Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 2, 2025, iQSTEL Inc. (the “Company”)
entered into a Stock-for-Stock Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Cycurion Inc. (“Cycurion”), a Delaware
corporation trading on Nasdaq under the ticker CYCU. The Agreement finalizes the mutual equity partnership initially outlined in a non-binding
Memorandum of Understanding announced on August 7, 2025, and provides for a strategic alliance focused on AI-driven cybersecurity solutions
for the global telecommunications industry.
Under the terms of the Agreement, each party will
issue to the other common stock with an aggregate value of $1,000,000. The number of shares to be issued will be calculated by dividing
$1,000,000 by the lower of (i) the Nasdaq Official Closing Price of the issuing party’s common stock on the trading day immediately
preceding the execution of the Agreement (September 2, 2025), or (ii) the average Nasdaq Official Closing Price over the five consecutive
trading days immediately preceding September 2, 2025.
The shares will be issued in book-entry form through
the parties’ respective transfer agents, with the closing expected to occur on the third business day following the Effective Date,
but no later than 30 business days thereafter, subject to mutual agreement.
Each party intends to distribute up to 50% of the
shares received as a stock dividend to its shareholders, subject to board and regulatory approvals, including compliance with Nasdaq and
SEC requirements. The record date for the dividend distribution will be announced in a subsequent joint communication once regulatory
approvals are obtained.
The Agreement also formalizes a strategic partnership
to develop and commercialize AI-driven cybersecurity solutions, with six key pillars of collaboration: (1) cybersecurity for telecom carrier
infrastructure, (2) white-label cybersecurity services, (3) AI-driven operational optimization for Cycurion, (4) development of a next-generation
AI-powered cybersecurity platform, (5) coordinated product launches in the second half of 2025, and (6) capitalizing on the projected
$500 billion cybersecurity market by 2030. The parties will integrate iQSTEL’s AI capabilities (through its Reality Border division)
with Cycurion’s cybersecurity expertise and explore deeper collaborations, including potential joint ventures and shared research
and development.
The Agreement includes standard representations and
warranties, conditions to closing (such as board approvals and absence of legal impediments), and covenants, including compliance with
securities laws and furnishing information for Rule 144 resale eligibility. The Agreement may be terminated by mutual consent, if the
closing does not occur within 30 days, or upon material breach by either party. The Agreement is governed by New York law.
The foregoing description of the Agreement does not
purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this
Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On September 3, 2025, the Company issued a press release
announcing the execution of the Agreement with Cycurion, the planned stock exchange, the intended dividend distribution, and the strategic
AI-driven cybersecurity alliance. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated
herein by reference.
The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit
99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated
by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific
reference in such a filing.
