Foods® Shares a Message of Resilience,
Commitment and Progress from CEO, Arik Kaufman
The letter highlights 2023 achievements
and assures
Steakholders of the company’s commitment and resilience
Rehovot, Israel, Oct.
20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Steakholder Foods Ltd. (Nasdaq: STKH), an international deep-tech food company at the forefront
of the cultivated meat industry, shares a letter from CEO, Arik Kaufman - a message of resilience, commitment and progress:
Dear Steakholder,
I hope this letter finds you in good health and spirits
amidst these challenging times.
Recent events in Israel have profoundly affected us as a
community of individuals who care deeply about our homeland and its people. The horrific loss and ongoing unrest have touched our hearts,
and our condolences continue to go out to every family impacted.
Israel has always been a source of initiative, hope and
innovation, and we continue to draw strength from our heritage and commitment to the values we uphold. In this light, I wanted to personally
reach out to assure you of Steakholder Foods’ undaunted resilience and tenacity. While the emotional weight of this moment is undeniable,
our team has displayed unparalleled dedication, channeling their energy and passion into advancing our company’s mission and growth
objectives. While a small number of employees are bravely taking part in homeland defense, neither this nor any other aspect of the current
conflict has had a substantial impact on our operations.
In the face of 2023’s external challenges, Steakholder Foods
is unwavering in its pursuit of excellence and innovation. We solidified our B2B approach through a significant partnership with a Persian
Gulf governmental entity, setting the stage for our entry into new markets and intensifying our R&D and commercialization agendas.
Alongside this, we raised $12.5 million from two offerings, fueling our ambitious corporate trajectory.
Our technological prowess and forward momentum was notably
evident this year. Leading the charge, we realized a groundbreaking achievement with our 3D-bioprinted, ready-to-cook cultivated fish,
creating multiple opportunities for strategic partnerships, especially in the sphere of bio-ink development. This was complemented by
a vital upgrade to our printer, design to boost our manufacturing and commercialization capabilities.

Furthermore, we launched
our state-of-the-art Light CAD Editor, heralding a new era of 3D model customization. We also filed a provisional patent for our immortal
bovine cell line, which stands to be a linchpin in our transition to commercial-scale cultivated meat production. Adding another feather
to our cap, our AI-Powered Nozzle Inspection System ensures that our 3D printing process remains unparalleled in precision. Concluding
our technological strides, the introduction of SH Beef Steak Ink, synergized with our fusion printer technology, is poised to set new
benchmarks in the cultivated meat domain.
Each of these milestones signal our shift from a primarily
R&D orientation to robust commercial readiness, with an eye on redefining the future of the cultivated meat industry.
I recognize that as our valued investors, you have placed
your trust and resources in our vision. It is my promise to you that we will continue to push forward, innovate, and drive value, even
in these turbulent times. Our operations are ongoing, our goals remain clear, and our commitment to excellence and business success is
unwavering. We remain steadfast in our mission to provide exceptional products to our customers and value to our investors.
Finally, I want to thank you for your continued belief in
Steakholder Foods. It is through collective strength and mutual support that we will navigate this period, as we do all that we can to
ensure a promising future for our company and its stakeholders. Let us continue to believe in better days ahead, where peace and prosperity
will prevail.
Thank you for your understanding, patience and unwavering
support.
Yours truly,
Arik Kaufman CEO, Steakholder Foods
