  3. 3 Company Proprietary Information. Lyten 3D GrapheneTM, carbon reimagined Lyten has invented a revolutionary reactor technology designed to deliver exceptional material innovation and economic value, while coincidently capturing solid carbon and producing clean hydrogen. Proprietary semi-conductor inspired “cracking” process liberates Carbon and Hydrogen with zero CO2 emissions Hydrocarbons (including Bio-gas) C H H Hydrogen Tunable, Structured Nano Carbons… …Processed in-situ Optimally tuned 3DG structures Infinitely tunable H H Future source of clean hydrogen for industrial and transportation usage
  4. 4 Company Proprietary Information. From Methane to 3D Graphene to Limitless Applications Lyten has devised proprietary reactors and processing to tune and functionalize 3D Graphene by combining with chemical elements to create applications with disruptive performance Applications Energy Storage Composites Sensing  50% higher energy density vs. Li-ion  Estimated ~50-60% lower cost than NMC batteries  Up to 50% strength-to-weight improvement in resin  Supports dispersion in elastomers  Enables “Smart” resonant materials requiring no on- board battery / processor / wires to function Functionalization Tuned Morphologies Lyten 3D Graphene Tuned and functionalized for targeted high performance
  5. 5 Company Proprietary Information. Industrial Application: Lyten 3D Graphene in Polyethylene Lyten formulates 3D Graphene for dispersion in resin systems… …driving multi-functional performance improvements1… ...resulting in reduced material needed and up to 54% reduction in life cycle GHG emissions* Polymer: PE, PA6, PP, etc. 1 Engineered 3D Graphene solution 2 3rd Party Compounded 3 Part is molded 4 OEM sells final product 5 120 115 146 161 Toughness Stiffness +40% +22% Pure polyethylene 3DG-enhanced Polyethylene Mechanical improvements of 3DG, kpsi 1 According to 3rd party analysis (54%) Lyten 3D Graphene yields 30% weight reduction for Pelican; targeting 50% • Lyten passed 25 different tests to gain customer acceptance • Pelican #1 market position in engineered containers • Pelican rotomolds >45 cases on production tooling at their factory in Massachusetts Decarbonization Impact: 1 ton PE w/ Lyten 3DG  -1550 kg CO2e 1 kg Lyten 3D Graphene  -86 kg CO2e *Life Cycle Associates
