Clinically-Proven Therapy Prevents Chemo-Related Hair Loss with Greater Comfort
and Precision

~ Glasgow Residents Now Have Access to New State-of-the-Art Cancer Care Therapy

LONDON (March 19, 2013)—The DigniCap™ System, considered to be the most
scientifically-advanced scalp-cooling treatment available for reducing
chemotherapy-related hair loss in men and women today, has been chosen by BMI
Ross Hall Hospital in Glasgow as its preferred hair-loss treatment option for
use in its oncology practice. Available now for patients in Glasgow and
surrounding communities, DigniCap is the only system to offer scalp-cooling
above freezing with patented, built-in temperature sensors and a precision
cooling mechanism that allows for gradual and highly tolerable scalp temperature
fluctuations.

The DigniCap™ System, developed by Dignitana, a world leader in scalp-cooling
technology, is a safe, gentle and effective treatment for avoiding hair loss
related to chemotherapy. The system continuously monitors temperature to ensure
comfort and consistent application of the treatment. Caps are specifically
designed so that the ears remain uncovered for added comfort and normal hearing
during the process, and the user-friendly system features an intuitive, touch
-screen control panel.

As the largest private hospital in Glasgow, BMI Ross Hall serves residents from
the south side of Glasgow, across the UK and abroad. Oncologists at BMI Ross
Hall chose to offer the DigniCap ™ System based on its superior tolerability and
efficacy, noting that DigniCap is the first scalp cooling system that can be
offered with clinical evidence, confidence and consistent results at
temperatures above freezing, which makes for a less stressful and much more
comfortable patient experience.

Clinical results show that eight out of ten women in Europe and Asia who used
the DigniCap™ System during chemotherapy retained their hair. Additional trials
at leading medical centers around the world have proven the system to be a
viable alternative for both women and men of diverse ethnicities. Further
clinical results from investigations of the efficacy of scalp cooling with the
DigniCap™ System in both the U.S. and the U.K. will be presented at medical
conferences and in publications throughout 2013.

“BMI Ross Hall Hospital is known throughout Scotland and the UK for its clinical
excellence, state-of-the-art medical innovation and truly compassionate care,”
said Martin Waleij, CEO of Dignitana, maker of the DigniCap™ System. “We are
proud they have chosen to offer their patients the DigniCap™ System—it is an
honour to be able to add BMI Ross Hall in Glasgow to the growing list of top
medical establishments around the world that include the DigniCap™ System in
their comprehensive approach to cancer care.”

Martin Waleij further comments the development of the UK market:

“The order is an initial reference order but we do have have three of the five
largest private healthcare providers as customers and partners. Our aim is to be
a key supplier for the five largest private groups in parallel with becoming a
major contributor of scalp cooling to cancer patients with the public National
Health Service where we currently is working on a mutually beneficial financial
set up for both Dignitana and the NHS trusts”
