AI Chip Energy Efficiency: Hoth Therapeutics Restructures as Rocket One Inc. to Enter the AI Semiconductor Infrastructure Market with Acquisition of Exclusive Rights to Next Generation AI Semiconductor Acceleration Technology Built on Non-Volatile Nanomagnetic Semiconductor Architecture

AI Infrastructure Is Reaching a Breaking Point

Artificial intelligence has become the defining workload of modern computing, driving an unprecedented global buildout of AI data centers, autonomous systems, edge AI infrastructure, and high-performance computing environments.

But the AI industry is increasingly constrained by:

• escalating power consumption
• cooling limitations
• memory bottlenecks
• inference latency
• rising infrastructure costs

As demand for large language models, generative AI, and autonomous systems accelerates globally, the world's largest technology companies are actively searching for next-generation semiconductor architectures capable of delivering dramatically improved efficiency beyond conventional silicon approaches.

The Company believes solving these infrastructure constraints represents one of the most significant opportunities in the future of artificial intelligence.

Exclusive AI Semiconductor and Spintronic Computing Portfolio

Rocket One has secured exclusive rights to what it believes are two complementary spintronic semiconductor technologies. And
Nanomagnetic Matrix Multiplier — AI Hardware Acceleration

The Company secured exclusive rights to 
"A compact, low-energy, non-volatile nanomagnetic matrix multiplier as a hardware accelerator for machine learning and artificial intelligence."

Matrix multiplication is the foundational operation underlying virtually all modern AI workloads, including transformer architectures powering large language models and generative artificial intelligence systems.

The licensed architecture is designed to support:

• ultra-low-power AI acceleration
• next-generation AI inference
• advanced memory efficiency
• edge AI systems
• intelligent autonomous platforms
• distributed AI infrastructure

The second technology utilizes electron spin rather than conventional charge-based semiconductor approaches and is intended to address growing energy efficiency constraints in AI computing infrastructure.

Spintronic Memory Platform — Defense, Autonomous Systems, and Space Computing

Rocket One secured exclusive rights to spintronic memory technologies designed for advanced computing and information processing applications with potential relevance to:

• radiation-tolerant computing
• defense infrastructure
• autonomous aerospace systems
• resilient edge compute
• orbital AI environments
• next-generation intelligent systems

The Company believes the same underlying spintronic physics supporting AI acceleration may also provide long-term opportunities across defense and space-based computing infrastructure markets.

Building an AI Infrastructure Platform

The Company intends to pursue a capital-efficient growth strategy focused on:

• semiconductor infrastructure partnerships
• AI hardware commercialization
• sponsored research
• strategic acquisitions
• defense and aerospace opportunities
• advanced compute infrastructure
• intelligent edge systems

The Company also plans to expand leadership with expertise spanning:

• semiconductor operations
• AI infrastructure
• advanced computing architectures
• defense technologies
• high-performance computing

Management Commentary

"Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming every major industry, but the infrastructure powering AI is approaching critical energy and efficiency limits," said Robb Knie, Chief Executive Officer.
"We believe next-generation semiconductor architectures capable of dramatically improving power efficiency, memory performance, and intelligent computing scalability represent one of the largest opportunities in global technology today. Rocket One is being built to position the Company to participate in the future of AI infrastructure."

Biotechnology Operations Continue Under Subsidiary Structure

The Company 's is exploring placing its biotechnology pipeline and therapeutic development programs under a separate, wholly owned subsidiary with dedicated management and operational resources. The restructuring is intended to preserve the value of the biotechnology portfolio for shareholders while enabling the parent company to pursue emerging opportunities in AI semiconductor infrastructure and advanced computing technologies.
