Digital Assets

In June 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an entity affiliated with ATW Partners (“ATW”) and an entity affiliated with DWF Labs (“DWF”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell for $50 million, senior secured convertible exchangeable notes issued by the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $55.6 million, (the “June 2025 Convertible Exchangeable Notes”), which were both (a) convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock and (b) exchangeable into the utility tokens and key medium of exchange on the Fetch.ai network (“FET”) (see Note 11). In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into the following agreements: (a) a master netting agreement (the “Master Netting Agreement”); (b) a security and pledge agreement (with such agreement being entered into by the Treasury Subsidiary and acknowledged by the Company) (“Security and Pledge Agreement”); and (c) a backstop agreement (the “Backstop Agreement”).

In October 2025, due to a decrease in FET price, the collateral value was less than 150% of the Backstop Amount (as defined in the Backstop Agreement), and on October 10, 2025, the Company received, pursuant to the Security and Pledge Agreement, a "Top Off" notice from ATW related to the decrease in collateral value. In accordance with the terms of the Master Netting Agreement, ATW proceeded to sell the Company's tokens and then a portion of the collateral tokens until it had generated approximately $18.9 million. This amount satisfied the $22.2 million principal

and accrued interest of the June 2025 Convertible Exchangeable notes held by ATW as of September 30, 2025. An unsecured Remainder Note (as defined in the Master Netting Agreement) in the amount of $3.0 million was issued to ATW to account for the reduction in principal amount as a result of the Netting provisions.

 

In connection with the decrease in FET price, an event of default occurred under the June 2025 Convertible Exchangeable Notes held by DWF. On December 9, 2025, the Company entered into a Final Netting Agreement (the “Final Netting Agreement”) with DWF and the entity affiliated with FET (“FET Entity”), pursuant to which DWF accelerated its June 2025 Convertible Exchangeable Notes in the amount of $33.3 million, triggered a Liquidation Event (as defined in the Master Netting Agreement) and conducted Liquidation Netting (as defined in the Master Netting Agreement), in accordance with the terms of the Master Netting Agreement.

Pursuant to the Final Netting Agreement, the Company caused the Custodian (as defined in the Master Netting Agreement) to deliver to DWF 82,972,910 Tokens securing the June 2025 Convertible Exchangeable Notes held by DWF. In addition, the Company issued to DWF a Remainder Note in the amount of $4.5 million as payment in full of the remaining principal amount as a result of the Final Netting Agreement.

About Goodwill & Intangibles Disclosures

Goodwill and intangible asset disclosures reveal the premium paid in acquisitions and how management assesses whether that premium retains its value. Since goodwill is no longer amortized under US GAAP, the annual impairment test is the only mechanism that adjusts carrying values downward — making the assumptions behind that test critically important for investors.

Key signals: a history of goodwill impairments suggests management consistently overpays for acquisitions. Watch the gap between reporting unit fair value and carrying amount — when fair value exceeds carrying amount by less than 10-20%, a small decline in business performance could trigger a write-down. For finite-lived intangibles, examine useful life assumptions across customer relationships, technology, and trade names; aggressive estimates inflate near-term earnings. Compare total intangibles-to-total-assets ratios against peers to assess acquisition dependency. Rising goodwill as a percentage of equity can signal balance sheet fragility.
