the market yesterday, gaining over fourteenpercent on news of its plan to materially
reduce the costs in scale production capacityof next generation proprietary graphite bipolar plates,
including the introduction of disruptive manufacturing technology. According to the News, this project
is the logical progression after Ballard completedtwo important milestones the development of next generation

thin flexible graphite bipolar plates and anexpansion of membrane electrode assembly MEA manufacturing capacity
in Canada as part of Ballard's threeby three stack cost reduction program. Bipolar

and the introduction of new lower costmaterial suppliers to result in cost savings of
up to seventy percent. Following commissionexpected in late twenty twenty five, Ballard's
next generation thin flexible graphite bipolar platessignificantly reduced plate materials while enabling high power

density stacks, which are critical forcertain market applications. Graphite bipolar plates are
the optimal choice for Ballard's heavy dutymobility markets as they offer long durability,
reusability at stack end of life,and high power density, while also offering
the lowest plate cost at current andscaled volumes. Beyond product cost savings,

this project will increase Ballard's plate manufacturingcompacity by approximately ten times, while significantly
improving graphite and resin material yield andreducing production tact times. Ballard has also
developed several novel manufacturing processes that enablefull automation of the bipolar plate production processes,

of water consumption from plate manufacturing.These innovations are expected to be replicable in
any future expansion of Ballard's global bipolarplate production footprint. Riding the sector wave
