Agendia Postpones its IPO Due to Unfavourable Market Conditions

Amsterdam and Irvine, California (ots/PRNewswire) -

- Not for release, distribution or publication in whole or in
part, directly or indirectly, into or in the United States,
Australia, Canada, OR Japan

Agendia (or the "Company"), a commercial-stage molecular cancer
diagnostics company, announces the postponement of its Initial Public
Offering ("IPO") that was due to price today. Agendia announced its
intention to float on 20 May 2011 and started its book building
process on 6 June 2011. The timetable has coincided with an
extraordinarily volatile period in global capital markets resulting
in high levels of uncertainty and volatility that do not meet the
existing shareholders' and the Company's desire to achieve a
successful IPO with an orderly aftermarket.

Commenting on this announcement, Bernhard Sixt, Agendia's Chief
Executive Officer, said: "We are pleased by the response we have
received from investors but current volatile and uncertain market
conditions do not allow us to launch the transaction and achieve a
smooth transition into the public markets. Agendia's product offering
is strong and our world-class team will continue to increase the pace
of commercial growth as a private company, supported by our existing
shareholders who are committed to the successful future growth of the
Company. We would like to thank both Dutch and international
investors who took the time to meet us and who showed great interest
in our company."

About Agendia

Agendia is a commercial-stage molecular diagnostic company
focused on the discovery, development and commercialisation of
genomic-based diagnostic products to improve the quality of life for
cancer patients by providing healthcare professionals with critical
information to enable safe and effective personalised treatment. The
Company's Symphony(TM) suite of four complementary breast cancer
tests, TargetPrint(R), MammaPrint(R), BluePrint(TM) and
TheraPrint(R), provides a comprehensive support system for
oncologists to determine whether a breast cancer patient is likely to
benefit from hormonal therapy, chemotherapy or targeted therapies,
saving patients from unnecessary treatments and lowering healthcare
costs. Agendia's lead test, MammaPrint(R), currently the only
molecular diagnostic breast cancer recurrence test to receive
clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration, gives physicians
a tool to clearly and decidedly separate "high" risk from "low" risk
recurrence in early stage breast cancer patients, thereby better
gauging the "high" risk patients' need for chemotherapy. Agendia is
advancing a pipeline of new products, which includes a further
extension of its breast cancer suite of tests as well as products for
colon cancer and lung cancer. The Company's research and development
activities are driven by its deep scientific roots and supported by
collaborations with leading academic consortia, cancer centres and
pharmaceutical companies.

Agendia was founded in 2003 as a spin-off of the Netherlands
Cancer Institute and is based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and
Irvine, California, United States. For more information, please visit
