REC Silicon ASA Ceasing of Production at Moses Lake, Washington Facility and Transitioning to Pure-Play Silicon Gas Producer REC Silicon ASA announced that it is ceasing production at its Moses Lake, Washington facility. Production of polysilicon will be discontinued at the Moses Lake facility, while equipment involved in production of silicon gases will be maintained in a safe and recoverable mode that incurs minimal interim costs, allowing the unit to restart with reasonable notice. This will give the Company the flexibility to capitalize on future customer demand for Silicon Anode or other gases while minimizing near-term operational costs. This announcement follows the Company's decision to shut down polysilicon production at its Butte, Montana facility in February 2024. Once the shutdown process at the Moses Lake facility is complete, REC Silicon will have completely discontinued the production of polysilicon at both facilities. Moving forward, REC Silicon will focus its business efforts on silicon gases where the Company has clear strength, market positioning, and product differentiation. The Company is prioritizing driving costs out of its silicon gas assets and optimizing production, with a goal to return to profitability. Production Issues at the Moses Lake Facility: The shutdown of the Moses Lake facility follows numerous, previously disclosed efforts to improve the level of some key impurities that resulted primarily from the post-reactor product finishing and handling systems. Initiatives included changing contact materials, procedures, operating conditions and parameters, passivation measures and bypassing equipment; and bringing in third-party resources to assist in evaluating and mitigating the situation. However, the Company was unsuccessful in its attempts to fully rectify the issues and ultimately received an unsuccessful qualification test, as announced on December 17, 2024. After further discussion with its customer, the customer is not able to wait any longer for delivery of product that consistently meets the requirements at the correct levels and can be delivered at the needed volumes. There are currently no other customers in the USA and limited customers outside of China, all of which are not options at this time due to product quality, market and contract conditions and timing of potential need. The Company and its customer are therefore now in advanced discussions regarding the cancellation of its contract, including the elimination of any penalties and a deferral of the repayment of the initial pre-payment. The company will provide more information as it is available. REC Silicon immediately began a review of strategic options to address financial and operational challenges, including additional operational adjustments, contractual re-negotiations, financing options, and other mitigative actions. That review has yielded the following conclusions: Given the high fixed costs involved in operating the facility and uncertainty related to the timing and quantifiable success of further improvements in its product handling process, as well as the available customer base, a shutdown of the Moses Lake facility is the best way to maintain strategic optionality and financial flexibility. The Company sought additional financing options for support during this period of transition and to fund the shutdown process and the Company announced that it is in advanced discussions with its largest shareholder regarding a potential short-term loan. In keeping with its long relationships and significant continuing presence in the semiconductor materials supply chain, the company will execute the shutdown in a manner that balances the best interests of all stakeholders. The Company expects the shutdown of the Moses Lake facility to start immediately and could take about three months and that the workforce in Moses Lake, along with some other employees who support the Moses Lake business line, will be reduced accordingly. The Company will provide additional information to impacted stakeholders as it becomes available. Aankondiging • Dec 23

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 German stocks, typically moving 6.9% 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.

New major risk - Financial position The company's debt is not well covered by operating cash flow. Currently running at an operating cash loss. This is considered a major risk. If the company's operating cash flows are too small relative to the size of their debt, it increases their balance sheet risk. The company has less cash from operations to cover its expenses from servicing large debt and it increases the risk of liquidity issues. It also extends the time it would take for the company to pay back the debt in full, meaning it may not be able to easily pay it all off in a distress scenario. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (currently running at an operating cash loss).

The latest REC TwinPeak features a new cell structure design and higher power output than its predecessor. Like all REC panels, it is eligible for the comprehensive REC ProTrust warranty package. The REC TwinPeak 4 Series goes into production in May 2021 with deliveries possible from July/August onwards. The new REC TwinPeak 4 improves on the strengths that have made the TwinPeak family such a success, including REC's pioneering Twin Design, which has won multiple awards since its introduction back in 2014. Available in both white and black backsheet variants, the REC TwinPeak 4 Series features a newly designed cell structure, multi-busbar connection, as well as improved nominal power output of up to 375 watt-peak from its 120 half-cut monocrystalline p-type cells. With the same 30 mm frame and support bars already proven in the REC N-Peak and REC Alpha solar panels, the latest REC TwinPeak can now withstand higher loads of +7000 Pa, enabling it to offer best-in-class performance in tough rooftop conditions. The REC TwinPeak 4 Series is eligible for the comprehensive REC ProTrust warranty package, including 25-year warranty on the product, performance and labor, subject to conditions. In addition, the new solar panel comes with an improved power warranty of just 2% maximum power degradation in the first year of operation and 0.5% per year thereafter until year 25, making the REC TwinPeak 4 Series an even more attractive choice.
