With the addition of these talented individuals, we are bringing on a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and banking experience as we continue to grow the business and expand our footprint. Additionally, and on behalf of the entire Supervisory Board, I would like to thank my predecessor Egbert Fleischer for his distinguished service. He provided great leadership to the entire Supervisory Board during his service. I would also like to express my gratitude to our outgoing Supervisory Board members for their dedication and contributions over the years. As for the Management Team, I am incredibly proud of their commitment and achievements since our IPO in 2017 and look forward to working together in the years ahead.”
