Aytu BioScience Announces European Distribution Agreements for Company's MiOXSYS™ System for Male Infertility

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., June 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Aytu BioScience, Inc. (OTCQX: AYTU), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on global commercialization of novel products in the field of urology, today announced that it has entered into agreements with five leading European specialty medical distributors to commercialize the Company's MiOXSYS™ System. MiOXSYS is the company's in vitro diagnostic platform for assessing the level of oxidative stress in semen as an aid in the diagnosis of infertility in men. In January, MiOXSYS obtained CE Marking in Europe and other markets.

Aytu's distribution partners were chosen for their experience in the commercialization of reproductive health products and their strong presence in countries with a significant market opportunity for male infertility products. The initial European commercial network includes Tani Medikal in Turkey, TECOmedical in Switzerland and Germany, Parallabs in the United Kingdom and France, THP Medical Products in Austria, and Durviz S.L. in Spain. Aytu expects to expand its ex-U.S. distribution channel in line with ramping commercial sales in territories where MiOXSYS is approved.

Josh Disbrow, Chief Executive Officer of Aytu, stated, "These distribution partners set a very high standard in marketing reproductive health products like MiOXSYS. As Aytu continues to garner interest among European reproductive medicine experts, it was important to align with strategic distributors who understand the European infertility market. We look forward to generating initial sales for MiOXSYS in Europe as we continue to build support among prominent thought leaders in the field of male reproductive health."
