Svante Technologies Inc. and Mercer International Inc. Advance Carbon Capture Project At Alberta Pulp Mill Svante Technologies Inc. announced that its joint carbon capture and storage project with Mercer International Inc. (Mercer) has advanced to the Front-end Engineering and Design Phase 2 (FEL-2). Also known as Pre-FEED, this phase involves engineering, cost estimation, and risk analysis to evaluate the project's commercial viability. Mercer is a global producer of sustainably sourced forest products, including pulp, lumber, mass timber, biomass-based green energy, and bioextractives. The carbon capture project targets biogenic CO2 emissions from Mercer's Peace River pulp mill, where the biomass (fibre) is sourced from sustainably managed forests. Advancing to the Pre-FEED stage will support further development of the integrated design, cost estimates, and risk assessments--key steps toward a final investment decision and potential implementation. This milestone reflects the growing momentum for carbon capture solutions within Canada's pulp and paper sector. Svante's second-generation carbon capture technology is engineered for commercial-scale deployment in industrial environments such as pulp mills-- settings where integration must be cost-effective, modular, and resilient to operational variability. As decarbonization efforts intensify across heavy industry, this project offers a timely opportunity to demonstrate how advanced capture systems can be applied within existing infrastructure. At the core of Svante's solution is its structured sorbent filter system, which uses solid materials coated with metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)--nanomaterials specifically designed to capture CO2 molecules selectively to selectively capture CO2 molecules. These filters represent a meaningful evolution over earlier carbon capture systems, offering reduced energy requirements and broader industrial applicability. Svante's technology also provides: Robust Particulate Handling: Structured adsorbent filters are highly resistant to particulate fouling, ensuring consistent performance in challenging pulp mill environments. Environmentally Responsible Design: Materials are free from toxic emissions and degradation byproducts. The company's sorbent-based filters are designed to be recyclable, minimizing environmental impact. Rapid Response to Operational Fluctuations: Svante's rapid capture process adapts quickly to intermittent operations, eliminating the need for onsite liquid solvent storage and makeup. Compact and Modular Design: Minimizes capture plant vertical footprint and vertical visual impact, offering significant benefits for site integration. Additional Project Highlights: Leveraging Clean Power Production from the Mercer Peace River Mill: The project's energy requirements will be met by low-carbon electricity generated onsite, with recovered waste heat further increasing the net CO2 emissions avoided. Sustainably Sourced Fibre: The mill sources its fibre from sustainably managed forests certified to SFI. Permanent and Safe CO2 Storage Within Alberta's Abundant Sequestration Resource: Alberta has proven, abundant geologic reservoirs--formations capable of securely storing CO2--supported by a government-enabled regulatory framework that includes robust permitting processes and liability management tools.

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 7.7% 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. 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). Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Paying a dividend despite being loss-making. Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Earnings have declined by 18% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (7.7% average weekly change). Recent Insider Transactions • Sep 06

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 14% 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 Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (currently running at an operating cash loss). Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Paying a dividend despite being loss-making. Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows.

Mercer International Inc. Provides Update on Fire At Mercer Stendal Pulp Mill Mercer International Inc. provided the following update to its press release of July 1, 2022 regarding a fire which occurred in the wood chip storage area at Stendal pulp mill. Currently, the fire has been primarily extinguished but as is customary in such cases, the site will be monitored for hot spots for several more days. The fire did not damage the mill operations and the damage appears to have been confined to the wood chip storage bunkers and associated conveying systems. The Company will, as permitted by site monitoring measures, conduct a more formal detailed assessment of damage and required repairs and develop a restart plan. Until such assessment and plan, there can be no assurance as to when the mill will recommence operations. The Company maintains property and business interruption insurance for the Stendal pulp mill and expect the property damage and business interruption will be covered by such insurance, subject to customary deductibles and limits.
