XPS™ facilitates the use of STEEN Solution™. Announcement regarding CE marking is expected during the first quarter of 2014. · Dr. Joel Cooper was appointed Medical Advisor for XVIVO Perfusion. Dr. Joel Cooper, pioneer in lung transplant surgery, will support the company's clinical development. · A lawsuit was filed against Vivoline on October 11, 2013 in order to safeguard XVIVO Perfusion’s rights to patents for three products invented by Professor Stig Steen.

The lungs were transplanted into patients in need, and the results were at least as good as for lungs initially deemed acceptable. · XVIVO Perfusion entered into an agreement and began preparations for the relocation of contract manufacturing of STEEN Solution™ during the year. This initially involved a non-recurring cost of SEK 0.6 million during the year, but within one year it will result in improved gross margin on the product. STEEN Solution™ in the United States · The company had a meeting with the FDA at which it was decided that an advisory committee meeting will be held during the first quarter of 2014.

The FDA decided that the clinics participating in the study may continue to transplant lungs perfused with STEEN Solution™ and that the trial may be expanded with new centers. Interest in STEEN Solution™, the company’s XPS™ and participation in the NOVEL study continues to be strong. · The American NOVEL study expanded to nine centers during the year. · Unique collaboration between Michigan’s OPO** and three transplant centers initiated in XVIVO Perfusion’s US clinical trial.
