FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NuSep completes divestiture of non-Core ProteoIQ software
Sydney, Australia 15[th] March 2013– NuSep (ASX:NSP) wishes to update the market on its previous announcement on 24[th] January 2013 that NuSep had received an unsolicited offer to acquire its ProteoIQ software, which is a non-core asset of the Company.
The Company has now completed the sale of this software to PREMIER Biosoft and the ProteoIQ software will now be sold by PREMIER Biosoft.
The significance of this transaction is not the quantum of the sale price, which is not a material amount after expenses, but rather the refocusing of NuSep’s business on the PrIME Technology. The ProteoIQ software had been fully written off in a prior financial period and in the last six months ended 31 December 2012 only generated sales of $105,591.
ENDS
