Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
Share Purchase Agreement with respect to the acquisition of all the shares in the capital of Quaze Technologies, Inc.
On May 19, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), a U.S.-based provider of advanced all-domain drone and robotic solutions for defense and national security, completed its acquisition of Quaze Technologies Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of Quebec (“Quaze”), pursuant to the previously announced Share Purchase Agreement with 9563-4747 Quebec Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of Quebec and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the equity holders of Quaze and the Vendors’ Representative (the “Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Quaze (the “Acquisition”).
Acquisition Consideration
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company delivered closing consideration consisting of 1,923,308 shares (the “Closing Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), which represents approximately $21 million of Closing Shares based on the twenty (20) day volume-weighted price of the Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market as of May 18, 2026. The closing consideration includes amounts payable to certain directors, officers and employees of Quaze, including officers and employees who are expected to continue to provide services to Quaze after the Acquisition.
Earnout Consideration
As additional consideration for Quaze equity holders, the Purchase Agreement provides for the Company to pay earnout consideration of up to an additional $5,000,000 in shares of Common Stock upon the achievement of certain integration, revenue and gross margin thresholds.
The foregoing summary of the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, the Purchaser or Quaze, or to modify or supplement any factual disclosures about the Company in its public reports filed with the SEC.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Securities
The information reported in Item 2.01 is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.
The Company delivered the Closing Shares as closing consideration for the Acquisition on the Closing Date. The issuance of the Closing Shares was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) or any state securities laws, and the Closing Shares may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Closing Shares were issued in a private transaction in reliance upon exemptions from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder to persons reasonably believed to be “accredited investors” as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act, or pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act to non-U.S. persons outside the United States.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company may issue additional shares of Common Stock upon the achievement of certain integration, revenue and gross margin thresholds. Any such additional issuances of Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement are also expected to be issued in reliance upon exemptions from registration under the Securities Act.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
