Following Aqua Bio Technology ASA's ("ABT") acquisition of Skinteam Norge AS ("

 * Wow is a signing that starts an active autumn where we will invite in and
   sign several hairdressing salons. At the same time we will also sign more
   skincaresalons in the near future, says Per Egil Borge, chairman of Skinteam.

About Skinteam:
Skinteam is a retail chain that targets independent skincare and hairdressing
salons with "one stop shop" solutions. Skinteam offers a fully integrated
operating system for independent salons: white-label online store, membership
club, sales training, product training, advertising, AI app and high-quality
products. Skinteam was built up by the SATS founders Per Egil Borge and Bjørn
Sigurd Johansen. Skinteam offers independent salons a range of services,
enabling them to improve profitability without Skinteam assuming risk on the
salons' operational side.

All affiliated salons undertake to have Skinteam as the main supplier of
products, where approx 80% of sales over the counter and 100% of professional
products used in treatment are purchased from Skinteam. All income is channeled
through Skinteam centrally and paid to the partner salons in arrears enabling
Skinteam to capitalize on the growth in line with the salons' results, while
taking limited liquidity risks.

Skinteam today has more than 1,000 paying members according to the model that
was developed in SATS. The memberships are either basic memberships or
memberships that include monthly treatments - at a higher price. All memberships
have a commitment period of 12 months, and are used across the verticals. The
membership club gives Skinteam and the partner salons higher income and in
addition provides recurring income.
