REC Silicon - Capital/Financing Update 2026

REC Silicon - Announces close of USD 10m Short Term Loan with Anchor AS

Lysaker, Norway - January 19, 2026 - REC Silicon ASA ("REC Silicon") announced

today that it has entered into an unsecured USD 10.0 million short-term loan

agreement with Anchor AS to fund the company's urgent operational capital

needs.

Anchor AS is a Norwegian subsidiary of REC Silicon's two largest shareholders:

Hanwha Solutions and Hanwha Corporation.

The terms and conditions of this loan are identical to those of the USD 13.0

million loan between REC Silicon ASA and Anchor AS, which closed on November

13, 2025. The maturity date is July 19, 2026.

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

other anticipated operating cash flow requirements going forward 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 of which have

yet been finalized or guaranteed.
