Upon achievement of the first operational integration milestone, SaverOne issues VisionWave ordinary shares representing 19.99% of SaverOne’s outstanding share capital (fully diluted), in exchange for VisionWave common stock valued at approximately $2.74 million.

The JV Agreement does not specify a fixed expiration date for this restriction.

The JV Agreement further provides that if no Designated Project generates revenue prior to April 1, 2027, the JV Agreement may be terminated, in which case the consideration contributed by each party, including the shares described above, would be returned to its original contributor (Tokenize and GBT, in the case of these shares) without compensation.

As of June 30, 2026, no designated project had generated revenue. If this termination right were exercised, the Company would derecognize its interest in the JV LLC and account for the effects of the JV's dissolution in the period of termination.
