OSLO, NORWAY - 2 June 2021 - Sustainable biochemicals company Circa Group AS
(Euronext Growth Oslo: CIRCA) has appointed Tone Leivestad as CFO. Ms Leivestad

March, we have been strengthening our management team to support our ambitious
scale-up plans. I would like to thank our outgoing CFO, Peter Gome, for his
unfaltering support throughout our fundraising process, and I look forward to
welcoming Tone Leivestad to the Oslo team."
