OneOncology Crosses $2 Billion Threshold, Aggregates Demand From Community Oncology Practices Across the Country

ORLANDO, Fla. (May 22, 2008) � OneOncology Inc., a privately-held company working to create a transparent and open market for purchasing oncology drugs, today announced it has secured more than $2 billion in annual drug purchasing commitments from oncology practices across the United States. More than 750 oncology physicians have registered with OneOncology's web-based system to simplify their drug purchasing.

"The fact that we have gone from company launch to $2 billion in drug purchasing commitments in less than three quarters is a tangible symbol of the pressing need in community oncology for transparent pricing, competitive access, transformation and simplicity in the oncology supply chain," said Steven Kirchof, Chief Executive Officer of OneOncology. "Community practices are looking for solutions to help them stay in business and treat patients, and OneOncology is committed to helping unite the market and improve the system."

In addition to benefits for oncology practices, OneOncology is creating new opportunities for suppliers and manufacturers to participate in the oncology business arena.

"Oncology is arguably one of the fastest growing segments in healthcare, with more than 750 new drugs in the development pipeline," said Ben Favret, Vice President of OneOncology. "We are aggregating demand so that both current suppliers of oncology drugs and new entrants to the oncology distribution and group purchasing market can have efficient and transparent access to significant volume."

OneOncology is currently in discussions with a wide range of suppliers, manufacturers, independent group purchasing organizations, and others that are evaluating how to integrate electronic technology into a seamless automated process for price negotiation, ordering and fulfillment.

"There is a tremendous opportunity for a wide range of companies to gain access to the oncology marketplace by taking advantage of web-based technology," said Favret.

There is no cost for oncology practices or suppliers to join OneOncology and registration is completely confidential. Additional information can be found at www.OneOncology.com.
