[Statement]

Among the patents held by Saean Group Inc., including those already registered and those currently under examination, the company possesses a substantial number of patents that represent a broad range of technologies related to future mobility. Beyond electric vehicles and batteries—which have already become a reality—the company’s ownership of technologies related to Urban Air Mobility (UAM), hydrogen, and hydrogen engines, as well as other zero-emission systems, reflects a comprehensive strategic vision aimed at securing leadership in future mobility. These technologies are expected to serve as critical assets in leading the global market. The detailed characteristics are as follows:
 

• The company holds advanced technologies related to safety for electric vehicle batteries, including thermal insulation structures and electrical tabs, as well as cutting-edge technologies such as cooling systems designed to enhance battery lifespan and safety.

 

• As the era of electric vehicles advances, Urban Air Mobility (UAM) is expected to emerge as a new mode of transportation that goes beyond the electric vehicle market. In particular, UAM represents a newly emerging, mammoth-scale market, making first-mover advantage especially significant. Saean Group’s patent portfolio includes a considerable number of UAM-related patents, encompassing a wide range of technologies such as propulsion system architecture, improved stability through enhanced guidance wing designs, and multi-directional propulsion systems.

 

• In the transition toward a fully electric vehicle era, Extended-Range Electric Vehicles (EREVs) represent an important interim model. Starting next year, multiple global manufacturers are expected to introduce various EREV models, and it is firmly anticipated that these vehicles will gain popularity as a transitional solution on the path toward full electrification. The company’s ownership of patents in this area carries meaningful first-mover significance.

 

• Alongside battery technologies for storing electrical energy, the establishment of economically viable large-scale green hydrogen production systems will be a core challenge going forward. The patent portfolio includes not only highly cost-effective hydrogen generation technologies, but also various applied patents such as hydrogen engine hybrid systems. These patents related to next-generation zero-emission energy generation and associated devices hold substantial strategic importance.
