European approval of INTERCEPT Blood System for plasma triggered the award.

Cerus received a $5-million cash milestone payment from BioOne triggered by the CE mark regulatory approval for its INTERCEPT Blood System for plasma in Europe. The agreements between Cerus and BioOne provide for milestone payments to Cerus as well as royalties based on sales of the INTERCEPT Blood System for platelets and plasma.
