Date:9/22/2009

HUNTINGTON BEACH, California and AMSTERDAM, September 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Agendia, a world leader in molecular cancer diagnostics, today announced the successful closing of a US $23 million series E investment. The financing round was led by an undisclosed family investment firm that provided approximately half of the funds. In addition, two independent entrepreneurs participated with an investment of US $1 million each, while the remaining capital was raised through Agendia's existing investor base.

"The success of this financing round was aided by MammaPrint(R)'s increasing U.S. demand, as well as growing reimbursement from private U.S. payors. The proceeds will be used to accelerate the commercialization of MammaPrint in the U.S. market," said Dr. Bernhard Sixt, President and Chief Executive Officer of Agendia.

Dr. Sixt will present at the UBS Global Life Sciences Conference on Wednesday, September 23, 2009 at 1 p.m. (ET) in Ballroom D at the Grand Hyatt in New York.
