Operating conditions and business development
Your company, as you well know, carries out its activity in the field of experimental research for the development of nanoparticles in order to create photovoltaic windows with LSC technology.
2021 was a very busy year, despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The certification activity of the transparent photovoltaic insulating double glazing product, which began in 2020, ended, as regards the IEC 61730 certification, of electrical safety, in January 2021. In the first months of 2021, an Extraordinary Assembly of shareholders who unanimously approved a paid capital increase in "crowdlisting", in collaboration with the OpStart platform, setting the placement price of the shares at € 48 each, and provided for an initial phase lasting 1 month in which the price was deliberately reduced to € 40 to favor shareholders already present in the company (early bird booking). The collection ended at the end of May 2021 with a good success: € 2,224M were raised both from shareholders and from new investors.
The operation, as resolved by the shareholders' meeting, has set the goal of listing on the stock exchange as its ultimate goal. Between September and December 2021, with the support of the listing sponsor Pairstech ltd, the company created and finalized all the documentation for the listing on Euronext Paris, Access Plus segment. Given the strong criticality in France for COVID in autumn 2021, there are state of the delays in the analysis of the documentation and in the acceptance of the same to define the start of the exchanges, which took place in mid-February 2022.
Between September 2021 and February 2022 a series of preparatory activities for the listing were developed, such as the contract with the registrar Spafid (a company of the Mediobanca Group), for the dematerialization of the shares on MonteTitoli which closely involved all the shareholders,
From the point of view of production, most of the efforts have been devoted to the development of the first industrial reactor in Rovereto, which once fully operational will have a potential production capacity of over 200g. of nanoparticles per day. Further details on the technical-production side of the company are provided in the following paragraph of the "Foreseeable evolution of management".

Important strides have been made with PMMA producers.
The new equipment for welding and gluing the photovoltaic strips on the edge of the slabs has been purchased and the second has already been delivered by the supplier.
Preliminary pre-tests were initiated for obtaining certifications as a building product (EU 1279) and those relating to electrical quality (IEC 61215). The former did not show any particular criticalities, even if it was nevertheless decided to replace the containing elements of the PMMA sheet, originally foreseen in plastic material, with similar metal elements to ensure even greater resistance to the penetration of atmospheric gas / humidity. The situation relating to IEC 61215 is more complex, which will be reanalyzed after the machines for industrial cell gluing are put into operation. These tests involved a very significant commitment of all the technical structures.
From a marketing point of view, Glass to Power has participated in numerous Italian trade fairs of great importance, including SAIE Bari at the beginning of October, Ecomondo Key Energy in Rimini at the end of the same month of October and, immediately after, the Vitrum Life fair in Milan.
From a commercial point of view, the structure has begun to take its first steps and has concluded an interesting first contract with the company Domutopia S.r.l. of Lissone (MB) worth almost 1M €, a contract that will be developed in the course of 2022, although the activity has not yet started due to the client's problems that have slowed down the road map provided for by the contractual agreement. Prudentially, no revenues have been forecast on this contract as, at the moment, there is no visibility on the probabilities of its real development.
Other important initiatives and awards were:
Social, political and trade union climate
Despite the numerous restrictions imposed, the pandemic has not affected the relaxed social climate, proactive and inclined to improve the company. The parties experienced the emergency situation as a transitory moment with the aim of limiting the damage and laying the foundations for a desired restart.
Management trend in the sectors in which the company operates
The past year was partly conditioned by the emergency situation of last year which slowed down the development program for laboratory work.
