1 Welcome to Althea Welcome to the future of integrated healthcare technology management Modern healthcare systems face a huge challenge: how to offer better care to more people at affordable cost. Technology is an essential part of the solution. It unlocks efficiencies, improves safety and, most importantly, provides better patient outcomes. But technology brings with it complexity, high capital cost and new risks. Increasingly, healthcare providers are looking for technology partners they can depend upon to manage and maintain their medical equipment. They need the freedom to focus on what they are best at - and what ultimately matters most - patient care. At the same time there is a sea-change underway in the industry as vendorindependent technology partners have matured and the benefits of their services are more widely recognised. Althea is at the forefront of this change. We offer integrated services focussed exclusively on the unique demands of technology in modern healthcare systems. By providing a single outsourced capability, we offer fast, efficient service across the entire

2 portfolio of medical equipment. Equipment must work when needed; by planning and minimising equipment service times, we help avoid disruption and breakdown. Althea is already the leading European provider. By bringing together experts from across the industry, we have created a breadth and quality of service that no other provider can match. From medical technology specialists to outsourcing experts we have built a new force in the market. But more than that, within Althea we share an ambitious entrepreneurial spirit and a deeply rooted commitment to improving healthcare services. From years of experience we know the priorities that drive the hundreds of hospitals, clinics and health centres we work with. Through our partnerships with them, we are committed to ensuring that they unlock the full potential of their investment in medical equipment. We have deep expertise in servicing that medical equipment too. Althea is now a leader in clinical engineering services, working across well-recognised brands, technologies and equipment classes: from biomedical test equipment, to endoscopy and surgical equipment, to the most sophisticated tier 1 diagnostic imaging equipment. Althea s depth of experience in finance, procurement, asset management, sourcing and maintenance means that we can also provide a fully managed service across the entire equipment lifecycle - from installation to disposal. By being independent, we are now breaking down the organisational barriers that get in the way of using technology more efficiently. Our ambition is to build Althea into the leading independent global service provider, not just defined by geographic presence, but by quality too. I speak for everyone at Althea when I say that we are excited about the journey ahead. We are committed to unlocking the potential of technology in healthcare. We believe that we can make a major contribution towards the goal we share with our clients better healthcare for more of mankind. Alessandro Dogliani Chief Executive Officer Althea Group
