Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Merger Agreement

 

On October 7, 2026, Digital Asset Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“DAAQ” or “Parent”), entered into a merger agreement with Titan Strategics Holdings Ltd, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Titan” or the “Company”) (as it may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”). Capitalized terms used in this Current Report on Form 8-K but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Merger Agreement.

 

Titan Strategics AS, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, holds exploration permits for the Billingen Project, comprising an aggregate license area of approximately 207 km2 in the Billingen-Falbygden region of Sweden, and carries on the business of holding and maintaining such permits and conducting exploration activities thereunder.

 

The board of directors of DAAQ has unanimously approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination (as defined below) and resolved to recommend approval of the Merger Agreement and related matters to DAAQ’s shareholders. Following the date of the Merger Agreement and prior to the Domestication (as defined below), Parent shall incorporate a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), to be incorporated for the sole purpose of effectuating the Merger (as defined below). Following the incorporation of Merger Sub, Parent shall cause Merger Sub to enter into a joinder to the Merger Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, DAAQ shall de-register from the Cayman Islands by way of continuation out of the Cayman Islands and into the State of Delaware and domesticate as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”), and concurrently with the Domestication, DAAQ shall change its name to “Renaissance Nuclear, Inc.” On the Closing Date (as defined below), (i) Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as the surviving company (as defined in the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands) (the “Surviving Company”) and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent as a result of the Merger; and (ii) upon the effectiveness of the Merger, the Surviving Company will change its name to a name to be mutually agreed by the parties prior to the Closing.

 

The Domestication and Merger

 

In accordance with the Merger Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth therein, on the day that is at least one business day prior to the Effective Time (as defined below), DAAQ shall effectuate the Domestication. Immediately prior to the Domestication, each Parent Class B Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Domestication shall be automatically converted into one Parent Class A Ordinary Share and there shall be no Parent Class B Ordinary Shares outstanding thereafter.

 

In connection with the Domestication, DAAQ will (i) file a certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware substantially in the form attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto (the “Parent Certificate of Incorporation”) and incorporated by reference herein, whereby Parent shall have one class of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Parent Common Shares”); and (ii) adopt bylaws substantially in the form attached as Exhibit 3.2 hereto (the “Parent Bylaws”) and incorporated by reference herein, in each case, with such changes as may be agreed in writing by Parent and the Company.

 

In connection with the Domestication, (i) each then issued and outstanding Parent Class A Ordinary Share shall convert automatically into one Parent Common Share, (ii) each whole Parent Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised shall convert automatically into a warrant to acquire one Parent Common Share pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement (each, a “Domesticated Parent Warrant”), (iii) each then issued and outstanding Parent Unit shall separate and convert automatically into one Parent Class A Ordinary Share and one-half of one redeemable Parent Warrant and each such Parent Class A Ordinary Share and each such whole Parent Warrant shall convert automatically into one Parent Common Share and one Domesticated Parent Warrant, respectively, and all Parent Units shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, (iv) Parent’s name will be “Renaissance Nuclear, Inc.” and (v) the governing documents of Parent will become the Parent Certificate of Incorporation and the Parent Bylaws.

 

1

 

 

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at least one business day following the Domestication, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company after which the Company will be the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

 

The Merger shall become effective upon the time of registration of the plan of merger with respect to the Merger (the “Plan of Merger”) by the Cayman Registrar or at such later time as is agreed to by the parties and specified in the Plan of Merger (the time at which the Merger becomes effective is herein referred to as the “Effective Time”). The Domestication, the Merger, and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are collectively referred to herein as the “Business Combination,” the consummation of the Merger is referred to as the “Closing” and the date of the Closing is referred to as the “Closing Date.”

  

Merger Consideration and Structure

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, DAAQ has agreed to acquire all of the equity interests of the Company for the sum of $250,000,000 (the “Base Purchase Price”), comprising 25,000,000 Parent Common Shares (calculated as the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the Base Purchase Price, by (b) $10.00) (the “Aggregate Merger Consideration”).

 

Effect of the Merger

 

Each Company Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Excluded Shares and any Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive a number of Parent Common Shares equal to the Conversion Ratio. Such conversion shall be effected pursuant to the Plan of Merger by means of the cancellation of such Company Ordinary Shares in exchange for the right to receive the Aggregate Merger Consideration. All of the Company Ordinary Shares converted into the right to receive the Aggregate Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger Agreement shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist at the Effective Time.

 

“Company Ordinary Shares” means the ordinary shares of a par value of $0.0001 per share, of the Company.

 

“Conversion Ratio” means the quotient obtained by dividing (a) 25,000,000 (i.e., the number of Parent Common Shares constituting the Aggregate Merger Consideration), by (b) the number of shares constituting the Aggregate Fully Diluted Company Ordinary Shares.

 

“Aggregate Fully Diluted Company Ordinary Shares” means the sum, without duplication, of (a) all Company Ordinary Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time; plus (b) the aggregate number of Company Ordinary Shares issuable upon full conversion, exercise or exchange of any other securities of the Company or any other member of the Company Group outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Company Ordinary Shares.

   

Conversion of Merger Sub Ordinary Shares

 

At the Effective Time, each Merger Sub Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one (1) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable ordinary share of the Surviving Company registered in the name of Parent. Such conversion shall be effected pursuant to the Plan of Merger.

 

Post-Closing Board of Directors and Executive Officers

 

Prior to the Effective Time, the parties shall mutually agree on the composition of Parent’s Board of Directors and Parent’s officers as of immediately following the Effective Time. At least a majority of the Board of Directors shall qualify as independent directors under Nasdaq or another national stock exchange rules, as applicable.

Representations, Warranties and Covenants

 

The parties to the Merger Agreement have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including, among other things, covenants with respect to the conduct of the Company and DAAQ and their respective subsidiaries prior to the Closing, including the Company’s covenant to provide to Parent no later than ninety (90) days following the date of the Merger Agreement with (a) the audited financial statements of the Company for the period from inception through a date to be mutually agreed by the parties and (b) the audited financial statements of Titan Strategics AS and its subsidiaries for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, for inclusion in the registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by DAAQ and the Company in connection with the Business Combination (the “Registration Statement”), and Parent and the Company shall jointly prepare and file with the SEC, mutually acceptable proxy materials which shall be included in the Registration Statement.

 

During the period commencing on the date of execution of the Merger Agreement and until the earlier of the Closing Date and the termination of the Merger Agreement, DAAQ shall not, without Titan’s prior written consent, amend, modify, supplement or waive any material provision of any PIPE Subscription Agreement or the PIPE Financing or enter into any other documents or agreements in connection therewith other than the PIPE Subscription Agreement as in effect on the date thereof.

  (i) by mutual written agreement of Parent and the Company;

3

 

 

  (iii) by either Parent or the Company if the Business Combination is prohibited or made illegal by a final, non-appealable governmental order or law and the failure to comply with any provision of the Merger Agreement by the party seeking to terminate the Merger Agreement is not a substantial cause of, or has not substantially resulted in, such order or law;

  (v) by Parent, if the Company, (a) at any time prior to the Closing, has breached any of its covenants, agreements, representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement except that, if such breach is curable by the Company through the exercise of its reasonable best efforts, then, for a period of up to 30 days after receipt of a notice from DAAQ, of such breach, but only as long as the Company continues to use its reasonable best efforts to cure such breach, such termination shall not be effective, and such termination shall become effective only if it is not cured within such 30-day period or (b) at any time after the Company Shareholder Written Consent Deadline if the Company has not delivered the Company Shareholder Approval to Parent (provided, that upon the Company delivering the Company Shareholder Approval to Parent, Parent shall no longer have any right to terminate the Merger Agreement); or

If the Merger Agreement is terminated, it will become void and have no further force or effect without liability of any party, except for liability resulting from a party’s willful and material breach or common law fraud.

Parent agreed to register the Referral Fee Shares on materially the same terms as the Registration Rights Agreement, dated April 28, 2025, by and among Parent, the Sponsor and the other holders party thereto.

Important Information About the Business Combination and Where to Find It

 

The Business Combination will be submitted to shareholders of DAAQ for their consideration. DAAQ and Titan intend to jointly file a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which will include a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus (a “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”). A definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus will be mailed to DAAQ’s shareholders as of a record date to be established for voting on the Business Combination and other proposals. DAAQ may also file other relevant documents regarding the Business Combination with the SEC. DAAQ’s shareholders and other interested persons are advised to read, once available, the preliminary Proxy Statement/Prospectus and any amendments thereto and, once available, the definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus, in connection with DAAQ’s solicitation of proxies for its extraordinary meeting of shareholders to be held to approve, among other things, the Business Combination, because these documents will contain important information about DAAQ, Titan and the Business Combination. Shareholders may also obtain a copy of the preliminary or definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus, once available, as well as other documents filed with the SEC regarding the Business Combination and other documents filed with the SEC by DAAQ, without charge, at the SEC’s website located at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to: DAAQ’s principal executive offices at 174 Nassau Street, Suite 2100, Princeton, New Jersey 08542.

Information about (i) the directors and executive officers of DAAQ is set forth in the DAAQ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the SEC on March 3, 2026, and (ii) a description of the interests of the directors and executive officers of DAAQ and Titan, and the Business Combination, will be contained in the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus when available, which documents can be obtained free of charge from the sources indicated above.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

The disclosure herein includes certain statements that are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook,” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward looking. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, (1) statements regarding estimates and forecasts of other financial, performance and operational metrics and projections of market opportunity; (2) references with respect to the anticipated benefits of the proposed Business Combination and the projected future financial performance of Titan following the proposed Business Combination; (3) changes in the market for Titan’s expansion plans and opportunities; (4) the sources and uses of cash in connection with the proposed Business Combination; (5) the anticipated capitalization and enterprise value of DAAQ following the consummation of the proposed Business Combination; (6) current and future potential commercial and customer relationships; (7) the ability to operate efficiently at scale; (8) anticipated investments in capital resources and research and development, and the effect of these investments; (9) the amount of redemption requests made by DAAQ’s public shareholders; (10) the ability of DAAQ to issue equity or equity-linked securities in the future; (11) the failure to achieve the minimum cash at closing requirements; (12) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of the combined company’s common stock on Nasdaq following the proposed Business Combination, including but not limited to redemptions exceeding anticipated levels or the failure to meet Nasdaq’s initial listing standards in connection with the consummation of the proposed Business Combination; (13) the availability and funding of the PIPE Financing, including the risk that any PIPE Investor may fail to satisfy its obligations; and (14) expectations related to the terms and timing of the proposed Business Combination. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Form 8-K, and on the current expectations of DAAQ’s and Titan’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of DAAQ and Titan. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, as set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in DAAQ’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the SEC on March 3, 2026, and/or will be contained in the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus when available, and in those other documents that DAAQ and Titan has filed, or will file, with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties above are not exhaustive, and there may be additional risks that neither DAAQ nor Titan presently know or that DAAQ and Titan currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward looking statements reflect DAAQ’s and Titan’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. DAAQ and Titan anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause DAAQ’s and Titan’s assessments to change. However, while DAAQ and Titan may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, DAAQ and Titan specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing DAAQ’s and Titan’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this release. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
