Directors Mr Kobi Ben-Shabat Mr David Wheeler Mr Doron Nevo Mr Yuri Nehushtan Mr John Paitaridis
UltraCharge has signed a non-binding letter of intent (LoI) with Israel-based Aeronautics Ltd, one of the world’s leading specialist manufacturers of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), commonly known as drones, for military and civilian use.
Mr John Paitaridis Under the LoI, Aeronautics will cooperate with UltraCharge for the design, development and production of advanced battery solutions specifically for UAV use. UltraCharge’s focus will be on the development of its high-voltage LNMO prototype battery in ASX Code : accordance with Aeronautics’ required specifications and performance needs. In the UTR event a prototype is delivered meeting agreed specifications, Aeronautics and UltraCharge will pursue an on-going business relationship together, whereby Shares : Aeronautics may purchase from UltraCharge battery solutions for UAVs and other 576,933,417 relevant systems manufactured by Aeronautics. Escrow Shares: 173,668,217 Since this announcement we have seen enquiries from other UAV & Drone companies to provide them with battery solutions for a similar type of application. Options (various) : 124,000,000 The Drones & UAV market was valued at USD$18.14 billion in 2017 and is projected to reach USD$52.30 billion by 2025. The growing demand provides a great opportunity for Performance Rights: UltraCharge’s new LNMO battery that has the high voltage and high power capabilities 27,375,000 and is cobalt free. Upscaling Anode Production for existing and new customers
The Company announced the arrival of a new 55 litre reactor that will allow the upscaling of the production of its anode material. The new 55L reactor will allow an increase to production capacity by a factor of 25 times. This is an important step providing the Company additional capacity to meet demand from existing and new customers.
Joint Development Project with Chemours to enhance the development of its Titanium Dioxide Anode Material
The project with Chemours (NYSE:CC), a global leader in titanium dioxide technology, to scale-up production of anode sample material for UltraCharge’s current and new customers is on track. The companies are working together to develop a more cost-effective process for producing the anode material.
Corporate
UltraCharge has a cash balance of US $1.5 million as at 31 March 2018.
Kobi Ben-Shabat, CEO said “UltraCharge is ready for production of our cobalt free lithium ion battery offering. This is very exciting for our shareholders as we have also secured global partners that have the capacity to develop and commercially produce our technology solutions. UltraCharge is now in a unique position to deliver our technology to the mass market and tailor solutions for specific market requirements”.
“UltraCharge is poised to take advantage of the battery market as growth continues to explode as governments push to reduce carbon emissions from fossil fuels. UltraCharge is looking forward to updating the market on the progress of our multiple partnerships and new opportunities as we move towards commercialization this year.
