LOUISVILLE, CO – November 10, 2014 – AntriaBio, Inc. (OTCQB: ANTB) a biopharmaceutical corporation focused on developing novel extended release therapies, announced today that it has successfully extinguished $44 million of contingent milestone payments owed by AntriaBio to the bankruptcy estate of PR Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

AntriaBio acquired the operating assets of the Estate in 2013 for an upfront payment and an obligation to make contingent milestone payments.

Nevan Elam, AntriaBio’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are thrilled to have eliminated this significant contingent liability as we prepare to advance our lead product candidate, AB101, into clinical development. We believe the removal of the $44 million obligation immediately increases shareholder equity in a meaningful way.”
