(NASDAQ: NKLR), developer of the SOLO\u2122 Micro-Modular Reactor, and Mersen (Euronext FR0000039620 \u2013 MRN), a global expert in electrical power and advanced materials, today announced the successful production of a graphite reactor core prototype marking an important step in manufacturing readiness for its FOAK reactor deployment. The milestone highlights the companies\u2019 collaboration in advancing next-generation nuclear technologies. It demonstrates also Terra Innovatum\u2019s progress in converting supply chain preparation into manufacturing execution as it advances toward FOAK deployment and NOAK commercialization.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n        \n      <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This advance marks an important step in our transition from supply chain readiness to manufacturing execution,\u201d said Alessandro Petruzzi, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Terra Innovatum. \u201cThe successful production of the graphite reactor core prototype, achieved with Mersen, demonstrates our ability to secure and process the nuclear-grade materials essential to SOLO\u2122 FOAK deployment. Just as importantly, it reinforces the industrial foundation needed to scale from first deployment to repeatable NOAK manufacturing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The development of this graphite engineering prototype represents a meaningful technical milestone in the realization of the SOLO\u2122 reactor core,\u201d said Marco Cherubini, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Terra Innovatum. \u201cThese components are designed to host critical systems and core elements that influence thermal performance, and overall system reliability. This work also establishes the procedures and quality standards required for repeatable manufacturing and scalable deployment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Luc Themelin, Chief Executive Officer Mersen stated: \u201cWe are proud to contribute our materials expertise as a partner in advancing a new generation of advanced nuclear solutions, which will play an important role in delivering reliable and low-carbon energy. This collaboration reflects the growing role of advanced materials in enabling these technologies, as well as our ability to identify and support emerging growth drivers such as nuclear for the Group.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This milestone builds on Terra Innovatum\u2019s previously announced agreement with Mersen securing nuclear-grade graphite and procurement of critical materials required for SOLO\u2122 FOAK deployment targeted for 2027 and NOAK commercialization beginning in 2028.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>ABOUT MERSEN<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Mersen is a global industrial group and a recognized expert in advanced materials. The world\u2019s leading producer of isostatic graphite, Mersen develops customized, application-specific solutions for highly demanding sectors, including nuclear.

We deliver simple and safe micro-reactor solutions that are scalable, affordable and deployable anywhere 1 MWe at a time.<\/p>\n<p>Terra Innovatum is a pioneering force in the energy sector, dedicated to delivering innovative and sustainable power solutions. Terra Innovatum plans to leverage cutting-edge nuclear technology through the SOLO\u2122 Micro-Modular Reactor (SMR\u2122) to provide efficient, safe, and environmentally conscious energy. With a mission to address global energy shortages, Terra Innovatum combines extensive expertise in nuclear industry design, manufacturing, and installation licensing to offer disruptive energy solutions. Committed to propelling technological advancements, Terra Innovatum and SOLO\u2122 are dedicated to fostering prosperity and sustainability for humankind.<\/p>\n<p>It is anticipated that SOLO\u2122 will be available globally within the next three years. Conceptualized in 2018 and engineered over six years by experts in nuclear safety, licensing, innovation, and R&amp;D, SOLO\u2122 addresses pressing global energy demands with a market-ready solution. Built from readily available commercial off-the-shelf components, the proven licensing path for SOLO\u2122 enables rapid deployment and minimizes supply chain risks, ensuring final cost predictability. Designed to adapt with evolving fuel options, SOLO\u2122 supports both LEU+ and HALEU, offering a platform ready to transition to future fuel supplies.<\/p>\n<p>SOLO\u2122 will offer a wide range of versatile applications, providing CO2-free, behind-the-meter, and off-grid power solutions for data centers, mini-grids serving remote towns and villages, and large-scale industrial operations in hard-to-abate sectors like cement production, oil and gas, steel manufacturing, and mining. It also has the ability to supply heat for industrial applications and other specialized processes, including water treatment, desalination and co-generation. Thanks to its modular design, SOLO\u2122 can easily scale to deliver up to 1GW or more of CO2-free power with a minimal footprint, making it an ideal solution for rapidly replacing fossil fuel-based thermal plants. Beyond electricity and heat generation, SOLO\u2122 can also contribute to critical applications in the medical sector by producing radioisotopes essential for oncology research and cancer treatment.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more, visit:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=u7ZxrWZCdhi10gDPzTR44IqQxlg8cYp5JAWfzPofFE2u6NyOd68Y-NtFd6EGd7MYRYOTWGswtIC2ZbgMZNhOz_EkMvrhEgEMHe4bhiFTZMBVyLlPzyxj-8rdwAN9szL2Rm0UZrmjDMHQre9JmAuwmjD-Pu8lzQopNBSc1vgVNHA9mI7pQYZqAFu7_Z1j0OKId4GxReQtSr_Tiy4dPzApQawbWlERiIbEIyoz0G5koCrGAdTyWDlBMVR7jiDJDwC8qFKEAflz6SqI-WMrt4VlIrAYDM7jUySMVonyeR9YGPWTpR4ZbeLAPkslWtu2_JsQsJwfpVfB_0Ggr4GJ1wChMeCIaLVb6aE0B5wXV_5b1Qw=\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/investors.terrainnovatum.com\/<\/a>.

Instead, they are based only on current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of Terra Innovatum\u2019s business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of Terra Innovatum\u2019s control. These uncertainties and risks may be known or unknown. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to Terra Innovatum; future global, regional or local economic and market conditions; the development, effects and enforcement of laws and regulations; Terra Innovatum\u2019s ability to manage future growth; Terra Innovatum\u2019s ability to develop new products and services, bring them to market in a timely manner, and make enhancements to its platform; the effects of competition on Terra Innovatum\u2019s future business; and the outcome of any potential litigation, government and regulatory proceedings, investigations and inquiries and other risks and uncertainties described under the heading \u201cRisk Factors\u201d in documents Terra Innovatum files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If any of these risks materialize or the Terra Innovatum\u2019s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by the forward-looking statements contained herein. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Terra Innovatum\u2019s expectations and views as of the date of this presentation. Terra Innovatum anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause its assessments to change. However, while Terra Innovatum may elect to update these forward-looking statements in the future, each of them specifically disclaims any obligation to do so.
