NOTE 19 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Tokenized Yield Partnership Agreement

Overview

On September 8, 2025, the Company entered into a Tokenized Yield Partnership Agreement (the “Token Agreement”) with Monetary Metals & Co. (“MM”), a Delaware corporation, establishing an exclusive, multi-year strategic partnership to design, launch, and distribute blockchain-based financial products that tokenize the yield generated from MM’s precious-metal lease and bond programs. The Token Agreement commenced on September 8, 2025 and continues for an initial term of three years, subject to automatic one-year renewal periods unless terminated in accordance with its terms.

For additional information regarding the gold assets held by Streamex Ltd. and the related variable interest entity disclosures, see Note 10 — Other Assets — Gold and Note 12 — Streamex Ltd. (VIE), respectively.

Exclusivity and Performance Conditions

For at least three years, MM agreed not to engage with any other party to tokenize the yield or other financial attributes of its precious-metal lease or bond products, and the Company agreed not to partner with any third party to tokenize yield derived from precious-metal leases, in each case subject to specified volume-based performance conditions. To maintain exclusivity, the Company must supply at least 10% of the total leased ounces presented by MM each quarter that meet defined criteria, including minimum insurance standards, a net yield of at least 3% per annum after origination fees, and compliance with restrictions on counterparties and jurisdictions. Failure to meet these thresholds, after a 90-day cure period, results in loss of exclusivity but does not obligate the Company to commit capital or continue participation.

Consulting Services Agreement

On February 4, 2026, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with an independent third party to provide advisory and capital-markets-related services in connection with the Company’s GLDY Token program. The agreement has an initial term of six months and provides for a fixed consulting fee of $4,000, as well as potential transaction-based fees contingent upon the completion of specified activities during the term. The fixed consulting fee was paid in full during the six months ended June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, the unamortized portion of the consulting fee was $773, which is included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and is being recognized ratably over the contractual service period. No transaction-based fees were earned or payable during the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Litigation

We may be subject at times to other legal proceedings and claims, which arise in the ordinary course of our business. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, the Company believes that the final disposition of such matters should not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

In November 2025, a former advisor filed a Notice of Civil Claim in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary Streamex Exchange Corporation, and certain current officers and directors. The claim alleges, among other things, breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and civil conspiracy in connection with alleged agreements relating to equity interests in Streamex Exchange Corporation prior to the Company’s acquisition of that entity. The plaintiff seeks, among other relief, specific performance, equitable compensation, and damages.

The Company disputes the claims and intends to defend the matter vigorously. As of June 30, 2026, no liability has been recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements related to this matter, as management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes that a loss is not probable. The matter is in a preliminary stage and, as a result, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with this matter at this time.
