In October 2007, Zargis and the 3M Company entered into an exclusive multi-year marketing alliance involving Zargis' heart sound analysis software and 3M Littmann's next-generation electronic stethoscope. Under the agreement, Zargis will support 3M in its efforts to develop a next-generation stethoscope that will be compatible with Zargis' heart sound analysis software. In addition, the alliance provides Zargis with a wide-range of marketing and promotional opportunities along with exclusive rights to sell its heart sound analysis software through the global distribution network of the Littmann brand. The agreement grants 3M a 10% minority equity position in Zargis, 5% following the first sale of Zargis' software through the 3M distribution channel and 5% in the event the agreement is renewed after an initial two year term and certain other conditions are met, and a seat on Zargis' board of directors.
