oops, I forgot cut/paste in my previous post.

 

Here is today's PR.

 

12:59p ET July 12, 2007 (Business Wire)

Vyta Corp (OTCBB:VYTC) and Justin Holdings, Inc. announced today that their equally owned joint venture, BioAgra, LLC, and Progressive BioActives, Inc., have amicably terminated the existing license agreement whereby BioAgra will cease operations utilizing Progressive BioActives's proprietary process for the manufacture of a purified yeast beta-1,3/1,6-D glucan product.

Since BioAgra's inception, it has been operating under a license agreement with Progressive BioActives, the holder of a pending patent application that was utilized for BioAgra's initial manufacturing process. BioAgra will be preparing a patent application to be filed with the United States Patent Office for the proprietary process and related proprietary technology to manufacture a purified yeast beta-1,3/1,6-D glucan known as Agrastim(R), which BioAgra has developed. Both BioAgra and Progressive BioActives feel it is in their best interests to pursue the different market opportunities available to each party using their own respective intellectual properties.

Both Vyta Corp and BioAgra believe this to be an excellent opportunity for BioAgra, presenting not only financial benefits, but allowing BioAgra the opportunity to operate in all possible markets for its product. For consideration of the termination of the existing Technology License Agreement, BioAgra will be making monthly termination payments to Progressive BioActives equivalent to 2.5% of all gross sales of beta glucans for a 10-year period. It is important to note that the termination of the Technology License Agreement will not have an effect on any contracts that BioAgra has already in place, including the recently announced AHD International agreement. Further details of the Termination Agreement can be found in the Current Report on Form 8K filed by Vyta Corp with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
