7

Clean-tech capable of material change to global emissions/oil usage

Institutional backing from Shell – diligence completed, support committed

Shell fleet of 3,000 vessels – 3-5 year target of 20% of fleet

Global addressable fleet of [20,000] vessels

Estimate of $1m profit per ship – 2/4 yr ship owner payback

Secure IP and 4-5 technology leadership

The Flettner Rotor

Harnessing wind using aircraft wing principals – 13x power of a sail 1

Wind passing a rotating cylinder creates lift – ‘Magnus Effect’ 2

A cylinder on a ship can use this ‘lift’ force to propel the vessel 3

Tried and tested on very large ships – fuel savings of c.30+% 4

Science from 1920’s, war and massive shipping inertia killed it... 5

Thiiink has improved, patented, packaged and commercialised it 6

Owns key IP to Flettner Rotor Sails – reduces shipping fuel costs by 30% 1

5

Shell backing – Thiiink rotors on vessels under long term charter

Shell nominated ship owner – provider vessels for charter to Shell

Application to 5–10 Shell vessels - conditional only on confirmatory trial

Proven, tested technology – e-ship, Shell investigation, NASA validation

6

7

Commercialised with blue-chip partners – Constellium, VSL, Babcock

High value second phase – large scale deployment to Shell’s charter fleet

Overview

The Shell Partnership

Close working and personal relationship with Thiiink 1

2

3

4

5

Detailed diligence undertaken – commercial potential and safety - third party scientific validation and application to Shell fleet - third party safety diligence with reliance

Formal Shell safety vetting approval granted to Thiiink - safe and viable for long distance routs - Shell commitment to ports and docking stations of viability Shell charter agreement - Thiiink rotor vessel from shipping partner - three year charter for one vessel - significant increase in vessel number post 12m confirmatory sailing

Shell commitment on basis of application to charter fleet

Commercially motivated – charterer pays for fuel, >2x the charter cost

6

Ship owner partnership

[to follow]

Most commercially viable rotors - Thiiink patented design provides 50% incremental Flettner performance

2

The Thiiink Flettner Rotor

Production ready technology – [no] further R&D required - outsourced production – partners have co-funded development

1 Leading developer of Flettner technology - 4-5 yr technology lead - EUR 25-30m catch-up R&D spend required

3

Easy, simple, low cost to install - limited change to ship structure, folds on deck – non-complex mechanicals - fitting during re-fuelling/ unloading/ servicing

4

No obstacles to deploy except terminal and Oil Major vetting – completed - cost intensive approval process – completed both via Shell - significant barrier to entry

5

Confirmatory Thiiink trial – current funding requirement – c.12 months - c.12 month sea trial to optimise equipment/ comply will Shell std process - Thiiink installs rotors, ship owner acquires post trial

1

Development & Liquidity Event

Five+ ship batch 2 order – for Shell charter (again) – additional 12 m - post confirmatory trial - brings Thiiink to cash flow positive - [ship owner purchases rotors day 1]

2

Confirm first volume orders – target 20% of Shell fleet – additional 6 m - assorted Shell approved/ nominated ship owners

3

Santander sale process - post singing volume contracts – 24-30 m post stage 1 - full or minority exits

Stage

Environmental Contribution

shipping consumes

6.9million barrels of

oil a day – 75% of the

output of Saudi Arabia

The obvious questions...

Q: Why have Flettner rotors not been commercialised before?

Conservative shipping industry – inertia to commercial application - significant impact to appearance of vessels - ship owner/ship charterer ‘old-boy’ network - newer Flettner ships (E-ship) for green-marketing, not commercial shipping

4

Vetting costs – c.EUR 40m cost to achieve global approvals 5

Development needed to make viable for modern vessels - vessel size/ complexity - docking regulations - safety/ reputations concerns, particularly at oil majors

3

Oil price pressure 6

Fist Flettner rotors on ships before WW2, but not war-viable - full scale large ship trials – proven positive results - technology prioritisation during war – rotors make ships highly visible

1

Limited funds for technology development post war 2

Q: How close could competitors be to bringing something to market? E-ship?

Basic Flettner know-how is widely available - achieves fuel savings up to 20% - barriers to utilisation (pervious Q) have prevented commercialisation

1

2 Thiiink IP protected rotors are 50% more effective - achieve fuel savings up to 40% - undisputed premium product – economics dictate little value in compromising 3 Competitors exist, but only for basic Flettner technology - IP barriers to use Thiiink technology - R&D barriers to create alternatives to Thiiink (EUR 20-30m/ 4-5 years) - start-ups have been seen (Magnus) but little progress 4 Enercon have produced only modern scale Flettner ship (E-ship) - produced as a marketing exercise to promote clean-energy wind turbines - relatively basic Flettner technology - Enercon is a turbine business – rotors = significant strategic shift - E-ship chief engineer now works for Thiiink

Q: Why has everyone signed up without a prototype?

Value of Thiiink solution is: a) IP of optimisation technology – 50% incremental performance; and b) Ship fastening and storage solution – key stress point – non-failure critical

1

Modern computer simulation accepted in Offshore Industry - not possible to test complex equipment (e.g. Oil rigs) – reliance on simulation - Design-build-Go process generally accepted - complexity of Thiiink rotor c.3% of typical complex Offshore structures - 50% incremental performance easily verifiable

2

Ship fastening/ storage developed with Thiiink suppliers - Constellium, VSL, Babcock - technical rigour/ quality ethos/ positioning provides comfort on failure risk

3

Technical competence, trust, partnership history between stakeholders - common understanding of technical requirements across project - able to judge partner ability to deliver (Shell/ Hartmann/ Constellium/ VSL)

4

Q: What is the confirmatory trial risk?

Extensive, scale testing (E-ship) – no complications

1

2

Performance risk is considered very low

3 Simulation data all positive – generally accepted accuracy

4

Significant key supplier investment – blue chip engineering companies - commitments on non-failure

5

Need for trial is mainly procedural – Shell control function requirement 6

Key technical objective of trial is for optimisation data – wind rates etc. 7

Significant 3rd party technical diligence, including commissioned by Shell

Q: What happens if the wind is not blowing the right way?

Savings achievable for existing shipping routs / voyage durations - seasonal average wind direction and force

1

2 Additional savings (up to 60% fuel savings) achievable if: - course optimisation for winds - longer voyage durations

Additional performance via computer algorithm optimisation - triangulating wind forecasts, ship destination, tides voyage length - incremental at-sea data required for implementation
