Mission is now to expand the segment - So far, Meyer Burger has successfully insulated itself from price pressure in the broader market.

The TCTF only provides the state aid framework, Member States need to set up the necessary schemes All funding under the matching clause needs individual state aid notification and approval from the European Commission European Commission NZI-A PREMIUM (in EU Parliament & Council now) ☐ The Net Zero Industry Act (NZI-A) is a regulation proposed by the European Commission. European Parliament and Council still need to approve. Adjustments possible, approval is likely by end of 2023 NZI-A would offer additional support with a Net Zero Resilience Premium (Article 21) and through advantages in renewable energy auctions (Art. 19+20) Member states would be required to establish premium funding for sustainable & resilient products for end consumers: 5% extra on prices that end customer pay for „net-zero resilience" modules Member states would be required to adjust auction results according to net-zero resilience criteria Parts of premiums would then be expected to trickle down to the manufacturer Securing a share of the premium through pricing will be key to additional OPEX support MEYER BURGER Meyer Burger Technology AG, Presentation for Investors, Analysts and Media, March 23, 2023 20#21• Outlook 2023 • Ongoing expansion projects in Germany and the U.S., with increased target to achieve approximately 3.4 GW nameplate capacity by end of 2024 Targets for 2023: ~800 MW production Positive EBITDA • Fast track addition of further capacities depending on industry policy implementation in Europe and the U.S. Nominal production capacity expected [GW] 6.96.9 Cell Module 4.1 4.1 3.4 3.4 1.4 1.4 1.0 1.0 0.40.4 2021 2022 2023e 2024e 2025e¹ 2026e¹ ☑ MEYER BURGER 1) Scenario, depending on policy support, e.g. EU Innovation Fund Meyer Burger Technology AG, Presentation for Investors, Analysts and Media, March 23, 2023 21#22☑ MEYER BURGER With the right energy anything is possible
