Joint Venture Agreement

 

On November 13, 2025, AIRO Drone entered into a Joint Venture and Operating Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with Nord Drone Group, LLC (“NDG”), a Ukrainian limited liability company, pursuant to which AIRO Drone and NDG will form AIRO Nord-Drone, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “JV”). Pursuant to the terms of the JV Agreement, the JV will develop, manufacture, and commercialize unmanned aerial systems primarily designed for delivering munitions, targeting U.S., North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”), and Ukrainian defense markets. Each of the parties will contribute operational resources and capabilities to the JV. The Company will contribute business development, sales, manufacturing, engineering, and government certification resources, as well as manufacturing facilities in the United States, while NDG will contribute intellectual property, engineering data, operational resources, and manufacturing facilities in Ukraine. In addition, the Company will reimburse NDG for reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by NDG in obtaining NATO certification required by the JV Agreement, up to a maximum amount of $50,000 within 30 days of the closing of the JV.

 

Each party to the JV will receive 50% of the limited liability company interests of the JV. The JV will be governed by a five-member board of managers, with each party appointing two directors and the acting chairman of the Company’s board of directors serving as the fifth director and chairman of the JV.

 

The consummation of the JV is subject to various closing conditions, including executing certain ancillary agreements between the parties and the JV, including intellectual property license, manufacturing, and services agreements, and obtaining any regulatory approval required under applicable law or by any governmental authority. Unless revised, the JV Agreement (as amended) will terminate and the JV will not be consummated if closing does not occur on or before September 30, 2026.

 

There can be no assurance that closing conditions under the JV Agreement will be satisfied or when or that the JV will be consummated on the terms described herein or at all. The JV involves material risks including operational challenges related to NDG’s location in Ukraine during ongoing military conflict, complex export control and sanctions compliance requirements, and potential regulatory scrutiny regarding foreign defense partnerships.

 

Litigation

 

The Company is not a party to any material legal proceedings and is not aware of any pending or threatened claims. From time to time, the Company may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. Legal contingencies are subject to significant uncertainties and, therefore, determining the likelihood of a loss or the measurement of a loss can be complex. The Company will accrue losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable.
