Tutogen Medical Closes $3.0 Million Private Placement

ALACHUA, Florida, June 30, 2006 (PRNewswire-FirstCall) – Tutogen Medical, Inc., (Amex: TTGNews), a leading manufacturer of sterile biological implant products made from human (allograft) and animal (xenograft) tissue, today announced that it has completed a $3 million private financing with an institutional accredited investor and that the American Stock Exchange (AMEX) has accepted the Company’s plan to regain compliance with AMEX’s listing standards by July 6, 2006.

Private Placement

In the private placement, Tutogen issued a $3.0 million convertible debenture and warrants to purchase up to 175,000 shares of its common stock. The debenture, which bears interest at the rate of 5.0% per year (payable quarterly in arrears), is due upon the earlier of 12 months from the date of issuance or upon a change in control of the Company, and is convertible into common stock at a price of $5.15 per share at any time at the election of the holder. The warrants are exercisable at a price of $5.15 per share at any time at the election of the holder until the earlier of the third anniversary of the date of issuance or upon a change in control of the Company. The $5.15 conversion and exercise prices represent a premium to the market price of Tutogen’s common stock on the day prior to closing.

AMEX Compliance Plan

As previously reported, due to Tutogen’s announced restatement of prior financial statements, Tutogen was unable to timely file its Form 10-Q (Quarterly Report) for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, and, accordingly, was not in compliance with the listing requirements of AMEX. AMEX has notified Tutogen that it has accepted Tutogen’s plan to be in compliance with the AMEX listing requirements, and has granted Tutogen until July 6, 2006, to timely file its Form 10-Q. Tutogen expects to file its Form 10-Q on or before July 6, 2006, and therefore regain compliance with the AMEX continued listing standards. The Company will be subject to periodic review by AMEX staff during the extension period.

As previously reported, the Company has engaged Lehman Brothers Inc. as its financial advisor in connection with the Schedule 13D filings by Zimmer Holdings, Inc. (Zimmer), on March 10, 2006 and May 12, 2006. The Company does not currently plan to comment on the status of such discussions with Zimmer or with any other parties unless and until, in its opinion, such appropriate disclosure is required or merited.
