NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY

 

Solidion Technology, Inc. (the “Company”, “Solidion” or “Solidion Technology”), formerly known as Nubia Brand International Corp. prior to February 2, 2024, was incorporated in Delaware on June 14, 2021, and is an advanced battery technology company focused on the development and commercialization of next-generation battery materials, components, and energy storage solutions. Solidion is headquartered in Dallas, TX, with research and development and manufacturing operations located in Dayton, OH.

 

On February 2, 2024, Nubia Brand International Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Nubia” and after the Transactions described herein, the “Company”, “Solidion” or “Solidion Technology, Inc.”), consummated the merger (the “Closing”) pursuant to a Merger Agreement, dated February 16, 2023 (as amended on August 25, 2023, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Nubia, Honeycomb Battery Company, an Ohio corporation (“HBC”), and Nubia Merger Sub, Inc., an Ohio corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Nubia (“Merger Sub”). HBC was formerly the energy solutions division of Global Graphene Group, Inc. (“G3”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into HBC (the “Merger,” and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”), with HBC surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Nubia, which was renamed “Solidion Technology, Inc.” upon Closing.

 

In accordance with the Merger Agreement, the Company issued to the HBC stockholders aggregate consideration of 1,400,000 shares of Solidion’s common stock, minus up to 4,000 Holdback Shares, subject to adjustment for any additional interest or penalties related to the G3 Tax Lien (the “Closing Merger Consideration Shares”) at the effective time of the Merger Agreement (the “Effective Time”), plus up to an additional 450,000 shares of Solidion’s common stock (the “Earnout Shares”) upon the occurrence of the following events (or earlier upon a change of control of Solidion but subject to (and only to the extent that) the valuation of Solidion’s common stock implied by such change of control transaction meeting the respective volume weighted average price (“VWAP”), as defined in the Merger Agreement.

 

On October 9, 2025, the Company issued 450,000 shares of its common stock to G3 pursuant to the earnout provisions of the Merger Agreement. The issuance followed the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors to deem all earnout milestones satisfied in full, after considering the Company’s post-merger capital structure and ongoing shared-services arrangements with G3. Accordingly, the Company has completed its obligations related to the Earnout Arrangement under the Merger Agreement.

 

The Merger was accounted for as a common control transaction with respect to HBC which is akin to a reverse recapitalization. This conclusion was based on the fact that G3 had a controlling financial interest in HBC prior to the Merger and had a controlling financial interest in Solidion immediately following the Merger (which includes HBC as a wholly owned subsidiary). Net assets of Nubia were stated at their historical carrying amounts with no goodwill or intangible assets recognized in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Merger with respect to HBC was not treated as a change in control due primarily to G3 receiving the controlling voting stake in Solidion and G3’s ability to nominate a majority of the board of directors of Solidion. Under the guidance in ASC 805 for transactions between entities under common control, the assets and liabilities of HBC and Nubia are recognized at their carrying amounts on the date of the Merger.

 

Under a reverse recapitalization, Nubia was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as the equivalent of HBC issuing stock for the net liabilities of Nubia, accompanied by a recapitalization.

 

Liquidity

 

The Company has incurred recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception, including a net loss of $4,073,001 and net cash used in operating activities of $5,455,432 for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, and remains in default under a promissory note with an outstanding principal amount of $1,025,824 (see Note 10). As disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, these conditions previously raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. That substantial doubt was resolved   upon completion of the 2026 Private Placement in June 2026 (see Note 9). As of September 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $26,154,004, which management believes will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations and satisfy its obligations as they become due for at least one year from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

 

Nasdaq Compliance

 

On September 8, 2025, following the resignation of a director on September 3, 2025, the Company notified The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that its Audit Committee no longer complied with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), which requires an audit committee of at least three independent directors. Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(4), the Company had a cure period to regain compliance ending on the earlier of its next annual meeting of stockholders or September 3, 2026.

 

On August 31, 2026, the Board of Directors increased its size from four to seven members and appointed Mark Schwartz, Kimi L. Ellen and Dante W. Robinson as independent directors. The Board also appointed each of them to the Audit Committee, which now has four members. As a result, the Company regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A) within the applicable cure period.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company’s current business activities consist of development and commercialization of battery materials, components, cells, and selected module/pack technologies. The Company faces inherent risks associated with its operations, such as the ongoing development of its technology, marketing, and distribution channels, as well as the enhancement of its supply chain and manufacturing capabilities. Additionally, the need to recruit additional management and key personnel is vital. The success of the Company’s development initiatives and the achievement of profitability hinge on various factors, including its ability to enter potential markets and secure sustainable financing in the future.

 

The Company’s future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect the Company’s future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, rapid technological change, competition from substitute products and larger companies, protection of proprietary technology, ability to maintain distributor relationships and dependence on key individuals.
