The profit after tax for the year was DKK 51.8m against DKK 45.9m in 2008. This was the BEST-EVER PROFIT reported in group history, and the Board of Directors and Management consider it to be very satisfactory. THE STRONG GROWTH in the FZ silicon market continued in 2009 and during the year, Topsil concluded new long-term customer contracts with its major customers, thus ensuring a substantial part of the coming years' growth. IN EARLY 2010, TOPSIL CONCLUDED A NEW LONG-TERM CONTRACT for the delivery of polysilicon with one of the two suppliers. Overall, the contract, which runs until the end of 2015, was concluded on more favourable commercial terms than previous agreements. TOPSIL HAS ADOPTED A NEW GROWTH STRATEGY covering the period from 2010 to 2012. To meet the strongly increasing demand and optimise operations and improve competitiveness, the group plans to build a new plant for Float Zone production in the Frederikssund area. This project calls for investments of DKK 250-300m. In order to finance this project and to ensure capital resources that match the company's growth potential, Topsil is planning a share issue in the course of 2010 with expected proceeds of DKK 75-100m.
