Appointment of Jeffrey Greenberg
Mr. Greenberg brings more than three decades of senior executive, operational, and strategic experience
as a founding-family executive of Skechers USA, Inc. (“Skechers”), one of the world’s largest global
footwear and lifestyle brands.1 He served as a member of the Board of Directors of Skechers from
September 2000 until December 2021 and previously served as Vice President of Active Electronic Media,
a technology-focused subsidiary of Skechers that oversees digital media, digital customer engagement
platforms, e-commerce initiatives, and technology partnerships supporting the broader omnichannel
strategy of the global brand. In these prior director and executive roles, Mr. Greenberg gained experience
at the intersection of consumer technology, digital marketing, and global brand growth, complementing

From Skechers’ inception in 1992, Mr. Greenberg played a foundational role in Skechers early growth and
global expansion. He served as Chief Financial Officer from 1992 to 1993 and later as Chief Operating
Officer from 1992 to 1998, during which time he oversaw financial strategy, operations, and early
international expansion initiatives. Founded by Mr. Greenberg’s family, Skechers has since grown into a
Fortune 500 company with a global footprint spanning more than 180 countries and territories and, in
2025, was acquired in a take-private transaction valued at approximately US$9.4 billion.¹˒² Mr. Greenberg
does not hold any current executive or board role with Skechers as of the date hereof.
The Company believes Mr. Greenberg’s historical experience in scaling global consumer platforms,
overseeing digital and operational infrastructure, and navigating complex organizational growth cycles is
directly relevant to his role with the Company.
Role Within Battery X Metals’ Advisory Board
As a member of the Advisory Board, Mr. Greenberg will serve in an advisory capacity, providing strategic
guidance and support to the Company from time to time on matters requested by management and the
Board of Directors. His role is expected to include advising on strategic growth initiatives, capital markets
positioning, partnership development and strategy, and market-development strategies.
Drawing on his experience as a director and founding-family executive of a global Fortune 500 brand, Mr.
Greenberg will also provide insight into long-term brand development, institutional credibility, and
disciplined global growth execution as Battery X Metals advances the commercialization of its next-
generation lithium-ion battery technologies. In addition, Mr. Greenberg is expected to advise on
customer, investor, and broader stakeholder engagement strategies, supporting the Company’s efforts to
build awareness, credibility, and strategic alignment across capital markets and industry participants.
The Advisory Board has been established to support Battery X Metals’ growth trajectory by engaging
experienced executives and industry leaders who can contribute strategic perspective, industry insight,
and market connectivity. The Company believes that Mr. Greenberg’s background in scaling a founder-
led company into a globally recognized public brand, combined with his experience across capital markets,
technology-enabled platforms, and international expansion, aligns closely with the Company’s objective
to become a globally recognized participant in the emerging lithium-ion battery technology sector.
Advancing Next-Generation Lithium-Ion Battery Technologies
Battery X Metals is advancing a portfolio of next-generation lithium-ion battery technologies
encompassing battery diagnostics, rebalancing, and recycling, addressing critical challenges across the full
battery lifecycle, from post warranty performance degradation to end of life material recovery, as global
electric vehicle adoption continues to accelerate.
Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Battery X Rebalancing Technologies Inc., the Company has
developed a patent-pending, second-generation working prototype lithium-ion battery rebalancing
hardware and software platform (the “Rebalancing Machine”) designed to recover lost usable capacity,
improve energy efficiency, and extend the remaining lifespan of electric vehicle batteries. The technology
is intended to address cell level imbalance that can materially limit effective driving range and accelerate
premature battery degradation, even where the battery pack as a whole retains remaining useful life.
In preliminary real-world performance trials, the Company has demonstrated substantial and sustained
recovery of effective driving range following rebalancing and targeted cell replacement and rebalancing
interventions. As disclosed in the Company’s news release dated July 4, 2025, a validation assessment
conducted on a Class 3 electric vehicle demonstrated that the Rebalancing Machine restored a severely
degraded battery pack from a reported effective driving range of approximately 40 kilometers to an
estimated 295 kilometers under no-load conditions, representing an increase of approximately 255
kilometers, or a 637 percent improvement, following the rebalancing procedure.
As further disclosed in the Company’s news releases dated July 25, 2025 and October 24, 2025, a series
of validation assessments conducted on a Class 3 electric vehicle demonstrated an increase in effective
driving range from approximately 40 kilometers per charge prior to rebalancing to an estimated effective
range of approximately 220 kilometers per charge. This performance improvement was maintained over
more than four months and in excess of 2,000 kilometers of continued real-world operation. Trial data
confirmed stable post-rebalancing performance with only minor range variance, reinforcing the
Rebalancing Machine’s potential to extend remaining useful battery life and reduce the need for costly
full battery replacements in commercial and fleet electric vehicle applications.
Battery X Rebalancing Technologies’ platform has also been validated by the National Research Council of
Canada (NRC), which confirmed the technology’s ability to correct battery cell imbalance and recover
nearly all lost capacity attributable to imbalance under controlled test conditions.
Together, these preliminary results support the Company’s strategy to position its next-generation
Rebalancing Machine as a cost-effective solution within the emerging post-warranty electric vehicle
aftermarket, aimed at mitigating the significant costs associated with premature battery replacement.
Complementing its lithium-ion battery rebalancing initiatives, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary,
Battery X Recycling Technologies Inc., is advancing proprietary battery material recovery technologies
designed to support a circular and sustainable battery supply chain. The Company is developing an
environmentally responsible froth flotation process for the recovery of high-purity graphite, metal oxides,
and other critical battery materials from end-of-life lithium-ion batteries.
Further to the Company’s news release dated November 25, 2025, Battery X Recycling Technologies
entered into a new collaborative research agreement with a globally ranked Top 20 university (the “Global
Top 20 University”), one of North America’s largest and most advanced centers for mining engineering
education and research. Through the Global Top 20 University’s Institute of Mining Engineering, the
parties are advancing the joint development and validation of proprietary battery-material recovery
technologies, building on previously reported laboratory-scale progress.
As a result of this collaboration, the Company has achieved preliminary laboratory-scale results
demonstrating graphite recoveries exceeding 98 percent and oxide purities of up to 96 percent under
mild, low-chemical conditions. Ongoing research under the new agreement is focused on further process
refinement, expansion across additional battery chemistries, and the advancement of the technology
toward future pilot-scale validation and commercialization.
Together, the Company’s lithium-ion battery rebalancing and recycling technology platforms are designed
to support sustainability, lower total cost of ownership, and enable more efficient utilization of battery
resources across consumer, fleet, and commercial electric vehicle markets.
