Insights
Cycurion adds recurring-revenue secure comms and investigations capabilities via a structured M&A deal.
Cycurion is acquiring Halo Privacy and havenX through a merger structure that adds secure communications and digital investigations to its AI-driven cybersecurity offerings. Halo generated $7 million revenue in 2025, including $5.5 million in annual recurring revenue from long-term U.S. government contracts.
Consideration mixes upfront cash and stock with multi-year installment payments of $2.0 million, $2.5 million, and $3.0 million, plus performance-based earnouts and up to $1.0 million tied to the Babylon Contract. This structure spreads cash outflows over time and links a portion of value to future performance.
Clawback rights capped at $3.0 million and the ability to offset against future payments provide downside protection if key contracts are reduced or financial results are restated. Future filings describing deal closing at the end of June 2026 and subsequent performance metrics will give more clarity on the acquisition’s contribution.

6 terms
Earnout Payments financial
"The Company Group Equityholders may be entitled to receive earnout payments based on the achievement of specified post-closing financial performance targets"
Earnout payments are additional sums the buyer of a business agrees to pay the seller later if the acquired company achieves specific performance goals, like revenue or profit targets. Think of it as a bonus paid after the sale that ties part of the purchase price to future results; for investors this changes how much risk and future cash flow the deal carries and can affect valuation, incentives and reported liabilities.
annual recurring revenue (ARR) financial
"Halo Privacy... generated $7 million in total revenue in 2025, including $5.5 million in high-quality annual recurring revenue (ARR)"
Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) is the predictable amount of money a company expects to earn in a year from its ongoing services or subscriptions. It helps businesses understand their steady income stream, much like knowing how much rent they can count on each year, which is important for planning and growth.
clawback provisions financial
"Such installment payments accrue interest... and are subject to potential reduction or offset under certain circumstances, including the application of clawback provisions"
registration rights regulatory
"Parent has agreed to file a registration statement... covering the resale of shares of Parent common stock issued as merger consideration"
Registration rights are contractual promises that let investors require a company to file paperwork with securities regulators so those investors can sell their shares to the public. They matter because they create a path to liquidity and an exit plan—without them, investors may be stuck holding shares for a long time. Think of them like a reserved ticket that guarantees access to a public marketplace when the holder is ready to sell.
lock-up restrictions regulatory
"shares of Parent common stock issued in connection with the Mergers... may also be subject to contractual lock-up restrictions for a specified period"
A lock-up restriction is a temporary rule that prevents company insiders, early investors and employees from selling their shares for a set period after a public offering. It matters to investors because it limits how many shares can enter the market immediately—like a cooling-off period after a big sale—and when the restriction ends a large increase in available shares can put downward pressure on the stock price or reveal insiders’ confidence in the company.
indemnification financial
"The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties, as well as indemnification provisions"
A contractual promise to cover losses, expenses, or legal claims that arise from specified events, such as breaches of representations or third‑party lawsuits. For investors, indemnification matters because it shifts potential financial risk and future cash outflows from one party to another, similar to a friend agreeing to pay your bill if you’re sued, and can affect deal value, expected returns, and contingent liabilities on the balance sheet.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Merger Agreement
On May 7, 2026, Cycurion, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Cycurion Merger Sub-Halo, Inc. (“Merger Sub-Halo”), Cycurion Merger Sub-havenX, Inc. (“Merger Sub-havenX”), Halo Privacy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Halo”), havenX, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“havenX”), and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, solely in its capacity as the Company Group Equityholder Representative (the “Equityholder Representative”).
The Mergers
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) Merger Sub-Halo will merge with and into Halo, with Halo surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, and (ii) Merger Sub-havenX will merge with and into havenX, with havenX surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (collectively, the “Mergers”).
At the effective time of the Mergers (the “Effective Time”), each outstanding share of capital stock of Halo and havenX (other than certain excluded shares and dissenting shares) will be automatically converted into the right to receive a portion of the consideration described below, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and subject to its conditions.
Merger Consideration
The aggregate consideration payable in connection with the Mergers (the “Aggregate Consideration”) consists of a combination of (i) cash, (ii) shares of Parent common stock, and (iii) contingent and deferred consideration payable following the Closing, in each case as determined in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. The Aggregate Consideration is subject to adjustment based on the Company Group’s cash, indebtedness, and transaction expenses at Closing, and may be further adjusted pursuant to post-closing true-up procedures and contingent payment mechanisms set forth in the Merger Agreement.
In addition to the Closing Consideration described below, the Aggregate Consideration includes the right of the former equityholders of Halo and havenX to receive certain future payments, including earnout payments, installment payments, and other contingent consideration based on the post-closing performance of the business and the achievement of specified milestones, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement.
Closing Consideration
At the closing of the Mergers (the “Closing”), Parent will pay or cause to be paid to the holders of Halo and havenX equity interests (the “Company Group Equityholders”) consideration consisting of the following:
•Closing Cash Consideration, consisting of an aggregate cash payment equal to $1.0 million, subject to customary adjustments for, among other things, the amount of cash, indebtedness, and transaction expenses of the Company Group as of the Closing, as determined in accordance with the Merger Agreement. Such amounts are subject to post-closing adjustment based on the final determination of such items in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Merger Agreement.
•Closing Stock Consideration, consisting of shares of Parent common stock having an aggregate value of $1.5 million, with the number of shares to be issued determined based on a fixed Parent stock price specified in the Merger Agreement. The shares of Parent common stock to be issued as Closing Stock Consideration will be allocated among the Company Group Equityholders in accordance with an allocation schedule delivered at Closing and will be subject to applicable securities law restrictions and other limitations set forth in the Merger Agreement.
The Closing Consideration will be paid through an exchange and paying agent in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, and payment is conditioned upon, among other things, the delivery by the Company Group Equityholders of required documentation, including letters of transmittal or surrender agreements, as applicable.
2
Post-Closing and Contingent Payments
The Merger Agreement provides for additional payments to the Company Group Equityholders, which may be payable following the Closing (collectively, the “Future Payments”). These Future Payments consist of various forms of contingent and deferred consideration and include the following:
•Earnout Payments. The Company Group Equityholders may be entitled to receive earnout payments based on the achievement of specified post-closing financial performance targets of the acquired business during defined earnout periods. The amount and timing of such earnout payments will depend on the level of performance achieved relative to agreed-upon metrics and thresholds, and such earnout payments may be payable in a combination of cash and shares of Parent common stock, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.
•Installment Payments. Parent has agreed to make fixed installment payments to the Company Group Equityholders in cash following the Closing in the amounts of $2.0 million, $2.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively, payable at specified annual intervals after the Closing. Such installment payments accrue interest at a specified rate and are subject to potential reduction or offset under certain circumstances, including the application of clawback provisions as set forth in the Merger Agreement.
•Post-Closing Stock Consideration. The Company Group Equityholders may also be entitled to receive additional shares of Parent common stock following the Closing, which will be issued in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and allocated among such holders pursuant to a closing allocation schedule. The issuance of such shares is subject to limitations, including potential caps on the number of shares issuable and compliance with applicable securities laws.
•Babylon Contract Bonus Payments. Parent has agreed to pay up to an aggregate of $1.0 million in additional cash payments upon the achievement of specified contractual milestones relating to the execution and performance of a particular material commercial agreement (referred to as the “Babylon Contract”), including amounts payable at signing and upon the occurrence of subsequent revenue-related events.
The calculation and payment of the earnout payments and other contingent consideration described above are subject to detailed provisions in the Merger Agreement. These provisions include procedures for preparation and delivery of calculation statements, review rights of the Equityholder Representative, objection and dispute mechanisms, and resolution of disputes through binding determination by an independent accounting or valuation firm acting as an expert. Such determinations are generally final and binding on the parties absent manifest error.
In addition, certain of the Future Payments, including installment payments and stock consideration, are subject to clawback and offset rights in favor of Parent under specified circumstances, including reductions in key contract revenue or financial restatements, as further described in the Merger Agreement.
Clawback Provisions
Certain post-closing payments described above are subject to clawback provisions. Parent may offset amounts otherwise payable to former equityholders if:
•specified material customer contracts are terminated or significantly reduced; or
•financial performance results are restated.
The aggregate amount subject to clawback is capped at $3.0 million. Any clawback amounts will be satisfied primarily through reductions or offsets against Future Payments otherwise payable to the Company Group Equityholders, in accordance with the procedures specified in the Merger Agreement.
Treatment of Equity Awards and Warrants
At the Effective Time, outstanding equity awards and warrants of Halo and havenX will, in general, become fully vested (as applicable), be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a portion of the merger consideration, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including satisfaction of applicable exercise prices and delivery of required documentation.
3

Cycurion Acquires Halo Privacy and Integrates HavenX, Creating a Powerful New AI-Driven Platform for Government-Grade Privacy, Secure Communications, and Active Defense
May 20, 2026
MCLEAN, Va., May 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cycurion, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYCU) (“Cycurion” or the “Company”), a leader in AI-driven cybersecurity and national security solutions with trusted relationships across the U.S. Government, numerous leading corporations, and high-profile individuals across all industries, today announced the strategic acquisition of Halo Privacy and the full integration of HavenX, which is expected to close at the end of June 2026, significantly expanding its portfolio of elite, mission-critical security capabilities. This combination unites two highly respected teams and their complementary technologies to deliver an end-to-end integrated solution for high-stakes government and private-sector clients operating in hostile digital environments.
Halo Privacy, a trusted leader in secure communications since 2015, generated $7 million in total revenue in 2025, including $5.5 million in high-quality annual recurring revenue (ARR) and strong gross margins. The company’s predictable, high-margin recurring revenue model is anchored by long-term contracts with U.S. government agencies, which represent approximately 95% of its business, along with preferred vendor status and an exceptional track record of renewals. Momentum is accelerating following the award of a multi-year, multimillion-dollar government contract entered into in March 2026.
HavenX brings world-class digital investigations, OSINT, attribution, cyber-harassment tracking, and threat actor identification expertise that complements Halo Privacy’s advanced privacy and secure communications infrastructure. Together, they create a seamless, AI-augmented platform that protects users from link analysis and data compromise while enabling proactive intelligence and decisive active defense capabilities.
“We are thrilled to welcome the Halo Privacy and HavenX teams to the Cycurion family,” said Kevin Kelly, CEO of Cycurion. “Their operational tradecraft, battle-tested expertise, and relentless focus on defeating sophisticated adversaries align perfectly with our mission. This is more than an acquisition — it’s the creation of something far more powerful: a unified platform that delivers privacy, secure communications, and active defense at the highest levels. We also see tremendous opportunity on the corporate side to expand this business, as secure communications are paramount in today’s business world when conducting sensitive operations. With AI-powered applications like Halo Link, we are bringing the same government-grade protection to investment banks, healthcare organizations, R&D-intensive enterprises, law firms, and C-suite executives who demand the highest levels of privacy and security.”
Halo Privacy’s solutions — built from an attacker’s perspective by former U.S. government field operators and communications specialists — combine commercial off-the-shelf components, military-grade cryptography, proprietary technology, and advanced operational methods to deliver total data control, managed attribution, link-breaking capabilities, and resilient private networks. These state-of-the-art capabilities have earned the enduring trust of federal law enforcement, military, and special operations communities.
With this integration, Cycurion is now accelerating its expansion into the private sector, bringing the same government-proven privacy and security technologies — enhanced by AI-powered applications including the Halo Link secure messaging app — to high-net-worth individuals, investment banks, healthcare organizations, R&D-intensive enterprises, law firms, C-suite executives, and other organizations that require the highest levels of protection.
