Continuing discussions with other Tier 1 cell manufacturers and OEMs expected to lead to additional contracted volumes of synthetic graphite with a target of 150K+ tpa

  1. Contracted volumes shown require product qualification and growth dependent on customer plans and capital availability. NVX will add production lines at facilities to generally align with contracted volumes

  2. The volumes shown are management’s annual estimates of the offtakes for Stellantis, PowerCo and Panasonic, including the assumption that Panasonic contract is renewed past 2028

  3. Agreements require final product qualification. The Company also had a supply agreement with KORE Power to support its proposed KOREplex facility in Arizona, but, because KORE Power has cancelled the construction of the KOREplex facility, NOVONIX has eliminated any associated volumes.
