Update Hazelwood plant status after exceptionally heavy rainfalls and floods in St. Louis area

Amsterdam, 5 August 2022. Cabka N.V. ("Cabka" or the "Company"), a leading integrated circular production company, listed at Euronext Amsterdam, provides an update of the status of its Hazelwood plant after extreme rainfall and subsequent floods in the metropolitan area of St. Louis (MO), USA, forced to shut it down on Tuesday 27 July, as reported earlier.

After a first assessment of the damages, the Company concludes that production is not going to restart in the short term on its premises in Hazelwood, Missouri, one of Cabka's production plants representing roughly 15% of Cabka's overall production capacity. That said, all essential injection molding tools have been successfully recovered, and will be used to continue supply to key customers using alternative production capacities. Further assessments are on-going, and the Company expects to present additional information at publication of the Half-Year results on 17 August 2022.
