Volt Secures $1.3M Wescone Claim Settlement

Volt Power Group Limited (Volt or Company) advises that it has reached a commercial settlement of all outstanding claims alleged in the Proceedings in connection with the 2018 acquisition of Volt’s Wescone business with all vendor parties (Wescone Vendor) without admission of liability by either party.

The settlement terms are confidential but provide for the payment to Volt of $1.3 million in two instalments (Settlement Sum).

The first instalment in the amount of $1 million will be paid to Volt by 16 February 2021. The second and final instalment will be paid no later than 19 August 2021. The Wescone Vendor has granted a security over two commercial properties to secure the second instalment.

The settlement arrangements also provide for the termination of a royalty agreement pursuant to which the Wescone Vendor was entitled to royalty payments above a specific revenue threshold.

Volt Power Group Limited (ASX: VPR) is a transitioning power generation and infrastructure asset / equipment developer and owner. The Company’s businesses commercialise innovative proprietary equipment delivering “step change” client productivity and cost benefits achieving annuity earnings for the Company.

Business Activity Summary

These activities of our businesses include:

  • ATEN (100%) – ATEN is a zero-emission waste heat to electricity generation equipment solution. The ATEN is at an advanced stage of initial commercialisation (Patent Pending). Refer below;

  • Wescone (100%) – the proprietary owner of the globally unique Wescone W300 sample crusher predominantly deployed throughout the global iron ore sector. Wescone has a successful 25+ year operating track record and recently developed a new crusher with larger dimensional acceptance, reduction ratio and durability specifications;

  • EcoQuip (~67%) – a developer and owner of a ‘best in class’ Mobile Solar Lighting & Communications Tower equipment solution incorporating robust design attributes including US military spec design & build quality, solar / lithium (LFP) battery and storage solution and advanced power management, data telemetry & control system capable of LED lighting, LTE Wi-Fi mesh repeater, point to point microwave, environmental monitoring and CCTV technology retro-fit; and

  • Acquisition / Development Strategy – The Company actively pursues opportunities to expand its broader renewable and low emission power generation and infrastructure asset / equipment and project delivery capability footprint.

About the ATEN Technology (Patent Pending): The ATEN comprises a modular, power generation equipment package capable of harvesting ‘low’ grade industrial waste heat to generate zero emission baseload electricity.

ATEN generated electricity is expected to significantly reduce ‘energy intensive’ industry operating costs via the displacement of grid sourced electricity or fossil fuel usage associated with electricity generation.

The global industrial complex vents a significant quantity of ‘low’ grade waste heat to atmosphere. This quantity of unexploited waste heat presents an outstanding opportunity for the commercial roll-out of the ATEN Technology.

The ATEN’s simple, high efficiency design and modular configuration - developed to maximise its integration capability - provides a low capex, uniquely compatible and scalable solution for the exploitation of ‘low grade’ industrial waste heat from multiple sources. Volt’s priority target markets for the commercialization of the ATEN Technology include the resources and industrial processing sectors.

The salient ATEN Waste Heat to Power technology benefits that resonate with power station owners include:

  • Baseload, zero emission incremental power generation (Scope 1 Emission reduction);

  • Levelised Cost of Electricity (LCOE)* up to ~40% lower than gas and ~80% lower than diesel generation;

  • LCOE* ~25% - 55% lower than Solar / LFP Battery installations based on identical annual generation and zero emission performance;

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT (CONTINUED)

==> picture [98 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

  • CAPEX ~60% lower than Solar / LFP Battery installations based on identical annual generation and zero emission performance;

  • Zero cost compatibility with Solar and Hydrogen fuel transition solutions;

  • Carbon Credits (CFI) Act 2011 Offset Project / ACCU eligibility; and

  • Zero water & operational personnel requirements

*** Levelised Cost of Energy (LCOE) is based on new zero emission capacity and variable costs of hydrocarbon fuelled generation (where relevant) using the ARENA LCOE calculation methodology @ 8% discount rate and 20-year project life including ACCUs ($13/ACCU) and RECs ($30/REC) as applicable.**
