On January 3, 2012, BioMimetic Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it has received a comprehensive post-panel response letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding the Company’s Pre-Market Approval (PMA) application for Augment® Bone Graft.  The FDA letter concludes that the Augment PMA is not approvable and outlines the additional information that BioMimetic would need to submit for the application to be approvable.

On January 3, 2012, the Company also announced receipt of the CE Mark approval of GEM 21S® Growth-factor Enhanced Matrix in the European Union.  This approval, obtained on behalf of Luitpold Pharmaceuticals, Inc., triggers a $10 million final milestone payment from Luitpold to the Company.  This milestone payment was a condition of the Company’s sale of GEM 21S to Luitpold in 2008.
