Insights

Equity & Governance Analyst

HUMBL unwinds a deal, restructures leadership, and issues large equity grants.

HUMBL’s settlement with Ybyrá Capital materially reshapes its prior FinCapital transaction. Ybyrá cancelled its right to receive $20,000,000 in HUMBL common stock for FinCapital, while HUMBL agreed to monthly payments of $10,000 in cash and $5,000 in common stock to retain FinCapital equity interests only until December 31, 2025, when they revert to Ybyrá. HUMBL is also terminating its relationship and option to purchase membership interests in Multicortex, LLC.

The settlement includes a mutual release of claims and the transfer of HUMBL Series A and Series D Preferred Shares from Ybyrá back to Brian Foote via cancellation of a promissory note. As part of the resolution, Thiago Moura resigned as officer and director and is to receive 850,000,000 common shares, while new CEO Gregory Hopkins receives a 250,000,000-share grant under his Employment Agreement. These stock grants significantly increase issued equity in absolute terms, though the filing does not state overall shares outstanding, so the relative dilution cannot be assessed from this excerpt alone.

Governance-wise, HUMBL accepted Mr. Moura’s resignation as President and CEO and appointed Mr. Hopkins, who has prior senior roles at Energy Solutions and Utaz Investments. The company notes no disclosable arrangements, family relationships, or related-party transactions involving Mr. Hopkins. Future filings may clarify how the strategic shift away from FinCapital and Multicortex, along with substantial equity compensation, affects HUMBL’s capital structure and business direction.
