Question: James West - Evercore Inc - Analyst
: So maybe to start off with, and I'll let maybe matters for you, but if Stephen and Tom I want to jump in here, can you talk about how
Montana Technologies started? And give us maybe the high-level pitch for the company.
Question: James West - Evercore Inc - Analyst
: Interesting, okay. And then could you talk a bit about this transformational technology? Maybe help us understand how does it work
and what are the main use cases here?
Question: James West - Evercore Inc - Analyst
: Got it. And this distilled water is potable, right?
Question: James West - Evercore Inc - Analyst

Question: James West - Evercore Inc - Analyst
: I was trying.
Question: James West - Evercore Inc - Analyst
: Right.
Question: James West - Evercore Inc - Analyst
: Right, okay, that's helpful, thanks Steve. And then I didn't mention this earlier, but for those of you listening on the line, please, if
you have questions for the guys, put them in the Q&A box. I'll make sure to get it over to Matt or Steve or Tom. I'm sure they're willing
to answer anything about the technologies.
So we know that data centers are becoming -- progressively become a major theme, right, in the global economy. Can you talk about
water use and data centers for cooling exercise, and I believe mostly, and how you can participate there?
Question: James West - Evercore Inc - Analyst
: Yeah, okay. And I do want to get into that in just a second, but what are the potential challenges and opportunities in expanding
the AirJoule technology in our regions with high water stress projections, the ones that are out there by 2040 where we're going to
see really damaging access to water?
Question: James West - Evercore Inc - Analyst
: Right, okay. And then what is the path here to commercialization? When do you expect to have the final product ready? And then
I guess on top of that, and maybe more for Stephen, but how does that align with your current cash position?
Question: James West - Evercore Inc - Analyst
: Got it. Okay, that makes a lot of sense. And then could you talk a little more about the competitive landscape of the industry and
how you're differentiating yourself from the competition? It seems like the modular approach. And not trying to be all things to
everybody, but anything I'm missing there?
Question: James West - Evercore Inc - Analyst
: Right, okay. And then, could you talk maybe a little bit more about some of the strategic partnerships and collaborations? Obviously,
GE Vernova was a big one for you here, but you also announced some MOUs recently with, I think, Clairity Technology and TenX
Investment?
Question: James West - Evercore Inc - Analyst
: Right, got it. Okay. And then as we think about -- so we talked about the technology, the path to kind of commercialization. How do
you see the business model developing here for the company and simply with the AirJoule product?
