Appointment of General Thomas A. Bussiere (ret.) to the Board of Directors

On August 13, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Evolution Metals & Technologies Corp. (the “Company” or “EM&T”) appointed General Thomas A. Bussiere (ret.), former Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, to serve as an independent member of the Board, effective immediately. General Bussiere was also appointed by the EM&T Board to serve as a member of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board. General Bussiere was appointed as a Class I Director.

General Bussiere brings to the Board more than 40 years of distinguished executive and military leadership experience directing complex global operations, managing enterprise risk, leading large-scale organizations, and executing high-stakes strategic initiatives. Most recently, General Bussiere served as a four-star General in the United States Air Force and as Commander of Air Force Global Strike Command from 2022 to 2025, where he led an organization of more than 33,000 personnel responsible for the defense infrastructure, strategic operations, critical asset oversight, and modernizing multi-billion-dollar technological and enterprise systems across United States strategic forces.

Prior to leading Air Force Global Strike Command, General Bussiere served as Deputy Commander of U.S. Strategic Command from 2020 to 2022, where he co-directed the operational infrastructure and strategic joint-force command of a global enterprise responsible for some of the United States’ most critical strategic missions. Throughout his 40-year career, General Bussiere held numerous senior command and leadership positions involving multinational operations, advanced technology programs, strategic planning, safety and compliance, organizational transformation, and coordination across government agencies and international partners.

General Bussiere is also a command pilot with more than 3,400 flight hours across multiple advanced aircraft, including the F-22 Raptor, the F-15 Eagle, the B-1B Lancer and the B-2A Spirit. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Management from Norwich University and multiple graduate degrees, including a Master of Strategic Studies from the U.S. Army War College. His full biography is contained on the U.S. Air Force website: https://www.af.mil/About-Us/Biographies/Display/Article/108798/thomas-a-bussiere/

The Board believes that General Bussiere’s extensive experience in enterprise leadership, strategic execution, risk management, operational excellence, technology modernization, and leading complex organizations in mission-critical environments will provide significant additional perspective and expertise to the Board as the Company continues to execute its strategic growth initiatives.

No arrangements or understandings exist between General Bussiere and any other persons pursuant to which the Board selected General Bussiere as a director.

General Bussiere maintains no family relationships with any director, nominee for director, or executive officer of the Company. Furthermore, General Bussiere has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction or currently proposed transaction that would require disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

General Bussiere will be eligible to receive compensation for his service on the Board and its committees in accordance with the Company’s existing non-employee director compensation program, as in effect from time to time.
