Item 1.01 Entry into a Material DefinitiveAgreement.
On October 21, 2025 (the “Issue Date”), XTI Aerospace, Inc. (the “Company”) made a $2 million strategic investment in Valkyrie Sciences Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Valkyrie”), through the purchase of a convertible promissory note (the “Note”) with an initial principal amount of $2 million issued by Valkyrie. Valkyrie and its affiliate Valkyrie Andromeda Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Andromeda” and, together with Valkyrie, the “Borrower”) are jointly and severally liable under the Note.
Principal, Interest andMaturity; No Prepayment Without the Company’s Consent. The outstanding principal amount, together with any accrued but unpaid interest (the “Remaining Balance”) is due and payable on December 31, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”). Interest accrues on the outstanding principal amount at the lesser of 10% per annum or the maximum rate permissible by law, and is payable on the Maturity Date. After a Qualified Financing (as defined below) and if the Company does not elect to convert the Note, the Company may, prior to the Maturity Date, elect to require the Borrower to pay the Remaining Balance of the Note within 60 days after the delivery of the election notice to Valkyrie. Valkyrie may not prepay the Note prior to the Maturity Date without the Company’s written consent.
Conversion in ConnectionWith a Qualified Financing. If either Valkyrie or Andromeda (the “Issuer”) issues equity after the Issue Date but on or before repayment of the Note in an arms-length equity financing (a “Qualified Financing”), then the Company may elect to convert some or all of the Remaining Balance into the equity issued in such Qualified Financing at a conversion price equal to the price per unit (or price per percent of ownership stake) paid by the investors in such Qualified Financing.
Repayment or ConversionUpon Sale. If Valkyrie or any Subsidiary (as defined in the Note) consummates (i) a consolidation, merger or other reorganization of either Borrower, other than in which the principal owner of Valkyrie immediately prior to such transaction continues to hold a controlling share of the voting power of the surviving entity immediately afterward or (ii) any transaction or series of related transactions resulting in the transfer of more than 50% of Valkyrie’s voting power (each, a “Sale”), prior to either a conversion under the Note or repayment in full of the Note, then, at the closing of such Sale, the Company may elect to either (i) receive payment of the Remaining Balance under the Note, or (ii) convert into units of equity of the applicable Issuer at a price per unit of equity equal to the Valuation of the Issuer at Sale (as defined below) divided by the fully-diluted units of equity. The “Valuation of the Issuer at Sale” means the lesser of (i) the equity value of the Issuer immediately prior to the conversion or Sale, (ii) the lowest valuation cap applied to any outstanding units of equity of the Issuer (or the rights thereto) or (iii) $65 million (the “Valuation Cap”).
Conversion in ConnectionWith Andromeda SAFE Closing. At any time prior to the earlier of (i) December 31, 2026 or (ii) the fourteenth day following the Company’s receipt from Valkyrie of written notice that Andromeda has closed its current offering of Simple Agreements for Future Equity (the “Andromeda SAFE”) and until the date on which the SAFE is settled by conversion or payment, the Company may convert 25% or more of the then Remaining Balance into an Andromeda SAFE with an investment amount equal to that portion of the Remaining Balance as designated by the Company up to the remaining available investment amount under the Andromeda SAFE offering, provided, that Valkyrie may, in its reasonable discretion, cap such right at 25% of the then Remaining Balance to limit adverse tax consequences resulting from the contemplated restructuring of Valkyrie and its affiliates (after using reasonable efforts to provide an accommodating investment opportunity to the Company).
Default Events. The Note includes customary events of default, including the Borrower’s failure to perform of any covenant under the Note if such default remains uncured for 15 days after written notice from the Company (provided that the cure period does not apply to payment defaults). Upon an event of default, the entire Remaining Balance together with any and all other amounts owing by the Borrower or any Subsidiary will become immediately due and payable and bears interest from the date of default at 18% per annum (or the maximum rate permissible by law).
Most Favored Nations. If, after the Issue Date and prior to repayment or conversion, the Borrower issues any convertible promissory note or SAFE convertible into equity of the Borrower containing terms more favorable to its holders than the corresponding terms of the Note, the Borrower must notify the Company, and the Company may elect to have the Note automatically amended to include such more favorable terms.
1
Right of First Offer. From the Issue Date until the earliest of the first Qualified Financing of at least $10 million, a Sale or the Maturity Date (the “ROFO Period”), prior to any offering by either Borrower of any debt or equity (“New Securities”) to a third party, the Borrower must first offer the Company the right to purchase up to the lesser of 50% of such New Securities or $10 million of such New Securities (the “ROFO Amount”). Any unused or unexercised portion of the ROFO Amount for any particular offering of New Securities will remain available for the Company to use in subsequent offerings of New Securities during the ROFO Period unless and until the Company purchases up to $10 million in the aggregate of New Securities.
Right of Participation. From the Issue Date until the Maturity Date, the Company has the right to participate in any one or more offerings of New Securities in an aggregate amount up to and including $50 million (excluding any amounts purchased under the right of first offer), on the same terms as other investors, subject to a cap of 30% of any single offering.
Subsequent Pro Rata Right. Following the ROFO Period, if the Company holds equity issued upon a conversion under the Note, it has the right to purchase its pro rata share of any subsequent offering of any debt or equity securities to a third party.
Additional Indebtedness;Subordination. The Borrower may not enter into any agreement that subordinates the Note to other present or future indebtedness without the Company’s written approval.
Use of Proceeds. The Borrower must use the proceeds of the Note solely for its business operations.
Additional Covenants; Representationsand Warranties. Until all of the Borrower’s obligations under the Note are either paid or performed in full or converted, the Borrower may not without the prior written consent of the Company: (a) fundamentally change the general nature of its current business, (b) incur any debt (including guaranteeing any obligation) other than the obligations incurred under the Note, payroll obligations and trade payables or accrued expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business, or (c) issue or agree to issue equity in violation of the Note’s most favored nation, right of first offer, right of participation and pro rata right provisions, at a valuation of less than the Valuation Cap, or on terms equal to or more favorable than those applicable to the Company. The Note also contains customary representations and warranties by the Borrower and the Company.

XTI Aerospace and Valkyrie AI Announce VanguardPlatform Advancing TriFan 600 Next-Generation VTOL Aircraft for Commercial and Defense Applications
AI, advanced materials and mesh intelligencefor aerospace
Englewood, Colorado, Dallas, Texas and Austin,Texas – October 27, 2025 – XTI Aerospace, Inc. (“XTI” or the “Company”) [NASDAQ: XTI], advancing scalable vertical flight technologies, and Valkyrie Sciences (“Valkyrie”), a leader in enterprise solutions by the integration of artificial intelligence and advanced materials, announced the Vanguard Platform, an intelligent technology system for the next generation of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft. The Vanguard Platform will apply Valkyrie’s experience with graphene and composite materials, battery technology, and smart systems architecture to XTI’s Tri Fan 600 program.
The alliance between XTI and Valkyrie includes a strategic investment by XTI in Valkyrie as well as a services agreement between XTI and Valkyrie Intelligence. The collaboration expands upon Valkyrie Founder Charlie Burgoyne’s service on XTI’s Corporate Advisory Board, announced in July 2025. Mr. Burgoyne has served as the applied sciences advisor to several military and intelligence commands, where he contributed his expertise to decisions of national importance. His extensive experience deploying real-world application of AI comes from his leadership roles in government, industry and academia. Notable contributions include his work at LANL, DOE, DARPA, NASA, CENTCOM, SOCOM, and other various organizations. Valkyrie has earned industry recognition from a leading global automotive manufacturer for its mesh network design. Valkyrie’s experience in mesh intelligence, development of digital-twin systems for Fortune 100 companies and supporting racing operations provides a foundation of capabilities for leveraging the Vanguard Platform to advance capabilities of the XTI TriFan 600 aircraft.
“This alliance supports our technology-first objectives at the leading edge of emerging aerospace technologies,” said Scott Pomeroy, CEO of XTI Aerospace. “Applied AI will be one of the most significant differentiators in this next era of aerospace and defense. Valkyrie’s expertise will assist us in accelerating opportunities across our portfolio, from vertical flight to unmanned systems and beyond; we believe this is a first-of-its-kind approach.”
“The Vanguard Platform, combining Valkyrie’s applied AI technology for aerospace and XTI’s VTOL engineering, is designed to streamline aircraft development,” added Charlie Burgoyne, CEO of Valkyrie. “Central to this vision is Valkyrie’s work to develop the Vanguard chassis, which integrates Valkyrie’s distributed mesh intelligence—a networked, onboard computing framework intended to enable real-time coordination across aircraft systems. Production methods and engineering processes will emphasize lean, data-driven development across both teams and opportunities for integrating intelligent systems directly into aerospace hardware. We could not be more enthusiastic about our shared vision with Scott and the team at XTI.”
For more information regarding XTI’s $2 million strategic investment, please see the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
