Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange, the Edgemode board of directors increased the number of seats on the board to three members and Niclas Adler, the chief executive officer of SAPL, was appointed to fill the vacancy. The board further approved Edgemode to enter into an employment agreement with Dr. Adler and appoint Dr. Adler as Chief Technology Officer of Edgemode (the “Adler Employment Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Adler Employment Agreement, Dr. Adler will be paid an annual base salary of $400,000 and has been issued a five-year non-qualified stock option to purchase up to 385,789,700 shares of Edgemode common stock at an exercise price of $0.005. Additionally, based on Dr. Adler’s time devoted to Edgemode, he will be entitled to receive a quarterly bonus of $150,000. These terms are based on full-time engagement and it has been agreed that Dr. Adler will have a 50% engagement for the first three months of his employment. Dr. Adler subsequently resigned from the board.
The Adler Employment Agreement may be terminated with cause at any time and, if terminated with cause, Dr. Adler would be entitled to compensation only for the period ending with the date of such termination. The Adler Employment Agreement may also be terminated by Edgemode without cause upon providing Dr. Adler with 30 days’ prior written notice. In the event of termination without cause, Edgemode would continue to pay Dr. Adler his annual base salary and any benefits for the lesser of: (i) the balance of the term of the Adler Employment Agreement or (ii) 12 months from the date of termination, together with any performance bonuses (as defined in the Adler Employment) which may have been earned as of the date of termination. Pursuant to a letter dated December 8, 2025, and a complaint filed by the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, the Company intends to seek rescission of the Share Exchange and rescind the shares of Company common stock issued to ACL pursuant to the Share Exchange and the Company has sent notice to Dr. Adler for the termination of the option to purchase common stock issued to Dr. Adler under the Employment Agreement and the termination of such agreement for “cause” as defined under the agreement. Among other material breaches, without limitation, the Company has discovered that the real property and material assets of SAPL were encumbered at the time of the closing of the Share Exchange and remain encumbered and subject to liens.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, in satisfaction of $769,989 of the accrued salary for each of Mr. Faulkner and Mr. Wajcenberg, the Company (1) agreed to issue to each of Charles Faulkner and Simon Wajcenberg shares of restricted common stock at a conversion price of $0.003 per share and (2) amended options held by each of Mr. Faulkner and Mr. Wajcenberg to (i) purchase up to shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share, as amended on March 3, 2023, which vest upon the closing of the purchase of at least $15 million of crypto mining equipment (the “2022 Options”) and (ii) purchase up to shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.04 per share, which shall vest upon the Company closing on the purchase of at least $15 million of crypto mining equipment (the “2023 Options”), to eliminate the vesting requirements of the 2022 Options and 2023 options. The 2022 Options and 2023 Options are fully vested as of February 1, 2025. As a result of the removal of the vesting conditions on the outstanding options, the Company recorded $ in stock-based compensation during the year ending December 31, 2025.
In addition, in satisfaction of $50,000 of the accrued salary for each of Mr. Faulkner and Mr. Wajcenberg, the Company amended each of Mr. Faulkner and Mr. Wajcenberg options to purchase up to: (1) shares of the Company’s common stock dated January 31, 2022, exercisable at $0.06 per share (the “January 2022 Grants”); (2) shares of the Company’s common stock dated September 12, 2022, as amended, exercisable at $0.10 per share (the “September 2022 Grants”) and (3) shares of the Company’s common stock dated March 1, 2023, exercisable at $0.04 per share (the “2023 Grants”; the January 2022 Grants, September 2022 Grants, and the March 2023 Grants; collectively the “Option Grants”), to reduce the exercise price of the Option Grants to $0.005 per share. The options were revalued on the modification date for the change in exercise price using a the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the fair value of the options under the new terms as compared to the old terms did not result in an incremental increase in fair value in excess of the salary settled.
Pursuant to the Share Exchange, Mr. Faulkner and Mr. Wajcenberg entered into amendments to their Executive Employment Agreements, to increase their base salary to $400,000 per annum and a quarterly bonus of up to $150,000 at the discretion of the Board. Additionally, the Board approved the issuance of stock option grants to purchase up to shares of common stock to each Mr. Faulkner and Mr. Wajcenberg. The common stock options have an exercise price of $0.005, are exercisable immediately, and have a term of 5 years.
On December 10, 2025, the Company issued to Mr. Faulkner and Mr. Wajcenberg each share of Series D Preferred stock in exchange for the settlement of accrued salaries of $386,000 for each of the officers. The Company determined that the shares had value in excess of the stated value in the amount of $, which the Company recorded as compensation expense to the officers.
