Imagine Media, Ltd., a Delaware corporation (“Imagine” or the “Company”)
(OTCBB: IMLE) today announced that it has signed a non-binding Letter of
Intent to acquire DMI Life Sciences, Inc., a Denver, Colorado-based
biotechnology company. (“DMI”). Under the terms of the LOI, if the
acquisition is completed, the shareholders of DMI will acquire
approximately 90.52% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the
Company, and the transaction will constitute a change in control.
Completion of the acquisition is subject to the satisfaction of several
conditions precedent, including, without limitation, the execution of a
definitive merger agreement, the satisfactory completion of due
diligence by both parties, the completion of audited financial
statements by DMI, and compliance with federal and state securities
laws. There can be no assurance that the transaction will be consummated.
“Gaining access to the
public markets will enable us to achieve our goals much sooner, and give
our shareholders the value and liquidity they deserve. With a large and
diverse portfolio, DMI is well positioned to move into the public market
place.”
DMI is commercializing a patent portfolio covering over 150 drug
compounds discovered by its Chief Scientific Officer, David Bar-Or, MD.
Dr. Bar-Or, who has been engaged in the discovery and development of
medical products for over 20 years, is currently the Director of Trauma
Research at Swedish Medical Center and St. Anthony's Hospital both
located in Denver. DMI’s three lead products relate to diabetic health
care, inflammatory disorders and aging.
“I have spent my life searching for solutions to major unmet medical
conditions that are affordable, proven safe, and simplify the long,
expensive and arduous regulatory process that stifles most discoveries,”
said Dr. Bar-Or.
Don Wingerter, DMI’s Chief Executive Officer, an experienced medical
products entrepreneur who founded Clear Vision Laser Centers and served
as CEO of Sound Surgical Technologies, added, “Gaining access to the
public markets will enable us to achieve our goals much sooner, and give
our shareholders the value and liquidity they deserve. With a large and
diverse portfolio, DMI is well positioned to move into the public market
place.”
Mr. Gregory Bloom, President of Imagine, stated, “We are extremely
excited about the possibility of acquiring DMI and bringing its
significant opportunities to our shareholders.”
If the acquisition is consummated, of which there can be no assurance,
it is expected that the Company will continue to trade on the NASD OTC
BB, under the symbol BTWO.
