Item 8.01. Other Events
On July 27, 2015, Digirad Corporation (the “Company”) announced that it entered into a stock subscription agreement (the “Agreement”) with Perma-Fix Medical, S.A. (“Perma-Fix Medical”), a publicly traded company listed on the NewConnect market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange. Perma-Fix Medical is a subsidiary of Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: PESI). Perma-Fix Medical is developing a proprietary process to produce Technetium-99m (“Tc-99m”) resin from non-enriched uranium sources for purposes of creating nuclear imaging isotopes.
Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company invested $1 million USD in exchange for 71,429 ordinary shares of Perma-Fix Medical, which constitutes approximately 5.4% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Perma-Fix Medical (the “Investment”). In connection with the Investment, Matthew Molchan, President and CEO of the Company, was appointed to the Supervisory Board of Perma-Fix Medical. Upon Perma-Fix Medical successfully completing development of the new Tc-99m resin, Perma-Fix Medical will supply the Company or its preferred nuclear pharmacy supplier with Tc-99m at a preferred rate and the Company will purchase agreed upon quantities of such Tc-99m for its nuclear imaging operations either directly or in conjunction with its preferred nuclear pharmacy supplier. The Company had previously announced entry into a preliminary Letter of Intent in connection with this investment in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 15, 2015.
A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference.
