At the same time, global demand for proactive, personalized and scalable health solutions is accelerating, driven in large part by aging populations worldwide.By acquiring full ownership of FST, Massimo plans to integrate its manufacturing scale, brand strength, and nationwide distribution network with FST's full-stack AI capabilities, including intelligent control platforms, health-technology modules and proprietary AI middleware. Upon successful closing, Massimo expects the transaction will enable it to build a unified intelligent ecosystem spanning mobility, health and advanced system intelligence.Expected Synergies and Growth OpportunitiesFollowing completion of the acquisition, the combined organization is expected to:<ul type="disc"><li>Embed FST's AI-driven control platforms, health-technology modules, and proprietary middleware into Massimo's next-generation UTV, ATV and marine product lines;</li><li>Reduce product development cycles;</li><li>Lower comprehensive R&amp;D and system integration costs;</li><li>Accelerate time-to-market for intelligent, connected and differentiated products; and</li><li>Enable Massimo to enter the high-growth AI health robotics market, where FST already delivers medical-grade hardware and predictive health algorithms.</li></ul>Management Commentary&#34;This transaction represents more than an acquisition—it is a strategic transformation,&#34; said David Shan, Chief Executive Officer of Massimo Group. &#34;By bringing FST fully into the Massimo organization, we are combining our legacy of rugged, reliable vehicles with advanced AI-driven systems and software intelligence. Our objective is to make outdoor experiences safer, health monitoring more proactive, and advanced technology more accessible, while maintaining disciplined execution and long-term value creation.&#34;FST's Chief Executive Officer added, &#34;Becoming part of Massimo will provide us with a powerful platform to scale our technology from individual modules to fully integrated ecosystems. With Massimo's operational strength and global reach, our hardware-software innovations can be deployed faster and at significantly greater scale.&#34;Timeline and ConditionsThe LOI provides for a 60-day exclusivity period during which the parties will conduct confirmatory due diligence and negotiate definitive transaction documents.
