Executive Summary

J-Star signed a non-binding MOU with White Group to facilitate a $100M investment in its planned solid-state battery facility in Baytown, Texas. The financing would support a 100 MWh production line targeting drone and defense markets. However, the MOU is non-binding and the company has a market cap of only $5M, making the outcome highly uncertain.
