ProLogium, a Next Generation Solid-State Battery Developer with 10+ Years of Proven Commercialization, to List on the Nasdaq through a Merger with Translational Development Acquisition Corp.

  • ProLogium reached commercial-scale manufacturing for solid-state batteries in 2013, later delivered the world’s first solid-state battery demo car with ENOVATE Motor in 2019. 
  • ProLogium has shipped a total of over 2.4 million battery cells to customers since 2013, of which more than 800,000 are its 3rd-generation batteries from the Gigafactory in Taiwan.
  • With a portfolio of 1,100+ patents, ProLogium has introduced its 4th-generation superfluidized inorganic solid-state battery solution with zero thermal runaway, high energy density, low temperature performance, fast charging, competitive cost, and commercial readiness.
  • Pre-money valuation of ProLogium is expected to be approximately $3.8 billion.
  • The transaction is expected to fund the scaling of the production of the company’s 4th-generation batteries and the construction of ProLogium’s new gigafactory in Dunkirk, France—an effort supported by an approved subsidy package of up to ~€1.4 billion from the Government of the French Republic.
  • ProLogium is quickly moving into growth markets, including AI data centers, aerospace, robotics, and defense, while continuing to strengthen its position in EVs.

TAIPEI, Taiwan and NEW YORK, May 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ProLogium Holding Inc. (“ProLogium” or the “Company”), a global leader in the innovation and manufacturing of next-generation solid-state batteries, and Translational Development Acquisition Corp. (“TDAC”) (Nasdaq: TDAC), a special purpose acquisition company, today announced they have entered into a definitive agreement for a business combination that would result in ProLogium becoming a publicly listed company (the “Transaction”).

Upon closing of the Transaction, the combined company will be named ProLogium Technology and is expected to be listed on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “PRLG”.

For more than two decades, ProLogium has focused on a singular mission: moving solid-state battery technology from the lab to mass production. ProLogium’s proprietary lithium ceramic battery (LCB) platform is designed to deliver significant improvements in energy density, performance and safety. The 4th-generation technology features a triple safety mechanism consisting of non-flammable electrolyte, an all-ceramic separator and an active safety mechanism embedded in superfluidized all inorganic solid-state electrolyte — marking the first battery with zero thermal runaway risk.

Vincent Yang, Founder and CEO of ProLogium, commented, 

Today marks a pivotal moment in ProLogium’s journey in accelerating the commercialization of our industry-leading solid-state batteries.

”This Transaction is expected to provide us with the capital to fund our next phase of growth — enabling us to scale the production of our 4th-generation superfluidized inorganic solid-state batteries, advance the construction of our new gigafactory in Dunkirk, France, and support our expansion into adjacent application verticals including data centers, aerospace and robotics while continuing to progress in EVs.We are excited to partner with TDAC’s best-in-class team, who shares our vision of a new energy revolution that is built with next generation solid-state batteries. Today’s Transaction is a critical step in putting our batteries in the hands of more customers, powering cutting-edge technologies and enabling a more sustainable future for all.”

Michael B. Hoffman, Chairman and CEO of TDAC, added, 

We could not be more excited to partner with Vincent and his team on bringing ProLogium to the public capital markets.

”We believe that ProLogium is the future of distributed, mission critical energy based on their technological foundation and the capabilities to supply next generation batteries at gigawatt scale. The TDAC team has been involved in the future of energy for decades, including the building of companies such as Talen Energy and Pattern Energy; we see the need for high performance distributed energy capabilities across a host of markets that are only now accessible due to the breakthrough of ProLogium’s Gen4 technology and manufacturing capabilities. ProLogium’s partnerships with some of the most impressive companies on the planet to deliver new use cases for high performance batteries demonstrate its technology leadership and we believe the company’s position as a leader in the energy future is bright.”

ProLogium’s technology leadership is built on a foundation of proprietary IP, with over 1,100 global battery patents and patent applications, and a proven track record of commercialization. The Company is currently advancing commercial applications with strategic partners in off-highway applications such as construction vehicles, and in energy applications and smart mobility markets.

Independent third-party testing further validates the differentiation of the Company’s technology: TÜV Rheinland recently confirmed a record 360 Wh/kg energy density for ProLogium’s latest battery – more than 50% above conventional batteries; and UL Solutions ARC testing verified that ProLogium’s ultra-safe all-inorganic superfluidized all inorganic solid-state battery undergoes no thermal runaway under the Heat-Wait-Seek (HWS) method, marking an industry breakthrough.

The transaction values ProLogium at approximately $3.8B on a pre-money, net cash-free basis. ProLogium will seek funding by a combination of TDAC’s cash in trust and proceeds from a targeted common equity PIPE.

The boards of directors of both ProLogium and TDAC have approved the Transaction, which is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to approval by the shareholders of both ProLogium and TDAC, regulatory approvals, and other customary closing conditions.

Additional information about the Transaction, including a copy of the business combination agreement and investor presentation, will be provided in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by TDAC with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and available at www.sec.gov.
