Matthews International Announces Positive Ruling in Arbitration with Tesla Matthews International Corporation provided an update on the ongoing business dispute involving Tesla. On February 5, 2025, an arbitrator issued a decision on an arbitration demand filed by Matthews against Tesla in January 2024. This ruling acknowledged Matthews’ extensive, pre-Tesla background in manufacturing advanced Dry Battery Electrode (“DBE”) technology and affirmed that the Company has the right to sell its solutions to customers other than Tesla. Matthews intends to immediately resume marketing, selling and delivering its DBE products to other customers in the growing electric vehicle market, where battery and automobile equipment manufacturers from around the world seek to adopt Matthews’ innovative solutions. On November 5, 2024, Matthews was awarded U.S. Patent No. 12,136,727 B2 entitled Systems for Manufacturing a Dry Electrode, and Matthews expects this foundational work to lead to further innovations and developments to support the expanding DBE industry. After exhausting efforts to negotiate a resolution to a dispute with its DBE customer Tesla that arose over a year ago, Matthews was forced to seek a declaratory judgment in a binding arbitration regarding Matthews’ rights to continue selling its innovative DBE solutions to others. While this arbitration was ongoing, Tesla initiated duplicative litigation in federal court, vaguely alleging that Matthews had stolen Tesla’s trade secrets, notwithstanding its agreement to arbitrate all such disputes. Given Tesla’s decision to file a public action against Matthews in June of 2024 and in light of the importance of the arbitrator’s ruling, Matthews is compelled to update the market on this matter.

Matthews International Corporation Refutes Tesla Allegations Matthews International Corporation announced on June 14, 2024, Tesla filed a complaint in Federal District Court in the Northern District of California. The claims stated in this threadbare complaint are utterly without merit and it intend to vigorously defend the matter. Notably, the complaint vaguely references trade secrets, but fails to identify even one trade secret that Tesla purportedly disclosed to Matthews. The company is continuing to evaluate this complaint and may pursue legal remedies. Contrary to the allegations in the complaint, Tesla’s lawsuit is simply a new tactic in their ongoing efforts to bully Matthews and improperly take Matthews’ valuable intellectual property. Furthermore, Tesla’s complaint attempts to restrict the company from offering its innovative solutions to others, preventing the market from significantly benefiting from the savings associated with its dry battery electrode (DBE) solutions, and thus interfering with Matthews’ ability to realize the value of its intellectual property.
