We are pleased with the results of our rights issue and particularly with the participation from existing shareholders. The issue proceeds in combination with our focus on cost management, will allow the Company to establish a profitable business over the coming years.

Henrik Olsen, acting CEO

We welcome Vestek to our European and Nordic network of partners, and we look forward with anticipation to the introduction of the Vigmed safety products to the Finnish market. This is a significant step to close the loop with all the Nordic markets and Vestek is an ideal partner for our future success in Finland.

Vigmed Sales Director, Mike Dooley

We are very excited about this cooperation with Vigmed. Vestek has supplied health care products to hospitals in Finland since 1979. This new distributorship is a major milestone for our company and it will remarkably strengthen the business in our Health Care Division. Our professional staff has extensive experience of promoting and selling similar type of products. Vigmed’s safety products are a great innovation for the health care field and we are confident they will be successful on the Finnish market, too.

Vestek Managing Director, Patrik Ulfves

The Company’s performance over the past year has been disappointing. We have identified several reasons for this and these have now been resolved. The delays which have occurred, have however, damaged confidence in the business and we must now speed up the sales of our products. By this change at management level, the board is convinced that we will achieve necessary focus and re-motivate both employees and distributors.

Chairman of the Board, Vigmed Holding AB, Lennart Holm

Of course we have a number of challenges ahead that will require both hard work and endurance, but I am confident we will succeed as we have built a solid base of high-quality products, knowledgeable and motivated employees as well as strong partnerships. It is my assessment that we have solved the initial teething problems that some of our products have had. I have great respect for the task, but at the same time I am full of energy and optimism.

CEO, Vigmed Holding AB, Henrik Olsen

We are very pleased to announce that from now Vigmed will be handling all supply chain operations ourselves. We have had a great start and the first orders have just been shipped.

Sales Director Mike Dooley

This move will enable us to continue growing our company and to better support the demands of our customers. The new warehouse is conveniently located in the south of Sweden, not far from our head office, which enables us to have close and regular contact with the facilities.

Supply Chain Director Elisabeth Andersson

We are obviously pleased with this order and the positive feedback we are receiving from the market. Short term, this will ensure that we deliver on our monthly sales forecast for October. Even if order levels are modest, we now see four consecutive months of increasing sales.

Finn Ketler, CEO

The initial uptake of SWiTCH indicates that our development team has successfully managed to connect different aspects of the user needs for such products.

Finn Ketler, CEO

I am very pleased to announce that Vigmed has been granted CE-approval for SWiTCH by the Notified Body Presafe – in time for our prelaunch campaign.

Vigmed Director of Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs, Ola Lindau

The launch of SWiTCH is a major milestone for Vigmed, as it offers our distributors a premium priced product range to complement their existing Vigmed portfolio, this enabling them to increase their focus and time offered to sales of Vigmed products.

CEO Finn Ketler

The interest in SWiTCH has been significant as it offers the first safety product of its kind, this is reflected in the fact that the first orders have already been received.

CEO Finn Ketler

This specially developed product has been eagerly awaited by Vigmed's partners and end-users, given it broadens the safety offering to the Critical Care and Anesthesia markets. The commercialization effort started four months ago, and having received the CE-mark, the pre-launch campaign is now being rolled out.

Vigmed Director of Sales and Marketing, Mike Dooley

This is the result of a successful partnership with CODAN DEHA and a great affirmation that our product and development procedures can deliver what we promise. This further strengthens our position in Denmark and confirms that we have the right platform to continue to see further success in other European markets.

Vigmed Sales Director, Mike Dooley

CLiP® Neo corresponds very well to the tender requirements for safety products and it got an excellent evaluation related to both product design and functionality in this particular tender. The fact that we can offer two sizes – both 24G and 26G – also played a part in winning the tender.

CODAN DEHA ApS Country Manager, Thomas Hornstrup

We welcome Hospithera to our expanding network of qualified and well renowned distributors, and we very much look forward to introducing our safety products to the Belgian market.

Vigmed Sales Director, Mike Dooley

Belgium is an important and rapidly growing market. I am confident that the synergy between our products and the high quality ones in the Hospithera range will ensure success for both companies.

Vigmed Sales Director, Mike Dooley

After a thorough market analysis, we noticed that Vigmed’s catheters were received enthusiastically by the Belgian market. The safety of health professionals remains a hot topic, now - and in the future. We see great potential for our cooperation with Vigmed.

Hospithera Interventional Care Division Manager, Jurgen Struylaart

This segment is very interesting for Vigmed’s product portfolio and future business development, and we have already developed functional prototypes of this new product category. We possess today a very solid and exciting innovation portfolio, however Vigmed is currently focusing on commercializing the products already launched and available today. We will therefore evaluate other business opportunities for this product segment.

Finn Ketler Vigmed CEO

It is currently difficult to foresee the immediate market up-take for this year, which is why we have decided not to give any new short-term sales forecast for 2015. The ongoing market launch of the CLiP product lines and the upcoming launch of SWiTCH allow us all however to look forward to the coming quarters with great confidence.

Finn Ketler, CEO Vigmed

Finn Ketler, CEO, Vigmed

We are very pleased to have reached this milestone, which will both increase penetration of Vigmed’s patented I. V. catheters in this particular region and offer Vigmed a steady income stream from royalty payments. Deliveries will start in smaller numbers as from April and are thereafter expected to increase continuously in the years to come.

We are very pleased with how well the CLiP products have been received in all markets and we feel very confident that ongoing product launches will continue to be successful.

Finn Ketler, CEO, Vigmed

It is not totally satisfactory that revenue is somewhat lower than expected at the end of 2014, but in the early stages of a start-up it is difficult to predict the time frame of setting up with distributors as well as predicting when product launches will fit into distributor’s training and sales processes which determine how fast products can be launched on respective markets. However, I anticipate that this will stabilize gradually within the coming years.

Finn Ketler, CEO, Vigmed

We are extremely pleased to welcome one of the companies within the strong Mediq group to our family of distributors in Europe.

Mike Dooley, Vigmed Sales Director, Europe

Mediq Suisse is a growing company and we are very much looking forward to assist this growth by offering quality products which fit with their goals of bringing safer products to the Swiss healthcare market.

Mike Dooley, Vigmed Sales Director, Europe

I am confident that this is the start of a prosperous business relationship. Our qualified team here in Switzerland is keen to start promoting these products in 2015, and we look forward to helping to reduce needlestick injuries in the country with the safety innovations Vigmed is providing.

Ralph Schönbächler, CEO Mediq Suisse

This is a very significant milestone for Vigmed as Germany represents one of the most important markets worldwide for us.

Vigmed CEO, Finn Ketler

We have good relations with the opinion leaders and decision makers in the Austrian market following years of delivering high quality products and services.

It is with great pleasure and anticipation that we now can start selling the innovative products from Vigmed, and with this cooperation we look forward to developing our infusion therapy offering even more in the coming years.

Jürgen Preuer, Country Manager CODAN Medical

The fact that Vigmed’s rights issue was oversubscribed demonstrates the strong belief and expectations on the Company and its future development. Through this successful rights issue, Vigmed has guaranteed the required capital to enter the next phase – the commercialisation phase - where Vigmed will continuously and rapidly establish distribution channels in several new markets. It is with great confidence I look forward to a continuing strong development and expansion during 2015.

Lennart Holm, Chairman of the Board, Vigmed Holding AB

We welcome CODAN France to our expanding cooperation within the CODAN family and we very much look forward to introducing our needle protected products to the important French market.

These products fit the CODAN image and strategy of offering an expanded range of high-end products to our customers.

CODAN France Country Manager, Laurent Sigrist

We have high expectations for the Vigmed products, given their fit with our current product range.

CODAN France Country Manager, Laurent Sigrist

Adding another of the large European countries to our network, is an important milestone for us and vital to Vigmed’s success.

Vigmed CEO, Finn Ketler

This is a major milestone for both our company and for medical staff around the world. The launch of this product comes at a timely moment with the focus on current Ebola-crisis in mind.

Vigmed CEO Finn Ketler

We strive to make the workplace of medical staff a safer place, and offering this safety device to the market will further contribute to this effort, as well as adding safety to one of the most common medical procedures in the world.

Vigmed CEO Finn Ketler

Our distributors can now start introducing this line to their markets and we are confident the products will be positively received by both our customers and end users.

Vigmed Sales Director Europe, Mike Dooley

Vigmed CEO Finn Ketler

Device Technologies has substantial experience of this particular geographical market, specific experience of the infusion therapy market and excellent reputation for quality sales and support. The fact that they have chosen our safety products over other manufacturers’ gives us great confidence when entering these markets.

Vigmed Sales Director Mike Dooley

The Vigmed products offer us a quality, cost effective and competitive solution to the issue of needlestick injuries and healthcare workers safety.

Ruth Roberts, Device Technologies Business Development Manager

This cooperation fits well with our aim to enable superior health outcomes for patients, by providing them with access to the best medical systems available worldwide.

Ruth Roberts, Device Technologies Business Development Manager

The Arterial catheter market is smaller than the one for I.V. catheters, but as it is a premium priced market with less competition, we expect our new product to contribute with earnings rather fast.

Finn Ketler, CEO, Vigmed

It should also be noted, that when launching the new product, our European distribution network will be in place and given the market demand, our partners are welcoming this new opportunity.

Finn Ketler, CEO, Vigmed

Vigmed’s arterial catheter is a perfect project for us as a provider of complex medical devices.
