Stockholm, Sweden, February 12, 2024: Resqunit AB (Nasdaq First North GM: RESQ) provides an update on recent developments and ongoing strategic considerations in regards to the company’s financial situation. The Company’s Board of Directors and administration are working on several solutions to solve the criticial cash liquidity situation, currently lasting until the end of February 2024.

Reduced Burn Rate, Improved Sales, Azures delivery

• Through cost-cutting initiatives we have achieved a 25-30% reduction in our monthly burn rate.
   
• The change in sales strategy focusing on direct-to-consumer and retail has led to increased sales, nearly doubling monthly volumes in January and February compared to the 2nd half of 2023.
   
• Theres an increase in incoming leads and requests, demonstrating a growing reputation and interest in the market, especially from scientific organizations such as marine institutes and universities. This is considered very important and positive, as scientific verification is required to make significant progress towards regulatory implementation.
   
• As previously communicated to the market, a significant delivery of products to Azures, the first region fully implementing RESQUNIT in the regions fisheries, has been delayed due to unforeseen changes in the political administration. This delivery is of great importance of the company as it stands as a lowcost effort for fishing nations to mitigate ghost fishing. We are pleased to report favorable progress in this delivery and overall process.

The Board of Directors continues to explore strategic options for the Company, including a potential delisting from Nasdaq First North Growth Market. We are also in early negotiations regarding a beneficial transaction that could offer an alternative path forward.
