At the Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting of LifeWatch AG held on November 11,
2010, shareholders approved the motion of the Board of Directors to reduce the
company´s share capital by means of a par value repayment to shareholders. The
ordinary share capital is to be reduced by a par value reduction (from CHF 2.00
to CHF 1.30) from CHF 26,205,296.00 (as per November 10, 2010) to CHF
16,926,638.30. The reduced amount of CHF 0.70 per registered share will be paid
out to the shareholders. The special audit report pursuant to Art. 732 of the
Swiss Code of Obligations confirmed that all creditor claims will be fully
covered following the capital reduction.

On November 18, 19 and 22, 2010 the Company published the required public
creditor calls in the Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce. After a two-months
waiting period during which creditors could file their claims for security
expired on January 24, 2011, no securing demands from creditors were recorded
by the Company. Consequently, all conditions for a record in the commercial
register have been fulfilled and a notarized official record was entered on
January 31, 2011.

Effective February 8, 2011 ("ex-day"), LifeWatch AG shares will begin trading
on SIX Swiss Exchange with the new par value. On February 11, 2011 the par
value repayment will take place to all individual and legal persons that were
shareholders of the company on the day prior to the ex-day (i.e. February 7,
2011). The payment to the shareholders will happen automatically via their
depositary banks and is not subject to withholding tax and, for private
residents in Switzerland, not subject to income tax.
