Update on ESTAR tender for rapid AST

Q-linea AB (publ) (OMX: QLINEA) today announces that the Italian Supreme Administrative Court has overturned the previous ruling which was in favour of Q-linea.

Although the ESTAR tender has not yet been formally awarded, Q-linea assesses its chances of winning the tender as low. The tender has a validity of three plus two years and a total value of EUR 1.7 million. It involves nine sites across the region of Tuscany for a total of 3,500 tests per year.

Q-linea continues to have a positive view on the growing Italian market.
