I look forward to working closely with Marc as we capitalize on the amazing prospects for the Company."
"This was a difficult decision that I reached after much consideration. I am proud of all that we have accomplished together, and I want to thank the team for all of their hard work and support," said Archer. "Binovi's brand visibility has grown exponentially during the pandemic, resulting in significant quarter over quarter increased sales and revenue growth. I am excited to watch the many strategic partnerships with professional sports teams that were secured during my tenure, as both the head of marketing and as the Interim CEO, continue to benefit from Binovi's technology platform that uses neuroscience to unlock human performance. I will sorely miss my colleagues at Binovi but I am confident that in Mr. Lakmaaker the Company has appointed a capable successor."

I am excited about this opportunity and will work tirelessly to ensure Binovi remains the leader in this burgeoning field. My immediate focus will be on housekeeping, including recapitalizing the Company so we can progress with our internal reorganization, as well as execute on our growing commercial pipeline. I look forward to working with the team and the board, as well as working with the science team on our endeavours in the early learning space, such as our initiative with Dr. Stoddard on the positive impact visual therapy can potentially have on children's ability to learn to read. I am grateful for the support Ms. Archer is providing during this transition period and will continue to build on her work and the relationships she established with numerous athletes, sports and other organizations."
