Terra Innovatum Global N.V. and Mersen Achieve Graphite Prototype Manufacturing and Validation Milestone to Support First Deployment of Solo Micro-Reactor Terra Innovatum Global N.V. and Mersen announced the successful production of a graphite reactor core prototype marking an important step in manufacturing readiness for its FOAK reactor deployment. The milestone highlights the companies’ collaboration in advancing next-generation nuclear technologies. It demonstrates also Terra Innovatum’s progress in converting supply chain preparation into manufacturing execution as it advances toward FOAK deployment and NOAK commercialization. The milestone builds on Terra Innovatum’s previously announced agreement with Mersen securing nuclear-grade graphite and procurement of critical materials required for SOLO FOAK deployment targeted for 2027 and NOAK commercialization beginning in 2028. Leveraging Mersen’s expertise in nuclear-grade materials, the companies successfully produced a graphite prototype (i.e. an engineering prototype) to support SOLO FOAK development. The graphite engineering prototype has been successfully manufactured to required tolerances, validating reactor system integration and readiness for scalable, serialized production. The development of this graphite engineering prototype represents a meaningful technical milestone in the realization of the SOLO reactor core. These components are designed to host critical systems and core elements that influence thermal performance, and overall system reliability. This work also establishes the procedures and quality standards required for repeatable manufacturing and scalable deployment. SOLO will offer a wide range of versatile applications, providing CO2-free, behind-the-meter, and off-grid power solutions for data centers, mini-grids serving remote towns and villages, and large-scale industrial operations in hard-to-abate sectors like cement production, oil and gas, steel manufacturing, and mining. It also has the ability to supply heat for industrial applications and other specialized processes, including water treatment, desalination and co-generation. Thanks to its modular design, SOLO can easily scale to deliver up to 1GW or more of CO2-free power with a minimal footprint, making it an ideal solution for rapidly replacing fossil fuel-based thermal plants. Beyond electricity and heat generation, SOLO can also contribute to critical applications in the medical sector by producing radioisotopes essential for oncology research and cancer treatment.

New Risk • Jul 28
New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 17% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings.
