Rhea-AI Filing Summary

VisionWave Holdings, Inc. has filed an amended Form S-1 to register for resale up to 10,200,000 shares of its common stock for YA II PN, Ltd. under a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (SEPA).

The registration covers 200,000 commitment shares already issued to YA II and up to 10,000,000 additional shares that may be issued if VisionWave sells stock to YA II over time. VisionWave will not receive proceeds from YA II’s resale of these shares, but it may raise up to $50.0 million by selling shares to YA II at 97% of the lowest three-day VWAP, subject to trading-volume, ownership and exchange caps.

YA II has already provided a $5.0 million pre-paid advance via convertible notes purchased at 94% of principal, bearing 6% interest (rising to 18% on default) and convertible at the lower of $10.00 or 93% of five-day VWAP, with a $1.00 floor price and a 4.99% ownership cap. As of January 22, 2026, VisionWave had 19,563,350 shares outstanding, rising to 29,563,350 if all 10,200,000 registered shares are issued.

Insights

VisionWave sets up a $50M equity line with significant dilution controls and downside risks.

VisionWave Holdings is registering 10,200,000 shares of common stock for resale by YA II PN, Ltd. tied to a $50.0 million SEPA. The company can periodically direct YA II to buy shares at 97% of the lowest daily VWAP over three days, with each advance capped at 100% of recent average trading volume. This structure provides flexible access to equity funding but links issuance closely to market liquidity and pricing.

Separately, YA II has already advanced $5.0 million via convertible notes bought at 94% of principal, paying 6% interest and convertible at the lower of $10.00 or 93% of five-day VWAP, subject to a $1.00 floor. A 4.99% beneficial ownership cap and an exchange cap tied to 19.99% of pre-deal shares limit how much can be converted or issued without shareholder approval.

The risk factor section highlights that substantial resales by YA II, or expectations of such sales, may pressure the stock price and dilute existing holders. It also notes that certain “Amortization Events” (such as a sustained breach of the floor price or hitting the exchange cap) could trigger monthly cash payments of $750,000 plus a 5% premium and accrued interest, which could strain liquidity if they occur. Subsequent filings and market conditions will determine how extensively VisionWave uses this facility.

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED JANUARY 23, 2026

 

PROSPECTUS

 

10,200,000 Shares

 

VisionWave Holdings, Inc.

 

Common Stock

 

This prospectus relates to the offer and sale, from time to time, by the selling stockholder identified below, or their permitted transferees, of up to 10,200,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“common stock”), including (i) up to 10,000,000 shares of our common stock that we may issue and sell to YA II PN, LTD., a Cayman Islands exempt limited company (“YA II,” “Investor” or the “Selling Stockholder”), from time to time after the date of this prospectus, pursuant to the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement dated July 25, 2025, as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated January 19, 2026 (“SEPA”), entered into with YA II and (ii) 200,000 shares of common stock (the “YA II Commitment Shares”) issued to YA II as consideration for its irrevocable commitment under the SEPA.

 

The shares of our common stock being offered by YA II have been and may be issued pursuant to the SEPA pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to YA II up to $50 million of its shares of common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA, from time to time during the term of the SEPA.

 

Upon the satisfaction of the conditions to YA II’s purchase obligation set forth in the SEPA, including having a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable under the SEPA declared effective by the SEC, the Company will have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at its discretion until the SEPA is terminated to direct Investor to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock (“Advance”) by delivering written notice to YA II (“Advance Notice”). While there is no mandatory minimum amount for any Advance, it may not exceed an amount equal to 100% of the average of the daily traded amount during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding an Advance Notice.

 

The shares of common stock purchased pursuant to an Advance delivered by the Company will be purchased at a price equal to 97% of the lowest daily VWAP of the shares of common stock during the three consecutive trading days commencing on the date of the delivery of the Advance Notice, other than the daily VWAP on a day in which the daily VWAP is less than a minimum acceptable price as stated by the Company in the Advance Notice or there is no VWAP on the subject trading day. The Company may establish a minimum acceptable price in each Advance Notice below which the Company will not be obligated to make any sales to YA II. “VWAP” is defined as the daily volume weighted average price of the shares of common stock for such trading day on the Nasdaq Stock Market during regular trading hours as reported by Bloomberg L.P.

 

The Amendment No. 1 (the "January Amendment") to the SEPA amended the SEPA to, among other things:

 

(i) remove the Investor's ability to deliver investor notices, which previously allowed the Investor to require the Company to issue and sell shares of Common Stock to the Investor in offset of amounts outstanding under the Convertible Notes;

 

(ii) modify the conditions under which an Amortization Event (as defined in the Convertible Notes) may occur, providing that no Amortization Event shall be deemed to have occurred due to a Registration Event (as defined in the Convertible Notes) prior to July 15, 2026 (the "Rule 144 Date"), and after the Rule 144 Date, no such Amortization Event shall occur so long as the Company remains current on its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and the Investor is able to rely on Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to resell shares of Common Stock issuable under the Promissory Notes;

 

(iii) cancel the Investor's obligation to fund an additional $2,000,000 in principal amount to the Company as set forth in a letter agreement dated September 11, 2025, between the Company and the Investor (provided that subsequent fundings on the same or different terms may be mutually agreed by the parties in the future and documented in writing); and

 

(iv) require the Company to use its best efforts to promptly respond to comments from the staff of the SEC regarding the Company's initial Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-289952) and seek effectiveness of such Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable.

 

 

 

In connection with the SEPA, and subject to the condition set forth therein, YA II has agreed to advance to the Company in the form of convertible promissory notes (the “Convertible Notes”) an aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million (the “Pre-Paid Advance”). The first Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed on July 25, 2025 with respect to $3.0 million and the balance of $2.0 million was disbursed on September 11, 2025. The purchase price for the Pre-Paid Advance is 94% of the principal amount of the Pre-Paid Advance. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding balance of any Pre-Paid Advance at an annual rate equal to 6.0%, subject to an increase to 18% upon an event of default as described in the Convertible Notes. The maturity date will be 12-months after the closing of each tranche of the Pre-Paid Advance. Investor may convert the Convertible Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of $10.00 or 93% of the lowest daily VWAP during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion (the “Conversion Price”); provided, that in no event may the Conversion Price be lower than $1.00 (the “Floor Price”). In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, the Convertible Notes may be declared immediately due and payable, in which case the Company shall pay to YA II the principal and interest due thereunder. In no event shall Investor be allowed to effect a conversion if such conversion, along with all other shares of common stock then beneficially owned by YA II and its affiliates, would exceed 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company. If at any time on or after the issuance of the Convertible Notes (i) the daily VWAP is less than the Floor Price for five trading days during a period of seven consecutive trading days (“Floor Price Event”), (ii) the Company has issued in excess of 99% of the shares of common stock available under the Exchange Cap, where applicable ( “Exchange Cap Event”) or (iii) a Registration Event occurs (an event whereby after the effectiveness deadline set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Investor is unable to utilize an effective registration statement to resell the shares of common stock underlying the Convertible Notes for a period of 30 consecutive Trading Days), provided, however, that no Registration Event shall be deemed to have occurred prior to July 15, 2026 (the “Rule 144 Date”), and after the Rule 144 Date, no Registration Event shall be deemed to have occurred so long as the Company remains current on its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Investor is able to rely on Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to resell shares of common stock issuable under the Convertible Notes,, then the Company shall make monthly payments to Investor beginning on the seventh trading day after the Amortization Event and continuing monthly in the amount of $750,000 plus a 5.0% premium and all accrued and unpaid interest. The Exchange Cap Event will not apply in the event the Company has obtained the approval from its stockholders in accordance with the rules of Nasdaq Stock Market for the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the transactions contemplated in the Convertible Note and the SEPA in excess of 19.99% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the effective date of the SEPA (the “Exchange Cap”).

  

The Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of shares of common stock to YA II. Actual sales of shares of common stock to Investor as an Advance under the SEPA will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, which may include, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriate sources of funding for our business and operations.

 

The SEPA will automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the 24-month anniversary of the date of the SEPA or (ii) the date on which Investor shall have made payment of Advances pursuant to the SEPA for shares of common stock equal to $50,000,000. We have the right to terminate the SEPA at no cost or penalty upon five (5) trading days’ prior written notice to Investor, provided that there are no outstanding Advance Notices for which shares of common stock need to be issued and the Company has paid all amounts owed to Investor pursuant to the Convertible Notes and the SEPA. The Company and YA II may also agree to terminate the SEPA by mutual written consent. Neither the Company nor YA II may assign or transfer our respective rights and obligations under the SEPA, and no provision of the SEPA may be modified or waived by us or Investor other than by an instrument in writing signed by both parties.

 

 

 

As consideration for YA II’s commitment to purchase the shares of common stock pursuant the SEPA, the Company paid YA II, (i) a structuring fee in the amount of $35,000 and (ii) 200,000 shares of common stock as an equity fee. Further, the Company is required to pay YA II a commitment fee of $500,000 of which $250,000 shall be due and payable on the earlier of the effective date of the initial registration statement, or 60 days following the date of the SEPA, and the remaining $250,000 shall be due and payable on the date that is 90 days following the initial due date of the first $250,000 installment, in each case to be paid by the issuance of such number of common shares that is equal to the applicable portion of the commitment fee divided by the average of the daily VWAPs of the common shares during the three trading days immediately prior to the applicable due date.

 

YA II is an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) , and any profits on the sales of shares of our common stock by YA II arising out of an Advance Notice under the SEPA and any discounts, commissions, or concessions received by YA II arising out of an Advance Notice under the SEPA are deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. YA II may offer and sell the securities covered by this prospectus from time to time. YA II may offer and sell the securities covered by this prospectus in a number of different ways and at varying prices. If any underwriters, dealers or agents are involved in the sale of any of the securities, their names and any applicable purchase price, fee, commission or discount arrangement between or among them will be set forth, or will be calculable from the information set forth, in any applicable prospectus supplement. See the sections of this prospectus titled “About this Prospectus” and “Plan of Distribution” for more information. No securities may be sold without delivery of this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement describing the method and terms of the offering of such securities.

We will pay the expenses (except brokerage fees and commissions and similar expenses) incurred in registering under the Securities Act the offer and sale of the shares included in this prospectus by Selling Stockholder.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain statements contained in this prospectus may constitute “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal securities laws. Such statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements appear in a number of places in this prospectus including, without limitation, in the section titled “Business.” In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “plan,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “contemplate,” “intend,” “outlook,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “continue,” “could,” “may,” “might,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” “will,” “would” and other similar words and expressions (including the negative of any of the foregoing), but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

 

These forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date of this prospectus and our managements’ current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside the control of the Company and our directors, officers and affiliates. There can be no assurance that future developments will be those that have been anticipated. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date.

 

These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described in “Risk Factors,” our periodic filings with the SEC and the following:

 

  the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against VisionWave;

 

  the ability to obtain or maintain the listing of the Common Stock and Warrants on Nasdaq;

 

  the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of VisionWave;

 

  costs related to the Business Combination;

 

  changes in applicable laws or regulations;

 

  the effects of competition on VisionWave’s future business;

 

  VisionWave’s expansion into new products, services, technologies or geographic regions;

 

  the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations following the Business Combination and identify and realize additional opportunities and to continue as a going concern;

 

  the risk of downturns and the possibility of rapid change in the highly competitive industry in which VisionWave operate;

 

  the risk that VisionWave may not sustain profitability;

 

  the risk that VisionWave will need to raise additional capital to execute its business plan, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all;

 

  the risk that VisionWave experiences difficulties in managing its growth and expanding operations;

 

  the risk that VisionWave are unable to secure or protect their intellectual property;

 

iii

 

 

  the risk that estimated growth of the industry does not occur, or does not occur at the rates or timing VisionWave has assumed based on third-party estimates and its own internal analyses;

 

  the possibility that VisionWave may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and competitive factors; and

 

  the potential liquidity and trading or lack thereof of our public securities.

 

Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the dates on which they are made. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise our forward-looking statements even if experience or future changes makes it clear that any projected results expressed or implied in such statements will not be realized, except as may be required by law.

 

These statements relate to future events or our future operational or financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, those listed under the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus, in any related prospectus supplement and in any related free writing prospectus.

 

Any forward-looking statement in this prospectus, in any related prospectus supplement and in any related free writing prospectus reflects our current view with respect to future events and is subject to these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to our business, results of operations, industry and future growth. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance. You should read this prospectus, any related prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus and the documents that we reference herein and therein and have filed as exhibits hereto and thereto completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available in the future.

 

This prospectus, any related prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus also contain or may contain estimates, projections and other information concerning our industry, our business and the markets for our products, including data regarding the estimated size of those markets and their projected growth rates. We obtained the industry and market data in this prospectus from our own research as well as from industry and general publications, surveys and studies conducted by third parties. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations and contains projections and estimates of the future performance of the industries in which we operate that are subject to a high degree of uncertainty, including those discussed in “Risk Factors.” We caution you not to give undue weight to such projections, assumptions and estimates. Further, industry and general publications, studies and surveys generally state that they have been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, although they do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information. While we believe that these publications, studies and surveys are reliable, we have not independently verified the data contained in them. In addition, while we believe that the results and estimates from our internal research are reliable, such results and estimates have not been verified by any independent source.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

The following summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary may not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our historical financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

 

Overview

 

VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (the “Company,” “VisionWave,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a Delaware corporation formed on September 4, 2024, with principal executive offices located at 300 Delaware Avenue, Suite 210 #301, Wilmington, Delaware 19801. Our common stock trades on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “VWAV,” and our publicly traded warrants trade under the symbol “VWAVW.” We maintain a website at www.vwav.inc, where additional information about our business can be found. The information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not incorporated by reference into, and is not a part of, this prospectus.

 

We are a technology company focused on the development and commercialization of advanced artificial intelligence (“AI”) and autonomous solutions for multi-domain operations across air, ground, and sea environments. Through our wholly owned subsidiary, VisionWave Technologies Inc. (a Nevada corporation, “VisionWave Technologies”), we design, prototype, and deploy technologies including high-resolution radars, advanced vision systems, radio frequency (“RF”) sensing innovations, unmanned aerial systems (“UAS”), unmanned ground vehicles (“UGVs”), remote weapon stations (“RWS”), and active protection systems (“APS”) for the defense industry. Our solutions target military, homeland security, and industrial applications, emphasizing real-time threat detection, autonomous response, and modular integration to enhance operational efficiency and reduce risk in contested environments.

 

Our proprietary AI engine (U.S. trademark application pending) serves as the core autonomy layer, enabling embedded, edge-based decision-making with low-latency sensor fusion, perception, and predictive control. This technology powers our product lines, which are at various stages of prototype development, pilot testing, and commercialization readiness. Products are designed to be “ready for deployment,” with manufacturing and delivery upon customer orders, supplemented by non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) efforts for customizations such as payload configurations, colors, or mission-specific adaptations. We generate revenue through direct product sales, technology licensing to defense contractors and governments, strategic alliances for co-development, and joint ventures for large-scale manufacturing and deployment.

 

VisionWave was established through a business combination (the “Business Combination”) with Bannix Acquisition Corp. (“Bannix”), a special purpose acquisition company, consummated on July 14, 2025, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement dated September 6, 2024. Prior to the Business Combination, Bannix was a blank-check company incorporated on January 21, 2021. In exchange, each share of VisionWave Technologies was converted into 4,041 shares of our common stock, resulting in the issuance of approximately 11,000,000 shares for 2,722 shares of VisionWave Technologies outstanding immediately prior to closing. Following the Business Combination, we became a public company with access to capital markets to fund research and development (“R&D”), pilot programs, and market expansion.

YA II Transaction

 

On July 25, 2025, we entered into the SEPA with YA II. Under the SEPA, the Company has the right to sell to YA II up to $50 million of its shares of common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA, from time to time during the term of the SEPA. On January 19, 2026, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the SEPA.

 

Upon the satisfaction of the conditions to YA II’s purchase obligation set forth in the SEPA, including having a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable under the SEPA declared effective by the SEC, the Company will have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at its discretion until the SEPA is terminated to direct Investor to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock (“Advance”) by delivering written notice to YA II (“Advance Notice”). While there is no mandatory minimum amount for any Advance, it may not exceed an amount equal to 100% of the average of the daily traded amount during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding an Advance Notice.

 

The shares of common stock purchased pursuant to an Advance delivered by the Company will be purchased at a price equal to 97% of the lowest daily VWAP of the shares of common stock during the three consecutive trading days commencing on the date of the delivery of the Advance Notice, other than the daily VWAP on a day in which the daily VWAP is less than a minimum acceptable price as stated by the Company in the Advance Notice or there is no VWAP on the subject trading day. The Company may establish a minimum acceptable price in each Advance Notice below which the Company will not be obligated to make any sales to YA II. “VWAP” is defined as the daily volume weighted average price of the shares of common stock for such trading day on the Nasdaq Stock Market during regular trading hours as reported by Bloomberg L.P.

  

The January Amendment amended the SEPA to, among other things:

 

(i) remove the Investor's ability to deliver investor notices, which previously allowed the Investor to require the Company to issue and sell shares of Common Stock to the Investor in offset of amounts outstanding under the Convertible Notes;

 

(ii) modify the conditions under which an Amortization Event (as defined in the Convertible Notes) may occur, providing that no Amortization Event shall be deemed to have occurred due to a Registration Event (as defined in the Convertible Notes) prior to the Rule 144 Date, and after the Rule 144 Date, no such Amortization Event shall occur so long as the Company remains current on its filings with the SEC and the Investor is able to rely on Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to resell shares of Common Stock issuable under the Promissory Notes;

 

(iii) cancel the Investor's obligation to fund an additional $2,000,000 in principal amount to the Company as set forth in a letter agreement dated September 11, 2025, between the Company and the Investor (provided that subsequent fundings on the same or different terms may be mutually agreed by the parties in the future and documented in writing); and

 

(iv) require the Company to use its best efforts to promptly respond to comments from the staff of the SEC regarding the Company's initial Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-289952) and seek effectiveness of such Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable.

 

In connection with the SEPA, and subject to the condition set forth therein, YA II has agreed to advance to the Company the Pre-Paid Advance. The first Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed on July 25, 2025 with respect to $3.0 million and the balance of $2.0 million was disbursed on September 11, 2025. The purchase price for the Pre-Paid Advance is 94% of the principal amount of the Pre-Paid Advance. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding balance of any Pre-Paid Advance at an annual rate equal to 6.0%, subject to an increase to 18% upon an event of default as described in the Convertible Notes. The maturity date will be 12-months after the closing of each tranche of the Pre-Paid Advance. Investor may convert the Convertible Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of $10.00 or 93% of the lowest daily VWAP during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion (the “Conversion Price”); provided, that in no event may the Conversion Price be lower than $1.00 (the “Floor Price”). In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, the Convertible Notes may be declared immediately due and payable, in which case the Company shall pay to YA II the principal and interest due thereunder. In no event shall Investor be allowed to effect a conversion if such conversion, along with all other shares of common stock then beneficially owned by YA II and its affiliates, would exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the then common stock of the Company. If at any time on or after the issuance of the Convertible Notes (i) the Floor Price Event, (ii) the Exchange Cap Event or (iii) a Registration Event occurs, provided, however, that no Registration Event shall be deemed to have occurred prior to the Rule 144 Date, and after the Rule 144 Date, no Registration Event shall be deemed to have occurred so long as the Company remains current on its filings with the SEC and the Investor is able to rely on Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to resell shares of common stock issuable under the Convertible Notes, then the Company shall make monthly payments to Investor beginning on the seventh trading day after the Amortization Event and continuing monthly in the amount of $750,000 plus a 5.0% premium and all accrued and unpaid interest. The Exchange Cap Event will not apply in the event the Company has obtained the approval from its stockholders in accordance with the rules of Nasdaq Stock Market for the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the transactions contemplated in the Convertible Note and the SEPA in excess of the Exchange Cap.

The Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of shares of common stock to YA II. Actual sales of shares of common stock to Investor as an Advance under the SEPA will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, which may include, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriate sources of funding for our business and operations.

 

The SEPA will automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the 24-month anniversary of the date of the SEPA or (ii) the date on which Investor shall have made payment of Advances pursuant to the SEPA for shares of common stock equal to $50,000,000. We have the right to terminate the SEPA at no cost or penalty upon five (5) trading days’ prior written notice to Investor, provided that there are no outstanding Advance Notices for which shares of common stock need to be issued and the Company has paid all amounts owed to Investor pursuant to the Convertible Notes and the SEPA. The Company and YA II may also agree to terminate the SEPA by mutual written consent. Neither the Company nor YA II may assign or transfer our respective rights and obligations under the SEPA, and no provision of the SEPA may be modified or waived by us or Investor other than by an instrument in writing signed by both parties.

 

As consideration for YA II’s commitment to purchase the shares of common stock pursuant the SEPA, the Company paid YA II, (i) a structuring fee in the amount of $35,000 and (ii) 200,000 shares of common stock as an equity fee. Further, the Company is required to pay YA II a commitment fee of $500,000 of which $250,000 shall be due and payable on the earlier of the effective date of the initial registration statement, or 60 days following the date of the SEPA, and the remaining $250,000 shall be due and payable on the date that is 90 days following the due date of the initial $250,000 installment, in each case to be paid by the issuance of such number of common shares that is equal to the applicable portion of the commitment fee divided by the average of the daily VWAPs of the common shares during the three trading days immediately prior to the applicable due date.

 

Failure to Redeem Public Shares

Pursuant to Bannix Acquisition Corp.’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation in effect from March 10, 2025, through the consummation of the Business Combination, Bannix Acquisition Corp. was required to redeem all remaining public offering shares no later than June 27, 2025 (ten business days after the June 14, 2025 deadline for consummating an initial business combination). Bannix Acquisition Corp. did not redeem the remaining public offering shares as required by its amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the Business Combination was subsequently consummated on July 14, 2025. The failure to redeem the remaining public shares was inconsistent with the disclosures in the prospectus for Bannix Acquisition Corp.’s initial public offering (filed September 14, 2021) and the combined prospectus and proxy statement for the Business Combination, which stated that if an initial business combination was not consummated by the applicable deadline, Bannix Acquisition Corp. would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeem all public shares, and liquidate and dissolve, subject to applicable law.

 

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

 

We qualify as an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”). As an emerging growth company, we take advantage of reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to:

 

  being permitted to present only two years of audited financial statements, in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements, with correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure in this prospectus;

 

  not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (“Sarbanes-Oxley”);

 

  reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements; and

 

  exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

3

 

 

We expect to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier, including if the market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million, if we issue $1 billion or more in non-convertible debt during a three-year period, or if our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion. We would cease to be an emerging growth company on the last day of the fiscal year following the date of the fifth anniversary of our first sale of common equity securities under an effective registration statement or a fiscal year in which we have $1 billion in gross revenues. Finally, at any time we may choose to opt-out of the emerging growth company reporting requirements. If we choose to opt out, we will be unable to opt back in to being an emerging growth company.

 

The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. To the extent that we continue to qualify as a “smaller reporting company,” as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, after we cease to qualify as an emerging growth company, certain of the exemptions available to us as an emerging growth company may continue to be available to us as a smaller reporting company, including (i) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act, (ii) scaled executive compensation disclosures, and (iii) the requirement to provide only two years of audited financial statements, instead of three years.

THE OFFERING

 

On July 25, 2025, we entered into the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”) with YA II pursuant to which we have the right to sell to YA II up to $50 million of its shares of common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA, from time to time during the term of the SEPA. We entered Amendment No. 1 to the SEPA on January 19, 2026

 

Upon the satisfaction of the conditions to YA II’s purchase obligation set forth in the SEPA, including having a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable under the SEPA declared effective by the SEC, we will have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at its discretion until the SEPA is terminated to direct YA II to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock pursuant to an Advance by delivering an Advance Notice. While there is no mandatory minimum amount for any Advance, it may not exceed an amount equal to 100% of the average of the daily traded amount during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding an Advance Notice.

 

The shares of common stock purchased pursuant to an Advance delivered by us will be purchased at a price equal to 97% of the lowest daily VWAP of the shares of common stock during the three consecutive trading days commencing on the date of the delivery of the Advance Notice, other than the daily VWAP on a day in which the daily VWAP is less than a minimum acceptable price as stated by us in the Advance Notice or there is no VWAP on the subject trading day. We may establish a minimum acceptable price in each Advance Notice below which the Company will not be obligated to make any sales to YA II. “VWAP” is defined as the daily volume weighted average price of the shares of common stock for such trading day on the Nasdaq Stock Market during regular trading hours as reported by Bloomberg L.P.

 

The January Amendment amended the SEPA to, among other things:

 

(i) remove the Investor's ability to deliver investor notices, which previously allowed the Investor to require the Company to issue and sell shares of Common Stock to the Investor in offset of amounts outstanding under the Convertible Notes;

 

(ii) modify the conditions under which an Amortization Event (as defined in the Convertible Notes) may occur, providing that no Amortization Event shall be deemed to have occurred due to a Registration Event (as defined in the Convertible Notes) prior to the Rule 144 Date, and after the Rule 144 Date, no such Amortization Event shall occur so long as the Company remains current on its filings with the SEC and the Investor is able to rely on Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to resell shares of Common Stock issuable under the Promissory Notes;

 

(iii) cancel the Investor's obligation to fund an additional $2,000,000 in principal amount to the Company as set forth in a letter agreement dated September 11, 2025, between the Company and the Investor (provided that subsequent fundings on the same or different terms may be mutually agreed by the parties in the future and documented in writing); and

 

(iv) require the Company to use its best efforts to promptly respond to comments from the staff of the SEC regarding the Company's initial Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-289952) and seek effectiveness of such Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable.

 

In connection with the SEPA, and subject to the condition set forth therein, YA II has agreed to advance to the Company the Pre-Paid Advance. The first Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed on July 25, 2025 with respect to $3.0 million and the balance of $2.0 million will be disbursed upon the registration statement registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable under the SEPA being declared effective. The purchase price for the Pre-Paid Advance is 94% of the principal amount of the Pre-Paid Advance. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding balance of any Pre-Paid Advance at an annual rate equal to 6.0%, subject to an increase to 18% upon an event of default as described in the Convertible Notes. The maturity date will be 12-months after the closing of each tranche of the Pre-Paid Advance. Investor may convert the Convertible Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of $10.00 or 93% of the lowest daily VWAP during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion (the “Conversion Price”); provided, that in no event may the Conversion Price be lower than $1.00 (the “Floor Price”). In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, the Convertible Notes may be declared immediately due and payable, in which case the Company shall pay to YA II the principal and interest due thereunder. In no event shall Investor be allowed to effect a conversion if such conversion, along with all other shares of common stock then beneficially owned by YA II and its affiliates, would exceed 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company. If at any time on or after the issuance of the Convertible Notes (i) the Floor Price Event, (ii) the Exchange Cap Event or (iii) a Registration Event occurs, provided, however, that no Registration Event shall be deemed to have occurred prior to the Rule 144 Date, and after the Rule 144 Date, no Registration Event shall be deemed to have occurred so long as the Company remains current on its filings with the SEC and the Investor is able to rely on Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to resell shares of common stock issuable under the Convertible Notes, then the Company shall make monthly payments to Investor beginning on the seventh trading day after the Amortization Event and continuing monthly in the amount of $750,000 plus a 5.0% premium and all accrued and unpaid interest. The Exchange Cap Event will not apply in the event the Company has obtained the approval from its stockholders in accordance with the rules of Nasdaq Stock Market for the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the transactions contemplated in the Convertible Note and the SEPA in excess of the Exchange Cap.

We will control the timing and amount of any sales of shares of common stock to YA II. Actual sales of shares of common stock to YA II as an Advance under the SEPA will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, which may include, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of our common stock and determinations by us as to the appropriate sources of funding for our business and operations.

 

The SEPA will automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the 24-month anniversary of the date of the SEPA or (ii) the date on which YA II shall have made payment of Advances pursuant to the SEPA for shares of common stock equal to $50,000,000. We have the right to terminate the SEPA at no cost or penalty upon five (5) trading days’ prior written notice to YA II, provided that there are no outstanding Advance Notices for which shares of common stock need to be issued and the Company has paid all amounts owed to YA II pursuant to the Convertible Notes and the SEPA. Our company and YA II may also agree to terminate the SEPA by mutual written consent. Neither our company nor YA II may assign or transfer our respective rights and obligations under the SEPA, and no provision of the SEPA may be modified or waived by us or YA II other than by an instrument in writing signed by both parties.

 

As consideration for YA II’s commitment to purchase the shares of common stock pursuant the SEPA, we paid YA II, (i) a structuring fee in the amount of $35,000 and (ii) 200,000 shares of common stock as an equity fee. Further, the Company is required to pay YA II a commitment fee of $500,000 of which $250,000 shall be due and payable on the earlier of the effective date of the initial registration statement, or 60 days following the date of the SEPA and the remaining $250,000 shall be due and payable on the date that is 90 days following the initial due date of the first $250,000 installment, in each case to be paid by the issuance of such number of common shares that is equal to the applicable portion of the commitment fee divided by the average of the daily VWAPs of the common shares during the three trading days immediately prior to the applicable due date.

 

The SEPA contains customary representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification obligations of the parties. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in such agreements were made only for purposes of such agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.

 

The net proceeds under the SEPA to us will depend on the frequency and prices at which we sell our shares of common stock to YA II. We expect that any proceeds received from such sales to YA II will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

While YA II may experience a positive rate of return based on the current trading price of our shares of common stock, our shareholders may not experience a similar rate of return on the shares of common stock they purchased due to differences in the purchase prices and the then-current trading price at the time of any sale. The purchase price for the shares of common stock under the SEPA and the number of shares we might issue to YA II under the SEPA cannot be known. There are substantial risks to our stockholders as a result of the sale and issuance of common stock to YA II under the SEPA. These risks include substantial dilution, significant declines in our stock price and our inability to draw sufficient funds when needed. See the section entitled “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this prospectus. Issuances of our common stock under the SEPA will not affect the rights or privileges of our existing stockholders, except that the economic and voting interests of each of our existing stockholders will be diluted as a result of any such issuance. Although the number of shares of common stock that our existing stockholders own will not decrease, the shares owned by our existing stockholders will represent a smaller percentage of our total outstanding shares after any such issuances pursuant to the SEPA.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. This prospectus contains the risks applicable to an investment in our securities. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, you should carefully consider the specific factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in this prospectus. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our operations. The occurrence of any of these known or unknown risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment in the offered securities.

 

Risks Related to this Offering

 

Substantial blocks of our common stock may be sold into the market as a result of the shares sold to YA II under the SEPA, which may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

 

The price of our common stock could decline if there are substantial sales of shares of our common stock, if there is a large number of shares of our common stock available for sale, or if there is the perception that these sales could occur.

 

On July 25, 2025, we entered into the SEPA with YA II, which was amended on January 19, 2026. Under the SEPA, we agreed to issue and sell to YA II, from time to time, and YA II agreed to purchase from us, up to $50.0 million of our common stock. We shall not affect any sales under the SEPA and YA II shall not have any obligation to purchase shares of common stock under the SEPA to the extent that after giving effect to such purchase and sale YA II would exceed the Ownership Limitation or the Exchange Cap. Thus, we may not have access to the right to sell the full $50.0 million of shares of common stock to YA II. In connection with the SEPA, and subject to the condition set forth therein, YA II has agreed to advance us the Pre-Paid Advance which shall be evidenced by the Convertible Notes to be issued to YA II at a purchase price equal to 94.0% of the principal amount of each Pre-Paid Advance. On July 25, 2025, YA II advanced the first Pre-Paid Advance to us in the principal amount of $3.0 million and we issued a Convertible Note to YA II in the principal amount of $3.0 million. The balance of $2.0 million of the Pre-Paid Advance was advanced by YA II to us on September 11, 2025. The purchase price for each Convertible Note representing a Pre-Paid Advance is 94.0% of the principal amount of the Pre-Paid Advance. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding balance of any Convertible Note at an annual rate equal to 6.0%, subject to an increase to 18% upon an event of default as described in the Convertible Notes. The maturity date for each Convertible Note will be 12-months after the closing of each tranche of the Pre-Paid Advance. YA II may convert the Convertible Notes into shares of our common stock at the Conversion Price, which in no event may the Conversion Price be lower than the Floor Price.

 

Any issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to this facility will dilute the percentage ownership of stockholders and may dilute the per share projected earnings (if any) or book value of our common stock. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market or other issuances of shares of our common stock, or the perception that these sales or issuances could occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline and may make it more difficult for you to sell your shares at a time and price that you deem appropriate.

 

It is not possible to predict the actual number of shares we will sell under the SEPA to YA II at any one time or in total, or the actual gross proceeds resulting from those sales.

 

We have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales of our shares of common stock to YA II under the SEPA. Sales of our common stock, if any, to YA II under the SEPA will depend upon market conditions and other factors. We may ultimately decide to sell to YA II all, some or none of the shares of our common stock that may be available for us to sell to YA II pursuant to the SEPA. In connection with the SEPA, and subject to the condition set forth therein, YA II has agreed to advance us the Pre-Paid Advance which shall be evidenced by the Convertible Notes to be issued to YA II at a purchase price equal to 94.0% of the principal amount of each Pre-Paid Advance. On July 25, 2025, YA II advanced the first Pre-Paid Advance to us in the principal amount of $3.0 million and we issued a Convertible Note to YA II in the principal amount of $3.0 million. The balance of $2.0 million of the Pre-Paid Advance was funded on September 11, 2025. The purchase price for each Convertible Note representing a Pre-Paid Advance is 94.0% of the principal amount of the Pre-Paid Advance. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding balance of any Convertible Note at an annual rate equal to 6.0%, subject to an increase to 18% upon an event of default as described in the Convertible Notes. The maturity date of each Convertible Note will be 12-months after the issuance of such note. YA II may convert the Convertible Notes into shares of our common stock at the Conversion Price, which in no event may the Conversion Price be lower than the Floor Price.

Because the purchase price per share to be paid by YA II for the shares of common stock that we may elect to sell to YA II under the SEPA, if any, will fluctuate based on the market prices of our common stock during the applicable Pricing Period for each Advance made pursuant to the SEPA, if any, it is not possible for us to predict, as of the date of this prospectus and prior to any such sales, the number of shares of common stock that we will sell to YA II under the SEPA, the purchase price per share that YA II will pay for shares purchased from us under the SEPA, or the aggregate gross proceeds that we will receive from those purchases by YA II under the SEPA, if any.

 

In addition, unless we obtain stockholder approval, we will not be able to issue shares of common stock in excess of the Exchange Cap under the SEPA in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules. Depending on the market prices of our common stock in the future, this could be a significant limitation on the amount of funds we are able to raise pursuant to the SEPA. Other limitations in the SEPA, including the Ownership Limitation, and our ability to meet the conditions necessary to deliver an Advance Notice, could also prevent us from being able to raise funds up to the Commitment Amount.

 

Moreover, although the SEPA provides that we may sell up to an aggregate of $50.0 million of our common stock to YA II, only 10,200,000 shares of our common stock are being registered for resale by YA II under the registration statement that includes this prospectus, consisting of (i) the 200,000 Commitment Shares that we issued to YA II upon execution of the SEPA as consideration for its commitment to purchase our common stock under the SEPA and (ii) up to 10,000,000 shares of common stock that we may elect to sell to YA II, in our sole discretion, from time to time from and after the date of, and pursuant to, the SEPA. Even if we elect to sell to YA II all of the shares of common stock being registered for resale under this prospectus, depending on the market prices of our common stock at the time of such sales, the actual gross proceeds from the sale of all such shares may be substantially less than the $50.0 million Commitment Amount under the SEPA, which could materially adversely affect our liquidity.

 

If we desire to issue and sell to YA II under the SEPA more than the 10,000,000 shares being registered for resale under this prospectus, and the Exchange Cap provisions and other limitations in the SEPA would allow us to do so, we would need to file with the SEC one or more additional registration statements to register under the Securities Act the resale by YA II of any such additional shares of our common stock and the SEC would have to declare such registration statement or statements effective before we could sell additional shares.

 

Further, the resale by YA II of 10,200,000 shares of common stock registered for resale in this offering at any given time, or the perception that these sales may occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline and to be highly volatile.

 

The sale and issuance of our shares of Common Stock to YA II will cause dilution to our existing shareholders, and the sale of the shares of Common Stock acquired by YA II, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the price of our Common Stock to fall.

 

The purchase price for the shares that we may sell to YA II under the SEPA will fluctuate based on the price of our shares of Common Stock. Depending on a number of factors, including market liquidity, sales of such shares may cause the trading price of our Common Stock to fall. If and when we do sell shares to YA II or when YA II requests an Investor Advance, YA II may resell all, some, or none of those shares at its discretion, subject to the terms of the SEPA. Therefore, sales to YA II by us could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our shares of Common Stock. Additionally, the sale of a substantial number of shares of Common Stock to YA II, or the anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a desirable time and price. The resale of shares of Common Stock by YA II in the public market or otherwise, including sales pursuant to this prospectus, or the perception that such sales could occur, could also harm the prevailing market price of our shares of Common Stock.

 

Following these issuances described above and as restrictions on resale end and registration statements are available for use, the market price of our shares of Common Stock could decline if the holders of restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them. As such, sales of a substantial number of shares of Common Stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our shares of Common Stock.

Upon an amortization event, we may be required to make payments that could cause us financial hardship.

 

In connection with the SEPA, and subject to the condition set forth therein, YA II has agreed to advance us the Pre-Paid Advance which shall be evidenced by the Convertible Notes to be issued to YA II at a purchase price equal to 94.0% of the principal amount of each Pre-Paid Advance. On July 25, 2025, YA II advanced the first Pre-Paid Advance to us in the principal amount of $3.0 million and we issued a Convertible Note to YA II in the principal amount of $3.0 million. The balance of $2.0 million was advanced by YA II to us on September 11, 2025. The purchase price for each Convertible Note representing a Pre-Paid Advance is 94.0% of the principal amount of the Pre-Paid Advance. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding balance of any Convertible Note at an annual rate equal to 6.0%, subject to an increase to 18% upon an event of default as described in the Convertible Notes. The maturity date of each Convertible Note is 12-months from the date of issuance. YA II may convert the Convertible Notes into shares of our common stock at the Conversion Price, which in no event may the Conversion Price be lower than the Floor Price.

 

 If at any time on or after the issuance of the Convertible Notes (i) the daily VWAP is less than the Floor Price for five trading days during a period of seven consecutive trading days (“Floor Price Event”), (ii) the Company has issued in excess of 99% of the shares of common stock available under the Exchange Cap, where applicable (“Exchange Cap Event”) or (iii) a Registration Event occurs, provided, however, that no Registration Event shall be deemed to have occurred prior to the Rule 144 Date, and after the Rule 144 Date, no Registration Event shall be deemed to have occurred so long as the Company remains current on its filings with the SEC and the Investor is able to rely on Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to resell shares of common stock issuable under the Convertible Notes, then the Company shall make monthly payments to Investor beginning on the seventh trading day after the Amortization Event and continuing monthly in the amount of $750,000 plus a 5.0% premium and all accrued and unpaid interest.

 

This financial obligation may be an undue and unsustainable burden and may cause a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.

 

Investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.

 

Pursuant to the SEPA, we will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares sold to YA II. If and when we do elect to sell shares of our common stock to YA II pursuant to the SEPA, YA II may resell all, some or none of such shares at any time or from time to time in its discretion and at different prices. As a result, investors who purchase shares from YA II in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices for those shares, and so may experience different levels of dilution and in some cases substantial dilution and different outcomes in their investment results. Investors may experience a decline in the value of the shares they purchase from YA II in this offering as a result of future sales made by us to YA II at prices lower than the prices such investors paid for their shares in this offering.

 

Our current business plans require a significant amount of capital. If we are unable to obtain sufficient funding or do not have access to capital, we may not be able to execute our business plans and our prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

 

The extent to which we rely on YA II as a source of funding will depend on a number of factors, including the prevailing market price of our common stock, our ability to meet the conditions necessary to deliver Advance Notices under the SEPA, the impacts of the Exchange Cap and the Ownership Limitation and the extent to which we are able to secure funding from other sources. In addition to the amount of funds we ultimately raise under the SEPA, if any, we expect to continue to seek other sources of funding, including by offering additional equity, and/or equity-linked securities, through one or more credit facilities and potentially by offering debt securities, to finance a portion of our future expenditures.

 

We have experienced operating losses, and we expect to continue to incur operating losses as we implement our business plans. We expect our capital expenditures to continue to be significant in the foreseeable future as we expand our business. We expect to expend capital with significant outlays directed towards servicing our operations. The fact that we have a limited operating history with respect to the agri-foods and farming operations business means we have limited historical data on the demand for our services. As a result, our capital requirements are uncertain and actual capital requirements may be different from those we currently anticipate. In addition, new opportunities for growth in future product lines and markets may arise and may require additional capital.

 

10

 

 

As of September 30, 2025, our principal source of liquidity is our cash balance in the amount of approximately $2.3 million. We entered into the SEPA whereby we will have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to YA II up to $50.0 million of our shares of common stock. However, our right to sell shares under the SEPA is subject to certain conditions that may not be satisfied. Accordingly, we may not be able to utilize this facility to raise additional capital when, or in the amounts, we may require. In addition, under the SEPA, we have received $5.0 in Pre-Paid Advance. The Pre-Paid Advances were made in the form of Convertible Notes. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, the Convertible Notes may be declared immediately due and payable, in which case the Company shall pay to YA II the principal and interest due thereunder. If any time (i) the daily VWAP is less than the Floor Price for five trading days during a period of seven consecutive trading days (“Floor Price Event”), or (ii) the Company has issued in excess of 99% of the shares of common stock available under the Exchange Cap (“Exchange Cap Event” and collectively with the Floor Price Event, the “Amortization Event”)), then we shall make monthly payments to YA II beginning on the seventh trading day after the Amortization Event and continuing monthly in the amount of $750,000 plus a 5.0% premium and accrued and unpaid interest. The Exchange Cap Event will not apply in the event we have obtained the approval from our stockholders in accordance with the rules of Nasdaq Stock Market for the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the transactions contemplated in the Convertible Note and the SEPA in excess of 19.99% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the effective date of the SEPA (the “Exchange Cap”). Any debt we incur from YA II or other parties could make us more vulnerable to a downturn in our operating results or a downturn in economic conditions. If our cash flow from operations is insufficient to meet any debt service requirements including the repayment of the Convertible Notes in the event of a Amortization Event, we could be required to refinance our obligations, or dispose of assets in order to meet debt service requirements.

 

As an early-stage growth company, our ability to access capital is critical. We expect that we will need to raise additional capital in order to continue to execute our business plans in the future, and we plan to use the SEPA, if the conditions for its use are satisfied and seek additional equity and/or debt financing, including by offering additional equity, and/or equity-linked securities, through one or more credit facilities and potentially by offering debt securities, to finance a portion of our future expenditures.

 

The sale of additional equity or equity-linked securities could dilute our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations or our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders. Our ability to obtain the necessary additional financing to carry out our business plans or to refinance, if necessary, any outstanding debt when due is subject to a number of factors, including general market conditions and investor acceptance of our business model. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms and conditions of such financing unattractive or unavailable to us. If we are unable to raise sufficient funds on favorable terms, we may have to significantly reduce our spending, delay or cancel our planned activities or substantially change our corporate structure. We might not be able to obtain any such funding or we might not have sufficient resources to conduct our business as projected, both of which could mean that we would be forced to curtail or discontinue our operations and our prospects, financial consolidated results of operations could be materially adversely affected, in which case our investors could lose some or all of their investment.

 

Management will have broad discretion as to the use of the proceeds from the SEPA, and uses may not improve our financial condition or market value.

 

Because we have not designated the amount of net proceeds from the SEPA to be used for any particular purpose, our management will have broad discretion as to the application of such proceeds. Our management may use the proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes that may not improve our financial condition or advance our business objectives.

Risks Relating to Our Operations

 

Failure to Redeem Public Shares as Required by Bannix Acquisition Corp.’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation May Subject Us to Legal, Regulatory, and Reputational Risks

  

Bannix Acquisition Corp.’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, in effect from March 10, 2025, through the consummation of the Business Combination on July 14, 2025, required that if an initial business combination was not completed by June 14, 2025, Bannix Acquisition Corp. would redeem all public offering shares no later than June 27, 2025 (ten business days thereafter). However, Bannix Acquisition Corp. did not redeem the remaining public offering shares as required, and the Business Combination was subsequently consummated on July 14, 2025. This failure to redeem was inconsistent with disclosures in the prospectus for Bannix Acquisition Corp.’s initial public offering, filed on September 14, 2021, and the combined prospectus and proxy statement for the Business Combination, which stated that if an initial business combination was not completed by the applicable deadline, Bannix Acquisition Corp. would cease operations except for winding up, redeem all public shares, and liquidate and dissolve, subject to applicable law.

 

This non-compliance may expose the Company to significant risks, including:

 

Potential Stockholder Litigation: Stockholders may initiate lawsuits alleging breaches of fiduciary duties by our directors or officers or violations of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Such litigation could result in substantial costs, divert management’s attention, and lead to monetary damages or other remedies that could adversely affect our financial condition and operations.

 

Regulatory Scrutiny or Enforcement Actions: The failure to redeem public shares as required may attract scrutiny or enforcement actions from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or other regulatory authorities. Such actions could result in fines, penalties, or other sanctions, which could materially impact our financial position and ability to operate as a public company.

 

Reputational Harm: The failure to adhere to the terms of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation and prior disclosures may damage our reputation with investors, analysts, and other stakeholders. This could impair our ability to attract investment, form strategic partnerships, or maintain confidence in our management and governance practices.

 

Impact on Nasdaq Listing: Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “VWAV.” Non-compliance with our governing documents or prior disclosures could jeopardize our ability to maintain our listing if Nasdaq determines that such actions reflect adversely on our governance or compliance with listing standards. Delisting could significantly reduce the liquidity and marketability of our securities, depress our stock price, and limit our access to capital markets.

 

Capital Market Access: The perceived or actual failure to comply with our obligations may reduce investor confidence, making it more difficult or costly to raise capital through equity or debt offerings in the future. This could limit our ability to fund operations, pursue growth opportunities, or meet our financial obligations, including those under the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (SEPA) or Convertible Notes.

 

These risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and stock price. While we believe the consummation of the Business Combination aligns with our strategic objectives, there can be no assurance that these risks will not materialize or that we will successfully mitigate their impact.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

 

VisionWave is an early-stage company. If we cannot raise sufficient funds, we will not succeed.

 

VisionWave is a startup and VisionWave Technologies, our wholly owned subsidiary, was founded in March 2024. There is no assurance that VisionWave will ever be profitable or generate sufficient revenue to pay dividends to the holders of its securities. VisionWave does not believe it will be able to generate revenues without successfully developing its technology, which involves substantial risk. As a result, VisionWave is dependent upon the proceeds of additional capital to continue the testing and development and other operations. VisionWave’s business will require significant additional capital infusions. VisionWave will need an additional $29 million in capital over the next 12 months to fully implement its proposed business plan. If planned operating levels are changed, higher operating costs or working capital requirements encountered, lower sales revenue received, if any, or more time is needed to implement the plan, more funds than currently anticipated may be required. Additional difficulties may be encountered during this early stage of development, such as unanticipated problems relating to development, testing, vendor manufacturing costs, production and assembly, and the competitive and regulatory environments in which VisionWave operates. If additional capital is not available when required, if at all, or is not available on acceptable terms, VisionWave may be forced to modify or abandon its business plan, which may result in investors losing their investments.

 

The development and production development period for the drones and imaging technology will be lengthy.

 

Even if it meets the development and production development schedule, VisionWave does not expect to commence selling its products commercially including the drones and imaging technology (the “VisionWave Products”) until December 2026 at the earliest. Further, the highly specialized nature of VisionWave’s products and its assimilated artificial intelligence (AI) technology poses risks of unforeseen technical challenges that could delay or impede product development, commercialization, or deployment. The use of AI and advanced detection systems in defense applications is subject to evolving regulatory requirements and compliance standards. Changes in these regulations could impact VisionWave’s ability to commercialize its products. As a result, the receipt of significant cash receipts from customer deposits and revenue, if any, is not anticipated until around that time and may occur later than projected. The VisionWave depends on receiving large amounts of capital and other financing to complete its development work, with no assurance that VisionWave will be successful in completing its development work or becoming profitable.

 

VisionWave will face significant market competition.

 

VisionWave Products potentially competes with a variety of drones and software packages in the United States and abroad. Further, VisionWave could face competition from competitors of whom VisionWave is not aware that have developed or are developing technologies that will offer alternatives to VisionWave Products. Many existing potential competitors are well-established, have or may have longer-standing relationships with customers and potential business partners, have or may have greater name recognition, and have or may have access to significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources.

 

Scaling up manufacturing will be a challenge and any issues faced in such efforts may negatively impact our results of operations.

 

Drone technology as well as the related operational software technology in general is changing rapidly. There is significant development and investment into each of these areas being made today. Such rapidly changing technology conditions may adversely affect our ability to continuously remain a market leader, provide superior product performance, and an outstanding customer experience. If we are unable to control the cost of development, cost of manufacturing, and cost of operations, we may be substantially affected. If we are unable to maintain substantially lower cost of manufacturing, developing, design, distributing, and maintaining our products, we may incur significant cost increases which can be material to the operation of our business. We have made, and will continue to make, substantial investments into the development of the VisionWave Products, such investments may have unforeseen costs that we have been unable to accurately predict, which may significantly impact our ability to execute our business as planned. We will face significant costs in development and purchasing of materials required to build the VisionWave Products through external third parties. These purchases are subject to conditions outside of our control and as such, these conditions may substantially affect our business, product, brand, operational, and financial goals.

 

13

 

 

We rely on single suppliers and international suppliers for certain items used in our manufacturing.

 

VisionWave, when production commences of the VisionWave Products, will use raw materials, components, and sub-assemblies to manufacture its drones that are sourced from various vendors, including those in countries outside the U.S. Components are expected to be supplied from vendors in China. Items sourced internationally potentially carry increased risk to the business, including higher shipping costs, uncertain tariff and tax structures, longer lead times, language barriers, potential compliance and quality issues, and political instability. Additionally, once we commence manufacturing, although we will attempt to mitigate this risk, we may in certain circumstances rely on a single supplier and manufacturer which will pose risks of shortages, price increases, changes, delay and other issues that could disrupt and adversely affect our business. If any of these companies ceases supplying and/or serving us, we would have to find and qualify alternate suppliers. Additionally, if there are general supply chain disruptions due to global economic events, we may not be able to produce the VisionWave Products if the raw materials, components, and sub-assemblies needed are not available to us.

 

Operations could be adversely affected by interruptions of production that are beyond our control.

 

We intend to manufacture the VisionWave Products using systems, components and parts developed and manufactured by third-party suppliers. Our eventual manufacturing could be affected by interruptions of production at such suppliers. Such suppliers may be subject to additional risks such as financial problems that limit their ability to conduct their operations. If any of these third parties experience difficulties, it may have a direct negative impact on VisionWave.

 

We depend on key personnel.

 

Our future success depends on the efforts of key personnel, including Noam Kenig, our Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Directors, Douglas Davis, our Executive Chairman, and the balance of our senior executive team. We do not currently carry any key man life insurance on our key personnel or senior executive team. However, the Company may obtain such insurance at some point after closing of the Business Combination. Regardless of such insurance, the loss of services of any of these or other key personnel may have an adverse effect on VisionWave. There can be no assurance that VisionWave will be successful in attracting and retaining the personnel VisionWave requires to develop and market the proposed VisionWave Products.

 

We will require intellectual property protection and may be subject to the intellectual property claims of others.

 

Our intellectual property consists of six granted patents. In addition, VisionWave’s intellectual property relies on licenses to three patents. VisionWave intends to seek copyright and patent protection for these items; however, there is no guarantee that such the VisionWave will be successful in obtaining such protection. If we fail to successfully enforce our proprietary technology or otherwise maintain the proprietary nature of the intellectual property used in the VisionWave Products, our competitive position could suffer. Furthermore, VisionWave’s competitive advantage relies heavily on its proprietary artificial intelligence algorithms. Any failure to adequately protect its intellectual property could significantly impact the VisionWave’s business and market position. Disputes or termination of licensing agreements could adversely affect its business. Notwithstanding VisionWave’s efforts to protect our intellectual property, our competitors may independently develop similar or alternative technologies or products that are equal to or superior to VisionWave’s Products without infringing on any of VisionWave’s intellectual property rights or design around our proprietary technologies. There is no guarantee that the USPTO will issue patents to VisionWave or that any court will rule in VisionWave’s favor in the event of a dispute related to its intellectual property. In the absence of further patent protection, it may be more difficult for VisionWave to achieve commercial production of the VisionWave Products.

 

14

 

 

 Confidentiality agreements may not adequately prevent disclosure of trade secrets and other proprietary information.

 

We anticipate that a substantial amount of our processes and technologies will be protected by trade secret laws. To protect these technologies and processes, we intend to rely in part on confidentiality agreements with our employees, licensees, independent contractors and other advisors. These agreements may not effectively prevent disclosure of confidential information, including trade secrets, and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. In addition, others may independently discover our trade secrets and proprietary information, and in such cases, we could not assert any trade secret rights against such parties. To the extent that our employees, contractors or other third parties with which we do business use intellectual property owned by others in their work for us, disputes may arise as to the rights in related or resulting know-how and inventions. Laws regarding trade secret rights in certain markets in which we operate may afford little or no protection to our trade secrets. The loss of trade secret protection could make it easier for third parties to compete with our products and related future products and services by copying functionality, among other things. In addition, any changes in, or unexpected interpretations of, the trade secret and other intellectual property laws in any country in which we operate may compromise our ability to enforce our trade secret and intellectual property rights. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary rights, and failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could adversely affect our business, revenue, reputation and competitive position.

 

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are exempt from certain disclosure requirements, which could make our Common Stock less attractive to the potential investors.

 

Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act defines a “smaller reporting company” as an issuer that is not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent that is not a smaller reporting company and that:

 

  had a public float of less than $250 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter, computed by multiplying the aggregate worldwide number of shares of its voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates by the price at which the common equity was last sold, or the average of the bid and asked prices of common equity, in the principal market for the common equity; or

 

  in the case of an initial registration statement under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which we refer to as the Exchange Act, for shares of its common equity, had a public float of less than $250 million as of a date within 30 days of the date of the filing of the registration statement, computed by multiplying the aggregate worldwide number of such shares held by non-affiliates before the registration plus, in the case of a Securities Act registration statement, the number of such shares included in the registration statement by the estimated public offering price of the shares; or
     
  in the case of an issuer whose public float as calculated under paragraph (1) or (2) of this definition was zero, had annual revenues of less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year for which audited financial statements are available.

 

As a smaller reporting company, we will not be required and may not include a Compensation Discussion and Analysis section in our proxy statements; we will provide only two years of financial statements; and we need not provide the table of selected financial data. We also will have other “scaled” disclosure requirements that are less comprehensive than issuers that are not smaller reporting companies which could make our Common Stock less attractive to potential investors, which could make it more difficult for our stockholders to sell their shares.

 

15

 

 

We are an emerging growth company and subject to less rigorous public reporting requirements and cannot be certain if the reduced reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our Common Stock less attractive to investors.

 

We are a public reporting company under the Exchange Act, and thereafter publicly report on an ongoing basis as an “emerging growth company” (as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, which we refer to as the JOBS Act) under the reporting rules set forth under the Exchange Act. For so long as we remain an “emerging growth company”, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other Exchange Act reporting companies that are not “emerging growth companies”, including but not limited to:

 

  Not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
     
  Taking advantage of extensions of time to comply with certain new or revised financial accounting standards;
     
  Being permitted to comply with reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and
     
  Being exempt from the requirement to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensations and stockholder approval of a golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

We expect to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier, including if the market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million, if we issue $1 billion or more in non-convertible debt during a three-year period, or if our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion. We would cease to be an emerging growth company on the last day of the fiscal year following the date of the fifth anniversary of our first sale of common equity securities under an effective registration statement or a fiscal year in which we have $1 billion in gross revenues. Finally, at any time we may choose to opt-out of the emerging growth company reporting requirements. If we choose to opt out, we will be unable to opt back in to being an emerging growth company.

 

We cannot predict if investors will find our Common Stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Common Stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Common Stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

 

As an emerging growth company, our auditor is not required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls.

 

Our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting while we are an emerging growth company. This means that the effectiveness of our financial operations may differ from our peer companies in that they may be required to obtain independent registered public accounting firm attestations as to the effectiveness of their internal controls over financial reporting and we are not. While our management will be required to attest to internal control over financial reporting and we will be required to detail changes to our internal controls on a quarterly basis, we cannot provide assurance that the independent registered public accounting firm’s review process in assessing the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, if obtained, would not find one or more material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Further, once we cease to be an emerging growth company, we will be subject to independent registered public accounting firm attestation regarding the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. Even if management finds such controls to be effective, our independent registered public accounting firm may decline to attest to the effectiveness of such internal controls and issue a qualified report.

 

16

 

 

As a public company, we will incur significant increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives.

 

As a public company, we have incurred significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. In addition, the rules of the SEC and those of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ “), NASDAQ Capital Market has imposed various requirements on public companies including requiring establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations have increased and will continue to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costlier. For example, we expect that these rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, which could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we will incur as a public company or the timing of such costs.

 

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. In particular, we must perform system and process evaluation and testing of our internal control over financial reporting to allow management to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In addition, we will be required to have our independent registered public accounting firm attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting the later of our second annual report on Form 10-K or the first annual report on Form 10-K following the date on which we are no longer an emerging growth company. Our compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act will require that we incur substantial accounting expense and expend significant management efforts. We currently do not have an internal audit group, and we will need to hire additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge. If we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner, or if we or our independent registered public accounting firm identify deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, the market price of our stock could decline and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the exchange we are listed on, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources.

 

Our ability to successfully implement our business plan and comply with Section 404 requires us to be able to prepare timely and accurate financial statements. We expect that we will need to continue to improve existing, and implement new operational and financial systems, procedures and controls to manage our business effectively. Any delay in the implementation of, or disruption in the transition to, new or enhanced systems, procedures or controls, may cause our operations to suffer and we may be unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective and to obtain an unqualified report on internal controls from our auditors as required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. This, in turn, could have an adverse impact on trading prices for our common stock, and could adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets.

 

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative, low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. The FINRA requirements may make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our Common Stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in our Common Stock. As a result, fewer broker-dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, reducing a stockholder’s ability to resell shares of our Common Stock.

 

17

 

 

Our stock price may be volatile.

 

The market price of our Common Stock has been highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various potential factors, many of which will be beyond our control, including the following:

 

  services by us or our competitors;
     
  additions or departures of key personnel;
     
  our ability to execute our business plan;
     
  operating results that fall below expectations;
     
  loss of any strategic relationship;
     
  industry developments;
     
  economic and other external factors; and
     
  period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results.

 

In addition, the securities markets have from time-to-time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or publish negative reports about our business, our share price and trading volume could decline.

 

The trading market for our common stock will, to some extent, depends on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. We do not have any control over these analysts. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our shares or change their opinion of our shares, our share price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our share price or trading volume to decline.

 

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, which could reduce the attractiveness of our stock to some investors.

 

We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance the operation and expansion of our business, and we do not expect to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, you may only receive a return on your investment in our common stock if the market price of our common stock increases. In addition, we may incur debt financing to further finance our operations, the governing documents of which may contain restrictions on our ability to pay dividends.

 

If we are unable to maintain listing of our securities on the NASDAQ Global Market or another reputable stock exchange, it may be more difficult for our stockholders to sell their securities.

 

NASDAQ requires listing issuers to comply with certain standards in order to remain listed on its exchange. If, for any reason, NASDAQ should delist our securities from trading on its exchange and we are unable to obtain listing on another reputable national securities exchange, a reduction in some or all of the following may occur, each of which could materially adversely affect our stockholders.

 

18

 

 

If our shares of Common Stock become subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade our shares.

 

The Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price per share of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized for quotation on certain automated quotation systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. If we do not obtain or retain a listing on the NYSE American or NASDAQ Capital Market and if the price of our Common Stock is less than $5.00 per share, our Common Stock will be deemed a penny stock. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before effecting a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document containing specified information. In addition, the penny stock rules require that, before effecting any such transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive; (i) the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our Common Stock, and therefore stockholders may have difficulty selling their shares.

 

Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Delaware law may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our Company and, therefore, may depress the trading price of our stock.

 

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain certain provisions that may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control that our stockholders may consider favorable. These provisions:

 

  prohibit stockholder action to elect or remove directors by majority written consent;
     
  provide that the board of directors is expressly authorized to make, alter or repeal our bylaws;
     
  prohibit our stockholders from calling a special meeting of stockholders; and
     
  establish advance notice requirements for nominations for elections to our board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at stockholder meetings.

 

We may be subject to securities litigation, which is expensive and could divert management attention.

 

In the past companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Litigation of this type could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could seriously hurt our business. Any adverse determination in litigation could also subject us to significant liabilities.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

This prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by YA II. All of the common stock offered by YA II pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by YA II for its own account. We will not receive any of the proceeds from these sales.

 

On July 25, 2025, we entered into the SEPA with YA II. Under the SEPA, we agreed to issue and sell to YA II, from time to time, and YA II agreed to purchase from us, up to $50.0 million of our common stock. We shall not affect any sales under the SEPA and YA II shall not have any obligation to purchase shares of common stock under the SEPA to the extent that after giving effect to such purchase and sale YA II would exceed the Ownership Limitation or the Exchange Cap. Thus, we may not have access to the right to sell the full $50.0 million of shares of common stock to YA II.

 

In connection with the SEPA, and subject to the condition set forth therein, YA II has agreed to advance us the Pre-Paid Advance which shall be evidenced by the Convertible Notes to be issued to YA II at a purchase price equal to 94.0% of the principal amount of each Pre-Paid Advance. On July 22, 2025, YA II advanced the first Pre-Paid Advance to us in the principal amount of $3.0 million and we issued a Convertible Note to YA II in the principal amount of $3.0 million. The balance of $2.0 million of the Pre-Paid Advance was advanced on September 11, 2025. The purchase price for each Convertible Note representing a Pre-Paid Advance is 94.0% of the principal amount of the Pre-Paid Advance. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding balance of any Convertible Note at an annual rate equal to 6.0%, subject to an increase to 18% upon an event of default as described in the Convertible Notes. The maturity date of each Convertible Note is 12-months after the issuance of each note. YA II may convert the Convertible Notes into shares of our common stock at the Conversion Price, which in no event may the Conversion Price be lower than the Floor Price.

 

We expect to use any proceeds that we receive under the SEPA for working capital and general corporate purposes. As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses, and the respective amounts we may allocate to those uses, for any net proceeds we receive. Accordingly, we will retain broad discretion over the use of these proceeds.

Recent Developments

 

Recapitalization

 

On March 26, 2024, the Company, VisionWave Technologies Inc., a Nevada corporation (“VW Tech”), and the shareholders of VisionWave (the “VW Tech Shareholder”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions precedent in the Business Combination Agreement, Bannix Acquisition Corp (“Bannix”) will acquire all of the issued and outstanding share capital of VW Tech from the VW Tech Shareholders, pursuant to which the Company will become a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Bannix (the “Share Acquisition”) and (b) the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the Ancillary Documents referred to therein (collectively, the “Transactions”).

 

Pursuant to and in accordance with the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, (a) Parent Merger Sub merged with and into Bannix, with Bannix continuing as the surviving entity (the “Parent Merger”), as a result of which, (i) Bannix became a wholly owned subsidiary of VW Holdings, and (ii) each issued and outstanding share of Bannix immediately prior to the effective time of the Parent Merger (the “Parent Merger Effective Time”) (other than shares of Bannix Common Stock that have been redeemed or are owned by Bannix or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries as treasury shares and any Dissenting Parent Shares) was automatically cancelled in exchange for one share of common stock, par value $0.001 of VW Holdings, each Bannix Warrant automatically converted into one warrant to purchase shares of VW Holdings Common Stock on substantially the same terms and conditions and each Bannix Right automatically converted into the number of shares of VW Tech Common Stock that would have been received by the holder of such Bannix Right if it had been converted upon the consummation of a Business Combination in accordance with Bannix’s organizational document and, (b) immediately following the consummation of the Parent Merger but on the same day, Company Merger Sub merged with and into Target, with Target continuing as the surviving entity (the “Company Merger” and, together with the Parent Merger, the “Mergers”), as a result of which, (i) Target became a wholly owned subsidiary of VW Holdings, and (ii) each issued and outstanding security of Target immediately prior to the effective time of the Company Merger (the “Company Merger Effective Time”) (other than any cancelled Shares or dissenting shares) were no longer be outstanding and were automatically cancelled in exchange for the issuance to the holder thereof of a substantially equivalent security of VW Holdings. The Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Reverse Acquisition.”

 

22

 

 

The Merger Agreement contained representations, warranties and covenants of each of the parties thereto that are customary for transactions of this type, including, among others, covenants providing for (i) certain limitations on the operation of the parties’ respective businesses prior to consummation of the Business Combination, (ii) the parties’ efforts to satisfy conditions to consummation of the Business Combination, including by obtaining any necessary approvals from governmental agencies, (iii) prohibitions on the parties soliciting alternative transactions, (iv) VW Holdings preparing and filing a registration statement on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and taking certain other actions to obtain the requisite approval of Bannix’s stockholders to vote in favor of certain matters, including the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Business Combination, at a special meeting to be called for the approval of such matters, and (v) the protection of, and access to, confidential information of the parties. On May 5, 2025, the SEC declared the Company’s registration statement on Form S-4 to be effective.

 

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Bannix, who is the legal acquirer, was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes and VisionWave Technologies Inc. was treated as the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of a capital transaction in which VisionWave technologies Inc. is issuing stock for the net assets of Bannix. The net assets of Bannix will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Reverse Recapitalization will be those of VisionWave Technologies, Inc.

 

On July 14, 2025, the Company closed on its proposed Business Combination and liquidated its Trust Account. In association with the liquidation of the Trust Account, stockholders redeeming their shares of common stock at the May 2025 Special Meeting were paid for their redeeming shares.

 

As a result of the Business Combination, all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Bannix (“Bannix Common Stock”) were cancelled in exchange for the right to receive a pro-rata portion of 2,540,324 shares of common stock of VW Tech (“VW Tech Common Stock”). Each issued and outstanding security of Bannix immediately prior to the Parent Merger Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled in exchange for the issuance to the holder thereof of a substantially equivalent security of VW Tech.

 

The 6,900,000 Public Warrants issued at the time of Bannix’s initial public offering, and 406,000 warrants issued in connection with private placement at the time of Bannix’s initial public offering (the “Private Placement Warrants”) remained outstanding and became warrants for the Company.

 

Securities Purchase Agreement

 

On July 15, 2025, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (the “July 2025 SPAs”) with two unaffiliated accredited investors (“July 2025 Lenders”), pursuant to which the Company issued promissory notes (the “July 2025 Notes”) to the July 2025 Lenders in the aggregate principal amount of $354,200, which includes an aggregate original issue discount of $46,200, for a purchase price of $308,000. The Company incurred an additional $8,000 in fees related to this transaction which is capitalized as part of the debt issuance cost and amortized over the term of the July 2025 Notes. The July 2025 Notes bear interest at a one-time charge of 12% applied on the issuance date, mature on May 15, 2026, and is repayable in five monthly payments commencing January 15, 2026. The July 2025 Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), solely upon an event of default, at a conversion price equal to 75% of the lowest trading price during the ten trading days prior to conversion. The Company also entered into an irrevocable transfer agent instructions letter with its transfer agent in connection with the July 2025 Notes. The proceeds from the issuances of the July 2025 Notes will be used for general working capital purposes. The July 2025 Lenders have piggyback registration rights and have agreed not to engage in short sales of the Company’s common stock during the term of the July 2025 Notes. The July 2025 Notes include customary representations, warranties, covenants, and default provisions. The Company may prepay the July 2025 Notes within the first 180 days. The loan pursuant to the July 2025 Notes closed and funded on July 17, 2025.

 

Standby Equity Purchase Agreement and Pre Paid Advance

 

On July 25, 2025, the Company entered into the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”) with YA II PN, LTD, a Cayman Islands exempt limited partnership (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to the Investor up to $50 million of its shares of common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA, from time to time during the term of the SEPA, from time to time during the term of the SEPA.

 

23

 

 

Upon the satisfaction of the conditions to the Investor’s purchase obligation set forth in the SEPA, including having a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable under the SEPA declared effective by the SEC, the Company will have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at its discretion until the SEPA is terminated to direct Investor to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock (“Advance”) by delivering written notice to Investor (“Advance Notice”). While there is no mandatory minimum amount for any Advance, it may not exceed an amount equal to 100% of the average of the daily traded amount during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding an Advance Notice.

 

The shares of common stock purchased pursuant to an Advance delivered by the Company will be purchased at a price equal to 97% of the lowest daily VWAP of the shares of common stock during the three consecutive trading days commencing on the date of the delivery of the Advance Notice, other than the daily VWAP on a day in which the daily VWAP is less than a minimum acceptable price as stated by the Company in the Advance Notice or there is no VWAP on the subject trading day. The Company may establish a minimum acceptable price in each Advance Notice below which the Company will not be obligated to make any sales to Investor. “VWAP” is defined as the daily volume weighted average price of the shares of common stock for such trading day on the Nasdaq Stock Market during regular trading hours as reported by Bloomberg L.P.

 

In connection with the SEPA, and subject to the condition set forth therein, Investor advanced to the Company in the form of convertible promissory notes (the “Convertible Notes”) an aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million (the “Pre-Paid Advance”). The first Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed on July 25, 2025 with respect to $3.0 million and the balance of $2.0 million was disbursed on September 11, 2025 upon the registration statement registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable under the SEPA being declared effective. The purchase price for the Pre-Paid Advance is 94% of the principal amount of the Pre-Paid Advance. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding balance of any Pre-Paid Advance at an annual rate equal to 6.0%, subject to an increase to 18% upon an event of default as described in the Convertible Notes. The maturity date is 12-months after the closing of each tranche of the Pre-Paid Advance. The Investor may convert the Convertible Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of $10.00 or 93% of the lowest daily VWAP during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion (the “Conversion Price”), which in no event may the Conversion Price be lower than $1.00 (the “Floor Price”). In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, the Convertible Notes shall become immediately due and payable and the Company shall pay to the Investor the principal and interest due thereunder. In no event shall Investor be allowed to effect a conversion if such conversion, along with all other shares of common stock beneficially owned by Investor and its affiliates would exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company. If any time on or after the issuance of the Convertible Notes (i) the daily VWAP is less than the Floor Price for five trading days during a period of seven consecutive trading days (“Floor Price Trigger”), or (ii) the Company has issued in excess of 99% of the shares of common stock available under the Exchange Cap, where applicable ( “Exchange Cap Trigger” and collectively with the Floor Price Trigger, the “Trigger”), then the Company shall make monthly payments to Investor beginning on the seventh trading day after the Trigger and continuing monthly in the amount of $750,000 plus an 5.0% premium and accrued and unpaid interest. The Exchange Cap Trigger will not apply in the event the Company has obtained the approval from its stockholders in accordance with the rules of Nasdaq Stock Market for the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the transactions contemplated in the Convertible Note and the SEPA in excess of 19.99% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the effective date of the SEPA (the “Exchange Cap”).

 

The Investor, in its sole discretion and providing that there is a balance remaining outstanding under the Convertible Notes, may deliver a notice under the SEPA requiring the issuance and sale of shares of common stock to the Investor at the Conversion Price in consideration of an offset of the Convertible Notes (“Investor Advance”). The Investor, in its sole discretion, may select the amount of any Pre-Paid Advance, provided that the number of shares issued does not cause the Investor to exceed the 4.99% ownership limitation, does not exceed the Exchange Cap or the number of shares of common stock that are registered. As a result of a Pre-Paid Advance, the amounts payable under the Convertible Notes will be offset by such amount subject to each Investor Advance.

 

The Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of shares of common stock to the Investor, except with respect to the Pre-Paid Advances. Actual sales of shares of common stock to the Investor as a Pre-Paid Advance under the SEPA will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, which may include, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriate sources of funding for our business and operations.

 

24

 

 

The SEPA will automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the 24-month anniversary of the date of the SEPA or (ii) the date on which the Investor shall have made payment of Advances pursuant to the SEPA for shares of common stock equal to $50,000,000. The Company has the right to terminate the SEPA at no cost or penalty upon five (5) trading days’ prior written notice to the Investor, provided that there are no outstanding Advance Notices for which shares of common stock need to be issued and the Company has paid all amounts owed to the Investor pursuant to the Convertible Notes. The Company and the Investor may also agree to terminate the SEPA by mutual written consent. Neither the Company nor the Investor may assign or transfer our respective rights and obligations under the SEPA, and no provision of the SEPA may be modified or waived by us or Investor other than by an instrument in writing signed by both parties.

 

As consideration for the Investor’s commitment to purchase the shares of common stock pursuant the SEPA, the Company paid the Investor, (i) a structuring fee in the amount of $30,000 and (ii) 200,000 shares of common stock as an equity fee. Further, the Company is required to pay Investor a commitment fee of $500,000 of which $250,000 shall be due and payable on the earlier of the effective date of the initial registration statement, or 60 days following the date hereof and the remaining $250,000 shall be due and payable on the date that is 90 days following the initial due date to be paid by the issuance of such number of common shares that is equal to the applicable portion of the commitment fee divided by the average of the daily VWAPs of the common shares during the three trading days immediately prior to the applicable due date.

 

The SEPA contains customary representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification obligations of the parties. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in such agreements were made only for purposes of such agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.

 

The net proceeds under the SEPA to the Company will depend on the frequency and prices at which the Company sells its shares of common stock to Investor. The Company expects that any proceeds received from such sales to Investor will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

On September 11, 2025, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with YA II PN, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempt limited partnership (the “Investor”), pursuant to the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 25, 2025 (as may be amended, amended and restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified in writing from time to time, the “SEPA”), between the Company and the Investor.

 

Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Investor advanced the second tranche of the Pre-Paid Advance in a principal amount of $2,000,000 (the “Second Pre-Paid Advance”) on September 11, 2025, in connection with the issuance by the Company of a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $2,000,000 (the “Second Note”). The Investor waived the condition precedent set forth in the SEPA relating to the effectiveness of a registration statement for the Second Pre-Paid Advance. The purchase price for the Second Note is $1,880,000 (94% of the principal amount, reflecting a 6% discount).

 

The Second Note has a maturity date of September 11, 2026 (as may be extended at the option of the Investor). Interest accrues on the outstanding principal balance at an annual rate of 6%, which increases to 18% upon the occurrence of an event of default (for so long as such event remains uncured). Interest is calculated based on a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

 

The Second Note is convertible at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), at the lower of (i) $10.00 per share (the “Fixed Price”) or (ii) 93% of the lowest daily VWAP during the 5 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion date (the “Variable Price”), but not lower than the floor price of $1.00 per share (adjustable downwards to 20% of the average VWAP for the five trading days prior to the earlier of the Registration Statement effectiveness or the six-month anniversary of the SEPA date, or further reduced by the Company). The Fixed Price resets downwards on the 30-day anniversary of a merger transaction to the average VWAP for the five trading days prior. Conversions are subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation and the Exchange Cap (19.99% of outstanding shares without stockholder approval). The Second Note includes customary events of default, representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnification provisions. Upon an event of default, the Investor may accelerate the note or convert at the conversion price. The Company may not engage in variable rate transactions while the Second Note is outstanding, subject to exceptions.

 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan

 

On August 5, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company adopted the Company’s 2025 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which authorizes the issuance of up to 7,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”).

Each Employment Agreement has an initial term of three (3) years, commencing on September 2, 2025, and is subject to automatic one-year renewals thereafter unless terminated by either party with at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice.

 

Revision to Board Members

 

On September 9, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company approved Independent Director Agreements (each, an “Director Agreement”) with Eric Shuss, Chuck Hansen, and Haggai Ravid, pursuant to which each will serve as an independent director of the Company.

 

Under the terms of each Director Agreement, the independent director will receive:

  

  An annual cash retainer of $36,000, payable quarterly, and $10,000 per annum for serving as the audit committee chair, $5,000 for compensation committee chair and the governance committee chair;

 

  Reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with Board service; and

 

  An annual equity grant under the Company’s 2024 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) with a grant date fair value of $60,000, consisting of restricted stock vesting in full after one year of service.

 

As a result of the above, the Company issued 5,245 shares of common stock to Messrs Shuss, Hansen and Ravid for their service in 2025. The Director Agreements also include standard provisions regarding indemnification, confidentiality, and compliance with applicable laws and Company policies. Each Director Agreement has an initial term of one year, subject to renewal upon mutual agreement or election at the annual stockholder meeting.

 

Further, as compensation for his service as a director prior to the Business Combination with Bannix Acquisition Corp. (“Bannix”), the Company entered into Compensation Agreements (each, a “Compensation Agreement”) with Mr. Shuss and two other former directors who served as an independent director on the Board of Directors of Bannix from October 2022 until July 2025. Pursuant to the Compensation Agreement, effective as of September 9, 2025, Mr. Shuss will receive a one-time lump sum compensation of $150,000, payable in cash, fully vested shares of the Company’s common stock issued under the Company’s Plan, or a combination thereof, at Mr. Shuss’ election. If shares are elected, the number of shares will be determined by dividing the elected portion by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market immediately prior to the effective date of the Compensation Agreement. Mr. Shuss has elected to receive 6,556 shares of common stock using a closing price of $11.44 as of September 8, 2025. The shares will be fully vested upon issuance but subject to resale restrictions under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

On December 15, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Solar Drone Agreement to provide that, in consideration for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Solar Drone, the Company shall issue and deliver to BladeRanger (or its designee(s)) 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Company Shares”) and 300,000 Pre-Funded Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Initial PFWs”). Further, the Company has agreed that if the average daily volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock for the five Trading Day period immediately preceding the date of effectiveness of the registration statement registering the resale of the Company Shares is less than $12.00 per share, Pre-Funded Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase a number of additional shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrant Shares”) equivalent to the difference between $21,600,000 and the aggregate value of the Company Shares based on such VWAP, such that the aggregate consideration has a value of $21,600,000.

 

On December 15, 2025, the Company completed the Solar Drone Acquisition. In consideration for 100% ownership interest in Solar Drone, the Company issued to BladeRanger the Company Shares and 300,000 Initial PFWs, and may issue additional Pre-Funded Warrants as described above. The Company Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants were issued in a private placement transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

 

Solar Drone is an Israeli corporation engaged in the development of solar-powered drone technology.

 

Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), shareholder approval may be required for the issuance of the Company Shares, Pre-Funded Warrants, and/or Warrant Shares if the total number of shares issued or issuable in connection with the Acquisition equals or exceeds 20% of the Company’s outstanding common stock or voting power prior to such issuance.

C.M. Composite Materials Ltd

 

On December 26, 2025, the Company advanced principal in the amount of $398,345 to C.M. Composite Materials Ltd., an Israeli corporation (“Composite”). In connection with the advance, Composite delivered a Promissory Note to the Company (the “Composite Note”). The Composite Note has a 24-month maturity, with the outstanding principal due and payable on December 31, 2027, unless repaid earlier. The Note does not bear interest unless an event of default occurs, in which case interest accrues at a rate of 5% per annum, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, if lower. The Composite Note may be prepaid at any time without premium or penalty. The proceeds of the Composite Note were funded on December 26, 2025. The Company has entered into a letter of intent, as amended, with Composite regarding a potential strategic transaction. Any such transaction remains subject to, among other things, completion of due diligence, negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, approval by the Company’s board of directors, receipt of a valuation and fairness opinion, and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that any such transaction will be consummated.

 

Quantum Speed IP Acquisition

 

On January 5, 2026, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Quantum Agreement”) with Adrian Holdings S.R.L., a Costa Rican company (“Adrian”). The acquisition closed on January 5, 2026.

 

28

 

 

Pursuant to the Quantum Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire from Adrian 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 Quantum Agreement.

 

In consideration for the Assigned IP, the Company agreed to pay Adrian aggregate consideration consisting of (i) 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Adrian Shares”), and (ii) a promissory note in the principal amount of $10,000,000 (the “Adrian Note”). At closing, the Company issued 3,000,000 Adrian Shares (the “Closing Shares”) and executed and delivered the Adrian 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 Adrian (or its designee) free and clear of all encumbrances (other than restrictions under applicable securities laws), (ii) Adrian’s security interest in such equity interests shall be automatically released, and (iii) Adrian shall retain full ownership of the 3,000,000 shares of common stock previously issued at Closing and the Adrian 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.

 

Joint Venture Agreement

 

On January 9, 2026, the Company entered into a Strategic Joint Venture Agreement (the “Boca Agreement”) with BOCA JOM, LLC (“BOCA”), GBT Tokenize Corp. (“TOKENIZE”), and GBT Technologies, Inc. (“GBT”). Pursuant to the Boca Agreement, the parties agreed to form a joint venture limited liability company in the State of Nevada (the “JV LLC”) for the purpose of developing, commercializing, and managing designated electronic design automation (EDA), defense, and high-security technology projects (the “Designated Projects”). Certain details regarding the Designated Projects have been omitted due to their confidential and sensitive nature.

 

JV Structure and Ownership

 

Equity interests in the JV LLC were determined using an internal reference value of $1.0 billion solely to facilitate negotiation of ownership percentages. This internal value is not a statement of the JV’s actual fair market value and was reached without the benefit of an independent third-party valuation or fairness opinion. Accordingly, stockholders and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this figure as an indication of the value of the JV, its assets, or the Company’s interest therein for securities law purposes or otherwise. Ownership of the JV LLC is expected to be allocated among the parties as set forth in the Agreement and related exhibits.

 

Contributions

  

  TOKENIZE will contribute 897,102 shares of the Company’s common stock and its intellectual property portfolio.

 

  GBT will contribute 2,020,500 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

  BOCA will contribute the Designated Projects.

 

  BOCA and the Company will each enter into non-exclusive license agreements granting the JV LLC rights to use certain background intellectual property solely for the Designated Projects.

  

All contributions of Company securities are subject to compliance with applicable securities laws and Nasdaq Listing Rules, including obtaining shareholder approval if required under Nasdaq Rule 5635.

 

29

 

 

Governance

 

The JV LLC will be governed by a three-member board, with governance and deadlock resolution mechanisms to be set forth in a separate operating agreement. TOKENIZE and GBT will not participate in management or governance of the JV LLC.

 

The Agreement provides that the Company may appoint a director to BOCA’s board. Any appointment of a BOCA designee to the Company’s board would be subject to approval by the Company’s independent directors, compliance with Nasdaq rules, and, if applicable, shareholder approval.

 

Intellectual Property

  

  Intellectual property developed by the JV LLC (“Foreground IP”) will be owned by the JV LLC.

 

  Each party retains ownership of its independently developed intellectual property.

 

  License rights terminate upon termination of the Agreement, subject to limited survival for existing customer obligations.

 

Termination and Regulatory Matters

 

The Agreement has an initial term of seven years and includes customary termination rights, including termination if required regulatory approvals (such as CFIUS or export control approvals) are denied.

 

If no Designated Project generates revenue within twelve months following formation of the JV LLC, the Agreement may be terminated and contributed consideration returned, subject to board-level fiduciary determinations.

 

The transactions contemplated by the Agreement are subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals and execution of the JV LLC operating agreement.

 

Key Financial Definitions/Components of Results

 

Operating Expenses

 

We classify our operating expenses into the following categories:

  

  General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses for our executives, consultants and advisors. These expenses also include non-personnel costs, such as office supplies, legal, audit and accounting services and other professional fees.

 

  Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses include internal personnel and third-party consulting costs related to preliminary research and development of the Company’s products.

 

  Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of business development professional fees, advertising and marketing costs.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions can be subjective and complex and may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues, and expenses reported in those financial statements. As a result, actual results could differ from such estimates and assumptions. Such changes to estimates could potentially result in impacts that would be material to the consolidated financial statements.

 

30

 

 

While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements appearing in Item 1 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we believe that the following accounting policies were most critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of VisonWave Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Significant estimates include assumptions made in the valuation of the options, valuation of convertible notes and recoverability of deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Business Combinations

 

The Company evaluates whether acquired net assets should be accounted for as a business combination or an asset acquisition by first applying a screen test to determine whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. If so, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If not, the Company applies its judgement to determine whether the acquired net assets meets the definition of a business by considering if the set includes an acquired input, process, and the ability to create outputs.

 

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when it has obtained control. The Company measures goodwill as the fair value of the consideration transferred including the fair value of any non-controlling interest recognized, less the net recognized amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, all measured at their fair value as of the acquisition date. Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issuance of debt or equity securities, that the Company incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.

 

Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. For contingent consideration that does not meet all the criteria for equity classification, such contingent consideration is required to be recorded at its initial fair value at the acquisition date, and on each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of liability-classified contingent consideration are recognized on the consolidated statements of operations in the period of change.

 

When the initial accounting for a business combination has not been finalized by the end of the reporting period in which the transaction occurs, the Company reports provisional amounts. Provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period, which does not exceed one year from the acquisition date. These adjustments, or recognition of additional assets or liabilities, reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized at that date.

 Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average shares outstanding at the end of the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of common stock to the extent dilutive. For the year ended September 30, 2025 and the period from March 20, 2024 (inception) to September 30, 2024, the Company’s diluted weighted-average shares outstanding is equal to basic weighted-average shares, due to the Company’s net loss position. No common stock equivalents were included in the computation of diluted net loss per unit since such inclusion would have been antidilutive. At September 30, 2025 and 2024, potentially dilutive securities include the public warrants and the convertible promissory notes.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which requires disclosure of incremental income tax information within the rate reconciliation and expanded disclosures of income taxes paid, among other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company’s management does not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.

 

On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (DISE), requiring additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the statements of operations. The new standard requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the statements of operations as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027.

 

The Company’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The $5,088,150 increase in general and administrative reflects increases in professional services such as legal, consulting and accounting. VW Holdings expects that its general and administrative expenses will increase in future periods commensurate with the expected growth of its business and increased expenditures associated with its status as an exchange listed public company.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and Development expenses for the year ended September 30, 2025 was $156,462 as compared to $3,650 for the period from March 20, 2024 (inception) to September 30, 2024. The $152,812 increase in research and development reflects increases in personnel and supplies related costs as the Company continues to develop its products. The Company expects that its research and development expense will increase in future periods commensurate with the expected growth of its business.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

Sales and marketing for the year ended September 30, 2025 was $1,168,108 as compared to $0 for the period from March 20, 2024 (inception) to September 30, 2024. The $1,168,108 increase in sales and marketing reflects increases in marketing such as investor awareness costs as the Company continues to develop its products. The Company expects that its sales and marketing expense will increase in future periods commensurate with the expected growth of its business.

 

Interest income

 

During the year ended September 30, 2025, the Company earned $418 in interest income on balances held in bank accounts.

 

Interest expense

 

Interest expense of $59,327 for the year ended September 30, 2025 is a mainly result of the accrual of interest on the convertible notes payable.

 

Change in fair value of convertible notes payable

 

The Company recorded a gain of $147,347 from the change in fair value of the convertible promissory note agreements issued under the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement entered into on February 25, 2025.

 

Gain on sale of marketable securities

 

The Company gained $104,656, net from sale of marketable securities during the year ended September 30, 2025.

 

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

 

The Company’s primary sources of liquidity have been cash from financing activities. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $15,108,906 as of September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, working capital deficit was $11,795,728 and cash was $2,284,933.

 

The Company received proceeds of approximately $23,846 as a result of the Reverse Acquisition in September 2025, after giving effect to stockholder redemptions and payment of transaction expenses in connection with the Reverse Acquisition. The Company received an additional $308,000 pursuant to the Securities Purchases agreement entered into on February 15, 2025 and $5,000,000 pursuant to the convertible promissory note agreements issued under the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement referenced below. The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the timing and extent of spending to support further sales and marketing and research and development efforts. In order to finance these opportunities, the Company will need to raise additional financing. While there can be no assurances, the Company intends to raise such capital through issuances of additional equity. If additional financing is required from outside sources, the Company may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.

 

On July 25, 2025, the Company entered into the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”) with YA II PN, LTD, a Cayman Islands exempt limited partnership (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to the Investor up to $50 million of its shares of common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA, from time to time during the term of the SEPA, from time to time during the term of the SEPA.

Going Concern Evaluation

 

Ordinarily, conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern relate to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due. The Company evaluated its ability to meet its obligations as they become due within one year from the date that the financial statements are issued by considering the following:

 

On April 8, 2025, with an effective date of March 31, 2025, the Company entered into a Funding Support Agreement with Stanley Hills, LLC (“Stanley Hills”), the principal shareholder of VisionWave Technologies. Pursuant to the agreement, Stanley Hills irrevocably and unconditionally committed to provide financial support to the Company, sufficient to fund the working capital needs through December 29, 2026. The funding may be provided by Stanley Hills in the form of direct payments to third parties, advances or intercompany loans, or capital contributions, as mutually determined by the parties. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, any such advances will be non-interest bearing and repayable only at such time as determined by the Board of Directors, and only to the extent such repayment would not impair the Company’s liquidity or ability to continue as a going concern. The agreement may not be terminated by Stanley Hills prior to the twelve-month period from the date of release of the financial statement.

 

Management has determined that the agreement with Stanley Hills, cash receipts from customer arrangements, resource reallocation initiatives, additional insider investments and financing, along with its existing cash and committed affiliated support related combinations alleviated the risk about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance of the financial statements.

 

Cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2025 and 2024

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the year ended September 30, 2025 and the period from March 20, 2024 (inception) to September 30, 2024:

  

    For the year ended September 30,   For the period from March 20, 2024 (inception) to September 30,
    2025   2024
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities   $ (2,837,894 )   $ 2,014  
Net cash provided by investing activities   $ 114,375     $  
Net cash provided by financing activities   $ 5,005,438     $ 1,000  

  

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $2,837,894 during the year ended September 30, 2025 compared to net cash provided operating activities of $2,014 during the period from March 20, 2024 (inception) to September 30, 2024. The period-to-period change was a result of VW Holding’s net loss for the period and increase in due to related party partially offset by the increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

 

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

 

Net cash provided by investing activities was $114,375 during the year ended September 30, 2025 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $0 during the period from March 20, 2024 (inception) to September 30, 2024.

Net Cash provided by Financing Activities

 

For the year ended September 30, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities was $5,005,438 compared to net cash flow from financing activities of $1,000 during the period from March 20, 2024 (inception) to September 30, 2024. The period-to-period change was primarily due to proceeds from issuance of convertible notes payable, the exercise of warrants and the prior to the Reverse Acquisition.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

 

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2025. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (the “Company,” “VisionWave,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a Delaware corporation formed on March 20, 2024, with principal executive offices located at 300 Delaware Avenue, Suite 210 #301, Wilmington, Delaware 19801. Our common stock trades on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “VWAV,” and our publicly traded warrants trade under the symbol “VWAVW.” We maintain a website at www.visionwave.tech, where additional information about our business can be found. The information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not incorporated by reference into, and is not a part of, this prospectus.

 

We are a technology company focused on the development and commercialization of advanced artificial intelligence (“AI”) and autonomous solutions for multi-domain operations across air, ground, and sea environments. Through our wholly owned subsidiary, VisionWave Technologies Inc. (a Nevada corporation, “VisionWave Technologies”), we design, prototype, and deploy technologies including high-resolution radars, advanced vision systems, radio frequency (“RF”) sensing innovations, unmanned aerial systems (“UAS”), unmanned ground vehicles (“UGVs”), remote weapon stations (“RWS”), and active protection systems (“APS”) for the defense industry. Our solutions target military, homeland security, and industrial applications, emphasizing real-time threat detection, autonomous response, and modular integration to enhance operational efficiency and reduce risk in contested environments.

 

Our proprietary AI engine (U.S. trademark application pending) serves as the core autonomy layer, enabling embedded, edge-based decision-making with low-latency sensor fusion, perception, and predictive control. This technology powers our product lines, which are at various stages of prototype development, pilot testing, and commercialization readiness. Products are designed to be “ready for deployment,” with manufacturing and delivery upon customer orders, supplemented by non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) efforts for customizations such as payload configurations, colors, or mission-specific adaptations.

All contributions of Company securities are subject to compliance with applicable securities laws and Nasdaq Listing Rules, including obtaining shareholder approval if required under Nasdaq Rule 5635.

 

Governance

 

The JV LLC will be governed by a three-member board, with governance and deadlock resolution mechanisms to be set forth in a separate operating agreement. TOKENIZE and GBT will not participate in management or governance of the JV LLC.

 

The Agreement provides that the Company may appoint a director to BOCA’s board. Any appointment of a BOCA designee to the Company’s board would be subject to approval by the Company’s independent directors, compliance with Nasdaq rules, and, if applicable, shareholder approval.

Intellectual Property

  

  Intellectual property developed by the JV LLC (“Foreground IP”) will be owned by the JV LLC.

 

  Each party retains ownership of its independently developed intellectual property.

 

  License rights terminate upon termination of the Agreement, subject to limited survival for existing customer obligations.

 

Termination and Regulatory Matters

 

The Agreement has an initial term of seven years and includes customary termination rights, including termination if required regulatory approvals (such as CFIUS or export control approvals) are denied.

 

If no Designated Project generates revenue within twelve months following formation of the JV LLC, the Agreement may be terminated and contributed consideration returned, subject to board-level fiduciary determinations.

 

The transactions contemplated by the Agreement are subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals and execution of the JV LLC operating agreement.

However, shifts in drone/AI landscapes could erode our position without continuous R&D investment.

 

Regulation

 

Our operations are governed by U.S. securities laws, Nasdaq listing standards (e.g., independent board majority, audit/compensation committees per Rule 10A-3), and defense-specific regulations including International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”) and evolving AI/ethical standards. We are not an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as less than 40% of assets are in securities. Cryptocurrency activities require anti-money laundering (“AML”)/know-your-customer (“KYC”) compliance and may incur a 1% excise tax on stock repurchases. No material violations occurred in 2025, with compliance costs of $450,000.

 

Human Capital

 

Our team comprises 12 employees and consultants as of September 30, 2025, with 70% in technical R&D roles. Key executives include Interim CEO and Executive Chairman Douglas Davis, CTO Danny Rittman, CFO Erik Klinger, and Senior Engineer Jaz Williman.

Family Relationships

 

There are no family relationships among any of our executive officers and directors.

 

Corporate Governance

 

Board of Directors and Board Committees

 

Our stock (symbol: VWAV) is listed on the NASDAQ Global Market. Under the rules of Nasdaq, “independent” directors must make up a majority of a listed company’s board of directors. In addition, applicable NASDAQ rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit and compensation committees be independent within the meaning of the applicable NASDAQ rules. Audit committee members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.

 

Our board of directors currently consists of 5 members. Our board of directors has determined that Eric Shuss, Chuck Hansen and Haggai Ravid qualify as independent directors in accordance with the NASDAQ Global Market, or NASDAQ listing requirements. Nasdaq’s independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least 3 years, one of our employees and that neither the director nor any of his or her family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, as required by NASDAQ rules, our board of directors has made a subjective determination as to each independent director that no relationships exist that, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In making these determinations, our board of directors reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us regarding each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management. There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.

 

As required under NASDAQ rules and regulations and in expectation of listing on NASDAQ, our independent directors meet in regularly scheduled executive sessions at which only independent directors are present.

 

Board Leadership Structure and Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

 

Douglas Davis is the Executive Chairman. The Chairman has authority, among other things, to preside over the Board meetings and set the agenda for the Board meetings. Accordingly, the Chairman has substantial ability to shape the work of our Board. We currently believe that separation of the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer ensures appropriate oversight by the Board of our business and affairs. However, no single leadership model is right for all companies and at all times. The Board recognizes that depending on the circumstances, other leadership models, such as the appointment of a lead independent director, might be appropriate. Accordingly, the Board may periodically review its leadership structure. With the appointment of Mr. Davis as the Interim Chief Executive Officer, we appointed Mr. Shuss as the Independent Lead Director.

 

Our Board is generally responsible for the oversight of corporate risk in its review and deliberations relating to our activities. Our principal source of risk falls into two categories, financial and product commercialization. The audit committee oversees management of financial risks; our Board regularly reviews information regarding our cash position, liquidity and operations, as well as the risks associated with each. The Board regularly reviews plans, results and potential risks related to our system-wide restaurant growth, brand awareness and menu offerings. Our Compensation Committee is expected to oversee risk management as it relates to our compensation plans, policies and practices for all employees including executives and directors, particularly whether our compensation programs may create incentives for our employees to take excessive or inappropriate risks which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

 

Committees of the Board of Directors

 

The Board of Directors has already established an audit committee (the “Audit Committee”), a Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (“Governance Committee”). The composition and function of each committee are described below.

Compensation Committee

 

The Compensation Committee has three members, including Messrs. Shuss, Hansen and Ravid. Mr. Hansen serves as the chairman of the Compensation Committee.

  administer our stock incentive and purchase plans; and
     
  review the independence of any compensation advisers.

 

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

 

The Governance Committee has three members, including Messrs. Shuss, Hansen and Ravid. Mr. Shuss serves as the chairman of the Governance Committee.

 

The functions of our Governance Committee, among other things, include:

 

  identifying individuals qualified to become board members and recommending director;
     
  nominees and board members for committee membership;
     
  developing and recommending to our board corporate governance guidelines;
     
  review and determine the compensation arrangements for directors; and
     
  overseeing the evaluation of our board of directors and its committees and management.

 

Our goal is to assemble a Board that brings together a variety of skills derived from high quality business and professional experience.

Business Development Committee

 

On December 8, 2025, the Board established a Business Development Committee of the Board and adopted a written charter for the committee (the “Charter”). The Business Development Committee is tasked with assisting the Board in identifying, evaluating, and developing strategic business development opportunities, including mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, strategic partnerships, licensing arrangements, and other growth initiatives. The Board appointed Ms. Nagypal and Ms. Dzikowski, each independent directors of the Company, as the initial members and Ms. Dzikowski shall serve as the Chairperson of the Business Development Committee. As consideration for serving as Chairperson Business Development Committee, Ms. Dzikowski receives $120,000 in cash and $60,000 in shares of common stock half of which vests upon commencing service and half of which vests on the six-month anniversary.

 

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

 

None of the members of our Compensation Committee, at any time, has been one of our officers or employees. None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers on our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee. For a description of transactions between us and members of our Compensation Committee and affiliates of such members, please see “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions”.

 

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

 

We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all our employees, officers and directors, including those officers responsible for financial reporting.

Payment in respect of the exercise of an Option may be made in cash or by check, by surrender of unrestricted shares of Common Stock (at their fair market value on the date of exercise) that have been held by the participant for any period deemed necessary by the Company’s accountants to avoid an additional compensation charge or have been purchased on the open market, or the Committee may, in its discretion and to the extent permitted by law, allow such payment to be made through a broker-assisted cashless exercise mechanism, a net exercise method, or by such other method as the Committee may determine to be appropriate.

 

Stock Appreciation Rights

 

The Committee will be authorized to award Stock Appreciation Rights (or “SARs”) under the Plan. SARs will be subject to such terms and conditions as established by the Committee. A SAR is a contractual right that allows a participant to receive, either in the form of cash, shares or any combination of cash and shares, the appreciation, if any, in the value of a share over a certain period of time. A SAR granted under the Plan may be granted in tandem with an option and SARs may also be awarded to a participant independent of the grant of an Option. SARs granted in connection with an Option shall be subject to terms similar to the Option which corresponds to such SARs. SARs shall be subject to terms established by the Committee and reflected in the award agreement.

 

Restricted Stock

 

The Committee will be authorized to award Restricted Stock under the Plan. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee and specified in an award agreement, restrictions on Restricted Stock will lapse after three years of service with the Company. The Committee will determine the terms of such Restricted Stock awards. Restricted Stock are shares of common stock that generally are non-transferable and subject to other restrictions determined by the Committee for a specified period. Unless the Committee determines otherwise or specifies otherwise in an award agreement, if the participant terminates employment or services during the restricted period, then any unvested restricted stock will be forfeited.

 

Restricted Stock Unit Awards

 

The Committee will be authorized to award Restricted Stock Unit awards. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee and specified in an award agreement, Restricted Stock Units will vest after three years of service with the Company. The Committee will determine the terms of such Restricted Stock Units. Unless the Committee determines otherwise or specifies otherwise in an award agreement, if the participant terminates employment or services during the period of time over which all or a portion of the units are to be earned, then any unvested units will be forfeited. At the election of the Committee, the participant will receive a number of shares of common stock equal to the number of units earned or an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of that number of shares at the expiration of the period over which the units are to be earned or at a later date selected by the Committee.

 

Stock Bonus Awards

 

The Committee will be authorized to grant Awards of unrestricted shares of common stock or other Awards denominated in shares of common stock, either alone or in tandem with other Awards, under such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine.

 

Transferability

 

Each Award may be exercised during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant or, if permissible under applicable law, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative and may not be otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The Committee, however, may permit Awards (other than Incentive Stock Options) to be transferred to family members, a trust for the benefit of such family members, a partnership or limited liability company whose partners or stockholders are the Participant and his or her family members or anyone else approved by it.

 

52

 

 

Amendment

 

The Plan will have a term of ten years. The Company’s board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time; however, shareholder approval to amend the Plan may be necessary if the law or SEC so requires. No amendment, suspension or termination will materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant or recipient of any Award without the consent of the Participant or recipient.

 

Change in Control

 

Except to the extent otherwise provided in an Award or required by applicable law, in the event of a Change in Control, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Committee is authorized, but not obligated, to make any of the following adjustments (or any combination thereof) in the terms and conditions of outstanding Awards: (a) continuation or assumption of outstanding Awards by the surviving company; (b) substitution by the surviving company of equity, equity-based and/or cash awards with substantially the same terms for outstanding Awards; (c) accelerated exercisability, vesting and/or lapse of restrictions under outstanding Awards immediately prior to the occurrence of the Change in Control; (d) upon written notice, provide that any outstanding Awards must be exercised, to the extent then exercisable, during a reasonable period determined by the Committee and at the end of such period, any unexercised Awards will terminate; and I cancellation of all or any portion of outstanding Awards for fair value (in the form of cash, shares or other property) and which value may be zero.

 

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

 

The following is a general summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the grant and exercise and vesting of Awards under the Plan and the disposition of shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of such Awards. This summary is intended to reflect the current provisions of the Code and the regulations thereunder. However, this summary is not intended to be a complete statement of applicable law, nor does it address foreign, state, local and payroll tax considerations. Moreover, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to any particular participant may differ from those described herein by reason of, among other things, the particular circumstances of such participant.

 

Options

 

There are a number of requirements that must be met for a particular Option to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option. One such requirement is that Common Stock acquired through the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option cannot be disposed of before the later of (i) two years from the date of grant of the Option, or (ii) one year from the date of its exercise. Holders of Incentive Stock Options will generally incur no federal income tax liability at the time of grant or upon exercise of those Options. However, the spread at exercise will be an “item of tax preference,” which may give rise to “alternative minimum tax” liability for the taxable year in which the exercise occurs. If the holder does not dispose of the shares before the later of two years following the date of grant and one year following the date of exercise, the difference between the exercise price and the amount realized upon disposition of the shares will constitute long-term capital gain or loss, as the case may be. Assuming both holding periods are satisfied, no deduction will be allowed to the Company for federal income tax purposes in connection with the grant or exercise of the Incentive Stock Option. If, within two years following the date of grant or within one year following the date of exercise, the holder of shares acquired through the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option disposes of those shares, the Participant will generally realize taxable compensation at the time of such disposition equal to the difference between the exercise price and the lesser of the Fair Market Value of the share on the date of exercise or the amount realized on the subsequent disposition of the shares, and that amount will generally be deductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes, subject to the possible limitations on deductibility under Sections 280G and 162(m) of the Code for compensation paid to executives designated in those Sections. Finally, if an otherwise Incentive Stock Option becomes first exercisable in any one year for shares having an aggregate value in excess of $100,000 (based on the date of grant value), the portion of the Incentive Stock Option in respect of those excess shares will be treated as a non-qualified stock option for federal income tax purposes.

 

Income will be realized by a Participant upon grant of a Non-Qualified Stock Option. Upon the exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, the Participant will recognize ordinary compensation income in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the underlying exercised shares over the Option exercise price paid at the time of exercise. Such income will be subject to income tax withholdings, and the Participant will be required to pay to the Company the amount of any required withholding taxes in respect to such income.

 

53

 

 

The Company will be able to deduct this same amount for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but such deduction may be limited under Sections 280G and 162(m) of the Code for compensation paid to certain executives designated in those Sections.

 

Restricted Stock

 

A Participant will not be subject to tax upon the grant of an Award of Restricted Stock unless the Participant otherwise elects to be taxed at the time of grant pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code. On the date an Award of Restricted Stock becomes transferable or is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the Participant will recognize ordinary compensation income equal to the difference between the Fair Market Value of the shares on that date over the amount the Participant paid for such shares, if any. Such income will be subject to income tax withholdings, and the Participant will be required to pay to the Company the amount of any required withholding taxes in respect to such income. If the Participant made an election under Section 83(b) of the Code, the Participant will recognize ordinary compensation income at the time of grant equal to the difference between the Fair Market Value of the shares on the date of grant over the amount the Participant paid for such shares, if any, and any subsequent appreciation in the value of the shares will be treated as a capital gain upon sale of the shares. Special rules apply to the receipt and disposition of Restricted Shares received by officers and directors who are subject to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The Company will be able to deduct, at the same time as it is recognized by the Participant, the amount of taxable compensation to the participant for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but such deduction may be limited under Sections 280G and 162(m) of the Code for compensation paid to certain executives designated in those Sections.

 

Restricted Stock Units

 

A Participant will not be subject to tax upon the grant of a Restricted Stock Unit Award. Rather, upon the delivery of shares or cash pursuant to a Restricted Stock Unit Award, the Participant will recognize ordinary compensation income equal to the Fair Market Value of the number of shares (or the amount of cash) the Participant actually receives with respect to the Award. Such income will be subject to income tax withholdings, and the Participant will be required to pay to the Company the amount of any required withholding taxes in respect to such income. The Company will be able to deduct the amount of taxable compensation recognized by the Participant for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but the deduction may be limited under Sections 280G and 162(m) of the Code for compensation paid to certain executives designated in those Sections.

 

SARs

 

No income will be realized by a Participant upon grant of an SAR. Upon the exercise of an SAR, the Participant will recognize ordinary compensation income in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the payment received in respect of the SAR. Such income will be subject to income tax withholdings, and the Participant will be required to pay to the Company the amount of any required withholding taxes in respect to such income. The Company will be able to deduct this same amount for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but such deduction may be limited under Sections 280G and 162(m) of the Code for compensation paid to certain executives designated in those Sections.

 

Stock Bonus Awards

 

A Participant will recognize ordinary compensation income equal to the difference between the Fair Market Value of the shares on the date the shares of common stock subject to the Award are transferred to the Participant over the amount the Participant paid for such shares, if any, and any subsequent appreciation in the value of the shares will be treated as a capital gain upon sale of the shares. The Company will be able to deduct, at the same time as it is recognized by the Participant, the amount of taxable compensation to the Participant for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but such deduction may be limited under Sections 280G and 162(m) of the Code for compensation paid to certain executives designated in those Sections.

 

54

 

 

Section 162(m)

 

In general, Section 162(m) of the Code denies a publicly held corporation a deduction for U.S. federal income tax purposes for compensation in excess of $1,000,000 per year paid to any “covered employee.” Covered employees include any individual who served as chief executive officer or chief financial officer during the taxable year, in addition to the three most highly compensated individuals aside from the chief executive officer and chief financial officer. Additionally, covered employees include any previously covered employee for any taxable year beginning after December 31, 2016. The Plan is intended to satisfy an exception with respect to grants of Options to covered employees. In addition, the Plan was designed to permit certain Awards of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, cash bonus awards and other Awards to be awarded as performance compensation awards intended to qualify under the “performance-based compensation” exception to Section 162(m) of the Code.

 

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) was signed into law. The TCJA repealed the performance-based compensation exception to the Section 162(m) $1 million limitation on compensation to covered employees of publicly held corporations. This change was effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. As a result of this change, any expense recognized upon exercise of stock options will be subject to the $1 million limitation under Section 162(m), even if based on performance.

 

New Plan Benefits

 

Future grants under the Plan will be made at the discretion of the Committee and, accordingly, are not yet determinable. In addition, the value of the Awards granted under the Plan will depend on a number of factors, including the Fair Market Value of the shares of common stock on future dates, the exercise decisions made by the Participants and/or the extent to which any applicable performance goals necessary for vesting or payment are achieved. Consequently, it is not possible to determine the benefits that might be received by Participants receiving discretionary grants under, or having their annual bonus paid pursuant to, the Plan.

 

Interests of Directors or Officers

 

The Company’s directors may grant Awards under the Plan to themselves as well as to the Company’s officers and other employees, consultants and advisors.

Grant of Plan-Based Awards

 

During the calendar year ended September 30, 2025, the following grants were made to named executive officers:

 

  ●   the Company granted non-statutory stock options to Mr. Davis and Mr. Kenig to purchase 2,000,000 shares each and to Mr. Rittman to purchase 500,000 shares. Each option has an exercise price of $7.20 per share (fair market value on the grant date), vests in twelve equal quarterly installments over four years commencing on the date of shareholder approval of the Plan, is exercisable for five years from the grant date, and permits cashless exercise. The grants are contingent upon shareholder approval of the Plan; if not approved, they become null and void. Mr. Kenig’s option was terminated as a result of Mr. Kenig’s resignation.      
     
  the Company granted non-statutory stock options to Mr. Shoval and Mr. Allon to purchase 500,000 shares each and to Mr. Williman to purchase 250,000 shares. Each option has an exercise price of $9.09 per share (fair market value on the grant date), with vesting, exercisability, and contingency terms identical to those for the August Executives’ options.

 

There were no other grants of plan-based awards or common stock options, to other named executive officers during the years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

 

The following table sets forth information as of January 22, 2026, as to each person or group who is known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding voting securities and as to the security and percentage ownership of each of our executive officers and directors and of all of our officers and directors as a group. Beneficial ownership is determined under the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power over securities. Except in cases where community property laws apply or as indicated in the footnotes to this table, we believe that each stockholder identified in the table possesses sole voting and investment power over all shares of Common Stock shown as beneficially owned by the stockholder. Shares of Common Stock that are currently exercisable or convertible within 60 days of January 22, 2026 are deemed to be beneficially owned by the person holding such securities for the purpose of computing the percentage beneficial ownership of that person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Except as otherwise indicated, the address of each stockholder is c/o VisionWave Holdings, Inc. at 300 Delaware Avenue, Suite 210 #301, Wilmington, Delaware 19801.

 


The beneficial ownership of VisionWave’s Common Stock is based on 19,563,350 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately following consummation of the Business Combination. References to “common stock” in the table below and its related footnotes are to the VisionWave’s Common Stock.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

This prospectus relates to the possible resale from time to time by YA II of any or all of the shares of common stock that have been or may be issued by us to YA II under the SEPA. For additional information regarding the issuance of common stock covered by this prospectus, see the section titled “The YA II Transaction” below. Except for the transactions contemplated by the SEPA, YA II does not, and has not had, any material relationship with us.

 

The table below presents information regarding Selling Stockholders and the shares of common stock that it may offer from time to time under this prospectus. This table is prepared based on information supplied to us by the Selling Stockholders. The number of shares in the column “Maximum Number of Shares of common stock to be Offered Pursuant to this Prospectus” represents all of the shares of common stock that the Selling Stockholders may offer under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders may sell some, all or none of its shares in this offering. We do not know how long the Selling Stockholders will hold the shares before selling them, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with YA II regarding the sale of any of the shares.

 

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act, and includes shares of common stock with respect to which YA II has voting and investment power. The percentage of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders prior to the offering shown in the table below is based on an aggregate of 19,563,350 shares of our common stock outstanding on January 22, 2026. The number of shares that may actually be sold by us under the SEPA may be fewer than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the Selling Stockholder pursuant to this prospectus.

 

Name of Selling  Number of Shares of Common Stock Owned Prior to Offering  Maximum Number of Shares of Common Stock to be Offered Pursuant to this  Number of Shares of Common Stock Owned After Offering
Stockholder  Number  Percent  Prospectus  Number  Percent
YA II PN, LTD.(3)   200,000(1)   *   10,200,000(1)   (2)    

 

  * Represents ownership of less than 1%.
     
  (1) This number represents the 200,000 YA II Commitment Shares we issued to YA II as consideration for entering into the SEPA with us. The number of shares of common stock that may actually be acquired by the YA II pursuant to the SEPA and Convertible Notes is not currently known. Any issuances of common shares pursuant to the SEPA and any conversion of the Convertible Notes for shares common stock is limited by the terms of the SEPA and the Convertible Notes to such number of shares of common stock that would not result in YA II, together with shares then held by its affiliates, beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of our common stock then outstanding.
     
  (2) Assumes the sale of all shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus. Depending on the price per share at which we sell our common stock to YA II pursuant to the SEPA, we may need to sell to YA II under the SEPA more shares of our common stock than are offered under this prospectus in order to receive aggregate gross proceeds equal to the $50.0 million Commitment Amount under the SEPA. If we choose to do so and otherwise satisfy the conditions in the SEPA, we must first register for resale under the Securities Act such additional shares. The number of shares ultimately offered for resale by YA II is dependent upon the number of shares we sell to YA II under the SEPA.
     
  (3) Investment decisions for YA II are made by Mr. Mark Angelo. The business address of YA II is 1012 Springfield Avenue, Mountainside, NJ 07092.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The shares of common stock offered by this prospectus are being offered by the Selling Stockholder. YA II is an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act solely with respect to Advance Notices submitted by the Company under the SEPA. We have agreed in the SEPA to provide customary indemnification to YA II.

 

It is possible that our shares may be sold from time to time by the Selling Stockholders in one or more of the following manners:

 

  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;
     
  a block trade in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
     
  to a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
     
  in a privately negotiated transaction;
     
 

a combination of the foregoing methods of sale, or

 

any other legally permissible method of sale.

  

We have advised YA II that it is required, where applicable, to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes YA II, any affiliated purchasers, and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in a distribution of shares of common stock pursuant to an Advance Notice from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase, any security that is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M also prohibits any bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with the distribution of that security.

 

These restrictions may affect the marketability of the common shares by YA II and any unaffiliated broker-dealer.

 

We will pay the expenses incident to the registration under the Securities Act of the offer and sale of the shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus by the Selling Stockholders. We estimate that our total expenses for the offering will be approximately $125,000 (excluding the Commitment Shares). As consideration for its irrevocable commitment to purchase our common stock under the SEPA, we issued the 200,000 Commitment Shares to YA II.

Dividend rights. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then-outstanding VisionWave Preferred Stock, holders of VisionWave Common Stock will be entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the VisionWave Board out of legally available funds.

 

Rights upon liquidation. Upon a liquidation event, holders of VisionWave Common Stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to VisionWave stockholders after the payment of all of VisionWave’s debts and other liabilities and the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of any then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.

 

Other rights. Holders of VisionWave Common Stock will have no preemptive, conversion, subscription or other rights, and as of the closing of the Business Combination there will be no redemption provisions applicable to the VisionWave Common Stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the VisionWave Common Stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of VisionWave Preferred Stock that VisionWave may designate in the future.

 

VisionWave Preferred Stock

 

The VisionWave Charter provides that the VisionWave Board has the authority, without action by the VisionWave stockholders, to designate and issue shares of VisionWave Preferred Stock in one or more classes or series, and the number of shares constituting any such class or series, and to fix the voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights of each class or series of VisionWave Preferred Stock, including, without limitation, dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, exchange rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption, dissolution preferences, and treatment in the case of a merger, business combination transaction, or sale of VisionWave’s assets, which rights may be greater than the rights of the holders of the VisionWave Common Stock. There will be no shares of VisionWave Preferred Stock outstanding immediately upon consummation of the Business Combination.

 

The purpose of authorizing the VisionWave Board to issue VisionWave Preferred Stock and determine the rights and preferences of any classes or series of VisionWave Preferred Stock is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances. The simplified issuance of VisionWave Preferred Stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions, future financings and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a third party from seeking to acquire, a majority of VisionWave outstanding voting stock. Additionally, the issuance of VisionWave Preferred Stock may adversely affect the holders of VisionWave Common Stock by restricting dividends on the VisionWave Common Stock, diluting the voting power of the VisionWave Common Stock or subordinating the dividend or liquidation rights of the VisionWave Common Stock. As a result of these or other factors, the issuance of VisionWave Preferred Stock could have an adverse impact on the market price of VisionWave Common Stock.

Warrants

 

Public Warrants

 

There are currently outstanding an aggregate of Public Warrants, which, following the consummation of the Business Combination, will entitle the holder to acquire 6,900,000 shares of VisionWave Common Stock.

 

Each whole Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of VisionWave Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing 30 days after Closing. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, a Warrant Holder may exercise its Warrants only for a whole number of shares of VisionWave Common Stock. This means that only a whole Warrant may be exercised at any given time by a Warrant Holder. No fractional Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Warrants will trade. Accordingly, unless a holder purchases a multiple of two Units, the number of Warrants issuable to such holder upon separation of the Units will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Warrants. The Warrants will expire five years after Closing, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

 

VisionWave will not be obligated to deliver any shares pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares underlying the Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to VisionWave satisfying its obligations described below with respect to registration. No Warrant will be exercisable and VisionWave will not be obligated to issue shares upon exercise of a Warrant unless the shares issuable upon such Warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the Warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a Warrant, the holder of such Warrant will not be entitled to exercise such Warrant and such Warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will we be required to net cash settle any Warrant.

 

Redemption of Public Warrants for cash.

 

Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, VisionWave may call the Warrants for redemption in cash:

 

in whole and not in part;
     
at a price of $0.01 per Warrant;
     
upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each Warrant Holder; and
     
if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the shares of VisionWave Common Stock for any 20 trading days within   a 30-trading day period ending three business days before VisionWave sends the notice of redemption to the   Public Warrant Holders equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations,   recapitalizations and the like).

 

If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable, VisionWave may not exercise its redemption right if the issuance of shares upon exercise of the Warrants is not exempt from registration or qualification under applicable state blue sky laws or VisionWave is unable to effect such registration or qualification, except if the Public Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration.

 

VisionWave established the $18.00 per share (as adjusted) redemption criteria discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and VisionWave issues a notice of redemption of the Public Warrants, each Public Warrant Holder will be entitled to exercise its Public Warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the VisionWave Common Stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like and certain issuances of Class A Common Stock and equity-linked securities) as well as the $11.50 Public Warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.

Redemption Procedures and Cashless Exercise.

 

If VisionWave calls the Public Warrants for redemption as described above under “- Redemption of Public Warrants for cash,” VisionWave’s management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a “cashless basis,” VisionWave’s management will consider, among other factors, its cash position, the number of Public Warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on its stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of VisionWave Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Public Warrants. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the Public Warrants for that number of shares of VisionWave Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of VisionWave Common Stock underlying the Public Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined below) over the exercise price of the Public Warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” for this purpose shall mean the average last reported sale price of the VisionWave Common Stock for the ten trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Warrants. If VisionWave management takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of shares of VisionWave Common Stock to be received upon exercise of the Public Warrants, including the “fair market value” in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares to be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a Public Warrant redemption. VisionWave believes this feature is an attractive option if it does not need the cash from the exercise of the Public Warrants after Closing. If VisionWave calls Public Warrants for redemption and its management does not take advantage of this option, the holders of the Private Placement Warrants and their permitted transferees would still be entitled to exercise their Private Placement Warrants for cash or on a cashless basis using the same formula described above that other Public Warrant Holders would have been required to use had all Public Warrant Holders been required to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis, as described in more detail below.

 

A holder of a Public Warrant may notify VisionWave in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such Public Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the warrant agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% or 9.8% (or such other amount as a holder may specify) of the shares of VisionWave Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

 

Anti-Dilution Adjustments.

 

If the number of outstanding shares of VisionWave Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of VisionWave Common Stock, or by a split-up of shares of VisionWave Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of VisionWave Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding shares of VisionWave Common Stock. A rights offering to holders of VisionWave Common Stock entitling holders to purchase shares of VisionWave Common Stock at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a stock dividend of a number of shares of VisionWave Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of VisionWave Common Stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for VisionWave Common Stock) and (ii) one (1) minus the quotient of (x) the price per share of VisionWave Common Stock paid in such rights offering divided by (y) the fair market value. For these purposes (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for VisionWave Common Stock, in determining the price payable for VisionWave Common Stock, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of VisionWave Common Stock as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the shares of VisionWave Common Stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

 

In addition, if VisionWave, at any time while the Public Warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pays a dividend or makes a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to all or substantially all of the holders of VisionWave Common Stock on account of such shares of VisionWave Common Stock (or other shares of capital stock into which the Public Warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described above or (b) certain ordinary cash dividends, then the Public Warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each share of VisionWave Common Stock in respect of such event.

 

63

 

 

If the number of outstanding shares of VisionWave Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of VisionWave Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of VisionWave Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Public Warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of VisionWave Common Stock.

 

Whenever the number of shares of VisionWave Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Public Warrants is adjusted, as described above, the Public Warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the Public Warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of VisionWave Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Public Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of VisionWave Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

 

In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of VisionWave Common Stock (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such shares of VisionWave Common Stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of VisionWave with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which we are the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of outstanding shares of VisionWave Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of VisionWave as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which VisionWave is dissolved, the holders of the Public Warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Public Warrants and in lieu of the shares of VisionWave Common Stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the Public Warrants would have received if such holder had exercised their Public Warrants immediately prior to such event. If less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of VisionWave Common Stock in such a transaction is payable in the form of VisionWave Common Stock in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the Public Warrant properly exercises the Public Warrant within 30 days following public disclosure of such transaction, the exercise price will be reduced as specified in the Warrant Agreement based on the Black-Scholes Warrant Value (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) of the Public Warrant. The purpose of such exercise price reduction is to provide additional value to holders of the Public Warrants when an extraordinary transaction occurs during the exercise period of the Public Warrants pursuant to which the holders of the Public Warrants otherwise do not receive the full potential value of the Public Warrants in order to determine and realize the option value component of the Public Warrant. This formula is to compensate the Public Warrant Holder for the loss of the option value portion of the Public Warrant due to the requirement that the Public Warrant Holder exercise the Public Warrant within 30 days of the event. The Black-Scholes model is an accepted pricing model for estimating fair market value where no quoted market price for an instrument is available.

 

The Public Warrants were issued in registered form under the Warrant Agreement. You should review a copy of the Warrant Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part, for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the Public Warrants. The Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the Public Warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity, mistake (including to conform the terms to the description thereof included herein) or correct or supplement any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 50% of then outstanding Public Warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of Public Warrants.

 

The Public Warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to VisionWave, for the number of Public Warrants being exercised. The Warrant Holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of VisionWave Common Stock and any voting rights until they exercise their Warrants and receive shares of VisionWave Common Stock. After the issuance of shares of VisionWave Common Stock upon exercise of the Public Warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

 

64

 

 

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. If, upon exercise of the Public Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, VisionWave will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of VisionWave Common Stock to be issued to the Warrant Holder.

 

VisionWave agreed that, subject to applicable law, any action, proceeding or claim against it arising out of or relating in any way to the Warrant Agreement will be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and will irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction will be the exclusive forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. See “Risk Factors - Our Warrant Agreement designates the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by holders of our Warrants, which could limit the ability of Warrant Holders to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with VisionWave.” This provision applies to claims under the Securities Act but does not apply to claims under the Exchange Act or any claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum.

 

Private Placement Securities

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and the over-allotment, we consummated the issuance of 406,000 private placement units (the “Private Placement Units”) as follows: we sold 181,000 Private Placement Units to the Anchor Investors for aggregate cash proceeds of $2,460,000 and issued an additional 225,000 private placement units to our Former Sponsors in exchange for the cancellation of $1,105,000 in loans and a promissory note due to them. Each Private Placement Unit consisted of one share of our common stock, one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $11.50 per whole share and one right. Each right entitled the holder thereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of our common stock which such shares of common stock were issued upon the consummation of our Business Combination.

 

Our Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent

 

The transfer agent for the Common Stock and warrant agent for our Warrants is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. We have agreed to indemnify Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company in its roles as transfer agent and warrant agent, its agents and each of its stockholders, directors, officers and employees against all claims and losses that may arise out of acts performed or omitted for its activities in that capacity, except for any liability due to any gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the indemnified person or entity.

 

Registration Rights

 

The Sponsor and the underwriter in the IPO are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on the effective date of the IPO requiring VisionWave to register the shares of VisionWave Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants. The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that VisionWave register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to completion of a business combination and rights to require VisionWave to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that VisionWave will not be required to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until the securities covered thereby are released from their lock-up restrictions. VisionWave will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

 

Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of the New VisionWave Charter, the VisionWave Bylaws and Applicable Law

 

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

 

The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors of corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties, subject to certain exceptions. The VisionWave Charter includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors for damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director where, in civil proceedings, the person acted in good faith and in a manner that person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of VisionWave or, in criminal proceedings, where the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

 

65

 

 

The VisionWave Bylaws provide that VisionWave must indemnify and advance expenses to VisionWave’s directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL. VisionWave also is expressly authorized to carry directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing indemnification for VisionWave directors, officers, and certain employees for some liabilities. VisionWave believes that these indemnification and advancement provisions and insurance are useful to attract and retain qualified directors and executive officers.

 

The limitation of liability, advancement and indemnification provisions in the New VisionWave Charter and VisionWave Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit VisionWave and the VisionWave stockholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent VisionWave pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officer pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

 

There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding involving any of VisionWave’s proposed directors, officers, or employees for which indemnification is sought.

 

Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal and Payment

 

Under the DGCL, with certain exceptions, the VisionWave stockholders will have appraisal rights in connection with a merger or consolidation of VisionWave. Pursuant to the DGCL, stockholders who properly request and perfect appraisal rights in connection with such merger or consolidation will have the right to receive payment of the fair value of their shares as determined by the Court of Chancery.

 

Stockholders’ Derivative Actions

 

Under the DGCL, any of the VisionWave stockholders may bring an action in VisionWave’s name to procure a judgment in VisionWave’s favor, also known as a derivative action, provided that the stockholder bringing the action is a holder of VisionWave’s shares at the time of the transaction to which the action relates or such stockholder’s stock thereafter devolved by operation of law.

 

Listing of VisionWave Common Stock and VisionWave Warrants

 

The shares of VisionWave Common Stock and VisionWave Warrants are approved for listing on Nasdaq under the symbols” VWAV” and “VWAVW,” respectively.

Any member of the Audit Committee who is a related party with respect to a transaction under review will not be permitted to participate in the discussions or evaluations of the transaction; however, the Audit Committee member will provide all material information concerning the transaction to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will report its action with respect to any related party transaction to the board of directors.

 

Founder Shares

 

On October 20, 2022, pursuant to an SPA, the Sponsor acquired an aggregate of 385,000 shares of common stock of the Company from Bannix Management LLP, Balaji Venugopal Bhat, Nicholos Hellyer, Subbanarasimhaiah Arun, Vishant Vora and Suresh Yezhuvath and 90,000 private placement units from Suresh Yezhuvath (collectively, the “Sellers”) in a private transaction.

 

The Company’s original sponsors were Subash Menon and Sudeesh Yezhuvath (through their investment entity Bannix Management LLP), Suresh Yezhuvath and Seema Rao (collectively, the “Former Sponsor”). Further, the anchor investors are Sea Otter Holdings LLC BD Series, Sixth Borough Capital Fund LP and Better Works LLC (which we refer to, collectively, as the “Anchor Investors”). “Other Investors”, which acquired 16,668 shares of commons stock from the founder, refer to Sagar Pravinchandra Khakhara, Asha Devi Rathore, Ekta Zile Singh and Rahul Kalra. The Former Sponsor, Sponsor, Other Investors, Anchor Investors, directors and officer have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (B) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction after the initial Business Combination that results in all of the public stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. The Company refers to such transfer restrictions as the “lock-up”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the lock-up.

 

67

 

 

At September 30, 2025 and 2024, there were 2,524,000 shares of common stock outstanding owned or controlled by the Former Sponsor, Sponsor, Other Investors, Anchor Investors, directors and officers.

(3) Deferment of Related Party Transactions

 

On December 26, 2024 and revised on February 4, 2025, April 19, 2025 and May 25, 2025, the Company entered into several agreements to defer certain transaction costs and obligations associated with its proposed Business Combination until after the closing of the proposed Business Combination. The deferred obligations in connection with related parties include:

 

  an aggregate of $2,019,200 owed to the Sponsor and its affiliates, including promissory notes, administrative support fees, and advances due only after any Pre-Paid Advance issued in connection with the SEPA is repaid in full.

 

On January 19, 2025, the CEO of the Company agreed to defer $110,400 of compensation expense due him. These costs would have been payable no later than three (3) months following the closing of the proposed Business Combination. On May 25, 2025, the agreement was modified such that the payable is due only after any Pre-Paid Advance issued in connection with the SEPA is repaid in full.

 

All deferred payments will be made exclusively from the working capital of the post-closing entity or funds raised following the closing. These deferments provide the Company with the financial flexibility to focus on completing the transaction while ensuring that all obligations are met within the agreed timeframes.

 

68

 

 

On April 8, 2025, with an effective date of March 31, 2025, the Company entered into a Funding Support Agreement with Stanley Hills, LLC (“Stanley Hills”), the principal shareholder of VisionWave Technologies. Pursuant to the agreement, Stanley Hills irrevocably and unconditionally committed to provide financial support to the Company, sufficient to fund the working capital needs through December 29, 2026. The funding may be provided by Stanley Hills in the form of direct payments to third parties, advances or intercompany loans, or capital contributions, as mutually determined by the parties. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, any such advances will be non-interest bearing and repayable only at such time as determined by the Board of Directors, and only to the extent such repayment would not impair the Company’s liquidity or ability to continue as a going concern. The agreement may not be terminated by Stanley Hills prior to the twelve-month period from the date of release of the financial statement.

 

 

Under the deferment agreements, all amounts owed to the Sponsor and its affiliates, including promissory notes, administrative support fees, and advances due only after any Pre-Paid Advance issued in connection with the SEPA is repaid in full.

 

Tokenize GBT Patent Purchase

 

On August 8, 2023, the Company entered into a Patent Purchase Agreement (“PPA”) with GBT Tokenize Corp. (“Tokenize”), which is 50% owned by GBT Technologies Corp. (“GBT”), where GBT provided its consent, to acquire the entire right, title, and interest of the Patents. The closing date of the PPA was set to be immediately following the closing of the EVIE Agreement. On March 11, 2024, Bannix sent EVIE and the shareholder of EVIE a notice providing that the EVIE Agreement has been terminated (“BNIX EVIE Termination Letter”). As the PPA was contingent upon Bannix closing the acquisition of EVIE and due to the BNIX EVIE Termination Letter, on March 19, 2024, Bannix and Tokenize agreed to terminate the PPA which was consented to by GBT. After negotiations with Target had commenced, Bannix introduced Tokenize to Target with the goal of incorporating the GBT Tokenize technology with Target. Except for the introduction of Tokenize to Target by Bannix, the agreement between Target and GBT Tokenize was completely independent of the terminated EVIE relationship. Effective as of March 20, 2024, Tokenize and the Target entered into a Patent Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Target acquired from Tokenize the entire right, title, and interest of certain patents and patent applications providing an intellectual property basis for a machine learning driven technology that controls radio wave transmissions, analyzes their reflections data, and constructs 2D/3D images of stationary and in motion objects. Each of the parties believes that the above transactions were considered arms-length transactions as there were no common directors, officers, or shareholders between Tokenize, Bannix, or Target, GBT which held a 50% ownership stake in Tokenize, had no direct or indirect control over Bannix or Target and prior related party relationships between the parties had been terminated prior to the agreements. Specifically, Douglas Davis, CEO of Bannix, served as a consultant to GBT until March 31, 2023, when he terminated his consulting agreement. Accordingly, Mr. Davis’ former role with GBT did not influence the arm length nature of the transaction as he had resigned from GBT prior the August 2023 PPA between Tokenize and Bannix and prior to the subsequent patent purchase between Tokenize and Target in March 2024. Further, Dr. Rittman, CTO of GBT was engaged as a consultant to Target following the closing of the patent acquisition by Target. As such, the engagement of Dr. Rittman did not negatively influence the nature of the arms-length transaction.

 

Douglas Davis

 

Mr. Davis is the current Executive Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer. Further, Mr. Davis is a member and manager of Instant Fame LLC. Mr. Davis is considered a related party. Mr. Davis does not have any current involvement with GBT Technologies, Inc. or GBT Tokenize Corp.

 

Stanley Hills LLC/Yossi Attia (former executive officer)

 

Stanley Hills LLC is a shareholder and has provided working capital for the Company since inception.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

VisionWave Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of VisionWave Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2025 and for the period from March 20, 2024 (inception) to September 30, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2025 and for the period from March 20, 2024 (inception) through September 30, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

VISIONWAVE HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1—Organization and Business Operations

 

VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (“VW Holdings” or the “Company”) is a Delaware company incorporated in 2024. VW Holdings is the successor to Bannix Acquisition Corp., (“Bannix”) a blank check company incorporated in the state of Delaware on January 21, 2021 for the purpose of effecting mergers, capital stock exchange, asset acquisitions, stock purchases, reorganization or similar business combinations with one or more businesses (“Business Combination”).

 

Prior to the succession of Bannix by VW Holdings, on March 26, 2024, Bannix entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Original Agreement”), by and among Bannix, VisionWave Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Target” or “VW Tech.”) and the shareholders of Target.

 

On September 6, 2024, Bannix entered into a Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Bannix, VisionWave Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Bannix (“VW Holdings”), BNIX Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of VisionWave (“Parent Merger Sub”), BNIX VW Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of VisionWave (“Company Merger Sub”), and Target.

 

On July 14, 2025, Bannix closed its proposed merger with VisionWave Technologies Inc.

 

Note 2—Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

 

The Company’s primary sources of liquidity have been cash from financing activities. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $15,108,906 as of September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, working capital deficit was $11,795,728 and cash was $2,284,933.

 

The Company received proceeds of approximately $23,846 as a result of the Reverse Acquisition in September 2025, after giving effect to stockholder redemptions and payment of transaction expenses in connection with the Reverse Acquisition. The Company received an additional $308,000 pursuant to the Securities Purchases agreement entered into on February 15, 2025 and $5,000,000 pursuant to the convertible promissory note agreements issued under the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement referenced below. The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the timing and extent of spending to support further sales and marketing and research and development efforts. In order to finance these opportunities, the Company will need to raise additional financing. While there can be no assurances, the Company intends to raise such capital through issuances of additional equity. If additional financing is required from outside sources, the Company may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.

 

On July 25, 2025, the Company entered into the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”) with YA II PN, LTD, a Cayman Islands exempt limited partnership (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to the Investor up to $50 million of its shares of common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA, from time to time during the term of the SEPA, from time to time during the term of the SEPA.

 

Going Concern Evaluation

 

Ordinarily, conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern relate to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due. The Company evaluated its ability to meet its obligations as they become due within one year from the date that the financial statements are issued by considering the following:

 

On April 8, 2025, with an effective date of March 31, 2025, the Company entered into a Funding Support Agreement with Stanley Hills, LLC (“Stanley Hills”), the principal shareholder of VisionWave Technologies. Pursuant to the agreement, Stanley Hills irrevocably and unconditionally committed to provide financial support to the Company, sufficient to fund the working capital needs through December 29, 2026. The funding may be provided by Stanley Hills in the form of direct payments to third parties, advances or intercompany loans, or capital contributions, as mutually determined by the parties. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, any such advances will be non-interest bearing and repayable only at such time as determined by the Board of Directors, and only to the extent such repayment would not impair the Company’s liquidity or ability to continue as a going concern. The agreement may not be terminated by Stanley Hills prior to the twelve-month period from the date of release of the financial statement.

 

Management has determined that the agreement with Stanley Hills, cash receipts from customer arrangements, resource reallocation initiatives, additional insider investments and financing, along with its existing cash and committed affiliated support related combinations alleviated the risk about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance of the financial statements.

 

Note 3—Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

F-7

 

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of VisionWave Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company complies with ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses among other disclosure requirements.

 

Emerging Growth Company Status

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Significant estimates include assumptions made in the valuation of the options, valuation of convertible notes and recoverability of deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. At September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $1,774,899 and $0 deposits in excess of the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage, respectively. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts.

 

F-8

 

 

Business Combinations

 

The Company evaluates whether acquired net assets should be accounted for as a business combination or an asset acquisition by first applying a screen test to determine whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. If so, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If not, the Company applies its judgement to determine whether the acquired net assets meets the definition of a business by considering if the set includes an acquired input, process, and the ability to create outputs.

 

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when it has obtained control. The Company measures goodwill as the fair value of the consideration transferred including the fair value of any non-controlling interest recognized, less the net recognized amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, all measured at their fair value as of the acquisition date. Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issuance of debt or equity securities, that the Company incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.

 

Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. For contingent consideration that does not meet all the criteria for equity classification, such contingent consideration is required to be recorded at its initial fair value at the acquisition date, and on each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of liability-classified contingent consideration are recognized on the consolidated statements of operations in the period of change.

 

When the initial accounting for a business combination has not been finalized by the end of the reporting period in which the transaction occurs, the Company reports provisional amounts. Provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period, which does not exceed one year from the acquisition date. These adjustments, or recognition of additional assets or liabilities, reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized at that date.

 

The Company accounts for certain business combinations that meet the definition of a reverse merger (also referred to as a reverse recapitalization) in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, and ASC 810, Consolidation. A reverse merger occurs when the legal acquirer is determined to be the accounting acquiree, and the legal acquiree is determined to be the accounting acquirer. Accordingly:

 

No goodwill or intangible assets are recorded

 

The transaction is treated as a capital transaction in substance

 

The accounting acquirer’s assets and liabilities are carried forward at their historical carrying amounts

 

The accounting acquiree’s net assets are recognized at fair value, if applicable

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, including accounts in book overdraft positions, certificates of deposit and all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2025 and 2024.

 

Investments

 

The Company from time to time invests in equity securities. All marketable equity securities held by the Company are accounted for under “Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 320, “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.” The Company accounts for available-for-sale equity investments at fair value. From time to time, if the Company determines that the available market price of an available for sale investments is not a reasonable indicator of the fair value, the Company will determine the best estimate of that fair value which is usually the cost.

 

F-9

 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of the Company’s cash, current assets and current liabilities approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, due to their short-term nature.

 

Fair value is defined as the price which would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies is as follows:

 

Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

 

Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

 

As of September 30, 2025, other than the convertible notes discussed below, the Company did not hold any financial assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis.

 

Convertible notes payable

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), when evaluating the accounting for its convertible instruments. A financial instrument that embodies an unconditional obligation, or a financial instrument other than an outstanding share that embodies a conditional obligation, that the issuer must or may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares shall be classified as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) if, at inception, the monetary value of the obligation is based solely or predominantly on any one of the following: (a) a fixed monetary amount known at inception; (b) variations in something other than the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares; or (c) variations inversely related to

 

changes in the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares. Convertible note instruments meeting these criteria are not further evaluated for any embedded derivatives and are carried as a liability at fair value at each balance sheet date.

 

For convertible debt instruments that are not considered liabilities under ASC 480 or ASC 815, the Company applies FASB ASC 470, Debt (“ASC 470”), for the accounting of such instruments, including any premiums or discounts.

 

Offsetting Balances

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 210 “Balance Sheet”, the Company’s accounting policy is to offset assets and liabilities when a right of offset exist.

 

Accordingly, the consolidated balance sheets include transactions with affiliated parties on a net basis.

Research and Development Cost

 

The Company accounts for research and development cost (“R&D”) in accordance with ASC Topic 730, “Research and Development”. R&D represents costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts. The core principle of the guidance in Topic 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve the core principle, the Company applied the following five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment:

 

(1) Identify the contracts or agreements with a customer: The purchase order is considered to be the contract with the customer. The Company’s revenue is derived from the customer orders evidenced by the contract with the customer.
   
(2) Identifying the performance obligations in the contract or agreement: The contract with the customer contains a single performance obligation: fulfillment of the customer’s order.
   
(3) Determine the transaction price: The Company’s arrangements pursuant to the contract require a full prepayment from the customer at a fixed price before the shipment of products. The transaction price is the amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive.
   
(4) Allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations: All transaction prices are allocated to the single performance obligation.
   
(5) Recognize revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied: This performance obligation is satisfied when control of the product is transferred to the customer, which occurred upon completion of the customer’s live testing.

 

The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services it transfers to its clients.

 

During the years ending September 30, 2025 and 2024, no revenue was recorded.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

The Company’s cost of goods sold is comprised of costs related to its commercial revenue, including the cost of sourcing the equipment for sale. During the years ending September 30, 2025 and 2024, no cost of goods sold was recorded.

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average shares outstanding for the year. Diluted loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of common stock to the extent dilutive. For the year ended September 30, 2025 and the period from March 20, 2024 (inception) to September 30, 2024, the Company’s diluted weighted-average shares outstanding is equal to basic weighted-average shares, due to the Company’s net loss position. No common stock equivalents were included in the computation of diluted net loss per unit since such inclusion would have been antidilutive. At September 30, 2025 and 2024, potentially dilutive securities include the public warrants and the convertible promissory notes.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, which cover a wide range of matters, including, among others, government investigations, shareholder lawsuits, and non-income tax matters.

 

An accrual for a loss contingency is recognized when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, is disclosed.

 

Related party and related-party transactions

 

Related parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence, such as a family member or relative, shareholder, or a related corporation.

 

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated. It is not, however, practical to determine the fair value of amounts due to or from related parties due to their related-party nature.

Income Taxes

 

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

ASC740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2025 and 2024. Interest and penalties as of $35,065 and $0 was accrued for the year ended September 30, 2025 and the period from March 20, 2024 (inception) to September 30, 2024, respectively. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

 

Deferred Offering Costs

 

Deferred offering costs, which consist of direct and incremental legal, accounting, consulting, printing, and other third-party fees related to the Company’s issuance of shares, are capitalized as assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The deferred offering costs will be offset against proceeds from the offering upon issuance of shares.

 

Advertising and Promotion

 

All costs associated with advertising and promoting products are expensed as incurred.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company complies with ASC 718 Compensation — Stock Compensation regarding shares granted to directors, officers and vendors of the Company by measuring the grant date fair value of the award and recognizing the resulting expense over the period during which the employee is required to perform service in exchange for the award. Equity-based compensation expense is only recognized for awards subject to performance conditions if it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which requires disclosure of incremental income tax information within the rate reconciliation and expanded disclosures of income taxes paid, among other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company’s management does not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.

 

On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (DISE), requiring additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the statements of operations. The new standard requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the statements of operations as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027.

 

The Company’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 4 — Recapitalization

 

As outlined in Note 1, the Company consummated the Reverse Acquisition with VisionWave Technologies on July 14, 2025.

 

Pursuant to and in accordance with the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, (a) Parent Merger Sub merged with and into Bannix, with Bannix continuing as the surviving entity (the “Parent Merger”), as a result of which, (i) Bannix became a wholly owned subsidiary of VW Holdings, and (ii) each issued and outstanding share of Bannix immediately prior to the effective time of the Parent Merger (the “Parent Merger Effective Time”) (other than shares of Bannix Common Stock that have been redeemed or are owned by Bannix or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries as treasury shares and any Dissenting Parent Shares) was automatically cancelled in exchange for one share of common stock, par value $0.001 of VW Holdings, each Bannix Warrant automatically converted into one warrant to purchase shares of VW Holdings Common Stock on substantially the same terms and conditions and each Bannix Right automatically converted into the number of shares of VW Holdings Common Stock that would have been received by the holder of such Bannix Right if it had been converted upon the consummation of a Business Combination in accordance with Bannix’s organizational document and, (b) immediately following the consummation of the Parent Merger but on the same day, Company Merger Sub merged with and into Target, with Target continuing as the surviving entity (the “Company Merger” and, together with the Parent Merger, the “Mergers”), as a result of which, (i) Target became a wholly owned subsidiary of VW Holdings, and (ii) each issued and outstanding security of Target immediately prior to the effective time of the Company Merger (the “Company Merger Effective Time”) (other than any cancelled Shares or dissenting shares) were no longer be outstanding and were automatically cancelled in exchange for the issuance to the holder thereof of a substantially equivalent security of VW Holdings. The Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Reverse Acquisition.”

 

F-12

 

 

The Merger Agreement contained representations, warranties and covenants of each of the parties thereto that are customary for transactions of this type, including, among others, covenants providing for (i) certain limitations on the operation of the parties’ respective businesses prior to consummation of the Business Combination, (ii) the parties’ efforts to satisfy conditions to consummation of the Business Combination, including by obtaining any necessary approvals from governmental agencies, (iii) prohibitions on the parties soliciting alternative transactions, (iv) VW Holdings preparing and filing a registration statement on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and taking certain other actions to obtain the requisite approval of Bannix’s stockholders to vote in favor of certain matters, including the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Business Combination, at a special meeting to be called for the approval of such matters, and (v) the protection of, and access to, confidential information of the parties. On May 5, 2025, the SEC declared the Company’s registration statement on Form S-4 to be effective.

 

As described in the Merger Agreement, VW Holdings has agreed to adopt an equity incentive plan

 

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Bannix, who is the legal acquirer, was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes and VisionWave Technologies Inc. was treated as the accounting acquirer. VisionWave Technologies Inc. has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances under the redemption scenarios:

 

VisionWave Technologies Inc.’s existing stockholders had more than 69% of the voting interest of VW Holdings under both the no redemption and maximum redemption scenarios;

 

VisionWave Technologies Inc.’s senior management comprises the senior management of VW Holdings Inc.; the directors nominated by VisionWave Technologies represent the majority of the board of directors of VW Holdings Inc.;

 

VisionWave Technologies Inc.’s operations comprises the ongoing operations of VW Holdings Inc.

 

Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Reverse Acquisition was treated as the equivalent of a capital transaction in which VisionWave technologies Inc.

 

is issuing stock for the net assets of Bannix. The net assets of Bannix were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

 

Operations prior to the Reverse Acquisition were those of VisionWave Technologies, Inc.

 

Transaction Proceeds

 

Upon closing of the Reverse Acquisition, the Company acquired cash of $1,169,746 as a result of the Reverse Acquisition, and paid total transaction costs of $1,145,900.

Note 6 — Excise Tax Payable

 

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a 1% federal excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.

 

On December 27, 2022, the Treasury published Notice 2023-2, which provided clarification on some aspects of the application of the excise tax. The notice generally provides that if a publicly traded U.S. corporation completely liquidates and dissolves, distributions in such complete liquidation and other distributions by such corporation in the same taxable year in which the final distribution in complete liquidation and dissolution is made are not subject to the excise tax. Although such notice clarifies certain aspects of the excise tax, the interpretation and operation of aspects of the excise tax (including its application and operation with respect to SPACs) remain unclear and such interim operating rules are subject to change.

 

Because the application of this excise tax is not entirely clear, any redemption or other repurchase effected by the Company, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to this excise tax. Because any such excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holders, it could cause a reduction in the value of the Company’s Class A common stock, cash available with which to effectuate a Business Combination or cash available for distribution in a subsequent liquidation. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination will depend on a number of factors, including (i) the structure of the Business Combination, (ii) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with the Business Combination (or any other equity issuances within the same taxable year of the Business Combination) and (iv) the content of any subsequent regulations, clarifications, and other guidance issued by the Treasury. Further, the application of the excise tax in respect of distributions pursuant to a liquidation of a publicly traded U.S. corporation is uncertain and has not been addressed by the Treasury in regulations, and it is possible that the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be used to pay any excise tax owed by the Company in the event the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination in the required time and redeem 100% of the remaining Class A common stock in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, in which case the amount that would otherwise be received by the public stockholders in connection with the Company’s liquidation would be reduced.

 

Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any PIPE or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination, but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.

 

During the second quarter of 2024, the Internal Revenue Service issued final regulations with respect to the timing and payment of the excise tax. These regulations provided that the filing and payment deadline for any liability incurred during the period from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 would be October 31, 2024. Any amount of such excise tax not paid in full, will be subject to additional interest and penalties which are currently estimated at 8% interest per annum, a 0.5% underpayment penalty per month or portion of a month up to 25% of the total liability for any amount that is unpaid from November 1, 2024 until paid in full, and a failure to file penalty of 5% per month.

 

F-15

 

 

Prior to the consummation of the Reverse Acquisition, Bannix’s common stock exercised their right to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in Bannix’s Trust Account. As a result of these redemptions, Bannix estimated the excise tax liability and applicable interest and penalties pursuant to the IR Act. At the consummation of the Reverse Acquisition, $888,332, inclusive of excise tax interest and penalties. An additional $54,707 of interest of penalties is estimated after close and included in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, $943,039 of excise tax liabilities inclusive of interest and penalties is recorded in the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Note 7 — Promissory Note - Evie

 

Prior to the consummation of the Reverse Acquisition, Bannix issued unsecured promissory notes to Evie Autonomous LTD (“Evie”) with a principal amount of $1,003,995 (the “Evie Autonomous Extension Notes”). The Evie Autonomous Extension Notes bear no interest and are repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of Bannix’s initial Business Combination, or (b) the date of Bannix’s liquidation. On December 26, 2024 and amended on May 27, 2025, Bannix entered into an agreement to defer payment of the Evie Autonomous Extension Notes. Under the deferment agreement, these amounts will not become payable until any Pre-Paid Advance issued in connection with the SEPA is repaid in full (See Note 9). The balance of $1,003,995 was assumed at the close of the Reverse Acquisition. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, the balance of $1,003,995 and $0, respectively, owing to Evie is reported as promissory notes – Evie on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Note 8 — Related Party Transactions

The Company also entered into an irrevocable transfer agent instructions letter with its transfer agent in connection with the July 2025 Notes. The proceeds from the issuances of the July 2025 Notes were used for general working capital purposes. The July 2025 Lenders have piggyback registration rights and have agreed not to engage in short sales of the Company’s common stock during the term of the July 2025 Notes. The July 2025 Notes include customary representations, warranties, covenants, and default provisions. The Company may prepay the July 2025 Notes within the first 180 days.

Standby Equity Purchase Agreement - Pre Paid Advance

 

In connection with the SEPA (See Note 11), and subject to the condition set forth therein, the Investor advanced to the Company in the form of convertible promissory notes (the “Convertible Notes”) an aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million (the “Pre-Paid Advance”). The first Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed on July 25, 2025 with respect to $3.0 million and the balance of $2.0 million was disbursed on September 11, 2025 upon the registration statement registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable under the SEPA being declared effective. The purchase price for the Pre-Paid Advance is 94% of the principal amount of the Pre-Paid Advance. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding balance of any Pre-Paid Advance at an annual rate equal to 6.0%, subject to an increase to 18% upon an event of default as described in the Convertible Notes. The maturity date is 12-months after the closing of each tranche of the Pre-Paid Advance. The Investor may convert the Convertible Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of $10.00 or 93% of the lowest daily VWAP during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion (the “Conversion Price”), which in no event may the Conversion Price be lower than $1.00 (the “Floor Price”) provided, however, that the Floor Price shall be adjusted (downwards only) to equal 20% of the average VWAP for the five (5) Trading Days immediately prior to the earlier of (i) date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, (ii) the six-month anniversary of the date of the SEPA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may reduce the Floor Price to any amounts set forth in a written notice to the Holder; provided that such reduction shall be irrevocable and shall not be subject to increase thereafter. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default,

the Convertible Notes shall become immediately due and payable and the Company shall pay to the Investor the principal and interest due thereunder. In no event shall Investor be allowed to effect a conversion if such conversion, along with all other shares of common stock beneficially owned by Investor and its affiliates would exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company. If any time on or after the issuance of the Convertible Notes (i) the daily VWAP is less than the Floor Price for five trading days during a period of seven consecutive trading days (“Floor Price Trigger”), or (ii) the Company has issued in excess of 99% of the shares of common stock available under the Exchange Cap, where applicable ( “Exchange Cap Trigger” and collectively with the Floor Price Trigger, the “Trigger”), then the Company shall make monthly payments to Investor beginning on the seventh trading day after the Trigger and continuing monthly in the amount of $750,000 plus an 5.0% premium and accrued and unpaid interest. The Exchange Cap Trigger will not apply in the event the Company has obtained the approval from its stockholders in accordance with the rules of Nasdaq Stock Market for the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the transactions contemplated in the Convertible Note and the SEPA in excess of 19.99% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the effective date of the SEPA (the “Exchange Cap”).

 

The Convertible Notes is a legal debt obligation with a variable-share conversion feature that ensures a fixed monetary return to the holder, thus qualifying as a liability under ASC 480-10. the Note remains a liability after issuance and the instrument is remeasured after initial recognition, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each reporting period until settlement, modification, or extinguishment, consistent with the liability-classified model. As of September 30, 2025, the par value of the notes was $5,000,000 and the fair value of the notes was $4,552,653. For the year ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, total interest expense $39,288 and $0 was included in interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations, respectively.

 

The Convertible notes were valued using unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data (Level 3). The valuation is based on Monte Carlo Simulation to simulate weekly stock prices through maturity. The enterprise value is then allocated to each class of outstanding shares and convertible notes based on an option pricing model where the value for each class is driven by the current value and expected volatility of the underlying equity value.

 

The key assumptions used to value the convertible notes as of September 30, 2025:

 

Stock Price   $ 9.53  
Equity Volatility     52.0 %
Discount Rate     41.0 %
Risk free rate of return     3.70 %
Term to maturity (years)     0.82

Note 10 — Underwriter’s Agreement

 

Upon completion of the initial public offering of Bannix IPO, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of $225,000, solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. Additionally, the underwriters are entitled to a Business Combination marketing fee of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the sale of Units in the IPO upon the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. At the close of the Reverse Acquisition, the Company assumed $225,000 of underwriting discount which is included in deferred underwriting discount on the accompanying balance sheets at September 30, 2025. The amount is due on demand but payable only after the repayment of the SEPA Pre-paid Advances (See Note 9).

 

On June 9, 2025, Bannix entered into an amendment to the underwriting agreement. Pursuant to the amendment, payments of the Business Combination marketing fee will be modified as follows:

 

$500,000 shall be paid in cash, deferred until the later of (i) twelve (12) months after closing or (ii) the date when a key financing facility of the post-combination company is fully equitized.

 

$1,300,000 shall be paid in shares of the post-combination company’s common stock, calculated based on the 30-day VWAP immediately following the closing date. These shares will be subject to piggyback registration rights and a lock-up that expires upon the termination or full amortization of the referenced financing facility.

 

At the close of the Reverse Acquisition, the Company assumed $1,800,000 of marketing fees costs which is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying balance sheets at September 30, 2025.

 

In addition, Bannix issued the underwriter (and/or its designees) (the “Representative”) 393,000 shares of Common Stock for $0.01 per share (the “Representative Shares”) upon the consummation of the Bannix IPO. A balance of $3,930 outstanding by the Representative for the Representative Shares were assumed at close at the Reverse Acquisition. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Representative has not yet paid for these shares, and the amount owed of $3,930 is included in prepaid expenses on the consolidated balance sheets.

Note 11 — Commitment and Contingencies

 

Standby Equity Purchase Agreement

 

On July 25, 2025, the Company entered into the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”) with YA II PN, LTD, a Cayman Islands exempt limited partnership (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to the Investor up to $50 million of its shares of common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA, from time to time during the term of the SEPA, from time to time during the term of the SEPA.

 

Upon the satisfaction of the conditions to the Investor’s purchase obligation set forth in the SEPA, including having a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable under the SEPA declared effective by the SEC, the Company will have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at its discretion until the SEPA is terminated to direct Investor to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock (“Advance”) by delivering written notice to Investor (“Advance Notice”). While there is no mandatory minimum amount for any Advance, it may not exceed an amount equal to 100% of the average of the daily traded amount during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding an Advance Notice.

 

The shares of common stock purchased pursuant to an Advance delivered by the Company will be purchased at a price equal to 97% of the lowest daily VWAP of the shares of common stock during the three consecutive trading days commencing on the date of the delivery of the Advance Notice, other than the daily VWAP on a day in which the daily VWAP is less than a minimum acceptable price as stated by the Company in the Advance Notice or there is no VWAP on the subject trading day. The Company may establish a minimum acceptable price in each Advance Notice below which the Company will not be obligated to make any sales to Investor. “VWAP” is defined as the daily volume weighted average price of the shares of common stock for such trading day on the Nasdaq Stock Market during regular trading hours as reported by Bloomberg L.P.

 

In connection with the SEPA, and subject to the condition set forth therein, Investor advanced to the Company in the form of convertible promissory notes (the “Convertible Notes”) an aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million (the “Pre-Paid Advance”) (See Note 9).

 

The Investor, in its sole discretion and providing that there is a balance remaining outstanding under the Convertible Notes, may deliver a notice under the SEPA requiring the issuance and sale of shares of common stock to the Investor at the Conversion Price in consideration of an offset of the Convertible Notes (“Investor Advance”). The Investor, in its sole discretion, may select the amount of any Pre-Paid Advance, provided that the number of shares issued does not cause the Investor to exceed the 4.99% ownership limitation, does not exceed the Exchange Cap or the number of shares of common stock that are registered. As a result of a Pre-Paid Advance, the amounts payable under the Convertible Notes will be offset by such amount subject to each Investor Advance.

 

The Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of shares of common stock to the Investor, except with respect to the Pre-Paid Advances. Actual sales of shares of common stock to the Investor as a Pre-Paid Advance under the SEPA will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, which may include, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriate sources of funding for our business and operations.

 

The SEPA will automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the 24-month anniversary of the date of the SEPA or (ii) the date on which the Investor shall have made payment of Advances pursuant to the SEPA for shares of common stock equal to $50,000,000. The Company has the right to terminate the SEPA at no cost or penalty upon five (5) trading days’ prior written notice to the Investor, provided that there are no outstanding Advance Notices for which shares of common stock need to be issued and the Company has paid all amounts owed to the Investor pursuant to the Convertible Notes. The Company and the Investor may also agree to terminate the SEPA by mutual written consent. Neither the Company nor the Investor may assign or transfer our respective rights and obligations under the SEPA, and no provision of the SEPA may be modified or waived by us or Investor other than by an instrument in writing signed by both parties.

 

As consideration for the Investor’s commitment to purchase the shares of common stock pursuant the SEPA, the Company paid the Investor, (i) a structuring fee in the amount of $35,000 and (ii) 200,000 shares of common stock as an equity fee. Further, the Company is required to pay Investor a commitment fee of $500,000 of which $250,000 shall be due and payable on the earlier of the effective date of the initial registration statement, or 60 days following the date hereof and the remaining $250,000 shall be due and payable on the date that is 90 days following the initial due date to be paid by the issuance of such number of common shares that is equal to the applicable portion of the commitment fee divided by the average of the daily VWAPs of the common shares during the three trading days immediately prior to the applicable due date. The total consideration of $1,350,000 is recorded as general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2025 and is inclusive of fair value if $470,000 of the 200,000 shares issued and $350,000 consulting fees. At September 30, 2025, $390,000 of the commitment fee is unpaid and included in accrued expenses on the accompanying balance sheets.

 

F-19

 

 

The SEPA contains customary representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification obligations of the parties. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in such agreements were made only for purposes of such agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.

 

The net proceeds under the SEPA to the Company will depend on the frequency and prices at which the Company sells its shares of common stock to Investor. The Company expects that any proceeds received from such sales to Investor will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

The SEPA fails the fixed-for-fixed equity classification test due to the Exchange Cap requiring shareholder approval, which constitutes a variable settlement contingency outside the issuer’s control. Therefore, equity classification under ASC 815-40 is precluded, and the SEPA must be accounted for as a liability (or derivative liability, as applicable). While the SEPA has an underlying (the issuer’s stock price) and a notional amount (the $50 million commitment), it does not meet the third characteristic of a derivative because it requires more than a nominal initial net investment (e.g., the $5 million Pre-Paid Advance in two tranches and related fees). Therefore, the SEPA does not meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815-10-15-83. Accordingly, the SEPA should be recorded as non-derivative liability requiring ongoing fair value remeasurement. As of September 30, 2025, based on management assumptions the SEPA liability was zero.

 

Joint Venture

 

On August 25, 2025, the Company entered into a Strategic Joint Venture Agreement (the “AIPHEX Agreement”) with AIPHEX LTD (“AIPHEX”), GBT Tokenize Corp. (“TOKENIZE”), and GBT Technologies, Inc. (“GBT”). Pursuant to the AIPHEX Agreement, the parties agreed to form a joint venture limited liability company in the State of Nevada (the “JV LLC”) for the purpose of collaborating on certain designated defense and technology projects (the “Designated Projects and Background IP”). At September 30, 2025, the JV LLC was neither formed nor funded.

 

Memorandum of Understanding

 

On September 2, 2025, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the “MoU”) with VEDA Aeronautics Private Limited (“VEDA”), a company incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013, of India.

 

Pursuant to the MoU, the Company and VEDA intend to collaborate on several Indian Ministry of Defense (“MoD”) procurement programs (the “Programs”), including but not limited to: (a) Drone Kill System (Make-2) – interceptor drone development; (b) ALTV (New Generation Light Tank) – 357 tanks, with Company subsystems proposed as onboard modules; (c) FRCV (Main Battle Tank Program) – 1,770 main battle tanks; and (d) T72/T90 Retrofit Program for tanks. Under the MoU, VEDA has invited the Company to supply and develop core subsystems, including counter-UAS systems, tactical drones, radar technologies, advance protection systems (APS) systems, sensor fusion technologies, and unmanned platforms for defense and homeland security applications. The parties intend to collaborate in technical proposals, demonstrations, and joint pursuit of contracts for these Programs.

 

Contingent Commission Payable

 

On May 22, 2025, VisionWave Technologies executed an Addendum to an existing agreement, pursuant to which Raptor LLC was appointed as exclusive sales agent for 280,534 TFLM shares (See Note 15) and Raptor LLC will be entitled to a fixed fee of $50,000, payable from the gross proceeds of the share sale of the TFLM shares. As of September 30, 2025, no sale of the TFLM shares has occurred, and VisionWave Technologies has not granted the required power of attorney over its brokerage account to enable such sales. Accordingly, the commission obligation to Raptor LLC is considered contingent.

 

Consulting Agreement

 

On September 26, 2025, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement (the “CTMG Agreement”) with Crypto Treasury Management Group, LLC (“CTMG”), pursuant to which CTMG will provide advisory and strategic services to assist the Company in establishing a digital asset treasury reserve. The services include, among other things, developing a crypto treasury strategy, recommending custodians, designing staking protocols (if applicable), assisting with capital formation in collaboration with a licensed securities underwriter, and supporting regulatory and tax compliance efforts.

 

The CTMG Agreement has an initial term of two years, subject to earlier termination under certain conditions, including for convenience with 60 days’ notice or for material breach. In consideration for the services, the Company has agreed to pay CTMG: (i) a retainer fee of $50,000 upon signing, which was pre-paid as an advance on September 24, 2025, with an additional $50,000 due upon execution of binding definitive agreements related to the crypto treasury transaction; (ii) a success fee of 17 Bitcoin (or cash equivalent) upon successful deployment of at least $20 million into crypto assets for the Company’s treasury; and (iii) 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock upon closing of the crypto treasury transaction, subject to SEC Rule 144 restrictions and inclusion in future registration statements where applicable.

Litigation

 

From time to time, the Company may be subject to routine litigation, claims or disputes in the ordinary course of business. The Company defends itself vigorously in all such matters but cannot predict the outcome or effect of any potential litigation, claims or disputes.

 

On September 5, 2025, Better Works LLC filed an action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, captioned Better Works LLC v. VisionWave Holdings, Inc. and Douglas E. Davis, Index No. 655268/2025. The Summons with Notice asserts claims for breach of contract and seeks (i) a declaratory judgment regarding affiliate status and the applicability or expiration of certain lock-up provisions relating to private-placement units exchanged in connection with the Company’s business combination, (ii) injunctive relief permitting the plaintiff to sell such units, and (iii) monetary damages in an amount to be determined. Service of process addressed to VisionWave’s Delaware registered agent was recorded as received on September 9, 2025. On September 30, 2025, counsel for the Company and Mr. Davis served a demand for the complaint pursuant to CPLR 3012(b), expressly reserving all defenses, including objections to service and personal jurisdiction. As of the date of this Report, no complaint has been served on the defendants. The Company believes the asserted claims are without merit and intends to defend the matter vigorously.

 

Except as described above, the Company is not a party to any other pending legal proceedings that management believes, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, or results of operations.

 

Note 12— Stockholder’s Deficit

 

Preferred Stock— The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

 

Common Stock— The Company is authorized to issue 150,000,000 shares of common stock with par value of $0.01 each. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, there were 14,521,094 and 11,000,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, respectively.

 

Warrants

 

As part of the Bannix IPO, Bannix issued 6,900,000 warrants to third-party investors where each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “Public Warrants”). Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, Bannix completed the private sale of 406,000 Private Placement warrants where each warrant allows the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at $11.50 per share.

 

Bannix accounted for the 6,900,000 warrants issued in connection with the IPO and private placement in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” whereby under that provision, the Private Warrants did not meet the criteria for equity treatment and were recorded as a liability. Accordingly, Bannix classified the Private Warrants as a liability at fair value and adjusts them to fair value at each reporting period. The Public Warrants met the classification for equity treatment.

 

The warrants became exercisable on the later of 12 months from the closing of this offering or upon completion of its initial Business Combination and will expire five years after the completion of Reverse Acquisition, at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

 

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the warrants:

 

in whole and not in part;

 

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

 

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, to each warrant holder; and

 

F-21

 

 

if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Public Shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share consolidations, share capitalizations, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

 

if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the issuance of the shares underlying such warrants at the time of redemption and for the entire 30-day trading period referred to above and continuing each day until the date of redemption.

 

At the time of the Reverse Acquisition, The Private Placement Warrants became identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Bannix IPO. The Private Placement Warrants were classified as Equity upon close of the Reverse Acquisition. During the year ended September 2025 and the period from March 20, 2024 (inception) to September 30, 2024, 1008 and 0 warrants were exercised. At September 30, 2025, there were 7,304,992 warrants outstanding.

 

Conversion of public and private rights

 

On July 14, 2025, at the close of the Reverse Acquisition, 6,900,000 public rights and 406,000 private rights under Bannix were converted for Common shares on a ten-to-one basis.

Note 13 — Gain on Sale of Marketable Securities

 

On June 4, 2024, VW Tech invested in 10 million shares Avant Technologies, Inc. (“AVAI”). On February 28, 2025 and March 5, 2025, VW Tech sold 264,112 of AVAI shares for net proceeds of $114,111 for a total gain of $104,656 on sale of marketable securities. On April 28, 2025, the Company sold its remaining holding of 9,735,888 shares of AVAI, which were recorded at par value of $0.001 per share to a third party in exchange for 280,534 shares of Tofla Megaline Inc. (“TFML”). The Company determined that the quoted price of the TFLM shares was not a reliable indicator of fair value at the measurement date as the historical price data indicates that TFLM shares consistently reflected zero daily trading volume over an extended period. Therefore, the Company measured the TFLM shares received at par value of $0.001 per share, which was deemed the most reliable and supportable estimate of fair value at the transaction date under ASC 820.

 

As a result of this non-cash exchange, the Company recognized a loss on sale of the 9,735,888 share of AVAI of approximately $9,455. The total gain on sale of AVAI shares of $104,656 is recorded in the recorded as gain on sale of marketable securities on the consolidated statements of operations. At September 30, 2025 and 2024, the total par value of TFML shares of $281 and $0, is recorded as investment in marketable securities available for share on the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s net operating loss carryforward as of September 30, 2025 and 2024 amounted to $728,566 and $69,745, will be carried forward indefinitely.

 

In assessing the realization of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. After consideration of all of the information available, management believes that significant uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of the deferred tax assets and has therefore established a full valuation allowance. For the year ended September 30 2025 and the period from March 20, 2024 (inception) to September 30, 2024, the change in the valuation allowance was $1,276,805 and $69,745, respectively.

A reconciliation of the federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate at September 30 2025 and 2024 is as follows:

 

    September 30,
    2025   2024
Statutory federal income tax rate     21 %     21 %
State taxes, net of federal tax benefit            
Change in valuation allowance     (21 )%     (21 )%

The Company recognizes interest accrued to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties as income tax expense. There were no penalties or interest accrued as of, nor recognized during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has not recorded an amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions for the current or prior year planned tax filing positions. No unrecognized tax benefits are applicable for prior periods.

 

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction in various state and local jurisdictions and is subject to examination by the various taxing authorities, since inception. The Company has not filed its 2023 and 2024 tax returns. At the close of the Reverse Acquisition, the Company assumed $959,639 of income tax expenses inclusive of interest and penalties. The Company has incurred an additional $35,065 in interest and penalties for its failure to file and pay its taxes from the close of the Reverse Acquisition to September 30, 2025. Until remedied, the Company will continue to incur these expenses.

 

Note 15 — Segment Information

 

ASC Topic 280 establishes standards for companies to report financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.

 

The CODM has been identified as the Chief Financial Officer, who reviews the operating results for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that the Company only has one operating segment.

 

The CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on operating loss that also is reported on the consolidated statements of operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total assets. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews several key metrics, which include the following:

 

 

        For the Period from
        March 20, 2024
    For the year ended   (inception) to
    September 30,   September 30, 2024
    2025   2024
General and administrative   $ 5,416,619     $ 328,469  
Research and development     156,462       3,650  
Sales and marketing     1,168,108        
Loss from operations   $ (6,741,189 )   $ (332,119 )

 

F-26

 

 

The key metrics included in segment profit or loss reviewed by the CODM are operating costs. The CODM reviews operating costs to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to meet operational needs and fund research and development efforts. The CODM also reviews operating costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget.

 

Note 16—Subsequent Events

 

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date of the filing of this report. The Company did not identify any subsequent events, other than disclosed in the Notes and discussed below, that would have required adjustment or disclosure in these consolidated financial statements.

 

AI Infrastructure Agreement

 

On October 5, 2025, the Company entered into an Order Form (the “Agreement”) with PVML Ltd., a Tel Aviv–based provider of secure data-AI infrastructure. The Agreement establishes a strategic collaboration to integrate PVML’s secure, real-time data-AI infrastructure with the Company’s radar and AI-driven computer-vision technologies to enable secure, autonomous mission-data systems for defense and homeland-security applications.

Each party retains ownership of its respective intellectual property, and the Company will own all outputs and derivatives generated through its use of the PVML platform.

 

December 2025 Share Purchase Agreement

 

On December 15, 2025, in connection with the closing of the Acquisition (as defined below), the Company (or “Buyer”) entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Share Purchase Agreement dated as of December 3, 2025 (the “Agreement”), with BladeRanger Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Israel and listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange under the ticker “BLRN” (“Seller”), and Solar Drone Ltd., an Israeli corporation (the “Target Company”).

In such event, the number of Additional PFWs shall equal the difference between (x) $21,600,000 divided by such average daily VWAP and (y) 1,800,000, to be issued within two Business Days following the effectiveness of such registration statement.

 

The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance at a nominal exercise price of $0.01 per share (with the aggregate exercise price, except for such nominal amount, pre-funded to the Company) and will remain exercisable until exercised in full, subject to customary adjustments, beneficial ownership limitations (9.99%), and an exchange cap of 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock prior to the initial exercise date unless shareholder approval is obtained pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

 

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law contains provisions for indemnification of our officers and directors, and under certain circumstances, our employees and other persons. Our bylaws require us to indemnify such persons to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Each such person will be indemnified in any proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests. The indemnification would cover expenses, including attorney’s fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement. Our bylaws also provide that we may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any of our present or past directors or officers insuring against any liability asserted against such person incurred in their capacity as a director or officer or arising out of such status, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify such person.

 

We have no other indemnification provisions in our certificate of incorporation, bylaws or otherwise specifically providing for indemnification of directors, officers and controlling persons against liability under the Securities Act.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

 

ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

 

The following issuances of our securities were made pursuant exemptions contained in Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder:

 

Short Term Funding

 

On July 15, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreements (the “July 2025 SPAs”) with two unaffiliated accredited investors (“July 2025 Lenders”), pursuant to which the Company issued promissory notes (the “July 2025 Notes”) to the July 2025 Lenders in the aggregate principal amount of $354,200, which includes an aggregate original issue discount of $46,200, for a purchase price of $308,000. The July 2025 Notes bear interest at a one-time charge of 12% applied on the issuance date, mature on May 15, 2026, and is repayable in five monthly payments commencing January 15, 2026. The July 2025 Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), solely upon an event of default, at a conversion price equal to 75% of the lowest trading price during the ten trading days prior to conversion. The Company also entered into an irrevocable transfer agent instructions letter with its transfer agent in connection with the July 2025 Notes. The proceeds from the issuances of the July 2025 Notes will be used for general working capital purposes. The July 2025 Lenders have piggyback registration rights and have agreed not to engage in short sales of the Company’s common stock during the term of the July 2025 Notes. The July 2025 Notes include customary representations, warranties, covenants, and default provisions. The Company may prepay the July 2025 Notes within the first 180 days.

 

II-1

 

 

The loan pursuant to the July 2025 Notes closed and funded on July 17, 2025.

 

YA II

 

On July 25, 2025, we entered into the SEPA with YA II. Under the SEPA, the Company has the right to sell to YA II up to $50 million of its shares of common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA, from time to time during the term of the SEPA. On January 19, 2026, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the SEPA.

 

Upon the satisfaction of the conditions to YA II’s purchase obligation set forth in the SEPA, including having a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable under the SEPA declared effective by the SEC, the Company will have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at its discretion until the SEPA is terminated to direct Investor to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock (“Advance”) by delivering written notice to YA II (“Advance Notice”). While there is no mandatory minimum amount for any Advance, it may not exceed an amount equal to 100% of the average of the daily traded amount during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding an Advance Notice.

 

The shares of common stock purchased pursuant to an Advance delivered by the Company will be purchased at a price equal to 97% of the lowest daily VWAP of the shares of common stock during the three consecutive trading days commencing on the date of the delivery of the Advance Notice, other than the daily VWAP on a day in which the daily VWAP is less than a minimum acceptable price as stated by the Company in the Advance Notice or there is no VWAP on the subject trading day. The Company may establish a minimum acceptable price in each Advance Notice below which the Company will not be obligated to make any sales to YA II. “VWAP” is defined as the daily volume weighted average price of the shares of common stock for such trading day on the Nasdaq Stock Market during regular trading hours as reported by Bloomberg L.P.

 

The January Amendment amended the SEPA to, among other things:

 

(i) remove the Investor's ability to deliver investor notices, which previously allowed the Investor to require the Company to issue and sell shares of Common Stock to the Investor in offset of amounts outstanding under the Convertible Notes;

 

(ii) modify the conditions under which an Amortization Event (as defined in the Convertible Notes) may occur, providing that no Amortization Event shall be deemed to have occurred due to a Registration Event (as defined in the Convertible Notes) prior to the Rule 144 Date, and after the Rule 144 Date, no such Amortization Event shall occur so long as the Company remains current on its filings with the SEC and the Investor is able to rely on Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to resell shares of Common Stock issuable under the Promissory Notes;

 

(iii) cancel the Investor's obligation to fund an additional $2,000,000 in principal amount to the Company as set forth in a letter agreement dated September 11, 2025, between the Company and the Investor (provided that subsequent fundings on the same or different terms may be mutually agreed by the parties in the future and documented in writing); and

 

(iv) require the Company to use its best efforts to promptly respond to comments from the staff of the SEC regarding the Company's initial Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-289952) and seek effectiveness of such Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable.

 

In connection with the SEPA, and subject to the condition set forth therein, YA II has agreed to advance to the Company the Pre-Paid Advance. The first Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed on July 25, 2025 with respect to $3.0 million and the balance of $2.0 million was disbursed on September 11, 2025. The purchase price for the Pre-Paid Advance is 94% of the principal amount of the Pre-Paid Advance. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding balance of any Pre-Paid Advance at an annual rate equal to 6.0%, subject to an increase to 18% upon an event of default as described in the Convertible Notes. The maturity date will be 12-months after the closing of each tranche of the Pre-Paid Advance. Investor may convert the Convertible Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of $10.00 or 93% of the lowest daily VWAP during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion (the “Conversion Price”); provided, that in no event may the Conversion Price be lower than $1.00 (the “Floor Price”). In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default,

 

II-2

 

 

the Convertible Notes may be declared immediately due and payable, in which case the Company shall pay to YA II the principal and interest due thereunder. In no event shall Investor be allowed to effect a conversion if such conversion, along with all other shares of common stock then beneficially owned by YA II and its affiliates, would exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the then common stock of the Company. If at any time on or after the issuance of the Convertible Notes (i) the Floor Price Event, (ii) the Exchange Cap Event or (iii) a Registration Event occurs, provided, however, that no Registration Event shall be deemed to have occurred prior to the Rule 144 Date, and after the Rule 144 Date, no Registration Event shall be deemed to have occurred so long as the Company remains current on its filings with the SEC and the Investor is able to rely on Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to resell shares of common stock issuable under the Convertible Notes, then the Company shall make monthly payments to Investor beginning on the seventh trading day after the Amortization Event and continuing monthly in the amount of $750,000 plus a 5.0% premium and all accrued and unpaid interest. The Exchange Cap Event will not apply in the event the Company has obtained the approval from its stockholders in accordance with the rules of Nasdaq Stock Market for the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the transactions contemplated in the Convertible Note and the SEPA in excess of the Exchange Cap.

 

The Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of shares of common stock to YA II. Actual sales of shares of common stock to Investor as an Advance under the SEPA will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, which may include, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriate sources of funding for our business and operations.

 

The SEPA will automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the 24-month anniversary of the date of the SEPA or (ii) the date on which Investor shall have made payment of Advances pursuant to the SEPA for shares of common stock equal to $50,000,000. We have the right to terminate the SEPA at no cost or penalty upon five (5) trading days’ prior written notice to Investor, provided that there are no outstanding Advance Notices for which shares of common stock need to be issued and the Company has paid all amounts owed to Investor pursuant to the Convertible Notes and the SEPA. The Company and YA II may also agree to terminate the SEPA by mutual written consent. Neither the Company nor YA II may assign or transfer our respective rights and obligations under the SEPA, and no provision of the SEPA may be modified or waived by us or Investor other than by an instrument in writing signed by both parties.

 

As consideration for YA II’s commitment to purchase the shares of common stock pursuant the SEPA, the Company paid YA II, (i) a structuring fee in the amount of $35,000 and (ii) 200,000 shares of common stock as an equity fee. Further, the Company is required to pay YA II a commitment fee of $500,000 of which $250,000 shall be due and payable on the earlier of the effective date of the initial registration statement, or 60 days following the date of the SEPA, and the remaining $250,000 shall be due and payable on the date that is 90 days following the due date of the initial $250,000 installment, in each case to be paid by the issuance of such number of common shares that is equal to the applicable portion of the commitment fee divided by the average of the daily VWAPs of the common shares during the three trading days immediately prior to the applicable due date.

 

Shares to Vendors

 

At June 30, 2025, the Company owed a vendor $87,500 for services rendered. On July 28, 2025, the Company and the vendor agreed to satisfy the outstanding balance with the Company issuing 22,500 VisionWave Holdings’ Common Shares to the vendor. On July 16, 2025, the Company issued an option to acquire 500,000 shares of common stock to a vendor exercisable for a period of ten years at an exercise price of $3.27 per share.

On August 6, 2025, the Company entered into employment agreements (each, an “Employment Agreement”) with Douglas Davis, as Executive Chairman, Noam Kenig, as Chief Executive Officer, and Danny Rittman, as Chief Technology Officer (collectively, the “Executives”). Each Employment Agreement has an initial term of three (3) years, commencing on August 6, 2025, and is subject to automatic one-year renewals thereafter unless terminated by either party with at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice.

Each Option has an exercise price of $7.20 per share (to be determined as the fair market value on the grant date) and vests in twelve (12) equal quarterly installments over four (4) years, commencing on the date of shareholder approval of the Plan (the “Approval Date”). The Options are exercisable for five (5) years from the grant date and allow for cashless exercise. The grants are contingent upon shareholder approval of the Plan; if not approved, the Options will be null and void. Mr. Kenig resigned following the grant and, as a result, his option was cancelled.

 

On January 2, 2026, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement (the “Klinger Agreement”) with Erik Klinger, pursuant to which Mr. Klinger will continue to serve as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, effective as of January 2, 2026.

 

The Klinger Agreement provides for an initial three-year term, automatically renewing for successive one-year periods unless either party provides timely notice of non-renewal. Mr. Klinger’s annual base salary is $120,000, payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices. Mr. Klinger is eligible to participate in the Company’s employee benefit plans available to similarly situated executives, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, and is entitled to four weeks of paid vacation per year (pro-rated for partial years).

 

On January 2, 2026, in connection with the Klinger Agreement, the Company granted Mr. Klinger a nonstatutory stock option (the “Klinger Option”) to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on December 31, 2025, pursuant to the Company’s proposed 2025 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Klinger Option is subject to twelve equal quarterly vesting installments over four years, commencing on the date of shareholder approval of the Plan (the “Approval Date”), and is otherwise subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Employee Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement entered into between the Company and Mr. Klinger. The grant of the Klinger Option is expressly contingent upon shareholder approval of the Plan; if the Plan is not approved by shareholders, the Klinger Option will be null and void.

 

Director Equity

 

On September 9, 2025, the Board approved Independent Director Agreements (each, an “Director Agreement”) with Eric Shuss, Chuck Hansen, and Haggai Ravid, pursuant to which each will serve as an independent director of the Company.

 

Under the terms of each of the Director Agreements, the independent director will receive:

  

  An annual cash retainer of $36,000, payable quarterly, and $10,000 per annum for serving as the audit committee chair, $5,000 for compensation committee chair and the governance committee chair;

  An annual equity grant under the Company’s 2024 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) with a grant date fair value of $60,000, consisting of restricted stock vesting in full after one year of service.

The Director Agreements also include standard provisions regarding indemnification, confidentiality, and compliance with applicable laws and Company policies. Each Director Agreement has an initial term of one year, subject to renewal upon mutual agreement or election at the annual stockholder meeting.

The Agreement establishes a strategic collaboration to integrate PVML’s secure, real-time data-AI infrastructure with the Company’s radar and AI-driven computer-vision technologies to enable secure, autonomous mission-data systems for defense and homeland-security applications.

 

The terms of the Agreement include:

  

  The initial term is twelve (12) months, automatically renewable for successive one-year periods unless either party gives 60-days’ prior notice of non-renewal.

 

  The Company will pay total consideration of $600,000, consisting of (i) a cash component of $250,000 payable upon execution and (ii) an equity component valued at $350,000, to be settled through the issuance of 35,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $10.00 per share.

 

  The Agreement provides for a yearly platform fee covering 2.4 million PVML Units (“PUs”) of data-processing capacity, with usage fees for consumption beyond that level.

 

  Each party retains ownership of its respective intellectual property, and the Company will own all outputs and derivatives generated through its use of the PVML platform.

  

Solar Drone Acquisition

 

On December 3, 2025, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with BladeRanger Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Israel and listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange under the ticker “BLRN” (“Seller”), and, solely for purposes of acknowledgment and certain covenants therein, Solar Drone Ltd., an Israeli corporation (the “Target Company”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Target Company (the “Acquisition”) from the Seller in consideration for the issuance by the Company to the Seller (or its designee(s)) of 1,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Buyer Shares”), and, if the average daily volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock for the five Trading Day period immediately preceding the date of effectiveness of the registration statement registering the resale of the Buyer Shares is less than $12.00 per share, Pre-Funded Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase a number of additional shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrant Shares”) equivalent to the difference between $21,600,000 and the aggregate value of the Buyer Shares based on such VWAP, such that the aggregate consideration has a value of $21,600,000.

 

II-5

 

 

On December 15, 2025, in connection with the closing of the Acquisition, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Agreement with Seller and the Target Company. Pursuant to the Amendment, Section 2.2 of the Agreement was amended to provide that, in consideration for all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Target Company (the “Company Shares”), the Company shall issue and deliver to the Seller (or its designee(s)): (a) 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Buyer Shares”); and (b) 300,000 Pre-Funded Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Initial PFWs”), each exercisable for one share of the Company’s common stock on the terms set forth in the form attached as Exhibit A to the Agreement and filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto.

 

The Amendment also provides for the issuance of additional Pre-Funded Common Stock Purchase Warrants in the form attached as Exhibit 4.1 hereto (the “Additional PFWs” and, together with the Initial PFWs, the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) if the average daily volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock for the five Trading Day period immediately preceding the date of effectiveness of the registration statement registering the resale of the Buyer Shares and Warrant Shares (as defined below) is less than $12.00 per share. In such event, the number of Additional PFWs shall equal the difference between (x) $21,600,000 divided by such average daily VWAP and (y) 1,800,000, to be issued within two Business Days following the effectiveness of such registration statement.

 

The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance at a nominal exercise price of $0.01 per share (with the aggregate exercise price, except for such nominal amount, pre-funded to the Company) and will remain exercisable until exercised in full, subject to customary adjustments, beneficial ownership limitations (9.99%), and an exchange cap of 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock prior to the initial exercise date unless shareholder approval is obtained pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635. The Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants are subject to the registration rights set forth in the Agreement.

 

QuantumSpeed

 

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

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire from Adrian 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 Adrian Agreement.

 

In consideration for the Assigned IP, the Company paid Adrian 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 delivered to Adrian 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.

  

The above securities were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as the issuances did not involve a public offering, and no underwriters were involved.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement ( or most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (Section 230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee “ table in the effective registration statement; and

 

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

Provided, however, that:

 

2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
