Rhea-AI Filing Summary

BiomX Inc. entered into a Share Purchase and Option Agreement with Mayers Ventures LLC to acquire 324,573 MEA shares, representing 10% of M.E.A. Testing Systems Ltd. and its affiliated Indian company. As consideration, BiomX will pay $50,000 and issue 1,300,000 restricted BiomX common shares, with closing subject to NYSE American approval of a supplemental listing application and execution of an exclusive, perpetual worldwide license to the MEA Companies’ technology, including drone testing solutions.

BiomX also received an exclusive option, exercisable through June 30, 2028, to acquire approximately 78.9% additional MEA equity from Motomova Inc. The option price will equal either 2× net revenue or 4× EBITDA of the MEA Companies for the year ending December 31, 2027, multiplied by the percentage acquired, payable in cash, BiomX stock, or both on a cash-free, debt-free basis. Until the option expires, Mayers agreed to non-solicitation covenants restricting competing sale proposals for MEA.

Filing Explained

If closing conditions are met, BiomX would issue 1,300,000 restricted shares, reducing existing holders’ percentage ownership while acquiring 10% of MEA.

BiomX reports signing an agreement to acquire 10% of MEA and to issue $50,000 plus 1,300,000 restricted common shares as consideration. The purchase and share issuance remain subject to NYSE American approval and execution of an exclusive license from the MEA companies.

The shares are unregistered securities issued in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation S. If issued, they would increase the total share count and reduce existing holders’ percentage ownership under the supplied dilution definition. The disclosed 1,300,000 shares can be viewed alongside 1,593,516 shares outstanding as of February 3, 2026, without implying that the issuance has occurred.

Separately, BiomX received an exclusive option—not an acquired ownership interest—to purchase approximately 78.9% more of MEA. That option remains subject to due diligence and other closing conditions and can be exercised through June 30, 2028; its exercise price would be based on MEA’s 2027 net revenue or EBITDA and could be paid in cash, stock, or both.

Share Purchase and Option Agreement financial
"entered into a Share Purchase and Option Agreement (the “SPA”)"
restricted securities regulatory
"The shares will be issued without registration ... as restricted securities."
Restricted securities are shares or other investment instruments that come with legal or contractual limits on when and how they can be sold, like stock given to founders or bought in a private offering. Think of them as assets in a locked box that can’t be freely traded until certain conditions — such as a waiting period, company registration, or specific approvals — are met. For investors this matters because restricted securities are less liquid and can affect timing, price, and perceived value when they eventually enter the market.
Regulation S regulatory
"in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Regulation S thereunder"
Regulation S is a set of rules that allows companies to sell securities (like shares or bonds) to investors outside the United States without having to follow all U.S. securities laws. It matters because it makes it easier for companies to raise money from international investors while still complying with U.S. regulations.
EBITDA financial
"four (4) times the EBITDA of the MEA Companies for the fiscal year"
EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. It measures a company's profitability by focusing on the money it makes from its core operations, ignoring expenses like taxes and accounting adjustments. Investors use EBITDA to compare how well different companies are performing financially, as it provides a clearer picture of operational success without the influence of financial structure or accounting choices.
cash-free, debt-free basis financial
"the Option Shares are to be delivered on a cash-free, debt-free basis."
A cash-free, debt-free basis is a way of pricing a business where the sale excludes the company’s cash balances and outstanding debt, so the buyer pays only for the operating assets and liabilities that run the business. Think of it like buying a shop’s shelves and stock but not its cash in the register or its loans; this clarity matters to investors because it shows the true purchase price, makes deal comparisons fair, and clarifies what financing or adjustments are needed after the sale.
Option Exercise Date financial
"exercisable through June 30, 2028 (the “Option Exercise Date”)"

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On August 5, 2026, BiomX Inc., a Delaware corporation (“BiomX” or the “Company”)  entered into a Share Purchase and Option Agreement (the “SPA”) with Mayers Ventures LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Mayers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase 324,573 shares of M.E.A. Testing Systems Ltd., an Israeli company (“MEA”), representing 10% of the issued and outstanding equity interests, on a fully diluted basis, of MEA (the “Purchased Shares”). Motomova Inc., a Delaware corporation whose shares are quoted on the over-the-counter market (OTC) under the symbol MTMV, holds the majority of the issued and outstanding equity interest in MEA and Mayers holds approximately 76% of the issued and outstanding shares of MTMV. The acquisition also includes 10% of MEA’s affiliated company in India, to the extent that company is not a subsidiary of MEA (together with MEA, the “MEA Companies”).

 

As consideration for the Purchased Shares and for delivering the transaction package described in the SPA, in connection with the sale, the Company will pay to Mayers $50,000 and issue to Mayers 1,300,000 restricted BiomX shares of common stock (the “Consideration Shares”), provided, that the closing of the purchase of the Purchased Shares is subject to the approval by the NYSE American of a supplemental listing application and the execution and delivery by the MEA Companies of a license agreement granting BiomX an exclusive, perpetual worldwide, transferrable license to the technology and knowhow of the MEA Companies (including MEA’s drone testing solutions).

 

MEA is a developer of advanced electric motor testing and validation systems. The acquisition is intended to strengthen BiomX’s ability to support increasingly integrated defense systems by adding access to specialized expertise in one of the most critical components of unmanned aerial platforms, electric propulsion.

 

In addition, under the SPA BiomX was granted an exclusive option (the “Option”), exercisable through June 30, 2028 (the “Option Exercise Date”) to purchase all of Motomova’s remaining holdings in MEA and MEA India, representing approximately 78.9% of the total issued share capital following the Closing. The exercise of Option by BiomX is expressly subject to due diligence on MEA and its business and prospects (as determined by the Company in its sole discretion) along with other customary closing conditions. If exercised, the purchase price for the Option would be based on one of the two following bases, as determined by BiomX in its sole discretion, on an amount equal to (i) two (2) times the net revenue of the MEA Companies for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2027, or (ii) four (4) times the EBITDA of the MEA Companies for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2027,  as derived from the MEA Companies’ audited financial statements for such fiscal year, in each case multiplied by the percentage of MEA’s share capital actually acquired on exercise. The Option price is payable, at BiomX’s election, in cash, BiomX stock, or a combination thereof, and the Option Shares are to be delivered on a cash-free, debt-free basis.

 

Through the Option Exercise Date, Mayers agreed to cause MEA and/or Motomova to refrain from soliciting, initiating or entertaining offers from, negotiate with, or in any manner encourage, discuss, accept or consider any proposal from any other person relating to the acquisition or purchase of MEA, its assets, technology, business or shares, in whole or in part, in any manner.

 

The above description of the SPA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the SPA attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
