Remedent, Inc. and Den-Mat Holdings Sign Exclusive North American Distribution Agreement for FirstFit, a Revolutionary Solution for Dental Bridges & Crowns

DEURLE, BELGIUM and SANTA MARIA, CA--(Marketwire - June 09, 2009) - Two leaders in cosmetic dentistry, Remedent, Inc. (OTCBB: REMI) and Den-Mat Holdings, LLC, have signed an exclusive North American distribution agreement for Remedent’s new FirstFit™ technology.

FirstFit is a revolutionary patent-pending system for the creation and placement of dental bridges and crowns, which was announced by Remedent earlier today. California-based Den-Mat is the world’s largest producer of dental veneers, and is an established marketing and technology partner of Remedent’s.

The FirstFit system requires no temporary placements, creates less mouth trauma and takes fewer office visits to complete. With economic benefits for both patients and dentists, the new technology addresses an expanding U.S. market for dental crowns and bridges, and has the potential to change the way modern dentistry is practiced.

“This agreement builds upon our partnership which began with Lumineers and will significantly expand our presence in the North American professional dental market,” said Guy De Vreese, CEO of Remedent. “We greatly value Den-Mat’s substantial commitment of resources to FirstFit, as we introduce the many revolutionary features and benefits the new technology offers both dentists and the consumer. This agreement reflects the tremendous potential we both see with FirstFit.”

The terms of the agreement grant Den-Mat an exclusive right to market, license and sell FirstFit products in the United States, Canada, and Mexico in consideration for a non-refundable $400,000 development fee and a non-refundable $600,000 license fee payable to Remedent in installments, as well as certain royalty payments based on the sales of the FirstFit products by Den-Mat (or its sublicensees) and certain minimum royalty payments to maintain its exclusivity under the agreement.

The agreement is subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions which includes, in addition to customary closing conditions, due diligence completed to Den-Mat’s satisfaction with respect to the FirstFit products; delivery of legal opinion and certain executed non-competition agreements; and delivery of the development payment and first installment of the license payment.
