AI is perfect for military applications because it can solve computational complexity. It can easily run an algorithm during times of tremendous pressure and stress. Also, it can decide at a much faster speed; Niron Magnetics has introduced Iron Nitride as the first new permanent magnet in four decades. This innovative material is completely free of rare earth elements, making it both sustainable and recyclable, with significant implications for industries relying on magnets, projected to grow from a $45 billion market today to $180 billion by 2035; Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) have become an integral part of modern military operations. They are also known as drones. Skydweller Aero invented a solar-powered aircraft, capable of providing persistent intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) without the need for batteries, combining efficiency with significant operational range; Sandbox AQ is discussing the potential of quantum sensing technologies to enhance mission perception and operational advantage. Quantum communication plays a key role in the security of space-based communication systems, making it a necessary technology for maintaining space safety. Quantum technology is one of many critical tech areas supported by the Space Enterprise Consortium (SpEC) OTA."

VisionWave (NASDAQ: VWAV) Enters into Strategic Joint Venture Agreement with AIPHEX LTD, GBT Tokenize Corp., and GBT Technologies, Inc. - VisionWave Holdings Inc. ($VWAV), ("VisionWave" or the "Company") issued an 8-K that on August 25, 2025 the Company has entered into a Strategic Joint Venture Agreement (the "Agreement") with AIPHEX LTD ("AIPHEX"), GBT Tokenize Corp. ("TOKENIZE"), and GBT Technologies, Inc. ("GBT"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the parties agreed to form a joint venture limited liability company in the State of Nevada (the "JV LLC") for the purpose of collaborating on certain designated defense and technology projects (the "Designated Projects and Background IP"). The Designated Projects and Background IP are set forth in a separate confidential letter agreement between the Company and AIPHEX due to their sensitive and confidential nature.

These ownership percentages are based on an estimated internal value of $5,000,000,000 for equity allocation purposes, with the parties waiving the need for formal valuation solely for this allocation and shall not be constructed as a valuation of AIPHEX or its assets for any other purpose. TOKENIZE will contribute to the JV 897,102 shares of the Company's common stock and its intellectual property portfolio (as detailed in Exhibit A to the Agreement). GBT will contribute to the JV 2,020,500 shares of the Company's common stock. AIPHEX will contribute the Designated Projects and Background IP. The Company and AIPHEX will each enter into non-exclusive license agreements granting the JV LLC rights to use certain of their respective intellectual property portfolios and products solely for the Designated Projects and Background IP (the "JV License Agreements"). The JV LLC will serve as the exclusive vehicle for marketing, manufacturing, delivering, and managing the Designated Projects, including research, development, commercialization, and related activities. The parties will adopt an operating agreement for the JV LLC within 30 days of the effective date. The Agreement includes provisions for board appointments, including the reciprocal right for the Company and AIPHEX to appoint one individual to each other's board of directors (subject to approvals), with initial advisory board appointments for Dr. Moshik Cohen (to the Company's advisory board) and Noam Kenig (to AIPHEX's advisory board).

Upon approval, Dr. Moshik Cohen will be appointed to the Company's board of directors and granted options to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock under the Company's equity incentive plan. Intellectual property developed by the JV LLC will be owned by the JV LLC, with restrictions on use and transfer. Both AIPHEX and the Company contribute the Designated Projects (DP) to the JV and each will enter into the JV License Agreements. The Agreement includes non-circumvention provisions, confidentiality obligations, and termination rights, including a provision that the Agreement becomes void and considerations returned if no revenue is generated from the Designated Projects within 12 months of establishing the JV LLC. The term of the Agreement is seven years, subject to renewal. The Agreement also provides for a referral fee to a non-affiliated third-party, consisting of 700,000 shares of the Company's common stock (to be assigned from shares contributed to the JV LLC and which will not be issued by the Company in any manner) and 2% of future JV LLC revenue based on actual collections.

The transactions contemplated by the Agreement are subject to customary closing conditions, including obtaining necessary regulatory approvals (such as CFIUS clearance, export control licenses, and other governmental consents). The parties intend to consummate the contributions and operationalize the JV LLC upon execution of the operating agreement and satisfaction of such conditions.
