Risks

• The company's trucks transport hazardous flammable fuel, which may cause environmental damage and liability to the company.
• The company's cash flow and net income may decrease if it is forced to comply with new governmental regulation surrounding the transportation of fuel.
• The company's current dependence on a single fuel supplier increases its risk of an interruption in fuel supply, impacting its operations.

• Loss of a major customer could result in a decrease in the company's future sales and earnings.
• The company operates in a new industry segment and may be subject to new and existing laws, regulations and oversight.
• NextNRG has a very limited operating history, which makes it difficult to evaluate its business and prospects.

• NextNRG has limited experience with respect to determining the optimal prices and pricing structures for its products and services, which may impact its financial results.
• NextNRG is in a highly competitive EV charging services industry and there can be no assurance that it will be able to compete with many of its competitors which are larger and have greater financial resources.

• A significant percentage of the Company’s common stock is held by a small number of shareholders.
• Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation includes an exclusive forum provision that identifies the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain litigation, including any derivative actions, which could limit our stockholders ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us, our directors, officers or employees.
• We have never paid dividends on our capital stock, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, any gains from an investment in our common stock will likely depend on whether the price of our common stock increases.
• If we fail to comply with the continued listing requirements of NASDAQ, we would face possible delisting, which would result in a limited public market for our shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.
• We have elected to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure requirements applicable to an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act, the information that we provide to stockholders may be different than they might receive from other public companies.
• Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company.
• The Company is a controlled company within the meaning of the applicable rules of Nasdaq and, as a result, we qualify for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements.
