About ESI Energy Services Inc.
ESI, which operates under the brand, Ozzie’s, Inc. (“Ozzie’s”), is a designer and manufacturer
of specialized construction equipment serving both the renewable and conventional energy
sectors. Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, Ozzie’s provides equipment leasing, sales, and
manufacturing solutions that support larg e-scale infrastructure construction across solar,
wind, oil and gas, and utility markets.
Following another year of solid performance, ESI is targeting revenue of approximately C$22

since 2008. The Company has continued to deliver strong margins year to date driven by
steady demand across its core product lines and growing industry activity in renewable energy
applications.
As part of its ongoing investment in product innovation, Ozzie’s is proud to announce the
development of the Ozzie’s Omni Crawler — a versatile, scalable, and autonomous tracked
vehicle solution. The Omni Crawler is expected to combine remote operator control and
advanced autonomous perception in a single, adaptive platform that delivers precision,
efficiency, and reduced on-site labor requirements in demanding environments.
The platform’s modular architecture and dual attachment is expected to allow for easy
integration supporting a full range of attachments including Ozzie’s proprietary tooling, third -
party solutions, and commercially available compact track loader implements. Currently, the
Omni Crawler is being designed to pair with Ozzie’s own already marketed OMR-50 Module
Rotator and OMH -40 Module Handler, purpose -built attachments for large -scale solar
installation. Its adaptable design is expected to also support the high demand areas of battery
storage construction, data centre development, and other utility-scale projects.
ESI remains focused on advancing innovation, expanding international sales, and introducing
new products that enhance efficiency and safety in energy infrastructure development and
the rapidly expanding data center construction market, where Ozzie’s specialized equipment
