Norsk Hydro: Hydro notified about company reorganization of Markbygden Ett AB

Norsk Hydro
Hydro has been informed Markbygden Ett AB has entered a company reorganization
process in accordance with the Swedish Reorganization Act. The process may
affect deliveries under the long-term power contract between Markbygden Ett AB
and Hydro Energi AS, but it will not affect the security of supply to Hydro's
Norwegian smelters.

Hydro Energi AS signed a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) with
Markbygden Ett AB in 2017, for annual baseload supply of 1.65 TWh in the period
2021-2039. The contract was a key enabler for financing and developing the
onshore wind park Markbygden, located west of Piteå, in northern Sweden. The
park's annual production was estimated to be 2.2 TWh.

Due to significantly lower-than-expected production levels and subsequent
financial challenges, Markbygden Ett AB has not been able to deliver power to
Hydro in accordance with the PPA since February 6, 2023. Today, November 14, an
application by Markbygden Ett AB to enter into a company reorganization has been
granted by the district court of Umeå in Sweden.

Markbygden Ett AB is owned by China General Nuclear Power Group Europe Energy
(CGNEE) and BNR Infrastructure, owned by GE Capital and Silk Road Fund China.

As of Q3 2023, Hydro's claims against Markbygden Ett AB for non-delivered power
of 0.9 TWh since February 2023 amounts to approximately EUR 12 million. Hydro
will seek compensation for the non-delivered volumes.

Hydro is in dialogue with the local court administration and awaiting
information about further process and timeline.

Hydro has a robust sourcing strategy and portfolio. The power consumption at our
Norwegian smelters is close to fully covered through 2030, based on an average
annual equity hydropower production of 9.4 TWh and a long-term contract
portfolio of around 10 TWh per year.
