• Three-Way Merger Agreement

  XCF Global, DevvStream Corp., and Southern Energy Renewables Inc. have entered into a Business Combination Agreement to create a new alternative energy platform. Post-merger, XCF Global shareholders are anticipated to own 66.7% of the combined company, Southern Energy 23.3%, and DevvStream 10.0%.

• Massive Share Authorization Increase

  Shareholders will vote on increasing authorized common stock from 500 million to 1.7 billion shares, and increasing shares reserved for the equity incentive plan from 14.5 million to 80 million, indicating substantial potential future dilution.

• Challenging Closing Conditions

  The merger is contingent on XCF Global achieving annualized gross revenue exceeding $1 billion and annualized EBITDA of at least $100 million by June 30, 2026, alongside Southern Energy securing $400 million in bond financing and $10 million in cash.

• Severe Financial Distress Across All Parties

  XCF Global is under a going concern warning, faces a Nasdaq delisting threat, and has over $200 million in defaulted senior debt. DevvStream also has a going concern warning, Nasdaq non-compliance, and a $24.4 million working capital deficit. Southern Energy is pre-revenue and requires significant capital.

XCF Global, already facing a going concern warning, Nasdaq delisting threat, and over $200 million in defaulted debt, is attempting a three-way merger with DevvStream Corp. and Southern Energy Renewables Inc. This S-4 filing outlines the terms, which include significant dilution for existing XCF shareholders (33.3% post-merger ownership for new entities) and a massive increase in authorized shares from 500 million to 1.7 billion. The merger is contingent on highly ambitious financial targets for XCF Global by June 30, 2026, including $1 billion in annualized gross revenue and $100 million in annualized EBITDA, which appear challenging given its current Q1 2026 revenue of $0.34 million and a net loss of $17.8 million. Furthermore, the fairness opinion for XCF Global, while concluding fairness, was based on a discounted cash flow analysis that indicated a negative equity value for XCF on a standalone basis, raising significant concerns about the underlying valuation.
