(NTI®) (Nasdaq: NTII - News) today announced that it has entered into an agreement to terminate its license and cooperation agreement with Merz Pharmaceuticals GmbH (Merz) and Children's Medical Center Corporation (CMCC). Pursuant to the termination of the agreement, within 10 business days Merz will make a final payment to NTI in satisfaction of all its royalty and other obligations under the license and cooperation agreement. Also pursuant to the termination agreement, NTI and Merz agreed to a mutual release of all claims related to the license and cooperation agreement.

Under the license and cooperation agreement, as amended in 2008, NTI and CMCC have been entitled to receive quarterly royalty payments from Merz on sales of Memantine in the United States, with scheduled reductions in the royalty rates. The termination of the agreement with respect to NTI does not affect the rights and obligations flowing between Merz and CMCC under the amended agreement.
