Knowledge Automation. Knowledge Automation and Data platform HIRO&trade;, developed by arago, takes a unique approach to process automation
by using AI to autonomously and independently determine how to complete and then automate end-to-end tasks based on real time contextual

collectible and luxury market under the brand name&nbsp;WISe.ART (https://www.wise.art).</B> <FONT STYLE="background-color: white">The
global market for non-fungible tokens (NFTs) surged to new highs in the second quarter of 2021, with $2.5 billion in sales so far this
year, up from just $13.7 million in the first half of 2020, as marketplace data showed. Although the NFT market decreased last month,
it is expected to surge again especially on the high-end NFT market which is the market segment where the WISe.ART platform operates.</FONT>
WISeKey&rsquo;s WISe.ART NFT platform follows a series of market tests &ndash; selling high value NFTs and testing the appetite of the
art and collectible community &ndash; and incorporates the needs of this exclusive and high-volume&nbsp;marketplace.&nbsp; Following the
needs of buyers and sellers of high-value goods the&nbsp;WISe.ART&nbsp;platform evolves the original collection of&nbsp;WISe.Art&nbsp;and
is a fully fledged marketplace with its own digital currency, the ability to include curators and multipliers, white-labeling options
and a special NFT design.&nbsp; The NFT design of the&nbsp;WISe.ART&nbsp;platform ensures that besides an authenticated and signed version
of the actual digital asset, an irreversible link to a physical object is set up, in addition to proof of ownership, provenance and a
set of contracts describing future use and monetization streams. NFTs and platform are secured by&nbsp;WISeKey&rsquo;s various security
technologies enabling the authentication of physical objects as well as digital assets in a safe end-to-end process.&nbsp; The&nbsp;WISe.ART&nbsp;platform
allows trading of NFTs into&nbsp;WISeKey&rsquo;s&nbsp;own&nbsp;TrustECoin cryptocurrency, enabling market participants to stay anonymous
&ndash; if they so&nbsp;choose&nbsp;&ndash; while ensuring the necessary KYC processes to avoid&nbsp;unwanted activity on the marketplace.&nbsp;</FONT></TD></TR></TABLE>

We are quickly recovering from the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic which resulted in a global slowdown of the semiconductors
market and <FONT STYLE="color: #202124; background-color: white">global manufacturing shortage due to substantial swings in demand. We
are now seeing higher demand for semiconductors especially in areas such as advanced vehicles such as connected vehicles and drones. We
have renewed and signed new agreements on semiconductors and/or AI Automation with leading global companies such as CISCO, SAP, Parrot,
Legic, Accenture, Dentsu, </FONT>Ineltek, Ismosys, Exaware, Neoris, <FONT STYLE="color: #202124; background-color: white">etc.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">As anticipated, Cybersecurity companies like WISeKey
with strong technology-IP assets, are recovering much faster from the current crisis due to the ability to diversify sales from Semiconductors
to Cybersecurity or AI/Automation. Overall, continued adoption of IoT technologies connected to secure clouds, AI and ultimately 5G, will
be tremendous catalysts for cybersecurity companies given the related risk of adoption.</P>

&hellip;. the global IoT security market is expected to grow from $12.5&nbsp;billion in 2020 to $36.6 billion in 2025, at an annual rate

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Indeed, these massively deployed connected objects
face regular attacks, hence generating a large need for trusted end-to end cybersecurity solutions. The increasing AI and IoT convergence
is one of the primary factors driving the growth. Over the past five years, a rapid surge in the adoption of AIoT cloud services has been
witnessed. It is driven by its capabilities to provide an enterprise-wide array of resources they can utilize to scale, orchestrate, and
support their operations.</P>
