[Management \| Daniele Fregonese]() (biography) ## Contributions and company outcomes ### Sales activity and pipeline expanded, while recognized sales remained modest [daniele-fregonese-aem-sales] Six months to 30 June 2026; pipeline at 30 June; H2 guidance 21 September · issuer reported · medium materiality AEM’s June 2026 interim report records sales of 12.5 tonnes for A$459,518 and a 210-project, un-risked pipeline at 30 June. Its September deck lists 18 commercial relationships and forecasts 40–60 tonnes of second-half sales. Pipeline and forecasts are not completed sales; filings do not attribute the outcomes to Fregonese individually. **Attribution:** Role overlaps event; causation unproven. Fregonese leads sales and marketing, but no source establishes that he personally produced the pipeline or sales results. **Relevance:** Directly relevant to commercial conversion and customer qualification.

His current role directly concerns customer conversion, but the biography gives no dates or independently quantified product-launch outcomes. **Attribution:** Responsibility not applicable. The suitability inference is based on issuer-reported career claims and does not establish individual sales performance. **Relevance:** Commercial conversion is central because reported first-half sales were 12.5 tonnes while additional product-tailoring equipment was still needed to support headline first-stage capacity.
