Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 8, 2026, OFA Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Real World Asset Tokenization Service Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Vero 60 LLC and Vero Beach Land Development LLC, or its designated special purpose vehicle (the “Client”), in connection with a proposed residential real estate development project located in Vero Beach, Florida (the “Project”).
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company, through its Hearth RWA tokenization platform, will provide certain blockchain-based tokenization infrastructure and related technology services in connection with the Project. Such services include, among other things, the design and technical creation of digital tokens representing interests in a designated special purpose vehicle associated with the Project, development and deployment of smart contracts, digital asset registry infrastructure, integration of project-related documentation, and implementation of certain compliance-enabled technical features.
Under the Agreement, the Company is entitled to receive an aggregate platform technology fee of $7,500,000. The fee is payable in two milestone-based installments, consisting of (i) an initial installment equal to 50% of the total fee upon execution of the Agreement and delivery of certain initial platform architecture and configuration materials, and (ii) a second installment equal to the remaining 50% upon initiation of deployment of platform infrastructure and token issuance setup, and full platform integration, in each case subject to invoicing and the other terms and conditions of the Agreement. The Agreement provides that the fee constitutes compensation solely for technology and tokenization infrastructure services and is not contingent upon the success of any capital raising, token sale, or investment activity.
The Agreement further provides that the Company’s role is limited to technology infrastructure and platform services. The Agreement states that the Company will not act as an issuer, broker-dealer, placement agent, investment adviser, exchange operator, or fundraising intermediary in connection with the Project or any digital assets issued in connection therewith, and that the Client will remain solely responsible for securities law compliance, offering structure, investor-related activities, and related matters.
The Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, confidentiality obligations, indemnification provisions, limitations of liability, and termination provisions. The Agreement will remain in effect until completion of the services described therein, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its terms.

Exhibit 99.1
OFA Group Enters $7.5 Million Tokenization Platform Services Agreement for Vero Beach, Florida Residential Development Project
Rolling Hills, California – May 14, 2026 — OFA Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: OFAL) (“OFA” or the “Company”), a technology-driven architecture, real estate, and digital asset infrastructure company, today announced that, on May 8, 2026, the Company entered into a Real World Asset Tokenization Service Agreement (the “Agreement”) through its proprietary Hearth RWA tokenization platform with Vero 60 LLC and Vero Beach Land Development LLC (or its designated special purpose vehicle) (the “Client”).
Under the Agreement, the Company will provide blockchain-based tokenization technology infrastructure services in connection with the Client’s residential real estate development project located in Vero Beach, Florida (the “Project”). The Project consists of the redevelopment of an existing agriculture property into a low-density residential community. The projected stabilized value of the completed Project, as estimated by the Client, is approximately $500 million, subject to confirmation by an independent valuation report prior to token issuance. The projected Project value reflects the Client’s estimate for the completed development and does not represent any economic interest of the Company in the underlying real estate.
Platform Technology Fee
As consideration for the technology and tokenization infrastructure services described in the Agreement, the Client has agreed to pay the Company a platform technology fee of $7.5 million (the “Platform Technology Fee”), payable in two installments of $3.75 million each, subject to satisfaction of the milestones specified in the Agreement. The Platform Technology Fee is payable in U.S. dollars or, at the Client’s election, in Bitcoin or USD Coin, in each case as more fully described in the Agreement. The Company has received the first installment of $3.75 million in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.
The Platform Technology Fee:
| ● | is contractually established under the executed Agreement; |
| ● | is not contingent upon the success of any capital raising, token sale, or investment activity, and is payable solely for access to and use of the Hearth platform and related infrastructure services; | |
| ● | is payable in milestone-based installments aligned with platform deployment phases as set forth in the Agreement; and | |
| ● | does not represent recognized revenue under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Revenue recognition will be determined in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies and applicable accounting standards based on the satisfaction of performance obligations. |
Project and Token Structure
Tokenization under the Agreement is contemplated to occur at the pre-development stage of the Project. Digital tokens created under the Agreement are intended by the Client to represent equity or economic interests in a special purpose vehicle designated by the Client to hold the Project, and are not intended to constitute direct ownership of the underlying real property.
The Client, as issuer of the tokens, will be solely responsible for compliance with all applicable federal, state, and foreign securities laws and regulations, including selection of the applicable offering exemption and engagement of qualified securities counsel and any registered broker-dealer or placement agent required for the offering.
Scope of Services
Through the Hearth platform, the Company will provide technology infrastructure services to the Client, which may include:
| ● | design and technical creation of digital tokens; | |
| ● | development and deployment of smart contracts on the applicable blockchain network; | |
| ● | maintenance of a digital registry of token issuances on the applicable blockchain network; | |
| ● | technical support for the integration of project-related documentation; and | |
| ● | implementation of technical features reflecting compliance parameters specified by the Client and its counsel, including transfer restrictions and integrated third-party identity verification tools. |
The Company’s role under the Agreement is strictly limited to technology and tokenization infrastructure. The Company does not act, and the Agreement expressly provides that the Company shall not act, as an issuer of securities, broker-dealer, placement agent, investment adviser, exchange operator, or fundraising intermediary. The Company will not solicit, introduce, or refer investors, will not hold custody of investor funds or token proceeds, and will not participate in any capital raising activity. All offering structure, investor solicitation, marketing, regulatory compliance, and reporting obligations are the sole responsibility of the Client and its advisors.
Strategic Significance
The Agreement represents continued commercialization of the Company’s Hearth RWA tokenization platform and reflects ongoing institutional interest in blockchain-based infrastructure for real estate development.
