Freight Technologies (FRGT) Risk Analysis

We are incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and conduct the majority of our operations in Mexico. One of our directors and some of our executive officers reside outside the United States   and a substantial portion of their assets may be located outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for our shareholders to bring an action against us or against these individuals in the British Virgin Islands or in Mexico in the event that they believe that their rights have been infringed under the securities laws of the United States or otherwise. Even if shareholders are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the British Virgin Islands and Mexico may render them unable to enforce a judgment against our assets or the assets of our directors and officers. There is no statutory recognition in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States or Mexico, although the courts of the British Virgin Islands will generally recognize and enforce a non-penal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits. Our corporate affairs will be governed by our Memorandum and Articles of Association, the BVI Act and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the British Virgin Islands and by the BVI Act. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the British Virgin Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British Virgin Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and some states (such as Delaware) have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law. As a result of the foregoing, holders of our ordinary shares may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against our management, directors or major shareholders than they would as shareholders of a U.S. company and whose management, directors and/or major shareholders were also incorporated, resident, or otherwise established in a United States jurisdiction. As a result of the foregoing, our public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against us, our management, our directors or our major shareholders than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States.

As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from, among other things, the rules prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements under the Exchange Act and the rules relating to selective disclosure of material nonpublic information under Regulation FD. In addition, our executive officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit and recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. We are also not required under the Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as domestic U.S. companies with securities registered under the Exchange Act. As a result, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they would under the Exchange Act rules applicable to domestic U.S. companies.

We are exempted from certain corporate governance requirements of the NASDAQ by virtue of being a foreign private issuer. We are required to provide a brief description of the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and the corporate governance practices required to be followed by domestic U.S. companies listed on the NASDAQ. The standards applicable to us are considerably different than the standards applied to domestic U.S. issuers. For instance, we are not required to: - have a majority of the board be independent (although all of the members of the audit committee must be independent under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, ("Exchange Act") and the majority of our board is independent);     - have a compensation committee or a nominating or corporate governance committee consisting entirely of independent directors (although our compensation committee is made up entirely of independent directors; or     - have regularly scheduled executive sessions for non-management directors. We have relied on and intend to continue to rely on some of these exemptions. As a result, our shareholders may not be provided with the benefits of certain corporate governance requirements of the NASDAQ.

The trading market for our ordinary shares may depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If research analysts do not establish and maintain adequate research coverage or if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our ordinary shares or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the market price for our ordinary shares could decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our Company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which, in turn, could cause the market price or trading volume for our ordinary shares to decline significantly.

On January 28, 2020, we received written notification from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") that it no longer meets Listing Rule 5450(v)(1)(A) which requires it to maintain a minimum $10,000,000 in stockholders' equity for continued listing. The Company reported in its Form 6-K for the period ended June 30, 2019 that its stockholders' equity was $9,490,313 and we regained compliance at the time. On March 12, 2020, we received a letter from the Nasdaq indicating that, the closing bid price of the Company's ordinary shares for the last 30 consecutive business days did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). The letter also indicated that the Company will be provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until August 31,2020, in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). The letter further provided that if, at any time during the 180-day period, the closing bid price of the Company's ordinary shares is at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq provided the Company with written confirmation that it achieved compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. On April 16, 2020 we received a letter from the Nasdaq indicating the Company's Market Value of Publicly Held Shares (MVPHS) did not meet the minimum value of $5,000,000 for the last 30 consecutive business days in contravention of the Nasdaq's Listing Rules ("Rules"). However, the Rules also provide the Company a compliance period of 180 calendar days in which to regain compliance. We were informed that if at any time during this compliance period the Company's MVPHS closes at $5,000,000 or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, the Nasdaq would provide the Company written confirmation of compliance and this matter would be closed. In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Rules prior to the expiration of the compliance period, it will receive written notification that its securities are subject to delisting. Alternatively, the Company may consider applying to transfer the Company's securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market (the "Capital Market"). In order to transfer, the Company must submit an on-line Transfer Application, pay the $5,000 application fee, and meet the Capital Market's continued listing requirements. Although we transitioned to the Nasdaq Capital Market and have regained compliance with the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq, we recently received another written notification from the Nasdaq on May 13, 2021 informing us that we no longer meet Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires us to maintain a minimum $2,500,000 in stockholders' equity for continued listing. We had reported in our last annual report on Form 20-F for the period ended December 31, 2020 that our stockholders' equity was $631,145. Under the Nasdaq Rules, we had 45 calendar days (no later than June 28, 2021) to submit a plan to regain compliance. If our plan were accepted, we should be granted an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of written notification letter to evidence compliance. We submitted our plan and the Nasdaq granted us until November 9, 2021 to regain compliance. On September 28, 2021, we announced in a Form 6-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that we had consummated a sale of an aggregate of 63,000 ordinary shares, par value $0.05 and a pre-funded warrant to purchase 65,000 ordinary shares to ATW Opportunities Master Fund, L.P. for an aggregate purchase price of $270,000 pursuant to a securities purchase agreement dated September 16, 2021 (the "Securities Purchase"). Because of the Securities Purchase, we regained compliance with the stockholders' equity requirement. The Nasdaq shall continue to monitor our ongoing compliance with the stockholders' equity requirement and, if at the time of its next periodic report we do not evidence compliance, we may be subject to delisting. As part of the issuance of shares in the Merger, we announced in a Form 6-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that we had pro forma projections showing capital for the Company in excess of $5,000,000 following the Merger. On October 26, 2022, we received a notice from the Nasdaq informing us that our share price had traded below $1 and that we had 180 days to remedy the situation. We effected a 10:1 reverse stock split on February 5, 2024 and were informed on April 11, 2023 that we had regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), and the matter was closed. On August 21, 2023, we received a notice from the Nasdaq informing us that our share price had traded below $1, and that we had 180 days to remedy the situation. We effected a 10:1 reverse stock split on February 5, 2024 and were informed on February 20, 2024 that we had regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), and the matter was closed. We intend to take all reasonable actions to ensure compliance with the Nasdaq. However, there can be no assurance that we will maintain compliance with the Nasdaq Rules or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq listing criteria on a go-forward basis. If we are not able to maintain compliance, our ordinary shares might be delisted and you will likely experience a devaluation in the market price of your shares as well as face challenges in trading them forthwith.

The trading price of our ordinary shares is likely to continue to be volatile and could fluctuate widely in response to a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. In addition to market and industry factors, the price and trading volume for our ordinary shares may be highly volatile for specific business reasons, including but not limited to: - variations in our results of operations;         - the high number of preferred shares and warrants convertible into ordinary shares outstanding in comparison to total ordinary shares;         - announcements about our earnings that are not in line with analyst expectations;- publication of operating or industry metrics by third parties, including government statistical agencies, that differ from expectations of industry or financial analysts;         - changes in financial estimates by securities research analysts;         - announcements made by us or our competitors of new products and service offerings, acquisitions, strategic relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments;         - press reports, whether true or not true, about our business;         - regulatory allegations or actions or negative reports or publicity against us, regardless of their veracity or materiality to our company;         - changes in pricing made by us or our competitors;         - conditions in global financial markets;         - additions to or departures of our management;         - fluctuations of exchange rates of the Mexican Peso and the U.S. dollar and to a lesser extent, the Canadian dollar;         - release or expiry of transfer restrictions on our outstanding ordinary shares;         - sales or perceived potential sales or other disposition of existing or additional ordinary shares or other equity or equity-linked securities, including by our principal shareholders, directors, officers and other affiliates;         - actual or perceived general economic and business conditions and trends globally and in the freight industry in particular;         - the potential or actual effect of program trading on our stock price; and         - changes or developments in the global regulatory environment. Any of these factors may result in large and sudden changes in the volume and trading price of our ordinary shares. In addition, the stock market has at times experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies and industries. These fluctuations may include a so-called "bubble market" in which investors temporarily raise the price of the stocks of companies in certain industries, such as the e-commerce industry, to unsustainable levels. These market fluctuations may significantly affect the trading price of our ordinary shares. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, shareholders have instituted securities class-action lawsuits against the company and named the company, management and/or the board of directors as defendants. The litigation process may utilize a material portion of our cash resources and divert management's attention from the day-to-day operations of our Company, all of which could harm our business. If adversely determined, the class action suits may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations

British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The circumstances in which any such an action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect of any such action, may result in the rights of shareholders of a British Virgin Islands company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States. Accordingly, shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred. The British Virgin Islands courts are also unlikely to recognize or enforce judgments of courts in the United States based on certain liability provisions of United States securities law or to impose liabilities, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands, based on certain liability provisions of the United States securities laws that are penal in nature. There is no statutory recognition in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the British Virgin Islands will generally recognize and enforce the non-penal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits. This means that even if shareholders were to sue us successfully, they may not be able to recover anything to make up for the losses suffered.

While Fr8Tech has been successful in raising capital in the past, there is no assurance that Fr8Tech can access additional capital in the future when needed, on favorable terms, or at all. To the extent that Fr8Tech raises additional capital through the sale of equity, convertible debt securities or other equity-based derivative securities, existing ownership interests may be diluted and the terms may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect existing shareholder rights. Any indebtedness Fr8Tech incurs would result in increased fixed payment obligations and could involve restrictive covenants, such as limitations on its ability to incur additional debt or equity, limitations on its ability to acquire or license intellectual property rights, limitations on the payment of dividends, and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact its ability to conduct its business. Furthermore, the issuance of additional securities, whether equity or debt by Fr8Tech, or the possibility of such issuance, may cause the market price of its common stock to decline and existing shareholders may not agree with its financing plans or the terms of such financings. If Fr8Tech raises additional funds through strategic partnerships and alliances, licensing arrangements or monetization transactions with third parties, it may have to relinquish valuable rights to its technologies, or product candidates, or grant licenses on terms unfavorable to Fr8Tech. Adequate additional financing may not be available to Fr8Tech on acceptable terms, or at all. If Fr8Tech is unable to raise additional funds when needed, it may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate its product development or future commercialization efforts, or the Company may need to grant rights to develop and market product candidates that it would otherwise prefer to develop and market itself. Furthermore, the Company may not be able to continue operating as it has on a historical basis.

Fr8Tech's capital structure has included and may include a number of securities, including preferred shares, warrant, options and convertible debt that are exchangeable or convertible into ordinary shares. The number of shares that is reported on a number of financial web-sites does not include the potential effect from the possible conversion or exchange of these securities for ordinary shares. Consequently, the valuation of the Company on financial web-sites is typically shown as lower than its correctly calculated value, which can lower the interest in the Company from larger investors. Therefore, the Company's share value and appreciation might be hindered from what it might be otherwise and may have a negative impact on us, our ability to raise capital, and our shareholders.
