As we move into the second quarter of 2026, we remain confident that our focus on efficiency will continue to deliver long-term value to our shareholders.” Fusion Fuel and QIND Transaction Update As previously announced in November 2024, Fusion Fuel acquired a controlling interest in QIND, representing the first completed transaction between the two companies.
