Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 20, 2012, Znomics, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Termination Agreement (the "Termination Agreement") with iScience Interventional Corporation ("iScience"), a privately held company incorporated in Delaware, and IZ Merger Corp. ("Merger Sub"), a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (collectively, the "Parties"), pursuant to which the Company and iScience terminated an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 10, 2012, by and among the Parties (the "Merger Agreement"). Effective immediately, the Termination Agreement terminates the Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(g) of the Merger Agreement, which permits termination by either party if the closing thereof did not occur prior to November 15, 2012 (the "Termination").
As a result of the Termination, the Termination Agreement provides that (i) the Merger Agreement will become void and have no effect, except for certain provisions that will survive the Termination, including the definitions, general provisions, and sections governing termination and expenses, and (ii) the Parties will not be liable for any breach under any provision of the Merger Agreement if such breach occurred prior to the Termination. In addition, the Parties agree that each will redeliver all documents and materials of the other party related to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including such memoranda, notes, lists, records or other work papers derived from such material.
The Termination Agreement contains customary representations and warranties by Znomics and iScience with respect to their businesses and authority to act pursuant to the Termination Agreement. Either party may issue a press release after the date of the Termination Agreement announcing the Termination with the prior consent of the other party, which may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 20, 2012, the Merger Agreement was terminated by the Company and iScience pursuant to a provision of the Merger Agreement that permitted either party to terminate if the closing thereof had not occurred as of November 15, 2012.
