Aqua Bio Technology ASA (ABT) has signed a letter of intent with the Russian
company Limited Liability Company Management Company AB Group (LLCMC) for
distribution of Moana Skincare in Russia. The goal is to establish a partnership
where LLCMC markets Moana Skincare to clinics and beauty salons in the Russian
market.

ABT acquired its first commercial rights for Moana Skincare in 2017. Moana is
produced in New Zealand and the main active ingredients in the products are
extracted from seaweed from the South Pacific. ABT was originally granted
commercial rights for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and is now
selling the Moana products through partners in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and
Kuwait. ABT recently expanded its market to include India, Hong Kong and
Indonesia.

- We are very pleased to announce that we have entered into a letter of intent
with Limited Liability Company Management Company AB GROUP. Their expertise in
the Russian market will be important for the commercialization of Moana Skincare
in Russia, says Arvid Lindberg.

Limited Liability Company Management Company AB GROUP markets and distributes
third-party beauty and personal care products in Russia and has been active for
more than 20 years. They own and operate 15 beauty salons and are also
distributors for Dessange and Phytodess products in 37 salons in the Russian
market.

The letter of intent includes a test launch of Moana Skincare in the Russian
market and if the parties are satisfied with the result of the test launch, ABT
will grant AB Group exclusive distribution rights for Moana Skincare for the
Russian market.

- We believe Moana Skicnare represents a unique opportunity for us in building
and strengthening our position in the Russian market. Moana Skincare is unique
and well positioned for growth in our market, says Alexei Tsarevsky, President
of AB Group (LLCMC).

annually.
