Current report
Any investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in the section of this document entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements.”
Current report
Our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and our stockholders may lose all or part of their investment in our securities.
Current report
Upon submission of the Company’s plan to regain compliance, the Staff granted the Company an extension until February 20, 2024 to comply with this requirement.
Current report
On February 21, 2024, the Company received a delist determination letter (the “Delist Letter”) from the Staff advising the Company that the Staff had determined that the Company did not meet the terms of the extension. Specifically, the Company did not complete its proposed transaction to regain compliance with the Equity Rule and evidence compliance on or before February 20, 2024.
Current report
The Company requested an appeal of the Staff’s determination and such hearing occurred on May 2, 2024. At the hearing, the Company presented its plan for regaining compliance with the Equity Rule and requested a further extension to complete the execution of its plan. On May 13, 2024, we received an extension until July 12, 2024, to regain compliance with the Equity Rule.
Current report
On August 30, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq confirming that the Company has (i) regained compliance with the Equity Rule, as required by the Panel’s decision dated May 13, 2024, as amended, and (ii) in application of Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), the Company will be subject to a mandatory panel monitor for a period of one year from the date of such letter. If, within that one-year monitoring period, the Staff finds that the Company is no longer in compliance with the Equity Rule, then, notwithstanding Listing Rule 5810(c)(2), the Company will not be permitted to provide Staff with a plan of compliance with respect to such deficiency and Staff will not be permitted to grant additional time for the Company to regain compliance with respect to such deficiency, nor will the Company be afforded an applicable cure or compliance period pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(c)(3). Instead, the Staff will issue a Delist Determination Letter, and the Company will have an opportunity to request a new hearing with the initial Panel or a newly convened Hearings Panel if the initial Panel is unavailable. The Company will have the opportunity to respond/ present to the Hearings Panel as provided by Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(C) and the Company’s securities may at that time be delisted from Nasdaq.
Current report
On January 10, 2025, the Company received a letter from the Staff indicating that the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq rules for continued listing because the Company has not yet held an annual meeting of stockholders within one year after the end of the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as required pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a) (the “Annual Meeting Requirement”). The Company has 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance and, if the Staff accepts the Company’s plan, the Staff can grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from December 31, 2024, or until June 30, 2025, to regain compliance. The Company plans to timely submit such a plan for the Staff’s consideration. There can be no assurance that the Staff will accept the Company’s plan to regain compliance with the Annual Meeting Requirement, or that the Company will evidence compliance with the Annual Meeting Requirement during any extension period that the Staff may grant. If the Staff does not accept the Company’s plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. Prior to receiving the deficiency letter from the Nasdaq regarding the Annual Meeting Requirement, on December 31, 2024, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A relating to its planned annual meeting of stockholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The stockholders meeting for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 was held on January 16, 2025. On January 22, 2025, the Company received a letter from the Staff of Nasdaq confirming that the Company has regained compliance with the Annual Meeting Requirement.
Current report
The Company is a “controlled company” within the meaning of the applicable rules of Nasdaq and, as a result, we qualify for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. If the Company relies on these exemptions, its stockholders will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements.
Current report
The Company is currently a “controlled company” within the meaning of the applicable rules of Nasdaq. Michael D. Farkas, the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman of NextNRG, is the holder (through NextNRG) and the beneficial owner of approximately 68.14% of the Company’s common stock and therefore controls a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding common stock and accordingly, he has the ability to determine all matters requiring approval by stockholders. As a result, we qualify for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. If the Company relies on these exemptions, which it does not intend to do, its stockholders will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirements:
Current report
While the Company does not intend to rely on these exemptions, the Company may use these exemptions now or in the future. As a result, the Company’s stockholders may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

Our License Agreement with Fuel Butler may be terminated and as such our expansion plans into the state of New York may be delayed
Previous report
On April 7, 2021, the Company entered into a Technology License Agreement with Fuel Butler LLC (“Technology Agreement”). Under the Technology Agreement, the Company licensed proprietary technology that the Company believes will allow the Company to provide its fuel service in high density areas like New York City. Fuel Butler has delivered a purported notice of termination of the Technology Agreement based on certain alleged breaches arising from our failure to issue equity securities to Fuel Butler. We have been in communications with Fuel Butler regarding the termination of the Technology Agreement and continue to believe that the Company is in compliance with the Technology Agreement and that the Technology Agreement continues to be in force. While we contest Fuel Butler’s claims of breach and contend that in fact Fuel Butler is in breach, we have communicated to Fuel Butler that we wish to terminate the Technology Agreement. We have sent a proposal to Fuel Butler whereby we will cease utilizing the Technology and Fuel Butler will return any shares it received under the Technology Agreement. However, to date, the Company has not had further communications with Fuel Butler regarding this matter. Currently, the Company does not expect to expand into the state of New York for the foreseeable future.

Risks Related to the Pending Acquisition of Next Charging
Previous report
Neither the Company’s board of directors nor any committee thereof obtained a fairness opinion (or any similar report or appraisal) in determining whether or not to pursue the acquisition of Next Charging, which is owned by the Company’s largest shareholder. Consequently, shareholders have no assurance from an independent source that the price the Company is paying for Next Charging is fair to the Company — and, by extension, its securityholders — from a financial point of view.
Previous report
Neither the Company’s board of directors nor any committee thereof is required to obtain an opinion (or any similar report) from an independent investment banking or accounting firm that the price that the Company is paying for Next Charging is fair to the Company from a financial point of view, although pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5630 the Company is required to conduct an appropriate review and oversight of all related party transactions for potential conflict of interest situations on an ongoing basis by the Company’s audit committee or another independent body of the board of directors. In analyzing the acquisition of Next Charging, the Company’s board of directors reviewed summaries of due diligence results and financial analyses prepared by management. The Company’s board of directors also consulted with legal counsel and with the Company management and considered a number of factors, uncertainty and risks and concluded that the acquisition of Next Charging was in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders. The Company’s board of directors believes that because of the professional experience and background of its directors, it was qualified to conclude that the acquisition of Next Charging was fair from a financial perspective to its stockholders. Accordingly, investors will be relying solely on the judgment of the Company’s board of directors in valuing Next Charging, and the Company’s board of directors may not have properly valued such acquisition. As a result, the terms may not be fair from a financial point of view to the public stockholders of the Company.
Previous report
If the conditions to completion of the Share Exchange are not met, the Share Exchange may not occur.
Previous report
Although the Share Exchange was approved by the stockholders of the Company and the members of Next Charging, specified conditions must be satisfied or waived to complete the Share Exchange. These conditions are described in detail in the Exchange Agreement and in addition to stockholder and member consent, include among other requirements, (i) receipt of requisite regulatory approvals and no law or order preventing the transactions, (ii) the representations and warranties of the representative of the members of Next Charging and of such members being true and correct as of the date of the Exchange Agreement and as of the Closing in all material respects, (iii) the Company having amended its Certificate of Incorporation to increase its authorized share capital and having completed and filed a listing of additional securities with Nasdaq and the waiting period thereunder shall have expired, and the Company shall have completed such additional requirements of Nasdaq such that the Share Exchange may be consummated in compliance with the rules and regulations of Nasdaq, (iv) no Material Adverse Effect with respect to Next Charging, (v) the members of the post-Closing board being elected or appointed, (vi) Next Charging shall have provided to the Company audited financial statements for Next Charging and related auditor reports thereon from a Public Company Accounting Oversight Board-registered auditor, which consents to the inclusion of its statements in SEC public filings, for each of the two most recently ended fiscal years and any other period audited or unaudited but reviewed financials are required to be included in the Company’s SEC filings following the closing pursuant to applicable law, and unaudited statements for any other required interim periods, and (vi) the stockholder approval by the Company’s stockholders shall have become effective under applicable law, including the requirement that an Information Statement on Schedule 14C shall have been disseminated to the Company’s stockholders at least 20 days prior to the closing of the Share Exchange. We anticipate the stockholder approval will become effective in January 2024. The Company and Next Charging cannot assure you that all of the conditions will be satisfied. If the conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Share Exchange may not occur, or may be delayed and such delay may cause the Company and Next Charging to each lose some or all of the intended benefits of the Share Exchange.
Previous report
The Share Exchange, if it is completed, will result in significant dilution to the Company’s stockholders.
Previous report
Pursuant to the Share Exchange, the Company will issue up to an aggregate of 100,000,000 shares of common stock to the Members of Next Charging, including 35-65 million shares that will be subject to vesting or forfeiture (see “Prospectus Summary”) pursuant to future milestones. Based on 4,516,531 shares of common stock outstanding as of January 12, 2024 and assuming (i) the issuance of 10,135,135 shares in this offering and (ii) the issuance of all 100,000,000 shares pursuant to the Share Exchange, following this offering and the closing of the Share Exchange, the Company will have 114,651,666 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Of such shares, 10,135,135 shares (8.8%) will be beneficially owned by investors in the offering, 659,102 shares (0.6%) will be beneficially owned by current officers and directors of the Company, 100,875,845 shares (88.0%) will be beneficially owned by the Members of Next Charging (including shares held by entities controlled by Michael Farkas, the managing member of Next Charging), and 2,956,584 shares (2.6%) will be beneficially owned by other current shareholders of the Company.
Previous report
In addition, in connection with the approval of the Share Exchange our stockholders have approved an increase in the number of shares that may be issued under our equity incentive plan from 900,000 shares to 2.9 million shares. Issuance of awards regarding such additional shares will result in further dilution to stockholders, including investors in this offering.
Previous report
On October 1, 2023, the Company submitted its compliance plan to Nasdaq and is awaiting Nasdaq’s compliance determination. If the plan is accepted, the Staff may grant the Company an extension period of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the deficiency notice to regain compliance.
Previous report
There can be no assurance that the Staff will accept the Company’s plan to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, or, if accepted, that the Company will evidence compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement during any extension period that the Staff may grant. If the Staff does not accept the Company’s plan or if the Company is unable to regain compliance within any extension period granted by the Staff, the Staff would be required to issue a delisting determination. The Company would at that time be entitled to request a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel to present its plan to regain compliance and to request a further extension period to regain compliance. The request for a hearing would stay any delisting action by the Staff.
Reworded paragraphs (20)
Previous wording
Revenues generated from our operations are not presently sufficient to sustain our operations and our current liabilities substantially exceeded our current assets as of December 31 2023. Therefore, we will need to raise additional capital in the future to continue our operations. We anticipate that our principal sources of liquidity will only be sufficient to fund our activities through January 1, 2024. In order to have sufficient cash to fund our operations beyond January 1, 2024, we will need to raise additional equity or debt capital. There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available when needed from any source or, if available, will be available on terms that are acceptable to us. We will be required to pursue sources of additional capital through various means, including debt or equity financings. Future financings through equity investments are likely to be dilutive to existing stockholders. Also, the terms of securities we may issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable for new investors. Newly issued securities may include preferences, superior voting rights, the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, and the issuances of incentive awards under equity employee incentive plans, which may have additional dilutive effects. Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which will adversely impact our financial condition. Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by such factors as the capital markets and our history of losses, which could impact the availability or cost of future financings. If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities, together with our revenues from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, even to the extent that we reduce our operations accordingly, we may be required to curtail or cease operations.

Current wording
To date, NextNRG has not generated significant revenues or achieved profitability, and may never generate significant revenues or become profitable.
Previous wording
Next Charging has incurred net losses since inception, and may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability in the future. Next Charging’s expenses will likely increase in the future as it develops and launches its products, expands new markets, increases its sales and marketing efforts and continues to invest in technology. These efforts to grow its business may be more costly than Next Charging expects and may not result in increased revenue or growth in its business. Next Charging will likely be required to make significant capital investments and incur recurring or new costs, and its investments (if any) may not generate sufficient returns and its results of operations, financial condition and liquidity may be adversely affected. Any failure to increase revenues sufficiently to keep pace with such investments and other expenses could prevent Next Charging from achieving or maintaining profitability or positive cash flow on a consistent basis or at all. If Next Charging is unable to successfully address these risks and challenges as it encounters them, its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected. If it is unable to generate adequate revenue growth and manage expenses, Next Charging may continue to incur net losses in the future, which may be substantial, and it may never be able to achieve or maintain profitability. Next Charging also expects its costs and expenses to increase in future periods, which could negatively affect future results of operations if revenues do not increase. In particular, Next Charging intends to continue to expend significant funds to further develop its technology. Furthermore, if Next Charging’s future growth and operating performance fail to meet investor or analyst expectations, or if it has future negative cash flow or losses resulting from investment in technology or expanding operations, this could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Previous wording
We believe the market for our values-aligned platform is substantial, but it is still relatively new, and it is uncertain to what extent or how widespread market acceptance of our platform will be or how long such acceptance, if achieved, may be sustained. Our success will depend on the willingness of people to widely adopt the Next Charging experience, values and the products and services that we offer through our platform. If the public does not perceive our products and services sold through our platform to be beneficial, or chooses not to adopt them as a result of concerns regarding privacy, accessibility, or for other reasons, including an unwillingness to confirm that they respect our five core values or as a result of negative incidents or experiences they encounter through our platform, or instead opt to use alternatives to our platform, then the market for our platform may not continue to grow, may grow slower than we expect, or may not achieve the growth potential we expect, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Current wording
NextNRG has limited experience with respect to determining the optimal prices and pricing structures for its products and services, which may impact its financial results.
Previous wording
Next Charging expects that it may need to change its pricing model from time to time, including as a result of competition, global economic conditions, changes in product mix or pricing studies. Similarly, as Next Charging introduces new products and services, it may have difficulty determining the appropriate price structure for future products and services, including because we may pursue business lines or enter markets in which Next Charging’s current management team has limited prior experience. In addition, as new and existing competitors introduce new products or services that compete with Next Charging’s, or revise their pricing structures, it may be unable to attract new customers at the same price or based on the same pricing model as it has used historically. As a result, Next Charging may be required from time to time to revise its pricing structure or reduce prices, which could adversely affect its business, operating results, and financial condition.

Previous wording
Next Charging faces strong competition from competitors in the EV charging services industry, including competitors who could duplicate its model. Many of these competitors may have substantially greater financial, marketing and development resources and other capabilities than Next Charging. In addition, there are very few barriers to entry into the market for its services. There can be no assurance, therefore, that any of Next Charging’s current and future competitors, many of whom may have far greater resources, will not independently develop services that are substantially equivalent or superior to its services.

Next Charging’s competitors may be able to provide customers with different or greater capabilities or benefits than it can provide in areas such as technical qualifications, past contract performance, geographic presence and driver price. Further, many of its competitors may be able to utilize substantially greater resources and economies of scale to develop competing products and technologies, divert sales away from Next Charging by winning broader contracts or hire away our employees by offering more lucrative compensation packages. In the event that the market for EV charging stations expands, Next Charging expects that competition will intensify as additional competitors enter the market and current competitors expand their product lines. In order to secure contracts successfully when competing with larger, well-financed companies, Next Charging may be forced to agree to contractual terms that provide for lower aggregate payments to it over the life of the contract, which could adversely affect its margins. Next Charging’s failure to compete effectively with respect to any of these or other factors could have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition or operating results.

Next Charging’s growth is highly dependent upon the adoption by consumers of EVs, and it is subject to a risk of any reduced demand for EVs. If the market for EVs does not gain broader market acceptance or develops slower than expected, Next Charging’s business, prospects, financial condition and operating results will be harmed. The market for alternative fuel vehicles is relatively new, rapidly evolving, characterized by rapidly changing technologies, price competition, additional competitors, evolving government regulation and industry standards, frequent new vehicle announcements, long development cycles for EV original equipment manufacturers, and changing consumer demands and behaviors. Factors that may influence the purchase and use of alternative fuel vehicles, specifically EVs, include:

One beneficial owner controls approximately 20% of our outstanding common stock as of January 12, 2024 , and our officers and directors beneficially own approximately an additional 15% of our outstanding common stock.

We have elected to take advantage of the above-referenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, we have more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by non-affiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. We may choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens.

If we do, the information that we provide stockholders may be different than you might get from other public companies that comply with public company effective dates.
