These shares were purchased using available cash of the Reporting Person.

Chardan NexTech Acquisition 2 Corp. (“Chardan”), Legacy Dragonfly, and Bronco Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) entered into that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated May 15, 2022, and as amended by the Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement, dated July 12, 2022 (as so amended, the “Business Combination Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy Dragonfly effective October 7, 2022 (the “Merger”), with Legacy Dragonfly continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Chardan upon the closing of the transactions contemplated therein. In connection with the closing of the Merger on October 7, 2022 (the “Closing”), Chardan filed a Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State pursuant to which, among other things, the name of Chardan was changed to Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp.

 

At the Closing, and after giving effect to the conversion of Legacy Dragonfly Preferred Stock into Dragonfly common stock pursuant to Legacy Dragonfly’s governing documents, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Chardan, Merger Sub, Legacy Dragonfly or the holders of any of the following securities:

 

(a)

Each outstanding share of Legacy Dragonfly’s common stock par value $0.001 per share (the “Legacy Dragonfly Common Stock”)converted into (i) a certain number of shares of Common Stock, totaling 41,500,000 shares (including the conversion and assumption of the options to purchase shares of Legacy Dragonfly Common Stock described below), which is equal to (x) $415,000,000 divided by (y) $10.00 (the “Merger Consideration”) and (ii) the contingent right to receive Earnout Shares (as defined below) (which may be zero) following the Closing.

 

(b)

Each option to purchase shares of Legacy Dragonfly Common Stock, was assumed and converted into an option to acquire shares of Common Stock. The portion of the Merger Consideration reflecting the conversion of the Legacy Dragonfly options was calculated assuming that all the Issuer’s options are net-settled. With respect to the Issuer’s options received in respect of Legacy Dragonfly options that are outstanding immediately prior to the Closing and cash exercised after the Closing, up to 627,498 additional shares of the Common Stock may be issued. At the Closing, approximately 38,576,648 shares of the Merger Consideration was allocated to holders of outstanding shares of Legacy Dragonfly Common Stock and 3,664,975 shares of the Merger Consideration was allocated to holders of the assumed Legacy Dragonfly options.

The first tranche of 15,000,000 shares is issuable if the Issuer’s 2023 total audited revenue is equal to or greater than $250 million and the Issuer’s 2023 audited operating income is equal to or greater than $35 million. The second tranche of 12,500,000 shares is issuable upon achieving a volume-weighted average trading price threshold of the Common Stock of at least $22.50 on or prior to December 31, 2026, and the third tranche of 12,500,000 shares is issuable upon achieving a volume-weighted average trading price threshold of the Common Stock of at least $32.50 on or prior to December 31, 2028. To the extent not previously earned, the second tranche is issuable if the $32.50 price target is achieved by December 31, 2028.

 

Upon the consummation of a change of control transaction during either the second milestone earnout period or the third milestone earnout period, any earnout milestone with respect to such earnout period that has not yet been achieved shall automatically be deemed to have been achieved if a change of control transaction is announced with an imputed share price of the Common Stock of at least $22.50 on or prior to the second earnout period or $32.50 on prior to the third earnout period.
