issuance of 700,000 new shares, as partial consideration for the shares in

position in the EV charging market. The EV market is growing fast in Switzerland
and with a stronger team of professionals in the combined company we will
increase our profitable sales growth and offer exciting careers for our
management and employees", says Anders Thingbø, CEO of Zaptec.
