Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 21, 2026, Apex Treasury Corporation, a blank check Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Purchaser” or “Apex”), Stepping Stone Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Purchaser (“Merger Sub”), and TECfusions, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company” or “TECfusions”), entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) that contemplates a $4.0 billion equity valuation of the Company and an all-stock combination transaction. The Company is an AI infrastructure company focused on designing, building, and leasing next-generation data centers.
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the parties thereto will enter into a business combination transaction by which, among other things, (i) the Purchaser will transfer to by way of continuation and domesticate as a Delaware corporation and (ii) Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company being the surviving entity of the Merger and becoming a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Purchaser. Upon closing of the Merger (the “Closing,” and the date on which the Closing occurs, the “Closing Date”), the Company will become a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser and the combined company will be a publicly traded company operating under the TECfusions brand. The combined company’s common stock is expected to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “TECF.”
Business Combination Agreement
The Domestication
Subject to satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions of the Business Combination Agreement (as described below), prior to or on the Closing Date , the following events will occur in connection with the Purchaser changing its jurisdiction of organization from the Cayman Islands to Delaware:
| (a) | each then issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share of the Purchaser, par value $0.0001 per share (each, a “Class B Ordinary Share”), will convert (the “Sponsor Share Conversion”) automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into one Class A ordinary share of the Purchaser, par value $0.0001 per share (each, a “Class A Ordinary Share”); | |
| (b) | immediately after the Sponsor Share Conversion, the Purchaser will transfer by way of continuation and deregistration to and domesticate as a Delaware corporation (such continuation and domestication, the “Domestication”); and | |
| (c) | in connection with, and after giving effect to, the Domestication, (i) each then issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Share will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into one share of common stock of the Purchaser, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), (ii) each then issued and outstanding warrant of the Purchaser will convert automatically into a warrant to acquire one (1) share of Common Stock (each a “Domesticated Purchaser Warrant”), and (iii) each then issued and outstanding unit of the Purchaser will be canceled and will thereafter entitle the holder thereof to one share of Common Stock and one-half of one Domesticated Purchaser Warrant in accordance with the terms of the applicable unit (provided that no fractional Domesticated Purchaser Warrants will be issued). |
1
Conversion of Securities
Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, the aggregate consideration (“Aggregate Consideration”) to be paid to the existing stockholders of the Company (the “Company Stockholders”) at the Closing is 400.0 million newly issued shares of Common Stock, equal to the $4.0 billion base purchase price divided by $10.00 per share.
At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each (i) share of common stock of the Company (each a “Company Share”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than shares owned by the Purchaser, Merger Sub or the Company (in treasury or otherwise), will be canceled and converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio, which is equal to the Aggregate Consideration divided by the Company fully diluted shares count, and (ii) each outstanding and unexercised option to purchase Company Shares, whether or not then vested or fully exercisable, will be canceled and converted into an option to purchase shares of Domesticated Purchaser Common Stock. Any Company Share subject to vesting or forfeiture provisions immediately prior to the Effective Time will continue to be subject to the same vesting and forfeiture provisions after conversion.
Registration Statement
As promptly as practicable after the date of the Business Combination Agreement and following receipt by the Purchaser of the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the period from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2025, audited in accordance with PCAOB auditing standards (the “PCAOB Financial Statements”), and any other audited or unaudited financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries required by applicable law to be included in the Registration Statement (the “Financial Statements”), the Purchaser and the Company will jointly prepare and the Purchaser will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), a registration statement on Form S-4, or other appropriate form (the “Registration Statement”), which will include a prospectus with respect to the Purchaser’s securities to be issued in connection with the Business Combination Agreement and a proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement” and, together with the Registration Statement, the combined document is referred to as the “Proxy Statement/Registration Statement”) to be distributed to the Purchaser’s shareholders in connection with the matters to be submitted to the Purchaser’s shareholders for approval.
Representations and Warranties
The Business Combination Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of (a) the Purchaser and Merger Sub and (b) the Company and its subsidiaries, in each case relating to, among other things, their ability to enter into the Business Combination Agreement, their outstanding capitalization, due organization, compliance with laws and other corporate matters. The representations and warranties of the Purchaser, the Company and Merger Sub will not survive the Closing, with the exception of fraud claims, and the Business Combination Agreement does not provide for indemnification with respect to any of the representations and warranties of the parties thereto.
Covenants
The Business Combination Agreement contains customary covenants of the parties, including, among others, covenants requiring (i) the parties to conduct their respective businesses in the ordinary course through the Closing Date, (ii) the Company and its subsidiaries to comply with certain restrictions on soliciting or engaging in discussions regarding certain alternative transactions, (iii) the Purchaser and the Company to prepare and the Purchaser to file with the SEC the Registration Statement, and (iv) the Company to deliver to the Purchaser the PCAOB Financial Statements and the Financial Statements as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of the Business Combination Agreement, and in any event, no later than September 30, 2026. The Company is required to seek approval of the Company Stockholders in the form of a written consent resolution (the “Company Stockholder Consent”) within 72 hours after the Proxy Statement/Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC and delivered or otherwise made available to the Company Stockholders. None of the covenants and agreements of the parties contained in the Business Combination Agreement will survive the Closing, except for those covenants and agreements contained therein that by their terms expressly apply in whole or in part at or after the Closing, and then only with respect to any breaches occurring at or after the Closing.
2
Governance
The Business Combination Agreement provides that, effective as of the Closing, the board of directors of the Purchaser (the “Board”) will consist of five (5) directors divided into three (3) classes of directors with staggered terms. One (1) director will be designated by the Sponsor, and will be assigned to the third class of directors, with an initial term expiring at the third annual meeting of stockholders following the Closing, and the remaining directors will each be designated by the Company prior to the Closing. The executive officers of Purchaser immediately following the Closing will be the individuals designated by the Company. If the number of directors serving on the Board is increased or decreased, the number of directors per each class will be apportioned by the Board so as to maintain the proportion of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible.
Closing; Conditions to Closing
The Closing will occur no later than the third business day following the satisfaction or waiver of all of the closing conditions, or at such other time or in such other manner as agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Company in writing.
The obligations of the parties to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (collectively, the “Transactions”) are subject to the satisfaction or waiver (where permissible) of customary closing conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, including: (i) approval of the Transactions by the shareholders of the Purchaser and the Company Stockholders; (ii) any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, will have expired or been terminated; (iii) the Proxy Statement/Registration Statement having become effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); (iv) the Purchaser’s shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Transactions will be conditionally approved for listing upon the Closing on Nasdaq subject to any requirement to have a sufficient number of round lot holders of Common Stock; (v) no governmental authority of competent jurisdiction will have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any law or governmental order that is then in effect that makes the Merger illegal or otherwise prevents or prohibits the Closing; (vi) no Purchaser Material Adverse Effect or Company Material Adverse Effect (each as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) will have occurred since the date of the Business Combination Agreement that is continuing and uncured; (vii) the Domestication will have been completed; and (viii) unless waived by the Company, there will be at least $45.0 million in Available Closing Cash (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) as of the Closing.
Termination
The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated prior to the Closing in the following circumstances:
| (a) | by mutual written consent of the Purchaser and the Company; | |
| (b) | by the Company if the Purchaser’s board of directors withdraws, amends, qualifies or modifies its recommendation to the Purchaser’s shareholders that they vote in favor of the Transactions; | |
| (c) | by either the Company or the Purchaser if the Purchaser’s shareholders do not approve the Transactions; | |
| (d) | by either the Company or the Purchaser if the Closing has not occurred by March 31, 2027 and no breach or violation of the Business Combination Agreement by the party seeking to terminate caused or resulted in the failure of the Transactions to be consummated by such time; | |
| (e) | by either the Company or the Purchaser if any governmental authority of competent jurisdiction will have issued an order or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Transactions, and such order or other action has become final and non-appealable; |
3
| (f) | by either the Company or the Purchaser, upon a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the other in the Business Combination Agreement which would result in a failure of a closing condition and such breach is not cured within 20 days following receipt of a written notice of such breach; | |
| (g) | by either the Company or the Purchaser if all of the closing conditions are satisfied or waived and the other fails to effect the Closing within five business days after the other has irrevocably confirmed in writing it is ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing; or | |
| (h) | by the Purchaser if (i) the Company fails to deliver the PCAOB Financial Statements and the Financial Statements on or before September 30, 2026 or (ii) the Company fails to obtain and deliver the Company Stockholder Consent within five (5) business days after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act. |
If the Business Combination Agreement is terminated, the Business Combination Agreement will become void and have no effect, without any liability on the part of any party thereto or its respective representatives, except that (i) certain provisions, including those relating to public announcements, confidential information, and miscellaneous matters, will survive termination, and (ii) nothing will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach or any fraud claim occurring prior to such termination.
The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Business Combination Agreement and any related agreements. The Business Combination Agreement is included to provide securityholders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Purchaser, the Company or the other parties thereto. In particular, the assertions embodied in representations and warranties by Purchaser, Merger Sub and the Company contained in the Business Combination Agreement are solely for the benefit of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating such agreement, including being qualified by confidential information in the disclosure schedules provided by the parties in connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, and are subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that may differ from those applicable to securityholders. The confidential disclosures contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. Moreover, certain representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement were used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties, rather than establishing matters as facts. Investors and securityholders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Business Combination Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of any party to the Business Combination Agreement. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Business Combination Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Purchaser’s public disclosures.
The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) and is incorporated herein by reference.
PIPE Subscription Agreement
Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Purchaser and an institutional accredited investor (the “PIPE Investor”) entered into the PIPE subscription agreement (the “PIPE Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which the Purchaser has agreed to issue, and the PIPE Investor has agreed to subscribe for, 3.5 million Purchaser Class A Ordinary Shares (the “PIPE Shares”) to be issued by the Purchaser at a price per share of $10.00, for an aggregate purchase price of $35 million (the “PIPE Investment”). The closing of the PIPE Investment is conditioned upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Business Combination.
4
Following the closing of the Business Combination, if, on the date the Initial Registration Statement (as defined below) is declared effective by the SEC (the “Measurement Date”), the Common Stock is trading on Nasdaq at a price per share which is less than $10.00 (the “Measurement Price”), the Purchaser will, at its option, either (i) remit to the PIPE Investor a cash amount equal to the product of (1) the difference between $10.00 and the greater of the Measurement Price and $5.00, multiplied by (2) the number of PIPE Shares, or (ii) issue to the PIPE Investor, for no additional consideration, a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the “Make-Whole Shares”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the cash amount that would be payable pursuant to clause (i), calculated after giving effect to the $5.00 per share floor, by (B) the actual Measurement Price, without giving effect to such floor.
The PIPE Subscription Agreement provides certain resale registration rights for the PIPE Investor. In particular, the Purchaser is required to file with the SEC, within 20 business days after the Closing Date, a registration statement covering the resale of the PIPE Shares (the “Initial Registration Statement”) and, if Make-Whole Shares are issued, to file with the SEC a registration statement within 45 business days after the issuance of such Make-Whole Shares covering such Make-Whole Shares (the “Make-Whole Registration Statement”, and together with the Initial Registration Statement, the “PIPE Registration Statements”), and, in each case, the Purchaser agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to have each PIPE Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the earlier of (i) 90 calendar days after the filing thereof if the SEC notifies the Purchaser that it will “review” the applicable PIPE Registration Statement and (ii) 10 business days after the Purchaser is notified by the SEC that the applicable PIPE Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. The Purchaser has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep each PIPE Registration Statement effective until the earliest of (i) the date on which the PIPE Shares or the Make-Whole Shares, as applicable, may be resold without volume or manner of sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (ii) the date on which such PIPE Shares or Make-Whole Shares, as applicable, have actually been sold and (iii) the second anniversary of the Closing Date. If the Purchaser fails to cause the applicable PIPE Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC within the applicable time period specified above, then the Purchaser will pay the PIPE Investor liquidated damages in an amount equal to $10,000 for each trading day during which such failure continues, beginning on the first trading day after the applicable deadline until the applicable PIPE Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC. Any amount due under the foregoing sentence will be paid by the Purchaser within five business days after the applicable PIPE Registration Statement has ultimately been declared effective.
The PIPE Subscription Agreement will terminate, and be of no further force and effect upon the earliest to occur of (a) such date and time as the Business Combination Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (b) the mutual written agreement of the parties to the PIPE Subscription Agreement to terminate such agreement, (c) if any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 of the PIPE Subscription Agreement are not satisfied or waived on or prior to the closing of the PIPE Investment and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by the PIPE Subscription Agreement are not consummated at such closing or (d) March 31, 2027.
The foregoing description of the PIPE Subscription Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the PIPE Subscription Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
Stockholder Support Agreement
On July 21, 2026, the Purchaser, the Company and the Company Stockholder party thereto entered into a Stockholder Support Agreement (the “Stockholder Support Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Company Stockholder party thereto agreed (a) to attend and vote at any meeting of the Company Stockholders (including any postponement or adjournment thereof) and execute and deliver the Company Stockholder Consent or other approval of the Company Stockholders requested by the Company, with respect to all of the (i) Company Shares held by the Company Stockholder party thereto and (ii) Company Shares of which beneficial ownership, record ownership, and/or the power to vote (including, without limitation, by proxy or power of attorney) is acquired by such Company Stockholder prior to the termination of the Stockholder Support Agreement (the “Interests”) held by the Company Stockholder party thereto (A) in favor of the approval and adoption of the Business Combination Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions, and (B) against any action, agreement or transaction or proposal that would reasonably be expected to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Merger or the other Transactions in any material respect and (b) not to transfer any of its Interests prior to the Closing, subject to certain exceptions.

The foregoing description of the Stockholder Support Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Stockholder Support Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
Sponsor Support Agreement
On July 21, 2026, Apex Treasury Sponsor LLC, the existing sponsor of the Purchaser (the “Sponsor”), the Company, the Purchaser and certain existing shareholders of the Purchaser named therein, executed a Sponsor Support Agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Sponsor and the other Purchaser shareholders party thereto agreed (a) to vote all of the Purchaser ordinary shares that they hold in favor of the Business Combination Agreement, the Transactions and any related actions, and against any other transactions or proposals intended, or that would reasonably be expected, to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Transactions in any material respect and (b) not to transfer or redeem any of the Purchaser ordinary shares held by them prior to the Closing, subject to certain exceptions.
Additionally, pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement, the Sponsor agreed to forfeit certain of its Purchaser Class B Ordinary Shares (in an aggregate amount not to exceed 3.15 million) effective as of immediately prior to (and contingent upon) the Closing. The total number of Class B Ordinary Shares to be forfeited by the Sponsor is equal to the sum of (i) 50% of the number of new shares (if any) to be issued by the combined company at the Closing as consideration or inducement payments pursuant to the terms of any non-redemption agreements or subscription agreements entered into by Purchaser in connection with the PIPE Investment or other forms of financings, plus (ii) the product of the percentage of Purchaser Class A Ordinary Shares redeemed in connection with the Transactions, multiplied by the total number of Sponsor’s remaining Purchaser Class B Ordinary Shares (after giving effect to forfeitures in the immediately preceding clause (i)); provided, however, that in no event will the aggregate number of forfeited Sponsor Class B Ordinary Shares exceed 3.15 million.
The foregoing description of the Sponsor Support Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sponsor Support Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

In certain circumstances, the Registration Rights Holders can demand underwritten offerings and will be entitled to certain customary piggyback registration rights, in each case subject to certain limitations set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.
The foregoing description of the form of Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit E to the Business Combination Agreement, filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Report, and incorporated herein by reference.
