Rhea-AI Filing Summary

VisionWave Holdings, Inc. entered into and closed an asset purchase agreement to acquire all intellectual property rights to the QuantumSpeed technology from Adrian Holdings S.R.L. The consideration totals 10,000,000 shares of common stock plus a $10,000,000 promissory note. An independent valuation by BDO Consulting Group estimated the QuantumSpeed intellectual property at $99.6 million as of December 31, 2025, and BDO also provided a fairness opinion on the transaction structure and value.

Insights

VisionWave trades 10M shares and a $10M note for QuantumSpeed IP valued at $99.6M, with key approval and structure conditions.

VisionWave Holdings, Inc. acquired the QuantumSpeed intellectual property from Adrian Holdings S.R.L. in exchange for 10,000,000 common shares and a $10,000,000 promissory note. An independent valuation by BDO Consulting Group pegged the IP at $99.6 million as of December 31, 2025, and BDO delivered a fairness opinion on the deal terms. This indicates a sizeable, IP-focused transaction that could materially influence VisionWave’s asset mix and future technology roadmap.

The structure splits equity consideration between 3,000,000 shares issued at closing and 7,000,000 contingent shares that depend on shareholder approval under Nasdaq listing rules. VisionWave is obligated to seek this approval within nine months of closing. If approval is not obtained, 60% of QuantumSpeed Inc., the subsidiary holding the IP, will be transferred to the seller, which retains the initial shares and the note. The 3,000,000 closing shares were issued in a private offering under Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D, with the seller representing accredited investor status.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On January 5, 2026, VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Adrian Holdings S.R.L., a Costa Rican company (the “Seller”).

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire from the Seller, and the Seller agreed to sell, transfer, convey and assign to the Company, all right, title and interest in and to certain intellectual property assets related to the technology known as QuantumSpeed (the “Assigned IP”), as more fully described in the Agreement.

 

In consideration for the Assigned IP, the Company agreed to pay the Seller aggregate consideration consisting of (i) 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Purchase Shares”), and (ii) a promissory note in the principal amount of $10,000,000 (the “Note”).

 

At closing, the Company will issue and deliver to the Seller 3,000,000 Purchase Shares (the “Closing Shares”) and executed and delivered the Note.

 

The issuance of the remaining 7,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Contingent Shares”) is subject to approval by the Company’s shareholders as required under applicable Nasdaq listing rules. The Company has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such shareholder approval (the “Shareholder Approval”) as soon as practicable following the Closing, including by including a proposal for such approval in its next annual or special meeting of shareholders (but excluding any special meeting to be held on or about February 2026), and in no event later than nine (9) months after the Closing Date. If Shareholder Approval is not obtained within nine (9) months after the Closing Date, then (i) the Company shall promptly cause sixty percent (60%) of the equity interests in QuantumSpeed Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company to which the acquired intellectual property assets will have been assigned, to be transferred to the Seller (or its designee) free and clear of all encumbrances (other than restrictions under applicable securities laws), (ii) the Seller’s security interest in such equity interests shall be automatically released, and (iii) the Seller shall retain full ownership of the 3,000,000 shares of common stock previously issued at Closing and the Note, without any obligation to return, cancel, or forfeit the same. For the avoidance of doubt, in such event, no alternative consideration will be provided in lieu of the Contingent Shares.

 

An independent third-party valuation by BDO Consulting Group assessed the QuantumSpeed intellectual property at approximately $99.6 million as of December 31, 2025, based on certain assumptions regarding future development success, market adoption, and discount rates. This valuation is not a guarantee of realizable value and is subject to significant risks, including potential impairment if development milestones are not met. The Company’s Board was provided also with a fairness opinion by BDO Consulting Group for the structure and the value of the transaction.

 

The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions for a transaction of this nature.

 

The foregoing description of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

On January 5, 2026, the transactions contemplated by the Agreement described in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K were completed. The information set forth in Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.

 

The Assigned IP consists of intellectual property rights owned by the Seller relating to the QuantumSpeed technology, including patents, patent applications, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, know-how, software and other proprietary rights, as set forth in Exhibit A to the Agreement. An independent third-party valuation of the Assigned IP was $99.6 million.

 

 

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

Pursuant to the Agreement described in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, on January 5, 2026, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of its common stock to the Seller as partial consideration for the Assigned IP. The issuance of these shares was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as the transaction did not involve a public offering.
