Phatebo Purchase Orders Update:
On July 9, 2026, the Company announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Phatebo GmbH, had secured two purchase orders for up to approximately US$14.7 million (EUR 12.9 million) from two pharmaceutical companies (the “Orders”). In order to fulfill the Orders, the Company must secure financing necessary to purchase the required inventory. The Company clarifies that it is exploring exclusively non-dilutive forms of financing opportunities on accretive terms to the Company and the Company will not issue any additional equity securities in obtaining the financing necessary to fulfill the Orders.
There can be no assurance that such financing will be obtained on commercially acceptable terms, in sufficient amounts, on a timely basis, or at all. Failure to obtain adequate financing could delay, reduce or prevent fulfillment of some or all of the Orders.
Closing of Previously Announce Cryptocurrency Financing:
The Company also announced today the closing of the private cryptocurrency financing transaction it previously announced on March 31, 2026 (the “Financing”) following shareholder approval obtained at the Meeting.
Investors in the Financing contributed an aggregate of 142,232,948 native tokens of the Zero Gravity (0G) blockchain (the “0G Tokens”) to Texas Blocker Corp., a Texas corporation formed by ZeroStack to facilitate the Financing (“Texas Blocker”), in exchange for an aggregate of 9,104,614 shares of common stock of Texas Blocker, which were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for Common Shares of the Company.
Concurrent with the closing of the Financing, Texas Blocker became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ZeroStack and ZeroStack acquired the 142,232,948 0G Tokens held by Texas Blocker.
