FREYR Battery Takes Steps to Reduce Cash Burn

Shares of FREYR Battery experienced a considerable decline on Thursday following the company's announcement of cost-cutting measures aimed at extending its cash burn. Currently trading at $2.46, the stock has witnessed a significant decrease of 27% during midday trading, with a total decline of 72% this year.

In an effort to optimize its financial situation, FREYR Battery is implementing organization-wide adjustments, which are anticipated to reduce the rate at which the company exhausts its cash reserves by 50%. Consequently, FREYR Battery expects to have a projected liquidity runway of over two years.
