Green Hydrogen Systems in brief

Green Hydrogen Systems is a leading provider of standardised and modular electrolysers to produce green hydrogen solely based on renewable electricity. With its wide range of possible applications, green hydrogen plays a key role in the ongoing fundamental shift in our energy systems towards a net-zero emission society in 2050. As a result, the demand for green hydrogen is surging, requiring a significant scale-up of electrolysis capacity. Founded in 2007 and building on more than 10 years of technology development, Green Hydrogen Systems today has a commercially proven and cost-competitive electrolysis technology endorsed by leading energy, as well as industrial companies.

Disclaimer

Nothing in this announcement should be interpreted or construed as a confirmation that the Offering will in fact raise gross proceeds of DKK 225 million or more and that the Offering will be completed, nor should it be deemed to be an announcement of the result or expected result of the Offering. The subscription commitments are subject to certain conditions, including that no event having a material adverse effect on the business, financial position, results of operation or assets and liabilities of the Company and its investments taken as a whole, occurs prior to the time of completion of the Offering, and there is no guarantee that such event will not occur. Moreover, the occurrence of an event requiring that a supplement to the Prospectus is published will entitle investors who have submitted orders to subscribe for new shares in the Offering to withdraw their orders within two working days following publication of the relevant supplement (in addition to such event potentially releasing the subscribers under the subscription commitments from their obligations) If the order is not withdrawn within the stipulated period any subscription for new shares in the Offering will remain valid and binding. Generally, the Offering may be withdrawn due to a number of circumstances as further described in the Prospectus.
