  • On February 23, 2026, the Company completed the initial closing under the Share Purchase Agreement and converted the previously issued $166,000 secured convertible note as part of the first tranche investment.

  • Subject to the satisfaction of applicable milestone criteria and other conditions, Enquantum may issue additional ordinary shares to the Company in connection with monthly tranche investments that are generally intended to increase the Company’s ownership interest by approximately 4% per month until the Company reaches approximately 48% ownership on a fully diluted basis.

  • Also, if general economic conditions are poor, some of our customers may cease operations completely or be acquired by other companies, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
