Pyrum Innovations AG and SUAS Ecology s.r.o. conclude shareholder agreement for
joint plant in Czechia

• 49% equity stake secured by Pyrum
• Long-term oil offtake agreement for new plant for ten years concluded
• Commissioning expected in 2027

Dillingen/Saar, November 20, 2025 – Pyrum Innovations AG (“Pyrum”, ISIN:
DE000A2G8ZX8) and SUAS Ecology s.r.o. have signed a shareholder agreement for
the joint venture “SUAS reTIRE s.r.o.” in Czechia. As part of the agreement,
Pyrum acquired a 49% stake in the equity of the new joint venture, which plans
to develop, build and operate a state-of-the-art recycling plant in Czechia.

By successfully securing its equity share of around EUR 8.6 million, Pyrum has
completed another key step towards full project financing. Another significant
milestone is the conclusion of a long-term ten-year oil offtake agreement for
the pyrolysis oil produced at the future plant. This agreement underlines the
confidence in Pyrum's technology and the future viability of the project.

The next steps now include finalising the loan agreements with the financing
bank in Czechia and concluding the plant purchase agreement. Latest in spring
2026, orders for plant components with long delivery times (long-lead items) are
to be initiated, accompanied by preparations for the ground-breaking. The start
of construction will mark the transition to the implementation phase and make an
important contribution to the expansion of a sustainable circular economy in
Europe.

Martin Čermák, Vice Chairman of the Executive Board of SUAS GROUP and Chairman
of the executive board of Sokolovská uhelná: "With signing the contract, we look
forward to a long-term and close cooperation with Pyrum. This partnership
combines our technological expertise, our industrial resources and our strategic
goals in a project of particular importance. We are proud to be able to actively
shape the growing circular economy in Europe together with Pyrum. Now begins a
new phase in which we will make this plant become reality and exploit the full
potential of our cooperation."

Pascal Klein, CEO of Pyrum Innovations AG: "We are very excited about the next
steps we will take together with SUAS reTIRE. With the secured equity base and
the concluded oil offtake agreement, we have reached two key milestones that
further strengthen confidence in our joint project. For us, this new plant is
much more than just another plant – it stands for progress, cooperation and
proof that the circular economy can work successfully on an industrial scale.
Together with SUAS, we want to prove that sustainable technologies and economic
success can go hand in hand."


The new plant, with a recycling capacity of over 22,000 tonnes of end-of-life
tyres per year, will be built in Vřesová, near the German-Czech border, and is
expected to start commissioning in 2027. SUAS already operates a power plant at
the site, which will be able to convert the gas produced during pyrolysis into
electricity without additional investment – an important step towards efficient
and resource-saving energy recovery.
