[8-K] JanOne Inc. Common Stock (NV) Reports Material Event

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

ALT5 Sigma Corporation (NASDAQ: ALTS) filed an 8-K announcing the May 9 2025 acquisition of “Mswipe,” a Canada-based provider of multi-currency, fiat- and crypto-enabled payment card solutions available on Visa and Mastercard networks.

• Strategic rationale: Mswipe’s B2B platform extends ALT5’s existing digital-asset settlement offering by adding globally usable physical & virtual cards, real-time FX/crypto conversion and robust compliance.
• Consideration: (i) 1 million restricted ALTS shares valued at $6.10 each (~$6.1 M); (ii) 500 k four-year warrants exercisable at $5.50; (iii) $4.8 M in shares of spin-off Alyea Therapeutics; (iv) two 14-month promissory notes totalling ~$1 M at 3.99% interest; and (v) assumption/reset of an existing $5.1 M target-level note.
• Contingent payout: Sellers may receive a one-time earn-out of up to $20 M (cash or stock) if the operating subsidiaries reach ≥$15 M annualised or actual revenue.
• Audited FY25/FY24 Mswipe financials (Ex. 99.1) and unaudited pro-forma combined statements (Ex. 99.2) were filed; a press release (Ex. 99.3) was issued on May 13 2025.

No immediate revenue or EPS guidance was provided. The transaction is expected to close seamlessly as ALT5 integrates card issuance, aiming to bridge digital assets with traditional payment rails.

Positive

• Strategic fit: Adds globally accepted crypto-to-fiat cards, expanding ALT5’s addressable market.
• Low cash outlay: Majority of consideration in stock and warrants preserves cash.
• Earn-out structure: Aligns seller incentives with future revenue performance.

Negative

• Share dilution: 1 M new shares plus 0.5 M warrants (~6% potential increase in float).
• Contingent liability: Up to $20 M earn-out could strain capital if triggered.
• Additional debt: Assumed and issued notes add ≈$6.1 M principal at 3.99%.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR Acquisition broadens ALTS’s payment stack but adds dilution and contingent liabilities; net impact depends on Mswipe’s revenue realisation.

The structure mixes equity (≈$6.1 M shares + 0.5 M warrants) and modest debt, limiting upfront cash burn. However, potential $20 M earn-out could become material if revenue milestones are met, pressuring future liquidity. Assuming ALTS’s ~25 M share float, new shares/warrants imply ~6% potential dilution. Strategically, card issuance enhances stickiness and cross-sell, positioning ALTS against larger crypto-to-fiat processors like Wirex and Coinbase Card. Lack of historical Mswipe revenue/profit data clouds accretion analysis; investors should scrutinise Ex. 99.1/99.2 for margin impact. Overall, the deal is impactful but valuation risk remains.

Industry Specialist – Payments

TL;DR Adding Visa/Mastercard cards gives ALT5 instant global acceptance and regulatory cover, a major competitive upgrade in crypto payments.

Mswipe’s dual-network BIN sponsorship and compliance stack are hard to replicate quickly; this shortens ALT5’s go-to-market by years. The B2B focus lets ALT5 white-label cards for exchanges, neobanks and fintechs, diversifying revenue beyond trading fees. Real-time forex/crypto swap functionality aligns with rising demand for borderless treasury solutions. Integration risk is moderate because both firms operate API-driven architectures. Key watch-item: maintaining card programme risk thresholds amid volatile crypto cycles. If earn-out targets are met, ALT5’s top line could lift ≥$15 M, material versus its small-cap base.

Mswipe

On May 13, 2025, ALT5 Sigma Corporation (the “Company” or “ALT5”) disclosed in Note 20 to its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements filed in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the "10-Q") that, effective on May 9, 2025, ALT5 and its indirect, wholly-owned second tier Canadian subsidiary entered into an agreement to purchase all of the outstanding capital stock of an entity that, through its subsidiaries, offers multi-currency, fiat- and crypto-enabled payment card services. The business trades under the name Mswipe. Through a suite of physical and virtual cards that are available on both the Visa® and Mastercard® networks, the acquired operations enable users seamlessly to spend traditional and digital currencies across the globe. The acquired platform is built with robust compliance frameworks, advanced security protocols, and real-time exchange capabilities, which allow for fast, secure, and borderless transactions. This is a B2B solution, which, when combined with our current solutions, bridges the gap between the crypto economy and traditional financial systems—while ensuring regulatory alignment, interoperability with existing payment networks, and a seamless user experience for institutional partners and their end-users.

The purchase price for this transaction consisted of our (i) issuing one million restricted shares of our common stock to the three sellers, valued at the Historical NOCP on May 9, 2025 of $6.10, (ii) granting five hundred thousand four-year common stock warrants to the three sellers, with a per-share exercise price of $5.50 (which was the approximate market price at the time that we reached an agreement in principal for this transaction), (iii) issuing shares to two of the sellers in “Alyea Therapeutics Corporation,” our biotech business that we are in process of separating from our core business, which shares we valued at $4.8 million, and (iv) issuing two 14-month straight promissory notes in the aggregate initial principal balance of approximately one million dollars with an interest rate at the AFR for quarterly compounded notes of 3.99% per annum and all principal and interest due at the maturity date. We also are acknowledging an equivalent 14-month term straight promissory note at the acquired company level that pre-dated our acquisition. The principal balance as of May 9, 2025 was approximately $5.1 million and the interest was reset to match that of the two notes that we issued. We also granted the sellers the right to one earn-out payment in the amount of $20 million (payable in cash or unregistered shares of our common stock) right if the Operating Subsidiaries generate a minimum of $15 million in annualized or actual total revenue from the assets owned by the Operating subsidiaries at May 9, 2025. Please see Exhibit 10.120 for the specific calculation modalities of the earn-out payments. None of the shares of our common stock, the shares underlying the common stock purchase warrants, and the shares of common stock of Alyea has any registration or equivalent rights.

The foregoing brief summary description of certain terms and provisions of (i) the purchase of the business that trades under the name Mswipe and the related covenant against competition do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Securities Purchase Agreement by and among ALT5 Sigma Corporation, ALT 5 Sigma, Inc., and the selling parties and related interest holders signatory thereto, in respect of the “Mswipe transaction”, dated May 9, 2025, and the form of Covenant Against Competition Agreement, a copy of each of which was filed as an exhibit to the 10-Q and is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.120 and Exhibit 10.125, respectively, (ii) the forms of Common Stock Purchase Warrant, granted May 9, 2025 in connection with the Mwsipe transaction, a copy of each of which was filed as an exhibit to the 10-Q and are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.122, 10.123, and 10.124; and (iii) the forms of the 14-month Straight Promissory Notes issued in connection with the “Mswipe transaction”, dated May 9, 2025, a copy of each of which was filed as an exhibit to the 10-Q and are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.121 and 10.126.
