The board of directors withdraws the proposal regarding a rights issue

As previously communicated, Greiner Bio-One GmbH ("GBO") owns more than 90 percent of the shares in Vigmed Holding AB (publ) ("Vigmed") and has requested compulsory redemption of the remaining shares in Vigmed.

GBO has informed Vigmed that GBO ­ in view of GBO's initiation of compulsory redemption of the minority shares in Vigmed ­ considers that the new share issue with preferential right for the company's shareholders proposed by the board of directors of Vigmed is no longer appropriate and that GBO will not vote in favor of the right issue at the contemplated extraordinary general meeting in Vigmed.

The board of directors of Vigmed concludes that the rights issue lacks sufficient support among the company's shareholders and has therefore resolved to withdraw its proposal regarding the rights issue.
