Company Information/LifeWatch AG

26.03.2012

Neuhausen am Rheinfall / Switzerland - LifeWatch AG (SIX Swiss
Exchange: LIFE), the leading wireless cardiac monitoring service
provider in the U.S., announced today that it has settled the civil
investigation with the Office of the Inspector General of the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services ("OIG") and by the United
States Department of Justice ("DOJ").

You will find a PDF-version of this press release at the end of this
message.

LifeWatch cooperated fully with the OIG and the DOJ during the course
of the investigation in which the Company denied any wrongdoing. In
December 2011, LifeWatch announced the settlement in principle with
the OIG and has now formally executed the settlement in accordance
with the terms announced previously.

And the US-Department of Justice now officially states: "The claims
resolved by the settlement are only allegations and do not constitute
a determination of liability."

To proactively comply with all federal policies and procedures,
LifeWatch engaged an experienced outside firm to enhance the
LifeWatch Compliance Program. The compliance program is overseen by a
Corporate Compliance Officer. As part of the settlement, the company
has entered into a five year Corporate Integrity agreement with the
OIG.

LifeWatch will continue to provide the highest level of service to
its physicians and their patients.
