Surgical to Purchase Canon's Interest in Japanese Joint Venture PR Newswire "US Press Releases "
MONROVIA, Calif , Oct. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- STAAR Surgical Company (Nasdaq: STAA), a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of minimally invasive ophthalmic products, today announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire the interests of all other shareholders in Canon Staar Co., Inc. , a joint venture that was formed by STAAR, Canon Inc. and Canon Marketing Japan, Inc. in 1988 to develop, manufacture and sell in Japan products using STAAR's technology. On the closing of the transaction the entity will be renamed STAAR Japan, Inc. and become a wholly owned subsidiary of STAAR.
At closing STAAR will pay to the Canon companies $4 million in cash and 1.7 million newly issued shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and will acquire the 50% interest in Canon Staar currently owned by the Canon companies. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will be convertible into common stock at a one-to-one ratio, and under certain circumstances will be redeemable for cash at $4 per share.
Canon Staar's current business consists of manufacturing and selling the Preloaded Injector, which is a silicone or acrylic intraocular lens packaged and shipped in a pre-sterilized, disposable injector ready for use in cataract surgery. Canon Staar is also currently seeking approval from the Japanese regulatory authorities to market in Japan STAAR's Visian(R) ICL(TM), Collamer(R) IOL and AquaFlow(R) Device. Canon Staar recorded worldwide sales of $10.4 million in fiscal year 2006.
At closing STAAR Japan will take over the intraocular lens distribution business currently operated by Canon Marketing Japan and will be able to directly market its products. Ownership of STAAR Japan, and the termination of the principal joint venture agreements, will also give STAAR exclusive control over the rights to use STAAR's patents and other proprietary technology in Japan and China that were licensed to the joint venture at its inception in 1988 and under a Settlement Agreement entered into in 2001.
"The buy-out of Canon Staar brings us to a significant milestone in our international growth strategy," said David Bailey, President and CEO of STAAR Surgical. "We will have the capability to sell our cataract products directly in the large and growing Japanese market, which should yield enhanced gross margins and greater control over marketing and distribution. Our experience in Korea also suggests that with potential approval of our refractive products, the Visian ICL(TM) and Visian TICL(TM), Japan could become a large growth market for us. This transaction also strengthens our intellectual property position in Preloaded Injectors, which we believe will become the standard of care.
"Our partnership with the Canon companies has nurtured a technologically outstanding ophthalmic device maker in Japan ," Mr. Bailey added. "Canon Staar introduced the world's first Preloaded Injector in 2003 and the first acrylic Preloaded Injector in 2006, and we believe it maintains leadership in this technology. The Canon companies' decision to sell their interest in this business gives STAAR, with its smaller scale and exclusive focus on ophthalmic implants, an opportunity to realize the full potential of the resources that we jointly developed in Japan . The significant stake in STAAR's equity that the Canon companies will have after the buy-out reflects both the importance of Canon's contribution to STAAR's future success and, we believe, the Canon companies' understanding that fully integrating the Japanese business into STAAR's worldwide business could yield significant value for our stockholders."
Canon Staar's acrylic Preloaded Injector, currently approved for sale in Japan and China , employs an acrylic lens supplied Nidek Co., Ltd. under an arrangement that will continue after the transaction. Nidek has also acted as a Japanese subdistributor for Canon Staar's silicone Preloaded Injectors, and STAAR anticipates that Nidek will continue to handle this sales channel after the closing of the transaction.
The closing of the acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and is scheduled to occur on December 28, 2007 or after all conditions to closing have been met. STAAR has sufficient cash reserves to pay the cash consideration under the Purchase Agreement and complete the transaction. STAAR may, however, elect to seek financing for the transaction and additional working capital purposes. Based on recent indications of interest, STAAR believes it could obtain such financing on reasonably acceptable terms should it choose to do so.

NEWS:Cyclone Power Technologies' CEO Presents Engine Technology at N.Y. Investor Conference
POMPANO BEACH, Fla., Oct. 24, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Cyclone Power Technologies Inc. (Pink Sheets:CYPW) announced today that its CEO, Harry Schoell, was a feature presenter at this past weekend's Wealth Expo in New York City.


Mr. Schoell used this forum to introduce the company and its clean, green engine technology to the audience of high net-worth investors. Presenting along with Mr. Schoell were Ron Insana, managing director of Insana Capital Partners and former anchor of CNBC's Street Signs; Charles V. Payne, a widely recognized financial analyst and regular guest on the Fox News Channel; and Jean Chatzky, an award winning journalist, best-selling author and columnist for the New York Daily News.

"I'm pleased to have had the opportunity to explain our clean engine technology and its enormous financial potential to this group of knowledgeable investors," stated Mr. Schoell. "Cyclone has the right technology at the right time, and this presents a great opportunity for investors."

Mr. Schoell will also be featured in a televised interview with Peter Ward, which is expected to air next month on www.wallst.net.

CORPORATE PROFILE

Cyclone holds the U.S. patent, international patent applications, and exclusive commercial rights to the Green Revolution Engine(tm) an environmentally-friendly and highly-efficient external combustion, heat-regenerative engine. Developed by Cyclone's President and CEO, Harry Schoell, the Cyclone engine regenerates (or recycles) its heat, which allows it to run cleaner, cooler and more efficiently than traditional internal combustion engines. The Green Revolution Engine is capable of running on any liquid or gaseous fuel, including ethanol, bio-diesel and propane. The company also recently filed a patent application for its Waste Heat Engine, a low-pressure engine capable of running on heat emitted from external sources, including the waste exhaust of a power generator or renewable solar power. Both these engines are lubricated with de-ionized water instead of motor oil, and by eliminating many subsystems like oil pumps, radiators, catalytic converters and fuel injectors, the Cyclone engines are expected to cost less to manufacture, operate and maintain. The Green Revolution Engine in particular is highly scalable and sufficiently powerful for applications ranging from lawn equipment and small home generators, large stand-alone generators, to cars, trucks, buses, RV's, boats and ships, as well as earth moving equipment and locomotives.
