Corporate news announcement processed and transmitted by Hugin ASA. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- All resolutions approved Shareholders at BB MEDTECH's 14th annual general meeting approved all resolutions submitted by the Board of Directors. Heino von Prondzynski will assume the position of Chairman from Dr. Ernst Thomke. All three directors - Dr. Ernst Thomke, Heino von Prondzynski and Wolfgang Reim - were reelected to the board. We thank Dr. Thomke for his great dedication and support during his years of service as Chairman of the Board of Directors. BB MEDTECH will initiate a third share buyback program. A second trading line for BB MEDTECH registered shares will be opened on SWX Swiss Exchange for this specific purpose. The company intends to repurchase and cancel up to 1.45 million of its registered shares, which corresponds to 10% of total share capital. The proposed reduction in the number of outstanding registered shares will increase earnings per share and should also reduce the discount between the market price and the reported net asset value. The terms and conditions of the share repurchase program will be published in major newspapers and on the company's website (bbmedtech.com) on April 7, 2008. The dividend of CHF 0.80 per share will be paid out on April 7, 2008 before the start of trading. The shares will trade ex-dividend on this day. The bearer shares will be converted into registered shares, previously on April 22, 2008.
