AxoGen, Inc. to Meet with Dr. Alejandro Toledo During United Nations Meeting

ALACHUA – July 13, 2015 – AxoGen, Inc. (NASDAQ: AXGN), a leading medical technology company dedicated to peripheral nerve repair, announced today that Co-Founder and Vice President John P. Engels will meet with Dr. Alejandro Toledo, former President of Peru and Director of the Global Center for Development and Democracy, on Monday, July 13th at the United Nations in New York City. During the private meeting, Mr. Engels and President Toledo will discuss strategic avenues to bring AxoGen’s portfolio of peripheral nerve solutions to Peru, providing for the first time options for Peruvian citizens with nerve injuries and damage.

“Peru is an amazing country with incredible economic potential and a lack of peripheral nerve repair solutions. We’re very honored and excited to have the opportunity to be collaborating with President Toledo to develop AxoGen’s entry into this exciting market.  This effort is part of our strategy to build the contribution of revenue from international markets,” stated Mr. Engels.

“In Latin America we are striving for a just, sustainable and prosperous but shared society.   A society that preserves its culture and beautiful people, but yet can transform to globalization and the world stage.   Economic growth combined with social improvement is our social accelerator, and economic stimulation through private sector partnership is a component to achieving this goal.” commented President Toledo.
