CORNERSTONES OF THE NEW STRATEGY

proprietary technology

Captive

business

model

  • The high-margin residential and commercial rooftop segment, which Meyer Burger is focusing on, is growing at an above- average rate of +8% per year in the target markets until 2027
  • Meyer Burger Heterojunction/SmartWire has a 3-year technology advantage over standard technology, which is confirmed by the Fraunhofer Institute
  • The full value of Meyer Burger's technology advantage can be captured as the Heterojunction/SmartWire technology is not supplied to third parties anymore

High, sustained profit levels can be achieved on the basis of a superior technology and the captive business model

MEYER BURGER IS A TECHNOLOGY LEADER AND HAS SHAPED THE SOLAR INDUSTRY FOR YEARS

Meyer Burger…

  • is the backbone of the PV industry and has been the industrialization partner for over 20 years of the world's leading PV companies when launching new technologies
  • has equipped the leading manufacturers of solar modules with production equipment
  • has so far delivered 350 production machines for the current standard, PERC,1 for a total capacity of 55 GW, i.e., more than 50% of total global PERC production capacity

Today

1) Including module SmartWire-Technology (SWCT®); 2) "Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell"

  • Fraunhofer ISE has confirmed in study: "Meyer Burger has a lead of
    3 years in terms of module efficiency (i.e., cell efficiency and module losses) over manufacturers that produce classic solar modules"
  • PERC is at the end of the technology life cycle, reaching limits performance improvement and thus cost reduction
  • TOPCon is not yet ready for mass production and faces integration and cost problems
  • Other HJT manufacturers are currently neither competitive with MB HJT and PERC nor market-ready

5 © Meyer Burger

KNOW-HOW AND MANUFACTURING EXPERTISE FOR

CELL AND MODULE PRODUCTION ARE AVAILABLE

Ideal timing for Meyer Burger to enter cell and module manufacturing, employing its superior MB HJT technology, because:

1. Heterojunction/SmartWire (SWCT®) technology is more efficient than both the current standard mono- PERC and other heterojunction technologies currently available

2. The current solution has been developed in Switzerland (Neuchâtel) since 2008 and has been brought to market maturity in the in-house pilot industrial plant in Germany (Hohenstein/Saxony) since 2016

3. With the successful installation of a 600 MW production line by Meyer Burger for a customer, the proof-of-concept in mass production is already provided

Meyer Burger will focus its PV cell and module sales activities on the following segments and markets:

Segments

Focus markets

1

Rooftop (residential and small

2 Utility-scale1

commercial)

Targeted segments:

  • Rooftop (premium segment): Customers value Meyer Burger technology for its high performance, quality and aesthetics
  • Utility-scale:Advantages of Meyer Burger technology are recognized in this very price sensitive segment, because they enable lower electricity generation costs (LCOE) compared to standard technology2

Focus markets: Europe, U.S., Australia, Japan

  • Decent market size
  • Price premium is achievable and accepted by market participants

1) May include large commercial segment to the extent that price differentiation is possible; 2) Solar leasing companies also primarily driven by

Expected Gross Profit Margin:

45% - 50%

Expected EBITDA Margin:

25% - 30%

Expected Net Debt / EBITDA

0.25x - 0.5x

  • Expected revenues with annual capacity of 1.4 GW of cell and 0.8 GW of module production by raising a total of around CHF 180 million of debt in 2021/22
  • CAPEX (for equal cell and module capacity, in aggregate):
    • Equipment sourced from Meyer Burger EUR 70-90m/GW for initial investment; reducing to EUR 55-65m/GW from 2023 on (figures at arm's length pricing, including margin for Meyer Burger)
    • Third-partyequipment EUR 45-55m/GW
    • Building and facility EUR 70-90m/GW; for the first factory build phase of 0.8 GW module and 1.4 GW cell capacity, savings of EUR 22-28m can be expected due to existing buildings
    • Ratio of CAPEX for cell to module capacity c. 80% : 20%

LONG-TERM GOALS

Assumptions:

  • In addition, a further CHF 260m - 340m of financing can be raised to implement phase II of our new business plan - additional 1.4 GW installed cell and module capacity - in the base case, the required financing for phase II is to be raised in 2023, but potentially to be accelerated depending on developments over the next 18 months

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE NEW MEYER BURGER

  1. Heterojunction/SmartWire technology is superior to the current standard, mono-PERC, as well as other currently available heterojunction technologies in terms of efficiency and energy yield
  2. Captive business model enables capturing full value from Meyer Burger's technological leadership and protects know-how
  3. Premium products at relatively low manufacturing costs enable a unique positioning in the PV industry and sustained profitability of Meyer Burger
  4. With the successful production ramp-up of the technology by a customer, the proof-of-concept in mass production has already been provided
  5. Existing infrastructure and available skilled personnel should enable production and sales start in Q2/2021
  6. The "Green Deal" and the European climate targets provide a tailwind for the re-establishment of the solar industry in Europe
