New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of British stocks, typically moving 7.8% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Buy Or Sell Opportunity • Mar 31

PolyPeptide Group AG Achieves Significant Milestone in Malmo Expansion Project PolyPeptide Group AG announced the successful delivery and installation of pre-built modules at its Malmo, Sweden facility. This marks a key milestone in the company's modular expansion project at the site, which aims to double its solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) capacity. The expansion, first announced in January 2025, is a central component of PolyPeptide's mid-term strategy to meet rising global demand for peptide production. The EUR 100 million metabolic program investment was largely funded by a large pharmaceutical partner and will create around 100 permanent new positions. It is anticipated that the expansion will be significantly faster than previous engineering projects due to the modular construction approach. Following installation, the modules will now undergo mechanical completion and automation, followed by qualification and commissioning. Key Project Highlights: Accelerated timeline: The Malmo capacity expansion is on track to be faster than previous engineering expansions due to the modular approach. Strategic partnership: The EUR 100 million investment was largely funded by a largest pharmaceutical player. Modular construction: Pre-built manufacturing modules installed with proprietary manufacturing systems, delivered and installed on-site. Operational continuity: Existing manufacturing operations remain uninterrupted. Advanced technology: Integrated engineering, automation, and process control. Quality assurance: All modules built to meet stringent pharmaceutical GMP standards. The additional capacity will primarily support one of PolyPeptide's large commercial agreements, contributing to its long-term growth initiatives and capital deployment strategy. As communicated in its mid-term outlook, the company expects over the mid-term horizon and on average, capital expenditures of 15-20% of revenue to ensure capacity beyond 2028.
