and outstanding capital stock of RxElite Holdings Inc.
("Holdings"), its wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, to Piramal
Healthcare Limited ("Piramal") for cash consideration of
approximately $4.2 million. In addition, approximately $3.2 million
of outstanding indebtedness and accrued interest due to an

portion of its long-term debt.
The sale included Holdings' current sales and marketing
specialists, as well as key administrative personnel. "This is a
positive step for the customers and employees related to the
domestic distribution of anesthetic agents," said Earl E. Sullivan,
RxElite's CEO. "The remaining RxElite team will continue to focus
on growing our FineTech API business and our pipeline of RxElite
ANDA filings."
