Trimeris, Inc. Reports Financial Results for the Second Quarter 2011

RHAM, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Trimeris, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRMS), today reported second quarter 2011 financial results. As previously reported, Trimeris entered into a new royalty arrangement with F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. (collectively, “Roche”) pursuant to an Amended and Restated Agreement dated as of May 25, 2011 and effective as of January 1, 2011 (the “New Roche Agreement”), which is described in footnote 1 to the attached statements of operations. Because the New Roche Agreement fundamentally changed the calculation of amounts payable to Trimeris, comparisons of financial results between the quarters and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 are not directly comparable.
