GenesisCare continues to expand Spanishcancer services with Elekta

STOCKHOLM, October 25, 2016 – Elekta (EKTA-B.ST) announces that GenesisCare will
acquire Versa HD™ (http://www.elekta.com/versahd) linear accelerators to help
fulfil its ambition to improve cancer care for patients in Spain. The deal also
includes Elekta’s MOSAIQ® (https://www.elekta.com/mosaiq) oncology information
system to optimize the clinical care and operational efficiency of GenesisCare
in Spain.
Francois Pointurier, Elekta’s Senior Vice President Region EMEA, says: “Although
we have seen an increase in the incidence of cancer in Spain, the number of
cancer deaths has fallen, thanks in part to improved treatment using advanced
radiation therapy devices. We are proud to continue to partner with GenesisCare
as they expand in Spain and grow in the European market. GenesisCare will
receive the most advanced and recognized cancer treatment solutions on the
market. We look forward to providing the platforms to support GenesisCare’s
vision to provide accurate, efficient and high quality treatment.”

Following the recent acquisition of oncology groups, IMOncology and Oncosur,
GenesisCare is now the largest cancer care provider in Spain.

Dan Collins, Managing Director at GenesisCare, says: “By investing in the latest
technology and staff training we are providing our patients with access to more
efficient and effective care. This will enable our physicians and staff to offer
a smoother patient experience and improve patient outcomes. The suite of
advanced technology solutions, global influence and commitment to innovation
offered by Elekta will support our shared efforts to improve cancer services
across Spain.”

Versa HD is Elekta’s most advanced linear accelerator, used to accurately and
quickly deliver radiation therapy. MOSAIQ is a comprehensive oncology
information system that centralizes traditional radiation oncology, particle
therapy and medical oncology patient data into a single user interface,
accessible by multidisciplinary teams across multiple locations.

The total order is valued at EUR 25 million, of which approximately EUR 9.5
million was booked in the second quarter of Elekta’s fiscal year. This agreement
is in addition to an earlier deal with GenesisCare announced on March 31,
2016 (https://www.elekta.com/pressreleases/1127703/genesiscare-and-elekta-sign
