CEO statement.
The great news from Q3 was the Actiste device receiving the EC certifications (CE-marks) we have worked so hard towards. We can now move forward with the other activities related to commercialising Actiste Diabetes Management as a Service. This crucial development substantially reduces Brighter's risk profile.
We enter our commercialisation phase with an improved balance sheet, thanks to the directed share issue of SEK 35.4 million we carried out in early September. Brighter's balance sheet is now completely cleared of interest-bearing loans.
In Q3, we signed a letter of intent to acquire all the shares in a subsidiary of Camanio Care AB (publ). We completed the acquisition in mid-October, creating the new standalone subsidiary Camanio AB. In connection to the acquisition, Brighter also sold all its shares in Camanio Care AB (publ). From a financial accounting perspective, Camanio AB will be integrated into the Brighter Group, and all our ties to Camanio Care AB (publ) will cease to exist. As part of the transaction, Camanio Care AB (publ) has changed its objective and will change its name, in order not to be confused with Camanio AB.
Our team in the United Arab Emirates - led by Kristian Sandberg - continues to work on commercializing Actiste Diabetes Management as a Service. Now that the Actiste device has received EC certifications, we are moving ahead with the local registration procedures. As a precursor to this, we officially launched Actiste Diabetes Management as a Service at the GITEX Technology Week in Dubai in early October.
Our regional strategy for launching Actiste remains as previously communicated: first the UAE and Sweden, and then Gulf Cooperation Council countries and Southeast Asia. Our original patent, used for developing Actiste, has now also been granted in Brazil. Although local approval of patents is not a prerequisite for entering a specific market, it increases the overall value of Brighter's IP portfolio.
We look forward to an exciting period ahead.
Best wishes,
Henrik Norström, CEO of Brighter AB.
