IperionX has announced plans to redomicile its ultimate parent company to Texas and appoint a new independent non-executive director as it aligns its corporate structure with its expanding US manufacturing operations and domestic titanium supply chain.

According to the company, the proposed redomiciliation, which remains subject to shareholder, court, regulatory, exchange and other customary approvals, is intended to align IperionX’s legal domicile and capital-markets structure with its US-based manufacturing, critical minerals and technology operations. 

In an ASX release, the company said the move is not expected to change its underlying assets, operations or strategic priorities.

IperionX said it is developing an integrated American titanium supply chain spanning domestic titanium minerals and recycled feedstocks through to titanium metal production and advanced manufactured products. 

Its operating platform includes the Atlas-Titan critical minerals project in Tennessee, titanium metal production and advanced manufacturing in Virginia, and titanium technology research and development in Utah.

The company also appointed Michael J. Loparco as an independent non-executive director, effective August 3, 2026. Loparco has more than 25 years of experience in advanced manufacturing, industrial technology and global supply chains, including senior leadership roles at Jabil Inc. and Symbotic Inc.

“IperionX brings together three capabilities that are rarely found within a single U.S. company: proprietary titanium technologies, an expanding advanced-manufacturing platform and a large-scale domestic critical minerals project,” Loparco said.

“That combination creates a compelling opportunity to build a more resilient, competitive and secure American titanium supply chain.”

Executive Chairman Todd Hannigan said Loparco’s experience in manufacturing, technology and supply chains would support the company’s next stage of growth.

“That combination of industrial, technology, commercial and capital-markets experience is directly relevant to IperionX’s next phase as we scale our U.S. manufacturing operations, expand our product capabilities and progress from capacity development into larger-scale commercialization,” Hannigan said.

Subject to final structuring and exchange approvals, IperionX expects the common stock of its proposed Texas-incorporated parent company to be listed directly on Nasdaq, replacing its existing American Depositary Shares (ADS) structure. The company said the new structure is intended to simplify investment for U.S. investors and improve access to growth capital.

Chief executive officer Taso Arima said the proposed redomiciliation would align the company’s corporate structure with its existing U.S. operations.

“The proposed redomiciliation would complete that alignment at the corporate level. It would create a simpler investment structure for U.S. investors and better position IperionX to access the capital, market visibility and strategic relationships required to scale a fully American titanium supply chain,” Arima said.

He added that the proposal “does not change our underlying business or strategy” but creates a corporate structure that better reflects the company’s existing operations and future growth plans.
