On October 24, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), Mr. Francis A. Braun III, a member of the board of directors (the “Board”) of Elite Express Holding Inc.

Mr. Braun’s resignation was due to personal reasons and not a result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter related to the operations, policies, or practices of the Company.
