Acrongenomics Signs a Memorandum of Understanding to Acquire the Majority Share of Cardioexpress Inc.

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Acrongenomics, Inc. (OTCBB:AGNM) are pleased to announce that we have entered into an agreement with Cardioexpress Inc. (www.cardioexpress.gr), a leading Greek telemedicine provider, to obtain a controlling percentage of its total shares through an exchange of shares agreement.

Cardioexpress is one of the largest European telemedicine support companies having a specialised license to offer telemedicine services. Cardioexpress operates a 24/7 medical call center, comprised of general and specialist Cardiologists, providing telemedical support to rural medical centers, municipal medical centers, private and public areas of high concentration of employees and visitors, ferry and cruise companies, shipping companies, as well as individuals, for preventive or corrective purposes. Patients self perform an electro-cardiogram using a Cardioexpress telecardiograph unit with the results sent over the telephone to the Cardioexpress medical centre.

Besides the telemedicine call center, Cardioexpress has developed and works to expand a network of affiliated external physicians, nurses and land and air ambulances. The scope of such network is to be able to further support and assist insurance companies in providing home health care to their clients. On February 1, 2010, Cardioexpress signed and is currently successfully implementing its first agreement with Mondial Assistance Europe NV in Greece. Besides the importance of cooperating with a company the size of Mondial Assistance, one of the largest medical insurance and assistance services group in the world, this agreement gives Cardioexpress a “first priority” status, thus potentially putting it in a strategically superior position with regards to future expansion.

The MOU commits the parties to explore ways for Acrongenomics to acquire 60% of Cardioexpress, but no parameters or price are yet established.

This prospective cooperation between Acrongenomics and Cardioexpress aims to complement and further strengthen both companies’ financial positions. Acrongenomics is seeking to add a niche life sciences service company to its existing medical technology portfolio. Cardioexpress, a leader in its market, with best-in-class capabilities in diagnosis and medical assistance performed from a distance, will gain from the Acrongenomics business experience, resources and growth potential.

John Giakoumis, General Manager of Cardioexpress, said, “Both our management team and our Board of Directors believe that this cooperation is the best approach towards realizing our ambitious business plan and maximizing our global growth potential. We at Cardioexpress believe that providing innovative services is a business imperative to drive growth and differentiation.”

“Our goal for diversification and expansion of Acrongenomics’ innovative technology portfolio is starting to become a reality”, stated Dr. Evan T. Manolis, Chairman of the Board of Acrongenomics. “Both companies have momentum and a tremendous opportunity ahead of them. Together we will be better able to achieve our combined targets and increase value to the best interest of our stockholders”.
