 the construction and development of reactors, other components and raw materials. Tariffs on such components would increase ONE Nuclear’s costs to the extent those components are imported into the United States. While a certain portion of the increased costs may be absorbed by certain suppliers, some suppliers may struggle to absorb the increased costs, especially over the long term, potentially leading to supply disruptions or cost pass-throughs to ONE Nuclear, which may lead to an increase in expenditures. Any shortage, delay or component price change from these suppliers, including as a result of changes in exchange rates, taxes or tariffs, could result in sales and installation delays, cancellations and loss of market share. If there are substantial tariffs imposed by the United States on countries from which ONE Nuclear imports certain key products, ONE Nuclear may not be able to pass the cost through to its customers.

ONE Nuclear cannot predict future trade policy or the terms of any renegotiated trade agreements and their impact on its business. The adoption and expansion of trade restrictions, the occurrence of a trade war, or other governmental action related to tariffs or trade agreements or policies has the potential to adversely impact demand for ONE Nuclear’s products, costs, customers, suppliers, and the United States economy, which in turn could adversely impact its business, financial condition and results of operations. ONE Nuclear’s attempts to mitigate potential disruptions to its supply chain and offset procurement and operational cost pressures, such as through alternative sourcing and/or increases in the selling prices of ONE Nuclear’s products, may not be successful. To the extent that cost increases result in significant increases in expenditures, or if price increases are not sufficient to offset these increased costs adequately or in a timely manner, and/or if revenues decrease, ONE Nuclear’s business, financial condition or operating results may be adversely affected.

Interest rate fluctuations may increase cost of capital and reduce profitability.

ONE Nuclear’s proposed power projects will utilize a mix of fixed and variable rate financing instruments across SPEs. Increases in benchmark interest rates, lender spreads, or risk premiums for long-duration infrastructure projects may increase debt service costs, reduce debt availability, or constrain financial flexibility. Rising rates may also reduce the relative attractiveness of ONE Nuclear’s common equity to yield-seeking investors, limiting the success of this offering or future follow-on financings.

Shifts in federal, state, or local policy may affect permitting, taxation, or infrastructure incentives.

ONE Nuclear’s development strategy is currently supported by a policy environment that encourages energy innovation, U.S.-based manufacturing, and advanced infrastructure deployment. However, changes in political leadership or budget
