These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risk that General Fusion is unable to maintain the listing of its securities on Nasdaq; the risk that the price of General Fusion's securities may be volatile due to a variety of factors outside of its control, the risk that the conversion or exercise price of General Fusion's PIPE warrants and convertible preferred shares may be reduced substantially in accordance with the terms thereof resulting in material dilution, the risk that price of General Fusion's shares is negatively affected by the release of approximately 41 million subordinate voting shares from a lock-up in January 2027 (unless released earlier), the risk that General Fusion never generates revenue; the risk that General Fusion fails to commercialize MTF on a cost-effective basis, on the expected timeline or at all; the risk that General Fusion fails to achieve the objectives of the LM26 program; the risk that additional capital needed by General Fusion may not be raised on favorable terms, or at all, including as a result of the restrictions agreed to in connection with the PIPE financing General Fusion closed on July 10, 2026; the risk that fusion energy does not gain public acceptance; the risk that the scientific and technical assumptions upon which MTF technology is based do not prove to be correct; the risk that General Fusion's competitors develop viable fusion technology sooner than it does; the risk of supply chain disruptions; the risk that key technical material and service inputs may not be available when required on reasonable terms or at all; the risk that General Fusion is unable to attract and retain qualified personnel with highly technical expertise; the risk that General Fusion is subject to negative publicity; the risk that General Fusion's assessment of the total addressable market for fusion energy is incorrect; the risk of changes in the laws and regulations governing General Fusion's research and development activities and in the regulation of fusion energy; the risk of fluctuations in currency markets; the risk that General Fusion is unable to complete and successfully integrate any future acquisitions; the risk of increased competition in the fusion industry; the risk of accidents, earthquakes, fires, floods and other natural disasters; the risk that General Fusion's information technology fails; the risk that General Fusion's operating expenses are materially higher than forecast; the risk that General Fusion is unable to remediate material weaknesses in its internal controls or identify additional material weaknesses in the future; the risk that General Fusion is unable to adequately protect or enforce its intellectual property rights; the risk of third-party claims that General Fusion is infringing or violating another person's intellectual property rights; the risk that General Fusion's intellectual property applications are not granted; the risk of a cyber event or privacy breach resulting in an interruption in operations or financial loss; the risk that the Canadian government reduces or delays funding of government programs in which General Fusion participates; the risk that future sales by existing shareholders could cause General Fusion's stock price to decline; and the risk that General Fusion is unable to establish and maintain effective internal controls to produce accurate and timely public disclosure.
