Hello, shareholders and stakeholders of OptiCept. My name is Thomas Lundqvist and it is with joy and foresight that I write my first words to you. From May 25, I will take on the role of CEO of OptiCept, something I do with humility and great anticipation.

I have worked for 22 years in companies that offer process solutions to the global food industry and have several times stepped into companies that are in a similar phase, as the one OptiCept is in now. OptiCept has made a journey from innovation to a commercial phase where the company is now facing the next step. All companies go through different stages and OptiCept steps into a global acceleration with growth as the keyword.

To continue to develop our business and deliver according to customers' expectations is the focus as we move forward. At present, we are reaching out more and more traction amongst customers to us and our technology platforms are in demand for many different applications.

With my experience of building an offer from ear to loaf with customer value and profitability in focus, I hope to be able to contribute to OptiCept's further development. When we now conclude agreements in various applications, the company is also facing a new phase where installation, service, and service sales are becoming increasingly important. We will develop all these areas to provide even more value, to the customer, the company, and its stakeholders.

OptiCept's technology has great and scalable potential, both in the food and flower industry. We operate in some of the world's largest markets, and I see continued innovation and good opportunities for breakthroughs in new areas in the future.

In practice, we run and develop several business areas in parallel, where all areas have good chances to advance and grow on their own. That is a fantastic opportunity and a challenge.

My mission going forward will be to help us run business, focus and develop our offerings while we build a stable organization for the establishment of our technology in the markets where we get the best exchange for our shareholders and customers.

We will have time to get to know each other and I look forward to a long-term and prosperous relationship with you, our owners.

Finally, I would like to thank all the competent, driven, and positive colleagues I have at OptiCept.

Thomas Lundqvist, Acting CEO OptiCept Technologies
