Since GMG’s market update on May 11, 2021 (“GMG Graphene Aluminum-Ion Battery Performance Data‘), The company appointed director Robbert de Weijer as the director of the G + AI battery project and tasked the company’s chief technology officer and graphene project leader with prioritizing the technical advancement of the G + AI battery. In addition, the company’s new COO and operations team are prioritizing the production of the particular graphene needed for the production of G + AI batteries.

These measures reflect GMG’s determination to respond positively to the many encouraging and varied requests the company has received regarding the technical and commercial application of G + AI batteries.

Several parties noted, inter alia, the potential high power density of graphene aluminum-ion batteries which allows faster charging; aluminum-ion graphene batteries are expected to be more environmentally friendly and can be produced without lithium and rare earths; that the performance of these batteries should be safer, with a much lower risk of fire; and finally that aluminum-ion graphene batteries should not require the complexity and weight of cooling systems required by lithium-ion battery technology. The Company is encouraged by this initial interest and will continue to provide regular updates regarding the performance and development of its graphene aluminum-ion batteries as research and development and commercial programs progress.

GMG is in the process of signing non-disclosure agreements with certain parties to allow confidential exchange of information as part of the assessment of a potential commercial relationship between the parties.
