New Risk • Oct 24
New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: €8.66m (US$9.34m) This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Shares are highly illiquid. Earnings have declined by 43% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m (kr2.1m revenue, or US$188k). Market cap is less than US$10m (€8.66m market cap, or US$9.34m). Minor Risk Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (38% increase in shares outstanding). Reported Earnings • Sep 22

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 25% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Shares are highly illiquid. Earnings have declined by 46% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Latest financial reports are more than 6 months old (reported September 2023 fiscal period end). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (25% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$5m (kr12m revenue, or US$1.1m). Market cap is less than US$100m (€30.2m market cap, or US$32.6m). New Risk • Jun 16

Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-kr130m free cash flow). Shares are highly illiquid. Earnings have declined by 46% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Latest financial reports are more than 6 months old (reported September 2023 fiscal period end). Revenue is less than US$5m (kr12m revenue, or US$1.1m). Market cap is less than US$100m (€23.7m market cap, or US$25.4m). New Risk • Mar 03
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 46% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-kr130m free cash flow). Shares are highly illiquid. Earnings have declined by 46% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Revenue is less than US$5m (kr12m revenue, or US$1.1m). Market cap is less than US$100m (€34.1m market cap, or US$36.9m).

TECO 2030 ASA Launches its Zero Emissions Operation Concept TECO 2030 ASA has launched its Zero Emissions Operation Concept, which will enable ships to sail in and out of ports emissions-free by exchanging one or more of their engines with a TECO Marine Fuel Cell. The TECO 2030 Zero Emissions Operation Concept will make it possible for vessels operating in different countries, such as cruise ships and ferries, to comply with any emissions regulations they may encounter when crossing national borders. Many governments are taking concrete action to lower greenhouse gas emissions, such as by introducing laws that ban ships running on fossil fuels from operating in its waters. This is for example the case in Norway, where by 2026, only cruise ships and ferries operating on zero emission will be allowed entry into several of the Norwegian fjords. TECO 2030 can deliver hydrogen fuel cell stacks ranging in size between 400 kW to 25 MW, meaning they can ensure steady operation regardless of the size of the engine they replace. Hydrogen fuel cells are like batteries that do not need to be charged. They produce electricity and heat, and function almost the same way as normal combustion engines but use hydrogen instead of traditional fossil fuels such as diesel and petrol. When using hydrogen produced from renewable energy - so-called green hydrogen - ships can cut their greenhouse gas emissions to zero, as hydrogen only emits water vapour and warm air. This means that ships can become emissions-free by switching from fossil fuels to green hydrogen. Announcement • Mar 05
