In exchange for the Target Shares, Spectral shall issue to the Heritage and the other Holders listed on the signature page attached hereto at total of 8,000,000 shares of Spectral’s common stock (the “Shares"). Each Holder shall be jointly and severally obligated to this Agreement including the Lock Up and Trickle Out provisions contained herein. It is intended that none of the Holders, who are individual, independent entities not under Common Control, each hold their Spectral stock separately and make independent decisions regarding their beneficial ownership, sale, transfer, voting and have the exclusive economic benefit of the Shares. Provides that the each of the Holders consent, the Holders may assign the Shares freely between the date of this Agreement and the Closing.
1.2 Closing
The closing of the transactions contemplated hereby (the "Closing") shall take place on the date all required approvals of the respective boards of directors and shareholders of Spectral and Forty Two have been obtained, and all conditions to Closing set forth in this Agreement have been satisfied or waived. The Closing may take place remotely via electronic exchange of documents and signatures.
1.3 Closing Deliveries
At the Closing: (a) Spectral shall deliver the Shares and the Escrow Shares as set forth in Article IV; (b) Heritage shall deliver to Spectral certificates or instruments evidencing the Target Shares, duly endorsed for transfer; and (c) each Party shall deliver any other closing deliverables required by this Agreement.
ARTICLE II: AUDIT AND LOCK-UP
2.1 PCAOB Audit
Promptly upon Closing, Spectral shall engage a PCAOB-registered accounting firm to conduct a GAAP-compliant audit of Forty Two’s financial statements for fiscal years 2023 and 2024, at Spectral’s sole cost and expense. Heritage and Forty Two shall cooperate fully in support of the audit.
2.2 Lock-Up Period
The Shares issued to Heritage shall be subject to a lock-up period of nine (9) months following completion of the audit.
2.3 Trickle-Out Release
Following the expiration of the lock-up period, 10% of the total number of Shares held by Heritage shall be released from restriction on a monthly basis. Spectral may, in its sole discretion, elect to release all remaining locked-up Shares in the event that, during any sixty (60) consecutive calendar day period, the average daily trading volume of Spectral’s common stock equals or exceeds five times the number of Shares still subject to lock-up. The thirty day period prior to the release of any Shares under this provision shall be known as the “Measurement Period.” If the volume weighed average closing price at the end of the Measurement Period is lower by 5% or more than it was at the beginning of the Measurement Period, Spectral may delay the release of shares hereunder for a period of thirty days (“Selling Pause”). Spectral may invoke the Selling Pause no more than three times during the course of this Agreement.
ARTICLE III: PUT OPTION
3.1 Put Right
Beginning one hundred eighty (180) days following the completion of the audit, and for a period of ninety (90) calendar days thereafter, Heritage shall have the right to require Spectral or its designee to purchase 333,333 Shares for a total of one million U.S. dollars (US$1,000,000) in cash. Spectral shall pay such amount to Heritage within ten (10) business days of receipt of the put notice and surrendered Shares.
ARTICLE IV: PERFORMANCE GUARANTEES AND ESCROW
4.1 2025 Financial Targets
Heritage represents and warrants that Forty Two shall achieve, on a consolidated basis during fiscal year 2025, a minimum of sixteen million U.S. dollars (US$16,000,000) in revenue and one million U.S. dollars (US$1,000,000) in net profit.
4.2 Bonus Shares
In the event that Forty Two’s consolidated net profit for fiscal year 2025 exceeds one million U.S. dollars (US$1,000,000), Spectral shall issue one million (1,000,000) additional shares of Spectral common stock to Heritage for each one million U.S. dollars (US$1,000,000) in net profit above such threshold, subject to the cap set forth in Schedule E. Spectral will issue pro rata Bonus Shares for any net income that exceeds the threshold by more than one million U.S. dollars (US$1,000,000).
4.3 Valuation Guarantee and Additional Shares
If the aggregate market value of the Shares (determined based on the thirty (30) day volume-weighted average price immediately prior to the end of the lock-up period) is less than thirty million U.S. dollars (US$30,000,000), then Spectral shall issue such number of additional shares (the "Additional Shares") to Heritage as are required such that the combined value of the Shares, Bonus Shares, and Additional Shares equals US$30,000,000. In addition, if Spectral does not achieve an uplisting to the NASDAQ entry tier marketplace for its shares or otherwise provide Forty Two satisfactory evidence of sufficient liquidity by the time of the expiration of the Lock Up period, Forty Two may, at its sole discretion, seek to repurchase its shares in exchange for the return of the Shares plus any amounts advanced to Forty Two by Spectral.
4.4 Escrow Shares
Simultaneously with the issuance of the Shares, Spectral shall issue 8,000,000 additional shares of Spectral common stock (the "Escrow Shares") to be held in escrow by Spectral’s transfer agent. The Escrow Shares shall be released (or cancelled) in accordance with the Bonus Share and Valuation Guarantee provisions. Any remaining Escrow Shares not required to satisfy Heritage’s entitlements shall be returned to Spectral for cancellation. Any shares due under the Escrow Shares may be offset by Spectral for the Performance Adjustment in Section 4.5 below. The Escrow Shares shall be held in such a manner and disbursed in such a manner that no Holder triggers affiliate (5% or greater) shareholder obligations as a result of the Escrow Shares.
4.5 2026 Performance Adjustment
If Forty Two fails to achieve the 2025 financial targets, then the lock-up period shall be extended for twelve (12) months. The revised 2026 financial targets shall be: (a) minimum revenue of US$20,000,000 and (b) minimum net profit of US$1,500,000. If Forty Two fails to meet either target, the number of Shares retained by Heritage shall be reduced proportionally based on the greater of the percentage shortfall in revenue or net profit. This provision may be enforced by continuing the lock-up provision until Heritage surrenders the appropriate shares hereunder for cancellation. In addition, if there are material deficiencies in the PCAOB audited financial statements in the sole judgment of Spectral, they shall have the right to make an adjustment to this provision with the good faith agreement of Forty Two.

Spectral Capital Corporation Signs Agreement to Acquire 42 Telecom Ltd., a Global Leader in Messaging Infrastructure
Seattle, WA – July 15, 2025 – Spectral Capital Corporation (OTC: FCCN) today announced that it has entered into a binding agreement to acquire 100% of the equity of 42 Telecom Ltd. ("Forty Two"), a Maltese-based telecommunications infrastructure provider with global operations. The transaction, governed by a definitive share exchange agreement expected to close shortly, reflects Spectral’s strategic expansion into high-growth enterprise messaging, AI-enhanced fraud prevention, and quantum-integrated blockchain technology.
Forty Two is recognized as one of the world’s leading providers of international messaging infrastructure and is a leading foreign provider of SMS traffic into Vietnam for a decade, with billions of messages delivered. The company has built a robust global platform that integrates blockchain technology and proprietary fraud prevention tools into messaging workflows. Recently, Forty Two launched a high-margin enterprise messaging suite designed to accelerate its already rapid growth.
Under the terms of the agreement, Spectral will issue 8,000,000 shares of its common stock to Heritage Ventures Ltd., the sole shareholder of Forty Two. An additional 8,000,000 shares will be placed in escrow to support earnout and valuation protection provisions tied to Forty Two’s 2025 and 2026 financial performance, for which the term sheet guarantees revenues of $15,000,000 in 2025.
"This acquisition gives Spectral access to one of the most advanced messaging infrastructures in the world, with unique penetration into Southeast Asian markets and a growing base of enterprise clients," said Jenifer Osterwalder, CEO of Spectral Capital Corporation. "Combined with Spectral’s patent-pending technologies in compression, fraud prevention, and verticalized data mining, we believe Forty Two’s migration to our Distributed Quantum Ledger architecture will unlock tremendous global value."
Forty Two’s proprietary messaging gateway and compliance tools offer differentiated capabilities for customers seeking security, scalability, and integration with blockchain and AI-enhanced environments. The combined company will target enterprise messaging use cases in healthcare, finance, and government sectors.
“Joining Spectral gives us access to technological acceleration to scale our roadmap much faster,” said Glen Warren, General Manager of 42 Ltd., “We believe Spectral’s AI and quantum technologies can dramatically amplify the reach and intelligence of our core platform. We’re particularly excited about the ability to embed Spectral’s compression and fraud detection engines directly into our transactional messaging backbone.”
The acquisition is expected to add dozens of patentable inventions to Spectral’s growing intellectual property portfolio. These inventions, developed internally by Forty Two, include next-generation fraud detection, real-time compliance logic, and blockchain-integrated messaging verification frameworks.
The transaction remains subject to the execution of a definitive agreement and customary closing conditions, including required regulatory and board approvals. Upon closing, Forty Two will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Spectral Capital Corporation.
