NEWS RELEASE

Under the terms of the definitive co-development and commercialization agreement, RedHill has obtained certain exclusive worldwide rights to market and sell IntelGenx' rapidly dissolving anti-migraine oral film product. In exchange IntelGenx will receive upfront, milestone, and external development fees totalling up to $2.1 million from RedHill. RedHill will also be responsible for regulatory filing fees, if necessary. Furthermore, upon commercialization of the product, IntelGenx could receive, depending on the circumstance, up to 75% of all proceeds including, but not limited to, all sales milestones and income from the product world-wide.

Dr. Horst G. Zerbe, President and Chief Executive Officer of IntelGenx, stated: "We are pleased to be working with RedHill on our anti-migraine film product. This partnership helps validate and accelerate IntelGenx' VersaFilm™ technology, while providing IntelGenx with additional resources to meet our ongoing strategic objectives in developing additional oral film products."

Dror Ben-Asher, CEO of RedHill, stated: "We are delighted to have reached this deal with IntelGenx and are looking forward to a successful collaboration. We believe the anti-migraine film product based on IntelGenx' VersaFilm™ technology has significant potential and are committed to completing its development as quickly as possible."

In the fourth quarter of 2009 IntelGenx announced the results of a clinical pilot study that suggests IntelGenx has successfully developed a product that is bioequivalent to a leading branded anti-migraine therapy. The product has been developed using IntelGenx' proprietary immediate release film VersaFilm™ drug delivery technology. VersaFilm™ provides a patent-protected method of formulating in a convenient and discrete dosage form.
