Rhea-AI Filing Summary

TruGolf Holdings, Inc. (TRUG) entered into a legally binding Memorandum of Understanding on August 25, 2026 with Tru Golf Canada Inc. as its exclusive master distributor and strategic platform partner for a defined Territory. The MOU governs the relationship while the parties negotiate a definitive long-form agreement in good faith within 45 days and will automatically terminate if no definitive agreement is executed within 180 days of the Effective Date, unless extended in writing.

The initial term of the distributor arrangement is five years from the Effective Date, subject to earlier termination. The Territory includes Indigenous Community Channel opportunities throughout Canada, the Thompson Okanagan Territory in British Columbia, exclusive rights to all Hard Rock opportunities in Oklahoma, global opportunities associated with the Hard Rock brand owned by the Seminole Nation, and Canadian-Originated Opportunities registered by the distributor and accepted by TruGolf. The distributor’s rights in this Territory are exclusive except for certain specified accounts. There are no minimum purchase or sales targets in the first 12 months; from the second year, objective performance targets will be set, and failure to meet them may convert affected portions of the Territory from exclusive to non-exclusive status rather than termination.
