EXPLANATORY NOTE
The Solidion Technology, Inc. (“Solidion” or the “Registrant”) 2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) provides for grants of equity awards to designated officers, employees, non-employee directors and consultants of the Registrant. This Registration Statement on Form S-8 includes 190,000 shares (the “Initial Authorization”) of the Registrant’s common stock, $0.0001 par value (the “Shares”), which is the amount initially authorized under the Plan, after giving effect to the 1-for-50 reverse split effectuated on May 12, 2025 (the “Reverse Split”).
In addition, the number of Shares that may be granted under the Plan includes an automatic annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with the 2024 fiscal year, in an amount equal to the least of (1) 190,000 Shares, after giving effect to the Reverse Split, (2) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to five percent (5%) of the total number of shares of all classes of common stock of the Company outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or (3) such number of shares of Common Stock determined by the Plan administrator no later than the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year. The automatic annual increase with respect to (i) the first day of the 2024 fiscal year was 3,211 Shares after giving effect to the Reverse Split, which is 5% of the sum of the number of shares outstanding of Class A common stock and Class B common stock of the Registrant (formerly known as Nubia Brand International Corp.) as of December 31, 2023 (the “FY 2023 Increase”); (ii) the first day of the 2025 fiscal year was 131,697 Shares after giving effect to the Reverse Split, which is 5% of the 2,633,956 Shares outstanding as of December 31, 2024 (the “FY 2024 Increase”); and (iii) the first day of the 2026 fiscal year was 190,000 Shares after giving effect to the Reverse Split (the “FY 2025 Increase”).
This Registration Statement on Form S-8 relates to the Initial Authorization, the FY 2023 Increase, the FY 2024 Increase and the FY 2025 increase, as well as (x) an additional 190,000 Shares expected to be authorized under the Plan for the annual increase with respect to the first day of the 2027 fiscal year, assuming that the number of Shares issued and outstanding on December 31 of the calendar year immediately preceding such fiscal year ending date is 7,745,683, which was the number of Shares outstanding as of February 11, 2026, as reported in the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, dated and filed on February 12, 2026, (y) an additional 190,000 Shares expected to be authorized under the Plan for the annual increase with respect to the first day of the 2028 fiscal year, making the same such assumption and (z) an additional 190,000 Shares expected to be authorized under the Plan for the annual increase with respect to the first day of the 2029 fiscal year, making the same such assumption.

| Item 6. | Indemnification of Directors and Officers. |
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify any person made a party to an action by reason of the fact that he or she was a director, executive officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, except that, in the case of an action by or in right of the corporation, no indemnification may generally be made in respect of any claim as to which such person is adjudged to be liable to the corporation.
The Registrant’s certificate of incorporation and amended and restated Bylaws limit the liability of its directors to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Delaware law provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability for any:
| ● | breach of their duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders; |
| ● | act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; |
| ● | unlawful payment of dividends or redemption of shares as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or |
| ● | transaction from which the directors derived an improper personal benefit. |
These limitations of liability do not apply to liabilities arising under federal securities laws and do not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. The Registrant’s amended and restated Bylaws provide that it will indemnify its directors and executive officers, and may indemnify other officers, employees and other agents, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of the Registrant’s directors and executive officers that require the Registrant to indemnify such persons against expenses, judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred, including expenses of a derivative action, in connection with an actual or threatened proceeding if any of the Registrant’s directors or executive officers may be made a party because he or she is or was one of the Registrant’s directors. The Registrant will be obligated to pay such amounts only if the director acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the Registrant’s best interests. With respect to any criminal proceeding, the Registrant will be obligated to pay such amounts only if the director had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The indemnification agreements also set forth certain procedures that will apply in the event of a claim for indemnification.
Section 145(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation arising out of his or her actions in connection with their services to the Company, regardless of whether its amended and restated Bylaws permit indemnification. The Company has purchased and intends to maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer against any loss arising from any claim asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, subject to certain exclusions.

Not applicable.

| Item 9. | Undertakings. |
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
| (1) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: |
| (i) | to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; |
| (ii) | to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement; |
| (iii) | to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (A)(1)(i) and (A)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement. |
| (2) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| (3) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
