CEO statement - Partnership in UAE progressing with start of local subsidiary.

One of he highpoints of the third quarter was the launch of Brighter's joint venture with the AFAQ Group in Dubai, aimed at bringing Actiste into the United Arab Emirates. This is just the kind of international breakthrough we've been looking for, and we're now building up our organization there as a stepping stone to the broader Gulf region – one of the global hotspots in rising diabetes prevalence.

Back home in Sweden, our Board of Directors voted to initiate the process to apply for listing the company's shares on a regulated market. The listing will make it easier for institutional investors and international shareholders to trade in Brighter. It will also help to create the conditions for improved liquidity in the company's stock. This is an important step in realizing our global ambitions.

Brighter’s team was given another boost in July when Jakarta-based Dr. Teddy Batanghari, co-founder of Kairos Healthcare and former CEO of Summit Healthcare, became Senior Advisor to Brighter. Teddy, former CEO of the prestigious Indonesian hospital Pandai Indah Kapuk for some 18 years, will be immensely helpful in advising Brighter with the introduction of Actiste in Southeast Asia. We're delighted to have him on board!

In terms of product development, we received news in August that the European Patent Office intends to grant Brighter’s patent for the Artificial Intelligence-driven monitoring of medical devices. This is great news for our customers and our investors, as the patent will allow us to bring some new and valuable functionalities to Actiste in the future.

I want to thank Brighter's board, management and key personnel for exercising their warrants during the third quarter and contributing capital of more than SEK 29 million. In total, we raised SEK 37 million during the period, which will now allow us to invest the resources we need into the commercialization of Actiste in the United Arab Emirates. This capital injection has come at exactly the right moment for Brighter!

Finally, some great news on the digital front too. We received final approval during the quarter that the mobile applications and digital infrastructure behind Actiste have been CE certified! This follows extensive user testing on both iOS and Android that focused on both ease of use and technical support. I'm very pleased that our solution achieved a score equivalent to 92% of the maximum! A big thank you to all for the hard work from our digital team that made this possible.

Best wishes,
Truls Sjöstedt, Founder and CEO of Brighter AB.
