- Conversion Rights: Upon default, Next may convert the outstanding principal, interest, and penalties into EzFill common stock. The conversion price is the greater of the 5-day VWAP prior to conversion or a floor price of $0.70, capped at the closing price on the note date.

Material Changes and Related Party Transactions
The filing highlights a significant related-party transaction. Michael Farkas, the CEO and controlling shareholder of Next, beneficially owns approximately 70% of EzFill's outstanding common stock. The $580,000 loan is from a related entity (Next) to the registrant (EzFill).
The filing also reiterates the status of the Exchange Agreement to acquire 100% of Next. As of the filing date, the closing has not occurred. Under the amended agreement, 100,000,000 shares of EzFill stock are to be issued to Next shareholders. Of these, 50,000,000 shares vest immediately upon closing (triggered by Next's prior acquisition of STAT-EI), while the remaining 50,000,000 shares are restricted and subject to vesting based on specific operational and financial milestones.
Guidance, Risks, and Contingencies
- Shareholder Approval: The issuance of stock under the note and the Exchange Agreement is subject to the "Nasdaq 19.99% Cap." If shareholder approval is not obtained to exceed this cap, the remaining balance of the note must be repaid in cash at Next's request.
- Stock Split Adjustments: Both the promissory note and the Exchange Agreement contain provisions to adjust share counts and conversion prices in the event of a stock split or reverse split.
- Vesting Milestones: The restricted shares in the Exchange Agreement vest upon: (1) commercial deployment of a third solar/wireless EV charging/microgrid system; or (2) achieving annual revenues exceeding $100 million, completing projects with deployment costs over $100 million, or completing a capital raise over $25 million.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current trading price of EZFL relative to the $0.70 conversion floor price to assess dilution risk.
- Confirm the status of the pending shareholder vote required to exceed the Nasdaq 19.99% ownership cap for Next.
- Review the specific terms of the equipment purchase for which $379,755.39 was disbursed.
- Monitor the vesting conditions for the 50,000,000 restricted shares, specifically the $100 million revenue and capital raise thresholds.
- Assess the liquidity position of EzFill given the $580,000 debt obligation due in one year and the potential for a 150% penalty upon default.
