Item. 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On June 11, 2013, Natural Molecular Testing Corporation (“NMTC”) and Luminex Corporation (“Luminex”) announced a partnership in connection with the launch by NMTC of its laboratory developed comprehensive Personalized Medicine Panel, comprised of 42 targets and built using Luminex’s technology.

This announcement has negatively affected the stock price of GenMark Diagnostics, Inc. (the “Company”). While the Company has not received notice from NMTC with respect to the Company’s agreement with NMTC and the agreement remains intact, the Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of this announcement on its relationship with NMTC and the associated business. The Company expects to file a current report on Form 8-K once this evaluation is complete.
