and the new CEO have strong track records of achieving objectives within
business development and change management. Thomas has been within the
Huddlestock Group since March 2023 and knows the products, the markets and the
employees well before his new position. With Thomas and Bernhardsen in place,
the top management team of Huddlestock Group has been significantly
strengthened.

The announcement of divesting Huddlestock Solutions was closed during Q4 2023
and demonstrates that Huddlestock is prepared to take actions necessary to
ensure strategic focus to achieve its goals faster.

The German market is a prioritized area for Huddlestock and different strategies
to achieve profitable results faster is continuously evaluated.

After the Q4, both the signing of an LOI with AVL, but also a decision from
Garantum Wealth Management of using more of the company's services, validates
the company's value proposition as an attractive provider of
Investment-as-a-Service solutions.

To achieve the objective of positive EBITDA faster, the cost saving program
decided Q2 and Q3 is on track with the plan. The program will be revised during
Q1 2024 with objective of being more aggressive.

"Managing strong growth and profitability at the same time is challenging, but
not impossible. To secure our goals of both growth and profitability going
forward, we will need to act more focused on what and where we use our energy
and resources. Decisions will always be driven by what is creating the most
long-term shareholder values. Identifying long term financing partners to
support our strategy, incl potential for non-organic growth, will be part of
that work.", says Leif Arnold Thomas, CEO Huddlestock Group.
