MOSCOW, April 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to shareholder inquiries, CEO Dave Anderson offers further comment on the improved financial position of Rafarma:

"Due to the overwhelming response to our recent news release regarding the VEBank loan restructuring the company would like to provide some additional details," said Anderson. A key element of the restructuring is a deferment creating significant cost savings--particularly when compounded. Another very significant element is an additional credit line of 25,000,000 (EUR). Both elements essentially create "new money" through the restructuring process. The additional credit line will allow for accelerated production, licensing and deployment of the pharmaceutical products currently in development. It is expected that this additional money will allow the company to expand at a much more accelerated rate.

Mr. Anderson commented further: "This restructuring has come at the most opportune time in the development of the company. Even without a precise quantification of the projected cash flow savings, it is abundantly clear that it is considerable and the effect for investors could be significant. The realization of these improved cash flows will undoubtedly help the company grow."

The original loan was due to begin payments in the beginning of April, 2014. The restructuring allows Rafarma to defer payments until 2018. The additional line of credit offered to the company also creates additional working capital to accelerate growth initiatives. Management is confident that this substantial cash infusion will propel Rafarma into one of the largest and most respected pharmaceutical companies in the Russian Federation.
