Nuvo announces proposed amendments to outstanding convertible debentures

Date:8/1/2008

MISSISSAUGA, ON, Aug. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Nuvo Research Inc. (TSX: NRI), a Canadian drug development company focused on the research and development of drug products delivered to and through the skin using its topical and transdermal drug delivery technologies, today announced that it is proposing to amend the terms of its convertible, unsecured debentures (the "Debentures"), of which $4.136 million principal amount are outstanding.

Nuvo intends to seek the approval of the holders of the Debentures over the next few weeks by way of a written resolution, which, to be effective, must be signed by holders of two-thirds of the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures.

"These debentures are potentially problematic in that they mature and would have to be repaid, if not converted, soon after the date by which we expect to receive the U.S. FDA's response to our application for Pennsaid approval, which we expect to submit to the FDA in early 2009," stated Jim Moulds, Nuvo's Chief Financial Officer.
