SettlementAgreement and Mutual Release
In January 2026, Mr. Lazar, the former Chief Executive Officer of Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“TTNP”), the predecessor company to Black Titan Corporation (“Black Titan”), asserted a claim against the Company alleging an entitlement to a special bonus arising in connection with the merger that closed on October 1, 2025. The Company disputed both the validity and the amount of Mr. Lazar’s claim and the amount involved, and the parties remained in active dispute through the first quarter of 2026.
Following negotiations, Black Titan executed a Settlement and Release Agreement with Mr. Lazar, pursuant to which they agreed to fully and finally resolve the disputed claim through a one-time payment of US$800,000 (the “Settlement Amount”). The Settlement Amount was determined in April 2026 and paid in full on April 15, 2026, and Mr. Lazar acknowledged that the Group owes no further amounts.
Each of Black Titan and Mr. Lazar also agreed to a mutual release of any claims they may have against each other.
RelatedParty Transaction.
ARC Group International Limited (“ARC”), a significant shareholder of Black Titan, provided the funds for payment of the Settlement Amount.
In satisfaction of the payment of the Settlement Amount by ARC directly to Mr. Lazar, Black Titan has issued 800 preferred shares of $0.001 par value each in Black Titan, which are designated as series B preferred shares (the “Series B Shares”) to ARC, pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, May 8, 2026. The Series B Shares are convertible, at any time, and from time to time, into ordinary shares of Black Titan at a conversion price of 80% of the 5-day VWAP immediately preceding the applicable conversion date. Black Titan will register the ordinary shares underlying the Series B Shares within sixty (60) days after the closing date of the sale of the Series B shares, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable thereafter.
The Series B Shares have no voting rights. However, as long as any Series B Shares are outstanding, the Black Titan shall not, whether by amendment, merger, or any other means, without the affirmative consent of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Series B Shares:
| ● | alter<br> or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights attached to the Series B Shares; |
|---|---|
| ● | amend<br> its certificate of incorporation or other charter documents in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the holders of Series<br> B Shares; |
| ● | increase<br> the number of Series B Shares which the Company may issue; |
| ● | enter<br> into or consummate any fundamental transaction; or |
| ● | enter<br> into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing. |
The Audit Committee of Black Titan has ratified the related party transaction.

As previously disclosed in the Report on Form 6-K filed in January 2026, on January 16, 2026, Black Titan entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an institutional investor (the “Buyer”) relating to the issuance and sale of a series of original issue discount senior, unsecured convertible notes for up to an aggregate principal amount of $200,000,000, which are convertible into ordinary shares of Black Titan.

Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Preferred Shares are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a Preferred Shareholder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by such Preferred Shareholder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by such Preferred Shareholder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to such Preferred Shareholder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action that the Company may have against such Preferred Shareholder.

The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion and all fees to the DTC (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Conversion Shares.
| d) | Beneficial<br> Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not effect any conversion of the Preferred<br> Shares, and a Preferred Shareholder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Preferred Shares, to the extent that,<br> after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, such Preferred Shareholder (together with<br> such Preferred Shareholder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with such Preferred Shareholder or any<br> of such Preferred Shareholder’s Affiliates (such Persons, Attribution Parties)) would beneficially own in excess<br> of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Ordinary Shares<br> beneficially owned by such Preferred Shareholder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of<br> Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall<br> exclude the number of Ordinary Shares which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Stated Value of Preferred<br> Shares beneficially owned by such Preferred Shareholder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion<br> of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise<br> analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, the Preferred Shares) beneficially owned by such Preferred<br> Shareholder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this<br> Section 6(c), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations<br> promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 6(c) applies, the determination of whether the<br> Preferred Shares are convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Preferred Shareholder together with any Affiliates<br> and Attribution Parties) and of how many shares of Preferred Shares are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Preferred<br> Shareholder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be such Preferred Shareholder’s determination<br> of whether the shares of Preferred Shares may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Preferred Shareholder together<br> with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and how many Preferred Shares are convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial<br> Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Preferred Shareholder will be deemed to represent to the Company<br> each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such conversion will not violate the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and<br> the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such representation. In addition, a determination as to<br> any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and<br> regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 6(c), in determining the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares,<br> a Preferred Shareholder may rely solely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as stated in a written notice by the Company<br> or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request (which may be via<br> email) of a Preferred Shareholder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to such Preferred Shareholder<br> the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of Ordinary Shares shall be determined after giving effect<br> to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Preferred Shares, by such Preferred Shareholder or its<br> Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of Ordinary Shares was reported. Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall mean 19.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding. The Purchaser may waive the foregoing limitation<br> upon sixty-one (61) days’ prior written notice to the Company. The provisions of this Section 6(c) shall be construed and implemented<br> in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 6(c) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof)<br> which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements<br> necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor<br> holder of Preferred Shares. |

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of Members entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
b) Subsequent Rights Offerings.

then, upon any subsequent conversion of the Preferred Shares by the Preferred Shareholder thereof, the Preferred Shareholder shall receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 7(d) on the conversion of the Preferred Shares), the number of ordinary shares (as applicable) of the successor or acquiring corporation or the number of Ordinary Shares (as applicable), if it is the surviving corporation, and all additional securities (equity or debt), cash, property or other consideration (all such additional consideration, the AlternateConsideration), receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of Ordinary Shares for which such Preferred Shareholder’s Preferred Shares are convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 6(c) on the conversion of the Preferred Shares). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one Ordinary Share in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Ordinary Shares are entitled to elect the proportion of securities, cash, property or other consideration to be received by holders of Ordinary Shares in a Fundamental Transaction, then each Preferred Shareholder of Preferred Shares shall be given the same choice as to the proportion of securities, cash, property or other consideration such Preferred Shareholder is entitled to receive upon any conversion of such Preferred Shareholder’s shares of Preferred Shares following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a new certificate of designations in respect of a new series of preferred shares of the successor or acquiring corporation, or the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, setting forth the same rights, preferences, privileges and other terms contained in this certificate of designations in respect of the Preferred Shares, including, without limitation, the provisions contained in this Section 7(d) and evidencing, among other things, the Preferred Shareholders’ right to convert such new preferred shares into Alternate Consideration. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the Successor Entity) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Preferred Shareholder and approved by the Preferred Shareholder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of a Preferred Shareholder of Preferred Shares, deliver to such Preferred Shareholder in exchange for such Preferred Shareholder’s Preferred Shares a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to the Preferred Shares which are convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital shares of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the Ordinary Shares acquirable and receivable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the Preferred Shares) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the conversion price hereunder to such shares of capital shares (but taking into account the relative value of the Ordinary Shares pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of the Preferred Shares immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Preferred Shareholder(s) thereof. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. For the avoidance of doubt, if, at any time while any shares of Preferred Shares are outstanding, a Fundamental Transaction occurs, pursuant to the terms of this Section 7(d), a Preferred Shareholder of Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to receive any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction in respect of such Preferred Shareholder’s shares of Preferred Shares, except as provided for in these Articles (or any certificate of designations in respect of a new series of preferred shares issued to the Preferred Shareholders of Preferred Shares as contemplated hereby).

For purposes of this Section 7, the number of Ordinary Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of Ordinary Shares (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) issued and outstanding.
f) Notice to the Preferred Shareholders.
i. Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of Section 7, the Company shall promptly deliver to each Preferred Shareholder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii. Notice to Allow Conversion by Preferred Shareholder. If:
| (a) | the<br> Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Ordinary Shares; |
|---|---|
| (b) | the<br> Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Ordinary Shares; |
| (c) | the<br> Company shall authorise the granting to all holders of the Ordinary Shares, rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares<br> of any class or of any rights; |
| (d) | the<br> approval of any Members of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of Ordinary Shares, any consolidation<br> or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any<br> compulsory share exchange whereby the Ordinary Shares are converted into other securities, cash or property; or |
| (e) | the<br> Company shall authorise the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, |
then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Preferred Shares, and shall cause to be delivered to each Preferred Shareholder at its last address as it shall appear upon the register of members of the Company, at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating:

|---|
| 10 |
| --- | | (ii) | the<br> date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close,<br> and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Ordinary Shares shall be entitled to exchange their Ordinary Shares for<br> securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange,<br> provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of<br> the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. | | --- | --- |
To the extent that any notice provided under Section 7(f)(ii) constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a current report on Form 8-K. The Preferred Shareholder shall remain entitled to convert the Conversion Amount of the Preferred Shares (or any part hereof) during the 15-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4(k) shall not apply in respect of Excluded Securities**,** as that term is defined in the Note.”
c. Section 4(l) of said Purchase Agreement shall be amended and restated in full as follows with the language in Section 4(l) of the Purchase Agreement replaced as follows:
“(l) Reservation of Shares. So long as any of the Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, no less than 100% of the maximum number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes then outstanding (assuming for purposes hereof that (x) the Notes are convertible at the Floor (as defined in the Notes) then in effect as of such applicable date of determination, (y) interest on the Notes shall accrue through the two (2) year anniversary of the applicable Closing Date and will be converted into Ordinary Shares at a conversion price equal to the Floor Price then in effect and (z) any such conversion shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the Notes set forth in the Notes) (collectively, the “Required Reserve Amount”); provided that at no time shall the number of Ordinary Shares reserved pursuant to this Section 4(l) be reduced other than proportionally in connection with any conversion, exercise and/or redemption, as applicable of Notes.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficient of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Amendment, each intended to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Note.
2. Amendments to the Note:
a. Section 6(a) of said Note shall be amended and restated in full as follows with the language in Section 6(a) of the Note replaced as follows:
“(a) Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Sections 7 or 17 below, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to all or substantially all of the record holders of any class of Ordinary Shares (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Ordinary Shares acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note and assuming for such purpose that the Note was converted at the Floor Price as of the applicable record date) immediately prior to the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to the extent of the Maximum Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such Ordinary Shares as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to the extent of any such excess) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance (and, if such Purchase Right has an expiration date, maturity date or other similar provision, such term shall be extended by such number of days held in abeyance, if applicable) for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right held similarly in abeyance (and, if such Purchase Right has an expiration date, maturity date or other similar provision, such term shall be extended by such number of days held in abeyance, if applicable)) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).”

Exhibit99.1
InstitutionalInfrastructure Note: The Convergence of Pre-IPO Equity, Agentic Finance, and Neobank Charters
NEWYORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 12^th^, 2026 / Black Titan Corporation (NASDAQ:BTTC)
ExecutiveSummary
The first week of May 2026 marks a structural pivot in the digital asset sector, characterized by the “retailization” of primary equity markets and the transition toward autonomous, AI-driven credit settlement. The simultaneous rise of exchange-led Pre-IPO instruments and the wide-scale deployment of “Morpho Agents” on the Base network suggests a regime shift: decentralized protocols are no longer merely mirrors of traditional finance (TradFi), but are now the primary infrastructure for previously illiquid private assets and high-velocity machine-driven commerce.
1)Exchange-Led Equity Tokenization: The Pre-IPO “Shadow Market” Goes Mainstream
The traditional barriers between private equity and retail liquidity are being dismantled as exchanges launch “Pre-IPO” instruments.
| ● | Bitget IPO Prime and SpaceX: Following its late April launch, Bitget’s “IPO Prime”<br> platform has seen significant volume for preSPAX tokens, which mirror the economic<br> performance of SpaceX ahead of its projected June 2026 listing. The implied valuation for<br> these retail-accessible instruments stands at approximately $150 billion, reflecting a “shadow<br> market” that previously only existed for accredited institutional LPs. |
|---|---|
| ● | OKX and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) Synergy: Building on the $25 billion valuation anchored<br> by ICE (parent of the NYSE), OKX is preparing for an H2 2026 launch of tokenized stocks.<br> This partnership marks a definitive “watershed moment” where traditional exchange<br> infrastructure is utilized to provide real-time cryptocurrency data in exchange for NYSE-listed<br> tokenized derivatives. |
2)Autonomous DaaS & Agentic Finance: Morpho Agents Beta on Base
The deployment of Morpho Agents this week has introduced a functional “Machine-to-Machine” (M2M) layer to the Lending-as-a-Service (LaaS) sector.
| ● | Autonomous Credit Origination: The “User Agent” module allows AI systems to manage lending<br> and borrowing positions without human intervention, utilizing natural language processing<br> to parse machine-friendly documentation. |
|---|---|
| ● | Institutional Efficiency: Since January, over 130,000 AI agents have registered on-chain identities.<br> On the Base network, these agents are being utilized by treasury desks to dynamically rebalance<br> collateralized debt positions, minimizing liquidation risks and maximizing capital utilization<br> in real-time. |
| ● | Modular Infrastructure: By separating the immutable infrastructure layer (Morpho Blue) from the<br> strategy layer (MetaMorpho), the protocol is successfully attracting institutional “Risk<br> Curators” who now manage independent credit markets with bespoke risk parameters. |
3)Neobanking Structural Pivots: US Charter Trajectories and Hybrid Settlements
May 2026 market intelligence confirms a strategic shift as major global Neobanks, including Revolut and Nubank, move to formalize their presence within the U.S. regulatory perimeter.
| ● | National Bank Charters: Both Revolut and Nubank have secured critical milestones in their applications<br> for U.S. national bank charters. This move is designed to eliminate reliance on “intermediary”<br> sponsor banks, allowing for direct control over digital asset settlement and stablecoin integration. |
|---|---|
| ● | Stablecoin Hubs: Neobanks are increasingly abandoning traditional SWIFT rails in favor of “Stablecoin<br> Sandwiches” (fiat-in, stablecoin-settlement, fiat-out). This hybrid model is capturing<br> significant market share in the B2B cross-border payment sector, offering near-instant settlement<br> at 90% lower operational costs. |
4)Institutional RWA Expansion: The OpenWorld-Figure Tokenization Agreement
On May 5, 2026, OpenWorld Ltd. and Figure Technology Solutions (NASDAQ: FIGR) announced a landmark agreement to tokenize equity on the Onchain Public Equity Network (OPEN).
| ● | Capital Market Modernization: The agreement involves tokenizing OpenWorld’s equity securities<br> in connection with its proposed NASDAQ listing. This marks the first instance of a public-ready<br> entity utilizing a blockchain-native “Open Network” for primary equity issuance<br> and management. |
|---|---|
| ● | Settlement Parity: The integration proves that public blockchains like Base and specialized subnets<br> can handle the compliance, KYC, and reporting requirements of the SEC and NASDAQ, effectively<br> merging the “back-office” of Wall Street with the transparency of the ledger. |
MarketInterpretation
First,the democratization of private equity. The rise of Pre-IPO tokens on exchanges is not merely a new trading product; it is a structural challenge to the traditional venture capital and private equity “gatekeeper” model. By tokenizing the economic rights of firms like SpaceX, exchanges are capturing the “liquidity premium” that was previously reserved for institutional SPVs.
Second,the transition to “Invisible” DeFi. The success of Morpho Agents suggests that the next phase of DaaS growth is predicated on abstraction. Institutions are no longer “managing wallets”; they are “deploying agents.” This reduces the technical debt associated with Web3 integration, allowing Neobanks to treat DeFi protocols as simple, high-yield API endpoints.
Third,the “US Charter” moat. Neobanks that successfully secure U.S. national bank charters in 2026 will possess a significant competitive moat, as they will be the only entities capable of offering compliant, 24/7 yield-bearing stablecoin products to the American retail and SME markets under the finalized stablecoin guidance.
Outlook
For the remainder of Q2 2026, we anticipate:
| 1. | Pre-IPO Expansionary Phase: Competitors (e.g., OKX, Binance) are expected to fast-track their<br> own equity-token platforms to capture the liquidity premium generated by the impending SpaceX<br> listing. |
|---|---|
| 2. | Yield-Curve Standardization: As “Agentic Finance” scales, we expect the emergence of a<br> standardized “On-Chain Risk-Free Rate” based on the aggregate yield of permissioned<br> RWA vaults on Base. |
| 3. | Institutional M&A: Expect traditional fintech conglomerates to pursue acquisitions of DaaS infrastructure<br> providers to integrate autonomous settlement capabilities before the H2 fiscal cycle. |
