EK admits fault for financial issues facing employees and business partners: 'We are committed to fulfilling our financial obligations and regaining your trust'

pcgamer.com:

Update: EK's current CEO and founder, Edvard König, has published a statement on the financial issues claimed by contractors, business partners and employees of the liquid cooling company. In which, König admits to delayed payments and a lack of communication, and outlines some corrective measures to attempt to address issues brought to light by various people and outlets.

König suggests that some issues have been rectified since he took over as CEO in February. However, this doesn't appear to have been clear to any of the contractors, suppliers or employees spoken to by Gamers Nexus over the weekend, which suggests there really is a «considerable distance to go», as König mentions in the full statement below.

Here's the full statement from Edvard König, EK's CEO and founder:

Dear Community, Media, and Partners,

First of all, I would like to say that we take this very seriously. It is true that some of EK’s external contractors and business partners have experienced delayed payments. We sincerely apologize for the difficulties this has caused them and the lack of adequate communication.

In February 2024, I, Edvard König, resumed the CEO position to return EK to its respected path. Several issues have already been addressed, including the amended filing of US taxes. We have realigned our focuses while our vision and strategic orientations have remained unchanged. There is still a considerable distance to go, and we immediately began by implementing the following key actions:

We appreciate the patience and understanding of our community, customers, and partners during this time. We are committed to fulfilling our financial obligations and regaining your trust. Our mission to elevate computers for a better world remains at the forefront of our focus as we move forward.
