Shareholders of Quickbit eu AB (publ) (“Quickbit” or “The Company”) holding shares corresponding to 10 % of the voting rights in The Company have requested the board to hold an extraordinary general meeting to replace Mikael Karlsson with a new board member and chairman of the board. An invitation will follow shortly. In connection with this request, Quickbit’s chairman, Mikael Karlsson has informed the board that he will resign as board member and chairman of the board. He will however keep his position until a new board member and chairman of the board is elected at the extraordinary general meeting.

“The complex macroeconomic situation and weak financial position has led to several tough decisions for Quickbit. I stand behind the decisions taken during my time as chairman and believe they were the right ones for Quickbit. The new strategic direction, led by Daniel Sonesson will result in a bright future for The Company and all its shareholders. The board’s ambition and the hard work that we have put in has not yet materialised. But I am confident that the current management and board of Quickbit will deliver on The Company’s full potential.” says Mikael Karlsson, Chairman of the Board, and continues:

“I would like to extend my gratitude for the trust you have had in me as Quickbit’s Chairman of the Board and I would like to take this opportunity to wish Daniel and team all the best!”
