Reference is made to the announcement by Vow Green Metals AS ("VGM") on 17 April
2025 where it was stated that the proceeds from VGM's sale of shares to Obligo
are expected to fulfill the company's cash runway for the next 12 months.
As part of VGM's negotiations with DNB Bank ASA and Eksfin as lender and
guarantor under VGM Operatør's NOK 344 million facility, VGM will, subject to
closing of the Obligo transaction, undertake a restricted cash obligation of NOK
35 million as security for VGM Operatør and its Hønefoss project. This is caused
by an increase in the projected costs for the Hønefoss project in the amount of
approximately NOK 20 million. Total estimated CAPEX for the scope for phase I at
the Hønefoss project has increased from NOK 541 million to NOK 558 million.
The restricted cash obligation and cost increase mean that the proceeds from the
Obligo transaction will provide the Company with cash runway until September
2025, which may be extended to December 2025 if VGM's partners in VGM Operatør
undertake additional NOK 10 million of the restricted cash obligation.
