CEO letter

Dear shareholders,

The third quarter and especially the period thereafter have been a time of significant changes and challenges for Rightbridge. With a new management and board in place, we have navigated through a time of restructuring and renewal. As the newly appointed CEO, I am both humble and enthusiastic about the task of leading the company through this phase.

Since my appointment, my focus has been on stabilizing the business, evaluating our strategic directions, and identifying key areas for improvement. This process has been necessary to ensure our long-term success and sustainability. We have taken important steps towards strengthening our core business and exploring new growth opportunities towards profitable markets.

Despite the challenges that come with change, I am optimistic about the future, with our new focus on IP rights and look forward to presenting exciting deals in the future. Our newly formed management team and board bring valuable skills and fresh perspectives, which are critical for our future development.

My primary focus going forward is to create a solid financial platform to build on and capitalize within gaming, web 3, and infrastructure surrounding these areas. We will continue to act in areas where Rightbridge has previously been active and operational, while also building upon new areas and dimensions where I have spent a significant part of my professional career.

I am aware that changes can create uncertainty, but I am convinced that the decisions we make today will be crucial for Rightbridge's future. We face opportunities to not only improve our operational efficiency but also to innovatively expand our business model with new exciting possibilities within IP rights and gaming.

I want to thank you all for your continued support and commitment. Our journey is far from over, and I look forward to building a new Rightbridge together.

Claes Kalborg
