Goobit Group AB (publ) ("Goobit" or the "Company") announces that, following careful analysis of Finansinspektionen's decision to reject Goobit AB's application for MiCA authorisation, the Company has decided to primarily seek a reconsideration of the matter and, secondarily, to appeal the decision.
The Company has evaluated all available courses of action and considers that a reconsideration, and if necessary an appeal, is the correct path forward. Goobit maintains its ambition to operate within a clearly regulated European framework and will provide further information as the process progresses.
Strengthening the board of directors
Goobit has at the same time decided to strengthen the competence around the board's work by co-opting Joakim Dahl and Sarah Häger as advisers on matters relating to board work, business development and the Company's long-term strategic direction.
Joakim Dahl and Sarah Häger will contribute experience and specialist expertise in areas considered important for Goobit's continued development. The purpose is to broaden the board's decision-making basis and further strengthen the Company's strategic and operational development work.
The co-opted advisers are not formally appointed board members and do not participate in the board's formal decisions.
