Dear Ms. Gabunia,

Please find our offer for 2 x cobas 6800 instruments in the attached file for your considerations. We haven't prepared an offer for the immunochemistry instrument for the antibody testing because
our distributor Mirco will provide a free of charge instrument for antibody testing. This way we aimed to help you to channel your investment to the molecular side where the instrument is needed more in Georgia.

Our offer is directly to the Ministry of IDPs from the Occupied Territories, Labor, Health and Social Affairs of Georgia. This means that we will sell directly to the Ministry and this enables
a better pricing by excluding the distributor costs, taxes and profit margin. All the customs clearance processes shall be handled by the Ministry in this case.

We are excited by this collaboration opportunity to contribute in your efforts both in the short term in COVID-19 management and also in long term for the public health with our wide menu.

We are at your disposal to discuss if you need further information or explanation. Please don't hesitate calling me any time on my mobile phone.

Kind regards,

Hasan Demirci

Dear Ms. Tajik,

Based on your discussion with Bernard Colombo today we would like to emphasize once again that we are ready to work together with you and support your efforts in fighting with the COVID-19 pandemic.
We would like to share with you our three-step approach in supporting COVID-19 and Blood Safety testing needs in Georgia with a long term perspective.

1. Step - High Quality qPCR Solution for COVID-19

We have already been providing high quality qPCR testing solutions through our distributor Mirco to NCDC. We will keep providing and make sure the testing is available in Georgia before and after we deliver cobas 6800.

2. Step - cobas 6800 instrument and tests for COVID-19

We will order 1 cobas 6800 instrument and hopefully deliver it in the upcoming few months, probably towards Q3 2020. We will make sure that both high quality qPCR tests and cobas 6800 tests are available in Georgia. This way we will be prioritizing and contributing
in COVID-19 pandemic management.

3. Step - cobas 6800 instrument and tests for Blood Safety Solution

We would like to plan together the optimal Blood Safety Solution with the relevant stakeholders in the longer run. This might be feasible Q4-2020 or Q1-2021.

Please note that cobas 6800 instrument can also be utilized for other virology and microbiology testing (HCV, HBV, HIV, HPV, CT/NG, MTB) which we see as an opportunity to further contribute to
public health in Georgia.

We kindly ask your comments and look forward to discussing these matters through a web meeting.

Kind regards,
