CERENERGY® PROJECT DISCONTINUED Altech announce d on 31 July 202 6 that it made the decision to discontinue its CERENERGY ® project located in Saxony, Germany. The Board of Directors assessed the project in detail and went through a partner search program with some intense discussions especially with a European industrial conglomerate that had been ongoing for over nine months. These discussions were terminated. Given that the strategic partner program did not lead to the sought-after result, the Board determined that the likelihood of the project being successfully funded and getting into operations was so low, that it d id not justify incurring further operating costs and decided to discontinue the CERENERGY® project. Altech Batteries GmbH (“ABG”), the owner of all assets related to the CERENERGY ® project, is being unwound. Ultimately, the assets are to be liquidated, and the net proceeds, after all creditor claims and costs have been settled, will be distributed to its shareholders. ALTECH BATTERIES GMBH FILED FOR INSOLVENCY On 10 August 2026 Altech then advised that ABG had filed for insolvency in Germany. This was after Fraunhofer advised the Board that it was not prepared to waive its claims against ABG for outstanding liabilities, which was a pre -requisite for a solvent liquidation. After carefully weighing ATC’s economic interests, the Board concluded that further financing of Altech Batteries GmbH was not economically justifiable. Against this background, the Board resolved that the Company w ould not provide ABG with any further funds, neither directly or indirectly via the intermediate holding company, nor in any other manner. This included shareholder loans, intragroup advances, equity injections, capital contributions, or other payments in favour of ABG. This decision was based on an independent business and economic assessment by Altech Batteries Ltd. The Board makes no determinations regarding the legal consequences of the decision for Altech Batteries GmbH. Altech, as the parent company, does not anticipate receiving any proceeds from the closure of ABG. However, the closure of ABG will provide cost reductions to the Company. Altech will focus on monetisation of its current assets whilst in parallel be looking for interesting project to pursue.
