COGENIC SIGNS BINDING HEADS OF AGREEMENT WITH SYNCH FOR
UP TO US$10 MILLION
One-year commercial framework for Cogenic's next-generation wearable technology,
including a US$250,000 proof-of-concept program for ten field-operational smart-glasses
units
Key Highlights
Binding Heads of Agreement (HoA) signed with SYNCH establishing a one-year
commercial framework under which SYNCH may, following successful proof-of-
concept acceptance, place purchase orders with an aggregate value of up to
US$10 million under the current framework
SYNCH is the trading name of MEEP - Advanced Enterprise Communication Ltd.
The HoA provides for total proof-of-concept payments of US$250,000: an initial
payment of US$50,000 due in accordance with the terms of the HoA, 21
business days after the earlier of execution of the Master Agreement or 60 days
from the Effective Date (20 October 2026), and a US$200,000 balance payable
following proof-of-concept acceptance, subject to the conditions agreed in the
HoA.
Following successful initial deployment, the parties intend to explore further
opportunities across homeland security, law enforcement, medical first
response, military, defence and other real-time field-operational
applications. The US$10 million cap applies only to purchase orders under the
current framework and does not prevent the parties from separately agreeing
additional projects or orders.
Energy Technologies Limited (ASX: EGY or the Company) is pleased to announce that its
100%-owned subsidiary, Cogenic Pty Ltd (Cogenic), has signed a binding Heads of
Agreement with SYNCH, the trading name of MEEP - Advanced Enterprise
Communication Ltd, establishing a one-year commercial framework under which
SYNCH may place purchase orders with an aggregate value of up to US$10 million. The
US$10 million cap applies to the current framework and does not prevent the parties
from separately agreeing additional projects or orders.
The HoA is an important commercial milestone for Cogenic and creates a pathway for
the Company's wearable technology to undergo field validation and progress towards
broader commercial deployment.
Under the HoA, Cogenic will deliver ten field-operational smart-glasses units for a
proof-of-concept program. Delivery is targeted within six months of the Effective Date,
with acceptance to follow the testing process and objective criteria to be agreed in the
Product Requirements Document and Master Agreement.
The parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to execute the Master Agreement
within 60 days. The Master Agreement is intended to finalise the product specifications,
pricing and volume tiers, forecasting and production arrangements, lead times,
warranty and service levels, and the detailed scope and performance requirements
applying to SYNCH's exclusivity in Israel.
Following proof-of-concept acceptance, SYNCH may place purchase orders with
Cogenic during the one-year term with an aggregate value of up to US$10 million,
inclusive of the proof-of-concept payments. Other than the proof-of-concept payment
arrangements, SYNCH is not required to place a minimum volume of purchase orders,
and revenue under the framework will depend on future purchase orders. Any
additional projects or orders outside the current framework would be subject to
separate written agreement between the parties.
Commercial framework and proof of concept
The proof-of-concept payment totals US$250,000. The US$50,000 first payment is
subject to the terms of the HoA and is due 21 business days after the earlier of
execution of the Master Agreement or 60 days from the Effective Date. The US$200,000
balance is payable within 30 days after proof-of-concept acceptance. Both payments
count towards the US$10 million framework cap.
Cogenic's technology is designed to consolidate capabilities traditionally delivered
through separate devices into a single lightweight wearable platform. The proposed
proof-of-concept solution is expected to include heads-up visual information, two-way
communications, body-worn video functionality, software, connectivity and integration
with command-and-control systems, subject to the agreed product requirements.
Following successful initial deployment, the parties intend to explore further
opportunities across homeland security, law enforcement, medical first response,
military, defence and other environments where hands-free access to real-time
communications, visual information and data may provide operational benefits.
Technology and manufacturing readiness
Cogenic's solution incorporates its proprietary LBS and MEMS technology, including
custom-manufactured MEMS components, within a lightweight smart-glasses platform
designed for field use.
Cogenic's manufacturing model is designed to enable a rapid transition from proof of
concept to commercial-scale production, with the majority of manufacturing intended
to be undertaken externally. Detailed forecasting, production-capacity commitments
and lead times will be agreed in the Master Agreement.
Cogenic retains ownership of its existing and core intellectual property. Project-specific
integration work, interfaces and customisations developed by SYNCH or the end
customer will be owned by SYNCH. The HoA also includes exclusivity for SYNCH in
Israel, subject to the detailed scope and performance requirements to be agreed in the
Master Agreement.
Given the commercial sensitivity of the agreement, the identity of the end customer and
its specific requirements will not be disclosed at this time. The Company will continue
to update shareholders as further material developments arise.
Forward-looking statements
This announcement contains forward-looking statements, including in relation to
execution of the Master Agreement, delivery and acceptance of the proof of concept,
future purchase orders, production scaling and potential additional markets. These
statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, many outside the Company's
control, and actual outcomes may differ materially. Purchase orders beyond the proof-
of-concept payment arrangements are at SYNCH's discretion and no minimum revenue
is committed under the broader framework. Except as required by law, the Company
undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements.
