Nanogen to investigate alternatives to its planned merger with Elitech

26 January 2009

US firm Nanogen is to investigate alternatives to its planned merger with Elitech. The companies have agreed to mutually waive certain  conditions of their share exchange agreement, as the parties do not  believe the closing conditions will be met by the deadline of March 31.  The firms have yet to gain the approval of Nanogen shareholders and  have not yet raised the necessary working capital financing, as set out  in the agreement. Nanogen is still hoping that the deal will go ahead,  but is considering alternatives.
