Smiths notes the press speculation regarding discussions involving its Smiths Medical business and confirms that it is in very early stage discussions about a potential combination of its medical division with ICU Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: ICUI).

The Board of Smiths routinely reviews all options for the Group’s portfolio of businesses to maximise value for Smiths shareholders.

There can be no certainty that a transaction will be concluded.
