Mr. Cegielski has agreed to stay involved with the Company as an advisor to ensure a smooth transition period. Additionally, Mr. Sam Mithani, CTO, has stepped down from his position as Board member. Dr. Jason Dyck, currently on the Company's scientific advisory board and Ms. Archer have been appointed to the Company's board.

Terry Booth, Chairman of the Board, commented, 'Since inception, Adam and Sam have worked hard to develop an integrated technology portfolio to put Binovi on pole position in the burgeoning vision therapy space. With this herculean effort behind us and the Company's solutions gaining significant traction across their target markets, it was felt that a leadership change was required to guide Binovi as it expands its commercial operations. Tania, who has been with the company for a little over two years now, has proven herself as an exceptional talent in terms of sales, marketing, operational leadership, and we are very pleased she has agreed to take on the role as Interim CEO. The board will now initiate the process towards appointing a permanent CEO, as well as implement certain changes we consider as key to strengthen our governance.'

Ms. Archer currently appointed of Interim CEO, also holds the appointment of Interim COO, managing the day-to-day, operations of Binovi, including Global Marketing and Strategic Partnership oversight. Archer joined the company in 2019. Before that, she has held leadership roles within the Archer Investment Group, Waddell and Reed, SwimEx and CBS Outdoor, in which she was integral in the activation of initiatives designed to drive growth. Tania's contributions to Binovi have resulted in a more than doubling of Q3 2020 revenues , as well as the continued growth into Q4 despite the significant impact from pandemic-related issues. Ms. Archer has secured partnerships with the Dallas Stars (NHL), Sporting Kanas City (MLS), KU Jayhawks Football (NCAA), Eli Wilson Goaltending (Hockey), Oklahoma State Baseball (NCAA) and the Babe Ruth League on Binovi's behalf. Ms. Archer is an Athlete Alumni of the University of Alabama, Canadian Olympic Team Trialist and Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal Recipient.

Ms. Archer added,' I am honored and excited to take on this new role and help guide the Company as we accelerate growth and expansion. Binovi is uniquely positioned to capitalize on numerous revenue generating opportunities in a market where momentum is driving a rapidly growing interest in vision therapy solutions. Our unique end-to-end platform provides Binovi with the go-to solution to help the huge number of people suffering from vision issues beyond acuity. As well, our technology can provide athletes with the 1-2% edge that makes the difference between winning and losing. Finally, our efforts in the educational space are geared towards making a change in the life of millions of children whose chances in life are impacted negatively through their vision related reading difficulties. The study Dr. Stoddard, who is on our scientific advisory board, is about to commence with an Alberta school board, we believe, will identify the clear correlation between visual issues, reading ability and the positive impact of the Binovi system, opening a vast market for our solutions. We will be able to leverage these findings and engage more fully with the many educational institutions we are in talks with. In the meanwhile, we will focus on completing our internal reorganization and implement the structures needed to carry our growth and properly service our expanding customer base.'

Mr. Booth concluded, 'In the interim, I will work closely with the board and management team to complete our internal reorganization and more closely align our structure and staffing with our initiatives in optometry, sports and education, with a laser focus on accelerating revenue growth. Binovi has a powerful opportunity to unlock human potential in so many areas related to the visual system and neuroscience. We are pleased Adam has agreed to remain available to the Company as an advisor. We wish him well in his future endeavors.'
