February Multi-City Investor Roadshow

Helio announced a multi-city investor roadshow across Dallas, Houston, Tampa, and Sarasota, providing qualified investors with direct access to management and detailed discussion of the Company's long-term SBSP roadmap, capital strategy, and commercialization plans.

NASA SBIR Phase II QSRM Program Progress

Helio reported continued advancement under its NASA Phase II SBIR award supporting development of its QuasiStatic Release Mechanism (QSRM), a next-generation space deployment device designed for low-shock separation. Upcoming validation testing is intended to support readiness for potential commercial and government flight applications.

Lead Systems Engineer Appointed for SBSP

Helio announced the appointment of Oliver Fildes as Lead Systems Engineer for Space-Based Solar Power. Mr. Fildes brings more than 15 years of aerospace engineering experience, including work on NASA-associated programs, and will lead systems integration, operational execution, and technical validation across Helio's SBSP architecture.

Global SBSP Momentum

Helio commented on accelerating international momentum around SBSP, citing developments across China, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the U.S. commercial launch sector as validation of the economic and strategic viability of orbital energy infrastructure.

Management believes declining launch costs, systems engineering advances, and rising global energy demand are aligning to support long-term SBSP commercialization. Helio continues to focus on applying its aerospace heritage and space-qualified hardware expertise to scalable energy infrastructure solutions designed to generate long-term shareholder value.

"Across our engineering programs, SBSP systems, and investor engagement, we are executing against a long-term growth platform," said Ed Cabrera, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Helio Corporation. "We believe sustained technical progress and market validation position Helio to dominate the emerging space-based energy sector while prioritizing long-term shareholder value."
