(“NBD Merger Sub”), pursuant to which NBD Merger Sub will merge with and into NOMAD, with NOMAD surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
On June 17, 2026, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Company issued a Secured Promissory Note in the aggregate principal amount of $6,500,000 (the “Note”) to NOMAD. The proceeds of the Note will be used (i) to repay in full NOMAD’s outstanding obligations under that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of February 12, 2024, between NOMAD and BPCP Investment Holdings, LP, as successor in interest to Bay Point Capital Partners II, LP, with such portion of the proceeds being disbursed by the Company directly to BPCP Investment Holdings, LP on behalf of NOMAD, and (ii) for working capital and general corporate purposes of NOMAD. The Note is secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of NOMAD’s assets.
The Note matures 30 days from the date of issuance, subject to automatic 30-day extensions so long as the Merger Agreement remains in effect and has not been terminated. Upon the closing of the Merger, the outstanding principal amount of the Note will be offset against amounts otherwise deliverable to NOMAD pursuant to Section 6.05 of the Merger Agreement. If the Merger Agreement is terminated due to a breach by the Company, the Note will be repayable within six (6) months of such termination. If the Merger Agreement is terminated due to a breach by NOMAD, the Note will be due and payable within three (3) days of such termination.

SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE
| Principal Amount: $6,500,000.00 | June 17, 2026 |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, NOMAD Transportable Power Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of Lixte Biotechnology Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Lender”), the principal amount of Six Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($6,500,000.00) (the “Loan”), together with all accrued interest thereon, as provided in this Promissory Note (this “Note”). This Note is issued in connection with that certain Merger Agreement, dated as of June 11, 2026 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Lender, the Borrower, and NBD Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The proceeds of the Loan shall be disbursed as follows: (i) an amount equal to the outstanding balance necessary to repay in full the obligations of the Borrower under that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of February 12, 2024, between the Borrower and BPCP Investment Holdings, LP, as successor in interest to Bay Point Capital Partners II, LP (the “Bay Point Loan Agreement”), in accordance with that certain payoff letter, dated June 5, 2026, between the Borrower and BPCP Investment Holdings, LP (the “Payoff Letter”), shall be disbursed by the Lender directly to BPCP Investment Holdings, LP on behalf of the Borrower in accordance with the wire instructions set forth in the Payoff Letter, and (ii) the remainder of the proceeds shall be disbursed to the Borrower for working capital and general corporate purposes. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement.
1. Payment Dates.
(a) Maturity Date. The aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts payable under this Note shall be due and payable on the date that is thirty (30) days after the date hereof (the “Initial Maturity Date”); provided, however, that the Initial Maturity Date shall automatically be extended for successive thirty (30)-day periods (each, an “Extension Period”) without any action by any party so long as the Merger Agreement remains in full force and effect and has not been terminated in accordance with its terms as of the last day of the then-current period. The date on which the Loan becomes due and payable (whether the Initial Maturity Date, as extended by any Extension Period, or any earlier date as provided herein) is referred to as the “Maturity Date”.
(b)
Acceleration upon Termination of Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding Section 1(a):
(i) If the Merger Agreement is terminated due to a breach by the Lender (or PubCo, as defined in the Merger Agreement), the outstanding principal amount of the Loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable on the date that is six (6) months following the date of such termination.
(ii) If the Merger Agreement is terminated due to a breach by the Borrower (or the Company, as defined in the Merger Agreement), the outstanding principal amount of the Loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be immediately due and payable within three (3) days following the date of such termination.
(c) Offset at Closing. Upon the Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the outstanding principal amount of this Note (and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if applicable) shall automatically be offset against, and shall reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the amounts otherwise deliverable to the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.05 of the Merger Agreement. Upon such offset, this Note shall be deemed paid in full and shall be cancelled and of no further force or effect.
(d) Prepayment. The Borrower may prepay the Loan in whole or in part at any time without penalty or premium.
2. Interest.
(a) Interest Rate. The principal amount outstanding under this Note from time to time shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to fifteen percent (15%). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan during the period from the date hereof through and including the earlier of (i) the Closing Date and (ii) the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms (such earlier date, the “Interest Commencement Date”).
(b) Interest Payment Dates. All accrued and unpaid interest shall be payable on the Maturity Date.
(c) Default Interest. If any amount payable hereunder (including inter alia, any unpaid interest) is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace period), such overdue amount shall bear interest at eight percent (8%) from the date such amount was due until paid.
(d) Computation of Interest. All computations of interest hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 365/366 days, as the case may be, pro-rated for the actual number of days elapsed.
(e) Interest Rate Limitation. If at any time the Interest Rate payable on the Loan shall exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law, such Interest Rate shall be reduced automatically to the maximum rate permitted.
3. Security Interest. To secure the prompt and complete payment and performance of all obligations of the Borrower under this Note, the Borrower hereby grants to the Lender a continuing first-priority security interest in and lien upon all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all of the following property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, wherever located: all accounts, chattel paper, deposit accounts, documents, equipment, general intangibles (including payment intangibles and software), goods (including fixtures), instruments, intellectual property, inventory, investment property, letter of credit rights, money, commercial tort claims, and all proceeds and products of the foregoing (collectively, the “Collateral”). The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender to file one or more UCC financing statements (and any amendments or continuations thereof) in such form and in such jurisdictions as the Lender deems necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest granted hereby. Upon Payment in Full or offset of this Note at Closing pursuant to Section 1(c), the Lender shall release all security interests and liens granted hereunder and shall file or authorize the filing of UCC termination statements with respect thereto. “Payment in Full” means the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all obligations under this Note.
4. Payment Mechanics.
(a) Manner of Payment. All payments of principal and interest shall be made in US dollars on the date on which such payment is due. Such payments shall be made by cashier’s check, certified check, or wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Lender’s account at a bank specified by the Lender in writing to the Borrower from time to time.

Exhibit 99.1
LIXTE Biotechnology Provides Update on NOMAD Acquisition; Transaction Expected to Close On or About July 1, 2026
Company to Loan $6.5 Million Prior to Closing to Fund Order Backlog and Working Capital Needs – Combined Company to be Renamed NOMAD Power Solutions, Inc. and Trade Under a New Ticker Symbol
BOCA RATON, Fla. & WATERBURY, Vt. — June 18, 2026 — LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: LIXT) (“LIXTE” or the “Company”) today provided an update on its previously announced definitive agreement to acquire 100% of NOMAD Transportable Power Systems, Inc. (“NOMAD”), the market leader in deployable, utility-grade battery energy storage systems (BESS).
The Company expects the acquisition to close on or about July 1, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and required approvals.
Pre-Closing Capital Advance
To accelerate NOMAD’s commercial momentum ahead of the closing, LIXTE will loan $6.5 million to NOMAD prior to the anticipated closing the transaction. The loan proceeds are intended to fund the procurement of long-lead components against NOMAD’s active order pipeline and to support working capital as NOMAD scales manufacturing to meet accelerating customer demand. Deploying capital ahead of closing is designed to ensure NOMAD can convert its growing backlog into delivered systems without interruption to its production cadence.
“Putting capital to work now, ahead of closing, reflects our conviction in NOMAD’s platform and attempting to fulfill the demand we are seeing,” said Geordan Pursglove, Chief Executive Officer of LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings, Inc. “This loan allows NOMAD to keep pace with its order book and continue scaling without delay as we move toward completing the transaction.”
Corporate Name and Ticker Symbol Change
Upon closing, and subject to required approvals, the Company will be renamed NOMAD Power Solutions, Inc. and will begin trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market under a new ticker symbol, to be announced. The new corporate identity reflects the Company’s singular focus on solving the power-availability constraint facing utilities, industrial operators and the rapidly expanding data center market.
Purpose-Built for the Data Center Era
NOMAD operates mobile, utility-grade battery platform that has been utility-tested and validated for deployment alongside investor-owned utilities, electric cooperatives, municipal utilities and large industrial energy users. The platform’s mobility allows megawatt-scale storage to be deployed in real time mission critical environments when and where its needed .
In the data center environments — where even momentary interruptions in power quality can disrupt mission-critical workloads — this combination of utility-grade reliability, near-instantaneous response and rapid mobile deployment makes NOMAD’s platform uniquely suited to the demands of AI compute and high-density data infrastructure.
As artificial intelligence and data center buildout drive electricity demand at an unprecedented pace, NOMAD’s deployable architecture provides operators a way to bring reliable, utility-grade power online in timeframes that fixed assets cannot match.
“NOMAD has built over the last six years a mobile utility-grade BESS platform engineered to the standards that utilities and hyperscale operators require,” said John Travaglini, Chief Executive Officer of NOMAD Transportable Power Systems. “The acceleration in demand from AI infrastructure and data center customers confirms that deployable, utility-grade storage is becoming an essential layer of the modern grid.”
