Business Description

In this Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”), references to the “Company” and to “Solidion” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Solidion Technology, Inc. Corporate History and Background We were originally incorporated in Delaware on June 14, 2021 under the name “Nubia Brand International Corp.” as a special purpose acquisition company, formed for the purpose of effecting an initial business combination with one or more target businesses. On March 14, 2022 (the “IPO Closing Date”), we consummated our initial public offering (the “IPO”). On February 2, 2024, we consummated the previously announced business combination (the “Closing”) pursuant to a Merger Agreement, dated February 16, 2023 (as amended on August 25, 2023, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Nubia, Honeycomb Battery Company, an Ohio corporation (“HBC”), and Nubia Merger Sub, Inc., an Ohio corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Nubia (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into HBC (the “Merger,” and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”), with HBC surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Nubia, which was renamed “Solidion Technology, Inc.” upon Closing and we became the owner, directly or indirectly, of all of the equity interests of Honeycomb Battery Company and its subsidiaries. Overview Solidion Technology, Inc. is an advanced battery technology company focused on the development and commercialization of next-generation battery materials, components, and energy storage solutions. Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, with research and development (R&D) and manufacturing operations in Dayton, Ohio, Solidion is dedicated to transforming the energy storage landscape by addressing key limitations in current lithium-ion and emerging battery technologies. The Company specializes in high-performance silicon-rich anode materials, solid-state battery technology, and fire-retardant electrolytes, aiming to enhance the energy density, safety, and cost-effectiveness of lithium-ion batteries. Solidion’s proprietary innovations include graphene-enabled batteries, elastomer-protected electrodes, quasi-solid and solid-state electrolytes, and biochar-derived anode materials, providing sustainable and scalable solutions for the electric vehicle (EV), energy storage system (ESS), and consumer electronics markets. Solidion holds an extensive intellectual property (IP) portfolio with over 345 active patents (pending and granted) globally, positioning the Company as a leader in silicon anode and solid-state battery technology. Its innovative silane-free production processes for silicon-based anode materials allow for lower manufacturing costs and improved scalability. Additionally, its fire-retardant and polymer-based electrolytes enable safer, high-energy-density batteries compatible with existing lithium-ion cell production infrastructure. A key milestone in Solidion’s technological advancements is the successful development of a high-energy cylindrical cell, which achieves an exceptional energy density of 305 Wh/kg, significantly higher than conventional lithium-ion batteries, which typically range between 240-260 Wh/kg. This innovation not only enhances the range and performance of EVs but also underscores Solidion’s ability to deliver cutting-edge solutions for high-energy and high-power applications. The Company has established strategic partnerships with leading industry players, including Giga Solar Materials Corp. and Bluestar Materials Company, to advance the production and commercialization of silicon oxide (SiOx) anode materials in the U.S. These collaborations, along with Solidion’s ongoing engagement with EV original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and toll-manufacturing partners, position the Company to accelerate the adoption of its next-generation battery solutions. On November 14, 2024, we adopted a strategic Bitcoin allocation policy for our Corporate Treasury. As part of this strategy, Solidion is committed to leveraging Bitcoin as a long-term store of value. The Company will allocate excess cash from operations toward Bitcoin purchases, subject to board approval. Additionally, interest earnings from cash held in money market accounts will be converted into Bitcoin. The Company also plans to allocate a portion of future capital raises to Bitcoin acquisitions, demonstrating a sustained commitment to integrating Bitcoin into its financial strategy.…
