Oslo, Norway - April 30, 2024 - SunSpearX is a joint venture established by
Norwegian Block Exchange (NBX), Hagal and Suniqon in March 2024. SunSpearX
builds a platform that enables access to profitable solar energy and battery
projects for private households, private and professional investors who want to
offset their own electricity consumption.

Sturle Valheim Skulevold steps down as COO at NBX after 6 years in the position,
and has accepted the position as CEO in SunSpearX. Sturle has been with NBX
since the foundation of the company, and was a part of the initial team that
migrated over from Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA.

"Sturle has been fundamental in building and leading NBX since the very
beginning, and even though he is not on the documents as one of the founders, he
in every way is. I am so pleased that Sturle will take the lead at SunSpearX
from August. With his experience and skills, SunSpearX will be a success." says
Stig Aleksander Kjos-Mathisen.

Skulevold will take over the role as CEO in SunspearX from August 2024.

Through the SunSpearX platform, users can participate in sustainable energy
projects and contribute to the expansion of battery- and solar energy
installations. This enables electricity consumers to reduce their environmental
footprint, while at the same time providing attractive investment opportunities
in the renewable energy sector.

"With Sturle in place, SunSpearX is clearly taking shape and we can shift focus
to building the product. Sturle is particularly good at leading development
processes", says Christian F. Ringvold. Interim CEO of SunSpearX & CEO of Hagal.

For private households, owning a solar panel in a larger installation is a more
flexible, less expensive and more efficient solution than a complex project for
home installation. With SunSpearX, the household can easily increase or decrease
the number of panels to a level that balances consumption for the home.

SunSpearX stands out as an offer where sustainable clean energy production is
made economically achievable for everyone. SunSpearX is set to democratize
energy production and consumption.
