LifeWatch: 5-year Corporate Integrity Agreement successfully completed


Zug/Switzerland, June 6, 2017 - LifeWatch AG (SIX Swiss Exchange: LIFE), a
leading developer and provider of medical solutions and remote diagnostic
monitoring services in the digital health market, is pleased to announce that
LifeWatch Services, Inc., the US subsidiary of LifeWatch AG, has successfully
completed the five- year term of its Corporate Integrity Agreement (CIA).

In March 2012, LifeWatch entered into a Settlement Agreement with the U.S.
Department of Justice, Office of the Inspector General (OIG) agreeing to pay $18
million and operate under a five-year CIA. The case pertained to certain
sales-related activities. During the five-year period, LifeWatch operated under
the guidance of an Independent Review Organization and submitted reports of its
compliance activities, on an annual basis, to the OIG. Today that additional
oversight has come to an end with the successful completion of the five-year
CIA. LifeWatch's CEO Dr. Stephan Rietiker commented, "We are pleased to be able
to move past this chapter in the company's history. We are strongly committed to
delivering diagnostic cardiac monitoring services with the highest levels of
integrity, compliance and patient safety. The highest standards of ethics and
compliance are part of LifeWatch's DNA, and we will continue to use established
best practices developed during the OIG oversight as an integral part of
maintaining a comprehensive and effective compliance program."
