• Private Offering Without Registration: The warrant and related securities were issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, relying on exemptions for private placements to accredited investors.
• Execution of Key Agreements: Alongside the warrant, the company executed a Pre-Funded Warrant Securities Purchase Agreement and a Registration Rights Agreement, both dated March 10, 2026.

Details of the Pre-Funded Warrant and Transaction

The Pre-Funded Warrant allows the holder to purchase ordinary shares of Sono Group N.V. The warrant was sold and issued without SEC registration, in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D. This means the offering was made only to accredited investors and is not available to the general public.

Any ordinary shares issued upon exercise of the warrant will also be unregistered, but the company has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, obligating it to register these shares for resale at a later date.

The company has committed to timely file a Form D and to take necessary actions to qualify or exempt the securities for sale under state securities (blue sky) laws.

Use of Proceeds and Financial Condition

• Use of Proceeds: The net proceeds from this financing will be used strictly for working capital purposes. The company is prohibited from using these funds for redemption of ordinary shares, satisfaction of existing debt (except in the ordinary course of business), settlement of litigation, or in violation of anti-corruption or sanctions regulations.
• Capitalization and Dilution: The company has reserved sufficient ordinary shares to cover the potential exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrant, and shareholders should be aware that exercise of the warrant could result in dilution.
• No Redemption or Prepayment: Proceeds cannot be used for redemption or repurchase of company shares.

Important Shareholder Considerations and Potential Price-Sensitive Issues

• Dilution Risk: The issuance and potential exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrant will increase the number of outstanding ordinary shares, which may dilute existing shareholders’ ownership and could impact share value.
• Private Placement to Accredited Investors: The securities are not registered and are initially restricted, but registration rights have been granted. This could lead to increased trading in the future upon registration, potentially impacting share price.
• Exemptions Claimed: The company’s reliance on private placement exemptions means less public disclosure about the investors and terms than with a public offering.
• Nasdaq Listing Maintained: The company’s ordinary shares remain listed and in good standing on the Nasdaq, which is positive for liquidity and investor confidence.
• Regulatory Compliance: The company affirms compliance with all SEC and Exchange Act requirements, and confirms no material adverse changes since its last filing.
• Financial Reporting: Sono Group N.V. continues to meet its SEC reporting obligations and has committed to keep all filings current.
• No General Solicitation: The offering was made without public advertising, further confirming its private nature.
• Control and Anti-Takeover Protections: The company affirms that this transaction will not trigger any anti-takeover provisions or rights plans.

Management Statement and Signatory

The filing was signed by Kevin McGurn, CEO and Managing Director of Sono Group N.V., on March 10, 2026, confirming the company’s responsibility for the contents and the execution of the agreements.

Exhibits Filed

Conclusion

Investor Impact: This transaction provides Sono Group N.V. with additional working capital, demonstrating continued access to private financing. However, the potential for future dilution and eventual resale of shares by private investors upon registration could create share price pressure. Investors should closely monitor forthcoming SEC filings and any registration statements relating to these securities. The maintenance of Nasdaq listing and ongoing compliance are positives for current shareholders, but the ramifications of dilution and market dynamics upon registration may be significant.
