In connection with entry into the License
Agreement (as defined below), on May 12, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), Quantum Cyber N.V. (the “Company”)
entered into that certain Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Alexander Gurevich (the “Advisor”),
pursuant to which the Company engaged Mr. Gurevich to serve as an independent advisor to the Company.
Under the terms of the Agreement, the Advisor
agrees to attend four advisory meetings per year and to devote appropriate time and attention to advising the Company on strategic transactions.
The term of the Agreement shall be twelve months from the Effective Date, provided that certain covenants of the parties relating to confidentiality,
non-solicitation, among others, shall survive the term of the Agreement. The Company may terminate the Agreement with at least ten days
prior written notice to the Advisor.
Pursuant to the Agreement, in consideration for the services rendered,
the Company has agreed to issue to the Advisor 5,000,000 restricted shares of the Company’s ordinary shares, at a price per share
of $0.40, the closing price on the date the Board of Directors approved the Agreement, as well as reimbursement for all reasonable business
travel expenses previously authorized in writing by the Company and incurred by the Advisor in connection with his duties.
The Agreement also contains customary provisions
including non-solicitation, a non-circumvention and confidentiality.
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, which is filed hereto as Exhibit
10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Intellectual Property License Agreement
On May 12, 2026, the Company entered into an Intellectual
Property License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with BP United Inc., a Delaware corporation (“BP United”),
pursuant to which BP United has granted to the Company an exclusive, sublicensable, perpetual, and fully paid-up worldwide license under
certain intellectual property owned or controlled by BP United (the “Licensed Technology”), including patents, patent applications,
trademarks, trade secrets, know-how, and other technology, to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise exploit
products and services incorporating the Licensed Technology (the “Licensed Products”). The Licensed Technology is applicable
to multiple fields of use and applications, including, without limitation, drones, cyber technology, and other applications as the Company
may determine.
The license granted under the License Agreement
is not limited to any specific field of use, application, or industry. BP United has agreed not to, and not to grant others the right
to, make, use, offer to sell, sell, import, or otherwise exploit Licensed Products or Licensed Technology during the term of the License
Agreement worldwide. The Company may grant sublicenses under the license through multiple tiers, to any of its affiliates, subsidiaries,
or third parties, at the Company’s sole discretion.
As consideration for the license and rights granted
under the License Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, the Company has agreed to pay to BP United:
(a) Five Million US Dollars ($5,000,000) in cash; and (b) 20,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Licensor Consideration
Shares”), in the form of restricted stock with a six-month lock-up period and a five percent (5%) average weighted volume restriction,
issued at a price per share equal to the closing price on the date prior to the effective date of the License Agreement. The Licensor
Consideration Shares will be issued pursuant to a securities purchase agreement between the Company and BP United in substantially the
form attached to the License Agreement, to be entered into upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in the License Agreement.
The Company’s obligation to pay the foregoing consideration is subject to certain conditions precedent, including the completion
of intellectual property due diligence to the Company’s satisfaction in its sole discretion, the filing and acceptance by the United
States Patent and Trademark Office of any corrective filings requested by the Company, the execution of the applicable securities purchase
agreements, and the continued effectiveness of an Advisory Agreement (as described below). If such conditions precedent are not satisfied
within ninety (90) days of the effective date of the License Agreement, the Company may terminate the License Agreement and the Supply
Agreement (as described below) without any obligation to pay the consideration described above.
The License Agreement is effective in perpetuity
unless earlier terminated. The Company may terminate the License Agreement at any time without cause upon thirty (30) business days’
written notice. Either party may terminate for material breach upon ninety (90) days’ written notice (subject to cure). In the event
of termination by the Company for BP United’s material breach, the Company may elect to retain all rights and licenses on a fully
paid-up, perpetual, irrevocable basis, and BP United is required to cooperate in a technology transfer.
BP United has represented and warranted, among
other things, that the Licensed Technology is not in development and is ready for commercialization as of the effective date, and that
BP United has not withheld any information material to the commercial readiness of the Licensed Technology.
The License Agreement also contains customary
representations and warranties, indemnification provisions (including IP infringement indemnification by BP United), confidentiality obligations,
patent prosecution and enforcement provisions, and intellectual property protection under Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
In connection with the License Agreement, the
Company and BP United intend to enter into a Commercial Supply Agreement (the “Supply Agreement”). Under the Supply Agreement,
BP United is the exclusive manufacturer and supplier of products incorporating the Licensed Technology (the “Products”) to
the Company. The Company has agreed to purchase its requirements of Products exclusively from BP United, except following an Inability
to Supply Event (as defined in the Supply Agreement), in which case the Company may, in its sole discretion, manufacture or have manufactured
the Products using the Licensed Technology without limitation.
The foregoing description of the License Agreement
does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the License Agreement, which is filed
hereto as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
