Material Changes and Corporate Actions
Entry into Material Definitive Agreement (Item 1.01)
On March 27, 2026, NeoVolta entered into a Sales Agreement with Needham & Company, LLC to sell shares via an "at-the-market" (ATM) offering. Sales may occur on the Nasdaq Capital Market or through negotiated transactions. The Company retains the right to suspend sales during periods of material non-public information.
Executive Leadership Changes (Item 5.02)
On March 26, 2026, the Board appointed Steve Bond as Executive Vice President, effective immediately. Concurrently, his role as Chief Financial Officer will terminate on May 18, 2026. An amendment to his employment agreement reflects this transition.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Outlook and Management Commentary: The Company intends to utilize the ATM facility based on market conditions and capital needs. There is no obligation to sell any shares, and sales are subject to suspension by either party.
Risks and Contingencies:
- Market Risk: Sales depend on prevailing market prices and conditions.
- Termination Risk: Either party may terminate the Sales Agreement with five days' prior written notice. Needham may terminate immediately upon certain adverse events.
- Dilution: The issuance of shares under the Sales Agreement will result in dilution to existing shareholders.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the current trading price of NeoVolta common stock (NEOV) to assess potential dilution impact from the $30 million ATM offering.
- Confirm the identity and qualifications of the incoming Chief Financial Officer, as Steve Bond's tenure as CFO ends May 18, 2026.
- Review the full text of the Sales Agreement (Exhibit 1.1) for specific limitations on daily sales volumes or minimum price floors.
- Monitor subsequent filings to determine if and when shares are actually sold under the new agreement.
