("Futura" or the "Company")
Futura Medical extends collaboration with Cooper Consumer
Health
Futura Medical plc (AIM: FUM) ("Futura" or the "Company"), the
pharmaceutical company developing innovative sexual health products
, today announces that it has extended until January 2029 its
exclusive licensing agreement with Cooper Consumer Health
("Cooper"), a leading European independent self-care organisation,
for the rights to commercialise Eroxon (R), the Company's topical,
gel-based Erectile Dysfunction ("ED") treatment, throughout the
European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland.
The extension builds on an initial agreement signed in May 2022
for the exclusive rights to commercialise Eroxon in these
territories for an initial five-year period. The terms of the
agreement are otherwise unchanged with Futura remaining the Legal
Manufacturer(1) and responsible for the supply of Eroxon through
its third-party contract manufacturers. Futura looks forward to
continuing to grow its relationship with Cooper.
Eroxon has been approved as the first pan-European topical
treatment for ED available without prescription. Initial launches
commenced in March 2023 in the UK and Belgium, with further
launches across Europe during 2024, including the key markets of
Italy, Spain, France and Germany.
James Barder, Chief Executive Officer of Futura Medical said :
"The award-winning launch of Eroxon was a key milestone in our
partnership with Cooper and the success of our collaboration makes
this extension an easy decision for both parties. We are committed
to providing treatment to those suffering from ED and as such we
continue the commercial roll-out of Eroxon across the world."
Bart Meermans, President of Cooper Consumer Health said:
"Cooper's ambition is to become a leading European consumer
healthcare platform. Eroxon is an exciting new innovation for the
erectile dysfunction market and we look forward to working closely
with Futura with the continuing launches of Eroxon across our
markets."
(1) Legal manufacturer means the organisation responsible for
the design, manufacture, packaging and labelling of a device before
it is placed on the market under that organisation's own name,
regardless of whether these operations are carried out by that
organisation or on its behalf by a third party contract
manufacturer.

About Futura Medical plc
Futura Medical plc (AIM: FUM), is a pharmaceutical company
developing a portfolio of innovative sexual health products based
on its proprietary, transdermal DermaSys(R) technology. Each
DermaSys(R) formulation is separately patented and specifically

MED3000 is Futura's topical gel formulation that is a novel
treatment for erectile dysfunction ("ED") through a unique
evaporative mode of action and is sold in Europe and the UK under
the brand name Eroxon(R). Futura has conducted two Phase 3 studies
using MED3000 in ED; the FM57 study which enabled Futura to be
granted a CE Mark in 2021 and FM71 which enabled Futura to be
granted US marketing authorisation. Both studies demonstrated that
MED3000 presents an effective clinically proven treatment for ED
with a rapid speed of onset and a favourable benefit versus risk
profile ideally suited for an 'Over the Counter'
classification.
