FTSE 100 Live: Pound Recovers Some Ground as Starmer Backs Reeves
The reaction in bond markets illustrates how jittery they are about the UK's public finances, and any extra uncertainty given the extreme global uncertainty financial markets are already facing isn't welcome. Incidents like yesterday do damage to market confidence in the government, and that means they have to price more risk into UK bonds, which leads to higher borrowing costs and therefore more pressure on the country's finances.

Medimaps Group Launches In Europe TBS Osteo Next-Generation Software For Advanced Bone Microarchitecture Assessment
New TBS Osteo Advanced next-generation software enhances fracture risk detection beyond standard of care in osteoporosis, a silent disease affecting over 32 million Europeans1 TBS Osteo Advanced next-generation software to be rolled-out across Europe Broad clinical adoption reinforces TBS Osteo leadership in bone microarchitecture evaluation for fracture risk assessment Subscription-based model offers ongoing services and access to future clinical innovations GENEVA, July 03, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Medimaps Group S.A., a global leader in AI-driven bone microarchitecture imaging solutions, announces the European launch of its MDR-cleared next-generation TBS Osteo Advanced software. Following the product launch in the United States last month, this next milestone reflects the company's commitment to advancing osteoporosis detection and bone health management worldwide. The TBS Osteo Advanced software delivers refined correction for soft tissue thickness anterior to the lumbar spine, ensuring inclusivity of TBS assessment across a wide range of body phenotypes. It also introduces new system management capabilities, allowing hospitals and healthcare networks to centrally manage the TBS software on their DXA systems fleet, and to standardize workflows across multiple locations. These improvements enhance operational efficiency, streamline clinical processes, and ensure consistent patient care. TBS Osteo is available through a convenient subscription model, a flexible option providing customers with eligibility for software updates, new features and support services. This approach ensures healthcare organizations stay up to date with the latest innovations in osteoporosis care. Current TBS Osteo users have the possibility to upgrade to the next generation version and to take advantage of the new capabilities. "The TBS Osteo next-generation software has been developed with busy radiology professionals in mind for a maximum of clinical output with a minimum of logistics. The software is seamlessly integrated into the clinical workflow and performed at time of DXA scan. This approach sets TBS Osteo apart from competition," said Univ. Prof. Dr. Didier Hans, CEO and Co-founder of Medimaps Group. "TBS Osteo delivers within seconds a comprehensive report combining BMD and clinical factors, providing results beyond the standard of care. Adopted by many top hospitals across the world, including in the U.S., DXA and TBS Osteo have become the gold standard to detect and monitor osteoporosis." Since its initial launch in 2012, TBS Osteo has been widely adopted across the world, to support the assessment and management of osteoporosis. The software is backed by over 1,400 peer-reviewed publications and endorsed by more than 30 national and international osteoporosis assessment and management guidelines. In Europe, the software has received clearance from the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and remains the only approved medical software for bone microarchitecture evaluation in clinical practice. Osteoporosis is a condition that weakens bones and increases the risk of fractures. Fractures due to osteoporosis have a devastating impact on millions of people worldwide and result in enormous socio-economic costs to society and healthcare systems. According to the International Osteoporosis Foundation, approximately 32 million Europeans aged 50 or over have osteoporosis. The annual number of osteoporotic fractures across the European Union, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom is projected to rise from 4.33 million in 2019 to 5.34 million by 2034 - an increase of over 1 million fractures annually¹. Despite the availability of effective treatments to reduce fracture risk, only 1 in 5 patients who experience an osteoporotic fracture are diagnosed or receive appropriate therapy¹.

At the Annual General Meeting of Fingerprint Cards AB (publ) ('FPC' or the 'Company') held on June 24, 2025, a resolution was passed to carry out a reverse share split, whereby two thousand (2,000) existing shares will be consolidated into one (1) new share (reverse split 1:2,000). The AGM also resolved to authorize the Board of Directors to determine the record date for the reverse split. The Board has decided that the record date for the reverse split will be July 11, 2025. As a result of the reverse split, FPC's B-shares will change its ISIN code. As of July 10, 2025, the B-shares will be traded under the new ISIN code SE0025420235. From this date, the share price will reflect the effect of the reverse split. Following the reverse split, the total number of shares in the Company will decrease from 15,175,375,766 shares (7,875,000 A-shares and 15,167,500,766 B-shares) and 15,246,250,766 votes to 7,587,687 shares (3,937 A-shares and 7,583,750 B-shares) and 7,623,120 votes. Each share will have a quota value of SEK 21.353477 after the reverse split.
