CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT
Shareholders are advised that the Company is in advanced negotiations to acquire a medical devices
business (“the Proposed Acquisition”). The Proposed Acquisition is intended to become an essential
part of the group’s Pharma-Med Division. This business has key agencies for surgical and other
medical equipment which positions Ascendis well to service hospitals, clinics and government tenders.
Key contributions of the Proposed Acquisition include:
• the importation and distribution of specialist medical devices focused on the areas of general
surgery, gynaecology, urology, ear, nose and throat, cardiology and radiology; and
• the marketing of devices in a South African agent function, on an exclusive basis, for international
brands of high value-add, niche consumable medical devices.
If the Proposed Acquisition is successfully concluded it may have a material effect on the price of the
Company’s securities. Accordingly, shareholders are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the
Company’s securities until a full announcement is made.
