This agreement marks a significant step toward building an international defense technology platform focused on advanced UAV systems and dual-use solutions. It reflects a transition from standalone projects to an integrated, multi-national structure combining engineering capabilities, operational execution, and access to strategic markets across Europe and allied regions.
The Fairchild name carries exceptional weight in the global defense sector. It is historically associated with the development of the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II, one of the most iconic and combat-proven close air support aircraft ever deployed. The A-10s reputation for durability, survivability, and battlefield effectiveness has made it a benchmark in military aviation. This legacy introduces a strong operational and engineering philosophy into the cooperationone grounded in real-world performance and mission reliability.
Under the agreement, both parties intend to...
explore Fairchild Aerospace Corporations potential equity participation in MBF Group S.A. Current discussions indicate a contemplated investment starting at approximately 10% of the Companys share capital, with the possibility of increasing the stake to around 20%, subject to further negotiations and alignment on project execution.Importantly, the parties have aligned that any potential share subscription would be executed at an issue price not lower than PLN 10.00 per share at this stage. This reflects a valuation approach based on long-term technological potential, defense market positioning, and scalability, rather than short-term stock market fluctuations.
The cooperation model is structured to accommodate both financial investment and contributions in kind. This may include defense technologies, intellectual property, engineering capabilities, and access to military or governmental channels. In the defense sector, such hybrid structures are widely recognized as the most effective way to accelerate development and deployment of operational systems.
The agreement also provides for the potential use of financial instruments such as subscription warrants, allowing Fairchild to increase its capital involvement over time. This creates a framework for long-term alignment and supports a phased investment approach linked to project milestones and value creation.
The strategic relevance of this partnership is amplified by the rapidly growing demand for unmanned systems in modern defense environments. MBF Group S.A. is positioning itself within this trend by developing platforms designed not only for innovation but for real deployment scenarios. The addition of a U.S. partner with deep aerospace heritage significantly strengthens both technological credibility and international reach.
This cooperation is part of a broader initiative to establish a limited, high-quality ecosystem of international partners. MBF Group S.A. is currently finalizing discussions with selected entities across key regions. Once this structure is completed, the Company intends to move into an intensive execution phase focused on rapid development, deployment readiness, and value growth.
As a publicly listed company, MBF Group S.A. combines operational development with capital market access, creating a unique environment for scaling advanced defense technologies. This dual approachengineering execution supported by capital marketspositions the Company to pursue both technological advancement and long-term shareholder value.
Management of MBF Group S.A. considers this agreement a major milestone in the Companys evolution into a globally positioned defense technology platform. Further updates regarding cooperation progress, investment decisions, and project milestones will be disclosed in accordance with applicable capital market regulations.
