Item
1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 14, 2026, XCF Global, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“XCF
Global” or the “Company”), DevvStream Corp., an Alberta corporation (“DevvStream”), Southern Energy Renewables
Inc., a Louisiana corporation (“Southern Energy”), Southern Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary
of XCF Global (“Southern Merger Sub”), DevvStream Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of XCF
Global (“DevvStream Merger Sub”), EEME Energy SPV I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“EEME”), and GL
PART SPV I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GL”), entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to
the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of April 13, 2026 (the “BCA”), by and among the Company, DevvStream, Southern
Energy, Southern Merger Sub and DevvStream Merger Sub.
The Amendment provides for the following material
modifications to the BCA:
Amendments to Merger Consideration
The Amendment amends the definitions of “Southern
Consideration Shares” and “DevvStream Consideration Shares” to adjust the pro forma ownership percentages of the parties
following the consummation of the mergers contemplated by the BCA (the “Mergers”). As amended:
| ● | The Southern Consideration Shares are defined as a number of fully-paid and non-assessable XCF Global
Common Shares equal to approximately 28.75% of the aggregate number of XCF Global Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior
to the effective time of the Mergers (the “Effective Time”), such that the former holders of Southern Energy shares will hold
approximately 20% of the XCF Global Common Shares immediately following the Effective Time (reduced from approximately 23.3% as originally
contemplated by the BCA). |
| ● | The DevvStream Consideration Shares are defined as a number of fully-paid and non-assessable XCF Global
Common Shares equal to approximately 14.99% of the aggregate number of XCF Global Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior
to the Effective Time, such that the former holders of DevvStream shares will hold approximately 10.43% of the XCF Global Common Shares
immediately following the Effective Time (increased from approximately 10.0% as originally contemplated by the BCA). |
| ● | XCF Global’s existing stockholders immediately prior to the Effective Time will hold approximately
69.57% of the XCF Global Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately following the Effective Time (increased from approximately 66.7%
as originally contemplated by the BCA). |
Amendments to Closing Conditions
The Amendment deletes or modifies the following closing conditions under the BCA:
| ● | Minimum Southern Capitalization Condition. The requirement that the aggregate amount of Southern
Energy’s unrestricted cash and cash equivalents plus all “Plant Conversion Funding” funded to XCF Global prior to the
Effective Time equal at least $10,000,000 was deleted. |
| ● | Southern Investment Bank Condition. The requirements that Southern Energy have completed an engagement
with an investment bank to sell a bond offering and be in an acceptable process of procuring the bond with respect to the issuance of
bonds by Southern Energy was deleted. |
| ● | Company Revenue Run-Rate Condition. The requirement that the gross revenue of XCF Global for its
blended fuel product exceed $1,000,000,000 on an annualized, go-forward basis no later than June 30, 2026, and that annualized EBITDA
equal at least $100,000,000, was deleted. |
| ● | Nasdaq Sweden Condition. The requirement that the XCF Global common shares to be issued have been
approved for listing on Nasdaq Sweden (and/or any other European or Asian securities exchange) was deleted. |
| ● | HSR Act Requirements. The requirement that XCF Global obtain clearance under the HSR Act and that
such Required Regulatory Approval shall have been made was deleted. |
GL Investment Condition
The effectiveness of the Amendment is conditioned
on the concurrent closing of a $1,000,000 investment by GL in XCF Global through the Company’s warrant program (the “GL Investment”),
under which as previously announced, GL may purchase warrants to acquire common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $2.50 per
share, which the Company believes demonstrates GL’s belief in the Company’s potential future growth in shareholder value of
the Company.
EEME and GL Post-Closing Funding Commitment
From and after the Closing, (x) within three (3) months following the
closing of the business combination, each of EEME and GL shall fund, or cause to be funded, to XCF Global cash proceeds in an aggregate
amount of not less than $4,373,000 plus the Shortfall Amount (as defined below), and (y) within twelve (12) months following the closing
of the business combination, each of EEME and GL shall use commercially reasonable efforts to fund, or cause to be funded, to XCF Global
cash proceeds in an additional aggregate amount of not less than $50,000,000, in the case of each of clauses (x) and (y) whether funded
by EEME, GL or a combination thereof and whether through XCF Global’s warrant program or through any other financing arrangement
mutually agreed between EEME or GL, as applicable, and XCF Global ((x) and (y) together, the “Funding Commitment”). The “Shortfall
Amount” shall mean the amount by which $ 4,627,000 exceeds the sum of (x) any amounts set forth on Schedule 5.3 to the Amendment
that XCF Global reasonably determines were not invested into Southern Energy prior to the date of the Amendment and (y) any amounts set
forth on such Schedule 5.3 that were so invested into Southern Energy but that XCF Global reasonably determines were not utilized by Southern
Energy appropriately. In addition, EEME and GL have agreed to the additional post-Closing commitment described in a schedule to the Amendment.
The foregoing description of the Amendment does
not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as
Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

postponed to September 24, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The Special Meeting will continue to be held as a virtual meeting. Registration

Updated proxy materials, including a copy of the
Amendment and supplemental disclosure, will be filed with the SEC and will be available at www.sec.gov. XCF Global stockholders may also

After considering the relevant facts surrounding the Amendment, including but not limited to the increase in consideration to be received
by XCF Global stockholders and the removal of certain conditions precedent to closing of the Business Combination, and upon receiving
advice from its external advisors, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) determined that the Amendment is in
the best interest of the Company and approved the Amendment.
The Board unanimously recommends that XCF Global stockholders vote “FOR” the XCF Global Authorized Stock Increase Proposal,
“FOR” the XCF Global Stock Issuance Proposal, “FOR” the XCF Global Director Election Proposal, “FOR”
the XCF Global 2025 Equity Incentive Plan Increase Proposal and, if necessary, “FOR” the XCF Global Adjournment Proposal.

the anticipated completion of the plant conversion, the achievement of specified financial and operational milestones, the anticipated
issuance of state-supported bonds by Southern Energy, the valuation the parties are aiming to achieve following the consummation of the
Business Combination, and the expected benefits of the Business Combination. All statements, other than statements of historical facts,
are forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the expected timing, structure and terms of the Business Combination; the
ability of the parties to complete the Business Combination considering the various closing conditions; the expected or targeted benefits
of the Business Combination; legal, economic and regulatory conditions; and any assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Forward-looking
statements are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties

factors that could cause actual results, developments or outcomes to differ materially include, among others: (1) changes in domestic
and foreign business, market, financial, political, regulatory and legal conditions; (2) the risk that the plant conversion is delayed,
not completed on the anticipated timeline, or requires additional capital beyond current expectations; (3) the risk that XCF Global is
unable to achieve the specified annualized revenue and EBITDA thresholds, which depend in significant part on XCF Global’s business
performance, operating results, market demand, execution capabilities and other factors; (4) the risk that Southern Energy does not receive
authorization to issue up to $400 million of bonds, that such bonds are delayed, issued on less favorable terms or not issued at all;
(5) the risk that XCF Global is unable to obtain or maintain compliance with applicable Nasdaq continued listing standards, including
regaining compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement, which could result in delisting if compliance is not regained within
applicable cure periods; (6) the inability to satisfy or waive the closing conditions contemplated by the BCA; (7) the occurrence of events,
changes or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the BCA, or that could result in disputes or litigation relating
to the interpretation, enforceability or performance of the BCA; (8) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against
XCF Global, DevvStream, Southern Energy, EEME or their respective affiliates, which could be costly, time-consuming, divert management
attention and adversely affect liquidity or financial condition; (9) uncertainty with respect to the scope, timing or completion of due
diligence by any party and each party’s satisfaction therewith; (10) uncertainty regarding valuations, capital structure, financing
arrangements, equity ownership or the allocation of economic interests contemplated by the BCA; (11) changes to the structure, timing
or terms of the Business Combination that may be required or deemed appropriate as a result of applicable laws, regulations, accounting
considerations, stock exchange requirements or regulatory guidance; (12) the risk that required regulatory, governmental, stock exchange
or shareholder approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to conditions that could adversely affect the parties or the expected
benefits of the Business Combination; (13) the risk that the announcement of the BCA or the pursuit of the contemplated transactions disrupts
current plans, operations or relationships of XCF Global, DevvStream or Southern Energy; (14) the risk that anticipated benefits of any
contemplated transaction are not realized due to competition, execution challenges, market conditions or the inability to grow and manage
operations profitably; (15) costs, expenses and management distraction associated with the BCA, negotiations, potential litigation and
any contemplated transactions; (16) changes in applicable laws, regulations or enforcement priorities, including extensive regulation
and compliance obligations applicable to the parties’ businesses; and (17) other economic, business, competitive, operational or
financial factors beyond management’s control, including those described under “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in XCF Global’s and DevvStream’s filings with the SEC, including their most
recent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and subsequent filings. There may be additional risks that XCF Global, DevvStream, Southern Energy
and EEME do not presently know or that they currently believe are not material that could also cause actual results to differ materially
from those contained in the forward-looking statements.
Although the business combination agreement is
binding on the parties, it does not obligate the parties to consummate the proposed transaction. The consummation of the proposed transaction
remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of applicable closing conditions, and the business combination agreement may be terminated
