Hansa Medical publishes the Annual Report for 2016

The Auditor’s report contains a remark that the company has failed on several occasions to perform its obligations to make timely payments of taxes and fees. At the end of the fiscal year there was no deficit on the tax account.

Authorized Public Accountants, Dan Kjellqvist and Jonas Nihlberg, in Hansa Medical AB, recommend to the general meeting of shareholders that the members of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director be discharged from liability for the past financial year.

In 2016, procedures for paying taxes and fees have been handled by an external accounting firm and the procedures have been inadequate. From 2017, these routines will be managed internally in the company to prevent the error from occurring again.

Hansa Medical's Annual Report for 2016 is now available on the company’s website, www.hansamedical.com.

The Annual Report is posted to shareholders and other stakeholders who specifically request it. For further information please contact the company by telephone +46 46-16 56 70 or e-mail info@hansamedical.com.
