On July 14, 2025, the Company closed 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 the close of the Business Combination occurred after June 30, 2025, financial statement of the Target are not complete and not included in this Form 10-Q.

 

Business Combination Consideration


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 2,540,353 shares of common stock of VisionWave (“VisionWave 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 VisionWave.

In addition to the 2,540,353 shares of VisionWave Common Stock issued upon closing of the Business Combination, 11,000,000 shares of VisionWave Common Stock were issued to Target shareholders. Additionally, 690,000 public rights and 40,600 private rights were issued.

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.

 

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

 

The July 2025 Notes 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. The July 2025 Lenders represented that they are accredited investors as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

 

Policies

 

On July 16, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the following policies:

  

  A Policy on Granting Equity Awards, which establishes procedures for granting equity awards under the Company’s equity compensation plans, including authority, timing, and error correction processes.
     
  A Code of Ethics, which sets forth standards of conduct for the Company’s associates, including honesty, avoidance of conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, and proper accounting practices.
     
  An Insider Trading Policy, which prohibits insider trading, defines material non-public information, establishes blackout periods, and imposes additional restrictions on certain personnel.

 

Additionally, on May 29, 2025, the Board of Directors adopted a Compensation Recovery Policy, effective as of such date, which provides for the recovery of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation from executive officers in the event of an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements, in accordance with Nasdaq listing rules and Rule 10D-1 under the Exchange Act.

 

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 (“Investor”) pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to 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 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 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 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”), 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 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”).

 

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 Investor at the Conversion Price in consideration of an offset of the Convertible Notes (“Investor Advance”). Investor, in its sole discretion, may select the amount of any Investor Advance, provided that the number of shares issued does not cause 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 Investor 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 Investor, except with respect to Investor Advances. 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. The Company and Investor may also agree to terminate the SEPA by mutual written consent. Neither the Company nor 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 Investor’s commitment to purchase the shares of common stock pursuant the SEPA, the Company paid 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 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.

 

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”).

Standby Equity Purchase Agreement

 

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).

 

In addition, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Investor agreed to fund an additional $2,000,000 in principal amount (the “Additional Advance”) under the terms of a new convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $2,000,000 (the “New Note” and, together with the Second Note, the “Additional Notes”) upon the effectiveness of the registration statement filed by the Company on August 29, 2025, in connection with the SEPA (the “Registration Statement”). The purchase price for the New Note will be $1,880,000 (94% of the principal amount, reflecting a 6% discount). The Company acknowledged in the Letter Agreement that it is not required to modify, amend, or supplement the existing Registration Statement to include any shares underlying the New Note, and, other than as may be set forth in the New Note, the Company is not obligated to file a new registration statement relating to such shares.

 

Terms of the Second Note

 

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.

 

If an Amortization Event occurs (defined as a Floor Price Event, Exchange Cap Event, or Registration Event, as set forth in the Second Note), the Company must make monthly cash payments beginning on the 10th trading day after the Amortization Event Date and continuing on the same day of each successive calendar month until the entire outstanding principal amount is repaid. Each monthly payment equals the sum of (i) $750,000 of principal (or the outstanding principal if less), (ii) a 7% payment premium on such principal amount, and (iii) accrued and unpaid interest. The obligation to make such payments ceases if the Amortization Event is cured.

 

The Company may, at its option, redeem early a portion or all amounts outstanding under the Second Note by providing written notice to the Investor, provided the VWAP of the common stock was less than the fixed conversion price on the notice date (unless otherwise agreed). The redemption amount includes the principal being redeemed, a 5% redemption premium, and accrued interest. The Investor has 10 trading days to elect to convert any portion of the Second Note before redemption.

 

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.

 

Terms of the New Note

 

The New Note will have a maturity date of 12 months from its issuance date (as may be extended at the option of the Investor). Interest will accrue on the outstanding principal balance at an annual rate of 12%, 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.

 

Beginning on the three-month anniversary of the issuance date and continuing monthly, the Company must repay $200,000 of principal (or the outstanding principal if less), plus a 7% payment premium and accrued interest (the “Installment Amount”). The Company may pay the Installment Amount in cash or by submitting Advance Notices under the SEPA (with proceeds offsetting the Installment Amount). Any Advance Notice while the New Note is outstanding is treated as repayment first.

 

The Company may, at its option, redeem early a portion or all amounts outstanding under the New Note by providing written notice to the Investor, provided the VWAP of the Common Stock was less than the conversion price on the notice date (unless otherwise agreed). The redemption amount includes the principal being redeemed, a 5% redemption premium, and accrued interest. The Investor has 10 trading days to elect to convert any portion of the New Note before redemption.

 

The New Note is convertible at any time into shares of Common Stock at $12.00 per share, subject to adjustments for stock splits, combinations, reclassifications, and dilutive issuances below the conversion price (with certain exclusions). Conversions are subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation.

 

The New 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 New Note is outstanding, subject to exceptions.

 

Additional Covenants in the Letter Agreement

 

Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Company granted the Investor a right of first refusal for 12 months following September 11, 2025, with respect to any financing transaction involving the issuance or sale of securities (including debt, equity, equity-linked securities, notes, or debentures, but excluding ATM offerings at prevailing market prices). The Company must provide written notice of any such proposed transaction, and the Investor has 10 business days to elect to participate. If the Investor declines, the Company may proceed with a third party on terms no more beneficial than those offered to the Investor, within 60 days.

 

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. The Company will also reimburse CTMG for pre-approved reasonable expenses.

 

The CTMG Agreement contemplates a potential capital formation structure of up to $300 million, with allocations into crypto assets such as Bitcoin and Solana, subject to the Company’s approval and market conditions; however, there can be no assurance that the transaction will close or that it will be consummated on the anticipated terms or at all. In the event this strategy is successfully implemented, which is not guaranteed and depends on various factors including management’s ability to execute effectively, the Company has committed to staking a minimum of 70% of its crypto treasury assets for at least two years, although such implementation may face challenges or fail to achieve expected outcomes due to market volatility, regulatory changes, or other risks. CTMG will not act as a broker-dealer or engage in activities requiring such registration. The Company, in an effort to replace its current financing structure, intends to structure the transaction and use the non-staked portion as funding for its defense business and potentially leverage the stakeable portion for M&A activity in the defense arena, though these intentions are forward-looking and subject to uncertainties that could prevent or alter their realization.

 

The CTMG Agreement includes standard provisions regarding confidentiality, non-circumvention, independent contractor status, compliance with laws (including securities, AML/KYC, and tax regulations), warranties, indemnification, limitation of liability, and governing law (Delaware).

Short Term Funding

 

On July 15, 2025, Bannix entered into a Securities Purchase Agreements (the “July 2025 SPAs”) with two unaffiliated accredited investors (“July 2025 Lenders”), pursuant to which Bannix 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 Bannix’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. Bannix 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 Bannix’s common stock during the term of the July 2025 Notes. The July 2025 Notes include customary representations, warranties, covenants, and default provisions. Bannix 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.

 

The July 2025 Notes 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. The July 2025 Lenders represented that they are accredited investors as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

 

Policies

 

On July 16, 2025, the Board of Directors of Bannix adopted the following policies:

 

  A Policy on Granting Equity Awards, which establishes procedures for granting equity awards under Bannix’s equity compensation plans, including authority, timing, and error correction processes.
     
  A Code of Ethics, which sets forth standards of conduct for Bannix’s associates, including honesty, avoidance of conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, and proper accounting practices.
     
  An Insider Trading Policy, which prohibits insider trading, defines material non-public information, establishes blackout periods, and imposes additional restrictions on certain personnel.

 

Additionally, on May 29, 2025, the Board of Directors adopted a Compensation Recovery Policy, effective as of such date, which provides for the recovery of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation from executive officers in the event of an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements, in accordance with Nasdaq listing rules and Rule 10D-1 under the Exchange Act.

 

Standby Equity Purchase Agreement

 

On July 25, 2025, Bannix entered into the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”) with YA II PN, LTD, a Cayman Islands exempt limited partnership (“Investor”) pursuant to which Bannix has the right to sell to 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 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, Bannix 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 Bannix 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 Bannix in the Advance Notice or there is no VWAP on the subject trading day. Bannix may establish a minimum acceptable price in each Advance Notice below which Bannix 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 has agreed to advance to Bannix 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 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 Bannix’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 Bannix shall pay to 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 Bannix. 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) Bannix 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 Bannix 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 Bannix 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”).

 

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 Investor at the Conversion Price in consideration of an offset of the Convertible Notes (“Investor Advance”). Investor, in its sole discretion, may select the amount of any Investor Advance, provided that the number of shares issued does not cause 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 Investor Advance, the amounts payable under the Convertible Notes will be offset by such amount subject to each Investor Advance.

 

Bannix will control the timing and amount of any sales of shares of common stock to Investor, except with respect to Investor Advances. 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 Bannix from time to time, which may include, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of Bannix’s common stock and determinations by Bannix 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 Bannix has paid all amounts owed to Investor pursuant to the Convertible Notes. Bannix and Investor may also agree to terminate the SEPA by mutual written consent. Neither Bannix nor 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 Investor’s commitment to purchase the shares of common stock pursuant the SEPA, Bannix paid Investor, (i) a structuring fee in the amount of $35,000 and (ii) 200,000 shares of common stock as an equity fee. Further, Bannix 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 Bannix will depend on the frequency and prices at which Bannix sells its shares of common stock to Investor. Bannix expects that any proceeds received from such sales to Investor will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan

 

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

Payment or issuance will occur within 10 business days after the election (or default to cash if no election is made within 10 business days).

 

Standby Equity Purchase Agreement

 

On September 11, 2025, Bannix 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 Bannix 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 Bannix 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).

 

In addition, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Investor agreed to fund an additional $2,000,000 in principal amount (the “Additional Advance”) under the terms of a new convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $2,000,000 (the “New Note” and, together with the Second Note, the “Additional Notes”) upon the effectiveness of the registration statement filed by Bannix on August 29, 2025, in connection with the SEPA (the “Registration Statement”). The purchase price for the New Note will be $1,880,000 (94% of the principal amount, reflecting a 6% discount). Bannix acknowledged in the Letter Agreement that it is not required to modify, amend, or supplement the existing Registration Statement to include any shares underlying the New Note, and, other than as may be set forth in the New Note, Bannix is not obligated to file a new registration statement relating to such shares.

 

Terms of the Second Note

 

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.

 

If an Amortization Event occurs (defined as a Floor Price Event, Exchange Cap Event, or Registration Event, as set forth in the Second Note), Bannix must make monthly cash payments beginning on the 10th trading day after the Amortization Event Date and continuing on the same day of each successive calendar month until the entire outstanding principal amount is repaid. Each monthly payment equals the sum of (i) $750,000 of principal (or the outstanding principal if less), (ii) a 7% payment premium on such principal amount, and (iii) accrued and unpaid interest. The obligation to make such payments ceases if the Amortization Event is cured.

 

Bannix may, at its option, redeem early a portion or all amounts outstanding under the Second Note by providing written notice to the Investor, provided the VWAP of the common stock was less than the fixed conversion price on the notice date (unless otherwise agreed). The redemption amount includes the principal being redeemed, a 5% redemption premium, and accrued interest. The Investor has 10 trading days to elect to convert any portion of the Second Note before redemption.

 

The Second Note is convertible at any time into shares of Bannix’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 Bannix). 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. Bannix may not engage in variable rate transactions while the Second Note is outstanding, subject to exceptions.

 

Terms of the New Note

 

The New Note will have a maturity date of 12 months from its issuance date (as may be extended at the option of the Investor). Interest will accrue on the outstanding principal balance at an annual rate of 12%, 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.

 

Beginning on the three-month anniversary of the issuance date and continuing monthly, Bannix must repay $200,000 of principal (or the outstanding principal if less), plus a 7% payment premium and accrued interest (the “Installment Amount”). Bannix may pay the Installment Amount in cash or by submitting Advance Notices under the SEPA (with proceeds offsetting the Installment Amount). Any Advance Notice while the New Note is outstanding is treated as repayment first.

 

Bannix may, at its option, redeem early a portion or all amounts outstanding under the New Note by providing written notice to the Investor, provided the VWAP of the Common Stock was less than the conversion price on the notice date (unless otherwise agreed). The redemption amount includes the principal being redeemed, a 5% redemption premium, and accrued interest. The Investor has 10 trading days to elect to convert any portion of the New Note before redemption.

 

The New Note is convertible at any time into shares of Common Stock at $12.00 per share, subject to adjustments for stock splits, combinations, reclassifications, and dilutive issuances below the conversion price (with certain exclusions). Conversions are subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation.

 

The New 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. Bannix may not engage in variable rate transactions while the New Note is outstanding, subject to exceptions.

 

Additional Covenants in the Letter Agreement

 

Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, Bannix granted the Investor a right of first refusal for 12 months following September 11, 2025, with respect to any financing transaction involving the issuance or sale of securities (including debt, equity, equity-linked securities, notes, or debentures, but excluding ATM offerings at prevailing market prices). Bannix must provide written notice of any such proposed transaction, and the Investor has 10 business days to elect to participate. If the Investor declines, Bannix may proceed with a third party on terms no more beneficial than those offered to the Investor, within 60 days.

 

Consulting Agreement

 

On September 26, 2025, Bannix 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 Bannix 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, Bannix 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 Bannix’s treasury; and (iii) 250,000 shares of Bannix’s common stock upon closing of the crypto treasury transaction, subject to SEC Rule 144 restrictions and inclusion in future registration statements where applicable. Bannix will also reimburse CTMG for pre-approved reasonable expenses.

 

The CTMG Agreement contemplates a potential capital formation structure of up to $300 million, with allocations into crypto assets such as Bitcoin and Solana, subject to Bannix’s approval and market conditions; however, there can be no assurance that the transaction will close or that it will be consummated on the anticipated terms or at all. In the event this strategy is successfully implemented, which is not guaranteed and depends on various factors including management’s ability to execute effectively, Bannix has committed to staking a minimum of 70% of its crypto treasury assets for at least two years, although such implementation may face challenges or fail to achieve expected outcomes due to market volatility, regulatory changes, or other risks. CTMG will not act as a broker-dealer or engage in activities requiring such registration. Bannix, in an effort to replace its current financing structure, intends to structure the transaction and use the non-staked portion as funding for its defense business and potentially leverage the stakeable portion for M&A activity in the defense arena, though these intentions are forward-looking and subject to uncertainties that could prevent or alter their realization.

 

The CTMG Agreement includes standard provisions regarding confidentiality, non-circumvention, independent contractor status, compliance with laws (including securities, AML/KYC, and tax regulations), warranties, indemnification, limitation of liability, and governing law (Delaware).

 

The proposed adoption of a crypto reserve strategy, including the establishment of a digital asset treasury as contemplated in the Agreement will only be implemented upon obtaining regulatory approval, if any, from relevant authorities, including compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements. Additionally, the implementation of the crypto reserve strategy may require shareholder approval to the extent such approval is deemed necessary by Bannix’s board of directors or required by regulatory bodies. Bannix will ensure all necessary approvals are obtained prior to the execution of the crypto reserve strategy and will provide further updates as required by law.

 

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 30, 2025.
