Approve an RFI to four alternative mills

Low risk. Volumes go out as ranges. No Halvard prices leave the building.

Why

Nordstahl holds 34% of this spend. A second source you could actually switch to is the strongest thing you can bring to 12 Nov. All four mills melt in the EU or EEA, so no CBAM and no import quota.

Share your 2027 volume band with Nordstahl

High. 28 to 33 kt across 7 plants would be shared. Plant details stay private.

Why

Nordstahl will only move from 60 to 90 day terms against a committed volume band. Last year they agreed the same with Varde.

Counter Nordstahl at +€23/t and keep the quarterly index

Medium. This sets your stance for 12 Nov. Walk-away stays at +€40/t.

Why

Nordstahl asks +€62/t. Twelve months of ore, coal, gas, power and carbon prices justify +€23/t. Its request to price monthly instead of quarterly would have cost Halvard €1.42M since mid-2025.
