Note 4 - Recapitalization

As outlined in Note 1, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement on April 22, 2025 which was consummated on December 8, 2025. Upon the consummation of the transactions on December 8, 2025 (the “Closing”), (i) CEP merged with and into CEP Merger Sub, pursuant to the Plan of Merger entered into by CEP Merger Sub, CEP and the Company (the “Plan of Merger”), with CEP Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity (such surviving entity, the “CEP Surviving Subsidiary,” such transaction, the “CEP Merger”), as a result of which CEP Shareholders received one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A Common Stock”) for each Class A ordinary share of CEP, par value $0.0001 per share (“CEP Class A Ordinary Shares”) held by such CEP Shareholder, and (ii) Twenty One Assets merged with and into CEP Merger Sub C, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect subsidiary of CEP (“Company Merger Sub”), with Company Merger Sub continuing as the surviving company (such surviving company, the “Company Surviving Subsidiary,” such transaction, the “Company Merger” and the Company Merger together with the CEP Merger, the “Mergers”), as a result of which the Sellers received shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (“Class B Common Stock”) in exchange for their membership interests in Twenty One Assets. Immediately following completion of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination”), CEP Surviving Subsidiary and Company Surviving Subsidiary became wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company and the Company became a publicly traded company, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement and in accordance with applicable law.

In addition, on April 22, 2025, the Company and CEP entered into subscription agreements (the “Convertible Notes Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (the “Convertible Note Investors”), who have agreed to make a private investment in the Company by purchasing 1.0% convertible senior notes due 2030 (the “Convertible Notes”) (See Note 7).

On April 22, 2025, the Company and CEP also entered into subscription agreements (the “April Equity PIPE Subscription Agreements,” and, together with the Convertible Notes Subscription Agreements, the “April PIPE Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (the “April Equity PIPE Investors” and together with the Convertible Note Investors, the “April PIPE Investors”), who have agreed to make a private investment in CEP by purchasing 20,000,000 CEP Class A Ordinary Shares (the “April Equity PIPE Shares”) for $200 million in the aggregate, which includes the value of an aggregate of 259.2396 Bitcoin (the “April In-Kind PIPE Bitcoin”) invested by certain April Equity PIPE Investors instead of cash (the “April Equity PIPE” and together with the Convertible Notes PIPE, the “April PIPE Investments”). The discrepancy from previously disclosed 347.6168 Bitcoin is due to a clerical error for an investor who had elected to subscribe in cash, not Bitcoin, at the time of signing its April Equity PIPE Subscription Agreement. At Closing, Tether contributed the difference of 88.3771 Bitcoin to the Company for a price of $7.5 million, being the subscription amount of the investor mentioned above. On June 19, 2025, CEP and the Company entered into subscription agreements (the “June Equity PIPE Subscription Agreements” and, together with the April PIPE Subscription Agreements and the Sponsor PIPE Subscription Agreement, the “PIPE Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (the “June Equity PIPE Investors,” together with the April Equity PIPE Investors and the Convertible Note Investors, the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which CEP agreed to issue, and the June Equity PIPE Investors agreed to purchase, 7,857,143 CEP Class A ordinary shares (the “June Equity PIPE Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $165 million ($21.00 per share), which includes the value of an aggregate of 132.9547 Bitcoin (the “June In-Kind PIPE Bitcoin” and together with the April In-Kind PIPE Bitcoin, the “In-Kind PIPE Bitcoin”) invested by certain June Equity PIPE Investors instead of cash (the “June Equity PIPE,” together with the April Equity PIPE, the “Equity PIPEs,” and collectively with the Convertible Notes PIPE, the “PIPE Investments”). The April Equity PIPE Investors and June Equity PIPE Investors confirmed, at the time of entering into their respective subscription agreements, the amounts, if any, that they will contribute as In-Kind PIPE Bitcoin. At the Closing, the Company issued 20,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to the April Equity PIPE Investors and 7,857,143 shares of Class A Common Stock to the June Equity PIPE Investors.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, (i) Tether purchased 4,812.220927 Bitcoin (the “Initial PIPE Bitcoin”) for an aggregate purchase price of $458.7 million (the “Initial PIPE Net Proceeds”), being equal to the aggregate gross cash proceeds of the Initial Convertible Notes PIPE and the April Equity PIPE less a holdback of $52 million, and, at Closing, Tether sold the Initial PIPE Bitcoin to the Company for an amount equal to the Initial PIPE Net Proceeds, and (ii) Tether purchased 917.47360612 Bitcoin (the “Option PIPE Bitcoin”) for an aggregate purchase price of $99.5 million (the “Option PIPE Net Proceeds”), being equal to the gross proceeds of the Option Notes less a holdback of $500,000, and, at Closing, Tether sold the Option PIPE Bitcoin to the Company at a purchase price equal to the Option PIPE Net Proceeds, in exchange for additional shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.

On June 23, 2025, Tether, the Company, SoftBank and, solely for certain limited purposes, CEP, entered into a sale and purchase agreement (the “June PIPE Bitcoin Sale and Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Tether has purchased 1,381.15799423 Bitcoin (the “June PIPE Bitcoin” and together with the Initial PIPE Bitcoin and the Option PIPE Bitcoin, the “PIPE Bitcoin”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $147.5 million (the “June PIPE Net Proceeds”) being the aggregate gross cash proceeds of the June Equity PIPE less a holdback of $3.3 million. At the closing of the Business Combination and upon the funding of the June Equity PIPE, the Company purchased from Tether the June PIPE Bitcoin for an aggregate price equal to the June PIPE Net Proceeds.

The sale of the Initial PIPE Bitcoin, the Option PIPE Bitcoin and the June PIPE Bitcoin by Tether to the Company are referred to herein as the “PIPE Bitcoin Sale.” The Company paid $713,199,992 and recorded a loss on the purchase of $61,234,873 which was recorded as a loss on sale of derivatives on the consolidated statement of operations for the period from March 7, 2025 (inception) to December 31, 2025.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Tether agreed to purchase a number of Bitcoin equal to the Additional PIPE Bitcoin, if the sum of the Initial PIPE Bitcoin and the Option PIPE Bitcoin is less than 10,500 Bitcoin. Tether purchased the Additional PIPE Bitcoin and immediately prior to Closing, Tether contributed the Additional PIPE Bitcoin to the Company at Closing (such contribution, the “Additional PIPE Bitcoin Sale”) in exchange for additional shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.

Contemporaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Tether, Bitfinex and Twenty One Assets entered into a Contribution Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”), pursuant to which, immediately prior to the Closing, Tether and Bitfinex will contribute to Twenty One Assets 24,500 Bitcoin and 7,000 Bitcoin, respectively, in exchange for an aggregate contribution of 31,500 Bitcoin (i) in the case of Tether, 208 class A common membership interests of Twenty One Assets (“Twenty One Assets Class A Interests”) and 208 class A common membership interests of Twenty One Assets (“Twenty One Assets Class B Interests”), and (ii) in the case of Bitfinex, 59 Twenty One Assets Class A Interests and 59 Twenty One Assets Class B Interests.

Concurrently with the signing of the Business Combination Agreement, (i) CEP, the Company and Cantor EP Holdings, LLC (the “Sponsor”) entered into the sponsor support agreement (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Sponsor Support Agreement, dated as of June 25, 2025, the “Sponsor Support Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other matters described below, the Company and Sponsor agreed to enter into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “Securities Exchange Agreement”) at Closing (See Note 7). At Closing, total Convertible Notes issued were $486.5 million.

The Sponsor Support Agreement also provides that, among other things, (i) the Sponsor will vote its CEP Class A Ordinary Shares, and its Class B ordinary shares of CEP, par value $0.0001 per share (“CEP Class B Ordinary Shares” and, together with the CEP Class A Ordinary Shares, the “CEP Ordinary Shares”) in favor of the adoption and approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination and each of the other proposals to be approved by CEP Shareholders at the Meeting (the “CEP Shareholder Approval Matters”), (ii) the Sponsor will vote its CEP Ordinary Shares against any alternative transactions, (iii) the Sponsor will comply with the restrictions imposed by the letter agreement, dated as of August 12, 2024, by and among CEP, the Sponsor and the then current directors and executive officers of CEP (the “Insider Letter”), including with respect to the restrictions on transfer and redemption of CEP Ordinary Shares in connection with the Business Combination, (iv) prior to the Closing, the Sponsor will amend the Insider Letter to reduce the post-Closing lock-up period applicable to the shares of Class A Common Stock received by the Sponsor in exchange for its CEP Class B Ordinary Shares (the “Founder Shares”) from 12 months to six months, and (v) subject to and conditioned upon the Closing, any loans outstanding from the Sponsor to CEP shall be repaid as follows: (a) with respect to the amended and restated promissory note, dated November 5, 2024, and effective as of August 12, 2024 (the “Sponsor Loan”), the aggregate amount owed by CEP, as set forth on the pre-Closing statement to be delivered by CEP prior to the Closing (the “CEP Pre-Closing Statement”), will be automatically converted, immediately prior to the CEP Merger, into CEP Class A Ordinary Shares at $10.00 per share, and that upon the issuance and delivery of such CEP Class A Ordinary Shares to the Sponsor, the Sponsor Loan will be deemed satisfied in full, provided, however, that the portion of the Sponsor Loan that is drawn by or on behalf of CEP to pay for any fees, costs or expenses of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or Nasdaq pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement will be repaid in cash at the Closing in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement and (b) with respect to all other loans of the Sponsor to CEP, all amounts outstanding thereunder as of the Closing, as set forth on the CEP Pre-Closing Statement, will be repaid in cash at the Closing in accordance the Business Combination Agreement.

On June 25, 2025, the Company, CEP and the Sponsor entered into the Sponsor Support Agreement Amendment, pursuant to which the Sponsor has agreed to forfeit a number of CEP Class A Ordinary Shares it receives upon conversion of its CEP Class B Ordinary Shares so that such number of CEP Class A Ordinary Shares retained by the Sponsor equals the lesser of (a) 25% of the sum of the number of Public Shares not subject to redemption in connection with the Closing and the number of CEP Class A Ordinary Shares issued in the Equity PIPE and (b) the sum of (i) 7,084,804 and (ii) 1.5% of the gross proceeds received by the Company and CEP pursuant to the April PIPE Investments, divided by $10.00.

Contemporaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Tether and SoftBank entered into a sale and purchase agreement, as amended and restated on June 23, 2025, pursuant to which, among other things, immediately following the Closing, Tether transferred to SoftBank an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, and SoftBank paid Tether consideration calculated based on a formula described thereunder.

On April 22, 2025, along with the Business Combination Agreement, Tether, Bitfinex and SoftBank entered into the Governance Term Sheet, which set out the main terms upon which the Company will prepare the Proposed Organizational Documents, which will be adopted at or prior to Closing. At Closing, Tether, Bitfinex and SoftBank entered into the Governance Agreement, which implements the terms of the Governance Term Sheet. Pursuant to the Governance Agreement, the Company issued two (2) classes of shares of common stock of the Company, with different voting and economic rights attached to them. The shares of Class A Common Stock have no voting rights other than as required by applicable law, until all shares of Class B Common Stock are canceled, whereas, holders of shares of Class B Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share. Once all shares of Class B Common Stock are canceled, holders of Class A Common Stock will acquire full voting rights. Holders of Class A Common Stock will be entitled to receive distributions in proportion to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock held by them, whereas, holders of Class B Common Stock will not have any economic rights. In addition, the shares of Class A Common Stock will be listed for trading and will be freely transferable, subject to the terms of the Lock-Up Agreements, the Insider Letter and any restrictions pursuant to applicable laws. The shares of Class B Common Stock will not be listed or freely transferable, except to Affiliates. The parties agreed to take all necessary action so that effective as of the Closing, the board of directors of the Company will consist of seven individuals, six of which are to be designated by the Sellers and SoftBank, with the final director to be the chief executive officer of the Company.

On July 26, 2025, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Business Combination Agreement, which amends the Business Combination Agreement, among other things, to provide that the Additional PIPE Bitcoin Purchase Price used to determine the value of Tether’s contribution of the Additional PIPE to the Company at the Closing and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock to be issued to Tether at the Closing in exchange for the sale of the Additional PIPE Bitcoin by Tether to the Company shall be $84,863.57, which is equal to the average Bitcoin price for the ten-day period ending April 21, 2025, the day prior to the date of the Business Combination Agreement (the “Signing Bitcoin Price”), rather than on the aggregate amount Tether paid to purchase the Additional PIPE Bitcoin.

Concurrently with the Closing, Tether, Bitfinex and SoftBank each entered into a Lock-Up Agreement with the Company, pursuant to which each Seller and SoftBank agreed that the shares of Class A Common Stock received by each Seller and the shares of Class A Common Stock transferred by Tether to SoftBank will be locked-up and subject to transfer restrictions, as described below, subject to certain exceptions.

Concurrently with the Closing, CEP, the Company, the Sponsor, each Seller and SoftBank entered into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement that amended and restated the registration rights agreement, dated as of August 12, 2024, by and between CEP and the Sponsor.

Concurrently with the Closing, the Company and Tether entered into a Services Agreement, pursuant to which Tether agreed to provide, or cause to be provided, certain services to the Company and its subsidiaries in exchange for a services fee in the amount of $30,000 per calendar quarter or such other amount as may be agreed by the parties thereto.

Each holder of shares of Class A Common Stock have no voting rights except as required by the Texas Business Organizations Code (“TBOC), until all shares of Class B Common Stock are canceled. Once all shares of Class B Common Stock are canceled, holders of Class A Common Stock will acquire full voting rights. Each holder of shares of Class B Common Stock will be entitled to one vote for each share of Class B Common Stock held of record by such holder on all matters on which stockholders are generally entitled to vote.

The price per share of Class A Common Stock is $10.00 per share for (i) Public Shareholders, (ii) the April Equity PIPE Investors, (iii) the Sponsor and its Affiliates, (iv) the directors and officers of CEP, (v) the Sellers and (vi) SoftBank, and $21.00 per share for the June Equity PIPE Investors. The value of the consideration that the Public Shareholders are each receiving in connection with the Business Combination is thus $10.00 per share.

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, CEP was treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes, and Twenty One Assets was the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Twenty One Assets issuing stock for the net assets of CEP, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of CEP were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination were those of Twenty One Assets combined with the Company.
