Insights

Crisp Momentum exchanges a $2.9M loan for 80M shares, cleaning up its balance sheet.

Crisp Momentum Inc. originally extended a $2,900,000 convertible loan to Banji Step K.K., partly offset by acquiring TaleOn assets. Planned acquisitions of TopReels and a Carpenstream stake did not close, leaving a residual receivable and untransferred assets.

The new settlement replaces those unfinished asset transfers with the return of 80,000,000 common shares held by Banji, fully satisfying all remaining principal and interest. The company states this will eliminate the loan receivable and reduce issued and outstanding share capital, with the shares held as treasury unless retired.

The agreement includes mutual releases, termination of all related liens, customary indemnification, and closing conditions such as due diligence and no material adverse change, with an outside closing date of May 31, 2026. Actual impact will depend on successful closing under these conditions.

Loan Settlement and Share Repurchase Agreement financial
"entered into a Loan Settlement and Share Repurchase Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Banji Step K.K."
Convertible Loan Agreement financial
"that certain Convertible Loan Agreement, dated as of September 16, 2025, as amended"
A convertible loan agreement is a contract where a lender provides cash to a company as a loan but with an option to swap the loan balance for company shares instead of being repaid in cash. For investors, it matters because conversion can change ownership percentages, affect future share value and dilution, and determine whether the lender is treated like a creditor or a shareholder — like lending someone money with a ticket that can later be exchanged for part-ownership.
treasury shares financial
"The Repurchased Shares will be held by the Company as treasury shares unless the Company elects to retire such shares."
Treasury shares are a company’s own stock that it has repurchased and keeps on its books instead of canceling or leaving in the hands of outside investors. Think of them like coupons a business puts back in a drawer: they don’t vote or receive dividends while held, but they can be reissued later for employee pay or fundraising. For investors this matters because buybacks change the number of shares that count toward earnings and ownership, can boost per‑share metrics, and use corporate cash that might otherwise go to growth or dividends.
material adverse change regulatory
"subject to customary closing conditions, including due diligence and the absence of any material adverse change."
A material adverse change is a significant, unexpected deterioration in a company's financial health, operations, or future prospects that meaningfully reduces its value or ability to meet obligations. It matters to investors because it can change valuations, activate legal protections in contracts, pause or cancel transactions, and signal higher risk—like discovering a large leak in a boat that forces everyone to decide whether it’s safe to keep sailing together.
indemnification provisions financial
"The Settlement Agreement also contains customary indemnification provisions."
mutual releases regulatory
"Each party has agreed to mutual releases with respect to claims arising out of or relating to the Loan Agreement."

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 20, 2026, Crisp Momentum Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Loan Settlement and Share Repurchase Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Banji Step K.K., a Japanese company (“Banji”), and Motoko Yorozu, a Japanese citizen (the “Guarantor” and, together with Banji, the “Banji Parties”).

 

The Settlement Agreement relates to the settlement of all outstanding obligations under that certain Convertible Loan Agreement, dated as of September 16, 2025, as amended (the “Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company made a loan to Banji in the original principal amount of $2,900,000 (the “Loan”). Under the Loan Agreement, the Guarantor unconditionally guaranteed all obligations of Banji until conversion or full repayment of the Loan. The Loan Agreement was first disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 23, 2025.

 

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 20, 2025, on November 14, 2025, the Company entered into three separate purchase agreements with Banji: (i) an Asset Purchase Agreement for the TaleOn online short-form content distribution platform (the “TaleOn APA”), with a purchase price of $750,000; (ii) an Asset Purchase Agreement for the TopReels online short-form content distribution platform (the “TopReels APA”), with a purchase price of $1,750,000; and (iii) a Share Purchase Agreement for a 25% equity interest in Carpenstream Inc. (the “Carpenstream SPA”), with a purchase price of $400,000. The consideration for each of these agreements was to be satisfied by application of a setoff and credit against amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement. Of the three transactions contemplated, the TaleOn APA closed, with the Company receiving the TaleOn Assets in partial satisfaction of the Banji Parties’ obligations under the Loan Agreement. The transactions contemplated by the TopReels APA and the Carpenstream SPA did not close as originally contemplated, and the underlying assets (the TopReels Assets and the 25% equity interest in Carpenstream Inc., collectively, the “Retained Assets”) were not transferred to the Company.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, in lieu of the Banji Parties’ obligations to transfer the Retained Assets to the Company, at the closing under the Settlement Agreement, the Banji Parties will transfer to the Company 80,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Repurchased Shares”), which shares are currently held by Banji, in full satisfaction of all remaining amounts owed under the Loan Agreement, including all outstanding principal and accrued interest. The Repurchased Shares will be held by the Company as treasury shares unless the Company elects to retire such shares. The Company expects that the transactions contemplated by the Settlement Agreement will simplify its balance sheet by eliminating the outstanding loan receivable and reducing its issued and outstanding share capital.

 

Upon closing, the Company will release and discharge the Banji Parties from all obligations under the Loan Agreement, and all pledges, security interests, liens and other encumbrances granted in connection with the Loan Agreement will be terminated. Each party has agreed to mutual releases with respect to claims arising out of or relating to the Loan Agreement.

 

The consummation of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including due diligence and the absence of any material adverse change. The Settlement Agreement may be terminated by mutual written agreement or by either party if the closing conditions are not satisfied by May 31, 2026. The Settlement Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties, including representations by Banji that it owns the Repurchased Shares free and clear of encumbrances. The Settlement Agreement also contains customary indemnification provisions.

 

The foregoing description of the Settlement Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Settlement Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
