UPDATE 1-Noveko says to explore all options for Bolduc unit

* Says Bolduc Leroux share sale deal not to close

* Gets more time from U.S. FDA to give surgical mask data

* Shares fall 15 pct

July 8 (Reuters) - Canadian medical equipment maker Noveko International Inc (EKO.TO) said it is considering all possible options for its Bolduc Leroux Inc unit and that the U.S. health regulators granted it more time to submit remaining data on its antibacterial surgical mask.

The move on Bolduc unit comes after the company failed to complete a deal to sell Bolduc shares to a firm held by two top executives of Bolduc.

Noveko said the offerors were unable to meet the conditions necessary to the closing of the transaction and they also missed a number of opportunities granted by it to close the deal.

Bolduc supplies extraction tables for pharmaceutical and other industries, and makes cutting and welding equipment for steel products.

On its antibacterial surgical mask, Noveko said it now has until Oct. 23 to submit the requested remaining data to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Shares of the company, which have risen four fold in value from their 52-week low of 46 Canadian cents in December last, were down 15 percent at C$1.61 in morning trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange. (Reporting by Isheeta Sanghi in Bangalore; Editing by Gopakumar Warrier)
