Financial Impact

Total contract prices are redacted (KRW [******]) — undisclosed amount. The deal is a capital expenditure for production capacity expansion, not a revenue-generating contract.

Risk Factors

• Execution risk: delivery, installation, and commissioning by November 2026 is aggressive; any delays could push capacity ramp.
• Financing risk: total contract value is undisclosed but likely material; EMAT may need to raise capital, causing dilution.
• Geopolitical risk: equipment sourced from Korea but ULVAC is Japanese; export license requirements could cause delays.
• Market demand risk: 10,000 tons/year capacity assumes sufficient demand from ex-China customers, particularly U.S. defense and EV sectors.
