Appendix 1

The proposal for the resolutions to be voted on by the General Meeting under agenda items 2 – 4.

Agenda item 2 – Increase of issued share capital by way of a Private Placement and exclusion of pre-emptive rights (voting item)

On January 14th, 2025, the Company advised the EGM that if it is not successful in obtaining funding through the exercising of the investor call options or the Company put options, approved by said EGM on January 14th, 2025, a further funding round is anticipated to be needed around April/May 2025. In Pryme's trading update on April 3rd, 2025, the Company has informed the shareholders that the conditions for the Company put options will most likely not be met, and most certainly not before Pryme requires additional funding. Furthermore, it was indicated that the Company will seek additional funding in order to satisfy its liquidity needs.

The Company has explored the interest from sector investors and the major existing shareholders, and such conversations indicated that up to around EUR 7 million of funding could be obtained at this stage. Subsequently, the Company has decided to execute a capital increase through a private placement of new shares with gross proceeds in the aggregate amount of EUR 7.0 million (the "Private Placement").

Taking into account regulatory limitations regarding public offers and to facilitate a speedy and efficient process, the Private Placement was privately negotiated and offered only to the Company's largest shareholders, with a minimum subscription amount of EUR 100,000. The Company has offered all current shareholders holding more than 0.6%1 of the Company's issued share capital the possibility to participate in the Private Placement.

The two investors that have subscribed to the Private Placement are the existing shareholders; Taranis Investment Limited, a person closely associated with Emmanuel Colombel, a supervisory board member of the Company, and Circular Plastics Coöperatief U.A., a person closely associated with Jan Willem Muller, a supervisory board member of the Company. Details around such subscriptions and conditional allocation of shares have been published in separate disclosures made on www.newsweb.no on April 10th, 2025.

The private placement process resulted in the announcement of the completion of the Private Placement on April 10th, 2025, for total gross proceeds of EUR 7,000,000. The subscription share price per new share in the Private Placement is EUR 1.2377, being the equivalent of NOK 15.00. The applied exchange rate is the official exchange rate from the Norwegian Central Bank (Norges Bank) for the business day prior to the submission of the Private Placement subscriptions (NOK 12.1195/EUR). The total number of shares proposed allocated to the investors in the Private Placement by the Company is 5,655,652 shares. The date for payment of the Private Placement is expected to be on or about May 12th, 2025 and the shares are expected to be delivered to the investors' VPS accounts on or about May 15th, 2025. The Private Placement subscriptions are subject to the General Meeting adopting the resolution proposed under this agenda item 2.

The Company's costs associated with the Private Placement are estimated at up to approximately EUR 100,000.

It is proposed that the General Meeting passes the following resolution:

  • (i) The General Meeting authorizes the supervisory board to increase the Company's issued share capital by EUR 2,827,826 through the issuance of 5,655,652 new shares, each with a nominal value of EUR 0.50 at a subscription price of EUR 1.2377 per share; and
  • (ii) The General Meeting resolves to exclude the pre-emptive rights of shareholders to participate in the issuance of new shares referred to under (i) above proportionate to the aggregate amounts of their shareholdings.

1 Only individual shareholders with individual VPS accounts holding more than 0.6% have been offered to participate in the Private Placement. Shareholders owning shares through nominee accounts that are not known to the Company have not been offered to participate in the Private Placement.

Agenda item 3 – Delegation to the supervisory board of the power to issue shares in fulfilment of a potential Subsequent Offering (voting item)

As noted in respect of agenda item 2, the Private Placement was privately negotiated and offered only to the Company's largest shareholders and sector investors, with a minimum required subscription amount of EUR 100,000. The Company has offered all current shareholders holding more than 0.6% of the Company's issued share capital the possibility to participate in the Private Placement.

As a result of regulations, private placements may only be subscribed to by investors subscribing for a minimum of EUR 100,000. Thus, the Private Placement was directed at the Company's largest shareholders and other large sector investors.

This meant that not all existing shareholders had a realistic possibility to participate in the Private Placement. In order to compensate shareholders that did not have the opportunity to participate in a private placement, it is customary to also launch a subsequent offering, often called a repair issue. The Company is planning to carry out such subsequent offering through a rights issue towards shareholders on record as of April 10th, 2025, the date of the Private Placement, that were not offered to participate in the Private Placement. The Company is planning to offer up to 1,233,208 shares in such potential subsequent offering. For further details, please see the stock exchange notices from the Company related to the subsequent offering.

Thus, the Company may, subject to the completion of the Private Placement, the preparation and publication of a prospectus and prevailing market conditions, resolve to carry out a subsequent repair offering of up to 1,233,208 new shares (the "Subsequent Offering") at the offer price of the Private Placement (NOK 15.00 per share). The Subsequent Offering will be directed towards existing shareholders in the Company as of April 10th, 2025 (as registered in the VPS two trading days thereafter), who (i) were not offered to participate in or allocated shares in the Private Placement, and (ii) are not resident in a jurisdiction where such offering would be unlawful or would (in jurisdictions other than Norway) require any prospectus, filing, registration or similar action. Such existing shareholders will be granted nontradable subscription rights. The Subsequent Offering, as planned, is designed to reduce the dilution effects of the Private Placement in the event the Private Placement takes place at a discount to the market price by offering up to 1,233,208 shares at a subscription price of NOK 15.00 to shareholders as described above.

The Company's costs associated with the Subsequent Offering are estimated up to approximately EUR 150,000.

As is customary, if the share price is not above the subscription price of the Private Placement over time and at sufficient volumes, the Company may decide to cancel the Subsequent Offering as such market conditions would enable shareholders to compensate for the dilution in a more effective way.

On this basis, it is proposed that the General Meeting passes the following resolution:

  • (i) The General Meeting authorizes the supervisory board to increase the Company's issued share capital by EUR 616,604 through the issuance of up to 1,233,208 new shares, each with a nominal value of EUR 0.50 in one or more share capital increases through the issuance of new shares;
  • (ii) The subscription price per share shall be NOK 15.00;
  • (iii) The authorization is valid until 30 June 2025;
  • (iv) The authorization may only be used in connection with the potential Subsequent Offering; and
  • (v) The General Meeting resolves to exclude the pre-emptive rights of shareholders to participate in the issuance of new shares referred to under (i) above proportionate to the aggregate amounts of their shareholdings.

Agenda item 4 – Amendment (partial) of the Company's articles of association and authorization to execute the deed of amendment (voting item)

Pursuant to section 134 paragraph 4 of Book 2 Dutch Civil Code, the Company's articles of association must provide for a resolution on the manner in which the execution of the tasks and responsibilities of the management board will be temporarily addressed in the case that all managing directors are absent or prevented from acting. Article 14.13 of the Company's articles of association addresses this situation and provides that the management shall be vested temporarily in 'a person' appointed by the supervisory board for that purpose. It is proposed that article 14.13 of the Company's articles of association be amended to include the possibility for the supervisory board to assume the tasks and responsibilities of the management board on a temporary basis in the case that all managing directors are absent or prevented from acting and in case no other person is available to assume the management tasks and responsibilities in the Company on a temporary basis. The proposal to amend the articles of association would comply with Dutch corporate law and has been approved by the supervisory board, pursuant to the current articles of association.

The draft notarial deed of amendment of the articles of association drawn up by Houthoff Coöperatief U.A. ("Houthoff") for this purpose, will be made available for inspection on April 11th, 2025 at the offices of the Company at Fascinatio Boulevard 220, NL-3065 WB Rotterdam, The Netherlands, and published on the Company's website (www.pryme-cleantech.com). The English translation of the deed of amendment contains the unofficial English translation. The Dutch text of the deed of amendment prevails.

For information purposes only, a brief overview in markup form of the proposed amendments and changes to article 14.13 of the articles of association read as follows:

Proposed amendment to AoA 14.13 in marked up form – Dutch:

Proposed amendment to AoA 14.13 in marked up form – English translation:

This agenda item 4 includes the authorization of each member of the supervisory board and the management board as well as each of the employees of the law firm Houthoff, to execute and sign the notarial deed of the amendment of the articles of association in which the proposed amendment will be laid down and further to sign any documents, notices, acknowledgements and statements and to perform any and all other acts as may be necessary, expedient or useful to implement the foregoing (including a deed of rectification of the aforementioned deed of amendment of the articles of association), with the right of substitution. Upon approval from the General Meeting, the amendment to the articles of association will be implemented by the execution of a notarial deed of amendment of the articles of association as soon as possible following the EGM. The revised articles of association will be made available on the Company's website www.pryme-cleantech.com.

It is proposed that the General Meeting passes the following resolution:

  • (i) The General Meeting approves the proposed amendment of the articles of association; and
  • (ii) The General Meeting authorizes each member of the supervisory board and the management board as well as each of the employees of the law firm Houthoff to execute the deed of amendment of the articles of association.
