("NOMAD"), a market leader in deployable, utility-grade battery energy storage systems (BESS), In connection with the merger, the Company is issuing to the NOMAD accredited stockholders 2,992,041 shares of its common stock and 50,366.07 shares of its newly authorized Series D preferred stock (which shares are convertible into 50,366,070 shares of NOMAD common stock on a 1 for 1,000 basis following the receipt of Company stockholder approval).
The Company also announced it has changed its corporate name to NOMAD Power Solutions, Inc. effective as of July 3, 2026, and its trading symbol to “NMAD” effective as of July 6, 2026.
“We are delighted to have completed this transaction, which transforms LIXTE into a new and exciting, rapidly growing sector, allowing us to address a multi-billion-dollar market and establish the foundation for a highly scalable infrastructure platform,” said Geordan Pursglove, LIXTE’s Chief Executive Officer. “NOMAD instantly places us at the center of powerful long-term trends, including artificial intelligence, electrification, grid modernization and industrial expansion, including the massive power demands of the AI boom and the corporate push into pure-play deployable power.”
As a result of the merger, NOMAD becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and will continue under the leadership of its CEO John Travaglini and his team. NOMAD is continuing to experience rapid growth in 2026. NOMAD is engaged on more than 30 active utility, infrastructure and strategic customer projects across North America.
“The demand we are experiencing across utility, AI infrastructure and industrial markets confirms that deployable BESS has become an essential layer of the modern grid,” Travaglini said. “Becoming a part of a publicly traded company through LIXTE provides us with the capital and public-market visibility to scale manufacturing, deepen our customer relationships, continue defining the category we created and scale our growth.
“As AI workloads and data center buildout accelerate power consumption at an unprecedented pace, grid infrastructure cannot absorb that demand through traditional fixed assets alone. Our ability to rapidly deploy megawatt-scale storage anywhere, essentially eliminating siting delays, construction permitting burdens, and the capital lock-up of traditional installations, gives us a competitive advantage and represents a sea-change in the broad energy industry,” Travaglini added.
