Accelerated expansion into sodium-ion batteries driven by intense demand from AI infrastructure and data center markets, which management describes as unlike anything in the company's history.

Developed early-stage sodium-ion opportunities approaching $1 billion within months of announcing the Alsym Energy supply agreement, reflecting a high velocity of market interest.

Streamlined Wilsonville operations to reduce cash burn and reallocate capital toward sodium-ion solutions that offer greater near-term revenue potential than legacy iron flow systems.

Positioned sodium-ion as a critical solution for AI data centers due to its wide operating temperature range, which handles GPU-driven power spikes better than lithium-ion chemistries.

Maintained disciplined capital focus by repaying $37 million of a $40 million promissory note with Yorkville to deleverage the balance sheet during the strategic transition.

Transitioned to a dual-platform strategy where the new Bridge system serves short-to-medium duration needs while the Energy Base platform remains the flagship for long-duration storage.

Targeting the first full-scale Bridge modular system to be operational in-house toward the end of 2026, following the commencement of module-level testing in August.

Expects to announce a definitive agreement for a proposed business combination by the end of September 2026, with a target close by year-end.

Anticipates commercial operation of a 10-megawatt/80-megawatt hour project for a major California utility in 2027 through the Juniper Energy partnership.

Assumes the Alsym Energy LOI for 8.5 gigawatt hours of cells will provide a tariff-free, U.S.-made supply chain to capture domestic tax credits.

Actively pursuing additional financing alternatives to address substantial doubt regarding the company's ability to continue as a going concern given the $5.6 million cash position as of July 31, 2026.

Proposed business combination implies a $515 million enterprise value, with ESS stockholders expected to own 5% to 10% of the combined entity.

Reported a $1.5 million legal contingency accrual in Q2, which management characterized as a largely non-recurring item impacting G&A expenses.

Recorded $4.3 million in asset abandonment charges during the first half of 2026, reflecting the footprint rationalization and streamlining of Wilsonville operations.

Management issued a 'going concern' warning, noting that while expenses have been reduced, the company requires near-term capital to support commercialization.

Management expects to be self-funded in the near future through reduced cash burn and the near-total repayment of the Yorkville promissory note.

The company confirmed that a definitive agreement for the proposed combination is expected in the coming weeks, while they remain self-funded in the near term through reduced expenses and cash burn.

Sodium-ion is structurally advantaged in urban settings due to non-flammable chemistry, lack of thermal runaway, and quieter operation without complex HVAC systems.

The technology specifically addresses 'micro cycling' degradation caused by GPU clusters in AI data centers, a pain point lithium-ion struggles to manage.

Management clarified that the current high cost of revenue relative to sales is due to fixed manufacturing overhead and underutilized capacity at Wilsonville.

Stated that current results are not a read on future unit economics, as the Bridge platform is designed for lower fixed capacity intensity.
