Pyrum Innovations AG: Official ground-breaking ceremony for new Pyrum plant in
Perl-Besch on 14 November 2025 

o	Largest Pyrum-owned plant to date with recycling capacity of more than 22,000
tonnes of end-of-life tyres per year planned
o	Location on the Moselle river logistically very advantageous
o	Preliminary work already well advanced: preparatory groundwork completed,
numerous long leads ordered and tenders for groundwork already underway
o	Planned commissioning expected in 2027

Dillingen / Saar, 16 October 2025 - Pyrum Innovations AG ("Pyrum", the
"company", ISIN: DE000A2G8ZX8) announces that the official ground-breaking
ceremony for the next Pyrum-owned plant in Perl-Besch is scheduled to take place
on 14 November 2025. With a planned annual recycling capacity of more than
22,000 tonnes of end-of-life tyres, the plant will be Pyrum's largest to date.
Like the main plant in Dillingen, it will be 100% operated by Pyrum and will
more than double the company's recycling capacity. Representatives from
politics, business and sports are expected to attend the planned event.

Pascal Klein, CEO of Pyrum Innovations AG: "Now that all the legal formalities
have finally been clarified - development plan, building permit and access to
the site - we can hardly wait to get started. Planning is already well advanced
behind the scenes: the site has been prepared, numerous plant components with
long delivery times - known as long leads - have been ordered, and the
architect's tenders for the groundwork are underway. We will also benefit from
the experience we gained during the expansion of our main plant in Dillingen,
enabling us to plan the start of production in Perl-Besch for 2027."

The new plant is to be built on an area of around 25,000 m² at the new location
in Perl-Besch near the border triangle between Germany, France and Luxembourg
and will consist of a shredder plant, three latest-generation Pyrum reactors, a
power plant and a grinding and pelletising plant. All the findings from the
first series plant in Dillingen have already been incorporated into the plans,
so Pyrum expects a shorter construction period, faster commissioning and, as a
result, faster achievement of maximum production capacity. The convenient
location with direct access to the Moselle, existing railway tracks and the
nearby motorway offers ideal logistical conditions for the delivery of
end-of-life tyres from all over Europe and the transport of the products
manufactured. 

To finance the equity portion of the new plant, part of the EUR 25 million
credit line agreed with BASF at the end of 2023 has already been used. In
addition, a term sheet from a major European bank has been received,
guaranteeing a further 70% of debt capital for the total investment amount
(subject to the approval of the relevant committees). In order to finalize the
financing, an agreement with the Saarland authorities regarding the land
development costs is still pending. A state guarantee is also under discussion.
In order not to lose any time, Pyrum is already pushing ahead with the work and
will initially cover the costs in advance. In addition, the first subsidies for
job creation have already been paid out to GreenFactory II GmbH and used.
Successful completion of the financing for the new building in Perl-Besch would
also lay the foundation for access to the second tranche of the loan promised by
BASF in the amount of a further EUR 25 million, as well as further project
financing from the aforementioned major European bank, which has already been
indicated. This would provide the company with additional financing in the high
double-digit million range for further projects in the rollout plan. Pyrum
currently expects to break even with the commissioning of the new plant in 2027,
which is likely to further support the rollout of the project pipeline.


About Pyrum Innovations AG

Pyrum Innovations AG has revolutionised the recycling market for end-of-life
tyres. Since 2008, the company has been developing an innovative thermolysis
technology that enables end-of-life tyres and plastics tob e recycled with
virtually no emissions. The process can recover high-quality products such as
thermolysis oil and rCB (recovered Carbon Black), which are used by renowned
partners such as BASF, Continental and Schwalbe to manufacture new products. In
this way, the company closes the material cycle and pursues a sustainable
business model in line with climate targets. Since 2020, the first plant at the
company's headquarters in Dillingen/Saar has been in continuous operation, and
two further plants have been added as part of the site expansion in 2024. Thanks
