The technical screen process was completed in the normal expected time and a decision by the EPA on the approval for BVT-CR7 is expected in the first half of 2018.

"We are very pleased to have completed this very important step with the EPA and that we are within the expected timelines for the regulatory review process," stated Ashish Malik, CEO of BVT.

The regulatory dossier submitted to the EPA, will also be used as the basis for submissions for registration in additional countries as the Company continues its strategy of selectively expanding its market potential.
