IDXG Interpace Biosciences Inc

Interpace Biosciences, Inc. (OTCQX: IDXG) (“Interpace” or the “Company”), a leader in enabling personalized medicine, has announced the closing of a definitive asset purchase agreement under which Flagship Biosciences, Inc. has acquired the Company’s Pharma Services business (Interpace Pharma Solutions). The Company will use the proceeds from the transaction for working capital requirements and investments to help drive the growth of its molecular diagnostics business.

"With the completion of the transaction, we expect the Company’s operating cash flow to improve by nearly $5 million annually. We will be a focused Molecular Diagnostic Company offering best in class solutions and diagnostic insights, for determining the presence of certain cancers to clinicians and their patients. We believe that eliminating the negative cash flow burden of the Pharma Services business will allow the Company and management to focus time and resources on product expansion, advancing the clinical utility of existing and new products, additional revenue growth through increased client acquisition, and reimbursement increases as a result of contract and billing improvement, leading to substantially improved margins” said Dr. Thomas Burnell, President and CEO.

“In addition,” continued Dr. Burnell “I believe the focus of our resources and attention solely to innovative improvements and growth of the Diagnostics business will provide the greatest benefit to our current and new clients as well as shareholders.”
