BioTelemetry, Inc. (NASDAQ: BEAT), the leading wireless medical technology company focused on the delivery of health information to improve quality of life and reduce cost of care, announced today that the tender offer of its wholly owned subsidiary, BioTelemetry Research Acquisition Corporation (“Offeror”), to purchase all outstanding common and preferred shares of VirtualScopics, Inc.

American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, the depositary for the tender offer, has advised BioTelemetry that, as of the expiration of the tender offer, a total of 1,968,869 shares of VirtualScopics’ common stock (excluding VirtualScopics shares delivered by notice of guaranteed delivery for which certificates were not yet delivered), 1,600 shares of VirtualScopics’ Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, 600 shares of VirtualScopics’ Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and 3,000 shares of VirtualScopics’ Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in the tender offer representing approximately 68.6% of the outstanding voting power of the shares and 100% of the Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock.  Additionally, notices of guaranteed delivery have been received with respect to approximately 35,594 shares of VirtualScopics’ common stock.  The Offeror has accepted for payment all shares that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to expiration of the offer, and payment for such shares will be made promptly, in accordance with the terms of the offer.
