Melville, New York, April 19, 2010 - Bovie Medical Corporation (the “Company”) (AMEX:BVX) today announced it entered into a definitive agreement on April 18, 2010, to sell securities to institutional investors in a private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $3 million.

Under the terms of the offering, Bovie will sell 571,429 shares of common stock in the aggregate at a price of $5.25 per share.  The purchasers will also receive warrants to purchase 285,714 shares of common stock in the aggregate which are exercisable immediately and have an exercise price of $6.00 per share and a term of 5 years.  The exercise price of the warrants may be adjusted in the event of subsequent events, including stock splits and dividends and the issuance of securities at a price that is less than the exercise price of warrants then in effect.  Net proceeds from the offering will be used for general working capital purposes.
