New Risk • Jan 01
New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 20% 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 Risk Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (34% average weekly change). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (kr3.5m net loss in 3 years). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (20% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$100m (€13.7m market cap, or US$16.1m). Announcement • Oct 31

Impact Coatings Launches Premium FC Coating for Heavy Duty Applications Impact Coatings has launched a next generation premium fuel cell (FC) coating for heavy duty applications. The new premium FC coating offers enhanced properties and protection for anode and cathode metal plates in LT-PEM FC stacks. The coating is currently available as job coating at the company's Coating Service Center in China. During the last decades, focus on ways of leaving fossil fuel-based powertrains has increased. Electrical vehicles transferring hydrogen into electricity in fuel cells have become increasingly interesting for OEMs to pursue, especially for long distances and heavy-duty applications. The most common technology in this field is the LT-PEM (Low Temperature Proton-Exchange Membrane or Polymer Electrolyte Membrane) based fuel cell system. LT-PEM fuel cells rely on anode and cathode plates arranged in the fuel cell stack, plates that are either made of metal or graphite. From a production point of view metal plates are the emerging solution, due to the higher power density, and to lower cost, size and weight. To assure a long lifetime and efficiency in the stack's challenging environment, a surface treatment, such as PVD coating, is necessary. During recent years heavy-duty applications have been driving an increasing demand for components that can withstand higher voltages without degradation of the protective coating. To meet this demand, Impact Coatings has developed and introduced the new premium FC coating in the group's fuel cell coating portfolio. The coating is currently offered as job coating to best support customer needs in verification stages. Impact Coatings' new robust premium FC coating mitigates metal ion leakage into the fuel cell stack at potentials up to 1.6 V. Leaking metal ions damage the stack membranes, reducing both stack life and performance. With the new, premium FC coating, which offers good adhesion and electrical conductivity, as well as stable and low contact resistance, the stack's performance will be maintained throughout the stack's lifetime.

Impact Coatings Introduces High Volume System for Metal Plate Coatings At F-Cell Stuttgart At f-cell - The Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Conference and Trade Fair - in Stuttgart October 4-5, Impact Coatings introduces a next generation coating system for volume production of metal plates for fuel cells and electrolyzers. The new coating system is named INLINECOATERTM IC2000. The first unit is now on display for customers at Impact Coatings in Linköping, Sweden, while undergoing process qualification for PEM fuel cell metal plates ahead of product launch. Hydrogen is one of the key solutions to phase out fossil fuels in society, including in the energy and mobility sectors. This means that demand for manufacturing volumes of hydrogen fuel cells and electrolyzers has increased and is expected to continue growing rapidly during this decade. Automotive OEMs and major component suppliers are among the leaders scaling the new hydrogen industry, primarily using proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells for transport applications. To achieve optimal stack performance, separator plates of metal with efficient coatings are in focus as core components for both fuel cells and electrolyzers. The new INLINECOATERTM IC2000 is built upon the same proven system architecture. It is scaled to provide increased productivity, coating up to 3 million PEM fuel cell plates per year, depending on parameters like plate size, coating type and thickness, working days and shifts. The IC2000 system iscompact, with a footprint of only 6.2 x 2.2 meters. It has fewer critical components, such as vacuum pumps and power supplies, than traditional large scale industry solutions. Installing additional coating systems is easy as production scales up, resulting in high reliability through redundancy and cost- efficient volume manufacturing of the critical metal plate components. Impact Coatings is a center of expertise and a leading provider of coating solutions for metal plates to customers globally, with fuel cell coating development starting over fifteen years ago. The company's Ceramic MAXPHASETM noble metal-free coating for PEM fuel cell plates has almost a decade of field qualification in automotive applications. Today, the company continues its work with customers oncoating development to meet coming market needs for both fuel cells and electrolyzers. Reported Earnings • Aug 20
