Significant events during the third quarter

Vigmed has continued to work closely with distributors to ensure the success of ongoing and future tenders.

The ongoing work with the application for registration of Vigmed's products in China, where the market for needlestick-protected products is growing strongly, has accelerated during the quarter.

The Group's focus on cost reduction and cost control continues to result in improved operating result and cash flow.

The ongoing discussion with the manufacturer of the SWiNG product line, which has been considered an uncertainty factor for the Group, was terminated in July 2016 after a common solution was reached. The outcome regarding SWiNG Universal is in line with the assessment made in the Annual Report for 2015. The agreement also included that Vigmed acquires the packing equipment for manufacturing SWiNG Clic-on and, on 31 December 2016 amortise the remaining debt for SWiNG Clic-on tools and terminate co-operation with the contract manufacturer.
