NextNRG (NXXT) Risk Analysis

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.

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. 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.

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. As a result, these shareholders are able to influence the outcome of shareholder votes on various matters, including the election of directors and extraordinary corporate transactions, including business combinations. In addition, the conversion of existing convertible notes, occurrence of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock, or the perception that these conversions or sales could occur, may affect our stock price and could impair our ability to obtain capital through an offering of equity securities. Furthermore, the current ratios of ownership of our common stock reduce the public float and liquidity of our common stock, which can in turn affect the market price of our common stock.

M&K CPA's, PLLC, our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, has included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion that accompanies our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, indicating that our current liquidity position raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to improve our liquidity position, we may not be able to continue as a going concern. We anticipate that we will continue to generate operating losses and use cash in operations through the foreseeable future. As further set forth above, we anticipate that we will need significant additional capital by December 31, 2024, or we may be required to curtail or cease operations.

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.

Our common stock was approved for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "EZFL" and began trading on September 15, 2021. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for our shares will be sustained. The market price of shares of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to many risk factors listed in this section, and others beyond our control, including: - actual or anticipated fluctuations in our financial condition and operating results;     - geopolitical developments affecting supply and demand for oil and gas and an increase or decrease in the price of fuel;     - actual or anticipated changes in our growth rate relative to our competitors;     - competition from existing companies in the space or new competitors that may emerge;     - issuance of new or updated research or reports by securities analysts;     - fluctuations in the valuation of companies perceived by investors to be comparable to us;     - share price and volume fluctuations attributable to inconsistent trading volume levels of our shares;     - additions or departures of key management or technology personnel;     - disputes or other developments related to proprietary rights, including intellectual property, litigation matters, and our ability to obtain patent protection for our technologies;     - announcement or expectation of additional debt or equity financing efforts;     - sales of our common stock by us, our insiders or our other stockholders; and     - general economic and market conditions. These and other market and industry factors may cause the market price and demand for our common stock to fluctuate substantially, regardless of our actual operating performance, which may limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares of common stock and may otherwise negatively affect the liquidity of our common stock. In addition, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the Company.

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company's stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company arising pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company; or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Company governed by the internal affairs doctrine. To the extent that any such claims may be based upon federal law claims, Section 27 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Furthermore, Section 22 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provides for concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, and as such, the exclusive jurisdiction clauses of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation would not apply to such suits. The choice of forum provisions in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation may limit a stockholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees. By agreeing to these provisions, however, stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Furthermore, the enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies' certificates of incorporation and bylaws has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that a court could find these types of provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable. If a court were to find the choice of forum provisions in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation" to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

On August 22, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the "Staff") of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") indicating that the Company's stockholders' equity as reported in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2023 (the "Form 10-Q"), did not satisfy the continued listing requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires that a listed company's stockholders' equity be at least $2,500,000 (the "Stockholders' Equity Requirement"). As reported in its Form 10-Q, the Company's stockholders' equity as of June 30, 2023 was approximately $1,799,365. As of September 30, 2023, the Company's stockholders' equity was $137,506. The Staff's notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company's common stock on Nasdaq. 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. 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. If we are unable to achieve and maintain compliance with such listing standards or other Nasdaq listing requirements in the future, we could be subject to suspension and delisting proceedings. A delisting of our common stock and our inability to list on another national securities market could negatively impact us by: (i) reducing the liquidity and market price of our common stock; (ii) reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our common stock, which could negatively impact our ability to raise equity financing; (iii) limiting our ability to use certain registration statements to offer and sell freely tradable securities, thereby limiting our ability to access the public capital markets; and (iv) impairing our ability to provide equity incentives to our employees.

As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an "emerging growth company" under the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include: - only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" disclosure;     - reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;     - no non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;     - exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and delaying the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. 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. We have not taken advantage of any of these reduced reporting burdens in this 10K, although we may choose to do so in future filings. 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.
