QLT Inc. To Get $5M Milestone Payment
From Axcan Pharma

NEW YORK -- Axcan Pharma Inc. (AXCA) will pay QLT Inc. (QLTI) a
milestone payment of $5 million cash following approval from the Food
and Drug Administration for a diode laser for use in photodynamic therapy
with the drug Photofrin, which Axcan acquired from QLT in May.

In press release Monday, Axcan also said it signed a five-year exclusive
development and supply agreement for a new laser developed by Diomed
Inc., following the FDA's approval of the laser.
