Current report
During 2025, we manufactured our SiMaxx batteries in our facility in Fremont, California. To support increased demand for our SiCore batteries, as of December 2025 and going forward throughout 2026, we are expanding this facility to increase the capacity of our pilot line to 10 MWh and expand our capabilities to support quick turn SiCore customer prototypes. This expansion is accelerated by the DIU contract awarded in July 2025, which was subsequently amended to increase the contract to $18.1 million.
Current report
In April 2023, we entered into a lease agreement to lease approximately 774,000 square feet of premises in Brighton, Colorado. As of December 31, 2025, due to larger industry dynamics, particularly our ability to access global contract manufacturing to rapidly service the demand from our customers, we recorded $19.1 million in impairment charges to the associated right-of-use asset and construction-in-progress to reflect our intention to terminate the lease of the Brighton facility. On January 30, 2026, we entered into an agreement with the lessor to terminate this lease in exchange for a one-time payment of $20.0 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we also derecognized the related lease liability of $33.2 million and the remaining right‑of‑use asset of $13.4 million, and recorded a net loss on lease termination of approximately $0.2 million. We believe that our outsource contract manufacturing strategy enables rapid capacity expansion with minimal capital investment.

Current report
As of March 31, 2026, we had access to annual production exceeding 2.0 GWh of SiCore batteries in pouch, cylindrical and prismatic formats through our existing manufacturing supply agreements with our global contract manufacturers, including the Amprius Korea Battery Alliance. During 2025, we manufactured our SiMaxx batteries in our facility in Fremont, California. To support increased demand of our SiCore batteries, as of December 2025 and going forward throughout 2026, we are expanding this facility to increase the capacity of our pilot line to 10 MWh and expand our capabilities to support quick turn SiCore customer prototypes.

Current report
The fiscal 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (“NDAA”) includes new provisions and rules that are expected to impact battery suppliers to the United States Government over the next several years. Defense contractors must adapt to new restrictions regarding the source of battery components and materials. Our contract with the DIU includes provisions for us to research and adapt our supply chain to meet the new requirements.
Current report
Abrupt political change, terrorist activity, and armed conflict, including the conflicts between Ukraine and Russia and in the Middle East has had an adverse impact on the global economy and financial markets. Although our business operations have not been directly impacted by such events to date, our batteries are incorporated into end products that are used by defense industry customers in jurisdictions experiencing military conflict. As a result, any cessation or escalation of such conflicts could limit economic activity in the affected regions or impact our future sales. Conversely, any cessation or de-escalation of these conflicts could alter regional market dynamics and competitive conditions, which may create both opportunities and challenges. For example, while there is risk that a cessation of hostilities could curb demand for our products, due to a decrease of the need for combat zone drones, it is also possible that a cessation of hostilities could result in increased demand for our batteries for use in proactive defense, peace keeping or reconstruction efforts. Furthermore, increased freight charges from our carriers has become more common and are expected to continue into the foreseeable future due to elevated oil prices as a result of the geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The conflicts in these regions could impact our operations and sales, as well as those of our customers, suppliers and manufacturers, and we are not able to accurately predict the timing, outcome or broader impact to our financial condition and results of operations.
Current report
We also expect that our capital expenditure requirements may increase materially as we build out our 10 MWh manufacturing pilot line in Fremont, California, though this expansion is partially funded with support from the DIU through a contract awarded in July 2025, which was subsequently amended to increase the contract amount to $18.1 million.

In addition to the manufacturing capacity provided by our global partners, discussed above, we believe that expanding our existing manufacturing capacity would help us meet the growing demand of our customers. We have completed the retrofit of our anode fabrication machine and are in the process of optimizing our manufacturing protocol to maximize output, as well as adding SiCore manufacturing capabilities. We previously announced a plan to build a GWh-scale manufacturing facility in our leased premises in Brighton, Colorado. We completed our pre-construction planning for this facility as of December 31, 2024. However, the scope and schedule of the construction of this facility will be determined based on, among other factors, the availability and timing of funding. In addition, we are currently monitoring the larger industry dynamics and have engaged a leading global commercial real estate company to explore the potential sublease of all or a portion of this facility. Changes in demand, supply, battery cost structure, government incentives, trade tariffs, and other considerations may also influence our decision on the next steps and timing.
Previous report
Abrupt political change, terrorist activity, and armed conflict has had an adverse impact on the global economy and financial markets. Although our business has not been directly impacted by such events, as we have no assets or operations, and we have not purchased materials from Russia, Belarus, Ukraine or the Middle East, it is impossible to predict the extent to which our operations, or those of our customers, suppliers and manufacturers, will be impacted in the short and long term, or the ways in which the conflict may impact our business.

Currently, we believe that we are the only known manufacturer using a 100% silicon anode that is free of any inactive additives. In addition, we believe that we are the leading company in the market that has a high-performance battery that can meet the requirements of aviation and LEV applications. We are not currently producing batteries for EVs. The EV battery industry has a limited number of commercially available batteries that meet the minimum performance specifications. This creates a fast-growing and highly competitive industry for many battery manufacturers to claim market share for commercially acceptable batteries. We believe that there is significant room for improvement in the EV industry in driving range and fast charging capabilities that our silicon technology may address. To compete in the EV industry, we expect that we will need to significantly reduce our manufacturing costs, increase form factors and increase production quantity. One or more of our competitors and potential future entrants may be better capitalized to expand production capacities, have greater resources to commercialize and have greater access to customers in either or both the aviation and EV markets. As such, we may be at a competitive disadvantage and be unable to retain or grow our market share.

Previous wording
As described below, we may receive additional cash if we sell shares of our common stock under the Sales Agreement and if our stock warrants are exercised for cash.
Current wording
As described below, we may receive additional cash if our stock warrants are exercised for cash.
Previous wording
Under the Sales Agreement, we may receive additional cash from the offering and sale of our shares of our common stock with an aggregate offering price of not more than $100.0 million. From the date of the Sales Agreement, the cumulative gross proceeds from the sales of shares of our common stock under the Sales Agreement totaled approximately $79.9 million, offset by related commissions and transaction fees of approximately $2.0 million. As of September 30, 2025, the remaining cash that we could potentially raise under the Sales Agreement was approximately $20.1 million. However, future sales, if any, of shares of common stock under the Sales Agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of our common stock and determinations by us as to appropriate sources of funding for our business and operations. We cannot guarantee the extent to which we may be able to raise funds through the Sales Agreement.
Current wording
As of December 31, 2025, we had completed the sale of shares of our common stock available under the Sales Agreement. The At Market Financing Sales Agreement provided the ability to receive additional cash from the offering and sale of our shares of our common stock with an aggregate offering price of not more than $100.0 million. From the date of the Sales Agreement through December 31, 2025, the cumulative net proceeds from the sales of shares of our common stock under the Sales Agreement totaled $97.5 million. As of December 31, 2025, there is no remaining cash that we could potentially raise under the At Market Financing.
Previous wording
We may also receive additional funds from our outstanding stock warrants if those stock warrants are exercised for cash. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we offered the holders of the public and private warrants the opportunity to exercise, for cash, their warrants at a temporarily reduced exercise price of $1.10 per warrant, and we also made a separate tender offer to the holders of private warrants to exchange their warrants, on a cashless basis, for shares of our common stock. The net proceeds from our cash tender offer, which expired on June 11, 2024, totaled $13.6 million. As of September 30, 2025, we had a total of 16,692,472 public warrants, 300,000 private warrants and 2,052,500 PIPE warrants outstanding. The exercise price of our public warrants and private warrants is $11.50 per warrant, and the exercise price of the PIPE warrants is $12.50 per warrant, although we have, and, in certain cases, together with the warrant agent have, the ability to amend the applicable warrant agreement to reduce the exercise price, including to a price that is below the trading price of our common stock at that time. We believe that the likelihood that warrant holders will exercise the warrants and any cash proceeds that we would receive is dependent upon market conditions.
Current wording
We may also receive additional cash from our outstanding stock warrants if those stock warrants are exercised for cash. As of March 31, 2026, we had a total of 16,481,952 public warrants, 190,000 private warrants and 1,919,800 PIPE warrants outstanding.
