On November 21, 2025, the Company elected to subscribe to 47,500,000 warrants to be issued by Transchem Ltd., an Indian company listed on BSE Ltd., pursuant to a preferential allotment approved by Transchem’s board of directors on November 21, 2025, and subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals (the “Investment”). The purchase price for the warrants is approximately $10 million. The warrants may be exercised by the Company for shares in Transchem’s common stock within 18 months of issuance in one or more tranches. The Investment includes an option for the Company to subscribe for additional warrants. Transchem has informed the Company that it has identified a potential acquisition target in India engaged in stock broking and registered with the Securities and Exchange Board of India as both a stockbroker and a depository participant.
Subject to the completion of definitive agreements, shareholder and regulatory approvals, and other customary closing conditions, the Company expects to provide additional updates in due course on the structure of the Investment, any potential corporate name change or rebranding, and expected changes to management and governance.
