Note 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

We are an advanced technology company whose purpose is to free the world from its water and energy constraints by delivering groundbreaking sorption technologies. Our vision is to be the leading technology platform that unleashes the power of water from air. AirJoule produces pure distilled water from air, and our proprietary AirJoule platform, at commercial scale, will mitigate water scarcity through distributed water generation for businesses and consumers around the world. Our products are especially valuable for industrial users, which generate significant amounts of waste heat that can be used to power our sorption technologies to produce low cost pure distilled water and dehumidified air – two key inputs for a variety of industrial activities, including data centers and advanced manufacturing. In HVAC applications, AirJoule is designed to reduce energy consumption, minimize or even eliminate the use of environmentally-harmful refrigerants, and generate material cost efficiencies for air conditioning systems. We are focused on commercialization and scaling manufacturing of our AirJoule products through our global collaborations, including with GE Vernova and Carrier Global Corporation (“Carrier”), and we believe that deploying AirJoule units worldwide will serve our purpose of freeing the world of its water and energy constraints.

Power & Digital Infrastructure Acquisition II Corp (“XPDB”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated June 5, 2023, as amended on February 5, 2024, with XPDB Merger Sub, LLC, a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of XPDB (“Merger Sub”), and AirJoule Technologies LLC, formerly known as Montana Technologies LLC (“Legacy Montana”). On March 14, 2024, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged with and into Legacy Montana, with Legacy Montana surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of XPDB (the “Merger” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”). In connection with closing the Business Combination (the “Closing”), XPDB changed its name from “Power & Digital Infrastructure Acquisition II Corp.” to “Montana Technologies Corporation.”

In November 2024, to better align the Company’s name with its business operations and AirJoule technology, the Company changed its name from Montana Technologies Corporation to AirJoule Technologies Corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiary changed its name from Montana Technologies LLC to AirJoule Technologies LLC.

Prior to the Business Combination, all of the outstanding preferred units of Legacy Montana were converted into Class B common units. As a result of the Business Combination, (i) each issued and outstanding Class B common unit and Class C common unit of Legacy Montana was converted into the right to receive approximately 23.8 shares of newly issued shares of Class A common stock of the Company, (ii) each issued and outstanding class A common unit of Legacy Montana converted into the right to receive approximately 23.8 shares of newly issued shares of Class B common stock of the Company and (iii) each option to purchase common units of Legacy Montana converted into the right to receive an option to purchase Class A common stock of the Company having substantially similar terms to the corresponding option, including with respect to vesting and termination-related provisions, except that such options represented the right to receive a number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the number of common units subject to the corresponding option immediately prior to the Closing multiplied by approximately 23.8.

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Under this method of accounting, although XPDB acquired the outstanding equity interest in Legacy Montana in the Business Combination, XPDB is treated as the acquired company and Legacy Montana was treated as the accounting acquirer for financial statement purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Legacy Montana issuing stock for the net assets of XPDB, accompanied by a recapitalization.

Furthermore, the historical financial statements of Legacy Montana became the historical financial statements of the Company upon the consummation of the Merger. As a result, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect (i) the historical operating results of Legacy Montana prior to the Business Combination; (ii) the combined results of XPDB and Legacy Montana following the Closing; (iii) the assets and liabilities of Legacy Montana at their historical cost and (iv) Legacy Montana’s equity structure for all periods presented, as affected by the recapitalization presentation after completion of the Business Combination. See Note 4 - Recapitalization for further details of the Business Combination.

On January 25, 2024, Legacy Montana entered into a joint venture formation framework agreement (the “Framework Agreement”) with GE Ventures LLC (“GE Vernova”), a Delaware limited liability company and, solely for the purposes specified therein, GE Vernova LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, pursuant to which Legacy Montana and GE Vernova agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of the Framework Agreement, including certain closing conditions specified therein, to form a joint venture (the “AirJoule JV”) in which Legacy Montana and GE Vernova will each hold a 50% interest. The joint venture transaction closed on March 4, 2024. AirJoule, LLC, the entity formed under this agreement, is included under the equity method of accounting within these financial statements. See Note 5 - Equity Method Investment for further details.
