Note 21—Subsequent Events 

 

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date of the filing of this report. The Company did not identify any subsequent events, other than disclosed in the Notes and discussed below, that would have required adjustment or disclosure in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Asset Purchase Agreement

 

On January 5, 2026, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Adrian Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Adrian Holdings S.R.L., a Costa Rican company (the “Seller”). Pursuant to the Adrian Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire from the Seller, and the Seller agreed to sell, transfer, convey and assign to the Company, all right, title and interest in and to certain intellectual property assets related to the technology known as QuantumSpeed (the “Assigned IP”), as more fully described in the Agreement.

 

In consideration for the Assigned IP, the Company agreed to pay the Seller aggregate consideration consisting of (i) 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Purchase Shares”), and (ii) a promissory note in the principal amount of $10,000,000 (the “Adrian Note”). At closing (the “Closing Date”), the Company will issue and deliver to the Seller 3,000,000 Purchase Shares (the “Closing Shares”) and execute and deliver the Note.

 

The issuance of the remaining 7,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Contingent Shares”) is subject to approval by the Company’s shareholders as required under applicable Nasdaq listing rules. The Company has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such shareholder approval (the “Shareholder Approval”) as soon as practicable following the Closing, including by including a proposal for such approval in its next annual or special meeting of shareholders (but excluding any special meeting to be held on or about February 2026), and in no event later than nine (9) months after the Closing Date. If Shareholder Approval is not obtained within nine (9) months after the Closing Date, then (i) the Company shall promptly cause sixty percent (60%) of the equity interests in QuantumSpeed Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company to which the acquired intellectual property assets will have been assigned, to be transferred to the Seller (or its designee) free and clear of all encumbrances (other than restrictions under applicable securities laws), (ii) the Seller’s security interest in such equity interests shall be automatically released, and (iii) the Seller shall retain full ownership of the 3,000,000 shares of common stock previously issued at Closing and the Note, without any obligation to return, cancel, or forfeit the same. For the avoidance of doubt, in such event, no alternative consideration will be provided in lieu of the Contingent Shares.

 

An independent third-party valuator assessed the QuantumSpeed intellectual property at approximately $99.6 million as of December 31, 2025, based on certain assumptions regarding future development success, market adoption, and discount rates. This valuation is not a guarantee of realizable value and is subject to significant risks, including potential impairment if development milestones are not met. The Company’s Board was provided also with a fairness opinion by an independent consultant for the structure and the value of the transaction.

 

The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions for a transaction of this nature.

 

Board Appointments

 

On January 2, 2026, the Company appointed Mansour Khatib and Shmaya D.

Mr. Khatib and Mr. Ollech each qualify as independent directors under the applicable rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

In connection with their appointments, the Company entered into independent director engagement agreements (each, an “Independent Director Agreement”) with Mr. Khatib and Mr. Ollech, which set forth the terms of their service and compensation consistent with the Company’s independent director compensation policy adopted by the Board on July 29, 2025.

The Option is subject to twelve equal quarterly vesting installments over four years, commencing on the date of shareholder approval of the Plan (the “Approval Date”), and is otherwise subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Employee Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement entered into between the Company and Mr. Klinger. The grant of the Option is expressly contingent upon shareholder approval of the Plan; if the Plan is not approved by shareholders, the Option will be null and void.

 

Strategic Joint Venture Agreement

 

On January 9, 2026, the Company entered into a Strategic Joint Venture Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with BOCA JOM, LLC (“BOCA”), GBT Tokenize Corp. (“TOKENIZE”), and GBT Technologies, Inc. (“GBT”).

 

Pursuant to the JV Agreement, the parties agreed to form a joint venture limited liability company in the State of Nevada (the “JV LLC”) for the purpose of developing, commercializing, and managing designated electronic design automation (EDA), defense, and high-security technology projects (the “Designated Projects”).

 

Equity interests in the JV LLC were determined using an internal reference value of $1.0 billion solely to facilitate negotiation of ownership percentages. This internal value is not a statement of the JV’s actual fair market value and was reached without the benefit of an independent third-party valuation or fairness opinion. Accordingly, stockholders and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this figure as an indication of the value of the JV, its assets, or the Company’s interest therein for securities law purposes or otherwise. Ownership of the JV LLC is expected to be allocated among the parties as set forth in the Agreement and related exhibits.

 

The contributions are as follows:

 

TOKENIZE will contribute 897,102 shares of the Company’s common stock and its intellectual property portfolio.

 

GBT will contribute 2,020,500 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

BOCA will contribute the Designated Projects.

 

BOCA and the Company will each enter into non-exclusive license agreements granting the JV LLC rights to use certain background intellectual property solely for the Designated Projects.

 

All contributions of Company securities are subject to compliance with applicable securities laws and Nasdaq Listing Rules, including obtaining shareholder approval if required under Nasdaq Rule 5635.

 

Governance

 

The JV LLC will be governed by a three-member board, with governance and deadlock resolution mechanisms to be set forth in a separate operating agreement. TOKENIZE and GBT will not participate in management or governance of the JV LLC.

 

The Agreement provides that the Company may appoint a director to BOCA’s board. Any appointment of a BOCA designee to the Company’s board would be subject to approval by the Company’s independent directors, compliance with Nasdaq rules, and, if applicable, shareholder approval.

 

Intellectual Property

 

Intellectual property developed by the JV LLC (“Foreground IP”) will be owned by the JV LLC. Each party retains ownership of its independently developed intellectual property. License rights terminate upon termination of the Agreement, subject to limited survival for existing customer obligations.

 

The Agreement has an initial term of seven years and includes customary termination rights, including termination if required regulatory approvals (such as CFIUS or export control approvals) are denied. If no Designated Project generates revenue within twelve months following formation of the JV LLC, the Agreement may be terminated and contributed consideration returned, subject to board-level fiduciary determinations.
