NEO BATTERY TO DEVELOP & DEPLOY HIGH-PERFORMANCE BATTERY TECHNOLOGY WITH KOREAN ARMY'S CAPITAL MECHANIZED INFANTRY DIVISION

Neo Battery Materials Ltd. has entered into a defence technology partnership agreement with the Republic of Korea (ROK) Army's Capital Mechanized Infantry Division -- an elite armoured combat unit tasked with defending the capital and conducting counteroffensive missions against North Korean threats.

Through the partnership, Neo and the Capital Mechanized Infantry Division will jointly develop high-energy, high-power battery technologies for military drones and unmanned systems. Subsequently, the Capital Mechanized Infantry Division intends to deploy the company's high-performance batteries directly to the division's drone platforms for operator training and field use. Along with the 12th Infantry Division, this active integration into a mechanized combat environment will impose strenuous, dynamic power requirements on drones and unmanned systems due to rapid manoeuvres and multidomain operations. The company expects to use this field validation to serve as a replicable commercial deployment model for broader ROK Army and allied defence forces.

Major-General Seong-gu Kim, Commander of the Capital Mechanized Infantry Division, commented: "Innovation of South Korea's defence technology is highly dependent on the depth of collaboration between military and domestic industry. With the gradual implementation of autonomous solutions, high-performance, Korea-made batteries are no longer solely a procurement consideration but a national security priority. The Capital Mechanized Infantry Division is pleased to initiate work with Neo Battery to advance this priority through close operational integration."

"With active defence collaboration spanning institutional, infantry and mechanized units, NEO is building a diversified operational presence across multiple unit types and commands," stated Spencer Huh, president and chief executive officer of Neo. "The company will use this multiengagement strategy as groundwork to penetrate battery supply relationships with higher echelons of command in the ROK Army and, ultimately, the Ministry of National Defense. These organizations' procurement decisions will carry broader deployment scale and volume implications for Neo."
