January-December 2021
CEO Statement
The hope that healthcare could look to the time after the pandemic, including the necessary innovation work needed, were once again sharply shaken when the Omicron variant created a new wave in the last quarter of 2021 . We are therefore extra proud of what we have managed to achieve despite these external challenges. The collaboration with pharmaceutical companies USB and Amgen breaks new grounds for us as a business and shows that FRISQ Care can add value in many different business segments. The three-year agreement with Capio Orthopedics after a successful pilot project together with them really shows that we have a solution that creates value worth paying for. The pilot project with Aleris to improve maternity care has gained medial awareness in the industry, which underlines both the relevance and the level of innovation the project brings.
Our financial situation made us investigate different alternatives to ensure both a stable foundation and an opportunity to accelerate and grow our business. At the EGM on February 22nd, the shareholders voted in favor of a sale of FRISQ Holding's subsidiaries to Tempest SPV Ltd, subject to the conditions that the purchase price was not changed (SEK 106.4 million), the share purchase agreement (SPA) took place on market terms and that signing would take place no later than February 28th 2022. Due to a serious illness, the buyer requested a deferral of submitting a signed and binding SPA, which the Board approved. The Board will convene a new EGM to approve the divestment, provided that there is a signed SPA. Tempest SPV Ltd has undertaken to provide the subsidiaries with SEK 120 million in working capital after a completed acquisition, which would constitute a good financial base for our operations going forward. A sale would mean that FRISQ Holding no longer will have any operating activities as a listed company. In its further evaluation, the Board of FRISQ is considering various alternatives for creating value for shareholders in such a scenario, while they also continue to investigate options to secure the long-term financing. The company has a credit facility of 15 mSEK that will cover the operational cash flow until the 31st of May 2022, unless the sale of the subsidiaries or a new long-term financing is in place before that.
