AngioDynamics Mourns Loss of Co-Founder, Director Howard S. Stern.

QUEENSBURY, N.Y. -- AngioDynamics, Inc. (Nasdaq:ANGO) regrets to announce that Howard S. Stern, its co-founder, former chairman of the board of directors, and current director has passed away at the age of 74 after losing his battle with brain cancer.

Mr. Stern co-founded AngioDynamics in 1988 as a division of E-Z-EM, Inc. (Nasdaq:EZEM). He served as a director of the Company since its inception until his death, and was chairman of the board of directors from the Company's inception until February 2004.

Eamonn P. Hobbs, president and chief executive officer of AngioDynamics, commented, "We have lost a remarkable man. Howard's insight into the possibilities for the treatment of peripheral vascular disease has made a difference in the lives of patients, and in the physicians who treat them. He was instrumental in guiding AngioDynamics from a development stage company to its present position as a publicly-traded leader in innovative products for the PVD marketplace. We will miss Howard dearly and extend our deepest sympathies to his family."
