Plethora Solutions Holdings plc

New Product Distribution Agreement

Plethora Solutions Holdings plc (AIM: PLE, 'Plethora'), the UK-based specialty pharmaceutical company, is pleased to announce that it has concluded an exclusive distribution agreement with Fidia Farmaceutici SpA to acquire UK marketing rights to Hyalofemme™, a product for the treatment of vaginal dryness. This is the third commercial agreement to be concluded through Plethora's marketing arm, The Urology Company, which was launched in the second half of 2009 to build a portfolio of approved products to market and distribute into the UK specialist urology market.

Hyalofemme™ is a proprietary gel formulation of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring polysaccharide with moisturising and lubricating properties, which has been designed for the relief of vaginal dryness. This common condition can arise from the hormonal changes that occur after childbirth, before and after the onset of menopause or as a result of medications used in the treatment of breast and ovarian cancers. Twice weekly application of Hyalofemme™ has been shown to result in a reduction in vaginal discomfort without adverse changes to the vaginal environment.

The Urology Company expects to launch Hyalofemme™ in the UK, where it has not been available previously, in the third quarter of 2010. The product will be marketed via retail pharmacies and also direct to consumers.

Antonio Germani, Fidia Farmaceutici's Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"This collaboration is a milestone for Fidia's international growth in the field of urology. We look forward to the launch of Hyalofemme™ in the UK and to increasing our activities in this clinical sector with our sodium hyaluronate based products."

Steven Powell, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"Hyalofemme™ represents the fifth product to enter the product portfolio of The Urology Company and we are excited by the potential that this product has to meet specific clinical needs in a wide range of patient groups. We remain on-track to meet our objective of launching between six and nine products through The Urology Company this year and the continued growth of this subsidiary will complement the Group's development and licensing activities."
