Q: Can you go into detail on what type of activities are ongoing in Moses Lake and what is the reason for the negative cash flow coming out of Moses Lake? A: The negative cash flow from Moses Lake, approximately $3.9 million in the quarter, is necessary to sustain safe and reliable operations. Moses Lake is maintained in a state that allows for recovery of operations when needed, which will require more activity and costs to fully ramp up. Current costs include labor, energy, and other contractual inputs, which we are working to optimize.

Q: Is the rights issue the only financing solution, or what alternatives have been considered? A: The company assessed various financing solutions and concluded that a fully underwritten rights issue was the only executable option within the necessary timeframe. This approach preserves equal treatment of shareholders and stabilizes the company’s financial position.

Q: If Hanwa increases its ownership as a result of the rights issue, does the board expect a mandatory offer to be triggered? A: Management does not have an understanding of whether a mandatory offer will be triggered or what Hanwa intends to do following the completion of the rights issue.

Story Continues  

Q: Can you provide details on the recent information from the Norwegian courts? A: We are complying with the requirements set by the Norwegian courts, with a response due by February 12th.

Q: Following the rights issue, will REC Silicon be fully funded for 2026? A: REC Silicon does not have sufficient available cash to meet debt service and other anticipated operating cash flow requirements without continued support from our major shareholder, Hanwa, or additional capital sources.
