Bioniche Repays Revolving Credit Facility



2009 AUG 3 - (NewsRx.com) -- Bioniche Life Sciences Inc. ("Bioniche"; TSX: BNC), a research-based, technology-driven Canadian biopharmaceutical company, reported that it has received a US$20 million up-front payment from Endo Pharmaceuticals per the licensing agreement related to Urocidin™ (announced on July 10, 2009). The Company has used a portion of this payment to repay its credit facility with Valens U.S. and associated fees, a total of US$5.3 million. The remainder of the payment will be used for general corporate purposes and working capital.

"Valens has financed the Company through a challenging time of corporate development, helping the Company to advance its bladder cancer technology to Phase III clinical testing and its E. coli O157 vaccine - Econiche™ - to full Canadian license," said Graeme McRae, Chairman, President CEO of Bioniche Life Sciences Inc. "Their support has been invaluable."
