Item 8.01 – Other Events

 

Perma-Fix Medical

 

On July 20, 2017, Perma-Fix Medical S.A. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Perma-Fix Medical Corporation, (together known as “PF Medical”), which is the majority-owned Polish subsidiary of Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc. (the “Company”), provided notification to a potential investor of its intent to seek funding for PF Medical’s research and development (“R&D”) of its licensed medical isotope production technology from alternative sources. As previously disclosed, PF Medical had previously entered into a letter of intent (“LOI”) with the potential investor to provide funding for the R&D of its licensed medical isotope production technology. Although the LOI and any agreement that the Company and PF Medical had with the potential investor not to seek funding from other sources had expired, the parties continued to negotiate a definitive agreement. Due to the potential funding transaction not closing several months after completion of the negotiations of the definitive agreement, PF Medical will proceed with seeking the funding from alternative sources.
