Long-term output performance guarantees and equipment warranty available for comprehensive enterprise risk management program

Hamilton, Bermuda, April 19, 2022 — Ariel Re, a global (re)insurer with offices in Bermuda, London and Hong Kong, today announced that it has insured the long-term performance warranty of Ecogensus LLC, a global leader in advanced technology focused on delivering sustainable waste management solutions.

Through its Lloyd’s Syndicate 1910, Ariel Re provides insurance coverage to backstop comprehensive performance guarantees for Ecogensus’ recyclers, which process solid waste into high performance
biofuels. The insurance coverage puts the strength of Ariel Re behind the performance guarantees for Ecogensus’ processing capacity and fuel specifications.

In addition to the performance warranty, Ariel Re and Ecogensus have also developed a project revenue protection program, which is structured to support debt lenders and based on an up-to-10- year facility level output performance warranty (“OPW”). The OPW program can be coupled with a facility start-up guarantee, which provides a seamless enterprise risk management solution.

“With a growing need for advanced technology to address significant environmental issues, including methane release and ocean plastic pollution, the global market will benefit from product offerings
by Ecogensus,” said Frank Petrocelli, Senior Risk Analyst, Clean Energy Risk Solutions at Ariel Re. “Insurance products from strong counterparties like Ariel Re, will help to accelerate the use of these
technologies.”

George Schulz, Leader Americas of Ariel Re Clean Energy Risk Solutions, added: “As the demand for sustainable waste management solutions continues to grow and project owners and investors seek
support of complex performance warranties from recycling solution providers, the Ecogensus team has demonstrated a scalable waste recycling solution with a strong focus on robust and reliable
performance; with open dialogue and sharing of information, it enables us to tailor a custom risk transfer solution. Ariel Re is pleased to help Ecogensus achieve its strategic growth goals.”

solutions as they upgrade their facilities and enhance their valuations with our state-of-the-art recycling solutions.”
