with Cardium Therapeutics for Excellagen(R)

Angel Biomedical Limited, a subsidiary of Angel Biotechnology Holdings plc (AIM: ABH), a global biopharmaceutical contract manufacturer, is pleased to announce an agreement with Cardium Therapeutics (NYSE Amex: CXM). The contract value will be in excess of GBP400,000 over the initial 12 month period, and will cover the manufacture of formulated collagen for Cardium's Excellagen(R) product, which has recently been cleared for marketing by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Additionally, Angel Biomedical will assist Cardium in establishing its own Device Master File with the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health covering the process for manufacturing the Company's Excellagen formulated fibrillar collagen gel.

Christopher J. Reinhard, Chairman and CEO of Cardium Therapeutics said "We are pleased to announce the agreement with Angel Biomedical following Angel's recent asset purchase of a collagen manufacturing facility located in Glasgow, Scotland. This new agreement is a logical next step that provides for a continuation of the specialized formulated collagen supply that is needed to support Excellagen's commercialization activities".

Products are produced to current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) standards as required by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and in facilities that are certified to European standards by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).

Its customers range from early-stage biotechnology companies including ReNeuron plc and US-based Pathfinder Cell Therapy, to established pharmaceutical companies such as Russian-based Materia Medica Holdings.
