Letter from the CEO
Letter from
the CEO
There have been a lot of positive developments at REC Silicon this past year that have
placed the company in a position to seize upon the market opportunities that exist for the
company’s Signature Silane gas-based operations. These opportunities are fueled by major
secular growth trends existing in Digitalization, Renewable Energy and the Energy
Transition. For REC Silicon this is further enhanced by concerns around supply security and
embedded competence that is driving major efforts towards re-shoring industries that
where first developed and commercialized in the United States, such as Photovoltaics and
Semiconductors. Along with underlying growth trends, the Investment Reduction Act, Chips
Act and the Infrastructure Act all create clear pathways for us to run our current assets
towards full utilization as well as expand in areas where we have strong and distinct
positions. As the largest producer of Silane and High Purity Granular outside of China and
the only one located in the United States, our entire production asset and product portfolio
is uniquely positioned to translate these circumstances into further value for our
shareholders. Simply put, we have the right assets, the right products at the right time and
in the right place.
Support for the long-term success of the company was solidified in
2022 as a result of the purchase by Hanwha Solutions and its affiliate
Hanwha Corporation of Aker Horizon’s interest in REC Silicon along
with an additional share offering from the company as Hanwha became
the largest shareholder at 33.33%. REC Silicon’s Board of Directors
also changed to the current Board comprised of Mr. Tae Won JUN as
chair and Mr. Dong Kwan KIM as deputy chair both of whom are
affiliated with Hanwha, along with Ms. Paraskevi (Vivian) Bertseka,
Dr. Renate Oberhoffer-Fritz, and Ms. Roberta Benedetti as
independent Board members.
In 2022, REC Silicon announced the restart of the Moses Lake facility on
the heels of offtake opportunities to sell the production from the facility
to Hanwha. Favorable governmental initiatives such as the Inflation
Reduction Act, which included SEMA has provided incentives to support
the reshoring of the PV industry within the United States that will also
greatly enhance REC Silicon’s current and future prospects at Moses Lake.
Moreover, the CHIPS Act is also expected to positively contribute to the
success at Butte as the Semiconductor industry continues its path
towards reshoring to the United States as well. Additional improvement
and expansion opportunities for high value products manufactured at the
Butte facility, such as DCS, were identified and are now being implemented
so that the Butte facility will continue to take advantage of market
opportunities that are rapidly developing.
Although the long-term prospects for REC Silicon have never been
brighter, there has also been some short-term challenges facing the
company. The second half of 2022 has been a disappointment from
“Simply put, we have the right assets,
the right products at the right time and
in the right place.

revenue and EBITDA perspectives and was marred by market weakness in
the semiconductor industry and cost challenges from inflationary
pressures and other factors, particularly with respect to the cost of power
in Butte. Nevertheless, the company is taking steps to mitigate these
external factors and expects market and cost improvements for the
coming year.
I continue to believe that REC Silicon possesses the right assets with the
right products at the right time and in the right place. We have worked hard
to put in place the necessary stepping stones to allow us to accelerate to a
highly successful and profitable future. Our prospects for the company are
indeed “electric”!

Operations
During 2022 all polysilicon produced by REC Silicon was manufactured
in the Semiconductor Materials segment from its plant in Butte,
Montana. The Company is executing a plan to realize FBR production
from its plant in Moses Lake in Q4 of 2023.
Total polysilicon production increased by 151MT (12.3 percent) to
1,375MT in 2022 compared to 1,225MT in 2021. All production in
2022 and 2021 was from the semiconductor materials segment.
Total polysilicon inventories declined by 53MT in 2022.
EARNINGS
Earnings Before Financial Items and Income taxes (EBIT) for 2022 was a
loss of USD 58.3 million. This represents an increased loss compared to
an EBIT loss of USD 20.8 million in 2021.
EBITDA for 2022 was a loss of USD 34.9 million compared to an EBITDA
of USD 7.7 million in 2021. The decrease in EBITDA compared to 2021
is the result of higher operating costs, specifically energy and raw
materials. EBITDA contributed by the Semiconductor Materials segment
declined by USD 27.1 million to USD 6.3 million in 2022 due primarily
increased operating costs. EBITDA contributed by the Solar Materials
segment decreased by USD 14.3 million due to restart activities and
inflation. In Other and Eliminations, net operating costs increased by
USD 1.3 million due to restart activities and inflation.
TECHNOLOGY, RESEARCH, AND DEVELOPMENT

and industry leading product performance. REC Silicon’s research and
technology development activities are designed to enhance quality,
improve efficiency, and reduce production costs of our products to add
value to our customers and further enhance our competitive position.
However, research and development efforts have been limited due to the
shutdown of the FBR facility in Moses Lake. During 2022, research and
development efforts were focused on maintaining minimum research lab
operations to support the silicon gas and semiconductor grade
polysilicon businesses.
Cash expenditures for research and development were USD 1.5 million
in 2022 compared to USD 1.3 million in 2021. Total expenditures
including depreciation were USD 1.9 million in 2022 and USD 1.7 million
in 2021.
SEGMENT INFORMATION
SEMICONDUCTOR MATERIALS SEGMENT
REC Silicon manufactures polysilicon and silicon gases for
semiconductor markets from its manufacturing facility in Butte,
Montana. This facility is the world’s largest supplier of silicon gases for
semiconductor, flat panel display, and solar applications. The facility
uses a silane-based Siemens polysilicon processing technology to
produce the highest quality (FZ) polysilicon for use in the semiconductor
industry. The Butte plant has a capacity of approximately 5,240MT of
silicon gas loading and 1,600MT electronic grade polysilicon production.

Markets
Markets for semiconductor grade polysilicon remained strong in 2022.
Large diameter wafer demand for memory and advanced logic devices
saw growth during the year as higher grade products remained in
demand, even as the market started working towards year-end inventory
control. Silicon wafer growth started to slow as downstream demand
outlook weakened. Large diameter wafer capacity remained stable as
the demand for smaller diameters softened.
Silicon gases demand for semiconductor applications remained high for
most of the year, specifically in advanced semiconductor devices. The
demand for silicon gases in flat panel display applications declined
throughout the second half of 2022 as end users reduced factory
utilization and focused on inventory control. Global shipping delays and
port congestion issues adversely affected sales during the year. A softer
forecast with regards to solar PV for the first part of 2023 contributed
to a lower shipment profile by the end of the year. The China market
concentrated efforts on supply inside the country to combat inventory
concerns and global logistics. Weakening demand in memory devices
also added to the reduction in silicon gas sales as the year progressed.
Market sentiment and concern focused on the potential of a global
slowdown and recession leading end users to adjust order points to
lower levels. However, by the end of the year, there were improvements
in shipping times and freight costs.

out lower importing countries like the United States and India. Globally
PV installations are expected to increase year on year. Polysilicon supply
in China continued to increase as new capacity came online. Overall, the
market saw monthly supply of polysilicon increase past 30GW and then
nearing 40GW by the end of the year. Factory utilizations for wafers
declined as the year ended in anticipation of lower polysilicon prices
ahead of Lunar New Year and inventory draw down. PV Insights showed
polysilicon prices started the year at USD 31.8/kg then slowly increased
throughout the year until the end of the 4
th
quarter as new capacity was
released. Polysilicon finished the year near USD 33.6/kg, an increase of
approximately 5.8 percent from the end of 2021. Several countries are

Other financial expenses -1.4 -1.3
Net financial expenses -20.9 -23.6
Net currency gains/losses -9.7 0.8
Net financial items -28.7 -22.7
Net financial items were an expense of USD 28.7 million in 2022
compared to an expense of USD 22.7 million in 2021.
Net currency gains/losses are primarily related to the impact of
exchange rate fluctuations on liabilities and cash deposits denominated
in NOK. In addition, net currency gains/losses include fluctuations
between transaction currencies and the USD which is the reporting
currency for the group.
Interest expenses on borrowings were USD 13.4 million in 2022
compared to USD 13.6 million in 2021. Interest expense on borrowings
includes interest on the Company’s senior secured bonds for both years
presented. In addition, it includes interest expense on a note payable
associated with the settlement of the property tax dispute with Grant
County, Washington. (See note 17 to the consolidated financial
statements).
Interest expense on leases was USD 8.6 million in 2022 compared to
USD 8.8 million in 2021. This decrease can be attributed to increased
principal lease payments (See Note 7 to the consolidated financial
statements).
Capitalized borrowing costs are related to capitalized interest
associated with long term capital projects. Interest is capitalized at the
company’s external borrowing rate of 11.5 percent.
The remaining expense can be attributed to interest on asset retirement
obligations and interest on the pension obligation.
INCOME TAX
The losses before tax from continuing operations of USD 87.0 million in
2022 and USD 43.5 million in 2021 resulted in no effective tax impact
since it is offset by changes in unrecognized deferred tax assets. These
losses represent an increase in the Company’s unrecognized deferred
tax asset. The losses will continue to be available to offset taxable
income during future periods.
See note 18 to the consolidated financial statements.
PROFIT AND LOSS
The loss from total operations was USD 86.8 million in 2022 compared
to USD 30.1 million in 2021.
CASH FLOW
Net cash outflows from operating activities were USD 42.1 million in
2022 compared to USD 14.6 million in 2021. Cash outflows included
USD 22 million of interest payments and a USD 1.6 million contribution
to the defined benefit pension plan in the United States.
Net cash outflows from investing activities were USD 54.8 million in
2022 compared to cash outflows of USD 6.8 million in 2021. Payments
of capital expenditures were USD 55.9 million in 2022 and were
primarily associated with FBR modifications which will enable the
restart of Moses Lake production in Q4 of 2023. Other capital spending
included the Dichlorosilane (DCS) gas expansion project in the Butte
production facility. The DCS expansion will result in an increase in DCS
production capacity of approximately 200MT per year. (see risks and
uncertainties).
Capital expenditures also include cost savings and improvement
initiatives, routine replacement of production equipment, and capital
necessary to maintain safe and reliable operations.
In addition, cash inflows included USD 1.1 million in 2022 and USD 1.4
million in 2021 due to the maturity of municipal bonds held by the
Company.
Cash inflows from financing activities were USD 98.8 million in 2022
and included USD 109.5 million from the equity raise offset by
payments of lease liabilities and payments of borrowings, which included
payment of the indemnification loan. Cash outflows from financing
activities in 2021 were USD 3.0 million and included payments of USD
0.9 million on the property tax note and USD 2.1 million payments of
long-term lease liabilities.
There was also a negative effect of USD 7.2 million in 2022 due to cash
balances held in NOK.
In total, cash balances decreased by USD 5.2 million in 2022 to USD
105.3 million at December 31, 2022.

FINANCIAL POSITION
Shareholders’ equity increased to USD 60.4 million (18.9 percent equity
ratio) at December 31, 2022 compared to USD 33.3 million (11.3
percent equity ratio) at December 31, 2021.
This increase was primarily the result of the equity raise of USD 109.5
million, a remeasurement of the pension of USD 3.5 million and USD 0.9
million of currency translation effects taken to equity. These were offset
by a loss from total operations of USD 86.8 million.
Net debt decreased by USD 8.0 million to USD 78.5 million at December
31, 2022 from USD 86.4 million at December 31, 2021. This decrease
was primarily the result of the decrease in cash balances of USD 5.2
million discussed above. This was offset by decreases in debt including
the payment of the indemnification loan of USD 10.7 million and
payment of USD 1.0 million in the Grant County WA property tax note.
Lease liabilities decreased by USD 1.9 million. Additionally, USD 0.5
million of loan fees were amortized in 2022.
Net debt includes unamortized loan fees. Excluding unamortized
capitalized borrowing costs, nominal net debt was USD 78.6 million at
December 31, 2022 which represents a decrease of USD 8.5 million
from USD 87.1 million at December 31, 2021 (See note 17 to the
consolidated financial statements).
GOING CONCERN
On March 21, 2023, the Company announced a corporate debt financing,
which is a 3 year-term loan of USD 110 million from KEB Hana Bank in
Korea for the purpose of retiring the senior secured bond that matures
on April 13, 2023. REC Silicon’s largest shareholder Hanwha Solutions
has committed to fully guarantee the announced debt financing, which
will result in favorable terms compared to other financing alternatives.
In addition to this USD 110 million debt financing, the company has a
near term need to raise additional financing to meet liquidity
requirements in 2023, in particular relating to the ongoing restart
activities of the company’s polysilicon factory in Moses Lake and
capacity investments in Butte. The Company is currently working with
various financing parties and we are confident that we are close to a final
solution that covers the entire funding amount needed for the next 12
months. REC Silicon will update the market as financing plans are
concluded. (see note 17, 29 and 33)
Accordingly, the Board of Directors confirms that the Financial
Statements have been prepared under the assumption that the
Company is a going concern and that this assumption was realistic at
the date of the accounts.
REC SILICON ASA (NGAAP)
Financial Review
REC Silicon ASA (the Company) prepares its financial statements
according to NGAAP. The Company is a holding company with corporate
management and financial functions.
In 2022, REC Silicon ASA had a negative EBIT of USD 2.4 million
compared to a negative EBIT of USD 2.3 million in 2021. The Company

net financial expenses of USD 87.2 million which includes impairment of
internal loans of USD 68.7 million, interest income of USD 1.8 million
and interest expenses of USD 13.1 million. Other major remaining items
of net financial items were net currency losses of USD 7.1 million due to
cash balances held in NOK. Interest income from subsidiaries was
suspended for 2022 and 2021 due to the financial position and outlook
of the borrowing companies. In 2021 The net loss included net financial
expenses of USD 29.8 million which includes impairment of loans to US
subsidiaries of USD 25.7 million, impairment of loan to REC Silicon Pte
Ltd of USD 5.2 million, and interest expenses of USD 13.1 million. Other
major remaining items of net financial items were net currency gains of
USD 0.8 million and other financial income related to the settlement of
the indemnity loan in the amount of USD 13.4 million.(See note M to the
financial statements for REC Silicon ASA).
Total equity for the parent Company was USD 188.4 million at
December 31, 2022 compared to USD 168.4 million at December 31,
2021. This increase is a result of the equity settlement of USD 109.5
million offset by the net loss of USD 89.4 million discussed above.
Allocation of the Net Loss for the Parent Company
The Board proposes that the net loss for the year of USD 89.6 million
be distributed to other equity.
Change of Control
The USD Senior Secured Bond agreement has a change of control
provision. If a shareholder or a group of shareholders gains control of
more than 50 percent of the share capital, bondholders acquire a put
option entitling them to cancel the commitments and declare all
outstanding amounts and accrued unpaid interest due and payable.
More detailed information can be obtained from the bond trustee,
Nordic Trustee ASA.
RISK FACTORS
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including
market risk, operational risk, liquidity risk, credit risk, currency risk,
interest-rate risk, refinancing risk, and others (See note 3 to the
consolidated financial statements).
REC Silicon’s Board of Directors is responsible for determining the
acceptable risk profile for the Company. The Board oversees risk
management processes and conducts reviews of risks faced by the
company and internal control procedures.
REC Silicon’s management is responsible for reviewing and
operationalizing the defined risk profile by maintaining a system for risk
management. Management performs risk assessments and actively
monitors the development of material risks and initiates actions
accordingly.
Risk assessments are performed periodically. The materiality of each
risk factor is determined by assessing the likelihood and consequence of
that risk. Risks are evaluated to determine whether the level is
acceptable or unacceptable and to prioritize activities to mitigate those
risks that have the greatest potential to impact Company performance.
Board of Directors’ report
REC Silicon Annual Report 2022

Market risk
On January 31, 2023 the Company announced the entering into of a
binding term sheet between its subsidiary REC Solar Grade Silicon LLC
and Hanwha Solutions for a 10 year take-or pay offtake for FBR
polysilicon produced at REC Silicon’s facility at Moses Lake, Washington.
The Offtake provides for the sale to Hanwha Solutions of 100% of the
prime FBR production from the facility.
Company management and the Board of Directors will continue to
monitor COVID-19 and take appropriate action as additional
developments occur.
Currently the Group does not have direct exposure to Ukraine or Russia,
however, management and the Board of Directors will continue to
monitor the conflict in Ukraine and will take necessary action to minimize
market risk if required.
Operational risk
The Group’s production processes involve manufacturing, processing,
storage, use, handling, distribution and transport of silane gas and other
substances of an explosive or hazardous nature. Accidents or
mishandlings involving these substances could cause property damage
or injury, which could lead to significant liabilities and costs for the
Group. The occurrence of a catastrophic event at one of the Group’s
polysilicon production facilities could adversely impact production
capacity at such facility for a significant period of time. In addition, an
interruption in the supply of materials and services to one of the Group’s
manufacturing facilities could disrupt production capacity for a
significant period of time. Despite insurance coverage, the Group could
incur uninsured losses and liabilities arising from such events, and/or
suffer substantial losses in operational capacity, which could have a
significant adverse effect on the Group’s business, prospects, financial
results, and results of operations.
The production process for the Butte facility is energy intensive and
subject to risk from high energy prices.
REC Silicon’s Moses Lake, Washington facility was shut down in the
second quarter of 2019 due to difficult market conditions and Chinese
tariffs on polysilicon produced in the United States.
The Company is executing a plan to realize FBR production from its plant
in Moses Lake in Q4 of 2023. Current activities include execution of
engineering, procurement, and construction for FBR upgrades. The
company is targeting a ramp to 50 percent operation during Q2 2024
and a ramp to 100 percent operation during Q4 2024.
Additional impairments and provisions would be required if the Moses
Lake facility is not restarted.
Liquidity risk
On March 21, 2023, the Company announced a corporate debt financing,
which is a 3 year-term loan of USD 110 million from KEB Hana Bank in
Korea for the purpose of retiring the senior secured bond that matures
on April 13, 2023. REC Silicon’s largest shareholder Hanwha Solutions
has committed to fully guarantee the announced debt financing, which
will result in favorable terms compared to other financing alternatives.
In addition to this USD 110 million debt financing, the company has a
near term need to raise additional financing to meet liquidity
requirements in 2023, in particular relating to the ongoing restart
activities of the company’s polysilicon factory in Moses Lake and
capacity investments in Butte. The Company is currently working with
various financing parties and we are confident that we are close to a final
solution that covers the entire funding amount needed for the next 12
months. REC Silicon will update the market as financing plans are
concluded. (see note 17, 29 and 33)
Credit risk
Credit risk is primarily related to trade receivables and guarantees
provided for discontinued operations. In trade receivables, sources of
credit risk include geographic, industry and customer concentrations,
and risks related to the collection. Policies and procedures are in place
for managing credit risk, including obtaining securities where possible.
Market and customer specific developments affect credit risk. The
Group provided parent company guarantees for the REC Solar Group
related to the performance of solar panels and systems and the sale of
REC ScanModule AB. The Group has been provided with offsetting
guarantees by REC Solar Holdings AS. The guarantees are valid for
relevant warranty periods and are limited by warranties provided on
solar panels and systems. Parent company guarantees for REC Solar
were USD 54.9 million at December 31, 2022. The guarantees will
decrease from 2023 to 2039 when they will expire in their entirety.
Currency risk
The Company’s net cash flows from continuing operations are primarily
in USD. Debt is denominated in USD. The Group’s currency risk relates
primarily to cash balances held in currencies other than USD. The Group
does not currently hold any hedging instruments to offset the risk of
changes in exchange rates between the USD and NOK.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Good corporate governance is essential to ensure that our business is
run in a way that protects the long-term interest of all stakeholders. The
Board of Directors has approved and implemented corporate
governance principles endorsing and complying with the Norwegian
Accounting Act and the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate
Governance. The Group’s compliance with the Code of Practice is
described in the report on Corporate Governance for 2022 which is
included in this Annual Report.
The Company has directors and officers liability insurance. The insurance
covers the Board of Directors as well as officers of the company from
legal personal liability for financial damage caused by the performance
of their duties.
MARKET OUTLOOK
Company management and the Board of Directors will continue to
monitor the war in Ukraine and will take necessary action to minimize
market risk if required.
Board of Directors’ report
REC Silicon Annual Report 2022

Semiconductor supply chain participants and industry analysts continue
to indicate that demand for semiconductor devices is expected to be
soft throughout the first quarter of 2023. Historically Q1 has been a
soft market but markets have shifted due to changes from the
COVID-19 pandemic. We are seeing the market slow down due to these
shifts along with concerns around a potential global downturn. The
expectation is that the market will correct during 2023 and return to
growth in 2024.
Demand for REC Silicon’s semiconductor grade polysilicon and silicon
gases are expected to remain stable in 2023 with some potential for
growth in specialized segments. Factors associated with data
transmission and storage, mobility, and increasing silicon content in
automobiles and other consumer goods are expected to result in
demand growth. The increasing trend towards electrification and the
adoption of new technologies is also expected to increase demand for
REC Silicon’s advanced silicon products. The passage of the CHiPS act in
the United States is predicted to support semiconductor manufacturing
in the United States.
Solar grade polysilicon prices will continue to see price declines in 2023
as capacity is brought online. Continued growth of PV installations is
forecasted in 2023. The outlook globally remains strong as both
governments and corporations push efforts to slow global warming.
While polysilicon capacity expansions have been announced that may
result in oversupply, the restart of the Moses Lake FBR facility will be
supported by the passage of the Solar Energy Manufacturing for
America (SEMA) included in the Inflation Reduction Act. The forecasted
increases in wafer capacity and increased demand for PV installations
should result in strong demand for solar grade polysilicon. Industrial
analysts estimate global demand for PV installations to surpass 300GW
in 2023.
Additionally, in 2022 the United States Department of Energy awarded
grants to support development of a United States battery supply chain.
Some of the awarded grants were directed to manufacturers of silicon
anode battery materials. These developments are expected to help drive
the commercialization of silicon-based anode material for batteries.
Developer forecasts predict large scale silane demand by 2025.
EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE
On January 31, 2023 the Company announced the entering into of a
binding term sheet between its subsidiary REC Solar Grade Silicon LLC
and Hanwha Solutions for a 10 year take-or pay offtake for FBR
polysilicon produced at REC Silicon’s facility at Moses Lake, Washington
(the “Offtake”). The Offtake provides for the sale to Hanwha Solutions of
100% of the prime FBR production from the facility.
On March 21, 2023 the Company announced a corporate debt financing
of USD 110 million from KEB Hana Bank in Korea for the purpose of
retiring the senior secured bond that matures on April 13, 2023. The
contemplated debt financing will be fully guaranteed by REC Silicon’s
largest shareholder Hanwha Solutions, which will result in favorable
terms compared to other financing alternatives. In addition to this USD
110 million debt financing, the ongoing restart activities of the
company’s polysilicon factory in Moses Lake and capacity investments in
Butte, will require additional financing. REC Silicon is in the process of
exploring all funding options, including debt financing and pre-payments
from offtake contracts, and the company is confident that funds will be
raised well in advance of such capital needs. REC Silicon will update the
market as financing plans are concluded. (see note 17, 29 and 33).

BUSINESS MODEL AND STRATEGY
REC Silicon ASA is headquartered in Lysaker, Norway and has two
manufacturing facilities in the United States (US). The Company
converts metallurgical grade silicon (MGS) into silane gas using a closed-
loop process that recycles chloride metals back to the initial reactors.
The silane gas is further processed into ultra-pure polysilicon through
the Siemens method or the fluidized bed reactor (FBR) method. The
purchasers of ultra-pure polysilicon are typically silicon wafer producers,
which turn the purified polysilicon into wafers for the use either in the
semiconductor and electronics industries or the solar photovoltaic (PV)
industry. REC Silicon also market and sell silane gas as a separate
product. Currently users of silane gas are typically in the electronics
industries. Further, new technologies utilizing silane gas as anode
material in batteries are under development, and silane gas markets
could in the future be expanded to include the battery industry for
energy storage.
REC Silicon’s strategy is to maintain its position as a technological
innovator in the silicon materials industry. The company aims to take
full advantage of three important sets of legislation that have recently
been passed in the US:
• The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022
• The CHIPS & Science Act of 2022
• The Infrastructure and Jobs Act of 2021

REC Silicon Annual Report 2022

The general ambition of these sets of legislation is to build-up low-
carbon value chains in the US, where the semiconductor and solar
industries are particularly relevant to the Company. As a response,
REC Silicon is restarting its Moses Lake plant, which uses the FBR
technology to produce polysilicon. This process consumes 80%-90%
less energy than the conventional Siemens method and will enable the
Company to provide low-carbon polysilicon, primarily for the solar
industry. The company is also expanding its silane gas capabilities at
both Butte and Moses Lake in response to anticipated demand from
the electronics industries and industries providing batteries to the
electric vehicle industry.
THE VALUE CHAIN
Silicon is the second most prevalent element in the earth’s crust and is
predominantly found together with oxygen in minerals like quartzite and
silicates. About 20% of global production is purified into MGS using an
electric arc furnace with a coking agent and significant amounts of
energy. The higher purity MGS is used to produce polysilicon, while the
lower purity is mainly for the use in the automotive industry.
The processing of MGS into silane gases and further into ultra-pure
electronic grade polysilicon through the traditional Siemens method is
highly energy intensive. The Butte facility, which uses the Siemens
method, has an energy intensity of around 170 MWh per ton of product.
The FBR method used at Moses Lake has approximately 80%-90% less
energy use per ton of product.


Sustainability report
The Company currently withdraws around 2.5 million cubic meters of
water per year, discharging about 60% of this in the form of cleansed
water, legally required to be above drinking water standard. REC Silicon
is subject to strict environmental permits requiring full capture of
emissions to air, using scrubbers. The performance relative to these
permits is subject to third party verification and ensures little or no
impact on the environment and on local communities.
Before REC Silicon’s products reach the end-users in the form of
semiconductors or solar PV panels, wafer producers process the
polysilicon into wafers using several energy, water and chemicals-
intensive steps like slicing, bevelling, lapping, etching, heating, polishing
and cleaning. The semiconductor industry uses additional energy, water
and chemicals-intensive processes to produce microchips for a wide
range of applications. The solar PV industry produces cells and panels
that adds inputs such as silver, glass and aluminum for the final product.
In its final use, polysilicon has significant benefits for society in the form
of renewable energy and through enabling digitalization to save energy
and resources. On the other hand, the production of the material, cradle
to grave, requires significant amounts of energy, water and chemicals.
Hence, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from energy use is
important, as well as emissions to air and water, water stress,
biodiversity and ecosystems, in addition to health and safety for
personnel involved during the various steps of production.
MATERIALITY ASSESSMENT
REC Silicon is generally classified within both the semiconductor and
solar energy industries, but is also expanding its offering to serve the
battery storage industry. The materiality assessment uses the
Sustainability Accounting Standards Boards (SASB) framework for all
three industries, as an initial evaluation of material topics. This indicates
a general overlap of material topics.

The Board of Directors has considered the SASB framework in relation
to the business of the Company. Six focus areas have been established
as a result, each with a specific set of KPIs that are monitored for
performance and as the basis for performance targets.

FOCUS AREA RATIONALE KPIS
Safety The health and safety of personnel involved in REC Silicon’s operations, as
well as those in the value chain, are of utmost importance. The company
monitors five internal KPIs to ensure good performance, as well as one
external through regular supply-chain audits
• LTI rate, TRIF
• Safe job analyses
• Hazard recognition audits
• Serious incidents
• Supply chain audits
• Near misses
Energy The entire value chains for both the solar PV and semiconductor industries
are highly energy intensive and therefore contribute meaningfully to GHG
emissions. It is the ambition of the entire value chain, including REC Silicon,
to reduce energy intensity and increase the use of renewable energy sour-
ces to minimize the carbon footprint of the end-products. Key parameters
for the company include energy mix, energy efficiency and energy sourcing
• Energy use
• Emissions from energy use
• Energy mix
• Energy efficiency
• Quality and reliability of energy sourcing
Water REC Silicon’s production consumes substantial volumes of water resources.
Although REC Silicon’s facilities are not placed in areas of high water-stress,
the discharge of water from production needs to be monitored and mana-
ged to ensure that it has the required water quality. The company operates
according to strict environmental regulations that stipulate that any
discharged water needs to be above drinking water standard
• Water consumption
• Water quality
• Waste-water discharge
• Water use efficiency
Environment REC Silicon’s production processes generate significant volumes of waste,
where increased recycling could be important to reduce the environmental
footprint. Emissions to air are also relevant, as well as the protection of local
biodiversity. The company monitors waste volumes, waste recycling, raw
materials sourcing and participates in initiatives to preserve local biodiversity
• Waste production volumes
• Waste recycling
• Raw materials sourcing
• Emissions to air
• Biodiversity initiatives
• Recovery of end-of life products
Equal treatment and
human rights
The company needs access to qualified personnel and strives to be an
attractive workplace that respects all aspects of human rights, giving eve-
ryone an equal opportunity to succeed. The company recognizes its respon-
sibility to ensure human rights in the value chain, which is done through
regular supply-chain audits
• Percentage of women in workforce and management
• Gender pay gap
• Gender equality Initiatives
• Human rights audits and violations
• Local community contributions
Governance REC Silicon adheres to the strictest principles of fair business behavior and
integrates the governance of sustainability matters fully in the overall cor-
porate governance structure. The ultimate responsibility for the governance
of sustainability matters lies with the Board of Directors, which define and
monitor the sustainability strategy. The company carries out anti-corruption
audits, provides anti-corruption training to its workforce and makes a
whistle-blower service available
• Anti-corruption audits and violations
• Number of whistle-blower incidents
• Transparency of ESG governance structure
• Stewardship initiatives in value chain
The Company has performance targets related to Energy, Environment
and Safety. Going forward, additional targets will be established relating
to water usage, equal treatment and human rights.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
REC Silicon maintains a constant dialogue with its stakeholders, which
further inform the definition of material sustainability matters for the
company in the form of informal feedback. The Company plans to
establish a more structured plan and process for stakeholder
engagement going forward. The primary stakeholders are:
• Employees
• Clients and end-users
• Suppliers
• Investors
• The local community
Feedback from the value chain stakeholders (suppliers, clients and end-
users) is particularly important in the context of the growing need to
manage sustainability issues across the entire value chain.
Clients and end-users
While both the semiconductor industry and the solar PV industry
ultimately deliver products that enable the transition to a low-carbon
future, both are, due to their rapid growth, under pressure to reduce the
carbon footprint of their respective supply-chains.
There are several initiatives in the solar industry to reduce the carbon
footprint of the solar PV supply chain, such as the Ultra-low Carbon Solar
Alliance (where REC Silicon is a member), the Decarbonising Industrial
Supply Chain Energy Program (DISC-e), labelling schemes to certify low-
carbon panels, as well as governmental initiatives to prioritise low-
carbon suppliers in public tenders.
REC Silicon Annual Report 2022

Sustainability report
The same goes for the semiconductor industry, where the leading
producers are actively promoting a low-carbon supply chain, requiring
high-energy consumption suppliers to verify their GHG emissions and to
set targets for emission reductions.
It is therefore vital for REC Silicon to be able to deliver polysilicon that is
low in energy- and carbon intensity. This is also reflected in the ambitions
of the Solar Energy Manufacturing Act of 2022 (SEMA), which aims to
establish a low-carbon supply chain for the industry in the US.
Employees and the local communities
Employees of REC Silicon regard health and job safety, diversity and
inclusion as key factors. Both REC Silicon’s US production facilities are
important contributors to their respective local communities, providing
jobs and tax income. With this follows strict environmental performance
(no pollution) and the protection of ecosystems and biodiversity. The
company maintains close relations with the local communities through
company initiatives, donations and employee volunteer work.
Investors
Through dialogue with investors, all aspects of sustainability are
discussed. Of particular importance to investors in the company are
areas related to climate change, supply-chain management, employee
health and safety and governance. New regulations are also being
introduced worldwide putting increased responsibility on listed
companies to identify impacts, risks and opportunities related to climate
change, attempting to boost transparency on the investment risks for
investors.
Suppliers
REC Silicon’s suppliers echo the commitment to reduce the carbon
footprint of the polysilicon value chain. The Company has started a
project to map the carbon emissions of its upstream value chain and to
engage with the suppliers with the largest footprint to set carbon
emission reduction targets. Further engagement will also include a focus
on human rights management.
GOVERNANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The oversight and ultimate responsibility for sustainability-related
matters lie with the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors review
sustainability matters quarterly with regards to HSE and environmental
performance. General performance on sustainability KPIs, as outlined
above, are reviewed on an annual basis, where the effectiveness of
policies and actions are also assessed. The need for actions and
improvements may result in revised policies and the launch of programs
and initiatives to be implemented in the following year. All targets and
related KPIs are approved by the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors consists of five members, with a 60% female
representation and 60% of the members being independent. The
members have strong sustainability credentials, either as executives
of renewable energy companies or as experts and advisors within
climate-related and renewable energy-related NGOs and investment
businesses. For further details on the Board of Directs, see the
Company Overview Section of the Annual Report.
At the senior management level, the Vice President of HSE, PSM and
HR has the responsibility for health & safety, human resources/social
matters, as well as environmental performance. The organization has
additional administrative resources dedicated to the monitoring of
environmental performance in relation to regulatory reporting
obligations to the US Environmental Protection Authority (EPA).
Such reporting typically covers GHG emissions, emissions to air and
water discharge.
Sustainability-related matters are integrated into the overall risk
management framework of the Company. The risk management system
is in the process of being ISO 14001 certified, which is expected to be
complete during 2023. Group management sets the context in which
risks are managed and supervises the risk management process. Group
management performs separate risk evaluations based on a top-down
approach. Risk assessments are presented to the Audit Committee and
the Board of Directors. The Board conducts a review of risks in
connection with the approval of the annual budget.
Group management regularly updates the Board of Directors including
operational reviews, HSE (Health, Safety and Environment) performance,
financial highlights and key performance indicators. Prior to each Board
meeting, the CEO prepares a report to the Board of Directors, which
includes this information in addition to any items requested by Board
members and items requiring action by the Board of Directors. Because
the Group operates internationally, it is required to comply with
numerous national and international laws and regulations. All business
activities and processes must be conducted in accordance with laws, and
regulations.

2. CLIMATE AND THE ENVIRONMENT
REC Silicon delivers products that are integral to the green transition as
key inputs to the renewable energy industry and to the electronics and
semiconductor industries, both of which are central to the electrification
of society. Climate-related matters therefore represent an opportunity
set for the Company.
At the same time, the Company’s business and value chains are very
energy intensive and result in significant carbon emissions. The value
chains also require substantial water resources, generate emissions to
air, water and soil, and produces large volumes of solid waste. In addition
to these impacts, there are obvious climate-related risks that may affect
the Company going forward, both in terms of physical risks and
transition risks.
IMPACTS
1) CO
2
e emissions
REC Silicon’s current production levels result in around 200,000 tons of
carbon emissions, where the primary driver is energy use. This equals
approximately 46 tons of CO
2
e per ton of product. The Company
recognizes its responsibility to minimize these emissions through
utilizing available technologies, as well as implementing efficiency
improvements in production to reduce energy use and switching to
renewable energy sources.
2) Water use
The company’s operations currently have a gross water consumption of
about 2.5 million cubic meters, equivalent to more than 500 cubic
meters per ton produced. None of the production locations are in areas
of high baseline water stress, according to the World Wildlife Fund’s
Water Risk Filter global dataset. The water discharge amounts to 1.5
million cubic meters, which is subject to strict environmental standards
to ensure that any discharged water is above drinking water standard.
3) Waste
The operations generate in excess of 4,500 tons of waste, equal to one
ton of waste per ton of product. The waste consists mostly of non-
hazardous solid waste generated from processing metallurgical grade
silicon and from air pollution control (scrubbers), which is pressed and
sent to a local landfill for disposal. Less than 0.03% is hazardous waste.
4) Pollution
REC Silicon operates under a minor source air quality permit ensuring
little or no emissions to air. The Company uses scrubbers to capture any
pollutants, as outlined in the separate section on waste above.
RISKS
1) Energy and CO
2
e emissions
With 2.8 terajoule of annual direct and indirect energy usage, REC Silicon
is exposed to risks related to energy supply and costs. The primary
energy source is natural gas, while grid electricity is used as a secondary
energy source. The Company is therefore exposed to future risks related
to energy availability, as well as carbon taxes on fossil energy consumed.
The upstream supply chain is also highly energy intensive and faces
similar risks. Establishing a financially and environmentally sustainable
energy sourcing strategy is therefore highly important.
2) Water resources
While the Company does not operate in areas of high water-stress,
future climate change that leads to increased frequency and severity of
droughts may affect access to water. Storm water management may
also be an issue related to physical climate change due to the risk of
more extreme weather patterns.
3) Waste
Future requirements to increase waste recycling could imply extra costs
for the Company and no meaningful technology exists to turn the solid
waste into recyclable or reusable products. REC Silicon collaborates
with other producers to investigate applicable solutions that could be
used.
OPPORTUNITIES
1) Solar energy
Based on the International energy Agency (IEA) World Energy Outlook
2022, the pathway to 1.5
0
Celsius global warming involves net zero
emissions by 2050. In this scenario, unabated fossil fuels need to be
replaced by about 300 exajoule per year (EJ/year) of low-emission
energy sources with electricity’s share of final energy consumption
required to increase from about 20% today to 50% in 2050. Solar PV
energy supply is expected to make up nearly 40% of the required
increase in renewable energy supply and 25% of total energy supply by
2050. This is equivalent to 124 EJ/year of energy, a 26-fold increase
from the 5 EJ/year provided from solar energy in 2020 and requires an
enormous ramp up of the production capacity of the entire value chain
for solar PV panels. Consequently, the IEA estimates that the global
production capacity for polysilicon needs to double from 2022 to 2030
and increase further thereafter.
2) Battery storage
The electrification of society brings the need for energy storage
solutions, both within transport and for intermittent renewable energy
like solar and wind to ensure stable and efficient grid distribution of
power. It is estimated that battery production needs to increase 100-
fold to keep pace with the energy transition. Silane gas is regarded as a
promising anode material for batteries. In addition to the abundance of
silicon and comparably low cost, silane may provide additional benefits
in reducing the space needed for batteries, improving the energy density,
and allow for more abundant raw materials to be used in the production
of batteries.
REC Silicon Annual Report 2022

Sustainability report
3) Low carbon polysilicon
The expected growth in solar energy production requires substantial
resources to produce all inputs required for the panels. The resource and
energy use involved in manufacturing solar panels is estimated to emit
between 10 and 15 gigatons tons of CO
2
e by 2050, and potentially up to
30 gigatons in a high-growth scenario .
1)
REC Silicon is a member of the Ultra Low-Carbon Solar Alliance, which
has a target to reduce the CO
2
e footprint of solar panels by 50%. This
could save 5-7.5 gigatons of CO
2
e emissions by 2050. Establishing a full
low-carbon value chain for polysilicon is therefore a significant
opportunity for the Company and one which is backed by recent
legislative initiatives in the US.
POLICIES
REC Silicon has established a Code of Conduct and Sustainability Policy
that forms the overriding framework for the management of climate-
related impacts, risks and opportunities, as well as other environmental
matters. The Code sets goals and commitments relating to:
• Reducing the carbon intensity of the polysilicon production
• Increasing the use of renewable energy in the production processes
• Sourcing of raw materials from suppliers using low-carbon
production methods
• Reducing waste at all stages in production and ensure maximum
recycling
• Using a systematic approach to identify, manage, and track air
emissions, storm water management and waste management
The Company has also set a specific commitment to reduce the carbon
intensity per ton of product by 40% within 2027 (base-year 2021).
The objective of The Code is to minimize the impact of the Company’s
operations on the climate and the environment in general, including any
impact on the local communities where the Company operates. The Code
also represents an overall framework for making the Company future-fit
to manage risks related to climate and the environment, as well as
capture opportunities for growth. The Code applies to all the Company’s
operations.
The actions and plans related to the policy objectives are further
outlined below.
ACTIONS AND PLANS
1) Restarting Moses Lake to reduce carbon intensity
The current polysilicon production from REC Silicon’s Butte facility uses
the Siemens technology, which accounts for about 90% of all worldwide
polysilicon production
2)
. The Siemens method is batch-based with
frequent shutdowns and restarts of the reactors. This involves extensive
heating and cooling processes consuming significant amounts of energy.
In contrast, the Moses Lake facility uses the fluidized bed reactor (FBR)
technology, which uses 80%-90% less energy per ton of product than
the Siemens method. Energy consumption is the main driver of the
carbon footprint of polysilicon, along with natural gas. Since the
production capacity of Moses Lake is more than three times higher than
the Butte facility, the carbon intensity of REC Silicon’s overall output
would fall significantly as the production at Moses Lake ramps up. The

Sustainability report
products from the facility are specifically targeting the solar energy
industry, which means that the Company will contribute meaningfully to
reducing the overall carbon footprint of solar panels.
The plan to restart Moses Lake towards the end of 2023 is ambitious
and requires REC Silicon to have success along several critical lines:
• A significant capital expenditure budget and complex operations are
involved in restarting a facility that has been mothballed since 2019
• Adequate product quality must be reached and maintained
• There must be sufficient market demand for the product and long-
term off-take contracts need to be secured
• REC Silicon needs to secure significant funding for the restart project
2) Mapping upstream Scope 3 emissions to
reduce value chain carbon intensity
In addition to its membership in the Ultra Low-Carbon Solar Alliance,
which is involved in the downstream value chain in the solar industry, REC
Silicon believes it can have additional impact in the upstream value chain.
REC Silicon has not assessed its Scope 3 emissions previously, so it is
difficult to set clear and measurable targets for the potential emission
reductions. However, based on various industry reports and scientific
publications on the energy and resource use through the solar industry
value chain, the upstream Scope 3 emissions may be illustrated as in the
graph to the right (tons of CO
2
e per ton of product):
REC Silicon intends to work directly with the major suppliers to calculate
the carbon footprints of the products and/or services delivered to the
Company and use internal data where applicable and possible. The
Company will adhere to the GHG Corporate Value Chain Accounting
Reporting Standard in calculating upstream Scope 3 emissions.
The outcome of the two above-mentioned plans is expected to
contribute to the Code of Conduct and Sustainability Policy’s objective
to reduce the carbon intensity of the Company’s production. Since
Moses Lake has the potential to source renewable hydropower, the
actions may also increase the use of renewable energy in the Company’s
production. Moreover, mapping the upstream Scope 3 emissions will
enable REC Silicon to potentially make choices to source key inputs from
the least carbon-intensive suppliers.
Additional efforts to increase water use efficiency and to explore ways
to recycle or reuse solid waste are in the planning phase and are
expected to become more material in the coming years.

Sustainability report
Climate
During 2022, net production volumes dropped by 4%, while energy
usage increased by 4% so the energy intensity went up by 8% compared
to 2021. The main reason is a change in the product mix in 2022, which
had a higher proportion of polysilicon compared to 2021.
Polysilicon, as the ultimate end-product for the company, is more energy
intensive than silane gas which is used both as an input to polysilicon and
as a stand-alone product. The production of polysilicon uses significantly
more electricity, which explains the 6% increase in electricity
consumption year-over-year.
Another driver for the increased energy use, although more minor, was
higher activity related to preparations started for the start-up of the
Moses Lake facility, which resulted in the number of employees growing
by 25% compared to the previous year.
Despite slightly lower production volumes, Scope 1 emissions were flat
owing to the above-mentioned change in product mix. Scope 2 emissions
were up by 6% in line with increased electricity consumption due to the
11% increase in polysilicon production.
As a result, the carbon intensity increased by 9% from 2021 to
46.1tCO
2
e/ton. The company maintains a target of 25.4 tCO
2
e/ton by
2027. This is driven by the start-up of Moses Lake, which uses 80%-
90% less energy per ton of polysilicon than the Butte facility, the only
active facility in 2022. Moses Lake is due to start up during Q4’23 and
there will likely be limited change in the carbon intensity until 2024.

Restatement of historical figures
For the 2022 report, REC has restated the historical figures for CO
2
emissions and for energy usage. This refers to five items:
• Natural gas consumption has been restated at the request of the US
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), where the adjustment refers
to pass-through volumes of natural gas to an adjacent hydrogen
production facility owned by a third party. This is the main reason for
the reduction in energy consumption.
• The energy mix reported for 2021 included a data error that
classified natural gas consumption as diesel consumption, which
overstated the Scope 1 GHG emission numbers.
• The classification of energy mix has been restated to fit with current
reporting standards, where diesel and gasoline are reported as “crude
and petroleum products”, while propane is reported as “other non-
renewable sources”.
• The denominator for carbon intensity (production volume) has been
changed to reflect that part of the silane production volumes is used
as input in polysilicon production, so to avoid double counting, only
the net silane production is used to measure carbon intensity. Actual
production numbers for polysilicon have also been updated and
corrected. Carbon intensity is now calculated based on market-based
Scope 2 emissions.
• Updated CO
2
factors for grid electricity purchased in the WECC
Northwest NWPP region.
• Carbon intensity is now market based, while the 2021 and 2020
figures were location based.

Environment
Water withdrawal was up from the previous year, owing to the previously
mentioned change in product mix which is more energy and water
intensive than was the case for 2021. As before, around 60% of the
water is discharged back to surface water where the water quality is
subject to strict regulatory requirements.
Waste volumes and intensity was lower in 2022 than in 2021. Only a
small fraction (0.7%) was diverted from disposal for recycling. Of the
total waste, only a fraction (0.03%) is hazardous waste, while 96% is
solid waste from production and from scrubbers used to capture
emissions. There are still few, if any, solutions for the reuse or recycling
of this waste, which explains why the recycling rate still is low.
REC Silicon experienced a total of 6 environmental permit breaches
during 2022, double that of the previous year. Of these, four were WET
test failures for pollutants in wastewater, while one refers to an NPDES
permit violation where the company failed to have a compliant sample of
wastewater and one refers to a DEW WPB inspection. While the company
is not satisfied with the increase in breaches, none of the 2022 incidents
were serious.

3. HEALTH AND SAFETY
Health and safety have the highest priority and REC Silicon aims to
prevent all work-related accidents, injuries, and occupational illnesses.
The target is zero incidents, zero injuries, and no harm to employees,
contractors, partners, customers, and communities. Maintaining a strong
health and safety performance represents the Company’s license to
operate.
POLICIES
The Code of Conduct and Sustainability Policy sets goals and
commitments for health and safety. REC Silicon follows the strategy that
all accidents, injuries, and occupational illnesses are preventable.
REC Silicon aims for every activity to be carried out safely and securely
and to comply with the highest international health, safety and security
standards and the prevailing laws and regulations everywhere the
Company operates. The Company aims for continuous improvement and
to empower all organizational levels to implement a management
approach based on the principles of precaution, prevention, protection,
and risk management.
ACTIONS AND PLANS
REC Silicon has an extensive set of HSE procedures, safety departments
at each facility, and employee-driven processes that monitor, audit and
further develop safety procedures, practices, and protocols. Health and
Safety actions and plans are continuous efforts that focus on:
• Design, engineering practices, administrative controls and
safe work practices
• Personal protective equipment
• Educational materials and continuous safety training
• Obligation for employees to report all safety concerns
• On-site emergency teams and off-site back up response teams
• Safe job analysis and hazard recognition audits
• Visible safety information in all facilities with updated logs visible
to all employees
Workplace safety and health is communicated to all employees in a
monthly safety meeting. This meeting provides updated information to
the employees and a platform for them to raise any concerns. The
processing of such concerns shall be documented and addressed in the
subsequent safety meeting.
REC Silicon requires its suppliers and business partners to share the
same commitment. The Company monitors the suppliers’ safety records
annually to ensure that safe work practices are strictly adhered to and
that all measures to ensure a safe and healthy work environment for
their employees are taken. Suppliers shall be able to provide records
upon the request of REC Silicon.
TARGETS AND PERFORMANCE
The Company has targets for three of the KPIs related to health and
safety. The performance is benchmarked against the national average
for REC Silicon’s NAICS industry classification (Non-ferrous metals

TARGET
TARGET
VALUE COMMENT
LTI rate 0
TRIF 0
Serious incidents 0
TRIF < National Industry
Average
< 100% NAICS Non-ferrous metal
(except aluminum) manufacturing
Health and safety performance improved during 2022 with the number
of lost time injuries dropping by 75% from 2021. The company is also
well below the national average for its industry, as defined by NAICS
Sector 331410 and reported by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. The
reduction was driven by an increased emphasis on root causes and
having an on-site PA to manage injuries, as well as closer collaboration
with employees in understanding the jobs.
The number of Safe Job Analysis fell by 6% year-on-year and the
Company has a focus in 2023 to reinvigorate this process and get
employees re-engaged to understand the optionality for doing these
analyses during normal work hours. The number of Hazard Recognition
Audits increased by 5% as a total of 20 audits were completed at Moses
Lake in preparation for the start-up of production.

ACTIONS AND PLANS
REC Silicon has ongoing community participation through United Way,
Relay for Life and Adoption of Families for Christmas. The Company also
participates in local Emergency Planning Committees. Employees are
allocated time off to participate in voluntary local community activities.
During the recruiting and hiring phase at Moses Lake, training has been
implemented to ensure hiring managers understand the philosophy of
unconscious biases and ensure that we are selecting the most qualified
candidates regardless of gender, ethnicity, race, or any other factors. All
of Management in the hiring process are currently subject to ongoing
training. Ultimately, REC Silicon’s goal is to be the company of choice due
to its offering of equal opportunities for employees.
In addition, manager core training is being offered to ensure that
Management gives solid constructive feedback and improve listening
skills. This is the foundation of building good interplant relationships at
all levels of the organization. Executive Management supports and
encourages this type of training initially and on an on-going basis.
TARGETS AND PERFORMANCE
The total workforce increased by 25% during 2022, primarily related
to the preparations for the restart of Moses Lake, which accounted for
roughly 70% of the increase in personnel. The gender balance is
relatively stable, and the company has not succeeded in attracting an
increased female representation in new hires, apart from a slight
increase in leadership positions. The female/male pay gap is at 90%,
which is reasonable, but can be improved.
REC Silicon now reports on a significantly expanded format when it comes
to its workforce composition. The new data will be considered for future
actions and plans to address imbalances and future targets. Data for
training has been compiled on a manual basis for 2022 (5,595 hours in
total), but the number of training hours are now being tracked automatically
from 2023 as part of the overall tracking system for the company.

GOVERNANCE
Describe the board’s oversight of climate-related
risks and opportunities
The Board of Directors considers climate-related matters when reviewing and guiding strategy, risk management
policies and business plans, as well as setting performance objectives. Climate-related risks are part of the overall risk
framework for the Company and are reviewed regularly by the Board and at least quarterly. Climate-related opportunities
are reviewed frequently and are considered particularly relevant as the Company is part of the value chain for the
fast-growing solar PV industry. In yearly meetings, the Board will consider progress towards climate-related goals and
targets, relevant policy frameworks and set new performance goals and targets, where relevant.
Describe the management’s role in assessing and
managing climate-related risks and opportunities
Project and operational risks are reported monthly to the management along with related KPIs and are considered by the
executive management at least quarterly. Climate-related opportunities are managed as part of the Company’s ongoing
business and strategy. The responsibilities are distributed across the management level, with a separate function
responsible for oversight of sustainability in general, including climate-related risks and opportunities. A full overview of
all sustainability matters, including climate-related risks and opportunities, are presented to the Board of Directors once
a year for approval in preparation for the annual- and sustainability reports.
STRATEGY
Describe the climate-related risks and
opportunities the organization has identified
over the short, medium and long term
See risks and opportunity table on page 21. REC Silicon defines short term as 0-2 years, medium term 3-5 years and
long term more than 5 years. This is in line with the time horizons specified in the draft ESRS of the EU Corporate
Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The process to determine which of the climate-related risks and opportu-
nities that could have a material financial impact has been integrated into the Company’s overall strategic plan, which
involves re-starting the Moses Lake facility to capture growth opportunities in the Solar PV industry and in sourcing
raw materials from low-carbon suppliers to lower the life-cycle carbon footprint of the Company’s products.
Describe the impact of climate related risks and
opportunities on the organization’s business,
strategy and financial planning
The transition to a low-carbon society involves the electrification of energy supply, as well as digitalization of society.
The Company supplies polysilicon, which is a key input in both solar PV panels and in semiconductors and is therefore an
integral part of the “green transition”. The strategy is therefore to aggressively pursue growth in these industries. REC
Silicon is committing substantial financial resources to re-start the Moses Lake facility, securing financing both from
external sources and through commercial arrangements as part of the financial planning process. The Company’s value
chains are energy- and emission intensive and it is therefore strategically imperative to minimize production related
GHG emissions. The Company follows a clear strategy to significantly grow its production of low-carbon polysilicon and
silane gases, as part of an industry-wide effort.
Describe the resilience of the organization’s
strategy, taking into consideration different
climate-related scenarios, including a 2
0
C or lower
scenario
The Company has undertaken scenario analyses for the demand for the solar PV industry, as part of its long-term
strategy. In particular, the various scenarios published by the International Energy Agency (IEA) have been considered
to inform the Company’s strategy with regards to growth opportunities, as well as the need to secure access to raw
materials and inputs, as well as energy sources, that are resilient to both physical and transition risks. Tighter scenarios
involving global warming in line with the Paris Agreement (1.5
0
C) is likely to provide substantial growth opportunities for
the Company’s products targeting the solar PV industry. Looser scenarios implying increased levels of global warming
are also likely to result in significant market growth for the Company’s products. In both cases, the high energy intensity
of the operations expose the Company to risks related to energy prices in general, and carbon taxes on fossil fuel
sources in particular. This is primarily managed through focusing capacity expansion on production processes that
consume significantly less energy than conventional methods. This reduces the carbon footprint of the Company’s
products by more than 70% compared to conventional polysilicon. Overall, the Company believes its strategy is resilient
towards climate-related risks and opportunities.

RISK MANAGEMENT
Describe the organization’s processes for
identifying and assessing climate-related risks
Risks of a more strategic nature are identified and assessed through continuous stakeholder dialogue and participation
in collaboration and initiatives across the value chain. In general, it involves mapping of supply chains to ensure access
to low-carbon raw materials and a high degree of renewable energy sources. Operational climate-related risks are iden-
tified and assessed continuously as part of the risk management system. The risk management system is in the process
of being ISO 14001 certified, expected to be completed during 2023, which will include a continuous improvement plan.
Describe the organization’s processes for
managing climate-related risks
The key strategic risk element is to ensure low-carbon raw materials and energy sources. Raw materials are sourced
through long-term frame agreements with key suppliers that are chosen on the basis of security of supply and low car-
bon footprints. Energy for the production processes is, where possible, secured from renewable sources, such as hydro-
power. Generic risks related to operations are managed as part of the overall safety and risk management system.
Describe how processes for identifying,
assessing and managing climate-related risks
are integrated into the organization’s overall
risk management
Generic risks are managed at group level through the general risk management system, including physical climate
risks like adverse weather and water scarcity. Longer term risks, like transition risks, are part of the overall strategic
framework of the Company and are integrated into long-term planning, along with the corresponding climate-related
opportunities.
METRICS AND TARGETS
Disclose the metrics used by the organization to
assess climate-related risks and opportunities
in line with its strategy and risk management
process
The key metric used is Scope 1 + 2 GHG emissions per ton of product produced. This also involves sub metrics such
as energy intensity per ton of product produced and the percentage of renewable energy used in production.
Scope 2 emissions are market based. The GHG emissions are calculated in line with the GHG Protocol.
Disclose Scope 1, Scope 2, and, if appropriate,
Scope 3 GHG emissions, and the related risks
GHG emissions have been reported annually since 2011 (Scope 1 + 2). See Climate Disclosures in this report.
The Company has also committed to assess its upstream Scope 3 emissions within 2027.
Describe the targets used by the organization to
manage climate-related risks and opportunities
and performance against targets
The Company has a target to reduce the GHG intensity of its production (Scope 1 and 2) by 40% by 2027 with 2021 as the
baseline. The Company is starting a process to map its upstream Scope 3 emissions and will consider setting targets
relating to this in the future.

The Group’s strategies, business goals and risk profile are reviewed on
an annual basis and presented in the annual report, quarterly reports,
and at various investor meetings.
3. EQUITY AND DIVIDENDS
The Group’s consolidated equity was USD 60.4 million at December 31,
2022, which represented 18.9 percent of total assets. The debt-to-
equity ratio was 4.3. The Board monitors the Group’s capital structure
and takes actions necessary to ensure that it is appropriate for the
current objectives, strategy, and risk profile. Reference is also made to
the consolidated financial statements note 3.3 regarding capital
structure and financing and note 3.1 regarding financial risk and to the
report of the Board.

REC Silicon Annual Report 2022

The Group’s ambition is to give its shareholders a high and stable return
on their investment and to be competitive compared with alternative
investment opportunities with comparable risk. To support committed
investments and productivity improvements, the Board’s view so far has
been that retained earnings should be used within the Company.
Accordingly, there has been no distribution of dividends to the
shareholders since the Company was publicly listed in 2006, and no
proposed dividend payments for the financial year 2022.
The Board will continue to assess the capital structure based on the
goals, strategies, risk profile, and the financial situation of the Company.
At the Annual General Meeting (AGM) on June 22, 2022, the Board was
granted the following authorities:
• Authority to increase the share capital with up to NOK 84,125,000
through one or several share capital increases. The authorization to
acquire shares may be used for one or more of the following purposes:
- in connection with investments, acquisitions, or other corporate
purposes
- for use for incentive programs for employees
• Authority to acquire treasury shares in the Company (up to a
maximum of ten percent of the face value of the share capital).
As of December 31, 2022, the authorization has not been used.
These authorities were restricted for defined purposes and each
mandate was considered separately. They are valid until the AGM in
2023 or no later than 15 months from the date of the 2022 AGM.
For further information about the mandates given to the Board,
reference is made to the minutes from REC Silicon’s 2022 AGM
and EGMs, which are available on the Company’s website
(www.recsilicon.com).
4. EQUAL TREATMENT OF SHAREHOLDERS AND
TRANSACTIONS WITH CLOSE ASSOCIATES
The Company seeks to conform to the principles for equal treatment
of shareholders. In the event of a share capital increase based on
authorization from the general meeting, where the pre-emptive rights
of shareholders are set aside, grounds will be provided in the stock
exchange notice in which the share capital increase is announced.
In the event of a share buy-back program, the Board will aim to ensure
that all related transactions are carried out either through the trading
system or at prevailing prices at Oslo Børs. The Board will consider
company’s and shareholders’ interests and aim to maintain transparency
and equal treatment of all shareholders. In the event of limited liquidity
in the Company’s shares, the Company shall consider other ways to
ensure equal treatment of all shareholders. There were no transactions
in own shares during 2022.
5. FREELY NEGOTIABLE SHARES
REC Silicon has one class of shares and each share confers one voting
right at the General Meetings. The Company’s shares are listed on the
Oslo Stock Exchange, where they are freely transferable. There are no
restrictions on owning, trading or voting for shares in the Articles of
Association.
6. GENERAL MEETINGS
The Board shall ensure that as many of the Company’s shareholders as
possible are able to exercise their voting rights at the Company’s general
meetings, and that the general meeting is an effective forum for
shareholders and the Board. Extraordinary general meetings (EGM) can
be called by the Board of Directors if deemed necessary or be requested
by the company’s auditor or shareholders representing at least 5% of
the company’s share capital.
Notification
The Board of Directors ensures that the resolutions and supporting
information distributed are sufficiently detailed, comprehensive and
specific, allowing shareholders to form a view on all matters to be
considered at the meeting. The notice of the General Meeting and
supporting documents are made available on the Company’s website no
later than 3 weeks prior to the date of the meeting. The deadline for
shareholders to give attendance notice is set as close to the date of the
meeting as possible, and minimum 5 days prior to the General Meeting.
Shareholders may request that specific matters be considered by a
general meeting by written notice to the Board within 7 days prior to the
time limit for notice of the General Meeting together with a proposal for
resolution and reasons why the matter is proposed for consideration. If
the notice has already been distributed, a new notice shall be distributed
if the time limit for notice to the General Meeting has not expired.
Participation and execution
The Chairman of the Board, the Board members, the auditor, and the
members of the Nomination Committee are normally present at the
General Meeting. All Board members are encouraged to attend the
meeting.
The Chairman of the Board nominates an independent chair for election
to lead the meeting.
The right to participate and vote at the general meeting may only be
exercised by shareholders whose shareholdings are entered in the
Norwegian Central Securities Depository (the “VPS”), on the fifth day
prior to the general meeting, as stipulated by the Articles of Association
in accordance with statutory law. Instead of participating at the general
meeting, shareholders may vote in advance or grant a proxy, with or
without voting instructions as further described in this notice.
The AGM is held by the end of June every year in the municipality where
the Company has its registered business address or in Oslo. If required,
the Board may hold the AGM digitally. The 2022 Annual General Meeting
was held digitally on June 22, with 39.67% of the Company’s shares
represented.
Board of Directors’ report on corporate governance
REC Silicon Annual Report 2022

On May 2, 2022, the Board called for an EGM in connection with the
election of new members to the Board of Directors, with 35.79% of the
shares represented.
On October 21, 2022, the Board called for an EGM in connection with
the election of new members to the Board, with 45.93% of the shares
represented.
On December 1, 2022, the Board called for an EGM in connection with
the election of an additional member to the Board, with 40.54% of the
shares represented.
Deviation from the Code of Practice
The Code recommends separate voting for candidates to the Board.
However, it is not possible to vote separately on each candidate
nominated to the Board because the composition of the Board must be
in accordance with applicable legislation regarding gender
representation and qualifications for committee assignments. The
nomination committee’s proposal is given with respect to such
legislation. Should a situation arise where the composition of the Board
might conflict with applicable legislation, the situation, and
consequences of electing a board contrary to legislation should be
discussed at the General Meeting and shareholders should base their
votes on the views discussed.
7. NOMINATION COMMITTEE
The Nomination Committee is governed by the Articles of Association
section 6. The AGM on June 22, 2022, elected the following three
members for the Nomination Committee for the period until the AGM in
2023: Mr. Junghey Chae (chair), Dr. Sungchoon Kang, and Dr. Jieun Lee.
The nomination committee does not include any executive personnel or
any member of the Board. Mr. Junghey Chae is an employee of the
Company’s main shareholders. The remaining members of the
Nomination Committee are independent of the Board and Group
Management.
The General Meeting stipulates the rules of procedure for the
Nomination Committee and determines the Committees’ remuneration.
The Nomination Committee gives its recommendation to the General
Meeting on election of and compensation to members of the Board, in
addition to election of members of the Nomination Committee. Each
proposal is justified on an individual basis. All shareholders are entitled
to nominate candidates to the Board, and information on how to propose
candidates can be found on the Company’s website.
8. BOARD OF DIRECTORS:
COMPOSITION AND INDEPENDENCE
Pursuant to the Articles of Association section 6, the Company’s Board
shall consist of three to twelve members. On 31 December 2022, the
Board consisted of five members (see table below), of which three were
female and independent from the main shareholders. The directors are
elected by the General Meeting for a term of one year and may be re-
elected.
The EGM on May 2, 2022, elected Mr. Koo Yung LEE as chair, Mr. Maeng
Yoon KIM as deputy chair, Dr. Renate Oberhoffer-Fritz, and Ms. Heike
Heiligtag, to replace Kristian Monsen Røkke as chair, Anette Malm
Justad as deputy chair, Audun Stensvold, Lene Landøy, and Mr. Seung
Deok PARK.
The EGM on October 21, 2022, elected Mr. Tae Won JUN (chair), Mr.
Dong Kwan KIM (deputy chair), and Ms. Paraskevi (Vivian) Bertseka, to
replace Mr. Koo Yung LEE as chair, Mr. Maeng Yoon KIM as deputy chair,
and Ms. Heike Heiligtag subsequent to her prior resignation. Dr. Renate
Oberhoffer-Fritz was retained from the prior Board.
The EMG on December 22, 2022, elected Ms. Roberta Benedetti as a
fifth Board member.

Board of Directors’ report on corporate governance
REC Silicon Annual Report 2022

All members of the Board are considered independent of the Company’s
executive management and material business contacts.
The Company’s annual report and the website provides information to
illustrate the expertise of the members of the Board. The Board
considers its composition to be diverse and represent required
competencies including financial and industrial experience. Board
members are encouraged to own shares in the Company. An overview
of Board members’ share ownership in the Company is available in note
16 to the consolidated financial statements.
9. WORK OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board has the ultimate responsibility for the management of the
Company and the Group and for supervising Group Management.
The Board has adopted “Rules of procedures for the Board of Directors,”
which regulates the Board’s responsibilities, duties, and administrative
procedures as well as the tasks and duties of the Chief Executive Officer.
The Board has also adopted a Chart of Authority regulating matters that
are to be decided by the Board and matters that may be decided by
Group Management. The Chart of Authority distinguishes between
investment decisions, customer contracts, procurement contracts,
compensation, and finance and is reviewed on an annual basis. The Board
holds at least one meeting per year with the auditor and without any
members of Group Management or administration present.
The Board has adopted guidelines to ensure it is informed of and how
to handle potential transactions and matters to be considered by the
Board, in which members of the Board, Group Management or close
associates are involved. The Board must review and approve all
transactions between the Group and Group Management or the Board.
The Company uses independent third-party valuations in case of
significant transactions with closely related parties which are not to
be considered by the General Meeting. There was one agreement
announced in 2022 between the Group and its shareholders, directors,
Group Management or other related parties that could be described as
a material transaction. Details on the related-party transaction are
disclosed in the consolidated financial statements, note 10.
The Board has established two committees: an Audit Committee and
a Compensation Committee.
Audit Committee
The Company’s Audit Committee is governed by the Norwegian Public
Limited Liability Companies Act and the Audit Committee Charter, which
sets out the tasks and rules of procedure of the Committee.
The Committee members are appointed by and among the Board of
Directors. At December 31, 2022, the Audit Committee members were
Dr. Renate Oberhoffer-Fritz, Ms. Paraskevi (Vivian) Bertseka. On
February 22, 2023, Roberta Benedetti was appointed by the Board of
Directors as an additional member of the Audit Committee. The Audit
Committee held 6 meetings in 2022.
The Audit Committee supports the Board with the assessment and
control of financial risk, financial reporting, auditing, control, and prepares
discussions and resolutions for Board meetings. It has no decision-making
authority. The Audit Committee reviews complaints regarding accounting,
internal controls, and auditing matters. In addition, under the whistle-
blower procedure, complaints from employees and other concerned
parties are received and followed up by the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee makes recommendations to the Board with
respect to the Group auditor and the auditor’s fees, as assessing the
auditor’s independence, including considering any non-audit-related
services provided.
Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee is governed by the Norwegian Public
Limited Liability Companies Act and the Compensation Committee
Charter, which sets out the tasks and procedures of the Committee. The
Compensation Committee members are appointed by and among the
Board of Directors. At December 31, 2022, the Compensation
Committee members were Tae Won JUN and Dong Kwan KIM, both
independent of the Group Management. During 2022, the Compensation
Committee met three times.
The Compensation Committee supports the Board by preparing
resolutions on the terms and conditions of employment for the Chief
Executive Officer and the general principles and strategies for
compensation of Group Management including bonus and share based
compensation as well as other personnel matters.
10. RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROL
The Group’s risk management system shall ensure that the Group has a
systematic and uniform approach to risk management. The system
defines roles, responsibilities, processes and procedures, standards,
tools and documentation, including considerations related to integrating
stakeholders in relation to the Company’s value creation.
Group Management sets the context in which risks are managed and
supervises the risk management process. Group Management performs
separate risk evaluations based on a top-down approach. Risk
assessments are presented to the Audit Committee and the Board. The
Board performs a review of risks in connection with the approval of the
annual budget.
Group Management regularly updates the Board including operational
reviews, HSE (Health, Safety and Environment) measures, financial
highlights and key performance indicators. Prior to each Board meeting,
the Chief Executive Officer prepares a report to the Board, which
includes this information in addition to any items requested by Board
members and items requiring action by the Board. The Chief Executive
Board of Directors’ report on corporate governance
REC Silicon Annual Report 2022

Officer also has pre-meetings and informal discussions with the Board
throughout the year.
Because the Group operates internationally, it is required to comply with
numerous national and international laws and regulations. All business
activities and processes must be conducted in accordance with laws, and
regulations.
To strengthen internal control, the Group has established an
Anticorruption Policy and procedures, provided training to employees
and managers, and performed a fraud risk assessment. Whistleblower
complaints and other internal control activities are presented to the
Audit Committee according to the Audit Committee charter.
To ensure consistent financial reporting throughout the Group, financial
information is reported through a computerized financial reporting
system utilizing a common chart of accounts and procedures designed
to ensure the consistency of information reported. Subsidiaries
accumulate transactional information, period end balances, and
performance statistics through ERP systems designed to meet the
business requirements of each operation. Quarterly and year-end
reporting processes are expanded to meet various supplementary
requirements.
The quarterly and yearly reporting process and significant accounting
and reporting issues are discussed with the Audit Committee in the
presence of the external auditor.
The Group’s financial risk management is described in the consolidated
financial statements (note 3). Reference is also made to the Board of
Directors’ report that includes an analysis of the financial statements
and the risk factors.
11. REMUNERATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The members of the Board receive remuneration in accordance with
their individual roles. Prior to May 12, 2020, Board members who
participate in the Audit Committee or the Compensation Committee
received additional compensation.
Board remuneration is not linked to Company performance and members
are not granted share options.
Details on the remuneration of the Board of Directors are disclosed in
the consolidated financial statements (note 16).
Members of the Board and/or companies with which they are associated
should not take on specific assignments for the Company in addition to
their appointment as a member of the Board, but if they do, this shall be
disclosed to the full Board. The remuneration for such additional duties
will be approved by the Board. There were no such assignments in 2022.
12. REMUNERATION OF THE GROUP MANAGEMENT
The guidelines for salary and other compensation to Executive
Management was presented at the AGM in June 2022. The policy was
last updated in 2022 and was approved by the general meeting. The
Board determines remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer while
remuneration of Group Management is determined according to
guidelines. The Board’s statement regarding compensation of leading
employees, required by accounting act act §7-31b, is included in note 16
of the consolidated financial statements.
The remuneration of the Group Management consists of a basic salary,
relevant additional benefits and membership in the Company’s pension
and insurance schemes. The remuneration also includes performance
bonuses for selected individuals based on an annual performance related
compensation system. In addition, the Board has adopted an incentive
program for retaining key personnel. The performance bonuses are linked
to the Group’s financial performance and defined KPI’s over time and
includes incentives related to performance the employees can influence.
There are absolute limits for the performance-related remuneration,
where maximum performance bonus pay-out for the management varies
between 25 and 50 percent of the annual basic salary.
Details on the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and other
members of Group Management are disclosed in the consolidated
financial statements (note 16).
The Board extended the long-term incentive program for retaining key
personnel, whereby employees’ entitlements are linked to the share price
development of the Company’s shares. The share-based program was
introduced in 2014 and includes a lock-up period for shares awarded and
an absolute limit for the maximum gain in each calendar year, however, no
shares were issued in 2022. Further details on the incentive program is
disclosed in note 32 of the consolidated financial statements.
The 2022 AGM voted separately on the compensation to leading
employees and the statement regarding long-term incentive plans.
13. INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION
The Company treats its investors equally. Timely information is published
simultaneously to all investors in accordance with applicable legislation
and regulation in order to provide the best possible basis for evaluation
of Company performance. All information is provided in English.
The Board adopted an Investor Relations (IR) policy specifying, among
other things, who is entitled to speak on behalf of the Company on
various subjects and with guidelines for the Company’s contact with
shareholders other than through General Meetings.
Interim reports are published on a quarterly basis, in line with Oslo Stock
Exchange’s recommendations. Interim reports include presentations to
provide an overview of operational and financial developments, market
outlook, and the Company’s prospects. The presentations are open to
the public and made available through a webcast. The Chief Executive
Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the IR Officer are normally
present at the quarterly presentations. Furthermore, the Company
keeps an ongoing dialogue with its investors and makes presentations to
analysts and investors through various conferences and events.
Board of Directors’ report on corporate governance
REC Silicon Annual Report 2022

The Company observes a “Silent Period” extending from the last day of
the quarter until operating results are released publicly. During this
period, Group Management is not available for discussions with
investors or analysts. The IR Officer is available on a limited basis to
provide material previously released and to facilitate the collection and
distribution of consensus forecasts. The Investor Relations function is in
charge of coordinating the Company’s communications to the market
and to existing and potential investors of the Company. The IR Officer is
an independent contractor that reports to the Chief Financial Officer.
14. TAKE-OVERS
The Company has no defence mechanism to prevent take-over bids.
The Board is open to initiatives that are commercially and financially
attractive for the shareholders. The Board will assess potential offers in
accordance with applicable legislation and Code of Practice
requirements in due course.
Any transaction that effectively constitutes a disposal of a majority of
the Company’s activities will be decided by the General Meeting.
Deviation from the Code of Practice
The Board has not established separate guidelines in the event of a take-
over bid as recommended by the Code of Practice. Take-over bids are
usually specific, one-off, events which makes preparation of guidelines
challenging. In the event of a take-over process, the Board will ensure
that the Company’s shareholders are treated equally, and that the
Company’s activities are not unnecessarily interrupted. The Board will
further seek to comply with the relevant recommendations from the
Code of Practice.
15. AUDITOR
The Company’s external auditor, KPMG, is appointed by the General
Meeting and is independent from the Company.
The auditor participates at Board meetings with respect to the Annual
Financial Statements. The auditor comments on any material changes in
the Company’s accounting principles, material estimates used to
calculate accounting figures, and reports disagreements between the
auditor and Group Management.
The auditor presents significant identified weaknesses and proposals
for improvements of the internal control procedures annually to the
Board with an annual confirmation that the auditor has satisfied the
requirements for independence together with a summary of all services
provided to the Group. The auditor meets with the Audit Committee and
the Board at least once a year without the Chief Executive Officer or any
other member of the Group Management present.
The auditor is also required to participate in meetings of the Audit
Committee and present the main features of the audit plan to the
Committee.
Remuneration of the auditor is approved by the General Meeting.
The auditor provides a break-down between audit and non-audit
services, and information is provided to the General Meeting about
non-audit services provided by the auditor. The Board has issued
guidelines regarding Group Management’s use of the auditor for
services other than audit. These guidelines include a list of services
that are preapproved for fees up to NOK 500,000 and requires audit
committee approval for all other non-audit services or if fees are more
than NOK 500,000. For more information about remuneration to the
auditor, see note 22 to the consolidated financial statements.
The auditor participates at the AGM and presents the independent
auditor’s report.

Notes to the consolidated financial
statements, REC Silicon Group
REC Silicon Annual Report 2022
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REC SILICON GROUP
REC Silicon ASA was established in Norway on December 3, 1996.
The Company is headquartered in Lysaker, Norway.
Company and its subsidiaries (together, “REC Silicon Group” or
“Group”) have a presence in the international solar energy industry.
Group operations are focused on the production of polysilicon and
silicon gases for the solar and electronics industries.
The Company is a public limited liability company incorporated and
domiciled in Norway. The address of its registered office is Lysaker
Torg 5, 3. etg, Lysaker, Norway.
These consolidated financial statements have been approved for
issue by the Board of Directors on March 23, 2023 and are subject to
approval by the Annual General Meeting scheduled for May 11, 2023.
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these
consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies
have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless
otherwise stated.
2.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION AND STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
The financial statements are presented in USD, rounded to the
nearest tenth of million, unless otherwise stated. As a result of
rounding adjustments, the figures in one or more rows or columns
included in the financial statements and notes may not add up to
the total of that row or column.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as
adopted by the EU (IFRS), relevant interpretations, and the
Norwegian Accounting Act. The consolidated financial statements
have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for
shareholdings at fair value through profit or loss.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS
requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. Actual
outcomes may differ substantially. It also requires management to
exercise judgment in applying the Group’s accounting policies.
Areas involving a high degree of judgment or complexity, and areas
where assumptions and estimates have a significant impact are
disclosed in note 4.
2.2 CONSOLIDATION
(A) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Company
controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable
returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to
affect those returns through its power over the investee.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date control is obtained
until the date that control ceases.
All subsidiaries are owned 100 percent and there are no non-
controlling interests.
Intercompany transactions, balances, and unrealized gains on
transactions between group companies are eliminated.
(B) Joint ventures
A joint venture is an arrangement where two or more parties have
joint control. Joint control exists only when decisions require the
unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Investments in
joint ventures are accounted for by the equity method of accounting.
(C) Associates
Associates are entities over which the Group has significant
influence but not control. Investments in associates are accounted
for by the equity method of accounting.
2.3 SEGMENT REPORTING
REC Silicon produces silicon gas and polysilicon for the
semiconductor industries at its manufacturing facility in Butte,
Montana. The Company also produces polysilicon for the
photovoltaic industry at its manufacturing facility in Moses Lake,
Washington. The Company’s organization structure, management
team, operating strategy, and performance measurement reporting
support the determination that these businesses represent
separate distinguishable operating segments. Accordingly, there
are two operating segments: Solar Materials (Moses Lake,
Washington) and Semiconductor Materials (Butte, Montana). The
operating segments include revenues less cost of manufacturing.
Cost of manufacturing includes direct and indirect manufacturing
costs and does not include general, administrative, and selling
expenses. Other includes general, administrative, and selling
expenses which support both operating segments in addition to
administrative costs for the Company’s headquarters in Lysaker,
Norway. Eliminations include the reversal of the impact of
transactions between group members and affiliates. The results of
the operating segments plus Other and Eliminations taken together
reconcile to total EBITDA and EBIT for the Group.
Group Management is headed by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO),
and the CEO makes decisions regarding the allocation of resources
1 GENERAL INFORMATION
2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Notes to the consolidated financial
statements, REC Silicon Group
REC Silicon Annual Report 2022
and performance assessment for all segments. Accordingly, the
CEO is regarded as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM).
An operating segment is a distinguishable component of the Group
that is engaged in providing products that are subject to similar
risks and returns and corresponds to management reporting.
2.4 FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
(A) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s
entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”).
The Group’s reporting currency continues to be USD. Accordingly,
these consolidated financial statements are presented in USD.
(B) Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional
currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates on the
reporting date. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from
the settlement, or the translation of monetary assets and liabilities
are recognized in the statement of income, except when deferred in
equity as qualifying hedges or as a part of a net investment.
(C) Group companies
The results and financial position of all the Group entities that have
a functional currency different from the presentation currency are
translated into the presentation currency as follows:
(i) Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position
presented are translated at the closing rate;
(ii) Income and expenses for each statement of income are
translated at average exchange rates for the reporting period
(based on monthly average rates); and
(iii) All resulting exchange differences from translation are
recognized as a separate component of other comprehensive
income (OCI).
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation
of the net investment in subsidiaries, including monetary items that
are regarded as a part of the net investment, are included in OCI.
When a subsidiary is disposed of, exchange differences are
recognized in the statement of income as part of the gain or loss on
sale. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, an intercompany loan from
REC Silicon ASA to REC Silicon, Inc. of USD 131.8 million was
regarded as a part of the net investment in REC Silicon Inc.
2.5 CURRENT/NON-CURRENT
Assets and liabilities are classified as current when they are
expected to be realized or settled within 12 months after the
reporting date.
2.6 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and un-reversed impairment losses. Cost includes
expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition,
construction, or installation of the item. Borrowing costs incurred
for the construction of qualifying assets are capitalized during the
period required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended
use. Costs are included in an asset’s carrying amount when it is
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item
will flow to the Group and costs can be measured reliably.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based on
the costs of the assets less any residual value over their estimated
useful lives.
2.7 INTANGIBLE ASSETS
(A) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over
the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets.
Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Goodwill related to equity accounted investments is included in the
carrying value of investments. At December 31, 2022 and 2021 the
Group had no goodwill.
(B) Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets that have finite useful lives are carried at
cost less accumulated amortization and un-reversed impairment.
Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method on the
costs of assets over their estimated useful lives from the date they
are available for use. The Group has no intangible assets with
indefinite useful lives.
(C) Research and development
Research expenditures are recognized in expense as incurred.
Development expenditures (relating to the design, construction and
testing of a chosen alternative for new or improved materials,
devices, products, processes, or systems) are capitalized when it is
probable that the project will be successful considering its
commercial and technological feasibility. Costs expensed in prior
reporting periods are not later capitalized. Other development
expenditures are recognized in expense as incurred.
2.8 IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be
recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized in the statement of
income for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount
exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The recoverable amount
is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use.
For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the
lowest level for which cash inflows that are largely independent
from the cash inflows associated with other assets can be
identified (cash-generating units). Generally, any impairment is
allocated to goodwill first, then proportionately to other non-
current assets within a cash-generating unit. Assets other than

Notes to the consolidated financial
statements, REC Silicon Group
REC Silicon Annual Report 2022
goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible
reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
Impairment includes losses associated with assets determined to
have no future economic benefits and assets that are replaced prior
to the end of their useful lives.
2.9 FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Financial assets are classified and subsequently measured at
amortized cost, fair value through profit or loss, or fair value
through other comprehensive income based on both the use of the
assets within the entity’s business model and the nature of the cash
flows. A financial asset is derecognized when expired or when the
entity no longer has control of the cash flows related to the assets.
Any rights or obligations retained in any transfer of assets are
booked separately as assets or liabilities. Financial liabilities are
classified and subsequently measured at amortized cost, except for
financial liabilities (including derivatives) which are classified at fair
value.
2.10 ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Derivatives are recognized at fair value on the date a derivative
contract is entered into and are subsequently measured for
changes in fair value. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair
value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative
unless the Group has the intention and ability to settle the contracts
net. The method of recognizing resulting gains or losses depends on
whether the derivative is designated and qualifies as a hedging
instrument and the nature of the item being hedged. Derivatives are
categorized as held for trading unless they are designated and
qualify as hedging instruments. See note 11.
2.11 TRADE RECEIVABLES
Trade receivables that do not have a significant financing
component are recognized at transaction price and subsequently
measured at amortized cost, less impairment. A provision for the
impairment of trade receivables is recognized based upon lifetime
expected credit losses (ECLs). The Group calculates ECLs based
upon the Group’s historic credit loss experience adjusted for
forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic
environment. In addition, provisions are recorded for accounts
which are greater than 60 days past due unless there is a clear
indication that payment will be received. Balances are written off
when collection efforts have been exhausted and the probability of
recovery is unlikely.
2.12 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits
at banks, and money market funds with terms less than three
months.
2.13 PAID-IN EQUITY CAPITAL
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares
are shown in equity as a deduction, net of any income tax, from the
proceeds.
2.14 BORROWINGS
Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value. Borrowings that are
not maintained at fair value through profit or loss are recognized
net of transaction costs and subsequently stated at amortized cost.
Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and
the redemption value is recognized in the statement of income over
the period the borrowings are outstanding using the effective
interest method. Commitment fees for bank credit facilities are
recognized as part of interest expenses as incurred.
A financial liability is removed from the statement of financial
position when the obligation is discharged, cancelled, or expires.
Substantial modifications to the terms of existing financial
liabilities or an exchange of debt instruments with an existing lender
at substantially different terms are treated as extinguishments of
the original liability. The difference between the carrying amount of
a financial liability and the consideration paid to extinguish the
liability is recognized in profit or loss.
2.15 INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value
(NRV).
Purchased inventories are stated at average cost less estimated
obsolescence. Reserves for obsolescence include the write down of
items no longer required (held for disposal) and the estimated
decline in NRV caused by slow moving items.
The cost of finished goods and work in progress inventories are
determined on a first in, first out basis and consists of raw
materials, direct labor, other direct costs, and related indirect
overheads. Costs associated with abnormal waste or unused normal
operating capacity are not included in inventories. NRV is the
estimated sales price less incremental costs to complete and sell
the item. Net adjustments to reduce inventory to the lower of cost
or NRV are recognized in inventory changes in the statement of
income.
2.16 INCOME TAX
Income tax expense (benefit) includes current and deferred tax.
Income tax expense (benefit) is recognized in profit or loss except
to the extent it relates to items recognized directly in equity or in
other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the estimated tax payable or receivable on the
taxable income or loss for the year, and any adjustments to tax
payable for previous years. Deferred tax includes the effect of
temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases.
Deferred tax also includes the carry forward of unused net
operating losses and credits.
Current and deferred tax amounts are determined using rates and
laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the
reporting date or are expected to apply when temporary
differences reverse. Net deferred tax assets are recognized to the

Notes to the consolidated financial
statements, REC Silicon Group
REC Silicon Annual Report 2022
extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available
against which deferred amounts can be utilized.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a
legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities
and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities
on a net basis.
Utilization of net operating losses and tax credit carry forwards are
subject to certain limitations under Section 382 and 383 of the
Internal Revenue Code of the United States in the event of a change
in the Company’s ownership.
2.17 PROVISIONS
Provisions for product warranties, onerous contracts, asset
retirement obligations, restructuring costs, termination benefits,
environmental restoration, and legal claims are recognized when:
The Group has a present or constructive obligation as a result of
past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be
required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably
estimated. Provisions are discounted only when the effect is
material and the distribution in time can be reliably estimated.
2.18 SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
The Group grants synthetic share options to certain employees. The
cost of these share-based options (settled in cash) is recalculated
at each reporting date using the Black Scholes option pricing model
(see note 32).
2.19 PENSION/POST RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that defines an amount of
pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually
dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and
compensation. The liability recognized in the statement of financial
position in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present
value of the defined benefit obligation at the reporting date less the
fair value of plan assets.
Re-measurements arising from experience adjustments and
changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity
via other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.
Gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of a defined
benefit plan are recognized when the curtailment or settlement
occurs.
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans
are recognized as an expense during the period incurred.
2.20 REVENUE RECOGNITION
REC Silicon’s primary performance obligation is related to sale of
goods in which the performance obligations are the delivery of an
agreed volume of products within an agreed specification. REC
Silicon has both short term and long-term contracts. Spot market
sales, normally one month, cover delivery of an agreed volume at
market price at the date the order is placed. The short-term
contracts cover a period of a few months and up to one year, where
the prices normally are fixed within a volume range. REC Silicon also
has some long-term frame contracts that cover a period longer than
one year. In these contracts the prices are normally negotiated on
an annual basis.
Revenue is recognized when control of the goods is transferred to
the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which
REC Silicon expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or
services. Control is transferred to the buyer, according to the
agreed delivery term for each sale. Delivery terms are based on
Incoterms specified within sales contracts. Generally, the main
terms are “Ex Works” and “FCA”.
The Group recognizes a provision for discounts and expected
returns when a discount provisions or a right of return is specified in
purchase contracts. The Group recognizes revenue from the sale of
goods measured at the fair value of consideration received or
receivable, which includes a provision of allowances for discounts
and expected returns.
Goods are normally sold with standard warranties that the goods
comply with the agreed-upon specifications. These standard
warranties are accounted for using IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent
Liabilities and Contingent Assets. REC Silicon does not have any
other significant obligations for returns or refunds.
2.21 LEASES
At the inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a
contract is, or contains a lease. A lease exists if the contract
conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a
period of time in exchange for consideration. The Group recognizes
a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement
date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which
comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any
lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus
any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of the costs to
dismantle and remove the underlying assets or to restore the
underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease
incentives received.
Right-of-use assets are subsequently depreciated using the
straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of
the lease term. In addition, right-of-use assets are periodically
adjusted for impairment losses, if any, and for certain
remeasurements of the associated lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the
lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date,
discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate
cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing
rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the
discount rate.

Notes to the consolidated financial
statements, REC Silicon Group
REC Silicon Annual Report 2022
Lease payments are amortized to interest expense and to reduce
the associated lease liability based upon the present value
calculation used at inception to determine the lease liability.
Leases of ’low-value’ assets and short-term leases (lease terms of
12 months or less) are recognized as expense in profit or loss when
incurred.
2.22 GOVERNMENT GRANTS
Government grants are recognized at their fair values when there is
reasonable assurance that the grants will be received and that the
Group will comply with attached conditions. Government grants
related to assets are presented in the statement of financial
position as a reduction to the carrying amount of the assets and
reduce depreciation in the statement of income. Government grants
relating to income are listed separately under other income.
Government grant assets are recognized for the unsettled portions
of grants and are discounted if the effect of discounting is
significant. Significant changes to estimates of timing of utilization
or discount rates are recognized as a change in the grant asset and
offset to production assets or expenses based on the classification
at the inception of the grant (see note 21).
2.23 STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
The Group presents the statement of cash flows using the indirect
method. Cash inflows and outflows are shown separately for
investing and financing activities, while operating activities include
both cash and non-cash line items. Interest received and paid are
reported as a part of operating activities, except borrowing costs
capitalized as part of the construction of a non-current asset that
are included in investing activities, and payment of up-front and
loan fees that are reported as part of financing activities.
Operating activities include all cash flow effects from derivatives.
Currency gains and losses are recognized in the statement of
income. Amounts related to borrowing (financing activities), non-
current financial assets and investments (investing activities) and
unrealized gains or losses on cash and cash equivalents held at the
end of the periods are reclassified in a separate line item under
operating activities.
Financing activities include the repayment of prepayments received
from customers on which interest is calculated.
2.24 ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED
STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS
The Group, in practice, adopts new and amended standards and
interpretations, issued by the IASB and approved by the EU, that are
relevant to its operations as effective. A number of changes to
standards were effective beginning January 1, 2022 but they did
not have a material effect on the Group’s financial statement.

Notes to the consolidated financial
statements, REC Silicon Group
REC Silicon Annual Report 2022
3.1 FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks,
including currency risk, interest-rate risk, liquidity risk, credit risk,
refinancing risk and others.
The goals for the Group finance policy and the treasury operations
are primarily to minimize the risk of financial distress, secure long-
term funding, manage currency risk of expected future net cash
flows, and manage interest rate risk. The Company’s finance policy
sets the framework and limits for hedging activities in the Group. It
defines risk management objectives, responsibilities, and
operational requirements.
The disclosures that are required regarding financial risks below
focus on the risks that arise from financial instruments and how
they have been managed. Derivative financial instruments may be
used to reduce risks from commercial transactions; the existence of
derivative financial instruments exposes the Company to additional
risks.
(A) Currency risk
The Company operates internationally and is exposed to currency
risk. At December 31, 2022, the Group’s working capital is a
combination of USD and NOK, equity is in NOK, and debt is in USD.
Currency risk arises from transactions in currencies other than the
Group’s reporting currency and cash denominated in NOK. Currency
risk relates primarily to a portion of cash balances denominated in
NOK.
Net cash flow is defined as the consolidated external cash flows of
the Group. The Group’s policy provides the ability to hedge external
net cash flows with a maximum time horizon of 24 months. The
purpose is to reduce the currency risk of expected future net cash
flows. The Company manages currency risk on an overall level.
At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Group did not hold any
derivative financial instruments related to mitigating currency risks.
(B) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss to the Group if a customer or
counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual
obligation and is primarily related to trade receivables and
guarantees provided for discontinued operations. The Group
maintains policies to ensure that credit is extended to customers
with appropriate liquidity and credit histories in combination with
requiring guarantees when appropriate.
(C) Liquidity risk and going concern
Liquidity risk is measured by subtracting the Group’s liabilities from
cash considering historic and anticipated operating results.
Liquidity risk management requires maintaining sufficient available
cash or access to capital markets to compensate for anticipated
volatility in operating cash flows or to fund additional investments.
Liquidity risk is impacted by changes in market conditions, potential
claims against the Company, and uncertainty associated with
critical judgements used to arrive at accounting estimates. In
addition, the Company’s access to capital markets may be impacted
by overall market conditions (notes 4, 17, and 30).
On March 21, 2023, the Company announced a corporate debt
financing, which is a 3 year-term loan of USD 110 million from KEB
Hana Bank in Korea for the purpose of retiring the senior secured
bond that matures on April 13, 2023. REC Silicon’s largest
shareholder Hanwha Solutions has committed to fully guarantee
the announced debt financing, which will result in favorable terms
compared to other financing alternatives.
In addition to this USD 110 million debt financing, the company has
a near term need to raise additional financing to meet liquidity
requirements in 2023, in particular relating to the ongoing restart
activities of the company’s polysilicon factory in Moses Lake and
capacity investments in Butte. The Company is currently working
with various financing parties and we are confident that we are
close to a final solution that covers the entire funding amount
needed for the next 12 months. REC Silicon will update the market
as financing plans are concluded. (see note 17, 29 and 33)
Accordingly, the Board of Directors confirms that the Financial
Statements have been prepared under the assumption that the
Company is a going concern, and that this assumption is appropriate
at the date of the accounts.
(D) Interest rate risk
Changes in market interest rates affect the fair value of assets and
liabilities or the variability in cash payments. The Group is exposed
to interest rate risk through funding and cash management
activities, primarily in REC Silicon ASA and REC Silicon AS. Cash in
bank accounts and liabilities have primarily carried variable interest
rates. The Company has borrowings through bonds..
Interest income and interest expense in the statement of income, as
well as interest receipts and payments, are influenced by interest
rate changes for financial instruments that carry variable interest
rates. See note 30 for interest rate sensitivity.
(E) Hedging of risk related to supply of raw material/commodities
When the Group is exposed to changes in the total costs from
specific input factors it may hedge the associated risk. As of year-
end 2022 and 2021, no hedges were in place.
3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Notes to the consolidated financial
statements, REC Silicon Group
REC Silicon Annual Report 2022
3.2 FAIR VALUE ESTIMATION
Fair value estimation is discussed in notes 9 and 30.
3.3 CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND FINANCING
In determining the appropriate capital structure for the Group,
various factors have been considered. These include risks
associated with the Group’s business profile and the fact that the
polysilicon production has high capital intensity.
The Group’s goal is to maintain sufficient capital to maintain current
operating cash flow requirements and to meet debt service
obligations. Taking into account market volatility and risk related to
future cash flows, the Group aims to maintain a capital structure
with a high ratio of equity funding.
4.1 CRITICAL JUDGMENTS IN APPLYING THE GROUP’S
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management’s judgments in applying the Group’s accounting
policies which have the most significant effect on the financial
statements are discussed below and in the relevant notes.
(A) Functional currencies
The Group’s presentation currency is USD. The functional currencies
of REC Silicon AS and REC Solar AS are NOK. The functional
currency of all other group companies is USD. The activities of the
Group are primarily in the subsidiaries in the USA. Functional
currency affects the reporting of currency gains and losses and
exchange differences as well as hedging strategies and effects.
Facts or circumstances may change in the future.
(B) Cash-generating units for impairment testing
The selection of cash generating units for impairment testing is a
critical and difficult judgement. For impairment testing REC Silicon
consisted of two cash generating units.
(C) Environmental liability
The Group’s operations are subject to environmental laws and
regulations. These laws and regulations and their interpretations
are subject to change. Changes may require investment and/or
increased costs to meet more stringent standards or to take
remedial actions related to past activities. The Company has
reported a provision for asset retirement obligations (AROs)
associated with the eventual cleanup and restoration of the
Company’s manufacturing sites in the United States (note 20).
4.2 KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
– CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. Certain amounts included in or affecting the Group’s
financial statements and related disclosures must be estimated,
requiring management to make assumptions with respect to values
or conditions which cannot be known with certainty at the time the
financial statements are prepared.
(A) Impairments and bad debt provisions
Changes in facts and in management’s evaluations and assumptions
may give rise to further impairment losses, or reversals. The
estimated recoverable amounts of the Group’s assets are sensitive
to small changes to key assumptions. The Company uses internal
business plans that include estimates on raw material and energy
prices, discount rates, and external market and industry analysis.
There could be changes in environmental regulations impacting the
company going forward, but no related legislation has been passed
at the current time that is expected to impact the group. (notes 8
and 9).
Financial assets are also periodically reviewed for impairment.
Provisions for losses on trade receivables have been made using a
provision matrix based on the Group’s historical credit loss
experience adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the
debtors and the economic environment. Actual losses may turn out
significantly different from the evaluations made based on the
knowledge and assumptions at the time of approving the accounts.
(B) Asset retirement obligations
The company has an obligation for eventual cleanup of its
manufacturing operations in Moses Lake, Washington and Butte
Montana. Changes in facts and in management’s evaluations and
assumptions may give rise to changes in provisions for asset
retirement obligations (AROs). Provisions may change due to
changes in amounts or timing of estimated expenditures to restore
production sites or changes in governmental regulations governing
restoration requirements. The restoration of production sites is
subject to significant uncertainty due to variability in restoration
requirements that may be imposed by regulatory authorities as well
as timing of the restoration. In addition, estimates of provisions are
sensitive to changes in discount rates used to calculate provisions
for AROs reported by the Group. (note 20)

(C) Fair Value of the investment in the Yulin JV
Changes in facts and in management’s evaluations and assumptions
may give rise to changes in fair value estimates of the Company’s
investment in the Yulin JV. The estimate of fair value may change
due to changes in amounts or timing of cashflows generated by the
Yulin JV. In addition, estimates of fair value are sensitive to changes
in the discount rate used to arrive at estimates of fair value.

Notes to the consolidated financial
statements, REC Silicon Group
REC Silicon Annual Report 2022
REC Silicon routinely monitors assets for indications that the carrying
values of assets are no longer recoverable. If impairment indicators
exist, impairment tests will be carried out to determine whether the
carrying value of affected assets can be justified. If estimates
conclude that asset values are no longer recoverable, the assets are
written down to the recoverable amount which is the greater of fair
value less cost to sell and value in use (discounted cash flows).
CASH-GENERATING UNITS
REC Silicon consisted of two cash generating units at December 31,
2022 and 2021.
Management has performed an evaluation of the Company’s
operations and determined that the Group consisted of two cash
generating units (CGUs) based upon the Company’s operations and
management structures. This determination included consideration
for segment reporting which includes segments for Solar Materials
and Semiconductor Materials which were determined by
management to represent the smallest units for which cash flows
can be reasonably determined. Net Costs associated with Other
have been allocated to the individual CGUs based upon estimated
activity, volume, and revenue factors.
SUMMARY OF IMPAIRMENT TESTS
During 2022, recurring net operating losses, the restart of the
Moses Lake FBR facility, increased raw material prices, and changes
to the discount rate were determined to be indicators of potential
changes in impairment for the Solar Materials Segment. Impairment
testing was performed at December 31, 2022 on the Solar
Materials CGU and resulted in estimated values in use that
approximated the carrying value of the Solar Materials CGU.
Consequently, no additional impairment or reversal of impairment
was recognized in 2022.
For the semiconductor segment, impairment indicators considered
were a change to discount rate and high energy costs. However, low
book values compared to market cap and assumed stand along
price of the segment resulted in no impairment test.
On January 31, 2023 REC Silicon announced the entering into of a
binding term sheet between its subsidiary REC Solar Grade Silicon
LLC and Hanwha Solutions for a 10 year take-or pay offtake for FBR
polysilicon produced at REC Silicon’s facility at Moses Lake,
Washington. The Offtake provides for the sale to Hanwha Solutions
of 100% of the prime FBR production from the facility.
The base price for the Offtake will be determined by market indices
adjusted for a premium for US-sourced low carbon material. The
base price is also subject to both a minimum and maximum that
protects REC Silicon against potential future low market prices that
could otherwise threaten the long-term prospects for the Company.
Impairment review conducted at December 31, 2022 included
evaluating the impacts restarting the FBR facility in Q4 of 2023.
Forecasts derived from the opportunities listed above could result
in the partial reversal of impairment previously recorded by the
Company. However, the Company has not entered into any definitive
full form supply agreements and it is difficult to estimate prices
prior to a full form agreement.
BASIS FOR THE IMPAIRMENT TESTS
Climate related risk has been considered in the calculation of value
in use. The calculation reflects the expected development in the
cost of emission quotas based on the current regulatory framework.
There could be changes in environmental regulations impacting the
company going forward, but no related legislation has been passed
at the current time that is expected to impact the group. The
impairment assessment is based on the expectation that any
increase in cost due to new legislation will be covered by increased
sales prices, full or partial compensation by incentive schemes or
increased effectiveness resulting in limited impact on operating
cash flows.
Future cash flows are estimated on the basis of the budget for the
next year and the subsequent four forecast years. A terminal value is
calculated from the estimated cash flows generated in the last
forecast year. A growth rate of one percent has been used during the
terminal period for both years presented. EBITDA less capital
expenditures and changes in working capital have been used to
estimate future cash flows.
Assets under construction for which investment has been committed
are included with estimated expenditures to complete and estimated
cash flows from their operations.
The carrying amounts of cash-generating units include tangible fixed
assets, right of use assets, intangible assets, and net working capital
only.
DISCOUNT RATE
The discount rate applied is based on the Company’s cost of capital
which has been estimated using the weighted average of the
required rates of return for the Company’s equity and debt (WACC).
The required rate of return for the Company’s equity is estimated
using the capital assets pricing model (CAPM). The required rate of
return on debt is estimated on the basis of a risk-free rate of return
plus a credit risk premium derived from analysis of the debt costs
and loading of public companies similar to REC Silicon. The discount
rate is estimated on an after-tax basis and adjusted to estimate the
equivalent before tax discount rate using the Company’s estimated
before and after-tax cash flows and evaluated for reasonableness.
The discount rates used at December 31, 2022 and 2021 are
reflected in the table below:

KEY ASSUMPTIONS AND SENSITIVITIES
Key assumptions include future revenues (sales prices and sales
volume), cost of major inputs, conversion costs and efficiency
(production volume), and maintenance capital expenditures.
Price trends are difficult to predict in the current market
environment and external views of anticipated market conditions
differ widely. When possible, REC Silicon has used third party
analyses to estimate product prices. When third party estimates
are not available or vary widely, REC Silicon uses internal estimates
based on experience and market intelligence to estimate market
conditions and prices. Prior to a full form supply agreement in place
with Hanwha, estimates of long-term average solar grade
polysilicon prices used in this analysis are at conservative levels.
Estimates of future cash flows include the assumption the Moses
Lake FBR facility will restart during Q4 of 2023. If access to solar
grade polysilicon markets is not restored and idled capacity is not
restarted, additional impairment charges would be required.
Current market conditions result in negative cashflows until FBR
production is restarted. As a result, the estimated timing of the
increase in capacity utilization is a key assumption. This sensitivity
is reflected in the table of sensitivities below in the line volume
(production and sales).
As a result of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 in the United
States, estimates include a $3 per kilogram credit for solar grade
polysilicon sales for 10 years. Direct payments from the Internal
Revenue Service for the first 5 years and tax credits for the
remaining 5 years.
Costs have been estimated using contractual obligations, third
party indexes when appropriate, and historical spending trends
adjusted for inflation.
Capital expenditures required to restart the Moses Lake FBR
facility have been included in the analysis. Capital expenditures
necessary to restart FBR include reactor modifications necessary
to product mono grade quality polysilicon.
The table below presents the estimated change in impairment of
the Solar Materials CGU due to an isolated change in the key
assumption for all years. Spending includes variable manufacturing
costs, fixed manufacturing costs, selling general and administrative
expenses, and capital expenditures in total. The estimates are
based on the assumptions used in the December 31, 2022
impairment analysis.

OTHER INVESTMENTS
The Group entered into a joint arrangement in China; Shaanxi Non-
Ferrous Tian Hong REC Silicon Materials Co., Ltd. (Yulin JV) in
February 2014. On February 1, 2018, REC Silicon Pte. Ltd (REC
Silicon) and Shaanxi Non-Ferrous Tian Hong New Energy Co. Ltd.
(SNF) entered into a supplemental agreement in relation to
outstanding capital contributions.
This supplemental agreement reduced REC Silicon’s equity
ownership to 15 percent and REC Silicon agreed to pay interest of
USD 0.6 million to the Yulin JV and a penalty of USD 10.4 million to
SNF in annual installments. The remaining liability associated with
this agreement was zero at December 31, 2022 and USD 4.7
million at December 31, 2021.
REC Silicon’s option to either buy back the 34 percent equity
interest from SNF pursuant to a valuation and public bidding
process as required by PRC state-owned asset disposal regulations
expired in Q3 of 2021. REC Silicon currently maintains its
previously reported 15 percent equity interest in the Yulin JV.
The corporate governance of the Yulin JV remains unchanged from
previous reports. At the time that REC Silicon’s equity interest in
the Yulin JV was reduced to 15 percent, the Board of Directors of
the Yulin JV was adjusted to five directors, of which four are
appointed by SNF and one is appointed by REC. REC nominates the
Chief Technology Officer while the remaining executive
management of the Yulin JV is nominated by SNF. In 2019 company
management determined that REC did not have significant
influence over the operational and financial decisions of the Yulin
JV. Factors included large majority owner and flow of information.
At that point the company changed from the equity method of
accounting to fair value.
In accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS) 9, the carrying amount of the Yulin JV is reported at fair value
and the Company has designated the investment as an equity
security at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL).
2022
At year-end 2022, REC Silicon performed an analysis to estimate
the fair value of its investment in the Yulin JV using discounted
estimated future cashflows. The market value of the investment
was estimated using the discounted estimated future cash flows
from Yulin JV operations over a 5-year period with the last year
used as a basis for the terminal value. A discount rate of 14.4
percent was estimated on an after-tax basis and adjusted to
estimate the equivalent before tax discount rate of 17.5 percent.
As a result, estimated enterprise value less long-term debt results
in a negative value of approximately USD 1.0 million for REC
Silicon’s 15 percent equity interest. REC Silicon has no obligation to
contribute additional equity as a result of these deficits.
Accordingly, REC Silicon’s investment in the Yulin JV remains at a
value of zero at December 31, 2022. The value of the JV is subject
to uncertainty and is very sensitive to changes in discount rates,
sales prices, volume and spending.
2021
At year-end 2021, REC Silicon performed an analysis to estimate
the fair value of its investment in the Yulin JV using discounted
estimated future cashflows. Due to the impact of continued delays
in realizing designed production capacities, and continued
deterioration in REC Silicon’s ability to influence business decisions,
increases in anticipated cashflows have not been realized. In
addition, the Yulin JV has accumulated additional long-term debt to
fund operating losses, to complete construction, and to maintain
operations. The market value of the investment was estimated
using the discounted estimated future cash flows from Yulin JV
operations over a 5-year period with the last year used as a basis
for the terminal value. A discount rate of 11.8 percent was
estimated on an after-tax basis and adjusted to estimate the
equivalent before tax discount rate of 14.9 percent. As a result,
estimated enterprise value less long-term debt results in a negative
value of approximately USD 13.1 million for REC Silicon’s 15
percent equity interest. REC Silicon has no obligation to contribute
additional equity as a result of these deficits. Accordingly, REC
Silicon’s investment in the Yulin JV remains at a value of zero at
December 31, 2021.

The Yulin JV continues to increase production, quality performance, and is steadily increasing product sales. Both silane units and the FBR
reactors have demonstrated design capacities and utilization rates are increasing. The Yulin JV is increasing production of high purity
granular polysilicon using high purity liners.

The provision for doubtful accounts includes the review of expected credit losses (ECL) based upon historical experience.
In the third quarter of 2022 REC Silicon exhausted efforts to collect from a previously impaired customer. As a result, the company wrote
off USD 4.8 million of receivables as well as reversed the loss on receivables for the same customer. This resulted in a net zero change to
receivables. REC will continue to seek all collection options on remaining impaired accounts. There was no bad debt expense recorded in
2022. The provision for loss on trade receivables is limited a small number of customers and although unlikely that any funds will be
collected, the provision will remain until all efforts are exhausted (see note 30). At December 31, 2022 the review of the provision included
the fact that the Company has not experienced any bad debt since 2018.

Payment of the indemnificaiton loan was USD 10.7 million and included USD 7.1 million from cash and USD 3.6 million from restricted cash. See note 14
On October 14, 2020, the Company entered into a settlement
agreement with Grant County, Washington settling its property tax
dispute for tax years 2012 through 2015. REC Silicon agreed to
pay Grant County USD 3.0 million by December 15, 2020, and USD
1.75 million each year for the next six years. The settlement
resulted in the recognition of a note payable using an interest rate
of 11.5 percent used to impute the value of the liability. The note is
effectively secured, as a matter of law, by the real property at the
Moses Lake plant. At December 31, 2022, the remaining fair value
of the property tax note was USD 5.3 million. Total remaining
undiscounted payments on the property tax note are USD 7.0
million.
The Company and certain subsidiaries are jointly and severally liable
for the USD Senior Secured Bond (REC04, ISIN NO0010820590).
REC Silicon ASA, REC Silicon AS, REC Silicon, Inc., REC Solar Grade
Silicon, LLC., REC Advance Silicon Materials, LLC., and REC Silicon
Pte. Ltd. have provided a guarantee. In addition, the equity and
substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of REC
Advanced Silicon Materials, LLC. have been pledged as security in
the bond agreement. The net book value of net assets pledged as
security was approximately USD 118.0 million at December 31,
2022 and approximately USD 77.6 million at December 31, 2021.
Covenants imposed by the bond include a requirement to maintain
minimum liquidity of USD 15 million and include a change of control
provision which grants the bondholders a put option entitling them
to cancel the commitments and declare all outstanding amounts
and accrued unpaid interest due and payable if a shareholder or a
group of shareholders gains control of more than 50 percent of the
share capital. In addition, the bond agreement provides limitations
on borrowing, asset sales, and other transactions under certain
conditions. The bond agreement includes a cross default clause
should the Company default on any financial indebtedness above
certain threshold amounts. Please see the registration document at
www.recsilicon.com for additional details.
At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had complied with
all financial covenants and other restrictions in the loan agreements.

The deferred tax asset in the United States was generated due to net operating losses on a tax basis, the accelerated reversal of book to tax
differences for depreciation caused by the recognition of impairment (financial statement only), and other taxable temporary differences
which are expected to reverse on a more definite schedule. The deferred tax asset in the United States associated with net operating losses
was USD 159.2 million at December 31, 2022 includes USD 127.8 million associated with net operating losses generated in 2017 and prior
years which expire between 2031 and 2037. Deferred tax assets of USD 31.4 million are due to net operating losses generated after 2017
which do not expire.
In the United States, in the event of a change in the ultimate company’s ownership, utilization of net operating losses and tax credit carry
forwards are subject to certain limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The company initiated a study in 2022, however
results are not final at this time. The above table presents as if no limitation has occurred. In the event that an ownership change according
to Section 382 occurred, the company would be limited to how much net operating loss is available in future years. The result could be that
net operating losses expire unused. A final conclusion to the study will be completed in 2023.
TAX AUDIT IN NORWAY
The Norwegian Tax office has notified REC Silicon ASA that they consider to change the company’s income tax assessment for the years
2019-2021. The basis for this notification is an ongoing tax audit relating to whether interest should have been charged on loans provided
from REC Silicon ASA to Rec Silicon Inc. and Rec Solar Grade Silicon LLC. As a temporary measure, due to the financial situation in these
subsidiaries, the company has not charged interest on the loans in the period under tax audit. The company has responded to the tax office’s
notification and the company maintains its view that the subsidiaries have not had debt bearing capacity in this period. The company has not
recognized any deferred tax asset relating to its tax losses carry forward.
Deferred tax assets have not been recognized due to requirements in IAS 12 for convincing evidence of available future taxable income to
offset prior tax losses. In Norway, net operating losses do not expire.

REC Silicon Annual Report 2022
The cost of defined pension benefit plans is expensed in the period that the employee renders services and becomes eligible to receive
benefits. The cost of defined contribution plans is expensed as contributions become payable.
REC Silicon has an employer-sponsored defined contribution retirement plan (401 (k)) for employees in the United States. The REC Silicon
subsidiary REC Advanced Silicon Materials LLC (ASiMI) in the United States had defined benefit plans at the time it was acquired in 2005.
At that time, these plans were frozen, and no future benefits are accruing to the members of the plans. Previous pension rights remain
unchanged and are fully vested. The tables below for defined benefit plans are related to Advanced Silicon Materials LLC only.
For defined benefit plans, the plan assets and the projected benefit obligations were measured at December 31, 2022 and 2021. An
independent actuary performed actuarial calculations. The present value of the projected defined benefit obligation, and the related current
service cost, were measured using the projected unit credit method.

During 2022 the effects of changes in assumptions were due to an increase in discount rate and changes in financial and demographic
assumptions for the ASiMI plans.
The cumulative re-measurement loss recognized to equity through other comprehensive income was USD 17.6 million before income taxes
at December 31, 2022. Of this, a loss of USD 17.6 million was related to ASiMI (excluding translation difference).
At December 31, 2022, the mortality table was based on Pri-2012 total dataset base rate mortality table with projected generationally
using MP-2021. The Society of Actuaries (SOA) is an actuarial organization that periodically reviews mortality data and publishes mortality
tables and improvement scales. In October 2019, the SOA released the Pri-2012 Mortality Tables for private-sector retirement plans in the
U.S. The Pri-2012 report contains different sets of mortality tables based on complete dataset or various subsets. The Total dataset base
rate table was selected.
The principal actuarial assumptions used to determine retirement benefit obligations at December 31
2022 2021
Discount rate 5.10 2.7
Future salary increases NA NA
Future pension increases NA NA
Future increase in social security base amount NA NA
Future turnover NA NA
The assumptions used to determine the benefit cost for the year are determined at the beginning of the year. The expected return for the
ASiMI plans equals the discount rate.
The expected remaining service life until retirement for participants of the defined benefit obligation for the ASiMI plans are approximately
7.3 years at December 31, 2022 and 7.4 years at December 31, 2021. Pension premiums of USD 1.5 million are expected to be paid during
2023 to the ASiMI defined benefit plans.
The maturity profile includes the weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligations and includes items such as timing of the
benefit payments. The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation is 11 years at December 31, 2022 and 14 years at
December 31, 2021.
For the ASiMI benefit plans, a one percentage point increase (decrease) in discount rate is estimated to decrease (increase) the pension
obligation by approximately USD 3.1/(3.7) million at December 31, 2022.

NON-CURRENT PROVISIONS
During 2022 the Company recorded a decreased provision for asset retirement obligations (ARO) of USD 1.8 million. This was primarily due
to a change in discount rates. Discount rates increased compared to the previous year due to higher market rates. The company determined
it was appropriate to move to a more conservative rate for 2022. At December 31, 2022 the Company has recorded USD 19.3 million in
AROs. These obligations consist of USD 2.8 million to restore leased wastewater containment ponds to conditions specified in the lease
agreement and USD 16.5 million for the eventual cleanup of the Company’s manufacturing operations in Moses Lake, Washington and Butte,
Montana.
Estimates are sensitive to changes in discount rates used to calculate provisions for AROs. At December 31, 2022, a one percent increase
to the discount rates would decrease the provision by USD 1.6 million, while a one percent decrease to the discount rates would increase the
provision by USD 2.3 million.
At December 31, 2022, the AROs represent the present value of estimated future costs discounted at 5.4 percent for 6 years for the
wastewater containment ponds. The restoration of the production sites is discounted at 5.7 percent for 37.5 years. Total undiscounted
amounts were USD 3.8 million for the ponds, and 133.5 million for the production sites.

Notes to the consolidated financial

REC Silicon Annual Report 2022
At December 31, 2021 the AROs were discounted at 3.5 percent for the ponds and 4.8 percent for the production sites. Total undiscounted
amounts were USD 4.0 million for the ponds and USD 108.1 million for the production sites.
Climate related risk has been considered in the calculation of the ARO. There could be changes in environmental regulations impacting the
company going forward, but no related legislation has been passed at the current time that is expected to impact the group.
The restoration of production sites is subject to significant uncertainty due to variability in restoration requirements imposed by regulatory
authorities as well as the timing of restoration.
There were no government grants receivables recognized at December 31 2022. Government grant income in 2021 of USD 8.3 million was the
result of forgiveness of the C.A.R.E.S. Act loans held by REC Solar Grade Silicon LLC and REC Advanced Silicon Materials LLC (see note 17 and 23).

FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The estimated fair values of the Group’s financial instruments are
based on market prices and the valuation methods described below.
Determining the categorization of fair value measurements in
accordance with IFRS 13 involves judgment.
Level 3
Option contract is part of the indemnification agreements in
connection with the REC Wafer Norway AS bankruptcy, and the
estimated fair value is subject to change. Changes in estimated fair
value, when they occur, are reported as part of the net gain on
disposal of discontinued operations. In October of 2021, REC
Silicon and Nordea entered into an agreement to settle claims
associated with the indemnification loans. Under the agreement,
Nordea released all claims against REC Silicon for NOK 95 million
(USD 10.7 million). The settlement consisted of approximately NOK
32 million (USD 3.6 million) settled through a restricted cash
escrow account, and a payment of approximately NOK 63 million
(USD 7.1 million) in February 2022. At December 31, 2022, the
indemnification loan was zero. At December 31, 2021, the
indemnification loan was NOK 95 million (USD 10.8 million) and the
liability for the option contract related to the indemnification loan
was USD 0.0 million.

The table above is calculated with respect to gross trade receivables. The provision for loss on trade receivables is exclusively concentrated
on customers in the solar industry in China and Taiwan.
The Group is dependent on a small number of customers. In 2022, four customers represented approximately 57 percent of revenue for the
Group. In 2021 four customers represented 63 percent Since nearly all revenue is from the semiconductor segment, approximately 57
percent of the revenue in 2022 for the Semiconductor segment consisted of four customers in 2022 and 63 percent in 2021. The Solar
Materials segment was represented by one customer in 2022 and two in 2021.
Three customers represented approximately 60 percent of total trade receivables for The Group at December 31, 2022 (four customers
represented approximately 50 percent at December 31, 2021).
Approximately 60 percent of the trade receivables for the Semiconductor segment consisted of three customers in both 2022 and 2021,
while approximately 100 percent of the trade receivables for the Solar Materials segment was represented by three customers in 2022 and
four in 2021. See note 5 Segment Information above.
Amounts overdue but not impaired between 90 and 365 days were zero in 2022. Amounts overdue between 90 and 365 days but not
impaired consisted of one customer for 2021. (see table below)

Notes to the consolidated financial
statements, REC Silicon Group
REC Silicon Annual Report 2022
The provision for doubtful accounts includes the impact of adopting
IFRS 9 which requires the Company to estimate expected credit
losses (ECL) based upon historical experience. The Company has
prepared analyses to calculate an ECL estimated at 0.22 percent of
sales. However, because expected credit losses are low and
accounts receivable consists of relatively large outstanding
balances, use of the ECL to record credit losses at the time of sale
would result in provisions for losses on trade receivables that are
collected. Therefore, the Company uses the ECL rate as a guideline
and evaluates the potential that balances will not be received based
upon days outstanding, customer payment histories, and other
information regarding past due balances. In general, provisions are
recorded for accounts which are greater than 60 days past due
unless there is a clear indication that payment will be received.
At December 31, 2022, approximately 33 percent of the not due
receivables were secured by bank guarantees with no past due
receivables secured by credit insurance. At December 31, 2021,
approximately 45 percent of not due trade receivables were
secured by bank guarantees.
SENSITIVITIES
Interest rate sensitivity
A change in interest rates will affect interest payments on variable
interest rate liabilities, cash, and restricted cash. The net effect of a
one percentage point increase (decrease) in interest rates is
estimated to affect profit or loss for the year by USD 1.0 (-1.0)
million calculated on outstanding amounts at December 31, 2022
and 2021.
Exchange rate sensitivity
The table below shows the estimated impact of a 10 percent
increase in foreign currency rates compared to functional
currencies for each entity. A decrease in the same percentage would
create the opposite effect. The amounts calculated in the table
below are for REC Silicon ASA at period end and do not reflect
fluctuations during the year. The table below shows the effects of
changes in exchange rates on positions denominated in NOK for
2022 and 2021.

REC Silicon Annual Report 2022
The Group is involved in legal disputes in the ordinary course of
business. Provisions are recognized for the expected outcomes in
accordance with applicable accounting rules. Provisions are based
on Group Management’s estimate of likely outcomes based on prior
experience, the source, and the facts and circumstances of a claim.
The final outcomes of such disputes and litigation are subject to
significant uncertainty and actual outcomes may vary from
provisions recognized. Provisions are adjusted to reflect the most
recent facts and circumstances.
RESTART OF PRODUCTION FACILITY IN MOSES LAKE
The Company is executing a plan to realize FBR production in Q4 of
2023. Current activities include execution of engineering,
procurement, and construction for FBR upgrades. The company is
targeting a ramp to 50 percent operation during Q2 2024 and a
ramp to 100 percent operation during Q4 2024.
Successful execution of the Company’s plan to restart production at
the Moses Lake facility would likely require reversal of impairment.
Additional impairments and provisions would be required if the
Moses Lake facility is not restarted.
GLOBAL UNCERTAINTY
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has increased risks to global
markets. The war has had significant impacts to energy costs. These
increased energy costs have had a negative effect on REC Silicon’s
profitability as the semiconductor materials segment is dependent
on electricity and natural gas as direct material inputs. REC Silicon
has limited direct exposure in the region and is complying with all
imposed sanctions. It is likely that pricing volatility will continue in the
energy markets.
Volatility in the foreign currency market has had a negative impact on
REC’s cash position. REC Silicon holds a portion of its cash in NOK.
The weakening of NOK compared to the USD has resulted in currency
loss in 2022. REC Silicon will convert NOK to USD as needed.
Furthermore, rising interest rates, continued logistical challenges,
and high inflation add to uncertainty. High inflation, specifically
related to raw materials and energy negatively impact the company.
IMPACT OF COVID-19 GLOBAL PANDEMIC
Company management and the Board of Directors continue to
monitor the situation and will take appropriate action as additional
developments occur.
The share-based incentive program is intended to award and
incentivize outstanding performance by eligible employees and to
attract and retain strong talent in business-critical functions.
The synthetic options under this Program entitle the holder to
receive a cash payment equivalent to the difference between a
specific number of options multiplied by the strike price for such
options and the same number of REC shares multiplied by the
weighted average market price of REC shares on the disbursement
dates. The options entitlement does not need to be exercised by any
action by the eligible employee and will be automatically disbursed
by REC following the applicable disbursement date for such year.
The cash payment is limited to a maximum amount in each calendar
year. The maximum amount is each employee’s base salary effective
January 1 in the year of the relevant disbursement date.
The value of unvested options is calculated using the Black Scholes
option pricing model and may not match actual payments made
depending upon the market value of the Company’s stock on the
exercise date. During 2022 zero share options were granted. In
2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021, 1,200,000 share options were
granted to certain key employees. The first three years are a lock-up
period. The vesting of the options for eligible employees will take
place in equal parts after the third, fourth and fifth years of each
program, on each June 30 of each year. The options were granted at
a strike price of NOK 11.9 for 2017, NOK 15.2 for 2018, 8.1 in
2019, 3.5 in 2020, and 17.5 in 2021. Any unexercised options are
forfeited upon termination of employment, unless the employee
retires, in which case options are maintained.

amount of shares exercised were 310,726 from program year
2017, 365,708 from program year 2018, and 363,141 from
program year 2019.
The amount recognized in the statement of income for share-based
compensation was USD 0.4 million in 2022 and USD 0.4 million in
2021. At December 31, 2022, USD 1.3 million has been reported in
the line other non-current liabilities on the statement of financial
position and USD 0.9 million in accrued operating costs (see note
20). The liabilities associated with share-based compensation are
derived using the Black Scholes option pricing model and may not
match actual payments made depending upon the market value of
the Company’s stock on the exercise date. During 2021 there was
USD 0.5 million in cash payments made with respect to share-based
compensation, and USD 0.7 million in 2021.

Notes to the consolidated financial
statements, REC Silicon Group
REC Silicon Annual Report 2022
On January 31, 2023 REC Silicon ASA (“REC Silicon” or the
“Company”) announced the entering into of a binding term sheet
between its subsidiary REC Solar Grade Silicon LLC and Hanwha
Solutions for a 10 year take-or pay offtake for FBR polysilicon
produced at REC Silicon’s facility at Moses Lake, Washington (the
“Offtake”). The Offtake provides for the sale to Hanwha Solutions of
100% of the prime FBR production from the facility.
The base price for the Offtake will be determined by market indices
adjusted for a premium for US-sourced low carbon material. The base
price is also subject to both a minimum and maximum that protects
REC Silicon against potential future low market prices that could
otherwise threaten the long-term prospects for the Company. To
secure the offtake obligations and to provide security in support of
the restart of the Moses Lake facility, Hanwha Solutions will, upon
entering into the full form agreement, make a significant prepayment
(the “Prepayment”). The parties expect that a full form agreement
including all operational details will be entered into in the coming
months and will be announced when finalized.
On March 21, 2023 the Company announced a corporate debt
financing of USD 110 million from KEB Hana Bank in Korea for the
purpose of retiring the senior secured bond that matures on April 13,
2023. The contemplated debt financing will be fully guaranteed by
REC Silicon’s largest shareholder Hanwha Solutions, which will result
in favorable terms compared to other financing alternatives. In
addition to this USD 110 million debt financing, the ongoing restart
activities of the company’s polysilicon factory in Moses Lake and
capacity investments in Butte, will require additional financing. REC
Silicon is in the process of exploring all funding options, including
debt financing and pre-payments from offtake contracts, and the
company is confident that funds will be raised well in advance of such
capital needs. REC Silicon will update the market as financing plans
are concluded.

TAX AUDIT IN NORWAY
The Norwegian Tax office has notified REC Silicon ASA that they consider to change the company’s income tax assessment for the years
2019-2021. The basis for this notification is an ongoing tax audit relating to whether interest should have been charged on loans provided
from REC Silicon ASA to Rec Silicon Inc. and Rec Solar Grade Silicon LLC. As a temporary measure, due to the financial situation in these
subsidiaries, the company has not charged interest on the loans in the period under tax audit. The company has responded to the tax office’s
notification and the company maintains its view that the subsidiaries have not had debt bearing capacity in this period. The company has not
recognized any deferred tax asset relating to its tax losses carry forward.

Notes to the financial statements,
REC Silicon ASA
REC Silicon Annual Report 2022
On January 31, 2023 REC Silicon ASA (“REC Silicon” or the “Company”) announced the entering into of a binding term sheet between its
subsidiary REC Solar Grade Silicon LLC and Hanwha Solutions for a 10 year take-or pay offtake for FBR polysilicon produced at REC
Silicon’s facility at Moses Lake, Washington (the “Offtake”). The Offtake provides for the sale to Hanwha Solutions of 100% of the prime
FBR production from the facility.
The base price for the Offtake will be determined by market indices adjusted for a premium for US-sourced low carbon material. The base
price is also subject to both a minimum and maximum that protects REC Silicon against potential future low market prices that could
otherwise threaten the long-term prospects for the Company. To secure the offtake obligations and to provide security in support of the
restart of the Moses Lake facility, Hanwha Solutions will, upon entering into the full form agreement, make a significant prepayment (the
“Prepayment”). The parties expect that a full form agreement including all operational details will be entered into in the coming months and
will be announced when finalized.
On March 21, 2023 the Company announced a corporate debt financing of USD 110 million from KEB Hana Bank in Korea for the purpose of
retiring the senior secured bond that matures on April 13, 2023. The contemplated debt financing will be fully guaranteed by REC Silicon’s
largest shareholder Hanwha Solutions, which will result in favorable terms compared to other financing alternatives. In addition to this USD
110 million debt financing, the ongoing restart activities of the company’s polysilicon factory in Moses Lake and capacity investments in
Butte, will require additional financing. REC Silicon is in the process of exploring all funding options, including debt financing and pre-
payments from offtake contracts, and the company is confident that funds will be raised well in advance of such capital needs. REC Silicon
will update the market as financing plans are concluded.

Auditor’s report
REC Silicon Annual Report 2022

2
Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including
International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, no prohibited non-audit services referred to in the Audit
Regulation (537/2014) Article 5.1 have been provided.
We have been the auditor of the Company for 22 years from the election by the general meeting of the
shareholders on 14 May 2001 for the accounting year 2001.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in
our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the
context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we
do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Asset Impairment
Refer to the section “Risk Factors” in the Board of Director's report, the accounting policies in note 2.8,
the critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty described in Note 4, and
Note 8 in the consolidated financial statements and parent company financial statements note M.
The Key Audit Matter
How the matter was addressed in our audit
The impairment assessment of the Solar
Materials CGU with a total carrying value of
USD 49.5 million is considered a risk area due
to recurring net operating losses, increased raw
material prices, changes in markets for solar
grade polysilicon, changes to the discount rate
and uncertainties related to the anticipated
restart of FBR production at the Moses Lake
production facility.
The recoverable amount is determined based on
value in use calculations which rely on external
factors, managements’ assumptions, and
estimated future performance. Key assumptions
applied in management's assumptions are future
revenues (sales prices and sales volume), cost
of major inputs, conversion costs and yield ratio
(production volume), government grants
expected to be received from the US Inflation
Reduction Act, and maintenance capital
expenditures, in addition to the timing of restart
of the Moses Lake production facility.
Significant professional judgement is required
when evaluating whether management's
assessment are reasonable and supportable.
In the parent company financial statements, the
abovementioned impairment assessment
resulted in an impairment of loans to
subsidiaries of USD 68.7 million.
In the consolidated financial statements, no
additional impairment or reversal of impairment
was recognized.
Our audit procedures in this area included:
- We evaluated the historical accuracy of
management's budgets and forecasts and
challenged management on the current year
cash flow forecasts as well as the timing of
future cash flows;
- We evaluated the growth assumptions and
management's future business plan
assumptions;
- We engaged our own valuation specialists
to assess the mathematical and
methodological integrity of management's
impairment models and the discount rates
applied with reference to market data;
- We evaluated management’s sensitivity
analysis to determine the impact of
reasonably possible changes and by
comparing to our own sensitivity analysis;
- We considered the impairment disclosures
in light of the requirements and if information
regarding key assumptions and sensitivities
adequately reflected the underlying assets
impairment assessments; and
- We compared the carrying value of loans to
the subsidiaries with the calculated value of
the assets, to assess if valuation of loans is
consistent with the value of the assets.

Other Information
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director (management) are responsible for the information
in the Board of Directors’ report and the other information accompanying the financial statements. The
other information comprises information in the annual report, but does not include the financial
statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover
the information in the Board of Directors’ report nor the other information accompanying the financial
statements.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Board of
Directors’ report and the other information accompanying the financial statements. The purpose is to
consider if there is material inconsistency between the Board of Directors’ report and the other
information accompanying the financial statements and the financial statements or our knowledge
obtained in the audit, or whether the Board of Directors’ report and the other information
accompanying the financial statements otherwise appear to be materially misstated. We are required
to report if there is a material misstatement in the Board of Directors’ report or the other information
accompanying the financial statements. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Based on our knowledge obtained in the audit, it is our opinion that the Board of Directors’ report
• is consistent with the financial statements and
• contains the information required by applicable statutory requirements.
Our opinion on the Board of Director’s report applies correspondingly to the reports on Corporate
Governance and Sustainability Report.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in
accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and accounting standards and practices generally
accepted in Norway, and for the preparation and true and fair view of the consolidated financial
statements of the Group in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted
by the EU, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the
preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s and
the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern. The financial statements of the Company use the going concern basis of accounting insofar
as it is not likely that the enterprise will cease operations. The consolidated financial statements of the
Group use the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the
Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that
an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of
these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due
to fraud or error. We design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and
obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The
risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one
resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's and the Group's internal control.
• evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists
related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's and the
Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty
exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the
financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report.
However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and the Group to cease to
continue as a going concern.
• evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including
the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions
and events in a manner that achieves a true and fair view.
• obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or
business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial
statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group
audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the Board of Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control
that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related
safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the Board of Directors, we determine those matters that were of
most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the
key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes
public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a
matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so
would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
Report on Compliance with Requirement on European Single Electronic Format (ESEF)
Opinion
As part of the audit of the financial statements of REC Silicon ASA we have performed an assurance
engagement to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements included in the
annual report, with the file name 549300VPZURYDFG0AB60-2022-12-31-en, have been prepared, in
all material respects, in compliance with the requirements of the Commission Delegated Regulation

Management’s Responsibilities
Management is responsible for the preparation of the annual report in compliance with the ESEF
regulation. This responsibility comprises an adequate process and such internal control as
management determines is necessary.
Auditor’s Responsibilities
Our responsibility, based on audit evidence obtained, is to express an opinion on whether, in all
material respects, the financial statements included in the annual report have been prepared in
compliance with ESEF. We conduct our work in compliance with the I nternational Standard for
Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 – “Assurance engagements other than audits or reviews of
historical financial information”. The standard requires us to plan and perform procedures to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements included in the annual report have been
prepared in compliance with the ESEF Regulation.
As part of our work, we have performed procedures to obtain an understanding of the Company’s
processes for preparing the financial statements in compliance with the ESEF Regulation. We
examine whether the financial statements are presented in XHTML-format. We evaluate the
completeness and accuracy of the iXBRL tagging of the consolidated financial statements and assess
management’s use of judgement. Our procedures include reconciliation of the iXBRL tagged data with
the audited financial statements in human-readable format. We believe that the evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
