 REC Silicon - Announces the Close of a USD 10M Short Term Loan with Hanwha Global Americas Corporation

# REC Silicon - Announces the Close of a USD 10M Short Term Loan with Hanwha Global Americas Corporation

Moses Lake, Washington USA -- May 27, 2025: REC Silicon ASA (REC Silicon)  

announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, REC Silicon Inc, and REC Silicon  

Inc's wholly owned subsidiaries have entered into an unsecured USD 10 million  

short-term loan with Hanwha Global Americas Corporation to fund the company's  

operational urgent capital needs, which aligns with the release of Hanwha's  

voluntary cash offer, dated 24 April 2025, by which, as part of the  

discussions regarding the offer, Hanwha stated its intent to financially  

support REC Silicon's operations, which may include an extension of existing  

shareholder loans or a new bridge loan.  

  

Hanwha Global Americas Corporation is a subsidiary of the company's two  

largest shareholders Hanwha Solutions and Hanwha Corporation.  

  

The terms of the loan are generally in line with the financial terms of the  

company's existing bank and shareholder loan agreements. The maturity date is  

May 27, 2026.  

  

Moving forward, REC Silicon is focused on increasing sales of its silicon  

gases, reducing costs and optimizing production at the Butte facility. REC  

Silicon's legacy business is a leading producer of silicon gas and has a  

strong market position for silane and specialty gases in the semiconductor,  

FPD and solar PV industries. Further, maintaining silane capacity at Moses  

Lake in a recoverable mode gives the company the flexibility to leverage  

future customer demand for Silicon Anode or other gases. The company is  

working to capitalize on these industry presences and ultimately return to  

profitability.  

  

REC Silicon does not have sufficient available cash to meet debt service and  

other anticipated operating cash flow requirements for this year without the  

continued support of the major shareholder, Hanwha, or additional sources of  

capital. Therefore, it will soon require additional financing beyond this loan  

either from Hanwha or from other sources of capital, none which have yet been  

finalized or guaranteed.  

  

As previously disclosed, REC Silicon continues to evaluate and look for other  

financing options and mitigative actions. However, the timing and feasibility  

of such options are uncertain.
