Risks Related to Nukkleus’sOur Business

Added

The audited consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.

Added

The Company recorded negative working capital of approximately $30 million (which includes $24.5 million of stock purchase warrant liabilities which will not require any cash to extinguish) and stockholders’ deficit of $15.6 million as of December 31, 2025; a net operating loss of $32.6 million and net cash used in operations of $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. Absent any other action, the Company will require additional liquidity to continue its operations for the next 12 months.

Added

After evaluating these conditions, management concluded that its plans, when considered in aggregate, alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Those plans include: (i) cancellation of a previously contemplated $16 million intercompany note obligation arising from the acquisition of Star 26, which has been mutually agreed to be of no force or effect; (ii) the Company's existing unrestricted cash balance of approximately $7.0 million, sufficient to fund projected operating expenses of its portfolio companies through the look-forward period; (iii) an active Equity Line of Credit ("ELOC") with Esousa Holdings, LLC — legally binding, SEC-registered, and shareholder-approved — providing estimated monthly drawdown capacity of approximately $6.6 million, which exceeds the Company's projected annual operating cash needs; (iv) the Company's majority-owned subsidiaries, including Rimon Ltd. and Nimbus Robotics, which are cash-positive and require no capital support from the Company; (v) management's ongoing efforts to assist subsidiaries in securing or expanding bank credit facilities; (vi) the option to satisfy certain obligations through issuance of equity in lieu of cash; and (vii) the Company's demonstrated track record of capital markets execution, including the completion of PIPE transactions raising approximately $20 million in the prior twelve months.

Added

Management has determined that its plans are probable of being effectively implemented and probable of mitigating the conditions described above, enabling continuation of the Company’s operations for the foreseeable future.

Added

Our unprecedented transformation from financial technology to aerospace and defense lacks any operational track record and may completely fail.

Added

We have recently completed our business model transformation. This transformation required or requires us to: divest our existing operations; acquire and integrate multiple defense companies; establish new regulatory compliance systems for ITAR, DFARS, and other regulations; obtain facility security clearances that typically take 12-18 months; recruit cleared personnel in a competitive market; and develop prime contractor relationships from scratch, all within a short timeframe.

Added

We have never managed a defense program, never held a government contract, never obtained security clearances, and have no established relationships with prime defense contractors. The defense industry operates under fundamentally different business models, regulations, and customer requirements than financial services. There is no assurance that we will successfully execute this transformation or generate any returns from the substantial capital being deployed. Our complete lack of defense industry track record means investors are funding an entirely unproven strategy that may result in total loss of invested capital.

Added

We are attempting to integrate multiple defense companies simultaneously without any aerospace and defense experience.

Added

We have recently acquired Star 26, Tiltan and Nimbus, ITS, and are constantly pursuing other targets, all within a compressed timeframe and without any defense industry acquisition or integration experience. Each acquisition involves different countries (U.S., Israel, Europe), currencies, regulatory regimes, and business models. Managing simultaneous integrations of this magnitude typically requires extensive expertise, dedicated integration teams, and proven playbooks—none of which we possess.

Added

Historical data shows that 70-90% of acquisitions fail to achieve projected synergies, and our complete lack of industry experience significantly increases this failure risk. We may discover post-closing that acquired technologies are obsolete, customer relationships are not transferable, key employees depart, or compliance violations trigger penalties. The complexity of simultaneous multi-jurisdictional defense acquisitions without relevant experience creates extreme execution risk.

Added

Our Chief Executive Officer’s commitments to other companies may limit his ability to devote full-time attention to our business and could result in competition or conflicts of interest, which could adversely affect our operations and financial performance.

Added

Menachem Shalom, our Chief Executive Officer, also serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Star 26, Motomova Inc., and Hold Me Ltd. These roles require Mr. Shalom to devote significant time and resources to the management and strategic direction of these other companies, which may reduce the time and attention he can dedicate to T3. This divided focus could impair our ability to execute our business strategy, particularly as we transition to a defense-focused company following the acquisition of Star 26. The competing demands on Mr. Shalom’s time may delay critical decision-making, hinder our ability to respond to market opportunities, or weaken our operational oversight, all of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Added

Furthermore, the businesses of Star 26, Motomova Inc., and Hold Me Ltd. may operate in sectors or pursue opportunities that compete with our current or future operations. While Star 26 is now our wholly-owned subsidiary, Motomova Inc. and Hold Me Ltd. are separate entities with potentially divergent interests. Mr. Shalom’s involvement in these companies could lead to conflicts of interest, including the allocation of business opportunities, resources, or strategic priorities that may favor these other entities over T3. Any such competition or conflicts could harm our competitive position, limit our growth prospects, and negatively impact the value of our securities.

Removed

Failure to complete the acquisition of Star may result in paying a termination fee to Star and could harm our common stock price and future business and operations.

Removed

If the acquisition of Star is not completed, we are subject to the following risks:

Removed

If the Star Agreement is terminated and the board of directors of the Company determines to seek another business combination, there can be no assurance that we will be able to find another third party to transact a business combination with, yielding comparable or greater benefits.

Removed

If the conditions to the Star Agreement are not satisfied or waived, the acquisition may not occur.

Removed

Even if the Star acquisition is approved by the stockholders of the Company, specified conditions must be satisfied or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waived to complete the acquisition. These conditions are set forth in the Star Agreement. We cannot assure you that all of the conditions to the consummation of the acquisition will be satisfied or waived. If the conditions are not satisfied or waived, the acquisition may not occur or the closing may be delayed.

Removed

We have a limited operating history in an evolving and highly volatile industry, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not be successful.

Removed

Nukkleus, the wholly owned operating subsidiary, was formed in 2013 and since then our business model has continued to evolve. In 2021, we acquired a controlling interest in Match. In 2019, our Digital RFQ indirect subsidiary, and wholly owned subsidiary of Match, began to operate a payment processing business partly using blockchain technology. The comparability of our results in prior quarterly or annual periods should not be viewed as an indication of future performance. The “blockchain technology” used by Digital RFQ in its payment processing business and referred to throughout this annual report is intended to refer to stablecoins operated on the Bitcoin, Ethereum and Tron networks, or such other blockchain networks as Digital RFQ may determine to be reliable and well established in the financial services industry, at an advanced stage and fully tested and collaterialized based on certain criteria summarized below. The blockchain networks used by Digital RFQ in its payment processing business are maintained and operated by third parties.

Removed

Because Digital RFQ makes use of blockchain technology only to process payments and does not hold digital assets, the criteria for the adoption and use of any blockchain network may differ from those of investors in stablecoins. Digital RFQ evaluates each blockchain and/or stablecoin on a daily and transaction-by-transaction basis, to minimize any risk associated with the blockchain or stablecoin and to ensure that Digital RFQ can reliably complete the transaction in and out of the stablecoin quickly to minimize such risk. Digital RFQ determines that a blockchain or stablecoin is suitable for use in its payment processing services by assessing the following criteria:

Removed

To determine whether any blockchain technology meets Digital RFQ’s requirements and is a suitable candidate for use in Digital RFQ’s payment processing business, we assess the following criteria. We monitor these criteria for each blockchain or stablecoin we use regularly on an ongoing basis:

Removed

However, because Digital RFQ makes use of blockchain technology only to process payments, and does not hold digital assets, we are able to constantly monitor the status of any blockchain network or stablecoin before, during and after a payment is processed, and determine which of the available blockchain networks is suitable for a particular transaction. We therefore do not believe we are exposed to material risks associated with holding stablecoins or other digital assets. Furthermore, we do not use stablecoins of an algorithmic nature, and in the event that we determine any particular stablecoin presents a threat or risk to the security of our business, customers or the transactions we process, we promptly move to another stablecoin network. We do not accept payment in digital assets and do not hold digital assets for investment or offer digital wallet services.

Removed

Because we have a limited history operating our business at its current scale and scope, it is difficult to evaluate our current business and future prospects, including our ability to plan for and model future growth. For example, recently launched services require substantial resources and there is no guarantee that such expenditures will result in profit or growth of our business. The rapidly evolving nature of the market in which we operate, substantial uncertainty concerning how these markets may develop, and other economic factors beyond our control, reduces our ability to accurately forecast quarterly or annual revenue. Failure to manage our current and future growth effectively could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Reworded

In our recent acquisitions, including our acquisitionacquisitions of MatchStar 26, Tiltan and our proposed acqisition of Star,Nimbus, our business has become increasingly complex by expanding the services we offer to include financial services and payment processing services.complex. To effectively manage and capitalize on our growth, we must continue to expand our information technology and financial, operating, and administrative systems and controls, and continue to manage headcount, capital, and processes efficiently. Our continued growth could strain our existing resources, and we could experience ongoing operating difficulties in managing our business as it expands across numerous jurisdictions,expands, including difficulties in hiring, training, and managing an employee base. Failure to scale and preserve our company culture with growth could harm our future success, including our ability to retain and recruit personnel and to effectively focus on and pursue our corporate objectives. If we do not adapt to meet these evolving challenges, or if our management team does not effectively scale with our growth, we may experience erosion to our brand,reputation and the qualityintegration of our products and services may suffer, and our company culture may be harmed. services. Moreover, the failure of our systems and processes could undermine our ability to provide accurate, timely, and reliable reports on our financial and operating results, including the financial statements provided herein, and could impact the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. In addition, our systems and processes may not prevent or detect all errors, omissions, or fraud, though we have experienced no such material errors, omissions or fraud in the past. For example, our employees may fail to identify transaction errors or fraudulent information provided by our customers. Any of the foregoing operational failures could lead to noncompliance with laws, loss of operatingrevenues, licenses or other government authorizations, or loss of bank relationships that could substantially impair or even suspend company operations.

Added

We have divested our financial technology business and are now building a defense business, creating operational complexity and execution risk.

Added

We are now focused on acquiring and integrating defense companies. This dual-track strategy has required and may continue to require management attention and resources across divergent activities, including: negotiating divestiture terms while managing acquisition integrations; maintaining legacy compliance obligations while implementing new defense regulations; supporting existing financial services customers during transition while pursuing defense customers; and managing employee uncertainty across both divesting and acquiring operations. The complexity of completing divestitures and acquisitions within a short timeframe significantly increases execution risk and the potential for value destruction in both transactions.

Added

We are subject to heightened operational and cybersecurity risks.

Added

We are subject to heightened operational and cybersecurity risks. Many of our employees work from their homes or other non-company dwellings. Technologies in our employees’ and service providers’ homes and shared office spaces may not be as robust and could cause the networks, information systems, applications, and other tools available to employees and service providers to be more limited or less reliable. Further, the security systems in place at our employees’ and service providers’ homes and shared office spaces may be less secure than those used in corporate offices, and while we have implemented technical and administrative safeguards to help protect our systems when our employees and service providers work from home, we may be subject to increased cybersecurity risk which could expose us to risks of data or financial loss, and could disrupt our business operations. There is no guarantee that the data security and privacy safeguards we have put in place will be completely effective or that we will not encounter risks associated with employees and service providers accessing company data and systems remotely.

Added

Our pivot from fintech to the defense sector exposes us to new operational, regulatory, and market risks for which we have limited prior experience.

Added

We have successfully transitioned our business focus from financial technology services to the distribution of advanced defense technologies, primarily through exclusive distribution agreements with Israeli-based companies. This pivot represents a significant shift in our operations, requiring us to develop new expertise in the defense and homeland security markets, including sales, marketing, compliance, and supply chain management tailored to highly regulated industries. Our management team and employees have limited experience in the defense sector, which may result in challenges adapting to industry-specific practices, customer requirements, and competitive dynamics. Failure to effectively manage this transition could lead to operational inefficiencies, delays in fulfilling distribution obligations, or inability to capitalize on market opportunities, adversely affecting our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Added

We have an exclusive distribution agreement with an Israeli supplier, and any termination, non-renewal, or disruption in this relationship could severely impact our operations.

Added

In August 2025 we executed an exclusive U.S. distribution agreement with BladeRanger Ltd. for drone payload systems. This agreement grants us rights limited to the U.S. defense and homeland security markets and imposes minimum purchase or revenue commitments (e.g., 5, 10, and 15 payloads in Years 1-3). Failure to meet these commitments could result in termination of the agreement, loss of exclusivity, or penalties, forcing us to seek alternative suppliers on less favorable terms or cease operations in these product lines. Any disputes with our suppliers, changes in their business strategies, or external factors affecting their ability to supply products (such as production delays or quality issues) could disrupt our inventory, delay deliveries to customers, and lead to lost revenue or reputational damage.

Added

Our minimum purchase and revenue commitments under the BladeRanger distribution agreement creates financial risks, including potential cash flow strains and inventory overhang.

Added

The BladeRanger agreement requires us to meet escalating minimum commitments, starting at 5 payloads in Year 1 and increasing thereafter. If market demand falls short—due to economic downturns, technological shifts, or competitive pressures—we may be forced to purchase excess inventory or incur shortfall penalties, straining our liquidity and working capital. Excess inventory could lead to obsolescence write-offs if products become outdated before sale. Our ability to finance these commitments depends on generating sufficient cash flows or accessing capital markets, and failure to do so could lead to defaults, termination of agreements, or dilution of shareholder equity through additional financing.

Added

We have entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with minimum purchase and revenue commitments that we may be unable to meet, which could result in the loss of exclusivity or termination of these agreements, materially harming our business and financial condition.

Added

Our exclusive distribution agreement with BladeRanger Ltd. requires us to achieve substantial minimum purchase targets. Specifically, we must purchase minimum quantities of drone payloads from BladeRanger (5 units in Year 1, 10 units in Year 2, and 15 units in Year 3). If we fail to meet these commitments, we may lose our exclusive distribution rights or face agreement termination, which would adversely impact our defense sector strategy.

Removed

We face intense and increasing competition and, if we do not compete effectively, our competitive positioning and our operating results will be harmed.

Removed

We operate in a rapidly changing and highly competitive industry, and our results of operations and future prospects depend on, among other things:

Removed

Despite the regulatory barriers to enter the markets we serve, we expect our competition to continue to increase. In addition to established enterprises, we may also face competition from early-stage companies attempting to capitalize on the same, or similar, opportunities as we are. Some of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, particularly with respect to our digital financial services products, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, and a larger customer base than we do. This allows them, among others, to potentially offer more competitive pricing or other terms or features, a broader range of digital financial products, or a more specialized set of specific products or services, as well as respond more quickly than we can to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer preferences.

Removed

Our existing or future competitors may develop products or services that are similar to our products and services or that achieve greater market acceptance than our products and services. This could attract new customers away from our services and reduce our market share in the future. Additionally, when new competitors seek to enter our markets, or when existing market participants seek to increase their market share, these competitors sometimes undercut, or otherwise exert pressure on, the pricing terms prevalent in that market, which could adversely affect our market share and/or ability to capitalize on new market opportunities.

Removed

We currently compete at multiple levels with a variety of competitors, including:

Removed

Because we do not currently control a bank or a bank holding company, we may be subject to regulation by a variety of state, federal and international regulators across our products and services and we rely on third-party banks to provide payment-processing services to our customers. This regulation by federal, state and international authorities increases our compliance costs, as we navigate multiple regimes with different examination schedules and processes and varying disclosure requirements.

Removed

We believe that our ability to compete depends upon many factors, both within and beyond our control, including the following:

Removed

Our current and future business prospects demand that we act to meet these competitive challenges but, in doing so, our revenue and results of operations could be adversely affected if we, for example, increase marketing expenditures or make other expenditures. All of the foregoing factors and events could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and future prospects.

Removed

Our business involves the collection, storage, processing and transmission of confidential information, customer, employee, service provider and other personal data, as well as information required to access customer assets. We have built our reputation on the premise that our products and services offer customers a secure way to accept and make payments and store value. As a result, any actual or perceived security breach of us or our third-party partners may:

Removed

Further, any actual or perceived breach or cybersecurity attack directed at other financial institutions or blockchain companies, whether or not we are directly impacted, could lead to a general loss of customer confidence in the use of technology to conduct financial transactions, which could negatively impact us including the market perception of the effectiveness of our security measures and technology infrastructure.

Removed

An increasing number of organizations, including large businesses, technology companies and financial institutions, as well as government institutions, have disclosed breaches of their information security systems, some of which have involved sophisticated and highly targeted attacks, including on their websites, mobile applications, and infrastructure. Attacks upon systems across a variety of industries, including the payment processing, forex and CFD industry, are increasing in their frequency, persistence, and sophistication, and, in many cases, are being conducted by sophisticated, well-funded, and organized groups and individuals, including state actors. The techniques used to obtain unauthorized, improper, or illegal access to systems and information (including customers’ personal data and digital assets), disable or degrade services, or sabotage systems are constantly evolving, may be difficult to detect quickly, and often are not recognized or detected until after they have been launched against a target. These attacks may occur on our systems or those of our third-party service providers or partners. Certain types of cyberattacks could harm us even if our systems are left undisturbed. For example, attacks may be designed to deceive employees and service providers into releasing control of our systems to a hacker, while others may aim to introduce computer viruses or malware into our systems with a view to stealing confidential or proprietary data. Additionally, certain threats are designed to remain dormant or undetectable until launched against a target and we may not be able to implement adequate preventative measures.

Removed

Although we do not have a past history of material security breaches or cyberattacks, and do not believe we are a target of such breaches or attacks, we have developed systems and processes designed to protect the data we manage, prevent data loss and other security breaches, effectively respond to known and potential risks. We expect to continue to expend significant resources to bolster these protections, but there can be no assurance that these security measures will provide absolute security or prevent breaches or attacks. Threats can come from a variety of sources, including criminal hackers, hacktivists, state-sponsored intrusions, industrial espionage, and insiders. Certain threat actors may be supported by significant financial and technological resources, making them even more sophisticated and difficult to detect. As a result, our costs and the resources we devote to protecting against these advanced threats and their consequences may increase over time.

Removed

Although we maintain insurance coverage that we believe is adequate for our business, it may be insufficient to protect us against all losses and costs stemming from security breaches, cyberattacks, and other types of unlawful activity, or any resulting disruptions from such events. Outages and disruptions of our systems, including any caused by cyberattacks, may harm our reputation and our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Added

During our transformation period, we are building new technology infrastructure to support defense operations and have divested our legacy financial technology systems. Our reputation and ability to grow our defense business depends on our ability to develop and maintain systems that meet defense industry standards for reliability, scalability, and performance, including compliance with DFARS cybersecurity requirements and maintaining systems capable of handling classified information processing once we obtain necessary clearances. The proper functioning of our future defense products and services will depend on secure networks, encrypted communications, and systems that meet government security standards.

Removed

Our reputation and ability to grow our business depends on our ability to operate our service at high levels of reliability, scalability, and performance, including the ability to process and monitor, on a daily basis, a large number of transactions that occur at high volume and frequencies across multiple systems. The proper functioning of our products and services, the ability of our customers to make and receive payments, and our ability to operate at a high level, are dependent on our ability to access the blockchain networks underlying our Platforms and other supported blockchain-based products and technology, for which access is dependent on our systems’ ability to access the internet. Further, the successful and continued operations of such blockchain networks will depend on a network of computers, miners, or validators, and their continued operations, all of which may be impacted by service interruptions.

Reworded

Our systems, the systems of our third-party service providers and partners, and certaindefense blockchainnetworks networks,we will interact with, have experienced from time to time and may experience in the future service interruptions or degradation because of hardware and software defects or malfunctions, distributed denial-of-service denial-of-service and other cyberattacks, insider threats, break-ins, sabotage, human error, vandalism, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, fires, and other natural disasters, power losses, disruptions in telecommunications services, fraud, military or political conflicts, terrorist attacks, computer viruses or other malware, or other events. In addition, extraordinary site usage could cause our computer systems to operate at an unacceptably slow speed or even fail. Some of our systems, includingparticularly systems of companiesthose we have acquired,acquired from Star 26 and Tiltan, or the systems of our third-party service providers and partners are not fully redundant, and our or their disaster recovery planning may not be sufficient for all possible outcomes or events.

Added

If any of our systems, or those of our third-party service providers, are disrupted for any reason, our defense products and services may fail, resulting in unanticipated disruptions, slower response times and delays in our services. For defense contracts, system failures could result in program delays, cost overruns, performance penalties, or contract terminations. This could lead to missed contract milestones, incomplete or inaccurate program reporting, loss of sensitive government information, increased demand on limited program management resources, government claims, and complaints with regulatory organizations, lawsuits, or enforcement actions. A prolonged interruption in the availability or reduction in the availability, speed, or functionality of our products and services could harm our business. Frequent or persistent interruptions in our services could cause current or potential defense customers or partners to believe that our systems are unreliable, leading them to select other contractors or to avoid or reduce the use of our products and services, and could permanently harm our reputation and brands in the defense community. Moreover, to the extent that any system failure or similar event results in damages to our customers or their programs, these customers or the government could seek significant compensation or contractual penalties from us for their losses, and those claims, even if unsuccessful, are likely to be time-consuming and costly for us to address. Problems with the reliability or security of our systems would harm our reputation, and damage to our reputation and the cost of remedying these problems could negatively affect our business, operating results, and financial condition. In addition, we are continually developing our information systems and technologies to meet defense industry requirements. Implementation of new systems and technologies is complex, expensive, time-consuming, and may not be successful. If we fail to timely and successfully implement new information systems and technologies, or improvements or upgrades to existing information systems and technologies, or if such systems and technologies do not operate as intended, it could have an adverse impact on our business, internal controls (including internal controls over financial reporting), operating results, and financial condition. Because we will be subject to defense regulation in multiple jurisdictions, frequent or persistent interruptions could also lead to regulatory scrutiny, significant fines and penalties, potential debarment, and mandatory and costly changes to our business practices, and ultimately could cause us to lose facility security clearances or government contracts that we need to operate, or prevent or delay us from obtaining additional clearances and contracts that may be required for our business.

A prolonged interruption in the availability or reduction in the availability, speed, or functionality of our products and services could harm our business. Frequent or persistent interruptions in our services could cause current or potential customers or partners to believe that our systems are unreliable, leading them to switch to our competitors or to avoid or reduce the use of our products and services, and could permanently harm our reputation and brands.

Because we are subject to regulation in certain jurisdictions, frequent or persistent interruptions could also lead to regulatory scrutiny, significant fines and penalties, and mandatory and costly changes to our business practices, and ultimately could cause us to lose existing licenses or banking relationships that we need to operate, or prevent or delay us from obtaining additional licenses that may be required for our business.

Business Combination and Public Company Costs

Removed

On December 22, 2023, we consummated the merger contemplated by the Business Combination, with Old Nukk surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary or Brilliant.

Removed

Upon the closing of the Business Combination, Brilliant’s certificate of incorporation was amended and restated to, among other things, set the total number of authorized shares of capital to 55,000,000 shares, of which 40,000,000 shares were designated common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and of which 15,000,000 shares were designated preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share.

Removed

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, each share of Old Nukk common stock issued and outstanding was cancelled and converted into the right to receive a pro-rata portion of 1,312,494 shares of the Company’s common stock. Additionally, a backstop pool of 26,668, 40% of the aggregate number of Brilliant Ordinary shares and Brilliant Rights in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement, was issued to certain holders of Brilliant Ordinary Shares, Brilliant Rights, and Brilliant Warrants.

Removed

Old Nukk was deemed the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination based on an analysis of the criteria outlined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805. The determination was primarily based on Old Nukk’s shareholders prior to the Business Combination having a majority of the voting interests in the combined company, Old Nukk’s ability to exert control over the majority of the board of directors of the combined company, and given the board of directors election and retention provisions, Old Nukk’s ability to maintain control of the board of directors on a go-forward basis, Old Nukk’s senior management comprising the senior management of the combined company; and old Nukk’s operations prior to the Business Combination comprising the ongoing operations of the combined company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Old Nukk issuing stock for the net assets of Brilliant, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Brilliant are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

Removed

As a result of the Business Combination, we became a Nasdaq listed company, which will require us to hire additional personnel and implement procedures to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. We expect to incur annual expenses as a public company for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees and additional internal and external accounting, legal and administrative resources, including increased audit, compliance and legal fees.

KeyProposed Business MetricsCombination

Added

On March 31, 2026, SC II Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “SPAC”), entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) with a payments technology company (the “Target”), which outlines the general terms and conditions of a potential business combination (the “Proposed Transaction”) pursuant to which the Company would acquire 100% of the outstanding equity and equity equivalents of the Target. The SPAC’s sponsor, SC Capital II Sponsor LLC, is controlled and majority owned by Nukkleus Defense Technologies Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of T3.

Added

The LOI is a preliminary, non-binding expression of mutual interest and does not constitute a binding commitment, obligation or agreement of the SPAC or the Target to consummate the Proposed Transaction or any other transaction. Except for certain limited binding provisions, including, among other things, exclusivity, confidentiality, the waiver of claims against the SPAC’s trust account, and governing law, neither the SPAC nor the Target has any legal obligation to the other party with respect to the Proposed Transaction by virtue of the LOI.

Added

Cancellation of $16,000,000 Indebtedness

Added

On March 31, 2026, T3 memorialized the termination of its obligation to pay $16,000,000 to its wholly-owned subsidiary Star 26 Capital, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Star 26”). Pursuant to the Cancellation Agreement, (the “Cancellation Agreement”), while all terms and provisions of the Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement, dated September 15, 2025 (the “Acquisition Agreement”) remain in full force and effect, and the Company's ownership of Star 26, including all assets, operations, and subsidiaries, is unaffected, the Company eliminated $16,000,000 of indebtedness, effective immediately, at no cost, no dilution, and with no offsetting obligation to the Company or its shareholders.

Added

Pursuant to the terms of the Cancellation Agreement, the entire $16,000,000 obligation to Star 26, including principal, accrued interest and any other amounts owing with respect thereto, were cancelled, terminated and rendered of no further force or effect, effective immediately, at no cost, no dilution, and with no offsetting obligation to the Company or its shareholders and while maintaining full ownership of Star 26 and all of its assets.

February Private Placement

Added

On February 26, 2026, T3 closed a private placement pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) for a private placement (the “Private Placement”) pursuant to which the investor (the “Purchaser”) agreed to purchase from the Company 400 units for an aggregate purchase price of $20,000,000, or a per unit price of $50,000.

The Initial Conversion Price is subject to adjustment upon stock splits, distributions, reorganizations, reclassifications, change of control and the like, and is also subject to price-based anti-dilution adjustments for subsequent offerings made by the Company while the Series B Preferred Stock remains outstanding (subject to certain exempt issuances).

Added

The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder at any time and will be automatically converted into Common Stock or Pre-Funded Warrants in lieu thereof on the effective date of the registration statement, whether or not the Stockholder Approval has been obtained. If at any time after the one-year anniversary of the closing of the Private Placement, the Series B Preferred Stock is then outstanding and the Company has not received Stockholder Approval, the Series B Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the holder at a price per Share equal to 105% of the Stated Value.

The Initial Exercise Price is also subject to price-based anti-dilution adjustments for subsequent offerings made by the Company while the Common Warrants remain outstanding (subject to certain exempt issuances). At any time after the closing of the Private Placement, the holder of the Common Warrants may exchange the Common Warrants on a cashless basis for a number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the total number of Warrant Shares with respect to which the Common Warrant is then being exercised by the Black Scholes Value (as defined in the Common Warrant) divided by the lower of the two closing bid prices of the Common Stock in the two days prior the time of such exercise, but in any event not less than $0.01 (as may be adjusted for stock dividends, subdivisions, or combinations and the like). The exercise of the Common Warrants is subject to a 9.9% beneficial ownership limitation blocker.

Added

Additionally, as more fully described in the Common Warrants, the holders of the Common Warrants will be entitled to receive consideration in an amount equal to the Black Scholes value of the Common Warrant in connection with a Fundamental Transaction.

Added

If the Company fails to timely deliver the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Common Warrants, the Company will be subject to liquidated damages, payable in the Company’s discretion in cash or shares on the Registration Date (as defined therein) or buy-in.

Registration Rights Agreement

Added

In connection with the Private Placement, on February 24, 2026, the Company and the Purchaser entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is required to register the resale of the Conversion Shares (and any shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants, if any) and the Warrant Shares. The Company is required to prepare and file an initial registration statement (the “Initial Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 45 days of the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Filing Deadline”) and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Initial Registration Statement declared effective within 75 days of the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Effectiveness Deadline”). In certain circumstances including, but not limited to, if the Company misses the Filing Deadline or the Effectiveness Deadline, then the Company will be required to pay to the Purchasers an amount in shares or cash, at the Company’s discretion, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of 1.5% multiplied by the aggregate purchase price paid by such Purchaser. Liquidated damages, if any, will accrue and be paid on the earlier of the effective date of a resale registration statement registering the sale of the shares that may be issued in lieu of cash or the date on which such shares can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 (the “Registration Date”). If the Company elects to pay liquidated damages in shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Purchaser will be determined by dividing the aggregate amount of accrued liquidated damages by the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the trading market of the Common Stock on the day immediately prior to the Registration Date (the “LD Share Formula”).

Added

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company entered into a Placement Agency Agreement, dated February 24, 2026, with Dawson James Securities Inc.

Annual Meeting

Added

On August 5, 2026, the Company held its annual meeting of stockholders for the calendar year 2026 (the “Annual Meeting”). As of the record date of July 9, 2026 (the “Record Date”), 126,311,902 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), were issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. The number of shares of Common Stock present or represented by valid proxy at the Annual Meeting was 66,928,688 shares of Common Stock, representing a quorum.

Added

The number of shares issued and outstanding as of the Record Date and the number present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting are not reflective of the 1:125 reverse stock split effective July 20, 2026.

Added

The stockholders voted on and approved the following proposals at the Annual Meeting:

Added

Reverse Stock Split

Added

The Company approved a reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock (“Common Stock”), at a ratio of 1-for-125 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split was duly approved in a special meeting of the stockholders held on June 24, 2026. On July 16, 2026, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware the Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to effect the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split became effective as of 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on July 20, 2026, and the Company’s Common Stock began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market on a split-adjusted basis when the market opened on July 20, 2026.

Added

The Company implemented the Reverse Stock Split to raise the per share bid price of the Company’s Common Stock above $1.00 per share and bring the Company back into compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Company regained compliance on July 31, 2026, once the Company’s Common Stock had traded at or above $1.00 for ten consecutive trading days.

Added

The Reverse Stock Split became effective on July 20, 2026 (the “Effective Date”) and began trading on a split-adjusted basis at the commencement of trading on the Effective Date, under the Company’s existing trading symbol “DFNS.” The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 67054R302.

Added

On the Effective Date, the total number of shares of Common Stock held by each stockholder of the Company were exchanged for the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock held by each such stockholder immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split, divided by one hundred twenty-five (125), with such resulting number of shares rounded up to the nearest whole share. As a result, no fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split and no cash or other consideration was be paid in connection with any fractional shares that would otherwise have resulted from the Reverse Stock Split. The Company did round up fractional shares at the beneficial level and instead round up any such fractional shares up at the participant level. Also on the Effective Date, all equity awards outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split were adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

Added

The Reverse Stock Split was effected pursuant to the Company’s filing of the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

Added

The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”). There was no change to the number of authorized capital stock of the Company or to the rights limitations and privileges, including voting rights, of the Company’s designated and outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. The Reverse Stock Split had no effect on the par value of the Common Stock or the Preferred Stock.

Added

Immediately after the Reverse Stock Split, each Common Stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company’s Common Stock and proportional voting power of the Company’s Common Stock remained unchanged, except for minor changes and adjustments that will result from the treatment of fractional shares. The rights and privileges of the holders of shares of Common Stock remain unaffected by the Reverse Stock Split.

Added

Acquisition of Project 35

Added

On July 6, 2026, T3 acquired 60% of the outstanding equity capital of Project 35, an Israeli corporation (“Project 35”) on a fully diluted basis.

The note bears interest at the rate of 12% and matures July 5, 2027. The Company also has an obligation to provide Project 35 with funding of $2,500,000 for its operations during the next 12 months.

Added

Project35 is a trusted supplier to the region’s leading defense organizations, including Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), ELTA Systems, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, and Elbit Systems, as well as the Israel Ministry of Defense. Project35’s unmanned aerial platforms are field-proven and already in active operational use.

See Note 22. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a summary of significant accounting policies and significant estimates and assumptions and their effects on our financial statements. Below are the significant estimates and assumptions that we consider critical because they involve a significant amount of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Added

Revenues, expenses, and financial results of our foreign subsidiaries are recorded in the functional currency of these subsidiaries. Our foreign currency exposure is primarily related to transactions denominated in British Pounds attributable to cash, customer custodial funds and customer custodial cash liabilities and intercompany transactions where the transaction currency is different from a subsidiary’s functional currency. Changes in foreign exchange rates, and in particular a weakening of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar may negatively affect our results of operations as expressed in U.S. dollars. We have experienced and will continue to experience fluctuations in our results of operations as a result of gains or losses on the settlement and the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not the functional currency of the respective entity.

Added

If an adverse 10% foreign currency exchange rate change was applied to the largest foreign currency exposure (e.g. British Pound) or to all foreign currency exposures in aggregate, of monetary assets, liabilities, and commitments denominated in currencies other than its functional currency as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, it would not have a material impact on our financial results.
