Date:9/17/2007

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Kyphon Inc. (Nasdaq: KYPH) announced today that it has obtained clearance from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and U.S. Department of Justice under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (as amended) with respect to its acquisition of the non-vertebroplasty spine-related assets and associated intellectual property rights of Disc-O-Tech Medical Technologies, Ltd., a privately held Israeli company, and its U.S. subsidiary. This clearance relates to one of two definitive agreements entered into with Disc-O-Tech in December 2006.

Completion of this acquisition, which includes the B-Twin(TM) Expandable Spinal System for use in minimally invasive fusion procedures, remains subject to obtaining approvals of antitrust authorities in other relevant jurisdictions. Kyphon expects to complete the acquisition later this year.
