• Going Concern Warning Disclosed

  The company's interim financials as of June 30, 2025, and year-end 2024, show working capital deficits of $131.4 million and $69.6 million, respectively, raising substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. This critical liquidity issue is a primary concern for investors.

• Material Weaknesses in Internal Controls Identified

  The annual report for fiscal year 2024 disclosed material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, indicating significant deficiencies in financial reporting and accounting personnel, formal internal control policies, and IT procedures.

• Patent Infringement Lawsuits Ongoing

  TOYO and its ultimate shareholder are defendants in two patent infringement lawsuits filed by JINKO, with Markman hearings set for February 2026. The potential impact of these lawsuits is difficult to anticipate but could be material.

• Selling Shareholders Offer Shares; Warrants Outstanding

  The prospectus registers up to 817,035 ordinary shares for offer by selling shareholders, representing a potential market overhang. Additionally, up to 4,970,007 ordinary shares are issuable upon the exercise of warrants at an exercise price of $11.50, which are currently out-of-the-money compared to the current stock price of $8.71.

This prospectus supplement updates investors on TOYO's critical financial and operational challenges, including a substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern and identified material weaknesses in internal controls. These disclosures, previously detailed in recent 6-K filings and the annual 20-F report, are now formally incorporated into the offering document, highlighting the significant risks. The company also faces ongoing patent infringement lawsuits that could have a material adverse effect. While the filing registers shares for potential resale by selling shareholders and from warrant exercises, the underlying financial and legal issues present a severe negative outlook for investors.
