Dear Valued Customer,

I hope this letter finds you well.

Each year Merit Medical performs routine maintenance of manufacturing equipment to ensure the continued production of the highest integrity in our products and processes. Please be aware that we will perform routine maintenance at the Merit Medical Coatings facility in Venlo from July 1 to July 8. As a result, all production will cease during this time, shipments during this time can be arranged with prior notification. In regards to the routine shutdown this would be a good time to review your forecast and place your orders accordingly. To guarantee delivery prior to or during this time all orders must be submitted by May 16.

Please contact us as soon as possible to discuss any upcoming purchasing needs or orders so that we can plan for them appropriately.

Our Customer Service team will be available to you during this time, as always, at OEMorder@merit.com or +31 43 3588224 (Europe) and +1 801.208.4313 (US).

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

Sincerely,

Michael Blackham
Executive Vice President Global OEM
