Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Registration Rights:

 

The holders of the public warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans or time extension funding loans are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement requiring the Company to register such securities for resale. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain piggyback registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to completion of the Merger and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not be required to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until the securities covered thereby are released from their lock-up restrictions. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

 

Legal Fees

 

The Company had a legal arrangement requiring a $25,000 retainer fee (see Note 14) and additional legal fees of $75,000 and the issuance of 2,500 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock contingent upon the successful consummation of the Merger (see Note 1). During the period ended June 30, 2026, the agreement was amended to replace the issuance of the 2,500 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock upon the Merger with a required one time payment of $80,000. The amount has been recognized as an accrual as of June 30, 2026.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, the Company may become involved in claims or other legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company records accruals for outstanding legal proceedings when it is probable a liability will be incurred, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company does not believe that there are any pending legal proceedings or other loss contingencies that will, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

IT Service Contract

 

In August 2025, the Company executed a contract with a related party for outsourced information technology management, support and development services. The contract term is the earlier of the (i) termination of the Business Combination Agreement or (ii) three (3) years from the Closing of the Merger.  Upon expiration, the agreement shall automatically renew for successive one (1) year periods unless cancelled by either party.  The contract included a provision for free services until the consummation of the Merger. Thereafter fees for services performed were fifteen (15) thousand per month and adjusted to five (5) thousand per month with the execution of additional service contracts for additional development activity. Under the 2026 agreements, the Company is committed to a monthly payment totaling sixty (60) thousand, some of which has been capitalized as software costs. See Notes 3, 8 and 14.

PIPE Subscription Agreements

 

Certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”) have agreed to make a private investment in SC Assets by purchasing shares of the SC Assets’ Class A Common Stock prior to the Business Combination (the “PIPE Shares”) in the aggregate amount of approximately $363.0 million, of which approximately $101 million will be paid in ENA Tokens (including the $60.0 million ENA Contribution) and approximately $262.0 million will be paid in cash, USDC or USDT (collectively, “Cash”) pursuant to the terms of the PIPE and related PIPE Subscription Agreements.

To the extent the issuance of the PIPE Shares to an Additional PIPE Investor would cause such Additional PIPE Investor to own more than 9.90% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock at the Closing (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”), then, the Additional PIPE Investor will receive a portion of their PIPE Shares in the form of the Company’s Class A Common Stock in an amount that would cause such Additional PIPE Investor to meet but not exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and a pre-funded warrant to purchase the remaining amount PIPE Shares (the “Pre-Funded Warrant”). The Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable at any time after the original issuance date. The Additional PIPE Subscription Agreements are in substantially the same form as the Signing PIPE Subscription Agreements.

 

In accordance with the terms of the token purchase agreements dated July 31, 2025 and September 5, 2025 (defined below), promptly after the date of the PIPE Subscription Agreements and Additional Pipe Subscription Agreements, the net Cash proceeds from the PIPE, less up to $18.5 million of transaction expenses (the “Permitted Expense Amount” and such net amount, the “Net Cash PIPE Proceeds”), will be used to purchase the Locked ENA Tokens from Ethena OpCo, which will be deposited into a custodial account (the “Custodial Account”) established by StablecoinX for the benefit of the PIPE Investors who paid for their PIPE Shares in Cash (the “Cash PIPE Investors”). The Locked ENA Tokens and the Permitted Expense Amount will be held in the Custodial Account until the earlier of (i) the closing of the Business Combination and (ii) the termination of the Business Combination Agreement and/or the PIPE Subscription Agreements.  

 

Following the Transactions, the Locked ENA Tokens and the Permitted Expense will be released from the Custodial Account and transferred to SC Assets and the Company. In the event that the Business Combination does not occur or the PIPE Subscription Agreement is terminated in accordance with their terms, Ethena will promptly unlock a portion of the Locked ENA Tokens held in the Custodial Account in an amount equal to the ENA Return Amount and the ENA Return Amount together with the Permitted Expense Amount (net of any fees and expenses related to the Custodial Account) will promptly be released on a pro rata basis, to the Cash PIPE Investors. To the extent any PIPE Investors who paid for their PIPE Shares with ENA Token had already delivered their ENA Token in accordance with the terms of the PIPE Subscription Agreement, such ENA Token would be promptly returned to such PIPE Investor. 

 

 

 

Pursuant to the PIPE Subscription Agreements and Additional PIPE Subscription Agreements, TLGY and the Company have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock into which the PIPE Shares will be converted upon consummation of the Company Merger to be registered in a registration statement.

 

The PIPE Subscription Agreements and Additional PIPE Subscription Agreements and certain of its provisions will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of the Business Combination Agreement pursuant to its terms, (ii) the mutual written consent of the parties thereto, (iii) July 21, 2026 or (iv) if any of the conditions to closing as forth therein are not satisfied or waived as of the closing date (as defined therein). 

 

Token Purchase Agreement

 

To facilitate the PIPE Subscription Agreements, SC Assets, solely in its capacity as administrative agent for the Cash PIPE Investors (as defined below) (the “Administrative Agent”) and Ethena OpCo entered into a token purchase agreement (the “Token Purchase Agreement”), in which Ethena OpCo agreed to sell the Locked ENA Token to StablecoinX, solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent, valued at a 30% discount to the fair market value of the ENA Tokens at the signing of the Token Purchase Agreement. These Locked ENA Tokens will be deposited by Ethena OpCo into the Custodial Account. The Locked ENA Tokens may not be transferred for a period of 48 months after the date of the Token Purchase Agreement, subject to earlier unlock and release from such transfer restrictions as follows: (i) 25% of the Locked ENA Token will be unlocked on the 12-month anniversary of the closing and (ii) the remaining 75% of the Locked ENA Token will be unlocked in 36 equal monthly installments thereafter.

 

Contemporaneous with the execution of the Additional PIPE Subscription Agreements and to facilitate the transactions contemplated by such agreements, SC Assets, as Administrative Agent for the Additional PIPE Investors who paid the purchase price for their PIPE Shares in Cash (the “Additional Cash PIPE Investors”) and Ethena OpCo entered into a second token purchase agreement (the “Additional Token Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Ethena OpCo agreed to sell locked ENA Tokens (the “Additional Locked ENA Tokens”) to SC Assets, solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent, valued at $0.29 per ENA token. These Additional Locked ENA Tokens will be deposited by Ethena OpCo into a separate custodial account established by the Administrative Agent with Anchorage Digital Bank N.A. for the benefit of the Additional Cash PIPE Investors. The Additional Locked ENA Tokens may not be transferred for a period of 48 months after the date of the Additional Token Purchase Agreement, subject to earlier unlock and release from such transfer restrictions as follows: (i) 25% of the Additional Locked ENA Tokens will be unlocked on the twelve (12) month anniversary of Completion (as defined in the Additional Token Purchase Agreement) and (ii) the remaining 75% of the Additional Locked ENA Tokens will be unlocked in 36 equal monthly installments thereafter.

TLGY Sponsor Support Agreement

 

The Company, TLGY, SC Assets, the TLGY Founder Shareholders and the other parties thereto, entered into a Sponsor Support Agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”), in which each TLGY Founder Shareholder agreed to exchange certain shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock issued to them in respect of their Founder Shares (the “Exchanged Founder Shares”) for shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock and the right to receive up to an aggregate of 3,000,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (the “Earnout Shares”), and to exchange any SPAC Private Placement Warrants held by such shareholder for the right to receive up to 600,000 Earnout Shares, in each case, upon the achievement of certain performance and Class A price thresholds after the closing.

 

 

 

On September 5, 2025, the Company, SC Assets TLGY, and certain holders of TLGY’s securities, entered into an amended and restated sponsor support agreement (the “Amended and Restated Sponsor Support Agreement”), which amended and restated the sponsor support agreement entered into in connection with the signing of the Business Combination Agreement, to, in light of the increased size of the PIPE, remove the earnout share mechanism and make it so that the aggregate number of Retained Shares (as defined in the Amended and Restated Sponsor Support Agreement) to be received by the holders of Founder Shares (as defined therein) and Private Placement Warrants (as defined therein) would be equal to 3% of the issued and outstanding shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock at Closing and an equal number of shares of Pubco Class B stock, to be issued to the SPAC Founder Shareholders and Private Placement Warrants.

 

The Amended and Restated Sponsor Support Agreement and certain of its provisions will terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of the Business Combination Agreement pursuant to its terms and (ii) the mutual written consent of the parties thereto.
