• Strategic Joint Venture Formed

  Eos Energy and Cerberus Capital Management are forming Frontier Power USA, a joint venture to develop, finance, and operate long-duration energy storage projects, leveraging Cerberus's capital and operating experience.

• Significant Capital Commitment

  Cerberus will commit $100 million in equity to the JV, and Eos plans a $150 million rights offering to fund its contribution, totaling $250 million for the JV. This follows the S-3ASR shelf registration filed concurrently.

• Dilutive Financing Structure

  The planned rights offering and warrants issued to Cerberus and participants will have an exercise price at a 20% discount to the 15-day VWAP, leading to dilution for existing shareholders. Shareholder approval for an increase in authorized shares is a closing condition for the JV, as previously sought on 2026-03-31 and 2026-04-14.

• Strong Q1 2026 Financial Results

  Eos reported $57.0 million in Q1 revenue, a 445% year-over-year increase, with improved gross and adjusted EBITDA margins, and reaffirmed its 2026 revenue guidance of $300 million to $400 million.

This filing is critical as Eos Energy addresses its long-term financing needs and accelerates project deployment. The joint venture with Cerberus provides a dedicated capital platform, de-risking future projects and leveraging institutional expertise. While the planned $150 million rights offering and warrant issuance will be dilutive for existing shareholders, it is a necessary step to fund Eos's contribution to the JV and scale operations. The strong Q1 financial results, including substantial revenue growth and improved gross margins, demonstrate operational progress, reinforcing the company's ability to execute on its technology and manufacturing. The combination of strategic financing and operational strength is crucial for Eos's path to profitability and market leadership in long-duration energy storage.
