releases

Following Aqua Bio Technology ASA's ("ABT") acquisition of Skinteam Norge AS ("
Skinteam"), Skinteam has signed the first spa & skincare salon in Bergen.
Vannkanten Spa and Bodycare opened its doors in 2001, and is the place for those
who want quality in combination with a bit of luxury and well-being. Vannkanten
Spa & Bodycare offers everything in skin and body care, and can offer both
facials, pedicures, massages and spa treatments. Following this signing Skinteam
currently has 17 skincare and hairdressing salons.

"The spa, which is a high-end spa located in the Vestkanten shopping center in
west Bergen, means that we are now represented in all of Bergen's districts. So
far, almost all the salons that have been presented with our concept have signed
an agreement with us, so it is clear that independent salons, spas and
hairdressing salons find it interesting to become part of a larger unit and
where we gather under the same umbrella. This makes us stronger together in an
increasingly challenging competitive everyday life that requires more and more
to succeed as a small skincare salon, says Per Egil Borge, co-founder of
Skinteam"

About Skinteam:
Skinteam is a retail chain that targets independent skincare and hairdressing
salons with "one stop shop" solutions. Skinteam offers a fully integrated
operating system for independent salons: white-label online store, membership
club, sales training, product training, advertising, AI app and high-quality
products. Skinteam was built up by the SATS founders Per Egil Borge and Bjørn
Sigurd Johansen. Skinteam offers independent salons a range of services,
enabling them to improve profitability without Skinteam assuming risk on the
salons' operational side.

All affiliated salons undertake to have Skinteam as the main supplier of
products, where approx 80% of sales over the counter and 100% of professional
products used in treatment are purchased from Skinteam. All income is channeled
through Skinteam centrally and paid to the partner salons in arrears enabling
Skinteam to capitalize on the growth in line with the salons' results while
taking limited liquidity risks.

Skinteam today has more than 1,000 paying members according to the model that
was developed in SATS. The memberships are either basic memberships or
memberships that include monthly treatments - at a higher price. All memberships
have a commitment period of 12 months and are used across the verticals. The
membership club gives Skinteam and the partner salons higher income and in
addition provides recurring income.
