LecTec Corporation Reports Sale of Patents to Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc.

LecTec Corporation (OTCBB: LECT) announced today that it has sold certain of its patents to Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc. for $2,000,000. Such patents represent those for which the company settled prior litigation relating to its hydrogel patch technology. Provisions were made for LecTec to meet its contractual obligations pursuant to its prior litigation settlements and its agreement with Novartis Consumer Health, Inc. As a result of this sale, LecTec will not pursue further patent infringement litigation related to these patents. The sale proceeds will be subject to income taxation because of the prior use of LecTec’s federal net-operating-loss-carry-forward and related expenses.

Greg Freitag, CEO of LecTec stated: "This sale represents the continuation of the fulfillment of our business plan. We are pleased to have been able to complete this transaction and monetize a LecTec asset. This continues the Company’s move forward from the uncertainty of litigation outcome and intellectual property value to a focused effort on our merger strategy. LecTec is now well positioned to move forward and we believe our efforts will result in a positive situation for shareholders.”

About LecTec

LecTec is an intellectual property ("IP”) licensing and holding company with approximately $9M in cash at December 31, 2010. LecTec is pursuing a merger strategy which is intended to leverage its cash asset and improve shareholder value and liquidity, and has identified AxoGen Corporation (www.Axogeninc.com) as a candidate for this strategy. LecTec’s intellectual property portfolio contains domestic and international patents based on its original hydrogel patch technology and patent applications on a hand sanitizer patch. LecTec has completed through settlement its previous legal action against five defendants and sold a significant portion of its hydrogel patch intellectual property to Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc. Such actions have ended LecTec’s current pursuit of legal action regarding its intellectual property. LecTec also has a licensing agreement ("Novartis Agreement”) with Novartis Consumer Health, Inc., under which LecTec receives royalties from time to time based upon a percentage of Novartis’ net sales of licensed products. An effort to monetize the remainder of LecTec’s intellectual property is also ongoing, however, there can be no assurance that such effort will result in any additional substantial value.
