REC Silicon - Shareholder request for investigation
REC Silicon ASA ("REC" or the "Company") has received a letter from certain
shareholders representing more than 5% of the Company's share capital (the
"Requesting Shareholders"). As a direct quote from the letter, the Requesting
Shareholders request that the following be considered and voted on by the
Company's shareholder meeting:
"Given the dramatic consequences the termination of the "Full-form supply
agreement" between REC Silicon ASA's wholly owned subsidiary, REC Grade
Silicon LLC and Hanwha Solutions Corporation's wholly owned subsidiary, Hanwha
Q Cells Georgia Inc. (Hanwha") in January 2025 have for REC Silicon ASA's
financial position, the terms and conditions thereof and the circumstances
which lead to Hanwha's unilateral termination thereof shall be investigated
pursuant to the rules set out in Chapter 4, VII of the PLC Act".
The letter further specifies certain concrete issues to be included in and be
subject to an investigation. The Company is confident that all events and
actions referenced in the shareholder letter were conducted in the best
interests of all shareholders, the Company, and in accordance with applicable
laws and regulations, however, the Company is bringing the request for an
investigation to the shareholders as required by law.
The 2025 Annual General Meeting ("AGM") is scheduled to be held on June 25
2025, and the Requesting Shareholders have agreed that the investigation
proposal should be addressed at the AGM, rather than in an extraordinary
shareholders meeting for the sole purpose of the investigation proposal. The
proposal for investigation will thus in its entirety be placed on the agenda
for the AGM, for the shareholders' consideration and vote.
