Strengthening Ties with Yamaguchi Heavy Industries Through AGS Consulting

Aiming High: Listing on the Texas Stock Exchange by 2030
Looking ahead, American Katerra is committed to achieving a significant milestone: listing on the Texas Stock Exchange (TXSE) by 2030. The TXSE, set to launch trading in early 2026 and host its first listings by the end of that year, represents a new era in U.S. capital markets. Based in Dallas, this fully electronic platform aims to revitalize competition for issuers and create a premier venue for trading, aligning with our vision for long-term success in the American market. By targeting this exchange, we position ourselves to access dynamic funding opportunities that will fuel our innovative projects and expansion.
Leveraging the One Big Beautiful Bill for U.S. Investments
The recent enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill under the Trump administration presents substantial advantages for companies like American Katerra planning investments in U.S. infrastructure and manufacturing. Signed into law in July 2025, this sweeping legislation allocates billions for infrastructure improvements, including $1 billion to the Bureau of Reclamation for construction activities through 2034 and $9.995 billion to NASA for missions and related infrastructure. It also boosts energy dominance, enhances tax relief—such as increasing the small business deduction from 20% to 23% for entrepreneurs—and addresses border security with significant funding for waonstruction.
For American Katerra , these provisions mean enhanced opportunities to invest in domestic projects with reduced fiscal burdens and improved infrastructure support. The bill’s focus on tax cuts and energy production will lower operational costs, while infrastructure funding could directly benefit our construction initiatives, fostering a more favorable environment for growth and innovation in the U.S.
As American Katerra advances these strategies, we remain dedicated to delivering excellence in our field. Stay tuned for more updates on our journey toward a brighter, more connected future.
