Merger Agreement

 

On March 10, 2025 the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with RABLBX Merger Sub Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”) and REalloys Inc., a Nevada corporation (“REalloys”). Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions described in the Merger Agreement, REalloys will merge with and into Merger Sub, Merger Sub will cease to exist and REalloys will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). At the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), the holders of capital stock and outstanding instruments convertible into or exercisable for capital stock of REalloys will receive shares of common and preferred stock of the Company, $0.001 par value, based on an exchange ratio formula in the Merger Agreement (the “Exchange Ratio”) or as otherwise agreed to in the Merger Agreement, which is subject to adjustment in the event the parties raise capital in excess of certain thresholds. Immediately following Closing, based upon the Exchange Ratio, pre-Closing stockholders of the Company are expected to collectively retain approximately 7.3% of the post-Close aggregate common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 (the “Company Common Stock”) and holders of REalloys capital stock and instruments convertible into or exercisable for capital stock of the REalloys will receive as merger consideration newly issued shares of Company Common Stock representing approximately 92.7% of the post-Close aggregate as common and preferred stock of the Company. Closing of the Merger is subject to various customary closing conditions including but not limited to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) declaring the registration statement effective, approval of REalloys initial listing application by Nasdaq, and stockholder approval. The Merger will be accounted for as a reverse merger with REalloys being the accounting acquiror.

 

On July 1, 2025, Blackboxstocks, Merger Sub and REalloys entered into a First Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Amendment”) in order to reflect Blackboxstocks’ intent to conduct an at-the-market offering of its common stock, pursuant to which up to 250,000 shares of Blackboxstocks common stock may be sold and issued without affecting the calculation of Company Merger Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement) to be issued in the Merger. Specifically, the Amendment provides that:

 

 

The definition of “Permitted Shelf Takedown” was added to Section 1.1 of the Merger Agreement and means “an at-the-market offering of Parent common stock under its shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-284626) which became effective on February 10, 2025, which constitutes a “Permitted Shelf Takedown” as contemplated under the terms of that certain Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement, dated January 27, 2025, by and between Parent and Five Narrow Lane LP, and the transactions contemplated thereby.”

 

The definition of “Parent Outstanding Shares” was changed in Section 1.1 of the Merger Agreement and means “ without duplication, (including, without limitation, the effects of the Split, if completed) the total number of shares of Parent Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time expressed on a fully-diluted basis, and assuming, without limitation or duplication, the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock in respect of all In the Money Parent Options, warrants or other rights or commitments to receive shares of Parent Common Stock or Parent Preferred Stock (or securities convertible or exercisable into shares of Parent Common Stock or Parent Preferred Stock other than Parent Series A Stock), whether conditional or unconditional, that are outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, (i) the total number of Parent Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the outstanding Parent Series A Stock shall not be included in the calculation of Parent Outstanding Shares, (ii) up to 250,000 shares of Parent Common Stock or such lesser number of shares actually sold and issued in the Parent’s Permitted Shelf Takedown shall not be included in the Calculation of Parent Outstanding Shares, and (iii) for purposes of calculating the Parent Outstanding Shares, the Parent Outstanding Shares shall be increased by one third (1/3) of the total Parent Financing Preferred Stock Conversion Shares rounded down to the nearest whole number.”

 

Registration Statement

 

On January 31, 2025, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 for the sale of up to $50,000,000 of securities. Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, in no event will we sell securities in a primary offering with a value exceeding more than one-third of our public float in any 12-month period so long as our public float remains below $75,000,000.

 

Legal

About Commitments Disclosures

Commitments and contingencies disclosures catalog a company's off-balance-sheet obligations and legal exposures — purchase commitments, guarantee arrangements, pending litigation, and regulatory proceedings. These items represent potential future cash outflows that may not appear as liabilities on the balance sheet until they become probable and estimable.

Key signals: litigation reserves and disclosed loss ranges quantify management's estimate of legal exposure, but unquantified "reasonably possible" losses often represent the larger risk. Watch for changes in language around pending cases — shifts from "remote" to "reasonably possible" or increases in estimated loss ranges signal deteriorating outcomes. Unconditional purchase obligations and take-or-pay contracts create fixed cost structures that reduce operational flexibility. Guarantee arrangements for subsidiaries or joint ventures can create cascading obligations. Compare the total commitment schedule against projected free cash flow to assess whether the company can meet its obligations without additional financing.
