Partnership Begins with Pilot Evaluation in Isparta's Eğirdir Lake Basin, with Potential Expansion to Additional Water-Stressed Regions Across the Country

NAPLES, FL / ACCESS Newswire / August 6, 2026 / Rain Enhancement Technologies Holdco, Inc. (NASDAQ:RAIN) ("RET" or the "Company"), a leading provider of ionization rainfall generation technology, today announced that it has signed an exclusive representation and equipment lease agreement with Ulusal Atmosferik İyonizasyon Teknolojileri San ve Tic Anonim Şirketi (UASIT), a Türkiye-based company focused on water resource management and climate adaptation. Under the agreement, UASIT becomes RET's exclusive representative for the deployment of its Weather Enhancement Technology Array ("WETA") platform in the Republic of Türkiye.

The initial focus of the partnership will be the Eğirdir Lake Basin in Isparta Province, where RET and UASIT intend to evaluate the WETA platform's potential to support natural precipitation and improve water security for drinking water supply, agricultural irrigation, and lake and reservoir management. RET and UASIT also intend to evaluate potential pilot opportunities in other water-stressed regions of Türkiye, including the İzmir region, Central Anatolia, the Mediterranean region, and Southeastern Anatolia, subject to appropriate conditions and institutional approvals.

Türkiye's water resources are under increasing pressure from drought, changing precipitation patterns, rising evaporation, and growing agricultural demand. The agreement positions RET's ground-based ionization technology as a tool to help Turkish public agencies, private entities, and agricultural stakeholders address these challenges through independently measured, scientifically evaluated methods.

"Türkiye faces significant water security challenges, and this partnership with UASIT reflects RET's continued international expansion," said Randy Seidl, CEO of Rain Enhancement Technologies. "UASIT brings deep local expertise and relationships with Turkish water authorities and agricultural stakeholders, and we look forward to working together to evaluate how our WETA platform can support water security across the region."

"Water security is not only a concern for a single watershed, but also a strategic priority for the future of Türkiye as a whole," said Burak Akpınar, Chief Executive Officer of UASIT. "Through the planned work in the Eğirdir Lake Basin, we aim to evaluate innovative climate adaptation solutions in different regions of Türkiye in a scientific and controlled manner. This technology is not based on a claim of creating rain from clear skies or producing precipitation from nothing. The objective is to determine, through independent measurements and scientific analysis, whether existing natural precipitation potential can be supported under suitable meteorological conditions."

RET's ionization technology, as applied under this agreement:

Is ground-based and does not require aircraft operations.
Does not use silver iodide or other chemical seeding agents.
Does not release chemical substances into the atmosphere.
Is operated only under suitable meteorological conditions, in a controlled manner.
Will be evaluated through independent measurements, statistical analysis, and environmental monitoring.

The project is intended to support the evaluation of potential benefits related to drinking water security, agricultural irrigation, lake and reservoir water budgets, rural economies, and drought resilience. RET and UASIT have agreed that project results will be measured using scientific methods, evaluated in cooperation with relevant public institutions and independent experts, and reported transparently.
