PFAS RELATED CORPORATE NEWS FROM SEC FILINGS AND EARNINGS CALLS DURING THE LAST WEEK

Mercury Systems Inc. reports in November 2021, we responded to a request for information from MassDEP regarding the detection of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroakyl substances) in the Acton, Massachusetts Water District’s Conant public water supply wells near the former facility at 531 Main Street, Acton, Massachusetts at a level above the standard that MassDEP published for PFAS in October 2020. We have not been contacted by MassDEP since our response was provided in November 2021. It is too early to determine what responsibility, if any, we may have for these environmental matters.

Amazon HoldCo Inc. reports that the new combined company will draw extensively on the expertise and experience of Amemtum in the U.S. federal government contracting space particularly when it comes to environmental remediation and PFAS removal. The U.S. DOE is Amemtum's chief costumer in this market space. The US DOE budget for environmental remediation and addressing environmental/health concerns related to PFAS is estimated to be over a billion dollars in the next fiscal year.
