Company Overview

We are an advanced technology company whose purpose is to free the world from its water and energy constraints by delivering groundbreaking sorption technologies. Our platform technology, AirJoule, produces pure distilled water from air and, at commercial scale, will mitigate water scarcity through distributed water generation for businesses and consumers around the world. Our products are especially valuable for industrial users, which generate significant amounts of waste heat that can be used to power our sorption technologies to produce low cost pure distilled water and dehumidified air – two key inputs for a variety of industrial activities, including data centers and advanced manufacturing. In HVAC applications, our technology is designed to reduce energy consumption, minimize or even eliminate the use of environmentally-harmful refrigerants and generate material cost efficiencies for air conditioning systems. We are commercializing and scaling manufacturing of our AirJoule systems through our global collaborations, including our 50/50 joint venture with GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) and our commercial partnerships with Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE: CARR) and TenX Investment in Energy Enterprises & Management Co (“TenX”). We believe that deploying AirJoule systems worldwide will unleash the power of water from air and help to improve global water security. During 2025, we manufactured and deployed AirJoule Core systems (previously referred to as our A250 systems) for field testing and customer demonstrations in Texas, Arizona and Dubai, and we advanced the productization and manufacturing scale-up of our Core and larger Prime (previously referred to as our A1000 system) system in preparation for commercial sales beginning in late 2026.

Growth Strategy and Outlook

We anticipate significant growth opportunities by offering the AirJoule technology in global markets where demand for water, dehumidified air and cooling are highest. With our technology platform, we believe that we are uniquely positioned to provide solutions that satisfy our customers’ needs and expectations in fast-growing and water and energy-intensive industries, such as data centers and advanced manufacturing, along with military and HVAC applications. We estimate the combined total addressable market to be approximately $450 billion.

In the data center arena, we aim to address escalating energy and water efficiency challenges associated with increased computing density by using low-grade waste heat to produce pure distilled water and enabling data center operators to reduce their cooling costs and improve water sustainability. Similarly, in advanced manufacturing environments, where product quality and process precision depend on consistent humidity and ultra-pure water, our technology can help customers with cost-effective dehumidification. The military sector presents a distinct opportunity, as AirJoule is able to operate in a variety of climate conditions to support troops in remote and water-scarce environments, ensuring mission readiness and resilience. In the HVAC space, where building owners and

14

facility managers are under pressure to cut energy consumption and improve indoor air quality, AirJoule’s superior moisture removal capability can reduce power consumption and the use of refrigerants in air conditioning systems.

To accelerate market penetration and scale our manufacturing capabilities, we plan to leverage our strategic partnerships. These partnerships offer access to industry-specific R&D expertise, mature supply chains, established sales channels and extensive service networks, allowing us to quickly move from pilot deployments to full-scale commercialization. We intend to co-develop sector-specific solutions, capitalizing on our partners’ market insights and reputational strength to better serve diverse customer needs. By combining our innovative AirJoule technology with their global reach and operational expertise, we expect to unlock value across multiple industries, establish our position as a leader in water-focused solutions and deliver long-term growth and value to our shareholders.

Field Deployments and Demonstrations

During 2025, the AirJoule JV transitioned from laboratory testing to real-world field deployments across multiple geographies and climate conditions. From February 2025 through December 2025, the AirJoule JV and TenX Investment operated an AirJoule showcase system at the Dubai Future Lab in the United Arab Emirates. The system operated through wide temperature and humidity swings, generating high purity distilled water and demonstrating operational reliability in the region’s extreme climate conditions.

In September 2025, the AirJoule JV deployed our first full-scale AirJoule Core system to Hubbard, Texas, where the AirJoule JV demonstrated AirJoule’s ability to produce pure distilled water from ambient air. The system operated continuously for several months and generated performance data across varying environmental conditions.

In December 2025, the AirJoule JV announced a collaboration with the Red Dot Ranch Foundation for off-grid residential water solutions in Pescadero, California. Initial testing of the Core system began in January 2026 and was completed in February 2026.

In December 2025, the AirJoule JV sold a Core system to Arizona State University (“ASU”), where it is undergoing independent academic evaluation led by Dr. Paul Westerhoff, Regents Professor and Director of ASU’s Global Center for Water Technology. The evaluation, which includes planned peer-reviewed published research, is being conducted in the greater Phoenix area where temperatures exceed 110°F and relative humidity regularly falls below 20%. This represents one of the most demanding environments for atmospheric water harvesting.

Gain on Contribution to AirJoule, LLC

An equity method investment received in exchange for non-cash consideration is measured at fair value. As a result, for the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized a gain of $333.5 million on the contribution to AirJoule, LLC which represents the difference between our carrying value and the fair value of the perpetual license to intellectual property that we transferred to AirJoule, LLC.

We determined the fair value of the intellectual property by applying the multi-period excess earnings method, which involved the use of significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasted revenue growth rate and customer attrition rate, Level 3 measurements. Valuation specialists were used to develop and evaluate the appropriateness of the multi-period excess earnings method, our discount rates, attrition rate and fair value estimates using its cash flow projections.

Equity Loss from Investment in AirJoule, LLC

As previously noted, on January 25, 2024, AirJoule Technologies, LLC entered into a joint venture with GE Ventures LLC, the AirJoule JV which closed on March 4, 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized a loss of $39.3 million and $5.3 million from our 50% equity investment in the AirJoule JV, respectively.

Change in Fair Value of Earnout Shares Liability

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, we expensed $53.7 million in Earnout Shares (as described in “- Earnout Shares Liability”) liability. The change in fair value of $18.3 million and $29.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, was primarily due to a decrease in the estimated fair value of the liability and recognized as gains in the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the liability decreased primarily due to changes in the valuation inputs, mainly a decrease in the stock price and changes in the timing of future cash flows.

Change in Fair Value of True Up Shares Liability

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, we assumed $0.6 million in True Up Shares liability. The change in fair value of the liability during the year ended December 31, 2025 was primarily due to the triggering event and issuance of Class A common stock.

Change in Fair Value of Subject Vesting Shares Liability

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, we assumed an $11.8 million Subject Vesting Shares liability. The change in fair value of income of $6.6 million and $4.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, was primarily due to a decrease in the estimated fair value of the liability and recognized as gains in the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the liability decreased primarily due to changes in the valuation inputs, mainly a decrease in the stock price and changes in the timing of future cash flows.

Change in Fair Value of Equity Line Obligation Liability

On March 25, 2025, we entered into a Equity Line Purchase Agreement with B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC. See Note 2 - Liquidity and Capital Resources. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we recognized a $(0.5) million change in the fair value of the related liability, primarily driven by the initial recognition of the liability at fair value upon inception of the agreement and subsequent activity under the facility, including sales of common stock.

Income Tax Benefit (Expense)

Income tax benefit (expense) was $18.3 million and $(81.3) million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the income tax benefit and the resulting effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the impact of state income taxes, including state jurisdictions in which the Company became subject to tax following the Business Combination, as well as changes in deferred tax liabilities associated with temporary differences. Our state effective tax rate of 19.5% for the year ended December 31, 2025 was primarily driven by the remeasurement of deferred tax balances resulting from a decrease in applicable state tax rates from 2024 to 2025. Due to the Company’s significant beginning deferred tax liabilities, this rate change had a disproportionate impact on the current year tax provision; the impact of such remeasurements may vary in future periods. The 2025 effective tax rate was also affected by other permanent items, including the changes in fair value of our liabilities and stock-based compensation expense. During the year ended December 31, 2024, our contribution of a perpetual license to AirJoule, LLC’s intellectual property was measured at fair value and resulted in a book gain and a temporary difference between book and taxable income. The temporary difference resulted in the recognition of a deferred tax expense and deferred tax liabilities. The deferred tax expense was partially offset by the recognition of deferred tax assets in connection with the Company’s Business Combination.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The April 2025 PIPE

On April 23, 2025, we entered into the April 2025 PIPE Subscription Agreements with the April 2025 PIPE Investors pursuant to which, among other things, the April 2025 PIPE Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase from the Company, and we agreed to issue and sell to the April 2025 PIPE Investors, an aggregate of 3,775,126 newly issued shares of Class A common stock at a purchase price of $3.98 per share on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein. The April 2025 PIPE Subscription Agreements entitled the April 2025 PIPE Investors to shelf registration rights with respect to the shares of Class A common stock they purchased. The transaction closed on April 25, 2025, and the shares of Class A common stock were issued and sold to the April 2025 PIPE Investors in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act generating net proceeds of $14.2 million.

Committed Equity Facility

On March 25, 2025, we entered into the Equity Line Purchase Agreement with the Equity Line Investor. Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Equity Line Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to the Equity Line Investor, over a 36-month period, up to an aggregate of $30,000,000 of our newly issued shares of common stock subject to certain conditions and limitations contained in the Equity Line Purchase Agreement, including that we may issue no more than the number of shares equal to 19.99% of the aggregate number of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of immediately prior to the execution of the Equity Line Purchase Agreement without first obtaining stockholder approval. As of December 31, 2025, 755,946 shares were sold under the Equity Line Purchase Agreement generating proceeds of approximately $3.0 million.

Capital Contributions

Pursuant to the A&R Joint Venture Agreement, we are expected to contribute additional capital to the AirJoule JV based on a business plan and annual operating budgets to be agreed between us and GE Vernova. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we contributed $17.8 million in capital contributions to the AirJoule JV.

General

Our primary sources of liquidity have been cash from contributions from founders or equity capital raised from other investors. As of December 31, 2025, we had $21.5 million of working capital including $21.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash.

We assess liquidity in terms of our ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet current and future needs. Our expected primary uses of cash on a short and long-term basis are for working capital requirements, capital expenditures and other general corporate services. Our primary working capital requirements are for project execution activities including purchases of materials, services and payroll which fluctuate during the year, driven primarily by the timing and extent of activities required for new and existing projects. Management expects that future operating losses and negative operating cash flows may increase from historical levels because of additional costs and expenses related to the development of its technology and the development of market and strategic relationships with other businesses and customers.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the timing and extent of spending to support the launch of our product and research and development efforts, the degree to which we are successful in launching new business initiatives and the cost associated with these initiatives and the growth of our business generally.

36

In order to finance these opportunities and associated costs, it is possible that we would need to raise additional financing if the proceeds realized to date are insufficient to support our business needs, including the remaining commitment for capital contributions to the AirJoule JV. While we believe that the proceeds realized to date will be sufficient, management cannot assure that this will be the case. If additional financing is required by us from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital on acceptable terms when needed, our product development business, results of operations and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected.

Cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $5.6 million and primarily reflected our net loss of $(9.0) million. Cash used in operating activities was partially offset by non-cash expenses, including equity loss from investment in AirJoule, LLC, stock-based compensation and changes in fair values of our complex liabilities. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $2.6 million of cash and were primarily attributable to decreases in our due from related party receivable, as well as increases in accrued liabilities and payables related to the expansion of our operations. We expect to continue to use cash in our operating activities with the expected growth of our business.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash used in operating activities was $24.3 million and primarily reflected our net income of $215.7 million, a $81.3 million deferred tax expense, a $53.7 million loss on transaction costs in connection with the business combination, a $5.3 million equity loss from our investment in AirJoule, LLC and $1.3 million of stock-based compensation offset by a $333.5 million gain on contribution to AirJoule, LLC, a decrease of net non-cash operating activities of $31.5 million of changes in fair value of our Earnout Shares liability, True Up Shares liability and Subject Vesting Shares liability, a $14.4 million decrease in our operating assets and liabilities and a gain of $2.2 million on settlement of legal fees.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash used in investing activities was $17.8 million, primarily as a result of our contributions made to the AirJoule JV during the period.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash used in investing activities was $10.0 million, primarily as a result of our contributions made to the AirJoule JV.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities was $17.2 million, primarily as a result of the $14.2 million of net proceeds from the April 2025 PIPE Offering, approximately $3.0 million, from the Equity Line Purchase Agreement and $0.1 million of proceeds from the exercise of options and purchases pursuant to our employee stock purchase plan.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was $61.9 million, primarily related to proceeds from the issuance of the Predecessor common stock related to private placements prior to the Merger, the exercise of stock options and warrants and the issuance of common stock to PIPE investors.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Royalties

In October 2021, we entered into a patent license agreement with a third party whereby the third party granted us rights to use certain of their patents in exchange for an upfront payment and royalties based on a percentage of net sales until such patents expire. In

37

connection with this, we agreed to certain minimum royalty amounts. In September 2025, we entered into the Second Amended and Restated License Agreement which eliminated the minimum royalty amounts through 2029, which resulted in a reversal of $0.5 million in royalties expense.

Joint Venture Agreements

On October 27, 2021, we entered into a joint venture agreement with CATL, pursuant to which we and CATL formed CAMT. While we and CATL both continue to own 50% of CAMT’s issued and outstanding shares, neither we nor CATL funded this joint venture or contributed any assets to the joint venture. Similarly, no business plan or operating budget have ever been set by CAMT’s board of directors.

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Joint Venture Agreement for CAMT, entered into on September 29, 2023, we and CATL US have each agreed to contribute $6.0 million to CAMT. Contributions will be requested by CAMT once a business plan and operating budget is set by CAMT’s board of directors. No action to establish a business plan or operating budget has occurred to date. Any additional financing beyond the initial $12.0 million (i.e., $6.0 million from each of Legacy Montana and CATL US) will be subject to the prior mutual agreement of Legacy Montana and CATL US. CAMT is managed by a four-member board of directors, with two directors (including the chairman) designated by CATL US and two directors (including the vice chairman) designated by Legacy Montana. In the event of an equal vote, the chairman may cast the deciding vote. Certain reserved matters, including debt issuances exceeding $5.0 million in a single transaction or in aggregate within a fiscal year, amendments to CAMT’s constitutional documents the annual financial budget of CAMT and any transaction between CAMT and CATL US or Legacy Montana in an amount exceeding $10.0 million in a single transaction or in aggregate within a fiscal year, require the unanimous vote of both CATL US and Legacy Montana or all directors. As of December 31, 2025, we have not funded this joint venture or contributed any assets to the joint venture.

The original purpose of our joint venture with CATL US was to commercialize certain technology in Asia and Europe and, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Joint Venture Agreement for CAMT, CAMT has the exclusive right to commercialize the technology in those territories. Subject to the oversight of CAMT’s board, CATL US is responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of CAMT (including the nomination and replacement of the Chief Executive Officer of CAMT), and is responsible for providing CAMT and any subsidiaries formed by CAMT with, among other things, administrative services, supply chain support, assistance in obtaining required permits and approvals and assistance in purchasing or leasing land and equipment.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

Certain of these estimates require the use of significant judgment because they involve assumptions that are inherently uncertain and may change as new information becomes available. If actual results differ from these estimates, the resulting changes could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if it requires management to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain and if different estimates could reasonably have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements appearing in Item 8 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we believe that the following accounting policies were most critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation

We grant stock-based awards to employees, directors and certain non-employees as part of our compensation programs. Determining the grant-date fair value of stock-based awards requires management to make estimates and assumptions that involve significant judgment.

The most significant assumptions used in estimating the fair value of stock option awards include the expected term of the award, expected stock price volatility, the risk-free interest rate and the fair value of our common stock on the grant date. Expected volatility is estimated using a combination of our historical volatility and the volatility of comparable publicly traded companies due to our limited trading history. The expected term of awards reflects management’s estimate of the period the awards are expected to remain outstanding based on historical exercise behavior and contractual terms.

38

We have also issued awards containing market and performance-based vesting conditions. The fair value of these awards is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model that incorporates assumptions regarding stock price volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rates and the probability of achieving performance conditions. These assumptions are inherently uncertain, and changes in these assumptions could materially affect the grant-date fair value of awards and the amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized in future periods.

Upon the exercise of stock options or settlement of restricted stock units, we issue newly issued shares of Class A common stock. We do not currently use treasury shares to settle equity awards. We do not currently expect to repurchase shares in the following year to satisfy equity award settlements.

We granted Earnout Share awards to certain employees in connection with the Business Combination. These awards are considered compensatory. The performance-based vesting conditions are not deemed probable of achievement as of December 31, 2025.

Earnout Shares Liability

In connection with the reverse recapitalization and pursuant to the Merger Agreement, eligible former Legacy Montana Equityholders (as defined below) are entitled to receive additional shares of our common stock upon the achievement of specified operational milestones. The Earnout Shares are classified as a liability and are remeasured at fair value at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in our consolidated statements of operations.

The fair value of the Earnout Shares liability is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model that incorporates assumptions regarding projected EBITDA, the expected timing of commissioning production lines, stock price volatility, risk-free interest rates and the correlation between stock price and operating performance. Estimates regarding the timing of commissioning production lines and expected operating performance are based on management’s projections regarding the commercialization and scaling of our technology.

Because these assumptions involve significant judgment and are subject to change as our business evolves, changes in these assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair value of the Earnout Shares liability and result in significant gains or losses recognized in our consolidated statements of operations.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Other Financial Instruments Carried at Fair Value

Certain financial instruments issued in connection with the Business Combination and related financing transactions are classified as liabilities and measured at fair value at each reporting period. These instruments include the True Up Shares, Subject Vesting Shares and the Equity Line Obligation.

The fair value of these instruments is determined using valuation models that incorporate significant assumptions, including stock price volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rates and the probability of achieving certain market or operational conditions. Certain valuations utilize Monte Carlo simulation techniques to model potential outcomes for our stock price and operational milestones.

Because these valuations rely on assumptions about future market conditions and company performance, which are inherently uncertain, changes in these assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair value of these instruments and may result in significant gains or losses recognized in future periods. See Note 12 – Fair Value Measurements.

Equity Method Investment

We account for investments in entities over which we have significant influence but do not control using the equity method of accounting. Our investment balance reflects our share of the investee’s earnings or losses and is adjusted for basis differences identified at the time of investment.

We evaluate our equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. This evaluation requires significant judgment in assessing the investee’s financial condition, expected future operating performance, industry conditions and the estimated fair value of the investment.

Key assumptions used in this assessment may include projections of the investee’s future revenues, operating margins and the timing and likelihood of achieving anticipated business milestones. These assumptions are inherently uncertain because they depend on future market conditions and the investee’s operational performance. If the estimated fair value of the investment is determined to be less than its carrying value and the decline is considered other than temporary, we would record an impairment charge equal to the difference between the carrying value and estimated fair value.

39

Warrants

The accounting classification of warrants requires management to evaluate the contractual terms of the instruments and determine whether they should be classified as equity or as liabilities. This evaluation requires judgment in assessing whether the warrants meet the criteria for equity classification under applicable accounting guidance, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own stock and whether they meet the conditions for equity classification.

At issuance, the warrants were measured at fair value and recorded within stockholders’ equity because management determined that the warrants meet the requirements for equity classification. The fair value of the warrants at issuance was determined based on the observable market price of the publicly traded warrants and other relevant market information.

Although these warrants are classified within equity and are not subsequently remeasured, the initial classification and valuation required management to evaluate complex contractual provisions and apply judgment in interpreting the relevant accounting guidance. Changes in the interpretation of these contractual terms or the applicable accounting guidance could have resulted in a different accounting classification, which would have required the warrants to be recorded as liabilities and remeasured at fair value in each reporting period.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires management to estimate deferred tax assets and liabilities based on temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities.

Significant judgment is required in assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, including evaluating future taxable income, the reversal of existing temporary differences and potential tax planning strategies. When it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded.

Changes in our expectations regarding future taxable income or the timing of the reversal of temporary differences could result in adjustments to our valuation allowance, which could materially affect income tax expense and results of operations in future periods.

Management has evaluated our tax positions, including our Predecessor’s previous status as a pass-through entity for federal and state tax purposes, and has determined that we have taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the consolidated financial statements. Our reserves related to uncertain tax positions was zero as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. We are currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

A discussion of recently issued accounting standards applicable to the Company is described in Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2025.

Emerging Growth Company Status

We are an emerging growth company as defined in the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act permits companies with emerging growth company status to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards, delaying the adoption of these accounting standards until they would apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting standards as of public company effective dates.

In addition, we intend to rely on the other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an emerging growth company, we intend to rely on such exemptions, we are not required to, among other things: (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion

40

and analysis); and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation-related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.

We will remain an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act until the earliest of (i) the last day of our first fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the closing of XPDB’s initial public offering, (ii) the last date of our fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, (iii) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the rules of the SEC with at least $700.0 million of outstanding securities held by non-affiliates or (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the previous three years.
