CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This annual report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements are all statements other than statements of historical fact, and include statements about the Group’s future results of operations and financial position, business plan and strategy, future revenue, timing and likelihood of success, plans and objectives of management for future operations, and future results of anticipated products and prospects. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. They can generally be identified by words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “plan”, “potential,” “predict,” “project”, “should”, “target,” and “will”, although not every forward-looking statement contains those words. Forward-looking statements contained in this annual report include, but are not limited to, statements about:
| ● | the implementation of the Company’s business model and strategic plans for its business, product, services and technology; |
| ● | the Company’s commercialization and marketing capabilities and strategy; |
| ● | the Company’s competitive position; |
| ● | the scope of protection that the Company is able to establish and maintain for intellectual property rights covering its products, services and technology; |
| ● | developments and projections relating to the Company’s competitors and industry; |
| ● | the Company’s estimates regarding expenses, future revenue, capital requirements and needs for additional financing; |
| ● | the period over which the Company estimates its existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund its future operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements; and |
| ● | the impact of new or existing laws and regulations on the Company’s business and strategy. |
| Page 1 |
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied.
Forward-looking statements speak only as at the date of this annual report and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, but not limited to, those described in “Item 3.D. Risk Factors,” “Item 4. Information on the Company,” and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects,” as well as in this annual report generally. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect the management of the Company’s beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to the Company as of the date of this annual report, and while management believes such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and such statements should not be read to indicate that management has conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and you are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.
PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The consolidated financial statements included in this annual report have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. They are presented in United States dollars, which is the presentation currency of the Group, and cover the years ended June 30, 2026, 2025 and 2024. The functional currency of the Company is the Australian dollar, and the Group’s operations have nine functional currencies.
The businesses acquired on February 12, 2026 are included in the results of the Group from that date. The results for the year ended June 30, 2026 are accordingly not comparable with the comparative years. Certain figures in this annual report have been rounded, so the sum of the figures in a column or a row may not agree to the total shown.
This annual report includes Adjusted EBITDA, a financial measure that is not defined by IFRS Accounting Standards. Its definition, the reasons management uses it, its limitations and a reconciliation to loss for the year are set out at Item 5.A.
MARKET AND INDUSTRY DATA
This annual report contains market, industry and economic data. Unless otherwise indicated, information concerning the Company’s industry and the markets in which it operates, including its general expectations, market position, market opportunity, and market size, is based on the knowledge and experience of the Company’s management in the markets in which the Company operates, together with currently available information obtained from various sources, including publicly available information, industry reports and publications, surveys, the Company’s customers, trade and business organizations, and other contacts in the markets in which the Company operates and which were not commissioned by the Company. Certain information is based on management estimates, which have been derived from third-party sources, as well as data from the Company’s internal research. The Company has not independently verified the third-party data and does not guarantee its accuracy or completeness. Estimates involve assumptions and limitations, and undue reliance should not be placed on them.
In presenting this information, the Company has made certain assumptions that it believes to be reasonable based on such data and other similar sources and on its knowledge of, and its experience to date in, the markets in which it operates. While the Company believes the estimated market and industry data included in this annual report is generally reliable, such information is inherently uncertain and imprecise. Market and industry data is subject to change and may be limited by the availability of raw data, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process, and other limitations inherent in any statistical survey of such data. In addition, projections, assumptions, and estimates of the future performance of the markets in which the Company operates are necessarily subject to uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in “Item 3.D. Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by third parties and by the Company. Accordingly, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such market and industry data or any other such estimates.
TRADEMARKS, SERVICE MARKS AND TRADENAMES
The Company owns or otherwise has rights to the trademarks, including those mentioned in this annual report, used in conjunction with the operation of its business. This annual report includes the Company’s own trademarks, which are protected under applicable intellectual property laws, as well as trademarks, service marks and tradenames of other entities, which are the property of their respective owners. Solely for convenience, trademarks, trade names and service marks referred to in this annual report may appear without the ®, TM or SM symbols, but such references are not intended to indicate, in any way, that the applicable licensor will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, its rights to these trademarks, service marks and tradenames. The Company does not intend its use or display of other entities’ trademarks, service marks or tradenames to imply a relationship with, or endorsement or sponsorship of the Company by, any other entities.

Risk factors
Risks relating to our financial condition and capital requirements
Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on refinancing our borrowings and raising further capital.
For the year ended June 30, 2026 the Group recorded a loss after tax of $24,656,361 and net cash outflow from operating activities of $4,632,389. At June 30, 2026 the Group held cash and cash equivalents of $5,667,180 and had net current liabilities of $22,039,756. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Group will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
| Page 5 |
The secured promissory notes issued to Streeterville Capital, LLC mature on February 12 and March 10, 2027, with approximately $10,181,000 payable at maturity. Under the Note Purchase Agreement dated February 11, 2026 with Advaitha Pty Ltd (the “Advaitha Note Purchase Agreement”), as varied by the Deed of Variation and Set-Off dated March 12, 2026 among the Company, Advaitha Pty Ltd and Mr Chetan (Neil) Saligrama as trustee for the Saligrama Family Trust (the “Deed of Variation and Set-Off”), $9,600,000 of principal was scheduled to amortize over the three months from December 2026 to February 2027, and interest over the original term of that facility was $1,267,200. Under a Deed of Extension dated November 3, 2026, the maturity of the $9,600,000 of principal outstanding under the Advaitha Note Purchase Agreement has been extended by twelve months to February 11, 2028, with interest of $115,200 a month (14.4% per annum) payable monthly in arrears and the principal repayable in three monthly instalments from December 11, 2027 to February 11, 2028; see “Item 5.B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Going concern and capital requirements.” The terms of the Advaitha Note Purchase Agreement and the Deed of Variation and Set-Off are described at “Item 7.B. Related Party Transactions.”
Meeting these obligations when they fall due depends on generating operating cash flows from the acquired businesses, refinancing or extending our borrowings as they fall due, and raising further debt or equity. The Company’s directors have assessed the Group’s cash flow forecasts and financing plans for the twelve months from the date the financial statements were authorized for issue and have concluded that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate and that there is no material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern; see Note 2.5 to the financial statements. That assessment depends on assumptions about operating cash flows, refinancing and the availability of further funding that may not be realized. Refinancing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, particularly given our recent losses, and any refinancing may be at higher cost, impose additional restrictions or be dilutive to shareholders. If those assumptions are not realized, we may be required to curtail operations or dispose of assets on unfavorable terms, and investors could lose all or part of their investment.
We have a history of losses and may never achieve or sustain profitability.
The Group recorded losses in each of the three years ended June 30, 2026. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses as we integrate the acquired businesses, service our borrowings and meet the costs of operating as a listed company in the United States. We may not generate sufficient revenue or margin to achieve profitability, and if we do, we may not sustain it.
We intend to continue to develop our technology and to invest in the acquired businesses. Successful implementation of this strategy may require significant expenditures before any substantial associated revenue is generated, and we cannot guarantee that these increased investments will result in corresponding and offsetting revenue growth. Our growth may not be sustainable and depends on our ability to retain existing customers, attract new customers, expand our product offerings and increase revenue from both new and existing customers.
Our borrowings are secured over substantially all of our assets, and a default could result in the loss of those assets.
First-priority security interests have been granted over the assets of the Company, Braiin LLC, Raptor300 Inc, Connect Simple Pty Ltd and VIS Networks Private Limited, over the intellectual property of those entities under an Intellectual Property Security Agreement, over equity interests in specified subsidiaries under a Pledge Agreement, and guarantees have been given by subsidiaries. If an event of default occurs, the secured parties may enforce against those assets, which would have a material adverse effect on the Group and could leave shareholders with no recovery.
The Advaitha Note Purchase Agreement contains trigger thresholds that may accelerate our obligations.
The Deed of Variation and Set-Off reduced the major trigger threshold under the Advaitha Note Purchase Agreement from 25 percent to 20 percent and the minor trigger from 10 percent to 5 percent. Events outside our control, including movements in the price or trading volume of the ordinary shares, may cause a trigger to occur, accelerating our payment obligations at a time when we are not able to meet them.
An acceleration of our obligations under the Advaitha Note Purchase Agreement, or a default under any of our other borrowings, could, depending on the terms of our other financing arrangements, give rise to defaults under those arrangements and permit the relevant lenders to enforce their security. In addition, the existence of these trigger thresholds may itself limit our flexibility to undertake transactions, including equity issuances, that could affect the price or trading volume of the ordinary shares.
| Page 6 |
Our principal lender is a director and a related party, which may give rise to conflicts and limit the protections available to us.
Advaitha Pty Ltd is a vehicle of the Saligrama Family Trust, the family trust of Mr Chetan (Neil) Saligrama, who is a director of the Company and a substantial shareholder. Borrowings from a related party may not be negotiated on the same terms as would be agreed with an unrelated lender, and the interests of that lender may not align with the interests of other shareholders in an enforcement or restructuring scenario. His interests as lender may conflict with his duties as a director and with the interests of other shareholders, particularly in any renegotiation, enforcement or restructuring.
We will need additional capital, and issuing equity will dilute existing shareholders.
We expect to require additional funding to meet our obligations, integrate the acquired businesses and pursue our strategy. Additional equity financing would dilute existing shareholders, may be at a discount to the market price, and may carry rights senior to the ordinary shares. Additional debt financing may impose operating and financial restrictions. Capital may not be available when needed on acceptable terms. The Company has also committed to equity awards of $5,150,000 in aggregate that have not yet been granted, expects to adopt an equity incentive plan, and may issue shares to satisfy deferred consideration. Each issue will dilute existing shareholders.
Risks relating to the acquisitions and their integration
Goodwill may become impaired.
At June 30, 2026 goodwill of $228,990,580 represented approximately 84 percent of our total assets. We are required to test goodwill for impairment at least annually. A deterioration in the performance of an acquired business, a change in market conditions affecting the price a market participant would pay for an acquired business, or a sustained fall in the market price of the ordinary shares relative to our net assets could result in a material impairment charge. Pending completion of the purchase price allocations for the acquisitions, no intangible assets other than software of $6,312 of the Mirragin group have been recognized separately from goodwill. At June 30, 2026 the recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit to which goodwill is allocated, determined as fair value less costs of disposal by reference to the prices paid in the arm’s-length acquisitions of February 12, 2026, exceeded its carrying amount, but by limited margins: a reduction in fair value of 2.6% for the VIS group, 0.2% for Vega or 1.4% for Connect Simple would, in isolation, cause the recoverable amount to equal the carrying amount.
We may not realize the benefits expected from the acquisitions.
The acquisitions brought together businesses in network infrastructure and managed services, unmanned systems consulting and training, and telecommunications connection services, operating through subsidiaries and a branch in eleven countries. Integration requires the alignment of systems, controls, reporting calendars and cultures. We may fail to retain key personnel, customers or supplier relationships of the acquired businesses, and the anticipated revenue, cost and cross-selling benefits may not be achieved, or may take longer and cost more than expected.
We have deferred and contingent obligations to the vendors of the acquired businesses.
At June 30, 2026 deferred consideration of $6,719,772 was recognized within current other financial liabilities and a further $4,000,602 within non-current other financial liabilities. We have also agreed to acquire the remaining 20.30 percent interest in VIS Networks Private Limited and VIS Global PTE Ltd. These payments compete with our other obligations for the same cash. If we do not meet them when they fall due we may be in breach of the relevant agreements, and the vendors may have remedies against us, including in the local courts of India and Singapore.
| Page 7 |
The acquired businesses may have liabilities that were not identified in due diligence.
We acquired businesses operating in jurisdictions with different legal, tax and regulatory regimes and different accounting practices. Due diligence may not have identified all liabilities, including tax assessments, employment entitlements, customer claims, regulatory breaches or unrecorded commitments. The indemnities obtained from the vendors, including the indemnity given by Relms Consolidated Pty Ltd and Mr Rob Sutton in favor of Vega, may be insufficient, unenforceable or time-limited.
We depend on the founders and managers of the businesses we acquired.
The value of the acquired businesses rests substantially on relationships held by their founders and senior managers with customers, vendors and staff. Many of those individuals hold shares in the Company and may realize them as lock-up and escrow restrictions lapse. If they leave, we may lose the revenue and capability we acquired.
Future acquisitions, partnerships, joint ventures or other strategic transactions may not be successful and may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Acquisitions, partnerships and joint ventures are part of our growth strategy, and we expect to continue to evaluate strategic acquisitions of, and partnerships or joint ventures with, complementary businesses, services or technologies. We may not be successful in identifying suitable targets, may face competition for acquisitions from other potential acquirers, and may not be able to complete transactions at acceptable valuations or on other acceptable terms. We may need to borrow money or issue equity or debt securities to finance acquisitions, and the terms of those financings may be adverse to us and dilutive to shareholders.
Businesses we acquire may not perform as well as expected or may be more difficult or expensive to integrate and manage than expected. Acquisitions outside our current operating jurisdictions involve additional risks, including managing geographically separated organizations, systems and facilities, integrating personnel with diverse business backgrounds and cultures, complying with foreign regulatory requirements, and protecting intellectual property in some foreign countries. Any acquisition may also divert management’s attention and resources, expose us to unforeseen liabilities and additional cybersecurity vulnerabilities, require regulatory or other approvals that may be delayed or refused, and result in non-cash impairment charges. If we pursue a particular transaction, we may also limit our ability to enter into other transactions that could help us achieve our strategic objectives.
Risks relating to our business and industry
If we do not effectively manage our growth and the rapid diversification of our business, our business may be adversely affected.
We have experienced significant growth through the acquisitions and have rapidly diversified from a small technology company into a group operating across network infrastructure and managed services, unmanned systems, telecommunications connection services, AgTech, CXaaS and PropTech. To manage this growth, we must continue to expand our information technology, financial, operating and administrative systems and controls, and manage headcount, capital and processes efficiently across numerous jurisdictions. The execution of multiple simultaneous strategic initiatives places significant strain on our management, personnel, operations, technology systems, financial resources, internal controls and reporting functions.
If our systems and processes do not keep pace with our growth, we may be unable to provide accurate, timely and reliable reports on our financial and operating results, and our systems may not prevent or detect all errors, omissions or fraud. A failure to scale and preserve our culture may impair our ability to recruit and retain personnel. There can be no assurance that any of our new products or business lines will achieve market acceptance, generate sufficient revenue or become profitable, and any failure to manage this complexity could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
| Page 8 |
We depend on a small number of customers and the loss of any of them would materially affect our revenue.
Revenue of $2,961,548 was derived from Tech Mahindra Limited, a customer of our VIS segment, which contributed 10 percent or more of the Group’s revenue for the year. Our contracts are generally terminable on notice or on the expiry of their term, and are not always renewed. The loss of a major customer, a reduction in its spending, or a failure to renew, would have a material adverse effect on our revenue and margins.
Our contracted pipeline may not convert into revenue, and non-binding memoranda of understanding and letters of intent may not result in binding contracts.
We have executed long-term contracts for our AI/ML-powered services amounting to approximately $35.9 million over a five-year term and have entered into non-binding memoranda of understanding representing approximately $112.0 million in additional potential contract value. Binding contracts may not generate the expected revenue, and non-binding memoranda of understanding and letters of intent may not result in executed agreements as a result of, among other things, changes in customer priorities, financial constraints, regulatory changes, force majeure events or a failure to obtain necessary approvals. The conversion of our pipeline into recognized revenue depends on successful customer deployment, integration, onboarding and ongoing platform adoption. Any failure to convert our pipeline into revenue, or the loss of planned customers or projects, could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
A significant part of our assets is trade receivables and we are exposed to credit risk.
At June 30, 2026 the Group held trade receivables of $13,362,314, net of a loss allowance of $2,692,727, and unbilled receivables of $1,097,268. Payment terms in some of our markets are long and collection can be slow. Failure by one or more significant customers to pay would reduce our cash flows at a time when we have substantial obligations falling due.
We depend on a limited number of technology vendors and distributors.
Our systems integration and managed services businesses resell and support hardware, software and subscriptions sourced from a small number of global vendors and their distributors. The loss of a vendor authorization, a change in vendor channel terms or margin structure, or a disruption to supply, would affect our ability to deliver and the profitability of the work we win.
We bid for work on fixed prices and may not deliver within our estimates.
A material part of our revenue is recognized over time on projects, including installation, implementation and managed services engagements. If we underestimate the cost or duration of a project, or if scope changes are not agreed and paid for, we may incur losses on that contract and may be required to recognize those losses immediately.
Rapid technological change, including in artificial intelligence and autonomous systems, may render our offerings less competitive.
Our markets are subject to rapid change in technology, standards and customer expectations. We may not have the capital or the personnel to develop or acquire competing capability in time. Competitors with greater resources may bring products to market faster or at lower cost.
Hyperscalers and large technology platforms may incorporate AI capabilities into broader products and services, commoditize functionality that we offer, or use their scale to reduce prices. Changes in sensor availability, battery technology or certification requirements could render our existing aerial units obsolete, and customers may prefer more established or lower-cost alternatives, particularly during economic downturns. A failure to keep pace with technological change could result in revenue shortfalls, lost market share or higher customer churn.

Our work for government, defense and critical infrastructure customers exposes us to procurement, security and export control requirements.
Nisus supplies Australian government, defense and emergency services customers, and Mirragin operates in defense and critical infrastructure. That work may require security clearances for personnel, facility accreditation, and compliance with Australian defense export controls, including the Defence Trade Controls Act 2012 (Cth). Failure to obtain or maintain a clearance or an authorization, or a breach of an export control, could result in loss of contracts, penalties or exclusion from future procurement. Government customers may also reduce budgets, delay awards or terminate for convenience.
A cybersecurity incident could disrupt our operations and those of our customers.
We operate network infrastructure and managed services for customers and hold customer data. A successful attack on our systems, or on systems we manage, could interrupt service, expose confidential information, expose us to claims and regulatory action, and damage relationships in markets where our credibility as a supplier of network and security services is the basis on which we are engaged.
We face external threats from sophisticated cybercriminals, state-sponsored actors and hacktivists, as well as insider threats arising from disgruntled employees, inadequate access controls or negligent behavior. The techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to systems, disable or degrade services or sabotage systems are constantly evolving, may be difficult to detect quickly, and often are not recognized until after they have been launched. Widely available AI tools may increase the sophistication, frequency and scale of ransomware, malware, denial-of-service and social engineering attacks, and adversaries may target our machine learning models, training data, prompts and APIs through data poisoning, model manipulation and other adversarial techniques. These attacks may occur on our systems or on those of our third-party service providers and partners.
Any actual or perceived security breach could harm our reputation, interrupt our operations, result in the improper disclosure of data and violations of privacy and other laws, subject us to regulatory investigations, fines and contractual penalties, require significant remediation costs and divert management’s attention. We may also be required to make public disclosure of cybersecurity incidents under the SEC’s cybersecurity disclosure rules and applicable foreign laws. Although we maintain insurance coverage, it may be insufficient to protect us against all losses arising from a security breach, and we expect our costs of protecting against these threats to increase over time. There can be no assurance that our security measures, assessments or incident response plans will prevent or adequately mitigate a breach.
We may be unable to protect our intellectual property.
We rely on patents, trademarks, trade secrets, confidentiality arrangements and contractual protections. Applications may not proceed to grant, granted rights may be challenged or circumvented, and protection in some jurisdictions in which we operate is weaker than in others. Third parties may also assert that our products or services infringe their rights, and defending such claims is costly and diverting.
Our proprietary technology and trade secrets could be lost through misappropriation or breach of confidentiality and license agreements, and competitors may independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to ours. As we grow, we will seek to protect our intellectual property in an increasing number of countries, a process that can be expensive and may not be successful, and noncompliance with procedural requirements could result in the abandonment or lapse of registrations. Individuals and groups may also acquire patents and other intellectual property for the purpose of asserting infringement claims to extract settlements. If a claim against us succeeds, we may be required to pay substantial damages or royalties, obtain a license that may not be available on acceptable terms, modify our products or cease offering them, and announcements regarding the progress of any litigation could cause the market price of the ordinary shares to decline.
| Page 10 |
Uncertainty regarding intellectual property rights in AI-generated outputs and training data may adversely affect our business.
Ownership of AI-generated content, inventions, source code and other outputs may be uncertain, particularly where third-party models, contractors or customer data are involved. Training or fine-tuning AI systems on third-party data may expose us to copyright, trade secret, privacy or other claims, and required licenses may be unavailable or costly. AI model components may be subject to open-source or other license terms that impose attribution, disclosure or other obligations that we may not identify or satisfy. Changes in legislation, court decisions or regulatory interpretations may limit our ability to claim ownership of, license or enforce rights in outputs, training data and proprietary algorithms.
We depend on key personnel.
We depend on Mr Natraj Balasubramanian, our founder, as Chief Executive Officer and on a small number of senior executives and technical personnel, including the founders and managers of the acquired businesses. The loss of any of them, or a failure to recruit and retain qualified engineers in competitive labor markets, would affect our ability to deliver and to execute our strategy.
We are subject to data protection and privacy laws in every market in which we operate.
Our businesses hold customer, employee and end-user data and manage networks for customers. We are subject to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles, the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 in India, the UK General Data Protection Regulation, and equivalent regimes in the other jurisdictions in which we operate, several of which restrict cross-border transfers of personal data. Compliance is costly and the regimes differ. A breach may result in penalties, orders, claims and reputational harm.
Regulation of artificial intelligence is developing and may restrict our products.
Our analytics and autonomy products use machine learning models. The European Union Artificial Intelligence Act and emerging regimes elsewhere impose obligations by reference to risk classification, transparency, data governance and human oversight. Compliance may require us to modify our products, restrict the markets in which we can sell them, or increase our costs, and the requirements may change after we have committed development resources.
In the United States, state and local authorities, including in Utah, Colorado and California, have enacted, proposed or may enact laws addressing AI transparency, automated decision-making, consumer notice, consent and impact assessments, and requirements may differ or conflict across Australia, the United States, the European Union, India and the other jurisdictions in which we operate. We may need to establish, maintain and document responsible AI governance processes, including risk assessments, human oversight, testing, monitoring, incident management and vendor controls. Failure to comply could result in fines, restrictions on our products or required changes to our systems.
Generative and agentic artificial intelligence in our products may produce inaccurate, biased or unintended outputs or actions and expose us to liability and reputational harm.
Generative and agentic AI systems may hallucinate or produce biased, incomplete, inaccurate or unpredictable outputs, and autonomous or semi-autonomous AI agents may take unauthorized, erroneous or irreversible actions, including through connected applications, APIs, customer systems or operational workflows. Identity, authentication and access-control processes may not adequately distinguish AI agents from human users. We may rely on third-party AI models, platforms and data, and defects, outages, limited transparency or changes to model terms could impair performance and reduce our control.
Our board and management may not establish or maintain adequate oversight, escalation procedures or accountability for the AI systems used in our products, services and operations, and our AI policies and governance frameworks may be incomplete, inconsistently applied or ineffective. Actual or perceived failures in the responsible deployment of AI could result in customer disputes, contractual claims, litigation, regulatory scrutiny, negative publicity and loss of customer trust.
| Page 11 |
Our use of open source software may subject us to claims or require us to disclose our proprietary source code.
We use, and may in the future use, software and model components licensed under open source or similar licenses. Open source licensors generally do not provide warranties or protection against infringement claims, and open source code and training data may be subject to data poisoning, hidden functionality or other attacks. If we combine our proprietary software with open source software in a certain manner, we could be required under certain licenses to release our source code to the public, which would allow competitors to create similar offerings with less effort. Few courts have interpreted open source licenses, and claims of noncompliance could result in litigation, require us to purchase costly licenses or require us to re-engineer our software.
Aviation and drone regulation may restrict our operations.
Our autonomous aerial operations require approvals covering airspace access, beyond visual line of sight flight, chemical application and operator certification, and those approvals differ by jurisdiction and may be withdrawn or made more onerous. A loss of certification, or a restriction on autonomous operation or on aerial chemical application, would directly affect our ability to deliver services.
Our AgTech operations are exposed to agricultural market cycles, climate change and extreme weather.
Demand for our AgTech services depends on the condition of the agricultural industry, which is affected by volatile commodity and input prices, weather and field conditions, agricultural inventories, domestic and international demand, farm subsidies and government trade policies. Climate change and extreme weather, including heat, drought, flooding, wildfire and severe storms, may disrupt agricultural operations, reduce demand for our services or make deployments more difficult, and seasonal variability may limit the windows in which outdoor autonomous systems can be deployed, reducing utilization or increasing operating and maintenance costs. Insurance for field operations may be unavailable, insufficient or costly.
Compliance with, or violation of, environmental, health and safety laws, including those governing pesticides, and product liability claims could result in significant costs.
Our aerial application services are subject to international, national, state and local laws governing the registration, handling and application of pesticides and other chemicals. The cancellation of a registration, or the withdrawal of a product from the market, could adversely affect our services, and we may be unable to prevent violations by end users. Products we apply or distribute could be alleged to cause injury to the environment, people or animals, and we may face product liability claims or need to recall products. The costs of compliance, noncompliance, investigation, remediation or defending civil or criminal proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Our CXaaS and PropTech businesses depend on client usage volumes, partner relationships and regulated end markets.
Revenue from our CXaaS business is often linked to client usage volumes, such as call traffic or the number of active agents, and economic downturns, client restructuring, pilot-based procurement or shifts in service models may reduce usage and revenue. The CXaaS market is intensely competitive, and competitors may offer aggressive pricing, bundling or free trials that pressure us to discount or increase customer acquisition costs. Subscription models may require upfront investment before revenue is recognized, and churn, renewal uncertainty and long sales cycles may make revenue less predictable.
Our PropTech platform operates across regulated verticals, including energy retail and home insurance, in jurisdictions such as Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States, each with distinct rules on pricing transparency, switching and customer data. Its revenue depends substantially on commissions and referral fees from a relatively small number of high-volume partners and on the volume of property transactions, which may decline with adverse economic conditions, higher interest rates or changes in housing policy. Changes to partner commercial terms, partner insolvency, regulatory caps on commissions, or errors in our recommendation algorithms could result in lost revenue, refund claims, regulatory complaints and reputational harm.
| Page 12 |
Our insurance may not be adequate.
We maintain insurance, including directors’ and officers’ liability cover, at levels we consider appropriate for a group of our size. That cover may prove inadequate for the enlarged Group, may exclude particular claims, and the cost of maintaining it as a listed company may increase. Work for defense, emergency services and critical infrastructure customers may give rise to claims that conventional professional indemnity and public liability cover excludes or limits, and cover for autonomous systems and for cyber events in managed services is a developing market and may be unavailable, capped, or priced at a level we do not consider commercial.
We may become subject to litigation.
Litigation is costly and diverting regardless of outcome, and an adverse result could be material. Our insurance may not cover a claim, may be insufficient, or may become more costly or unavailable.
In addition, companies whose securities have experienced price volatility have often been subject to securities class action litigation, and the nature of our products, including those used in defense, intelligence, critical infrastructure and autonomous applications, may give rise to novel claims relating to privacy, civil liberties, trespass and similar matters. Any claim, regardless of its merit, could result in negative publicity, harm our reputation, divert management’s attention and cause the market price of the ordinary shares to decline.
Natural disasters, pandemics, war, terrorism and other catastrophic events could disrupt our operations, and our business continuity plans may not adequately protect us.
Our operations are subject to interruption by natural disasters, fire, power shortages, telecommunications failures, public health crises and other events beyond our control, as well as war, acts of terrorism, labor activism and geopolitical unrest. Because we operate network infrastructure and managed services for customers, such an event could cause lengthy service interruptions, breaches of data security, loss of critical data, contractual claims and reputational harm, and could disrupt the businesses of our customers, partners and suppliers. Our business continuity and disaster recovery plans may not be sufficient, and our insurance may not cover all resulting losses.
Risks relating to our international operations
We operate through subsidiaries and a branch in eleven countries and are exposed to the legal, tax and political conditions of each.
The Group operates in Australia, India, Singapore, the United States, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Sri Lanka and the Philippines. We are exposed to changes in law, licensing and foreign ownership requirements, political instability, differing employment regimes, and the difficulty of supervising operations across time zones from a small corporate center. Inflation, interest rates, supply chain disruption, regional conflict and trade restrictions in those markets may also cause customers to delay or reduce technology spending, lengthen sales cycles and extend payment terms.
Geopolitical tensions, tariffs, sanctions and trade restrictions may increase our costs and disrupt our supply chain.
Significant political, trade and regulatory developments, including tariffs and changes in United States federal policy, are difficult to predict. United States–China trade tensions, tariffs and technology export controls may increase the cost or limit the availability of drone, sensor, battery, communications and other hardware components used in our operations, and geopolitical instability, including conflicts such as those between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East, sanctions, transportation constraints or supplier failures may disrupt our supply chain, delay deployments, increase costs or require us to redesign or source substitute components. Political tensions may also reduce trade, investment and technology exchange between major economies and adversely affect global economic conditions and financial markets.
| Page 13 |
Local ownership requirements mean we do not wholly own several operating entities.
Our interests in the Oman and United Arab Emirates entities are 54 percent and 60 percent respectively, reflecting local ownership requirements, and several other subsidiaries are not wholly owned. We may not be able to control distributions, strategy or the disposal of those businesses without the agreement of local holders, and disputes with them could disrupt operations.
Restrictions on the movement of funds may prevent us from accessing cash held in subsidiaries.
Cash generated in India, Oman, the United Arab Emirates and the Philippines may be subject to exchange control, withholding tax, statutory reserve or approval requirements before it can be remitted to the Company. Our obligations fall due principally at the parent, so a restriction on upstreaming funds could leave the Company without the means to meet them even where the Group as a whole is generating cash.
We are exposed to currency movements across nine functional currencies.
Our reporting currency is the United States dollar while most revenue and costs arise in other currencies. For the year ended June 30, 2026 the exchange loss on translating foreign operations taken to other comprehensive income was $7,980,043. We do not hedge these exposures. Movements in exchange rates will continue to affect reported revenue, results and net assets.
An increase in the value of the United States dollar could increase the real cost of our products to customers in markets where we sell in dollars, and a weaker dollar could increase the cost of local operating expenses and capital expenditures. Because a substantial part of our obligations is denominated in United States dollars while our cash flows arise principally in other currencies, adverse movements could also reduce the funds available to meet those obligations.
We are subject to anti-bribery, sanctions and anti-money laundering laws in multiple jurisdictions, and non-compliance could subject us to criminal and civil liability.
We are subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, the United States domestic bribery statute contained in 18 U.S.C. § 201, the United States Travel Act, the USA PATRIOT Act, the Australian foreign bribery offences, the United Kingdom Bribery Act 2010, applicable sanctions regimes and other anti-bribery and anti-money laundering laws in the countries in which we operate. These laws are interpreted broadly and prohibit us from authorizing, offering or providing improper payments or benefits to recipients in the public or private sector. Our operations in the Middle East, South Asia and South-East Asia, our dealings with government, defense and state-affiliated customers, and our use of third-party contractors, partners and agents heighten these risks, and we may be held liable for the activities of those third parties even if we do not authorize them.
Our compliance program is at an early stage relative to the scale of the enlarged Group, and there can be no assurance that our employees, representatives, contractors, partners or agents will comply with these laws at all times. Noncompliance could result in whistleblower complaints, investigations, disgorgement, significant fines, civil and criminal penalties, debarment from government contracting, the loss of export privileges and reputational harm, and responding to any investigation would likely divert management’s attention and result in significant costs.
We are subject to export and import controls that may restrict sales of our technologies and expose us to penalties.
Exports of our technologies must comply with the export, import, customs and trade laws of the jurisdictions in which we operate, including Australia, the United States and India, which may overlap or conflict. Changes in our technologies, in applicable laws, or in the countries, governments, persons or technologies targeted by those laws may delay the introduction of our products in international markets or prevent their export to certain countries or persons altogether. If we fail to comply, we and certain of our employees could be subject to substantial civil or criminal penalties, including the loss of export or import privileges.
| Page 14 |
Transfer pricing and tax positions across the Group may be challenged.
The Group has significant intra-group trading, including the supply of resources and services between entities in India, Singapore, the Middle East and Australia. Tax authorities may challenge our transfer pricing, our permanent establishment positions or the availability of tax losses, and any adjustment, interest or penalty could be material.
Risks relating to regulation and financial reporting
We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which we are in the process of remediating.
In connection with the preparation and audit of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2026, the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting were identified:
(1) the Group’s internal control over financial reporting framework, including entity-level controls and financial close controls, was not adequately designed, formally documented, or consistently evidenced. These deficiencies affected the control environment, risk assessment, and monitoring activities and resulted in control gaps across key financial close processes, including account reconciliations, journal entry reviews, account analyses, and approval controls. Certain controls were incomplete or not performed timely, contributing to repeated year-end journal entry corrections;
(2) the Group lacks sufficient financial reporting resources with the appropriate experience to consistently meet applicable financial reporting, internal control, and reporting requirements, particularly across newly acquired entities. Limited staffing and lack of segregation of duties also result in significant reliance on the Chief Financial Officer and central finance team; and
(3) the Group has not fully integrated its expanded operations into a consistent internal control framework, resulting in gaps in the governance, information systems, monitoring activities, and oversight of acquired entities.
These material weaknesses include the two material weaknesses identified before the direct listing, which related to the lack of a formally implemented and documented system of internal control over financial reporting and the lack of sufficient accounting personnel with knowledge and experience of SEC and PCAOB reporting. The year ended June 30, 2026 was the Group’s first financial year as a consolidated group. The acquisitions completed on February 12, 2026, four and a half months before the year end, brought into the Group businesses in eleven countries, each with its own accounting systems, reporting calendar and local reporting framework, and the financial statements for the year were the first prepared and audited on a group basis.
We have begun to implement measures intended to remediate these material weaknesses, which are described in Item 15. The material weaknesses had not been remediated at June 30, 2026. A material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls have operated for a sufficient period and management has concluded, through testing, that they are operating effectively.
The acquisitions completed on February 12, 2026 brought into the Group accounting systems, processes and personnel in eleven countries. Our internal control over financial reporting must operate effectively across those businesses, and our reporting depends on the consolidation of entities with different systems and reporting calendars.
If we fail to remediate these material weaknesses, fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, or identify additional material weaknesses in future, we may be unable to report our results accurately or on time, we may be required to restate previously issued financial statements, investors may lose confidence in our reporting, and we may face regulatory action or delisting.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We cannot assure you that the measures we have taken, and are continuing to implement, will be sufficient to remediate the material weaknesses or to prevent additional material weaknesses in future, or that our internal controls will meet all standards applicable to companies with publicly traded securities.
| Page 15 |
Our previously reported financial information may be restated.
The accounting for the acquisitions is provisional, and the Group consolidates entities reporting under different local frameworks, in nine currencies, using accounting systems that are not integrated. The conversion of those records to IFRS Accounting Standards and their consolidation involves manual processes, and errors may not be detected on a timely basis. Reported figures may therefore be corrected in a later period. A restatement would harm our credibility with investors, may require an amended filing, and may attract regulatory attention.
We will become subject to the internal control reporting requirements of Section 404 and will cease to be an emerging growth company, and our compliance costs will increase.
This annual report does not include a management report on internal control over financial reporting in reliance on the transition period available to newly public companies. From our second annual report we will be required to provide that report. While we remain an emerging growth company we are exempt from the auditor attestation requirement, but that exemption will end, and compliance will require investment in personnel, systems and documentation. We will cease to be an emerging growth company on the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues are $1.235 billion or more, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the first sale of our ordinary shares under an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the preceding three-year period, and (iv) the date on which we become a large accelerated filer under Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. From that date the exemptions we rely on, including the exemption from auditor attestation on internal control, will no longer be available.
We are an emerging growth company and a foreign private issuer, and the reduced disclosure available to us may make our ordinary shares less attractive.
As an emerging growth company we are exempt from the auditor attestation requirement of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and from certain rules of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, including any requirement for mandatory audit firm rotation or for a supplement to the auditor’s report. As a foreign private issuer we are exempt from the proxy rules, we report semi-annually rather than quarterly, and we may follow Australian practice in lieu of certain Nasdaq corporate governance requirements. Investors may find our ordinary shares less attractive as a result of receiving less information, or information less frequently, than for a domestic issuer. We may also lose foreign private issuer status, which would materially increase our reporting costs.
In addition, we follow certain Australian home country practices in lieu of Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, including with respect to executive sessions of independent directors, disclosure of third-party director and director nominee compensation, shareholder approval of certain issuances of securities, including issuances of 20 percent or more of our outstanding ordinary shares and the establishment or material amendment of equity compensation arrangements, and the composition and charter of our compensation committee, which may afford less protection to shareholders than is accorded to investors in a domestic United States issuer. See “Item 6.C. Board Practices” and “Item 16G. Corporate Governance.”
We determine our foreign private issuer status annually as of the last business day of our second fiscal quarter. We would lose that status if more than 50 percent of our outstanding voting securities were held by United States residents and the majority of our executive officers or directors were United States citizens or residents, more than 50 percent of our assets were located in the United States, or our business were administered principally in the United States. Future equity issuances, acquisitions or changes in our shareholder base could increase this risk. If we lose foreign private issuer status, we would be required to comply with the reporting requirements applicable to United States domestic issuers, could be required to report under United States generally accepted accounting principles, and would incur significantly higher legal, accounting and other costs.
| Page 16 |
We may be a passive foreign investment company, which would have adverse United States tax consequences for United States holders.
A non-United States corporation is a passive foreign investment company for a taxable year if a specified proportion of its income is passive income or of its assets produce passive income. The determination depends on the composition of our income and assets, tested quarterly by fair value, and our balance sheet changed fundamentally on February 12, 2026. If we are treated as a passive foreign investment company for any year in which a United States holder holds ordinary shares, that holder may be subject to adverse tax consequences and additional reporting.
We will be a passive foreign investment company for any taxable year in which at least 75 percent of our gross income is passive income or at least 50 percent of the value of our assets, determined on a quarterly average basis, is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income, including cash. Because the value of our goodwill may fluctuate with our market capitalization, a decline in the price of the ordinary shares could increase the risk of passive foreign investment company classification. Adverse consequences may include increased tax on disposition gains and excess distributions, interest charges and the loss of preferential rates on dividends, and generally continue to apply even if we cease to be a passive foreign investment company unless a timely election is made. A mark-to-market election may be available only if the ordinary shares are regularly traded, and we do not expect to provide the information necessary for a qualified electing fund election. United States holders should consult their own tax advisors.
Evolving government regulation and environmental, social and governance requirements may increase our costs and expose us to reputational risk.
We are subject to general business laws as well as laws specifically governing the internet, e-commerce, electronic devices, consumer protection, telecommunications and the commercial operation of unmanned aerial vehicles, and unfavorable changes could reduce demand for our services and increase our costs. Sustainability reporting requirements and expectations, including those associated with the International Sustainability Standards Board, the SEC’s climate-related disclosure rules, which have been stayed pending judicial review, and Australian mandatory climate reporting, may evolve, conflict across jurisdictions or require costly systems and controls. The energy consumption associated with training and operating AI models and data infrastructure may increase our costs or expose us to stakeholder scrutiny, and any failure or perceived failure to meet stakeholder expectations or our public commitments could harm our reputation and business.
Australian dividend withholding tax and imputation rules may affect returns to United States holders.
Australia operates a dividend imputation system under which dividends may be franked to the extent of Australian tax paid on company profits. Fully franked dividends are not subject to Australian dividend withholding tax, but unfranked dividends that are not declared to be conduit foreign income are subject to withholding at a rate of up to 30 percent, which may be reduced to 15 percent for United States residents entitled to benefits under the Australia–United States double taxation convention, or to 5 percent for qualifying companies holding 10 percent or more of the voting power. Although we do not anticipate paying dividends, the treatment of any future dividend will depend on the extent to which it is franked and whether the holder is entitled to treaty benefits.
| Page 17 |
Risks relating to our ordinary shares
Our founder controls a majority of our voting power and his interests may differ from those of other shareholders.
Mr Balasubramanian holds approximately 59.5 percent of the ordinary shares on issue. He is able to control the outcome of most matters submitted to shareholders, including the election of directors and the approval of significant transactions, and could prevent or delay a change of control that other shareholders consider favorable. We are a controlled company for the purposes of the Nasdaq corporate governance rules and could elect to rely on the associated exemptions in future.
Our ordinary shares have a limited trading history and their price may be volatile.
Our ordinary shares have traded on The Nasdaq Global Market only since February 12, 2026 and trading volumes have been limited. The price of the ordinary shares may be volatile, may be affected by factors unrelated to our performance, and investors may be unable to sell at or above the price they paid.
The market for our ordinary shares may be less active or liquid than the markets for securities of more established companies, and limited trading volume may increase volatility and make it difficult for shareholders to sell their shares at desired prices. Factors that could cause the price to fluctuate include variations in our results of operations, announcements relating to our financing arrangements, acquisitions or customers, changes in analyst estimates, the expiry of lock-up restrictions, and general market, economic and political conditions.
Sales of ordinary shares after lock-up expiry could depress the market price.
The resale of 68,696,076 ordinary shares has been registered under the Securities Act, and shares issued as consideration for the acquisitions, under the VIS subscription agreement and for services are subject to lock-up or escrow arrangements of six, twelve and twenty-four months from February 12, 2026. As those restrictions lapse, a substantial number of shares may become available for sale. Sales, or the perception that sales may occur, could cause the market price to fall.
We do not intend to pay dividends.
We have never paid a dividend and do not expect to do so in the foreseeable future. Investors should not rely on an investment in the ordinary shares to provide income, and any return will depend on appreciation in the price of the shares.
We may fail to satisfy the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq.
Continued listing requires compliance with minimum bid price, market value, shareholder equity and corporate governance standards. Our losses, our net current liability position and the volatility of our share price mean we may fail to meet one or more of those standards. Delisting would reduce liquidity, impair our ability to raise capital and could reduce the value of the ordinary shares.
It may be difficult for investors to enforce judgments against us or our directors.
The Company is incorporated in Australia and a majority of its directors and officers, and most of its assets, are located outside the United States. It may not be possible to serve process within the United States, or to enforce in Australia a judgment of a United States court, including one predicated on the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws.
There is doubt as to the enforceability in Australia, in original actions or in actions to enforce judgments of United States courts, of civil liabilities predicated on the United States federal securities laws. Awards of punitive damages may also be unenforceable in Australia, as Australian courts may treat such awards as penal in nature.
| Page 18 |
Australian law imposes different requirements on shareholder derivative actions, which may limit shareholders’ ability to bring claims.
Under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (the “Corporations Act”), a shareholder seeking to bring a derivative action on behalf of the Company must obtain leave of the court, which requires the shareholder to demonstrate, among other things, that the Company itself is unlikely to bring the proceedings, that the shareholder is acting in good faith, and that granting leave is in the best interests of the Company. These requirements differ from, and may be more restrictive than, those under United States law, and our shareholders may therefore have more limited ability to protect their interests than shareholders of a company incorporated in the United States.
Australian takeover provisions may discourage a change of control.
Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act prohibits an acquisition that takes a person’s voting power above 20 percent, other than in permitted ways, and acquisitions by foreign persons may require approval under the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975 (Cth). These provisions may deter a transaction that shareholders would otherwise consider favorable, including one at a premium to the market price.
Changes to the foreign investment regime administered by the Foreign Investment Review Board, including changes in screening thresholds or national security review criteria, could further restrict investment in the Company, and any approval may be subject to conditions or delay. Our founder’s controlling shareholding may also deter or prevent a change of control.
If securities analysts do not publish research about us, or publish adverse research, the price of our ordinary shares could decline.
The trading market for our ordinary shares depends in part on research published by securities analysts. We have limited analyst coverage. If coverage is not initiated, is discontinued, or is unfavorable, the price and trading volume of the ordinary shares could decline.
General risk factors
Adverse economic, inflationary, interest rate and capital markets conditions could harm our business and the market price of our ordinary shares.
Our business depends on customer spending on technology, which may decline in periods of economic uncertainty, inflation or high interest rates. Volatility in the capital and credit markets could also make it more difficult or costly for us to refinance our borrowings or raise additional capital when needed, which is of particular importance given the maturities described under “—Risks relating to our financial condition and capital requirements.” Inflation may also increase our labor and operating costs, which we may not be able to pass on to customers under fixed-price contracts. In addition, a shutdown of the United States federal government could delay the SEC’s review of any registration statement we may file and impair our ability to access the United States capital markets.
We incur significant costs as a result of operating as a public company in the United States.
As a company listed on Nasdaq and subject to the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as to Australian corporate and securities laws, we incur significant legal, accounting, insurance and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company, and these costs will increase as we cease to be an emerging growth company. These obligations require substantial management attention and may divert resources from the operation of our business.
We may become the target of securities class action litigation.
Securities class action litigation has often been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their securities. Any such litigation, regardless of its merit, could result in substantial costs, divert management’s attention and resources, and harm our reputation, and an adverse outcome could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Development of the business
Braiin Limited was incorporated in Australia pursuant to the Corporations Act on July 4, 2022.
Prior to Braiin’s formation in July 2022, the principal activities of Braiin were carried out by Raptor300 Inc. (“Raptor300”). Our founder and Chief Executive Officer, Natraj Balasubramanian, established Raptor300 in 2015, which served as the foundational technology entity. On July 26, 2022 the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity of Raptor300, a Delaware company which holds the core intellectual property underpinning the Group’s autonomous aerial robotics. That acquisition was accounted for as a reverse acquisition of a non-operating entity. On October 31, 2022 the Company acquired from Flamingo AI the patent for a semi-supervised question answering machine, United States patent 10,650,818.
Braiin LLC, a Delaware company, was incorporated on June 6, 2023 as an organic expansion of the Group.
The Company began generating revenue on February 12, 2026 through the businesses acquired on that date. Performance under its binding long-term contracts has not yet commenced; see “Contracted revenue and order book” in Item 4.B.
Nasdaq direct listing and completion of the acquisitions
The Company registered the resale of 68,696,076 ordinary shares under the Securities Act (Registration No. 333-291410). The ordinary shares commenced trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol BRAI on February 12, 2026 by way of direct listing. Maxim Group LLC acted as financial adviser. The Company received no proceeds from the listing.

The shares are subject to voluntary escrow, as to one half for 12 months and as to the other half for 24 months from issue.
At June 30, 2026 the Group comprised the Company, 22 subsidiaries and a branch in the Philippines. The subsidiaries are Raptor300 Inc. and Braiin LLC, incorporated and organized, respectively, in the State of Delaware, United States; Raptor Sri Lanka 300 Pvt. Ltd., incorporated in Sri Lanka; VIS Networks Private Limited, incorporated in India, which operates the branch in the Philippines; VIS Global PTE Ltd, incorporated in Singapore, and its subsidiaries VISNET Global SDN BHD (Malaysia), VIS Networks UK Limited (United Kingdom), VIS Global Digital Solutions LLC (Oman), VIS Global Inc (United States), Visnet Technologies LLC (United Arab Emirates), VIS Global Pty Ltd (Australia) and VIS Global EU B.V. (Netherlands); Vega Global Technologies Pty Ltd and its subsidiaries Mirragin RAS Consulting Pty Ltd, Mirragin Consultants Pty Ltd, Mirragin Project Isidore Pty Ltd, Project Isidore Pty Ltd, Nisus Australia Pty Ltd and Nisus Payroll Pty Ltd, all incorporated in Australia; and Connect Simple Pty Ltd, incorporated in Australia, and its subsidiaries Connect Easy Ltd (United Kingdom) and ConnectEasy Inc (Delaware, United States). The Company’s interest in each subsidiary is set out at Note 38 to the financial statements. There has been no change in the composition of the Group from June 30, 2026 to October 30, 2026, the latest practicable date.

Capital expenditure and divestitures
The Group’s capital expenditure, being cash purchases of property, plant, equipment and intangible assets, was $160,953 in the year ended June 30, 2026, nil in the year ended June 30, 2025 and $885 in the year ended June 30, 2024. The Group made no divestitures in any of those years.
The Group’s non-current assets increased substantially during the year ended June 30, 2026, but that increase arose almost entirely through the acquisitions completed on February 12, 2026 rather than through capital expenditure. The assets acquired in those transactions included property, plant and equipment of $1,621,997, investment property of $4,096,400 and intangible assets of $6,312, a total of $5,724,709, together with goodwill of $237,624,573. Pending completion of the purchase price allocations, no intangible assets other than that software have been recognized separately from goodwill.
The cash component of the consideration for the acquisitions, net of cash acquired, was $9,156,879, funded from the proceeds of the secured promissory notes issued to Streeterville Capital, LLC and of the Advaitha Note Purchase Agreement. The balance of the consideration was satisfied by the issue of ordinary shares and by deferred consideration. Other than these acquisitions, the Group has had no principal capital expenditures or divestitures since July 1, 2023, and none is in progress as of the date of this annual report. During the year ended June 30, 2026 and the current fiscal year to the date of this annual report, there have been no public takeover offers by third parties for the Company’s ordinary shares and no public takeover offers by the Company for the shares of another company.
B. Business Overview
Overview
Braiin is an Australian technology company that applies proprietary and patented artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to generate actionable insights across three verticals: agriculture technology, customer experience and employee experience as a service, and property technology. The Group’s platforms are built on a single technology architecture for data ingestion, insight generation and automation, which allows capability developed in one vertical to be deployed across the others.
Following the acquisitions completed on February 12, 2026, the Group operates through subsidiaries in Australia, India, Singapore, Malaysia, the United Kingdom, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, the Netherlands, Sri Lanka and the United States, and through a branch in the Philippines.
Agriculture technology
The Group’s agriculture technology platform combines autonomous aerial robots, machine learning analytics and internet of things integration to provide real-time insight into crop health, irrigation, soil condition, pest detection, yield prediction and weather risk.
The aerial robots produce two- and three-dimensional maps from hyperspectral, multispectral, light detection and ranging and thermal sensors, and can identify hydration, insect and herbicide issues seven to ten days before they are visible to the human eye. The spraying aircraft cover two to three hectares per hour carrying fifty kilograms of chemical, operating at up to fifteen times the speed of manual spraying while using less chemical and removing human exposure to pesticide.
The analytics layer uses EfficientNet, ResNet-50, YOLOv8 and long short-term memory models for image recognition, anomaly detection, weather forecasting and yield prediction. The enterprise resource planning platform provides end-to-end farm management covering inventory, financial tracking, crop scheduling and weather risk mitigation, and feeds insights back into the aerial fleet for automated resource allocation, spraying and harvesting.
The underlying technology stack comprises TensorFlow and PyTorch for machine learning, OpenCV and Google Earth Engine for spectral imaging, AWS SageMaker for cloud model training, and AWS Greengrass and Apache Kafka for edge computing and real-time analytics.

Mirragin RAS Consulting Pty Ltd, acquired through Vega, is an Australian consulting and technology firm specializing in the deployment of aerial robotics, autonomous systems and machine learning solutions for mission-critical applications across agriculture, defense, emergency response and industrial operations.
Vega Global Technologies Pty Ltd owns a portfolio of ten unmanned systems invention disclosures, which consolidate into seven invention families: modular role-swap payloads with digital-twin release gating; secure multi-link command-and-control orchestration; autonomous swarm coordination with an artificial intelligence mission layer; edge artificial intelligence payload optimization; autonomous navigation in environments where satellite navigation is denied; an air-logistics orchestrator and compliance engine; and a predictive airworthiness digital twin. The inventions were developed by shareholders of Vega over approximately two years before the acquisition and are at the design and architecture stage of development. They are dual-use, with commercial applications in agriculture, logistics, infrastructure inspection and mining, and defense applications in intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance and medical evacuation support. Their revenue is expected to be earned through Mirragin and Nisus, which provide the route to market. Advancing them through prototyping, software implementation and testing will require further investment.
Contracted revenue and order book
At June 30, 2026 and at the date of this annual report, the Group held binding long-term contracts representing approximately $35,930,000 of contracted revenue over a five-year term, of which no amount was recognized as revenue in the year ended June 30, 2026. The Group is also party to non-binding memoranda of understanding representing a further $111,980,000. Neither amount changed between June 30, 2026 and the date of this annual report. The contracts and memoranda of understanding remain in place; performance has not yet commenced, and the Group expects to commence performance under the binding contracts in the first calendar quarter of 2027.

| Total | 147,910,000 | – | 147,910,000 | 147,910,000 | ||||||||||||
No revenue was recognized under the binding long-term contracts in the year ended June 30, 2026, and the contracted amount of $35,930,000 is not included in the remaining performance obligations disclosed at Note 31 to the financial statements. The memoranda of understanding are not enforceable and are not contracts with customers under IFRS 15. Revenue under the binding contracts will be recognized over the five-year term from commencement of performance.
The memoranda of understanding are not binding and impose no obligation on either party. No assurance can be given that any of them will result in a contract, or that any contract will be performed on the terms or over the period presently contemplated.

The Group’s policy emphasizes internal capability building, collaboration with external domain experts, and iterative development informed by customer feedback and pilot deployment, using agile methods and cross-functional development cycles.
Intellectual property
The Group’s business does not depend materially on any single patent or patent application. The Group relies principally on proprietary software, know-how, trade secrets and copyright to protect its technology, including the software platforms of its customer experience and property technology businesses and the unmanned systems technology developed within the Group, together with confidentiality and intellectual property assignment provisions in its arrangements with employees and contractors. The patents and patent applications held by the Group, and their status as at the date of this annual report, are set out below.

Vega also owns a portfolio of ten unmanned systems invention disclosures, which consolidate into seven invention families: modular role-swap payloads with digital-twin release gating; secure multi-link command-and-control orchestration; autonomous swarm coordination with an artificial intelligence mission layer; edge artificial intelligence payload optimization; autonomous navigation where satellite navigation is denied; an air-logistics orchestrator and compliance engine; and a predictive airworthiness digital twin. The portfolio is described further under “Agriculture technology” above. No patents are held in respect of it. The portfolio is protected as confidential know-how, and the invention disclosures have been drafted in a form suitable for filing. Vega has deferred patent applications while the designs are finalized, to avoid public disclosure of the inventions, and may file as the technology matures. The portfolio is owned by Vega and was acquired by the Group with Vega on February 12, 2026. In the consolidated financial statements its value is carried within the goodwill recognized on the acquisition of the Vega group, pending completion of the purchase price allocation (Note 37 to the financial statements).
Accounting for the technology and relationships acquired. The technology, software platforms, invention portfolio, customer contracts and customer relationships described in this Item 4.B form part of the businesses acquired on February 12, 2026, and are owned and used by the Group. The consideration paid for those businesses reflects their value. In the consolidated financial statements that value is carried within goodwill of $228,990,580 at June 30, 2026, rather than as separately identified intangible assets, because the purchase price allocations for the acquisitions had not been completed when the financial statements were authorized for issue. IFRS 3 permits the acquirer twelve months from the acquisition date to complete that work. On completion, the assets that meet the criteria for separate recognition will be recognized as intangible assets at their fair value at February 12, 2026, with a corresponding reduction in goodwill, and amortized over their useful lives from that date. See Notes 4, 25 and 37 to the financial statements.
| Page 26 |
Government regulation
The Group’s operations are subject to aviation regulation in each jurisdiction in which its autonomous aerial robots operate, covering flight paths, chemical spraying, remote operation, airspace access and safety standards; to data privacy and artificial intelligence governance frameworks including the General Data Protection Regulation, the California Consumer Privacy Act, equivalent laws in Australia, India and the United Kingdom, and the European Union Artificial Intelligence Act; and, in the property technology division, to licensing, consumer protection, anti-money laundering and financial services regulation arising from utility switching, embedded finance and digital billing, together with payment processing and cybersecurity standards applying to its digital wallet partner.
Aviation. The Group must hold an approval from the national aviation authority in each country in which its aerial robots operate, including the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) in Australia and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation in India. A separate approval is generally required for each new country, aircraft type or operating mode. As a result, the timing of the Group’s entry into new markets depends on regulatory approval timetables. In Australia, Mirragin RAS Consulting Pty Ltd holds a Remotely Piloted Aircraft Operator’s Certificate (CASA.ReOC.7365) granted by CASA under regulation 101.335 of the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998, effective from September 5, 2025 to July 31, 2028. The certificate authorizes the operation of multi-rotor remotely piloted aircraft of up to 25 kilograms for aerial work in Australia, subject to the conditions in the certificate, including that each aircraft operated is identified in the holder’s documented practices and procedures. It does not authorize operations into or out of Australia or remote pilot licence training.
Defense export controls. Exports of the Group’s unmanned systems technology to foreign customers or personnel may require permits under the Defence Trade Controls Act 2012 (Cth) and, for technology held by Raptor300 Inc, U.S. export control regulations. These requirements may delay or restrict sales to certain countries. The Group does not currently hold any Australian defence export permits or U.S. export licences. The Group has not yet completed a formal export-control classification of its unmanned systems technology and is therefore unable to confirm whether any permit or licence would have been required for its past exports or transfers of technology.
The Group is also subject to taxation and transfer pricing rules, consumer protection and advertising law, telecommunications regulation, electronic commerce law, environmental regulation of electronic devices and unmanned aerial vehicle operations, and workplace safety and labor law. Certain jurisdictions restrict cross-border data flows, foreign ownership of technology providers, or classify drone and artificial intelligence systems as dual-use or export-controlled.
In India the Group’s activities are subject to the Information Technology Act 2000 and rules made under it. The Group is also subject to the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023, which restricts the processing and transfer of personal data.
The Group is subject to data protection regimes in each jurisdiction in which it operates, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles, the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation, and equivalent regimes in Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Oman and the United Arab Emirates. It is also subject to sanctions and export control regimes, including Australian autonomous sanctions, and to anti-bribery laws in each jurisdiction, including the Australian foreign bribery offences, the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the United Kingdom Bribery Act.
| Page 27 |
Manufacturing
The Group assembles its autonomous aerial robots at its facilities in Sri Lanka, or purchases off-the-shelf aircraft which it optimizes for customer requirements. All components are manufactured by third parties.
Customers and sales cycle
The Group sells to enterprise, government and carrier customers, and to consumers in the telecommunications connection business. Enterprise and government engagements are typically won through competitive tender or panel arrangement and have sales cycles of six to eighteen months. Contracts are typically for terms of one to five years, with managed services engagements generally renewing annually. Consumer connection revenue is transactional and is earned on each completed connection. Consumer connection volumes are higher in the periods of peak residential moving activity, principally December to February and around the end of June, and government revenue may be affected by the timing of government budget cycles. The seasonality of the Group’s business is described under “Seasonality” below.
Seasonality
The Group’s agricultural technology activities are seasonal, following planting and spraying cycles in each market. Government and enterprise procurement in Australia and India is weighted towards the end of the respective fiscal years, June 30 in Australia and March 31 in India. Consumer connection volumes in the property technology business are higher in periods of peak residential moving activity, principally December to February and around the end of June. Managed services and recurring subscription revenue is not materially seasonal. As a result, the Group’s revenue may vary from quarter to quarter.
Suppliers
The systems integration and managed services businesses source hardware, software and subscriptions from a limited number of global technology vendors and their authorized distributors, and depend on maintaining vendor authorizations and accreditations. Components for the Group’s autonomous aerial robots are manufactured by third parties. The Group does not manufacture hardware itself. Prices for these products, and for drone, sensor, battery and communications components, can be volatile and are affected by vendor pricing, exchange rates, tariffs and supply chain conditions.
Distribution channels
The Group sells directly through its own sales and engineering teams in each market, through vendor and distributor channels, through panel and framework arrangements with government customers, and, in the telecommunications connection business, through online comparison and referral channels.

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
A. Operating Results
Overview
On February 12, 2026 the Company acquired the VIS group, comprising VIS Networks Private Limited, VIS Global PTE Ltd and their subsidiaries; the Vega group, comprising Vega Global Technologies Pty Ltd, which on the same date acquired the Mirragin and Nisus businesses; and Connect Simple Pty Ltd. On the same date the Company’s ordinary shares commenced trading on The Nasdaq Global Market. Before the acquisitions the Group had no significant revenue-generating operations. The results for fiscal 2026 include the acquired businesses only from February 12, 2026, approximately four and a half months of trading, and are not comparable with fiscal 2025 or fiscal 2024.
The acquisitions have been accounted for using the acquisition method. The acquisitions have been accounted for provisionally. The purchase price allocations had not been finalized at the date the financial statements were authorized for issue. The identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at provisional amounts, being management’s best estimate of their fair values at February 12, 2026 on the information available. Those amounts start from the balance sheet of each acquired entity at February 12, 2026, adjusted where that information showed that fair value differed from carrying amount, including the measurement of trade receivables net of lifetime expected credit losses, of the investments of VIS Networks Private Limited at fair value and of its work in progress at nil. No intangible assets have been recognized separately from goodwill other than software of $6,312 of the Mirragin group. At the acquisition date the Group recognized goodwill of $237,624,573, which includes the value of the intangible assets of the acquired businesses. The Group will complete the accounting within the measurement period of twelve months from the acquisition date permitted by IFRS 3 and will adjust the provisional amounts retrospectively, recognizing separately from goodwill any intangible assets identified, together with the related deferred tax and amortization from the acquisition date. See Notes 4 and 37 to the financial statements.

A discussion of the Group’s results of operations for fiscal 2025 compared with fiscal 2024 has been omitted from this annual report. That discussion is included under “Braiin’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of Operations—Comparison of the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024” in the Company’s final prospectus dated February 2, 2026, filed with the SEC on February 2, 2026 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) as part of the Company’s registration statement on Form F-1 (Registration No. 333-291410).
Revenue
Revenue for fiscal 2026 was $25,852,647, against nil in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024. Substantially all of it was earned by the businesses acquired on February 12, 2026: network infrastructure and managed services in India contributed $15,342,760 and internationally $5,967,585, unmanned systems consulting, training and workforce services $3,952,099, and telecommunications connection services $444,318. Revenue comprised the sale of equipment of $10,073,165, software licences and subscriptions, presented net as agent, of $269,316, annual maintenance and warranty support of $5,461,976, managed, professional and workforce services of $9,603,872 and telecommunications connection services of $444,318.
Had the acquisitions been completed on July 1, 2025, Group revenue for fiscal 2026 would have been approximately $78,292,678 and the loss for the year approximately $24,050,775. These pro forma amounts are unaudited and are not included in the financial statements. They do not reflect the amortization of any intangible assets that may be recognized on completion of the purchase price allocations and are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been achieved.
Operating expenses
Cost of materials and cost of services were $16,305,410, or 63 percent of revenue, and relate to the hardware, software, subscriptions and subcontracted resources supplied in the network infrastructure, managed services and workforce businesses. Employee benefits expense of $8,521,383 relates principally to the workforce of the acquired businesses.
| Page 33 |
Share-based payments of $14,313,666 arose on ordinary shares issued to Maxim Group and other advisers, and provided to the broker of the vendors of Mirragin RAS Consulting Pty Ltd, for services in connection with the direct listing and the acquisitions. The shares were measured at $10.17 per share, the price at which an unrelated investor subscribed for shares for cash on February 11, 2026. The charge relates to those specific adviser awards for the direct listing and the acquisitions, which are not expected to recur. Professional services of $2,863,088 (fiscal 2025: $792,020; fiscal 2024: $1,030,920) include the legal, accounting and advisory costs of the listing and the acquisitions, which are also not expected to recur at that scale.
Depreciation and amortization was $186,173 (fiscal 2025: $113,370; fiscal 2024: $148,313). It comprised depreciation of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets of $155,948 (fiscal 2025: $83,145; fiscal 2024: $148,313) and amortization of software and related licences of $30,225 (fiscal 2025: $30,225; fiscal 2024: nil). The increase from fiscal 2025 arose in the VIS businesses, whose depreciation from February 12, 2026 was $149,297. Depreciation and amortization of the Braiin corporate segment decreased to $36,876 from $113,370, as depreciation decreased to $6,651 from $83,145 while amortization was unchanged.
Administrative and other expenses were $3,571,971 (fiscal 2025: $725,875; fiscal 2024: $268,307). The increase reflects the inclusion of the acquired businesses from February 12, 2026 and part of the listing and acquisition-related costs.
Impairment losses on financial assets of $734,011 are expected credit losses on the trade receivables of the VIS businesses. They arose principally on bringing those receivables onto the Group’s provisioning policy at June 30, 2026.
Remeasurement of financial items was a loss of $941,199. It comprises the loss of $987,972 on the conversion of the Braiin LLC and Raptor300 Inc SAFE notes, less a net gain of $46,773 on other financial assets.
The net foreign exchange loss of $1,350,475 (fiscal 2025: $24,586; fiscal 2024: $4,225) arose on monetary items held in currencies other than the functional currency of the Group entity concerned.
Finance costs, income tax and loss for the year
Finance costs were $2,015,909 (fiscal 2025: $317,103; fiscal 2024: $82,755). The increase reflects the $17,900,000 borrowed in fiscal 2026, principally to fund the cash consideration for the acquisitions. Finance costs comprise interest on borrowings and notes of $1,554,299, principally on the Streeterville promissory notes and the Advaitha Note Purchase Agreement. They also include the non-cash unwinding of the discount on the VIS deferred consideration of $445,940. Finance income of $157,873 was interest earned principally by the VIS businesses.
Income tax expense was $113,871, comprising current tax of $432,192 on the taxable profits of acquired subsidiaries and current tax of $226,202 in respect of a prior year of VIS Networks Private Limited, less a deferred tax benefit of $544,523. No tax benefit has been recognized on the losses of the Company, and the share-based payments are not deductible. The reconciliation to the prima facie tax benefit is set out at Note 12 to the financial statements.
The loss for the year was $24,656,361 (fiscal 2025: $1,972,954; fiscal 2024: $1,715,375), of which $24,366,196 is attributable to owners of the Company and $290,165 to non-controlling interests. The basic and diluted loss per share was $0.1512.
Adjusted EBITDA
The loss for the year under IFRS Accounting Standards was $24,656,361. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA, a measure not prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards, to assess the operating performance of the Group and of the businesses acquired on February 12, 2026. Adjusted EBITDA is loss for the year before income tax, finance costs, finance income and depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude share-based payments, fair value losses on financial instruments, net foreign exchange gains and losses, listing and transaction costs, and the loss on loss of control of a subsidiary. Share-based payments of $14,313,666 arose on ordinary shares issued to advisers for services in connection with the direct listing and the acquisitions; they are non-cash, and management does not expect awards of that kind to recur. Only those adviser awards are excluded. Share-based compensation to directors and officers is expected to be a recurring cost of the Group: the Company has committed to equity awards of $5,150,000 that will be granted once an equity incentive plan is adopted (see Item 6.B), and the expense on those awards and on any later awards will not be excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Fair value losses on financial instruments of $941,199, principally the loss on conversion of the SAFE notes, are included in the remeasurement of financial items of $1,063,659 and arise from the Group’s financing rather than its trading. The impairment of trade receivables of $122,460, also included in that line, is not excluded. Net foreign exchange losses of $1,350,475 arise principally on the retranslation of balances held by Group entities in currencies other than their functional currency; they will recur while those balances are held, but depend on exchange rates rather than operating performance. Listing and transaction costs of $3,640,118 are the costs of the direct listing and of the acquisitions completed on February 12, 2026; costs of this kind may arise again on future acquisitions. Management considers that excluding these items shows the trading performance of the businesses more clearly from period to period. They are real costs of the Group, and Adjusted EBITDA should be read together with the loss for the year.
| Page 34 |
Adjusted EBITDA includes the impairment losses on financial assets of $734,011 recognized in the year, arising principally on bringing the trade receivables of the acquired businesses onto the Group’s provisioning policy at June 30, 2026. The loss allowance of $1,971,919 on the receivables acquired was recognized at the acquisition date and is reflected in goodwill, not in the result for the year. Adjusted EBITDA uses revenue as reported under IFRS Accounting Standards, and no adjustment is made to revenue in calculating it. Reported revenue includes only services performed from February 12, 2026: $1,752,576 invoiced after that date for services performed before it was included in the balances acquired, and $1,002,470 of services performed but not invoiced at June 30, 2026 was recognized as revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance under IFRS Accounting Standards and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for loss for the year or for net cash used in operating activities. It excludes significant costs, including depreciation and amortization and the Group’s finance costs, and other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently. The following table reconciles loss for the year, the most directly comparable measure under IFRS Accounting Standards, to Adjusted EBITDA.
| $ | Fiscal 2026 | Fiscal 2025 | Fiscal 2024 | |||||||||

Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA on a pro forma basis, as if the acquisitions completed on February 12, 2026 had occurred on July 1, 2025. Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA is calculated from the unaudited pro forma loss for the year of $24,050,775 set out under “Revenue” above, which includes the results of the acquired businesses from July 1, 2025, and is adjusted for the same items as Adjusted EBITDA, together with the following amounts recognized by the acquired businesses for the period from July 1, 2025 to February 12, 2026, before they were owned by the Group: income tax, finance costs, depreciation and amortization, losses on disposal of investments they held and transaction costs they incurred in connection with the acquisitions. It does not reflect the amortization of any intangible assets that may be recognized on completion of the purchase price allocations, and is not indicative of the results that would have been achieved had the acquisitions occurred on July 1, 2025, or of future results. The following table reconciles the unaudited pro forma loss for the year to pro forma Adjusted EBITDA.

Segment results
The Group has four reportable segments, described at Note 6 to the financial statements. The results of the three segments comprising the acquired businesses are for the period from February 12, 2026 to June 30, 2026 and include no amortization of acquired intangible assets other than on software of $6,312 of the Mirragin group, no other intangible assets having been recognized separately from goodwill pending completion of the purchase price allocations.

Braiin corporate carries the share-based payments for services, the listing and acquisition costs, the finance costs of the Group’s borrowings and the deferred consideration. In the post-acquisition period VIS recorded an operating loss of $1,443,710, and Vega and Connect Simple recorded operating profits of $768,104 and $53,605 respectively.
Foreign currency
The Group reports in United States dollars and operates in nine functional currencies. The exchange loss on translating foreign operations recognized in other comprehensive income was $7,980,043, giving a total comprehensive loss for the year of $32,627,576. The loss arises principally on the goodwill and net assets of the acquired businesses, which are carried in Australian dollars and Indian rupees, both of which weakened against the United States dollar between February 12, 2026 and June 30, 2026. The Group does not hedge these exposures. See Item 11.
Governmental policies
Governmental economic, fiscal, monetary and political policies that have affected, or could materially affect, the Group’s operations or investments by United States shareholders include monetary policy in Australia and India, which affects the exchange rates of the Australian dollar and Indian rupee and the cost of the Group’s variable rate borrowings; exchange control, withholding tax and dividend distribution rules in India, Oman, the United Arab Emirates and the Philippines, which affect the remittance of cash to the Company; Australian and United States defense, export control and procurement policy; tariffs and trade restrictions affecting hardware components; and the regulation of aviation, data protection and artificial intelligence described at Item 4.B, “Government regulation.”
B. Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2026 the Group held cash and cash equivalents of $5,667,180 (June 30, 2025: $110,779) and had net current liabilities of $22,039,756. During fiscal 2026 the Group’s principal sources of funds were borrowings of $17,900,000, the issue of ordinary shares for cash of $4,999,877 and the cash held by the businesses acquired.

Net cash used in operating activities was $4,632,389, reflecting receipts from customers of $33,401,342 against payments to suppliers and employees of $37,801,842, together with interest received of $157,873 and income taxes paid of $389,762, and includes the cash costs of the listing and the acquisitions. Net cash used in investing activities was $9,525,522, comprising the acquisition of subsidiaries of $9,156,879, net of cash and cash equivalents acquired of $4,986,058, purchases of property, plant, equipment and intangible assets of $160,953, and investments, deposits and loans to external parties of $207,690. Net cash from financing activities was $19,774,241, comprising proceeds from borrowings of $17,900,000 and from the issue of shares of $4,999,877, less repayments of borrowings of $2,190,392, the principal element of lease payments of $66,655 and interest paid of $868,589.
Indebtedness and other financial liabilities
At June 30, 2026 current borrowings were $23,331,928, including promissory notes of $18,443,032, short-term bank borrowings of $2,252,236 and long-term bank borrowings of $1,714,361 presented as current, and current other financial liabilities were $12,027,726, including deferred consideration on the VIS acquisition of $6,719,772. The long-term bank borrowings are the loan against property to VIS Networks Private Limited from Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited, which is repayable in monthly instalments over ten years from 2022. They are presented as current because the terms of sanction allow the bank to withdraw the facility at any stage without notice, so that at June 30, 2026 the Group did not have the right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date. The classification does not arise from any breach of covenant or default. The Group had no non-current borrowings, and non-current other financial liabilities were $4,049,447, comprising deferred consideration of $4,000,602 and security deposits of $48,845.
The two secured promissory notes issued to Streeterville Capital, LLC bear interest at a coupon of 9 percent per annum compounding daily, are repayable in a single amount at maturity on February 12 and March 10, 2027, and are secured over substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain subsidiaries. Approximately $10,181,000 is payable at maturity, against a carrying amount at amortized cost of $8,662,042 at June 30, 2026. The notes must be prepaid by 5% of the proceeds of any fundraising or financing transaction completed while they are outstanding, and any prepayment, repayment or acceleration before maturity requires payment of the interest that would have accrued to maturity. The terms of the notes are summarized at Item 10.C. Under the Advaitha Note Purchase Agreement, as varied by the Deed of Variation and Set-Off, $9,600,000 of principal was scheduled to amortize over the three months from December 2026 to February 2027; the contractual amount payable under the facility on those terms, including interest, was $10,521,600, and its carrying amount at amortized cost at June 30, 2026 was $9,780,990. Under the Deed of Extension dated November 3, 2026 described below, the maturity of the facility was extended to February 11, 2028, with the principal repayable in three monthly instalments from December 11, 2027 to February 11, 2028. The deferred consideration for the VIS acquisition is payable in cash instalments of $7,200,000 in February 2027 and $4,800,000 in February 2028. The bank borrowings of the VIS India sub-group, comprising short-term borrowings of $2,252,236 and the loan against property from Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited, bear interest at variable rates. The facilities are described at Note 33 to the financial statements.

Going concern and capital requirements
Before giving effect to the Deed of Extension dated November 3, 2026, the Group had obligations of approximately $20.7 million under the Streeterville notes and the Advaitha facility, and deferred consideration of $7.2 million, falling due in the twelve months after June 30, 2026, against cash and cash equivalents of $5,667,180. Its ability to meet those obligations depends on generating operating cash flows from the acquired businesses, refinancing or extending its borrowings, and raising further debt or equity.
Having regard to the matters described at Note 2.5 to the financial statements, including cash flow forecasts for the twelve months from the date on which the financial statements were authorized for issue and the committed financing, the directors have concluded that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate and that no material uncertainty exists.
Committed and contemplated funding. At the date of this annual report, the Group’s committed sources of funding comprise:
(a) a Deed of Extension dated November 3, 2026 with Advaitha Pty Ltd, a related party, which extends the maturity of the $9,600,000 of principal outstanding under the note purchase agreement with Advaitha by twelve months, to February 11, 2028, and replaces its repayment schedule: interest of $115,200 a month (14.4% per annum) is payable monthly in arrears and the principal is repayable in three monthly instalments from December 11, 2027 to February 11, 2028. The non-payment of the instalments previously due from December 2026 to February 2027 is not an event of default, and the existing security continues to apply;
(b) a secured promissory note dated November 3, 2026 issued to Advaitha Pty Ltd, a related party, under which $10,200,000 is to be advanced to the Company on February 1, 2027, secured on the same terms as the Advaitha Note Purchase Agreement and bearing interest at 14.4% per annum, with the principal and accrued interest repayable on February 1, 2028; and
(c) loans totalling $14,000,000 from independent third-party lenders under binding loan agreements dated November 4, 2026 and November 2, 2026, bearing interest at 14.4% per annum and unsecured, which the lenders are irrevocably and unconditionally committed to advance: $5,500,000 on January 1, 2027 and $8,500,000 on February 1, 2027, each repayable with accrued interest twelve months after it is advanced, on January 1, 2028 and February 1, 2028 respectively.
No amount had been drawn under the facilities described in (b) and (c) at the date of this annual report. The loans described in (c) are unsecured and are not subject to any condition precedent. Other financing referred to in the Group’s forecasts, including the refinancing or extension of the Streeterville notes, the equity facility for which the Company has entered into a term sheet, and any further issue of equity or debt securities, is contemplated but not committed, and there is no assurance that it will be obtained on acceptable terms or at all. Other than the undrawn facilities of $24,200,000 described above, the Group has no material unused sources of liquidity.
| Page 38 |
Short-term and long-term requirements. In the twelve months following the date of this annual report, the Group’s principal cash requirements are the repayment of the Streeterville notes of approximately $10.2 million in February and March 2027, interest of $115,200 a month under the Advaitha Note Purchase Agreement, the VIS deferred consideration instalment of $7.2 million in February 2027, and working capital. Beyond that period, the Group’s principal requirements are the repayment of the $9.6 million of principal under the Advaitha Note Purchase Agreement in three monthly instalments from December 2027 to February 2028, the repayment of the amounts to be advanced under the secured promissory note described in (b) and the loans described in (c), with accrued interest, in January and February 2028, the VIS deferred consideration instalment of $4.8 million in February 2028, the repayment of long-term bank borrowings and lease liabilities, and continued investment in its technology.
In the Company’s opinion, its working capital is sufficient for its present requirements, being the twelve months following the date of this annual report. At June 30, 2026 the Group had net current liabilities of $22,039,756, including the Streeterville notes and the Advaitha facility. In forming that opinion, the Company has taken into account the extension of the Advaitha note purchase agreement by twelve months under the Deed of Extension dated November 3, 2026, the undrawn facilities of $24,200,000 described under “Committed and contemplated funding” above, and the operating cash flows of the acquired businesses, as described at Note 2.5 to the financial statements.
The Group had no material commitments for capital expenditure at June 30, 2026 and no off-balance sheet arrangements. It does not use derivative financial instruments. Cash is held principally in the functional currency of the entity holding it, and the transfer of funds from subsidiaries in some jurisdictions may be subject to exchange control, withholding tax or approval requirements.
Restrictions on transfers from subsidiaries.
Our subsidiaries’ ability to transfer funds to the Company is subject to the following restrictions:
| ● | Dividends by VIS Networks Private Limited may be paid only out of profits under the Indian Companies Act 2013. They are subject to Indian withholding tax of 20 percent plus surcharge and cess, reduced to 15 percent on dividends paid to the Company under the double taxation agreement between India and Australia. | |
| ● | Remittances of profits by the Philippine branch of VIS Networks Private Limited are subject to Philippine branch profit remittance tax of 15 percent. | |
| ● | VIS Global Digital Solutions LLC (Oman) must transfer 10 percent of its net profit to a statutory reserve until the reserve reaches one-third of its share capital. | |
| ● | Visnet Technologies LLC (United Arab Emirates) must transfer 5 percent of its net profit to a statutory reserve until the reserve reaches 50 percent of its share capital. | |
| ● | Distributions by the subsidiaries of VIS Global PTE Ltd that are not wholly owned require the agreement of their other shareholders: VIS Networks UK Limited (83 percent), VIS Global Digital Solutions LLC (54 percent), VIS Global Inc (63 percent), Visnet Technologies LLC (60 percent) and VIS Global Pty Ltd (72.5 percent). | |
| ● | The security arrangements with Streeterville Capital, LLC and Advaitha Pty Ltd restrict the transfer of assets by the grantors to Group entities that are not grantors. |
At June 30, 2026, $1,785,534 of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents was held by subsidiaries subject to those restrictions. The Company does not expect these restrictions to affect its ability to meet its cash obligations.
The Group’s treasury activities are managed by the Chief Financial Officer under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Their objectives are to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet the Group’s obligations as they fall due and to preserve capital. Surplus cash is held in bank deposits and in the equity securities and mutual funds described at Item 11. The Group’s borrowings bear interest at fixed rates, other than the bank borrowings of the VIS India sub-group, and the Group does not use financial instruments for hedging purposes.

C. Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.
During fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025, the Company’s research and development focused on autonomous aerial robotics, AI and machine-learning analytics, voice and speech recognition, and enterprise resource planning and utility-switching platforms. Its policies emphasized internal capability building, collaboration with external domain experts, and iterative development informed by customer feedback and pilot deployments, using agile methods and cross-functional development. The Group’s research and development focus and policy for fiscal 2026 are described at Item 4.B, “Research and development.”
Intangible assets increased from $58,386 at June 30, 2025 to $196,593 at June 30, 2026, reflecting additions of $161,190 and software of $6,312 acquired with the Mirragin group, less amortization of $30,225, together with exchange differences of $930. Pending completion of the purchase price allocations, no intangible assets other than that software have been recognized separately from goodwill on the acquisitions completed on February 12, 2026. The value of the technology, intellectual property and customer relationships of the businesses acquired is carried within goodwill until the purchase price allocations are completed; they are described at Item 4.B.
D. Trend Information
The Group’s results for fiscal 2026 include the acquired businesses only from February 12, 2026. Fiscal 2026 is therefore not comparable with fiscal 2025 or fiscal 2024 and does not represent a full year of the Group as presently constituted. The first full year of contribution from the acquired businesses will be fiscal 2027.
The most significant trends and uncertainties known to management are the conversion of the order book and pipeline described at Item 4.B and of the remaining performance obligations disclosed in the financial statements; continued demand for network infrastructure, systems integration, managed services and unmanned systems in the Group’s principal markets; the requirement to refinance, repay or extend the promissory notes maturing in February and March 2027; the cost of operating as a listed company; and movements in the nine currencies in which the Group operates.
The business developments announced during May and June 2026 are described at Item 4.B, “Recent Developments.” Since June 30, 2026 the Company has launched ARIA and entered into the Muval partnership, each described at Item 4.B, “Recent Developments.” There have been no other material developments or known trends since June 30, 2026.
Industry trends in the Group’s principal markets are, in management’s view, favorable to its network infrastructure, systems integration and unmanned systems activities, although there is no assurance that the Group will benefit from them:
Enterprise technology spending. Gartner forecasts information technology spending in India of $176.3 billion in 2026, an increase of 10.6 percent on 2025, with spending on data center systems forecast to grow by 20.5 percent and on information technology services by 11.1 percent. Worldwide, Gartner forecasts information technology spending of $6.31 trillion in 2026, an increase of 13.5 percent, led by data center systems. The VIS businesses, which operate in these markets, earned 83 percent of Group revenue in fiscal 2026.
Defense and government demand for uncrewed and autonomous systems. The Australian Government’s 2026 National Defence Strategy and Integrated Investment Program, released in April 2026, provide for investment of A$12 billion to A$15 billion in uncrewed and autonomous systems over the decade to 2035–36, and prioritize counter-uncrewed air systems and resilient satellite communications. That program is relevant to the defense and government work of Mirragin and Nisus and to Vega’s technology portfolio. The Group has no contract under it.
Commercial drones. Fortune Business Insights estimates the global drone market at $91.9 billion in 2025, growing to $210.3 billion by 2034 at a compound annual rate of 9.6 percent, and the agricultural drone market at $4.4 billion in 2025, growing to $18.0 billion by 2034.
The share-based payment charge of $14,313,666 on the adviser awards for the listing and the acquisitions, and the professional costs of those transactions, recognized in fiscal 2026 are not expected to recur at that scale. This does not apply to share-based compensation generally: the Company has committed to equity awards to directors and officers and expects to make further awards under an equity incentive plan.

E. Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. The estimates and judgements with the most significant effect on the amounts recognized are set out below and at Note 4 to the financial statements.
There were no material changes in critical accounting estimates during fiscal 2026. The estimates set out below relating to the acquisitions, the measurement of ordinary shares issued at $10.17 per share, goodwill impairment and deferred tax arose for the first time in fiscal 2026 as a result of the acquisitions completed on February 12, 2026. The provisional amounts recognized for the acquisitions may be adjusted retrospectively within the twelve-month measurement period permitted by IFRS 3 when the purchase price allocations are completed, as described below and at Note 37 to the financial statements.
Accounting for the acquisitions completed on February 12, 2026. The identification of the accounting acquirer, the measurement of the ordinary shares issued as consideration at $10.17 per share, the attribution of the remaining 20.30 percent of the VIS businesses to the owners of the parent rather than to non-controlling interests, the measurement of non-controlling interests at their proportionate share of the identifiable net assets of the acquirees, and the attribution, for financial reporting purposes, of the value of the ordinary shares subscribed for by shareholders of VIS Networks Private Limited to the consideration for the VIS group. Those 4,382,603 ordinary shares (13,147,809 ordinary shares after the 3:1 subdivision effected on April 28, 2026) were issued on February 12, 2026 under a subscription agreement. Measured at $10.17 per share they transferred value of $44,564,937. The subscription was open only to shareholders of the acquiree (IFRS 3.B50(a)), was conditional on the same registration as the acquisition and was completed on the acquisition date (IFRS 3.B50(c)); the shares vested on issue and their release from lock-up does not depend on continued employment (IFRS 3.B55(a)). The value is therefore attributed to the exchange for the VIS group (IFRS 3.37 and IFRS 3.51–52), and is not treated as remuneration for post-combination services (IFRS 3.B54–B55) or as a distribution. The acquisitions have been accounted for provisionally. The purchase price allocations had not been finalized at the date the financial statements were authorized for issue. The identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at provisional amounts, being management’s best estimate of their fair values at February 12, 2026 on the information available. Those amounts start from the balance sheet of each acquired entity at February 12, 2026 and are adjusted where that information showed that fair value differed from carrying amount; the remaining assets and liabilities, principally monetary items, are recognized at their carrying amounts. No intangible assets have been recognized separately from goodwill other than software of $6,312 of the Mirragin group. On completion, any intangible assets identified will be recognized separately from goodwill, together with the related deferred tax, and amortized from the acquisition date, which will increase the depreciation and amortization charge for fiscal 2026 and subsequent years.
Impairment of goodwill. Goodwill of $228,990,580 at June 30, 2026 was tested for impairment on a fair value less costs of disposal basis, by reference to the prices paid in the arm’s-length acquisitions of February 12, 2026 together with the non-controlling interests at that date, rolled forward to June 30, 2026 for the time value of money at the U.S. dollar risk-free rate of 4.7% per annum, less costs of disposal estimated from the acquisition-related costs incurred on the acquisitions, of 1.03% for the VIS group, 0.27% for Vega and 0.23% for Connect Simple. The recoverable amount exceeded the carrying amount by $1,684,804 for the VIS group, $154,166 for Vega and $1,379,748 for Connect Simple. A reduction in fair value of 2.6%, 0.2% and 1.4% respectively would, in isolation, cause the recoverable amount to equal the carrying amount. The goodwill of the VIS group was tested at the level of the VIS group, which is the VIS operating segment and the level at which that goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. See Notes 6 and 26 to the financial statements.
Fair value of ordinary shares issued at $10.17 per share. The charge has been measured at $10.17 per share, the price at which the Company last raised funds, being the price at which an unrelated investor subscribed for shares for cash on February 11, 2026. The same price is used for all ordinary shares issued on February 11 and 12, 2026, as consideration for the acquisitions, under the subscription agreement and for services; the Company’s shares had no quoted price before their admission to The Nasdaq Global Market on February 12, 2026. The consideration shares and the subscription shares are subject to lock-up arrangements of up to twenty-four months. The lock-ups are contractual undertakings by the holders that would not pass to a market participant acquiring the shares, so no discount for lack of marketability has been applied. A price 10 percent lower would have reduced the consideration transferred and goodwill by $22,500,165 and the amounts recognized for services settled in shares by $1,482,338.
Recoverability of deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent it is probable that future taxable profits will be available; IFRS does not use a valuation allowance. At June 30, 2026 the Group recognized deferred tax assets of $1,306,713, all in the VIS entities, comprising tax losses of VIS Networks Private Limited of $622,848 and deductible temporary differences, principally on the loss allowance on trade receivables of $580,369. Of the total, $764,224 was held by those entities at the acquisition date. The principal positive evidence is the history of taxable profits of VIS Networks Private Limited and the forecast profitability of the VIS businesses; the principal negative evidence is the tax losses incurred in fiscal 2026. Deferred tax assets have not been recognized on Australian unused tax losses of $5,614,050 and deductible temporary differences of $2,286,397, because the Australian entities have a history of losses and it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which they can be used. See Note 12 to the financial statements.
Revenue recognized over time, including the measurement of progress and the identification of performance obligations in multi-element arrangements.
Lease term and the incremental borrowing rate applied in measuring lease liabilities.
Classification of the promissory notes and the SAFE instruments as liabilities or equity, and their subsequent measurement.
Going concern, which is addressed at Note 2.5 to the financial statements and at Item 5.B.
Identification of cash-generating units and the assumptions used in measuring their fair value less costs of disposal for impairment testing, including the prices paid in the acquisitions, their roll-forward to the reporting date and the costs of disposal.
Accounting standards issued but not yet effective. IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027 and will apply to the Group from the year ending June 30, 2028. It will reorganize the statement of profit or loss into operating, investing and financing categories with required subtotals, require disclosure of management-defined performance measures with a reconciliation to the most comparable IFRS subtotal, and require further disaggregation of administrative and other expenses and of other financial liabilities. It will not change the amounts recognized, net assets or cash flows. The Group is assessing whether the contingent features of its promissory notes fall within the amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. IFRS 19 will not affect the consolidated financial statements. No other standard issued but not yet effective is expected to have a material effect. See Note 3 to the financial statements.

Changes to the Board during the year
The composition of the Board changed on February 12, 2026, being the date on which the Company’s ordinary shares commenced trading on the Nasdaq Global Market. On that date the three independent directors were appointed and Mr Stephenson and Mr Jhamb ceased to hold office as directors. Neither ceased to be an officer: Mr Stephenson has served as Chief Financial Officer since July 2022 and Mr Jhamb as Chief Business Officer since July 2025, and each continues in that office.

The Board considers that his expertise in fundraising and in building and scaling technology enterprises are the particular qualifications and skills that led it to conclude that he should serve as a director.
Ragur Kuppuswamy Padmanabhan — Independent Non-Executive Director
Mr Padmanabhan, 66, has served as Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of Maidee Agro and Infrastructure Private Limited since November 2020. He has been a Founder and Director of the Sustainable and Vedic Agriculture Network Foundation since January 20, 2024, and an Additional Director of Novo Epay India Private Limited since July 22, 2025.

During that period he was involved in regulatory reforms relating to initial public offerings, insider trading and forensic audits, oversaw the integration of commodities intermediaries following the merger of the Forward Markets Commission with SEBI, and represented SEBI on committees of the International Organization of Securities Commissions.

Before joining SEBI he held senior policing positions with the Government of Maharashtra, including Additional Director General of Police (Traffic) for the State of Maharashtra from 2016 to 2018, Commissioner of Police for Pimpri–Chinchwad from 2018 to 2019, and Additional Commissioner of Police (South Region), Mumbai from 2008 to 2010.

The Board considers that Mr Padmanabhan’s service as an officer of the Indian Police Service from 1991 to 2019, and the administrative and executive positions he held during that service, together with his experience of financial regulation at the Securities and Exchange Board of India, are the particular qualifications and skills that led it to conclude that he should serve as a director.
Mr Padmanabhan holds a Bachelor of Science from the University of Madras and a Postgraduate Diploma in Mass Communication from the Indian Institute of Mass Communication, New Delhi. Other than the positions noted above, he has held no directorships in publicly held companies within the past five years.

The Board considers that Dr Murphy’s experience of strategic growth initiatives and the expansion of services in a multi-site organization, her Master of Business Administration from Harvard Business School with a focus on operations, her experience of technology optimization and the integration of artificial intelligence for revenue growth, and her proficiency in operational budgeting, capital equipment purchasing and contract negotiation, are the particular qualifications and skills that led it to conclude that she should serve as a director.
Dr Murphy received her Doctor of Medicine from Temple University School of Medicine and a Master of Business Administration from Harvard Business School. Her postgraduate training includes a Diagnostic Radiology Residency at Beth Israel Medical Center and a Musculoskeletal Imaging Fellowship at Maimonides Medical Center.

Over his career he has executed transactions exceeding $1.25 billion, including a number above $175 million, spanning private equity investments and exits, strategic acquisitions and debt raises.
Family Relationships
Ms Roni Laserson, Head of Investor Relations, is the spouse of Mr Natraj Balasubramanian, the Chief Executive Officer and a director. Her employment is described at Item 7.B. Other than that relationship, there are no family relationships among any of Braiin’s directors, executive officers or senior management. There is no arrangement or understanding with major shareholders, customers, suppliers or others under which any director or member of senior management was selected.
B. Compensation
As a foreign private issuer the Company is permitted to disclose compensation of directors and senior management on an aggregate basis, unless individual disclosure is required in its home jurisdiction or is otherwise publicly disclosed by the Company. The Company is not listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and the remuneration report requirements of section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) do not apply to it. Compensation is accordingly disclosed on an aggregate basis.
| Page 46 |

Mr Saligrama and Mr Jhamb have each elected to receive a base salary of $1 per year. Mr Stephenson received no remuneration from the Group between July 1, 2025 and February 11, 2026 and was remunerated from February 12, 2026 under the employment letter described above.
The employment letter of Mr Balasubramanian is effective April 7, 2026 and was executed on April 8, 2026. In addition to base salary and the restricted stock unit award it provides for a one-time transaction-related success fee of $850,000 in recognition of his role in the direct listing, the acquisitions, the raising of approximately $24 million of debt and equity financing and related corporate activity. The timing and mechanics of payment are determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee, which may defer payment of all or part of the fee for up to eighteen months following the effective date and may pay it in installments having regard to the Company’s cash flow and financial condition. The letter also provides that the Company and Mr Balasubramanian will discuss in good faith, within four weeks of the effective date, whether to implement further compensation or benefit arrangements. Those discussions, and the timing and mechanics of payment of the success fee, have been deferred to be determined at a later date. At the date of this annual report no further compensation or benefit arrangements had been agreed or implemented, and no part of the success fee had been paid.
The three independent directors are each entitled to $250,000 in equity, giving an aggregate director equity award of $750,000. Together with the restricted stock unit awards described above, the aggregate equity committed by the Company but not yet granted at the date of this annual report is $5,150,000. None receives a cash fee. Their letters of appointment are dated April 7, 2026 (Dr Murphy and Mr Buehler) and April 8, 2026 (Mr Padmanabhan), and were countersigned on April 7, April 8 and April 15, 2026, respectively.

The figures above are the key management personnel compensation at Note 43 of the financial statements (2024: $97,033). In the comparative years Mr Balasubramanian was paid by the Group under contract and Mr Stephenson was paid as a contractor.
Pension, retirement and similar benefits
The Group contributes to statutory superannuation and equivalent arrangements in the jurisdictions in which it operates. The total amount set aside or accrued by the Group to provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for directors and senior management during the year was $12,130, being Australian superannuation guarantee contributions.
Service contracts
Mr Balasubramanian is employed at will under an employment letter governed by the law of the State of New York. On termination by the Company without Cause, other than for death or disability, he is entitled to accrued but unpaid base salary, reimbursement of unreimbursed business expenses and continued payment of his then-current base salary for twelve months following termination, subject to execution and non-revocation of a release of claims. He is subject to non-solicitation and non-competition restrictions for twelve months following termination and assigns to the Company all work product and intellectual property created in connection with his employment.
Mr Stephenson and Mr Pandey are each employed at will and are each entitled, on termination by the Company without Cause other than for death or disability, to accrued but unpaid base salary, reimbursement of unreimbursed business expenses and continued payment of base salary for six months following termination, subject to execution and non-revocation of a release of claims. Mr Stephenson is additionally entitled to accrued but unused annual leave as required under Australian law. “Cause” is defined in each agreement as fraud, dishonesty, wilful misconduct, material breach of Company policy or of the agreement, conviction of a felony, or material failure to perform duties following written notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure.
The letters of appointment of the independent directors provide for service at will until resignation or removal and contain no termination benefit. The treatment of any equity award on termination of board service is governed by the terms of the equity incentive plan and the applicable award agreement.
Mr Saligrama and Mr Jhamb do not have service agreements with the Company or any of its subsidiaries and are not entitled to any benefit on the termination of their employment.

C. Board Practices
Terms of office
The directors do not have fixed terms of office. Directors may be elected at each annual general meeting and, subject to any express contractual terms applicable to executive directors, serve until they retire, their office is automatically vacated, or they are removed by ordinary resolution of shareholders. A director’s office is automatically vacated if the director, among other things, ceases to be a director by virtue of the Corporations Act, becomes bankrupt or insolvent, becomes prohibited from being a director by reason of an order made under the Corporations Act, becomes of unsound mind, resigns by notice in writing to the Company, is removed by shareholders, or is absent for more than six months without the permission of the directors from meetings of the directors held during that period. Under clause 14.2 of the Company’s constitution, at each annual general meeting one-third of the directors, or if their number is not a multiple of three the number nearest to one-third (rounded upwards), retire by rotation and are eligible for re-election. The directors to retire are those who have been longest in office since their last election and, as between persons who became directors on the same day, those to retire are determined by lot. No director, other than a managing director, may hold office for more than three years, or beyond the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is longer, without submitting for re-election. A managing director does not retire by rotation (clause 18.4), but if more than one managing director has been appointed, only one, nominated by the directors, is excluded from retirement by rotation. A director appointed by the Board to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the Board holds office only until the next annual general meeting and is then eligible for election (clause 14.4). The period during which each director has served is set out at Item 6.A.
Board composition and independence
The Board comprises five directors, of whom three are independent: Mr Padmanabhan, Dr Murphy and Mr Buehler. Mr Balasubramanian and Mr Saligrama hold executive office and are not independent. Each of the independent directors satisfies the requirements for an independent director within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing rules and the independence criteria in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.
The Company is incorporated under the laws of Australia. Its governing documents consist of its constitution, and it has implemented a corporate governance framework that the Company developed by reference to the practices of companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. The framework is not based on the guidelines of any particular body.
The Company is a “foreign private issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933. As a foreign private issuer, the Company is permitted to follow Australian corporate governance practice (“home country practice”) in lieu of certain corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq listing rules, including the following:
| ● | The Company relies on an exemption from the Nasdaq requirement that independent directors meet regularly in executive sessions. The Corporations Act does not require the independent directors of an Australian company to hold such executive sessions. |
| ● | The Company relies on an exemption from the Nasdaq requirement to disclose third-party director and director nominee compensation. The Corporations Act does not have a similar requirement. |
| ● | The Company follows home country practice in lieu of the Nasdaq requirement to obtain shareholder approval for certain issuances of securities, including issuances of 20% or more of its outstanding ordinary shares and the establishment or material amendment of equity compensation arrangements. Under the Corporations Act and the Company’s constitution, the Board may issue shares without shareholder approval. |
| ● | The Company follows home country practice in lieu of the Nasdaq requirements relating to the composition and charter of the compensation committee. The Corporations Act does not require an Australian company to maintain a compensation committee or prescribe its composition or charter. |
The Company is also a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing rules because Mr Balasubramanian, its founder and Chief Executive Officer, controls approximately 59.52% of the Company’s combined voting power. As a controlled company, the Company is permitted to elect not to comply with certain Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, including the requirements that a majority of the Board be independent and that the compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees be composed entirely of independent directors. Although the Company qualifies for these exemptions, it does not currently intend to rely on them.

Committees
| Committee | Chair | Members | Meetings held in FY2026 | |||
| Audit | Stephen Christopher Buehler | Mr Buehler, Dr Murphy, Mr Padmanabhan | 1 | |||
| Compensation | Dr Usha Chundru Murphy | Dr Murphy, Mr Padmanabhan | 1 | |||
| Nominating and Corporate Governance | Ragur Kuppuswamy Padmanabhan | Mr Padmanabhan, Dr Murphy, Mr Buehler | – |
As a foreign private issuer, under the listing requirements and rules of Nasdaq, the Company is not required to have independent directors on its Board, except that its audit committee is required to consist fully of independent directors, subject to certain phase-in schedules.
In light of the Company’s size and nature, the Board considers that its current size is a cost-effective and practical method of directing and managing the Company. As the Company’s activities develop in size, nature and scope, the size of the Board, the formation of Board committees and the implementation of additional corporate governance policies and structures will be reviewed.
The audit committee oversees the Company’s accounting and financial reporting processes. Its responsibilities include appointing, retaining and determining the compensation of the independent auditors; approving audit services and pre-approving permitted non-audit services; discussing the scope and plan of the audit; reviewing at least annually the qualifications, performance and independence of the auditors; reviewing the auditors’ reports on critical accounting policies and practices and all other material written communications with management; resolving disagreements between management and the auditors on financial controls or financial reporting; reviewing and recommending all related party transactions to the Board, and reviewing and approving all changes to the Company’s related party transactions policy; reviewing the annual audited financial statements and the design, implementation, adequacy and effectiveness of internal controls; overseeing risks associated with financial matters; and establishing procedures for the receipt and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting controls and audit matters, including confidential anonymous submission by employees.
The audit committee charter also provides for the committee to oversee an internal audit function, including its appraisal, the appointment of its head and quarterly meetings with that person. The Company has not established an internal audit function, and those provisions of the charter will apply once one is established.
The compensation committee operates under a written charter and oversees the compensation of the Company’s executive officers and directors. It makes recommendations to the Board on the Company’s policy on executive compensation, determines the individual remuneration and benefits package of each executive director, and recommends and monitors the remuneration of senior management below board level as the Board directs.
The nominating and corporate governance committee operates under a written charter and oversees the nomination of the Company’s directors.
The Board expects to hold Board and Audit Committee meetings generally four times per year, with additional interim teleconference updates on an as-needed basis. The Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meet as often as necessary to discharge their responsibilities under their respective charters. Actions of the Board and of each committee may also be approved by written consent where permitted by applicable law and the Company’s governing documents.
All three committees have been established. The memberships above are confirmed by the letters of appointment of the three independent directors, each of which records that director’s committee roles, and the three letters are mutually consistent: Mr Buehler chairs the Audit Committee and sits on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee; Dr Murphy chairs the Compensation Committee and sits on the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee; and Mr Padmanabhan chairs the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and sits on the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee.
| Page 50 |
Audit committee financial expert
The Board has determined that Stephen Christopher Buehler qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 16A of Form 20-F and is independent within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing rules.
Mr Buehler is Chair of the Audit Committee. Each member of the Audit Committee is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, as required by Nasdaq Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), and Mr Buehler has the financial sophistication described in that rule.
Indemnification and insurance
The Company has entered into an indemnification agreement with each director and officer, and each letter of appointment and employment letter provides for indemnification and for directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. Under those arrangements the Company indemnifies each director and officer against liabilities incurred in that capacity, and advances expenses, to the extent permitted by law.
Section 199A of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) prohibits a company from indemnifying a person against a liability owed to the company or a related body corporate, a liability for a pecuniary penalty order or a compensation order, or a liability owed to a third party that did not arise out of conduct in good faith. It also prohibits indemnity for legal costs in defending proceedings in which the person is found liable, in criminal proceedings in which the person is found guilty, or in proceedings brought by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission or a liquidator in which the court finds the person liable. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted, the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed the view that such indemnification is against public policy and is therefore unenforceable.
In order to foster a climate of openness and honesty in which any concern or complaint pertaining to a suspected violation of the law, the Company’s code of conduct or any of its policies, or any unethical or questionable act or behavior, can be raised, the Board has adopted a whistleblower policy that requires the Company’s employees to promptly report any such violation or suspected violation. To ensure that violations or suspected violations can be reported without fear of retaliation, harassment or an adverse employment consequence, the whistleblower policy contains procedures intended to facilitate confidential, anonymous submissions by employees.
D. Employees
The following table sets out the number of employees and of consultants and contractors of the Group at the end of each of the last three financial years, and the total of the two by geography.

The Group has no employees represented by a labor union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Relations with employees are considered good.
The increase in the number of employees and contractors in fiscal 2026 reflects the acquisitions completed on February 12, 2026. At June 30, 2026 the acquired businesses accounted for 713 employees outside Australia, principally in India, and 9 employees and 44 contractors in Australia. The Group does not employ a significant number of temporary employees.

E. Share Ownership
The following table sets out the beneficial ownership of ordinary shares by each director and member of senior management as at the date of this annual report.

| Samir Pandey | – | – | – | |||||||||
| All directors and senior management as a group | 152,756,092 | 74.12 | % | – | ||||||||
Percentages are calculated on 206,088,228 ordinary shares on issue. Share numbers are stated after the 4:1 subdivision effected on November 10, 2025 and the 3:1 subdivision effected on April 28, 2026.
Equity incentive plan
The letters of appointment of the independent directors and the employment letters of Mr Stephenson and Mr Pandey each refer to awards being made under “the Company’s equity incentive plan, as may be adopted and amended from time to time”, and Mr Stephenson’s restricted stock unit award is expressed to be subject to approval by the Board or the Compensation Committee.
No equity incentive plan has been adopted at the date of this annual report. Accordingly, no equity award referred to above has been granted or issued, and no ordinary shares are subject to any option or other right at June 30, 2026.
The Company expects to adopt an equity incentive plan under which awards may be made to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Group. Under the expected terms of the plan, awards may take the form of options, restricted share units, restricted shares or share appreciation rights. The maximum number of shares available for issue is 20,600,000 ordinary shares, increasing on July 1 of each year from 2027 to 2035 by the lesser of 5% of the ordinary shares then on issue and a smaller number determined by the Board. Awards to employees and officers will generally vest as to 25% after one year and quarterly over the following three years, and awards to non-executive directors after one year, subject to any performance conditions set by the Board. On cessation of employment, good leavers retain a pro rata portion of unvested awards, while unvested awards are forfeited on resignation or termination for cause. On a change of control, awards may be assumed or replaced by the acquirer, and vest in full if they are not assumed or if the participant’s employment is terminated without cause within 12 months after the change of control. Options and share appreciation rights have a maximum term of ten years, and the plan has a term of ten years. Awards are subject to the Company’s compensation recovery policy. The plan will be administered by the Board or the Compensation Committee. The awards agreed with directors and officers described above will be granted under the plan once it is adopted.
The Company has committed to equity awards of $750,000 in aggregate to the three independent directors, and expects to grant restricted stock unit awards with aggregate grant date fair values of $3,000,000 to Mr Balasubramanian, $1,100,000 to Mr Stephenson and $300,000 to Ms Roni Laserson, the Group’s Head of Investor Relations (see Item 7.B(e)), in each case once a plan is adopted. The total equity committed but not granted is $5,150,000.

| (1) | Of Mr Saligrama’s 29,204,496 ordinary shares, 16,224,234 are held by Advaitha Pty Ltd, an entity associated with him, and 12,980,262 are held by him personally. |
Changes in major shareholdings during the past three years
Immediately before completion of the acquisitions in February 2026, 134,616,087 ordinary shares were on issue, of which Mr Balasubramanian held 122,673,060, or approximately 91.1%, and Mr Saligrama beneficially held 884,976, or approximately 0.7%, issued to Advaitha Pty Ltd in a placement on September 1, 2025. Share numbers are stated after the 3:1 subdivision effected on April 28, 2026.
In February 2026, in connection with the acquisitions and the admission of the Company’s ordinary shares to trading on The Nasdaq Global Market, the Company issued 71,472,141 ordinary shares, comprising:
| ● | 28,909,875 ordinary shares on completion of the acquisition of Connect Simple Pty Ltd, of which 15,339,258 were issued to Advaitha Pty Ltd, 12,980,262 to Mr Saligrama personally and 589,749 to Gomazz Pty Ltd as trustee for the Georgiou Family Trust. The remaining 606 shares (202 before the subdivision) arose from rounding in the allocation of the consideration shares among the vendors and have since been allocated to a shareholder that is not related to the vendors; |
| Page 53 |
| ● | 13,147,809 ordinary shares issued on February 12, 2026 to certain shareholders of VIS Networks Private Limited under a subscription agreement dated February 6, 2026; and |
| ● | 29,414,457 other ordinary shares, including ordinary shares issued to the vendors of Vega Global Technologies Pty Ltd and to advisers for services. |
As a result, Mr Balasubramanian’s percentage ownership decreased from approximately 91.1% to 59.52%, and Mr Saligrama’s beneficial ownership increased from approximately 0.7% to 29,204,496 ordinary shares, or 14.17%. Other than as described above, there were no significant changes in the percentage ownership held by the Company’s major shareholders during the past three years.
Voting rights
The Company has a single class of ordinary shares and each ordinary share carries one vote. No major shareholder has voting rights different from those attaching to any other ordinary share.
Record holders in the United States
As of June 30, 2026, there were 543 holders of record of the Company’s ordinary shares, of which 4 were resident in the United States. Those holders held 137,815,742 ordinary shares, or approximately 66.8% of the ordinary shares outstanding, including the ordinary shares held by Mr Balasubramanian. One of those holders is Cede & Co., the nominee of The Depository Trust Company, which held 11,051,748 ordinary shares on behalf of beneficial owners whose shares are held in street name. Because many of those shares are held by brokers or other nominees, the number of record holders in the United States is not representative of the number of beneficial holders or of where they reside.
Control
Mr Balasubramanian holds approximately 59.52% of the voting power of the Company and is accordingly able to determine the outcome of all matters requiring shareholder approval. The Company is a controlled company within the meaning of the Nasdaq corporate governance rules. The Company is not aware of any arrangement the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control.
B. Related Party Transactions
The following transactions with related parties occurred during the year ended June 30, 2026. Each was reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors, with Mr Saligrama recused from the deliberations and from voting on each transaction in which he was interested.
(a) Placement to Advaitha Pty Ltd — September 1, 2025
On September 1, 2025 the Company issued 73,748 ordinary shares to Advaitha Pty Ltd as trustee for the Advaitha Family Trust for A$4,509,999, being $3,000,069. Advaitha is a vehicle of the Saligrama Family Trust, the family trust of Mr Saligrama. The shares are 884,976 shares after the two subsequent subdivisions.
(b) Connect Simple restructuring and acquisition
On December 8, 2025 the Company entered into a Share Sale Agreement with Gomazz Pty Ltd as trustee for the Georgiou Family Trust, then the sole shareholder of Connect Simple Pty Ltd, to acquire 100% of the issued shares of Connect Simple.
Between execution of that agreement and settlement, a scrip-for-scrip restructure was implemented under Subdivision 124-M of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth). On January 28, 2026, under two roll-over agreements, Mr Saligrama transferred all of the issued shares in Connect Easy Ltd (United Kingdom company number 16514078) to Connect Simple in exchange for 2,200 newly issued ordinary shares in Connect Simple, and Advaitha transferred all of the issued shares in ConnectEasy Inc (United States, number 10198866) to Connect Simple in exchange for 2,600 newly issued ordinary shares in Connect Simple.

Following the restructure the register of Connect Simple was:
| Shareholder | Shares | % | Relationship | |||||||
| Advaitha Pty Ltd ATF Advaitha Family Trust | 2,600 | 53.06 | % | Saligrama Family Trust vehicle | ||||||
| Mr Viswanatha Chetan Saligrama personally | 2,200 | 44.90 | % | Director and officer | ||||||
| Gomazz Pty Ltd ATF Georgiou Family Trust | 100 | 2.04 | % | Entity associated with Chris Georgiou, Director of Connect Simple Pty Ltd | ||||||
| Total | 4,900 | 100.00 | % | |||||||
On settlement of the Connect Simple share sale agreement on February 12, 2026, 9,636,625 fully paid ordinary shares of the Company (28,909,875 ordinary shares after the 3:1 subdivision effected on April 28, 2026) were issued at the agreed reference price of $10.17 per share. Of those, 9,636,423 were issued in accordance with the post-restructure ownership, approximately 53.06% to Advaitha, 44.90% to Mr Saligrama personally and 2.04% to Gomazz, and the remaining 202 arose from rounding in that allocation and have since been allocated to a shareholder that is not related to the vendors. The consideration shares are subject to a twelve-month lock-up from the date of issue.
Following the restructure and immediately before settlement Mr Saligrama was the beneficial owner, directly and through Advaitha, of approximately 97.96% of Connect Simple. The restructure is accordingly a related party transaction within the meaning of Item 7.B.
(c) Note Purchase Agreement with Advaitha Pty Ltd
On March 11, 2025 the Company entered into a binding term sheet with TWCC VIC Pty Limited, an entity of the Saligrama Family Trust, for a secured non-convertible debenture facility of up to $14.4 million. On February 11, 2026, in substitution for that term sheet, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with Advaitha. The principal terms are:
| Term | Position | |
| Lender | Advaitha Pty Ltd as trustee for the Advaitha Family Trust | |
| Effective date | February 11, 2026 | |
| Principal | $12,000,000, inclusive of original issue discount and transaction expense amount | |

| Use of proceeds | To fund the cash component of the VIS Networks acquisition and to refinance commercial property indebtedness of VIS Networks | |
| Security | First-priority security interests over the assets of the Company, Raptor300 Inc, Braiin LLC, Connect Simple Pty Ltd and VIS Networks Private Limited; the intellectual property of those entities under an Intellectual Property Security Agreement; a pledge of equity interests in specified subsidiaries; and a guaranty from the subsidiaries | |
| Coupon | Approximately 14% per annum | |
| Tenor | Twelve months from Month 1 (March 2026), with principal amortization commencing in Month 10 |
(d) Deed of Variation and Set-Off
On March 12, 2026 the Company, Advaitha and Mr Saligrama as trustee for the Saligrama Family Trust entered into a Deed of Variation and Set-Off which:
| ● | removed the make-whole and non-circumvention provisions of the Note and all early repayment penalties, allowing prepayment in whole or in part at any time without premium, penalty or break cost; |
| ● | capitalized a further advance of $200,000 from the Saligrama Family Trust into the principal, bringing the revised principal to $12,200,000; |
| Page 55 |
| ● | replaced the repayment schedule with a Month 1 principal reduction of $2,600,000, monthly interest of $115,200 from Month 2, and amortization of the remaining $9,600,000 in Months 10 to 12, with total interest over the term of $1,267,200; |
| ● | tightened the trigger thresholds, reducing the major trigger from 25% to 20% and the minor trigger from 10% to 5%; and |
| ● | set off the $200,000 additional amount and an A$50,000 director’s loan against the $322,524.59 then outstanding under a separate promissory note dated March 20, 2025 issued by Braiin LLC to the Saligrama Family Trust and guaranteed by the Company, leaving a net $122,524.59 plus A$50,000 payable on or before March 31, 2026 in full and final satisfaction of that promissory note. |
(e) Employment of Ms Roni Laserson
Ms Roni Laserson, the spouse of Mr Balasubramanian, is employed by the Group as Head of Investor Relations under an offer letter effective and executed on April 1, 2026. She reports to the Chief Operating Officer and not to the Chief Executive Officer. Her terms were approved and the letter was signed on behalf of the Company by Dr Usha Chundru Murphy in her capacity as Chair of the Compensation Committee and as an independent director.
Her annual base salary is $370,000. Note 42 of the financial statements records her remuneration for the year as $103,562, against $91,233 of base salary apportioned from April 1, 2026 on a daily basis; the difference of $12,329 is the portion of the sign-on bonus recognized in the year. She received a sign-on bonus of $50,000 payable within thirty days of the effective date and repayable in full if she ceases employment before April 1, 2027. She is not eligible for an annual cash bonus for fiscal 2026. The Company expects to grant her restricted stock units with an aggregate grant date fair value of $300,000, vesting 25% on the first anniversary of grant and the remainder in equal quarterly installments over the following three years, subject to approval by the Board or the Compensation Committee. On termination by the Company without Cause she is entitled to six months’ base salary. Her total target annual compensation opportunity is stated in the letter as approximately $670,000.
(f) Other related party transactions
The following further transactions with related parties occurred during the year, as recorded at Note 42 of the financial statements.
Interest of $345,600 was paid to Advaitha Pty Ltd. The carrying amount of the Advaitha Note Purchase Agreement at June 30, 2026 was $9,780,990. The promissory note dated March 20, 2025 was issued by Braiin LLC to the Saligrama Family Trust for an advance of $243,000 and was guaranteed by the Company. It was repayable at 120 percent of the amount advanced on June 1, 2025 or, if earlier, on completion of the Company’s proposed business combination, and amounts unpaid bore interest at 1 percent per month from July 1, 2025 and at 1.5 percent per month from July 30, 2025. It was unsecured. The largest amount outstanding under the note during the period from July 1, 2025 to the latest practicable date was $322,524.59, and it was satisfied in full on March 13, 2026 by the set-off and payment described under “(d) Deed of Variation and Set-Off” above, after which no amount remained outstanding. The A$50,000 director’s loan from Mr Saligrama was interest-free and was repaid on March 13, 2026. No amount was paid during the year to Forest House Pty Ltd, an entity associated with Mr Stephenson, which was paid $45,000 in the year ended June 30, 2025. Mr Stephenson served as Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary throughout the year and received no remuneration for the period from July 1, 2025 to February 11, 2026. Between May 22, 2025 and June 30, 2026, Mirragin RAS Consulting Pty Ltd, which became a subsidiary of the Company on February 12, 2026, made advances to RELMS Business Services Pty Ltd and its subsidiary Defining Films Pty Ltd, entities associated with Mr Rob Sutton, a vendor of the Vega group and an officer of its subsidiaries, in contemplation of a proposed acquisition of Defining Films Pty Ltd that the Company has since decided not to pursue. The advances bore no interest before April 1, 2026 and from that date bear interest at the higher of 8.27 percent per annum and the benchmark rate published by the Australian Taxation Office for fringe benefits tax purposes. A$325,881 was outstanding at June 30, 2026. Under a Deed of Acknowledgment of Debt dated October 15, 2026, the borrowers acknowledged A$326,152.36 as owing, comprising advances of A$311,986.81 and accrued interest of A$14,165.55, repayable by June 30, 2028 and secured over 1,012,029 ordinary shares of the Company held by RELMS Consolidated Pty Ltd as trustee of the Sutton Family Trust. Other than those advances, no loans or guarantees were made by the Company or its subsidiaries to or for the benefit of any related party during the period from July 1, 2025 to the latest practicable date.

Approval
Each related party transaction described above was reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors, with Mr Saligrama recused from the deliberations and from voting on each such transaction. Under its charter the audit committee reviews and recommends all related party transactions to the Board for approval.
Policies and procedures for related party transactions
Under its charter the audit committee reviews and approves, or ratifies, transactions between the Group and a related party. In considering a transaction the committee has regard to the terms of the transaction, whether those terms are no less favorable to the Group than could be obtained from an unrelated party, the extent of the related party’s interest, and the purpose and benefit of the transaction to the Group.
A director who has a material personal interest in a matter must give notice of that interest under section 191 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and, unless the Act or the constitution permits otherwise, must not be present while the matter is considered by the Board or vote on it. The Company’s code of conduct addresses conflicts of interest and requires them to be disclosed.
Other than as described below, no material related party transactions have occurred, and none is presently proposed, in the period from July 1, 2026 to October 30, 2026, the latest practicable date. On November 3, 2026 the Company entered into a Deed of Extension with Advaitha Pty Ltd extending the maturity of the $9,600,000 of principal outstanding under the Advaitha Note Purchase Agreement by twelve months to February 11, 2028, with interest of $115,200 a month (14.4% per annum) and the principal repayable in three monthly instalments from December 11, 2027 to February 11, 2028, and a secured promissory note under which Advaitha Pty Ltd is to advance a further $10,200,000 to the Company on February 1, 2027, secured on the same terms as the Advaitha Note Purchase Agreement and bearing interest at 14.4% per annum, with the principal and accrued interest repayable on February 1, 2028, under which no amount had been drawn at the latest practicable date. The largest amount outstanding under the Advaitha Note Purchase Agreement during the period from July 1, 2025 to the latest practicable date was $12,200,000, and the amount outstanding at the latest practicable date was $9,600,000. The net amount of $122,524.59 and A$50,000 payable to the Saligrama Family Trust under the Deed of Variation and Set-Off was paid on March 13, 2026. Transactions with the Connect Simple vendors before the acquisition are described because Mr Saligrama was a director and officer of the Company when they were entered into.
C. Interests of Experts and Counsel
Not applicable.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information
See Item 18.
Legal proceedings
As of the date of this annual report, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is a party to any legal or arbitration proceedings, and no such proceedings are pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened, that may have, or have had in the recent past, significant effects on the Group’s financial position or profitability.
| Page 57 |
Export sales
Each Group entity sells to customers in the country in which it operates, and export sales do not constitute a significant portion of the Group’s revenue. The geographic analysis of revenue is set out at Item 4.B and at Note 6 to the financial statements.
Dividend policy
The Company has not declared or paid any dividend on its ordinary shares and does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company currently intends to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and growth of its business and to meet its obligations. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on the Group’s results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, capital requirements and such other factors as the Board considers relevant.
Under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) a company may pay a dividend only if its assets exceed its liabilities immediately before the dividend is declared and the excess is sufficient for the payment of the dividend, the payment is fair and reasonable to the company’s shareholders as a whole, and the payment does not materially prejudice the company’s ability to pay its creditors.
The Company is a holding company and its ability to pay dividends depends in part on the receipt of dividends, loans and other payments from its subsidiaries. Under the Note Purchase Agreements with Streeterville Capital, LLC described at Item 10.C, the payment of any dividend or distribution to shareholders is a “Fundamental Transaction”, and entering into or completing a Fundamental Transaction without repaying the Streeterville notes in full is a trigger event. Accordingly, the Company is effectively prohibited from paying dividends while the notes remain outstanding. Following an event of default, Streeterville may collect dividends and distributions paid on the equity interests in Group entities pledged to it. The Advaitha Note Purchase Agreement does not contain any material restriction on the payment of dividends. Distributions by subsidiaries are also subject to the corporate law of their jurisdictions of incorporation, including solvency requirements and, in India, foreign exchange and dividend distribution rules.
B. Significant Changes
Except as disclosed under “Item 5.B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Going concern and capital requirements” with respect to the Deed of Extension and the secured promissory note with Advaitha Pty Ltd dated November 3, 2026 and the loan agreements dated November 2 and November 4, 2026, and as otherwise disclosed in this annual report, no significant change has occurred since June 30, 2026.

ITEM 10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
A. Share Capital
Not applicable.
B. Memorandum and Articles of Association
The Company is a public company limited by shares, registered in Western Australia under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) with Australian Company Number 660 713 093. The following is a summary of certain material provisions of its constitution and the Australian Corporations Act as they relate to the ordinary shares. The Company’s constitution does not limit its objects or purposes.
Ordinary shares
The Company has one class of shares on issue. Subject to the constitution and the Corporations Act, each shareholder present in person or by proxy at a general meeting has one vote on a show of hands and, on a poll, one vote for each fully paid ordinary share held. Holders are entitled to receive dividends when declared by the Board, and on a winding up to share in surplus assets in proportion to the capital paid up on their shares. The ordinary shares have no pre-emptive, redemption, sinking fund or conversion rights, and there is no liability to further capital calls in respect of fully paid shares.
Subject to applicable law, dividends that remain unclaimed for one year after declaration may be invested or otherwise used by the directors for the Company’s benefit until claimed (clause 22.9). The clause does not provide for automatic forfeiture after that year.
Variation of class rights
Rights attaching to a class of shares may be varied or cancelled by special resolution of the Company and either a special resolution passed at a meeting of the holders of that class or the written consent of holders of at least 75 percent of the shares of that class, in accordance with section 246B of the Corporations Act.
General meetings
The Company must hold an annual general meeting within five months after the end of each financial year. At least 28 days’ notice of a general meeting must be given to shareholders. A quorum is shareholders present in person, by proxy, attorney or representative holding in aggregate at least 33⅓ percent of the ordinary shares on issue (clause 13.1). An ordinary resolution requires a simple majority of votes cast and a special resolution requires at least 75 percent of votes cast. Shareholders holding at least 5 percent of the votes may requisition a general meeting.
Directors
The constitution provides for a minimum of three and a maximum of nine directors (clause 14.1). Directors are appointed by the shareholders in general meeting, and the Board may appoint a director to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the Board, in which case that director holds office until the next annual general meeting. At each annual general meeting one-third of the directors, other than a managing director and any director appointed by the Board since the last annual general meeting, retire by rotation and are eligible for re-election (clauses 14.2 and 18.4). The Board may exercise all powers of the Company that are not required by the Corporations Act or the constitution to be exercised by the Company in general meeting. A director who has a material personal interest in a matter must give notice of that interest under section 191 of the Corporations Act and, unless the Act or the constitution permits otherwise, must not be present while the matter is considered or vote on it.
| Page 59 |
Directors’ remuneration. The aggregate fixed annual remuneration of directors, excluding executive directors’ salaries, may not exceed the amount determined by shareholders in general meeting; the directors determine its allocation among themselves, or otherwise it is divided equally. Non-executive remuneration may not comprise a commission or percentage of profits or operating revenue, and executive remuneration may not comprise a commission or percentage of operating revenue (clause 14.7). The Board determines managing and executive directors’ remuneration, subject to clause 14.7 (clause 18.2).
Board quorum and qualifications. The quorum for a directors’ meeting is two directors present in person or by instantaneous communication device (clause 16.3). Directors are not required to hold shares (clause 14.10). The constitution does not impose a mandatory retirement age, although a retirement-benefit scheme may prescribe a retiring age (clause 15.5).
Borrowing powers. Subject to the Corporations Act and the constitution, the directors may borrow money, charge the Company’s property or business or its uncalled capital, issue debentures, and give security for a debt, liability or obligation of the Company or another person (clauses 15.1 and 15.2).
Changes in capital. Subject to the Corporations Act and applicable listing rules, the Company may by ordinary resolution consolidate or subdivide shares, issue shares and cancel shares not taken or agreed to be taken or that have been forfeited. The directors may implement those resolutions. Capital reductions are subject to the Corporations Act and applicable listing rules (clauses 10.1 and 10.2).
Transfer of shares
Shares may be transferred in any manner permitted by the Corporations Act and the constitution. The constitution was originally prepared in a form used by companies listed on the ASX, and its references to the ASX Listing Rules do not apply to the Company.
Takeovers and substantial holdings
Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act prohibits a person from acquiring a relevant interest in issued voting shares of the Company if, as a result, that person’s or another person’s voting power increases from 20 percent or below to more than 20 percent, or from a starting point above 20 percent and below 90 percent, unless an exception applies. The principal exceptions are acquisitions under a takeover bid, under a court-approved scheme of arrangement, with the approval of shareholders in general meeting, and acquisitions of not more than 3 percent in any six-month period. A person who begins to have, or ceases to have, a substantial holding of 5 percent or more of the voting shares, or whose substantial holding changes by 1 percent or more, must lodge a notice under section 671B. A bidder who acquires at least 90 percent may compulsorily acquire the remaining shares under Chapter 6A.
Foreign ownership
The Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975 (Cth) may require a foreign person to obtain prior approval before acquiring a substantial interest in the Company. Neither the constitution nor Australian law otherwise restricts the ownership of ordinary shares by non-residents, or their right to hold or vote those shares.
The constitution contains no provision that discriminates against any existing or prospective holder of ordinary shares as a result of that holder owning a substantial number of shares, and no provision that would have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring. The conditions in the constitution governing changes in capital are not more stringent than those required by the Corporations Act.
The Company’s share register is maintained by its share registry, VStock Transfer, LLC, 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, New York 11598, United States. Under section 173 of the Corporations Act, shareholders may inspect the register without charge, and other persons may inspect it on payment of a fee. Any person may request a copy of the register, which must be provided within seven days on payment of the prescribed fee. Under section 177, information obtained from the register may not be used to contact or send material to shareholders, except for purposes relevant to their holdings or approved by the Company.
| Page 60 |
Material differences between the rights of holders of ordinary shares under Australian law and the rights that would apply under United States law include the following:
| ● | Shareholders may bring a derivative action on behalf of the Company only with the leave of the court under Part 2F.1A of the Corporations Act. |
| ● | Because the Company has more than 50 members, the takeover provisions of Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act apply. They generally prohibit a person from acquiring a relevant interest in more than 20% of the voting shares other than through a permitted method, such as a takeover bid or with shareholder approval. |
| ● | Directors are elected and removed by ordinary resolution of shareholders. One-third of the directors retire by rotation at each annual general meeting. |

Closing of the February Note Purchase Agreement was conditional on the Company’s ordinary shares commencing trading on Nasdaq. Each financing was approved by resolutions of the Company’s board of directors. The principal financial terms of the Notes are as follows:

The original issue discount and transaction expense amount are included in the original principal amount of each Note and were fully earned and non-refundable at closing. Except as described below, the Notes and their related transaction documents are on substantially the same terms.
| Page 61 |
Interest, repayment and prepayment
Interest accrues on the outstanding balance of each Note at 9% per annum, computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and compounding daily. The outstanding balance, together with accrued interest, fees and charges, is payable in U.S. dollars on the date that is 12 months after the date on which Streeterville paid the purchase price. If any principal is prepaid, repaid, redeemed or accelerated before maturity for any reason, including voluntary prepayment, mandatory prepayment, acceleration, change of control, asset sale or refinancing, the Company must also pay an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued on that principal from the prepayment date to the maturity date (the “Make-Whole Amount”). The Company may not take any action whose primary purpose or reasonably foreseeable effect is to avoid or reduce the Make-Whole Amount.
Each time the Company receives funds from any fundraising or financing transaction, including warrant exercises, “at the market” offerings, equity lines of credit and debt financings, it must, within two trading days, prepay each Note by the lesser of 5% of the amount raised and the outstanding balance of that Note. Mandatory prepayments are subject to the Make-Whole Amount.
Security and guarantees
The Company’s obligations under each Note are secured by:
| ● | Security Agreement. A security agreement granted by the Company, Braiin LLC, Raptor300 Inc., Connect Simple Pty Ltd and VIS Networks Pvt. Ltd. over all of their present and after-acquired assets other than real property, including equity interests in subsidiaries, receivables, inventory, equipment, intellectual property, deposit accounts and investment property. The security interest is first-ranking and pari passu with secured debt disclosed to Streeterville before the date of the relevant agreement, which, for the March Note, includes the February Note. |
| ● | Intellectual Property Security Agreement. A security interest granted by the same five entities over the patents, patent applications and trademarks listed in the agreement, comprising one issued U.S. patent and five pending U.S. patent applications, for recording with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. |
| ● | Pledge Agreement. A pledge by the Company, Vega Global Technologies Pty Ltd, Raptor300 Inc. and VIS Networks Pvt. Ltd. of their equity interests in the 19 wholly-owned and partly-owned group entities listed in the agreement. The pledgors retain voting rights unless Streeterville forecloses. Following an event of default, Streeterville may collect dividends and distributions on, and sell, the pledged interests. |
| ● | Guaranty. An absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment of all obligations under the transaction documents given by Connect Simple Pty Ltd, Vega Global Technologies Pty Ltd, Braiin LLC, Raptor300 Inc., Raptor300 (Pvt) Ltd., VIS Networks Pvt. Ltd., Nisus Australia Pty Ltd, Nisus Payroll Pty Ltd, Mirragin Consulting Pty Ltd, VIS Global Pte. Ltd, VISNET Global Sdn. Bhd., VIS Network UK Ltd, VIS Global Digital Solutions LLC, VIS Global Inc and Visnet Technologies LLC. While the guaranty is in force, the guarantors may not guarantee any other debt other than Permitted Debt (as defined below). |
Under the March Note Purchase Agreement, within 30 days after completing any acquisition, the Company must cause each acquired entity to provide a guaranty, a security agreement and an intellectual property security agreement in substantially the same form as those described above, granting Streeterville a first-ranking security interest over the acquired entity’s assets, and must pledge (or cause the relevant subsidiary to pledge) its ownership interests in the acquired entity.
Under the security agreements, the grantors may not, without Streeterville’s consent, dispose of collateral other than inventory in the ordinary course of business, create liens other than Permitted Liens, or grant exclusive licences of their intellectual property. They must give Streeterville 15 days’ prior notice of any change of name or principal place of business and of the formation of any subsidiary.
| Page 62 |
Covenants
Until all obligations under the transaction documents are paid and performed in full, the Company must, among other things:
| ● | remain a reporting company under the Exchange Act and file all required reports on time; |
| ● | maintain the listing of its ordinary shares on Nasdaq, the NYSE or NYSE American and ensure that trading in its ordinary shares is not suspended or halted; |
| ● | not, without Streeterville’s consent, incur or guarantee any debt other than trade payables in the ordinary course of business, secured debt ranking pari passu with the Notes that Streeterville has consented to, purchase money security interests over equipment, and bank debt (including credit cards) that does not involve liens (together, “Permitted Debt”); |
| ● | not, without Streeterville’s consent, issue securities with conversion or exercise prices that vary with the market price of its ordinary shares or are subject to reset, or issue securities in a Section 3(a)(9) exchange or Section 3(a)(10) settlement. Issuances under “at the market” facilities and primary offerings of ordinary shares or warrants without variable price mechanics are permitted; |
| ● | not agree to any restriction on its ability to issue securities to, or enter into variable rate transactions with, Streeterville or its affiliates; |
| ● | not, and not permit any subsidiary to, grant any lien over its assets other than Permitted Liens (as defined in the security agreements) without Streeterville’s consent; and |
| ● | not permit any subsidiary to issue or transfer equity interests other than in Permitted Transactions (as defined below). |
The February Note Purchase Agreement also requires the proceeds of the February Note to be used solely for working capital, general corporate purposes or acquisitions, with no more than US$1,250,000 applied to the repayment of third-party debt.
While the Notes are outstanding, if the Company issues any debt security on economic terms more favourable to the holder than those of the Notes, Streeterville may elect to have those terms incorporated into its transaction documents.
Trigger events and events of default
Trigger events under each Note include: (a) failure to pay any amount within one day of its due date; (b) to (f) the appointment of a receiver or trustee, insolvency, a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceedings; (g) entering into a definitive agreement for, or completing, a Fundamental Transaction without full repayment of the Note on closing; (h) breach of any covenant in the Note Purchase Agreement; (i) any other breach of the transaction documents not cured within five days; (j) any materially false or misleading representation or warranty; (k) a reverse share split without 20 trading days’ prior notice; (l) a judgment or similar process exceeding US$250,000 that is not vacated, bonded or stayed within 20 days; (m) the filing of a non-management supported preliminary proxy; and (n) breach of any other agreement with Streeterville or its affiliates, or of any financing agreement exceeding US$500,000 or other material agreement, not cured within five days after notice.
| Page 63 |
A “Fundamental Transaction” includes a merger or consolidation, a sale of all or substantially all assets, an acquisition by any person of more than 50% of the Company’s voting shares, a reorganisation or reclassification of the Company’s shares, a transfer of any material asset to a subsidiary or affiliate, and the payment of any dividend or distribution to shareholders. Acquisitions in which the Company retains majority control, and internal reorganisations among the Company, Braiin LLC, Connect Simple Pty Ltd, Raptor300 Inc. and VIS Networks Pvt. Ltd. that do not impair Streeterville’s security, are excluded (“Permitted Transactions”).
On the occurrence of a trigger event, Streeterville may increase the outstanding balance of the relevant Note by 20% for each trigger event under items (a) to (h) and by 5% for each other trigger event, in each case on up to two occasions. A trigger event becomes an event of default if it is not cured within five trading days after Streeterville’s notice, except that the events in items (b) to (f) are automatic events of default. Following an event of default, Streeterville may accelerate the Note, with the outstanding balance (after the increase described above) becoming immediately payable in cash, and may by notice charge default interest at the lesser of 22% per annum and the maximum rate permitted by law. Streeterville may also seek injunctive relief preventing the Company from issuing ordinary shares or preferred shares unless 50% of the gross proceeds are applied to the Note, and preventing completion of a Fundamental Transaction that does not provide for repayment of the Note on closing.
Other terms
The Notes and the related transaction documents are governed by the laws of the State of Utah, and disputes are subject to binding arbitration in Salt Lake County, Utah. Streeterville may assign the Notes and its rights under the transaction documents without the Company’s consent. The Company may not assign its obligations without Streeterville’s consent.
Listing and advisory. The engagement letter with Maxim Group LLC in connection with the direct listing, and the lock-up agreements entered into in connection with the listing. Pursuant to the Company’s engagement letter with Maxim, Maxim received shares equal to 1% of the Company’s fully diluted outstanding ordinary shares as of the engagement date and was entitled to a further 1% of issued and outstanding ordinary shares on completion of the direct listing and a $300,000 cash fee payable on the Company’s first financing transaction with Maxim of at least $5 million. Reasonable documented expenses are reimbursable, with a $25,000 cap on non-legal expenses absent Company authorization. For 18 months after the direct listing, the Company must offer to retain Maxim in the specified lead roles for certain offerings, placements and transactions involving parties introduced by Maxim. Of the 3,890,934 ordinary shares issued to Maxim, 3,740,934 are subject to a lock-up of 12 months from February 12, 2026, the date the Company’s ordinary shares commenced trading on The Nasdaq Global Market, and 150,000 are not subject to a lock-up.
Employment and appointment. The employment letters of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Strategy Officer and the Head of Investor Relations; the letters of appointment of the independent non-executive directors; and the indemnification and insurance arrangements referred to in those letters.
D. Exchange Controls
Australia does not currently impose general exchange controls on the payment of dividends or interest, or on the remittance of capital, to non-residents. Payments to, and transactions with, certain countries, entities and persons are restricted under the Autonomous Sanctions Act 2011 (Cth), the Charter of the United Nations Act 1945 (Cth) and regulations made under those Acts. Cash transactions of A$10,000 or more and instructions for the international transfer of funds must be reported to the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (Cth). The acquisition of a substantial interest in the Company by a foreign person may require prior approval under the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975 (Cth), but that Act does not restrict the payment of dividends or the remittance of sale proceeds.

E. Taxation
The following is a general summary of the material Australian and United States federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of ordinary shares. It is not exhaustive, does not address the position of holders subject to special rules, and is not tax advice. Holders should consult their own advisers.
Australian taxation
Dividends. The Company has not paid dividends. An unfranked dividend paid to a non-resident shareholder is generally subject to Australian dividend withholding tax at 30 percent, reduced to 15 percent for a resident of the United States entitled to benefits under the Australia-United States double tax convention, and to 5 percent or nil in the circumstances specified in that convention. A dividend franked in full is exempt from dividend withholding tax, and the part of a dividend declared to be conduit foreign income is also exempt. The Company has not paid Australian income tax and does not presently have franking credits available, so any dividend paid in the near term is expected to be unfranked. The Company assumes responsibility for the withholding of Australian dividend withholding tax at source on dividends paid to holders of ordinary shares who are not residents of Australia, to the extent required by Australian law. No withholding tax is imposed on the fully franked portion of a dividend paid to a non-resident.
Disposal of shares. A non-resident shareholder is generally not subject to Australian capital gains tax on the disposal of ordinary shares unless the shares are taxable Australian property. Shares are taxable Australian property only if the shareholder, together with its associates, holds 10 percent or more of the Company’s shares (a non-portfolio interest) and more than 50 percent of the market value of the Company’s assets is attributable, directly or indirectly, to Australian real property, including leases of land and mining interests; or if the shares are used in carrying on a business through a permanent establishment in Australia. The Group’s Australian real property is not a principal part of its assets. A non-resident who is subject to capital gains tax is not entitled to the capital gains tax discount for gains accruing after May 8, 2012. A purchaser of shares that are taxable Australian property may be required to withhold 15 percent of the purchase price under the foreign resident capital gains withholding regime, which does not apply to on-market transactions on an approved stock exchange.
Stamp duty and estate duty. No Australian stamp duty is payable on the transfer of shares quoted on a recognized exchange, and Australia does not impose estate or inheritance duty.
United States federal income taxation
The following summary applies to a United States holder, being a beneficial owner of ordinary shares that is a citizen or individual resident of the United States, a corporation organized in or under the laws of the United States, or an estate or trust whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, and that holds the ordinary shares as capital assets. It does not address holders that own, directly, indirectly or constructively, 10 percent or more of the Company’s shares by vote or value, or holders subject to special rules, including dealers, financial institutions, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, partnerships and persons holding ordinary shares as part of a straddle, hedge or conversion transaction.
Distributions. The gross amount of any distribution on the ordinary shares, including any Australian tax withheld, is taxable as a dividend to the extent paid out of the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits as determined for United States federal income tax purposes. The Company does not intend to calculate its earnings and profits on that basis, and a United States holder should expect any distribution to be treated as a dividend. Dividends are not eligible for the dividends-received deduction available to corporations. Dividends received by a non-corporate United States holder may be qualified dividend income taxed at the preferential rates applicable to long-term capital gains if the Company is a qualified foreign corporation, which includes a corporation eligible for the benefits of the Australia-United States double tax convention or whose shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, if the Company is not a passive foreign investment company in the year of the distribution or the preceding year, and if holding period and other requirements are met. Dividends paid in Australian dollars are included in income at their United States dollar value on the date of receipt. Subject to applicable limitations, Australian tax withheld may be credited against United States federal income tax or deducted. Dividends are generally foreign-source passive category income for foreign tax credit purposes.
| Page 65 |
Sale or other disposition. A United States holder generally recognizes capital gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of ordinary shares equal to the difference between the amount realized and the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares, each determined in United States dollars. The gain or loss is long-term if the shares have been held for more than one year, and long-term capital gain of a non-corporate United States holder is taxed at preferential rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Gain or loss is generally United States-source for foreign tax credit purposes.
Medicare contribution tax. Certain non-corporate United States holders are subject to a 3.8 percent tax on net investment income, which includes dividends on, and gain from the disposition of, the ordinary shares.
Information reporting and backup withholding. Dividends on, and proceeds from the disposition of, the ordinary shares paid within the United States or through certain United States-related intermediaries may be subject to information reporting and to backup withholding unless the holder provides a correct taxpayer identification number and certifies that it is not subject to backup withholding, or otherwise establishes an exemption. Backup withholding is not an additional tax and may be credited against the holder’s United States federal income tax liability. Individuals and certain entities holding specified foreign financial assets, which may include the ordinary shares, with an aggregate value above prescribed thresholds must report them on Internal Revenue Service Form 8938.
Passive foreign investment company. A non-United States corporation is a passive foreign investment company for a taxable year if 75 percent or more of its gross income is passive income, or if 50 percent or more of the average quarterly value of its assets consists of assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income. For these purposes the Company is treated as owning its proportionate share of the assets, and receiving its proportionate share of the income, of any corporation in which it owns 25 percent or more of the shares by value. Cash and investments in equity securities and mutual funds are passive assets, while goodwill and other intangible assets are generally treated as active to the extent attributable to activities that produce active income.
Since the acquisitions completed on February 12, 2026, substantially all of the Group’s gross income has been derived from the active conduct of its network infrastructure, systems integration, managed services, unmanned systems and telecommunications connection businesses, and substantially all of the value of its assets has been attributable to those businesses, including the goodwill recognized on the acquisitions. On that basis the Company does not believe that it was a passive foreign investment company for its taxable year ended June 30, 2026. The determination is made annually, depends on the composition of the Group’s income and assets and on the market value of its assets, which may be determined by reference to the market price of the ordinary shares, and is not free from doubt. No assurance can be given that the Company will not be a passive foreign investment company for any taxable year.
If the Company were a passive foreign investment company for any taxable year during which a United States holder held ordinary shares, gain on a disposition of the shares and any excess distribution would be allocated ratably over the holder’s holding period, the amounts allocated to prior years would be taxed at the highest rate in effect for each such year together with an interest charge, and dividends would not be qualified dividend income. A United States holder may mitigate those consequences by making a mark-to-market election, if the ordinary shares are regularly traded on a qualified exchange, or a qualified electing fund election, which requires the Company to provide information that it does not presently intend to provide. A United States holder of shares in a passive foreign investment company is generally required to file Internal Revenue Service Form 8621.

As an Australian public company, the Company is nonetheless required by the Corporations Act to provide or make available to its shareholders each year an annual financial report, a directors’ report and an auditor’s report, and to lodge those reports with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. Shareholders who have elected to receive the reports in hard copy or electronically are sent them in that form. For shareholders who have not made an election, the Company satisfies the requirement by making the reports readily accessible on its website at ir.braiin.com. The Company’s annual report for the year ended June 30, 2026 is prepared in English and will be furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 6-K when it is made available to shareholders.
ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and equity price risk. Risk management is carried out by management under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge these exposures.
Foreign currency risk
The Group operates through entities with nine functional currencies: the Australian dollar, the Indian rupee, the United States dollar, the Omani rial, the United Arab Emirates dirham, the Malaysian ringgit, the pound sterling, the Philippine peso and the euro. The financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The Group is exposed both to transactional risk on monetary balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity holding them, and to translation risk on the net assets and results of foreign operations.
| Page 67 |
At June 30, 2026 the Group’s monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity holding them were principally balances denominated in United States dollars held by the Company, whose functional currency is the Australian dollar, being the promissory notes and the deferred consideration, and smaller United States dollar balances held by Group entities whose functional currencies are the Indian rupee, the Philippine peso, the United Arab Emirates dirham and the Omani rial. The following table shows the effect on loss before tax and on equity of a 10 percent strengthening or weakening of each functional currency against the United States dollar, applied to the United States dollar monetary assets and liabilities held at June 30, 2026 by Group entities with that functional currency, with all other variables held constant. A positive amount is a decrease in the loss before tax and an increase in equity. No tax effect is recognized, so the effect on equity is equal to the effect on loss before tax.
| $ | Loss before tax — 10% stronger | Loss before tax — 10% weaker | Equity — 10% stronger | Equity — 10% weaker | ||||||||||||
| Australian dollar | 2,915,020 | (2,915,020 | ) | 2,915,020 | (2,915,020 | ) | ||||||||||
| Indian rupee | (32,582 | ) | 32,582 | (32,582 | ) | 32,582 | ||||||||||
| Philippine peso | (4,683 | ) | 4,683 | (4,683 | ) | 4,683 | ||||||||||
| United Arab Emirates dirham | (659 | ) | 659 | (659 | ) | 659 | ||||||||||
| Omani rial | (174 | ) | 174 | (174 | ) | 174 | ||||||||||
| Total | 2,876,922 | (2,876,922 | ) | 2,876,922 | (2,876,922 | ) | ||||||||||
The Group’s exposure to the euro, arising in VIS Global EU B.V., is not material, and a 10 percent change in the euro against the United States dollar would not have a material effect on loss before tax or equity.
The Group did not hedge its foreign currency exposure during the year and did not use currency derivatives.
Interest rate risk
The Streeterville promissory notes, the Advaitha Note Purchase Agreement and the convertible notes bear interest at fixed rates and are not exposed to cash flow interest rate risk. The Streeterville promissory notes bear a coupon of 9 percent per annum compounding daily, giving effective interest rates of 28.78 percent and 28.83 percent per annum; the Advaitha Note Purchase Agreement bears interest of $115,200 a month, being 14.4 percent per annum on the principal outstanding of $9,600,000; and the convertible notes bear interest at 10 percent per annum.
The short-term borrowings from banks of VIS Networks Private Limited of $2,252,236 at June 30, 2026, which bear interest at rates linked to the lender’s marginal cost of funds, and the loan against property from Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited of $1,965,820, which bears interest at the Reserve Bank of India repo rate plus 2.65 percent, are exposed to cash flow interest rate risk. The analysis below does not include the insurance premium funding and the loans from external parties, totalling $662,624. The following table shows the effect of a change in variable interest rates, assuming those borrowings were outstanding for a full year, with all other variables held constant.
| Effect of a change in variable interest rates | Loss before tax $ | Equity $ | ||||||
| Increase of 100 basis points | (42,181 | ) | (42,181 | ) | ||||
| Decrease of 100 basis points | 42,181 | 42,181 | ||||||
The Group did not use interest rate derivatives during the year.
Equity price risk
The Group holds investments in equity securities and mutual funds measured at fair value through profit or loss of $804,266 at June 30, 2026. The investments are held by VIS Networks Private Limited as investments of surplus funds and are not held for trading. An increase or decrease of 10 percent in the quoted prices of those investments, with all other variables held constant, would decrease or increase the loss before tax by approximately $80,000.
The analysis above is presented in sensitivity analysis format. It measures the effect of hypothetical changes in exchange rates, interest rates and prices on the financial instruments held at June 30, 2026 and does not take account of changes in those instruments after that date, of the effect of exchange rates on the translation of the results and net assets of foreign operations other than through the equity column, or of any action management might take in response.
ITEM 12. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES OTHER THAN EQUITY SECURITIES
Not applicable.

PART II
ITEM 13. DEFAULTS, DIVIDEND ARREARAGES AND DELINQUENCIES
None.
ITEM 14. MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS AND USE OF PROCEEDS
None. The Company’s registration statement on Form F-1 (Registration No. 333-291410) registered the resale of ordinary shares by selling shareholders, and the Company received no proceeds from the sale of those shares.
ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2026. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, because of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2026 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Notwithstanding these material weaknesses, management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Group for each of the periods presented, in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting
This annual report does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for newly public companies. Management’s first report on internal control over financial reporting will be included in the Company’s annual report for a future period.
| Page 69 |
Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. The Company is an emerging growth company and is exempt from the auditor attestation requirement under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Material weaknesses and ongoing remediation
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
In connection with the preparation and audit of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2026, the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting were identified:
(1) the Group’s internal control over financial reporting framework, including entity-level controls and financial close controls, was not adequately designed, formally documented, or consistently evidenced. These deficiencies affected the control environment, risk assessment, and monitoring activities and resulted in control gaps across key financial close processes, including account reconciliations, journal entry reviews, account analyses, and approval controls. Certain controls were incomplete or not performed timely, contributing to repeated year-end journal entry corrections;
(2) the Group lacks sufficient financial reporting resources with the appropriate experience to consistently meet applicable financial reporting, internal control, and reporting requirements, particularly across newly acquired entities. Limited staffing and lack of segregation of duties also result in significant reliance on the Chief Financial Officer and central finance team; and
(3) the Group has not fully integrated its expanded operations into a consistent internal control framework, resulting in gaps in the governance, information systems, monitoring activities, and oversight of acquired entities.
These material weaknesses include the two material weaknesses identified before the direct listing, which related to the lack of a formally implemented and documented system of internal control over financial reporting and the lack of sufficient accounting personnel with knowledge and experience of SEC and PCAOB reporting. The year ended June 30, 2026 was the Group’s first financial year as a consolidated group. The acquisitions completed on February 12, 2026, four and a half months before the year end, brought into the Group businesses in eleven countries, each with its own accounting systems, reporting calendar and local reporting framework, and the financial statements for the year were the first prepared and audited on a group basis.
During the year ended June 30, 2026 the acquisitions brought established accounting teams into the Group, we appointed additional finance personnel, and we engaged external advisers for technical accounting, the purchase price allocations for the acquisitions, the preparation of IFRS financial information for our Indian operations, and financial reporting and tax for our Australian entities. These measures were introduced during the year and the material weaknesses had not been remediated at June 30, 2026.
Our remediation plan for the year ending June 30, 2027, which is overseen by the audit committee, includes the following measures:
Framework and financial close (material weakness 1). We will design and document a Group-wide framework of internal control over financial reporting, including process narratives and risk and control matrices for each significant process. We will introduce a Group financial close calendar and checklist for the monthly, half-year and annual close; require balance sheet reconciliations and account analyses to be prepared and independently reviewed each month, with evidence of preparation and review retained; and adopt a journal entry policy that requires manual journals to be supported, and reviewed and approved by a person other than the preparer, with approval levels by value. Consolidation adjustments will be prepared from a standard reporting pack submitted by each entity and reviewed before the consolidation is finalized, so that corrections are identified during the close rather than at the year end.
| Page 70 |
Financial reporting resources (material weakness 2). We will recruit additional experienced financial reporting personnel at Group level, including a Group financial controller and a person with technical accounting and SEC reporting experience, and strengthen finance resources in the acquired entities where they are most limited. We will provide training in IFRS Accounting Standards, Group accounting policies and SEC reporting to the local finance teams, and continue to engage external advisers for complex technical accounting matters and SEC reporting. Where local teams are too small for full segregation of duties, we will introduce review controls performed at Group level, and we will document the delegation of finance responsibilities so that significant matters do not depend on the Chief Financial Officer alone.
Internal control across the expanded Group (material weakness 3). We will apply the Group accounting policies and controls to every subsidiary, including a defined process to bring newly acquired entities into the Group control framework. We will document and implement entity-level controls, including policies on authority limits and related party transactions, and the audit committee will receive regular reports on the status of remediation. We will design and implement general controls over the information systems that support financial reporting, covering user access, segregation of duties within those systems and change management, and we will assess the consolidation of the accounting systems used across the Group. To monitor the controls, management will perform periodic self-assessments and we will engage an external adviser to test the design and operating effectiveness of key controls, in preparation for management’s first report on internal control over financial reporting for the year ending June 30, 2027.
We expect to implement these measures during the year ending June 30, 2027. A material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls have operated for a sufficient period and management has concluded, through testing, that they are operating effectively. We cannot assure you that these measures will remediate the material weaknesses, or that further material weaknesses will not be identified, and the remediation will require additional cost and management time.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
On February 12, 2026 the Company acquired the VIS group, the Vega group and Connect Simple Pty Ltd. Those acquisitions materially changed the scale and complexity of the Group’s financial reporting, bringing into the Group accounting systems, processes and personnel in eleven countries, and are a change that has materially affected internal control over financial reporting. Mr Stephenson has served as Chief Financial Officer since July 2022; his post-listing employment terms took effect on February 12, 2026. During the year the Group integrated the accounting teams of the acquired businesses, appointed additional finance personnel and engaged external advisers for technical accounting, the purchase price allocations, IFRS reporting for the Indian operations and Australian financial reporting and tax, as described above. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 16. [RESERVED]
ITEM 16A. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT
The Board of Directors has determined that Stephen Christopher Buehler, the chair of the audit committee, qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 16A of Form 20-F and is independent within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing rules and Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.
ITEM 16B. CODE OF ETHICS
The Company has adopted a code of conduct that applies to its directors, officers and employees, including the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer, the principal accounting officer and persons performing similar functions. The code is filed as an exhibit to this annual report and a copy is available on our website at www.braiin.com. The Company intends to satisfy the disclosure requirements under Item 16B of Form 20-F regarding waivers of or amendments to provisions of the code that apply to the principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer by posting such information on its website. No amendment to, and no waiver from, a provision of the code was granted during the year ended June 30, 2026.

ITEM 16C. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
Principal accountant fees
The following table sets out the fees billed by BDO Audit Pty Ltd, the Company’s principal accountant, and by member firms of BDO, for each of the two fiscal years shown.
| $ | Fiscal 2026 | Fiscal 2025 | ||||||
| Audit fees | 468,880 | 201,871 | ||||||
| Audit-related fees | – | – | ||||||
| Tax fees | – | – | ||||||
| All other fees | – | – | ||||||
| Total | 468,880 | 201,871 | ||||||
Audit fees are the aggregate fees billed for the audit of the consolidated financial statements and for services normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings. Audit-related fees are fees for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit and are not reported as audit fees. Tax fees are fees for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. All other fees are fees for products and services other than those described above.
In addition, fees of $9,019 were billed in fiscal 2026 by other auditors of subsidiaries of the Group, which are not the principal accountant.
Audit committee pre-approval policies and procedures
The audit committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the principal accountant. The audit committee was established on February 12, 2026. Since that date, under its charter, the audit committee has pre-approved all audit and permitted non-audit services to be performed by the principal accountant, either by approving the engagement before the service is provided or under policies and procedures adopted by the committee, in which case the committee is informed of each service. The committee considers whether the provision of any non-audit service is compatible with maintaining the independence of the principal accountant. Before February 12, 2026, including for all services provided in fiscal 2025, the engagement of the principal accountant and the services it provided were approved in advance by the Board of Directors. None of the services described above was approved in reliance on the de minimis exception in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X.
ITEM 16D. EXEMPTIONS FROM THE LISTING STANDARDS FOR AUDIT COMMITTEES
Not applicable.
ITEM 16E. PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES BY THE ISSUER AND AFFILIATED PURCHASERS
None.
ITEM 16F. CHANGE IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
Not applicable.
| Page 72 |
ITEM 16G. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
As a foreign private issuer, the Company is permitted to follow certain home country corporate governance practices in lieu of certain requirements of the Nasdaq listing rules. The Company relies on the following significant exemptions from the Nasdaq corporate governance standards:
| ● | Compensation committee. The Company follows home country practice in lieu of the Nasdaq requirements relating to the composition and charter of the compensation committee. The Corporations Act does not require an Australian company to maintain a compensation committee or prescribe its composition or charter. Each current member of the compensation committee is independent. |
| ● | Shareholder approval. The Company follows home country practice in lieu of the Nasdaq requirement to obtain shareholder approval for certain issuances of securities, including issuances of 20% or more of its outstanding ordinary shares and the establishment or material amendment of equity compensation arrangements. Under the Corporations Act and the Company’s constitution, the Board may issue shares without shareholder approval. |
| ● | Executive sessions. The Company follows home country practice in lieu of the Nasdaq requirement that independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present. The Corporations Act does not require the independent directors of an Australian company to hold such executive sessions. |
| ● | Director compensation disclosure. The Company follows home country practice in lieu of the Nasdaq requirement to disclose third-party director and director nominee compensation. The Corporations Act does not have a similar requirement. |
The Company is a “controlled company” within the meaning of Nasdaq listing rules because Natraj Balasubramanian, its Chief Executive Officer and founder, controls approximately 59.52% of the Company’s total voting power. As a controlled company, the Company is not required to have a majority of its board of directors be independent or to have a compensation committee or nominating committee composed entirely of independent directors. Although the Company qualifies for these exemptions, it does not currently intend to rely on them.
ITEM 16H. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURE

ITEM 16I. DISCLOSURE REGARDING FOREIGN JURISDICTIONS THAT PREVENT INSPECTIONS

ITEM 16K. CYBERSECURITY
The
Group operates network infrastructure, systems integration and managed services businesses, and conducts unmanned systems work for government,
defense and critical infrastructure clients. Cybersecurity risk is accordingly a risk to the Group’s own information systems and
to the services it delivers to clients.
Material effects of cybersecurity threats

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Shareholders and Board of Directors
Braiin Limited
Subiaco, Australia
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
Basis for opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Group’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Group’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (‘PCAOB’) and are required to be independent with respect to the Group in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Group is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
/s/
We have served as the Group’s auditor since 2023.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2026
1. Corporate information
Braiin Limited (the “Company” or “Braiin”) is a for-profit public company limited by shares, incorporated on 4 July 2022 and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office and principal place of business is 283 Rokeby Road, Subiaco, Western Australia 6008. These consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its controlled entities (together, the “Group”).
The Group’s ordinary shares were admitted to quotation on The Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker BRAI on 12 February 2026. On that date the Group also completed the acquisition of four business groups — VIS Networks Private Limited and its subsidiaries, VIS Global PTE Ltd and its subsidiaries, Vega Global Technologies Pty Ltd and its subsidiaries, and Connect Simple Pty Ltd. The results of those businesses are included in these consolidated financial statements from 12 February 2026, being 139 days of the reporting period.
The Group’s activities span artificial intelligence and machine learning, robotics, unmanned systems, internet of things, network and communications infrastructure, and mission-critical enterprise software and hardware. Following the acquisitions the Group operates across Australia, India, Singapore, the United States, the United Kingdom, Malaysia, Oman, the United Arab Emirates and the Philippines.
These consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 5 November 2026.
2. Basis of preparation
2.1 Statement of compliance
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. No reconciliation to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States is required or presented, the Group being a foreign private issuer reporting under IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB.
2.2 Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss, which are measured at fair value.
2.3 Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of Braiin Limited is the Australian dollar. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency by reference to the primary economic environment in which it operates. These consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars, which is not the functional currency of the parent. The presentation currency was selected because the Group’s shares are quoted on The Nasdaq Global Market in United States dollars and the majority of the Group’s reporting and financing activity is conducted in that currency.
Results and financial position of each entity are translated into the presentation currency as follows: assets and liabilities at the closing rate at the reporting date; income and expenses at average rates for the period, or at the rate for the period from the date of acquisition for entities acquired during the year; and issued capital at historical rates. All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve.
2.4 Exchange rates applied

Entities acquired on 12 February 2026 are translated using the average rate for the 139 days from acquisition to 30 June 2026. Entities held throughout the year are translated at the full-year average rate.
| F-7 |
| Braiin Limited and Controlled Entities |
2.4.1 Functional currency of each entity
The functional currency of each entity has been determined by reference to the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates, being the currency that mainly influences its selling prices and its labour, material and other costs. The functional currencies are the Australian dollar for Braiin Limited, Connect Simple Pty Ltd, Vega Global Technologies Pty Ltd and its subsidiaries and VIS Global Pty Ltd; the United States dollar for Braiin LLC, Raptor300 Inc, VIS Global PTE Ltd and VIS Global Inc; the Indian rupee for VIS Networks Private Limited; the Malaysian ringgit for VISNET Global SDN BHD; the pound sterling for VIS Networks UK Limited; the Omani rial for VIS Global Digital Solutions LLC; the United Arab Emirates dirham for Visnet Technologies LLC; the Philippine peso for the Philippines branch of VIS Networks Private Limited; and the euro for VIS Global EU B.V.
VIS Global PTE Ltd is incorporated in Singapore but transacts, invoices, holds its cash and incurs its costs predominantly in United States dollars, and it operates as the holding and treasury company for the international VIS operations. Its functional currency is accordingly the United States dollar and not the Singapore dollar, and it is translated from a United States dollar reporting package with no further translation required.
2.5 Going concern
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
For
the year ended 30 June 2026 the Group recorded a loss after tax of USD
Since
30 June 2026 the Group has secured binding financing commitments of USD
| ● | Loans
of USD |
| ● | A
secured promissory note dated 3 November 2026 issued to Advaitha Pty Ltd as trustee for The
Advaitha Family Trust, a related party, under which USD |
| ● | A
deed of extension dated 3 November 2026 under which the maturity of the USD |
The new loans and the new note had not been drawn at the date these consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue. They are committed financing and are not included in cash and cash equivalents at 30 June 2026.
In assessing going concern the Directors have had regard to the following matters:
| ● | Cash flow forecasts prepared for the twelve months from the date on which these consolidated financial statements are authorised for issue, which model the Group’s operating cash generation across each reporting sub-group together with the committed financing described above. |
| ● | Secured
promissory notes issued to Streeterville Capital, LLC comprising a note of USD |
| ● | The Group’s ability to raise further equity in addition to the committed financing, having completed a placement during the year and having access to the public market following the Nasdaq listing. Since 30 June 2026 the Company has entered into a term sheet for an equity facility. |
| ● | The contracted revenue and order book of the acquired businesses, which are revenue-generating and cash-generating in their own right. |
The Directors have concluded that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate and that there is no material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.
| F-8 |
| Braiin Limited and Controlled Entities |
2.6 Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. Control exists when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with an entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date control is obtained until the date control ceases.
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in full on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries are aligned with those of the Group.
Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group’s interest and are presented within equity separately from equity attributable to owners of the parent. Non-controlling interests in an acquiree are measured at either fair value or the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the choice being made on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis.
2.7 Reverse acquisition of Raptor300 Inc
The acquisition of Raptor300 Inc by Braiin Limited on 26 July 2022 was accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Braiin Limited was not a business at that date, and accordingly the transaction was not a business combination within the scope of IFRS 3. Raptor300 Inc is treated as the accounting acquirer and Braiin Limited as the accounting acquiree. The consolidated financial statements are a continuation of the financial statements of Raptor300 Inc, adjusted to reflect the legal capital of Braiin Limited. Shares issued to the former shareholders of Raptor300 Inc as consideration for that acquisition are excluded from issued capital, as no funds were raised and the sole purpose of the issue was to route the ownership of Raptor300 Inc through Braiin Limited. Refer to Note 35.
2.8 Comparative information
Comparative
figures have been reclassified from the presentation adopted in the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2025 to conform with
the line-item structure adopted in the current year. The reclassifications do not change the reported loss, net assets, total equity
or net change in cash of either comparative period. The principal reclassifications are as follows. In the statement of profit or loss,
rent of USD
3. Material accounting policy information
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented, except where the Group has adopted a new or amended standard.
Business combinations
The acquisition method is applied to business combinations. Consideration transferred is measured at the acquisition-date fair value of assets transferred, liabilities incurred and equity interests issued. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured at acquisition-date fair value. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest and the fair value of any previously held equity interest over the net identifiable assets acquired. Where the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised in profit or loss after reassessment. Where the initial accounting is incomplete at the reporting date, provisional amounts are reported and adjusted during the measurement period, which does not exceed one year from the acquisition date.
| F-9 |
| Braiin Limited and Controlled Entities |
Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract the Group identifies the performance obligations, determines the transaction price, allocates it to the performance obligations on a relative stand-alone selling price basis and recognises revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Group’s principal revenue streams are as follows.
Sale of equipment and software licences. The VIS businesses sell networking, telecommunications and IT equipment and software licences, generally under purchase orders that specify each item. Each item delivered is a distinct performance obligation. Revenue is recognised at the point in time control transfers to the customer, which is on delivery or, where the contract provides for it, on acceptance. The Group acts as principal in sales of equipment: it obtains control of the equipment before it is transferred to the customer, is responsible for delivering it, bears inventory risk and sets the price, and revenue is presented gross. Third-party software licences and subscriptions are provided to the customer by the software publisher, and the Group acts as agent in arranging for them to be provided; revenue from them is presented net of the amount payable to the publisher (IFRS 15 paragraph B36). Where equipment is sold together with installation or maintenance, the transaction price is allocated to each element on the basis of its stand-alone selling price.
Annual maintenance and warranty support. The Group sells annual maintenance and warranty support under contracts with customers and recognises revenue over the applicable contract term as the stand-ready service is provided. The Group acts as principal because it controls the service before transfer to the customer, is responsible for fulfilling the customer contract and has discretion in establishing the customer price. Revenue is therefore recognised on a gross basis, with any related costs recognised in cost of services over the contract term.
Managed, professional and workforce services. The VIS businesses provide installation, integration and managed network services, and the Vega group provides technology consulting, workforce and payroll services. These services are performed over time as the customer receives the benefit. Where the Group has a right to invoice an amount that corresponds directly with the value of performance completed to date, such as time-and-materials and monthly service charges, revenue is recognised in the amount the Group has a right to invoice. Where Nisus Australia Pty Ltd engages contractors to provide services to its clients, it is responsible for the services and for paying the contractors, and acts as principal; revenue is the amount charged to the client and the contractor costs are recognised in cost of services. Where Nisus Payroll Pty Ltd administers the payment of wages to workers on behalf of its clients, it acts as agent; revenue is the fee to which it is entitled, and the wages and withholding amounts paid on behalf of clients are not included in revenue.
Telecommunications connection services. Connect Simple Pty Ltd earns commissions from telecommunications carriers and energy retailers for arranging connections for customers. It does not control the connection services before they are transferred and acts as agent, recognising as revenue the commission to which it is entitled from the carrier or retailer when the connection is made. Commissions payable by Connect Simple to referral partners are recognised in cost of services.
Amounts invoiced or received before the related performance obligation is satisfied are recognised as contract liabilities. Amounts for which the Group has a right to consideration for performance completed but which have not been invoiced are recognised as unbilled receivables. Payment terms are generally between 30 and 90 days, and the Group’s contracts do not include a significant financing component.
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are not retranslated. Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss, except for differences arising on the translation of foreign operations, which are recognised in other comprehensive income.
Income tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, together with any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses can be utilised.
Property, plant and equipment
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the cost of each asset over its estimated useful life. Useful lives and residual values are reviewed annually.
| F-10 |
| Braiin Limited and Controlled Entities |
Investment property
Investment property comprises land and buildings held to earn rental income or for capital appreciation, or both, and not occupied by the Group. Investment property is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are recognised at cost. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognised at acquisition-date fair value. Software and related licences are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives from the date the asset is available for use. Useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed annually.
Leases
At inception the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability are recognised at the commencement date. The lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments not yet paid, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, where that rate cannot be readily determined, the incremental borrowing rate. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, comprising the initial lease liability, lease payments made at or before commencement, initial direct costs and restoration obligations, less lease incentives received, and is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the useful life of the underlying asset. The Group applies the recognition exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, recognising the associated payments as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their present location and condition.
Financial assets
Financial assets are classified at initial recognition as measured at amortised cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income, or at fair value through profit or loss, depending on the Group’s business model for managing the asset and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the asset. Financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus, for assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows expire or are transferred together with substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortised cost. For trade receivables, unbilled receivables and contract assets the Group applies the simplified approach and recognises lifetime expected credit losses from initial recognition, estimated using a provision matrix based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience adjusted for forward-looking factors. For other financial assets the loss allowance is measured at twelve-month expected credit losses unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, in which case lifetime expected credit losses are recognised.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities at amortised cost are initially measured at fair value net of directly attributable transaction costs and subsequently measured using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires.
Compound and hybrid instruments
Where a financial instrument contains an embedded derivative, the Group assesses whether the embedded derivative is closely related to the host contract. Embedded derivatives that are not closely related are separated and measured at fair value through profit or loss. Convertible notes, loan facilities and promissory notes issued by the Group are assessed on this basis.
Impairment of non-financial assets
At each reporting date the Group assesses whether there is any indication that a non-financial asset may be impaired. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually regardless of indicators. Where an indicator exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated as the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. Where the asset does not generate independent cash inflows, recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which it belongs.

| Braiin Limited and Controlled Entities |
Provisions
A provision is recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be reliably estimated. Employee benefit provisions for wages, salaries, annual leave and long service leave are measured in accordance with IAS 19.
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of tax.
Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with non-employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, or, where that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the goods or services are received. The corresponding credit is recognised in equity. Where the instruments vest immediately and no service period remains, the expense is recognised in full at the measurement date.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
4. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. The matters below have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in these consolidated financial statements.
Accounting for the acquisitions of 12 February 2026
The
acquisitions have been accounted for provisionally, because the purchase price allocations had not been finalised at the date these consolidated
financial statements were authorised for issue. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognised at provisional amounts, being
management’s best estimate of their fair values at 12 February 2026 on the information available. Those amounts start from the
balance sheet of each acquired entity at 12 February 2026 and are adjusted where that information showed that fair value differed from
carrying amount. In particular, trade receivables are measured net of lifetime expected credit losses, with balances outstanding for
more than 365 days provided in full; the investments of VIS Networks Private Limited in equity securities and mutual funds are measured
at fair value; the work in progress of VIS Networks Private Limited, its advance billing from vendors on vendor invoices dated before
12 February 2026 or with no invoice date recorded, and its service stock held at Bangalore are measured at nil; employee entitlements,
revenue cut-off and other accruals are brought up to 12 February 2026. The remaining assets and liabilities, principally monetary items,
are recognised at their carrying amounts, which management has assessed as approximating fair value. No intangible assets have been recognised
separately from goodwill other than software of USD

Subscription shares issued to shareholders and employees of VIS Networks Private Limited
On 6 February 2026, the Company entered into a separate subscription agreement with certain shareholders of VIS Networks Private Limited and persons to whom those shareholders directed part of their entitlement. Under the agreement, ordinary shares were issued on 12 February 2026, the acquisition date.
The subscription agreement was separate from the agreements under which the VIS group was acquired and the shares were not legally issued as consideration under those agreements. However, because the subscription was available only to shareholders of the acquiree and persons designated by them, was completed concurrently with the acquisition and the economic benefit of the arrangement accrued to those persons, the Group determined that, for purposes of IFRS 3 acquisition accounting, the fair value attributable to the shares forms part of the consideration transferred for the VIS group.
The
shares were measured at USD per share, being the price at which an unrelated investor subscribed for shares immediately before
the acquisition. Accordingly, USD
The shares vested on issue, and release from the lock-up, as to one half after twelve months and one half after twenty-four months, does not depend on continued employment (IFRS 3.B55(a)); the value, including that received by employees at the direction of the shareholders, is therefore not remuneration for post-combination services under IFRS 3.B54–B55, and no share-based payment expense arises (IFRS 2.5). The value was transferred to the subscribers as owners of the acquiree, or at the direction of those owners, and not as shareholders of the Company, and is not a distribution. Refer to Notes 35 and 37.
Identification of the acquirer
Judgement is required to identify the accounting acquirer in each transaction, particularly where consideration is settled in the Company’s own shares and where the transactions occurred contemporaneously with the Nasdaq listing.
Measurement of ordinary shares issued at USD per share
The services received from consultants and advisers were agreed in exchange for a fixed number of ordinary shares, with no cash fee or cash alternative. The Group has concluded that the fair value of those services cannot be estimated reliably and has measured them by reference to the fair value of the shares issued, at USD per share, the price at which an unrelated investor subscribed for shares for cash on 11 February 2026. Refer to Note 10.
All ordinary shares issued on 11 and 12 February 2026, as consideration for the acquisitions, under the subscription agreement with shareholders of VIS Networks Private Limited and for services, are measured at USD per share. The Company’s shares were admitted to The Nasdaq Global Market by direct listing on 12 February 2026 and had no quoted price before that date. USD is the price at which an unrelated investor subscribed for shares for cash on 11 February 2026, the most recent transaction in the Company’s shares for cash. The consideration shares and the subscription shares are subject to lock-up arrangements of up to twenty-four months. The lock-ups are contractual undertakings given by the holders to the Company that would not pass to a market participant acquiring the shares; they are not a characteristic of the shares under IFRS 13.11, and no discount for lack of marketability has been applied. A price 10 percent lower would have reduced the consideration transferred and goodwill by USD , and the amounts recognised for services settled in shares by USD , with a corresponding reduction in issued capital.
Recoverability of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised only where it is probable that future taxable profits will be available. This requires an estimate of future taxable profits in each tax jurisdiction. Refer to Note 12.
Expected credit losses
The loss allowance on trade and unbilled receivables is estimated using a provision matrix informed by historical loss experience and forward-looking information. Refer to Notes 15 and 40.
Revenue recognition over time
Judgement is applied in determining whether performance obligations are satisfied over time or at a point in time, in identifying distinct performance obligations within bundled arrangements, and in measuring progress towards satisfaction of obligations recognised over time. For each of the Group’s material revenue streams the judgements are as follows.
Sale of equipment and software licences (VIS businesses). Each item specified in the purchase order is a distinct performance obligation satisfied at a point in time, when control passes to the customer on delivery or, where the contract requires it, on acceptance. Where equipment is sold with installation or maintenance, the transaction price is allocated to each element on the basis of its stand-alone selling price, and the installation and maintenance elements are recognised as described below.
| F-13 |
| Braiin Limited and Controlled Entities |
Annual maintenance and warranty support (VIS businesses). The support is a stand-ready obligation from which the customer benefits evenly over the contract year, and revenue is recognised on a straight-line basis over that term. Amounts invoiced in advance for the current, following and earlier contract years are carried as contract liabilities until recognised (Note 31).
Installation, integration and managed network services (VIS businesses), and technology consulting and workforce services (Vega group). These services are satisfied over time because the customer receives and consumes the benefit as the Group performs. Progress is measured using the amount the Group has a right to invoice, as permitted by IFRS 15 paragraph B16, where that amount corresponds directly with the value to the customer of performance completed to date, as for time-and-materials arrangements, contractor hours and monthly service charges. Services performed but not yet invoiced at the reporting date are recognised as unbilled receivables.
Payroll administration services (Nisus Payroll Pty Ltd). The fee is recognised over time as each payroll is processed. Nisus Payroll acts as agent, and wages and withholding amounts paid on behalf of clients are not included in revenue.
Telecommunications connection services (Connect Simple Pty Ltd). The commission is recognised at the point in time the connection is made, which is when Connect Simple has satisfied its obligation to the carrier or retailer.
Principal versus agent
Judgement is required to determine whether the Group acts as principal or agent where another party is involved in providing goods or services to the customer, in particular for sales of equipment and software licences, for annual maintenance contracts supported by back-to-back cover from original equipment manufacturers, for contractor and payroll services, and for telecommunications and energy connections. The Group’s conclusions are set out in the revenue accounting policy in Note 3.
Lease term and incremental borrowing rate
Determining the lease term requires judgement as to whether extension options are reasonably certain to be exercised. Where the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the incremental borrowing rate is estimated by reference to what the Group would pay to borrow on similar terms.
Classification and measurement of promissory notes, loan facilities and SAFE instruments
The Group has issued instruments whose settlement depends on the occurrence of a listing or other liquidity event. Judgement is required to determine whether the instrument is a financial liability or equity, whether an embedded derivative requires separation, and how modifications to terms are accounted for.
Going concern
The assessment of the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern requires judgement about the timing and availability of future funding and about forecast operating cash flows. Refer to Note 2.5.
Impairment of non-financial assets
The identification of cash-generating units and the estimation of recoverable amount require significant judgement, particularly for the businesses acquired during the year. Refer to Note 26.
5. New and amended accounting standards
Standards adopted in the current year
The Group has applied all new and amended IFRS Accounting Standards effective for annual reporting periods beginning on 1 July 2025. Those relevant to the Group are the amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates on lack of exchangeability, which introduce requirements for estimating a spot rate where a currency is not exchangeable into another currency, and the annual improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards — Volume 11. Neither had a material effect on the amounts recognised or the disclosures presented. The currencies in which the Group transacts were exchangeable throughout the period.
Standards issued but not yet effective
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027 and will apply to the Group from the year ending 30 June 2028. IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 and introduces defined categories and required subtotals in the statement of profit or loss, requirements for disclosure of management-defined performance measures, and enhanced requirements for the aggregation and disaggregation of information. The Group is assessing the effect. The standard is expected to change the presentation of the statement of profit or loss and the related disclosures but is not expected to change the amounts recognised.
| F-14 |
| Braiin Limited and Controlled Entities |
The Group has assessed the effect of IFRS 18 in the following areas. The statement of profit or loss will be reorganised into the operating, investing and financing categories defined by the standard, with the required operating profit and profit before financing and income tax subtotals presented. Finance costs and finance income, presently shown below operating loss, will fall within the financing category. The share of results of equity-accounted investments and income from investments in subsidiaries will fall within the investing category. Management-defined performance measures used in communications with investors will require disclosure in a single note with a reconciliation to the most directly comparable IFRS subtotal, and the Group is identifying which of the measures it presents fall within that definition. The enhanced aggregation and disaggregation requirements are expected to require further disaggregation of administrative and other expenses and of other financial liabilities. IFRS 18 will not change the amounts recognised, the Group’s net assets or its cash flows.
IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027. It permits an eligible subsidiary that does not have public accountability, and whose parent produces consolidated financial statements under IFRS Accounting Standards, to apply reduced disclosure requirements. It will not affect these consolidated financial statements.
The amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026, clarify the derecognition of financial liabilities settled through electronic payment systems and the assessment of contractual cash flow characteristics for instruments with contingent features. The Group is assessing whether the contingent features in its promissory notes, in particular the trigger event provisions described at Note 33, fall within the scope of the clarified guidance. No other standard or amendment issued but not yet effective is expected to have a material effect on the Group.

Allocation of listing costs between profit or loss and equity
IAS 32 paragraph 37 requires the transaction costs of an equity transaction to be accounted for as a deduction from equity only to the extent that they are incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new equity instruments. Costs that relate to the listing of shares already on issue, and costs that would have been incurred regardless of whether new shares were issued, are recognised in profit or loss.
The admission of the Company’s shares on 12 February 2026 was a direct listing. No new shares were issued to the public and no proceeds were raised on admission, and accordingly no underwriting, broking or placement fees were incurred in connection with it. The shares issued during the year for cash — the placement to Advaitha Pty Ltd, a related party (Note 42), on 1 September 2025 and to Jasmeet Singh, an unrelated third party, on 11 February 2026 — were privately placed and did not give rise to incremental costs beyond the amounts already reflected in those transactions. The costs of the listing were therefore incurred to admit existing shares to quotation rather than to issue new equity instruments, and no amount has been deducted from equity. The whole of the listing costs is recognised in profit or loss.
Acquisition-related costs of the business combinations completed on 12 February 2026 are recognised in profit or loss as incurred, as required by IFRS 3 paragraph 53, and are not included in the consideration transferred.

Measurement
IFRS 2 paragraph 13 presumes that the fair value of services received from parties other than employees can be estimated reliably. The Group has rebutted that presumption. Each arrangement specified a number of shares rather than a price for the services; the services, being advice and support in connection with the listing and the acquisitions and purchase price allocation work, were bespoke to those transactions and have no observable market price; and no cash fee was quoted or agreed. The services have therefore been measured by reference to the fair value of the shares issued, at USD per share, being the price at which an unrelated investor subscribed for ordinary shares for cash consideration of USD on 11 February 2026, the day before the Company’s shares were admitted to quotation on The Nasdaq Global Market.
No discount for lack of marketability has been applied, including to the tranches subject to a lock-up.
The share-based payment expense recognised in profit or loss for the year is USD , on the shares issued for services set out above. It includes AUD (USD at the acquisition date) in respect of the ordinary shares issued for Mirragin RAS Consulting Pty Ltd and provided to the broker of the vendors, which is a cost of the Group arising on the acquisition date and is excluded from the consideration transferred (Note 37). The corresponding credit has been made directly to issued capital, no share-based payment reserve being required as the shares were fully issued and vested at the measurement date with no residual service period.

Trade receivables are high relative to the revenue recognised in the year because revenue is recognised only from 12 February 2026, while the balance includes receivables acquired on that date that remain outstanding, principally from government and banking customers of VIS Networks Private Limited, and amounts invoiced in advance under annual maintenance contracts, for which the corresponding consideration is recognised as a contract liability (Note 31).

| Resource and managed services delivered but not yet billed — VIS India | ||||||||
| Services delivered but not yet billed — VIS international sub-group | ||||||||
| Accrued income receivable — Connect Simple, Vega group and VIS India sub-groups | ||||||||
Unbilled receivables are contract assets representing the Group’s right to consideration for services performed before the reporting date where the right is conditional on something other than the passage of time, principally the completion of a billing cycle or the achievement of a contractual milestone. The VIS India balance arises on resource and managed service engagements billed monthly in arrears. The Vega balance arises on unmanned systems consulting and training engagements billed on completion of defined deliverables.
Amounts
are transferred to trade receivables when the right to consideration becomes unconditional and an invoice is issued, which for substantially
all of the balance occurs within one to two months of the reporting date. Unbilled receivables are measured at lifetime expected credit
losses under the simplified approach. As they are invoiced within one to two months of the reporting date, their credit risk is assessed
as equivalent to that of trade receivables in the up to 90 days band of the provision matrix (Note 40). Applying the loss rate of

The
largest component is the cost of annual maintenance and warranty support cover purchased from equipment vendors. The VIS businesses sell
annual maintenance contracts to their customers and purchase matching back-to-back cover from the original equipment manufacturers, paying
the vendor in advance for the contract term. The cost is carried as a prepayment and released to cost of services over the term of the
cover, matching the release of the corresponding customer receipts held as contract liabilities at Note 31. The two balances therefore
move together: advance maintenance costs of USD
Advances to vendors of USD 831,498 represent amounts paid for equipment and services ordered against confirmed customer orders but not delivered at the reporting date. They are released to cost of materials or cost of services on delivery. The advance billing from vendors of VIS Networks Private Limited on vendor invoices dated before 12 February 2026, or with no invoice date recorded, was not recoverable and was measured at nil at the acquisition date (Note 37).

Inventories comprise telecom and networking equipment procured for resale to customers, service and spare parts held at the Bangalore, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Gurgaon, Chennai and Gujarat service locations to support annual maintenance obligations. Equipment is procured against confirmed customer orders rather than held for general stock, which limits the exposure to obsolescence. Demonstration equipment is held for customer evaluation and is transferred to cost of materials when sold or written down when withdrawn from use.
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value, cost being determined on a weighted average basis. No write-down to net realisable value was recognised during the period and no previous write-down was reversed. No inventories are pledged as security other than under the general security granted to Streeterville Capital, LLC described at Note 33.

The
investment property comprises land and a commercial building held by VIS Networks Private Limited in India and acquired by the Group
on 12 February 2026. It is held to earn rental income and for capital appreciation and is not occupied by the Group. The property is
measured under the cost model. The building is depreciated on a straight-line basis over 60 years; land is not depreciated. The depreciation

The Directors have assessed the fair value of the investment property and consider that it is not materially different from its carrying amount at 30 June 2026. No independent valuation has been obtained. The valuation technique is the market approach: the assessment is based on the price at which the property was carried in the accounts of VIS Networks Private Limited at the acquisition date and on management’s knowledge of comparable transactions in the local market. The prices of those comparable transactions are the significant unobservable input; a higher price for comparable properties would result in a higher fair value. The fair value measurement is categorised within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy (Note 39).
Rental income earned from the investment property during the period from 12 February 2026 to 30 June 2026, and the direct operating expenses arising from it, were not material. The investment property is subject to a registered mortgage in favour of Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited securing a loan against property made to VIS Networks Private Limited, included in borrowings from banks at Note 33, and rental income from the property is required to be paid into an account with that bank. There are no contractual obligations to purchase, construct or develop it or to carry out repairs, maintenance or enhancements. Real property is expressly excluded from the collateral granted to Streeterville Capital, LLC.

The

date. The goodwill of the VIS group of USD
The recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit has been determined as fair value less costs of disposal. Fair value is measured by reference to the price paid for each unit in the arm’s-length acquisitions of 12 February 2026, together with the non-controlling interests in the unit at that date, which was determined at USD per share, the price at which the Company last raised funds, translated at the closing rate. It is rolled forward for the 138 days to 30 June 2026 for the time value of money at the US dollar risk-free rate of 4.7 percent per annum, with no return for the risks of the businesses included. Value in use has not been determined, the recoverable amount determined as fair value less costs of disposal exceeding the carrying amount of each unit (IAS 36 paragraph 19).

The investments in equity securities and mutual funds are measured at fair value through profit or loss and are categorised within the fair value hierarchy as follows.

| Level 1 — government securities (VIS Philippines) | ||||||||
| Level 2 — units in ten open-ended mutual funds | ||||||||
| Level 3 — units in alternative investment funds | ||||||||
Level 1. The quoted equity shares are measured at their quoted market price on the National Stock Exchange of India at 30 June 2026. The government securities are measured at their quoted price.
Level 2. The units in open-ended mutual funds are measured at the net asset value per unit published daily by the fund managers. The net asset value is observable but is not a quoted price for the units in an active market, and the units are therefore categorised within Level 2 (IFRS 13 paragraphs 81 and 82).

Contract liabilities represent consideration received or receivable from customers in advance of the satisfaction of the related performance obligation. Substantially all of the balance arises on annual maintenance and warranty support contracts sold by the VIS businesses, under which the customer pays for a full contract year in advance and the Group provides support over that year. Revenue is recognised evenly over the contract term as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit. The matching cost of back-to-back vendor cover is carried within prepayments at Note 17 and released on the same basis.

Measurement at amortised cost
Each note was recognised initially at the cash proceeds received less the placement fee paid to Maxim Group LLC, being a transaction cost directly attributable to the issue of the note, and is subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Because the original issue discount, the transaction expense amount and the placement fee are deducted in arriving at the initial carrying amount while interest accretes on the full principal, the effective rate materially exceeds the 9 percent coupon.

Security granted to Streeterville
The notes are secured by a Security Agreement and an Intellectual Property Security Agreement, both dated 12 February 2026 and both governed by the laws of the State of Utah. The debtors under each are Braiin Limited, Braiin LLC, Raptor300 Inc, Connect Simple Pty Ltd and VIS Networks Private Limited. A guaranty is given by all subsidiaries of Braiin Limited.
Each debtor grants a first-position security interest which ranks pari passu with the security interests securing existing secured debt of that debtor in favour of a third party disclosed to Streeterville before the date of the agreement. The security interest secures all obligations owed to Streeterville of every kind, including future advances, so the same collateral secures both notes notwithstanding that the second note was issued on 10 March 2026.
The collateral is all assets of each debtor, whether then owned or afterwards acquired, and includes equity interests in all subsidiaries, customer accounts and rights under insurance contracts, goods and equipment, inventory, accounts receivable and general intangibles including all intellectual property, contract rights and royalties, and documents, cash, deposit accounts and investment property. Real property is expressly excluded. The intellectual property agreement grants security over the patents, patent applications and trademarks scheduled to it and is recordable with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

The VIS group comprises VIS Networks Private Limited and VIS Global PTE Ltd and their subsidiaries and branch, and the Vega group comprises Vega Global Technologies Pty Ltd and its subsidiaries, including the Mirragin and Nisus businesses.
The acquisitions established the Group’s network infrastructure, systems integration and managed services business in India and internationally, its unmanned systems consulting, training and workforce services business in Australia and its telecommunications connection services business in Australia, and provide the operating base for the deployment of the Group’s technology platform.
Pending completion of the purchase price allocations, the goodwill arising on each acquisition includes the value of the intangible assets of the acquired businesses, which will be recognised separately from goodwill when the allocations are finalised, together with the assembled workforce and the synergies expected from integrating the acquired businesses with the Group’s technology platform. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
The
non-controlling interests in the subsidiaries within the VIS group that are not wholly owned, and in Project Isidore Pty Ltd, were measured
at their proportionate share of the identifiable net assets of each subsidiary at the acquisition date. Mirragin RAS Consulting Pty Ltd
holds 60 percent of Project Isidore Pty Ltd, whose only asset at the acquisition date was a loan of USD
The
fair value of trade and unbilled receivables acquired was USD
Acquisition-related costs of USD , being the legal services incurred by the Company, are included in professional services in profit or loss and in operating cash flows in the statement of cash flows.

cash outflow on the acquisitions presented in the statement of cash flows, net of cash acquired, of USD
The initial accounting for the acquisitions is incomplete because the purchase price allocations, including the identification and measurement of intangible assets, had not been finalised at the date these consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue. The amounts recognised for the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the non-controlling interests and goodwill are provisional. The Group will complete the accounting within the measurement period of twelve months from the acquisition date permitted by IFRS 3 paragraph 45 and will adjust the provisional amounts retrospectively, recognising separately from goodwill any intangible assets identified, together with the related deferred tax and amortisation from the acquisition date.

The revenue and profit or loss of the Group for the year as though the acquisition date for the business combinations had been 1 July 2025 are not disclosed. The acquired businesses did not prepare financial information in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards and the Group’s accounting policies for the period from 1 July 2025 to 12 February 2026, and it is impracticable to prepare that information reliably.

Fair value hierarchy
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, unbilled receivables, other financial assets, trade payables, other financial liabilities and short-term borrowings approximates fair value because of their short maturity. The investment in Merykh Technologies Private Limited is accounted for using the equity method and is not measured at fair value.
Assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value are categorised within the fair value hierarchy on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement as a whole. There were no transfers between levels during the year.
Level 1 — quoted prices, unadjusted, in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The quoted equity shares and the government securities set out at Note 27 are categorised within Level 1.
Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, directly or indirectly. The units in open-ended mutual funds set out at Note 27, measured at the net asset value published daily by the fund managers, are categorised within Level 2.
| F-47 |
| Braiin Limited and Controlled Entities |
Level 3 — inputs that are not based on observable market data. The units in alternative investment funds set out at Note 27 are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs; the valuation techniques, the significant unobservable inputs and the movement in the year are set out at Note 27. The fair value of the investment property, which is disclosed at Note 22 but not recognised, is categorised within Level 3 because it is based on management’s knowledge of comparable transactions in the local market rather than on observable prices for identical properties.
40. Financial risk management
The Group is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, being foreign currency risk and interest rate risk. Risk management is carried out under policies approved by the Board of Directors.
Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents held with banks and financial institutions, and from credit exposures to customers including outstanding trade and unbilled receivables. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amount of its financial assets. Cash is held with reputable financial institutions in each jurisdiction in which the Group operates.
Expected credit losses on trade receivables and unbilled receivables
The Group applies the simplified approach in IFRS 9 and measures the loss allowance on trade receivables and unbilled receivables at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses, using a provision matrix based on the historical loss experience of each sub-group adjusted for forward-looking information. The loss allowance on trade receivables at 30 June 2026 was determined as follows.
| USD | Gross carrying amount | Loss allowance | ||||||

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will be unable to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group manages liquidity by monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and by maintaining access to funding through equity issues and borrowing facilities.

Foreign currency risk
The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign currency risk on monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity that holds them. At 30 June 2026 these were principally balances denominated in United States dollars held by the Company, whose functional currency is the Australian dollar, being the promissory notes and the deferred consideration, and smaller United States dollar balances held by Group entities whose functional currencies are the Indian rupee, the Philippine peso, the United Arab Emirates dirham and the Omani rial. The Group did not hedge its foreign currency exposure during the year.
The following table shows the effect on loss before tax and on equity of a 10 percent strengthening or weakening of each functional currency against the United States dollar, applied to the United States dollar monetary assets and liabilities held at the reporting date by Group entities with that functional currency, with all other variables held constant. A positive amount is a decrease in the loss before tax and an increase in equity. No tax effect is recognised, so the effect on equity is equal to the effect on loss before tax.

Interest rate risk
The
Group’s exposure to interest rate risk arises principally from its borrowings. The Streeterville promissory notes, the Advaitha

The analysis assumes the variable rate borrowings outstanding at 30 June 2026 were outstanding for a full year, with all other variables held constant. The Group did not use interest rate derivatives during the year.
41. Capital management
The Group manages its capital to ensure it can continue as a going concern while providing returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders. Capital comprises equity attributable to owners of the parent together with the Group’s borrowings. The Board reviews the capital structure regularly, having regard to the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital.
The
Group is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. The Streeterville promissory notes and the Advaitha note purchase agreement
do not contain financial covenants requiring the maintenance of specified ratios or levels of net assets, earnings or liquidity. They
contain the trigger events described at Note 33, which include non-payment, insolvency, an unvacated money judgment exceeding USD

The Company entered into a share sale agreement on 8 December 2025 to acquire percent of Connect Simple Pty Ltd from Gomazz Pty Ltd as trustee for the Georgiou Family Trust, which was then the sole shareholder and an unrelated party.

Following those issues Mr Saligrama held, directly and through Advaitha, approximately percent of Connect Simple, and Gomazz Pty Ltd held percent.
On settlement of the share sale agreement on 12 February 2026 an aggregate of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company were issued at the agreed reference price of USD per share, subject to a twelve-month lock-up. Control of Connect Simple passed to the Group on 12 February 2026, on completion of the listing, which is the acquisition date (Note 37). The consideration shares were allocated in accordance with the post-restructure ownership of Connect Simple. Mr Saligrama is President, Chief Operating Officer and a Director of the Company.

Exhibit 2.1
DESCRIPTION
OF SECURITIES REGISTERED UNDER SECTION 12 OF THE
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
As of June 30, 2026, Braiin Limited (the “Company”) had one class of securities registered under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended: its ordinary shares, which are listed on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “BRAI”.
The following is a summary of the material terms of the ordinary shares, of the Company’s constitution and of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (the “Corporations Act”) as they relate to the ordinary shares. It does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the constitution, which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the annual report on Form 20-F to which this description is an exhibit, and to the Corporations Act and other applicable Australian law.
Type and class of securities
The Company is a public company limited by shares, registered in Western Australia under the Corporations Act with Australian Company Number 660 713 093. Its constitution does not limit its objects or purposes. Australian law does not provide for authorized share capital or par value, and the Company’s ordinary shares have no par value. As of June 30, 2026, 206,088,228 ordinary shares were issued and outstanding, all of which were fully paid. On November 10, 2025 the Company effected a 4:1 subdivision of its ordinary shares, and on April 28, 2026 a further 3:1 subdivision.
Issue of shares
Subject to the Corporations Act and the constitution, and to any special rights attaching to existing shares, unissued shares are under the control of the directors, who may issue ordinary shares or shares of any other class, at the issue price and with the preferred, deferred or other special rights or restrictions as to dividends, voting, return of capital or otherwise that the directors determine. The directors may also issue options over shares. The constitution permits the Company to issue preference shares, including redeemable preference shares, on the terms set out in Schedule 1 to the constitution. As of June 30, 2026, no preference shares were on issue.
Rights attaching to ordinary shares
Voting rights. Each ordinary share carries the right to receive notice of, attend and vote at general meetings. On a show of hands, each shareholder present in person or by proxy, attorney or corporate representative has one vote. On a poll, each shareholder has one vote for each fully paid ordinary share held. A poll may be demanded by the chairman, by at least five shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution, or by shareholders holding at least 5 percent of the votes that may be cast on the resolution, and the chairman must demand a poll where the votes cast by proxy and direct vote may produce a different outcome from a show of hands. The chairman has a casting vote in the case of an equality of votes. The Board may permit shareholders to vote by direct vote, without attending the meeting. There is no cumulative voting.
Dividends. Subject to the Corporations Act and the rights of holders of any shares with special dividend rights, the directors may determine that a dividend, including an interim dividend, is payable and fix the amount, the time for determining entitlements and the time and method of payment. Under section 254T of the Corporations Act, a dividend may be paid only if the Company’s assets exceed its liabilities immediately before the dividend is declared and the excess is sufficient for payment of the dividend, the payment is fair and reasonable to shareholders as a whole, and the payment does not materially prejudice the Company’s ability to pay its creditors. A dividend is payable to the registered holder at the time fixed by the directors for determining entitlements. Dividends do not carry interest against the Company. The directors may pay a dividend wholly or partly by the distribution of specific assets, including shares or other securities. Dividends unclaimed for one year after being declared may be invested or otherwise used by the directors for the Company’s benefit until claimed.
Winding up. If the Company is wound up, subject to the rights of holders of any shares with special rights in a winding up and to the Corporations Act, the money and property to be distributed among shareholders are distributed in proportion to the number of shares held by them, irrespective of the amount paid up or credited as paid up on the shares. With the authority of a special resolution, the liquidator may divide all or part of the Company’s property among shareholders in kind, or vest it in trustees for their benefit.
Redemption, conversion and pre-emptive rights. The ordinary shares carry no redemption, conversion or sinking fund rights and no pre-emptive rights.
Calls, lien and forfeiture. The ordinary shares on issue are fully paid and are not subject to further calls by the Company. The constitution permits the directors to make calls on the amounts unpaid on any partly paid shares, and shares on which a call remains unpaid may be forfeited. The Company has a lien on shares for amounts owed to the Company in respect of them, and is entitled to be indemnified by a shareholder for any amount it is required by law to pay in respect of that shareholder’s shares, including taxes and duties, with a lien over dividends and other amounts payable on those shares.
Variation of class rights
Rights attaching to a class of shares may be varied or cancelled only by special resolution of the Company and either a special resolution passed at a meeting of the holders of that class or the written consent of holders of at least 75 percent of the issued shares of that class, in accordance with section 246B of the Corporations Act. The rights attaching to a class of shares are not taken to be varied by the issue of further shares ranking equally with them, unless the terms of issue of that class provide otherwise.
General meetings
The Company must hold an annual general meeting within five months after the end of each financial year. At least 28 days’ notice of a general meeting must be given to shareholders. A quorum is shareholders present in person, by proxy, attorney or representative holding in aggregate at least 33⅓ percent of the ordinary shares on issue. An ordinary resolution requires a simple majority of the votes cast and a special resolution requires at least 75 percent of the votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution. Any director may convene a general meeting, and shareholders holding at least 5 percent of the votes that may be cast at a general meeting may requisition a meeting under the Corporations Act.
Directors
The constitution provides for a minimum of three and a maximum of nine directors. Directors are elected by shareholders in general meeting and may be removed by resolution of shareholders. The Board may appoint a director to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the Board, and that director holds office until the next annual general meeting. At each annual general meeting one-third of the directors, other than a managing director and any director appointed by the Board since the last annual general meeting, retire by rotation and are eligible for re-election, and no director other than a managing director may hold office for more than three years without re-election. Directors are not required to hold shares. A director who has a material personal interest in a matter must give notice of that interest under section 191 of the Corporations Act and, unless the Corporations Act or the constitution permits otherwise, must not be present while the matter is considered or vote on it.
Changes in capital
Subject to the Corporations Act, the Company may by ordinary resolution consolidate or subdivide its shares, issue shares and cancel shares that have not been taken or agreed to be taken or that have been forfeited. The Company may reduce its share capital, and may buy back its own shares, in accordance with the Corporations Act, which requires shareholder approval for certain capital reductions and buy-backs.
Transfer of shares
Ordinary shares may be transferred in any manner permitted by the Corporations Act and the constitution, including by an instrument in writing in any usual form or any other form approved by the directors. The constitution was originally prepared in a form used by companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”). The Company is not admitted to the official list of ASX and, under the transitional provisions of the constitution, its provisions relating to quotation on ASX, including those referring to the ASX Listing Rules, the ASX settlement rules, restricted securities and the sale of holdings of less than a marketable parcel, do not have effect. Ordinary shares held by certain shareholders are subject to contractual lock-up or escrow arrangements, which restrict their transfer for periods ending up to twenty-four months from February 12, 2026.
Limitations on ownership
Neither the constitution nor Australian law restricts the ownership of ordinary shares by non-residents of Australia, or their right to hold or vote those shares, other than as described below. The Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975 (Cth) may require a foreign person to obtain prior approval before acquiring a substantial interest in the Company. Australia does not currently impose general exchange controls on the payment of dividends or the remittance of capital to non-residents, although payments to certain countries, entities and persons are restricted under Australian sanctions laws.
Takeovers, change of control and disclosure of shareholdings
Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act prohibits a person from acquiring a relevant interest in issued voting shares of the Company if, as a result, that person’s or another person’s voting power increases from 20 percent or below to more than 20 percent, or from a starting point above 20 percent and below 90 percent, unless an exception applies. The principal exceptions are acquisitions under a takeover bid, under a court-approved scheme of arrangement, with the approval of shareholders in general meeting, and acquisitions of not more than 3 percent in any six-month period. A bidder who acquires at least 90 percent may compulsorily acquire the remaining shares under Chapter 6A.
The constitution provides that, if a proportional takeover bid is made for the Company’s shares, the registration of transfers resulting from the bid is prohibited unless a resolution approving the bid is passed by the holders of the shares in the bid class, other than the bidder and its associates, before the fourteenth day before the end of the bid period. If no resolution is voted on by that deadline, the bid is taken to have been approved. Under the Corporations Act, this provision ceases to have effect three years after its adoption or last renewal unless renewed by special resolution.
A person who begins to have, or ceases to have, a substantial holding of 5 percent or more of the voting shares of the Company, or whose substantial holding changes by 1 percent or more, must give notice to the Company under section 671B of the Corporations Act. The constitution contains no other provision that would have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring, and no provision that discriminates against any existing or prospective holder of ordinary shares as a result of that holder owning a substantial number of shares.
Transfer agent and registrar
The Company’s share register is maintained by VStock Transfer, LLC, 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, New York 11598, United States.
Listing
The ordinary shares are listed on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “BRAI”.
Material differences from United States law
Material differences between the rights of holders of ordinary shares under Australian law and the rights that would apply under the law of a United States state include the following:
| ● | Shareholders may bring a derivative action on behalf of the Company only with the leave of the court under Part 2F.1A of the Corporations Act. |
| ● | Because the Company has more than 50 members, the takeover provisions of Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act apply. They generally prohibit a person from acquiring a relevant interest in more than 20 percent of the voting shares other than through a permitted method, such as a takeover bid or with shareholder approval. |
| ● | Directors are elected and removed by ordinary resolution of shareholders, and one-third of the directors retire by rotation at each annual general meeting. |

A. Company and Investor are executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance upon exemptions from the disclosure and registration requirements under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and any applicable securities laws, including exemptions applicable to offers made to sophisticated investors, professional investors, or otherwise exempt persons. The parties acknowledge that the securities the subject of this Agreement are being issued in reliance on those exemptions and in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations administered by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).
B. Investor desires to purchase and Company desires to issue and sell, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement: a Secured Promissory Note, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, in the original principal amount of USD$12,000,000.00 (the “Note”).
C. This Agreement, the Note, the Security Agreement (as defined below), the Pledge Agreement (as defined below), the Guaranty (as defined below), all security documents to be executed in respect of the Indian Subsidiaries (including VIS Networks Pvt. Ltd) as contemplated by Section 1.5, and all other certificates, documents, agreements, resolutions and instruments delivered to any party under or in connection with this Agreement, as the same may be amended from time to time (including any amendments executed pursuant to the Company’s obligation to perfect the Investor’s security interests), are collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents”.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Company and Investor hereby agree as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale of Note.
1.1. Purchase of Note. Company shall issue and sell to Investor and Investor shall purchase from Company the Note. In consideration thereof, Investor shall pay the Purchase Price (as defined below) to Company.
1.2. Form of Payment. On the Closing Date (as defined below), Investor shall pay the Purchase Price to Company via wire transfer of immediately available funds against delivery of the Note.
1.3. This Agreement shall be executed and become effective as of the date it is signed by the parties (the “Effective Date”). Subject to the satisfaction (or written waiver) of the conditions set forth in Sections 5 and 6 below, the issuance and sale of the Note pursuant to this Agreement shall occur on the first date (the “Initial Listing Date”) that Company’s ordinary shares, no par value per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), trade on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”, andsuch date, the “Closing Date”). In the event the Initial Listing Date has not occurred on or before February 13, 2026, Investor may terminate this Agreement, and all obligations of Investor hereunder shall thereupon be void and of no further force or effect. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall occur on the Closing Date by means of the exchange of electronic signatures and/or electronic delivery of documents and shall be deemed for all purposes to have occurred at the registered offices of the Company.

8.4. Outbound Investment Status. Company represents and warrants to Investor, as of the Closing Date, that: Company is not a “covered foreign person” under 31 C.F.R. § 850.209. Furthermore, Company does not currently engage, and has no intention to engage, in any “covered activity” or “covered transaction” (as defined in 31 C.F.R. §§ 850.208 and 850.210) that would result in a “notifiable transaction” or a “prohibited transaction” (as defined in 31 C.F.R. § 850.217 and 850.224), or that would otherwise violate, or cause Investor to violate, any “Outbound Investment Law.” For purposes of this Agreement, “Outbound Investment Law” refers to any legal requirement related to the “Outbound Investment Regulations” (31 C.F.R. §§ 850.101–850.904) and Executive Order 14105.
9. Miscellaneous. The provisions set forth in this Section 9 shall apply to this Agreement, as well as all other Transaction Documents as if these terms were fully set forth therein; provided, however, that in the event there is a conflict between any provision set forth in this Section 9 and any provision in any other Transaction Document, the provision in such other Transaction Document shall govern.
9.1. Arbitration of Claims. The parties shall submit all Claims (as defined in Exhibit G) arising under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other agreement between the parties and their affiliates or any Claim relating to the relationship of the parties to binding arbitration pursuant to the arbitration provisions set forth in Exhibit G attached hereto (the “Arbitration Provisions”). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the injunctive relief described in Section 9.3 below may be pursued in an arbitration that is separate and apart from any other arbitration regarding all other Claims arising under the Transaction Documents or, at Investor’s election in its sole discretion, may be pursued in any court of competent jurisdiction notwithstanding the Arbitration Provisions. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Arbitration Provisions are unconditionally binding on the parties hereto and are severable from all other provisions of this Agreement. By executing this Agreement, Company represents, warrants and covenants that Company has reviewed the Arbitration Provisions carefully, consulted with legal counsel about such provisions (or waived its right to do so), understands that the Arbitration Provisions are intended to allow for the expeditious and efficient resolution of any dispute hereunder, agrees to the terms and limitations set forth in the Arbitration Provisions, and that Company will not take a position contrary to the foregoing representations. Company acknowledges and agrees that Investor may rely upon the foregoing representations and covenants of Company regarding the Arbitration Provisions.

9.2. Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws in force in the State of Victoria, Australia, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with those laws, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Each party consents to and expressly agrees that the seat and venue of any arbitration arising out of or relating to any Transaction Document, or the relationship of the parties or their affiliates, shall be Victoria, Australia, and that the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Arbitration Provisions. Without limiting the parties’ obligations to resolve disputes pursuant to the Arbitration Provisions, and solely for the purposes of any court proceedings permitted under this Agreement (including applications to compel arbitration, obtain interim relief, or recognise, enforce or set aside an arbitral award), each party: (i) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Victoria, Australia, including the Supreme Court of Victoria; (ii) agrees that any such proceedings must be brought in a court sitting in Victoria, Australia; (iii) agrees not to commence any such proceedings in any jurisdiction outside Victoria, Australia; and (iv) waives any objection on the grounds of improper venue, forum non conveniens, or any similar basis to the bringing of any such proceeding in Victoria, Australia. The Company acknowledges that the governing law and jurisdiction provisions set out in this section are material terms that have induced Investor to enter into the Transaction Documents and that, but for Company’s agreement to these provisions, Investor would not have entered into the Transaction Documents.
9.3. Specific Performance. Company acknowledges and agrees that Investor may suffer irreparable harm if Company fails to perform any material provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents in accordance with its specific terms. It is accordingly agreed that Investor shall be entitled to one or more injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement or such other Transaction Document and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which Investor may be entitled under the Transaction Documents, at law or in equity. Company specifically agrees that: (i) following an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) under the Note, Investor shall have the right to seek and receive injunctive relief from a court or an arbitrator prohibiting Company from issuing any of its Ordinary Shares or preferred stock to any party unless fifty percent (50%) of the gross proceeds received by Company in connection with such issuance are simultaneously used by Company to make a payment under the Note; (ii) following a breach of Section 4(iv) above, Investor shall have the right to seek and receive injunctive relief from a court or arbitrator invalidating such lock-up; (iii) if Company or any of its subsidiaries enters into a definitive agreement that contemplates a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Note), unless such agreement contains a closing condition that the Note are repaid in full upon consummation of the transaction or Investor has provided its written consent in a signed writing to such Fundamental Transaction, Investor shall have the right to seek and receive injunctive relief from a court or arbitrator preventing the consummation of such transaction; and (iv) if Company fails to deliver, perfect, or maintain security over related entities as required under Section 9.11, or fails to amend any Transaction Document as required to perfect such security, Investor shall have the right to seek and receive injunctive relief from a court or arbitrator compelling Company to execute, deliver, and perfect such security documents and amendments, and to take all necessary actions to grant the Investor valid, enforceable, and first-ranking security interests. Company specifically acknowledges that Investor’s right to obtain specific performance constitutes bargained for leverage and that the loss of such leverage would result in irreparable harm to Investor. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event Investor seeks to obtain an injunction from a court or an arbitrator against Company or specific performance of any provision of any Transaction Document, such action shall not be a waiver of any right of Investor under any Transaction Document, at law, or in equity, including without limitation its rights to arbitrate any Claim pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents, nor shall Investor’s pursuit of an injunction prevent Investor, under the doctrines of claim preclusion, issues preclusion, res judicata or other similar legal doctrines, from pursuing other Claims in the future in a separate arbitration

9.4. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by electronic means, including by exchange of signed PDF copies or by use of an electronic signature platform. A signature transmitted electronically, including by PDF or other electronic communication, shall be taken to be a valid and binding execution of this Agreement and shall be effective for all purposes, to the extent permitted by applicable law, including the Electronic Transactions (Victoria) Act 2000 (Vic) and any corresponding Commonwealth legislation.

Any provision hereof which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.
9.7. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Transaction Documents, contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither Company nor Investor makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. For the avoidance of doubt, all prior term sheets or other documents between Company and Investor, or any affiliate thereof, related to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (collectively, “Prior Agreements”), that may have been entered into between Company and Investor, or any affiliate thereof, are hereby null and void and deemed to be replaced in their entirety by the Transaction Documents. To the extent there is a conflict between any term set forth in any Prior Agreement and the term(s) of the Transaction Documents, the Transaction Documents shall govern.
9.8. Amendments. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by both parties hereto.

This Agreement and any of the severable rights, obligations and remedies inuring to the benefit of or to be performed by Investor hereunder may be assigned by Investor to a third party, including its affiliates, in whole or in part, without the need to obtain Company’s consent thereto.

Such indemnification obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement.
Security Over Related Entities. Within thirty (30) calendar days following the Closing Date, the Company shall procure and deliver to the Investor security over all shares and assets of any related entities of the Company (which are not covered by the Transaction Documents listed in the Exhibits), including without limitation all shares and assets of VIS Networks Pvt. Ltd (India) and any other subsidiaries, affiliates or related bodies corporate of the Company (whether incorporated in India, Australia or elsewhere). For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s obligation to deliver security extends to any related entities acquired, established, or otherwise coming under the control of the Company after the Closing Date, and the Company shall deliver such security within thirty (30) calendar days of such acquisition, establishment, or assumption of control. (a) share pledges or charges over all issued and outstanding shares in such related entities; (b) general security agreements, debentures, or charges over all present and after-acquired assets of such related entities; (c) specific charges over intellectual property, real property, and material contracts of such related entities; and (d) any other security documents reasonably required by the Investor to perfect and protect its security interest in such shares and assets.
| 10 |
All such security documents shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Investor and its legal advisors, shall be executed by the Company and each related entity (and their respective directors and officers as applicable), and shall be registered, filed, or perfected in all applicable jurisdictions as required by applicable law. The Company shall bear all costs and expenses associated with the preparation, execution, stamping, registration, perfection, maintenance, enforcement, and release (if applicable) of such security documents, including without limitation all legal fees and disbursements of the Investor’s legal advisors, filing and registration fees, stamp duties, notarization costs, translation costs (where documents must be prepared in languages other than English), and any other costs incurred in connection with creating, perfecting, maintaining, or enforcing the Investor’s security interests in any jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly amend, supplement, or execute any Transaction Document or related security document as may be reasonably required by the Investor or its legal advisors to create, perfect, maintain, or enforce the Investor’s security interests in the shares and assets of the Company and its related entities, including without limitation any amendments necessary to comply with applicable law in any relevant jurisdiction or to address any defects, ambiguities, or deficiencies identified by the Investor. The Company acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the failure to deliver such security documents within the specified timeframe; (ii) the failure to procure execution of such security documents by any related entity, director, officer, or shareholder as required; (iii) the failure to register, file, or perfect such security in any applicable jurisdiction; (iv) the failure to maintain such security in full force and effect; or (v) the failure to execute any amendments to Transaction Documents as required to perfect security, shall in each case constitute an Event of Default under the Note and other Transaction Documents, entitling the Investor to exercise all rights and remedies available under the Transaction Documents, at law, or in equity.
9.12. Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall, at the Investor’s request and at the Company’s expense, promptly execute and deliver any amendments, supplements, restatements, or other modifications to any Transaction Document, and shall cause its related entities to execute and deliver any security documents, pledges, charges, guarantees, or other instruments, as may be reasonably required by the Investor to create, perfect, maintain, protect, or enforce the Investor’s security interests and rights under the Transaction Documents, including to address any legal or regulatory requirements, defects in documentation, or changes in applicable law in any relevant jurisdiction.
| 11 |
9.13. Investor’s Rights and Remedies Cumulative. All rights, remedies, and powers conferred in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies, and shall be in addition to every other right, power, and remedy that Investor may have, whether specifically granted in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or existing at law, in equity, or by statute, and any and all such rights and remedies may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as Investor may deem expedient.
9.14. Attorneys’ Fees and Cost of Collection. In the event any suit, action or arbitration is filed by either party against the other to interpret or enforce any of the Transaction Documents, the unsuccessful party to such action agrees to pay to the prevailing party all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred therein, including the same with respect to an appeal. The “prevailing party” shall be the party in whose favor a judgment is entered, regardless of whether judgment is entered on all claims asserted by such party and regardless of the amount of the judgment; or where, due to the assertion of counterclaims, judgments are entered in favor of and against both parties, then the judge or arbitrator shall determine the “prevailing party” by taking into account the relative dollar amounts of the judgments or, if the judgments involve nonmonetary relief, the relative importance and value of such relief. Nothing herein shall restrict or impair an arbitrator’s or a court’s power to award fees and expenses for frivolous or bad faith pleading. If (i) the Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement prior to commencing arbitration or legal proceedings, or is collected or enforced through any arbitration or legal proceeding, or Investor otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under the Note or to enforce the provisions of the Note, or (ii) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of Company or other proceedings affecting Company’s creditors’ rights and involving a claim under the Note; then Company shall pay the costs incurred by Investor for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses, deposition costs, and disbursements.
9.15. Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in the form of a writing signed by the party granting the waiver. No waiver of any provision or consent to any prohibited action shall constitute a waiver of any other provision or consent to any other prohibited action, whether or not similar. No waiver or consent shall constitute a continuing waiver or consent or commit a party to provide a waiver or consent in the future except to the extent specifically set forth in writing.
9.16. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party to this Agreement waives any rights such party may have to demand trial by jury for disputes arising under this Agreement, to the extent such waiver is permitted by applicable law.

THIS WAIVER EXTENDS TO ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO DEMAND A TRIAL BY JURY ARISING UNDER COMMON LAW OR ANY APPLICABLE STATUTE, LAW, RULE OR REGULATION. FURTHER, EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SUCH PARTY IS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVING SUCH PARTY’S RIGHT TO DEMAND TRIAL BY JURY.
9.17. Time is of the Essence. Time is expressly made of the essence with respect to each and every provision of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
9.18. Voluntary Agreement. Company has carefully read this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents and has asked any questions needed for Company to understand the terms, consequences and binding effect of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents and fully understand them. Company has had the opportunity to seek the advice of an attorney of Company’s choosing, or has waived the right to do so, and is executing this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents voluntarily and without any duress or undue influence by Investor or anyone else.
9.19. 9.19 Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

EXHIBIT G
ARBITRATION PROVISIONS
1. Dispute Resolution. For purposes of these arbitration provisions (the “Arbitration Provisions”), the term “Claims” means any disputes, claims, demands, causes of action, requests for injunctive relief, requests for specific performance, liabilities, damages, losses, or controversies whatsoever arising from, related to, or connected with the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents and any communications between the parties related thereto, including without limitation any claims of mutual mistake, mistake, fraud, misrepresentation, failure of formation, failure of consideration, promissory estoppel, unconscionability, failure of condition precedent, rescission, and any statutory claims, tort claims, contract claims, or claims to void, invalidate or terminate the Agreement (or these Arbitration Provisions (defined below)) or any of the other Transaction Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, Investor’s pursuit of an injunction or other Claim pursuant to these Arbitration Provisions or with a court will not later prevent Investor under the doctrines of claim preclusion, issue preclusion, res judicata or other similar legal doctrines from pursuing other Claims in a separate arbitration in the future. The parties to the Agreement (the “parties”) hereby agree that the Claims may be arbitrated in one or more arbitrations pursuant to these Arbitration Provisions (one for an injunction or injunctions and a separate one for all other Claims). The parties to the Agreement hereby agree that these Arbitration Provisions are binding on each of them. As a result, any attempt to rescind the Agreement (or these Arbitration Provisions) or any other Transaction Document) or declare the Agreement (or these Arbitration Provisions) or any other Transaction Document invalid or unenforceable pursuant to Section 29 of the 1934 Act or for any other reason is subject to these Arbitration Provisions. Any capitalized term not defined in these Arbitration Provisions shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement.
2. Arbitration. Except as otherwise provided herein, all Claims must be submitted to arbitration (“Arbitration”) to be conducted exclusively in Melbourne Victoria and pursuant to the terms set forth in these Arbitration Provisions. Subject to the arbitration appeal right provided for in Paragraph 5 below (the “Appeal Right”), the parties agree that the award of the arbitrator rendered pursuant to Paragraph 4 below (the “Arbitration Award”) shall be (a) final and binding upon the parties, (b) the sole and exclusive remedy between them regarding any Claims, counterclaims, issues, or accountings presented or pleaded to the arbitrator, and (c) promptly payable in United States dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset (with respect to monetary awards). Subject to the Appeal Right, any costs or fees, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with or incident to enforcing the Arbitration Award shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be charged against the party resisting such enforcement. The Arbitration Award shall include default interest (as defined or otherwise provided for in the Note, “Default Interest”) (with respect to monetary awards) at the rate specified in the Note for Default Interest both before and after the Arbitration Award. Judgment upon the Arbitration Award will be entered and enforced by any state or federal court sitting in Melbourne Victoria. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Investor may elect in its sole discretion to pursue the injunctive relief set forth in Section 9.3 of the Agreement in a court of competent jurisdiction without regard to these Arbitration Provisions.
3. The Arbitration Act. The parties hereby incorporate the provisions and procedures of the Commercial Arbitration Act 2011 (Victoria) (as amended or replaced from time to time) (the Arbitration Act). To the extent permitted by the Arbitration Act, the parties agree that, in the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this agreement and the provisions of the Arbitration Act, the terms of this agreement will prevail and the parties agree to exclude, waive or vary the operation of any non-mandatory provisions of the Arbitration Act to the extent necessary to give effect to these arbitration provisions.
4. Arbitration Proceedings. Arbitration between the parties will be subject to the following:
4.1 Initiation of Arbitration. A party may initiate arbitration by giving written notice to the other party (Arbitration Notice) in the manner permitted under Section 9.9 of this Agreement (the Notice Provision); provided, however, that the initial Arbitration Notice must not be given by email or facsimile unless expressly permitted under the Notice Provision for formal notices. Arbitration will be deemed to have commenced on the date the Arbitration Notice is taken to be delivered to the receiving party in accordance with the Notice Provision (the Service Date). After the Service Date, documents, information and further notices relating to the arbitration may be delivered by email, facsimile or any other method permitted under the Notice Provision or as otherwise agreed by the parties or directed by the arbitrator. The Arbitration Notice must set out, in reasonable detail, the nature of the dispute, the remedies sought, and a clear statement electing to commence arbitration proceedings. All claims included in the Arbitration Notice must be clearly pleaded with sufficient particulars to enable the other party to understand the issues in dispute and to respond, consistent with the procedural requirements contemplated by these Arbitration Provisions and the Commercial Arbitration Act 2011 (Victoria).
4.2 Selection and Payment of Arbitrator.
(a) Within ten (10) calendar days after the Service Date, Investor shall select and submit to Company the names of three (3) proposed arbitrators (the Proposed Arbitrators), each of whom must be independent, suitably qualified, and experienced in commercial arbitration, and eligible for appointment as an arbitrator under the Commercial Arbitration Act 2011 (Victoria). The Proposed Arbitrators may be selected from recognised Australian arbitration bodies, including the Resolution Institute or the Australian Centre for International Commercial Arbitration (ACICA), or any other equivalent professional body. Within five (5) calendar days after Investor has submitted to Company the names of the Proposed Arbitrators, Company must select, by written notice to Investor, one (1) of the Proposed Arbitrators to act as the arbitrator for the parties under these Arbitration Provisions. If Company fails to select one of the Proposed Arbitrators in writing within such five (5) day period, then Investor may select the arbitrator from the Proposed Arbitrators by providing written notice of such selection to Company.
(b) If Investor fails to submit to Company the names of the Proposed Arbitrators within ten (10) calendar days after the Service Date pursuant to subparagraph (a) above, then Company may, at any time prior to Investor submitting the Proposed Arbitrators, identify by written notice to Investor the names of three (3) proposed arbitrators (the Proposed Arbitrators), each of whom must be independent, suitably qualified, and experienced in commercial arbitration, and eligible for appointment as an arbitrator under the Commercial Arbitration Act 2011 (Victoria). The Proposed Arbitrators may be selected from recognised Australian arbitration bodies, including the Resolution Institute or the Australian Centre for International Commercial Arbitration (ACICA), or any other equivalent professional body..
(c) If a Proposed Arbitrator chosen to serve as arbitrator declines or is otherwise unable to serve as arbitrator, then the party that selected such Proposed Arbitrator may select one (1) of the other three (3) Proposed Arbitrators within three (3) calendar days of the date the chosen Proposed Arbitrator declines or notifies the parties he or she is unable to serve as arbitrator. If all three (3) Proposed Arbitrators decline or are otherwise unable to serve as arbitrator, then the arbitrator selection process shall begin again in accordance with this Paragraph 4.2.
(d) The date on which the Proposed Arbitrator selected pursuant to this Paragraph 4.2 agrees in writing (including by email) and provides that written acceptance to both parties to act as arbitrator is referred to herein as the Arbitration Commencement Date. If an arbitrator resigns, is removed, or is otherwise unable to act during the arbitration, a replacement arbitrator shall be appointed in accordance with the procedure set out in this Paragraph 4.2, and the arbitration shall continue from the stage already reached, subject to any directions of the replacement arbitrator.
If any nominated arbitration body referred to in this agreement ceases to exist, ceases to maintain a panel of arbitrators, or is otherwise unable to assist with appointments and there is no successor body, then the arbitrator shall be appointed in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Act 2011 (Victoria), including, where necessary, by application to the Supreme Court of Victoria or by adopting the appointment procedures of a recognised Australian arbitration body such as the Resolution Institute or the Australian Centre for International Commercial Arbitration (ACICA).
(e) Subject to Paragraph 4.10 below, the cost of the arbitrator must be paid equally by both parties. Subject to Paragraph 4.10 below, if one party refuses or fails to pay its portion of the arbitrator fee, then the other party can advance such unpaid amount (subject to the accrual of Default Interest thereupon), with such amount being added to or subtracted from, as applicable, the Arbitration Award.
4.3 Applicability of Certain Victorian Rules. The parties agree that the arbitration shall be conducted generally in accordance with the Supreme Court (General Civil Procedure) Rules 2015 (Victoria) and the Evidence Act 2008 (Victoria), to the extent the arbitrator considers them appropriate for the efficient and fair conduct of the arbitration. Without limitation, the Supreme Court (General Civil Procedure) Rules 2015 (Victoria) may be used as guidance in relation to the filing of pleadings, motions and submissions, the conduct of discovery, and the taking of evidence. The Evidence Act 2008 (Victoria) shall apply as a guide to the admissibility and treatment of evidence at any hearings, whether conducted in person, by video, or by telephone.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that the arbitration is governed by the Commercial Arbitration Act 2011 (Victoria), and that the arbitrator may adopt such procedures as are appropriate to the circumstances. In the event of any inconsistency between the above rules and these Arbitration Provisions, these Arbitration Provisions shall prevail to the maximum extent permitted by law.
4.4 Answer and Default. An answer and any counterclaims to the Arbitration Notice shall be required to be delivered to the party initiating the Arbitration within twenty (20) calendar days after the Arbitration Commencement Date. If an answer is not delivered by the required deadline, the arbitrator must provide written notice to the defaulting party stating that the arbitrator will enter a default award against such party if such party does not file an answer within five (5) calendar days of receipt of such notice. If an answer is not filed within the five (5) day extension period, the arbitrator must render a default award, consistent with the relief requested in the Arbitration Notice, against a party that fails to submit an answer within such time period.
4.5 Related Litigation. Either party may, at its election, commence concurrent legal proceedings in the Supreme Court of Victoria or another court of competent jurisdiction in Victoria (Litigation Proceedings) following delivery of an Arbitration Notice, subject to the following: (a) the originating process filed in the Litigation Proceedings must be substantially similar to the claims set out in the Arbitration Notice, provided that an additional cause of action seeking to compel arbitration or enforce the arbitration agreement may also be included; (b) provided the other party files a response in the Litigation Proceedings and participates in the arbitration, the Litigation Proceedings will be stayed pending the making of an arbitral award (or Appeal Panel Award (defined below), if applicable); (c) if either party fails to file a response in the Litigation Proceedings or fails to participate in the arbitration process, then the other party may seek appropriate relief from the court, including judgment consistent with the relief sought, subject to the requirements of the Commercial Arbitration Act 2011 (Victoria) and applicable court rules; (d) any legal or procedural issue arising under the Commercial Arbitration Act 2011 (Victoria) that requires determination by a court of competent jurisdiction may be determined in the Litigation Proceedings. Any arbitral award (including any Appeal Panel Award, if applicable) may be enforced and entered as a judgment in the Supreme Court of Victoria or any other court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Act 2011 (Victoria). Without limiting the foregoing, any arbitral award requiring the Company to execute amendments or additional Transaction Documents to perfect the Investor’s security interests may be enforced by the Investor in any jurisdiction where the Company or its related entities hold assets or are incorporated, including without limitation India, and the Company hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of courts in such jurisdictions for the purpose of enforcing such awards and waives any objection to venue or forum non conveniens. In the event either party successfully applies to a court to compel arbitration, the court may award costs, including reasonable legal costs, in accordance with applicable law and the court’s discretion.
4.6 Discovery. Pursuant to Section 118(8) of the Arbitration Act, the parties agree that discovery shall be conducted as follows:
(a) Written discovery will only be allowed if the likely benefits of the proposed written discovery outweigh the burden or expense thereof, and the written discovery sought is likely to reveal information that will satisfy a specific element of a claim or defense already pleaded in the Arbitration. The party seeking written discovery shall have the burden of showing that the standards and limitations set forth in these Arbitration Provisions are satisfied, provided that the arbitrator shall ensure that both parties have reasonable and proportionate access to relevant documents and information necessary to fairly present their case, including documents relating to security interests, pledges, charges, or other encumbrances over shares and assets of the Company and its related entities. Notwithstanding any other limitation in these Arbitration Provisions, the Investor shall be entitled to discovery of all documents and information relating to: (i) the creation, registration, perfection, priority, or enforcement of any security interest, pledge, charge, or encumbrance over shares or assets of the Company or its related entities; (ii) any competing or conflicting security interests or encumbrances; and (iii) the Company’s compliance with its obligations to execute amendments or additional Transaction Documents to perfect the Investor’s security interests. The scope of discovery in the Arbitration proceedings shall also be limited as follows:
(i) To facts directly connected with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, including without limitation any security arrangements, pledges, charges, or encumbrances over shares and assets of the Company and its related entities (including any Indian subsidiaries or affiliates), and including all facts relating to the Company’s obligations to amend Transaction Documents to enable the Investor to create, register, perfect, maintain, or enforce any such security interests, and any failure or delay by the Company in performing such obligations.
(ii) To facts and information that cannot be obtained from another source or in another manner that is more convenient, less burdensome or less expensive than in the manner requested.
(b) No party shall be permitted: (i) more than fifteen (15) interrogatories (including discrete subparts), (ii) more than fifteen (15) requests for admission (including discrete subparts), (iii) more than ten (10) requests for production of documents (including discrete subparts), or (iv) more than three (3) depositions (excluding expert depositions), with each deposition not to exceed seven (7) hours in duration. The costs associated with any deposition will be borne by the party taking the deposition. The party defending the deposition must provide written notice to the party taking the deposition of the estimated reasonable legal costs that such party expects to incur in connection with defending the deposition. If the party defending the deposition fails to provide an estimate of reasonable legal costs within five (5) calendar days of receipt of a deposition notice, that party shall be deemed to have waived its right to claim those estimated costs in advance. Each party shall bear its own legal costs in connection with depositions, unless the arbitrator determines that the deposition was frivolous, vexatious, or sought for an improper purpose, in which case the arbitrator may order the party taking the deposition to reimburse the reasonable legal costs of the defending party. If the party taking the deposition considers the estimated reasonable legal costs to be excessive or unreasonable, that party may refer the issue to the arbitrator for determination, and the arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties or directed by the arbitrator, all depositions will be conducted in Victoria, Australia, and may be conducted in person, by video conference, or by other agreed electronic means.
(c) All discovery requests (including document production requests included in deposition notices) must be submitted in writing to the arbitrator and the other party. The party submitting any written discovery requests must include with those requests a detailed explanation of how the proposed discovery satisfies the requirements of these Arbitration Provisions and is reasonable, proportionate and necessary for the fair resolution of the dispute, having regard to the procedural framework contemplated by the Commercial Arbitration Act 2011 (Victoria) and, where appropriate, the principles reflected in the Supreme Court (General Civil Procedure) Rules 2015 (Victoria). The receiving party will then be permitted, within five (5) calendar days of receiving the proposed discovery requests, to submit to the arbitrator: (i) an estimate of the reasonable legal costs and expenses associated with responding to such written discovery requests, and (ii) a written challenge to any of the discovery requests. After receipt of an estimate of reasonable legal costs and expenses and/or any challenge to one or more discovery requests, the arbitrator will, within three (3) calendar days, make a determination as to the likely reasonable legal costs and expenses associated with responding to the discovery requests and issue an order that: (i) requires the requesting party to prepay twenty-five percent (25%) of the reasonable legal costs and expenses associated with responding to the discovery requests, with the remaining seventy-five percent (75%) to be allocated as costs in the final award, provided that no prepayment shall be required for discovery requests relating to the Company’s obligations to amend Transaction Documents to perfect the Investor’s security interests, or the Company’s compliance or non-compliance with such obligations, and the full costs of responding to such requests shall be borne by the Company regardless of the outcome of the arbitration; and (ii) requires the responding party to respond to the discovery requests, as limited or modified by the arbitrator, within twenty-five (25) calendar days of the arbitrator’s determination.
If a party entitled to submit an estimate of reasonable legal costs and expenses and/or a challenge to discovery requests fails to do so within such fifteen (15) day period, the arbitrator will determine that: (A) there are no reasonable legal costs or expenses required to be prepaid in connection with responding to such discovery requests; (B) the responding party must respond to such discovery requests (as may be limited or modified by the arbitrator) within twenty-five (25) calendar days of the arbitrator’s determination; and (C) the responding party shall be deemed to have waived any objection to the scope or burden of the discovery requests, subject to the arbitrator’s inherent power to limit discovery that is clearly excessive or oppressive.
Any party submitting written discovery requests, including without limitation interrogatories, requests for production, subpoenas to a party or third party, or requests for admissions, must prepay twenty-five percent (25%) of the estimated reasonable legal costs and expenses as determined by the arbitrator before the responding party has any obligation to produce documents or otherwise respond, unless that entitlement is deemed waived as set out above, with the balance of costs to be allocated in the final award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prepayment shall be required, and the Company shall bear all costs, for any discovery requests by the Investor relating to: (i) the existence, validity, perfection, priority, or enforcement of security interests, pledges, charges, or encumbrances over shares or assets of the Company or its related entities; (ii) the Company’s obligations to execute amendments or additional Transaction Documents to perfect such security interests; or (iii) the Company’s compliance or non-compliance with such obligations.
(d) In determining whether to allow a written discovery request, the arbitrator must be satisfied that the request complies with these Arbitration Provisions and is reasonable, proportionate and necessary to resolve the issues in dispute. The arbitrator must strictly enforce these standards. If a discovery request does not satisfy these standards, the arbitrator may modify the request so that it complies, or may strike the request in whole or in part.
(e) Each party may submit expert reports (and rebuttals), provided that such reports must be submitted within sixty (60) days of the Arbitration Commencement Date. Each party will be permitted a maximum of two (2) experts. Expert reports must contain: (i) a complete statement of all opinions the expert will offer and the basis and reasons for those opinions; (ii) the expert’s name and qualifications, including a list of publications within the preceding ten (10) years, and a list of any other matters in which the expert has given evidence at trial, in arbitration, or by deposition, or prepared a report within the preceding ten (10) years; and (iii) the compensation to be paid for the expert’s report and testimony. Each party is entitled to depose another party’s expert witness once only, for no more than six (6) hours. An expert may not give evidence concerning any matter not fairly disclosed in the expert report.
4.7 Dispositive Motions. Each party shall have the right to submit applications seeking the summary determination or dismissal of all or part of a claim or defence (a Dispositive Motion), including on the basis that a claim discloses no reasonable cause of action, has no real prospect of success, or can be determined without the need for a full evidentiary hearing. The Investor shall have the right to seek summary determination that the Company has breached its obligation to execute amendments or additional Transaction Documents necessary to perfect the Investor’s security interests, and to obtain an order compelling the Company to execute such documents forthwith, without the need for a full evidentiary hearing if the facts are not in genuine dispute. Any such Dispositive Motion shall be made to the arbitrator in writing. The party submitting the Dispositive Motion may, but is not required to, deliver to the arbitrator and to the other party a written memorandum in support of the Dispositive Motion (the Memorandum in Support). Within seven (7) calendar days of delivery of the Memorandum in Support, the other party shall deliver to the arbitrator and to the other party a written memorandum in opposition (the Memorandum in Opposition). Within seven (7) calendar days of delivery of the Memorandum in Opposition, the party that submitted the Memorandum in Support may deliver to the arbitrator and to the other party a reply memorandum responding to the Memorandum in Opposition (Reply Memorandum). If a party fails to deliver the Memorandum in Opposition within the time required above, or if the party submitting the Dispositive Motion fails to deliver a Reply Memorandum within the time required above, that party shall be deemed to have waived its right to do so, and the Dispositive Motion may be determined by the arbitrator on the materials before them.
4.8 Confidentiality. All information disclosed by either party (or that party’s agents) during the arbitration process (including, without limitation, information disclosed during the discovery process or any appeal, if applicable) shall be treated as confidential. Each party agrees not to disclose any confidential information received from the other party (or its agents) during the arbitration process except where: (a) the information becomes publicly available, whether before or after disclosure, other than as a result of any act or omission of the receiving party or its agents; (b) disclosure is required by law, court order, subpoena, regulatory requirement or similar legal compulsion, provided that the receiving party gives the other party written notice as soon as reasonably practicable and, where permitted, a reasonable opportunity to seek a protective order or other appropriate relief prior to disclosure; (c) the information is disclosed to the receiving party’s agents, professional advisers, representatives or legal counsel on a strict need-to-know basis, provided that such persons are subject to confidentiality obligations no less onerous than those set out in these Arbitration Provisions; or (d) disclosure is reasonably necessary for the Investor to register, perfect, enforce or otherwise give effect to any security interest, pledge, charge or other encumbrance over shares or assets of the Company or its related entities (including entities incorporated in India), provided that such disclosure is limited to what is reasonably required for such purpose. The arbitrator is authorised, upon the written request of either party, to make directions or orders to preserve confidentiality and to protect privileged or confidential information, including by way of protective orders, suppression directions, or limitations on the use or disclosure of documents and evidence, to the extent permitted under the Commercial Arbitration Act 2011 (Victoria).
4.9 Authorization; Timing; Scheduling Order. Subject to all other sections of these Arbitration Provisions, the parties authorise and direct the arbitrator to take such actions and make such procedural rulings as may be necessary to give effect to the parties’ intention that the arbitration be conducted in an efficient and expeditious manner. The parties agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by the Commercial Arbitration Act 2011 (Victoria), the arbitral award must be made within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the Arbitration Commencement Date, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing or the arbitrator determines that an extension is reasonably necessary in the interests of fairness and due process. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Investor seeks an order compelling the Company to execute amendments or additional Transaction Documents to perfect security interests, and the arbitrator determines that the Investor has established a prima facie case that the Company has failed to comply with its obligations in this regard, the arbitrator shall issue an interim award or order requiring the Company to execute such documents within ten (10) calendar days, pending final determination of the arbitration. The arbitrator is authorised and directed to convene a scheduling conference within ten (10) calendar days after the Arbitration Commencement Date for the purpose of establishing a binding procedural timetable, including deadlines for discovery, expert evidence, and the submission of documents and written materials, so as to facilitate the delivery of the arbitral award within the intended 120-day period.
4.10 Relief. The arbitrator shall have the right to award or include in the Arbitration Award (or in a preliminary ruling) any relief which the arbitrator deems proper under the circumstances, including, without limitation, specific performance and injunctive relief (including orders requiring the Company to execute, deliver, and register security documents over shares and assets of the Company and its related entities in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, and orders requiring the Company to amend any Transaction Document as may be required to allow the Investor to obtain and perfect security interests over any assets or shares of the Company and its related entities), provided that the arbitrator may not award exemplary or punitive damages.
4.11 Fees and Costs. As part of the Arbitration Award, the arbitrator is hereby directed to require the losing party (the party being awarded the least amount of money by the arbitrator, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be determined without regard to any statutory fines, penalties, fees, or other charges awarded to any party) to (a) pay the full amount of any unpaid costs and fees of the Arbitration, and (b) reimburse the prevailing party for all reasonable attorneys’ fees, arbitrator costs and fees, deposition costs, other discovery costs, and other expenses, costs or fees paid or otherwise incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the Arbitration, including any costs reasonably incurred in enforcing, perfecting, or registering security interests over shares and assets of the Company or its related entities.
4.12 Application to Set Aside. Following the making of the arbitral award, if either party wishes to apply to set aside or challenge the award, that party must do so by application to the Supreme Court of Victoria (or another court of competent jurisdiction in Australia) within the earlier of:(a) sixty (60) days after the date on which the arbitral award is delivered to the parties; and (b) the date on which that party files any response to an application by the prevailing party to recognise, enforce, or enter judgment on the arbitral award. Any application to set aside, recognise, or enforce an arbitral award shall be made in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Act 2011 (Victoria) and the applicable rules of the court.
5. Arbitration Appeal.
5.1 Initiation of Appeal. Following the making of the arbitral award, either party (the Appellant) shall have a period of thirty (30) calendar days in which to notify the other party (the Appellee), in writing, that the Appellant elects to appeal the arbitral award (the Appeal) to a panel of arbitrators as provided in Paragraph 5.2 below (such notice being an Appeal Notice). The date on which the Appellant delivers the Appeal Notice to the Appellee is referred to herein as the Appeal Date. The Appeal Notice must be delivered to the Appellee in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 4.1 above relating to delivery of an Arbitration Notice. At the same time as delivering the Appeal Notice to the Appellee, the Appellant must pay for, and provide proof of payment to the Appellee of, a bond in an amount equal to one hundred and ten per cent (110%) of the sum the Appellant is required to pay to the Appellee under the arbitral award being appealed. If an Appellant delivers an Appeal Notice to the Appellee (together with proof of payment of the required bond) in compliance with this Paragraph 5.1, the Appeal shall proceed as of right in accordance with these Arbitration Provisions and shall not be subject to any further condition except as expressly set out herein. If a party does not deliver an Appeal Notice (together with proof of payment of the required bond) within the time period specified in this Paragraph 5.1, that party shall be deemed to have waived and lost its right to appeal the arbitral award. The arbitral award shall be treated as final and binding unless and until an Appeal Notice has been properly delivered and the required appeal bond has been posted (together with proof of payment). The parties acknowledge and agree that any Appeal is part of their agreement to resolve disputes by arbitration and forms part of the arbitration agreement for the purposes of the Commercial Arbitration Act 2011 (Victoria).
5.2 Selection and Payment of Appeal Panel. In the event an Appellant delivers an Appeal Notice to the Appellee (together with proof of payment of the applicable bond) in compliance with the provisions of Paragraph 5.1 above, the Appeal will be heard by a three (3) person arbitration panel (the Appeal Panel).
(a) Within ten (10) calendar days after the Appeal Date, the Appellee shall select and submit to the Appellant the names of five (5) proposed arbitrators (the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators), each of whom must be independent, suitably qualified, and experienced in commercial arbitration, and eligible for appointment as an arbitrator under the Commercial Arbitration Act 2011 (Victoria). None of the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators may be the arbitrator who rendered the Arbitration Award being appealed (the Original Arbitrator). The Proposed Appeal Arbitrators may be selected from recognised Australian arbitration bodies, including the Resolution Institute or the Australian Centre for International Commercial Arbitration (ACICA), or any equivalent professional body. Within five (5) calendar days after the Appellee has submitted the names of the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators, the Appellant must select, by written notice to the Appellee, three (3) of the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators to act as the members of the Appeal Panel. If the Appellant fails to select three (3) of the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators in writing within such five (5) day period, then the Appellee may select the three (3) arbitrators from the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators by providing written notice of such selection to the Appellant.
(b) If the Appellee fails to submit to the Appellant the names of the Proposed Appeal Arbitrators within ten (10) calendar days after the Appeal Date pursuant to subparagraph (a) above, then the Appellant may, at any time prior to the Appellee doing so, identify by written notice to the Appellee the names of five (5) proposed arbitrators (none of whom may be the Original Arbitrator), each of whom must be independent, suitably qualified, and experienced in commercial arbitration, and eligible for appointment under the Commercial Arbitration Act 2011 (Victoria). The Appellee may then, within five (5) calendar days after the Appellant has submitted notice of its selected arbitrators, select, by written notice to the Appellant, three (3) of those arbitrators to serve on the Appeal Panel. If the Appellee fails to select in writing within such five (5) day period three (3) of the arbitrators nominated by the Appellant, then the Appellant may select the three (3) members of the Appeal Panel from its list of five (5) arbitrators by providing written notice of such selection to the Appellee.
(c) If a selected Proposed Appeal Arbitrator declines or is otherwise unable to serve, then the party that selected that Proposed Appeal Arbitrator may select one (1) of the other nominated Proposed Appeal Arbitrators within three (3) calendar days of the date the chosen Proposed Appeal Arbitrator declines or notifies the parties that they are unable to serve. If at least three (3) of the five (5) nominated Proposed Appeal Arbitrators decline or are otherwise unable to serve, then the Proposed Appeal Arbitrator selection process shall recommence in accordance with this Paragraph 5.2; provided, however, that any Proposed Appeal Arbitrators who have already agreed to serve shall remain on the Appeal Panel.
(d) The date on which all three (3) Proposed Appeal Arbitrators selected pursuant to this Paragraph 5.2 confirm in writing (including by email), to both the Appellant and the Appellee, that they agree to serve as members of the Appeal Panel is referred to herein as the Appeal Commencement Date. No later than five (5) calendar days after the Appeal Commencement Date, the Appellee shall designate in writing (including by email) to the Appellant and the Appeal Panel the name of one (1) of the three (3) members of the Appeal Panel to act as the lead arbitrator for the Appeal proceedings.
Each member of the Appeal Panel shall be deemed an arbitrator for the purposes of these Arbitration Provisions and the Commercial Arbitration Act 2011 (Victoria). In conducting the Appeal, the Appeal Panel may only act or make determinations upon the approval of a majority of its members, as communicated by the lead arbitrator on behalf of the Appeal Panel. If an arbitrator on the Appeal Panel resigns, ceases to act, or is otherwise unable to continue, a replacement arbitrator shall be appointed in accordance with the process set out in this Paragraph 5.2 to continue the Appeal.
If any nominated arbitration body referred to in this agreement ceases to exist or ceases to maintain a panel of arbitrators, and there is no successor body, then the arbitrators for the Appeal Panel shall be selected in accordance with the appointment mechanisms available under the Commercial Arbitration Act 2011 (Victoria), including, where necessary, by application to the Supreme Court of Victoria or by adopting the appointment procedures of a recognised Australian arbitration body such as the Resolution Institute or ACICA.
(e) Subject to Paragraph 5.7 below, the costs of the Appeal Panel shall be borne entirely by the Appellant.
5.3 Appeal Procedure. The Appeal will be taken to be an appeal of the entire arbitral award. In conducting the Appeal, the Appeal Panel shall undertake a de novo review of all claims described or otherwise set out in the Arbitration Notice. Subject to the foregoing and all other provisions of this Paragraph 5, the Appeal Panel shall conduct the Appeal in the manner it considers appropriate to ensure a fair and expeditious determination of the dispute. The Appeal Panel may hold one or more hearings, permit oral argument, and review all evidence and materials previously submitted in the arbitration, including all discovery, transcripts, briefs, pleadings and other documents filed with the Original Arbitrator, together with any additional written submissions permitted under these Arbitration Provisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with the Appeal, the Appeal Panel shall not permit the parties to conduct any additional discovery, raise any new claims, or introduce new witnesses, affidavits or expert evidence. The Appeal Panel shall determine the Appeal based solely on the record that was before the Original Arbitrator and the written and oral submissions made to the Appeal Panel. In undertaking its review, the Appeal Panel shall reach its own independent conclusions and shall not be bound by, nor give deference to, the findings of the Original Arbitrator or the arbitral award.
5.4 Timing. (a) Within seven (7) calendar days of the Appeal Commencement Date, the Appellant: (i) shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Appeal Panel copies of the Appeal Notice, all discovery conducted in connection with the arbitration, and all briefs, pleadings and other documents filed with the Original Arbitrator (which material the Appellee shall have the right to review and supplement if necessary); and (ii) may, but is not required to, deliver to the Appeal Panel and to the Appellee a written memorandum in support of the Appellant’s arguments or position with respect to all claims, counterclaims, issues, or accountings presented or pleaded in the arbitration (Memorandum in Support). Within seven (7) calendar days after delivery of the Memorandum in Support, if provided, the Appellee shall deliver to the Appeal Panel and to the Appellant a written memorandum in opposition to the Memorandum in Support (Memorandum in Opposition). Within seven (7) calendar days after delivery of the Memorandum in Opposition, the Appellant may deliver to the Appeal Panel and to the Appellee a reply memorandum responding to the Memorandum in Opposition (Reply Memorandum). If the Appellant fails to substantially comply with the requirements of clause (i) of this subparagraph (a), the Appellant shall be deemed to have waived its right to appeal the arbitral award, and the arbitral award shall be final and binding, provided that if the Investor is the Appellant, the Investor shall have an additional fourteen (14) calendar days to cure any non-compliance upon written notice from the Appellee, and such cure period shall not constitute a waiver of the Investor’s appeal rights. If the Appellee fails to deliver the Memorandum in Opposition within the time required above, or if the Appellant fails to deliver the Reply Memorandum within the time required above, then the Appellee or the Appellant, as applicable, shall be deemed to have waived its right to provide that submission, and the Appeal shall proceed on the materials before the Appeal Panel. (b) Subject to subparagraph (a) above, the parties agree that the Appeal is to be heard by the Appeal Panel within thirty (30) calendar days of the Appeal Commencement Date, and that the Appeal Panel shall use reasonable endeavours to deliver its decision within thirty (30) calendar days after the Appeal is heard and, in any event, no later than sixty (60) calendar days after the Appeal Commencement Date, unless the parties otherwise agree in writing or the Appeal Panel determines that an extension is reasonably necessary in the interests of fairness and due process. Any request by the Investor for an extension of time shall be deemed reasonable and necessary if it relates to obtaining documents, information, or evidence from the Company, its related entities, if it relates to compliance with regulatory requirements affecting the security interests granted to the Investor, or if it relates to the Company’s failure or delay in amending Transaction Documents or taking actions necessary to perfect the Investor’s security interests.
5.5 Appeal Panel Award. The Appeal Panel shall issue its decision (the Appeal Panel Award) through the lead arbitrator on behalf of the Appeal Panel.
Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, the Appeal Panel Award shall: (a) supersede in its entirety and render of no further force or effect the original arbitral award (provided that any confidentiality, protective or procedural orders made by the Original Arbitrator shall remain in full force and effect unless varied by the Appeal Panel); (b) be final and binding upon the parties, subject only to any rights available under the Commercial Arbitration Act 2011 (Victoria) to seek recognition, enforcement, or to apply to set aside an award; (c) constitute the sole and exclusive determination between the parties in respect of all claims, counterclaims, issues, or accountings presented or pleaded in the arbitration; (d) in the case of any monetary award, be payable promptly in the currency specified in the relevant agreement or, if no currency is specified, in Australian dollars, free of any tax, deduction or set-off except as required by law. Any costs or fees, including without limitation all legal costs (on a full indemnity basis), court fees, bailiff fees, enforcement costs, and any other expenses whatsoever incurred in connection with or incidental to recognising, registering, or enforcing the Appeal Panel Award in any jurisdiction (including India) shall be recoverable in full from the party resisting enforcement, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, and such costs shall be added to the award amount and bear interest at the same rate as the principal award. The Appeal Panel Award shall include default interest (in respect of any monetary award) at the rate specified in the relevant agreement or, if no such rate is specified, at a reasonable commercial rate determined by the Appeal Panel, accruing from the date specified in the award until payment. Judgment upon the Appeal Panel Award may be recognised, entered and enforced by the Supreme Court of Victoria or any other court of competent jurisdiction in Australia in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Act 2011 (Victoria).
5.6 Relief. The Appeal Panel shall have the authority to grant any remedy or relief it considers appropriate in the circumstances and within the scope of the parties’ agreement, including, without limitation, orders for specific performance, declaratory relief and injunctive relief. However, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Appeal Panel shall not have the authority to award exemplary, punitive or penal damages.
5.7 Fees and Costs. As part of the Appeal Panel Award, the Appeal Panel is directed, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to order that the losing party (being the party awarded the lesser monetary amount by the Appeal Panel, determined without regard to any statutory fines, penalties, fees or other regulatory amounts awarded to any party) shall: (a) pay the full amount of any unpaid costs and fees of the arbitration and the Appeal Panel; and (b) reimburse the prevailing party (being the party awarded the greater monetary amount by the Appeal Panel, determined without regard to any statutory fines, penalties, fees or other regulatory amounts awarded to any party) for its reasonable legal costs, arbitrator and Appeal Panel costs and fees, deposition costs, discovery costs, and all other reasonable expenses, costs or fees paid or incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration, including in connection with the Appeal. For the avoidance of doubt, the Appeal Panel shall have the authority to determine the reasonableness and amount of such costs and expenses and to include those amounts in the Appeal Panel Award.
6. Miscellaneous.
6.1 Severability. If any part of these Arbitration Provisions is found to violate or be illegal under applicable law, then such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision enforceable under applicable law, and the remainder of the Arbitration Provisions shall remain unaffected and in full force and effect.
6.2 Governing Law. These Arbitration Provisions shall be governed by the laws of the State of Victoria, Australia, excluding its conflict of laws principles. Any arbitration shall be conducted in Melbourne, Victoria, and shall be administered in accordance with the Australian Centre for International Commercial Arbitration (ACICA) Arbitration Rules. For the avoidance of doubt, the laws of Victoria, Australia shall apply to all security interests, pledges, charges, and other security arrangements created under this Agreement, including those relating to assets and shares located in India, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
6.3 Interpretation. The headings of these Arbitration Provisions are for convenience of reference only and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, these Arbitration Provisions.
6.4 Waiver. No waiver of any provision of these Arbitration Provisions shall be effective unless it is in the form of a writing signed by the party granting the waiver.
6.5 Time is of the Essence. Time is expressly made of the essence with respect to each and every provision of these Arbitration Provisions, provided that any party may request a reasonable extension of time for good cause shown, and such extension shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Investor shall have the right to extend any deadline applicable to it by written notice to the other party, such extension not to exceed 30 days for each individual extension, provided that the Investor may grant itself multiple such extensions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, time shall not be of the essence with respect to the Investor’s obligations under this Agreement, but time shall remain of the essence with respect to the Company’s obligations to amend Transaction Documents and execute, deliver, and register security documents as required to perfect the Investor’s security interests.

You acknowledge that the Company and the Board reserve the right to withhold any information and to exclude you from any portion of a Board meeting if such information or attendance could reasonably be expected to result in a conflict of interest with your duties to a third party or adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this letter prevents you from reporting possible violations of federal law or regulation to government authorities, including under Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or Section 806 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or other applicable whistleblower protections, without notification to or prior approval by the Company.

Your service will continue until your resignation or such removal.
XI. Governing Law

As of the Effective Date, you will be paid an annual base salary of US$850,000 per year, payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices and subject to applicable tax withholdings and deductions.
Your base salary will be reviewed periodically by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) or the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”), but any increase shall be in the sole discretion of the Board or Committee.
Annual Cash Incentive
Given that the Company is newly listed and remains focused on preserving cash flow for growth initiatives, acquisitions, working capital, and other corporate obligations, you will not be eligible for an annual cash bonus for fiscal year 2026.

In recognition of your leadership and efforts in connection with the Company’s direct listing, acquisitions, capital raising, strategic transactions, banker negotiations, and related corporate activities, the Company will pay you a one-time transaction-related success fee of US$850,000.
This success fee reflects, among other things, your role in leading the Company’s acquisitions and M&A activity, raising approximately US$24 million in debt and equity financing, negotiating with bankers and advisors, and pursuing a direct listing strategy that materially reduced transaction costs and advisory fees for the Company.
The timing and payment mechanics of this success fee shall be determined by the Board or the Committee.
Payment of the success fee shall be subject to the Company’s cash flow, liquidity needs, working capital requirements, debt obligations, and other corporate priorities. The Board or the Committee may, in its discretion, determine to defer payment of all or a portion of the success fee for up to eighteen (18) months following the Effective Date and may elect to pay the success fee in instalments based on the Company’s available cash flow and financial condition.

Any such amendment or arrangement shall be subject to mutual agreement of the parties and approval by the Board or the Committee, as applicable. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as guaranteeing the adoption of any particular compensation or benefit arrangement or limiting the Board’s or Committee’s discretion.
Termination of Employment
Your employment with the Company will be at will, meaning that either you or the Company may terminate your employment at any time, with or without cause.
If your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause, other than due to death or disability, you will be entitled to receive:

On behalf of Braiin Limited (the “Company”), I am pleased to confirm our offer to you for employment in the position of Head of Investor Relations and Head of Business Development for the Company’s PropTech division in the United States. You will report directly to the Chief Operating Officer. Your employment under this letter agreement (this “Agreement”) will commence on April 1, 2026 (the “Effective Date”).
Position and Duties
You will serve as Head of Investor Relations and Head of Business Development for the Company’s PropTech division in the United States and will perform such duties, responsibilities, and authorities as are customary for an executive in these roles, together with such additional duties as may be assigned to you by the Chief Operating Officer from time to time.
Your duties will include, among other things: leading investor relations strategy and shareholder communications; supporting relationships with analysts, institutional investors, retail shareholders, and media; coordinating investor presentations, earnings-related materials, conferences, roadshows, and other public-company communications; assisting with business development, strategic partnerships, and commercial initiatives for the Company’s PropTech division in the United States; supporting cross-functional initiatives with finance, legal, marketing, and operations teams; and performing such other executive responsibilities as may reasonably be assigned by the Company.
Your principal place of employment will be in the United States, although you acknowledge that regular travel to New York, other parts of the United States, Australia, India, and other jurisdictions may be required in connection with the performance of your duties.
Total Target Compensation
Your total target annual compensation opportunity is expected to be approximately US$670,000, consisting of a combination of annual cash compensation and long-term equity incentives.
This compensation structure is intended to align your interests with the long-term growth and value creation objectives of the Company as a newly listed Nasdaq company.
Base Salary
As of the Effective Date, you will be paid an annual base salary of US$370,000 per year, payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices and subject to applicable tax withholdings and deductions.
Your base salary will be reviewed periodically by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) or the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”), but any increase shall be in the sole discretion of the Board or Committee.
Sign-On Bonus
You will receive a sign-on bonus of US$50,000, less applicable tax withholdings and deductions, payable within thirty (30) days following the Effective Date.
In the event your employment with the Company terminates for any reason prior to the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Effective Date, you agree to repay the gross amount of the sign-on bonus to the Company within thirty (30) days following your termination date. The Company may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, offset any unpaid repayment obligation against any amounts otherwise payable to you.
Annual Cash Incentive
Given that the Company is newly listed and remains focused on preserving cash flow for growth initiatives, acquisitions, working capital, and other corporate obligations, you will not be eligible for an annual cash bonus for fiscal year 2026.
The Board and the Committee may reassess whether to introduce an annual cash incentive opportunity after December 31, 2026, based on the Company’s financial performance, cash flow position, strategic priorities, and overall business needs.
Equity Incentive Awards
You will be eligible to participate in the Company’s equity incentive plan, as may be adopted and amended from time to time (the “Plan”), subject to Board or Committee approval.
In connection with your employment, the Company expects to grant you a time-based restricted stock unit award with an aggregate grant date fair value of US$300,000, subject to approval by the Board or Committee.
The restricted stock units are expected to vest over four years, with 25% vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remainder vesting in equal quarterly instalments over the following three years, subject to your continued employment through each vesting date.
All equity awards shall remain subject to the terms of the Plan and the applicable award agreement.
Benefits
You will be eligible to participate in all employee benefit plans, programs, and arrangements that the Company makes available to similarly situated executives from time to time, subject to the terms, conditions, and eligibility requirements of such plans.
Reasonable business expenses, including business travel and related expenses, will be reimbursed in accordance with the Company’s expense policy, as in effect from time to time.
Termination of Employment
Your employment with the Company will be at will, meaning that either you or the Company may terminate your employment at any time, with or without cause.
If your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause, other than due to death or disability, you will be entitled to receive:
| ● | any accrued but unpaid base salary through the termination date; |
| ● | reimbursement of any unreimbursed business expenses; and |
| ● | continued payment of your then-current base salary for six (6) months following the termination date, subject to your execution and non-revocation of a customary release of claims. |
For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means: fraud, dishonesty, willful misconduct, material breach of Company policy, material breach of this Agreement, conviction of a felony, or material failure to perform your duties following written notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure, where appropriate.
Confidentiality and Restrictive Covenants
You will be required to comply with the Company’s confidentiality, insider trading, clawback, code of conduct, and other corporate governance policies as adopted or amended from time to time.
You agree that all confidential information, work product, inventions, intellectual property, and other materials created or developed by you in connection with your employment shall belong exclusively to the Company. You also agree to customary non-solicitation and non-competition restrictions for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of your employment, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

| b) | incurred with the Company’s prior written authority; or | |
| c) | reasonable and incurred in circumstances where: |
(i) the Company has refused to authorise representation or participation by lawyers other than lawyers acting also for the Company; and

(ii) must, at the Company’s written request, return to the Company or destroy all copies of any Company Document obtained from the Company under this clause 3.2 within 14 days after the Relevant Proceedings are finally resolved.
| d) | The Company acknowledges that monetary damages alone would not adequately compensate the Director for the Company’s breach of its obligations under clauses 3.1 and 3.2 and that accordingly specific performance of those obligations is an appropriate remedy. | |

| C. | in connection with Relevant Proceedings or the threat of Relevant Proceedings, | |
| and the Director uses best endeavours to ensure all matters disclosed are kept confidential and advises the Board if the advice in any way contradicts the current position of the Board or contradicts advice previously received by the Board. |
| b) | Where the Director is entitled to disclose Confidential Information under clause 3.3(a) and the Company Document includes any information to which legal professional privilege attaches for the benefit of the Company, or both the Company and the Director, the Director must use best endeavours to avoid doing anything that will cause that privilege to be waived, extinguished or lost by the Company in relation to third parties. |
| 4. | D&O POLICY |

Subject to the satisfaction (or written waiver) of the conditions set forth in Sections 5 and 6 below, the issuance and sale of the Note pursuant to this Agreement shall occur on the first date (the “Initial Listing Date”) that Company’s ordinary shares, no par value per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), trade on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”, and such date, the “Closing Date”). In the event the Initial Listing Date has not occurred on or before February 13, 2026, Investor may terminate this Agreement, and all obligations of Investor hereunder shall thereupon be void and of no further force or effect. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall occur on the Closing Date by means of the exchange of electronic signatures and/or electronic delivery of documents and shall be deemed for all purposes to have occurred at the offices of Hansen Black Anderson Ashcraft PLLC in Lehi, Utah.

1.4. Original Issue Discount; Transaction Expense Amount. The Note carries an original issue discount of $585,000.00 (the “OID”). In addition, Company agrees to pay $30,000.00 to Investor to cover Investor’s legal fees, accounting costs, due diligence, monitoring and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of the Note (the “Transaction Expense Amount”). The OID and the Transaction Expense Amount are included in the initial principal balance of the Note and deemed to be fully earned and non-refundable as of the Closing Date. The “Purchase Price” for the Note, therefore, shall be $6,500,000.00, computed as follows: $7,115,000.00 initial principal balance of the Note, less the OID, less the Transaction Expense Amount.

Company shall also reimburse Investor any reasonable, documented, and out-of-pocket expense incurred by Investor directly attributable to evaluating the effect of such an event on the loan secured hereby, in obtaining any necessary license from governmental authorities required for Investor to enforce its rights under the Transaction Documents, and in complying with all requirements of law applicable to Investor as the result of the existence of such an event and for any penalties or fines imposed upon Investor as a result thereof.
8.4. Outbound Investment Status. Company represents and warrants to Investor, as of the Closing Date, that: Company is not a “covered foreign person” under 31 C.F.R. § 850.209. Furthermore, Company does not currently engage, and has no intention to engage, in any “covered activity” or “covered transaction” (as defined in 31 C.F.R. §§ 850.208 and 850.210) that would result in a “notifiable transaction” or a “prohibited transaction” (as defined in 31 C.F.R. § 850.217 and 850.224), or that would otherwise violate, or cause Investor to violate, any “Outbound Investment Law.” For purposes of this Agreement, “Outbound Investment Law” refers to any legal requirement related to the “Outbound Investment Regulations” (31 C.F.R. §§ 850.101–850.904) and Executive Order 14105.

The parties shall submit all Claims (as defined in Exhibit G) arising under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other agreement between the parties and their affiliates or any Claim relating to the relationship of the parties to binding arbitration pursuant to the arbitration provisions set forth in Exhibit G attached hereto (the “Arbitration Provisions”). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the injunctive relief described in Section 9.3 below may be pursued in an arbitration that is separate and apart from any other arbitration regarding all other Claims arising under the Transaction Documents or, at Investor’s election in its sole discretion, may be pursued in any court of competent jurisdiction notwithstanding the Arbitration Provisions. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Arbitration Provisions are unconditionally binding on the parties hereto and are severable from all other provisions of this Agreement. By executing this Agreement, Company represents, warrants and covenants that Company has reviewed the Arbitration Provisions carefully, consulted with legal counsel about such provisions (or waived its right to do so), understands that the Arbitration Provisions are intended to allow for the expeditious and efficient resolution of any dispute hereunder, agrees to the terms and limitations set forth in the Arbitration Provisions, and that Company will not take a position contrary to the foregoing representations.

9.2. Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Utah or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Utah. Each party consents to and expressly agrees that the exclusive venue for arbitration of any dispute arising out of or relating to any Transaction Document or the relationship of the parties or their affiliates shall be in Salt Lake County, Utah. Without modifying the parties’ obligations to resolve disputes hereunder pursuant to the Arbitration Provisions, for any litigation arising in connection with any of the Transaction Documents each party hereto hereby (i) consents to and expressly submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah, (ii) expressly submits to the exclusive venue of any such court for the purposes hereof, (iii) agrees to not bring any such action outside of any state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah, and (iv) waives any claim of improper venue and any claim or objection that such courts are an inconvenient forum or any other claim, defense or objection to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdiction or to any claim that such venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Company acknowledges that the governing law and venue provisions set forth in this Section 9.2 are material terms to induce Investor to enter into the Transaction Documents and that but for Company’s agreements set forth in this Section 9.2 Investor would not have entered into the Transaction Documents.
9.3. Specific Performance. Company acknowledges and agrees that Investor may suffer irreparable harm if Company fails to perform any material provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents in accordance with its specific terms. It is accordingly agreed that Investor shall be entitled to one or more injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement or such other Transaction Document and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which Investor may be entitled under the Transaction Documents, at law or in equity. Company specifically agrees that: (i) following an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) under the Note, Investor shall have the right to seek and receive injunctive relief from a court or an arbitrator prohibiting Company from issuing any of its Ordinary Shares or preferred stock to any party unless fifty percent (50%) of the gross proceeds received by Company in connection with such issuance are simultaneously used by Company to make a payment under the Note; (ii) following a breach of Section 4(v) above, Investor shall have the right to seek and receive injunctive relief from a court or arbitrator invalidating such lock-up; and (iii) if Company or any of its subsidiaries enters into a definitive agreement that contemplates a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Note), unless such agreement contains a closing condition that the Note are repaid in full upon consummation of the transaction or Investor has provided its written consent in a signed writing to such Fundamental Transaction, Investor shall have the right to seek and receive injunctive relief from a court or arbitrator preventing the consummation of such transaction. Company specifically acknowledges that Investor’s right to obtain specific performance constitutes bargained for leverage and that the loss of such leverage would result in irreparable harm to Investor. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event Investor seeks to obtain an injunction from a court or an arbitrator against Company or specific performance of any provision of any Transaction Document, such action shall not be a waiver of any right of Investor under any Transaction Document, at law, or in equity, including without limitation its rights to arbitrate any Claim pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents, nor shall Investor’s pursuit of an injunction prevent Investor, under the doctrines of claim preclusion, issues preclusion, res judicata or other similar legal doctrines, from pursuing other Claims in the future in a separate arbitration

The “prevailing party” shall be the party in whose favor a judgment is entered, regardless of whether judgment is entered on all claims asserted by such party and regardless of the amount of the judgment; or where, due to the assertion of counterclaims, judgments are entered in favor of and against both parties, then the judge or arbitrator shall determine the “prevailing party” by taking into account the relative dollar amounts of the judgments or, if the judgments involve nonmonetary relief, the relative importance and value of such relief. Nothing herein shall restrict or impair an arbitrator’s or a court’s power to award fees and expenses for frivolous or bad faith pleading.

SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE
| Effective Date: February 12, 2026 | U.S. $7,115,000.00 |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Braiin Limited (ACN 660 713 093), an Australian public limited company (“Borrower”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to Streeterville Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company, or its successors or assigns (“Lender”), $7,115,000.00 and any interest, fees, charges, and late fees accrued hereunder on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Purchase Price Date (the “Maturity Date”) in accordance with the terms set forth herein and to pay interest on the Outstanding Balance at the rate of nine percent (9%) per annum from the Purchase Price Date until the same is paid in full. All interest calculations hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve (12) thirty (30) day months, shall compound daily and shall be payable in accordance with the terms of this Note. This Secured Promissory Note (this “Note”) is issued and made effective as of the date set forth above (the “Effective Date”). This Note is issued pursuant to that certain Note Purchase Agreement dated February __, 2026, as the same may be amended from time to time, by and between Borrower and Lender (the “Purchase Agreement”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Attachment 1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
This Note carries an OID of $585,000.00. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay $30,000.00 to Lender to cover Lender’s legal fees, accounting costs, due diligence, monitoring and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of this Note (the “Transaction Expense Amount”). The OID and the Transaction Expense Amount are included in the initial principal balance of this Note and are deemed to be fully earned and non-refundable as of the Purchase Price Date. The purchase price for this Note shall be $6,500,000.00 (the “Purchase Price”), computed as follows: $7,115,000.00 original principal balance, less the OID and the Transaction Expense Amount.
1. Payments.
1.1. Payment. All payments owing hereunder shall be in lawful money of the United States of America as provided for herein and delivered to Lender at the address or bank account furnished to Borrower for that purpose. All payments shall be applied first to (a) costs of collection, if any, then to (b) fees and charges, if any, then to (c) accrued and unpaid interest, and thereafter, to (d) principal.
1.2. Prepayment; Make-Whole. Borrower may prepay this Note, in whole or in part, except as expressly permitted herein. In the event that any principal amount of this Note is prepaid, repaid, redeemed, accelerated, or otherwise satisfied prior to the Maturity Date for any reason (including, without limitation, as a result of a voluntary prepayment, mandatory prepayment, acceleration following an Event of Default, change of control, asset sale, refinancing, or operation of law), Borrower shall concurrently pay to Lender, in addition to the prepayment amount, an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued on the prepaid principal amount from the date of such prepayment through the Maturity Date at the interest rate applicable to this Note (the “Make-Whole Amount”).
1.3. Non-Circumvention. Borrower shall not take, nor permit any affiliate to take, any action or engage in any transaction or series of transactions, the primary purpose or reasonably foreseeable effect of which is to avoid, reduce, defer, or otherwise limit the payment of the Make-Whole Amount or any other amounts payable to Lender under this Note, including, without limitation, through any merger, consolidation, restructuring, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, asset sale, change of control, issuance of equity or equity-linked securities, incurrence or refinancing of indebtedness, or payment to any other creditor or equity holder. Any transaction or event resulting in the repayment, satisfaction, extinguishment, or economic replacement of this Note prior to the Maturity Date shall be deemed a prepayment for purposes of this Note and shall trigger the obligation to pay the Make-Whole Amount in full.
1.4. Mandatory Prepayment. Each time Borrower receives any money in connection with any fundraising or financing transaction (including, but not limited to, any warrant exercises, “at the market” financing, equity line of credit or debt financing), it shall immediately make a mandatory prepayment hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) five percent (5%) of the amount raised in such transaction, and (b) the Outstanding Balance due under this Note as of the closing date of such financing (the “Mandatory Prepayment”), payable within two (2) Trading Days of receiving such amount. For avoidance of doubt, the Mandatory Prepayment shall be subject to the Make-Whole Amount.
2. Security. This Note is secured by the Security Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, and the Guaranty (each as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
3. Trigger Events, Defaults and Remedies.
3.1. Trigger Events. The following are trigger events under this Note (each, a “Trigger Event”): (a) Borrower fails to pay any principal, interest, fees, charges, or any other amount when due and payable hereunder within one (1) day after such payment is due; (b) a receiver, trustee or other similar official shall be appointed over Borrower or a material part of its assets and such appointment shall remain uncontested for twenty (20) days or shall not be dismissed or discharged within sixty (60) days; (c) Borrower becomes insolvent or generally fails to pay, or admits in writing its inability to pay, its debts as they become due; (d) Borrower makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (e) Borrower files a petition for relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law (domestic or foreign); (f) an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding is commenced or filed against Borrower; (g) Borrower enters into a definitive agreement that contemplates a Fundamental Transaction that does not include as a condition to closing the full repayment of this Note, or Borrower consummates a Fundamental Transaction where this Note is not repaid in full at the closing of such Fundamental Transaction; (h) Borrower fails to observe or perform any covenant set forth in Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement; (i) Borrower defaults or otherwise fails to observe or perform any covenant, obligation, condition or agreement of Borrower contained herein or in any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), other than those specifically set forth in this Section 3.1 and Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement, and such failure continues for five (5) days; (j) any representation, warranty or other statement made or furnished by or on behalf of Borrower to Lender herein, in any Transaction Document, or otherwise in connection with the issuance of this Note is false, incorrect, incomplete or misleading in any material respect when made or furnished; (k) Borrower effectuates a reverse split of its Ordinary Shares without twenty (20) Trading Days prior written notice to Lender; (l) any money judgment, writ or similar process is entered or filed against Borrower or any subsidiary of Borrower or any of its property or other assets for more than $250,000.00, and shall remain unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of twenty (20) calendar days unless otherwise consented to by Lender; (m) a non-management supported preliminary proxy is filed against Borrower; or (n) Borrower or any subsidiary of Borrower, breaches any covenant or other term or condition contained in any Other Agreements, and such failure continues for five (5) days after notice thereof.

3.3. Defaults. At any time following the occurrence of a Trigger Event, Lender may, at its option, send written notice to Borrower demanding that Borrower cure the Trigger Event within five (5) Trading Days. If Borrower fails to cure the Trigger Event within the required five (5) Trading Day cure period, the Trigger Event will automatically become an event of default hereunder (an “Event of Default”).
| 2 |
3.4. Default Remedies. At any time and from time to time following the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may accelerate this Note by written notice to Borrower, with the Outstanding Balance becoming immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Trigger Event described in clauses (b) – (f) of Section 3.1, an Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred and the Outstanding Balance as of the date of the occurrence of such Trigger Event shall become immediately and automatically due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount, without any written notice required by Lender for the Trigger Event to become an Event of Default. At any time following the occurrence of any Event of Default, upon written notice given by Lender to Borrower, interest shall accrue on the Outstanding Balance beginning on the date the applicable Event of Default occurred at an interest rate equal to the lesser of twenty-two percent (22%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law (“Default Interest”). In connection with acceleration described herein, Lender need not provide, and Borrower hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and Lender may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by Lender at any time prior to payment hereunder and Lender shall have all rights as a holder of the Note until such time, if any, as Lender receives full payment. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Trigger Event or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Nothing herein shall limit Lender’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.
4. Unconditional Obligation; No Offset. Borrower acknowledges that this Note is an unconditional, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of Borrower not subject to offset, deduction or counterclaim of any kind. Borrower hereby knowingly, voluntarily and irrevocably waives any rights of offset, counterclaim, defense or recoupment it now has or may have hereafter against Lender, its successors and assigns, and agrees to make the payments called for herein in accordance with the terms of this Note.
5. Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Note shall be effective unless it is in the form of a writing signed by the party granting the waiver. No waiver of any provision or consent to any prohibited action shall constitute a waiver of any other provision or consent to any other prohibited action, whether or not similar. No waiver or consent shall constitute a continuing waiver or consent or commit a party to provide a waiver or consent in the future except to the extent specifically set forth in writing.
6. Governing Law; Venue. This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Note shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Utah or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Utah. The provisions set forth in the Purchase Agreement to determine the proper venue for any disputes are incorporated herein by this reference.
7. Arbitration of Disputes. By its issuance or acceptance of this Note, each party agrees to be bound by the Arbitration Provisions (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) set forth as an exhibit to the Purchase Agreement, and subject to Section 9.1 thereof.
8. Amendments. The written consent of both parties hereto shall be required for any change or amendment to this Note.
9. Assignments. Borrower may not assign this Note without the prior written consent of Lender. This Note may be offered, sold, assigned or transferred by Lender without the consent of Borrower.
10. Notices. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Note, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with the subsection of the Purchase Agreement titled “Notices.”
11. Liquidated Damages. Lender and Borrower agree that in the event Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms or provisions of this Note, Lender’s damages would be uncertain and difficult (if not impossible) to accurately estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and other relevant factors. Accordingly, Lender and Borrower agree that any fees, balance adjustments, Default Interest or other charges assessed under this Note are not penalties but instead are intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, liquidated damages.
12. Severability. If any part of this Note is construed to be in violation of any law, such part shall be modified to achieve the objectives of Borrower and Lender to the fullest extent permitted by law and the balance of this Note shall remain in full force and effect.

8.4. Outbound Investment Status. Company represents and warrants to Investor, as of the Closing Date, that: Company is not a “covered foreign person” under 31 C.F.R. § 850.209. Furthermore, Company does not currently engage, and has no intention to engage, in any “covered activity” or “covered transaction” (as defined in 31 C.F.R. §§ 850.208 and 850.210) that would result in a “notifiable transaction” or a “prohibited transaction” (as defined in 31 C.F.R. § 850.217 and 850.224), or that would otherwise violate, or cause Investor to violate, any “Outbound Investment Law.” For purposes of this Agreement, “Outbound Investment Law” refers to any legal requirement related to the “Outbound Investment Regulations” (31 C.F.R. §§ 850.101–850.904) and Executive Order 14105.
9. Miscellaneous. The provisions set forth in this Section 9 shall apply to this Agreement, as well as all other Transaction Documents as if these terms were fully set forth therein; provided, however, that in the event there is a conflict between any provision set forth in this Section 9 and any provision in any other Transaction Document, the provision in such other Transaction Document shall govern.
9.1. Arbitration of Claims. The parties shall submit all Claims (as defined in Exhibit G) arising under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other agreement between the parties and their affiliates or any Claim relating to the relationship of the parties to binding arbitration pursuant to the arbitration provisions set forth in Exhibit G attached hereto (the “Arbitration Provisions”). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the injunctive relief described in Section 9.3 below may be pursued in an arbitration that is separate and apart from any other arbitration regarding all other Claims arising under the Transaction Documents or, at Investor’s election in its sole discretion, may be pursued in any court of competent jurisdiction notwithstanding the Arbitration Provisions. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Arbitration Provisions are unconditionally binding on the parties hereto and are severable from all other provisions of this Agreement. By executing this Agreement, Company represents, warrants and covenants that Company has reviewed the Arbitration Provisions carefully, consulted with legal counsel about such provisions (or waived its right to do so), understands that the Arbitration Provisions are intended to allow for the expeditious and efficient resolution of any dispute hereunder, agrees to the terms and limitations set forth in the Arbitration Provisions, and that Company will not take a position contrary to the foregoing representations. Company acknowledges and agrees that Investor may rely upon the foregoing representations and covenants of Company regarding the Arbitration Provisions.

9.2. Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Utah or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Utah. Each party consents to and expressly agrees that the exclusive venue for arbitration of any dispute arising out of or relating to any Transaction Document or the relationship of the parties or their affiliates shall be in Salt Lake County, Utah. Without modifying the parties’ obligations to resolve disputes hereunder pursuant to the Arbitration Provisions, for any litigation arising in connection with any of the Transaction Documents each party hereto hereby (i) consents to and expressly submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah, (ii) expressly submits to the exclusive venue of any such court for the purposes hereof, (iii) agrees to not bring any such action outside of any state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah, and (iv) waives any claim of improper venue and any claim or objection that such courts are an inconvenient forum or any other claim, defense or objection to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdiction or to any claim that such venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Company acknowledges that the governing law and venue provisions set forth in this Section 9.2 are material terms to induce Investor to enter into the Transaction Documents and that but for Company’s agreements set forth in this Section 9.2 Investor would not have entered into the Transaction Documents.
9.3. Specific Performance. Company acknowledges and agrees that Investor may suffer irreparable harm if Company fails to perform any material provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents in accordance with its specific terms. It is accordingly agreed that Investor shall be entitled to one or more injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement or such other Transaction Document and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which Investor may be entitled under the Transaction Documents, at law or in equity. Company specifically agrees that: (i) following an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) under the Note, Investor shall have the right to seek and receive injunctive relief from a court or an arbitrator prohibiting Company from issuing any of its Ordinary Shares or preferred stock to any party unless fifty percent (50%) of the gross proceeds received by Company in connection with such issuance are simultaneously used by Company to make a payment under the Note; (ii) following a breach of Section 4(v) above, Investor shall have the right to seek and receive injunctive relief from a court or arbitrator invalidating such lock-up; and (iii) if Company or any of its subsidiaries enters into a definitive agreement that contemplates a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Note), unless such agreement contains a closing condition that the Note are repaid in full upon consummation of the transaction or Investor has provided its written consent in a signed writing to such Fundamental Transaction, Investor shall have the right to seek and receive injunctive relief from a court or arbitrator preventing the consummation of such transaction. Company specifically acknowledges that Investor’s right to obtain specific performance constitutes bargained for leverage and that the loss of such leverage would result in irreparable harm to Investor. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event Investor seeks to obtain an injunction from a court or an arbitrator against Company or specific performance of any provision of any Transaction Document, such action shall not be a waiver of any right of Investor under any Transaction Document, at law, or in equity, including without limitation its rights to arbitrate any Claim pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents, nor shall Investor’s pursuit of an injunction prevent Investor, under the doctrines of claim preclusion, issues preclusion, res judicata or other similar legal doctrines, from pursuing other Claims in the future in a separate arbitration
9.4. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be signed via electronic signature (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.
9.5. Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.
9.6. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform to such statute or rule of law. Any provision hereof which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.

For the avoidance of doubt, all prior term sheets or other documents between Company and Investor, or any affiliate thereof, related to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (collectively, “Prior Agreements”), that may have been entered into between Company and Investor, or any affiliate thereof, are hereby null and void and deemed to be replaced in their entirety by the Transaction Documents. To the extent there is a conflict between any term set forth in any Prior Agreement and the term(s) of the Transaction Documents, the Transaction Documents shall govern.

9.14. Attorneys’ Fees and Cost of Collection. In the event any suit, action or arbitration is filed by either party against the other to interpret or enforce any of the Transaction Documents, the unsuccessful party to such action agrees to pay to the prevailing party all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred therein, including the same with respect to an appeal. The “prevailing party” shall be the party in whose favor a judgment is entered, regardless of whether judgment is entered on all claims asserted by such party and regardless of the amount of the judgment; or where, due to the assertion of counterclaims, judgments are entered in favor of and against both parties, then the judge or arbitrator shall determine the “prevailing party” by taking into account the relative dollar amounts of the judgments or, if the judgments involve nonmonetary relief, the relative importance and value of such relief. Nothing herein shall restrict or impair an arbitrator’s or a court’s power to award fees and expenses for frivolous or bad faith pleading. If (i) the Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement prior to commencing arbitration or legal proceedings, or is collected or enforced through any arbitration or legal proceeding, or Investor otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under the Note or to enforce the provisions of the Note, or (ii) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of Company or other proceedings affecting Company’s creditors’ rights and involving a claim under the Note; then Company shall pay the costs incurred by Investor for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses, deposition costs, and disbursements.
9.15. Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in the form of a writing signed by the party granting the waiver. No waiver of any provision or consent to any prohibited action shall constitute a waiver of any other provision or consent to any other prohibited action, whether or not similar. No waiver or consent shall constitute a continuing waiver or consent or commit a party to provide a waiver or consent in the future except to the extent specifically set forth in writing.
9.16. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO DEMAND THAT ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, OR THE RELATIONSHIPS OF THE PARTIES HERETO BE TRIED BY JURY.

FURTHER, EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SUCH PARTY IS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVING SUCH PARTY’S RIGHT TO DEMAND TRIAL BY JURY.
9.17. Time is of the Essence. Time is expressly made of the essence with respect to each and every provision of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
9.18. Voluntary Agreement.

This Secured Promissory Note (this “Note”) is issued and made effective as of the date set forth above (the “Effective Date”).

The purchase price for this Note shall be $2,000,000.00 (the “Purchase Price”), computed as follows: $2,190,000.00 original principal balance, less the OID and the Transaction Expense Amount.
1. Payments.
1.1. Payment. All payments owing hereunder shall be in lawful money of the United States of America as provided for herein and delivered to Lender at the address or bank account furnished to Borrower for that purpose. All payments shall be applied first to (a) costs of collection, if any, then to (b) fees and charges, if any, then to (c) accrued and unpaid interest, and thereafter, to (d) principal.
1.2. Prepayment; Make-Whole. Borrower may prepay this Note, in whole or in part, except as expressly permitted herein.

The following are trigger events under this Note (each, a “Trigger Event”): (a) Borrower fails to pay any principal, interest, fees, charges, or any other amount when due and payable hereunder within one (1) day after such payment is due; (b) a receiver, trustee or other similar official shall be appointed over Borrower or a material part of its assets and such appointment shall remain uncontested for twenty (20) days or shall not be dismissed or discharged within sixty (60) days; (c) Borrower becomes insolvent or generally fails to pay, or admits in writing its inability to pay, its debts as they become due; (d) Borrower makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (e) Borrower files a petition for relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law (domestic or foreign); (f) an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding is commenced or filed against Borrower; (g) Borrower enters into a definitive agreement that contemplates a Fundamental Transaction that does not include as a condition to closing the full repayment of this Note, or Borrower consummates a Fundamental Transaction where this Note is not repaid in full at the closing of such Fundamental Transaction; (h) Borrower fails to observe or perform any covenant set forth in Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement; (i) Borrower defaults or otherwise fails to observe or perform any covenant, obligation, condition or agreement of Borrower contained herein or in any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), other than those specifically set forth in this Section 3.1 and Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement, and such failure continues for five (5) days; (j) any representation, warranty or other statement made or furnished by or on behalf of Borrower to Lender herein, in any Transaction Document, or otherwise in connection with the issuance of this Note is false, incorrect, incomplete or misleading in any material respect when made or furnished; (k) Borrower effectuates a reverse split of its Ordinary Shares without twenty (20) Trading Days prior written notice to Lender; (l) any money judgment, writ or similar process is entered or filed against Borrower or any subsidiary of Borrower or any of its property or other assets for more than $250,000.00, and shall remain unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of twenty (20) calendar days unless otherwise consented to by Lender; (m) a non-management supported preliminary proxy is filed against Borrower; or (n) Borrower or any subsidiary of Borrower, breaches any covenant or other term or condition contained in any Other Agreements, and such failure continues for five (5) days after notice thereof.
3.2. Trigger Event Remedies. At any time following the occurrence of any Trigger Event, Lender may, at its option, increase the Outstanding Balance by applying the Trigger Effect (subject to the limitation set forth below).
3.3. Defaults. At any time following the occurrence of a Trigger Event, Lender may, at its option, send written notice to Borrower demanding that Borrower cure the Trigger Event within five (5) Trading Days. If Borrower fails to cure the Trigger Event within the required five (5) Trading Day cure period, the Trigger Event will automatically become an event of default hereunder (an “Event of Default”).
| 2 |
3.4. Default Remedies. At any time and from time to time following the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may accelerate this Note by written notice to Borrower, with the Outstanding Balance becoming immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Trigger Event described in clauses (b) – (f) of Section 3.1, an Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred and the Outstanding Balance as of the date of the occurrence of such Trigger Event shall become immediately and automatically due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount, without any written notice required by Lender for the Trigger Event to become an Event of Default. At any time following the occurrence of any Event of Default, upon written notice given by Lender to Borrower, interest shall accrue on the Outstanding Balance beginning on the date the applicable Event of Default occurred at an interest rate equal to the lesser of twenty-two percent (22%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law (“Default Interest”). In connection with acceleration described herein, Lender need not provide, and Borrower hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and Lender may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by Lender at any time prior to payment hereunder and Lender shall have all rights as a holder of the Note until such time, if any, as Lender receives full payment. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Trigger Event or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Nothing herein shall limit Lender’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.
4. Unconditional Obligation; No Offset. Borrower acknowledges that this Note is an unconditional, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of Borrower not subject to offset, deduction or counterclaim of any kind. Borrower hereby knowingly, voluntarily and irrevocably waives any rights of offset, counterclaim, defense or recoupment it now has or may have hereafter against Lender, its successors and assigns, and agrees to make the payments called for herein in accordance with the terms of this Note.
5. Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Note shall be effective unless it is in the form of a writing signed by the party granting the waiver. No waiver of any provision or consent to any prohibited action shall constitute a waiver of any other provision or consent to any other prohibited action, whether or not similar. No waiver or consent shall constitute a continuing waiver or consent or commit a party to provide a waiver or consent in the future except to the extent specifically set forth in writing.
6. Governing Law; Venue. This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Note shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Utah or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Utah. The provisions set forth in the Purchase Agreement to determine the proper venue for any disputes are incorporated herein by this reference.
7. Arbitration of Disputes. By its issuance or acceptance of this Note, each party agrees to be bound by the Arbitration Provisions (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) set forth as an exhibit to the Purchase Agreement, and subject to Section 9.1 thereof.

8. Amendments. The written consent of both parties hereto shall be required for any change or amendment to this Note.
9. Assignments. Borrower may not assign this Note without the prior written consent of Lender. This Note may be offered, sold, assigned or transferred by Lender without the consent of Borrower.
10. Notices. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Note, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with the subsection of the Purchase Agreement titled “Notices.”
11. Liquidated Damages. Lender and Borrower agree that in the event Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms or provisions of this Note, Lender’s damages would be uncertain and difficult (if not impossible) to accurately estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and other relevant factors. Accordingly, Lender and Borrower agree that any fees, balance adjustments, Default Interest or other charges assessed under this Note are not penalties but instead are intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, liquidated damages.
12. Severability. If any part of this Note is construed to be in violation of any law, such part shall be modified to achieve the objectives of Borrower and Lender to the fullest extent permitted by law and the balance of this Note shall remain in full force and effect.

7. Default and Remedies.
7.1. Default. Each Debtor shall be deemed in default under this Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.
7.2. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default, Secured Party shall have the rights of a secured creditor under the UCC, all rights granted by this Agreement and by law, including, without limiting the foregoing, (a) the right to require Debtors to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured Party, and (b) the right to take possession of the Collateral, and for that purpose Secured Party may enter upon premises on which the Collateral may be situated and remove the Collateral therefrom. Each Debtor hereby agrees that ten (10) days’ notice of a public sale of any Collateral or notice of the date after which a private sale of any Collateral may take place is reasonable, provided that any shorter notice period permitted under the applicable UCC shall be deemed reasonable. In addition, each Debtor waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of Secured Party’s rights and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, Secured Party’s right following an Event of Default to take immediate possession of Collateral and to exercise Secured Party’s rights and remedies with respect thereto. Secured Party may also have a receiver appointed to take charge of all or any portion of the Collateral and to exercise all rights of Secured Party under this Agreement. Secured Party may exercise any of its rights under this Section 7.2 without demand or notice of any kind. The remedies in this Agreement, including without limitation this Section 7.2, are in addition to, not in limitation of, any other right, power, privilege, or remedy, either in law, in equity, or otherwise, to which Secured Party may be entitled. No failure or delay on the part of Secured Party in exercising any right, power, or remedy will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right hereunder. All of Secured Party’s rights and remedies, whether evidenced by this Agreement or by any other agreement, instrument or document shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.
7.3. Standards for Exercising Rights and Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Debtor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Secured Party: (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Secured Party to prepare Collateral for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to fail to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as Debtors, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Secured Party against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Secured Party a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by Secured Party, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Secured Party in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Debtor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Secured Party would fulfill Secured Party’s duties under the UCC in Secured Party’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Secured Party shall not be deemed to fail to fulfill such duties solely on account of not being indicated in this Section. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any rights to Debtors or to impose any duties on Secured Party that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section.
7.4. Marshalling. Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future Collateral for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or to resort to such Collateral or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such Collateral and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, each Debtor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of Collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Secured Party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, Debtors hereby irrevocably waive the benefits of all such laws.
7.5. Application of Collateral Proceeds. The proceeds and/or avails of the Collateral, or any part thereof, and the proceeds and the avails of any remedy hereunder (as well as any other amounts of any kind held by Secured Party at the time of, or received by Secured Party after, the occurrence of an Event of Default) shall be paid to and applied as follows:
(a) First, to the payment of reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Secured Party, including all amounts expended to preserve the value of the Collateral, of foreclosure or suit, if any, and of such sale and the exercise of any other rights or remedies, and of all proper fees, expenses, liability and advances, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, incurred or made hereunder by Secured Party;

The powers conferred on Secured Party under this Section 6 are solely to protect its interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Secured Party shall be accountable only for the amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither Secured Party nor any of its stockholders, directors, officers, managers, members, employees or agents shall be responsible to Debtors for any act or failure to act, except with respect to Secured Party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Nothing in this Section 6 shall be deemed an authorization for Debtors to take any action that it is otherwise expressly prohibited from undertaking by way of other provision of this Agreement.
7. Default and Remedies.
7.1. Default. Each Debtor shall be deemed in default under this Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.
7.2. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default, Secured Party shall have the rights of a secured creditor under the UCC, all rights granted by this Agreement and by law, including, without limiting the foregoing, (a) the right to require Debtors to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured Party, and (b) the right to take possession of the Collateral, and for that purpose Secured Party may enter upon premises on which the Collateral may be situated and remove the Collateral therefrom. Each Debtor hereby agrees that ten (10) days’ notice of a public sale of any Collateral or notice of the date after which a private sale of any Collateral may take place is reasonable, provided that any shorter notice period permitted under the applicable UCC shall be deemed reasonable. In addition, each Debtor waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of Secured Party’s rights and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, Secured Party’s right following an Event of Default to take immediate possession of Collateral and to exercise Secured Party’s rights and remedies with respect thereto. Secured Party may also have a receiver appointed to take charge of all or any portion of the Collateral and to exercise all rights of Secured Party under this Agreement. Secured Party may exercise any of its rights under this Section 7.2 without demand or notice of any kind. The remedies in this Agreement, including without limitation this Section 7.2, are in addition to, not in limitation of, any other right, power, privilege, or remedy, either in law, in equity, or otherwise, to which Secured Party may be entitled. No failure or delay on the part of Secured Party in exercising any right, power, or remedy will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right hereunder. All of Secured Party’s rights and remedies, whether evidenced by this Agreement or by any other agreement, instrument or document shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.
7.3. Standards for Exercising Rights and Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Debtor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Secured Party: (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Secured Party to prepare Collateral for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to fail to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as Debtors, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Secured Party against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Secured Party a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by Secured Party, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Secured Party in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Debtor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Secured Party would fulfill Secured Party’s duties under the UCC in Secured Party’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Secured Party shall not be deemed to fail to fulfill such duties solely on account of not being indicated in this Section. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any rights to Debtors or to impose any duties on Secured Party that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section.
7.4. Marshalling. Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future Collateral for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or to resort to such Collateral or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such Collateral and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, each Debtor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of Collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Secured Party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, Debtors hereby irrevocably waive the benefits of all such laws.
7.5. Application of Collateral Proceeds. The proceeds and/or avails of the Collateral, or any part thereof, and the proceeds and the avails of any remedy hereunder (as well as any other amounts of any kind held by Secured Party at the time of, or received by Secured Party after, the occurrence of an Event of Default) shall be paid to and applied as follows:
(a) First, to the payment of reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Secured Party, including all amounts expended to preserve the value of the Collateral, of foreclosure or suit, if any, and of such sale and the exercise of any other rights or remedies, and of all proper fees, expenses, liability and advances, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, incurred or made hereunder by Secured Party;
(b) Second, to the payment to Secured Party of the amount then owing or unpaid on the Note (to be applied first to accrued interest and second to outstanding principal) and all amounts owed under any of the other Transaction Documents or other documents included within the Obligations; and
(c) Third, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to Debtors, their successors and assigns, or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same; provided that nothing in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be construed to restrict, limit or curtail Secured Party’s right to exercise the remedies set forth herein in its sole and absolute discretion.
In the absence of final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations, each Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency.
8. Miscellaneous.

Debtors waive any right to require Secured Party to proceed against any person or entity or to exhaust any Collateral or to pursue any remedy in Secured Party’s power.

(iv) Pledgor has fully performed under all agreements between it and the Subsidiaries pursuant to which the Pledged Interests were issued and the Subsidiaries have no claims, defenses or rights of offset against Pledgor or the Pledged Interests pursuant to the terms of any such agreements;
| 2 |

(iii) Each Pledgor has been advised by counsel of the elements of a bona-fide pledge for purposes of determining the holding period for restricted securities under Rule 144(d)(3)(iv) under the Securities Act, including the relevant U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission interpretations, and affirms that the pledge of units by Pledgor pursuant to this Agreement will constitute a bona-fide pledge of such units for purposes of such Rule.
(iv) No Pledgor will consent to or otherwise approve of or cause the Subsidiaries to consent to or otherwise approve of or take any action that amends or alters the rights of the Pledged Interests to the detriment of Secured Party without the written consent of Secured Party to such amendment.

6. Collection of Dividends and Interest.

| 3 |
8. Warrants and Options. In the event that, during the term of this Agreement, subscription, spin-off, warrants, dividends, or any other rights or option shall be issued in connection with the Collateral, such warrants, dividends, rights and options shall immediately be deemed to have become part of the Collateral and, to the extent such items of Collateral are certificated, shall promptly be delivered to Secured Party to be held under the terms hereof in the same manner as the Collateral.
9. Preservation of the Value of the Collateral. Each Pledgor shall pay all taxes, charges, and assessments against the Collateral and do all acts necessary to preserve and maintain the value thereof.
10. Secured Party as Pledgors’ Attorney-in-Fact.
(a) Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party as Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of Pledgor and in the name of Pledgor, Secured Party or otherwise, only after the occurrence of an Event of Default, from time to time at Secured Party’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument, that Secured Party may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including: (i) to receive, endorse, and collect all instruments made payable to Pledgor representing any dividend, interest payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof to the extent permitted hereunder and to give full discharge for the same and to execute and file governmental notifications and reporting forms; and (ii) to arrange for the transfer of the Collateral on the books of the Subsidiaries or any other person to the name of Secured Party or to the name of Secured Party’s nominee.
(b) In addition to the designation of Secured Party as each Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact in subsection (a), each Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party as such Pledgor’s agent and attorney-in-fact, only after the occurrence of an Event of Default, to make, execute and deliver any and all documents and writings which may be necessary or appropriate for approval of, or be required by, any regulatory authority located in any city, county, state or country where such Pledgor or any of the Subsidiaries engages in business, in order to transfer or to more effectively transfer any of the Pledged Interests or otherwise enforce Secured Party’s rights hereunder.
11. Remedies upon Default. After the occurrence of any Event of Default:
(a) Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to Secured Party, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under applicable law, including without limitation the Utah Uniform Commercial Code (irrespective of whether such applies to the affected items of Collateral), and Secured Party may also without notice (except as specified below) (i) convert the Collateral into an electronic format, if applicable, (ii) cause the Subsidiaries’ transfer agent, if applicable, to put all certificates evidencing the Pledged Interests into Secured Party’s name and instruct the Subsidiaries’ transfer agent (if any) to remove all legends from such certificates, and (iii) sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, irrespective of the impact of any such sales on the market price of the Collateral. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply all or any part of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price of any Collateral payable at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of the applicable Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay, or appraisal that such Pledgor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) calendar days’ notice to Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which a private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Pledgor hereby waives any claims against Secured Party arising because the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale, even if Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree.
| 4 |
(b) Each Pledgor hereby agrees that any sale or other disposition of the Collateral conducted in conformity with reasonable commercial practices of banks, insurance companies, or other financial institutions in the city and state where Secured Party is located in disposing of property similar to the Collateral shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable.
(c) Each Pledgor hereby acknowledges that the sale by Secured Party of any Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof in compliance with the Securities Act, as well as applicable “Blue Sky” or other state securities laws, may require strict limitations as to the manner in which Secured Party, or any subsequent transferee of the Collateral, may dispose thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that in order to protect Secured Party’s interest it may be necessary to sell the Collateral at a price less than the maximum price attainable if a sale were delayed or were made in another manner, such as a public offering under the Securities Act. No Pledgor has objection to a sale in such a manner and agrees that Secured Party shall have no obligation to obtain the maximum possible price for the Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor agrees that, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Secured Party may, subject to applicable law, from time to time attempt to sell all or any part of the Collateral by a private placement, restricting the bidders and prospective purchasers to those who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for investment only and not for distribution. In so doing, Secured Party may solicit offers to buy the Collateral or any part thereof for cash, from a limited number of investors reasonably believed by Secured Party to be institutional investors or other accredited investors who might be interested in purchasing the Collateral. If Secured Party shall solicit such offers, then the acceptance by Secured Party of one of the offers shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable method of disposition of the Collateral.
(d) If Secured Party shall determine to exercise Secured Party’s right to sell all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to this Section, then each Pledgor agrees that, upon request of Secured Party, Pledgor, at Pledgor’s own expense, shall:
(i) execute and deliver, or cause the officers and directors of the Subsidiaries to execute and deliver, to any person, entity or governmental authority as Secured Party may choose, any and all documents and writings which, in Secured Party’s reasonable judgment, may be necessary or appropriate for approval, or be required by, any regulatory authority located in any city, county, state or country where the applicable Pledgor or any the Subsidiaries engage in business, in order to transfer or to more effectively transfer the Collateral or otherwise enforce Secured Party’s rights hereunder; and
| 5 |
(ii) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.
Each Pledgor acknowledges that there is no adequate remedy at law for failure by Pledgor to comply with the provisions of this Section 11 and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, and therefore agrees that Pledgor’s agreements contained in this Section 11 may be specifically enforced.
(e) EACH PLEDGOR EXPRESSLY WAIVES TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (i) ANY CONSTITUTIONAL OR OTHER RIGHT TO A JUDICIAL HEARING PRIOR TO THE TIME SECURED PARTY DISPOSES OF ALL OR ANY PART OF THE COLLATERAL AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION; (ii) ALL RIGHTS OF REDEMPTION, STAY, OR APPRAISAL THAT PLEDGOR NOW HAS OR MAY AT ANY TIME IN THE FUTURE HAVE UNDER ANY RULE OF LAW OR STATUTE NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ENACTED; AND (iii) EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SUBSECTION (a) OF THIS SECTION 11, ANY REQUIREMENT OF NOTICE, DEMAND, OR ADVERTISEMENT FOR SALE.
12. Application of Proceeds. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, any cash held by Secured Party as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by Secured Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to the exercise by Secured Party of Secured Party’s remedies as a secured creditor as provided in Section 11 shall be applied from time to time by Secured Party as follows:
(a) First, to the payment of reasonable costs and expenses, including all amounts expended to preserve the value of the Collateral, of foreclosure or suit, if any, and of such sale and the exercise of any other rights or remedies, and of all proper fees, expenses, liability and advances, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees and brokerage commissions related to selling any Collateral, incurred or made hereunder by Secured Party;
| 6 |
(b) Second, to the payment to Secured Party of the amount then owing or unpaid on the Note (to be applied first to any charges, fees and other expenses incurred thereunder, then to accrued interest and finally to outstanding principal) and under any of the other Transaction Documents; and
(c) Third, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to the applicable Pledgor, Pledgor’s assigns, or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, including the transfer to Pledgor of any remaining Collateral that has not been converted to cash proceeds. For the avoidance of doubt, any Pledged Interests that are not sold to satisfy any Pledgor’s Secured Obligations shall be returned to such Pledgor following the satisfaction of all of the Secured Obligations. Moreover, under no circumstance shall Secured Party return or be required to return any cash to any Pledgor.
In the absence of final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Secured Obligations, each Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents.
13. Indemnity and Expenses. Each Pledgor agrees:
(a) To indemnify and hold harmless Secured Party and each of Secured Party’s agents and affiliates from and against any and all claims, damages, demands, losses, obligations, judgments and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Secured Obligations, except to the extent the same shall arise as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking to be indemnified; and
(b) To pay and reimburse Secured Party upon demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) that Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the custody, use or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, including the reasonable expenses of re-taking, holding, preparing for sale or lease, selling or otherwise disposing of or realizing on the Collateral, (ii) the exercise or enforcement of any rights or remedies granted hereunder, under the Note or otherwise available to Secured Party (whether at law, in equity or otherwise), or (iii) the failure by Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. The provisions of this Section 13 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the repayment of any of the Secured Obligations, the termination of the commitments of Secured Party under the Note and the termination of this Agreement.
14. Duties of Secured Party. The powers conferred upon Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect Secured Party’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose on Secured Party any duty to exercise such powers. Except as provided in Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Utah, Secured Party shall have no duty with respect to the Collateral or any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any persons with respect to any Collateral.
| 7 |
15. Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Utah or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Utah. The provisions set forth in the Purchase Agreement to determine the proper venue for any disputes are incorporated herein by this reference.
16. Arbitration of Claims. Each party agrees to be bound by the Arbitration Provisions (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) set forth as an exhibit to the Purchase Agreement. For clarity, such arbitration shall be conducted in Salt Lake City, Utah, and each Pledgor hereby irrevocably consents to such venue.
17. Amendments; etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure by any Pledgor herefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Secured Party, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No failure on the part of Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right under this Agreement, any other document or documents delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Note, this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in conjunction herewith or therewith, or otherwise with respect to any of the Secured Obligations, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right under this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, or otherwise with respect to any of the Secured Obligations preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies provided for in this Agreement or otherwise with respect to any of the Secured Obligations are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by other agreement or applicable law.
18. Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing (unless otherwise specified herein) and shall be deemed effectively given on the earliest of: (a) the date delivered, if delivered by personal delivery as against written receipt therefor or by e-mail to an executive officer, or by facsimile (with successful transmission confirmation), (b) the earlier of the date delivered or the third business day after deposit, postage prepaid, in the United States Postal Service by certified mail, or (c) the earlier of the date delivered or the third business day after mailing by express courier, with delivery costs and fees prepaid, in each case, addressed to each of the other parties thereunto entitled at the addresses set forth in the Purchase Agreement in the “Notices” section (or at such other addresses as such party may designate by five (5) calendar days’ advance written notice similarly given to each of the other parties hereto).
19. Continuing Security Interest; Term. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall: (a) remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment and performance in full of all the Secured Obligations; (b) be binding upon each Pledgor and such Pledgor’s successors and assigns; and (c) inure to the benefit of Secured Party and Secured Party’s successors, transferees, and assigns. Upon the indefeasible payment and performance in full of all of the Secured Obligations, the security interests granted herein shall automatically, and without further action of any Pledgor or Secured Party required, terminate, all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Pledgor and the term of this Agreement shall end. Upon any such termination, Secured Party, at Pledgor’s expense, shall execute and deliver to Pledgor such documents as Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. Such documents shall be prepared by Pledgor and shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all provisions of this Agreement that by their nature are intended to survive the termination of this Agreement shall so survive such termination.
| 8 |
20. Security Interest Absolute. To the maximum extent permitted by law, all rights of Secured Party, all security interests hereunder, and all obligations of Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, including any of the Transaction Documents;
(b) any change in the time, manner, or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any of the Transaction Documents, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(c) any exchange, release, or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty for all or any of the Secured Obligations; or
(d) any other circumstances that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Pledgor.
21. Headings. Section and subsection headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement or be given any substantive effect.
22. Severability. If any part of this Agreement is construed to be in violation of any law, such part shall be modified to achieve the objective of the parties to the fullest extent permitted by law and the balance of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
23. Counterparts; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or email shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or email also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, or binding effect hereof.
24. Waiver of Marshaling. Each of Pledgor and Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that in exercising any rights under or with respect to the Collateral Secured Party: (a) is under no obligation to marshal any Collateral; (b) may, in Secured Party’s absolute discretion, realize upon the Collateral in any order and in any manner Secured Party so elects; and (c) may, in Secured Party’s sole and absolute discretion, apply the proceeds of any or all of the Collateral to the Secured Obligations in any order and in any manner Secured Party so elects, without any duty to maximize recovery or minimize losses. Pledgor waives any right to require the marshaling of any of the Collateral.
| 9 |
25. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PLEDGOR AND SECURED PARTY HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PLEDGOR AND SECURED PARTY REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER AND EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

Nothing herein shall restrict or impair a court’s power to award fees and expenses for frivolous or bad faith pleading.
27. Recitals. The recitals of this Agreement are contractual in nature and are hereby agreed to and incorporated into this Agreement.
28. Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Secured Party, any applicable Pledgor will promptly (and in any event within three (3) business days) execute and deliver any and all such further instruments and documents as Secured Party may reasonably deem necessary to obtain the full benefits and security of this Agreement, including, without limitation, executing and filing such financing or continuation statements, securities account control agreements or amendments thereto, as may be necessary or desirable or that Secured Party may reasonably request in order to perfect, preserve and enforce the security interest created hereby.
29. Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

[***]
PLEDGE AGREEMENT
This PLEDGE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of March 10, 2026 by and between Streeterville Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (the “Secured Party”), and Braiin Limited (ACN 660 713 093), an Australian public limited company (“Braiin Limited”), Vega Global Technologies Ltd, an Australian private limited company (“Vega”), Raptor300 Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Raptor Delaware”), and VIS Networks Pvt Ltd., an Indian private limited company (“VIS Networks”) (each, a “Pledgor” and together, the “Pledgors”).
A. Effective as of the date hereof, Secured Party purchased from Braiin Limited that certain Secured Promissory Note of even date herewith in the original principal amount of $2,190,000.00 (the “Note”). The Note was issued pursuant to a certain Note Purchase Agreement dated March 10, 2026 between Secured Party and Braiin Limited (the “Purchase Agreement”). Any capitalized term referred to herein without definition shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Purchase Agreement.
B. Each Pledgor has agreed to pledge all of the ordinary shares, shares of common stock, limited liability company interests, or other form of ownership interests (the “Pledged Interests”) in each of the subsidiaries of the applicable Pledgor listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto (the “Subsidiaries”), to secure performance of Pledgors’ obligations under the Note and related documents including, without limitation, the Guaranty.
C. Secured Party purchased the Note in reliance on Pledgors’ agreement to provide this pledge of the Pledged Interests as set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of $10.00, the premises, the mutual covenants and conditions contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Grant of Security Interest. Pledgors hereby pledge to Secured Party as collateral and security for the Secured Obligations (as defined in Section 2) and grant Secured Party a first-position security interest that ranks pari passu with the security interests securing existing secured debt of Debtor in favor of Secured Party and any third party, as applicable, which was disclosed to Secured Party prior to the date hereof, in all of the Pledged Interests. Secured Party shall have the right to exercise the rights and remedies set forth herein and in the Transaction Documents if an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) has occurred. Such Pledged Interests, together with any additions, replacements, accessions or substitutes therefor or proceeds thereof, are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Collateral.” Each Pledgor represents, warrants and covenants that it is and shall remain the sole beneficial and record owner of the Pledged Interests, as set forth in Schedule 1, free and clear of all encumbrances, other than Permitted Liens (as defined in the Security Agreement), and shall defend such ownership against all claims and demands whatsoever.
2. Secured Obligations. During the term hereof, the Collateral shall secure the performance by Pledgors of all of their obligations under the Note and the other Transaction Documents (the “Secured Obligations”).
3. Perfection of Security Interest.
(a) Each Pledgor will, at such Pledgor’s own expense, promptly cause to be searched the public records with respect to the Collateral and will execute, deliver, file and record (in such manner and form as Secured Party may require), or permit Secured Party to file and record, as such Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact, any financing statements, any carbon, photographic or other reproduction of a financing statement or this Agreement (which shall be sufficient as a financing statement hereunder), and any specific assignments or other paper that may be reasonably necessary or desirable, or that Secured Party may request, in order to create, preserve, perfect or validate any security interest or to enable Secured Party to exercise and enforce Secured Party’s rights hereunder with respect to any of the Collateral. Each Pledgor hereby appoints Secured Party as such Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact to execute in the name and on behalf of such Pledgor such additional financing statements as Secured Party may request.
(b) Each Pledgor hereby authorizes Secured Party to file one or more UCC-1 financing statements or other appropriate documents with applicable governmental agencies to evidence, perfect, and/or protect Secured Party’s security interest in the Collateral.
4. Assignment. In connection with the transfer of the Note made in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, Secured Party may assign or transfer the whole or any part of Secured Party’s security interest granted hereunder. Any such assignee or transferee of Secured Party shall be vested with all of the rights and powers of Secured Party hereunder with respect to the Collateral.
5. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Pledgors.
(a) Title. Each Pledgor hereby represents and warrants to Secured Party as follows with respect to the Collateral:
(i) The Pledged Interests have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Subsidiaries and are duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable;
(ii) The Pledged Interests represent 100% of the outstanding equity interests in each of the Subsidiaries, except as expressly set forth on Schedule 1;
(iii) The Pledged Interests are free from all taxes, liens, claims, pledges, mortgages, restrictions, obligations, security interests and encumbrances of any kind, nature or description other than Permitted Liens (as defined in the Security Agreement), and will not subject Secured Party to personal liability by reason of being the holder thereof;
(iv) Pledgor has fully performed under all agreements between it and the Subsidiaries pursuant to which the Pledged Interests were issued and the Subsidiaries have no claims, defenses or rights of offset against Pledgor or the Pledged Interests pursuant to the terms of any such agreements;
| 2 |
(v) Pledgor is the sole owner of the Collateral;
(vi) Pledgor agrees not to grant or create any security interest, claim, transfer restriction, lien, pledge or other encumbrance with respect to such Collateral other than Permitted Liens (as defined in the Security Agreement) or attempt to or actually sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, until the Secured Obligations have been paid and performed in full; and
(vii) This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Pledgor enforceable in accordance with its terms (except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium, and similar laws now or hereafter in effect).
(b) Other.
(i) Each Pledgor fully intends to fulfill and has the capability of fulfilling the Secured Obligations to be performed by Pledgor in accordance with the terms of the Note.
(ii) No Pledgor is acting, and has not agreed to act, in any plan to sell or dispose of any Pledged Interests in a manner intended to circumvent the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any applicable state or other law.
(iii) Each Pledgor has been advised by counsel of the elements of a bona-fide pledge for purposes of determining the holding period for restricted securities under Rule 144(d)(3)(iv) under the Securities Act, including the relevant U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission interpretations, and affirms that the pledge of units by Pledgor pursuant to this Agreement will constitute a bona-fide pledge of such units for purposes of such Rule.
(iv) No Pledgor will consent to or otherwise approve of or cause the Subsidiaries to consent to or otherwise approve of or take any action that amends or alters the rights of the Pledged Interests to the detriment of Secured Party without the written consent of Secured Party to such amendment. Each Pledgor further covenants and agrees not to take any action that would impair Secured Party’s rights hereunder or as a holder of the Pledged Interests without the written consent of Secured Party.
6. Collection of Dividends and Interest. After the occurrence of any Event of Default, Secured Party shall be authorized to collect as additional Collateral all dividends, distributions, interest payments, and other amounts that may be, or may become, due on any of the Collateral, to be held under the terms hereof in the same manner as the Collateral.
7. Voting Rights. During the term of this Agreement and until such time as this Agreement has terminated or Secured Party has exercised Secured Party’s rights under this Agreement to foreclose Secured Party’s interest in the Collateral, Pledgors shall have the right to exercise any voting rights evidenced by, or relating to, the Collateral, provided that such voting rights shall not be exercised in any manner that would impair the value of the Collateral or Secured Party’s rights therein or be inconsistent with or violate any provisions of this Agreement.
| 3 |
8. Warrants and Options. In the event that, during the term of this Agreement, subscription, spin-off, warrants, dividends, or any other rights or option shall be issued in connection with the Collateral, such warrants, dividends, rights and options shall immediately be deemed to have become part of the Collateral and, to the extent such items of Collateral are certificated, shall promptly be delivered to Secured Party to be held under the terms hereof in the same manner as the Collateral.
9. Preservation of the Value of the Collateral. Each Pledgor shall pay all taxes, charges, and assessments against the Collateral and do all acts necessary to preserve and maintain the value thereof.
10. Secured Party as Pledgors’ Attorney-in-Fact.
(a) Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party as Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of Pledgor and in the name of Pledgor, Secured Party or otherwise, only after the occurrence of an Event of Default, from time to time at Secured Party’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument, that Secured Party may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including: (i) to receive, endorse, and collect all instruments made payable to Pledgor representing any dividend, interest payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof to the extent permitted hereunder and to give full discharge for the same and to execute and file governmental notifications and reporting forms; and (ii) to arrange for the transfer of the Collateral on the books of the Subsidiaries or any other person to the name of Secured Party or to the name of Secured Party’s nominee.
(b) In addition to the designation of Secured Party as each Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact in subsection (a), each Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party as such Pledgor’s agent and attorney-in-fact, only after the occurrence of an Event of Default, to make, execute and deliver any and all documents and writings which may be necessary or appropriate for approval of, or be required by, any regulatory authority located in any city, county, state or country where such Pledgor or any of the Subsidiaries engages in business, in order to transfer or to more effectively transfer any of the Pledged Interests or otherwise enforce Secured Party’s rights hereunder.
11. Remedies upon Default. After the occurrence of any Event of Default:
(a) Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to Secured Party, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under applicable law, including without limitation the Utah Uniform Commercial Code (irrespective of whether such applies to the affected items of Collateral), and Secured Party may also without notice (except as specified below) (i) convert the Collateral into an electronic format, if applicable, (ii) cause the Subsidiaries’ transfer agent, if applicable, to put all certificates evidencing the Pledged Interests into Secured Party’s name and instruct the Subsidiaries’ transfer agent (if any) to remove all legends from such certificates, and (iii) sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable, irrespective of the impact of any such sales on the market price of the Collateral. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply all or any part of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price of any Collateral payable at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of the applicable Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay, or appraisal that such Pledgor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) calendar days’ notice to Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which a private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Pledgor hereby waives any claims against Secured Party arising because the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale, even if Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree.
| 4 |
(b) Each Pledgor hereby agrees that any sale or other disposition of the Collateral conducted in conformity with reasonable commercial practices of banks, insurance companies, or other financial institutions in the city and state where Secured Party is located in disposing of property similar to the Collateral shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable.
(c) Each Pledgor hereby acknowledges that the sale by Secured Party of any Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof in compliance with the Securities Act, as well as applicable “Blue Sky” or other state securities laws, may require strict limitations as to the manner in which Secured Party, or any subsequent transferee of the Collateral, may dispose thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that in order to protect Secured Party’s interest it may be necessary to sell the Collateral at a price less than the maximum price attainable if a sale were delayed or were made in another manner, such as a public offering under the Securities Act. No Pledgor has objection to a sale in such a manner and agrees that Secured Party shall have no obligation to obtain the maximum possible price for the Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor agrees that, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Secured Party may, subject to applicable law, from time to time attempt to sell all or any part of the Collateral by a private placement, restricting the bidders and prospective purchasers to those who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for investment only and not for distribution. In so doing, Secured Party may solicit offers to buy the Collateral or any part thereof for cash, from a limited number of investors reasonably believed by Secured Party to be institutional investors or other accredited investors who might be interested in purchasing the Collateral. If Secured Party shall solicit such offers, then the acceptance by Secured Party of one of the offers shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable method of disposition of the Collateral.
(d) If Secured Party shall determine to exercise Secured Party’s right to sell all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to this Section, then each Pledgor agrees that, upon request of Secured Party, Pledgor, at Pledgor’s own expense, shall:
(i) execute and deliver, or cause the officers and directors of the Subsidiaries to execute and deliver, to any person, entity or governmental authority as Secured Party may choose, any and all documents and writings which, in Secured Party’s reasonable judgment, may be necessary or appropriate for approval, or be required by, any regulatory authority located in any city, county, state or country where the applicable Pledgor or any the Subsidiaries engage in business, in order to transfer or to more effectively transfer the Collateral or otherwise enforce Secured Party’s rights hereunder; and
| 5 |
(ii) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.
Each Pledgor acknowledges that there is no adequate remedy at law for failure by Pledgor to comply with the provisions of this Section 11 and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, and therefore agrees that Pledgor’s agreements contained in this Section 11 may be specifically enforced.
(e) EACH PLEDGOR EXPRESSLY WAIVES TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (i) ANY CONSTITUTIONAL OR OTHER RIGHT TO A JUDICIAL HEARING PRIOR TO THE TIME SECURED PARTY DISPOSES OF ALL OR ANY PART OF THE COLLATERAL AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION; (ii) ALL RIGHTS OF REDEMPTION, STAY, OR APPRAISAL THAT PLEDGOR NOW HAS OR MAY AT ANY TIME IN THE FUTURE HAVE UNDER ANY RULE OF LAW OR STATUTE NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ENACTED; AND (iii) EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SUBSECTION (a) OF THIS SECTION 11, ANY REQUIREMENT OF NOTICE, DEMAND, OR ADVERTISEMENT FOR SALE.
12. Application of Proceeds. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, any cash held by Secured Party as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by Secured Party in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to the exercise by Secured Party of Secured Party’s remedies as a secured creditor as provided in Section 11 shall be applied from time to time by Secured Party as follows:
(a) First, to the payment of reasonable costs and expenses, including all amounts expended to preserve the value of the Collateral, of foreclosure or suit, if any, and of such sale and the exercise of any other rights or remedies, and of all proper fees, expenses, liability and advances, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees and brokerage commissions related to selling any Collateral, incurred or made hereunder by Secured Party;
| 6 |
(b) Second, to the payment to Secured Party of the amount then owing or unpaid on the Note (to be applied first to any charges, fees and other expenses incurred thereunder, then to accrued interest and finally to outstanding principal) and under any of the other Transaction Documents; and
(c) Third, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to the applicable Pledgor, Pledgor’s assigns, or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, including the transfer to Pledgor of any remaining Collateral that has not been converted to cash proceeds. For the avoidance of doubt, any Pledged Interests that are not sold to satisfy any Pledgor’s Secured Obligations shall be returned to such Pledgor following the satisfaction of all of the Secured Obligations. Moreover, under no circumstance shall Secured Party return or be required to return any cash to any Pledgor.
In the absence of final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Secured Obligations, each Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents.
13. Indemnity and Expenses. Each Pledgor agrees:
(a) To indemnify and hold harmless Secured Party and each of Secured Party’s agents and affiliates from and against any and all claims, damages, demands, losses, obligations, judgments and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Secured Obligations, except to the extent the same shall arise as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking to be indemnified; and
(b) To pay and reimburse Secured Party upon demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) that Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the custody, use or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, including the reasonable expenses of re-taking, holding, preparing for sale or lease, selling or otherwise disposing of or realizing on the Collateral, (ii) the exercise or enforcement of any rights or remedies granted hereunder, under the Note or otherwise available to Secured Party (whether at law, in equity or otherwise), or (iii) the failure by Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. The provisions of this Section 13 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the repayment of any of the Secured Obligations, the termination of the commitments of Secured Party under the Note and the termination of this Agreement.
14. Duties of Secured Party. The powers conferred upon Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect Secured Party’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose on Secured Party any duty to exercise such powers. Except as provided in Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Utah, Secured Party shall have no duty with respect to the Collateral or any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any persons with respect to any Collateral.

15. Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Utah or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Utah. The provisions set forth in the Purchase Agreement to determine the proper venue for any disputes are incorporated herein by this reference.
16. Arbitration of Claims. Each party agrees to be bound by the Arbitration Provisions (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) set forth as an exhibit to the Purchase Agreement. For clarity, such arbitration shall be conducted in Salt Lake City, Utah, and each Pledgor hereby irrevocably consents to such venue.
17. Amendments; etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure by any Pledgor herefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Secured Party, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No failure on the part of Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right under this Agreement, any other document or documents delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Note, this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in conjunction herewith or therewith, or otherwise with respect to any of the Secured Obligations, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right under this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, or otherwise with respect to any of the Secured Obligations preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies provided for in this Agreement or otherwise with respect to any of the Secured Obligations are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by other agreement or applicable law.
18. Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing (unless otherwise specified herein) and shall be deemed effectively given on the earliest of: (a) the date delivered, if delivered by personal delivery as against written receipt therefor or by e-mail to an executive officer, or by facsimile (with successful transmission confirmation), (b) the earlier of the date delivered or the third business day after deposit, postage prepaid, in the United States Postal Service by certified mail, or (c) the earlier of the date delivered or the third business day after mailing by express courier, with delivery costs and fees prepaid, in each case, addressed to each of the other parties thereunto entitled at the addresses set forth in the Purchase Agreement in the “Notices” section (or at such other addresses as such party may designate by five (5) calendar days’ advance written notice similarly given to each of the other parties hereto).
19. Continuing Security Interest; Term. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall: (a) remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment and performance in full of all the Secured Obligations; (b) be binding upon each Pledgor and such Pledgor’s successors and assigns; and (c) inure to the benefit of Secured Party and Secured Party’s successors, transferees, and assigns. Upon the indefeasible payment and performance in full of all of the Secured Obligations, the security interests granted herein shall automatically, and without further action of any Pledgor or Secured Party required, terminate, all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Pledgor and the term of this Agreement shall end. Upon any such termination, Secured Party, at Pledgor’s expense, shall execute and deliver to Pledgor such documents as Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. Such documents shall be prepared by Pledgor and shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all provisions of this Agreement that by their nature are intended to survive the termination of this Agreement shall so survive such termination.
| 8 |
20. Security Interest Absolute. To the maximum extent permitted by law, all rights of Secured Party, all security interests hereunder, and all obligations of Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, including any of the Transaction Documents;
(b) any change in the time, manner, or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any of the Transaction Documents, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(c) any exchange, release, or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty for all or any of the Secured Obligations; or
(d) any other circumstances that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Pledgor.
21. Headings. Section and subsection headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement or be given any substantive effect.
22. Severability. If any part of this Agreement is construed to be in violation of any law, such part shall be modified to achieve the objective of the parties to the fullest extent permitted by law and the balance of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
23. Counterparts; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or email shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or email also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, or binding effect hereof.
24. Waiver of Marshaling. Each of Pledgor and Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that in exercising any rights under or with respect to the Collateral Secured Party: (a) is under no obligation to marshal any Collateral; (b) may, in Secured Party’s absolute discretion, realize upon the Collateral in any order and in any manner Secured Party so elects; and (c) may, in Secured Party’s sole and absolute discretion, apply the proceeds of any or all of the Collateral to the Secured Obligations in any order and in any manner Secured Party so elects, without any duty to maximize recovery or minimize losses. Pledgor waives any right to require the marshaling of any of the Collateral.

Nothing herein shall restrict or impair a court’s power to award fees and expenses for frivolous or bad faith pleading.
27. Recitals. The recitals of this Agreement are contractual in nature and are hereby agreed to and incorporated into this Agreement.
28. Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Secured Party, any applicable Pledgor will promptly (and in any event within three (3) business days) execute and deliver any and all such further instruments and documents as Secured Party may reasonably deem necessary to obtain the full benefits and security of this Agreement, including, without limitation, executing and filing such financing or continuation statements, securities account control agreements or amendments thereto, as may be necessary or desirable or that Secured Party may reasonably request in order to perfect, preserve and enforce the security interest created hereby.

Exhibit 4.22
GUARANTY
This GUARANTY, made effective as of February 12, 2026, is given by each of the undersigned entities set forth on the signature page hereto (each, a “Guarantor”, and collectively, the “Guarantors”) for the benefit of Streeterville Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company, and its successors, transferees, and assigns (“Investor”).
PURPOSE
A. Braiin Limited (ACN 660 713 093), an Australian public limited company and parent of each Guarantor (“Company”), has issued to Investor that certain Secured Promissory Note of even date herewith in the original principal amount of $7,115,000.00 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified, the “Note”).
B. The Note was issued pursuant to the terms of a Note Purchase Agreement dated February __, 2026 between Company and Investor (as amended, restated or otherwise modified, the “Purchase Agreement”).
C. Investor agreed to provide the financing evidenced by the Note only upon the inducement and representation of Guarantors that Guarantors would guaranty all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of Company owed to Investor under the Note and all the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), as provided herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of $10.00 and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and in order to induce Investor to enter into the Transaction Documents and provide the financing contemplated therein, each Guarantor hereby agrees for the benefit of Investor as follows:
GUARANTY
1. Indebtedness Guaranteed. Each Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees the prompt payment in full of the Obligations (as defined below), as and when the same (including without limitation portions thereof) become due and payable. Each Guarantor acknowledges that the amount of the Obligations may include fees and charges according to the terms and conditions set forth in the Transaction Documents. Each Guarantor further acknowledges that the foregoing guarantee is made for the timely payment and performance of each of the Obligations and is not merely a guaranty of collection. For purposes of this Guaranty, “Obligations” means (a) all loans, advances, debts, liabilities and obligations, arising on or after the date of this Guaranty, owed by Company or Guarantors to Investor, whether created by the Note, the Purchase Agreement, or any other Transaction Documents, including any modification or amendment to any of the foregoing, and (b) all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Investor in connection with the collection or enforcement of any portion of the Obligations and the performance of the covenants and agreements of Company contained in the Transaction Documents. Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that it will not guarantee any other debt, liabilities, or obligations during the term of this Guaranty.
2. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to Investor that:
(a) Guarantor is an entity, organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, and has the power and authority and the legal right to own and operate its properties and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged.
(b) Guarantor has the power and authority and the legal right to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, this Guaranty and has taken all necessary action required by its form of organization to authorize such execution, delivery and performance.
(c) This Guaranty constitutes Guarantor’s legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).
(d) The execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty will not (i) violate any provision of any law, statute, rule or regulation or any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any court, governmental agency or arbitrator presently in effect having applicability to Guarantor, (ii) violate or contravene any provision of Guarantor’s organizational documents, or (iii) result in a breach of or constitute a default under any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any other material agreement, lease or instrument to which Guarantor is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound or result in the creation of any lien thereunder. Guarantor is not in default under or in violation of any such law, statute, rule or regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award or any such indenture, loan or credit agreement or other agreement, lease or instrument in any case in which the consequences of such default or violation could have a material adverse effect on its business, operations, properties, assets or condition (financial or otherwise).
(e) No order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority is required on Guarantor’s part to authorize, or is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of, or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of, this Guaranty.
(f) There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to Guarantor’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting Guarantor or any of its properties before any court or arbitrator, or any governmental department, board, agency or other instrumentality which, if determined adversely to Guarantor, would have a material adverse effect on its business, operations, property or condition (financial or otherwise) or on its ability to perform its obligations hereunder.
(g) (i) This Guaranty is not given with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any entity to which Guarantor is, or will become on or after the date of this Guaranty, indebted, and Guarantor has not engaged in any transaction or series of transactions with such intent, (ii) Guarantor has received at least a reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the giving of this Guaranty, (iii) Guarantor is not insolvent, as defined in any applicable state or federal statute, nor will Guarantor be rendered insolvent by the execution and delivery of this Guaranty to Investor, and (iv) Guarantor does not intend to incur debts that will be beyond Guarantor’s ability to pay as such debts become due.
| 2 |
(h) Guarantor has examined or has had the full opportunity to examine the other Transaction Documents, all the terms of which are acceptable to Guarantor.
(i) This Guaranty is given in consideration of Investor entering into the Transaction Documents and providing financing thereunder.
(j) Guarantor is not insolvent, as defined in any applicable state or federal statute, nor will Guarantor be rendered insolvent by the execution and delivery of this Guaranty to Investor.
(k) Guarantor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Company.
(l) Guarantor has received adequate consideration and at least a reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the giving of this Guaranty, which Guarantor hereby acknowledges having received, and thereby will materially benefit from the financial accommodations granted to Company by Investor pursuant to the Transaction Documents. Investor may rely conclusively on the continuing warranty, hereby made, that Guarantor continues to be benefitted by Investor’s extension of financial accommodations to Company and Investor shall have no duty to inquire into or confirm the receipt of any such benefits, and this Guaranty shall be effective and enforceable by Investor without regard to the receipt, nature or value of any such benefits. As such, this Guaranty is a valid and binding obligation of Guarantor. Guarantor further covenants and agrees that it will not use lack of consideration as a defense to its performance of its obligations under this Guaranty. Investor may rely conclusively on the continuing warranty, hereby made, that Guarantor continues to be benefitted by Investor’s extension of accommodations to Company and Guarantor, and Investor shall have no duty to inquire into or confirm the receipt of any such benefits, and this Guaranty shall be effective and enforceable by Investor without regard to the receipt, nature or value of any such benefits.
3. Alteration of Obligations. In such manner, upon such terms and at such times as Investor and Company deem best and without notice to Guarantors, Investor and Company may alter, compromise, accelerate, extend, renew or change the time or manner for the payment of any Obligation, release Company, as to all or any portion of the Obligations, release, substitute or add any one or more guarantors or endorsers, accept additional or substituted security therefor, or release or subordinate any security therefor. No exercise or non-exercise by Investor of any right available to Investor, no dealing by Investor with Guarantors or any other guarantor or any other person, and no change, impairment or release of all or a portion of the obligations of Company under any of the Transaction Documents or suspension of any right or remedy of Investor against any person, including, without limitation, Company and any other such guarantor, endorser or other person, shall in any way affect any of the obligations of Guarantors hereunder or any security furnished by Guarantors or give Guarantors any recourse against Investor. Guarantors acknowledge that their obligations hereunder are independent of the obligations of Company.
| 3 |
4. Waiver. To the extent permitted by law, each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to guarantors and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any such rights or remedies, including (without limitation) (a) any right to require Investor to proceed against Company or any other person or to pursue any other remedy in Investor’s power before proceeding against Guarantor; (b) any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other person or persons or the failure of Investor to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any other person or persons; (c) demand, protest and notice of any kind, including, without limitation, notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness, liability or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of Company, Investor, any endorser or creditor of Company or Guarantor or on the part of any other person whomsoever under this or any other instrument in connection with any obligation or liability or evidence of indebtedness held by Investor as collateral or in connection with any Obligation hereby guaranteed; (d) any defense based upon an election of remedies by Investor which may destroy or otherwise impair the subrogation rights of Guarantor or the right of Guarantor to proceed against Company for reimbursement, or both; provided, however, the Company makes no waiver as to the defense of payment; (e) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (f) any duty on the part of Investor to disclose to Guarantor any facts Investor may now or hereafter know about Company, regardless of whether Investor has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Guarantor intends to assume or has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Guarantor or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to Guarantor, since Guarantor acknowledges that it is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Company and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of non-payment of any Obligation; (g) any defense arising because of Investor’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code; (h) any defense based on any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code; (i) any claim, right or remedy which Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire against Company that arises hereunder and/or from the performance by Guarantor hereunder, including, without limitation, any claim, right or remedy of Investor against Company or any security which Investor now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise; and (j) any obligation of Investor to pursue any other guarantor or any other person, or to foreclose on any collateral.
5. Bankruptcy. So long as any Obligation shall be owing to Investor, Guarantors shall not, without the prior written consent of Investor, commence, or join with any other person in commencing, any bankruptcy, reorganization, or insolvency proceeding against Company. The obligations of Guarantors under this Guaranty shall not be altered, limited or affected by any proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of Company, or by any defense which Company may have by reason of any order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.
| 4 |
6. Claims in Bankruptcy. Guarantors shall file in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required or permitted by law all claims that Guarantors may have against Company relating to any indebtedness, liability or obligation of Company owed to Guarantors and will assign to Investor all rights of Guarantors thereunder. If any Guarantor does not file any such claim, Investor, as attorney-in-fact for Guarantor, is hereby authorized to do so in the name of Guarantor or, in Investor’s discretion, to assign the claim to a nominee and to cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of Investor’s nominee. The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Investor or Investor’s nominee shall have the sole right to accept or reject any plan proposed in such proceeding and to take any other action that a party filing a claim is entitled to do. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to Investor the amount payable on such claim and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, each Guarantor hereby assigns to Investor all of Guarantor’s rights to any such payments or distributions to which Guarantor would otherwise be entitled; provided, however, that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be deemed satisfied except to the extent that Investor receives cash by reason of any such payment or distribution. If Investor receives anything hereunder other than cash, the same shall be held as collateral for amounts due under this Guaranty. If at any time the holder of the Note is required to refund to Company any payments made by Company in connection with the Note because such payments have been held by a bankruptcy court having jurisdiction over Company to constitute a preference under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law then in effect, or for any other reason, then in addition to such Guarantor’s other obligation under this Guaranty, Guarantor shall reimburse the holder in the aggregate amount of such refund payments.
7. Costs and Attorneys’ Fees. If Company or any Guarantor fails to pay all or any portion of any Obligation, or any Guarantor otherwise breaches any provision hereof or otherwise defaults hereunder, Guarantors shall pay all such expenses and actual attorneys’ fees incurred by Investor in connection with the enforcement of any obligations of Guarantors hereunder, including, without limitation, any attorneys’ fees incurred in any negotiation, alternative dispute resolution proceeding subsequently agreed to by the parties, if any, litigation, or bankruptcy proceeding or any appeals from any of such proceedings.
8. Cumulative Rights. The amount of Guarantors’ liability and all rights, powers and remedies of Investor hereunder and under any other agreement now or at any time hereafter in force between Investor and Guarantors, including, without limitation, any other guaranty executed by Guarantors relating to any indebtedness, liability or obligation of Company owed to Investor, shall be cumulative and not alternative and such rights, powers and remedies shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to Investor by law. This Guaranty is in addition to and exclusive of the guaranty of any other guarantor of any indebtedness, liability or obligation of Company owed to Investor.
9. Independent Obligations. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder are independent of the obligations of Company and, to the extent permitted by law, in the event of any breach or default hereunder, a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantors whether or not Company is joined therein or a separate action or actions are brought against Company, and Investor shall have no obligation to separately pursue an action against Company with respect to the Obligations. Investor may maintain successive actions for other breaches or defaults. Investor’s rights hereunder shall not be exhausted by Investor’s exercise of any of Investor’s rights or remedies or by any such action or by any number of successive actions until and unless all Obligations have been paid and fully performed.
10. Severability. If any part of this Guaranty is construed to be in violation of any law, such part shall be modified to achieve the objective of the parties to the fullest extent permitted and the balance of this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect.
| 5 |
11. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of Investor, Investor’s successors and assigns, including the assignees of any Obligation, and shall bind the heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns of Guarantors. This Guaranty may be assigned by Investor with respect to all or any portion of the Obligations, and when so assigned, Guarantors shall be liable to the assignees under this Guaranty without in any manner affecting the liability of Guarantors hereunder with respect to any Obligations retained by Investor.
12. Notices. Whenever any Guarantor or Investor shall desire to give or serve any notice, demand, request or other communication with respect to this Guaranty, each such notice shall be given in writing (unless otherwise specified herein) and shall be deemed effectively given on the earliest of:
(a) the date delivered, if delivered by personal delivery as against written receipt therefor or by email to an executive officer, or by confirmed facsimile,
(b) the fifth business day after deposit, postage prepaid, in the United States Postal Service by registered or certified mail, or
(c) the third Trading Day after mailing by domestic or international express courier, with delivery costs and fees prepaid,
in each case, addressed to each of the other parties thereunto entitled at the address for such party (or Company, in respect of notices delivered to Guarantor) set forth in the Purchase Agreement (or at such other addresses as such party may designate by ten (10) calendar days’ advance written notice similarly given to each of the other parties hereto).
13. Application of Payments or Recoveries. With or without notice to Guarantors, Investor, in Investor’s sole discretion and at any time and from time to time and in such manner and upon such terms as Investor deems fit, may (a) apply any or all payments or recoveries from Company or from any other guarantor or endorser under any other instrument or realized from any security, in such manner and order of priority as Investor may determine, to any indebtedness, liability or obligation of Company owed to Investor, whether or not such indebtedness, liability or obligation is guaranteed hereby or is otherwise secured or is due at the time of such application; and (b) refund to Company any payment received by Investor in connection with any Obligation and payment of the amount refunded shall be fully guaranteed hereby.
14. Setoff. Investor shall have a right of setoff against all monies, securities and other property of Guarantors now or hereafter in the possession of, or on deposit with, Investor (if any), whether held in a general or special account or deposit, or for safekeeping or otherwise. Such right is in addition to any right of setoff Investor may have by law. All rights of setoff may be exercised without notice or demand to Guarantors. No right of setoff shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or conduct on the part of Investor, or by any neglect to exercise such right of setoff, or by any delay in doing so. Every right of setoff shall continue in full force and effect until specifically waived or released by an instrument in writing executed by Investor.
| 6 |
15. Covenants. Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that it will not take any of the following actions without Investor’s written consent, which consent be granted or withheld in Investor’s sole discretion: (a) except for Permitted Liens (as defined in the Security Agreement), Guarantor will not grant any security interest, lien, pledge or other encumbrance with respect to any of its assets; (b) Guarantor will not sell, transfer, or issue any of its equity interests or voting interests; (c) Guarantor will not terminate, sell, amend, transfer or assign, or enter into any contract to terminate, sell, amend, transfer or assign, any contract, contractual right, revenue stream or other material asset; (d) Guarantor will not incur any secured debt; and (e) Guarantor will not certificate any of its equity interests.

PURPOSE
A. Braiin Limited (ACN 660 713 093), an Australian public limited company and parent of each Guarantor (“Company”), has issued to Investor that certain Secured Promissory Note of even date herewith in the original principal amount of $2,190,000.00 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified, the “Note”).
B. The Note was issued pursuant to the terms of a Note Purchase Agreement dated March 10, 2026 between Company and Investor (as amended, restated or otherwise modified, the “Purchase Agreement”).
C. Investor agreed to provide the financing evidenced by the Note only upon the inducement and representation of Guarantors that Guarantors would guaranty all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of Company owed to Investor under the Note and all the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), as provided herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of $10.00 and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and in order to induce Investor to enter into the Transaction Documents and provide the financing contemplated therein, each Guarantor hereby agrees for the benefit of Investor as follows:
GUARANTY
1. Indebtedness Guaranteed. Each Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees the prompt payment in full of the Obligations (as defined below), as and when the same (including without limitation portions thereof) become due and payable. Each Guarantor acknowledges that the amount of the Obligations may include fees and charges according to the terms and conditions set forth in the Transaction Documents. Each Guarantor further acknowledges that the foregoing guarantee is made for the timely payment and performance of each of the Obligations and is not merely a guaranty of collection. For purposes of this Guaranty, “Obligations” means (a) all loans, advances, debts, liabilities and obligations, arising on or after the date of this Guaranty, owed by Company or Guarantors to Investor, whether created by the Note, the Purchase Agreement, or any other Transaction Documents, including any modification or amendment to any of the foregoing, and (b) all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Investor in connection with the collection or enforcement of any portion of the Obligations and the performance of the covenants and agreements of Company contained in the Transaction Documents. Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that it will not guarantee any other debt, liabilities, or obligations, other than Permitted Debt (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), during the term of this Guaranty.
2. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to Investor that:
(a) Guarantor is an entity, organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, and has the power and authority and the legal right to own and operate its properties and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged.
(b) Guarantor has the power and authority and the legal right to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, this Guaranty and has taken all necessary action required by its form of organization to authorize such execution, delivery and performance.
(c) This Guaranty constitutes Guarantor’s legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).
(d) The execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty will not (i) violate any provision of any law, statute, rule or regulation or any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any court, governmental agency or arbitrator presently in effect having applicability to Guarantor, (ii) violate or contravene any provision of Guarantor’s organizational documents, or (iii) result in a breach of or constitute a default under any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any other material agreement, lease or instrument to which Guarantor is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound or result in the creation of any lien thereunder. Guarantor is not in default under or in violation of any such law, statute, rule or regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award or any such indenture, loan or credit agreement or other agreement, lease or instrument in any case in which the consequences of such default or violation could have a material adverse effect on its business, operations, properties, assets or condition (financial or otherwise).
(e) No order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority is required on Guarantor’s part to authorize, or is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of, or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of, this Guaranty.
(f) There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to Guarantor’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting Guarantor or any of its properties before any court or arbitrator, or any governmental department, board, agency or other instrumentality which, if determined adversely to Guarantor, would have a material adverse effect on its business, operations, property or condition (financial or otherwise) or on its ability to perform its obligations hereunder.
(g) (i) This Guaranty is not given with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any entity to which Guarantor is, or will become on or after the date of this Guaranty, indebted, and Guarantor has not engaged in any transaction or series of transactions with such intent, (ii) Guarantor has received at least a reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the giving of this Guaranty, (iii) Guarantor is not insolvent, as defined in any applicable state or federal statute, nor will Guarantor be rendered insolvent by the execution and delivery of this Guaranty to Investor, and (iv) Guarantor does not intend to incur debts that will be beyond Guarantor’s ability to pay as such debts become due.
| 2 |
(h) Guarantor has examined or has had the full opportunity to examine the other Transaction Documents, all the terms of which are acceptable to Guarantor.
(i) This Guaranty is given in consideration of Investor entering into the Transaction Documents and providing financing thereunder.
(j) Guarantor is not insolvent, as defined in any applicable state or federal statute, nor will Guarantor be rendered insolvent by the execution and delivery of this Guaranty to Investor.
(k) Guarantor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Company.
(l) Guarantor has received adequate consideration and at least a reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the giving of this Guaranty, which Guarantor hereby acknowledges having received, and thereby will materially benefit from the financial accommodations granted to Company by Investor pursuant to the Transaction Documents. Investor may rely conclusively on the continuing warranty, hereby made, that Guarantor continues to be benefitted by Investor’s extension of financial accommodations to Company and Investor shall have no duty to inquire into or confirm the receipt of any such benefits, and this Guaranty shall be effective and enforceable by Investor without regard to the receipt, nature or value of any such benefits. As such, this Guaranty is a valid and binding obligation of Guarantor. Guarantor further covenants and agrees that it will not use lack of consideration as a defense to its performance of its obligations under this Guaranty. Investor may rely conclusively on the continuing warranty, hereby made, that Guarantor continues to be benefitted by Investor’s extension of accommodations to Company and Guarantor, and Investor shall have no duty to inquire into or confirm the receipt of any such benefits, and this Guaranty shall be effective and enforceable by Investor without regard to the receipt, nature or value of any such benefits.
3. Alteration of Obligations. In such manner, upon such terms and at such times as Investor and Company deem best and without notice to Guarantors, Investor and Company may alter, compromise, accelerate, extend, renew or change the time or manner for the payment of any Obligation, release Company, as to all or any portion of the Obligations, release, substitute or add any one or more guarantors or endorsers, accept additional or substituted security therefor, or release or subordinate any security therefor. No exercise or non-exercise by Investor of any right available to Investor, no dealing by Investor with Guarantors or any other guarantor or any other person, and no change, impairment or release of all or a portion of the obligations of Company under any of the Transaction Documents or suspension of any right or remedy of Investor against any person, including, without limitation, Company and any other such guarantor, endorser or other person, shall in any way affect any of the obligations of Guarantors hereunder or any security furnished by Guarantors or give Guarantors any recourse against Investor. Guarantors acknowledge that their obligations hereunder are independent of the obligations of Company.
| 3 |
4. Waiver. To the extent permitted by law, each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to guarantors and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any such rights or remedies, including (without limitation) (a) any right to require Investor to proceed against Company or any other person or to pursue any other remedy in Investor’s power before proceeding against Guarantor; (b) any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other person or persons or the failure of Investor to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any other person or persons; (c) demand, protest and notice of any kind, including, without limitation, notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness, liability or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of Company, Investor, any endorser or creditor of Company or Guarantor or on the part of any other person whomsoever under this or any other instrument in connection with any obligation or liability or evidence of indebtedness held by Investor as collateral or in connection with any Obligation hereby guaranteed; (d) any defense based upon an election of remedies by Investor which may destroy or otherwise impair the subrogation rights of Guarantor or the right of Guarantor to proceed against Company for reimbursement, or both; provided, however, the Company makes no waiver as to the defense of payment; (e) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (f) any duty on the part of Investor to disclose to Guarantor any facts Investor may now or hereafter know about Company, regardless of whether Investor has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Guarantor intends to assume or has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Guarantor or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to Guarantor, since Guarantor acknowledges that it is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Company and of all circumstances bearing on the risk of non-payment of any Obligation; (g) any defense arising because of Investor’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code; (h) any defense based on any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code; (i) any claim, right or remedy which Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire against Company that arises hereunder and/or from the performance by Guarantor hereunder, including, without limitation, any claim, right or remedy of Investor against Company or any security which Investor now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise; and (j) any obligation of Investor to pursue any other guarantor or any other person, or to foreclose on any collateral.
5. Bankruptcy. So long as any Obligation shall be owing to Investor, Guarantors shall not, without the prior written consent of Investor, commence, or join with any other person in commencing, any bankruptcy, reorganization, or insolvency proceeding against Company. The obligations of Guarantors under this Guaranty shall not be altered, limited or affected by any proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of Company, or by any defense which Company may have by reason of any order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.
| 4 |
6. Claims in Bankruptcy. Guarantors shall file in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required or permitted by law all claims that Guarantors may have against Company relating to any indebtedness, liability or obligation of Company owed to Guarantors and will assign to Investor all rights of Guarantors thereunder. If any Guarantor does not file any such claim, Investor, as attorney-in-fact for Guarantor, is hereby authorized to do so in the name of Guarantor or, in Investor’s discretion, to assign the claim to a nominee and to cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of Investor’s nominee. The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Investor or Investor’s nominee shall have the sole right to accept or reject any plan proposed in such proceeding and to take any other action that a party filing a claim is entitled to do. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to Investor the amount payable on such claim and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, each Guarantor hereby assigns to Investor all of Guarantor’s rights to any such payments or distributions to which Guarantor would otherwise be entitled; provided, however, that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be deemed satisfied except to the extent that Investor receives cash by reason of any such payment or distribution. If Investor receives anything hereunder other than cash, the same shall be held as collateral for amounts due under this Guaranty. If at any time the holder of the Note is required to refund to Company any payments made by Company in connection with the Note because such payments have been held by a bankruptcy court having jurisdiction over Company to constitute a preference under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law then in effect, or for any other reason, then in addition to such Guarantor’s other obligation under this Guaranty, Guarantor shall reimburse the holder in the aggregate amount of such refund payments.
7. Costs and Attorneys’ Fees. If Company or any Guarantor fails to pay all or any portion of any Obligation, or any Guarantor otherwise breaches any provision hereof or otherwise defaults hereunder, Guarantors shall pay all such expenses and actual attorneys’ fees incurred by Investor in connection with the enforcement of any obligations of Guarantors hereunder, including, without limitation, any attorneys’ fees incurred in any negotiation, alternative dispute resolution proceeding subsequently agreed to by the parties, if any, litigation, or bankruptcy proceeding or any appeals from any of such proceedings.
8. Cumulative Rights. The amount of Guarantors’ liability and all rights, powers and remedies of Investor hereunder and under any other agreement now or at any time hereafter in force between Investor and Guarantors, including, without limitation, any other guaranty executed by Guarantors relating to any indebtedness, liability or obligation of Company owed to Investor, shall be cumulative and not alternative and such rights, powers and remedies shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to Investor by law. This Guaranty is in addition to and exclusive of the guaranty of any other guarantor of any indebtedness, liability or obligation of Company owed to Investor.
9. Independent Obligations. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder are independent of the obligations of Company and, to the extent permitted by law, in the event of any breach or default hereunder, a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantors whether or not Company is joined therein or a separate action or actions are brought against Company, and Investor shall have no obligation to separately pursue an action against Company with respect to the Obligations. Investor may maintain successive actions for other breaches or defaults. Investor’s rights hereunder shall not be exhausted by Investor’s exercise of any of Investor’s rights or remedies or by any such action or by any number of successive actions until and unless all Obligations have been paid and fully performed.
10. Severability. If any part of this Guaranty is construed to be in violation of any law, such part shall be modified to achieve the objective of the parties to the fullest extent permitted and the balance of this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect.
| 5 |
11. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of Investor, Investor’s successors and assigns, including the assignees of any Obligation, and shall bind the heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns of Guarantors. This Guaranty may be assigned by Investor with respect to all or any portion of the Obligations, and when so assigned, Guarantors shall be liable to the assignees under this Guaranty without in any manner affecting the liability of Guarantors hereunder with respect to any Obligations retained by Investor.
12. Notices. Whenever any Guarantor or Investor shall desire to give or serve any notice, demand, request or other communication with respect to this Guaranty, each such notice shall be given in writing (unless otherwise specified herein) and shall be deemed effectively given on the earliest of:
(a) the date delivered, if delivered by personal delivery as against written receipt therefor or by email to an executive officer, or by confirmed facsimile,
(b) the fifth business day after deposit, postage prepaid, in the United States Postal Service by registered or certified mail, or
(c) the third Trading Day after mailing by domestic or international express courier, with delivery costs and fees prepaid,
in each case, addressed to each of the other parties thereunto entitled at the address for such party (or Company, in respect of notices delivered to Guarantor) set forth in the Purchase Agreement (or at such other addresses as such party may designate by ten (10) calendar days’ advance written notice similarly given to each of the other parties hereto).
13. Application of Payments or Recoveries. With or without notice to Guarantors, Investor, in Investor’s sole discretion and at any time and from time to time and in such manner and upon such terms as Investor deems fit, may (a) apply any or all payments or recoveries from Company or from any other guarantor or endorser under any other instrument or realized from any security, in such manner and order of priority as Investor may determine, to any indebtedness, liability or obligation of Company owed to Investor, whether or not such indebtedness, liability or obligation is guaranteed hereby or is otherwise secured or is due at the time of such application; and (b) refund to Company any payment received by Investor in connection with any Obligation and payment of the amount refunded shall be fully guaranteed hereby.
14. Setoff. Investor shall have a right of setoff against all monies, securities and other property of Guarantors now or hereafter in the possession of, or on deposit with, Investor (if any), whether held in a general or special account or deposit, or for safekeeping or otherwise. Such right is in addition to any right of setoff Investor may have by law. All rights of setoff may be exercised without notice or demand to Guarantors. No right of setoff shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or conduct on the part of Investor, or by any neglect to exercise such right of setoff, or by any delay in doing so. Every right of setoff shall continue in full force and effect until specifically waived or released by an instrument in writing executed by Investor.
| 6 |
15. Covenants. Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that it will not take any of the following actions without Investor’s written consent, which consent be granted or withheld in Investor’s sole discretion: (a) except for Permitted Liens (as defined in the Security Agreement), Guarantor will not grant any security interest, lien, pledge or other encumbrance with respect to any of its assets; (b) Guarantor will not sell, transfer, or issue any of its equity interests or voting interests, other than in connection with a Permitted Transaction (as defined in the Note); (c) Guarantor will not terminate, sell, amend, transfer or assign, or enter into any contract to terminate, sell, amend, transfer or assign, any contract, contractual right, revenue stream or other material asset, other than in connection with a Permitted Transaction (as defined in the Note); (d) Guarantor will not incur any debt, other than Permitted Debt (as defined in the Purchase Agreement); and (e) Guarantor will not certificate any of its equity interests.
16. Miscellaneous.

Exhibit 4.23
Certain personal information has been omitted from this exhibit and is marked [***].
DEED OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
| Parties | Relms Consolidated Pty Ltd (ACN 622 735 166) as Trustee for the Sutton Family Trust (Relms)
and
Vega Global Technologies Limited (ACN 667 154 261) (Vega) (together, the Parties and each a Party) | |||
| Background | A. The parties entered into a share sale agreement under which Vega agreed to acquire, and acquired, 100% of the issued share capital of Mirragin RAS Consulting Pty Ltd (ACN 149 778 165) (Mirragin).
B. The agreed cash consideration of A$550,000 is to be satisfied by Vega assuming certain financial indebtedness of Mirragin, up to a maximum aggregate of A$550,000.
C. The parties wish to record, with precision, the basis upon which that consideration has been satisfied, and to identify with certainty the limits of Vega’s obligations. | |||
1. Acknowledgement of Consideration |
The parties acknowledge and agree that the cash consideration of A$550,000 payable by Vega to Relms under the Agreement has been fully satisfied by Vega assuming responsibility for certain third-party financial indebtedness of Mirragin as at the Settlement Date (Outstanding Debt), up to a maximum aggregate amount of A$550,000.
The assumption of the Outstanding Debt constitutes full and final satisfaction of the cash consideration. No further consideration is payable by Vega to Relms under the Agreement or otherwise.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Outstanding Debt is limited to the amounts expressly identified in clause 2.1. Nothing in this Deed, including the Schedule, extends Vega’s obligations beyond what is stated in clause 2.1. Where there is any inconsistency between clause 2.1 and the Schedule, clause 2.1 prevails. | |||
2. Definition of Outstanding Debt |
The Outstanding Debt comprises only the following third-party financial indebtedness of Mirragin, as at 13 February 2026 (Settlement Date), up to a maximum aggregate of A$550,000: | |||
| (a) | QRIDA Government Loan — A$52,917.37; | |||
| (b) | NAB Business Markets Loan — Mirragin — A$420,864.19; and | |||
| (c) | American Express facility — A$59,466.28, | |||
| being an aggregate of A$533,247.84. The balance of the A$550,000 cap (being A$16,752.16) will be applied as a reduction of amounts owing by Rob Sutton to Mirragin under his loan account, capped at that amount, and is not assumed by Vega nor owed to Relms. | ||||
| 2.2 For the avoidance of doubt, the Outstanding Debt; | ||||
| (a) | is determined solely by reference to third-party balances outstanding at the Settlement Date; | |||
| (b) | is capped at A$550,000 in aggregate; | |||
| (c) | does not include any intercompany loans, whether owed by Mirragin to Relms, by Mirragin to Defining Films Pty Ltd, or any other related-party balance; and | |||
| (d) | does not vary as a result of any movement, increase, payment, or other change after the Settlement Date. | |||
3. Express Exclusions |
3.1 The following are expressly excluded from the Outstanding Debt and remain the sole responsibility of Relms and/or Rob Sutton: | |||
| (a) | the NAB Business Markets Loan relating to Defining Films Pty Ltd (approximately A$600,000), including all interest, fees, and the balloon principal repayment due approximately March 2028; | |||
| (b) | all other financial indebtedness, liabilities, and obligations of Defining Films Pty Ltd of any kind; | |||
| (c) | any intercompany loan or balance owed by Mirragin to Relms Business Services Pty Ltd or any related entity of Rob Sutton; | |||
| (d) | any intercompany loan or balance owed by Mirragin to Defining Films Pty Ltd, or by Defining Films Pty Ltd to Mirragin; | |||
| (e) | any financial indebtedness or liability not expressly identified in clause 2.1; and | |||

Company and Investor are executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance upon exemptions from the disclosure and registration requirements under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and any applicable securities laws, including exemptions applicable to offers made to sophisticated investors, professional investors, or otherwise exempt persons. The parties acknowledge that the securities the subject of this Agreement are being issued in reliance on those exemptions and in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations administered by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).
B. Investor desires to purchase and Company desires to issue and sell, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement: a Secured Promissory Note, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, in the original principal amount of USD$12,000,000.00 (the “Note”).

This Agreement, the Note, the Security Agreement (as defined below), the Pledge Agreement (as defined below), the Guaranty (as defined below), all security documents to be executed in respect of the Indian Subsidiaries (including VIS Networks Pvt. Ltd) as contemplated by Section 1.5, and all other certificates, documents, agreements, resolutions and instruments delivered to any party under or in connection with this Agreement, as the same may be amended from time to time (including any amendments executed pursuant to the Company’s obligation to perfect the Investor’s security interests), are collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents”.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Company and Investor hereby agree as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale of Note.
1.1. Purchase of Note. Company shall issue and sell to Investor and Investor shall purchase from Company the Note. In consideration thereof, Investor shall pay the Purchase Price (as defined below) to Company.
1.2. Form of Payment. On the Closing Date (as defined below), Investor shall pay the Purchase Price to Company via wire transfer of immediately available funds against delivery of the Note.
1.3. This Agreement shall be executed and become effective as of the date it is signed by the parties (the “Effective Date”). Subject to the satisfaction (or written waiver) of the conditions set forth in Sections 5 and 6 below, the issuance and sale of the Note pursuant to this Agreement shall occur on the first date (the “Initial Listing Date”) that Company’s ordinary shares, no par value per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), trade on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”, andsuch date, the “Closing Date”). In the event the Initial Listing Date has not occurred on or before February 13, 2026, Investor may terminate this Agreement, and all obligations of Investor hereunder shall thereupon be void and of no further force or effect. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall occur on the Closing Date by means of the exchange of electronic signatures and/or electronic delivery of documents and shall be deemed for all purposes to have occurred at the registered offices of the Company.

8.4. Outbound Investment Status. Company represents and warrants to Investor, as of the Closing Date, that: Company is not a “covered foreign person” under 31 C.F.R. § 850.209. Furthermore, Company does not currently engage, and has no intention to engage, in any “covered activity” or “covered transaction” (as defined in 31 C.F.R. §§ 850.208 and 850.210) that would result in a “notifiable transaction” or a “prohibited transaction” (as defined in 31 C.F.R. § 850.217 and 850.224), or that would otherwise violate, or cause Investor to violate, any “Outbound Investment Law.” For purposes of this Agreement, “Outbound Investment Law” refers to any legal requirement related to the “Outbound Investment Regulations” (31 C.F.R. §§ 850.101–850.904) and Executive Order 14105.
9. Miscellaneous. The provisions set forth in this Section 9 shall apply to this Agreement, as well as all other Transaction Documents as if these terms were fully set forth therein; provided, however, that in the event there is a conflict between any provision set forth in this Section 9 and any provision in any other Transaction Document, the provision in such other Transaction Document shall govern.
9.1. Arbitration of Claims. The parties shall submit all Claims (as defined in Exhibit G) arising under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other agreement between the parties and their affiliates or any Claim relating to the relationship of the parties to binding arbitration pursuant to the arbitration provisions set forth in Exhibit G attached hereto (the “Arbitration Provisions”). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the injunctive relief described in Section 9.3 below may be pursued in an arbitration that is separate and apart from any other arbitration regarding all other Claims arising under the Transaction Documents or, at Investor’s election in its sole discretion, may be pursued in any court of competent jurisdiction notwithstanding the Arbitration Provisions. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Arbitration Provisions are unconditionally binding on the parties hereto and are severable from all other provisions of this Agreement. By executing this Agreement, Company represents, warrants and covenants that Company has reviewed the Arbitration Provisions carefully, consulted with legal counsel about such provisions (or waived its right to do so), understands that the Arbitration Provisions are intended to allow for the expeditious and efficient resolution of any dispute hereunder, agrees to the terms and limitations set forth in the Arbitration Provisions, and that Company will not take a position contrary to the foregoing representations. Company acknowledges and agrees that Investor may rely upon the foregoing representations and covenants of Company regarding the Arbitration Provisions.

9.2. Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws in force in the State of Victoria, Australia, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with those laws, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Each party consents to and expressly agrees that the seat and venue of any arbitration arising out of or relating to any Transaction Document, or the relationship of the parties or their affiliates, shall be Victoria, Australia, and that the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Arbitration Provisions. Without limiting the parties’ obligations to resolve disputes pursuant to the Arbitration Provisions, and solely for the purposes of any court proceedings permitted under this Agreement (including applications to compel arbitration, obtain interim relief, or recognise, enforce or set aside an arbitral award), each party: (i) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Victoria, Australia, including the Supreme Court of Victoria; (ii) agrees that any such proceedings must be brought in a court sitting in Victoria, Australia; (iii) agrees not to commence any such proceedings in any jurisdiction outside Victoria, Australia; and (iv) waives any objection on the grounds of improper venue, forum non conveniens, or any similar basis to the bringing of any such proceeding in Victoria, Australia. The Company acknowledges that the governing law and jurisdiction provisions set out in this section are material terms that have induced Investor to enter into the Transaction Documents and that, but for Company’s agreement to these provisions, Investor would not have entered into the Transaction Documents.
9.3. Specific Performance. Company acknowledges and agrees that Investor may suffer irreparable harm if Company fails to perform any material provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents in accordance with its specific terms. It is accordingly agreed that Investor shall be entitled to one or more injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement or such other Transaction Document and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which Investor may be entitled under the Transaction Documents, at law or in equity. Company specifically agrees that: (i) following an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) under the Note, Investor shall have the right to seek and receive injunctive relief from a court or an arbitrator prohibiting Company from issuing any of its Ordinary Shares or preferred stock to any party unless fifty percent (50%) of the gross proceeds received by Company in connection with such issuance are simultaneously used by Company to make a payment under the Note; (ii) following a breach of Section 4(iv) above, Investor shall have the right to seek and receive injunctive relief from a court or arbitrator invalidating such lock-up; (iii) if Company or any of its subsidiaries enters into a definitive agreement that contemplates a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Note), unless such agreement contains a closing condition that the Note are repaid in full upon consummation of the transaction or Investor has provided its written consent in a signed writing to such Fundamental Transaction, Investor shall have the right to seek and receive injunctive relief from a court or arbitrator preventing the consummation of such transaction; and (iv) if Company fails to deliver, perfect, or maintain security over related entities as required under Section 9.11, or fails to amend any Transaction Document as required to perfect such security, Investor shall have the right to seek and receive injunctive relief from a court or arbitrator compelling Company to execute, deliver, and perfect such security documents and amendments, and to take all necessary actions to grant the Investor valid, enforceable, and first-ranking security interests. Company specifically acknowledges that Investor’s right to obtain specific performance constitutes bargained for leverage and that the loss of such leverage would result in irreparable harm to Investor. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event Investor seeks to obtain an injunction from a court or an arbitrator against Company or specific performance of any provision of any Transaction Document, such action shall not be a waiver of any right of Investor under any Transaction Document, at law, or in equity, including without limitation its rights to arbitrate any Claim pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents, nor shall Investor’s pursuit of an injunction prevent Investor, under the doctrines of claim preclusion, issues preclusion, res judicata or other similar legal doctrines, from pursuing other Claims in the future in a separate arbitration

This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Ltd (India) and any other subsidiaries, affiliates or related bodies corporate of the Company (whether incorporated in India, Australia or elsewhere). For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s obligation to deliver security extends to any related entities acquired, established, or otherwise coming under the control of the Company after the Closing Date, and the Company shall deliver such security within thirty (30) calendar days of such acquisition, establishment, or assumption of control.
(a) share pledges or charges over all issued and outstanding shares in such related entities;
(b) general security agreements, debentures, or charges over all present and after-acquired assets of such related entities;
(c) specific charges over intellectual property, real property, and material contracts of such related entities; and

All such security documents shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Investor and its legal advisors, shall be executed by the Company and each related entity (and their respective directors and officers as applicable), and shall be registered, filed, or perfected in all applicable jurisdictions as required by applicable law. The Company shall bear all costs and expenses associated with the preparation, execution, stamping, registration, perfection, maintenance, enforcement, and release (if applicable) of such security documents, including without limitation all legal fees and disbursements of the Investor’s legal advisors, filing and registration fees, stamp duties, notarization costs, translation costs (where documents must be prepared in languages other than English), and any other costs incurred in connection with creating, perfecting, maintaining, or enforcing the Investor’s security interests in any jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly amend, supplement, or execute any Transaction Document or related security document as may be reasonably required by the Investor or its legal advisors to create, perfect, maintain, or enforce the Investor’s security interests in the shares and assets of the Company and its related entities, including without limitation any amendments necessary to comply with applicable law in any relevant jurisdiction or to address any defects, ambiguities, or deficiencies identified by the Investor. The Company acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the failure to deliver such security documents within the specified timeframe; (ii) the failure to procure execution of such security documents by any related entity, director, officer, or shareholder as required; (iii) the failure to register, file, or perfect such security in any applicable jurisdiction; (iv) the failure to maintain such security in full force and effect; or (v) the failure to execute any amendments to Transaction Documents as required to perfect security, shall in each case constitute an Event of Default under the Note and other Transaction Documents, entitling the Investor to exercise all rights and remedies available under the Transaction Documents, at law, or in equity.
9.12. Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

9.13. Investor’s Rights and Remedies Cumulative. All rights, remedies, and powers conferred in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies, and shall be in addition to every other right, power, and remedy that Investor may have, whether specifically granted in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or existing at law, in equity, or by statute, and any and all such rights and remedies may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as Investor may deem expedient.
9.14. Attorneys’ Fees and Cost of Collection. In the event any suit, action or arbitration is filed by either party against the other to interpret or enforce any of the Transaction Documents, the unsuccessful party to such action agrees to pay to the prevailing party all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred therein, including the same with respect to an appeal. The “prevailing party” shall be the party in whose favor a judgment is entered, regardless of whether judgment is entered on all claims asserted by such party and regardless of the amount of the judgment; or where, due to the assertion of counterclaims, judgments are entered in favor of and against both parties, then the judge or arbitrator shall determine the “prevailing party” by taking into account the relative dollar amounts of the judgments or, if the judgments involve nonmonetary relief, the relative importance and value of such relief. Nothing herein shall restrict or impair an arbitrator’s or a court’s power to award fees and expenses for frivolous or bad faith pleading. If (i) the Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement prior to commencing arbitration or legal proceedings, or is collected or enforced through any arbitration or legal proceeding, or Investor otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under the Note or to enforce the provisions of the Note, or (ii) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of Company or other proceedings affecting Company’s creditors’ rights and involving a claim under the Note; then Company shall pay the costs incurred by Investor for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses, deposition costs, and disbursements.
| 10 |
9.15. Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in the form of a writing signed by the party granting the waiver. No waiver of any provision or consent to any prohibited action shall constitute a waiver of any other provision or consent to any other prohibited action, whether or not similar.

Exhibit 11.2
SCHEDULE 9 – TRADING POLICY
1. INTRODUCTION
These guidelines set out the policy on the sale and purchase of securities in the Company by its Key Management Personnel (as defined in the ASX Listing Rules). Key Management Personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including any Director (whether executive or otherwise) of that entity. The Company has determined that its Key Management Personnel are its Directors, executives and those employees directly reporting to the Managing Director.
Key Management Personnel are encouraged to be long-term holders of the Company’s securities. However, it is important that care is taken in the timing of any purchase or sale of such securities.
The purpose of these guidelines is to assist Key Management Personnel to avoid conduct known as ‘insider trading’. In some respects, the Company’s policy extends beyond the strict requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).
2. WHAT TYPES OF TRANSACTIONS ARE COVERED BY THIS POLICY?
This policy applies to both the sale and purchase of any securities of the Company and its subsidiaries on issue from time to time.
3. WHAT IS INSIDER TRADING?
3.1 Prohibition
Insider trading is a criminal offence. It may also result in civil liability. In broad terms, a person will be guilty of insider trading if:
(a) that person possesses information, which is not generally available to the market and if it were generally available to the market, would be likely to have a material effect on the price or value of the Company’s securities (ie information that is ‘price sensitive’); and
(b) that person:
(i) buys or sells securities in the Company; or
(ii) procures someone else to buy or sell securities in the Company; or
(iii) passes on that information to a third party where that person knows, or ought reasonably to know, that the third party would be likely to buy or sell the securities or procure someone else to buy or sell the securities of the Company.
| CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PLAN / BRAIIN LIMITED | 1 |
3.2 Examples
To illustrate the prohibition described above, the following are possible examples of price sensitive information which, if made available to the market, may be likely to materially affect the price of the Company’s securities:
(a) the Company considering a major acquisition;
(b) the threat of major litigation against the Company;
(c) the Company’s revenue and profit or loss results materially exceeding (or falling short of) the market’s expectations;
(d) a material change in debt, liquidity or cash flow;
(e) a significant new development proposal (e.g. new product or technology);
(f) the grant or loss of a major contract;
(g) a management or business restructuring proposal;
(h) a share issue proposal;
(i) an agreement or option to acquire an interest in a mining tenement, or to enter into a joint venture or farm-in or farm-out arrangement in relation to a mining tenement; and
(j) significant discoveries, exploration results, or changes in reserve/resource estimates from mining tenements in which the Company has an interest.
3.3 Dealing through third parties
The insider trading prohibition extends to dealings by individuals through nominees, agents or other associates, such as family members, family trusts and family companies (referred to as “Associates” in these guidelines).
3.4 Information however obtained
It does not matter how or where the person obtains the information – it does not have to be obtained from the Company to constitute inside information.
3.5 Employee share schemes
The prohibition does not apply to acquisitions of shares or options by employees made under employee share or option schemes, nor does it apply to the acquisition of shares as a result of the exercise of options under an employee option scheme. However, the prohibition does apply to the sale of shares acquired under an employee share scheme and also to the sale of shares acquired following the exercise of an option granted under an employee option scheme.
| CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PLAN / BRAIIN LIMITED | 2 |
4. GUIDELINES FOR TRADING IN THE COMPANY’S SECURITIES
4.1 General rule
Key Management Personnel must not, except in exceptional circumstances, deal in securities of the Company during the following periods:
(a) two weeks prior to, and 48 hours after the release of the Company’s Annual Report;
(b) two weeks prior to, and 48 hours after the release of the Half Year Report of the Company; and
(c) two weeks prior to, and 48 hours after the release of the Company’s quarterly reports (if applicable),
(together the Closed Periods).
The Company may at its discretion vary this rule in relation to a particular Closed Period by general announcement to all Key Management Personnel either before or during the Closed Periods. However, if a Key Management Personnel is in possession of price sensitive information which is not generally available to the market, then he or she must not deal in the Company’s securities at any time it is in possession of such information.
4.2 No short-term trading in the Company’s securities
Key Management Personnel should never engage in short-term trading of the Company’s securities except for the exercise of options where the shares will be sold shortly thereafter.
4.3 Securities in other companies
Buying and selling securities of other companies with which the Company may be dealing is prohibited where an individual possesses information which is not generally available to the market and is ‘price sensitive’. For example, where an individual is aware that the Company is about to sign a major agreement with another company, they should not buy securities in either the Company or the other company.
4.4 Exceptions
(a) Key Management Personnel may at any time:
(i) acquire ordinary shares in the Company by conversion of securities giving a right of conversion to ordinary shares;
(ii) acquire Company securities under a bonus issue made to all holders of securities of the same class;
(iii) acquire Company securities under a dividend reinvestment, or top-up plan that is available to all holders or securities of the same class;
(iv) acquire, or agree to acquire or exercise options under an employee incentive scheme (as that term is defined in the ASX Listing Rules);
| CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PLAN / BRAIIN LIMITED | 3 |
(v) withdraw ordinary shares in the Company held on behalf of the Key Management Personnel in an employee incentive scheme (as that term is defined in the ASX Listing Rules) where the withdrawal is permitted by the rules of that scheme;
(vi) acquire ordinary shares in the Company as a result of the exercise of options held under an employee option scheme;
(vii) transfer securities of the Company already held into a superannuation fund or other saving scheme in which the restricted person is a beneficiary;
(viii) make an investment in, or trade in units of, a fund or other scheme (other than a scheme only investing in the securities of the Company) where the assets of the fund or other scheme are invested at the discretion of a third party;
(ix) where a restricted person is a trustee, trade in the securities of the Company by that trust, provided the restricted person is not a beneficiary of the trust and any decision to trade during a prohibited period is taken by the other trustees or by the investment managers independently of the restricted person;
(x) undertake to accept, or accept, a takeover offer;
(xi) trade under an offer or invitation made to all or most of the security holders, such as a rights issue, a security purchase plan, a dividend or distribution reinvestment plan and an equal access buy-back, where the plan that determines the timing and structure of the offer has been approved by the Board. This includes decisions relating to whether or not to take up the entitlements and the sale of entitlements required to provide for the take up of the balance of entitlements under a renounceable pro rata issue;
(xii) dispose of securities of the Company resulting from a secured lender exercising their rights, for example, under a margin lending arrangement;
(xiii) exercise (but not sell securities following exercise) an option or a right under an employee incentive scheme, or convert a convertible security, where the final date for the exercise of the option or right, or the conversion of the security, falls during a prohibited period or the Company has had a number of consecutive prohibited periods and the restricted person could not reasonably have been expected to exercise it at a time when free to do so; or
(xiv) trade under a non-discretionary trading plan for which prior written clearance has been provided in accordance with procedures set out in this Policy.
(b) In respect of any share or option plans adopted by the Company, it should be noted that it is not permissible to provide the exercise price of options by selling the shares acquired on the exercise of these options unless the sale of those shares occurs outside the periods specified in paragraph 4.1.
| CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PLAN / BRAIIN LIMITED | 4 |
Were this is to occur at a time when the person possessed inside information, then the sale of Company securities would be a breach of insider trading laws, even though the person’s decision to sell was not influenced by the inside information that the person possessed and the person may not have made a profit on the sale. Where Company securities are provided to a lender as security by way of mortgage or charge, a sale that occurs under that mortgage or charge as a consequence of default would not breach insider trading laws.
4.5 Notification of periods when Key Management Personnel are not permitted to trade
The Company Secretary will endeavour to notify all Key Management Personnel of the times when they are not permitted to buy or sell the Company’s securities as set out in paragraph 4.1.
5. APPROVAL AND NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
5.1 Approval requirements
(a) Any Key Management Personnel (other than the Chairman of the Board) wishing to buy, sell or exercise rights in relation to the Company’s securities must obtain the prior written approval of the Chairman of the Board or the Board before doing so.
(b) If the Chairman of the Board wishes to buy, sell or exercise rights in relation to the Company’s securities, the Chairman of the Board must obtain the prior approval of the Board before doing so.
5.2 Approvals to buy or sell securities
(a) All requests to buy or sell securities as referred to in paragraph 5.1 must include the intended volume of securities to be purchased or sold and an estimated time frame for the sale or purchase.
(b) Copies of written approvals must be forwarded to the Company Secretary prior to the approved purchase or sale transaction.
5.3 Notification
Subsequent to approval obtained in accordance with paragraphs 5.1 and 5.2, any Key Management Personnel who (or through his or her Associates) buys, sells, or exercises rights in relation to Company securities must notify the Company Secretary in writing of the details of the transaction within two (2) business days of the transaction occurring. This notification obligation operates at all times and includes applications for acquisitions of shares or options by employees made under employee share or option schemes and also applies to the acquisition of shares as a result of the exercise of options under an employee option scheme.
5.4 Key Management Personnel sales of securities
Key Management Personnel need to be mindful of the market perception associated with any sale of Company securities and possibly the ability of the market to absorb the volume of shares being sold. With this in mind, the management of the sale of any significant volume of Company securities (ie a volume that would represent a volume in excess of 10% of the total securities held by the seller prior to the sale, or a volume to be sold that would be in excess of 10% of the average daily traded volume of the shares of the Company on the ASX for the preceding 20 trading days) by a Key Management Personnel needs to be discussed with the Board and the Company’s legal advisers prior to the execution of any sale. These discussions need to be documented in the form of a file note, to be retained by the Company Secretary.
| CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PLAN / BRAIIN LIMITED | 5 |
5.5 Exemption from Closed Periods restrictions due to exceptional circumstance
Key Management Personnel who are not in possession of inside information in relation to the Company, may be given prior written clearance by the Managing Director (or in the case of the Managing Director, by all other members of the Board) to sell or otherwise dispose of Company securities in a Closed Period where the person is in severe financial hardship or where there are exceptional circumstances as set out in this policy.
5.6 Severe financial hardship or exceptional circumstances
The determination of whether a Key Management Personnel is in severe financial hardship will be made by the Managing Director (or in the case of the Managing Director, by all other members of the Board).
A financial hardship or exceptional circumstances determination can only be made by examining all of the facts and if necessary obtaining independent verification of the facts from banks, accountants or other like institutions.
5.7 Financial hardship
Key Management Personnel may be in severe financial hardship if they have a pressing financial commitment that cannot be satisfied other than by selling the securities of the Company.
In the interests of an expedient and informed determination by the Managing Director (or all other members of the Board as the context requires), any application for an exemption allowing the sale of Company securities in a Closed Period based on financial hardship must be made in writing stating all of the facts and be accompanied by copies of relevant supporting documentation, including contact details of the person’s accountant, bank and other such independent institutions (where applicable).
Any exemption, if issued, will be in writing and shall contain a specified time period during which the sale of securities can be made.
5.8 Exceptional circumstances
Exceptional circumstances may apply to the disposal of Company securities by a Key Management Personnel if the person is required by a court order or a court enforceable undertaking (for example in a bona fide family settlement), to transfer or sell securities of the Company, or there is some other overriding legal or regulatory requirement to do so.
Any application for an exemption allowing the sale of Company securities in a Closed Period based on exceptional circumstances must be made in writing and be accompanied by relevant court and/or supporting legal documentation (where applicable).
Any exemption, if issued, will be in writing and shall contain a specified time period during which the sale of securities can be made.
6. ASX NOTIFICATION FOR DIRECTORS
The ASX Listing Rules require the Company to notify the ASX within 5 business days after any dealing in securities of the Company (either personally or through an Associate) which results in a change in the relevant interests of a Director in the securities of the Company. The Company has made arrangements with each Director to ensure that the Director promptly discloses to the Company Secretary all the information required by the ASX.
7. EFFECT OF COMPLIANCE WITH THIS POLICY
Compliance with these guidelines for trading in the Company’s securities does not absolve that individual from complying with the law, which must be the overriding consideration when trading in the Company’s securities.

Exhibit 97.1
BRAIIN LIMITED
ACN 660 713 093
COMPENSATION RECOVERY POLICY
| 1. | Purpose |
| 1.1 | Braiin Limited (the Company) has adopted this Compensation Recovery Policy (this Policy) to provide for the recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation from Executive Officers in the event of an Accounting Restatement, in accordance with Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), Rule 10D-1 under the Exchange Act (Rule 10D-1) and Rule 5608 of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC Listing Rules (Rule 5608). |
| 1.2 | This Policy is to be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with Rule 10D-1 and Rule 5608, and any guidance or interpretation issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) or The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq) in respect of them. |
| 2. | Administration |
| 2.1 | This Policy is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the Committee), or, if there is no such committee, by the independent directors of the Board who serve on the Board’s compensation committee or who otherwise comprise a majority of the independent directors of the Board (in either case, the Administrator). |
| 2.2 | The Administrator has full authority to interpret and apply this Policy and to make all determinations required under it. Any determination of the Administrator is final and binding on all persons, and need not be uniform as between Executive Officers. The Administrator may engage legal counsel, accountants and other advisers as it considers appropriate. |
| 3. | Definitions |
| 3.1 | In this Policy: |
Accounting Restatement means an accounting restatement of the Company’s financial statements due to the Company’s material non-compliance with any financial reporting requirement under the U.S. federal securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period.
Board means the board of directors of the Company.
Erroneously Awarded Compensation means, in respect of an Executive Officer and an Accounting Restatement, the amount of Incentive-Based Compensation Received by the Executive Officer that exceeds the amount of Incentive-Based Compensation that would otherwise have been Received had it been determined based on the restated amounts, computed without regard to any taxes paid, as determined under clause 5.
Braiin Limited – Compensation Recovery Policy 1
Executive Officer means each individual who is or was an “executive officer” of the Company within the meaning of Rule 10D-1(d), being the Company’s president, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer (or, if there is no such accounting officer, the controller), any vice-president in charge of a principal business unit, division or function (such as sales, administration or finance), any other officer who performs a policy-making function, and any other person who performs similar policy-making functions for the Company. Executive officers of the Company’s subsidiaries are Executive Officers if they perform such policy-making functions for the Company. Executive Officers include, at a minimum, the persons identified as executive officers in the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 20-F.
Financial Reporting Measure means any measure that is determined and presented in accordance with the accounting principles used in preparing the Company’s financial statements, and any measure derived wholly or in part from such a measure, whether or not it is presented in the Company’s financial statements or included in a filing with the SEC. The Company’s share price and total shareholder return are Financial Reporting Measures.
Incentive-Based Compensation means any compensation that is granted, earned or vested based wholly or in part on the attainment of a Financial Reporting Measure.
Received in respect of Incentive-Based Compensation, means received in the fiscal year during which the Financial Reporting Measure specified in the Incentive-Based Compensation award is attained, even if the payment or grant of the Incentive-Based Compensation occurs after the end of that fiscal year.
Recovery Period means, in respect of an Accounting Restatement, the three completed fiscal years of the Company immediately preceding the Restatement Date, together with any transition period (resulting from a change in the Company’s fiscal year) within or immediately following those three completed fiscal years, provided that a transition period of nine to twelve months is treated as a completed fiscal year.
Restatement Date means the earlier of (a) the date on which the Board, a committee of the Board or the officers of the Company authorised to take such action (if Board action is not required) conclude, or reasonably should have concluded, that the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement; and (b) the date on which a court, regulator or other legally authorised body directs the Company to prepare an Accounting Restatement.
| 4. | Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation |
| 4.1 | If the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement, the Company will recover, reasonably promptly, the Erroneously Awarded Compensation Received by each person during the Recovery Period who: |
| (a) | began service as an Executive Officer after the beginning of the performance period for that Incentive-Based Compensation; | |
| (b) | served as an Executive Officer at any time during the performance period for that Incentive-Based Compensation; and | |
| (c) | Received that Incentive-Based Compensation while the Company had a class of securities listed on a national securities exchange or a national securities association, and on or after 2 October 2023. |
| 4.2 | Recovery under this Policy is required on a “no fault” basis, regardless of whether the Executive Officer engaged in any misconduct or was responsible, in whole or in part, for the Accounting Restatement. |
| 4.3 | The Company’s obligation to recover Erroneously Awarded Compensation does not depend on whether, or when, the restated financial statements are filed with the SEC. |
Braiin Limited – Compensation Recovery Policy 2
| 5. | Calculation of Erroneously Awarded Compensation |
| 5.1 | The Administrator will determine the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation for each Executive Officer, and will notify each Executive Officer in writing of that amount and of the manner in which it is to be repaid or forfeited. |
| 5.2 | For Incentive-Based Compensation based on the Company’s share price or total shareholder return, where the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation is not subject to mathematical recalculation directly from the information in the Accounting Restatement, the amount will be based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the Accounting Restatement on the share price or total shareholder return upon which the Incentive-Based Compensation was Received. The Company will maintain documentation of the determination of that reasonable estimate and provide it to Nasdaq. |
| 5.3 | Erroneously Awarded Compensation is calculated on a pre-tax basis, without regard to any taxes paid or payable by the Executive Officer. |
| 6. | Method of recovery |
| 6.1 | The Administrator will determine, in its discretion, the appropriate means of recovering Erroneously Awarded Compensation, which may include, to the extent permitted by applicable law: |
| (a) | requiring repayment in cash of Incentive-Based Compensation previously paid; | |
| (b) | seeking recovery of any gain realised on the vesting, exercise, settlement, sale, transfer or other disposition of any equity-based award; | |
| (c) | cancelling, forfeiting or reducing any outstanding vested or unvested award, or any future compensation, payable to the Executive Officer; | |
| (d) | setting off the amount to be recovered against any amount otherwise owed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to the Executive Officer; and | |
| (e) | any other method of recovery permitted by Rule 10D-1 and Rule 5608. |
| 6.2 | The Company will not accept an amount less than the full amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation in satisfaction of the Executive Officer’s obligations under this Policy, except as provided in clause 7. |
| 6.3 | To the extent an Executive Officer has already reimbursed the Company for any Erroneously Awarded Compensation under any duplicative recovery obligation established by the Company or applicable law, that amount will be credited against the amount to be recovered under this Policy. |
| 7. | Impracticability |
| 7.1 | The Company must recover Erroneously Awarded Compensation in accordance with this Policy unless the Committee (or, in the absence of a committee, a majority of the independent directors serving on the Board) determines that recovery would be impracticable and one of the following conditions is satisfied: |
| (a) | the direct expense paid to a third party to assist in enforcing this Policy would exceed the amount to be recovered, provided that, before making that determination, the Company has made a reasonable attempt to recover the Erroneously Awarded Compensation, documented that attempt and provided that documentation to Nasdaq; | |
| (b) | recovery would violate the law of Australia, being the Company’s home country, where that law was adopted before 28 November 2022, provided that, before making that determination, the Company has obtained an opinion of Australian legal counsel, acceptable to Nasdaq, that recovery would result in such a violation, and has provided that opinion to Nasdaq; or | |
| (c) | recovery would likely cause an otherwise tax-qualified retirement plan, under which benefits are broadly available to employees of the Company, to fail to meet the requirements of 26 U.S.C. 401(a)(13) or 26 U.S.C. 411(a) and the regulations under them. |
Braiin Limited – Compensation Recovery Policy 3
| 8. | No indemnification or insurance |
| 8.1 | The Company will not indemnify any Executive Officer or former Executive Officer against the loss of Erroneously Awarded Compensation, and will not pay or reimburse any Executive Officer for the premium of any insurance policy covering the loss of Erroneously Awarded Compensation. This clause applies despite any indemnity, insurance or access deed, constitution provision or other arrangement between the Company and an Executive Officer. |
| 9. | Disclosure |
| 9.1 | The Company will file this Policy, and make all disclosures relating to it, as required by the U.S. federal securities laws, including as an exhibit to its annual report on Form 20-F and the disclosure required by Item 6.F of Form 20-F. |
| 10. | Relationship with other arrangements |
| 10.1 | This Policy is in addition to, and does not limit, any other right or remedy available to the Company, including any right of recovery or set-off under any employment agreement, offer letter, equity incentive plan, award agreement or other arrangement, or under applicable law. |
| 10.2 | Each employment agreement, offer letter, equity incentive plan, award agreement and other compensation arrangement entered into or adopted by the Company on or after the date of this Policy is deemed to include the Executive Officer’s agreement to comply with this Policy. |
| 10.3 | The Company will apply this Policy to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). |
| 11. | Acknowledgement |
| 11.1 | Each Executive Officer must sign and return to the Company the acknowledgement in the Schedule, within 30 days of the later of the date on which this Policy is adopted and the date on which the person becomes an Executive Officer. A failure to sign the acknowledgement does not affect the application of this Policy to that person. |
| 12. | Effective date, amendment and termination |
| 12.1 | This Policy is effective from 12 February 2026, the date on which the Company’s ordinary shares were first listed on The Nasdaq Global Market, and applies to Incentive-Based Compensation Received by Executive Officers on or after that date, subject to clause 4.1(c). |
| 12.2 | The Board may amend this Policy from time to time, and must amend it as necessary to comply with Rule 10D-1, Rule 5608 and any other applicable law or listing standard. The Board may terminate this Policy only if the Company is no longer required to maintain it under Rule 5608. |
| 13. | Governing law |
| 13.1 | This Policy is governed by the laws of Western Australia, provided that it is to be interpreted and applied in accordance with Rule 10D-1 and Rule 5608. |
