a leading provider of innovative carbon fiber and composite solutions serving diverse applications including personal sports equipment,

with a large minority ownership by Industrial Technology Research Institute (“ITRI”), one of Taiwan’s most prominent
applied research institutions and a globally recognized technology incubator that is recognized as a trusted partner in the US, as demonstrated
by the recent signing with the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (“AUVSI”) as a “Recognized

Through
this agreement, J-Star will serve as the sole exclusive global distributor of PSSB’s products in the areas of “Electric Assist
