Jena, 9 October 2015: Carl Zeiss Meditec (ISIN: DE0005313704) expects its
financial result to be burdened by an impairment of the investment in Oraya
Therapeutics Inc. of around EUR 20 million.
Oraya Therapeutics Inc. markets a radiotherapy for wet, age-related macular
degeneration ("wet AMD") in the United Kingdom, Germany and Switzerland.
Carl Zeiss Meditec has provided funds used for further expansion of the
business of Oraya Therapeutics Inc. under an agreement concluded in
December 2014. Progress has been made in commercializing the therapy during
the year. However, there has been a significant deviation from the original
business plan, so that an adjustment of the book value of the investment is
necessary.
The annual report for business year 2014/15 will be published on 16
December 2015.
