FAE TECHNOLOGY: KAYSER ITALIA SIGNS STRATEGIC AGREEMENT WITH ORBITAL PARADIGM TO PARTICIPATE IN ORBITAL MISSION "LEARN TO FLY", DEDICATED TO ADVANCED SERVICES IN MICROGRAVITY

Scheduled for April 2027, the payload will focus on the use of reentry platforms and is part of the evolution toward commercial models for low orbit, which goes beyond the International Space Station

Gazzaniga (BG), April 9, 2026 — FAE Technology S.p.A. - Benefit Company ("FAE Technology" or the "Company"), Tech company and parent of the Italian advanced electronics and space technology solutions sector Group of the same name (the "Group"), announces the signing by its subsidiary Kayser Italia of an agreement with Orbital Paradigm, which specializes in the development of space transportation solutions based on launch cycles, in-orbit operations, reentry and system reuse. The strategic collaboration includes participation in the orbital mission "Learn to Fly", scheduled for April 2027 as part of the development of advanced services for microgravity applications.

The payload will focus on the development of new technologies, with an emphasis on the use of reentry platforms, which enable the recovery of samples and results of on-orbit activities to the ground. These solutions are part of the gradual evolution toward commercial models geared toward the management and utilization of low Earth orbit, also with a view to overcoming the current paradigm related to the International Space Station. In addition, the collaboration enhances an all-European synergy, helping to strengthen the role of the continent's operators in developing services along the Space Economy value chain.

David Zolesi, Chief Executive Officer of Kayser Italia and Director of the Space Division of the FAE Technology Group, states: "The agreement with Orbital Paradigm enhances the expertise developed by Kayser Italia in the space sector, supporting its application in the development of commercial solutions for low Earth orbit. Participation in the mission also contributes to the evolution of operational models in the post-International Space Station environment. Our ability to manage the entire payload lifecycle, from launch to return, positions us as a strategic partner within a European space economy that requires rapid execution and reliable scientific outcomes. This synergy further supports our path toward a scalable, high-value business model."

Gianmarco Lanza, Chairperson of Kayser Italia, and Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer of FAE Technology, stated: "We are pleased with this first milestone achieved by Kayser Italia within the FAE Technology Group, which represents an important step in an already established path,

with further developments expected. Microgravity research is one of the contributions that our Group is now able to offer within the space sector, expanding the scope of its expertise and solutions. In this context, the synergy between Kayser Italia's know-how and that of the entire Group represents a tangible competitive advantage, capable of accelerating the development of new activities and operational models in low Earth orbit."

Francesco Cacciatore, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer of Orbital paradigm, added: "We're proud to have Kayser Italia on Learn to Fly. They have been operating experiment hardware in orbit since the ISS began. Having them on our upcoming mission means we're building a spacecraft that meets the standards of people who've actually done this work for more than two decades".

Orbital Paradigm

Orbital Paradigm is a Madrid-based space-transportation company founded in 2023. It develops reusable in-space transport vehicles capable of returning to Earth. As first application, the company ships sensitive materials to space and returns zero-gravity experiments and manufactured products to the industries that need them. It launched its first capsule, KID, in January 2026, with a second mission planned for early 2027. These flights support the development of Kestrel, the company's reusable return capsule designed to reach up to monthly operations in the early 2030s.
