CEO Statement
After an extensive evaluation of the best options to secure FRISQs long-term economic stability and a broader introduction of individualized, interactive care plans that create value for both patients and healthcare staff in Sweden, the board of FRISQ Holding AB has accepted an offer to divest the operational business (in practice the subsidiary FRISQ AB) to Cambio Healthcare System AB (Cambio). The offer is divided into a purchase price of SEK 31 million upon closing and an additional purchase price of SEK 9 million within a 6-month period. The outstanding loans from Cambio of SEK 9 million will be deducted from the initial purchase price. The closing of Cambio's purchase is planned for December 1, 2022. From November 1, 2022 and until the closing of the transaction takes place, Cambio will assume the financial responsibility for FRISQ AB's operational business.
After completion of the transaction, FRISQ Holding's board of directors intends to acquire a new business with high potential to create good value for the shareholders that can replace FRISQ's current operational activities.
During the third quarter, the interest in FRISQ Care has increased significantly and it’s clear that many care providers are starting to look ahead again after the long period of strong covid focus. Both public and private healthcare providers have once again begun to request demonstrations of FRISQ Care and discussions to better understand how the system can create improvements for both healthcare staff and patients.
During the quarter, Capio Elderly and Mobile Care signed a new 4-year agreement to continue the successful, broad introduction of FRISQ Care in new care units.
With Cambio as the owner of FRISQ AB, I am convinced that FRISQ Care will reach public healthcare significantly faster and better and thereby contribute to fundamentally improving healthcare delivery, both in Sweden and abroad. I look forward to following this development in the coming years.
