The issuance of 41,000,000 shares was considered as being part of the reorganization of the Company and was retroactively applied as if the transaction occurred at the beginning of the period presented.

Public Warrants

Pursuant to BWAQ’s initial public offering on February 2, 2022, BWAQ sold 9,200,000 units (the “Public Units”). Each Public Unit consists of one ordinary share (“Public Share”), one half of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”) and one right (“Public Right”). Each whole Public Warrant entitled the holder to purchase one ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. Each Public Right entitles the holder to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one ordinary share upon consummation of the business combination.

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will expire five years from the consummation of a business combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Public Warrants became exercisable after the consummation of the Business Combination between the Company and BWAQ on July 1, 2024. No Public Warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to such ordinary shares. The Company may call the warrants for redemption, in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant:

If the Company call the warrants for redemption as described above, its management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the whole warrants for that number of ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants.

As the Public Warrants meet the criteria for equity classification under ASC 480 and ASC 815, therefore, the warrants are classified as equity. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had 4,600,000 Public Warrants outstanding.

Private Warrants

Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering of BWAQ, BWAQ also sold 424,480 Private Placement Units in a private placement. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one ordinary share (“private placement share”), one half of one redeemable warrant (“Private Warrant”) and one right (“Private Right”). Each whole Private Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share. Each Private Right entitles the holder to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one ordinary share upon consummation of the business combination.

The Private Placement Units are identical to the Public Units being sold in the initial public offering of BWAQ except that Private Placement Units will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of the business combination and will be entitled to registration rights.

As the Private Warrants meet the criteria for equity classification under ASC 480 and ASC 815, therefore, the warrants are classified as equity. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had 212,240 Private Warrants outstanding.

Each whole Public Warrant entitled the holder to purchase one ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. Each Other Right entitles the holder to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one ordinary share immediately upon consummation of the business combination.

The Other Units are identical to the Private Units. As the Other Warrants meet the criteria for equity classification under ASC 480 and ASC 815, therefore, the warrants are classified as equity. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had 157,767 Other Warrants outstanding.
