Dr. Vikas Berry reports

ARGO GRAPHENE SOLUTIONS APPOINTS DR. VIKAS BERRY AS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Argo Graphene Solutions Corp. has appointed Dr. Vikas Berry as chief executive officer of the company.

Dr. Berry succeeds Sean McAlpine, who has served as interim chief executive officer since June, 2026. Mr. McAlpine remains a director of the company and continues to play an important role supporting Argo's strategic growth initiatives.

Dr. Berry's appointment marks a defining milestone in Argo's evolution as the company aims to advance from technology acquisition to commercialization. As the inventor of the proprietary Stream graphene production platform, he is uniquely qualified to lead Argo as it works toward executing its strategy to commercialize the technology under the company's previously announced exclusive worldwide licence agreement, which includes a pathway to full ownership of the Stream technology and related intellectual property upon satisfaction of the agreed consideration provisions.

Leadership transition

Following a review of potential executive candidates, the board concluded that the individual best positioned to lead Argo's next phase of growth was the inventor of the company's licensed Stream technology. Mr. McAlpine, who has served as interim chief executive officer since the closing of the company's previously announced exclusive worldwide licence agreement with Grapherry Inc., continues to serve as a director of the company.

Mr. McAlpine stated: "Dr. Berry combines world-class scientific expertise with a deep understanding of commercial product development and industrial manufacturing. His decision to lead Argo demonstrates his belief in both the Stream technology and our vision of building a leading graphene commercialization company. We are delighted to welcome Vikas as our chief executive officer."

A visionary leader for graphene commercialization

Dr. Berry is an internationally recognized graphene scientist, inventor, entrepreneur and founder of Grapherry, where he developed the proprietary Stream graphene production platform. Over the past two decades, his work has focused on solving one of the graphene industry's greatest challenges, developing scalable, cost-effective manufacturing technologies designed to advance graphene from scientific research into real-world industrial applications.

Dr. Berry is committed to progressing the Stream platform toward commercialization and executing a vision of building a vertically integrated graphene production and commercialization company serving multiple global industries.

Dr. Berry stated: "I am honoured and humbled to be entrusted with leading Argo during such an exciting period in the company's evolution. The opportunity to lead the commercialization of the Stream technology and translate years of research into real-world industrial applications alongside the talented team at Argo made the decision to accept this position an easy one. Together, we are aiming to build a vertically integrated graphene company focused on delivering scalable solutions across multiple high-growth industries, including energy storage, semiconductors, artificial intelligence infrastructure, construction, agriculture and advanced manufacturing. I look forward to working with our board, our employees, our partners and our shareholders as we work to establish Argo as a leading graphene manufacturing and commercialization company."

Advancing Argo's commercialization strategy

The successful cement testing recently announced by the company represents an important early validation of the proprietary Stream graphene production platform, demonstrating its ability to deliver measurable performance improvements in commercially relevant applications.

While construction materials represent one of several significant commercialization opportunities, Argo's strategy extends well beyond a single industry. The company is actively evaluating and advancing graphene-enabled technologies across multiple high-growth markets, including energy storage, advanced battery technologies, artificial intelligence infrastructure, data centres, semiconductors, advanced electronics, agriculture, coatings, composites and industrial manufacturing.

Global demand for next-generation materials continues to accelerate as industries seek lighter, stronger, more conductive and more sustainable solutions. Management believes that graphene has the potential to become an enabling material across many of these markets and that the proprietary Stream platform provides the technological foundation to support scalable commercial production.

As the company continues to expand its research, product development, strategic partnerships and commercial validation programs, Argo's objective remains clear: to become a leading North American graphene producer and commercialization company serving multiple industrial sectors through a diversified portfolio of graphene-enabled solutions.
