GENEVA, SWITZERLAND (1 December 2025) – Members of the management of Gunvor Group (“Gunvor” or the “Company”), one of the leading physical energy trading companies in the world, announce the successful acceptance of a management-led buy-out offer of the Company from existing ownership. Under the agreement, majority owner Torbjörn Törnqvist will sell the entirety of his holdings in favor of a group of current employees, who will wholly own the Company going forward. There will continue to be no outside ownership or interests.

The management buy-out, first conceived of by the Company’s leadership at Gunvor’s all-hands retreat in Morocco in 2022, will entail a series of structural and governance changes designed to ensure the long-term commercial success and global growth of the 25-year-old company. The buy-out has been advanced at this time to establish a definitive reset and path forward for a Company for which misperceptions about its past have become an impossible distraction.

Gary Pedersen has been appointed as chief executive officer of the Company. Pedersen was signed in 2024 as CEO Americas based in Houston, with the intention of eventually assuming global leadership. (Pedersen’s biography can be found below.) For an interim period, he will be based in both Houston and Geneva.

“The time is right for this transition. A generational shift has well been underway, and we have the financial strength, liquidity, and depth of leadership to continue to advance our global growth strategy,” said Pedersen. “Our goal is to uphold our leading role as a reliable and competitive participant in the global energy markets—today and well into the future.”

The new ownership of the Company remains fully committed to the existing strategy of pursuing global growth, diversification, and investing along the energy supply chain, with a particular emphasis on investments and development within the U.S. market, along with Europe and Asia.

The Company will further implement changes to the Gunvor Group Ltd Board of Directors and Executive Committee, which now exclude members of the Törnqvist family or representatives thereof. Developments related to governance and leadership structures will be announced in due course.

BUDAPEST – Gunvor, one of the world’s leading independent commodities trading companies, and New Energy (member of the NE-TECH Group), a Budapest-based technology company specializing in the advanced chemical recycling of end-of-life tires, are pleased to announce the signing of a strategic collaboration agreement aimed at jointly advancing the transition toward a circular economy.

We are proud that we achieved this level, where we qualify our products to the high standards of Gunvor, and partner with one of the world’s leading independent commodities trading companies This collaboration will result in the production of more environment friendly products made by the petrochemical industry.”

Strategic alignment would secure critical feedstock, product offtake, and sustainability value as Genesis Fertilizers advances toward a low-carbon production future in Western Canada

SASKATOON – Genesis Fertilizers is pleased to announce the signing of a commercial Letter of Intent (LOI) with Gunvor USA LLC, one of the world’s largest independent commodities trading houses, to jointly pursue three key agreements for Genesis Fertilizers’ proposed nitrogen fertilizer production facility at Belle Plaine, SK (the Facility): a natural gas supply agreement, a diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) offtake agreement, and a carbon credits offtake agreement. This collaboration further advances Genesis Fertilizers’ commitment to building a modern, low-carbon fertilizer facility that provides value across the supply chain—from global traders to Western Canadian farmers.

The three agreements currently in discussion to be finalized are intended to govern long-term strategic collaboration, including natural gas supply to the Facility, full offtake of the Facility’s DEF product to Gunvor, and Gunvor’s purchase of up to 100% of carbon credits generated through the Facility’s carbon capture and sequestration technologies.

“This is a defining step in securing critical commercial components for the Genesis Fertilizers project,” said Derek Penner, President and CEO of Genesis Fertilizers. “Gunvor brings exceptional market insight and global scale, and their participation is a strong validation of our integrated, sustainability-driven model.”

Key Elements of the Proposed Agreements:

Natural Gas Supply Agreement:

• Secures natural gas feedstock from Gunvor for the Facility, enabling year-round production at scale.
• Encompasses approximately 23 million GJ per year from 2029, creating incremental demand for Canada natural resources and displacing imports.
• Ensures flexible, firm delivery supported by long-term transport arrangements.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Offtake Agreement:

• Gunvor to purchase 100% of the DEF volume produced by the Genesis facility annually (approx. 215,000 MT).
• DEF will be produced to international purity standards and delivered FOB via rail.

Carbon Credit Offtake Agreement:

• Gunvor to purchase up to 100% of carbon credits generated from Genesis’s carbon capture and sequestration process.
• Represents approximately 682,000 MT per year of CO₂ credits.
• Designed to align with emerging regulatory regime and carbon markets.

Gunvor highlighted the alignment in values, stating: “Genesis Fertilizers represents the future of sustainable agri-input production. Our team is excited to collaborate on this transformational project and bring forward a supply chain anchored in reliability, transparency, and emissions reduction.”

Enabling a Sustainable Ag Future

The Belle Plaine facility is being designed as one of the most modern and sustainable nitrogen fertilizer production sites in North America. Featuring an integrated carbon capture system and built to optimize product and energy efficiency, the project is expected to play a key role in supporting Canadian agriculture’s low-emission future.

The Letter of Intent signed with Gunvor is a critical milestone as Genesis Fertilizers moves toward Final Investment Decision (FID), targeted in early 2026.

About Genesis Fertilizers
Genesis Fertilizers is proposing to finance, design and construct a new, highly efficient nitrogen fertilizer production and distribution system that serves today’s modern farmer. This will be comprised of a central production facility constructed near low-cost raw materials serving a Western Canadian network of strategically located farmer-centric distribution centres. Genesis Fertilizers’ is a privately held limited partnership, and its securities do not trade on any exchange.

SINGAPORE — AMIGO LNG S.A. de C.V.
