PharmStar Announces Initial Distribution Agreement for Aquaprin
WILSON, NC, Oct 20, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- PharmStar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: PHAR) (the "Company") today announced that it has signed a commitment letter for a 3-year wholesale distribution agreement for its signature product line, Aquaprin.
Alert Medical Supply ("AMS"), a worldwide wholesale distributor located in Brooklyn, NY, has committed to order a total of $5 million of Aquaprin over a three-year period, beginning upon PharmStar's initial operations for the production of Aquaprin, which Pharmstar's management is planning for the third quarter of 2012. The agreement will require the Company to meet a minimum order requirement over the period of the contract before additional product can be made available to other distribution channels. AMS will look to expand its distribution agreement to include extension products that have been developed by the Company as they become available in the product supply channel.
AMS is also making a direct investment in PharmStar through its Preferred D offering to further the Company's goals of meeting its production deadlines.
PharmStar CEO Howard Phykitt stated, "Distribution is a key function in getting Aquaprin to retail shelves in a timely manner, as we all know. We continue to develop distribution agreements with companies that have experience in getting products to market and on time. Alert Medical meets that goal for us, and we expect this partnership to grow as our ability to produce more Aquaprin grows. Additionally, AMS is now a minority equity partner, and as such is incentivized to help streamline the distribution process."
AMS President Babatunde Kupoluyi stated, "It is exciting to be the first distributor of Aquaprin. I had the opportunity to test Aquaprin, and it is a great product. I made the commitment to the Company with my first order, and show my belief in the product by putting together an equity position as well. I look forward to assisting in getting this aspirin product to market."
