- I would like to thank Torbjørn for his contribution over the last few years. Although I regret Torbjørn is leaving I do understand and respect his decision. We will immediately start the process to recruit a new CFO, says Rickard Gustafson.

- This has not been an easy decision given the current market turmoil, but this is a result of a process that started well before Covid-19 became a global issue.
