NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Nasdaq Deficiency

 

On May 5, 2026, the Company received a written notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) that it is not in compliance with the minimum bid requirements set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days. Based on the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock between March 23, 2026 to May 4, 2026, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market and, at this time, the common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “DFNS.”

 

The Notice provides that the Company has 180 calendar days, or until November 2, 2026, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). To regain compliance, the bid price of the Company’s common stock must have a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. If the Company does not regain compliance by November 2, 2026, the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance. In such instance, the Company must submit an application and a non-refundable $5,000 application fee, so long as the Company applies to transfer the listing of its common stock to The Nasdaq Capital Market and meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market (except for the bid price requirement) and notifies Nasdaq in writing of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period. If the Company does not qualify or fails to regain compliance, then Nasdaq will notify the Company of its determination to delist the Company’s common stock.

 

The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options, including, but not limited to, implementing a reverse stock split of its outstanding securities, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

 

Conversion of Debt

 

On April 27, 2026, the Company, and Mr. Shalom, executed and delivered the Note Exchange Agreement, pursuant to which the original principal amount of the notes issued to Mr. Shalom and accrued interest thereon in the amount of $2,138,962 was cancelled in its entirety in exchange for the issuance of 4,174,399 shares of common stock (the “Exchange Shares”). The exchange price of $0.5124 was the last consolidated bid price of a share of common stock as reported by The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. The Exchange Shares are restricted shares and may not be sold without registration or an applicable exemption therefrom.

 

The notes were assigned to Mr. Shalom from Star 26 Capital Inc. (“Star 26”) pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement and Call Option dated September 15, 2025 (the “Star Purchase Agreement”) among the Company, Star 26 and the other parties signatory thereto and pursuant to the exercise by Mr. Shalom of his right to obtain shares, notes and warrants from Esousa Group Holdings LLC (“Esousa”) in accordance with the terms of the Call Option Agreement dated January 13, 2026.

 

In connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Star Purchase Agreement on January 12, 2026, the Company issued to Star 26 a warrant to purchase a total of 12,017,648 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share (the “Star Warrant”), which was then distributed to the equity holders of Star 26 on a pro rata basis. Mr. Shalom’s pro rata amount of the Star Warrant was to purchase 7,175,662 shares of Common Stock.

 

Sale of Zorronet

 

On April 10, 2026, Water IO Ltd. (“Water IO”), an Israeli public company traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange in which Star 26 Capital Inc. (“Star 26”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, holds an approximately 67% equity interest, completed the sale of 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Zorro Net Ltd. (“Zorronet”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Water IO, to BiomX Inc. (“BiomX”) (NYSE American: PHGE), pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement.

As consideration for the Zorronet shares, BiomX issued to Water IO: (i) 1,300,000 shares of BiomX common stock; and (ii) a non-convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $1,250,000, bearing interest at the short-term applicable federal rate, maturing three months from the date of issuance. Additionally, BiomX assumed certain obligations of Water IO with respect to the founders and former shareholders of Zorronet, including a performance-based earnout payable no later than March 31, 2027 equal to the greater of 125% of Zorronet’s consolidated revenue or eight times Zorronet’s consolidated EBITDA for fiscal year 2026, and a commitment to retain certain key Zorronet personnel for three years on no less favorable terms.

 

As a result of the transaction, Water IO holds 1,300,000 shares of BiomX common stock, representing approximately 16.57% of BiomX’s issued and outstanding common stock following the issuance. The Company, through Star 26, beneficially owns approximately 67% of Water IO’s equity, and accordingly may be deemed to beneficially own such BiomX shares indirectly.

Proposed Business Combination

 

On March 31, 2026, SC II Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “SPAC”), entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) with a payments technology company (the “Target”), which outlines the general terms and conditions of a potential business combination (the “Proposed Transaction”) pursuant to which the SPAC would acquire 100% of the outstanding equity and equity equivalents of the Target. The SPAC’s sponsor, SC Capital II Sponsor LLC, , is controlled and majority owned by Nukkleus Defense Technologies Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of T3.

 

The LOI is a preliminary, non-binding expression of mutual interest and does not constitute a binding commitment, obligation or agreement of the SPAC or the Target to consummate the Proposed Transaction or any other transaction. Except for certain limited binding provisions, including, among other things, exclusivity, confidentiality, the waiver of claims against the SPAC’s trust account, and governing law, neither the SPAC nor the Target has any legal obligation to the other party with respect to the Proposed Transaction by virtue of the LOI.

Cancellation of $16,000,000 Indebtedness

 

On January 12, 2026, the Company completed the Star purchase transaction – see note 1B above. On March 31, 2026, the Company agreed on the termination of its obligation to pay $16,000,000 to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Star. Pursuant to the Cancellation Agreement, (the “Cancellation Agreement”), while all terms and provisions of the Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement, dated September 15, 2025 (the “Acquisition Agreement”) remain in full force and effect, and the Company's ownership of Star, including all assets, operations, and subsidiaries, is unaffected, the Company eliminated $16,000,000 of indebtedness, effective immediately, at no cost, no dilution, and with no offsetting obligation to the Company or its shareholders.

On March 3, 2026, the Company, obtained a copy of a summons and complaint filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York dated February 24, 2026 by Kingswood Capital Partners, LLC against Star, Nukkleus, Inc. and the Company. The complaint alleges that a success fee is due for an earned investment banking success fee arising from a transaction. The Company denies all the allegations and intends to vigorously defend such action, which it believes is without merit.

 

Private Placement

 

On February 26, 2026, T3 closed a private placement pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) for a private placement (the “Private Placement”) pursuant to which the investor (the “Purchaser”) agreed to purchase from the Company 400 units for an aggregate purchase price of $20,000,000, or a per unit price of $50,000. Each unit consists of (i) one share (each a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”) of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), and (ii) one and a half common stock purchase warrants to initially purchase up to one and a half shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, subject to adjustment as described herein (the “Common Warrants” and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or exchange of the Common Warrants, the “Warrant Shares”). The Private Placement is structured as a two stage investment. At the initial closing, which occurred on February 26, 2026, the Company sold 200 units for gross proceeds of $10 million. The Purchaser agreed to purchase an additional 200 units for an additional investment of $10 million following (i) the effectiveness of the registration statement described below, (ii) stockholder approval of the issuance of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement as required pursuant to Nasdaq rules, (iii) the stock price is at least $1.00 and (iv) subject to the condition that the value of the trading in the Company’s stock on Nasdaq for the 10 consecutive days preceding the second closing is at or above $900,000 (the “Second Closing Market Trading Value”), provided that if the Second Closing Market Trading Value is less than $900,000, then there will be a proportionate reduction in the number of units to be sold at the second closing. 

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company is required to seek stockholder approval (the “Stockholder Approval”) related to the issuance of the units to be issued in the Private Placement. The Company is required to file a preliminary proxy statement for a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders within 75 days of the initial closing of the Private Placement. The Company’s directors and officers have agreed to execute voting agreements to vote in favor of the applicable proposals. If the Company does not obtain Stockholder Approval at the first such meeting, the Company is required to call a meeting every 4 months thereafter to seek Stockholder Approval until the earlier of the date on which Stockholder Approval is obtained or the securities are no longer outstanding.

 

The Company also granted the Purchaser a right of participation in subsequent financings of the Company for a period of time following closing, subject to certain exempt issuances, and has agreed not to issue securities for a period of time following the closing of the Private Placement, subject to certain exempt issuances, including issuances pursuant to strategic transactions.

 

Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed not deliver any purchase notices under Company’s equity line of credit with the Purchaser until after the later of the date on which (i) the registration statement is declared effective and (ii) the Company obtains Stockholder Approval and even after such date, certain market conditions must be satisfied.

 

Series B Preferred Stock

 

Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations of Rights, Preferences and Limitations which was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware prior to closing of the Private Placement, each share of Series B Preferred Stock has a stated value of $50,000 (the “Stated Value”) and will initially be convertible into 23,474 shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”)), calculated by dividing the Stated Value by the initial conversion price equal to $2.13 per Share (the “Initial Conversion Price”). The Initial Conversion Price is subject to adjustment upon stock splits, distributions, reorganizations, reclassifications, change of control and the like, and is also subject to price-based anti-dilution adjustments for subsequent offerings made by the Company while the Series B Preferred Stock remains outstanding (subject to certain exempt issuances). The Initial Conversion Price will also be adjusted upon receipt of Stockholder Approval (as hereinafter defined), if obtained, to the lower of (i) the then applicable conversion price and (ii) the price per share of the Common Stock on its trading market upon the earlier of (A) effectiveness of the registration statement required to be filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined herein) or (B) upon applicability of Rule 144 as it relates to the sale of the Conversion Shares.

 

The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder at any time and will be automatically converted into Common Stock or Pre-Funded Warrants in lieu thereof on the effective date of the registration statement, whether or not the Stockholder Approval has been obtained. If at any time after the one-year anniversary of the closing of the Private Placement, the Series B Preferred Stock is then outstanding and the Company has not received Stockholder Approval, the Series B Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the holder at a price per Share equal to 105% of the Stated Value. The conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock is subject to a 9.9% beneficial ownership limitation blocker. The Series B Preferred Stock are not entitled to receive dividends, other than on an as-converted basis if dividends are paid to holders of Common Stock.

 

The holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to 10,000 votes per each share of Series B Preferred Stock. The holders of Series BPreferred Stock have voting rights with respect to certain corporate actions that affect the rights of the Series B Preferred Stockholders and also have certain consent rights in connection with certain proposed Fundamental Transactions (as defined in the Certificate of Designations). The Series B Preferred Stock is (i) senior to the Common Stock of the Company and any other equity securities that the Company may issue in the future, the terms of which specifically provide that such equity securities rank junior to the Series B Preferred Stock, (ii) equal with any class or series of capital stock established after the closing date of the Private Placement, the terms of which specifically provide that such equity securities rank on par with such Series B Preferred Stock, in each case with respect to payment of amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up and (iii) junior to all of the Company’s existing and future indebtedness. The Company has agreed not to issue any parity stock or senior securities without the written consent of a majority in interest of the Series B Preferred Stock. Upon a change of control, liquidation or winding up of the Company the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to a liquidation preference of $50,000 per Share.

Common Warrants

 

The Common Warrants are exercisable on a cash or cashless basis at the earlier of (i) 180 days following their issuance and (ii) the date the stockholder approval is obtained, and expire 5 years from the date of issuance. Each Common Warrant will be initially exercisable for one share of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $0.0125 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, distributions and the like (the “Initial Exercise Price”). The Initial Exercise Price is also subject to price-based anti-dilution adjustments for subsequent offerings made by the Company while the Common Warrants remain outstanding (subject to certain exempt issuances). At any time after the closing of the Private Placement, the holder of the Common Warrants may exchange the Common Warrants on a cashless basis for a number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the total number of Warrant Shares with respect to which the Common Warrant is then being exercised by the Black Scholes Value (as defined in the Common Warrant) divided by the lower of the two closing bid prices of the Common Stock in the two days prior the time of such exercise, but in any event not less than $0.01 (as may be adjusted for stock dividends, subdivisions, or combinations and the like). The exercise of the Common Warrants is subject to a 9.9% beneficial ownership limitation blocker.

 

In the event of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Common Warrants), the holders of the Common Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Common Warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the Common Warrants immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. Additionally, as more fully described in the Common Warrants, the holders of the Common Warrants will be entitled to receive consideration in an amount equal to the Black Scholes value of the Common Warrant in connection with a Fundamental Transaction.

 

If the Company fails to timely deliver the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Common Warrants, the Company will be subject to liquidated damages, payable in the Company’s discretion in cash or shares on the Registration Date (as defined therein) or buy-in. If the Company elects to pay in shares, the number of shares due will be based on the LD Share Formula (as defined below).

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

In connection with the Private Placement, on February 24, 2026, the Company and the Purchaser entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is required to register the resale of the Conversion Shares (and any shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants, if any) and the Warrant Shares. The Company is required to prepare and file an initial registration statement (the “Initial Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 45 days of the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Filing Deadline”) and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Initial Registration Statement declared effective within 75 days of the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Effectiveness Deadline”). In certain circumstances including, but not limited to, if the Company misses the Filing Deadline or the Effectiveness Deadline, then the Company will be required to pay to the Purchasers an amount in shares or cash, at the Company’s discretion, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of 1.5% multiplied by the aggregate purchase price paid by such Purchaser. Liquidated damages, if any, will accrue and be paid on the earlier of the effective date of a resale registration statement registering the sale of the shares that may be issued in lieu of cash or the date on which such shares can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 (the “Registration Date”). If the Company elects to pay liquidated damages in shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Purchaser will be determined by dividing the aggregate amount of accrued liquidated damages by the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the trading market of the Common Stock on the day immediately prior to the Registration Date (the “LD Share Formula”).

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company entered into a Placement Agency Agreement, dated February 24, 2026, with Dawson James Securities Inc. (the “Placement Agent”), pursuant to which the Placement Agent acted as the sole placement agent for the Private Placement. In consideration for the foregoing, the Company has agreed to pay customary placement fees to the Placement Agent, including a cash fee equal to 3.5% of the gross proceeds raised in the Private Placement and issue warrants equal to 7.5% of the securities placed in the Offering. Pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, the Company has also agreed to reimburse certain expenses of the Placement Agent incurred in connection with the Private Placement.

He could also be entitled to additional milestone-based bonuses as determined by the Board. Mr. Shalom will receive 250,000 shares of common stock quarterly, subject to availability under approved incentive plans; if there is no plan or no availability, the quarterly amount of shares shall accrue until there is availability under an approved incentive plan.
