On April
13, 2009, the arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) in the arbitration proceeding (the
“Proceeding”) between Xcorporeal, Inc.’s (the “Company”) wholly-owed subsidiary,
Xcorporeal Operations, Inc. (“Operations”), and National Quality Care, Inc.
(“NQCI”) issued a Partial Final Award (the “Award”), which resolved
the remaining issues that were pending for decision in the Proceeding. The Award
adopts one of the proposals submitted to the Arbitrator by the Company and
provides that the Company and Operations shall have a perpetual exclusive
license (the “Perpetual License”) in the Technology (as defined in the Merger
Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2006 (the “Merger Agreement”), among the
Company, Operations and NQCI and the License Agreement, dated as of September 1,
2006 (the “License Agreement”), between the Company and NQCI) primarily related
to the Wearable Artificial Kidney and any other Technology contemplated to be
transferred under the Technology Transaction (as defined in the Merger
Agreement). Under the terms of the Award, in consideration of the Perpetual
License to the Company, NQCI was awarded a royalty of 39% of all net income,
ordinary or extraordinary, received by the Company (the “Royalty”) and NQCI is
to receive 39% of any shares received in any merger transaction to which the
Company or Operations may become a party. NQCI’s interest as licensor under the
Perpetual License shall be freely assignable. In addition, the Award provides
that the Company shall pay NQCI an amount equal to approximately $1,871,000 in
attorneys’ fees and costs previously awarded by the Arbitrator in an order
issued on August 13, 2008, that NQCI’s application for interim royalties and
expenses is denied and that NQCI is not entitled to recover any additional
attorneys’ fees. Finally, the Award also provides that the arbitrator shall
retain jurisdiction to supervise specific performance of the terms and
obligations of the Award including, but not limited to, any dispute between the
parties over the manner of calculation of the Royalty. The Award was issued by
the Arbitrator as a result of each party’s request for the Arbitrator to order
alternative relief due the parties’ inability to proceed with the Technology
Transaction.
The
Company intends to seek confirmation of the portions of the Award relating to
the grant of the Perpetual License in the Technology to the Company, including
the Royalty terms, by commencing a proceeding with respect thereto in Los
Angeles Superior Court. NQCI will have the opportunity to object to such
confirmation and to appeal the terms of the Award. Subject to the confirmation
of the Award by the court, the Company intends to continue to explore various
strategic alternatives, which may include the license of certain of the
Company’s intellectual property rights as a means to further develop its
technologies, among other possible transactions.
In light
of the terms of the Award, the Technology Transaction will not occur and the
Company will no longer be obligated to issue to NQCI 9,230,000 shares of its
common stock (the “Shares”) formerly required pursuant to the terms of the
Second Interim Award (the “Second Interim Award”) issued by the Arbitrator on
August 4, 2008, and will no longer be required to file a resale registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), for the Shares.
The
foregoing summary of the Award, and the transactions contemplated thereby, does
not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by,
the full text of the Award, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, the Merger
Agreement attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form
8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June

Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, Amendment No. 5 filed with the SEC
on February 10, 2009 (the “Proxy Statement”) and the Second Interim Award
attached as Appendix D to the Proxy Statement, and incorporated herein by
reference. Unless otherwise required by law, the Company disclaims any
obligation to release publicly any updates or any changes in its expectations or
any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any forward-looking
