On September 12, 2023, the Company amended its existing strategic partnership agreement with Devvio, a related party. The Company has committed to making specific payments to Devvio. They will provide a minimum advance of $1,000,000 by August 1, 2024, followed by $1,270,000 by August 1, 2025 and August 1, 2026. Additionally, starting from 2027, if advance royalty payments fall below $1,000,000 in any year, Devvio has the right to terminate the Strategic Partnership Agreement.  On July 8, 2024, the parties further amended the agreement such that the minimum advances extended by one year and are now due as follows: $1,000,000 by August 1, 2025, followed by $1,270,000 by August 1, 2026 and August 1, 2027. Additionally starting in calendar year 2028, if advance royalty payments fall below $1,000,000 in any year, Devvio has the right to terminate the Strategic Partnership Agreement. The agreement is subsequently amended on October 28, 2025 to eliminate the aforementioned payment obligations (Note 20).

The Company has agreed to pay $42,000 within 15 days of the closing of the BCA. Such amount was paid on November 26, 2024. Commencing January 1, 2025, the Company has agreed to pay an annual fee of $12,000 of the first day of each calendar year for the use of the technology. The amounts due on January 1, 2025 are yet to be paid as of July 31, 2025. The Company has accrued $7,000 in connection with the annual fee payable as of July 31, 2025.
 
On October 29, 2024, the Company entered into the ELOC Agreement with Helena I (Note 7). Following the closing of the De-SPAC Transaction and the Helena I Registration Statement becoming effective, the Company is to issue to Helena I common shares equal to $125,000 divided by the greater of (i) the lowest one-day VWAP during the five trading days immediately preceding the effectiveness date of such Registration Statement and (ii) $7.50. The Company issued 16,666 shares in satisfaction of this commitment on March 17, 2025.

On November 13, 2024, the Company entered into a strategic consulting agreement with Focus Impact Partners, pursuant to which the Focus Impact Partners will provide the Company with certain consulting services (“Strategic Consulting Agreement”) in consideration of an annual consulting fee of $500,000, which will be payable in quarterly installments of $125,000 starting with an initial payment for the period beginning December 31, 2023. Fees due under the Strategic Consulting Agreement shall accrue and not be payable until (a) the Company has successfully raised $5,000,000 in outside debt and/or equity capital, cumulatively since the period beginning December 31, 2023 or (b) the Company has 2 or more consecutive quarters of positive cash flow from operations. As of July 31, 2025, neither condition has been met. DevvStream Corp. will pay the Focus Impact Partners additional consulting fees as to be mutually agreed consistent with market practice in connection with any acquisition, merger, consolidation, business combination, sale, divestiture, financing, refinancing, restructuring or other similar transaction. The Strategic Consulting Agreement has a term of three years unless terminated early with at least 120 days advance notice and will be automatically extended for successive one-year periods at the end of each year unless either party provide a written notice of its desire not to automatically extend at least 120 days prior to the end of each year during the term of the Strategic Consulting Agreement.

Holders of the Company’s common stock, including Focus Impact Sponsor and historical holders of Devv Holdings, as well as holders of SPAC Warrants are entitled to registration rights pursuant to registration rights agreements signed prior to the RTO, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale. The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the Initial Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act.

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 measures, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases, including redemptions, of stock by publicly traded domestic corporations in the U.S.. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation and the amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the stock repurchased. However, for the 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. During 2024, the IRS issued final regulations with respect to the timing and payment of excise tax. Pursuant to those regulations, the Company would need to file a return and remit payment for any liability incurred during the period from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 on or before October 31, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating its obligations with respect to this provision of the IR Act. As the Company was formerly a special purposes acquisition corporation, redemption of shares by shareholders took place prior to the Initial Business Combination. The Company accrued $2,410,973 in excise taxes payable (Note 8), however has not made a payment as of July 31, 2025. If the Company is unable to pay its obligations in full, it may be subject to additional interest and penalties which are currently estimated at 10% interest per annum and a 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.

From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. At July 31, 2025, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company’s operations. There are also no proceedings in which any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest.
