The Albany Gazette - XCF Global Withdraws Reverse Stock Split Proposal; Reaffirms Growth Strategy and Shareholder Support

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / November 2, 2026 / XCF Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:SAFX) ("XCF" or the "Company"), a U.S.-based producer of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel, today announced that its Board of Directors has decided not to proceed with the proposed reverse stock split and to discontinue the related proxy solicitation. The Board reached this decision after considering shareholder feedback and the Company's strategic priorities, with a focus on directing resources toward business execution, financial results, and long-term value creation.

"We see substantial opportunity to build value through the continued development of our alternative fuels business," said Chris Cooper, XCF Global Chief Executive Officer. "Our priorities are clear: produce and sell more fuel, deepen customer relationships and translate our expanded platform into stronger operating and financial performance. Following discussions with our largest shareholder, we are moving forward with a shared focus on XCF's long-term potential."

With this decision, XCF will direct its resources toward the operating and commercial priorities it believes offer the greatest opportunity to build long-term shareholder value: increasing fuel production and shipments, expanding customer relationships and strengthening financial performance and advancing opportunities to grow production capacity. The Company's recent combinations with DevvStream and Southern Energy Renewables broaden its platform across both today and future technology pathways for renewable fuel production as well as environmental-asset monetization in support of reduced carbon emissions from transportation, domestic energy resilience and security, and alternative uses for agricultural waste products. Additionally, the company will focus on completing and integrating the recently announced acquisition of the Paramount, California facility, which adds ~50 million annual gallons of renewable fuel production capacity, as well as significant blending, storage and distribution capabilities strategically located in Southern California in close proximity to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Long Beach Airport (LGB).

XCF's largest shareholder, EEME Energy SPV I LLC, added that "We fully support the company's decision not to proceed with the reverse stock split and have unwavering conviction in the company's operational trajectory, expanding alternative fuels asset footprint, and long-term intrinsic value. When evaluating XCF's operational milestones and projected financial performance, supported by sustained commercial production, binding off-take commitments, strategic facility integration, and substantial revenue scaling, EEME believes that executing against 2027 and longer-term operating goals will strengthen the company's financial performance and drive listing compliance, market re-rating, and robust equity appreciation. With its substantial long-term equity commitment, lock-up alignment, and ongoing strategic capitalization initiatives, EEME remains committed to supporting the company's management and long-term growth."

"We believe sustained execution is the foundation of lasting shareholder value," added Wray Thorn, XCF Director, President and Chief Financial Officer. "Our focus remains on delivering measurable progress, and we look forward to updating shareholders as we advance our commercial and operational priorities."

Nasdaq Listing Update

As previously disclosed, XCF has until December 7, 2026, to regain compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement. Withdrawal of the reverse stock split proposal does not resolve the Company's noncompliance. There can be no assurance that XCF will regain compliance within the applicable period, and failure to do so is expected to result in delisting. A delisting could adversely affect trading liquidity, investors' ability to buy or sell the Company's shares and access to capital.
