 will rely on third-party cloud infrastructure providers and Software-as-a-Service platforms to operate and manage core elements of its data, diagnostics, and control environments. Any compromise or service disruption affecting these external providers could impair ONE Nuclear’s visibility into asset performance or interrupt critical operations.

A successful attack on ONE Nuclear’s physical power generation facilities, including nuclear, gas, or infrastructure facilities could result in physical damage, loss of service, ransom demands, data exposure, or regulatory fines. Moreover, nuclear assets are subject to elevated U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (“NRC”) physical security requirements and cybersecurity standards, which imposes specific requirements on digital system integrity. For ONE Nuclear’s nuclear and gas assets, a cyber breach could also raise safety, environmental, or emergency preparedness concerns, potentially triggering regulatory shutdowns, incident investigations, or long-term reputational harm beyond the direct operational impacts. Power and energy infrastructure have been identified as strategic targets for future attacks, and, as such, may face greater risk of disruption or exploitation than other asset classes. In addition, such an incident at any nuclear power facility, globally, may lead to heightened regulatory standards and scrutiny across the entire industry, leading to increased regulatory compliance burdens, loss of revenue, and incidental costs related to the alteration of infrastructure, assets, or systems.

Regarding nuclear assets, ONE Nuclear will be subject to the NRC’s regulations in this area, and for all of its electric generation and related electric infrastructure, ONE Nuclear will be subject to regulation by governmental and regulatory agencies and bodies such as the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”), the Southwest Power Pool (the “SPP”), the Public Utility Commission of Texas (the “PUCT”), the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (“NERC”), and the Midwest Reliability Organization (“MRO”), the violation of which could carry regulatory enforcement action.

While ONE Nuclear expects to implement a comprehensive set of security measures, its operational technology and industrial control systems, and those of its contractors and consultants, may be vulnerable to breakdown or other damage or interruption from service interruptions, system malfunction, natural disasters, terrorism, war and telecommunication and electrical failures, as well as security breaches from inadvertent or intentional actions by its employees, contractors, consultants, business partners, and/or other third parties, or from cyber-attacks by malicious third parties (including the deployment of harmful malware, ransomware, denial-of-service attacks, social engineering and other means to affect service reliability and threaten the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information), which may compromise ONE Nuclear’s system infrastructure or
