About ATOME

ATOME PLC is an AIM-listed company targeting green fertiliser production with
445-megawatt of projects in Paraguay and a further pipeline of potential
projects in Central America. ATOME has now created its ATOME POWER division
which is in the early stages of developing a significant green power
generation and infrastructure business. ATOME's projects are situated at the
heart of one of the world's largest food export hubs - the Mercosur region in
the Southern Cone of South America with the Argentinian and Brazilian markets
next door. ATOME's production will disrupt the region's heavy dependence on
imported fossil fuel generated fertilizer, contributing to regional food
security goals.

ATOME's first project in Villeta, Paraguay, benefits from a 125MW renewable
power purchase agreement and a 30-hectare site in a tax-free zone, Front End
Engineering Design studies have been completed and a 10-year Definitive
Offtake Agreement signed with Yara International, the leading international
fertiliser company, for offtake of all of Villeta's green fertiliser
production, as well as a US$465 million fixed-price EPC contract with leading
ammonia and fertiliser engineering specialist Casale S.A. ATOME declared Final
Investment Decision on the Villeta Project (subject to shareholder approval)
in April 2026 following completion of US$665 million project finance with
construction to commence in 2026.

All power for ATOME is from 100% renewable sources and all chosen sites are
located close to the power and water sources and export facilities to serve
significant domestic and then international demand. Roughly a third of human
caused GHG emissions is linked to food production according to UN data, and
fertiliser use and production is the source of more emissions than the
shipping and aviation industries combined. ATOME's green Calcium Ammonium
Nitrate product will contribute to decarbonising the food sector from the
bottom up, getting to the root of the food value chain's emissions. ATOME's
renewably generated fertiliser is both low-carbon and provides a secure,
stable alternative product not reliant on fossil fuels, unlike all nitrogen
fertilizer production today.

The Company has a green-focused Board which is supported by major shareholders
including Peter Levine, Schroders, a leading fund manager, and Baker Hughes, a
global technology company operating in the energy and industry sectors.
