Atea ASA - Chief Executive Officer

Good morning and welcome to the presentation of the Q1 numbers for ATEA.

We're in the beautiful head office of our company here in Oslo and right after this presentation we'll give the general assembly which pre which due to pre-voting I can say will be pretty uneventful.
