Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13(a)-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act . Our system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., and our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and our directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the system of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded our system of internal control over financial reportin g was effective as of December 31, 2025.
This Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC to permit us to provide only management’s report in this Form 10-K.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There are no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2025, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitation on the Effectiveness Over Financial Reporting
The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the
76
inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute assurances. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business, but there can be no assurance that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.

Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards Close in Time to the Release of Material Nonpublic Information
While we do not have a formal written policy in place with regard to the timing of awards of options in relation to the disclosure of material nonpublic information, our Board and the Compensation Committee do not seek to time equity grants to take advantage of information, either positive or negative, about our Company that has not been publicly disclosed. Similarly, it is our practice not to time the release of material nonpublic information based on equity award grant date or for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we did not grant stock options four business days before or one business day following the release of material non-public information.

Intellectual Property Acquisition and Research Activities
On November 7, 2017, the Company entered into an intellectual property acquisition agreement (the “IP Acquisition Agreement”) with the University of Delaware, a beneficial owner of less than 5% of the outstanding the Company common stock. Pursuant to the IP Acquisition Agreement, the University of Delaware assigned to the Company certain of the key patents underlying its V2G technology.
Under the agreement, the Company agreed to make certain milestone payments to the University of Delaware in the aggregate amount of up to $7,500,000 based on the achievement of certain substantial commercialization targets.
The IP Acquisition Agreement terminates upon the later of the date all the milestone payments described above are made and the expiration date of the patents transferred to the Company. If the University of Delaware terminates the agreement upon the material breach by the Company of certain limited provisions of the IP Acquisition Agreement (which do not include the milestone payment provisions) that is not cured with 45 days after notice from the university, the Company will be required to assign the patents back to the university. In the event the University of Delaware notifies the Company of a third party’s interest in a region in which the patents are valid, and the Company does not within 60 days inform the university that either it intends to address the region pursuant to a commercially reasonable development plan or it intends to enter into a license agreement with an identified third party, the Company will be deemed to have granted to the University of Delaware an exclusive sublicensable license to the patents in the unaddressed region.
In addition, on September 1, 2016, the Company entered into a research agreement with the University of Delaware, whereby the university performs research activity as specified annually by the Company. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company pays a minimum of $400,000 annually in equal quarterly installments, subject to achievement of certain milestones. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, $122,928 and $124,000, respectively, were paid under the research agreement.
Deep Impact

We hold a 51% equity interest by way of Nuvve CPO, and WISE holds a 49% equity interest. Deep Impact is an entity formed for the principal purpose of operation, installation, maintenance of electric vehicle chargers and other related activities and services created as a business venture between us, Nuvve CPO and WISE. Nuvve CPO Inc., or Nuvve Charge Point Operator, was established in August 2024 to support the deployment and ongoing support of our customers charging station networks.
In connection with Deep Impact, Nuvve CPO, WISE and Deep Impact entered into a Contribution and Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”), pursuant to which Nuvve CPO and WISE agreed to contribute $51 and $49, respectively, to Deep Impact, and to provide certain services pursuant to separate services agreements with Deep Impact. For such contributions and the services, Nuvve CPO received 51 membership units in Deep Impact, equal to a 51% equity interest, and WISE received 49 membership units in Deep Impact, equal to a 49% equity interest.
As described in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in connection with the formation of the Deep Impact (see Note 1 ), Promissory Notes (each a “SPV Promissory Note”) with a conversion option were issued to each of Gregory Poilasne and David Robson, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, respectively, in exchange for an aggregate of $1,500,000, to further support project costs in exchange for their investment into Deep Impact.

Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions
The Company’s written related party transaction policy requires the Company’s directors, nominees for director, officers, employees and 5% stockholders, and their immediate family members, to avoid, wherever possible, all related party transactions. Related-party transactions are defined as transactions in which (1) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year, (2) the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a participant, and (3) any (a) executive officer, director or nominee for election as a director, (b) greater than 5% beneficial owner of the Company common stock, or (c) immediate family member, of the persons referred to in clauses (a) and (b), has or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or a less than 10% beneficial owner of another entity). In addition, the Company’s written code of ethics requires the Company’s directors, officers and employees to avoid conflicts of interest. A conflict of interest situation can arise when a person takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise if a person, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position.
The Company’s audit committee, pursuant to its written charter and related party transaction policy, is responsible for reviewing and approving related-party transactions to the extent the Company enters into such transactions. All ongoing and future transactions between the Company and any of its officers and directors or their respective affiliates shall be approved only if such transactions are on terms believed by the audit committee to be no less favorable to the Company than are available from unaffiliated third parties and such transaction does not constitute a conflict of interest. The audit committee, in its sole discretion, may impose such conditions as it deems appropriate on the Company or the related party in connection with the approval of the related party transaction. Upon approval by the audit committee, the related party transaction and any conditions thereon will be presented to the Board for approval by a majority of its disinterested independent members.
Prior to entering into the proposed transaction, related parties are required to notify the Company’s Chief Financial Officer of the facts and circumstances of the proposed transaction. Additionally, the Company requires each of its directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.
These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.
Director Independence
We utilize the Nasdaq listing rules in determining whether a director is independent. The Nasdaq rules generally define an “independent director” as a person, other than an executive officer of a company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the issuer’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.
Messrs. Poilasne and Smith are not considered to be independent due to their respective roles as executive officers of the Company. The Board has determined that each of Mr. Montgomery, Mr. Sherman, Ms. Huang and Mr. Johnson qualifies as an independent director, and that the Board currently consists of a majority of independent directors, as such term is defined under the Nasdaq rules. In making this determination, our Board considered the current and prior relationships, as applicable, that each of Mr. Montgomery, Mr. Sherman, Ms. Huang and Mr. Johnson has with our Company and all other facts and circumstances our Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including their beneficial ownership of our capital stock. In addition, we are subject to the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq relating to the membership, qualifications, and operations of the audit committee, the compensation committee, and the nominating and corporate governance committee, as discussed below.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Nuvve Holding Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Nuvve Holding Corp. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders' deficit and mezzanine equity, and cash flows, for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations, has debt maturing within 12 months from issuance of the financial statements, and has an accumulated deficit, that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Series A Convertible Preferred stock – Refer to Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
On December 30, 2025, pursuant to a private placement offering, the Company issued an aggregate of 6,000 shares of series A preferred stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,534,856 shares of Common Stock to certain institutional investors. The Company received aggregate proceeds of $5,400,000, net of a 10% original issue discount (gross stated value of
F-2
$6,000,000) or $900 purchase price per share of each Series A convertible preferred stock and accompanying warrants prior to deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses.
We identified the accounting for the Series A convertible preferred stock issuance as a critical audit matter. Specifically, evaluating the appropriate accounting treatment is complex and involves various judgements related to classification and recognition associated with the multiple financial instruments included in the issuance. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort when performing audit procedures.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock issuance included the following, among others:
• We obtained and inspected the agreements related to the Series A convertible preferred stock issuance.
• We assessed the appropriateness of management's interpretation and application of the relevant accounting literature by performing the following procedures:
◦ Assessed the identification of freestanding financial instruments issued in connection with the transaction.
◦ Evaluated the classification of the preferred stock, including mezzanine equity presentation.
◦ Assessed management’s identification and evaluation of embedded features.
◦ Evaluated the recognition of each identified financial instrument including management’s method for allocating proceeds among the financial instruments issued

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – Organization and Description of Business
(a) Description of Business
Nuvve Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation headquartered in San Diego, California (the “Company” or “Nuvve”), was founded on November 10, 2020 under the laws of the state of Delaware. On March 19, 2021, the Company (at the time known as NB Merger Corp.) acquired the outstanding shares of Nuvve Corporation (“Nuvve Corp.”), and the Company changed its name to Nuvve Holding Corp.
The Company owns 100 % of Nuvve Corporation, a Delaware corporation headquartered in San Diego, California (“Nuvve Corp.”), which was founded on October 18, 2010, to develop and commercialize Vehicle to Grid ("V2G") and grid modernization technologies including advanced energy storage solutions. Nuvve has developed a proprietary V2G technology, including the Company’s Grid Integrated Vehicle (“GIVe ™ ”) cloud-based software platform, that enables it to link multiple electric vehicle ("EV") batteries into a virtual power plant ("VPP") to provide bi-directional energy to the electrical grid in a qualified and secure manner. The VPP can generate revenue by selling or making available to utility companies excess energy when the price is relatively high or buying energy when the price is relatively low. The V2G technology may allow energy users to reduce energy peak consumption and enable utilities to reduce the required internally generated peak demand. Nuvve’s technology is patent protected. Nuvve’s first commercial operation was proven in Copenhagen in 2016. Since then, Nuvve has established operations in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Denmark. In addition to Nuvve’s algorithms and software, Nuvve provides complete V2G solutions to its customers, including V2G bi-directional chargers which are preconfigured to work with Nuvve’s GIVe platform. The Company’s technology is compatible with several charger manufacturers both in Direct Current ("DC") (such as CHAdeMO, a DC charging standard for electric vehicles, enabling seamless communication between the vehicle and the charger) and Alternative Current ("AC") mode.
(b) Reverse Stock Split
At the Company’s Special Meeting of Stockholders held on January 5, 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to authorize a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, at a ratio within the range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-40. The Board approved a 1-for-40 reverse split ratio, and on January 19, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the reverse split effective January 19, 2024 (the “January 2024 Reverse Stock Split”). The January 2024 Reverse Stock Split is already reflected in the year ended December 31, 2024 consolidated financial statement balances.
Additionally, at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on September 9, 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to authorize a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, at a ratio within the range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-10. The Board approved a 1-for-10 reverse split ratio, and on September 16, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the reverse split effective September 17, 2024 (the “September 2024 Reverse Stock Split”). The September 2024 Reverse Stock Split is already reflected in the year ended December 31, 2024 consolidated financial statement balances.
Further, at the Company’s Special Meeting of Stockholders held on October 6, 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to authorize a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, at a ratio within the range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-40. The Board approved a 1-for-40 reverse split ratio, and on December 11, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the reverse split effective December 15, 2025 (the “December 2025 Reverse Stock Split”, and together with the September 2024 Reverse Stock Split and January 2024 Reverse Stock Split, the “Reverse Stock Splits”).
The Reverse Stock Splits were also applicable to the Company’s outstanding warrants, stock options and restricted stock units. The number of shares of common stock into which these outstanding securities are convertible or exercisable were adjusted proportionately as a result of the Reverse Stock Spli ts. The exercise prices of any outstanding warrants or stock options were also proportionately adjusted in accordance with the terms of those securities and the Company’s equity incentive plans. The Re verse Stock Splits did not affect the number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock or the par value of the common stock. All issued and outstanding common stock, options to purchase common stock, warrants to purchase common stock and per share amounts contained in the consolidated financial statement have been retroactively adjusted to reflect each of the December 2025 Reverse Stock Split, the January 2024 Reverse Stock Split and the September 2024 Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).
In accordance with the related Going Concern accounting standards, the Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the consolidated financial statements are issued. Since inception, the Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations and has an accumulated deficit of $ 196.4 million and $ 165.6 million as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively . During the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 , the Company incurred an operating loss of $ 32.2 million and $ 20.5 million, respectively, and used $ 16.6 million and $ 15.7 million, respectively, of cash in operations. The Company continues to expect to generate operating losses and negative cash flows and will need additional funding to support its planned operating activities through profitability and to repay its $ 1.7 million of debt due within a year after these financial statements are issued. The transition to profitability is dependent upon the successful expanded commercialization of the Company's GIVe platform and the achievement of a level of revenues adequate to support its cost structure.
Management plans to fund current operations and satisfy its other obligations through increased revenues and raising additional capital. Management's expectations with respect to the Company’s ability to fund current operations and its other obligations are based on estimates that are subject to risks and uncertainties. There is an inherent risk that the Company may not achieve such financial projections and if so, cash outflows could be higher than currently anticipated. However, as such plans are not solely within management’s control management cannot conclude as of the date of this filing that the plans are probable of being successfully implemented and as such has concluded that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the date of issuance of our financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
(b) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and its consolidated variable interest entity. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Variable Interest Entities
Pursuant to the consolidation guidance, the Company first evaluates whether it holds a variable interest in an entity in which it has a financial relationship and, if so, whether or not that entity is a variable interest entity ("VIE"). A VIE is an entity with insufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or in which equity investors at risk lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. If an entity is determined to be a VIE, the Company evaluates whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary analysis is a qualitative analysis based on power and economics. The Company concludes that it is the primary beneficiary and consolidates the VIE if the Company has both (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly influence the VIE's economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
The Company formed Deep Impact with Nuvve CPO and WISE, in which the Company owns 51 % of Deep Impact's common units. The Company has determined that Deep Impact is a VIE in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the Company consolidates Deep Impact and records a non-controlling interest for the share of the entity owned by WISE.
The Company formed Fermata with Preferred Members, in which the Company owns 51 % of the entity. The Company has determined that Fermata is a VIE in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the Company consolidates Fermata and records a non-controlling interest for the share of the entity owned by the Preferred Members.
The Company formed Levo with Stonepeak and Evolve, in which the Company owned 51 % of Levo's common units. The Company had determined that Levo was a VIE in which the Company was the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the Company consolidated Levo and recorded a non-controlling interest for the share of the entity owned by Stonepeak and Evolve. On October 15, 2024, the Company, Stonepeak, and Evolve entered into a Limited Liability Company Interest Sale Agreement, pursuant to which Stonepeak and Evolve sold their combined 49 % membership interest in Levo to the Company for a de minimis price. In connection with, and pursuant to Stonepeak and Evolve's sale of their combined interest in Levo to the Company ( See Note 1 ), the Company became the 100 % owner of Levo. On December 13, 2024, the Company dissolved Levo as an entity.

Assets and Liabilities of Consolidated VIEs
The Company's consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The other equity holders’ interests are reflected in "Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests" in the consolidated statements of operations and "Non-controlling interests" in the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 18 for details of non-controlling interests.
The creditors of the consolidated VIE do not have recourse to the Company other than to the assets of the consolidated VIEs. The following table summarizes the carrying amounts of VIE's and non-controlling interests assets and liabilities included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets:

(c) Non-controlling interests
The Company presents non-controlling interests as a component of equity on its consolidated balance sheets and reports the portion of its earnings or loss for non-controlling interest as net earnings or loss attributable to non-controlling interests in the consolidated statements of operations.
(d) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include the impairment of intangible assets, the net realizable value of inventory, the fair value of share-based payments, lease incremental borrowing rate, revenue recognition, the fair value of warrants, fair value of convertible notes, the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions, annual bonus accrual, and the recognition and disclosure of contingent liabilities.
Management evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis. Actual results could materially vary from those estimates.
(e) Warrants
The Company reviews the terms of warrants to purchase its common stock to determine whether warrants should be classified as liabilities or stockholders’ equity in its consolidated balance sheet. In order for a warrant to be classified in stockholders’ equity, the warrant must be (a) indexed to the Company’s equity and (b) meet the conditions for equity classification in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity . If a warrant does not meet the conditions for equity classification, it is carried on the consolidated balance sheet as a warrant liability measured at fair value, with subsequent changes in the fair value of the warrant recorded in the statement of operations as change in fair value of warrants in other income (expense). If a warrant meets both conditions for equity classification, the warrant is initially recorded in additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheets, and the amount initially recorded is not subsequently remeasured at fair value.

NUVVE HOLDING CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(f) Foreign Currency Matters
For Nuvve Corp., Nuvve SaS, Nuvve Japan Corporation, and Nuvve LTD, the functional currency is the U.S. dollar. All local foreign currency asset and liability amounts are remeasured into U.S. dollars at balance sheet date exchange rates, except for inventories, prepaid expenses, and property, plant, and equipment, which are remeasured at historical rates. Foreign currency revenue and expenses are remeasured at average exchange rates in effect during the year, except for expenses related to balance sheet amounts which are remeasured at historical exchange rates. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations.
The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s non-U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiary, Nuvve Denmark, are measured using the subsidiary’s local currency as the functional currency. The Company translates the assets and liabilities of Nuvve Denmark into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses for the subsidiary are translated using rates that approximate those in effect during the period. The resulting translation gain and loss adjustments are reflected as a foreign currency translation adjustment in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets. Foreign currency translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
(g) Cash and Restricted Cash
The Company maintains cash balances that can, at times, exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which is up to $250,000. The Company has not experienced any losses in these accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in this area. In connection with a new office lease agreement, the Company was required to provide irrevocable, unconditional letter of credit to the landlord upon execution of the lease. The total amount securing the letter of credit and recorded as restricted cash as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $ 320,000 .
(h) Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consist primarily of payments due from customers under the Company’s contracts with customers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers to assess the probability of accounts receivable collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction experience with the customer, assessment of their credit history, and review of the invoicing terms of the contract. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses on customer accounts when deemed necessary. Based on the analysis, the Compa ny recorded an allowance for credit losses as o f December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. See Note 6 for details.
(i) Concentrations of Credit Risk
At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash in financial institutions (in excess of federally insured limits) and trade receivables.
The Company had certain customers whose revenue individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue, or whose accounts receivable balances individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total accounts receivable, as follows:
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, two customers accounted for 20.3 %, and three customers accounted for 33.2 % of total revenue, respectively.
During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company's top five customers accounted for approximately 39.5 % and 42.3 %, respectively, o f the Company’s total revenue.
At December 31, 2025, three customers in aggregate accounted for 41.6 % of accounts receivable. At December 31, 2024, three customers in aggregate accounted for 71.6 % of accounts receivable.
Approximately 56.6 % and 81.3 % of the Company’s trade accounts receivable balance was with five customers at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company estimates its maximum credit risk for accounts receivable at the amount recorded on the balance sheet. The trade accounts receivables are generally short-term and all potential credit losses have been appropriately considered in establishing the allowance for doubtful accounts.
(j) Inventories
Inventories, consisting primarily of DC chargers, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company values its inventories using the first-in, first-out method. Cost includes purchased products. Net realizable value is based on current
F-13
NUVVE HOLDING CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
selling prices less costs of disposal. At December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company’s inventories consisted solely of finished goods, components parts and carbon credits. Should demand for the Company’s products prove to be significantly less than anticipated, the ultimate realizable value of the Company’s inventories could be substantially less than the amount shown on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
(k) Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective asset. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while betterments are capitalized. Upon sale or disposition of assets, any gain or loss is included in the consolidated statement of operations.
(l) Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of patents which are amortized over the period of estimated benefit using the straight-line method. No significant residual value is estimated for intangible assets.
(m) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment, including evaluating the useful lives for amortizing intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. If the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) from the use of an asset are less than the carrying value, a write-down would be recorded to reduce the related asset to its estimated fair value. There were no such write-downs for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
(n) Investments in Equity Securities Without Readily Determinable Fair Values
Investments in equity securities of nonpublic entities without readily determinable fair values are carried at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. The Company reviews its equity securities without readily determinable fair values on a regular basis to determine if the investment is impaired. For purposes of this assessment, the Company considers the investee’s cash position, earnings and revenue outlook, liquidity, and management ownership, among other factors, in its review. If management’s assessment indicates that an impairment exists, the Company estimates the fair value of the equity investment and recognizes in current earnings an impairment loss that is equal to the difference between the fair value of the equity investment and its carrying amount.
In February 2019, the Company invested in common shares of Dreev SaS, (“Dreev”). Dreev is a nonpublic entity, for which there is no readily determinable fair value. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s investment in Dreev was accounted for as an investment in equity securities without a readily determinable fair value. The Company did not recognize an impairment loss on its investment during the year ended December 31, 2024. On October 8, 2025, the Company sold its investment in Dreev. See Note 5 for details.
(o) Employee Savings Plan
The Company maintains a savings plan on behalf of its employees that qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Participating employees may contribute up to the statutory limits. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not contribute to the savings plan.
(p) Fair Value Measurement
The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and warrants. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company also considers counterparty risk and its own credit risk in its assessment of fair value.
The categorization of financial instruments within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs used to measure fair value are prioritized based on a three-level hierarchy. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are defined as follows:
• Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
F-14
NUVVE HOLDING CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
• Level 2 – Other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities or market corroborated inputs.
• Level 3 – Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available, which requires the Company to develop its own assumptions about how market participants would value the assets or liabilities.
(q) Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
The Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.
The computation of net loss attributable to common stockholders is computed by deducting net earnings or loss attributable to non-controlling interests, preferred dividends on redeemable non-controlling interest, and accretion on preferred shares on redeemable non-controlling interest from the consolidated net earnings or loss ( Note 14 ).
(r) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the way that depicts the transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those products or services. The Company enters into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are generally distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized net of allowances for credits and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
The Company recognizes revenue through the following steps:
• Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;
• Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
• Determination of the transaction price;
• Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
• Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
The Company’s revenue is primarily derived from sales of EV charging stations, stationary batteries, fees for cloud computing services related to providing access to the Company’s GIVe platform, and fees for extended warranty and maintenance services. The Company also has performed certain software development services and received government grants. GIVe platform access is considered a monthly series comprised of one performance obligation and fees are recognized as revenue in the period the services are provided to and consumed by the customer. The transaction price for each contract is allocated between the identified performance obligations based on relative estimated standalone selling prices.
The Company occasionally enters into contracts with customers in which EV charging stations are sold at a discount in exchange for a higher percentage of revenue share from the customer selling energy through the GIVe platform or from carbon credits. Due to the long-term nature of these payment terms, certain contracts are considered to have significant financing components as it relates to the equipment. The Company estimates the effect of any significant financing component and records the revenue associated with the EV charging stations at the estimated present value of the expected stream of payments. As payments are received, the difference between the total payment and the amortized value of the receivable is recorded to interest income in Other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations using the effective yield method.
Products –
1) The Company sells EV charging stations either on a standalone basis or together with services such as access to the GIVe platform, extended warranty and maintenance services. When the sale of charging station is a distinct performance obligation, revenue is recognized upon delivery. For other customer contracts, the charging stations are sold as part of a solution and are not distinct from the services, and revenue from the charging station is recognized upon completion of installation and commissioning of the equipment.
2) The Company sells and deploys stationary batteries either on a standalone basis or together with services such as access to the GIVe platform, extended warranty, energy management and maintenance services. When the sale of stationary battery is a distinct performance obligation, revenue is recognized upon delivery. For other customer contracts, the stationary batteries are
F-15
NUVVE HOLDING CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
sold as part of a solution, and revenue from the stationary battery is recognized upon completion of installation and commissioning of the stationary batteries deployment.
Services – Specific contracts contain licenses to the software that provides the V2G functionality for one - to twelve-year contract periods through access to the Company’s software as a service GIVe platform application. The Company determined that the nature of the GIVe application performance obligation is providing continuous access to its GIVe application for the contract period. Although the activities that the customer may be able to perform via the GIVe application may vary from day to day, the overall promise is to provide continuous access to the GIVe application to the customer for a period of one - to twelve years . Thus, access to the GIVe application represents a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer, and the Company has determined that for GIVe SaaS revenue, the best indicator for the transfer of control is the passage of time. The payment terms for some of the Company’s service contracts include revenue sharing arrangements whereby the Company is entitled to the right to receive a portion of the revenue generated by the customer selling energy through the GIVe platform, providing energy management services, or from carbon credits received as a result of the customer using the GIVe platform. Revenue is recognized as it is received.
The Company has entered into various agreements for research and development and software development services. The terms of these arrangements typically include terms whereby the Company receives milestone payments in accordance with the scope of services outlined in the respective agreement or is reimbursed for allowable costs. At the inception of each arrangement that includes milestone payments, the Company evaluates whether a significant reversal of cumulative revenue associated with achieving the milestones is probable and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. If it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue would not occur, the associated milestone value is included in the transaction price. The Company applies judgment in evaluating factors such as the scientific, regulatory, commercial, and other risks that must be overcome to achieve a particular milestone in making this assessment. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, the Company reevaluates the probability of achievement of all milestones subject to constraint and, if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect revenues and earnings in the period of adjustment. Revenue arising from reimbursed allowable costs are recognized as the costs are submitted and approved by the applicable agency.
The Company occasionally sells extended warranty contracts on the charging stations, which includes maintenance of the equipment for a period (e.g., three years , five years , 10 years, 12 years). The warranty provides the customer with assurance that the product will function as intended for the period of the contract and maintenance services related to the equipment. Since the warranty provides a customer with a service in addition to the assurance that the product complies with agreed-upon specifications, the promised service is a performance obligation. Access to the warranty services represent a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer, and the Company recognizes warranty revenue ratably with the passage of time.
The Company occasionally enters into agreements with third parties that include payment of management fees for services such as project design, planning, and management. Revenue on such agreements are recognized based on pre-agreed fees schedule on the performance obligations.
Revenue for certain service contracts, such as third party installation, is recognized on gross basis over time using an input method where progress on the performance obligation is measured based on the proportional actual costs incurred to date relative to the total costs expected to be required to satisfy the performance obligation.
Bill-and-hold arrangements - The Company occasionally enters into bill and hold arrangements in which some customers request that billed products that are ready for delivery be held at the Company's warehouse facility for them until shipment at a later date. In this instance, revenue is recognized when; 1) the risks of ownership, including title, have passed to the customer, 2) the product must be identified separately as belonging to the customer, 3) the product currently must be ready for physical transfer to the customer, and 4) the Company does not have the ability to use the product or to direct it to another customer.
Grant revenue – The Company has concluded that grants are not within the scope of ASC 606, as government entities do not meet the definition of a “customer” as defined by ASC 606, and as for the grants, there is not considered to be a transfer of control of goods or services to the government entity funding the grant. Additionally, the Company has concluded these government grants meet the definition of a contribution and are non-reciprocal transactions.
Revenues from each grant are based upon internal costs incurred that are specifically covered by the grant. Revenue is recognized as the Company incurs expenses that are related to the grant. The Company believes this policy is consistent with the overarching premise in ASC 606, to ensure that it recognizes revenues to reflect the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, even though there is no “exchange” as defined in the ASC. The Company believes the recognition of revenue as costs
F-16

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
are incurred and amounts become earned/realizable is analogous to the concept of transfer of control of a service over time under ASC 606.
The Company considers contract modifications to exist when the modification either creates new or makes changes to the existing enforceable rights and obligations. Contract modifications for services that are not distinct from the existing contract are accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract. In these cases, the effect of the contract modification on the transaction price and the measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates are recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis. Contract modifications for goods or services that are considered distinct from the existing contract are accounted for as separate contracts.
The Company’s contract liabilities consist solely of deferred revenue related to amounts billed or received in advance of services or products delivered.
(s) Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue consists primarily of costs of material, including hardware and software costs, and costs of providing services, including employee compensation and other costs associated with supporting these functions. Cost of revenue does not include depreciation and amortization costs.
(t) Contract Costs
Under ASC Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers (“ASC 340-40”), the Company defers all incremental costs, including commissions, and costs incurred to obtain or to perform contracts, and amortizes these costs over the expected period of benefit which is generally the life of the contract. The Company evaluated incremental contract costs for contracts in place as of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024 and determined that these costs are recoverable.
(u) Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, (“ASC 740”), under which it recognizes deferred income taxes, net of valuation allowances, for net operating losses, tax credit carryforwards, and the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company evaluates its deferred tax assets quarterly to determine if a valuation allowance is required and considers whether a valuation allowance should be recorded against deferred tax assets based on the likelihood that the benefits of the deferred tax assets will or will not ultimately be realized in future periods. In making this assessment, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified, such as recent operating results, and less consideration is given to less objective indicators, such as future income projections. After consideration of positive and negative evidence, if the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that it will generate future income sufficient to realize its deferred tax assets, the Company will record a reduction in the valuation allowance.
The Company applies certain provisions of ASC 740, which includes a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit or obligation as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments.
(v) Research and Development
The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. External software development expense is included in research and development costs except for those costs which require capitalization in accordance with GAAP. Certain research and development costs are related to performance on grant contracts.
F-17

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(w) Share-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for all share-based compensations costs granted to employees and non-employees under the method prescribed by ASC 718-10, Stock Compensation ( Note 12 ). Stock-based compensation cost is measured based on the estimated grant date fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
(x) Leases
The Company makes a determination if an arrangement constitutes a lease at inception, and categorizes the lease as either an operating or finance lease. Operating leases are included in right-of-use operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property, plant and equipment, net and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets.
The Company has entered into leases for building facilities and vehicles. The Company’s leases have contractual terms of up to 10 years, some of which have options to extend the lease. For purposes of calculating operating lease liabilities, lease terms are deemed not to include options to extend the lease renewals until it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
Right-of-use lease assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the implicit rate on most of the Company's leases are not reasonable determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the company will exercise that option. Lease expense is primarily recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are combined for certain assets classes.
(y) Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures . ASU 2023-09 requires disclosure of disaggregated income taxes paid in both U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, prescribes standard categories for the components of the effective tax rate reconciliation and modifies other income tax-related disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company’s annual year ending December 31, 2025. The Company adopted the guidance effective for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 on a prospective basis. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. See Note 13 for disclosure.
(z) Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Narrow Scope Improvements . ASU 2025-11 clarifies the interim reporting requirements by improving navigability of Topic 270 and more clearly specifying what disclosures are required in an interim reporting period. The new guidance (i) specifies the form and content choices for interim financial statements and accompanying notes; (ii) adds a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures from numerous Codification Topics to Topic 270; and (iii) introduces a disclosure principle that requires disclosure of events since the end of the previous annual reporting period that materially affect the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial statement disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities. ASU 2025-10 establishes guidance on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants received by business entities. The new guidance leverages the principles in the accounting framework for government assistance in IFRS, specifically IAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance; makes certain targeted improvements; and modifies certain of the existing disclosure requirements in ASC 832, Government Assistance. ASU 2025-10 is effective for public business entities in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2028 (including interim periods within) and one year later for all other entities. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance can be applied on a modified prospective

basis, a modified retrospective basis, or a full retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial statement disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. ASU 2025-06 clarifies the threshold for capitalizing internal-use software costs to be based on when (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. ASU 2025-06 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2028. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments in this update may be applied on a prospective, retrospective or modified basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses . ASU 2024-03 requires a public business entity ("PBE") to disclose, on an annual and interim basis, additional information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to financial statements. Specifically, in a tabular disclosure, the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory; (b) employee compensation; (c) depreciation; (d) intangible asset amortization; and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities (or other amounts of depletion expense) included in each relevant expense caption. Within the same tabular disclosure, a PBE is required to include certain expense, gain, or loss amounts that are already required to be disclosed under U.S. GAAP. Additionally, a PBE is required to disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. The guidance also requires a PBE to disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity's definition of selling expenses. Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB further issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial statement disclosures.

The Company may redeem the Public Warrants at a price of $ 160.00 per warrant upon 30 days’ notice, only in the event that the last sale price of the ordinary shares is at least $ 264,000.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 -trading day period ending on the third day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given, provided there is an effective registration statement and current prospectus in effect with respect to the ordinary shares

underlying such Warrants during the 30 day redemption period. If the Company decides to redeem the warrants as described above, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.”
The terms of the Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants as described above, except that the Private Warrants are not redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, on November 11, 2020, Newborn entered into subscription agreements with certain accredited investors pursuant to which the investors agreed to purchase 891 of Newborn’s common stock, at a purchase price of $ 16,000.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $ 14,250,000 (the PIPE). Upon closing of the PIPE immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination, the PIPE investors also received 1.9 PIPE Warrants to purchase the Company’s Common Stock for each share of Common Stock purchased. The PIPE Warrants are each exercisable for one-half of a common share at $ 184,000.00 per share and have the same terms as described above for the Public Warrants. The PIPE investors received demand and piggyback registration rights in connection with the securities issued to them.
Because the Private Warrants have dissimilar terms with respect to the Company’s redemption rights depending on the holder of the Private Warrants, the Company determined that the Private Warrants are required to be carried as a liability in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. The Private Warrant is reflected as a liability in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the change in the fair value of the Private Warrant for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 4 for details of changes in fair value of the Private Warrants recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.
In conjunction with the issuance of Convertible Notes (see Note 10 ), the Company issued to the certain investors private warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company. These warrants are reflected as a liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, and the change in the fair value of the private warrants for the year ended December 31, 2025 in the consolidated statements of operations.

Note 12 – Share-Based Compensation
In 2010, the Company adopted the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”), which provides for the grant of restricted stock awards, stock options, and other share-based awards to employees, consultants, and directors. In November 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors extended the term of the 2010 Plan to July 1, 2021. In 2021, the Company adopted the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), which provides for the grant of restricted stock awards, incentive and non-statutory stock options, and other share-based awards to employees, consultants, and directors. In August 2025, the 2020 Plan was amended, as approved by the stockholders, to increase the common shares reserved for issuance under the plan by 373,615 shares. As of December 31, 2025, there is an aggregate of 375,000 common shares reserved for issuance under the 2020 Plan and may reset on January 1 of each year, based on a formula set forth in the Equity Incentive Plan. All options granted to date have a ten year contractual life and vesting terms of four years . In general, vested options expire if not exercised 90 days after termination of service. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur. As of December 31, 2025, a total of 134,241 shares of common stock remained available for future issuance under the 2020 Plan.
Share-based compensation expense recognized in selling, general, and administrative, and research and development are as follows:

Restricted stock 1,122,324 249,395
Stock options - modified options — 169
Total $ 2,432,132 $ 2,620,127
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options. Fair value is estimated at the date of grant for employee and nonemployee options. The following assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock options granted for the year ended December 31, 2025 the 2020 Plan.
2020 Plan
Expected life of options (in years) (1) 5.06
Dividend yield (2) 0 %
Risk-free interest rate (3) 3.72 %
Volatility (4) 56.01 %
_________________
(1) The expected life of options is the average of the contractual term of the options and the vesting period.
(2) No cash dividends have been declared on the Company’s common stock since the Company’s inception, and the Company currently does not anticipate declaring or paying cash dividends over the expected life of the options.
(3) The risk-free interest rate is based on the yields on U.S. Treasury debt securities with maturities approximating the estimated life of the options.
(4) Volatility is estimated by management. As the Company has been a private company for most of its existence, there is not enough historical volatility data related to the Company’s Common stock as a public entity. Therefore, this estimate is based on the average volatility of certain public company peers within the Company’s industry.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $ 116,648,000 and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $ 62,110,000 . Of the federal net operating loss carryforwards, $ 3,070,000 will begin to expire in 2034, and the remainder do not expire. The state net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2034. Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383, use of the Company’s net operating loss and credit carryforwards may be limited if a cumulative change in ownership of more than 50% occurs within any three-year period since the last ownership change. The Company believes that there has not been a change in control under these Sections. However, the Company does not anticipate performing a complete analysis of the limitation on the annual use of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards until the time that it projects that it will be able to utilize these tax attributes.
A valuation allowance of $ 37,301,346 as of December 31, 2025, has been established against the Company’s deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not such assets will not be realized. The valuation allowance increased by $ 5,615,559 during the year ended December 31, 2025. In assessing if the deferred tax assets will be realized, the Company considers wheth er it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In determining whether the deferred taxes are realizable, the Company considers the period of expiration of the tax asset, historical and projected taxable income, and tax liabilities for the tax jurisdiction in which the tax asset is located. Valuation allowances are provided to reduce the amounts of deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized based on an assessment of positive and negative evidence, including estimates of future taxable income necessary to realize future deductible amounts.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework, and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The OBBBA did not have a significant impact the Company's consolidated financial statements.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits related to various federal and state income tax matters. The Company will recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company does not anticipate material unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
The Company is subject to U.S. federal and state income tax as well as income tax in various foreign countries. Due to net operating loss carryforwards from earlier years, the Company’s U.S. income tax returns are open to audit for the years ended December 31, 2014 through 2025.

Note 17 – Commitments and Contingencies
(a) Legal Matters

Please see Note 17(e) and (f) below for details regarding legal proceedings pending with Company suppliers.

(c) In-Licensing
The Company is a party to a licensing agreement for non-exclusive rights to intellectual property which will expire at the later of the date at which the last patent underlying the intellectual property expires or 20 years from the sale of the first licensed product. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will pay up to an aggregate of $ 700,000 in royalties upon achievement of certain milestones. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, no royalty expenses had been incurred under this agreement .
The licensing agreement was replaced in November 2017, the Company executed an agreement ("IP Acquisition Agreement") with the University of Delaware (Seller) whereby all right, title, and interest in the licensed intellectual property was assigned to the Company in exchange for an upfront fee of $ 500,000 and the Company's common shares valued at $ 1,491,556 . The total acquisition cost of $ 1,991,556 was capitalized and is being amortized over the fifteen years expected life of the patents underlying the intellectual property. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will pay up to an aggregate $ 7,500,000 in royalties to the Seller upon achievement of milestones, related to the aggregate number of vehicles that have had access to the Company’s GIVe platform system for a period of at least 6 consecutive months, and for which the Company has received monetary consideration for such access pursuant to a subscription or other similar agreement with the vehicle’s owner as follows:

(e) Purchase Commitments
On July 20, 2021, Nuvve issued a purchase order (“PO”) to its supplier, Rhombus Energy Solutions, Inc. (“Rhombus”), for a quantity of DC Chargers and dispensers for EVs (“DC Chargers”), for a total price of $ 13.2 million. A dispute (the "Dispute")
arose as to the PO, and an arbitration proceeding was initiated.
On February 2, 2024 (the “Settlement Date”), the Company and Rhombus entered into a settlement and release agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to pay Rhombus approximately $ 0.46 million for certain initial DC Chargers within 15 days from the Settlement Date. The Company further agreed to pay Rhombus an aggregate of $ 2.40 million for certain DC Chargers upon shipment with payments correlating to the amounts shipped due prior to shipment, a minimum of 50 % of which shall be paid within 12 months after the Settlement date, with the remaining balance, if any, to be paid within 24 months after the Settlement Date. The Settlement Agreement further provides for the dismissal of the legal action as to the Company and Rhombus. The Company and Rhombus agreed to release one another from any and all claims relating to the Dispute.
On February 21, 2025, the Company initiated a legal action against Rhombus related to its refusal to honor certain warranty and commissioning obligations with respect to DC Chargers the Company purchased from Rhombus. Rhombus has in turn filed a demand for an arbitration claiming that the Company breached terms of the previous settlement agreement between the Company and Rhombus by failing to purchase additional DC Chargers. The Company believes it has no obligation to purchase additional non-conforming DC Chargers. Therefore, the Company believes that Rhombus’s position does not have any merit, and it intends to exercise all available rights and remedies in its legal action against Rhombus. The outcome of any such proceedings are inherently uncertain, and the amount and/or timing of any gains or expenses resulting from such proceedings is not reasonably estimable at this time.
(f) Fleet Electrification Program
On February 11, 2026, the Company determined that the master services agreement, dated May 14, 2024 (the “Fresno Agreement”), by and between the Company and Fresno Economic Opportunities Commission (the “FEOC”) had been effectively terminated and provided notice to the FEOC of costs and amounts owed to the Company in connection with the termination. As previously disclosed, the Fresno Agreement outlined the general scope of work, timeline, and pricing pursuant to which the Company was to provide services and materials to the FEOC in connection with the FEOC’s fleet electrification program. The total possible estimated fees and expenses payable to the Company by FEOC for services and materials provided in relation to the project under the Fresno Agreement was approximately $ 15.7 million. The termination followed extensive discussions between the Company and the FEOC regarding the Fresno Agreement and the FEOC’s willingness to continue pursuing its fleet electrification project. Despite the Company’s substantial efforts to accommodate the FEOC’s requests and procuring multiple alternative options to fulfill certain funding obligations under the Fresno Agreement, the FEOC was unwilling to move forward with the project. The Company disputes whether the FEOC properly terminated the Fresno Agreement pursuant to its terms and has reserved its rights with respect thereto. However, as a practical matter, the Company no longer reasonably believes that the business relationship contemplated by the Fresno Agreement will continue. The Company is currently in negotiations with the FEOC to determine the amount of costs and fees owed to the Company for services provided prior to the date of termination, as it is entitled to under the Fresno Agreement. There can be no assurance as to the amount the Company will ultimately receive from the FEOC for services provided under the Fresno Agreement prior to the date of termination.

Note 18 - Non-Controlling Interest
For entities that are consolidated, but not 100% owned, a portion of the net income or loss and corresponding equity is allocated to owners other than the Company. The aggregate of the net income or loss and corresponding equity that is not owned by the Company is included in non-controlling interests in the consolidated financial statements.
Non-controlling interests are presented outside as a separate component of stockholders’ equity on the Company’s consolidated Balance Sheets. The primary components of non-controlling interests are separately presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity to clearly distinguish the interest in the Company and other ownership interests in the consolidated entities. Net income or loss includes the net income or loss attributable to the holders of non-controlling interests on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Net income or loss is allocated to non-controlling interests in proportion to their relative ownership interests.
As of December 31, 2025, Fermata Energy II LLC, Nuvve New Mexico LLC and Deep Impact are included as the non-controlling interest entities.
Levo
The Company had determined that the redemption features embedded in the non-controlling redeemable preferred stock of Levo is required to be accounted for separately from the redeemable preferred stock as a derivative liability. Separation of the redemption features as a derivative liability is required because its economic characteristics and risks of the redemption features are considered more akin to a debt instrument, and therefore, not considered to be clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the redeemable preferred stock host instrument. The economic characteristics of the redemption features are considered more akin to debt instrument because the minimum redemption value could be greater than the face amount of the preferred stock, the redemption features are contingently exercisable, and the preferred stock carry a fixed mandatory dividend.
In connection with, and pursuant to Stonepeak and Evolve's sale of their combined interest in Levo to the Company ( See Note 1 ), the Company became the 100 % owner of Levo. As result, the redeemable preferred stock, including the accumulated unpaid accrued preferred dividends, were cancelled. On December 13, 2024, the Company dissolved Levo as an entity. Levo was a consolidated entity of the Company. See the tables below.

The Company disputes whether the FEOC properly terminated the Fresno Agreement pursuant to its terms and has reserved its rights with respect thereto. However, as a practical matter, the Company no longer reasonably believes that the business relationship contemplated by the Fresno Agreement will continue. The Company is currently in negotiations with the FEOC to determine the amount of costs and fees owed to the Company for services provided prior to the date of termination, as it is entitled to under the Fresno Agreement. There can be no assurance as to the amount the Company will ultimately receive from the FEOC for services provided under the Fresno Agreement prior to the date of termination. Accounts receivable balance related to FEOC has been fully reserved. See Notes 6.
