Cashflow until end of commissioning (30.09.2022)

Forecast

CAPEX increase of about2 million

• CAPEX includes the R&D plant in Ghent, as well as the development of

blueprint for the typical plant by Worley Parsons for a total of € 1.600.000

• EPC contract increased by about € 400.000

OPEX increase of about1 million

• Earlier timeline for the operational team build, as well as extra staffing to

counterbalance early turnover and increased needs for megaplant

Grants expected before 30.09.2022 decreased by about1 million

  • Unexpected decline on a € 500.000 subsidy request
  • Balance of € 538.000 on another subsidy forecasted in Q4 2022

Cashflow until end of commissioning (30.09.2022)

Forecast

€ 30'000'000

Current liquidity position enables funding of all activities until end of commissioning when company will become cashflow positive

Building the company

Team and organization

  • We managed to fill the two most critical management functions with high calibre candidates
  • Sander Schiereck has come on board as plant manager, coming from 24/7 petrochemical operations environment. Earlier in his career he worked in engineering services and has more than 10 years experience in running and maintaining extruder equipment for plastic compounding, as well as a demonstrated performance on operations improvement, which makes him a good fit for the team.
  • Joeri Dieltjens will assume the role of rollout manager, where he will bring valuable perspective through his experience as project manager for modular construction and start-up of plants in an international context for a large petrochemical company. As a chemical engineer with management experience in both plant construction and site operation engineering, he comes with key skills that Pryme needs to realize its ambitions.
  • With the nomination of Henning E. Jensen and Michiel Kool, two experienced independent directors will come on board bringing valuable perspective on governance and strategy. Confirmation of the nominations will be tabled in an ESM in September.
