Effective immediately, please accept my resignation as CEO of Celsius Network Ltd, as well as my directorships and other positions at each of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, with the exception of my director position at Celsius Network Ltd.

Since the pause, I have worked tirelessly to help the company and its advisors put forward a viable plan for the company to return coins to creditors reasonably and efficiently. I am committed to supporting the company and continue to flesh out and promote that plan to help account holders become whole.
