"This listing on NASDAQ marks the culmination of a transformational year for us at BioSpecifics, and we believe it will greatly benefit our stockholders by enhancing our liquidity and overall visibility," stated Thomas L. Wegman, President of BioSpecifics. "In 2008, we announced positive Phase 3 clinical results for our collagenase product XIAFLEX(TM) for Dupuytren's disease and our partner Auxilium initiated the Phase 2b trial for Peyronie's disease. In addition, Auxilium just announced a major European licensing agreement with Pfizer, in which BioSpecifics will receive a share of both the upfront payment and sales and regulatory milestones. We are very much looking forward to further progress, including the filing with the U.S. Food and Administration of the Biologic License Application of XIAFLEX early this year."
