Complying With Laws and Regulations Our Company is committed to compliance with all laws, rules, and regulations that apply to our business. It is impossible to anticipate every question you may have or situation you might face so, in addition to the Code, our Company also has other resources that can be of help. These additional resources are listed throughout the Code. As always, we rely on you to use good judgment and to seek help when you need it. Contact the Compliance Officer at (775) 221-8900 or legal@dragonflyenergy.com. Who Must Follow This Code All employees of Dragonfly and its subsidiaries, including executives, corporate officers, and members of our Board of Directors, are required to read, understand, and follow our Code.Consultants, contractors, agents, suppliers, vendors, and temporary employees (“busi- ness partners”) who serve as an extension of Dragonfly are also expected to follow the spirit of our Code, our Supplier Code of Conduct, and any applicable contractual provisions.If you supervise our business partners, you are responsible for communicating our stan-dards and ensuring that they are understood. If a business partner fails to meet our ethics and compliance expectations or their related contractual obligations, it may result in the termination of their contract. Accountability and DisciplineViolating our Code, our policies, or the law, or encouraging others to do so, exposes our Company to liability and puts our reputation at risk. If you see or suspect a violation, report it. Anyone who violates our Code will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termi-nation of their employment with Dragonfly.

It means serving our customers, fulfilling our mission, and building a Company we can all be proud of. But what matters more than the work we do is the way we do it – by doing what’s right and what’s best for our Company and our customers. Dragonfly expects us to act with integrity in every action and interaction, making decisions that reflect who we are and what we stand for as a Company. In many situations, the right thing to do may be clear. But, we understand that work can be complicated – so can the laws and rules that apply to us. Sometimes it can be hard to know what to do or where to go for help. Our Code of Conduct (“Code”) is your most important resource in this effort. It is designed with you in mind – a vital resource that will help you: •  Comply with applicable laws, regulations and Company policies. •  Promote integrity and the highest stan-dards of ethical conduct.•  Address common ethical situations you could encounter in your work.•  Avoid even the appearance of anything improper in connection with our Company’s business activities. Understanding Our Code

What If? Q: I’m a supervisor and not clear on what my obligations are if someone comes to me with an accusation – and what if it involves a senior supervisor?A: No matter who the allegation involves, you must report it. Dragonfly provides several avenues for reporting concerns. If for any reason you are uncomfortable making a report to a particular person, you may talk to any of the other resources listed in the Code. Q: I observed misconduct in an area not under my supervision. Am I still required to report the issue?A: You are chiefly responsible for employees and business partners under your supervision, but all Dragonfly employees are required to report misconduct. As a leader, you are especially obliged to be proactive. The best approach would be to talk first with the supervisor who oversees the area where the problem is occurring, but if this isn’t feasible or effective, you should contact another resource described in our Code. Our Responsibilities Each of us has an obligation to act with integrity, even when this means making diffi- cult choices. Meeting this obligation is what enables us to succeed and grow. Employee Responsibilities Every employee has a responsibility to:•  Act in a professional, honest, and ethical manner when conducting business on behalf of our Company.•  Know the information in our Code and Company policies and pay particular atten-tion to the topics that apply to your specific job responsibilities. •  Complete all required employee training in a timely manner and keep up-to-date on current standards and expectations.•  Report concerns about possible violations of our Code, our policies, or the law to your supervisor, an executive, or any of the resources listed in this Code.•  Cooperate and tell the truth when responding to an investigation or audit, and never alter or destroy records in response to an investigation or when an investigation is anticipated.Additional Responsibilities of Supervisors Dragonfly supervisors are expected to meet the following additional responsibilities:•  Lead by example. As a supervisor, you are expected to exemplify high standards of ethical business conduct.•  Help create a work environment that values mutual respect and open communication. •  Be a resource for others. Communicate often with employees and business part- ners about how the Code and other policies apply to their daily work.•  Be proactive. Look for opportunities to discuss and address ethical dilemmas and challenging situations with others.•  Delegate responsibly. Never delegate authority to any individual whom you believe may engage in unlawful conduct or unethical activities.•  Respond quickly and effectively. When a concern is brought to your attention, ensure that it is treated seriously and with due respect for everyone involved.•  Be aware of the limits of your authority. Do not take any action that exceeds your authority. If you are ever unsure of what is appropriate (and what isn’t), discuss the matter with your supervisor. Remember: No reason, including the desire to meet business goals, should ever be an excuse for violating our Code, our policies, or the law. 5 Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp./ Code of Conduct HOME

What to Expect When You Use the EthicsPoint HotlineThe EthicsPoint Hotline web portal and phone line are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Trained special-ists from an independent third-party provider of corporate compliance services will answer your call, document your concerns, and forward a written report to Dragonfly for further investigation.When you contact the EthicsPoint Hotline, you may choose to remain anon-ymous where permitted by local law. All reports received will be treated equally, whether they are submitted anonymously or not. After you make a report, you will receive an identification number so you can follow up on your concern. Following up is especially important if you have submitted a report anonymously, as we may need additional information in order to conduct an effective investiga-tion. This identification number will also enable you to track the resolution of the case; however, please note that out of respect for privacy, Dragonfly will not be able to inform you about individual disci-plinary actions.Any report you make will be kept confidential by all individuals involved with reviewing and, if necessary, investigating it. Remember, an issue cannot be addressed unless it is brought to someone’s attention. What If? Q: I believe someone has misused the EthicsPoint Hotline, made an anonymous call and falsely accused someone of wrongdoing. What should I do?A: Report your concern immediately. Experience has shown that the EthicsPoint Hotline is rarely used for malicious purposes, but it is important to know that we will follow up on reports, and anyone who uses the EthicsPoint Hotline in bad faith to spread falsehoods or threaten others, or with the intent to unjustly damage another person’s reputation, will be subject to disciplinary action. Making Good Decisions Making the right decision is not always easy. There may be times when you’ll be under pres- sure or unsure of what to do. Always remember that when you have a tough choice to make, you’re not alone. There are resources available to help you. Facing a Difficult Decision? It may help to ask yourself: Is it legal? Is it consistent with our Code and our Values? Would I feel comfortable if senior management and others within my Company knew about it? Would I feel comfortable if my decision or my actions were made public?If the answer to all of these questions is “yes,” the decision to move forward is probably OK, but if the answer to any question is “no” or “I’m not sure,” stop and seek guidance.Remember, in any situation, under any circum-stances, it is always appropriate to ask for help. One More Thing …We value your feedback. If you have suggestions for ways to enhance our Code, our policies, or our resources to better address a partic-ular issue you have encountered, bring them forward. Promoting an ethical Dragonfly is a responsibility we all share. Where to Go for Help If you see or suspect any violation of our Code, our policies, or the law, or if you have a question about what to do, talk to your supervisor. If you’re uncomfortable speaking with your supervisor, there are other resources available to help you: •  Contact another member of management.•  Contact Human Resources.•  Contact the Compliance Office.•  Contact the Legal Department.•  Contact the EthicsPoint Hotline at (844) 995-4981. Dragonfly will make every reasonable attempt to ensure that your concerns are addressed appropriately. 6 Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp./ Code of Conduct HOME

Do the Right Thing •   Treat others respectfully and professionally. •   Promote diversity in hiring and other employment decisions.•   Do not discriminate against others on the basis of any other characteristic protected by law or Company policy.Watch Out For •   Comments, jokes, or materials, including emails, which others might consider offensive.•   Inappropriate bias when judging others. If you supervise others, judge them on performance. Use objective, quantifiable standards and avoid introducing unrelated considerations into your decisions.Creating a Great Workplace Our Non-retaliation PolicyWe will not tolerate any retaliation against any employee who, in good faith, asks questions, makes a report of actions that may be incon-sistent with our Code, our policies, or the law, or who assists in an investigation of suspected wrongdoing. Reporting “in good faith” means making a genuine attempt to provide honest, complete, and accurate information, even if it later proves to be unsubstantiated or mistaken. What If? Q: I suspect there may be some unethical behavior going on in my business unit involving my supervisor. I know I should report my suspicions, and I’m thinking about using the EthicsPoint Hotline, but I’m concerned about retaliation.A: You are required to report misconduct and, in your situation, using the EthicsPoint Hotline is a good option. We will investigate your suspicions and may need to talk to you to gather additional information. After you make the report, if you believe you are experiencing any retaliation, you should report it. We take claims of retaliation seriously. Reports of retaliation will be thoroughly investigated and, if they are true, retaliators will be disciplined. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Dragonfly helps bring together employees with a wide variety of backgrounds, skills, and cultures. Combining such a wealth of talent and resources creates the diverse and dynamic teams that consistently drive our results.Our colleagues, job applicants, and busi-ness partners are entitled to respect. We are committed to ensuring that they feel welcomed and valued and that they are given opportuni-ties to grow, contribute, and develop with us. To uphold that commitment, we support laws prohibiting discrimination and provide equal opportunity for employment, income, and advancement in all our departments, programs, and worksites. This means we base employment decisions solely on qualifications, demonstrated skills, and achievements – and never on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orien- tation, or gender identity), national origin, age, disability, genetic information, or any other char-acteristic protected by law. 7 Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp./ Code of Conduct HOME

Harassment-free Workplace We all have the right to work in an environment that is free from intimidation, harassment, bullying, and abusive conduct. Verbal or phys-ical conduct by any employee that harasses another, disrupts another’s work performance, or creates an intimidating, offensive, abusive, or hostile work environment will not be tolerated.Sexual HarassmentA common form of harassment is sexual harassment, which in general occurs when:• Actions that are unwelcome are made a condition of employment or used as the basis for employment decisions, such as a request for a date, a sexual favor, or other similar conduct of a sexual nature.• An intimidating, offensive, or hostile environment is created by unwelcome sexual advances, insulting jokes, or other offensive verbal or physical behavior of a sexual nature. Do the Right Thing •   Promote a positive attitude toward policies designed to build a safe, ethical, and professional workplace. •   Help each other by speaking out when a coworker’s conduct makes others uncomfortable. •   Demonstrate professionalism. Do not visit inappropriate internet sites or display sexually explicit or offensive pictures.•   Report all incidents of harassment and intimidation that may compromise our ability to work together and be productive.Watch Out For•   Threatening remarks, obscene phone calls, stalking, or any other form of harassment.•   Sexual harassment or other unwelcome verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature.•   The display of sexually explicit or offensive pictures or other materials.•   Sexual or offensive jokes or comments (explicit or by innuendo) and leering.•   Verbal abuse, threats, or taunting. What If? Q: One of my coworkers sends emails containing jokes and derogatory comments about certain nationalities. They make me uncomfortable, but no one else has spoken up about them. What should I do?A: You should notify your supervisor or Human Resources. Sending these kinds of jokes violates our Values as well as our policies that relate to the use of email and our standards on diversity, harassment, and discrimination. By doing nothing you are condoning discrimination and tolerating beliefs that can seriously erode the team environment that we have all worked to create. 8 Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp./ Code of Conduct HOME

Health and Safety Ensuring safety is an integral part of everything we do. Each of us is responsible for acting in a way that protects ourselves and others. No matter what job you do or where you do it, we count on every employee to actively promote a safe and healthy workplace, and report any situations that may pose a health, safety, or security risk. Reporting risks and hazards is not just the right thing to do, it’s a requirement, because a failure to speak up about an incident, or to participate in an investigation into an incident, can have serious repercussions for you, for our Company, and for every employee on the job, every day. Do your part to keep everyone in the Dragonfly family injury-free.Alcohol and DrugsWhile at work or on Dragonfly business:• You should be always ready to carry out your work duties – never impaired.• Do not use, possess, or be under the influence of illegal drugs or any substance that could interfere with a safe and effective work environment or harm our Company’s reputation. Workplace ViolenceViolence of any kind has no place at Dragonfly. We won’t tolerate:• Intimidating, threatening, or hostile behavior.• Causing physical injury to another.• Acts of vandalism, arson, sabotage, or other criminal activities.• The carrying of firearms or other weapons onto Company property unless you are authorized to do so.Do the Right Thing •   Follow the safety, security, and health rules and practices that apply to your job. •   Maintain a neat, safe working environment by keeping workstations, aisles, and other workspaces free from obstacles, wires, and other potential hazards.•   Notify your supervisor immediately about any unsafe equipment, or any situation that could pose a threat to health or safety or damage the environment. As an employee, you have the right and the responsibility to stop any work if you feel your safety is at risk.•   Cooperate with any investigations into incidents. Watch Out For •   Unsafe practices or work conditions.•   Carelessness in enforcing security standards, such as facility entry procedures and password protocols. What If? Q: While on a business trip, a colleague of mine repeatedly asked me out for drinks and made comments about my appearance that made me uncomfortable. We weren’t in the office and it was after regular working hours, so I wasn’t sure what I should do. Was that harassment?A: Yes, it was. This type of conduct is not tolerated, not only during working hours but in all work-related situations, including business trips. Tell your colleague such actions are inappropriate and must be stopped, and if they continue, report the problem.Q: I frequently hear a colleague making derogatory comments to another coworker. These comments make me feel uncomfortable, but I feel like it’s none of my business, and the person they’re directed at will speak up if they are offended. Should I ignore this?A: No, you shouldn’t. It’s up to each of us to help maintain a work environment where people feel welcomed, valued, and included. Since you’re aware of this situation, you have a responsibility to speak up about it. If you feel you can, speak to your colleague and ask that this behavior stop. If you feel you can’t or the comments continue, talk to your supervisor or another resource. 9 Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp./ Code of Conduct HOME

What If? Q: I’ve noticed some practices in my area that don’t seem safe. Who can I speak to? I’m new here and don’t want to be considered a troublemaker. A: Discuss your concerns with your supervisor or Human Resources. There may be very good reasons for the practices, but it’s important to remember that raising a concern about safety does not make you a troublemaker, but a responsible employee concerned about the safety of others.Q: A subcontractor commits a violation of our standards. Are subcontractors expected to follow the same health, safety, and security policies and procedures as employees?A: Absolutely. Supervisors are responsible for ensuring that subcontractors and other business partners at work on Dragonfly premises understand and comply with all applicable laws and regulations governing the particular facility, as well as with additional requirements our Company may impose. Physical and Electronic AssetsPhysical assets include Dragonfly facilities, materials, and equipment. Electronic assets include computer and communication systems, software, and hardware. Files and records are also Company assets, and we have a respon-sibility to ensure their confidentiality, security, and integrity. Be aware that any information you create, share, or download onto Company systems belongs to Dragonfly, and we have the right to review and monitor system use at any time, without notifying you, to the extent permitted by law.Protecting Information and Assets Our Company Assets Each of us is entrusted with Company assets – the resources we own (whether tangible or intangible) that enable us to operate. We are personally responsible for using them with care and protecting them from fraud, waste, and abuse. Personal use of Company assets is discouraged, but where permitted, should be kept to a minimum and have no adverse effect on productivity and the work environment. 10 Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp./ Code of Conduct HOME

Confidential Information and Intellectual PropertyDragonfly relies on each of us to be vigilant and protect confidential information and intellectual property – some of our most important and valuable assets.

Data PrivacyWe respect the personal information of others. Follow our policies and all applicable laws and regulations in collecting, accessing, using, storing, sharing, and disposing of sensitive information. Only use it – and share it with others outside of Dragonfly – for legitimate business purposes. Make sure you know the kind of information that is considered personal information. It includes anything that could be used to identify someone, either directly or indirectly, such as a name, email address, phone number, or credit card number. Watch Out For •   Failing to shred or securely dispose of sensitive information.•   Using “free” or individually purchased internet hosting, collaboration, or cloud services that could put personal information at risk. Do the Right Thing •   Promptly disclose to Company management any inventions or other IP that you create while you are employed by Dragonfly. •   Properly label confidential information to indicate how it should be handled, distributed, and destroyed.•   Use and disclose confidential information only for legitimate business purposes.•   Protect our intellectual property and confidential information by sharing it only with authorized parties.•   Only store or communicate Company information using Dragonfly information systems.

Do the Right Thing •   Create business records that accurately reflect the truth of the underlying event or transaction. Be guided by the principles of transparency and truthfulness.•   Write carefully in all of your business communications. Write as though someday the records you create may become public documents.Watch Out For •    Records that are not clear and com p lete or that obscure the true nature of any action. •   Undisclosed or unrecorded funds, assets, or liabilities.•   Improper destruction of documents. What If? Q: At the end of the last quarter reporting period, my supervisor asked me to record additional expenses, even though I had not yet received the invoices from the supplier and the work has not yet started. I agreed to do it, since we were all sure that the work would be completed in the next quarter. Now I wonder if I did the right thing.A: No, you didn’t. Costs must be recorded in the period in which they are incurred. The work was not started and the costs were not incurred by the date you recorded the transaction. It was therefore a misrepresentation and, depending on the circumstances, could amount to fraud. Accurate RecordkeepingThe accuracy and completeness of our disclosures and business records are essential to making informed decisions and supporting investors, regulators, and others. Our books and records must accurately and fairly reflect our transactions in sufficient detail and in accordance with our accounting practices and policies. Some employees have special responsibili-ties in this area, but all of us contribute to the process of recording business results or main-taining records. Ensure that the information we record is accurate, timely, complete, and maintained in a manner that is consistent with our internal controls, disclosure controls, and legal obligations. Records ManagementDocuments should only be disposed of in compliance with Dragonfly policies and should never be destroyed or hidden. You must never conceal wrongdoing or permit others to do so. Never destroy documents in response to – or in anticipation of – an investigation or audit. If you have any questions or concerns about retaining or destroying corpo-rate records, please contact the Legal Department. 13 Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp./ Code of Conduct HOME

Working With Integrity What If? Q: I think there may be an issue with one of the manufacturing processes at my facility, but we are behind schedule and if I say anything, we will be delayed further as the Company investigates. What should I do?A: Dragonfly never sacrifices quality to meet a Company deadline or target. You should report the matter immediately. Product Quality, Safety, and Stewardship We are dedicated to earning and maintaining the trust of our customers by ensuring the quality, safety, and performance of our products. Each of us, as well as business partners, are expected to meet all product quality and safety specifications and our customers’ expectations. Do the Right Thing •   Adhere to the highest standards and never take shortcuts or make exceptions that could compromise the quality or safety of our products. •   Do your part to ensure complete and accurate quality testing and performance reporting. •   Routinely check equipment and processes to ensure they conform to specifications and expectations – work toward contin-uous improvement.•   If you believe there is a safety issue or defect that might endanger a customer, report the issue to your supervisor immediately. Responsible CommunicationsDragonfly is committed to maintaining honest, professional, and lawful internal and public communications. We need a consistent voice when making disclosures or providing information to the public. For this reason, each of us must help the Company ensure that only authorized persons speak on behalf of Dragonfly. Refer any communications with the media, investors, stock analysts, and other members of the finan- cial community to executive management. Full, Fair, and Timely DisclosuresDragonfly is committed to meeting its obligations of full, fair, and timely disclosure in all reports and docu-ments that describe our business and financial results, and other public communications. Watch Out For •   Giving public speeches or writing articles for professional journals or other public communications that relate to Dragonfly without appropriate management approval.•   The temptation to use your title or affiliation outside of your work for Dragonfly without it being clear that the use is for identification only.•   Invitations to speak “off the record” to journalists or analysts who ask you for information about Dragonfly or its customers or business partners.Be careful when writing communications that might be published online. If you participate in internet discussion groups, chat rooms, bulletin boards, blogs, social media sites, or other elec-tronic communications, even under an alias, never give the impression that you are speaking on behalf of Dragonfly.If you believe a false statement about our Company has been posted, do not post or share nonpublic information, even if your intent is to “set the record straight.” Your posting might be misinterpreted, start false rumors, or may be inaccurate or misleading. Instead, contact Investor Relations or the Chief Finance Officer. 14 Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp./ Code of Conduct HOME

Conflicts of InterestA conflict of interest can occur whenever you have a competing interest or activity that may interfere with your ability to make an objective decision on behalf of Dragonfly. Each of us is expected to use good judgment and avoid situ-ations that can lead to even the appearance of a conflict, because the perception of a conflict can undermine the trust others place in us and damage our reputation. Conflicts of interest may be actual, potential, or even just a matter of perception. Since these situations are not always clear-cut, you need to fully disclose them to your supervisor so that they can be properly evaluated, moni-tored, and managed. Fair DealingWe treat our customers and business partners fairly. We work to understand and meet their needs and seek competitive advantages through superior performance, never through unethical or illegal practices. We tell the truth about our services and capabilities and never make claims that aren’t true. In short, we treat our customers and business partners as we would like to be treated.Do the Right Thing •   Be responsive to customer requests and questions. Only promise what you can deliver and deliver on what you promise. •   Never take unfair advantage of anyone by manipulating, concealing, misrepresenting material facts, abusing privileged information, or any other unfair dealing practice. •   Never grant a customer’s request to do something that you regard as unethical or unlawful.•   Speak with your supervisor if you have concerns about any error, omission, undue delay, or defect in quality or our customer service.Watch Out For •   Pressure from colleagues or supervisors to cut corners on quality or delivery standards. •   Temptations to tell customers what you think they want to hear rather than the truth; if a situation is unclear, begin by presenting a fair and accurate picture as a basis for decision-making. 15 Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp./ Code of Conduct HOME

Gifts and EntertainmentA modest gift may be a thoughtful “thank you,” or a meal may offer an opportunity to discuss business. If not handled carefully, however, the exchange of gifts and entertainment could be improper or create a conflict of interest. This is especially true if an offer is extended frequently, or if the value is large enough that someone may think it is being offered in an attempt to influence a business decision. Only offer and accept gifts and entertainment that comply with our policies and make sure that anything given or received is accurately reported in our books and records. Be aware that the rules for what we may give to – or accept from – government officials are much more strict. Don’t offer anything of value to a government official without obtaining approval, in advance, from the Compliance Officer. And remember: We do not accept or provide gifts, favors, or entertainment to anyone – even if it complies with our policies – if the intent is to improperly influence a decision. Be alert to situations, including the following, which are common examples of potential conflicts of interest:Corporate opportunitiesIf you learn about a business opportu-nity because of your job, it belongs to Dragonfly first. This means that you should not take that opportunity for your-self unless you get approval from the Compliance Officer.Friends and relatives On occasion, it is possible that you may find yourself in a situation where you are working with a close friend or relative who works for a customer, busi-ness partner, competitor, or even our Company. Since it is impossible to antic -ipate every scenario that could create a potential conflict, you should disclose your situation to your supervisor to deter-mine if any precautions need to be taken.Outside employment To ensure that there are no conflicts and that potential issues are addressed, you always need to disclose and discuss outside employment with your super-visor. If approved, you must ensure that the outside activity does not interfere with your work at Dragonfly. Working for a competitor, business partner, or customer may raise conflicts that will need to be resolved. Also, any approved side or personal business should not compete with Dragonfly. Personal investmentsA conflict can occur if you have a signifi-cant ownership or other financial interest in a competitor, business partner, or customer. Make sure you know what’s permitted – and what’s not – by our poli-cies and seek help with any questions.Civic activitiesUnless Company management specifically asks you to do so, you shouldn’t accept a seat on the board of directors or advisory board of any of our competitors, business partners, or customers, especially if your current job gives you the ability to influ-ence our relationship with them.Do the Right Thing•   Avoid conflict of interest situations whenever possible. •   Always make business decisions in the best interest of Dragonfly.•   Think ahead and proactively address situations that may put your interests or those of a family member in potential conflict with Dragonfly. •   Discuss with your supervisor full details of any situation that could be perceived as a potential conflict of interest. 16 Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp./ Code of Conduct HOME

When selecting partners, we assess their ability to satisfy our business and technical needs and requirements.

Watch Out For •   Falsified information. Never destroy, alter, or conceal any document in anticipation of or in response to a request for these documents.•   Unlawful influence. Never provide or attempt to influence others to provide incomplete, false, or misleading statements to a Company or government investigator. Cooperation With Investigations and Audits From time to time, employees may be asked to participate in internal and external investi-gations and audits that are conducted by our Company. All employees are expected to fully cooperate with all such requests and ensure that any information you provide is true, accu-rate, and complete. You may also receive inquiries or requests from government officials. If you learn of a potential government investigation or inquiry, immediately notify your supervisor and the Legal Department before taking or promising any action. If you are directed by our Company to respond to a govern-ment official’s request, extend the same level of cooperation and again, ensure that the informa-tion you provide is true, accurate, and complete. Following the Law Insider TradingWe respect every company’s right to protect its material, nonpublic (“inside”) information, and we comply with insider trading laws. In the course of business, you may learn confidential information about Dragonfly or about other publicly traded companies that is not available to the public. Trading securities while aware of inside infor-mation, or disclosing it to others who then trade (“tipping”), is prohibited by various laws.Material InformationMaterial information is the kind of infor-mation a reasonable investor would take into consideration when deciding whether to buy or sell a security. Some examples of information about a company that may be material are:• A proposed acquisition or sale of a business• A significant expansion or cutback of operations• A significant product development or important information about a product• Extraordinary management or business developments• Changes in strategic direction such as entering new markets Do the Right Thing•   Do not buy or sell securities of any company when you have material nonpublic information about that company.•   Protect material nonpublic information from the general public including infor-mation in both electronic form and in paper copy.•   Discuss any questions or concerns about insider trading with the Legal Department. Watch Out For•   Requests from friends or family for information about companies that we do business with or have confidential information about. Even casual conver- sations could be viewed as illegal “tipping” of inside information. •   Sharing material nonpublic informa-tion with anyone, either on purpose or by accident, unless it is essential for Dragonfly-related business. Giving this information to anyone else who might make an investment decision based on your inside information is considered “tipping” and is against the law regard-less of whether you benefit from the outcome of their trading. 18 Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp./ Code of Conduct HOME

What If? Q: I work with a foreign agent in connection with our operations in another country. I suspect that some of the money we pay this agent goes toward making payments or bribes to government officials. What should I do? A: This matter should be reported to the Compliance Officer for investigation. If there is bribery and we fail to act, both you and our Company could be liable. While investigating these kinds of matters can be culturally difficult in some countries, any agent doing business with us should understand the necessity of these measures. It is important and appropriate to remind our agents of this policy. Anti-corruption and Anti-bribery We believe that all forms of bribery and other corrupt practices are an inappropriate way to conduct business regardless of local customs. Dragonfly is committed to complying with all applicable anti-corruption laws. We do not pay or accept bribes or kickbacks, at any time for any reason. This applies equally to any person or firm who represents our Company. It is especially important that we exercise due diligence and carefully monitor third parties acting on our behalf. We carefully screen all business partners who work on our behalf, particularly when dealing in countries with high corruption rates and in any situations where “red flags” would indicate further screening is needed before retaining the business partner. Our partners must understand that they are required to operate in strict compliance with our standards and to maintain accurate records of all transactions. We never ask them to do something that we are prohibited from doing ourselves. Key Definitions • Bribery means giving or receiving anything of value (or offering to do so) in order to obtain a business, financial, or commercial advantage.• Corruption is the abuse of an entrusted power for private gain.• Facilitation payments are typically small payments to a low-level government official that are intended to encourage them to perform their responsibilities.• Government officials include govern-ment employees, political parties, candidates for office, employees of public organizations, and government- owned entities.Do the Right Thing •   Understand the standards set forth under anti-bribery laws which apply to your role at Dragonfly.•   Never give anything of value inconsistent with local laws and regulations to any government official. If you are not sure of the local laws, the safest course of action is to not give anything of value.•   Accurately and completely record all payments to third parties.Watch Out For •   Apparent violations of anti-bribery laws by our business partners.•   Agents who do not wish to have all terms of their engagement with Dragonfly clearly documented in writing. 19 Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp./ Code of Conduct HOME

What If? Q: My work requires regular interaction with customs officials. As part of my job, I am routinely asked to provide the Customs Service with information about our imports and exports. Do I really need to contact the Compliance Officer prior to each and every submission of information to the government? A: The right approach here would be to discuss with the Compliance Officer the types of requests your department routinely receives from Customs. These routine requests, once understood, might be handled without any Compliance Review. Extraordinary requests would still require Legal Department review to ensure that you are responding accurately, fully, and in accordance with the law. Global Trade Dragonfly has global operations that support a growing, worldwide customer base. To maintain and grow our global standing, we must strictly comply with all applicable laws that govern the import, export, and re-export of our products, and also with the laws of the countries where our products are manufactured, repaired, or used. Any violation of these laws, even through ignorance, could have damaging and long- lasting effects on our business. If your responsibilities include exporting prod-ucts or receiving imported products, you are responsible for screening customers, suppliers, and transactions to ensure that we comply with all applicable export and import requirements.Anti-boycott RegulationsWe are subject to the anti-boycott provi-sions of U.S. law that require us to refuse to participate in foreign boycotts that the United States does not sanction. We promptly report any request to join in, support, or furnish information concerning a non-U.S.-sanctioned boycott. Do the Right Thing •   Obtain all necessary licenses before the export or re-export of products, services, or technology.•   Report complete, accurate, and detailed information regarding every imported product, including its place(s) of manufacture and its full cost.•   Direct any questions you have regarding imports or exports of our products, parts, or technology to the Compliance Officer. Watch Out For •   Transferring technical data and technology to someone in another country, such as through email, conversations, meetings, or database access. This restriction applies to sharing information with coworkers, as well as non-employees.•   Transporting Company assets that contain certain technology (such as a computer an associate takes on a business trip) to another country. 20 Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp./ Code of Conduct HOME

What If? Q: I received sensitive pricing information from one of our competitors. What should I do?A: You should contact the Legal Department without delay and before any further action is taken. It is important, from the moment we receive such information, that we demonstrate respect for antitrust laws, and we make it clear that we expect others to do the same. This requires appro- priate action that can only be decided on a case-to-case basis and may include sending a letter to the competitor. Antitrust and Fair CompetitionWe believe in free and open competition and never engage in practices that may limit compe-tition or try to gain competitive advantages through unethical or illegal business practices. Antitrust laws are complex and compliance requirements can vary depending on the circum-stances, so seek help with any questions about what is appropriate and what isn’t. In general, the following activities are red flags, should be avoided, and, if detected, reported to the Legal Department:• Sharing our Company’s competitively sensitive information with a competitor.• Sharing competitively sensitive informa-tion of business partners or other third parties with their competitors. • Attempting to obtain nonpublic informa-tion about competitors from new hires or candidates for employment. Do the Right Thing•   Do not enter into agreements with competitors or others to engage in any anti-competitive behavior, including setting prices or dividing up customers, suppliers, or markets.•   Do not engage in conversations with competitors about competitively sensitive information. Watch Out For •   Collusion – when companies secretly communicate or agree on how they will compete. This could include agreements or exchanges of information on pricing, terms, wages, or allocations of markets. •   Bid-rigging – when competitors or service providers manipulate bidding so that fair competition is limited. This may include comparing bids, agreeing to refrain from bidding, or knowingly submitting noncompetitive bids.•   Tying – when a company with market power forces customers to agree to services or products that they do not want or need.•   Predatory pricing – when a company with market power sells a service below cost to eliminate or harm a competitor, with the intent to recover the loss of revenue later by raising prices after the competitor has been eliminated or harmed. 21 Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp./ Code of Conduct HOME
