opportunities inherent in our recent acquisition of the Norwegian company
Mørenot and achieve optimization of the company's operations. Extensive
knowledge of fishing gear and fish farming together with strong product
development has put us in the forefront of companies that serve those
important sectors, and we want to continue on the same path and reinforce
Hampidjan even further. We are truly pleased to see that investors share our
vision and warmly welcome new shareholders on board."

its share offering, and we look forward to supporting them on their ongoing
journey as a listed company, through increased visibility and investor access
as a Main Market company."
