International Distribution Agreement

On April 27, 2006, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Conor Medsystems Ireland Limited (“Conor Ireland”) entered into an International Distribution Agreement (the “New Distribution Agreement’) with Interventional Technologies Limited (“IVT”). The New Distribution Agreement supersedes in its entirety the International Distribution Agreement entered into between Conor Ireland and IVT on July 1, 2004 (the “Prior Distribution Agreement”).

Under the terms of the New Distribution Agreement, IVT is the exclusive distributor of the Company’s CoStar™ coronary stent system in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Kenya and Tanzania. Within this territory, IVT will be responsible for promoting, marketing and selling this stent. In addition, IVT agreed to purchase from Conor Ireland units of its CoStar coronary stent system at a fixed, per-unit price and certain quarterly minimum amounts. Conor Ireland also agreed to pay to IVT up to a specified amount for certain fees, costs and expenses related to or derived from conducting clinical trials, studies or registries. Absent early termination for the reasons set forth below, the New Distribution Agreement will continue in force until December 31, 2008 and can be renewed for additional one year terms, subject to the mutual written agreement of the parties. Either party may terminate the New Distribution Agreement if the other party commits an uncured material breach of the agreement or if the other party becomes insolvent or files for bankruptcy. In addition, Conor Ireland can terminate the New Distribution Agreement at any time, subject to advance written notice to IVT, and Conor Ireland can terminate the New Distribution Agreement immediately if IVT undergoes a change of control event.

The foregoing description of the New Distribution Agreement is a summary of the material terms of the New Distribution Agreement and does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the New Distribution Agreement which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ending June 30, 2006.

Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

As described under Item 1.01 above, the Prior Distribution Agreement was terminated in connection with the effectiveness of the New Distribution Agreement. Under the terms of the Prior Distribution Agreement, IVT acted as the exclusive distributor of the Company’s bare cobalt chromium stent and its CoStar coronary stent system in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Kenya and Tanzania. Within this territory, IVT was under the Prior Distribution Agreement responsible for promoting, marketing and selling these stents. Under the Prior Distribution Agreement, IVT purchased stents from Conor Ireland at a fixed, per-unit price. The foregoing description of the Prior Distribution Agreement is a summary of the material terms of the Prior Distribution Agreement and does not purport to be complete, and is qualified

in its entirety by reference to the Prior Distribution Agreement which was filed as Exhibit 10.25 to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-119174), filed with the SEC on September 22, 2004, as amended.

Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On May 1, 2006, the Company issued a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report and is incorporated herein by reference.
