Pursuant
to Rule 425 under the Securities Act of 1933
Form
S-4 File No.: 333-256138
Subject
Company: Allied Integral United, Inc. (“Clearday”)
Date:
July 20, 2021

Dear
Superconductor Stockholder:
We
would like to take this opportunity to introduce Clearday. It is our intent to develop a premier healthcare services company that supports
elder Americans. Enclosed is the Joint Proxy and Consent Solicitation Statement / Prospectus (or Proxy) that discusses Clearday’s
proposed merger with Superconductor and information about Clearday, including our businesses and information about the growing need for
care for elder Americans. Clearday believes we can provide pathways to better care experiences. Clearday’s website is at mycleardy.com.
Please note that the information contained on Clearday’s website does not constitute part of the joint proxy and consent solicitation
statement/prospectus. Please review the enclosed Proxy, and also please note the additional information in the Proxy regarding the “true
up shares” on the first page of the attached document under “Explanatory Note”, including the example that summarizes
the combined effect of the Reverse Stock Split Proposal and the issuance of the true up shares. As explained in that section, each Superconductor
stockholder (other than a dissenting stockholder) will hold, immediately after the merger, not less than approximately 46% of the number
of shares of Superconductor Common Stock that such stockholder held immediately prior to the closing of the merger. For example, if a
Superconductor stockholder has 500 shares of Superconductor Common Stock as of immediately prior to the closing of the merger, that stockholder
will own no less than 232 shares of Superconductor Common Stock immediately after the merger is closed. Although on a stand-alone basis
the reverse stock split is nominally at a higher ratio, taking into account both the “true-up shares” and the reverse stock
split, their combined effect is equivalent to a reverse stock split that is not more than approximately 2.17 to 1. In the aggregate,
the stockholders of STI will own approximately 3.6% of the total shares of the combined company, on a fully diluted basis as determined
by the merger agreement, as of immediately after the merger is closed.
Clearday
looks forward to the proposed merger and having the Superconductor stockholders as our stockholders.

Cautionary
Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This
communication contains forward-looking statements (including within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) concerning Superconductor, Clearday, the proposed Merger, and
other matters. These statements may discuss goals, intentions and expectations as to future plans, trends, events, results of operations
or financial condition, or otherwise, based on current beliefs of the management of Superconductor, as well as assumptions made by, and
information currently available to, management. Forward-looking statements generally include statements that are predictive in nature
and depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, and include words such as “may,” “will,” “should,”
“would,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “likely,” “believe,”
“estimate,” “project,” “intend,” and other similar expressions. Statements that are not historical
facts are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and assumptions that are subject to risks
and uncertainties and are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results could differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking
statement as a result of various factors, including, without limitation: the risk that the conditions to the closing of the proposed
Merger are not satisfied, including the failure to obtain stockholder approval for the proposed Merger in a timely manner or at all;
uncertainties as to the timing of the consummation of the proposed Merger and the ability of each of Superconductor and Clearday to consummate
the Merger; risks related to Superconductor’s ability to correctly estimate and manage its operating expenses and its expenses
associated with the proposed Merger pending closing; risks related to Superconductor’s likely need to file for bankruptcy if the
Merger is not timely approved and consummated; risks related to the failure or delay in obtaining required approvals from any governmental
or quasi-governmental entity necessary to consummate the proposed Merger; risks associated with the possible failure to realize certain
anticipated benefits of the proposed Merger, including with respect to future financial and operating results; the ability of Superconductor
or Clearday to protect their respective intellectual property rights; competitive responses to the Merger and changes in expected or
existing competition; unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the proposed Merger; potential adverse reactions or changes
to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the proposed Merger; regulatory requirements or developments;
changes in capital resource requirements; and legislative, regulatory, political and economic developments. The foregoing review of important
factors that could cause actual events to differ from expectations should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction
with statements that are included herein and elsewhere, including the risk factors included in Superconductor’s most recent Annual
Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC. Superconductor can give no assurance
that the conditions to the Merger will be satisfied. Except as required by applicable law, Superconductor undertakes no obligation to
revise or update any forward-looking statement, or to make any other forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.
