Sent to IR this morning:Hi There,
I am a shareholder of LDX here in Australia and am seeking some clarification on the recent quarterly report which was released specifically around the US distribution deals (as most seem to be).
The comments around signed contracts with 2newdistributors and another 10 in final negotiations are of particular interest. I am hoping to find out if thenewdistributors have been announced or not? I would interpret thenewdistributors are not correlated to existing deals with Henry Schein etc. Is it likely we can expect an announcement soon in respect of these deals or are they subject to confidentiality until all deals are received to ensure maximum benefit to LDX across all contracts?
I appreciate a response and thank you for your time.
Response from IR:Thank you for your email.
In relation to the distributors, the ones that have been signed and those that are under final negotiations have not been announced to the market other than through their inclusion in the quarterly updates. There has not been any separate announcements regarding them and they also have not been named. This is consistent with the guidance around materiality that the ASX provides for what should be announced to the market.
Typically, we would not announce the appointment of new distributors. However, I think if there was something signed with one of the larger national US distributors (Henry Schein, McKesson, Cardinal/Fisher etc), that would be something that we would consider sufficiently material to warrant an ASX release.
Hopefully this adequately addresses you enquiry.
Kindest regards
Matthijs
