Pyrum Innovations AG and SUAS Ecology s.r.o. conclude shareholder agreement for joint plant in Czechia

• 49% equity stake secured by Pyrum
• Long-term oil offtake agreement for new plant for ten years concluded
• Commissioning expected in 2027

Dillingen/Saar, November 20, 2025 – Pyrum Innovations AG (“Pyrum”, ISIN: DE000A2G8ZX8) and SUAS Ecology s.r.o. have signed a shareholder agreement for the joint venture “SUAS reTIRE s.r.o.” in Czechia. As part of the agreement, Pyrum acquired a 49% stake in the equity of the new joint venture, which plans to develop, build and operate a state-of-the-art recycling plant in Czechia.

By successfully securing its equity share of around EUR 8.6 million, Pyrum has completed another key step towards full project financing. Another significant milestone is the conclusion of a long-term ten-year oil offtake agreement for the pyrolysis oil produced at the future plant. This agreement underlines the confidence in Pyrum's technology and the future viability of the project.

The next steps now include finalising the loan agreements with the financing bank in Czechia and concluding the plant purchase agreement. Latest in spring 2026, orders for plant components with long delivery times (long-lead items) are to be initiated, accompanied by preparations for the ground-breaking. The start of construction will mark the transition to the implementation phase and make an important contribution to the expansion of a sustainable circular economy in Europe.

Martin Čermák, Vice Chairman of the Executive Board of SUAS GROUP and Chairman of the executive board of Sokolovská uhelná: "With signing the contract, we look forward to a long-term and close cooperation with Pyrum. This partnership combines our technological expertise, our industrial resources and our strategic goals in a project of particular importance. We are proud to be able to actively shape the growing circular economy in Europe together with Pyrum. Now begins a new phase in which we will make this plant become reality and exploit the full potential of our cooperation."

Pascal Klein, CEO of Pyrum Innovations AG: "We are very excited about the next steps we will take together with SUAS reTIRE. With the secured equity base and the concluded oil offtake agreement, we have reached two key milestones that further strengthen confidence in our joint project. For us, this new plant is much more than just another plant – it stands for progress, cooperation and proof that the circular economy can work successfully on an industrial scale. Together with SUAS, we want to prove that sustainable technologies and economic success can go hand in hand."

The new plant, with a recycling capacity of over 22,000 tonnes of end-of-life tyres per year, will be built in Vřesová, near the German-Czech border, and is expected to start commissioning in 2027. SUAS already operates a power plant at the site, which will be able to convert the gas produced during pyrolysis into electricity without additional investment – an important step towards efficient and resource-saving energy recovery.
