Vow ASA : Vow secures financing to accelerate landbased initiatives

Vow ASA : Vow secures financing to accelerate landbased initiatives

Vow ASA ('Vow' or the 'Company') has secured NOK 320 million long-term financing

from DNB, the bank, establishing a strong financial foundation for further

innovation and project development in land-based industries.

The financing arrangement consists of a NOK 170 million term loan and a NOK 150

million revolving credit facility, both classified as "green financing" at

attractive terms, and within the DNB Sustainable Product Framework. This

framework includes a verification by DNV, the assurance and risk management

company, and is based on the international Green Loan Principles (GLP).

"The new loan and credit facility will further bolster our efforts to grow our

landbased business. In March this year we raised NOK 230 million in gross

proceeds to the company through a private placement, and more recently we were

awarded a NOK 81 million grant from Enova to support the building of a first

biocarbon production plant at Follum in Eastern Norway," said Henrik Badin,

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Vow.

Enova is a Norwegian state-owned enterprise established to promote a shift

towards more environmentally friendly energy consumption and production. The

plant at Follum is an important first for Vow Green Metals, a recently

established subsidiary which will be demerged from Vow and listed as a separate

company later this summer.

"We have now not only secured financing of Vow's involvement in Vow Green

Metals' first stage development at Follum. We have also established a strong

financial foundation for further expansion at Follum and innovation and project

development activities in other land-based industries. Our pipeline is rife with

interesting opportunity in a number of industry verticals, including CO2 neutral

energy, metallurgy, and various forms of biomass conversion and valorisation,"

said Mr Badin.
