energy solutions. The broad portfolio of technologies of Hexagon and its 38%
stake in Hexagon Purus, which includes technologies for Renewable Natural Gas,
Hydrogen and Battery Electric Solutions enable cost effective and
environmentally friendly alternatives for the transportation and gas

to utilize all available energy options. I am eager to collaborate with
Hexagon's leadership, employees, associates and partners to unlock Hexagon's
full potential," said Philipp Schramm.
