ASSET
PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This
Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) is hereby entered into on July 31, 2026 (the “Effective
Date”), by and between Clean Liquidation, LLC, a California limited liability company, in its capacity as the Assignee
for the Benefit of Creditors of Clean Republic SODO, LLC (the “Assignee” or “Seller”),
Dragonfly Energy Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Buyer”) and Dragonfly Energy Holdings, Corp., a Nevada
corporation (“Parent”).
RECITALS
A.
Clean Republic SODO, LLC, a Washington Limited Liability Company (the “Assignor”) entered into a General Assignment
with Seller effective as of July 31, 2026 pursuant to which (subject to that set forth in the General Assignment) Assignor granted, assigned
and transferred to Assignee, in trust, for the benefit of Assignor’s creditors, all of Assignor’s assignable property and
assets of every kind and nature, whether real or personal property assets, wherever situated or located, and that are not exempt from
the enforcement of a money judgment, including, without limitation, all inventory, accounts receivable, goods, furniture, fixtures, machinery,
equipment, raw materials, work in process, general intangibles, real estate, intellectual property, interests in other legal entities,
deposits, books, records, cash, bank accounts, tax refunds, all choses in action, insurance policies and refunds and all other property
of every kind and nature, whether owned by Assignor or in which Assignor has an interest (the “Assignment Estate”).
B.
Buyer has identified a subset of assets of the Assignment Estate that Buyer desires to purchase from Seller (the “Purchased
Assets”). The Purchased Assets are defined in Section 1.2 below. After consummation of the Closing contemplated under this
Agreement, Seller intends to sell or otherwise liquidate any and all remaining non-cash assets of the Assignment Estate that are not
Purchased Assets and will undertake the winding down of the Assignment Estate, which shall ultimately include, but shall not be limited
to, the distribution to Assignor’s creditors of the Assignment Estate’s net funds remaining after payment of all fees and
costs associated with the liquidation of the Assignment Estate.
C.
Seller desires to sell to Buyer, and Buyer desires to purchase from Seller, the Purchased Assets, on the terms and conditions set forth
in this Agreement.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, Buyer and Seller hereby agree as follows:
1.
PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE PURCHASED ASSETS.
1.1
Agreement to Sell and Purchase the Purchased Assets. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in reliance
on the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement, Seller hereby agrees to sell, assign, transfer and convey
to Buyer at the Closing (as defined in Section 2.2 below), and Buyer hereby agrees to purchase and acquire from Seller at the Closing,
all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all of the Purchased Assets. The Purchased Assets will be sold, assigned, transferred
and conveyed to Buyer (subject to Section 1.3) on the Closing Date on a “AS IS” and “WHERE IS” basis, with no
representations or warranties other than those specifically set forth below, and subject to any and all existing pledges, liens, licenses,
rights of possession, security interests, restrictions, encumbrances, charges, title retention, conditional sale or other security arrangements
of any nature whatsoever (collectively, “Encumbrances”), unless the holders of any such Encumbrances specifically
provides its written consent to having the Purchased Assets sold, assigned, transferred and conveyed to Buyer free and clear of any such
Encumbrances.
1.2
Purchased Assets Defined. The term “Purchased Assets” used herein means, collectively, Seller’s
right, title and interest in and to only those assets listed in Exhibit 1.2 attached hereto.
1.3
Excluded Assets Defined. The term “Excluded Assets” used herein means, collectively, all assets
of the Assignment Estate that are not specifically included in Exhibit 1.2 attached hereto, which includes, but are not limited
to, any of Seller’s or Assignor’s (i) cash, (ii) accounts receivable, (iii) claims for preference or fraudulent conveyance
recoveries under applicable law or any other litigation recoveries, (iv) state or federal tax refunds, (v) insurance refunds or recoveries,
(vi) utility or leasehold security deposits, (vii) corporate governance and human resource documents and business books and records,
(viii) any and all properties, rights, contracts, leases, licenses, claims or other assets other than those specifically listed in Exhibit
1.2 attached hereto. Excluded Assets specifically includes all contracts, licenses and leases of Assignor or Assignee unless any
such assignment agreement is signed by Assignor and/or Assignee and Buyer and such assignment is allowable under the contract, license
or leases or any required consent has been obtained.
1.4
Passage of Title to Purchased Assets to Buyer and Delivery of Purchased Assets.
(a)
Title Passage. Except as otherwise provided herein, upon the Closing, (i) title to all of the Purchased Assets shall pass to Buyer;
and (ii) upon Buyer’s written request, Seller shall execute assignments, conveyances and/or bills of sale, or other reasonably
requested instruments of conveyance, reasonably necessary to convey to Buyer title to the Purchased Assets, subject to the Encumbrances.
(b)
Delivery of Purchased Assets. Except as otherwise provided herein, on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 2.2), Seller shall
make available to Buyer possession of the Purchased Assets to the extent reasonably possible, provided, however, that the expenses of
retrieving, removing and transferring the Purchased Assets from their location at the Closing shall be borne exclusively by Buyer, and
provided further that in the event that any of the Purchased Assets are located outside of the physical control of Seller, such as in
warehouses or foreign locations controlled by third parties, Seller is not making any representation or warranty to Buyer as to the quantities
of Purchased Assets under the control of such third parties or the accessibility of such Purchased Assets. Buyer has agreed to take title
to those Purchased Assets with full knowledge of those risks.
(c)
Retention of Documents. Assignee is responsible for maintaining business records during the General Assignment. To the extent
Buyer requires business records of Assignor that Assignee has retained to administer the Assignment Estate, Buyer shall, at its own expense,
arrange to obtain copies of such records from Assignee.
2.
PURCHASE PRICE; PAYMENTS.
2.1
Buyer’s Purchase Price and Method of Payment. In consideration of Seller’s sale, transfer, conveyance and assignment
of the Purchased Assets to Buyer at the Closing, Buyer and Parent shall, as of the Closing, pay to Seller the sum of $4,000,000 (Four
Million Dollars) (the “Purchase Price”) to be paid (i) $1,000,000 in cash by wire transfer (unless agreed otherwise
in writing), and (ii) the issuance of 1,500,000 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share
(the “Common Stock”), of Parent; provided, that the Shares shall be issued to Seller and to the other party(s)
pursuant to the terms of the Securities Receipt Agreement dated the date hereof (the “Securities Receipt Agreement”)
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2 hereto. The Purchase Price shall be allocated to the Seller and the other party(s) to the Securities
Receipt Agreement as directed by the Seller.
2.2
Closing. The consummation of Seller’s sale of the Purchased Assets to Buyer will take place at a closing to be held
virtually, at the offices of Seller, or at such other mutually agreeable location (the “Closing”), with such
Closing to occur on July 31, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), or at such other time or date, or at such other location,
agreed to in writing by both Buyer and Seller. If the Closing does not occur on or prior to July 31, 2026, or such later date agreed
to in writing between Buyer and Seller, this Agreement shall terminate upon written notice of termination given by either party hereto
that is not in default of its obligations hereunder to the other, and, upon any such written notice of termination having been provided,
this Agreement shall become null and void and neither party hereto will have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except that
Section 6.1 shall survive such termination.
2.3
Allocation of Purchase Price. Exhibit 2.3 hereto contains an allocation of the Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets,
which may be determined by Buyer and Seller following the Closing at their joint discretion.
3.
OBLIGATIONS ASSUMED.
3.1
Liabilities. Buyer agrees, upon consummation of, and effective as of, the Closing, to assume only those liabilities and obligations
of Seller and of Assignor identified in Schedule 3.1 hereto (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”).
3.2
Liabilities and Obligations Not Assumed. Except as expressly set forth in Schedule 3.1 hereto, Buyer shall not assume
or become obligated in any way to pay or perform any liabilities, debts or obligations of Seller or of Assignor, including, any liabilities
or obligations arising from Assignor’s or Assignee’s business activities that took place prior to the Closing or any liabilities
arising out of or connected to Seller’s sale or liquidation of assets that are not Purchased Assets or from winding down any remaining
business of the Assignment Estate. All liabilities, debts and obligations of Seller and of Assignor not expressly assumed by Buyer hereunder
are hereinafter referred to as the “Excluded Liabilities.”
3.3
No Obligations to Third Parties. The execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not be deemed to confer any rights upon
any person or entity other than the parties to this Agreement, or make any person or entity a third party beneficiary of this Agreement,
or to obligate either party to any person or entity other than the parties to this Agreement. The assumption by Buyer of any Assumed
Liabilities shall in no way expand the rights or remedies of any third parties against Buyer as compared to the rights and remedies any
such third parties would have against Seller if the Closing had not consummated.
4.

assign, and transfer all of the Assignee’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets to Buyer, recognizing that

that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not
limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Shares, and on requirements relating to Buyer or Parent which are
outside of Seller’s control, and which Buyer is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy. Seller represents that it is
familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act. Each
certificate instrument, or book entry representing the Shares subject to this Agreement if issued on or after the date of this Agreement
shall be notated by Parent with the legend set forth in Section 5.13.
5.8
Accredited Investor. Seller is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities
Act.
5.9
Own Account. Seller is acquiring the Shares as principal for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or
reselling such Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention
of distributing any of such Shares in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect
arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Shares in violation of the Securities
Act or any applicable state securities law (this representation and warranty not limiting Seller’s right to sell the Shares in
compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws).
5.10
Experience of Seller. Seller, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience
in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective acquisition of the Shares,
and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such acquisition.
5.11

organizational or charter documents, or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or
both would become a default) under, result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any subsidiary,

Organization; Authority. Such Recipient is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited
liability company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents
and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and performance
by such Recipient of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate,
partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Recipient. Each Transaction Document to
which it is a party has been duly executed by such Recipient, and when delivered by such Recipient in accordance with the terms hereof,
will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Recipient, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except:
(i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general
application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific
performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited
by applicable law.
(b)
Understandings or Arrangements. Such Recipient is acquiring its respective Shares as principal for its own account and not with
a view to or for distributing or reselling such Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state
securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Shares in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state
securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution
of such Shares in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law (this representation and warranty not limiting
the Recipient’s right to sell the Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws).
(c)
Recipient Status. Such Recipient is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities
Act.
(d)
Experience of the Recipient. Such Recipient, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication
and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective acquisition
of the Shares, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such acquisition.
(e)
General Solicitation. Such Recipient is not, to such Recipient’s knowledge, purchasing the Shares as a result of any advertisement,
article, notice or other communication regarding the Shares published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television
or radio or presented at any seminar or, to the knowledge of such Recipient, any other general solicitation, or advertisement.
(f)
Access to Information. Such Recipient acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including
all exhibits and schedules thereto) and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and
to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the merits
and risks of investing in the Shares; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations,
business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain
such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make
an informed investment decision with respect to the investment.
(g)
Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Recipient has
not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Recipient, directly or indirectly executed any
purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Recipient
first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material
terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the case of a Recipient that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of
such Recipient’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers
managing other portions of such Recipient’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion
of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to acquire the Shares covered by this Agreement. Other than
to other Persons party to this Agreement or to such Recipient’s representatives, including, without limitation, its officers, directors,
partners, legal and other advisors, employees, agents and Affiliates, such Recipient has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures
made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect
to locating or borrowing shares in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.
(h)
Restricted Securities. Such Recipient understands that the Shares are “restricted securities” and have not been registered
under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law. Such Recipient acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register
or qualify the Shares for resale. Such Recipient further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available,
it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the
Shares, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of such Recipient’s control, and which the Company is under
no obligation and may not be able to satisfy. Such Recipient represents that it is familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, and
understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.
(i)
Bad Actor Matters. Such Recipient hereby represents that no Disqualification Event is applicable to such Recipient or any of its
Rule 506(d) Related Parties, except, if applicable, for a Disqualification Event as to which Rule 506(d)(2)(ii) or (iii) or (d)(3) is
applicable. Such Recipient hereby agrees that it shall notify the Company promptly in writing in the event a Disqualification Event becomes
applicable to such Recipient or any of its Rule 506(d) Related Parties, except, if applicable, for a Disqualification Event as to which
Rule 506(d)(2)(ii) or (iii) or (d)(3) is applicable. For purposes of this Section 3.2(i), (i) “Rule 506(d) Related Party”
shall mean a person or entity that is a beneficial owner of such Recipient’s securities for purposes of Rule 506(d) of the Securities
Act; and (ii) “Disqualification Event” means a “bad actor” disqualifying event described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i)-(viii)
promulgated under the Securities Act.

Dragonfly
Energy Announces Strategic Acquisition of Dakota Lithium Assets, Expanding Into New Markets
Capital-efficient
acquisition adds an established revenue base with expected Adjusted EBITDA accretion beginning in Q4 2026
● Acquisition
expands Dragonfly Energy’s reach across marine, outdoor recreation, powersports, golf
cart and other specialty battery markets
● Dakota
Lithium generated approximately $12 million in net revenue in 2025 despite working-capital
and inventory constraints that significantly limited product availability
● Expected
to begin contributing meaningful revenue and be accretive to Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth
quarter of 2026
● $4
million purchase price includes $1 million in cash, with the remaining consideration paid
in Dragonfly Energy common stock valued at $2.00 per share, a premium to recent trading levels
● Concurrent
lender amendments provide additional financial flexibility
RENO,
Nev., July 31, 2026 — Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp. (Nasdaq: DFLI) (“Dragonfly Energy” or the “Company”),
an industry leader in lithium battery technology, today announced that it has completed the acquisition of substantially all of the operating
assets associated with the Dakota Lithium® brand. The acquisition expands Dragonfly Energy’s reach across marine, outdoor recreation,
powersports, golf cart and other specialty battery markets and is expected to begin contributing meaningful revenue and be accretive
to Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Dakota
Lithium is a recognized lithium iron phosphate battery brand with an established presence across specialty battery markets. The acquired
assets include the Dakota Lithium brand and related intellectual property, product inventory, a complementary battery portfolio, and
established customer and distributor relationships.
Based
on historical financial information provided to Dragonfly Energy, Dakota Lithium generated approximately $12 million in net revenue in
2025, significantly below levels achieved in prior years amid working-capital limitations and inventory constraints that materially reduced
product availability.
Dragonfly
Energy plans to support the Dakota Lithium brand through its existing commercial, operational, fulfillment and customer-support infrastructure.
The Company believes this approach can help restore product availability, support existing customers and create a complementary revenue
stream without requiring a proportional increase in fixed overhead.
Dragonfly
Energy intends to operate Dakota Lithium as a distinct brand alongside Battle Born Batteries®. The multi-brand strategy is expected
to broaden the Company’s overall product offering, reach additional customer segments and price points, and expand its participation
across complementary battery markets while preserving the established positioning of each brand.
The
total purchase price was $4.0 million, consisting of $1.0 million in cash and $3.0 million in Dragonfly Energy common stock. The equity
consideration was valued at $2.00 per share, or 1,500,000 shares of common stock, representing a premium to recent trading levels, and
is subject to a 12-month contractual lock-up. The transaction structure limits upfront cash requirements and preserves liquidity as the
acquired operations are integrated.
In
connection with the transaction, Dragonfly Energy’s existing lenders agreed to amend certain terms of the Company’s debt
arrangements, including reducing the Company’s minimum cash covenant and providing for the next two quarters of interest to be
paid in kind rather than in cash. These amendments are expected to preserve approximately $1 million of near-term liquidity and provide
the Company with additional financial flexibility.
“We
believe Dakota Lithium represents a compelling strategic and financial opportunity for Dragonfly Energy,” said Dr. Denis Phares,
Chief Executive Officer of Dragonfly Energy. “The business established a meaningful multiyear revenue base across attractive specialty
battery markets, but more recently faced working-capital and inventory constraints that limited product availability. By supporting the
Dakota Lithium brand through infrastructure we already have in place, we believe we can restore availability, reconnect with customers
and grow the business efficiently. We expect the acquisition to support our goal of achieving positive Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth
quarter of 2026.
The
shares of common stock described above were offered under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”)
and have not been registered under the Act, or applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, such shares may not be offered or sold
in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements
of the Act and such applicable state securities laws.
The
transaction was facilitated by an affiliate of Resolution Financial Advisors LLC, a specialty financial advisory firm based in Los Angeles,
New York and Silicon Valley.
This
press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities
in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under
the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
