On February 5, 2026, Alset Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a term sheet (the “Term Sheet”), with HWH International Inc., a Nevada company (“HWH”). The Company, directly and through subsidiaries, owns a majority of HWH’s common stock. Pursuant to the Term Sheet, the Company agreed sell to HWH 505,341,376 issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Shares”), of Hapi Metaverse Inc. (“Hapi Metaverse”), a Delaware corporation, representing 99.55% of Hapi Metaverse’s outstanding capital.
Pursuant to the Term Sheet, the Company agreed to sell the Shares through a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) for a sale price of $19,910,603.00 in the form of a promissory note convertible into newly issued shares of HWH’s common stock (the “Convertible Note”). The Convertible Note bore a simple interest rate of 1% per annum. Under the terms of the Convertible Note, the Company could convert any outstanding principal and interest into shares of HWH’s common stock at $1.85 per share upon ten (10) days’ notice prior to maturity of the Convertible Note five (5) years from the date of the Term Sheet, and upon maturity of the Convertible Note any outstanding principal and accrued interest accrued thereunder would automatically be converted into shares of HWH”s common stock at the conversion rate. On February 5, 2026, the Company entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement with HWH.
The Company and its subsidiary HWH have now agreed to terminate the purchase and sale of the Hapi Metaverse Shares, and the agreements contemplating the same, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a Termination Agreement dated May 6, 2026. The management of the Company and HWH have determined that terminating the sale and purchase of the Hapi Metaverse Shares is in the best interests of both parties.
Under the terms of the Termination Agreement, neither HWH nor the Company has any further rights or obligations pursuant to the Term Sheet, the Stock Purchase Agreement, or the Convertible Note. Neither the Company nor HWH paid any penalties or fees in connection with the termination.
