Message from the CEO
It has been an eventful year that has passed and many things have happened. In the information memorandum (in Swedish only) published we elaborate further of what has happened during the year, so this year's message from the CEO is a little shorter than usual.
Personally I find the reception of Brighter One™ at Medica to be one of the year's main highlights, as it clearly confirms that what we are doing is absolutely right. During the third quarter the focus lied in great part in the more expansive pre-launch process and preparing for the move to NASDAQ OMX First North. It is rewarding to be able to offer all our shareholders to participate on equal terms in our effort forward.
Just like last year, I would like to end by sending a thank you to all our shareholders and although we are not always able, or allowed, to answer all your questions I ask you to continue sending us your tips, comments and recommendations.
