Current report
The PMA with ENTRA1 may result in incremental cash outlays in the near term without guaranteeing revenue generating activities.
Current report
Pursuant to the PMA, NuScale is named a key supplier to ENTRA1 with respect to the supply of SMR technology, while ENTRA1 retains sole discretion to select, contract with, or purchase form NuScale or other suppliers or service providers, and NuScale is obligated to make certain milestone contributions to ENTRA1 at varying stages in connection with an ENTRA1 Energy Project. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, ENTRA1 entered into a non-binding agreement with TVA under which ENTRA1 and TVA will collaborate to develop plants to provide TVA with up to 6 gigawatts of new nuclear power generation. This agreement satisfied the criteria for NuScale’s payment of Milestone Contribution 1 for 72 NPMs for an approximate cost of $495 million. Under the PMA, the Company will be obligated to make Milestone Contribution 2 to ENTRA1, or its designated affiliate upon the execution by ENTRA1, or its designated affiliate, of a binding purchase power agreement, energy off-take agreement or document with a Third Party in connection with the development of an Energy Project or the deployment of one or more NPMs into a potential Energy Project, in the amount of approximately $16 million per NPM included in such binding agreement.
Current report
While the anticipated execution of such binding agreement by ENTRA1 would be considered a favorable development for NuScale, it does not guarantee the execution of a revenue generating contract between ENTRA1 and NuScale. Absent such revenue generating contract NuScale would be obligated to pay ENTRA1 the Milestone Contributions without receiving any revenue in return, which would materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Previous wording
Our certificate of incorporation currently authorizes 332,000,000 shares of Class A common stock for issuance. As of June 30, 2025, there were approximately 21,000,000 shares of Class A common stock authorized share remaining. Our primary source of capital raising since 2023 has been selling shares of Class A common stock through the ATM program. Our ability to raise additional capital by selling shares of Class A common stock is limited by the number of available authorized shares, and amending the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares will require stockholder approval. The stockholder approval process can be time consuming, and there is no assurance that stockholders would approve such an amendment, which could negatively impact our ability to raise capital.

Previous wording
We rely heavily upon our relationship with ENTRA1 to commercialize our NPM and our other products and services, as well as our relationships with Fluor, the largest stockholder in NuScale Corp, and other investors and strategic partners. As our exclusive global strategic partner, ENTRA1 holds the exclusive rights for the worldwide commercialization, distribution, sales and development of our products, services and power plants pursuant to the amended and restated Strategic Alliance Agreement, effective May 7, 2025 (the “Strategic Alliance Agreement”), which also restricts our ability to directly or indirectly contact or enter into arrangements with anyone who has, or had, a relationship with ENTRA1. We granted Fluor certain rights to provide engineering, procurement and construction services in connection with NuScale’s general plant design, project-specific designs and services typically performed by Fluor or its direct competitors. Similarly, we have entered into certain agreements with Doosan Heavy Industries and Construction Company, Ltd., IHI Corporation, and Sarens Nuclear & Industrial Services, LLC for certain planning, engineering, manufacturing and support activities with JGC Holdings Corporation, an affiliate of Japan NuScale Innovation, LLC, related to the engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) and commissioning of the first NuScale SMR-based plant, with Samsung C&T Corporation related to certain EPC activities; and with GS Energy with respect to project development in certain markets.

Previous wording
Our strategic partners may have interests that diverge from our interests, and which may hinder our ability to negotiate sales to customers. If we lose our agreements with strategic partners, we may need to find new contractors who may have less experience designing and building nuclear plants, developing NuScale SMRs, or commercializing our products and services. In addition, in the event of a termination of the Strategic Alliance Agreement, there will be non-circumvention restrictions on our ability to pursue certain opportunities without ENTRA1 or to contact or enter into any arrangement with anyone that has, or had, a relationship with ENTRA1, and may subject the Company to significant damages in the event the Company causes a material breach. The termination of any of the Strategic Alliance Agreement or agreements described above with Fluor, Doosan Heavy Industries and Construction Company, Ltd., IHI Corporation, and Sarens Nuclear & Industrial Services, LLC, JGC Holdings Corporation, Samsung C&T Corporation, or GS Energy could substantially hinder our ability to expand our production capacity and installation of NuScale power plants and could materially adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and/or reputation.

Previous wording
The federal government has indicated its intent to adopt a new approach to trade policy and in some cases to renegotiate, or potentially terminate, certain existing bilateral or multi-lateral trade agreements. It has also initiated or is considering the imposition of tariffs on certain foreign goods. Changes in U.S. trade policy have resulted in many U.S. trading partners adopting responsive trade policies, and additional responsive trade policies could be adopted in the future. These measures could also result in increased costs for goods imported into the United States. This in turn could require us to increase prices to our customers, or, if we are unable to increase prices, result in lowering our margin on products sold.
Current wording
Recent changes in U.S. trade policy, including the imposition of new of increased tariffs in the U.S. on certain foreign goods or retaliatory tariffs in response to such tariffs could cause an increase in our cost and delay in delivery of goods related to our products. Such increased costs could require us to increase prices to our customers, or, if we are unable to increase prices, result in lowering our margin on products sold.
