Antibe Therapeutics Inc. ("Antibe") (TSXV:ATE, OTCQX:ATBPF)
today announced that its subsidiary Citagenix Inc. (“Citagenix”)
has launched PentOS OI™ Putty, the first product of a new family of
bone graft substitutes that have a proven ability to form bone.
PentOS OI™ Putty will be available to oral and maxillofacial
surgery customers and will be joined by three additional PentOS OI™
products that are expected to launch in the coming months: PentOS
OI™ Flex, PentOS OI™ Sponge and PentOS OI™ Fill.
PentOS OI™ Putty is a demineralized bone matrix (“DBM”) made
from 100% human bone and does not contain any extrinsic carriers.
All of our PentOS OI™ grafts are verified for osteo-inductivity
prior to distribution to ensure that each graft facilitates bone
formation. Independent in vivo testing (post-sterilization)
demonstrates all five elements of bone formation are present in our
PentOS OI™ grafts: chondrocytes, osteocytes, bone marrow cells,
cartilage, and new bone. In vitro tests of PentOS OI™ demonstrate
levels of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (“BMP”) up to 19-times the
control levels.
"The launch of PentOS supports our strategy of building the
‘portfolio of choice’ for dental surgeons by offering a highly
osteo-inductive DBM at a competitive price,” said Dan Legault,
Antibe’s CEO. We are excited about additional product launches in
the coming quarters and remain committed to executing new business
and product development opportunities that leverage our commercial
platform.”
PentOS OI™ Putty will be offered in the Canadian market through
our direct sales force and globally via our network of distribution
partners. To learn more about the PentOS OI™ suite of products,

In addition, Antibe announces that it has elected to pay in-kind
all interest due April 15, 2016 under the Company’s 10% senior
secured convertible debentures due October 15, 2018 (the
"Debentures"). The Debentures provide that Antibe may, at its sole
option, elect to pay in-kind certain interest payments.
The aggregate April 15, 2016 interest payment under the
Debentures in the amount of $77,587.19 has been added to the
principal amount of the Debentures (the "Added Principal Amount").
The holders of Debentures may convert the principal amount of each
Debenture into Antibe common shares at a price of $0.22 per common
share. As a result of the addition of the Added Principal Amount to
the principal amount of the Debentures, an additional 352,683
common shares in the capital of Antibe will be issuable on the
conversion of the principal amount of the Debentures.
