History 1957 Commissioning of Phase I of the gaseous diffusion uranium enrichment plant of Angarsk Electrolysis Chemical Complex. 1963 Commissioning of all industrial facilities of AECC: uranium conversion plant, enrichment plant and all supporting infrastructure. 1974 Full renovation of uranium conversion plant completed. New process equipment developed and commissioned. 1995 Gaseous diffusion uranium enrichment technology fully replaced with gas centrifuge technology. Switching to new technology resulted in substantial increase in throughput while drastically reducing the environmental footprint 1996 Operation of Triflics Plant commences to produce Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid and Trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride. 1997 Commercial production of R-14 refrigerant commences. International Uranium Enrichment Center is established at the AECC site under the aegis of International Atomic 2007 Energy Agency (IAEA) AECC and other conversion and enrichment plants of Russia become affiliates of Fuel Company “TVEL”. 2010 2014 Uranium conversion plant shut down. Triflics plant operation resumed. 2016 2018 2018 Potassium bifluoride (PBF) plant operation resumed. 4
Prospective businesses based on the Chemical Plant infrastructure Potassium bifluoride production Renewal of potassium bifluoride production. Anhydrous hydrogen fluoride production Renewal of anhydrous HF production. Lithium hydroxide production Lithium hydroxide monohydrate production using electrochemical conversion of lithium salts. Elegas (sulfur hexafluoride) production Renewal of elemental fluorine production and start-up of SF6 production. Triflics production Renewal of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid and anhydride, production of triflic derivatives Artificial quartz crystals production Artificially grown high-purity quartz crystals production (250 MT/a) – a joint venture with Germany-based company. 5
Project location Angarsk, Russia PBF plant AECC production site Potassium bifluoride (PBF) plant is located in “Electrolyte Recovery Building (ERB)” which is a part of Uranium Conversion Plant infrastructure. ERB is equipped with all equipment and engineering networks including industrial sewage and air ducts to the central gas cleaning station required for plant operation. ERB is not included in Nuclear Facility and does not require decommissioning as part of Uranium Conversion Plant shut-down. 6

Target market overview Elemental fluorine (F 2 ) is only commercially produced using Production of 1 electrolytic method . It is the most cost-efficient method employing elemental fluorine HF decomposition using KF*2HF as electrolyte. Etching – cleaning metal and alloy surface from oxides, rust, grease 2 Etching agent in the and other contaminants. production of aircraft An important use in aerospace industry is the removal of ceramic rods from turbine blades in melted potassium bifluoride 2) . engines Treatment of glass with fluorine-containing compounds results in 3 Glass etching for formation of insoluble chemical films creating “frost” effect which can “frost” effect vary depending on exposure duration and agent concentration. Flux in steel making is a group of inorganic substances added to the ore to facilitate separation of metal from gangue and decreases 4 Flux component melting temperature. In welding, flux is a special material that has protective and cleaning properties. In soldering, flux is a material that removes oxide from the surface of soldered parts and decreases surface tension. 10
