The closing of the reverse merger is the key catalyst, but the stockholder vote on the preferred stock conversion (which unlocks ~97.3M additional shares) is the next major binary event. Monitor the proxy statement filing and timeline for the Stockholders Meeting.

Executive Summary
Envirotech Vehicles (EVTV) closed the acquisition of Azio AI Corporation on July 2, 2026 via a reverse merger, issuing 2,460,351 shares of EVTV common stock (the Exchange Cap of 19.9% of pre-merger outstanding) and 973,450 shares of newly created Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock to Azio AI's stockholders. The transaction transforms EVTV from an electric-vehicle-parts company into an AI infrastructure platform; existing CEO Phillip Oldridge resigned post-closing and Azio AI's CEO Chris Young took over as CEO. The preferred stock is convertible into 100 common shares each (total potential dilution of up to 97.3M additional common shares) contingent on stockholder approval of the Conversion Proposal.
Key Financial Metrics
Key Facts
- EVTV acquired Azio AI Corporation via a two-step reverse merger closed on July 2, 2026.
- Azio AI stockholders received 2,460,351 EVTV common shares (19.9% of pre-merger outstanding, subject to the Exchange Cap) plus 973,450 shares of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock.
- Each Series A Preferred share is convertible into 100 common shares (total = up to 97,345,000 common shares), conversion contingent on stockholder approval.
- Azio AI's $150,000 in convertible notes were assumed and will be convertible into 194,807 EVTV common shares.
- CEO Phillip Oldridge resigned; Chris Young (Azio AI's CEO) appointed as EVTV's CEO; Simon Yu as President; Jason Maddox as CFO; other Azio AI executives appointed as officers.
- The post-merger company will be renamed Azio AI Holdings, Inc. pending stockholder approval.
- EVTV's board expanded; Chris Young appointed as Class II director until 2028 annual meeting.
- A Support Agreement with former EVTV directors/officers ensures their votes for the Conversion Proposal and related matters.
- A Registration Rights Agreement grants Azio AI stockholders demand and piggyback registration rights.
- The deal was not subject to EVTV stockholder approval at closing; stockholder vote is required only for the preferred conversion and name change.
Financial Impact
The total potential dilution from the preferred stock conversion (97.3M shares) and assumed notes (194,807 shares), when added to the 2.46M shares already issued, could increase the fully diluted share count significantly vs. the pre-merger ~12.9M shares outstanding as of May 18, 2026.
Risk Factors
- Failure to obtain stockholder approval for the preferred stock conversion at the Stockholders Meeting would materially limit the merger consideration for Azio stockholders and could create overhang.
- Massive potential dilution (up to 97.3M shares from preferred conversion alone) relative to the tiny pre-merger float could pressure the stock.
- Post-merger integration risk and the ability of the new AI-focused management team to execute on the Azio AI business plan.
- Nasdaq continued listing risk — the company's market cap is only $22M and the business model has fundamentally changed.
