Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Instinct Bio Technical Company Holdings Inc. reports completion of its business combination with Relativity Acquisition Corp. and Instinct Bio Technical Company Inc., valuing the target at US$225,000,000, payable in Pubco ordinary shares priced at US$10.00 each.

All BIOT shares were exchanged for Pubco shares, each Relativity share became one Pubco ordinary share, and Relativity warrants were assumed as Pubco warrants. The combined company is named Instinct Bio Technical Company Holdings Inc., with its ordinary shares and warrants listed on Nasdaq under “BIOT” and “BIOTW”. As of July 23, 2026, 28,794,472 ordinary shares were outstanding, out of authorized capital of 5,000,000,000 shares.

Pro forma as of November 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents were US$131,905, total indebtedness US$807,106, and total equity (US$1,517,783). A term sheet with Chardan contemplates a standing equity facility of up to US$150.0 million, subject to definitive agreements and an effective resale registration statement. Major holders include CEO Tomoki Nagano with 36.21% of the ordinary shares.

Negative

Filing Explained

The fee settlement transferred existing shares without dilution; any future facility share sales remain uncommitted and conditional.

Instinct Bio Technical Company Holdings uses this Form 20-F as an annual report and reports that a US$5.25 million advisory fee was settled through Tomoki Nagano’s transfer of existing BIOT shares, which became 1,615,385 Pubco shares held by Chardan; the company says no additional Pubco shares were issued.

That settlement moves ownership from one holder to another rather than increasing the total share count, so it does not itself dilute other holders under the filing’s disclosed mechanics.

A July 24 term sheet describes a three-year equity facility of up to US$150.0 million; potential purchases would be subject to definitive agreements, an effective resale registration statement, FINRA’s no-objection letter, daily limits and a 4.0% discount to the daily volume-weighted average price, or 5% for off-market hours.

If the company sells shares under that facility, the share count would increase and existing holders’ percentage ownership would decrease, but the filing states that definitive documents may not be executed, the registration may not become effective, and no shares may be sold.

The facility’s actual effect therefore remains unresolved until those conditions are met and the company reports any sales under the ChEF.

Business Combination Agreement regulatory
"entered into a business combination agreement... (the “Business Combination Agreement”)"
A business combination agreement is a detailed contract that lays out the terms for two companies to join together—covering price, how ownership will be split, the steps needed to close the deal, and what each side promises to do or avoid before closing. For investors it matters because the agreement determines potential changes in value, control, timing, and risk exposure—think of it like the playbook for a merger that shows who wins, who pays, and what could still derail the plan.

standing equity facility financial
"entered into a term sheet with Chardan for a standing equity facility of up to US$150.0 million"
audit committee financial expert regulatory
"Lim qualifies as the “audit committee financial expert” under Nasdaq listing standards"
A person on a company’s board who has deep knowledge of accounting, financial reporting and auditing, able to understand and question the books, controls and audit work like a trained mechanic inspecting an engine. Investors care because that expertise helps spot errors, weaknesses or misleading statements early, improving the likelihood that financial reports are accurate and reducing the risk of surprises that can hurt a company’s value.
foreign private issuer regulatory
"Since we are a “foreign private issuer,” we are exempt from certain rules"
A foreign private issuer is a company organized outside the United States that meets tests showing it is primarily foreign-controlled and therefore qualifies for a different set of U.S. reporting rules. For investors, that means the company files less frequent or differently formatted disclosures with U.S. regulators and may follow home-country accounting and governance practices, so buying its stock is like dining at a well-reviewed restaurant that follows its home kitchen’s rules instead of the local menu — you get access but should check what standards apply.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

On February 28, 2025, Instinct Bio Technical Company Holdings Inc.(formerly known as Relativity Holdings Inc., a Cayman Islands company) (“Pubco”), Relativity Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Relativity”) entered into a business combination agreement (as amended and restated on October 22, 2025 and as may be further amended, restated or supplemented from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Relativity, Relativity Purchaser Merger Sub II Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “Merger Sub”), Instinct Bio Technical Company Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Target Company” or “BIOT”) and its shareholders (collectively, the “Sellers”, each a “Seller”), Tomoki Nagano (“Founder”), Relativity Acquisition Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, in the capacity as the representative from and after the Effective Time (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) for the stockholders of Pubco (other than the Sellers) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (the “Purchaser Representative”), and Tomoki Nagano in the capacity as the representative from and after the date of the Business Combination Agreement for the Sellers in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement (the “Seller Representative”) (all of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, including the issuances of securities thereunder, the “Business Combination”).

 

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (a) Merger Sub merged with and into Relativity, with Relativity surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “Merger”), and (b) each Seller contributed all of its ownership interests in BIOT to Pubco in exchange for aggregate consideration in the amount of $225,000,000, to be paid in ordinary shares, par value $0.00001 per share, of Pubco (“Pubco Ordinary Share”) valued at $10.00 per share. Except as otherwise indicated or where the context otherwise requires, references in this Shell Company Report on Form 20-F (including any information incorporated by reference herein, the “Report”) to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” “Combined Company,” or “Pubco” refer to Instinct Bio Technical Company Holdings Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company, and its consolidated subsidiaries following the consummation of the Business Combination.

 

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination on July 23, 2026, and pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement:

 

  · All issued and outstanding shares of BIOT were cancelled and exchanged for the right to receive Pubco Ordinary Shares representing the Equity Consideration (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement). The aggregate consideration payable in connection with the Business Combination was US$225,000,000, payable at Closing in the form of newly issued Pubco Ordinary Shares, valued at US$10.00 per share, with a par value of US$0.00001 per share (the “Merger Consideration Shares”). The Merger Consideration Shares were allocated among the shareholders of BIOT on a pro rata basis, with each BIOT shareholder receiving the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares determined in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement;
  · Each share of Relativity common stock, par value US$0.0001 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Business Combination (other than any redeemed shares) was automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Pubco Ordinary Share (other than Relativity stockholders who exercised their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination);
  · Each Relativity warrant to purchase shares of Relativity common stock that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Business Combination was automatically assumed by Pubco and converted into a warrant to purchase one (1) Pubco Ordinary Share, on substantially the same terms and conditions as applied to such Relativity warrant immediately prior to the Business Combination;
  · The name of the Pubco was changed to “Instinct Bio Technical Company Holdings Inc.”
  · Immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, Mr. Tomoki Nagano transferred to Chardan Capital Markets LLC (“Chardan”) a number of ordinary shares of BIOT that, upon the Closing, were converted into 1,615,385 freely-tradeable Pubco Ordinary Shares, pursuant to the Settlement Agreement. Because the shares were transferred to Chardan from Mr. Nagano’s existing holdings, they did not involve the issuance of any additional Pubco Ordinary Shares;

 

The Business Combination was consummated on July 23, 2026. The transaction was unanimously approved by Relativity’s Board of Directors and was approved at the extraordinary general meeting of Relativity’s shareholders held on March 25, 2026, or the “Extraordinary General Meeting”. Relativity’s shareholders also voted to approve all other proposals presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting. On July 24, 2026, the Combined Company’s Ordinary Shares are listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, or “NASDAQ”, under the symbols “BIOT” and “BIOTW,” respectively.

On July 24, 2026, the Company entered into a term sheet with Chardan for a standing equity facility of up to US$150.0 million (the “ChEF”) that would provide the Company with the means to raise financing at market pricing over a three-year period.  Upon the execution of definitive documents and the filing and effectiveness of a registration statement permitting the resale of the Pubco Ordinary Shares and Chardan’s receipt of a no-objection letter from FINRA, the ChEF would enable the Company, subject to a daily purchase limit and certain other conditions, to require Chardan to purchase its Pubco Ordinary Shares at the day’s volume-weighted average price, reducted by a four percent (4.0%) discount (increased to 5% in off-market hours). The Company would view the ChEF as one of several potential sources of capital, to be drawn on only as and when the Company determines it appropriate. There can be no assurance that definitive documentation will be executed, that the registration statement will be declared effective, or that the Company will sell any shares under the ChEF.

ITEM 7. MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

A.Major Shareholders.

 

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of Ordinary Shares as of July 23, 2026 by:

 

  · each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of Ordinary Shares;
  · each of our directors and executive officers; and
  · all our directors and executive officers as a group.

 

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if that person possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities that the person has a right to acquire within 60 days including, without limitation, through the exercise of any option, warrant or other right or the conversion of any other security. Such securities, however, are deemed to be outstanding only for the purpose of computing the percentage beneficial ownership of that person but are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage beneficial ownership of any other person. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities.

 

The calculations of the percentage of beneficial ownership are based on 28,794,472 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, as of July 23, 2026.

 

Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by them.

Item 16G. Corporate Governance.

 

As a Cayman Islands company listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we are subject to Nasdaq Stock Market corporate governance listing standards. However, the Nasdaq Stock Market rules permit a foreign private issuer like us to follow the corporate governance practices of its home country. Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, which is our home country, may differ significantly from Nasdaq Stock Market corporate governance listing standards. Shareholders of Cayman Islands exempted companies like us have no general rights under Cayman Islands law to inspect corporate records or to obtain copies of register of members of these companies (other than the memorandum and articles of association, special resolutions, and the register of mortgages and charges). Our directors have discretion under our articles of association to determine whether or not, and under what conditions, our corporate records may be inspected by our shareholders, but are not obliged to make them available to our shareholders. This may make it more difficult for a shareholder to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder motion or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest.

 

Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, which is our home country, differ significantly from requirements for companies incorporated in other jurisdictions such as the United States. To the extent we choose to follow home country practice with respect to corporate governance matters, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would under rules and regulations applicable to U.S. domestic issuers.

A copy of the policy is attached as Exhibit 11.2 to this Report.

 

Our board of directors has also adopted an executive officer compensation clawback policy required by the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5608, the form of which is attached as Exhibit 11.3 to this Report.

Item 16K. Cybersecurity

We have also integrated cybersecurity risk management into our overall risk management system. We do not engage any third parties in connection with the processes for assessing, identifying, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats.

Governance

 

Our board of directors is responsible for overseeing our cybersecurity risk management. Our board of directors shall review, approve and maintain oversight of the disclosure (i) on Form 6-K for material cybersecurity incidents (if any) and (ii) related to cybersecurity matters in the periodic reports (including annual report on Form 20-F) of our Company.

 

At management level, our Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for assessing, identifying and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats to our Company and monitoring the prevention, detection, mitigation and remediation of material cybersecurity incident.
