IsoTis Adjourns Special Meeting to October 23, 2007

Irvine, California (ots/PRNewswire)

IsoTis, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISOT)
("IsoTis"), an orthobiologics company, today announced that it has
adjourned the special meeting of stockholders it called to approve
the acquisition of IsoTis by Integra LifeSciences Holdings
Corporation (NASDAQ: IART) ("Integra") pursuant to an agreement and
plan of merger dated as of August 6, 2007.
The special meeting of stockholders was held at 9 a.m. Pacific
time today. An insufficient number of shares was present at the
meeting to establish the quorum necessary to approve the proposed
transaction. As a result, IsoTis determined to adjourn the meeting to
October 23, 2007 until 7.30 a.m. Pacific time to permit additional
time to collect the proxies necessary to establish a quorum and
approve the acquisition by Integra.
The vast majority of IsoTis' stockholder base resides outside the
United States of America, including thousands of retail stockholders,
and many of these shares have not been voted. The adjournment of the
meeting will provide these and other IsoTis stockholders additional
time to vote their shares.
The IsoTis Board of Directors continues to believe unanimously
that the interests of IsoTis' stockholders are best served by the
acquisition by Integra, and that there are no feasible alternatives
for the company and the stockholders.
If IsoTis is unable to obtain the vote necessary to approve
the proposed transaction, the company believes it will have to seek
bankruptcy protection.
About IsoTis
IsoTis is an orthobiologics company that develops, manufactures
and markets proprietary products for the treatment of musculoskeletal
diseases and disorders. IsoTis' current orthobiologics products are
bone graft substitutes that promote the regeneration of bone and are
used to repair natural, trauma-related and surgically-created defects
common in orthopedic procedures, including spinal fusions. IsoTis'
current commercial business is highlighted by its Accell line of
products, which the company believes represents the next generation
in bone graft substitution.
On August 7, 2007 Integra and IsoTis announced that they have
reached a definitive agreement to create a global orthobiologics
leader. The combination would create a comprehensive orthobiologics
portfolio, one of the largest sales organizations focused on
orthobiologics in the US, and multiple cross-selling opportunities.
The transaction is subject to approval of IsoTis' stockholders, as
well as other closing conditions and approvals. Upon closing, IsoTis
will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Integra and Integra will be
one of the largest companies in the world focused on advanced
technology in orthobiologics.
