Cashflow until end of commissioning (30.09.2022)
Forecast
CAPEX increase of about € 2 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 about € 1 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 about € 1 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.
