Changes planned in the Management Board and the Supervisory Board of Hepsor
A proposal is made to the General Meeting of Shareholders of Hepsor AS (hereinafter 'Hepsor') that the current Chairman of the Management Board, Henri Laks, would join the Supervisory Board of the company. The new candidate for the Member of the Management Board is the current Latvian Country Manager, Martti Krass. Henri Laks is one of the founders of Hepsor AS and has been the Member of the Management Board of various companies in the Hepsor Group since 2011. Laks has been active in the field of real estate development since 2004. Over the past 14 years, Hepsor has grown into one of the largest companies in the field of real estate development in Estonia and Latvia, and in 2023, it expanded to the Canadian market. Under the management of Laks, Hepsor was listed on the stock exchange in 2021 and became a part of the Baltic Main List of the Nasdaq Tallinn Stock Exchange. On 25 April 2025, he notified the Supervisory Board of Hepsor of his request to resign from the position of the Member of the Management Board. The Supervisory Board responded to the notification of Laks with a proposal to continue working as the Chairman of the Supervisory Board from 1 August and to add the relevant item to the agenda of the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on 21 May 2025. According to the initial proposal of the Supervisory Board, the new candidate for the position of the Member of the Management Board of the company is Martti Krass, who has worked in Hepsor since 2014 as the Project Manager and later as the Latvian Country Manager. 'Every organisation needs a fresh view and change from time to time. Nearly 15 years has been a long enough time to be the driving force of Hepsor. For me, it is time to hand on the torch for the next development cycle of Hepsor to my dear colleague who knows our company through and through, and has good knowledge of the field,' Laks said. Laks added: 'I believe that now is the best time for change, as the last five years have been a turbulent and crisis-ridden time in the economy, including in the real estate sector, which is now showing signs of calming down, and the real estate market, on the other hand, offers new growth opportunities.' Lauri Meidla, who has so far been the Member of the Supervisory Board, has expressed his wish to leave the Supervisory Board, which is why the relevant item will also be added to the agenda of the Annual General Meeting. Andres Pärloja and Kristjan Mitt will continue as the Members of the Supervisory Board. 'My wish is to continue working on a strategic level so that I can contribute to the long-term development of Hepsor and support the company where my experience is most valuable,' Laks confirmed. 'Under Henri's long-term and dedicated leadership, Hepsor has gone through a remarkable path of development and grown into a strong and innovation-oriented company. We are glad that we can also build on his experience and knowledge at the level of the Supervisory Board. We are grateful for what has been done and wish continued enthusiasm to contribute to the future of Hepsor together,' the Member of the Supervisory Board, Andres Pärloja, commented. The planned changes will take effect in accordance with the resolution of the Supervisory Board and the General Meeting of Shareholders.

UAE: Suffering from migraines? This free app helps you track triggers, manage pain
For people suffering from migraines, life and productivity often come to a halt until the pain subsides. While some rely on medication for relief, others turn to rest. However, identifying triggers and managing migraine episodes remains a challenge for most sufferers. To address this, Estonian entrepreneur Katrina Laks, herself a long-time migraine sufferer, has developed a digital solution to help patients monitor their condition and improve their quality of life. She introduced Migrevention, a digital headache clinic, at Arab Health 2025, showcasing its potential to transform migraine management. Tracking migraine 'In the UAE, around 1.5 million people suffer from migraines, yet 90 percent remain undiagnosed,' said Laks. 'Most people don't track their symptoms or triggers, making it difficult to manage their condition. With this app, users can log their episodes, analyse patterns, and take proactive steps to reduce their impact.' The app enables patients to record symptoms, monitor pain frequency and intensity, and identify potential triggers like stress, diet, or environmental factors. 'When a patient logs their symptoms consistently, they can recognise patterns over time,' said Laks. 'Whether it's work-related stress, cheese consumption, or environmental conditions, the app helps users make informed lifestyle adjustments to reduce their migraine episodes.' She said that the goal is to empower patients with knowledge about their own health. 'When they can see clear data about their migraines, they feel more in control and less anxious about unpredictable attacks.' One of the key features is its integration with healthcare professionals. 'Doctors often struggle to get a complete picture of a patient's migraine history,' said Laks. 'With this app, patients can present well-documented data, making medical consultations more efficient and effective.' Beyond tracking migraines, the app offers a telemedicine feature where users can consult medical practitioners. While the app itself is free, specialist consultations are available at a charge, ensuring access to expert advice when needed. The developers believe technology can significantly improve the lives of migraine sufferers. 'By using a data-driven approach, we are helping people minimise their pain, regain productivity, and ultimately live better lives,' said Laks. With migraines affecting over a billion people worldwide, such solutions offer hope. 'Managing migraines is not just about treating pain, it's about preventing it. With the right tools, we can help people take control of their health,' she added.
