| Item 2.01 | Completion of Acquisition or Disposal of Assets. |
On July 6, 2026, T3 Defense Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), acquired 60% of the outstanding equity capital of Project 35, an Israeli corporation (“Project 35”) on a fully diluted basis. In consideration for the 60 ordinary shares of Project 35, the Company issued 21,059,871 shares of common stock and a $1,250,000 note for the shares of Project 35. The note bears interest at the rate of 12% and matures July 5, 2027. The Company also has an obligation to invest $2,500,000 in Project 35 during the next 12 months.
Project35 is a trusted supplier to the region’s leading defense organizations, including Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), ELTA Systems, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, and Elbit Systems, as well as the Israel Ministry of Defense. Project35’s unmanned aerial platforms are field-proven and already in active operational use. Over the past three and a half years, Project 35 has focused on developing the HY-380, an autonomous, man-portable aerial interceptor designed to neutralize hostile drones within seconds of detection using a dual-sensor guidance system that combines RF and optical AI tracking. The interceptor has recently completed a series of successful initial live-fire field trials, validating its performance and accuracy for high-intensity conflict environments. Project35’s aerial platforms range from heavy-lift multirotor cargo drones and long-endurance fixed-wing VTOL aircraft for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance to high-speed, AI-guided tactical FPV systems. Complementing these is a dedicated counter-UAV suite comprising the HY-380 autonomous interceptor, radar and GNSS countermeasure systems, RF jamming and direction-finding, and cybersecure, anti-jam mesh data links. The company’s systems are built from composite materials and aerospace-grade structures, hold AS9100 aviation quality certification, and are engineered to Western supply-chain standards, including Blue UAS and NDAA compliance.
The acquisition was made pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of July 6, 2026 among the Company, Project 35 and X S.A. Security and Defense Ltd., as the seller of the shares of Project35. The above description of the Agreement and the Promissory Note are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Agreement and Promissory Note, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.51 and 4.19, respectively.
