  • Proxy Statement
    September 8, 2021 To our shareholders: I am pleased to invite you to the 2021 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual General Meeting") of Quotient Limited (“Quotient”, the “Company” or "we", "us" and "our") to be held on October 29, 2021, at 9:00 a.m., local time, at Business Park Terre Bonne B1, Route de Crassier 13, 1262 Eysins, Switzerland. Information about the meeting is presented on the following pages. Details regarding admission to the meeting and the business that will be conducted are described in the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting (the "AGM Notice") and Proxy Statement. In accordance with the “notice and access” rules and regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), instead of mailing a printed, paper copy of our proxy materials to each shareholder who holds shares in street name (the “full set delivery” option), we are furnishing proxy materials to those shareholders over the Internet (the “notice only” option). A company may use either option, “notice only” or “full set delivery,” for all of its shareholders or may use one method for some shareholders and the other method for others. We believe the “notice only” process expedites shareholders’ receipt of proxy materials and reduces the costs and environmental impact of our Annual General Meeting. We will bear the entire cost of the solicitation. On or about September 8, 2021, we will begin mailing a notice (the "Notice of Availability") to our shareholders containing instructions on how to access online our Proxy Statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on June 3, 2021 (our "Annual Report"), vote online, and receive paper copies of these documents for shareholders who so select, as well as a link containing instructions on how to vote by telephone.

  • Silicon Valley London Woodside Capital Partners (WCP)
    Silicon Valley London Woodside Capital Partners (WCP) proudly releases the inaugural healthcare report “State of Digital Health”. In 2016, healthcare cost in the US was $3.3 Trillion – 17.9% of GDP, passing $10,000 per capita mark for the first time ever. According to CMS, by 2026, the figure is projected to grow to $5.7 Trillion – 19.8% of GDP. The answer to curbing and reversing the trend with respect to healthcare costs lies in large part to the movement towards Digital Health, or ‘Health Tech’. The proliferation of devices and applications across the healthcare spectrum has led to a data tsunami – the “what”. Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and overall Big Data analytics are leading to real-time actionable insights – the “so what”. We have entered the realm of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), with ubiquitous connectivity and measurement of everything from our vitals and nutrition to physical activity and medical compliance. We are just starting to leverage that data in a meaningful way and seeing early impact on health and well-being. In 2017, venture investments in Digital Health startups exceeded $6 Billion for the first time, and the trend seems to be accelerating with $1.6 Billion invested in Q1, 2018. The juxtaposition of rising healthcare costs and increased Digital Health investments is not all that surprising. Advances in underlying real-time analytics and potential of leading edge innovations around genomics are turning the perceived fiction of personalized medicine into a real possibility. Foundational disruptions such as Blockchain, while relatively nascent, are creating excitement (and some anxiety) around secure, immutable data sharing across silos – with healthcare as the ideal use case.
