FAQ

What does Elite Express (ETS) change in its Form 10-K/A?

Elite Express updates its annual report only to add Exhibit 97.1, the Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy adopted on May 2, 2025. No other disclosures from the original Form 10-K are modified or updated by this amendment.

Why did Elite Express (ETS) file this 10-K/A amendment?

The company filed the amendment because its Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy, labeled Exhibit 97.1, was inadvertently omitted from the original Form 10-K. The 10-K/A corrects that omission by formally including the policy as an exhibit.

Does the Elite Express 10-K/A change any 2025 financial results?

The amendment does not change any financial statements or other disclosures from the original Form 10-K. It is limited to adding Exhibit 97.1 and related officer certifications, with all other information remaining as originally filed.

What is Exhibit 97.1 in Elite Express (ETS) 10-K/A?

Exhibit 97.1 is the Elite Express Holding Inc. Incentive Compensation Recovery Policy adopted on May 2, 2025. This exhibit outlines the company’s policy on recovering certain incentive-based compensation, and is now formally attached to the annual report.

Does Elite Express update information after the original 10-K date?

The amendment states it speaks only as of the original Form 10-K filing date and does not reflect subsequent events. It specifically notes that aside from adding Exhibit 97.1, no disclosures are modified or updated in this filing.

What certifications are included in Elite Express’s 10-K/A?

The amendment includes new certifications under Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Because no financial statements are included and internal control items are unchanged, paragraphs 3, 4, and 5 of those certifications have been omitted as described.
