On October 1, 2025, the Company completed its previously announced business combination pursuant to the Merger and Contribution and Share Exchange Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) dated as of August 19, 2024 by and among (i) the Company, (ii) Black Titan Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“Black Titan” or “PubCo”), (iii) TTNP Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Black Titan (“Merger Sub”), and (iv) TalenTec Sdn.
