Rhea-AI Filing Summary

DyTb, LLC, as successor to Texas Mineral Resources Corp. (TMRC), reports the closing of a two-step merger completed on August 7, 2026 under a March 4, 2026 Agreement and Plan of Merger among TMRC, USA Rare Earth, Inc. (USAR) and merger subsidiaries. First, Hamer Merger Sub, Inc. merged with and into TMRC, and TMRC then merged with and into DyTb, LLC, which continues as the surviving entity.

At the effective time of the first merger, each outstanding share of TMRC common stock (other than certain excluded shares) was converted into the right to receive USAR common stock based on a pool of 3,823,328 USAR shares divided by 88,339,693 fully diluted TMRC shares, resulting in a final exchange ratio of 0.043279843 USAR share per TMRC share, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. These USAR shares were issued under an effective Form S-4 registration statement.

As of the effective time, TMRC stockholders ceased to have rights in TMRC shares other than the merger consideration. TMRC’s directors and executive officers stopped serving, and immediately after the second merger, Valerie Ford Jacob became President, Treasurer and Secretary of DyTb, LLC. TMRC’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws were amended and restated in connection with the first merger and later superseded by DyTb, LLC’s organizational documents.

In connection with the mergers, TMRC’s mineral exploration and option agreement with Santa Fe Gold Corporation was terminated effective August 7, 2026. TMRC’s common stock has been withdrawn from quotation on the OTCQB Venture Market, and the successor company intends to file Form 15 to deregister TMRC common stock and suspend reporting obligations under the Exchange Act.

Form S-4 effectiveness date June 29, 2026 Date the SEC declared effective USAR’s Form S-4 registering the merger shares
Agreement and Plan of Merger regulatory
"transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 4, 2026"
An Agreement and Plan of Merger is a formal document where two companies agree to combine into one, outlining how the process will happen. It’s like a step-by-step plan for merging, and it matters because it shows both sides have agreed on the details before the official transition takes place.
bankable feasibility study financial
"multi-phase exploration plan leading to a bankable feasibility study planned to be undertaken"
A bankable feasibility study is a comprehensive, independently reviewed analysis that shows whether a proposed project is technically sound, legally clear, environmentally acceptable and financially viable enough for banks or other lenders to provide long-term financing. Think of it as a detailed business plan plus an inspector’s report that quantifies costs, revenue forecasts and key risks; investors use it as evidence that the project can deliver returns and secure the funding needed to proceed.
Form S-4 regulatory
"registered under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4"
A Form S-4 is a legal document that companies file with the government to announce and explain a major business move, such as a merger or acquisition. It provides detailed information to help investors understand how the deal might affect the company's value and future prospects, similar to a detailed blueprint that clarifies the impact of a significant change.
Form 15 regulatory
"intends to file with the SEC a certification on Form 15 requesting the deregistration"
A Form 15 is a short filing a public company uses with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to stop or pause its routine public reporting requirements when it meets certain legal thresholds (such as a low number of public shareholders) or other qualifying conditions. Investors should care because filing one typically means less public financial information and lower trading liquidity—similar to a shop taking down its public notice board, making it harder to track performance and buy or sell shares.
OTCQB Venture Market market
"shares of common stock of TMRC were quoted on the OTCQB Venture Market"
The OTCQB Venture Market is a tier of the over‑the‑counter (OTC) trading platform that groups early‑stage, smaller companies that do not meet the stricter requirements of higher OTC tiers. It gives investors a way to buy and sell shares in these higher‑risk, less mature firms with generally lower reporting and transparency standards; think of it as a marketplace’s “starter lane” where potential is available but uncertainty and volatility are higher, so investors should expect greater risk and do extra homework.

Introductory Note

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed in connection with the closing on August 7, 2026 (the “Closing Date”) of the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 4, 2026 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Texas Mineral Resources Corp. (“TMRC”), USA Rare Earth, Inc. (“USAR”), Hamer Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of USAR (“First Merger Sub”), and DyTb, LLC (f/k/a Hamer Merger Sub, LLC), a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of USAR (the “Company”).

 

Effective as of the Closing Date, USAR completed its previously announced acquisition of TMRC, pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) First Merger Sub merged with and into TMRC, with TMRC continuing as the surviving corporation (the “First Merger”), and (ii) following the First Merger, and as part of a single integrated transaction, TMRC merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving entity under the name “DyTb, LLC” (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”).

 

Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

In November 2021, TMRC entered into a mineral exploration and option agreement with Santa Fe Gold Corporation (“Santa Fe”), which agreement was amended in May 2024 (the “Santa Fe Option Agreement”). Under the option agreement, TMRC had the right to pursue a joint venture arrangement with Santa Fe to jointly explore and develop one or more target silver properties to be selected by TMRC among patented and unpatented mining claims held by Santa Fe within the project area located in the Black Hawk Mining District in Grant County, New Mexico. Completion of a joint venture agreement, if any, was to be subject to the successful outcome of a multi-phase exploration plan leading to a bankable feasibility study planned to be undertaken in the near future by TMRC. Under the contemplated terms of the proposed joint venture agreement, TMRC was to be project operator and initially own 50.5% of the joint venture while Santa Fe would initially own 49.5%. Additional terms of the joint venture were to be negotiated between TMRC and Santa Fe in the future.

 

In connection with the Mergers, the Santa Fe Option Agreement was terminated effective as of August 7, 2026

 

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

The information set forth in the Introductory Note of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the First Merger, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of TMRC issued and outstanding immediately prior to such time (excluding shares owned by USAR, TMRC or their respective wholly owned subsidiaries) was converted into the right to receive that portion of a validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of USAR (“USAR Common Stock”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) 3,823,328 by (b) the aggregate number of shares of TMRC common stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis at the effective time, resulting in a final exchange ratio of 0.043279843 of a share of USAR Common Stock for each share of TMRC common stock (based on 88,339,693 shares of TMRC common stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis at the effective time). Holders of TMRC common stock otherwise entitled to a fractional share of USAR Common Stock became entitled to receive cash in lieu of such fractional share.

 

The issuance of shares of USAR Common Stock to the former stockholders of TMRC was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-295838), as amended, filed by USAR with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and declared effective on June 29, 2026. The proxy statement/prospectus included in the registration statement contains additional information about the Mergers, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.
