and Principal Stakeholders
March 2026
The undersigned are the Board of Managers and principal stakeholders of Ecogensus, LLC. Together, we represent one hundred percent of the Board and a substantial majority of the Company's ownership.
We write to affirm our unequivocal confidence in the leadership of Bjørnulf Østvik, the Company's Founder and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Østvik invented the core technology on which this Company was built, holds more than one hundred patents across the world, and continues to advance the science underlying our platform. His vision, integrity, and dedication to this Company have never wavered.
We fully support the Company's strategic direction. Ecogensus is a materials science company, an industrial engineering company, and a leader in unlocking new untapped resources, with critical applications at the intersection of advanced materials, critical resource security, and biological threat reduction.
We believe the highest-value applications of the Company's technology lie in engineered materials, including building materials, plastic substitutes, and advanced composites. Pursuing these pathways will generate the greatest long-term returns for stakeholders.
The Company has a concrete commercialization plan to bring this technology to market at scale, one that we have spent years building. We have confidence in that plan, in the team executing it, and in the partnerships and infrastructure being developed to support it. We believe Ecogensus is positioned to build something of lasting importance.
We stand behind this Company, its Founder, and the integrity of its mission.
