Software Asset Transfer Agreement
On February 1, 2026, iPower Inc, a Nevada corporation (“iPower” or the “Company”), entered into a software asset transfer agreement (the “Software Asset Transfer Agreement”) with its then-wholly owned subsidiary, Global Product Marketing, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“GPM”), pursuant to which GPM assigned, transferred and conveyed to iPower all of GPM’s right, title and interest in its Software Assets (as defined in the agreement), and iPower assumed all outstanding vendor payables related to the Software Assets. In addition, the Software Asset Transfer Agreement granted GPM a non-exclusive worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable and royalty free license to use, reproduce and modify the licensed software, thus allowing iPower and GPM to collaborate in the software development on a going forward basis. Further, in the event GPM resells the Original Software code (as defined in the agreement), GPM shall pay iPower 50% of the proceeds received in relation to such sale.
Thereafter, on February 1, 2026, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with ETTS AI Investment LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“ETTS AI”), pursuant to which the Company sold its equity interest in GPM and its underlying entities to ETTS AI in exchange for a $2.3 million promissory note (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note is repayable in full in seven years, may be prepaid at any time, and repayment may be credited from time to time by purchase orders (as described below) made under a supply and distribution agreement, dated February 1, 2026 (the “Supply and Distribution Agreement”), between the Company, GPM and ETTS AI.
Under the Supply and Distribution Agreement, the Company and GPM agreed that the Company will act as exclusive supplier in the United States, Canada and Mexico for all existing SKUs that have historically been distributed from iPower to GPM, thus allowing iPower to continue in its role of supplier to GPM while divesting of the cost center associated with GPM’s sales function. As distributor, iPower will charge GPM, as supplier, a price mutually agreed on for each product and has the right to add up to 15% margin on top of the net cost. In addition, GPM will charge iPower a cooperative marketing fee, which will be defined in a subsequent agreement between the parties. Under the Supply and Distribution Agreement, payment on all purchaser orders are due within seven days of GPM’s receipt of payment from its customers and amounts identified as “Margin” (i.e., iPower’s cost x margin on the SKUs purchased by GPM) may be applied on a dollar-for-dollar as a credit/offset against the outstanding amounts owed under the Promissory Note. The Supply and Distribution Agreement has a term of five years and automatically renews thereafter for subsequent two year terms, unless 90 days’ notice is provided prior to the expiration of such term. In addition, the Supply and Distribution Agreement contains standard limitation on liability, indemnification and other provisions standard for an agreement of this nature.
The foregoing summary of the Software Asset Transfer Agreement, the SPA, the Promissory Note and the Supply and Distribution Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to each such agreement, the forms of which are filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
