Form 8-K for KENSEY NASH CORP


16-May-2008

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Costs Associated with Exit or Dispos


Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 12, 2008, Kensey Nash Corporation's (the "Company" or "Kensey Nash") Board of Directors approved and the Company subsequently entered into a definitive agreement to sell its endovascular business, including the ThromCat™, QuickCat™ and SafeCross™ products, to Spectranetics Corporation (Spectranetics). In connection with sale of its endovascular business the Company entered into an Asset Purchase, Manufacturing and Licensing, Development and Regulatory Services, License, and Non-competition Agreement (collectively the "Agreements"). Kensey Nash will receive up to $24 million in cash consisting of a $10 million initial cash payment, $8.0 million in future product development milestone payments, and a $6.0 million milestone associated with cumulative sales. In addition, Kensey Nash will receive royalties on future sales of the ThromCat™ and SafeCross™ products upon the transfer of product manufacturing to Spectranetics. There will be no royalty payments related to future sales of the QuickCat product. Under the terms of the manufacturing agreement, Kensey Nash will manufacture the ThromCat and SafeCross products for Spectranetics for an initial three-year period. The QuickCat product will be manufactured by Kensey Nash for a minimum period of six months. Spectranetics will be exclusively responsible for worldwide sales and marketing of all endovascular products. The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company made the strategic decision to sell the endovascular business to maximize the value of the Company's endovascular business by forming a partnership with Spectranetics, which the Company believes is well positioned to sell the Company's technologies in the thrombus removal and chronic total occlusion markets. The partnership arrangement with Spectranetics is structured similarly to the Company's successful partnerships in the biomaterials market and will allow Kensey Nash to focus on its core competencies in R&D, regulatory, clinical development and manufacturing while utilizing the strengths of its partner's existing, well-established sales and marketing organizations.

The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to close by June 30, 2008.

The Company will receive an initial cash payment of approximately $10 million for the sale of its endovascular business in exchange for tangible assets of $3.6 million and intangible assets of $1.3 million. In addition the Company will recognize goodwill and other asset impairment charges totaling approximately $6.8 million and recognize transaction related liabilities of approximately $2.9 million, including transaction fees and an obligation to upgrade existing inventory under the Development Agreement. Upon the closing of the transaction, and as a result of the components described above, the Company expects to recognize a net loss before tax effects of approximately $4.6 million on the sale of its endovascular division. This loss does not reflect the future benefit of milestones or royalties to be received under the Agreements, which is expected to exceed the cost of accomplishing such milestones. Also in conjunction with the transaction, the Company anticipates recording a one-time charge associated with severance and other related costs with respect to its endovascular sales and marketing employees. The Company cannot currently estimate the amount of this charge as Spectranetics is evaluating many of these employees for possible future employment with their organization. Once Spectranetics has completed its evaluation, the Company will be able to calculate the amount of severance costs due to its employees.

The following table summarizes the transaction amounts expected to be recorded in the fourth quarter ending June 30, 2008. These amounts will be presented within the Company's results from continuing operations.
