Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement

 

On May 8, 2026, RMX Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an intellectual property purchase agreement (the “IP Purchase Agreement”) with Apollo Group Enterprises, LLC (“Apollo”), pursuant to which the Company will acquire all of Apollo’s right, title and interest in and to certain intellectual property assets described therein relating to software platforms (the “IP Assets”) in consideration for issuing Apollo 1,500,000 shares (the “Consideration Shares”) of Class A Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (the “Class A Common Stock”).

 

Pursuant to the IP Purchase Agreement, the closing shall occur no later than May 17, 2026 (the “Closing”). At the Closing, the Company shall issue the Consideration Shares and Apollo shall deliver title to the IP Assets. The Consideration Shares shall be fully vested at the time of issuance, but shall bear restrictive legends and be subject to a lock-up period of 180 days following such issuance and an additional leak-out period of 180 days following the lock-up period, during which sales of the Consideration Shares shall be limited to no more than 10% of the average daily trading volume per trading day.

 

The IP Purchase Agreement also contains mutual indemnification provisions with respect to breaches of representations and warranties as well as to any breach or failure to perform any covenant, agreement, or obligation contained therein, and indemnification by Apollo of the Company and its affiliates with respect to certain damages arising from or relating to any excluded asset, any third-party non-frivolous intellectual property right claim existing on or prior to the Closing, and any taxes attributable to the IP Assets for any period ending on or prior to the Closing. In the case of indemnification provided with respect to breaches of certain non-fundamental representations and warranties, the indemnifying party will only become liable for indemnified losses to the extent that the amount exceeds an aggregate threshold of $50,000. However, this threshold limitation does not apply to claims for breaches of certain fundamental representations and warranties, fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation by the indemnifying party, excluded assets, or taxes. In addition, the aggregate remedy with respect to any and all indemnifiable losses may in no event exceed the value of the Consideration Shares as of the Closing. However, this remedy limitation does not apply to claims for breaches of certain fundamental representations and warranties, fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation by the indemnifying party, excluded assets, or taxes.

 

The IP Purchase Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and the description above is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.

 

Private Placement Offering

 

On April 17, 2026, the Company conducted a closing of its ongoing private placement offering (the “Offering”) and entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell 54.4 units (the “Units”), with each Unit consisting of (i) an unsecured 18% promissory note (the “Note”) and (ii) a five year warrant to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.50 per share (the “Warrants”). The Warrants are exercisable immediately and may be exercised on a cashless basis.

 

Each Unit was priced $25,000 and included a Note with an aggregate principal amount of $25,000 and a Warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. The gross proceeds from the Offering were $1,360,000, or up to $2,720,000 if the Warrants are fully exercised for cash, and will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

The Notes mature on the earlier of June 30, 2026, or upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event. A “Liquidity Event” is any of the following: (i) a firm commitment underwritten initial public offering or direct listing of the Class A Common Stock, resulting in a listing of the Class A Common Stock on a national securities exchange, (ii) an acquisition of the Company as a result of a sale of all or substantially all of the capital stock or assets of the Company to any unaffiliated third person, (iii) the merger of the Company with a special purpose acquisition corporation listed on a national securities exchange (a “SPAC”) or a subsidiary of a SPAC, in which transaction the stockholders of the Company own a majority of the equity securities of the SPAC following the closing thereof, or (iv) the consummation of a merger of the Company with a fully reporting public corporation without any significant business activities that is then trading on a national securities exchange.

 

The Company may prepay the Notes in full at any time with no prepayment penalty. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined in the Note), at the option and upon the declaration of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes and upon written notice to the Company, the Notes shall accelerate and all principal and unpaid accrued interest shall become due and payable.

The Subscription Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, indemnification obligations of the Company, and other obligations of the parties. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Subscription Agreement were made only for purposes of such Subscription Agreement and are made as of specific dates; are solely for the benefit of the parties (except as specifically set forth therein); may be subject to qualifications and limitations agreed upon by the parties instead of establishing matters as facts; and may be subject to standards of materiality and knowledge applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors generally. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company.

 

Forms of the Warrants, the Subscription Agreement, and the Notes are filed as Exhibit 4.1, Exhibit 10.1, and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and the descriptions above are qualified in their entirety by reference to such exhibits.

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated hereby reference.

 

The securities that may be issued by the Company under the IP Purchase Agreement and the Subscription Agreement are being offered and sold by the Company in transactions that are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D thereunder. In the IP Purchase Agreement and the Subscription Agreement, Apollo and each Investor represented to the Company, among other things, that it is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act). Accordingly, the offer and sale by the Company of the securities that may be issued and sold under the IP Purchase Agreement and the Subscription Agreement have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws and, therefore, such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws.

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of the Company, nor shall there be any sale of any securities of the Company in any state or other jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.

 

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On May 12, 2026, the Company issued a press release to announce the IP Purchase Agreement. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

 

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01 (including Exhibit 99.1) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

The press release attached hereto, and the statements contained therein, may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or the Company’s future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify these statements because they contain words such as “may,” “will,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “projects,” “intends,” “should,” “seeks,” “future,” “continue,” “plan,” “target,” “predict,” “potential,” or the negative of such terms, or other comparable terminology that concern the Company’s expectations, strategy, plans, or intentions. Forward-looking statements relating to expectations about future results or events are based upon information available to the Company as of today’s date and are not guarantees of the future performance of the Company, and actual results may vary materially from the results and expectations discussed. The Company’s expectations and beliefs regarding these matters may not materialize, and actual results in future periods are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, including risks and uncertainties described in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the Company or other matters and attributable to the Company or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above.

(a) conflict with or result in a violation or breach of the organizational documents of Seller.

 

(b) conflict with or result in a violation or breach of, or constitute a default under, or require the consent of any Person under, or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, or acceleration under, any contract, agreement, license, permit, or other instrument or obligation to which Seller is a party or by which Seller or any of the IP Assets may be bound; or

 

(c) violate any Applicable Law applicable to Seller or by which any of the IP Assets may be bound.

 

(d) Except as set forth on Schedule 5.04 of the Disclosure Schedule, there is no requirement applicable to Seller to make any filing, declaration, or registration with, or to obtain any permit, authorization, consent, or approval of, any Governmental Entity as a condition to the lawful consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Seller has delivered to Buyer true, correct, and complete copies of all such assignment agreements.

 

10

 

 

5.07 Non-Infringement. To Seller’s Knowledge, neither the IP Assets nor the use, exploitation, or exercise of rights therein as currently conducted by Seller infringes, misappropriates, dilutes, or otherwise violates any intellectual property or proprietary right of any third party. To Seller’s Knowledge, no third party is infringing, misappropriating, or otherwise violating any of the IP Assets.

Except as set forth on Schedule 5.08 of the Disclosure Schedule, there are no outstanding licenses, sublicenses, covenants not to sue, options, rights of first refusal, or other agreements or arrangements granted by Seller to any third party with respect to the IP Assets that would impair or restrict Buyer’s exclusive ownership and use of the IP Assets following the Closing.

 

5.09 IP Registrations. Schedule 2.01(a), Schedule 2.01(b), and Schedule 2.01(c) set forth a complete and accurate list of all registered IP Assets and all pending applications for registration thereof, including the applicable registration or application number, filing date, registration date, and jurisdiction. All registered IP Assets are valid and subsisting, and all applicable maintenance, renewal, annuity, and other fees with respect thereto that are due and payable on or before the Closing Date have been timely paid.

 

5.10 No Litigation. There is no pending or, to Seller’s Knowledge, threatened claim, litigation, action, suit, proceeding, investigation, opposition, interference, inter partes review, or other proceeding before any Governmental Entity contesting the validity, ownership, registerability, enforceability, or right to use, sell, license, or dispose of any of the IP Assets (each, an “IP Proceeding”). To Seller’s Knowledge, there is no basis for any such IP Proceeding. Seller has not received any written notice asserting that the IP Assets or the proposed use, sale, license, or disposition thereof conflicts with the rights of any third party.

 

5.11 Open-Source Software. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.11 of the Disclosure Schedule (which shall include a complete open-source software bill of materials), (a) no Software included in the IP Assets contains, is derived from, is linked to, or is distributed with any Open-Source Software in a manner that would (i) require the disclosure or distribution of source code of any proprietary Software included in the IP Assets, (ii) impose any restriction on the right to charge fees or royalties for distribution or licensing of any Software included in the IP Assets, or (iii) grant to any third party any rights or immunities under any intellectual property rights embodied in the IP Assets; and (b) Seller has at all times complied in all material respects with the terms and conditions of all applicable open-source licenses.

No such Person has any claim, right, or interest in or to any IP Asset.

 

5.13 Protection of IP Assets. Seller has taken commercially reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of all Trade Secrets included in the IP Assets, including requiring all officers, employees, contractors, and consultants with access to or knowledge of such Trade Secrets to execute written confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements.

5.14 Data Privacy and Security. To Seller’s Knowledge, Seller has complied in all material respects with all Applicable Laws and contractual obligations relating to the collection, use, storage, transfer, processing, and protection of personally identifiable information and other regulated data included in or collected through the IP Assets.

 

5.15 No Government Grants or University Rights. None of the IP Assets were developed using, or are subject to, any rights, restrictions, or encumbrances arising from government grants, government funding, university funding, or any agreement with a governmental or educational institution that would give any Governmental Entity, university, or other Person any right, title, or interest in or to the IP Assets.

 

5.16 No Prior Transfers. Seller has not previously sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed, or otherwise disposed of any right, title, or interest in or to any of the IP Assets to any Person, other than the grant of licenses disclosed on Schedule 5.8 of the Disclosure Schedule.

Seller is not now insolvent and will not be rendered insolvent by the sale, transfer, and assignment of the IP Assets pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Seller is not entering into this Agreement with the intent to defraud, delay, or hinder its creditors, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not constitute a fraudulent conveyance or otherwise give rise to any right of any creditor of Seller to any of the IP Assets after the Closing.

 

5.19 Brokers and Finders. Neither Seller nor any of its officers, directors, members, managers, employees, or agents has employed any broker or finder or incurred any liability for any brokerage fee, commission, or finder’s fee in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

5.20 Investment Representations.

 

(a) Accredited Investor. Seller is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller (i) is a limited liability company not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Consideration Shares, with total assets in excess of $5,000,000, or (ii) is a limited liability company in which all of the equity owners are accredited investors.

 

(b) Member Accreditation. Each member of Seller who will receive a distribution of Consideration Shares or any beneficial interest therein (whether directly or through the Seller) is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

12

 

 

(c) Investment Intent. Seller is acquiring the Consideration Shares solely for Seller’s own account, for investment purposes only, and not with a view toward, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. Seller has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the Consideration Shares, except in compliance with the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Seller does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement, or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer, or grant participations to such Person or to any third party with respect to any of the Consideration Shares.

 

(d) Sophistication and Experience. Seller, either alone or together with its representatives, has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Consideration Shares. Seller is capable of bearing the economic risks of such investment, including a complete loss of its investment in the Consideration Shares.

 

(e) Access to Information. Seller has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, Buyer and its officers and directors concerning Buyer and the terms and conditions of the issuance of the Consideration Shares, and to obtain any additional information that Buyer possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to verify the accuracy of the information provided. Seller has received and reviewed the SEC Reports and has had access to such financial and other information concerning Buyer as Seller has deemed necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the Consideration Shares.

 

(f) Restricted Securities. Seller understands that the Consideration Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities laws, are being offered and sold in reliance upon federal and state exemptions for transactions not involving any public offering, and cannot be sold or otherwise transferred unless (i) subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or (ii) an exemption from such registration is available. Seller understands that the Consideration Shares will bear a customary restrictive legend reflecting the foregoing.

 

(g) Rule 144 Acknowledgment. Seller acknowledges that the Consideration Shares must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available. Seller is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, which permits limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things: the availability of certain current public information about Buyer; the resale occurring not less than six (6) months (or one (1) year if Buyer is not subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act) after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold; the sale being effected through a “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a “market maker”; and compliance with applicable volume limitations. Seller understands that Rule 144 is not currently available for the resale of the Consideration Shares and that Buyer is under no obligation to register any of the Consideration Shares under the Securities Act (except as may be set forth in any registration rights agreement between the Parties).

 

13

 

 

(h) Rule 145 Acknowledgment. If the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement requires the approval or consent of the members or equity holders of Seller (or any vote or written consent constituting an investment decision with respect to the Consideration Shares), Seller acknowledges that such vote or consent may cause the transaction to be subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act. In such event, Seller acknowledges that any resale of the Consideration Shares by Seller or by any member, equity holder, or affiliate (within the meaning of Rule 145) of Seller who voted or consented to the transaction may be subject to the conditions and limitations of Rule 145, including holding period requirements and volume limitations applicable to affiliates. Seller shall take all actions reasonably requested by Buyer to ensure compliance with Rule 145 if applicable, including providing Buyer with written confirmation of the members or equity holders who voted or consented to the transaction.

 

(i) No General Solicitation. Seller acknowledges that neither Buyer nor any agent or other Person acting on Buyer’s behalf has offered or sold the Consideration Shares by any form of general solicitation or general advertising, including, without limitation, any advertisement, article, notice, or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar medium or broadcast over television or radio, or any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.

 

(j) Reliance on Exemptions. Seller understands that the Consideration Shares are being offered and sold to Seller in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and state securities laws, and that Buyer is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and Seller’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments, and understandings of Seller set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of Seller to acquire the Consideration Shares.

 

5.21 No Other Representations. Except for the representations and warranties set forth in this Article V, neither Seller nor any other Person makes any express or implied representation or warranty with respect to Seller or the IP Assets in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

With respect to former employees, officers, and agents, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate Buyer’s access to such Persons, provided that Seller shall not be liable for, or deemed in breach of this Agreement as a result of, any refusal by any such former employee, officer, or agent to cooperate with Buyer’s requests; provided, further, that Seller shall, upon Buyer’s reasonable request, provide Buyer with contact information for such former Persons to the extent known by Seller and permitted by Applicable Law. If Buyer is unable to enforce its intellectual property rights against a third party as a result of any rule or law barring enforcement by a transferee, Seller shall, at Buyer’s expense, assign to Buyer such additional rights as may be necessary to permit enforcement. If such assignment is insufficient, Seller shall initiate proceedings against such third party in Seller’s name, provided that Buyer shall be entitled to participate in and direct the strategy of such proceedings, and Buyer shall bear the expenses thereof.

 

(c) No Retention of Copies. Promptly after the Closing (and in no event later than thirty (30) days thereafter), Seller shall deliver to Buyer or destroy (and certify in writing such destruction) all copies of IP Assets in Seller’s possession or control, whether in paper form, on electronic media, or stored in any other form, including all copies in cloud-based or remote storage systems; provided, however, that Seller may retain copies of: (i) financial books and records relating to the IP Assets, solely for the purposes of preparing its financial statements and statutory accounts; (ii) documents required by Applicable Law to be kept by Seller, solely as required to comply with Applicable Law or regulatory requirements; (iii) documents and materials relating to the IP Assets to the extent reasonably necessary to defend against any claim, action, suit, or proceeding (including any indemnification claim), provided that such copies shall be maintained on a confidential basis and shall not be used for any other purpose; and (iv) documents and materials reasonably necessary to respond to any regulatory inquiry, audit, or investigation by any Governmental Entity, provided that Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of any such inquiry, audit, or investigation to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

 

(d) Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.

 

(i) Non-Competition. For a period of eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, alone or in association with any other Person: (A) use, practice, or exploit any of the IP Assets or any Trade Secrets included therein, in each case that were transferred to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; or (B) develop, manufacture, market, distribute, license, sell, or otherwise commercialize any product, service, or technology that is substantially derived from the specific IP Assets transferred pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 9.02(d) shall prohibit Seller or any of its Affiliates from: (1) owning, as an investment, less than five percent (5%) of the outstanding equity interests of any publicly traded company; (2) engaging in any business or activity that does not use, practice, or exploit the IP Assets or Trade Secrets transferred hereunder; (3) developing, manufacturing, marketing, distributing, licensing, selling, or commercializing any product, service, or technology that is independently developed without use of the IP Assets or Trade Secrets transferred hereunder, even if such product, service, or technology operates in the same field or market as products or services that may utilize the IP Assets; (4) performing Seller’s obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; or (5) engaging in any business activities conducted by Seller or its Affiliates that do not utilize the IP Assets.

 

20

 

 

(ii) Non-Solicitation of Employees. During the Restricted Period, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly: (A) solicit, recruit, hire, or engage any Person who is, or was at any time during the twelve (12) months preceding such solicitation, an employee, consultant, contractor, or other service provider of Buyer or any of its Affiliates who has knowledge of, access to, or responsibilities relating to the IP Assets; or (B) induce, encourage, or attempt to induce or encourage any such Person to terminate his or her employment or engagement with Buyer or any of its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9.02(d)(ii) shall not prohibit: (1) general solicitations of employment not specifically directed at employees of Buyer or its Affiliates, including advertisements in newspapers, trade publications, job boards, or similar media; or (2) the hiring of any Person who responds to such general solicitations without any other action by Seller or its Affiliates that would otherwise violate this Section.

 

(iii) Non-Solicitation of Business Relationships. During the Restricted Period, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, divert, take away, or attempt to divert, or take away, any licensee, customer, supplier, vendor, or business partner of Buyer or any of its Affiliates with respect to any product, service, or technology that incorporates, utilizes, or is derived from the IP Assets.

 

(iv) Acknowledgments. Seller acknowledges and agrees that: (A) the covenants set forth in this Section 9.02(d) are reasonable and necessary to protect Buyer’s legitimate business interests in the IP Assets and the goodwill associated therewith; (B) the restrictions contained in this Section 9.02(d) are reasonable in scope, duration, and geographic area; (C) Seller has received adequate consideration for the covenants set forth in this Section 9.02(d), including the Purchase Price; and (D) Seller’s compliance with the covenants set forth in this Section 9.02(d) will not impose an undue hardship on Seller or prevent Seller from earning a livelihood.

 

(v) Remedies. Seller acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach of any of the covenants set forth in this Section 9.02(d) would cause irreparable harm to Buyer for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, Seller agrees that, in addition to any other remedies available to Buyer at law or in equity, Buyer shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, specific performance, or other equitable relief to enforce the provisions of this Section 9.02(d), without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond or other security. The Restricted Period shall be tolled during any period in which Seller is in breach of any of the covenants set forth in this Section 9.02(d).

 

(vi) Reformation. If any court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the covenants set forth in this Section 9.02(d) is unenforceable because of the duration, scope, or geographic area of such covenant, such court shall have the power to reduce the duration, scope, or geographic area of such covenant, as the case may be, and, in its reduced form, such covenant shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law. The Parties intend that the covenants set forth in this Section 9.02(d) be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law.

 

21

 

 

(e) Access to Information. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall give Buyer and its accountants, legal counsel, and other representatives full access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, to all books, records, files, documents, and other information relating exclusively to the IP Assets, and shall allow Buyer and its representatives to make copies thereof, subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in Section 9.04. Following the Closing, each Party shall provide the other Party (at the requesting Party’s expense) with such reasonable assistance, including the provision of available relevant records and reasonable access to and cooperation of personnel, as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation of any financial statement or tax return, any audit or examination by any taxing authority, or any judicial or administrative proceeding relating to liability for Taxes.

 

9.03 Certain Notifications. At all times prior to the Closing, each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of the occurrence of any event that will result, or has a reasonable prospect of resulting, in the failure to satisfy any of the conditions specified in Article VII or Article VIII of this Agreement.

 

9.04 Confidentiality.

 

(a) Obligations. Each Party (a “Receiving Party”) shall hold in strict confidence all non-public information disclosed by or on behalf of the other Party (a “Disclosing Party”) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (such information, together with all analyses, compilations, studies, or other documents or records prepared by the Receiving Party that contain or reflect such information, “Confidential Information”) and shall use such Confidential Information solely for the purpose of evaluating and consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Disclosure of Confidential Information shall be limited to those representatives of the Receiving Party with a need to know who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as those set forth herein.

 

(b) Exceptions. The obligations set forth in Section 9.04(a) shall not apply to information that: (i) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the Receiving Party; (ii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any confidentiality obligation; (iii) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of or reference to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; (iv) is rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation; or (v) is required to be disclosed by Applicable Law, regulation, or legal process, provided that the Receiving Party shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, provide the Disclosing Party with prompt written notice of such requirement and cooperate with the Disclosing Party in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy.

 

(c) Survival. The confidentiality obligations set forth in this Section 9.04 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement for a period of two (2) years; provided that the obligation to maintain the confidentiality of Trade Secrets shall survive indefinitely so long as such information constitutes a trade secret under Applicable Law.

 

22

 

 

Article X

10.01 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

 

(a) The representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Sections 5.01 (Organization), 5.02 (Authority), 5.03 (Execution and Binding Effect), 5.05 (Title to IP Assets), 5.18 (Fair Consideration), and 5.19 (Brokers and Finders) (collectively, the “Seller Fundamental Representations”) shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect indefinitely.

 

(b) The representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Section 5.06 (Chain of Title), Section 5.07 (Non-Infringement), Section 5.08 (No Conflicting Licenses), Section 5.10 (No Litigation), and Section 5.12 (Employee and Contractor IP Assignments) (collectively, the “Seller IP Representations”) shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect until the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date.

 

(c) All other representations and warranties of Seller shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect until the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date.

 

(d) The representations and warranties of Buyer shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect until the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date.

 

(e) All covenants and agreements of the Parties that by their terms are to be performed, in whole or in part, after the Closing shall survive the Closing in accordance with their terms..

 

(f) No claim for indemnification under this Article X may be asserted after the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in this Section 10.01; provided, however, that any claim for which written notice has been given in accordance with Section 10.04 prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period shall survive until final resolution thereof.

 

10.02 Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the Agreement’s limitations, from and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns (each, a “Buyer Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all Damages that any Buyer Indemnified Person incurs or suffers arising out of or relating to:

 

(a) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by Seller pursuant hereto;

 

(b) any breach or failure to perform any covenant, agreement, or obligation of Seller contained in this Agreement;

 

(c) any Excluded Asset or any liability of Seller not expressly assumed by Buyer;

 

23

 

 

(d) any non-frivolous claim by a third party that any IP Asset, or the use thereof, infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates any intellectual property right of such third party, to the extent based on facts or circumstances existing on or prior to the Closing Date; and

 

(e) any Taxes of Seller or attributable to the IP Assets for any period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date.

 

10.03 Indemnification by Buyer. From and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates, and their respective members, managers, officers, employees, agents, successors, and assigns (each, a “Seller Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all Damages that any Seller Indemnified Person incurs or suffers arising out of or relating to:

 

(a) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by Buyer pursuant hereto; and

 

(b) any breach or failure to perform any covenant, agreement, or obligation of Buyer contained in this Agreement.

 

10.04 Notice and Procedure.

 

(a) Notice. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly give written notice to the Party obligated to provide such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim, demand, action, or proceeding for which indemnification is sought (a “Claim Notice”), describing in reasonable detail the nature and basis of the claim, the amount of Damages (to the extent then ascertainable), and the specific provisions of this Agreement upon which the claim is based; provided, however, that the failure to provide timely notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure.

 

(b) Third-Party Claims. If a claim by a third party is made against any Indemnified Person and such Indemnified Person intends to seek indemnification therefor under this Article X:

 

(i) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to assume the defense of such third-party claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person upon delivery of written notice to the Indemnified Person within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Claim Notice; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense if (A) the claim seeks injunctive or equitable relief against the Indemnified Person, (B) the claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or quasi-criminal proceeding, or (C) the Indemnified Person has been advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Person.

 

(ii) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to participate in such defense at its own expense and with counsel of its own choosing.

 

24

 

 

(iii) The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to a third-party claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), unless such judgment or settlement (A) involves only the payment of money by the Indemnifying Party, (B) does not impose any injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Person, and (C) includes a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Person from all liability with respect to such claim.

 

(iv) If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a third-party claim within the time period specified above, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to defend such claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate, at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party.

 

10.05 Limitations on Indemnification.

 

(a) Basket. The Indemnifying Party shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnified Person for Damages under Section 10.02(a), any frivolous IP Asset infringement claim, or Section 10.03(a), as applicable, until the aggregate amount of all such Damages exceeds $50,000 (the “Basket”), at which point the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all Damages from the first dollar; provided, however, that the Basket shall not apply to breaches of the Seller Fundamental Representations.

 

(b) Cap. The aggregate liability of an Indemnifying Party for Damages under Section 10.02(a), (d) or Section 10.03(a), as applicable, shall not exceed the value of the Consideration Shares as of the Closing Date (the “Cap”); provided, however, that the Cap shall not apply to Damages arising from breaches of (i) the Seller Fundamental Representations (which shall be subject to a cap equal to the full value of the Consideration Shares), (ii) the Seller IP Representations (which shall be subject to a cap equal to the full value of the Consideration Shares), or (iii) fraud, willful misconduct, or intentional misrepresentation by such Indemnifying Party.

 

(c) No Limitation for Certain Claims. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.05, the Basket and Cap shall not apply to Damages arising from (i) fraud, willful misconduct, or intentional misrepresentation by the Indemnifying Party, (ii) breaches of Section 10.02(c) (Excluded Assets), or (iii) breaches of Section 10.02(e) (Taxes).

 

(d) Mitigation. Each Indemnified Person shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Damages for which it seeks indemnification under this Article X.

 

(e) Insurance and Other Recoveries. The amount of any Damages subject to indemnification under this Article X shall be reduced by any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Person under any insurance policy with respect to such Damages, net of the costs of collection (including increased premiums).

 

(f) Exclusive Remedy. Except in the case of fraud, the indemnification provisions of this Article X shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10.05(f) shall limit either Party’s right to seek equitable relief, including specific performance or injunctive relief, pursuant to Section 12.12.

 

25

 

 

10.06 Recourse Against Consideration Shares.

 

(a) Right of Recourse. In the event that any Buyer Indemnified Person becomes entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article X, Buyer (but in no event for more than 180 days from the Closing Date) shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to satisfy any such indemnification obligation, in whole or in part, by canceling a number of Consideration Shares then held by Seller equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the amount of Damages to be satisfied by (ii) the Share Value (as defined in Section 10.06(b)) (such shares, rounded up to the nearest whole share, the “Recourse Shares”). Upon delivery by Buyer of written notice to Seller specifying the number of Recourse Shares to be canceled or returned (a “Recourse Notice”), Seller shall promptly (and in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such Recourse Notice) surrender such Recourse Shares to Buyer or Buyer’s transfer agent for cancellation. If Seller fails to surrender such Recourse Shares within such ten (10) Business Day period, Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Buyer and any officer or agent of Buyer, with full power of substitution, as Seller’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Seller and in the name of Seller or in Buyer’s own name, for the purpose of carrying out and effectuating the transfer, assignment, and cancellation of such Recourse Shares, including executing and delivering any and all instruments of transfer, stock powers, and other documents necessary or appropriate to transfer such Recourse Shares to Buyer or to instruct Buyer’s transfer agent to cancel such Recourse Shares on Buyer’s books and records, in each case without further action by Seller.

 

(b) Share Value; VWAP. For purposes of determining the number of Consideration Shares to be recovered or canceled in satisfaction of any indemnification claim under this Section 10.06, each Consideration Share shall be valued at the twenty (20)-trading-day volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Class A Common Stock on the principal national securities exchange or over-the-counter market on which such shares are then listed or quoted, calculated over the twenty (20) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of settlement of the applicable indemnification claim (the “Share Value”). If the Class A Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on an over-the-counter market at the time of determination, the Share Value shall be determined by an independent appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Parties (or, failing such agreement within ten (10) Business Days, appointed by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its rules), and the costs of such appraisal shall be borne equally by the Parties.

 

Article XI
TERMINATION

 

11.01 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

 

(a) by mutual written consent of Buyer and Seller;

 

(b) by Buyer, if any of the conditions set forth in Article VII shall have become incapable of fulfillment on or prior to the Outside Date and shall not have been waived by Buyer;

 

26

 

 

(c) by Seller, if any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII shall have become incapable of fulfillment on or prior to the Outside Date and shall not have been waived by Seller;

 

(d) by either Party, if any Governmental Entity shall have issued an order, decree, ruling, or injunction (which order, decree, ruling, or injunction the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to have lifted) restraining, enjoining, or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such order shall have become final and nonappealable;

 

(e) by either Party, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to the Outside Date; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.01(e) shall not be available to any Party whose failure to comply with any provision of this Agreement has been a principal cause of the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Outside Date;

 

(f) by Buyer, if there shall have been a material breach by Seller of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement contained in this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any condition set forth in Article VII, and such breach shall not have been cured within fifteen (15) Business Days after written notice thereof from Buyer to Seller (or such breach is incapable of cure); or

 

(g) by Buyer, if Seller or any of its Affiliates goes into liquidation, has an application or order made for its winding up or dissolution, becomes unable to pay its debts as and when they fall due, or has a receiver, administrator, liquidator, or similar official appointed to it or any of its assets.

 

11.02 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.01, this Agreement shall become void and of no further force and effect, and there shall be no liability on the part of any Party (or their respective officers, directors, members, managers, employees, agents, or Affiliates), except that (a) Section 9.04 (Confidentiality), Section 12.08 (Expenses), Section 12.02 (Governing Law), Section 12.03 (Dispute Resolution), and this Section 11.02 shall survive any such termination, and (b) nothing herein shall relieve any Party from liability for any willful breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.

 

Article XII
MISCELLANEOUS

 

12.01 Amendments and Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified, or supplemented except by a written instrument signed by both Parties. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the Party granting such waiver. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege.

 

12.02 Governing Law. This Agreement and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the Parties hereto shall be governed by, construed, and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision or rule (whether of the State of Florida or any other jurisdiction).

 

27

 

 

12.03 Dispute Resolution; Jurisdiction; Jury Waiver.

 

(a) Exclusive Jurisdiction. Each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Broward County, Florida, for the purposes of any action, suit, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and each Party irrevocably waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue in any such court, and any claim that any such action, suit, or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

 

(b) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

(c) Service of Process. Service of process may be made in any manner permitted by the laws of the State of Florida.

 

12.04 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither Party may assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that either Party may, without the consent of the other Party assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder to (a) any Affiliate of Buyer, or (b) any successor to all or substantially all of Buyer’s assets or business, in each case provided that such assignment shall not relieve such Party of its obligations hereunder.

 

12.05 Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except that the Indemnified Persons are intended third-party beneficiaries of Article X.

 

12.06 Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given: (a) when delivered by hand or by nationally recognized overnight courier service (with written confirmation of receipt); (b) when sent by email (with confirmation of transmission), if sent during the addressee’s normal business hours, and on the next Business Day if sent after the addressee’s normal business hours; or (c) on the third (3rd) Business Day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.

RMX Industries, Inc. Progresses Toward Launch of Next-Gen Visual Intelligence Solution

 

Dallas, TX — May 12, 2026 — RMX Industries, Inc. (“RMX” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: RMXI), a technology company redefining how visual data moves and performs across constrained networks, today announced an important step toward the upcoming launch of its new AI-powered product, the next stage in the Company’s evolution from high-performance compression to intelligent, real-time visual decision-making.

 

RMX believes it has established its credentials in defense and security, delivering field-proven solutions in advanced video compression and real-time data optimization where bandwidth is scarce and margins for error do not exist. Now the Company is advancing beyond this foundation and pushing it forward by building a product that doesn’t just move visual data faster, but makes it smarter, helping organizations capture, understand, and act on what they’re seeing in real time, even when connectivity is limited.

 

As part of this push, RMX has entered into an agreement to acquire AI-centered intellectual property from Apollo Group Enterprises, a purpose-built tech stack for high-performance video and real-time analytics, developed by a team with deep expertise in AI and advanced software systems. We believe that this new IP asset will strengthen RMX’s AI capabilities, shorten the path to market, and add meaningful depth to the product’s technical foundation.

 

RMX is responding to direct customer demand for an advanced AI-powered visual intelligence solution that scales, performs under pressure, and works across defense, security, and commercial environments without compromise.

 

About RMX: RMX Industries, Inc. (OTCQB: RMXI) is a technology company delivering advanced data compression and video optimization solutions that secures the data continuum from beyond the edge to operational cores. Through proprietary, field-validated technology originally developed for defense and security applications, RMX aims to transform how organizations capture, transmit, store, and deliver visual data across environments with any bandwidth while specializing in the most constrained networks where traditional solutions fail. RMX’s solutions are designed to operate seamlessly across any infrastructure, from tactical radios and narrowband satellite links to high-bandwidth enterprise cloud systems, ensuring critical visual intelligence reaches those who need it most, when they need it most, regardless of whether connectivity is abundant, limited, degraded, or contested.
