MEET OUR NEW SALES MANAGER, OSKAR OLLERUP

We can proudly announce that Oskar Ollerup will be the new sales manager. During his career, Oskar has held several key positions, 12 years as Key Account Manager at Imperial Tobacco and British American Tobacco.

He has also been a central figure in building the Scandinavian Tobacco Group's sales organization in Sweden and played a decisive role in the implementation of the XQS acquisition on the Swedish market.

CEO Marius Arnesen comments on our reinforcement:

- We are extremely enthusiastic about welcoming Oskar to our team. As part of an important change effort, Oskar will be one of the leading people in the continued work of building success for the company. His extensive experience and proven track record, both in sales and business development, will be invaluable assets for our continued growth.

Oskar Ollerup himself comments on his new challenge:

- There is nothing more fun and motivating than being able to participate in building something that can become very big. Harm Reduction Group ticks all the boxes for me, an exciting organization with really promising prospects. Being able to take part in shaping a sales organization is one of the most enjoyable things there is. The foundation is now laid in a good retail classification, which is the new foundation in selling. Planning the strategy going forward and how the work should be carried out in the Harm Reduction Group should lead to us becoming a really large and reliable player within our various categories. For me, it was not a difficult decision to make, but an obvious choice to join the trip!

Oskar has also been a key person in the success of brands such as Knox, Lundgrens and XQS, which further underlines his ability to lead and drive sales in competitive
exposed markets.

Harm Reduction Group - The Better Option.

We want to be the best alternative to tobacco. With a growing range of e-cigs, white snus and other alternative nicotine products, we are getting closer to a tobacco-free society every day.

We started with e-cigarettes and alternatives to tobacco back in 2013. Back then, we were quite alone in believing in a future in this category - but time has proven us right. More and more people are realising that tobacco belongs to history. What we're doing is the future, join us on this journey!

OUR BUSINESS MODEL

Our business model is built on four strong business areas that together create a strong and diversified business. The basis of our success is a combination of physical stores, e-commerce, brands and retail sales.

Distributing our products through retail channels allows us to reach new segments and geographic areas that we might not have been able to reach on our own. We actively work with our retail partners to ensure that our products are displayed in an attractive way and that our brands get the attention they deserve.

Save lives by switching products

Many people have already switched to our tobacco free products and left cigarettes behind and we are convinced that this is just the beginning of our journey as a company and our joint journey towards a tobacco free society.

Several hundred thousand Swedes still use Snus and smoke cigarettes. It's nothing to hide under the chair, we would prefer to see everyone just quit and live a life free of tobacco and addiction. But that's wishful thinking.

What we can do, however, is offer a less harmful but equally satisfying alternative. To actually extend life and reduce tobacco related diseases just by switching products.

OUR GROWTH

 High ambitions and a huge market

Since the company was founded, we have increased turnover by almost 50% every year. And we are still a growth company with a clear ambition to become
the dominant player in the smoke-free segment. A segment that is constantly taking shares from the tobacco industry.

In the West, the goal has long been to become completely cigarette free. People are informed more about the dangers of tobacco at the same time as political decisions are made to reduce tobacco use is something that opens the gates for us to offer a better alternative in every way.

This is one of the many reasons that made Harm Reduction Group the Nordic region's fastest growing company in the smoke-free segment, with a focus on electronic cigarettes and snus.

The bars below show our increased turnover in percentage from the year 2021 to 2022.
