Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 29
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1The price of our common stock may continue to fluctuate significantly, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
The market price of our common stock has experienced, and may continue to experience, significant volatility. Factors that may cause volatility in the price of our common stock, many of which are beyond our control, include, among others, the following: the factors that may influence the adoption of our vehicle fuels, as discussed elsewhere in these risk factors; our ability to implement our business plans and initiatives and their anticipated, perceived or actual level of success; failure to meet or exceed any financial guidance we have provided to the public or the estimates and projections of the investment community; the market's perception of the success and importance of any of our acquisitions, divestitures, investments or other strategic relationships or transactions; the amount and timing of sales of, and prices for, Environmental Credits; actions taken by state or federal governments to mandate or otherwise promote or incentivize alternative vehicles or vehicle fuels over, or to the exclusion of, RNG; technical factors in the public trading market for our common stock that may produce price movements that may or may not comport with macro, industry or company-specific fundamentals, including, without limitation, the sentiment of retail investors (including as may be expressed on financial trading and other social media sites and other means of shareholder engagement with one another and the Company) and investor response to Company disclosures, the amount and status of short interest in our common stock, access to margin debt, and trading in options and other derivatives on our common stock; changes in political, regulatory, health, economic and market conditions; and a change in the trading volume of our common stock. In addition, the securities markets have from time-to-time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies, but which have affected the market prices of these companies' securities. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Volatility or declines in the market price of our common stock could have other negative consequences, including, among others, further impairments to our assets, potential impairments to our goodwill and a reduced ability to use our common stock for capital-raising, acquisitions or other purposes. The occurrence of any of these risks could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity and could cause further declines in the market price of our common stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2Sales of our common stock, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the market price of our stock to drop significantly, regardless of the state of our business.
All outstanding shares of our common stock are eligible for sale in the public market, subject in certain cases to the requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Also, shares of our common stock that may be issued upon the exercise, vesting or conversion of our outstanding stock options and restricted stock units may be eligible for sale in the public market, to the extent permitted by Rule 144 and the provisions of the applicable stock option and restricted stock unit agreements or if such shares have been registered under the Securities Act. Sales of large amounts of our common stock by large stockholders, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline, regardless of the state of the Company's business. On February 27, 2026, TMS filed a Schedule 13D/A disclosing it had entered into a Rule 10b5-1 sale plan agreement to dispose of up to 6,164,720 shares of our common stock held by TMS. Our common stock held by TMS, our common stock underlying the Amazon Warrant, and our common stock underlying the Stonepeak Warrant may be sold in the public market under Rule 144 or in registered sales or offerings pursuant to registration rights held by each entity. If these shares are sold, or if it is perceived that they may be sold, in the public market, the trading price of our common stock could decline.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3A significant portion of our outstanding common stock is owned or otherwise subject to acquisition by three equityholders, each of which may have interests that differ from the Company's other stockholders and which now or in the future may be able to influence the Company's corporate decisions, including a change of control.
After giving effect to the issuance of the Amazon Warrant and the Stonepeak Warrant (as defined in Note14 – Stockholders' Equity) to the accompanying financial statements), Total Marketing Services, S.A.S ("TMS"), a wholly owned subsidiary of TotalEnergies, owned approximately 19% of our outstanding shares of common stock as of June 30, 2026. In addition, TotalEnergies was granted certain special rights that our other stockholders do not have in connection with its acquisition of this ownership position, including the right to designate two individuals to serve as directors of our Company and a third individual to serve as an observer on certain of our board committees. The Amazon Warrant was immediately exercisable by Amazon Holdings for 4.999% of our outstanding common stock when issued. Subject to additional vesting through fuel purchase from the Company pursuant to the Fuel Agreement, the Amazon Warrant will be exercisable for up to 19.999% of our outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis (determined at the time of issuance), subject to certain anti-dilution provisions, and Amazon Holding's beneficial ownership will initially be contractually limited to the beneficial ownership limitation unless Amazon Holdings gives the Company 61 days' notice that it is waiving such limitation. The Stonepeak Warrant is exercisable at any time after December 12, 2025 for up to 9.999% of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise, and Stonepeak's beneficial ownership will initially be contractually limited to such beneficial ownership limitation unless Stonepeak gives the Company 61 days' notice that it is waiving such limitation. TotalEnergies or other current or future large stockholders may be able to influence or control matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors,mergers and acquisitions, or other extraordinary transactions. Large stockholders may have interests that differ from other stockholders and may vote or otherwise act in ways with which the Company or other stockholders disagree or that may be adverse to your interests. A concentration of stock ownership may also have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change of control of our Company, which could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock as part of a sale of our Company and could affect the market price of our common stock. Conversely, such a concentration of stock ownership may facilitate a change of control under terms other stockholders may not find favorable or at a time when other stockholders may prefer not to sell.
