REC Silicon ASA - Update on the strategic equity investment….
REC Silicon ASA - Update on the strategic equity investment by Hanwha Solutions and PDMR notification
(Oslo, Norway, 14 January 2022) Reference is made to the announcement on 18
November 2021 regarding the entering into an agreement between REC Silicon ASA
("REC Silicon" or the "Company"), Hanwha Solutions Corporation ("Hanwha
Solutions") and Aker Horizons ASA, through its subsidiary Aker Horizons Holding
AS ("Aker Horizons") pursuant to which REC Silicon shall issue, and Hanwha
Solutions shall subscribe for, 48,213,001 new shares (the "New Shares") in REC
Silicon at a subscription price of NOK 20 per share, totalling approximately NOK
964 million in proceeds in a directed share issue (the "Share Issue") and Aker
Horizons shall sell and Hanwha Solutions shall acquire 21,891,275 existing
shares in the Company (the "Share Purchase") at a price of NOK 20 per share
simultaneously with the Share Issue. At completion of the Share Issue and Share
Purchase (the "Transactions"), Aker Horizons and Hanwha Solutions will each own
approximately 16.67 percent of the shares in REC Silicon.
The waiting period to object to the transaction or request additional
information in connection with the requisite filings pursuant to the Hart-Scott-
Rodino Antitrust lmprovements Act of 1976 to US Federal Trade Commission and US
Department of Justice has now expired, and accordingly all conditions for
completion of the Transactions have been satisfied. The Transactions are
expected to be completed on or about 19 January 2022.
The Transactions bring together two of the leading producers in different parts
of the solar PV value chain. Hanwha Solutions is one of the world's largest
solar PV manufacturers with a total cell manufacturing capacity of 10GW
globally. The company provides high-quality solar PV panels to the residential
market through their wholly owned brand Q CELLS, which holds a 25 percent market
share in the US. The company operates one of the largest solar module factories
in the US with an annual production capacity of 1.7GW, corresponding to 12,000
PV modules per day.
The Transactions are expected to strengthen REC Silicon's financial position and
ensure that the Company has the necessary resources to reopen its FBR facility
in Moses Lake, Washington, and enable valuable investment opportunities in
Butte, Montana. Hanwha Solutions' strategic investment in REC Silicon represents
a step towards establishing a highly efficient, low carbon solar value chain in
the US and to ensure that REC Silicon plays an integral role in these efforts.
Hanwha Solutions' knowledge, expertise, and capabilities are expected to enhance
REC Silicon's ability to take advantage of opportunities and developing markets
in the solar, semiconductor, and battery industries. A US value chain for solar
PV manufacturing will result in the creation of demand for solar grade
polysilicon, which the Company expects will result in the restart of the
manufacture of high quality, low-cost solar grade granular polysilicon in Moses
Lake, Washington.
As a result of the Share Purchase, primary insider notification pursuant to the
Market Abuse Regulation article 19 for Aker Horizons as a person closely related
to the Company's Chairman Kristian Monsen Røkke is attached.
Arctic Securities is acting as settlement agent in connection with the
Transactions.

Takk Sa2ri,
Ja, vi har snakket om dette tidligere, dvs at hvis ikke BBB går igjennom så har 25 stater, med Washington og California i spissen, en backup plan for å få fornybar til virkelig å ta av. Dette snakket guvernøren om for et par måneder siden i forbindelse med besøk hos G14, tror jeg.
Her er det bare å lene seg tilbake. Blir spennende å se når første analytiker setter kursmål 42,5...

Svaret kommer helt på slutten av sessionen - forslaget (Bill 5849) ble vedtatt med 5 stemmer, to stemte ikke nei, men W/o Rec som vel er nøytralt. Det betyr at det kan bli fart i denne i morgen og de kommende dagene når resultatet blir kjent og man forstår hva dette egentlig betyr for RECSI og deres samarbeidspartnere.
BBB er ikke like nødvendig nå for selskapet da lokale myndigheter har tatt grep for å sikre at RECSI kan åpne ML som en del av samarbeidet de er i ferd med å etablere med HS, G14 og andre. Hvor lang tid tar det før det kommer en melding fra RECSI eller HS om dette? Ikke alt for lang tid tror jeg.

"Som partner for Rec i emisjonar vil enkelte kanskje vurdera Pareto som litt inhabil......"
Dette er bare tull og et dårlig forsøk på å flytte fokus fra det som skjer nå. PAS sin analyse har følgende heading, som er det vesentlige i dag:
"We raise our TP for RECSI to NOK 30 (24) following the strategic investment by Hanwha. The investment highlights the desire to build a non-Chinese low carbon PV value chain and de-risks a Moses Lake re-opening. Accordingly, we lower our discount rate and eye further upside once the plant is open. Buy reiterated."
PAS har, i likhet med mange andre meglerhus, gjort emisjoner for RECSI. Betyr det at alle disse er "inhabile" og/eller "partiske"? Nei, hvordan meglerhus skal forholde seg og hvilke cut-off perioder de har dersom de er tilretteleggere for en emisjon i et gitt selskap, er ganske godt regulert nettopp fordi det ikke skal være tvil (slik du indirekte påstår det er). Fra meldingen RECSI kom med i november kan man blant annet lese følgende:
"Arctic Securities acted as financial advisor for REC Silicon in the private placement". Det var altså ikke PAS som var tilrettelegger for den siste emisjonen. ARC og PAS var tilrettelegger for emisjonen i oktober 2019, og det er svært lenge siden - følgelig har dette null å si i forhold til dagens analyse.
Faktum er at RECSI har ca. 2 mdrNOK på bok som de kan bruke til oppstart av ML, oppgradering av Butte pluss litt til, og alt dette er i ferd med å spilles ut "as we speak".

Takk igjen Sa2ri og andre for oppdatering frå Pareto og nyhet frå columbiabasinherald.com. Meldingane føyer seg i ei lang rekke positive «signal» for Rec, blant anna politisk og stadig fleire drypp om bruk av silisium i batteri-anodar.
Som partner for Rec i emisjonar vil enkelte kanskje vurdera Pareto som litt inhabil når det gjeld analysen og kursmålet på 30. Ut frå det eg har følgd med på Hanwha og Rec sine meldingar, opplever eg kursmålet som realistisk innan 8-12 mnd.
Det vi burde få til, er auka mediafokus på Butte og oppgraderinga der. Det som skjer i Butte kjem litt i skyggen av ML. Rec burde difor børsmelda ei pressemelding med foto om investeringane som skjer der, eventuelt informera via Youtube. Og seinare gjera det samme når oppstarten av ML er i god gjenge. Prøver å ta det opp med IR-kontakt. Vi bør og prøva å påverka DnB Markets til å ta opp dekning av Rec.

Ref det grønne skiftet - liker det som står mht. fremstillingsmåten og energiforbruk samt pris for produktet til RESCI. Begge er på lavest noivå sammenlignet med andre produsenter og det er nok 2 meget viktige momenter å ta med seg videre. Fra artikkelen:
"Fluid bed reactor is the patented technology REC uses to produce solar-grade polysilicon in a continuous, rather than a batch, process. This makes REC one of the most efficient producers of solar-grade silicon in the world, and REC’s product is some of the least expensive silicon available for solar panels."

I tillegg nevnes at PAS har kommet ut med en opdatering og nytt kursmål på RECSI i dag. De hever kursmålet til 30 (24) og gjentar kjøp, og skriver følgende:
"Outlook improved with Hanwha entry
We raise our TP for RECSI to NOK 30 (24) following the strategic investment
by Hanwha. The investment highlights the desire to build a non-Chinese low
carbon PV value chain and de-risks a Moses Lake re-opening. Accordingly,
we lower our discount rate and eye further upside once the plant is open.
Buy reiterated
Q4 reporting to highlight new partner and political landscape
We expect RECSI to report an EBITDA of USD -2m, with higher electricity prices
pressuring margins from Butte. However, we argue that the most noteworthy with
the event, 18 Feb, will revolve around the new strategic partner and political
developments surrounding the solar value chain in the US.
Hanwha Solutions’ strategic investment de-risks ML reopening
In November, Hanwha Solutions subscribed for 48.2m new shares in RECSI and
acquired 21.9m shares from AKH – both now holding 16.7% of the shares. Hanwha
and REC Silicon have history with the new industrial owner having been a
customer in the past, further, its Q CELLS solar panels are well established in the
US market. In our view, the investment from Hanwha represents a step towards
seriously building a non-Chinese PV value chain. Hanwha operates 10 GW of cell
manufacturing capacity globally and holds 1.7 GW module capacity in the US.
Assuming a 3-3.5g/w efficiency, its cell capacity represents a demand for
polysilicon ~1.7-2x RECSI’s production capacity at Moses Lake. We strongly
believe in a Moses Lake reopening (but push the opening to Q2’23 vs Q1’23
previously) and keep our positive view on the long-term potential. The political
environment is still blurry, but seems to be pushing for more US manufactured
solar. A combination of providing silane gas to the battery industry and polysilicon
to the PV industry is still our main thesis, and we believe such a mix is beneficial
for both long-term utilization and for optimizing profit generation.
TP up to NOK 30 (24) – Buy reiterated
We find the strategic investment by Hanwha as a de-risker for the re-opening of
Moses Lake, while the new cash (NOK 964m) also gives room for additional
“upgrades” (particularly in Butte) beyond capital required for a re-opening of ML.
Further, having two strong industrial partners is something we view as a positive.
We reduce our WACC to ~8% (from 10%) and lift our TP to NOK 30 (24). Buy.

"Outlook improved with Hanwha entry
We raise our TP for RECSI to NOK 30 (24) following the strategic investment
by Hanwha. The investment highlights the desire to build a non-Chinese low
carbon PV value chain and de-risks a Moses Lake re-opening. Accordingly,
we lower our discount rate and eye further upside once the plant is open.
Buy reiterated
Q4 reporting to highlight new partner and political landscape
We expect RECSI to report an EBITDA of USD -2m, with higher electricity prices
pressuring margins from Butte. However, we argue that the most noteworthy with
the event, 18 Feb, will revolve around the new strategic partner and political
developments surrounding the solar value chain in the US.
Hanwha Solutions’ strategic investment de-risks ML reopening
In November, Hanwha Solutions subscribed for 48.2m new shares in RECSI and
acquired 21.9m shares from AKH – both now holding 16.7% of the shares. Hanwha
and REC Silicon have history with the new industrial owner having been a
customer in the past, further, its Q CELLS solar panels are well established in the
US market. In our view, the investment from Hanwha represents a step towards
seriously building a non-Chinese PV value chain. Hanwha operates 10 GW of cell
manufacturing capacity globally and holds 1.7 GW module capacity in the US.
Assuming a 3-3.5g/w efficiency, its cell capacity represents a demand for
polysilicon ~1.7-2x RECSI’s production capacity at Moses Lake. We strongly
believe in a Moses Lake reopening (but push the opening to Q2’23 vs Q1’23
previously) and keep our positive view on the long-term potential. The political
environment is still blurry, but seems to be pushing for more US manufactured
solar. A combination of providing silane gas to the battery industry and polysilicon
to the PV industry is still our main thesis, and we believe such a mix is beneficial
for both long-term utilization and for optimizing profit generation.
TP up to NOK 30 (24) – Buy reiterated
We find the strategic investment by Hanwha as a de-risker for the re-opening of
Moses Lake, while the new cash (NOK 964m) also gives room for additional
“upgrades” (particularly in Butte) beyond capital required for a re-opening of ML.
Further, having two strong industrial partners is something we view as a positive.
We reduce our WACC to ~8% (from 10%) and lift our TP to NOK 30 (24). Buy.

Det skjer ting i Washington State, og en faktor som kan utløse åpningen av ML skal diskuteres i dag:
"Possible return: Warnick bill aims to help REC start up again
OLYMPIA — Legislation proposed by Sen. Judy Warnick, R-Moses Lake, and currently being considered by the Washington State Senate Committee on Business, Financial Services and Trade, could make it possible for REC Silicon’s Moses Lake plant to resume production.
Senate Bill 5849 would extend a targeted 43% business and occupation tax cut for manufacturers of solar panels and components another five years past the original expiration date of 2027 to 2032. The bill is scheduled to be in executive session with the Senate Committee on Business, Financial Services and Trade today.
In addition, the bill would allow for the construction or improvement of existing industrial buildings.
Warnick said the legislation is tied to a potential investment in the works in Moses Lake that would allow REC Silicon, which halted production in 2019 following a lengthy trade dispute with China that blocked access to that country’s solar panel market, to restart polysilicon production.
“They want this company to come in and they want to get REC up and running,” Warnick said. “And they are real serious.”
Chuck Sutton, vice president of fluid bed reactor sales for REC, testified at a committee hearing on Tuesday and said the bill is “a great bill” with bipartisan support that is part of the company’s strategy to get back in operation.
“It’s one of the projects that we are working on,” Sutton told the Columbia Basin Herald. “There are different things that we’ve got to get in place to be ready to restart, and this is part of that.”
Fluid bed reactor is the patented technology REC uses to produce solar-grade polysilicon in a continuous, rather than a batch, process. This makes REC one of the most efficient producers of solar-grade silicon in the world, and REC’s product is some of the least expensive silicon available for solar panels.
Neither Sutton nor Warnick would give any details about the potential investment, though Warnick noted her legislation would help the company “with that decision.”
“It extends the tax break five extra years, and the company is assured it will get the tax break if it locates here,” she said.

Følelse av å være nyheter er kanskje basert på noe?
- Avgjørelse om åpning skulle være meldt Q4, men vi venter fortsatt.
- Bygget i Wheeler-road er pending / ukjent kjøper
- Det presses på for grønne subsidier og BBB i en variant
- Group 14 og Sila Nano meldte også at de skulle melde hvor fabrikken skulle ligge i løpet av 2021 - de avventer også.
Det skjer mye i kullissene - og RECsi omsettes til en verdi av 25% av byggekost til ML i 2022.
God handel!

Håpar ny styreformann/styre og kommande ny GEO tar ein prat om selskapet sin info-strategi. Som vi huskar kunne norske media alltid ta kontakt med tidlegare styreleiar Ulltveit Moe når «dei ville ha ei overskrift». Men han gjorde ofte meir skade enn nytte ved å kritisera myndigheiter og alle andre for Rec sin vanskelige situasjon. No er selskapet i ein langt bedre posisjon, som gir styreformann og GEO grunn til å vera meir offensive. Og dei og Rec kan gjerne kan komma med andre innspel enn det som er børspliktige. Etter mi meining.
Føler vi er svært nære å få nyheter nå . Tipper vi er over 30kr ila av noen uker .. bare en følelse ..

Tar fram igjen denne tråden, starta av Sa2ri, etter stor frustrasjon over «intet nytt» og «null informasjon» frå Rec bl.a. på uke-tråden. Tråden startar med meldinga «Update on the strategic equity investment by Hanwha Solutions and PDMR notification». Er redd mange ikkje har fått med seg denne meldinga, som er veldig betryggande for min posisjon. LES MELDINGA, og bruk gjerne Google Translate!
Takker takker
