TORONTO, Sept. 4, 2012 /CNW/ - BIOSENTA INC. (CNSX: ZRO) (the "Company"). It has come to the Company's attention that Donald Meade, Rx 110 Inc. and Rx 100 Inc. have issued a press release today announcing settlement of litigation with the Company. All litigation involving Rx 110 Inc., Rx 100 Inc. and Donald Meade has been previously settled on the terms publicly disclosed March 7, 2012 and there have been no further discussions or litigation involving these persons or entities.
The Company entered into an intellectual property license agreement effective November 26, 2010 with Rx 110 Inc. in respect of certain patent rights purportedly held by Rx 110 Inc. and the Company issued 10 million Class A Shares in partial consideration of the license. As was previously publicly announced October 18, 2011, the Company obtained an initial injunction on a without notice basis (subsequently a continuing injunction) against Donald Meade, Rx 110 Inc., Rx 100 Inc. and others, restraining them from dealing in the shares issued pursuant to the license agreement. The Company also announced that it issued a statement of claim against Donald Meade, Rx 110 Inc., Rx 100 Inc. and certain others, seeking return for cancellation of the shares issued in consideration of the purported grant of an intellectual property license by Rx 110 Inc. to the Company. The Company alleged, among other things, that neither Donald Meade, Rx 110 Inc. nor Rx 100 Inc. held any Canadian patents purportedly subject to the license.
On March 7, 2012, the Company publicly announced that it had reached a binding settlement agreement with Donald Meade, Rx 110 Inc., Rx 100 Inc. and certain other defendants pursuant to which 8,552,123 of the shares issued in consideration for the grant of the intellectual property license would be returned to the Company for cancellation. The Company has publicly announced that 8,398,359 of these shares have been surrendered and cancelled to date. The remaining shares are held by a number of small shareholders.
As publicly announced by the Company June 10, 2011 and April 10, 2011, and in the Company's various other continuous disclosure filings, the Company has secured a license from the owners of the applicable and unrelated intellectual property necessary for its business.
