SOMERSET, NJ, June 30, 2008 — Catalent Pharma Solutions, the leading provider of outsourced clinical and commercial packaging services to the global pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry, today announced that the company has entered into a joint marketing and collaboration agreement with One World Design and Manufacturing Group. Under the terms of the agreement, both parties will market One World’s NextBottle™ unit-dose compliance bottle to pharmaceutical manufacturers. One World will exclusively produce the injection molded device, with Catalent providing filling and packaging services. Catalent and One World will also collaborate on developing new packaging solutions, with a particular focus on improving patient compliance.

The NextBottle has received the 2007 Innovative Package of the Year Award by the Healthcare Compliance Packaging Council (HCPC). The NextBottle is specifically designed to improve patient compliance. Instead of loose pills in a bottle, the NextBottle has a dial mechanism that performs a critical dual function. It dispenses one pill at a time, and most importantly, automatically provides patients with a visual reminder of the “last day” that a pill was taken. This serves to minimize unintentional non-compliance, forgetfulness and confusion that many patients experience.

In announcing the agreement, Tracy Tsuetaki, Group President of Catalent’s Packaging Services segment, said “Helping manufacturers improve patient outcomes and address patient compliance is a key focus for Catalent. Early on we recognized the uniqueness of One World’s NextBottle in addressing this need. Additionally, we realized that pharmaceutical manufacturers would require a robust, cost-effective solution in order to adopt this approach. We are pleased to partner with One World and look forward to working with them.”

Matt Coe, One World’s Chief Operating Officer, said “Patient non-compliance is a huge issue in the pharmaceutical industry. When we designed the NextBottle, we wanted to make sure that we designed a package that would improve compliance, have a familiar look and feel, and be able to be filled very easily. We are excited to collaborate with Catalent and leverage their extensive contract packaging capabilities in order to make the NextBottle a success.”
