BW Ideol continues to make good progress in executing its dual-leg strategy as

co-developer of floating wind projects and as EPCI contractor of floating wind

technology by maturing ongoing projects and adding new opportunities to the

project pipeline.

Offshore wind is set to play a vital role in enabling decarbonation of energy

systems and ensuring energy security. On 24 April, nine European countries

signed the Ostend Declaration, aiming to jointly produce at least 120 gigawatts

of offshore wind energy by 2030 and at least 300 gigawatts by 2050 in the North

Sea. The declaration also covers the Atlantic Ocean, Celtic Sea and Irish Sea,

where the nine signatories will endeavour to accelerate deployment of offshore

renewables and connectivity in these areas.

"The broad political support and a significant increase European ambitions

reflect that a growing number of nations consider offshore wind as a key

contributor to energy transition and security. This is aligned with our

conviction that floating wind will be one of the main enabling technologies,"

said Paul de la Guérivière, the CEO of BW Ideol. "We are making good progress

across our project portfolio at the forefront of this development and are very

pleased to establish a long-term partnership with ADEME Investissement and

strengthen the financial platform for execution of our strategy in the current

turbulent financial markets."

At the end of March 2023, BW Ideol had 1 GW of projects under development and

approximately 5.1 GW of substantiated pipeline of projects. Business development

activity is high as nations and corporations seek ways to decarbonise various

industry value chains. This is reflected in four feasibility studies for oil and

gas companies for creating a framework for power-to-platform projects in

cooperation with BW Offshore. BW Ideol is well positioned to contribute to the

energy transition at scale as a leading project developer and technology

provider with a unique platform for execution of offshore floating wind

developments.

FUNDING

0n 22 March, BW Ideol and ADEME Investissement, a state-owned French financier

of innovative infrastructure projects, announced exclusive negotiations related

to EUR 40 million of equity funding of BW Ideol's project development

activities. Under the agreed terms, BW Ideol will transfer its co-development

project portfolio to a newly created subsidiary BW Ideol Projects Company,

subject to approval of projects partners and tendering authorities. ADEME

Investissement will invest the total equity in the project holding company

through capital increases, with an initial EUR 16.7 million paid at first

closing. Subsequent capital injections will be based on project funding calls

with a co-financing at equal share between BW Ideol and ADEME Investissement.

Following first closing, BW Ideol will own 76.6% of DevCo, representing a post-

money valuation of BW Ideol Projects Holding of around EUR 72 million. ADEME

Investissement is set to increase its holding over time as further projects are

matured and financed. Under the agreement, BW Ideol will manage the project

holding company through a service agreement. When all funding calls are

completed, both ADEME Investissement and BW Ideol will have invested EUR 40

million each in BW Ideol Projects Company.

ADEME Investissement has been granted a two-month exclusivity period.

Negotiations are ongoing with completion of first closing on track for end of

the second quarter of 2023, subject to final negotiations and approval by the

respective decision bodies of BW Ideol and ADEME Investissement.

BW Ideol will retain full ownership of its other business activities and assets,

including technology, related IP and know-how portfolio, the floater EPCI

business line and the exclusivity with the Port of Ardersier in Scotland for a

floater production line, the Floatgen demonstrator, the ownership in the EolMed

project, as well as all the teams, including engineering, business development,

project execution, supply chain, legal, innovation, finance.

Separately, BW Ideol signed a EUR 12 million shareholder loan with BW Offshore

and Noria, which combined with the planned funding from ADEME Investissement, is

expected to provide financing BW Ideol's business plan for the next 12 months.

BW Ideol is also exploring other options to cover the Company's long-term

financing requirements.

FINANCIALS

Revenue from customer contracts for the first three months of 2023 was EUR 0.98

million, reflecting mainly design and engineering activities and royalties for

projects in France, Scotland and Asia. Operating loss before depreciation and

amortisation (EBITDA) for the period was EUR 1.5 million, compared to a loss of

EUR 1.4 million in the year-ago period. Operating cashflow in the first quarter

was negative at EUR 1.4 million.

At 31 March 2023, total equity was EUR 92.7 million and the equity ratio was

77%. Total cash was EUR 5.6 million, compared to EUR 9.1 million at 31 December

OPERATIONS

In late April, the construction site for the three floating offshore wind

turbines for the 30 MW EolMed project was officially opened at Port-la Nouvelle,

France. Construction start was marked with the arrival of the initial

prefabricated steel blocks which will make up the floating substructures based

on BW Ideol's patented dampening pool design. The entire floater fabrication

will be executed in France, demonstrating that BW Ideol's technology is

compatible with the highest levels of local content. It is expected that the

construction will take around 18 months and consume 250,000 man-hours. The

Company has 5% ownership stake in the project and provides engineering services

during the construction phase.

At the site of the 960 MW Buchan Offshore Wind farm off the northeast coast of

Scotland, Buchan Offshore Wind Limited (formerly named Floating Energy Allyance)

proceeded with site investigations and environmental studies in preparation for

the consent application process. Buchan Offshore Wind Limited has appointed

Ocean Infinity to execute the initial geophysical and geotechnical site

investigations as a key step in the design and assessment process. Survey

campaign scheduled to take place later in 2023. BOWL comprises BayWa r.e.,

Elicio and BW Ideol. In addition to a 33.3% equity holding in the wind-farm

project, BW Ideol will design the floating foundations based on its proven and

patented Damping Pool® technology. Construction is targeted to start in 2028

with commissioning of the wind farm in 2031.

The collaboration with the EDF Renewables and Maple Power consortium for the

250 MW AO5 offshore floating wind tender near coast of South Brittany continues

with the final date of bid-submission in the third quarter of 2023 and the

license award expected at the end of the year or early 2024. BW Ideol also

cooperates with EDF Renewables and Maple Power on the design of floating

foundations for the AO6 floating wind tender in the Mediterranean Sea covering

two 250 MW sites. The consortium has been preselected for the AO6 tender. The

competitive dialogue was launched in August 2022 and bid submission is expected

at end of 2023 with award in 2024.

In May, the Company signed a Head of Terms with Elawan for the co-development of

a multi-GW pipeline of projects in the Iberian Peninsula. Elawan is a Spanish

company, 100% owned by ORIX Corporation, with more than 2.6 GW of renewable

assets built and an 8.4 GW portfolio of renewable projects. The companies are

working to formalise the Joint Development Agreement and preparation of the

upcoming tenders in Spain and Portugal.

Recently, the Company also approved a partnership in preparation for the 4 GW

Celtic Sea tender expected to be launched in the third quarter of 2023 by Crown

Estate Scotland. The Company also progresses several other initiatives including

development of a commercial-scale floating wind farms in Japan and a floating

demo project off Taiwan.

BW Ideol's commercial development is founded on the Group's floating wind

technology and expertise. The Group is continuously seeking to advance its

technology solutions to grow its team competencies and skills and apply them to

new products supporting safe and cost-efficient development of industrial scale

floating wind farms.

The Floatgen floating unit installed offshore western France produced 1.74 GWh

of renewable power during the quarter and had, at the end of the March, produced

25.9 GWh of electricity with high availability since commissioning, reflecting

the seakeeping performance of BW Ideol's proprietary Damping Pool design.

Throughout 2022 and in early 2023, the power output from Floatgen has on several

occasions exceeded the maximum expected output from the Vestas V80 turbine,

confirming the exceptional performance offered by the movements of BW Ideol's

Damping Pool design.

OUTLOOK

BW Ideol aims to be a leading long-term owner of floating wind assets in key

offshore markets worldwide. The primary focus is to continuously progress,

expand and de-risk the Group's project pipeline. The planned funding from ADEME

Investissement and shareholder loan is expected to finance the Company's

business plan for the next 12 months and support work on establishing additional

long-term funding.

BW Ideol has set a goal to be involved in an approximately 10 GW gross portfolio

of floating wind projects by 2030 by developing the existing pipeline and strong

joint venture partnerships, through scaling and optimisation of the patented

Damping Pool® technology, and by developing the global organisation and

leveraging the partnership with BW Offshore, including in the power-to-platform

market.

The Group considers itself to be ahead of plan for the 10 GW target based on the

recent progress. The rapid global expansion of the commercial scale floating

wind market supports a continued strong market outlook, as BW Ideol's teams are

preparing up to 20 GW of confirmed tenders to be potentially awarded in 2023 in

key markets.
