asset purchase agreement financial
"entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with Jabanero"
An asset purchase agreement is a legal contract in which a buyer agrees to buy specific assets and contracts of a business rather than buying the company’s stock or ownership. It matters to investors because it determines exactly what is being bought and what liabilities stay behind — like buying the furniture and equipment from a store but not the building or past debts — which affects the deal’s value, taxes and future risk exposure.
right of first refusal regulatory
"provides the Company with a right of first refusal, for a period of seven years"
A right of first refusal gives an existing shareholder or party the chance to buy an asset or shares before the owner can sell them to someone else. Think of it like being offered the first option to buy a house when the owner decides to sell; it matters to investors because it can limit who can acquire a stake, slow or block transactions, and affect the price and liquidity of an investment by restricting open-market sales or new buyers.
foreign private issuer regulatory
"REPORT OF FOREIGN PRIVATE ISSUER PURSUANT TO RULE 13a-16"
A foreign private issuer is a company organized outside the United States that meets tests showing it is primarily foreign-controlled and therefore qualifies for a different set of U.S. reporting rules. For investors, that means the company files less frequent or differently formatted disclosures with U.S. regulators and may follow home-country accounting and governance practices, so buying its stock is like dining at a well-reviewed restaurant that follows its home kitchen’s rules instead of the local menu — you get access but should check what standards apply.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
Purchased Assets financial
"collectively, the “Purchased Assets”"
EU/UK Marks regulatory
"Seller’s trademarks and trademark applications registered in the European Union or the United Kingdom (the “EU/UK Marks”)"

The Company agreed to pay (i) $16,500,000 at the execution of the Agreement; (ii) $4,950,000 within five (5) business days following the completion of the transfer and assignment of all the domain name(s) as set forth in the schedules to the Agreement; (iii) $4,950,000 within five (5) business days after the Company has been recorded as the registered owner of all the U.S. trademark registrations and any pending applications as set forth in schedules to the Agreement in the records of the United States Patent and Trademark Office; and (iv) $6,600,000 within five (5) business days following the completion of the transfer and assignment of all other Purchased Assets to the Company and the Company’s written confirmation that such transfers have been completed in accordance with the Agreement.

 

The Agreement contains customary representations and warranties made by each of Seller and the Company. The Transaction was closed on August 5, 2026, upon satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions as set forth in the Agreement.
