Agreement with Boots for retail launch of extended product portfolio

MyHealthChecked tests to be available on www.boots.com (http://www.boots.com)
and in store.

 

MyHealthChecked PLC (AIM: MHC), the consumer home-testing healthcare company,
announces that it has entered into an agreement ("Agreement") via its
subsidiary Concepta Diagnostics Limited with Boots UK Limited ("Boots"), the
health and beauty retailer and pharmacy group, to launch its extended range of
at-home self-testing products  tests via boots.com (https://www.boots.com/)
and across Boots stores in Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

 

Under the agreement, a range of fourteen different test panels will launch
during May 2023 comprising two blood and urine sample kits, seven blood prick
sample kits and five DNA cheek swab kits. The tests and sample collection kits
are available for applications such as thyroid function, food intolerances and
sensitivities and vitamin profiles. The tests will be launched online and
selected test kits will then be rolled out across approximately 120 Boots
stores in Great Britain and Northern Ireland. All of the test kits are
available for consumers to purchase directly from Boots stores or boots.com.
The samples for these tests need to be posted and are tested at an accredited
lab, after which, the blood and urine results are verified by a GP, who will
provide advice on any actions the patient should take.  The agreement is on a
non-exclusive basis and has an initial term of 12 months from 17 May 2023.

 

In addition to the 14 tests under the agreement, a further six lateral flow
tests will be launched online and in over 800 stores. These are done at home
without needing to send a sample to the laboratory and the result is provided
on the lateral flow device. This new product portfolio follows the successful
launch of MyHealthChecked's COVID-19 PCR test kits via Boots online and in
stores during 2021, and the distribution of FlowFlex(TM) lateral flow tests,
which are also available online and in-store.

 

Penny McCormick, Chief Executive Officer of MyHealthChecked PLC, said: "We are
delighted to be working with Boots with the launch of our extended portfolio
of at-home tests online and in stores, whilst demonstrating execution of the
next stage of our strategic plan. Our tests reflect a change in consumer needs
as we see more customers take their health into their own hands. Following the
launch of our extended product portfolio, our focus will turn towards ongoing
customer guidance as we self-fund our investment in the evolution of our
technology platform."
