SECTION 7 - REGULATION FD
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On April 9, 2026, Richard "Rick" Svetkoff filed a complaint in the 18th Judicial Circuit in and for Brevard County, Florida (Case No. 26TC-245660994), against Starfighters Space, Inc. (the "Company"), Timothy Franta (the Company's current CEO and a board member), board members Sean Bromley, Brian Goldmeier and Geoffrey "Hak" Hickman, and Flagship Bank as trustee for funds held in the name of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Starfighters International, Inc. ("SFII"). Mr. Svetkoff previously served as the Company's CEO, President and Executive Chairman, and as a Director, until his voluntary resignation from these positions on February 19, 2026. Following his resignation, the Company removed Mr. Svetkoff as an officer and director of SFII, a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Florida, and Starfighters International, Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of Texas, on March 9, 2026, and caused Articles of Amendment to be filed for SFII with the Florida Secretary of State office on March 27, 2026. In addition, the Company removed Mr. Svetkoff as an officer and director of Starfighters, Inc. ("SI"), a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Florida, on April 2, 2026, and caused Articles of Amendment to be filed for SI with the Florida Secretary of State office on April 3, 2026.
Mr. Svetkoff's complaint asserts three counts: (i) a claim for breach of fiduciary duty against the director defendants alleging, among other things, self-dealing, mismanagement of assets, and failure to act in good faith and seeking damages alleged to exceed $26,000,000, as well as equitable relief, including removal of certain directors; (ii) a claim under the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, alleging that the Company and Mr. Franta improperly used certain corporate entities and related assets to divert business and to trade on plaintiff's goodwill, and injunctive relief, damages, to be determined at trial, attorneys' fees and transfer of the domain name starfighters.net; and (iii) a claim for injunctive relief relating to alleged changes to corporate records and control over certain assets, including funds held at Flagship Bank.
The Company denies all of the allegations of the complaint and intends to vigorously defend itself. The Company's internal investigation identified alleged misconduct by Mr. Svetkoff both prior to and following his resignation on February 19, 2026. Mr. Svetkoff opened an offshore bank account in the Company's name at Hamilton Reserve Bank of St. Kitts and Nevis and transferred approximately $1.0 million of SFII's funds into that account without authorization, though the funds were subsequently returned and such account was closed. The Company also identified several issues related to banking transactions in SFII's accounts at Flagship Bank, including, but not limited to, unauthorized withdrawals and transfers of funds in the aggregate amount of $1,895,869.04 to Mr. Svetkoff and RLB Aviation, Inc., a corporation owned by Mr. Svetkoff's wife, Brenda Svetkoff, without approval of the Company's Board of Directors or audit committee.
Based on the foregoing, the Company is preparing to file a response and is evaluating potential counterclaims against Mr. Svetkoff and related parties, which may include claims for conversion, misappropriation of corporate assets, and breach of fiduciary duty. The Company is also evaluating whether to refer certain matters to governmental authorities. The Company reserves all rights and defenses in connection with this matter, cannot predict the outcome of this matter, and an adverse result could have a material adverse effect on the Company business, financial condition, or results of operations.
