THE FOLLOWING WAS CONSIDERED BY THE BOARD PRIOR TO ITS APPROVAL RECOMMENDATION Approval of the proposals to increase authorised capital and subsequently effect a reverse stock split are necessary steps in the Company’s plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s standards for continued listing. Failure to complete the plan is expected to result in the Company’s ordinary shares being delisting from Nasdaq, which will cause the Company to lose access to its current sources of funding. If the ordinary shares of Zapp EV are delisted from Nasdaq, this could adversely affect the value of the securities and trading volume, making it more difficult to buy and sell the shares.
