 with Multiple Nuclear Technology Providers

As part of ONE Nuclear’s long-term nuclear deployment strategy, it is building and maintaining relationships with a diversified set of nuclear technology providers. ONE Nuclear believes that engaging with multiple reactor developers enhances its ability to evaluate technological readiness, align deployment timelines with customer demand, and mitigate vendor and supply-chain concentration risks. ONE Nuclear is conducting parallel assessments of reactor designs, fuel strategies, manufacturing capabilities, and regulatory progress across both established and emerging SMR platforms.

Developing these relationships early supports informed vendor selection, strengthens ONE’s negotiating position, and provides optionality as the U.S. nuclear market matures. In addition, maintaining engagement with multiple technology providers enables ONE to match specific technologies to site characteristics, customer requirements, and regional regulatory frameworks. ONE Nuclear believes that this multi-vendor approach will position the Company to accelerate nuclear deployment at scale, improve long-term cost competitiveness, and ensure that ONE’s energy-park platform remains flexible as next-generation nuclear technologies reach commercialization.

Enhance Development Pipeline and Site Control

ONE Nuclear is building a growing pipeline of development opportunities across the United States, with more than 75 additional locations identified through its national screening program. This pipeline represents an estimated 15 GW of natural-gas and nuclear development potential. As ONE Nuclear progresses its anchor projects, it intends to convert additional sites into full development assets, providing scheduling flexibility and geographic diversification to meet customer timelines and regional load growth.

Strengthen Regulatory, Licensing, and Technology Positioning

A core component of ONE Nuclear’s strategy is preparing its sites and commercial structure for staged nuclear deployment. ONE Nuclear is advancing technology evaluation, site suitability work, preliminary safety analysis, and early engagement with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and state regulators. ONE’s goal is to establish clear licensing pathways that will allow commercial arrangements to evolve from gas-only or hybrid solutions into full nuclear energy parks over time. ONE Nuclear believes that successfully navigating licensing processes and vendor selection early will provide a competitive advantage as SMR technologies begin commercial rollout.

Build Long-Term Customer Partnerships with High-Growth Load Sectors

ONE Nuclear expects demand for firm, scalable power to grow substantially, driven by AI and cloud data centers, hydrogen production, industrial reshoring, and other energy-intensive sectors. ONE’s strategy is to work directly with customers to align power delivery schedules, commercial structures and long-term offtake arrangements. ONE Nuclear believes that its phased development model, rapid initial gas deployment followed by nuclear expansion, will allow the Company to meet customers at their operational timelines while offering a
