Current Report No. 12/2026 of 29 May 2026

The Management Board of VIGO Photonics S.A. (the "Company", the "Issuer") hereby informs that it has received information regarding the selection of the Issuer's project titled "Detectors and integrated detection modules for industrial and medical applications adapted for surface mounting" (the "Project") for inclusion on the List of projects selected for funding under Priority V of the European Funds for a Modern Economy Programme 2021-2027.

The STEP call – Path A: digital technologies and deep tech innovations, is aimed at the development of critical technologies and technologies intended to protect and strengthen the respective value chains of critical technologies within the digital technologies and deep tech innovations sector.

The Project will be implemented by a scientific-industrial consortium led by VIGO Photonics. The Military University of Technology (Wojskowa Akademia Techniczna) will act as the consortium member.

The total amount of eligible costs of the Project is PLN 17,990,590.34, while the funding amount is PLN 12,082,892.69, which constitutes 67.16% of the total eligible costs. The Issuer's eligible costs amount to PLN 16,332,340.34, and the funding for the Company amounts to PLN 10,424,642.69.The duration of the Project, as well as the funding period, is 36 months. The implementation of the Project will commence on July 1, 2026.

The objective of the project "Detectors and integrated detection modules for industrial and medical applications adapted for surface mounting" is to develop new products in the form of a family of mid-infrared (3-5 µm) sensors adapted for surface mounting: uncooled detectors made of III-V materials and complete detection modules (detector + readout circuit) utilizing dedicated application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), eliminating traditional wire bonding methods in favor of SMD surface micro-assembly. These will include:

-Detectors and integrated detection modules with a detector optimized for a wavelength of 3.3 µm, adapted for surface mounting.

-Detectors and integrated detection modules with a detector optimized for a wavelength of 5.0 µm, adapted for surface mounting.

SMD surface-mount detectors are used in fields requiring high-volume production and high sensitivity, primarily in gas detection and analysis, as well as safety systems (fire and carbon monoxide detectors). The key advantage of SMD packaging is the possibility of automating soldering on printed circuit boards (PCBs), which makes them a cost-effective solution for mass applications.

Taking into account the value of the obtained funding, the Issuer assesses that it will be of significant importance from the perspective of the Issuer's financial position, strategy implementation, and development prospects.
