• Shareholder Vote on Dilutive Financing

  Shareholders will vote on August 7, 2026, to approve the potential issuance of shares exceeding 20% of outstanding stock from a $7.5 million convertible note agreement with White Lion Capital LLC. This follows the initial $1.5 million funding received on June 9, 2026.

• Critical for Nasdaq Compliance

  Approval is required under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) to allow conversion of notes beyond a 19.99% cap. Non-approval risks default on the notes, hinders future capital raises, and could negatively impact the company's stock value, especially with an existing Nasdaq delisting threat.

• Auditor Change Noted

  The company ratified the appointment of Tanner LLC as its independent auditor for fiscal year 2026, following the dismissal of Grant Thornton LLP in October 2025. Grant Thornton had previously identified material weaknesses in the company's internal controls.

This definitive proxy statement finalizes the terms for a critical shareholder vote on August 7, 2026. Zeo Energy Corp. is seeking approval for the potential issuance of shares exceeding 20% of its outstanding stock upon conversion of up to $7.5 million in convertible notes from White Lion Capital LLC. This approval is essential for the company to comply with Nasdaq listing rules and avoid default on the notes. Given the company's critically low cash balance and existing Nasdaq delisting threat, securing this financing is vital for its survival, despite the significant potential dilution to existing shareholders.
