SSAB Pauses Work At Construction Site In Luleå Due To Detection Of Low Levels Of Hydrogen Cyanide SSAB had once again paused work at the construction site for its new steel mill in Luleå after personal gas detectors registered low levels of hydrogen cyanide. The detected levels have not exceeded applicable occupational exposure limits and are not considered to pose any risk to personnel on site. No work will resume until the situation has been investigated and deemed safe. Work was first paused on April 3 after several people experienced symptoms of illness. The site was gradually reopened from May 27 following a root cause analysis that concluded the symptoms were caused by dust in combination with respiratory viruses and weather conditions. The analysis was based on an extensive program of soil samples, soil gas samples and gas measurements, none of which identified any measured gases that could be linked to the symptoms. SSAB will now, together with external experts, assess how the existing measurement program can be expanded - including measurements under production-like conditions with the required personal protective equipment - and carry out additional analyses to investigate this new information. The pause applies to the areas where gas detector readings have been registered, as well as adjacent areas where groundworks are being carried out. Further information will be provided when additional measurement results and analyses are available. SSAB's current assessment is that the paused work will not have any material impact on the project's overall schedule or budget. Duyuru • Apr 23

SSAB Receives Financing from EU and Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth SSAB is granted SEK 1.45 billion in the framework of the Just Transition Fund, an EU fund that in Sweden includes support to the transition of the steel industry in Norrbotten. The funding will contribute to the transformation to fossil-free steel production of SSAB's operations in Luleå, a technology shift that will significantly reduce Sweden's carbon dioxide emissions. SSAB plans to decommission the current coal and blast furnace-based production system in Luleå in favor of a state-of-the-art fossil-free mini-mill with electric arc furnaces and rolling complexes. This will reduce Sweden's CO2 emissions by 7% in addition to the 3% from the conversion of SSAB's steel plant in Oxelösund. Startup of the new mill in Luleå is planned at the end of 2028 with full capacity in 2029, while startup of the new electric arc furnace in Oxelösund is expected toward the end of 2026. The investments are mainly funded with SSAB's own cash flow. The Just Transition Fund is an EU fund that focuses on industries and regions with high carbon dioxide emissions. The fund will help reduce emissions and tackle the challenges created by the transition. In Sweden's national program for the Just Transition Fund, the eligible sectors are the steel, metal and cement industries. The steel industry in Norrbotten was pinpointed as one of three industries that could be awarded the funds. On October 21, 2024, the European Commission announced that it had approved a Swedish measure to support SSAB through the Just Transition Fund. On December 4, 2024, the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth, which administers the fund in Sweden, announced that SSAB is granted SEK 1.45 billion in EU funding and national co-financing. SSAB has previously been granted nearly SEK 38.6 million from the same fund for SSAB Academy, a pilot program for employee competence development in Luleå. Duyuru • Dec 03

SSAB Launches World's First Emission-Free Steel Powder SSAB is launching the world's first emission-free steel powder for commercial deliveries, made of recycled SSAB Zero® steel. The product will create opportunities for customers to 3D-print their unique designs in steel produced without fossil carbon dioxide emissions. The powder combines the properties of SSAB's high-strength steel with the light structural possibilities of 3D-printing. The production of steel is a large source of CO2 emissions when it comes to 3D-printing of steel products. By pulverizing SSAB's emission-free steel with fossil-free energy sources only, the carbon dioxide emissions from the steelmaking are reduced to virtually zero. Last year, SSAB launched its first conventional steel powder to the market, SSAB AM Engineering, and now the portfolio is expanded with SSAB AM Tough Zero®. SSAB will also be able to offer its unique fossil-free steel, based on HYBRIT technology, as a powder in limited volumes. In 2020, SSAB in Oxelösund invested in a steel powder production facility to produce premium advanced high-strength steel powder for additive manufacturing, also known as 3D-printing, as a complement to SSAB's regular steel offering. Steel powder is ideally suited for limited series of tailormade components or spare parts requiring high structural integrity and optimal functionality. It can be used in a wide variety of industries, from consumer goods to heavy machinery to automotive and more. SSAB has already provided prototype fossil-free steel powder to selected customers. In 2023, HT Laser 3D-printed the first fossil-free steel component suitable for a forest machine, and mining company Epiroc revealed a prototype hydraulic block for a rock drill in conventional steel powder and said it was exploring the possibility of using fossil-free powder. In 2022, Triwa launched the first consumer product made with fossil-free steel powder - a watch. To make powder, molten steel tailored for 3D-printing is broken up by high pressurized atomization gas, creating small spherical droplets which are solidified into powder. The steel powder is also produced using only fossil-free energy sources. Duyuru • Mar 19
