Advanced Medical Isotope Corporation Provides Additional Update on Strategic Plan

KENNEWICK, WA / ACCESSWIRE / April 30, 2015 / Advanced Medical Isotope Corporation (“AMIC”) (PINKSHEETS: ADMD), a late stage development company engaged in the development of brachytherapy devices for therapeutic applications, today provided an update on additional matters that will significantly simplify AMIC’s capital structure and improve its balance sheet.

In November and December of 2014, in connection with the conversion of certain convertible debt and exercise of warrants, there was an error in the calculation of common shares that should have properly been issued, resulting in significant excess issuances of common stock. The miscalculations were the result of conversions and exercises being executed below the Company’s stated par value of $0.001. The transfer agent erroneously issued excess freely tradable common shares based on defective legal opinions provided by the respective note and warrant holders.

In order to remedy the situation, the Company has notified all applicable convertible note and warrant holders of the excess issuance and has proposed specific solutions to facilitate compliance with the State of Delaware and federal securities laws. Specifically, the investors may either deliver to the transfer agent the excess shares they were issued, or they may offset any remaining convertible debt or warrants to satisfy proper consideration for the excess common shares issued.

AMIC believes that these actions will have a positive impact on the Company’s balance sheet, potentially eliminating up to $800,000 of convertible debt, potentially eliminating a substantial portion of the warrants outstanding and potentially eliminating a substantial amount of the nearly $11 million of derivative liabilities currently reflected on AMIC’s balance sheet. It is anticipated that these items will be reflected in the Company’s 2nd quarter 10-Q filing.

CEO James C. Katzaroff stated, “This is another important step in normalizing AMIC’s capital structure and significantly improving AMIC’s balance sheet. Following AMIC’s press release last week regarding the agreement of Cadwell and associated entities to convert $5 million of debt into preferred convertible stock with a fixed conversion price of $0.015 and the elimination of approximately $500,000 of seasoned trade payables without additional dilution, the initiatives announced today further demonstrate AMIC’s commitment to its recapitalization plan.” Katzaroff concluded, “As stated last week, AMIC remains focused on the commercialization of its Y-90 brachytherapy products that have been developed to offer new solutions for cancer treatment that improve on the safety, cost and efficacy of existing treatments. Today’s announcement is an important additional step in executing our strategic plan.”
