“The Company is dependent upon its ultimate parent company, Stryker Corporation, for both product supply and cash resources via a group cash pooling facility. In view of this, the Directors have confirmed that Stryker Corporation guarantees to make funds available to the Company to enable it to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “On 11 March, 2026, a cybersecurity incident occurred which caused disruption to Stryker's corporate network environment, including but not limited to the Microsoft environment. The investigation of the cybersecurity incident is ongoing, and the scope, nature and impact, including, but not limited to operational and financial impact, of the incident continue to be assessed and re-evaluated. As this event occurred after the balance sheet date, it did not have an effect on the estimates inherent within the financial statements as of the balance sheet date.”
