Fero Industries Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire Sucanon Diabetes Treatment
CALGARY, Alberta - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Fero Industries, Inc. (OTCBB: FROI) (the "Company" ) is pleased to
announce that it has entered into an Asset Acquisition Agreement with
GVEST Inc., an Ontario Corporation, for the acquisition of certain
intellectual property and other associated rights related to the
production, marketing, and distribution of Sucanon, a
treatment for Type II diabetes.
Sucanon is one of only three approved drugs in the $5.6
billion dollar market for a class of diabetic medications called
"Insulin Sensitizers." Pre-clinical and clinical studies in China and
Brazil show that Sucanon and other insulin Sensitizers lower
a patient's blood sugar by increasing the muscle, fat and liver's
sensitivity to the body's own naturally produced insulin.
Sucanon is currently approved as an Over-The-Counter ("OTC")
remedy for Type II diabetes by regulatory authorities in Mexico and is
distributed under an agreement with Merck S.A. de C.V. in Mexico and
throughout Latin America. Sucanon is available in Mexico at
both Costco and Wal-Mart. Mexico is the eighth largest pharmaceutical
market and has one of the largest diabetic populations in the world.
"The signing of this agreement detailing the terms for the purchase of
Sucanon moves our growth-by-acquisition strategy one step
closer to its first significant accomplishment," said Mr. Kyle
Schlosser, President and CEO and Fero Industries. "There may be global
market potential for Sucanon and we look forward to further
developing distribution channels for the benefit of Type II diabetes
sufferers."
The Asset Acquisition Agreement is subject to customary closing
conditions and completion of necessary due diligence. It is anticipated
that the Agreement will close on or prior to June 30, 2010.
