Note 1—Organization and Business Operations

Organization and General

In connection with the closing of its proposed business combination with VisionWave Technologies, Inc., discussed below (see also note for subsequent events), VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (“VW Holdings” or the “Company”) is the successor to Bannix Acquisition Corp., (“Bannix”) a blank check company incorporated in the state of Delaware on January 21, 2021. Bannix was formed for the purpose of effecting mergers, capital stock exchange, asset acquisitions, stock purchases, reorganization or similar business combinations with one or more businesses (“Business Combination”).

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from January 21, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (the “IPO”) (as defined below) and the Company’s search for a target and the consummation of an initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash from the proceeds derived from the IPO and non-operating income or expense from the changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities. Until the closing of its business combination with VisionWave Technologies, Inc., the Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

Sponsors and Officers

The Company’s original sponsors were Subash Menon and Sudeesh Yezhuvath (through their investment entity Bannix Management LLP), Suresh Yezhuvath (“Yezhuvath”) and Seema Rao (“Rao”) (collectively, the “Former Sponsor”).

On October 20, 2022, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”), Instant Fame LLC, a Nevada limited liability company controlled by a U.S. person (“Instant Fame”) (the “Sponsor”), acquired an aggregate of 385,000 shares of common stock of the Company from Bannix Management LLP, Balaji Venugopal Bhat, Nicholos Hellyer, Subbanarasimhaiah Arun, Vishant Vora and Suresh Yezhuvath and 90,000 private placement units from Suresh Yezhuvath (collectively, the “Sellers”) in a private transaction. The Sellers immediately loaned the entire proceeds to the Company for the working capital requirements of the Company. In connection with this transaction, all parties agreed to certain changes to the Board of Directors.

As a result of the above, Subash Menon resigned as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company and Nicholas Hellyer resigned as Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Head of Strategy. Douglas Davis was appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Further, Balaji Venugopal Bhat, Subbanarasimhaiah Arun and Vishant Vora resigned as Directors of the Company.

The Board was also increased from two to seven and Craig Marshak and Douglas Davis were appointed as Co-Chairmen of the Board of Directors effective immediately. Further, Jamal Khurshid, Eric T. Shuss and Ned L. Siegel were appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company. The resignations referenced above were not the result of any disagreement with management or the Board.

On November 10, 2022, Sudeesh Yezhuvath resigned as a director of the Company for personal reasons. The resignation was not the result of any disagreements with management or the Board.

Due to vacancies as results of board members departure, on November 11, 2022 the Board made the following decisions: (i) Jamie Khurshid, Ned Siegel and Eric Shuss each have been identified as being financially literate and independent under the SEC and Nasdaq Rules have been appointed to the Audit Committee to serve until their successors are qualified and appointed with such appointment subject to the mailing of that certain Schedule 14F Information Statement.

(iii) Messrs. Davis and Marshak have been appointed as Class III directors, Subash Menon has been appointed as a Class I director and, subject to the mailing of the Schedule 14F Information Statement, Messrs. Khurshid, Siegel and Shuss have been appointed as the Class II directors. The Schedule 14F Information Statement was mailed on or about November 15, 2022.

On May 19, 2023, the Company entered into an Executive Retention Agreement with Mr. Davis, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors, providing for an at-will employment arrangement that may be terminated by either party at any time, which provides for the payment of an annual salary of $240,000 to Mr. Davis. Additionally, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Subash Menon, a director of the Company, for services in connection with the review and advice pertaining to the proposed Business Combination (discussed below) providing for a payment in the amount of $200,000 upon the closing of a Business Combination.

On April 10, 2024, Erik Klinger was appointed by the Company to serve as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. There is no understanding or arrangement between Mr. Klinger and any other person pursuant to which he was appointed as an executive officer. Mr. Klinger does not have any family relationship with any director, executive officer or person nominated or chosen by us to become an executive officer. The employment of Mr. Klinger is at will and may be terminated at any time, with or without formal cause.

Initial Public Offering

The registration statements for the Company’s IPO were declared effective on September 9, 2021 and September 10, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On September 14, 2021, the Company consummated its IPO of 6,900,000 units at $10.00 per unit (the “Units”), which is discussed in Note 3. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock (the “Public Shares”), one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share and one right. Each right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of common stock upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

Concurrent with the IPO, the Company consummated the issuance of 406,000 private placement units (the “Private Placement Units”) as follows: the Company sold 181,000 Private Placement Units to certain investors for aggregate cash proceeds of $2,460,000 and issued an additional 225,000 Private Placement Units to the Former Sponsor in exchange for the cancellation of $1,105,000 in loans and a promissory note due to them (see Notes 4 and 6). Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of common stock, one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per whole share and one right. Each right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of common stock upon the consummation of the Business Combination. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination.

Trust Account and Extensions

Following the closing of the IPO on September 14, 2021, an amount of $69,690,000 ($10.10 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and Private Placement Units was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company. The Company has since divested its investments in the Trust Account and placed the funds in an interest-bearing demand deposit account. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its franchise and income tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), the proceeds from this offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (a) the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and (c) the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within 15 months from the closing of this offering, or within any period of extension, subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public stockholders.

March 8, 2023 Special Meeting

The Company held a Special Meeting of Stockholders on March 8, 2023 (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the stockholders approved the filing of an amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State (the “Extension Amendment”), to extend the date (the “Extension”) by which the Company must (1) complete a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses (an “initial Business Combination”), (2) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such initial Business Combination and (3) redeem 100% of the Company’s common stock (“common stock”) included as part of the Units sold in the Company’s initial public offering that was consummated on September 14, 2021 (the “IPO”), from March 14, 2023, and to allow the Company, without another stockholder vote, to further extend the date to consummate a Business Combination on a monthly basis up to twelve (12) times by an additional one (1) month each time after March 14, 2023 or later extended deadline date, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), if requested by Instant Fame upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable deadline date, until March 14, 2024, or a total of up to twelve (12) months after March 14, 2023 (such date as extended, the “Deadline Date”), unless the closing of a Business Combination shall have occurred prior thereto.

At the Special Meeting, stockholders holding a total of 3,960,387 shares of the Company’s common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account.

On March 8, 2024, the Company held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (the “Annual Meeting”), whereby the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State (the “March 2024 Amendment”), to extend the Deadline Date from March 14, 2024, as extended, and to allow the Company, without another stockholder vote, to further extend the date to consummate a Business Combination on a monthly basis up to six (6) times by an additional one (1) month each time after March 14, 2024 or later extended deadline date, by resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors, if requested by the Company’s Sponsor, until September 14, 2024, or a total of up to six (6) months after March 14, 2024, unless the closing of a Business Combination shall have occurred prior thereto (the “Extension Amendment”).

Additionally, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to remove from the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation the redemption limitation contained under Section 9.2(a) preventing the Company from closing a Business Combination if it would have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (the “NTA Amendment”).

As a result, $2,573,762 (approximately $11.43 per share) was removed from the Company’s Trust Account to pay such holders. Following redemptions, the Company had 2,623,666 shares outstanding.

May 22, 2025 Special Meeting

On May 22, 2025, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “May 2025 Special Meeting”) whereby the Company’s stockholders approved the proposals described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 9, 2025 (the “May 9, 2025 Proxy Statement”).

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had not paid the redeeming stockholders for their redeemed shares and recognized a redemption payable on the condensed consolidated balance sheet for $972,722. In July 2025, the Company paid the redeeming stockholders for their redeemed shares.

In association with the Company’s special meetings and annual meeting, as of the filing of this Form 10-Q, the Company has deposited an aggregate of $1,857,358 into the Trust Account to extend the Deadline Date.

Deadline Date Extension

In connection with the March 7, 2025 Special Meeting, the stockholders of the Company approved the extension of the Deadline date to March 14, 2025 or later extended deadline date, by resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors, if requested by the Company’s Sponsor, until June 14, 2025.

Prior to the June 14, 2025 Deadline Date, management of the Company, representing a majority of the Company’s stockholders, held a meeting with the trustee of the Trust Account to request the Trust Account not be liquidated due to the pending regulatory approval of the proposed Business Combination, discussed below. The trustee exercised administrative authority and agreed to the temporary extension of the Deadline Date pending a stockholder meeting. Before a stockholder meeting could be held to extend the Deadline Date, final regulatory approval was granted by Nasdaq and the Company closed on its proposed Business Combination and terminated the Trust Account.

Initial Business Combination

The Company had until June 14, 2025 (as extended) to (1) complete a Business Combination, (2) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such Business Combination, and (3) redeem 100% of the Company’s common stock included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering.

In the event that the Company receives notice from Instant Fame five days prior to the applicable deadline of its wish for the Company to effect an extension, the Company intends to issue a press release announcing such intention at least three days prior to the applicable deadline. In addition, the Company intends to issue a press release the day after the applicable deadline announcing whether or not the funds had been timely deposited. Instant Fame and its affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the Trust Account to extend the time for the Company to complete the initial Business Combination. If the Company is unable to consummate the initial Business Combination within the applicable time period, the Company will, promptly but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account and promptly following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the rights and warrants will be worthless. Additionally, any initial Business Combination must be approved by a majority of the independent directors.

The Company anticipates structuring the initial Business Combination so that the post-transaction company in which the public stockholders’ own shares will own or acquire substantially all of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses. The Company may, however, structure the initial Business Combination such that the post-transaction company owns or acquires less than substantially all of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the target management team or stockholders or for other reasons, but the Company will only complete such Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). Even if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target, the stockholders prior to the initial Business Combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post-transaction company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and the Company in the Business Combination transaction. For example, the Company could pursue a transaction in which the Company issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of shares or other equity interests. In this case, the Company would acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target. However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number of new shares, the stockholders immediately prior to the initial Business Combination could own less than a majority of the outstanding shares subsequent to the initial Business Combination. If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company, the portion of such business or businesses that is owned or acquired is what will be valued for purposes of the 80% of net assets test. If the initial Business Combination involves more than one target business, the 80% of net assets test will be based on the aggregate value of all of the target businesses even if the acquisitions of the target businesses are not closed simultaneously.

The Company cannot ascertain the capital requirements for any particular transaction. If the net proceeds currently held in the Trust Account prove to be insufficient, either because of the size of the Business Combination, the depletion of the available net proceeds in search of a target business, or because the Company becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of the Public Shares upon consummation of the initial Business Combination, the Company will be required to seek additional financing, in which case the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Furthermore, the Company may issue a substantial number of additional shares of common or preferred stock to complete the initial Business Combination or under an employee incentive plan upon or after consummation of the initial Business Combination. The Company does not have a maximum debt leverage ratio or a policy with respect to how much debt the Company may incur. The amount of debt the Company will be willing to incur will depend on the facts and circumstances of the proposed Business Combination and market conditions at the time of the potential Business Combination. At this time, the Company is not party to any arrangement or understanding with any third party with respect to raising additional funds through the sale of the securities or the incurrence of debt. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Company would only consummate such financing simultaneously with the consummation of the initial Business Combination.

Nasdaq rules require that the initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding advisory fees and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. If the board is not able to independently determine the fair market value of the target business or businesses, the Company will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or an independent accounting firm with respect to the satisfaction of such criteria. The Company does not intend to purchase multiple businesses in unrelated industries in connection with the initial Business Combination.

The Company will provide its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely at its discretion. The stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (initially $10.10 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations plus additional deposits to extend the Combination Period).

Related to the redemption of the Company’s public shares, the Company’s has no limitation on its net tangible assets either immediately before or after the consummation of the Business Combination. Redemptions of the Company’s public shares may be subject to a net tangible asset test or cash requirement pursuant to an agreement relating to a Business Combination. For example, the Business Combination may require: (i) cash consideration to be paid to the target or its owners, (ii) cash to be transferred to the target for working capital or other general corporate purposes or (iii) the retention of cash to satisfy other conditions in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination. In the event the aggregate cash consideration the Company would be required to pay for all shares of common stock that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to the Company, it will not complete the Business Combination or redeem any shares, and all shares of common stock submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof.

The Sponsor, officers and directors and Representative (as defined in Note 6) have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares (as defined below) and Public Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The Company’s Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.95 per Public Share (subject to increase of up to an additional $4,983 per month in the event that the Sponsors elects to extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination as set forth in the March 2025 Extension Amendment) and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.95 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of this offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, the Company has not asked its Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether its Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Company’s Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure that its Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.

Pursuant to the Company’s Investment Management Trust Agreement with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”), dated as of September 10, 2021 (the “Trust Agreement”), as amended, upon a liquidation and termination of the Trust Account as a result of the Company failing to complete a Business Combination, the Company is authorized to withdrawal $100,000 of interest that may be released to the Company to pay dissolution expenses (the “Allowance”). On January 30, 2025, the Company assigned the Trustee $100,000 of the Allowance only in the event of a dissolution and termination of the Trust Account as a result of the Company failing to complete a Business Combination. The Trustee is authorized to offset $100,000 from the Trust Account interest against the Company’s outstanding invoice.

The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement and are subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made the parties to the Merger Agreement which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to stockholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Bannix does not believe that these schedules contain information that is material to an investment decision.

In addition, VisionWave has agreed to adopt an equity incentive plan, as described in the Merger Agreement.

Conditions to the Closing

The obligations of Bannix, VisionWave, Parent Merger Sub and Company Merger Sub (the “Bannix Parties”) and Target to consummate the Business Combination are subject to certain closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the approval of Bannix’s stockholders, (ii) the approval of Target’s stockholders, and (iii) the Company’s Form S-4 registration statement becoming effective.

In addition, the obligations of the Bannix Parties to consummate the Business Combination are also subject to the fulfillment (or waiver) of other closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the representations and warranties of Target being true and correct to the standards applicable to such representations and warranties and each of the covenants of Target having been performed or complied with in all material respects, (ii) delivery of certain ancillary agreements required to be executed and delivered in connection with the Business Combination, and (iii) no Material Adverse Effect having occurred.

The obligation of Target to consummate the Business Combination is also subject to the fulfillment (or waiver) of other closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the representations and warranties of the Bannix Parties being true and correct to the standards applicable to such representations and warranties and each of the covenants of the Bannix Parties having been performed or complied with in all material respects and (ii) the shares of VisionWave Common Stock issuable in connection with the Business Combination being listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Termination Rights

The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances prior to the Closing of the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, (i) by mutual written consent of Bannix and Target, (ii) by Bannix, on the one hand, or Target, on the other hand, if there is any breach of the representations, warranties, covenant or agreement of the other party as set forth in the Merger Agreement, in each case, such that certain conditions to closing cannot be satisfied and the breach or breaches of such representations or warranties or the failure to perform such covenant or agreement, as applicable, are not cured or cannot be cured within certain specified time periods, (iii) by either Bannix or Target if the Business Combination is not consummated, (iv) by either Bannix or Target if a meeting of Bannix’s stockholders is held to vote on proposals relating to the Business Combination and the stockholders do not approve the proposals, and (v) by Bannix if the Target stockholders do not approve the Merger Agreement.

Permitted Financings

The Merger Agreement contemplates that Target (a) may enter into agreements to raise capital in one or more private placement transactions prior to the Closing for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $20,000,000 or (b) consummate an initial sale of any shares of capital stock of Target in an underwritten public offering registered under the Securities Act or any direct listing of any shares of capital stock of Target on a securities exchange or securities market (“Permitted Financings”).

Stockholder Support Agreement

In accordance with the Merger Agreement, within thirty (30) days following the execution of the Merger Agreement, Bannix, VisionWave, Target, and certain stockholders of Target representing the requisite votes necessary to approve the Merger Agreement (the “Target Equity Holders”) are expected to enter into a Stockholder Support Agreement pursuant to which the Target Equity Holders will: (a) agree to vote in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approve the Mergers and the other Transactions to which Target is a party; and (b) agree to waive any appraisal or similar rights they may have pursuant to Nevada law with respect to the Mergers and the other Transactions.

Potential Private Placement

On April 9, 2025, VisionWave Technologies entered into a non-exclusive placement agent engagement agreement (the “Engagement Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”), pursuant to which Maxim will act as VisionWave Technologies’ non-exclusive placement agent in connection with a potential private placement of up to $10 million of equity or equity-linked securities (the “Offering”). The Offering is expected to be conducted on a “commercially reasonable efforts” basis, and there is no assurance that the Offering will be completed, or that any definitive agreements with investors will be entered into. Under the terms of the Engagement Agreement, VisionWave Technologies retains full discretion to accept or reject any investment proposals and will determine the final terms and structure of the Offering, subject to market conditions and investor interest. Maxim will be entitled to a cash placement fee equal to seven percent (7.0%) of the gross proceeds received by VisionWave Technologies from any investor introduced by Maxim. In addition, VisionWave Technologies agreed to reimburse Maxim for up to $25,000 in out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the engagement, subject to certain conditions and prior approvals.

The Engagement Agreement includes a limited right of first refusal for a period of nine (9) months following the final closing of the Offering, Maxim shall have the right to act as sole managing underwriter or sole placement agent for any subsequent public or private offerings of equity, equity-linked, or debt securities of VisionWave Technologies, subject to Maxim matching the material terms offered by any third party. VisionWave Technologies has not yet launched the Offering, and no securities have been issued as of the date of this filing.

There can be no assurance that VisionWave Technologies will consummate the Offering or receive any proceeds from it.

Nasdaq Notices

On September 13, 2024, Bannix received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq stating that, because it did not complete a Business Combination within 36 months of the effectiveness of its IPO registration statement, Bannix’s securities were subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) under Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5101-2.

The letter further stated that unless Bannix appealed Nasdaq’s determination by September 20, 2024, trading of the Bannix’s securities would be suspended at the opening of business on September 24, 2024, and a Form 25-NSE would be filed with the SEC to remove the Bannix’s securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq.

Bannix appealed Nasdaq’s determination to a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) and on December 2, 2024, the Panel granted the Bannix’s request for an exception to the Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5101-2 to allow continued listing on Nasdaq. Bannix has been was granted an extension until March 12, 2025, to complete its proposed Business Combination.

On November 19, 2024, the Bannix a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications department indicating that Bannix is not in compliance with the minimum Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) requirement of $35 million for continued listing as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MVLS Rule”). The Notice is only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no current effect on the listing or trading of the Bannix’s securities. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), Bannix had will have 180 calendar days (the “Compliance Period”) to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule. To regain compliance with the MVLS Rule, the MVLS for Bannix must be at least $35 million for a minimum of ten consecutive business days at any time during this Compliance Period. If the Bannix regained compliance with the MVLS Rule, Nasdaq would provide Bannix with written confirmation and would close the matter. If the Bannix did not regain compliance with the MVLS Rule by the Compliance Date, Nasdaq would provide written notification that its securities would be subject to delisting. In the event of such notification, the Nasdaq rules permit the Bannix an opportunity to appeal Nasdaq’s determination.

On March 13, 2025, the Bannix received a letter from the Panel notifying the Company that it would be suspended from trading on Nasdaq due to the Company’s inability to satisfy the terms outlined in the Panel’s December 2, 2024 decision. As a result, the trading in the Bannix’s securities moved to the OTC Pink at the open of trading on March 17, 2025, under the trading symbols of BNIX, BNIXR and BNIXW. As the successor to Bannix, upon the consummation of the Business Combination, VisionWave Common Stock and VisionWave Warrants began trading on July 15, 2025 on the NASDAQ under the symbols “VWAV and “VWAV” respectively and Bannix’s securities stopped trading.

Certificate of Correction to Certificate of Amendment

On February 8, 2024, Bannix filed a Certificate of Correction to its Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Correction”) filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 9, 2023 (the “Certificate of Amendment”). The Certificate of Amendment inadvertently removed the provisions relating to Bannix’s obligation to wind up and liquidate the Company and redeem the public shares if the Bannix had not consummated an initial Business Combination within the specified time. The Certificate of Correction corrects this error to the Certificate of Amendment. The corrections made by the Certificate of Correction are retroactively effective as of March 9, 2023, the original filing date of the Certificate of Amendment.

Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $885 in cash and a working capital deficit of $6,287,377.

The Company’s liquidity needs through June 30, 2025, were satisfied through (1) a capital contribution from the Sponsors of $28,750 for common stock (“Founder Shares”) and (2) loans from Former Sponsor and Sponsor and related parties in order to pay offering costs and other working capital needs. In addition, in order to fund transaction costs in connection with a possible Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, and/or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no loans associated with Working Capital Loans. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company owed $2,153,962 and $1,811,700 to the Former Sponsor, the Sponsor, related parties and affiliated related parties, respectively. See Note 6 for further disclosure of Former Sponsor, Sponsor, related parties and affiliated related party loans.

As additional sources of funding, the Company issued unsecured promissory notes to Evie Autonomous LTD (“Evie”) with a principal amount of $1,003,995 (the “Evie Autonomous Extension Notes”). The Evie Autonomous Extension Notes bear no interest and are repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, or (b) the date of the Company’s liquidation. If the Company does not consummate an initial Business Combination by the Deadline Date, the Evie Autonomous Extension Notes will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven.

On December 26, 2024 and revised on February 4, 2025, April 19, 2025 and May 25, 2025, the Company entered into several agreements to defer certain transaction costs and obligations associated with its proposed Business Combination until after the closing of the proposed Business Combination. The deferred obligations include:

On January 19, 2025, the CEO of the Company agreed to defer $110,400 of compensation expense due him. These costs would have been payable no later than three (3) months following the closing of the proposed Business Combination. On May 25, 2025, the agreement was modified such that the payable is due only after any Pre-Paid Advance issued in connection with the SEPA is repaid in full, see Note 11.

All deferred payments will be made exclusively from the working capital of the post-closing entity or funds raised following the closing. These deferments provide the Company with the financial flexibility to focus on completing the transaction while ensuring that all obligations are met within the agreed timeframes.

On April 8, 2025, with an effective date of March 31, 2025, the Company entered into a Funding Support Agreement with Stanley Hills, LLC (“Stanley Hills”), the principal shareholder of VisionWave Technologies. Pursuant to the agreement, Stanley Hills irrevocably and unconditionally committed to provide financial support to the Company, sufficient to fund the working capital needs through August 13, 2026. The funding may be provided by Stanley Hills in the form of direct payments to third parties, advances or intercompany loans, or capital contributions, as mutually determined by the parties. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, any such advances will be non-interest bearing and repayable only at such time as determined by the Board of Directors, and only to the extent such repayment would not impair the Company’s liquidity or ability to continue as a going concern. The agreement may not be terminated by Stanley Hills prior to the twelve-month period from the date of release of the financial statement.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that the funds the Company has available is sufficient to meet its operating needs through the consummation of a Business Combination through the temporarily extended Deadline Date. Over this time period, the Company will be utilizing the funds available to it to pay existing accounts payable and consummating the proposed Business Combination.

The Company is within 12 months of its mandatory liquidation date as of June 30, 2025. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations, the Company had a temporarily extended deadline date beyond the June 14, 2025 Deadline Date to consummate a Business Combination. The Company closed on its proposed Business Combination on July 14, 2025 alleviating the mandatory liquidation requirement.

On April 9, 2025, VisionWave Technologies entered into a non-exclusive placement agent engagement agreement (the “Engagement Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”), pursuant to which Maxim will act as VisionWave’s non-exclusive placement agent in connection with a potential private placement of up to $10 million of equity or equity-linked securities (the “Offering”). The Offering is expected to be conducted on a “commercially reasonable efforts” basis, and there is no assurance that the Offering will be completed, or that any definitive agreements with investors will be entered into. Under the terms of the Engagement Agreement, VisionWave retains full discretion to accept or reject any investment proposals and will determine the final terms and structure of the Offering, subject to market conditions and investor interest. Maxim will be entitled to a cash placement fee equal to seven percent (7.0%) of the gross proceeds received by VisionWave from any investor introduced by Maxim and listed in exhibit to the Engagement Agreement. In addition, VisionWave agreed to reimburse Maxim for up to $25,000 in out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the engagement, subject to certain conditions and prior approvals.

Risks and Uncertainties

In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. And in October 2023, the Hamas Terror Organization attacked the Southern part of Israel, which in turn, commenced a military action with Gaza Strip. As a result, these actions, and the possibility of escalating military actions, have created and are expected to create global economic consequences. The specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these consolidated financial statements.

Consideration of Inflation Reduction Act Excise Tax

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a 1% federal excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.

On December 27, 2022, the Treasury published Notice 2023-2, which provided clarification on some aspects of the application of the excise tax. The notice generally provides that if a publicly traded U.S. corporation completely liquidates and dissolves, distributions in such complete liquidation and other distributions by such corporation in the same taxable year in which the final distribution in complete liquidation and dissolution is made are not subject to the excise tax. Although such notice clarifies certain aspects of the excise tax, the interpretation and operation of aspects of the excise tax (including its application and operation with respect to SPACs) remain unclear and such interim operating rules are subject to change.

Because the application of this excise tax is not entirely clear, any redemption or other repurchase effected by the Company, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to this excise tax. Because any such excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holders, it could cause a reduction in the value of the Company’s Class A common stock, cash available with which to effectuate a Business Combination or cash available for distribution in a subsequent liquidation. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination will depend on a number of factors, including (i) the structure of the Business Combination, (ii) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with the Business Combination (or any other equity issuances within the same taxable year of the Business Combination) and (iv) the content of any subsequent regulations, clarifications, and other guidance issued by the Treasury. Further, the application of the excise tax in respect of distributions pursuant to a liquidation of a publicly traded U.S. corporation is uncertain and has not been addressed by the Treasury in regulations, and it is possible that the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be used to pay any excise tax owed by the Company in the event the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination in the required time and redeem 100% of the remaining Class A common stock in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, in which case the amount that would otherwise be received by the public stockholders in connection with the Company’s liquidation would be reduced.

Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any PIPE or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination, but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.

During the second quarter of 2024, the Internal Revenue Service issued final regulations with respect to the timing and payment of the excise tax. These regulations provided that the filing and payment deadline for any liability incurred during the period from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 would be October 31, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating its options with respect to this obligation. Any amount of such excise tax not paid in full, will be subject to additional interest and penalties which are currently estimated at 8% interest per annum, a 0.5% underpayment penalty per month or portion of a month up to 25% of the total liability for any amount that is unpaid from November 1, 2024 until paid in full, and a failure to file penalty of 5% per month.

As of the filing of the Form 10-Q, the Company has not filed its 2024 excise tax return and no amounts have been paid. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company is reporting $177,806 and $50,587 in excise tax interest and penalties payable on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Investment Company Act 1940

Under the current rules and regulations of the SEC we are not deemed an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act; however, on March 30, 2022, the SEC proposed new rules (the “Proposed Rules”) relating, among other matters, to the circumstances in which SPACs such as the Company could potentially be subject to the Investment Company Act and the regulations thereunder. The Proposed Rules provide a safe harbor for companies from the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, provided that a SPAC satisfies certain criteria. To comply with the duration limitation of the proposed safe harbor, a SPAC would have a limited time period to announce and complete a de-SPAC transaction. Specifically, to comply with the safe harbor, the Proposed Rules would require a company to file a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing that it has entered into an agreement with a target company for an initial Business Combination no later than 18 months after the effective date of the SPAC’s registration statement for its IPO. The Company would then be required to complete its initial Business Combination no later than 24 months after the effective date of such registration statement. There is currently uncertainty concerning the applicability of the Investment Company Act to a SPAC, including this Company. Although the Company entered into a definitive Business Combination agreement within 18 months after the effective date of the registration statement relating to the IPO, there is a risk that the Company may not complete an initial Business Combination within 24 months of such date. As a result, it is possible that a claim could be made that the Company has been operating as an unregistered investment company. If the Company were deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, the Company may be forced to abandon its efforts to complete an initial Business Combination and instead be required to liquidate. If the Company is required to liquidate, the investors would not be able to realize the benefits of owning stock in a successor operating business, including the potential appreciation in the value of our stock and warrants following such a transaction.

The Investment Company Act defines an investment company as any issuer which (i) is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities; (ii) is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of issuing face-amount certificates of the installment type, or has been engaged in such business and has any such certificate outstanding; or (iii) is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding, or trading in securities, and owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of Government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. The Company has assessed its primary line of business and the value of its investment securities as compared to the value of total assets to determine whether the Company may be deemed an investment company. The longer that the funds in the Trust Account are held in money market funds, there is a greater risk that the Company may be considered an unregistered investment company. As a result, the Company has switched all funds to cash, will likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the Trust Account after such time, which would reduce the dollar amount our public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of our Company. Currently, the funds in the Trust Account are held in a demand deposit account and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act.

Failure to meet these criteria could result in the SPAC being deemed an unregistered investment company under the Act, requiring liquidation and potentially preventing completion of the proposed transaction. Bannix completed its IPO within the SEC’s safe harbor timeline, having entered into a definitive Business Combination Agreement with VisionWave Technologies Inc. on March 26, 2024, less than 42 months after its IPO. The transaction is expected to close within the SEC’s prescribed 42-month timeline. Currently, Bannix does not hold itself out as being engaged in investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities. All funds in the Trust Account are held in demand deposit accounts that comply with Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. The funds are not invested in marketable securities to avoid the risk of being deemed an unregistered investment company. As of the date of this filing, Bannix’s Trust Account remains compliant with the safe harbor criteria outlined in SEC Release No. 33-11265. If Bannix were deemed to be an unregistered investment company under the Investment Company Act, it could be forced to abandon the Business Combination and liquidate. In such a scenario, public stockholders would lose the opportunity to benefit from potential appreciation in the value of Bannix’s stock and warrants following the Business Combination. In conclusion, Bannix is committed to ensuring compliance with the Investment Company Act and the updated SEC guidance. By adhering to the safe harbor provisions, Bannix seeks to mitigate risks associated with the potential application of the Investment Company Act.
