As part of the definitive agreement, XCF would assume certain debt obligations and issue shares of its Class A Common Stock to Target's shareholders.The proposed transaction, if completed, would represent a significant expansion of XCF's infrastructure and logistics capabilities, and an important step toward vertical integration that is expected to unlock meaningful operational and financial benefits both immediately and going forward. XCF intends to integrate and leverage Target's pretreatment, feedstock, and logistics infrastructure, including marine, truck, and rail access, and advantageous proximity to major transportation networks serving high-demand SAF markets.Strategic HighlightsThe transaction would advance several key goals of XCF's long-term strategy:Increased visibility on feedstocks and security of high-purity feedstock pretreatment capabilitiesExpand reach and help maximize supply optionality into the U.S. West Coast and California LCFS marketsImprove vertical integration to reduce production costs and increase marginsAdd scalable assets that support international licensing and growthEnhance optionality around future commercial partnershipsMihir Dange, Chief Executive Officer and Board Chair of XCF Global said:"This IOI signals continued execution of our growth strategy to build a fully integrated, Nasdaq-listed SAF and renewable fuels platform.

Through this proposed acquisition, XCF advances its mission of building a scalable, capital-efficient platform for clean fuel production across North America."A Transformational Opportunity for Scale and ReachXCF is rapidly building the foundation for a vertically integrated, scalable SAF and renewable fuels platform with global reach. In addition to its U.S. production facility, XCF has recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding to expand its SAF platform into Australia and is in early-stage discussions with potential partners for other international infrastructure development projects.The proposed transaction would add:Strategic access to maritime port infrastructure facilitating both domestic and international logisticsDirect reach into California LCFS markets and high growth international airports across the stateCritical feedstock processing capabilities including pretreatment, UCO processing, and feedstock blending that can be integrated into XCF's renewable fuels platform or used to create new revenue streamsComplementary infrastructure to reduce logistics costs and support credit generationPath ForwardThe IOI sets out a 20-business day exclusive negotiation period, during which XCF and Target will complete confirmatory diligence and negotiate an offer. The proposed transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions, confirmatory diligence, and regulatory and board approvals."There's never been more demand for real, scalable renewable fuels solutions," added Dange. "This combination would allow us to expand our footprint, control our feedstock pipeline, and create value at every step of the supply chain - from raw materials to fuels."Definitive agreements are expected to be completed in the coming months, with legal, technical, and commercial diligence already underway.
