staying on as a member of the Board. The Board has appointed Bengt Ågerup as the

With his specialist knowledge, Bengt Ågerup will have an Executive Chairman
role.

Anders Milton says "I think that it is natural that Bengt Ågerup as the
principal owner is the Chairman of the Board.  I will continue my work as a
member of the Board and try to contribute to Q-Med's high quality products
continuing to develop and reach even more women and men. Q-Med's products are
the gold standard of the industry. Together with our partners, doctors and
nurses we will make our products more accessible, both emotionally and
practically."

"Anders has done a fantastic job with the Board, which is a blend of the new and
the old, and it will be a great pleasure to lead it. Maria Carell will be an
excellent successor to me, full of energy and belief in the future. Q-Med faces
an exciting future full of strategic alternatives in great need of constructive
collaboration," says Bengt Ågerup.
