Mswipe
On May 13, 2025, ALT5 Sigma Corporation (the “Company” or “ALT5”) disclosed in Note 20 to its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements filed in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the "10-Q") that, effective on May 9, 2025, ALT5 and its indirect, wholly-owned second tier Canadian subsidiary entered into an agreement to purchase all of the outstanding capital stock of an entity that, through its subsidiaries, offers multi-currency, fiat- and crypto-enabled payment card services. The business trades under the name Mswipe. Through a suite of physical and virtual cards that are available on both the Visa® and Mastercard® networks, the acquired operations enable users seamlessly to spend traditional and digital currencies across the globe. The acquired platform is built with robust compliance frameworks, advanced security protocols, and real-time exchange capabilities, which allow for fast, secure, and borderless transactions. This is a B2B solution, which, when combined with our current solutions, bridges the gap between the crypto economy and traditional financial systems—while ensuring regulatory alignment, interoperability with existing payment networks, and a seamless user experience for institutional partners and their end-users.
The purchase price for this transaction consisted of our (i) issuing one million restricted shares of our common stock to the three sellers, valued at the Historical NOCP on May 9, 2025 of $6.10, (ii) granting five hundred thousand four-year common stock warrants to the three sellers, with a per-share exercise price of $5.50 (which was the approximate market price at the time that we reached an agreement in principal for this transaction), (iii) issuing shares to two of the sellers in “Alyea Therapeutics Corporation,” our biotech business that we are in process of separating from our core business, which shares we valued at $4.8 million, and (iv) issuing two 14-month straight promissory notes in the aggregate initial principal balance of approximately one million dollars with an interest rate at the AFR for quarterly compounded notes of 3.99% per annum and all principal and interest due at the maturity date. We also are acknowledging an equivalent 14-month term straight promissory note at the acquired company level that pre-dated our acquisition. The principal balance as of May 9, 2025 was approximately $5.1 million and the interest was reset to match that of the two notes that we issued. We also granted the sellers the right to one earn-out payment in the amount of $20 million (payable in cash or unregistered shares of our common stock) right if the Operating Subsidiaries generate a minimum of $15 million in annualized or actual total revenue from the assets owned by the Operating subsidiaries at May 9, 2025. Please see Exhibit 10.120 for the specific calculation modalities of the earn-out payments. None of the shares of our common stock, the shares underlying the common stock purchase warrants, and the shares of common stock of Alyea has any registration or equivalent rights.
The foregoing brief summary description of certain terms and provisions of (i) the purchase of the business that trades under the name Mswipe and the related covenant against competition do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Securities Purchase Agreement by and among ALT5 Sigma Corporation, ALT 5 Sigma, Inc., and the selling parties and related interest holders signatory thereto, in respect of the “Mswipe transaction”, dated May 9, 2025, and the form of Covenant Against Competition Agreement, a copy of each of which was filed as an exhibit to the 10-Q and is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.120 and Exhibit 10.125, respectively, (ii) the forms of Common Stock Purchase Warrant, granted May 9, 2025 in connection with the Mwsipe transaction, a copy of each of which was filed as an exhibit to the 10-Q and are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.122, 10.123, and 10.124; and (iii) the forms of the 14-month Straight Promissory Notes issued in connection with the “Mswipe transaction”, dated May 9, 2025, a copy of each of which was filed as an exhibit to the 10-Q and are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.121 and 10.126.
