CORPORATE UPDATE
15 June 2009 - Medical Marketing International Group plc ("MMI" or the
"Company") (AIM:MMG), the life sciences company focused on the development of
drugs for cancer, today provides an update on the funding position of the
Company together with various other related announcements.
The Company has had further discussions with its advisors and with certain other
professional organisations that are independent of the Company. In an effort to
realise value for all stakeholders whilst recognising the currently unresolved
employment claims of David Best, previously Executive Chairman of the Company,
the Board of Directors is to significantly reduce the cost base of the business
whilst:
* continuing to explore potential merger/acquisition opportunities with third
parties;
* reviewing the disposal of assets to raise capital; and
* progressing discussions regarding further fundraising.
In this regard, the Company announces that Chris Banks and James Brenton, both
Non-executive Directors, have stepped down from the Board with immediate effect.
The Board would like to thank both Chris and James for their significant and
valued contributions during their time on the Board. As a result, the
responsibilities of the Company's Audit, Nomination and Remuneration Committees
have been assumed by the full Board.
The Company also announces that Mark Burton, Chief Technical Officer, will step
down from the Board at the end of the calendar year, following completion of his
contractual employment notice period.
Finally the Company announces that it has appointed Nabarro LLP as the Company's
corporate legal advisers.
A further update will be made in due course.
