By utilizing proven, already operational assets, CHARBONE expects to significantly reduce capital installation costs and accelerate time-to-market compared to deploying new systems.<\/p>\n<p>Further to CHARBONE\u2019s announcement made on September 5, 2025, under the terms of the agreement, CHARBONE has issued <strong>13,333,334 common shares<\/strong> at $0.075 per share, representing $1 million in equity consideration to Harnois. Additional <strong>cash payments<\/strong> will be made in staged tranches over two years, preserving capital for growth initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>Importantly, Harnois elected to receive a substantial portion of the consideration in CHARBONE equity at market value. This decision underscores Harnois\u2019 recognition of the <strong>strategic long-term benefits of aligning with CHARBONE<\/strong> as Quebec\u2019s leading clean UHP hydrogen supplier, while Harnois continues to focus on its core energy distribution businesses.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThis is a transformative moment for CHARBONE,\u201d said<\/em> <strong>Dave B. Gagnon, CEO of CHARBONE<\/strong><em>. \u201cWith these assets, we will begin producing clean UHP hydrogen in Sorel-Tracy much sooner than anticipated, while optimizing capital efficiency.
