applicable, an “Indemnifying Person”) with respect to Losses resulting from the assertion of Liability by third parties, including any assertion by a Governmental Authority or commencement of a Legal Proceeding which may lead to such an assertion (each, a “Third-Party Claim”), will be subject to the following provisions:
(a) The Sellers or Buyer to whom the indemnification obligation is owed (as applicable, an “Indemnified Person”) promptly will give written notice to the Indemnifying Person of any Third-Party Claim that might give rise to any Loss by the Indemnified Person, stating the basis and nature of such Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, and the amount thereof to the extent known; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Person in notifying any Indemnifying Person will relieve the Indemnifying Person from any duty, Liability or obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent that) the Indemnifying Person thereby is prejudiced by the delay. Such written notice will be accompanied by copies of all relevant documentation with respect to such Third-Party Claim, including any complaint, summons or other pleading that may have been served, any written demand or any other document or instrument.
(b) If Buyer is the Indemnifying Person, it will have the right to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at its own expense and by its own counsel, which counsel will be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. If Buyer exercises its right to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim pursuant to the provisions contained in this Section 7.3, (i) Buyer will not be responsible for any legal or other defense costs, expenses and fees subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof, (ii) the Indemnified Person will be entitled to participate in such defense with its own counsel at its own expense and (iii) Buyer will not make any settlement of any claims without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent will not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld, unless such settlement (A) fully releases the Indemnified Person and (B) involves only the payment of monetary damages for which the Indemnified Person would be entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE 7 for the full amount of such Losses.

Exhibit 99.1
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
July 12, 2021
INTERNATIONAL ISOTOPES INC. ANNOUNCES IT HAS
ACQUIRED FULL OWNERSHIP OF RADQUAL LLC
IDAHO FALLS, IDAHO, July 12, 2021. International Isotopes Inc. (OTCQB: INIS) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has acquired the remaining 75% of all outstanding units of RadQual LLC (“RadQual”) from a group of affiliates of the Company, including the current Chairman of the Board, the former Chairman of the Board, and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
In August 2017, this group of sellers acquired all of the units of RadQual not already held by INIS. Following that purchase, INIS was voted by the new members as a manager of RadQual and has been responsible for oversight of all business activities and management of RadQual since that time. With this most recent acquisition, INIS will now own 100% of all outstanding units of RadQual, making RadQual a wholly-owned subsidiary of INIS.
RadQual is the premier global developer of quality control products for the nuclear medicine industry, focused principally on SPECT and PET imaging. From RadQual ’s inception in 2001, INIS has been the sole contract manufacturer of all RadQual products. Since the August 2017 acquisition, INIS has also taken the lead in all new product development. RadQual’s new product development efforts have recently been gaining momentum. In 2021, RadQual announced the launch of many new products, including a Symbia source used for Auto QC, a Spectrum dynamics D-SPECT QC line source, germanium transmission rods, and Ge-68 volumetric registration cylinders for certain PET imaging systems. Several additional products are in advanced development and are expected to be submitted for regulatory approval later this year.
Steve T. Laflin, President and CEO of INIS, commented, “INIS has always been the sole manufacturer and distributor of RadQual products so customers will see no changes in the high quality products and excellent customer service they have grown to expect. This acquisition should significantly increase INIS total shareholder equity, and significantly improve the net profit margin of INIS. The RadQual purchase price, which is being for entirely in common shares in INIS, is only
approximately eight times this year’s projected earnings, so we expect the transaction to be immediately accretive to INIS shareholders. These improvements are expected to increase Company value to our shareholders by putting INIS in a position to qualify for listing of our shares on a major exchange in the future.”
About International Isotopes Inc.
