Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On February 15, 2006, we entered into a new distribution agreement with CL Medical, which replaces and supersedes the manufacturing and distribution agreement dated September 2, 2004. The new distribution agreement appoints us as the exclusive distributor of the I-Stop sling in the United States, and obligates CL Medical to supply us with the product’s entire requirements, sterilized, packaged, labeled and ready for sale, all manufactured in accordance with FDA laws and regulations. The new distribution agreement is for six years, with our right to renew it for successive five-year terms. We have a specified minimum purchase requirement of $355,000 of units in the first 12-month period following January 1, 2006, increasing to approximately $2.6 million of units over a five-year period, subject to periodic adjustment based on the value of the euro. The purchase price is payable in euros. If we fail to reach our minimum purchase requirement in any 12-month period, CL Medical has the right to terminate our exclusive distribution rights in the United States.
Under the new distribution agreement, CL Medical has agreed to provide us with any improvements or modifications it makes to the I-Stop sling during the term of the agreement without additional charge. In addition, CL Medical has granted us a right of first refusal for exclusive distribution rights in the United States to any new medical devices or procedures it develops during the term of the agreement. We have agreed that during, and for one year after, the term of our agreement, we will not manufacture our own, or market any other party’s tension-free vaginal tape product for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. If for any reason CL Medical is prohibited from exporting the I-Stop sling into the United States, CL Medical is required to supply us the components necessary to manufacture, package and label the I-Stop sling in the United States market.

NEWS RELEASE
UROPLASTY, INC. ANNOUNCES EXCLUSIVE I-STOP MID-URETHRAL
SLING DISTRIBUTION
MINNEAPOLIS, MN, February 20, 2006 — Uroplasty, Inc. (AMEX: UPI) announced execution of a six-year agreement with CL Medical, Lyon, France for exclusive distribution of the I-STOP™ Mid-Urethral Sling product in the United States. The I-STOP tape is the only monofilament polypropylene tape specifically designed for application as a sling for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. This February 2006 agreement supersedes the September 2004 agreement.
Sam B. Humphries, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased to further strengthen our long-term, world-wide relationship with CL Medical. This agreement demonstrates our commitment to develop and market a platform of innovative, minimally-invasive products for voiding dysfunctions and is a key element in our growth.”
***
Uroplasty, Inc., headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with wholly-owned subsidiaries in The Netherlands and the United Kingdom, is a medical device company that develops, manufactures and markets innovative, proprietary products for the treatment of voiding dysfunctions, including urinary and fecal incontinence, overactive bladder and vesicoureteral reflux.
The I-STOP™ Mid-Urethral Sling is a biocompatible, tension-free sling used to treat female stress urinary incontinence resulting from urethral hypermobility, a condition in which the urethra is not properly supported by surrounding tissues. The unique closed-loop design of the tape provides an atraumatic tape edge; the lengthwise polypropylene strands provide strength, dimensional stability and controlled flexibility; this design resists fragmentation, stretching and deformity during the implant procedure.
The I-STOP sling provides a hammock-like support for the urethra to prevent urine leakage associated with activities such as coughing, laughing, lifting or jumping. A European multi-center study documented the clinical success of the I-STOP product. This study revealed an 85% patient satisfaction rate, verified I-STOP safety and clinical efficacy, and confirmed an extremely low rate of surgical complications. Uroplasty sells the I-STOP Sling in the United Kingdom and in the United States.
The Urgent® PC Neuromodulation System is a proprietary, minimally invasive nerve stimulation device designed for office-based treatment of overactive bladder symptoms of urge incontinence, urinary urgency and urinary frequency. Application of neuromodulation therapy targets specific nerve tissue and disrupts the signals that lead to the symptoms of overactive bladder. Uroplasty sells the Urgent PC system in the United States, in Canada and in countries recognizing the CE symbol. Outside the United States, the Urgent PC is also indicated for the treatment of fecal incontinence
Macroplastique® Implants, Uroplasty’s patented soft tissue bulking agent, is used to treat both female and male urinary incontinence and to treat vesicoureteral reflux in children. When Macroplastique is injected into tissue, it stabilizes and “bulks” the tissue, providing the surrounding muscles with increased capability to control the flow of urine. Additionally, Uroplasty markets soft tissue bulking agents for specific indications such as PTQ™ Implants for the treatment of fecal incontinence, VOX® Implants for the treatment of vocal cord rehabilitation and Bioplastique® for augmentation or restoration of soft tissue defects in plastic surgery indications. Uroplasty’s bulking products are sold outside the United States.
