Commercial order volume and fees contractually committed and received by Curetis and Ares Genetics in 2019 have more than tripled from €1.1 million in 2018 to approximately €3.4 million in 2019. This increase in orders includes orders for Unyvero instruments and cartridges, and Ares Genetics’ laboratory and advanced bioinformatics services, as well as contractual fees for access to certain rights.
Evan Jones, Chairman & CEO of OpGen, stated, “We are pleased with the progress Curetis has made towards expanding the claims for their Unyvero LRT BAL test, and the successful accomplishment of key milestones that are required to complete the planned business combination of OpGen and Curetis. We are currently preparing documentation for both OpGen and Curetis to seek approval from stockholders and shareholders, and continuing conversations with other lenders of the parties. The meetings to support these approvals are anticipated to take place early in the first quarter of 2020.”
OpGen and Curetis entered into a definitive agreement to combine businesses on September 4, 2019. The closing of the transaction under such definitive agreement has not yet occurred and is subject to a number of significant closing conditions, including receipt of approval from the stockholders of OpGen, Inc. and the shareholders of Curetis, N.V. Until the closing occurs, each of OpGen and Curetis are operating as stand-alone businesses.
