New Value AG realizes an exit. Baar, September 05, 2012 - Swiss Medical Solution AG (SMS) has been sold entirely to the Swedish company Svenska Cellulosa Aktiebolaget (SCA). SCA is a global hygiene and forest company that develops and produces personal care products, tissue and forest products. Sales are conducted in some 100 countries. SCA has many well-known brands, including the global brands TENA and Tork. The sale to SCA gives SMS the possibility to be integrated into a global company. SCA will concentrate on the diagnostic products integrated in diapers for the application area of early detection of urinary tract infections. Commercialisation of the in-vitro diagnostic product U-Lab(R), that can be used directly by patients as a self-test, has been licensed to a new company owned by the former shareholders of SMS. New Value AG holds a pro-rata interest in the new company. The sale of SMS is concluded at the valuation reflected in the net asset value and this transaction has therefore no impact on the NAV. With the proceeds from the exit, New Value AG can redeem its entire bank debt and thus the liquidity situation of the company is stabilized. An important step of the financial restructuring has been conducted. Future activities of New Value will focus on the development and value maximization of the portfolio companies.
