Bridgewater, New Jersey, May 7, 2010 (Business Wire) – CorMedix Inc. (“CorMedix”) (NYSE Amex: CRMD.U), a pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing therapeutic products for the treatment of cardiorenal disease, today announced that the units issued in CorMedix’s recent initial public offering will separate on May 13, 2010 instead of the currently scheduled separation date of May 23, 2010 following the determination by Maxim Group LLC, the representative of the underwriters of CorMedix’s initial public offering, that the earlier separation date is acceptable.
