Biochar Solutions LLC
Supply agreement
On March 14, 2026, the Company’s subsidiary, Verde Renewables, entered into the BSL Supply Agreement with Biochar Solutions LLC (“BSL”), pursuant to which BSL will manufacture, supply, distribute, and white label engineered biochar for incorporation into Verde Renewables’ and its customers’ (including Ergon’s) products, with both parties intending for this BSL Supply Agreement to serve as the foundation of a binding commercial agreement governing long term biochar supply, carbon credit revenue sharing, joint technology development, and related commercialization activities.
VERDE RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Under the terms of the BSL Supply Agreement, BSL will initially supply up to 38,500 U.S. tons of biochar annually (the “Initial Supply”) to support the Company’s engineered product portfolio and carbon credit strategy, for which BSL warrants and will ensure that at least 50% of such Initial Supply will qualify for carbon removal credit generation. In compensation for the provision of the Initial Supply, Verde Renewables will pay BSL on a per-ton basis based upon the type of biochar that is supplied, with per-ton pricing to be mutually established and reviewed annually. Additionally, under the BSL Supply Agreement, Verde Renewables and BSL agree to share the carbon removal credits generated from the incorporation of BSL Biochar into Verde Renewables’ asphalt and other products, and any revenues derived from the sale, transfer, or monetization of such carbon removal credits to third parties shall likewise be shared.
The agreement provides for collaboration relating to the development and protection of certain engineered biochar intellectual property. The agreement may be terminated by either party upon 60 days’ written notice or earlier upon an uncured material breach.

Ergon License
License Agreement
On October 10, 2025, Verde Renewables entered into a license agreement with Ergon (the “Ergon License”), pursuant to which the Company granted Ergon an exclusive, non-transferable license to use, manufacture, commercialize, market, sell and distribute any product that contains or is manufactured or formed by Ergon using the Company’s proprietary cold mix biochar asphalt emulsifying agent, Verde V24, (which the Company exclusively licenses in North America from C-Twelve) in the U.S. (including its territories), Canada and Mexico, in exchange for Ergon agreeing to purchase Verde V24 from the Company at a fixed price.
The Company has agreed with Ergon to an initial fifteen (15) month “go-to-market period”, during which no minimum purchase requirements apply.
The Company has also agreed to provide Ergon with forty percent (40%) of its share of the carbon removal credits generated from the mixing of the final carbon sequestering BioAsphalt™ surface material, so long as:
The Ergon License additionally grants Ergon the right to use the Company’s trademarks and access to ongoing technical services to facilitate the monitoring, reporting, and verification process of each ton of carbon dioxide sequestered.
The term of the Ergon License is ten (10) years, with an automatic renewal for additional ten (10) year periods, subject to a minimum of six (6) months’ notice of cancellation prior to renewal. The Ergon License may be terminated in the event of non-payment of amounts due, initiation of bankruptcy proceedings, or under other customary terms.
Subsequent to fiscal year-end, the Company and Ergon determined that Verde V24 would not be utilized in their go-forward commercialization strategy. The Company’s current commercialization efforts with Ergon are instead focused on combining Ergon’s asphalt liquids with the Company’s engineered biochar for multiple road applications.
