Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 26, 2026, XCF Global, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“XCF” or the “Company”), entered into a binding term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) with Southern Energy Renewables, Inc., a Louisiana corporation (“Southern”), DevvStream Corp., an Alberta corporation (“DEVS”), and EEME Energy SPV I LLC (“EEME”), which sets forth the principal terms and conditions of a proposed business combination and related financing transactions (collectively, the “Proposed Transaction”). Pursuant to the Term Sheet, and subject to the finalization of mutually agreeable merger structure and definitive transaction documents and ultimately the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, it is expected that Southern and DEVS will each merge with wholly-owned subsidiaries of XCF, with Southern and DEVS surviving, and their respective stockholders receiving shares of Class A common stock of XCF, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), resulting in Southern and DEVS becoming wholly-owned subsidiaries of XCF.

In connection with and to support the Proposed Transaction and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Term Sheet, XCF agreed to invest $10 million to convert and build out its New Rise Reno facility for sustainable aviation fuel (“SAF”) blending and related corporate purposes (the “Plant Conversion”), to be funded through the sale by XCF to EEME of $10 million of Common Stock; provided that in no event shall XCF issue to EEME, nor shall EEME (i) acquire more than 41,639,170 shares of XCF’s common stock pursuant to this Term Sheet or (ii) acquire or to otherwise become, directly or indirectly, a “beneficial owner” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) of a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date hereof until such time as XCF has obtain stockholder approval for such issuance (the “Share Cap”). Contemporaneously with the execution of this Term Sheet, EEME is expected to purchase 7,000,000 million shares of Common Stock for $700,000. The issuance and sale to EEME of the remaining 93,000,000 shares of Common Stock is expected, subject to the Share Cap, to be consummated periodically during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on March 31st, 2026, pursuant to the schedule below (the “Funding Schedule”). EEME is expected to have customary demand and piggy-back registration rights and will not be subject to any lock-up or other transfer restrictions (other than as imposed by applicable securities laws or underwriters.) EEME’s obligation to acquire such shares is independent of the remainder of the proposed Transaction contemplated by the Term Sheet. The offer and sale of the shares of XCF common stock to EEME, will be made in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Securities Act”), or upon such other exemption or exclusion from the registration requirements of the Securities Act as may be available with respect to any or all of the transactions with the EEME to be made under the Term Sheet.

The Term Sheet provides that the Board of Directors of XCF (the “Board”) post-closing will be comprised of four members designated by XCF (including XCF’s Chief Executive Officer, Chris Cooper, as chair), two members designated by Southern, and one member designated by DEVS.

The Term Sheet includes customary provisions regarding definitive agreements, including that the business combination agreement and related agreements will contain customary representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities, limitations on indemnity, termination provisions, and other terms typical for transactions of this nature.

The Term Sheet further provides for certain interim covenants and restrictions, including, but not limited to, that (so long as EEME continues funding under the schedule) XCF will not issue securities under its equity line of credit without EEME’s approval, neither XCF nor DEVS will effect any reverse split without EEME’s prior written consent, and neither XCF, Southern, nor DEVS (or their affiliates) will sell shares to brokers for naked short coverage.

The Term Sheet is governed by Delaware law, contains customary confidentiality provisions, and will remain in effect until the earliest of: 180 days after its date, execution of definitive agreements, mutual written termination, termination by XCF for failure by EEME to timely fund per the schedule, termination by any party based on unsatisfactory due diligence, or termination by any party to fulfill fiduciary duties in respect of a superior offer.

There can be no assurance that any of the foregoing conditions will be satisfied or waived, that the definitive agreements necessary to consummate the Proposed Transaction will be entered into, or that the Proposed Transaction will be consummated on the terms described herein or at all. The closing the Proposed Transaction, including the satisfaction of the closing conditions, are subject to numerous factors, many of which are outside the control of XCF, including market conditions, regulatory approvals, the actions of third parties, the ability of the parties to negotiate and execute definitive agreements, and the achievement of specified operational and financial milestones, including certain conditions that depend on the business performance and operating results of XCF. Although the Term Sheet provides that certain provisions are binding on the parties, it does not obligate the parties to consummate the Proposed Transaction, and the Term Sheet reflects preliminary, non-final terms that remain subject to further negotiation, modification, and approval by the applicable boards of directors and special committees and may be terminated in accordance with its terms, including in circumstances involving an alleged breach. Any such termination, or a failure by the parties to agree on definitive documentation, could result in disputes or litigation relating to the interpretation, enforceability, or performance of the binding provisions of the Term Sheet, which could be costly, time-consuming, divert management attention, and adversely affect the financial condition or liquidity of one or more of the parties, including their ability to pursue or defend such claims. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on the consummation of the Proposed Transaction or on the achievement of any related milestones or financial thresholds. Moreover, even if the Proposed Transaction is consummated, the parties may never achieve the purpose of the Proposed Transaction and the market value the parties are aiming to achieve may never materialize.

The foregoing description of the Term Sheet does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Term Sheet, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

IN WITNESS HEREOF, each of the parties have executed this Term Sheet as of the date first set forth above.

Exhibit 99.1

XCF Global, Southern Energy Renewables and DevvStream Agree to Binding Term Sheet for Three-Party Merger

HOUSTON, Texas and SACRAMENTO, California, January 26, 2026 — XCF Global, Inc. (“XCF”) (Nasdaq: SAFX), a key player in decarbonizing the aviation industry through sustainable aviation fuel (“SAF”), and DevvStream Corp. (Nasdaq: DEVS) (“DevvStream”), a leading carbon management and environmental-asset monetization firm, today announced that they have agreed to a binding term sheet to combine Southern Energy Renewables Inc. (“Southern”) (together, the “Parties”) in a three-party merger.

If the Parties are able to successfully negotiate a definitive agreement, the Parties believe the combined entity will form an integrated platform of complementary assets, with the opportunity to deploy a disciplined and proprietary environmental attribute and credit generation strategy across North America and emerging markets. The binding term sheet establishes a framework for collaboration and mutual understanding among the Parties.

The proposed transaction is intended to reinforce the development of a low-carbon fuels platform designed to accelerate SAF via HEFA, e-methanol, e-methanol-to-jet fuel pathways, expand domestic production capacity, and integrate environmental-attribute monetization into a unified customer offering. As part of the evaluation and negotiation of the definitive transaction agreement, the Parties plan to explore opportunities for integrating small modular reactor (“SMR”) nuclear power with electro-sustainable aviation fuel (“eSAF”), AI data center power, and associated environmental attribute structures.

Entry into definitive transaction agreements is subject to review and approval by the Boards of Directors of the respective companies. As part of the binding term sheet, an investor has agreed to purchase shares of XCF to fund near-term operations and, critically, to complete targeted upgrades and modifications at XCF’s New Rise Reno refinery. These funds are intended to be used to:

The ultimate objective of the incremental funding is to bring the New Rise Reno facility into sustained commercial production and support the ramp-up of SAF output.

Chris Cooper, Chief Executive Officer of XCF commented: “We are excited to formalize a proposed final structure with DevvStream and Southern on what we believe will be a very accretive and excellent opportunity. We believe this combination has the potential to further validate the value XCF brings to the SAF industry while increasing shareholder value and providing alternative clean fuel opportunities. If consummated, this merger has the potential to solidify our footprint in North America as the supreme SAF producer.”

Sunny Trinh, Chief Executive Officer of DevvStream commented: “We believe the next phase of SAF adoption will favor U.S.-based platforms that can move quickly, operate at scale, and better integrate environmental attributes into the fuel value chain to support project economics and customer confidence. If progressed, this merger would bring together complementary strengths—XCF’s scale and speed-to-market, Southern’s biomass feedstock focus, and DevvStream’s environmental-asset capabilities—with the shared objective of building a globally competitive low-carbon fuels platform grounded in real operating execution.”

Jay Patel, Chief Executive Officer of Southern Energy Renewables added: “Southern’s approach is centered on sustainable biomass feedstocks and scalable fuel pathways, and we see meaningful potential in combining that focus with XCF’s production footprint and ability to accelerate commercialization.
