On April 3, 2025, CapForce entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with the European Credit Investment Bank (“ECIB”), a full-fledged, global facing mid-shore investment bank in Labuan, Malaysia licensed by the Labuan Financial Services Authority, pursuant to which the parties agreed to form a joint venture company named CapForce EC Capital Markets Ltd. (the “Joint Venture”) for purposes of developing and operating a stock trading platform (the “Trading Platform”) and digital investment banking platform across Asia and the rest of the world (the “Digital IB Platform,” and together with the Trading Platform, the “Platforms”). The Platforms encompass (i) a community-focused cross border stock trading platform; (ii) a FinTech-enabled cap table management platform; and (iii) an advanced computational model-enabled investment banking advisory platform for public listing sponsorship and wealth management. Pursuant to the JV Agreement, CapForce will own 49% of the outstanding equity interests of the Joint Venture, and ECIB will own 51% of outstanding equity interests of the Joint Venture. Under the JV Agreement, the parties agreed to strategically collaborate in order to develop the Platforms. The parties agreed to equally split all profits earned by the Joint Venture and all capital expenditures and operating expenses in the development and operation of the Trading Platform. With respect to operations unrelated to the Trading Platform, CapForce will be entitled to receive 80% of the profits of the Joint Venture if the Joint Ventures revenues are less than $10.0 million or 90% of the profits of the Joint Venture if its revenues exceed $10.0 million. The JV Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the parties, including relating to the responsibilities and obligations of each party in managing and governing the Joint Venture. In particular, CapForce will have the right to appoint two directors to the board of directors of the Joint Venture, and ECIB will have the right to appoint one director to the board of directors of the Joint Venture. In the JV Agreement, ECIB granted CapForce an option to purchase between 11% and 30% of the equity interests of ECIB held in the Joint Venture. The purchase price for such option and the actual amount of equity interests must be mutually agreed upon by the parties. Upon the formation of the Joint Venture, CapForce will retain contractual control over the Joint Venture, including for accounting consolidation purposes.
