Current report

We have been engaged in efforts to monetize the Ohio Farm Project through discussions with parties in the aquaculture industry. While those discussions remain ongoing, evolving market conditions have led us to broaden our evaluation of strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value. The Ohio Farm Site possesses a unique combination of infrastructure assets that we believe may be attractive to participants in the rapidly expanding power generation and digital infrastructure sectors. As part of an expanded strategic review, we intend to engage with developers, utilities, independent power producers, infrastructure investors, and other strategic partners regarding a range of potential transactions. These may include an outright sale of the property, joint development arrangements, long-term leasing opportunities, or other structures that could realize the value of the Ohio Farm Site's infrastructure assets. We will also evaluate opportunities to participate more directly in infrastructure or energy development where doing so could enhance long-term shareholder value.

Previous wording

AquaBounty has historically pursued a growth strategy that included the construction of large-scale RAS farms for producing our GE Atlantic salmon. We had commenced construction of our 10,000 metric ton Ohio Farm Project, but paused the construction in June 2023, as the cost estimate to complete the farm continued to substantially increase due to inflation and other factors. Further, these cost increases impaired our ability to pursue municipal bond financing, which was a necessary component of our funding strategy. We subsequently engaged an investment bank to pursue a range of funding and strategic alternatives and to assist management in the prioritization of our core assets. These efforts resulted in the sale of our Indiana Farm in July 2024, recurring sales throughout 2024 and 2025 of selected Ohio Equipment Assets originally intended for the Ohio Farm Project, and the sale of our Canadian Farms, and our Corporate IP in March 2025. After completion of these transactions, our primary remaining asset is our investment in the Ohio Farm Project, consisting of the remaining Ohio Equipment Assets and the Ohio Farm Site. We continue to work with an investment bank to identify the optimal path forward for realizing the potential of this asset, including its possible sale.

Previous wording

With the exit from our fish rearing operations, we have significantly reduced our headcount and on-going operating costs. We maintain a small core group of corporate individuals to oversee our strategic options, our asset sale transactions and our books and records. As of March 31, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $389 million and $441 thousand in cash on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. We require new funding to provide liquidity for working capital and to fund our evolving strategic plan. Consequently, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital, and there can be no assurance that such capital will be available in sufficient amounts, on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate positive cash flows from operating activities, we may finance our cash needs through a combination of sales of non-core assets, equity offerings, debt financings, government or other third-party funding, strategic alliances, and licensing arrangements.

Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures, or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through government or other third-party funding, marketing and distribution arrangements, or other collaborations, strategic alliances, or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs, or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.
