Exhibit 99.1
MindWave Innovations Inc to Power AQUAEChain with Its MindChain Blockchain Infrastructure
Agreement strengthens MindWave’s position as a technology provider for ecosystem finance and environmental markets
MATAWAN, New Jersey — September 24, 2026 — MindWave Innovations Inc. (“MindWave”), a subsidiary of Apimeds Pharmaceuticals US, Inc. (NYSE American: APUS), has entered into a 12-month strategic technology services agreement with Singapore-based AQUAE Holdings Pte. Ltd. (“AQUAE”) to deploy MindWave’s MindChain infrastructure as the foundational technology powering AQUAEChain.
Under the agreement, MindWave will deploy MindChain as the core blockchain infrastructure powering AQUAEChain, enabling the secure issuance, traceable lifecycle management, verification, transaction, and retirement of insured ALCI Credits.
In addition to contracted software development and technology service fees, the agreement references an allocation to MindWave equal to 20% of the total ALCI Credits issued and outstanding on the AQUAEChain network. The allocation would be calculated at the end of each quarter using the MindChain issuance ledger.
The engagement represents a significant achievement for MindWave, demonstrating the company’s ability to develop specialized digital infrastructure for emerging environmental and sustainability-focused markets.
Powered by MindChain’s insured blockchain infrastructure, AQUAEChain will integrate credit registry management, environmental data processing, monitoring and verification, and transaction capabilities within a unified platform.
Key technical features will include:
| ● | ALCI Credit Registry: A digital registry supporting the issuance, tracking, verification, transfer, and retirement of ALCI Credits. |
| ● | ALCI Credits: Blockchain-verified, fractionalized environmental conservation assets that measure living ecosystem services like biodiversity, clean water, and oxygen generation. |
| ● | Monitoring, Reporting and Verification Platform: Tools for collecting, processing, and analyzing project information, including satellite and ground-source data. |
| ● | Marketplace and Transaction Module: A dedicated interface supporting the listing, trading, and settlement of ALCI Credits between AQUAE and its counterparties. |
| ● | MindChain Integration: Use of the MindChain issuance ledger to provide a transparent and traceable record of ALCI Credits issued and outstanding across the AQUAEChain network. |
| ● | Integrated Data Architecture: A structured data model and integration framework connecting registry, project, verification, and transaction information. |
| ● | Cloud-Based Infrastructure: A hosted environment designed to support platform availability, operational continuity, and future scalability. |
| ● | Data Protection and Security: Administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect platform data and transaction records. |
| ● | Engineering and Technical Support: Embedded engineering assistance during implementation, followed by ongoing infrastructure maintenance and technical support. |
“This agreement is a significant milestone for MindWave and reflects growing recognition of our technology-development capabilities,” said Dr. Vin Menon, Chief Executive Officer of MindWave Innovations. “AQUAEChain will bring registry management, environmental data, monitoring and verification, and marketplace functionality together within one integrated platform. Its connection with the MindChain issuance ledger will further support transparency and traceability across the ALCI Credit lifecycle. We are proud to have been selected by AQUAE to develop the technology foundation supporting its ecosystem-finance operations.”
Linju Thomas, Chief Operating Officer of AQUAE Holdings, said, “AQUAEChain is an important part of our vision for transparent and dependable ecosystem-finance infrastructure. MindWave’s development capabilities will help us establish a scalable platform for managing ALCI Credits and supporting conservation and regenerative-sustainability initiatives.”
The engagement will deploy MindChain as the underlying blockchain infrastructure powering AQUAEChain and supporting its registry, verification, and transaction capabilities. Structured as a commercial technology services arrangement, the collaboration will focus on delivering secure, transparent, and scalable infrastructure for AQUAE’s ecosystem-finance operations.
The agreement became effective on September 14, 2026, with development and delivery organized around agreed project milestones.

Exhibit 99.2
MindWave Innovations Expands U.S. Commercial Footprint with Second Agreement to Build and Operate FlashChain for New York-Based Flash Sports & Media
The 12-month agreement covers a dedicated MindChain subnet for authenticating digital match tickets, sports memorabilia and media assets
MATAWAN, New Jersey, Sept. 29, 2026 – MindWave Innovations Inc. (“MindWave”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Apimeds Pharmaceuticals US, Inc. (NYSE American: APUS), has signed a 12-month software development and technology services agreement with New York-based Flash Sports & Media Holdings, Inc. (Ticker: FLZH) (“FLZH”) to build and operate FlashChain, a blockchain for tracking digital broadcasting rights, video assets and match ticket inventory.
Under the agreement, MindWave will deploy a dedicated subnet for FlashChain on MindChain’s Layer-2 infrastructure, operate the validator nodes that run it, and issue FLZH the cryptographic keys and secure connections it needs to access the network. FLZH will own the FlashChain network, its brand and its Digital Asset and Ticketing Ledger, which will record authenticated digital match tickets, digital sports memorabilia and related media-asset transactions.
MindWave will also build two software components. The first is an integration module that links FLZH’s direct-to-consumer streaming application, FLASHSM, its online stadium ticketing platforms and its gate-scanning hardware directly to FlashChain. The second is a set of smart contracts that authenticate digital match tickets, manage digital sports memorabilia and help prevent ticket counterfeiting and unauthorized duplication of media. The statement of work will establish performance targets for match-day throughput and gate-scan speed, and FLZH will hold a perpetual license to use both software components on FlashChain.
Live sport puts a network under its heaviest load in short bursts. MindWave will provide system monitoring, live-event troubleshooting and staff training for scheduled T20 cricket tournament broadcasts and high-traffic match days. MindWave will also secure the core network, protect fan transaction data and maintain secure backups of digital-asset and media transaction history.
FLZH will lead the FlashChain brand, broadcasting-rights negotiation, media licensing strategy, partner relationships and community management. MindWave will provide the underlying infrastructure, development work and ongoing technical services. As consideration under the agreement, MindWave will receive FLZH common shares and an allocation equal to 20% of the total supply of FLASH TOKEN, FlashChain’s platform token. The agreement also provides for an annual maintenance fee equal to 50% of the applicable contract consideration, as specified in the agreement.
The parties have not publicly disclosed the aggregate dollar value of the consideration under the agreement.
Fans’ personal data will not be written to FlashChain; only hashed or pseudonymized references will go on-chain. If the relationship ends, MindWave will make FlashChain’s data and ledger records available so the network can migrate.
For MindWave, the agreement extends its infrastructure business into sports ticketing and media distribution, alongside its work in regulated industries.
“A match ticket or a highlight clip only has value if people can trust it’s genuine. FlashChain is designed to give FLZH a way to authenticate those assets at the stadium gate and across the streaming experience, while our job is to keep the network steady when a full ground is scanning in at once,” said Dr. Vin Menon, Chief Executive Officer of MindWave Innovations.
“Our fans buy tickets, watch matches and collect moments, often on the same day. FlashChain gives us one ledger that we own to authenticate all of it, while MindWave runs the infrastructure underneath,” said Mr. Bradley Nattrass, CEO of Flash Sports & Media Holdings.
The agreement runs for 12 months. Technical specifications, acceptance criteria and delivery timelines will be set out in a statement of work, with each deliverable subject to FLZH’s acceptance testing. After the initial term, the parties may renew support annually.
