FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT CerMed International announces a Shareholder Decision Monterey, CA – July 26, 2011 – CerMed International, a women’s healthcare medical device company, recently determined that a reverse stock split was necessary to accelerate the cancelation of shares granted as part of a March 2011 voided contract. The cancelled shares, in the form of stock certificates and electronic issuance format, will no longer be tradable in the market. The stock certificates were previously cancelled, and cancelation of the electronic shares was requested pursuant to clearinghouse procedures. The Company was advised that the electronic shares would take longer to cancel than originally reported. The most expeditious and effective remedy for elimination of these electronic shares is a reverse stock split followed by a tax free stock dividend of new shares to all shareholders of good standing. Therefore, based on the advice of our financial advisors and legal counsel, the Company’s board of directors unanimously approved the reverse stock split and stock dividend on July 13, 2011. The shareholders unanimously approved the reverse stock split at a special meeting held last week. Shareholders of good standing prior to the reverse split will receive new shares based on the same number of shares after the split and old cancelled shares will be replaced with the new dividend shares. Shareholders that have recently bought shares in CerMed in the market and who are not on the Company record are requested to contact CerMed if they wish to receive new dividend shares. CerMed will take this opportunity to change the stock trading symbol to reflect the Company’s name and corporate identity. Additional details about the effective implementation date of the Company’s reverse stock split, stock dividend, new stock symbol and other related data will be announced in due course.
