Presentation Focus

Mr. Currie will review the recent commercial and technical momentum of Hillcrest's zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) power conversion technology across four markets. In industrial drives, the Company signed a Letter of Intent with Lenze SE to evaluate ZVS integration into Lenze's high-power industrial inverter platforms0F^[1]. In EV powertrain, a Letter of Intent with Equipmake plc establishes a framework for a jointly funded, milestone-gated joint development program to integrate ZVS into an Equipmake powertrain line1F^[2]. In energy storage and AI data centers, an agreement in principle with AI Hub of Innovation (AHI) provides for a battery energy storage system (BESS) pilot at AHI's Alberta campus, along with access to AHI's data center tenant and vendor network2F^[3]. These agreements are complemented by the Company's recently published white paper on single-stage ZVS architecture for AI data center power conversion3F^[4].

Mr. Currie will also be available for one-on-one meetings with investors and analysts during the conference. Meeting requests can be made through the conference organizers or by contacting Hillcrest Investor Relations at [email protected].

Management Commentary

"In a single month, we opened commercial evaluation pathways with industry partners in industrial drives, EV powertrain and energy storage for AI data centers," said Don Currie, CEO of Hillcrest Energy Technologies. "Cantech gives us the opportunity to walk investors through how those agreements fit together, and how our technical publications support the case for ZVS across each of these markets."
