BROWNSVILLE, TX / ACCESS Newswire / June 23, 2025 / American Heritage International, Inc. (OTC PINK:AHII) today announced the appointment of a new Board of Directors and a bold strategic direction anchored in the development of next-generation transport systems. Central to this vision is a pending merger with Roadships, Inc. (USA) and Roadships Limited (Australia) - a transformative logistics company positioned at the forefront of modular shipping and mobile infrastructure.

The integration of Roadships positions AHII squarely within the framework of multiple U.S. national initiatives, including the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, The SHIPS for America Act , the U.S. Maritime Administration's National Maritime Strategy, and the Department of Defense's domestic supply chain restoration programs. Roadships' core innovation lies in its ability to rapidly deploy high-speed Ro/Ro vessels while bypassing traditional port limitations through self-contained shore logistics systems - a combination of modular ramping, unloading, and staging technologies that enable cargo to reach underserved or congested regions without fixed port infrastructure.

To support this long-term growth trajectory, AHII has established a $1 billion shelf bond registration, allowing the company to access capital incrementally as projects advance. This financing structure ensures both agility and scale as AHII begins to deploy sovereign infrastructure assets across multiple geographies.

"This isn't just a merger," said Micheal Nugent, newly appointed CEO of AHII. "It's a reset of how we think about logistics, economic resiliency, and the infrastructure independence required to compete in the decades ahead."

AHII also announced the launch of a research and development initiative focused on building the critical rolling stock for Roadships operations - including the Wombat ship unloader, multi-use trailers, and modular shore ramps. These systems will be designed to integrate seamlessly with the vessel network and expand rapidly into both civilian and defense logistics environments.

Combined, these initiatives signal AHII's intent to emerge as an integrated shipbuilder and logistics manufacturer, delivering advanced maritime solutions that are faster, more agile, and sovereign by design.
