 with demand aggregation, energy marketing, trading, structuring and offtake expertise. This partnership enhances ONE’s ability to contract with high-value customers, optimize power sales, structure long-term PPAs, manage market exposure, and coordinate development of dedicated, behind-the-meter or near-the-meter solutions. The involvement of a global energy major also enhances ONE’s financial credibility and execution certainty with counterparties, customers, and capital providers.

Strategic Relationships Enhancing Delivery, Execution and Financeability

Beyond ONE Nuclear’s global energy company relationship, the Company maintains relationships with leading EPC and program management firms, including Black & Veatch and FutureWorx, that we believe strengthens delivery capability, schedule certainty and supply-chain depth across both the gas and SMR phases. These relationships reinforce project financeability and help ensure execution reliability across multiple sites.

Development Plan

Phase 1 – Site Acquisition and Development (2025 – 2028)

ONE Nuclear’s mission is to deliver a fully integrated “develop–own–operate” platform for utility-scale natural-gas and advanced nuclear generation. At the foundation of ONE’s model is a disciplined approach to site selection and control. ONE Nuclear evaluates candidate locations against stringent criteria, including contiguous acreage capable of supporting multi-gigawatt development, proximity to high-pressure natural-gas pipelines, access to sufficient water resources, robust transmission interconnection options, and adjacency to large-scale data centers, hydrogen, and industrial load centers. Securing long-term site control early in the process will enable the Company to advance engineering concurrently with customer engagement, creating a repeatable framework for scaling ONE’s energy-parks.

Phase 2: Natural Gas as a Near-Term Bridge to Nuclear Deployment (2027 – 2034)

To address the acute power shortages facing hyperscalers today, ONE Nuclear will initially deploy high-efficiency natural gas generation assets. The Company has established a strategic relationship with Rolls-Royce S.A. to secure access to reciprocating internal combustion engine (“RICE”) gen-sets, which offer a number of advantages:

| ● | Rapid                                                                                         
 Deployment: Unlike large Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (“CCGT”) plants,                          
 which require massive civil works and 3-4 year construction timelines, modular RICE units     
 can be delivered and installed in under 12-18 months. This allows ONE Nuclear to target first 
 revenue generation as early as the fourth quarter of 2027.                                    |
