BOARD & MANAGEMENT
Mr Jeremy King Chairman
Mr Andrew Worland Non-Executive Director
COT has injected US$300,000 of equity into TBC to accelerate the manufacturing process.
COT chairman Mr Jeremy King commented:
“We’re excited by the opportunity to help move the BioFusionary Bebe’s market launch along. Physicians in the US who have used the device have strongly endorsed it as highly effective and non-invasive, which augurs well for the US market roll-out. We’re confident it will be equally well received in the Australian market. And TBC has already received expression of interest from outside the US to distribute the device.”
Evergreen Research Inc
TBC has engaged specialty medical device manufacturer, Evergreen Research, Inc. ( ERI ) to manufacture the BioFusionary Bebe™. ERI maintains a world-class manufacturing facility with extensive experience in the successful production of medical devices. Its quality system is certified to ISO 9001: 2000 and ISO 13485: 2003, the worldwide standard.
Importantly, TBC’s engagement of ERI frees the company to focus on sales and marketing and the development of additional products in its pipeline.
TBC’s CEO, Damon Cox said:
“We’ve negotiated a very attractive arrangement with ERI. Initially, we planned to manufacture the device in-house. However, by engaging ERI, we can leverage their Quality Systems, regulatory experience and history of manufacturing medical devices for many international organizations. This has saved TBC a tremendous amount of capital and resources up-front and poises TBC for rapid expansion as the market accelerates.”

About COT & TBC
COT announced its intention in a binding Heads of Agreement on 29 July 2014 to acquire 100% of The BioFusionary Corp for the issue of 100 million shares in COT as consideration. COT’s US$300,000 investment in TBC results in an adjustment to the consideration for the acquisition of TBC by way of a reduction of 3.27m shares to be issued to TBC shareholders. It does not affect the milestone payment of an additional $2.25 million worth of COT shares to be issued at the 20 day volume weighted average price on achievement of the Therapeutic Goods Administration approval of the BioFusionary Bebe™ for the Australian market.
