On January 9, 2026, XCF Global, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Transition Agreement with Simon Oxley, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), effective immediately (the “Transition Agreement”). In consideration for certain covenants by Mr. Oxley, the Company granted 5,246,260 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to Mr. Oxley pursuant to the terms of the Transition Agreement. The Company agreed to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) underlying the RSUs within ninety days following the date the shares underlying the RSUs are issued. Mr. Oxley’s departure was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices. Mr. Oxley will remain with the Company in a consulting role to assist with the transition of CFO duties.

In connection with the Transition Agreement, on January 9, 2026, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with Mr. Oxley (the “Consulting Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Consulting Agreement, Mr. Oxley agreed to provide certain services to the Company, including, but not limited to, supporting ongoing requirements pertaining to a certain acquisition project (the “Project”). In exchange for Mr. Oxley’s services, the Company agreed to pay a monthly fee equal to either 26,500 shares of Common Stock or $20,000, at the Company’s option. Additionally, the Company agreed to grant 2,753,740 shares of Common Stock if the Project closes and Mr. Oxley continued to work in a leadership role on such Project through the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Signing Date”) governing the Project or if the Consulting Agreement is terminated by the Company other than for cause prior to the Signing Date and the Project closes within twelve months from the date of such termination. The Consulting Agreement shall continue on a month-to-month basis until the signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement for the Project.

On January 12, 2026, pursuant to an agreement with ZRG Interim Solutions (“ZRG”), dated December 29, 2025 (the “Services Agreement”), the Company appointed William Dale as its CFO, effective immediately.

Earlier in his career, from January 2015 to August 2020, Mr. Dale served as Chief Financial Officer of Kerogen Exploration LLC, a privately held exploration and production company backed by Riverstone Holdings LLC, where he was responsible for financial management, capital controls, and transaction execution across U.S. and international assets.
