About EKF Diagnostics Holdings plc - www.ekfdiagnostics.com
EKF Diagnostics Holdings plc was formed in July 2010 following
the acquisition of EKF-diagnostic GmbH for EUR14.32m and refocused

Glucose, Lactate, Haemoglobin, Haematocrit and HbA1c.
In March 2011 EKF entered into a distribution agreement with
Alere Inc ("Alere"), a global diagnostics company, under which
Alere was appointed the exclusive distributor of EKF's CLIA waived
Hemo Control device and cuvettes in the US, Canada and United
Kingdom. The device is distributed in the US under the name
HemoPoint H2.
In March 2014, EKF acquired Separation Technology, Inc., a
