Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Asset Purchase of Quantum Nanophotonics Technology
On December 16, 2024, the Company entered into a Definitive Acquisition Agreement (“Agreement”) with Verdant Quantum, OÜ (“Verdant”), an Estonian company and Moshik Cohen, whereby the Company acquired technology owned by Verdant related to plasmonics and quantum nanophotonics for use in the development of devices that significantly accelerate the functional processor speed of classical computers (the “IP”). Verdant developed the IP at its laboratory facility in Israel under the guidance of principal inventor Moshik Cohen (the “Inventor”). The Agreement is attached hereto as an exhibit.
The Agreement provides that Spectral issue Verdant 10,000,000 common shares of Spectral in exchange for the IP. Verdant provided a description of the IP contained in Exhibit A to the Agreement. Verdant provided certain representations to the Company in the Agreement as specified below:
·Transfer of the IP free of any liens, encumbrances or other impediments to free and exclusive use
·Transfer of the IP includes any related or ancillary IP owned by the Inventor or any affiliate thereof
·Representation that the IP was properly transferred from the Inventor to Verdant
·The Inventor has confirmed that all relevant IP necessary for the commercialization of these innovations is included and that no related intellectual property is held by any other entity.
·The plasmonic technology IP has demonstrated in field testing that it enables data transmission and computation at speeds approaching that of light, significantly surpassing the capabilities of traditional parallel processing systems like those developed by companies in the parallel processing space.
As a result of the Agreement, the Inventor will also be appointed as Chief Technology Officer of the Company as well as the Chief Executive Officer of a to-be-formed Israeli subsidiary of the Company to further develop and commercialize the IP. The Inventor will receive an annual salary of $240,000 with potential annual cash bonus compensation that could bring his annual salary to $1,000,000. The Company will also request that the Board of Directors grant the Inventor options to purchase 2,000,000 common shares of Spectral at the current fair market value vesting over 4 years. The Agreement also provides that within 30 days of the Company’s listing on the NASDAQ or NYSE (“Listing”), the Company shall invest $25 million into Verdant IL on a milestone basis with a budget determined by mutual agreement between the Chairman of the Company and the Inventor.
Item 2.01 of this Report discusses the consummation of the Asset Purchase of Quantum Nanophotonics Technology and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On December 16, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of the IP from Verdant. However, the Company’s board of directors has not yet issued the required common stock purchase options to the Inventor nor has the Company’s board of directors yet approved the issuance of the 10,000,000 common shares (“Shares”) of Spectral to Verdant. Under the Agreement, the Company has up to 30 days to issue the Shares.
After giving effect to the shares issued in the asset purchase, there will be issued and outstanding common equity shares in the amount of 81,742,516 shares, par value $0.0001, of which there is only a single class. There are 5,000,000 preferred shares authorized, 2,000,000 of which have been designated as Series Quantum 1,000,000 of which are issued and outstanding.
The common stock trades on the OTCQB under the symbols “FCCN.”
