Forge Nano (NANO) Corporate presentation summary

Technology platform

• Atomic Armor uses atomic-scale surface engineering to improve materials across energy, defense, aerospace and semiconductors.

• The platform spans U.S.-made lithium-ion cells, coating materials and high-throughput ALD equipment for next-generation chip manufacturing.

• Battery benefits highlighted include greater energy, longer operating and shelf life, resilience and a U.S. supply chain.

U.S. battery supply and policy

• Starting in 2028, Department of War procurement rules require advanced batteries with products and technology owned, manufactured, sourced and refined outside China and other foreign entities of concern.

• The presentation cites 80% of lithium-ion production in China versus 7% in the U.S., framing foreign dependence as a risk to mission readiness and supply assurance.

Samsung SDI partnership and project funding

• Samsung SDI committed $20M and will assist construction and ramp-up of a 3.0 GWh/year gigafactory; its manufacturing experience and operability guarantee are presented as de-risking factors.

• The facility is planned to make Samsung SDI cells and proprietary Atomic Armor cells; Samsung SDI supply-chain pricing is expected to lower input costs and support margin expansion as output scales.

• Financing figures shown include a $100M DOE grant secured, $60M landlord tenant-improvement funding and a $275M project-financing term sheet.

• Planned capacity is 150M cells/year and 3.0 GWh/year.
