Neuhausen am Rheinfall / Switzerland, August 31, 2009 - LifeWatch AG 
(SIX  Swiss Exchange: LIFE), the leading provider of wireless  
cardiac  monitoring  services
in  the  U.S.,  announces  today  that  according  to   SIX   Swiss   Exchange's
notification the LifeWatch shares will be included in the SXI LIFE SCIENCES  and
the SXI Bio+Medtech indices effective as of September  21,  2009.  Inclusion  in
the indices of the SPI Family remains unchanged.
The SXI Indices  Family  comprises  industry  sectors  that  are  of  particular
significance to the Swiss economy; SXI stands for SIX Special Industry. The  SXI
sector index family was launched in  2004  with  the  purpose  to  increase  the
liquidity of shares listed on SIX Swiss Exchange that belong to  internationally
significant industries
The SXI LIFE SCIENCES and SXI Bio+Medtech  indices  reflect  the  
life  sciences industry, one of Switzerland's most prominent sectors.
The  weighting  of  each individual stock is capped at 10% giving  
small  and  medium-sized  companies  a greater impact. The shares  of
LifeWatch  AG  fulfil  the  following  inclusion criteria:
Minimum capitalization The SXI indices only include securities with a
free float capitalization  of  at least CHF 100 million. 
Capitalization is calculated  on  the  basis  of  current information
regarding the free float of securities available  on  the  benchmark 
date (July 31, 2009). To qualify  for  inclusion,  the  
capitalization  must  at least amount to CHF 100 million on such a 
benchmark date and, in  addition,  the average capitalization during 
20 trading days preceding the benchmark date  must also amount to at 
least CHF 100 million.
ICB sector classification Sector allocation is  based  on  the  ICB  
(Industry  Classification  Benchmark) classification standard 
developed by  Dow  Jones  and  the  FTSE.  The  security universe of 
the two SXI indices encompasses one or  more  ICB  sub-sectors.  The 
respective sub-sectors are: 4533 Medical Providers / 4535  Medical  
Equipment/ 4537 Medical Supplies / 4573 Biotechnology / 4577 
Pharmaceuticals.
Free float In order to be included in one of the SXI indices, the  
minimum  free  float  of the total shares of a given company must at 
least be 20%.
LifeWatch AG meets all the above mentioned criteria and its shares 
will  now  be included in the two SXI indices effective as of 
September 21, 2009.
