Insights

Dot Ai outlines non-binding equity injection and partial asset sale to recapitalize.

Dot Ai is pursuing a dual-track recapitalization: an up to $5.0 million convertible preferred stock investment and a sale of part of its operating business for about $6.0 million cash plus assumption of roughly $3.0 million liabilities.

The company states these proposed transactions are intended to strengthen its balance sheet, support continued compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements, and fund strategic initiatives. However, both letters of intent are explicitly non-binding aside from customary provisions such as exclusivity and expenses, so execution risk remains high.

The excerpt notes that completion depends on negotiating definitive agreements, satisfactory due diligence, board approval, and any required stockholder, lender, Nasdaq, and regulatory consents, as well as market conditions and maintaining the Nasdaq listing. Subsequent company filings will show whether these transactions close and on what final terms.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits Exhibits
Financial statements, pro forma financial information, and exhibit attachments filed with this report.
Convertible preferred investment size $5.0 million Up to $5.0 million proposed convertible preferred stock investment under non-binding term sheet
Operating business sale price $6.0 million Approximate cash consideration for sale of a portion of operating business
Assumed liabilities $3.0 million Buyer would assume approximately $3.0 million of related existing liabilities
Secured convertible note $500,000 Buyer to fund $500,000 secured convertible note as down payment for exclusivity
Tranche structure 3 tranches Proposed $5.0 million preferred investment funded in three tranches
convertible preferred stock financial
"an up to $5.0 million convertible preferred stock investment"
Convertible preferred stock is a special class of company shares that pays priority, usually fixed, payments to holders and can be exchanged later for a set number of common shares. It matters to investors because it combines steady income and added protection with the chance to share in a company’s upside; think of it as a hybrid between a bond that pays regularly and an option to convert into growth-oriented stock, where the conversion rules influence both potential gains and how much common shareholders’ ownership may be reduced.
letter of intent financial
"entered into a non-binding letter of intent with an investor"
A letter of intent is a document that shows an agreement in principle between parties to work towards a future deal or transaction. It outlines their intentions and key terms, acting like a roadmap before a formal contract is signed. For investors, it signals serious interest and helps clarify expectations early in the process.
strategic alternatives financial
"as a result of its review of strategic alternatives, the Company entered into two letters of intent"
Strategic alternatives are different options a company considers to improve its value or achieve its goals, such as selling the business, merging with another company, or restructuring operations. For investors, understanding these options is important because they can significantly impact the company's future direction and its stock value, often signaling potential changes or opportunities.
Nasdaq listing requirements regulatory
"intended to support continued compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements"
NASDAQ listing requirements are the financial, governance and disclosure rules a company must meet to have its shares traded on the NASDAQ stock exchange. Think of them as the standards a business must pass to join an exclusive marketplace — they affect whether a stock can be bought easily, how much public information the company must provide, and how investors judge its credibility and risk. Meeting these rules can boost liquidity and investor confidence.
secured convertible note financial
"the Buyer would fund a $500,000 secured convertible note to support working capital"
A secured convertible note is a loan to a company that is backed by specific assets (secured) and can be changed into company shares (convertible) instead of being paid back in cash. For investors this matters because it mixes lower risk—because collateral gives repayment priority if things go wrong—with potential upside through stock conversion, while also affecting future ownership and how much existing shareholders may be diluted.

LAS VEGAS, NV / June 10, 2026 / Dot Ai, Inc. (Nasdaq: DAIC) (“Dot Ai” or the “Company”), an IoT and AI-based SaaS company redefining asset intelligence for industrial technology, today announced as a result of its review of strategic alternatives the entry into two letters of intent for proposed transactions. The Company has entered into a non-binding letter of intent with an investor (the “Investor”) for an up to $5.0 million convertible preferred stock investment and a separate non-binding letter of intent for the sale of a portion of its operating business for approximately $6.0 million in cash, along with the assumption of up to $3.0 million in existing liabilities. The Investor may also provide additional funding to support potential value-creating strategic initiatives.

 

Together, if consummated on the terms described below, the proposed transactions are intended to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet, support continued compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements, and position the Company to create long-term shareholder value.

 

$5.0 Million Strategic Preferred Investment

 

Under the non-binding term sheet, the Investor would invest an aggregate of $5.0 million in convertible preferred stock, funded in three tranches, subject to definitive documentation. Proceeds are expected to be used for general working capital during the strategic transition, and the satisfaction or discharge of existing liabilities and transaction expenses.

 

As part of the proposed investment, the Investor would seek to enable strategic initiatives designed to maximize shareholder value, including by making additional capital available. The Company is expected to continue operations during the period.

 

Sale of a Portion of the Operating Business

 

Separately, the Company, through its operating subsidiaries, has entered into a non-binding letter of intent to sell a portion of its operating business - comprising designated operating assets used in the Dot Ai business - to a strategic buyer (the “Buyer”) for a purchase price of up to $6.0 million in cash, together with the assumption of approximately $3.0 million of related liabilities, subject to adjustment and definitive documentation. Importantly, the proposed transaction is structured as a sale of a portion of the Company’s operating business, with the Company retaining certain operating units within the listed entity.

 

In connection with the letter of intent and subject to execution of definitive documentation and applicable lender consents, the Buyer would fund a $500,000 secured convertible note to support working capital and transaction-related expenses as a down payment in exchange for exclusivity throughout the term of the deal.

 

 

 

 

Strategic Alternatives Process

 

The proposed transactions follow the Company’s previously announced engagement of Cohen & Company Capital Markets, a division of J.V.B. Financial Group, LLC, to serve as its exclusive financial advisor in connection with its review of strategic alternatives. The letters of intent are non-binding, other than for certain customary provisions, including relating to exclusivity, and expenses, and do not constitute binding commitments to complete the proposed transactions. Completion of the proposed transactions is subject in all respects to the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, satisfactory completion of due diligence, board approval, receipt of any required stockholder, lender, Nasdaq, and regulatory consents or approvals, market conditions, and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including maintenance of the Company’s listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. There can be no assurance that definitive agreements will be executed, that the proposed transactions will be completed on the terms described or at all, or as to the timing of any such transactions. The Company does not intend to disclose further developments unless and until it determines that additional disclosure is appropriate or required.
