Agile has been named as a "Top 10 Hot Space Projects to Watch" by Elsevier and will be giving a company presentation on November 29 at 3:40 pm Eastern time.

Mr. Altomari's presentation will provide an overview of the Company's recent milestones, its pipeline of products, and its growth strategy. Agile's lead investigational product is AG200-15, which is designed to be a once-weekly, low-dose contraceptive patch. The Company recently filed the NDA for AG200-15, and anticipates a response in 2013.

Elsevier considered various criteria when selecting the Top 10 Hot Space Projects to Watch, including the strength of the science behind the company's product(s), the market size for the company's product(s), and the unmet need for the company's product(s).

"It is an honor to be selected as a top project to watch by Elsevier," said Mr. Altomari. "We are proud of the work we have done in developing AG200-15, and we look forward to discussing this progress, as well as our pipeline of products and future plans, at Therapeutic Area Partnerships."

About AG200-15
AG200-15 is an investigational combination hormonal contraceptive patch, designed to deliver a low dose of ethinyl estradiol comparable to low-dose combination oral contraceptives. The phase III trials for AG200-15 enrolled nearly 2,000 women and formed the basis for the Company's application to the US Food and Drug Administration in 2012.

The AG200-15 patch is intended to be applied once weekly for three weeks, followed by a fourth, patch-free week. The patch is designed using a soft, flexible cloth, with a silky feel, and is intended to provide excellent adhesion, comfort, and appearance.
