Volcano Corporation Announces Agreement To Acquire AtheroMed

5/27/2014

 
Via Marketwatch:
SAN DIEGO, May 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Volcano Corporation VOLC +2.09% , a leading developer and manufacturer of precision guided therapy tools designed to enhance the diagnosis and treatment of coronary and peripheral vascular disease, said today it has signed an agreement to acquire AtheroMed, Inc., a privately-held company that has developed the Phoenix® Atherectomy System used in the treatment of peripheral artery disease (PAD).

The Phoenix, which received 510(k) clearance in January 2014 and has a CE Mark, enables physicians to treat PAD with a low profile peripheral atherectomy catheter that continuously removes diseased material as it is debulked. The device has reimbursement in the U.S. and select countries in Europe.

Under terms of the agreement, Volcano will pay $115.0 million in cash at closing, which is expected to occur in the current quarter. In addition, Volcano will make a $15 million milestone payment if a Phoenix device currently before the FDA receives clearance by November 15, 2014. This application covers design for manufacturing improvements to the currently approved device. In addition, the agreement calls for potential future revenue-based milestone payments by Volcano to AtheroMed.
