Item 1. Description of the Material Event
On August 30, 2025, Santana Equestrian Private Financial, Inc. (“SEQP” or the “Company”) and its operating partner Immaculate Ways Inc. (d/b/a Activium Soil) filed a Motion to Dismiss and Comprehensive Response to a Verified Complaint brought by Agricultural Blending Company, LLC, a direct competitor in the manure processing sector, in Florida Department of Environmental Protection Office of General Counsel Case No. 25-1566.
The petition challenges SEQP’s ongoing manure-to-fertilizer operations located at its leased agricultural site in Loxahatchee, Florida. SEQP maintains that the petition is without merit and is part of a direct competitor’s attempt to restrict or interfere with SEQP’s operations in Palm Beach County’s equestrian market.
Item 2. Legal and Regulatory Position
SEQP asserts that its activities are lawful agricultural operations under:
The Company’s filing requests dismissal of claims against non-operating landlords and subcontracted transporters, and further argues that naming DEP itself as a respondent is jurisdictionally improper.
Item 3. Operational Continuity
To protect the equestrian community and its client base during this proceeding, SEQP continues to operate its “Delivery Services Partner Program”, a collaborative model with licensed manure haulers. Through this program, SEQP and its partners service over 400 equestrian farms across Palm Beach County, ensuring uninterrupted manure collection and transport.
This cooperative program helps prevent any accumulation of uncollected biomass, which could otherwise generate immediate emergency conditions for horse farms and pose environmental risks. SEQP emphasizes that its operations are designed to safeguard community needs while transforming equine waste into regulated, licensed fertilizer products.
Item 4. Commitment to Compliance
SEQP reiterates its commitment to compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws. The Company has already obtained a Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services Fertilizer License (No. F003275) covering its Activium Soil fertilizer products.
SEQP is also prepared to cure or adjust operations should DEP identify any specific nonconformities. The Company views the DEP process as an opportunity to further formalize its role as a recognized agricultural recycler under Florida law.
Item 5. Financial and Market Impact
As a publicly traded issuer, SEQP recognizes this legal proceeding as a material event due to potential impacts on reputation, contracts, and trading volatility. While SEQP remains confident in a favorable resolution, the petition could create short-term risks including:
At the same time, SEQP views this process as a strategic opportunity: a favorable ruling would validate its regulatory standing, reinforce investor confidence, and reduce long-term compliance risk for its manure-to-fertilizer operations.
Item 6. Forward-Looking Statements
This disclosure contains forward-looking statements regarding legal proceedings, regulatory compliance, and business strategy. These statements are based on current expectations and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions beyond the Company’s control. Actual results may differ materially. SEQP undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements except as required by law.
