NANO ONE APPOINTS JASON ZANDBERG AS DIRECTOR OF CAPITAL MARKETS

Nano One Materials Corp. has appointed Jason Zandberg, CFA, effective May 7, 2026, to support investor relations and capital markets activities.

Highlights:

• Nano One has appointed Mr. Zandberg as director of capital markets to strengthen support for retail and institutional investor engagement and research analyst coverage.
• Mr. Zandberg has over 30 years of capital markets sell-side experience building engagement strategies for Toronto Stock Exchange-listed emerging-growth companies.
• Mr. Zandberg is currently advising Blackline Safety Corp. as director of investor relations through its pending $850-million acquisition

Mr. Zandberg previously held various sell-side analyst roles at leading Canadian investment dealers and has built, over the course of his career, a strong network of institutional investors, family offices, high-net-worth individuals and retail investors. He will complement the company's existing IR strategy to broaden investor awareness and engagement across Canada, the United States and European capital markets.

"We are pleased to welcome Jason to the Nano One team," said Alex Holmes, president and chief strategy officer of Nano One Materials. "As we expand our engagement with North American, European and Indo-Pacific battery materials supply chains, bringing in an experienced capital markets professional to help communicate our value proposition is an important step. Jason has a track record of supporting shareholders, growing institutional audiences and expanding analyst coverage for emerging-growth public companies, making him a strong fit for the next stage of Nano One's development."

Mr. Zandberg currently serves as director of investor relations at Blackline Safety, where he continues to support the company through its pending $850-million acquisition. During his tenure, Blackline has expanded its institutional shareholder base, broadened analyst coverage and earned recognition on Deloitte's Technology Fast 500.

"Nano One has built something genuinely differentiated in terms of technology, with applications across defence, energy storage and EV [electric vehicle] sectors. The company's process technology supports the nascent mid-stream of the battery supply chain -- a part of the value chain that needs scalable, regionally resilient solutions as global demand grows," said Mr. Zandberg. "I look forward to supporting continued engagement with shareholders and broadening Nano One's retail and institutional investor following."

About Nano One Materials Corp.

Nano One is a process technology company changing how cathode active materials (CAMs) are produced for lithium-ion batteries. Nano One's platform is built on a portfolio of patented processes, decades of manufacturing know-how, and modular plant designs that enable scalable, cost-competitive and easier-to-permit CAM production with resilient supply chains. The technology eliminates waste water and byproducts while enabling regionally sourced raw materials and reducing exposure to foreign supply chain volatility. Modular plants are designed with fewer steps to reduce capex (capital expenditure), energy and environmental intensity and accelerate deployment, manufacturing and licensing. Product development and process optimization are based at Nano One's innovation centre in Burnaby, B.C., while piloting, demonstration and commercial production are based in Candiac, Que., supported by a team with more than 15 years of commercial cathode manufacturing experience supplying global cell manufacturers. Strategic collaborations with global partners including Sumitomo Metal Mining, Rio Tinto and Worley support Nano One's design-one-build-many growth strategy. Nano One has received funding support from the governments of Canada, the United States, Quebec and British Columbia.
