NAPLES, FL / ACCESS Newswire / August 12, 2026 / Rain Enhancement Technologies Holdco, Inc. (NASDAQ: RAIN) ("RET" or the "Company"), a leading provider of ionization rainfall generation technology, today announced business progress highlights across its operational, scientific, and commercial initiatives. The Company will host a live webcast today at 4:30 PM Eastern Time to discuss these highlights and take questions.

Business Progress Highlights

Utah pilot validation: A full winter season at RET's La Sal Mountains site near Moab, Utah showed greater than 20% Snow Water Equivalent enhancement, independently validated by Utah State University's Dr. Binod Pokharel, translating to an estimated 8,750 acre-feet of incremental water.

Colorado state-backed pilot: The Colorado Water Conservation Board, Colorado River District, and Upper Yampa Water Conservancy District have backed RET's application for a state-funded pilot in Steamboat Springs, targeting installation by October 2026.

Scientific validation: RET presented four peer-reviewed field studies at the American Meteorological Society's Madison Summit, including what it believes is the first North American field evidence that ground-based ionization increases wintertime snowpack.

International expansion: On August 5, 2026, RET signed an exclusive agreement with UASIT to market its WETA platform in Turkey, beginning with the Eğirdir Lake Basin in Isparta Province.

"A year ago, we were talking about this technology in terms of promise and potential. Today, we're talking about it in terms of results," said Randy Seidl, CEO of Rain Enhancement Technologies. "Our installs prove the technology works, and our focus now is converting that validation into orders."
