Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Global Gas Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “Global Gas”), is a nascent pure-play hydrogen and carbon recovery project developer and industrial gas supplier. Global Gas intends to offer customers reliable, low-carbon and clean hydrogen, pure carbon dioxide, and other gases generated from a variety of feedstocks. Global Gas’ planned activities involve (i) the sourcing, identification, evaluation and vetting of offtake customers seeking to purchase industrial gases, (ii) the securing of local feedstocks, equipment, and utilities, (iii) the planning and management of projects and (iv) the structuring and financing of projects. Global Gas targets both privately- and publicly funded hydrogen development and selected carbon recovery projects, including projects supported by local-, county-, state-, and national-level governments in North America, Western Europe, and Great Britain.

Global Gas intends to serve traditional industrial gas customers and is particularly focused on plans to serve the rapidly growing hydrogen-as-energy-carrier market for use in hydrogen fuel-cell powered vehicles. Global Gas’ growth strategy is based on its developing ability to place modular generation, recovery, storage, and dispense solutions in closer geographic proximity to end customers — onsite in many cases — and its developing ability to produce and sell multiple outputs from a single feedstock input. Additionally, governments at all levels in North America and Western Europe have and are deploying substantial incentives to mitigate the impact of climate change and to decarbonize their economies. Global Gas believes it is well-placed to benefit as a developer of projects eligible for several of these incentives, such as the hydrogen tax production credits and the investment tax credits made available in the United States through the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”).

On December 22, 2023, the Company received a notice (the “Notice”) from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq indicating that, unless the Company timely requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), the Company’s securities (common stock and warrants) would be subject to suspension and delisting from Nasdaq on January 3, 2024, due to the Company’s failure to satisfy the initial listing standards of The Nasdaq Capital Market upon closing of the Company’s previously announced business combination in accordance with Nasdaq Rule 5101-2. Specifically, the Company was unable to demonstrate compliance with the Stockholders Equity, Publicly Held Shares, Market Value of Listed Securities and Market Value of Publicly Held Shares requirements set forth in Nasdaq Rule 5505. The Company timely requested a hearing before the Panel, which resulted in a stay of any suspension or delisting action pending the hearing. The Company was granted until June 20, 2024 to demonstrate compliance with the above-referenced listing rules but was unable to do so by such date. As a result, on June 21, 2024, the Company received notice that the Panel had determined to delist the Company’s securities from Nasdaq and would suspend trading in its securities on the exchange effective at the open of business on June 25, 2024. Since the delisting, the Company’s common stock and warrants have been trading on the over-the-counter “OTC” market, OTCQB, with trading symbol “HGAS” and “HGASW”, respectively.

Business Combination

On December 21, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), Global Gas Corporation (formerly known as Dune Acquisition Corporation) (prior to the Effective Time (as defined below), “Dune” and after the Effective Time, the “Company”), consummated the previously-announced business combination pursuant to that certain Unit Purchase Agreement, dated May 14, 2023 (as amended on August 22, 2023 and as further amended on November 24, 2023, the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among Dune, Global Gas Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Dune (“Holdings”), Global Hydrogen Energy LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Global Hydrogen”), and William Bennett Nance, Jr., Sergio Martinez and Barbara Guay Martinez (collectively, the “Sellers”), the equity holders of Global Hydrogen.

In connection with the closing of such business combination, the registrant changed its name from Dune Acquisition Corporation to Global Gas Corporation.

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement and the other transactions contemplated thereby (the “Business Combination”), at the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”) on December 21, 2023, (a) Dune contributed to Holdings all of its assets (excluding its interests in Holdings and the aggregate amount of cash proceeds required to satisfy redemptions by Dune’s public stockholders (“Stockholder Redemptions”)), and in exchange therefor, Holdings issued to Dune a number of common equity units of Holdings (“Holdings Common Units”) which equal the number of total shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), of Dune issued and outstanding immediately after the Closing (giving effect to all Stockholder Redemptions) (such transactions, the “SPAC Contribution”) and (b) immediately after the SPAC Contribution, the Sellers transferred, conveyed, assigned and delivered all of the limited liability company equity interests of Global Hydrogen (“Global Hydrogen Units”) to Holdings in exchange for shares of Class B voting non-economic common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), of Dune and Holdings Common Units (together with the SPAC Contribution, the “Combination Transactions”), as a result of which, (i) each issued and outstanding Global Hydrogen Unit immediately prior to the Combination Transactions is now held by Holdings, (ii) each Seller received an aggregate number of Holdings Common Units and shares of Class B Common Stock, in each case, equal to the number of Global Hydrogen Units held by such Seller, multiplied by the applicable exchange ratio, and (iii) Dune changed its name to Global Gas Corporation and the Company became the publicly traded reporting company. The effective time of the Business Combination on the Closing Date is referred to as the “Effective Time.”

The Business Combination was accomplished through what is commonly referred to as an “Up-C” structure, which is often used by partnerships and limited liability companies undertaking an initial public offering. The “Up-C” structure allowed the Sellers, who became equity holders of Holdings upon the consummation of the Combination Transactions, to retain their equity ownership in Holdings, an entity that is classified as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes, in the form of Holdings Common Units after the Closing, and provides potential future tax benefits for both the Company and Holdings’ equity holders (other than the Company) when they ultimately exchange their Holdings Common Units.

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, at the Closing, the issued and outstanding Global Hydrogen Units of each Seller were transferred, conveyed, assigned and delivered in exchange for (i) a number of shares of Class B Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the number of Global Hydrogen Units held by such Seller and (y) the exchange ratio determined by dividing (A) the quotient of $43,000,000 divided by the number of Global Hydrogen Units issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing by (B) $10.00 per share and (ii) a number of Holdings Common Units equal to the number of shares of Class B Common Stock received by such Seller pursuant to clause (i) hereof.

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, although Dune acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Global Hydrogen in the Business Combination, Dune was treated as the “acquired” company and Global Hydrogen was treated as the accounting acquirer for financial statement reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Global Hydrogen issuing stock for the net assets of Dune, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Dune were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination were those of Global Hydrogen.

In connection with the Business Combination, on December 1, 2023, Dune and Global Hydrogen entered into a forward purchase agreement (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”) with each of Meteora Strategic Capital, LLC (“MSC”), Meteora Capital Partners, LP (“MCP”) and Meteora Select Trading Opportunities Master, LP (“MSTO” and, collectively with MSC and MCP, the “Meteora Entities”) for an OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Sellers purchased 258,934 shares of Dune Class A Common Stock (the “Recycled Shares”) directly from the redeeming stockholders of Dune. Also on the Closing Date, the Company paid to the Sellers a prepayment amount of $2.6 million required under the Forward Purchase Agreement directly from the trust account and transferred to the Sellers 939,614 shares of Dune Class A Common Stock (the “Share Consideration”). See Note 6, “Stockholders Equity” for more details about the Forward Purchase Agreement.

In connection with the Forward Purchase Agreement, Dune entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with the Meteora Entities. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Meteora Entities agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and Dune agreed to issue and sell to the Meteora Entities, on the Closing Date,681,220 shares of Class A Common Stock in the aggregate (the “PIPE Shares”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Company gave certain registration rights to the Meteora Entities with respect to the PIPE Shares. The sale of the PIPE Shares was consummated concurrently with the Closing.

On March 4, 2024, Global Gas entered into forfeiture agreements (the “Forfeiture Agreements”) with each of Sergio Martinez, Barbara Guay Martinez and William Bennett Nance, Jr., pursuant to which such individuals forfeited an aggregate of 1,600,000 shares of Class B Common Stock (collectively, the “Forfeitures”).

The rights of holders of our Class A Common Stock and Warrants are governed by our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Charter”), our amended and restated bylaws (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”) and the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), and in the case of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants, the Warrant Agreement dated as of December 17, 2020, between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), as warrant agent.

On May 14, 2023, Dune, Dune Acquisition Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), and each of the Sellers entered into a lock-up agreement (the “Lock-up Agreement”), which became effective as of the Closing. Under the Lock-up Agreement, the Sponsor and the Sellers agreed to certain restrictions on transfer with respect to the shares of Company common stock and private placement warrants they hold as of the Closing, which restrictions amend and supersede the restrictions on transfer the Sponsor agreed to in that certain letter agreement, dated December 17, 2020, entered into by and among Dune, the Sponsor and Dune’s officers and directors in connection with Dune’s initial public offering (the “IPO”). The restrictions on transfer contained in the Lock-up Agreement apply to the Sellers and the existing equity holders of the Sponsor, and: (i) end, with respect to shares of Company common stock, on the earlier of twelve (12) months after (and excluding) the Closing Date and the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization, bankruptcy or other similar transaction that results in all of the shares of Company common stock being converted into cash, securities or other property; and (ii) ended, with respect to the Company’s private placement warrants, thirty (30) days after the Closing Date.

2. LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN

Going Concern

Since inception, the Company’s primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from contributions from a member and a related party and from revenue from customers. The Company had $48,713 in cash, a working capital deficit of $280,160, and an accumulated deficit of $422,472 as of December 31, 2025.

The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the Company’s revenue growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support further sales and marketing and research and development efforts. In order to finance these opportunities, the Company will need to raise additional financing. While there can be no assurances, the Company intends to raise such capital through issuances of additional equity. If additional financing is required from outside sources, the Company may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital when desired, the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected.

As a result of the above, in connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) ASC Subtopic 205-40, “Going Concern,” management has determined that the Company’s liquidity condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through twelve months from the date these consolidated financial statements are available to be issued. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of accounting

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”).

Principles of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, all wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling voting interest and, when applicable, variable interest entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary. Investments in affiliates where the Company does not exert a controlling financial interest are not consolidated.

All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

This may make comparison of the Company’s consolidated financial statements with those of another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are adjusted to reflect actual experience when necessary. Significant accounting estimates included in these financial statements are the determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Segment Information

ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” (“ASC 280”), defines operating segments as components of an enterprise where discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is thechairman, who has ultimate responsibility for the operating performance of the Company and the allocation of resources. The CODM reviews the assets, operating results, and financial metrics for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that there is onlyone reportable segment. The CODM assesses performance for the single reportable segment and decides how to allocate resources based on operating expenses that also is reported on the statements of operations as net income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews several key metrics included in operating expenses and cash.

Operating expenses, inclusive of revenue, general and administrative costs and sales and marketing costs, are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to fund operations. The CODM also reviews operating expenses to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements. The categories of operating expenses, as reported on the statements of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis.

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000, and investments held in the trust account. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents is comprised of cash in the bank which is subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At December 31 2025 and December 31, 2024, cash amounted to $48,713 and $114,146, respectively. There wereno cash equivalents at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Fair value measurements

Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The authoritative guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based upon the best information available in the circumstances. The categorization of financial assets and liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels:

●Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
●Level 2: Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
●Level 3: Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability.

The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, such as accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The fair value of debt instruments for which the Company has not elected fair value accounting is based on the present value of expected future cash flows and assumptions about the then-current market interest rates as of the reporting period and the creditworthiness of the Company. All of the Company’s debt is carried on the consolidated balance sheet on a historical cost basis net of unamortized discounts and premiums because the Company has not elected the fair value option of accounting.

Prior Period Reclassification

The Company reclassified $144,000 from deposit to contract liabilities on the accompanying balance sheets as at December 31, 2024, to conform with the net basis presentation of revenue.

Stock - Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 718. The Company issues restricted stock to employees and officers. Cost for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments issued at the date of grant.

The Company reviews the terms of warrants to purchase its common stock to determine whether warrants should be classified as liabilities or stockholders’ deficit in its consolidated balance sheets. In order for a warrant to be classified in stockholders’ deficit, the warrant must be (i) indexed to the Company’s equity and (ii) meet the conditions for equity classification.

If a warrant does not meet the conditions for stockholders’ deficit classification, it is carried on the consolidated balance sheets as a warrant liability measured at fair value, with subsequent changes in the fair value of the warrant recorded in other non-operating losses (gains) in the consolidated statements of operations. If a warrant meets both conditions for equity classification, the warrant is initially recorded, at its relative fair value on the date of issuance, in stockholders’ deficit in the consolidated balance sheets, and the amount initially recorded is not subsequently remeasured at fair value.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue through the resale of products. The Company considers customer agreements and purchase orders to be the contracts with the customer. There is a single performance obligation, which is the Company’s promise to transfer the Company’s product to customers based on specific payment and shipping terms in the arrangement. The entire transaction price is allocated to this single performance obligation. Product revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of the product. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products either upon receipt of the product or as defined in the contract. The Company on a net basis as an agent. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, $0 and $207,436, respectively, were received as advanced payment for products being sourced, of which $0 and $207,436 and made deposits to vendor of $0 and $144,000 which is included on a net basis in contract liabilities at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively on the consolidated balance sheets. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the company recognized $33,012 and$0 of revenue on a net basis as it was determined that the Company was acting as an agent in the contract.

Income taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (“Topic 740”): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions. The standard was effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this accounting pronouncement. There was no material effect on the Company consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosure (DISE), requiring additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the consolidated statements of operations. The new standard requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the statements of operations as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027.

Forward Purchase Agreement

As discussed in Note 1, in connection with the Business Combination, on December 1, 2023, Dune and Global Hydrogen entered into a forward purchase agreement (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”) with each of (i) Meteora Strategic Capital, LLC (“MSC”), (ii) Meteora Capital Partners, LP (“MCP”) and (iii) Meteora Select Trading Opportunities Master, LP (“MSTO” and, collectively with MSC and MCP, the “Seller”) for an OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transaction. For purposes of the Forward Purchase Agreement, Dune is referred to as the “Counterparty” prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, while Global Gas Corporation is referred to as the “Counterparty” after the consummation of the Business Combination. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Forward Purchase Agreement.

The Company accounts for the forward purchase agreement as a derivative in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”, and presented in equity at December 31, 2025 and 2024 on the consolidated balance sheets.

On February 5, 2024, the Company and the Seller entered into an amendment to the Forward Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment amends the section of the Forward Purchase Agreement regarding a Prepayment Shortfall by providing that the Company has the option, at its sole discretion, at any time up to 45 days prior to the Valuation Date, to request up to $5 million in Prepayment Shortfall via twenty separate written requests to Seller in the amount of $250,000 each (each, an “Additional Shortfall Request”), provided that at the time of any Additional Shortfall Request (i) Seller has recovered 110% of the prior Additional Shortfall Request, if any, via Shortfall Sales and (ii) the VWAP Price over the five trading days prior to such Additional Shortfall Request multiplied by the then current Number of Shares less Shortfall Sale Shares held by Seller is at least 2.625 times greater than such Additional Shortfall Request. In addition, the Amendment amends the section of the Forward Purchase Agreement regarding Prepayment Shortfall Consideration by eliminating the 180-day period following a Trade Date before Seller may commence selling Recycled Shares and by permitting such sales without payment by Seller of any Early Termination Obligation until such time as the proceeds from such sales equal 110% (instead of 100% as originally provided in the Forward Purchase Agreement) of the Prepayment Shortfall. Finally, the Amendment amends the section of the Forward Purchase Agreement regarding Share Consideration by amending the holding period to equal the earlier of (i) Seller recovering 110% of the first Additional Shortfall Request and (ii) the three-month anniversary of the Business Combination (as defined in the Forward Purchase Agreement) (instead of just a three-month holding period).

Pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, the Seller intended, but was not obligated, to purchase up to 950,000 shares minus the Share Consideration Shares (as defined below) (the “Maximum Number of Shares”) of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Dune (“Dune Class A Common Stock”) substantially concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination, less the number of shares of Dune Class A Common Stock purchased by Seller separately from third parties through a broker in the open market (“Recycled Shares”) prior to the closing of the Business Combination. Seller shall not be required to purchase an amount of Dune Class A Common Stock such that following such purchase, the Seller’s ownership would exceed 9.9% of the total Dune Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such purchase, unless Seller, at its sole discretion, waives such 9.9% ownership limitation. The Number of Shares subject to the Forward Purchase Agreement is subject to reduction following a termination of the Forward Purchase Agreement with respect to such shares of Dune Class A Common Stock as described under “Optional Early Termination” in the Forward Purchase Agreement. Seller intended to purchase Dune Class A Common Stock pursuant to its FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreement (as defined below) and from third parties (other than Counterparty) through a broker in the open market (other than through Counterparty).

The Forward Purchase Agreement provides that Seller would be paid directly an aggregate cash amount (the “Prepayment Amount”) equal to the product of (i) the Number of Shares as set forth in each Pricing Date Notice and (ii) the redemption price per share (the “Initial Price”) as defined in Section 9.2(a) of Dune’s Amended and Restated Charter, less (iii) an amount in US dollars equal to 0.5% of the product of the Recycled Shares and the Initial Price paid by Seller to Counterparty on the Prepayment Date (which amount shall be netted from the Prepayment Amount) (the “Prepayment Shortfall”).

The Counterparty would pay to Seller the Prepayment Amount required under the Forward Purchase Agreement directly from the Counterparty’s trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company holding the net proceeds of the sale of the units in the Counterparty’s initial public offering and the sale of private placement warrants (the “Trust Account”) no later than the earlier of (a) one business day after the date of the Business Combination closing (the “Closing Date”) and (b) the date any assets from the Trust Account are disbursed in connection with the Business Combination, except that to the extent the Prepayment Amount payable to a Seller is to be paid from the purchase of Additional Shares by such Seller pursuant to the terms of its FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreement, such amount will be netted against such proceeds, with such Seller being able to reduce the purchase price for the Additional Shares by the Prepayment Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, any Additional Shares purchased by a Seller will be included in the Number of Shares for its respective Forward Purchase Agreement for all purposes, including for determining the Prepayment Amount.

In addition to the Prepayment Amount, the Counterparty will pay directly from the Trust Account, on the Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the product of (x) up to 80,000 (with such final amount to be determined by Seller in its sole discretion via written notice to Counterparty) and (y) the Initial Price. The Shares purchased with the Share Consideration (the “Share Consideration Shares”) will be incremental to the Maximum Number of Shares, will not be included in the Number of Shares in the Transaction and will be subject to a three-month holding period.

The reset price (the “Reset Price”) will be $10.00; provided, however, that the Reset Price will be reduced immediately to any lower price at which the Counterparty sells, issues or grants any Dune Class A Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into Dune Class A Common Stock (excluding any secondary transfers) (a “Dilutive Offering”), then the Reset Price shall be modified to equal such reduced price as of such date (subject to certain customary exceptions).

From time to time and on any date following the Trade Date (any such date, an “OET Date”), Seller may, in its absolute discretion, terminate its Forward Purchase Agreement in whole or in part by providing written notice to the Counterparty (the “OET Notice”), by the later of (a) the fifth business day following the OET Date and (b) no later than the next Payment Date following the OET Date (which shall specify the quantity by which the Number of Shares shall be reduced (such quantity, the “Terminated Shares”)); provided that “Terminated Shares” includes only such quantity of Shares by which the Number of Shares is to be reduced and included in an OET Notice and does not include any other Share sales, Shortfall Sale Shares or sales of Shares that are designated as Shortfall Sales (which designation can be made only up to the amount of Shortfall Sale proceeds), any Share Consideration sales or any other Shares, whether or not sold, which shares will not be included in any OET Notice when calculating the number of Terminated Shares. The effect of an OET Notice shall be to reduce the Number of Shares by the number of Terminated Shares specified in such OET Notice with effect as of the related OET Date. As of each OET Date, the Counterparty shall be entitled to an amount from the Seller, and the Seller shall pay to the Counterparty an amount, equal to the product of (x) the number of Terminated Shares and (y) the Reset Price in respect of such OET Date, except that no such amount will be due to Counterparty upon any Shortfall Sale. The payment date may be changed within a quarter at the mutual agreement of the parties.

From time to time and on any date following the Trade Date (any such date, a “Shortfall Sale Date”) Seller may, in its absolute discretion, at any sales price, sell Shortfall Sale Shares, and in connection with such sales, Seller shall provide written notice to Counterparty (the “Shortfall Sale Notice”) no later than the later of (a) the fifth business day following the Shortfall Sale Date and (b) the first Payment Date after the Shortfall Sale Date, specifying the quantity of the Shortfall Sale Shares and the allocation of the Shortfall Sale proceeds. Seller shall not have any Early Termination Obligation in connection with any Shortfall Sales. The Counterparty covenants and agrees for a period of at least sixty (60) business days (commencing on the Prepayment Date or if an earlier Registration Request is submitted by Seller on the Registration Statement Effective Date) not to issue, sell or offer or agree to sell any Shares, or securities or debt that is convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Shares, including under any existing or future equity line of credit, until the Shortfall Sales equal the Prepayment Shortfall; provided, however, that the Forward Purchase Agreement does not prohibit the issuance of any securities issued, assumed or issuable in connection with the Business Combination.

Unless and until the proceeds from Shortfall Sales equal 100% of the Prepayment Shortfall, in the event that the product of (x) the difference between (i) the number of Shares as specified in the Pricing Date Notice(s), less (ii) any Shortfall Sale Shares as of such measurement time, multiplied by (y) the VWAP Price, is less than (z) the difference between (i) the Prepayment Shortfall, less (ii) the proceeds from Shortfall Sales as of such measurement time (the “Shortfall Variance”), then the Counterparty, as liquidated damages in respect of such Shortfall Variance, at its option shall within five (5) business days either:

(A) pay in cash an amount equal to the Shortfall Variance; or

(B) issue and deliver to Seller such number of additional Shares that are equal to (1) the Shortfall Variance, divided by (2)90% of the VWAP Price (the “Shortfall Variance Shares”).

The Forward Purchase Agreement matures on, and the “Valuation Date” will be, the earliest to occur of (a) three (3) years after of the Closing Date, (b) the date specified by a Seller in a written notice to be delivered to the Counterparty at a Seller’s discretion (which Valuation Date shall not be earlier than the day such notice is effective) after the occurrence of any of (v) a Shortfall Variance Registration Failure, (w) a VWAP Trigger Event, (x) a Delisting Event, (y) a Registration Failure or (z) unless otherwise specified therein, upon any Additional Termination Event, and (c) the date specified by Seller in a written notice to be delivered to Counterparty at Seller’s sole discretion (which Valuation Date shall not be earlier than the day such notice is effective).

On the Cash Settlement Payment Date, which is the tenth business day following the last day of the Valuation Period commencing on the Valuation Date, a Seller shall pay the Counterparty a cash amount equal to either: (1) in the event that the Valuation Date is determined by clause (c) of the Valuation Date definition, a cash amount equal to (A) the Number of Shares as of the Valuation Date, multiplied by (B) the closing price per share of the Dune Class A Common Stock on the business day immediately preceding the Valuation Date, or (2) (A) the Number of Shares as of the Valuation Date less the number of Unregistered Shares, multiplied by (B) the volume-weighted daily VWAP Price over the Valuation Period. The Settlement Amount Adjustment is equal to (1) the Maximum Number of Shares as of the Valuation Date multiplied by (2) $1.50 per share, and the Settlement Amount Adjustment will be automatically netted from the Settlement Amount. If the Settlement Amount Adjustment exceeds the Settlement Amount, the Counterparty will pay the Seller in Dune Class A Common Stock or, at the Counterparty’s election, in cash.

Seller has agreed to waive any redemption rights under the Amended and Restated Charter with respect to any Dune Class A Common Stock purchased through the FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreement and any Recycled Shares in connection with the Business Combination. Such waiver may reduce the number of Dune Class A Common Stock redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, and such reduction could alter the perception of the potential strength of the Business Combination. The Forward Purchase Agreement has been structured, and all activity in connection with such agreement has been undertaken, to comply with the requirements of all tender offer regulations applicable to the Business Combination, including Rule 14e-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Seller cannot tender any shares in any public tender offer for a period of eight months after the Closing Date.

On December 1, 2023, Dune entered into a subscription agreement (the “FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreement”) with the Seller. Pursuant to the FPA Funding Amount PIPE Subscription Agreement, the Seller party thereto agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and Dune agreed to issue and sell to the Seller, on the Closing Date, an aggregate number of shares of Dune Class A Common Stock equal to the Maximum Number of Shares less the Recycled Shares in connection with the Forward Purchase Agreement (subject to the 9.9% ownership limitation described above).

As of December 31, 2024, the Company determined that due to uncertainty of additional cash receipts under the Forward Purchase Agreement as a result of the significant decrease in stock price, the balance of $2,333,141 related to the Forward Purchase Agreement was written off in equity.

Forfeiture Agreements

On March 4, 2024, the Company entered into the Forfeiture Agreements with certain holders of the Company’s Class B common stock. Pursuant to the Forfeiture Agreements, such holders forfeited an aggregate of 1,600,000 shares. On August 19, 2025, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with such holders pursuant to which such holders forfeited an aggregate of 2,700,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock. As a result, the Company no longer has any shares of Class B common stock outstanding.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had approximately $682,532 and $689,292 of net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards that may be available to offset future federal taxable income indefinitely. The utilization of NOL carryforwards to offset future taxable income may be subject to limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state statutes as a result of ownership changes that could occur in the future. If necessary, the deferred tax assets will be reduced by any carryforward that expires prior to utilization as a result of such limitations, with a corresponding reduction of the valuation allowance.

In assessing the realization of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. After consideration of all of the information available, management believes that significant uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of the deferred tax assets and has therefore established a full valuation allowance. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the change in the valuation allowance was $2,636. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the change in the valuation allowance was $161,412.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

In the normal course of business, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings. While the ultimate results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not expect them to have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Refund of Delaware franchise taxes

In 2023 and 2024, the Company made estimated interim quarterly payments to the State of Delaware for franchise taxes. At the close of the Business Combination, the assets of the Company were significantly lower resulting in a lower than expected franchise tax payable for the years. In 2024, the Company refiled the 2023 Delaware franchise tax return without recording the anticipated refund due to an expected lengthy processing time and uncertainty. In April 2025, the Company received $202,173 in refunds which is included in other income in the consolidated statements of operations.
