NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER
30, 2025
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE
1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Aspire
Biopharma Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “Aspire”) was incorporated as PowerUp Acquisition Corp., a Cayman
Islands exempted company, on February 9, 2021. On February 17, 2025, the Company completed the Reverse Acquisition described below and
changed its name to Aspire Biopharma Holdings, Inc. Aspire is an early-stage biopharmaceutical company which engages in the business
of developing and marketing disruptive technology for novel sublingual delivery mechanisms initially for known drugs and supplements,
such as aspirin and caffeine products.
On
August 26, 2024, the Company (known as PowerUp Acquisition Corp. at that time) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended,
the “Aspire Merger Agreement”) with PowerUp Merger Sub II, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company (“Merger Sub”), SRIRAMA Associates, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), Stephen
Quesenberry, in the capacity as the seller representative, and Aspire Biopharma, Inc., a Puerto Rico corporation (“Aspire Biopharma,
Inc.”).
On
February 17, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the reverse acquisition transaction (the “Reverse Acquisition”)
pursuant to the terms of the Aspire Merger Agreement In connection with the consummation of the Reverse Acquisition, the Company changed
its name from PowerUp Acquisition Corp. to “Aspire Biopharma Holdings, Inc.” ( See Note 4 - Recapitalization )
On
May 5, 2025, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Buzz Bomb Caffeine Co. LC.
NOTE
2. LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN
The
Company’s primary sources of liquidity have been cash from financing activities. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $ 22,550,347
as of September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, working capital deficit was $ 11,457,377 and cash was $ 1,948,271 .
The
Company received proceeds of approximately $ 265,827 as a result of the Reverse Acquisition in February 2025, after giving effect to stockholder
redemptions and payment of transaction expenses in connection with the Reverse Acquisition. The Company received an additional $ 3,000,000
pursuant to the convertible note agreements issued under the Securities Purchase Agreement entered into on February 17, 2025. The Company’s
future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the timing and extent of spending to support further sales and marketing
and research and development efforts. In order to finance these opportunities, the Company will need to raise additional financing. While
there can be no assurances, the Company intends to raise such capital through issuances of additional equity. If additional financing
is required from outside sources, the Company may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. If the Company
is unable to raise additional capital when desired, the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition would
be materially and adversely affected.
As
a result of the above, in connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial
Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 205-40, “Going Concern,”
management has determined that the Company’s liquidity condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern through twelve months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are available to be
issued. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets
or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions
to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information
or footnote disclosures normally included in unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP
have been condensed consolidated or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly,
they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations,
or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments,
consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and
cash flows for the periods presented.
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on April 7, 2025. The interim results for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025, or
for any future period.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Emerging
Growth Company
The
Company is an emerging growth company as defined in Section 102 (b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS
Act”), which exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards
until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a
class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards.
The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements
that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out
of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised, and it has different application dates for
public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies
adopt the new or revised standard.
This
may make the comparison of the Company’s consolidated financial statements with another public company difficult or impossible
because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
8
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the consolidated financial statements. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. Such estimates
may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly
from those significant estimates. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set
of circumstances that existed at the date of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate,
could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Significant accounting estimates included in these financial
statements are the determination of the fair value of the subscription agreements and convertible notes. Such estimates may be subject
to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Segment
Information
ASC
280, “Segment Reporting” (“ASC 280”), defines operating segments as components of an enterprise where discrete
financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) in deciding
how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer, who has ultimate responsibility
for the operating performance of the Company and the allocation of resources. The CODM reviews the assets, operating results, and financial
metrics for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management
has determined that there is only one reportable segment. The CODM assesses performance for the single reportable segment and decides
how to allocate resources based on operating expenses that also is reported on the statements of operations as net income. The measure
of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions
regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews several key metrics included in operating expenses and cash.
Operating
expenses, inclusive of general and administrative costs, research and development costs and sales and marketing costs, are reviewed and
monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to fund operations. The CODM also reviews operating
expenses to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements. The categories of
operating expenses, as reported on the statements of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular
basis.
Concentration
of credit risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution
which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) coverage limit of $ 250,000 . Any loss incurred
or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations,
and cash flows. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $ 1,678,669 and $ 0 , respectively in deposits in U.S banks
in excess of the FDIC limit. Deposits are maintained with high-quality financial institutions that management believes are creditworthy.
Business
Combinations
The
Company evaluates whether acquired net assets should be accounted for as a business combination or an asset acquisition by first applying
a screen test to determine whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable
asset or group of similar identifiable assets. If so, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If not, the Company applies
its judgement to determine whether the acquired net assets meets the definition of a business by considering if the set includes an acquired
input, process, and the ability to create outputs.
The
Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when it has obtained control. The Company measures goodwill as
the fair value of the consideration transferred including the fair value of any non-controlling interest recognized, less the net recognized
amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, all measured at their fair value as of the acquisition date. Transaction
costs, other than those associated with the issuance of debt or equity securities, that the Company incurs in connection with a business
combination are expensed as incurred.
9
Any
contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. For contingent consideration that does not meet all the criteria
for equity classification, such contingent consideration is required to be recorded at its initial fair value at the acquisition date,
and on each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of liability-classified contingent consideration are recognized
on the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the period of change.
When
the initial accounting for a business combination has not been finalized by the end of the reporting period in which the transaction
occurs, the Company reports provisional amounts. Provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period, which does not exceed
one year from the acquisition date. These adjustments, or recognition of additional assets or liabilities, reflect new information obtained
about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized at that
date.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
The Company did no t have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
Fair
value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The authoritative guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used
in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the
most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect
the Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based upon
the best information available in the circumstances. The categorization of financial assets and liabilities within the valuation hierarchy
is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels:
● Level
1: Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
● Level
2: Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted
prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and
inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly or indirectly.
● Level
3: Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability.
The
carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, such as accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their
relatively short maturities. The fair value of debt instruments for which the Company has not elected the fair value option of accounting
is based on the present value of expected future cash flows and assumptions about the then-current market interest rates as of the reporting
period and the creditworthiness of the Company. All of the Company’s debt is carried on the condensed consolidated balance sheet
on a historical cost basis net of unamortized discounts and premiums because the Company has not elected the fair value option of accounting.
Inventories
Inventories
consisting of finished goods are stated at the lower of cost or market value with cost determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method
of accounting for inventory. Inventories on hand are evaluated on an on-going basis to determine if any items are obsolete, spoiled,
or in excess of future demand. The Company provides impairment that is charged directly to cost of sales when it is has been determined
the product is obsolete, spoiled, and the Company will not be able to sell it at a normal profit above its carrying cost. There were
no impairment charges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Research
and Development Cost
The
Company accounts for research and development cost (“R&D”) in accordance with ASC Topic 730, “Research and Development”.
R&D represents costs are expensed as incurred.
Revenue
recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts . The core principle of the guidance in Topic
606 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects
the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve the core principle,
the Company applied the following five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment:
(1)
Identify the contracts or agreements with a customer: The Company sells pharmaceutical products directly to customers from its website.
The Company’s revenue is derived from the customer orders evidenced by invoices issued. Orders placed by customers constitute the
Company’s contracts with customers.
(2)
Identifying the performance obligations in the contract or agreement: The contract with the customer contains a single performance obligation:
fulfillment of the customer’s order.
(3)
Determine the transaction price: The Company’s sales arrangements for pharmaceutical products require a full prepayment from the
customer at a fixed price per unit based on the terms of the invoice with the customer and before the shipment of products. The transaction
price is the amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive.
(4)
Allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations: All transaction prices are allocated to the single performance
obligation.
(5)
Recognize revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied: This performance obligation is satisfied when control of the product is
transferred to the customer, which generally occurs upon shipment. The Company receives orders for products to be delivered over multiple
dates that may extend across reporting periods. The Company’s accounting policy treats shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment
cost. The Company invoices for each order upon payment and recognizes revenue at the fixed price for each distinct product delivered
when transfer of control has occurred, which is generally upon shipment.
The
Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled
to in exchange for the services it transfers to its clients.
Cost
of Goods Sold
The
Company’s cost of revenue is comprised of costs related to its commercial revenue, including manufacturing costs and indirect costs
associated with the manufacturing and distribution of its products. The Company also may include certain period costs related to manufacturing
services and inventory adjustments in cost of revenue.
11
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition
of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the consolidated financial statement and tax
basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC
740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax
assets will not be realized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company assesses the likelihood that deferred
tax assets will be recovered through tax planning strategies or from future taxable income, and to the extent that recovery is not likely
or there is insufficient earnings history, a valuation allowance is established. The Company’s ability to utilize net operating
losses (“NOL”) carryforwards to offset future taxable income would be limited if the Company had undergone or were to undergo
an “ownership change” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “IRC”). The Company
adjusts the valuation allowance in the period management determines it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will or will
not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances from period to period are included in the tax provision in the period of change. As
of September 30, 2025, the Company provided a valuation allowance for all net deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not that
the assets will not be recovered based on an insufficient history of earnings. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025,
there were no provision for income taxes
ASC
740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s consolidated financial statements
and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for consolidated financial statement recognition and measurement of a
tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than
not to be sustained based on its technical merits and upon examination by taxing authorities. If a tax benefit meets this criterion,
it is measured and recognized based on the largest amount of benefit that is cumulatively greater than 50% likely to be realized. There
were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The
Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from
its position.
The
Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. The Company did no t recognize
interest or penalties on its consolidated statements of operations during the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2025. The
Company does not anticipate unrecognized tax benefits will be recorded during the next 12 months.
Net
Loss per share
Basic
net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average shares outstanding at the end of the period.
Diluted loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of common stock to the extent dilutive. For the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s diluted weighted-average shares outstanding is equal to basic weighted-average
shares, due to the Company’s net loss position. No common stock equivalents were included in the computation of diluted net loss
per unit since such inclusion would have been antidilutive. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, potentially dilutive securities
include the public and private placement warrants and the convertible promissory notes.
Share-Based
Compensation
The
Company accounts for share-based compensation arrangements granted to employees and vendors in accordance with ASC 718 by measuring the
grant date fair value of the award and recognizing the resulting expense over the period during which the employee is required to perform
service in exchange for the award. Equity-based compensation expense is only recognized for awards subject to performance conditions
if it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur.
12
Warrants
The
Company reviews the terms of warrants to purchase its common stock to determine whether warrants should be classified as liabilities
or stockholders’ deficit in its condensed consolidated balance sheets. In order for a warrant to be classified in stockholders’
deficit, the warrant must be (i) indexed to the Company’s equity and (ii) meet the conditions for equity classification.
If
a warrant does not meet the conditions for stockholders’ deficit classification, it is carried on the condensed consolidated balance
sheets as a warrant liability measured at fair value, with subsequent changes in the fair value of the warrant recorded in other non-operating
losses (gains) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. If a warrant meets both conditions for equity classification,
the warrant is initially recorded, at its relative fair value on the date of issuance, in stockholders’ deficit in the condensed
consolidated balance sheets, and the amount initially recorded is not subsequently remeasured at fair value.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In
December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires
disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid.
The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital
allocation decisions. The standard will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption
is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its condensed consolidated financial
statements.
On
November 4, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (DISE), requiring additional disclosure of the nature
of expenses included in the statements of operations. The new standard requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included
in the expense captions presented on the face of the statements of operations as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The standard
is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2027.
NOTE
4. RECAPITALIZATION
On
August 26, 2024, PowerUp Acquisition Corp. (“PowerUp”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended from time
to time, the “Merger Agreement”) with PowerUp Merger Sub II, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company (“Merger Sub”), the New Sponsor, Stephen Quesenberry, in the capacity as the seller representative, and Aspire
Biopharma, Inc., a Puerto Rico corporation.
On
February 17, 2025 prior to the time of the consummation of the reverse acquisition (the “Closing Date”), Merger Sub merged
with and into Aspire Biopharma, Inc, with Aspire Biopharma, Inc being the surviving company. After giving effect to the Reverse Acquisition,
Aspire Biopharma, Inc became a wholly owned subsidiary of Aspire Biopharma Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (f/k/a PowerUp Acquisition
Corp.) (“New Aspire”). At Closing Date, the Aspire Biopharma, Inc Stockholders collectively received, in the aggregate, a
number of shares of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of New Aspire Biopharma, Inc Common Stock with
an aggregate value equal to (a) $ 350 million less (b) the amount by which Aspire Biopharma, Inc’s cash at Closing is less than
the Minimum Cash Condition (but only in the event the Minimum Cash Condition is waived by PowerUp), if any, less (c) Aspire’s indebtedness
at Closing.
13
Pursuant
to the Merger Agreement, PowerUp migrated out of the Cayman Islands and domesticated as a Delaware corporation. Also prior to the Closing
Date, Aspire Biopharma, Inc deregistered as a Puerto Rican entity and domesticated as a Delaware corporation (the “Aspire Domestication”)
in accordance with Section 3746 of the Puerto Rico General Corporations Act (as amended) and Section 388 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law. Pursuant to the Aspire Domestication, Aspire’s jurisdiction of incorporation was changed from Puerto Rico to the State of
Delaware. In connection with the Aspire Domestication, all issued and outstanding shares of Aspire’s pre-domestication voting common
stock, Series A preferred stock, and any unconverted warrants automatically converted, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of the post-domesticated
entity’s common stock, Series A preferred stock, and warrants, respectively.
In
connection with the change of PowerUp’s jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware ( the “PowerUp
Domestication”), prior to the consummation of the Reverse Acquisition (the” Closing Date”): (i) each issued and outstanding
Class A ordinary share, par value $ 0.0001 per share (the “Class A common stock”), of PowerUp converted, on a one-for-one
basis, into a duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share, of New
Aspire (the “New Aspire Common Stock”); and (ii) each issued and outstanding whole warrant to purchase Class A common stock
of PowerUp automatically represented the right to purchase one share of New Aspire Common Stock, at an exercise price of $ 11.50 per share
on the terms and conditions set forth in the Warrant Agreement, dated as of February 17, 2022, by and between PowerUp and Equiniti Trust
Company, LLC (f/k/a American Stock Transfer & Trust Company), a New York limited purpose trust company, as warrant agent (in such
capacity, the “Warrant Agent”, also referred to herein as the “Transfer Agent”) (the “Warrant Agreement”).
Immediately following the PowerUp Domestication, (i) the New Aspire Common Stock reclassified as common stock, par value $ 0.0001 per
share (the “New Aspire Common Stock”); (ii) each issued and outstanding unit of PowerUp that had not been previously separated
into the underlying Class A ordinary share and underlying one-half of one warrant upon the request of the holder thereof were cancelled
and entitled the holder thereof to one share of New Aspire Common Stock and one-half of one public warrant, with a whole public warrant
representing the right to acquire one share of New Aspire Common Stock at an exercise price of $ 11.50 per share on the terms and conditions
set forth in the Warrant Agreement; (iii) the governing documents of PowerUp were amended and restated and become the certificate of
incorporation and the bylaws of New and (iv) the form of the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws were appropriately adjusted
to give effect to any amendments contemplated by the form of certificate of incorporation or the bylaws that are not adopted and approved
by the PowerUp shareholders, other than the amendments to the PowerUp governing documents that are contemplated by the Organizational
Documents Proposal, which is a condition to the Closing of the Reverse Acquisition. No fractional warrants were issued upon the separation
of units and only whole warrants are traded.
Prior
to the effective time of the consummation of the Reverse Acquisition, Aspire Biopharma, Inc caused (i) each share of Aspire Biopharma,
Inc Preferred Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the reverse acquisition to be automatically
converted into a number of shares of Aspire common stock at the then-effective conversion rate (the “Preferred Conversion”).
All of the shares of Aspire preferred stock converted into shares of Aspire common stock were no longer outstanding and ceased to exist,
and each holder of Aspire Biopharma, Inc Preferred Stock thereafter ceased to have any rights with respect to such Aspire Biopharma,
Inc preferred stock. Aspire Biopharma, Inc caused each Aspire Biopharma, Inc Warrant to be terminated in exchange for shares of Aspire
common stock in accordance with the respective warrant agreements associated with each such warrant.
On
February 17, 2025 (the “Closing Date), the Reverse Acquisition was consummated. In connection with the consummation of the Reverse
Acquisition, PowerUp Acquisition Corp. changed its name to Aspire Biopharma Holdings, Inc.
On
February 17, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“Securities Purchase Agreement”) with Cobra
Alternative Capital Strategies, LLC (“Cobra”), a sole member entity controlled by Aspire’s former Director of Investor
Relations, Lance Friedman, which services were provided through a consulting agreement with Blackstone Capital Advisors, Inc. (a firm
that Mr. Friedman controls) that was terminated effective February 17, 2025, and Target Capital X LLC (collectively, the “Investors”).
Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued two 20% original issue discount senior secured convertible debentures (“Debentures”)
in an aggregate principal amount of $ 3,750,000 , and may issue additional Debentures upon the mutual agreement of the Company and the
holders of Debentures representing at least a majority of the aggregate principal and interest owed under the outstanding Debentures
(“Requisite Holders”), under the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Offering”). The conversion price per share
of each Debenture is equal to 92.5 % of the lowest daily VWAP (as defined in the Debentures) of the Company’s shares of common stock
during the five trading day period ending on the trading day immediately prior to delivery or deemed delivery of the applicable Conversion
Notice (as defined in the Debentures), subject to adjustments related to the trading price of the Company’s common stock provided
that no conversion may be at a price per share less than the floor price of $ 4.00 per share ( See Note 7 - Convertible Notes ).
14
In
connection with the Reverse Acquisition, on the Closing Date, certain officers, directors, and stockholders of Aspire Biopharma, Inc
each entered into a non-competition agreement and lock-up agreements with the Company.
The
Reverse Acquisition was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, PowerUp,
who is the legal acquirer, was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes and Aspire Biopharma, Inc
was treated as the accounting acquirer. Aspire Biopharma, Inc has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of
the following facts and circumstances under the redemption scenarios:
● Aspire
Biopharma Inc’s existing stockholders will have more than 64.4 % of the voting interest
of New Aspire under both the no redemption and maximum redemption scenarios;
● Aspire
Biopharma Inc’s senior management will comprise the senior management of New Aspire;
● the
directors nominated by Aspire will represent the majority of the board of directors of New
Aspire;
● Aspire
Biopharma Inc’s operations will comprise the ongoing operations of New Aspire; and
● New
Aspire will assume Aspire’s name.
Accordingly,
for accounting purposes, the Reverse Acquisition was treated as the equivalent of a capital transaction in which Aspire is issuing stock
for the net assets of PowerUp. The net assets of PowerUp will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets
recorded. Operations prior to the Reverse Acquisition will be those of Aspire Biopharma, Inc.
Transaction
Proceeds
Upon
closing of the Reverse Acquisition, the Company received gross proceeds of $ 811,370 as a result of the Reverse Acquisition, offset by
total transaction costs of $ 545,543 . The following table reconciles the elements of the Reverse Acquisition to the condensed consolidated

5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Loan
and transfer agreements
In
order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Reverse Acquisition, the New Sponsor or an affiliate of the New Sponsor, or certain
affiliates of PowerUp loaned monies for working capital purposes (“Working Capital Loans”). Upon completion of the Reverse
Acquisition, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise,
the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Reverse Acquisition did
not close, the Company had the option to use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans
but no proceeds held in the Trust Account could be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be
repaid upon consummation of a Reverse Acquisition, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $ 1.5 million of such
Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Reverse Acquisition entity at a price of $ 1.50 per warrant. The warrants
would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.
16

there was $ 50,000 and $ 50,000 in borrowings under the agreement, respectively. The debt discount was fully amortized to interest expense
as a non-cash charge over the term of the loan and transfer liability ending at the date consummation of the Reverse Acquisition.
On
January 10, 2024, PowerUp entered into a Loan and Transfer Agreement with the New Sponsor and Jinal Sheth (“Sheth”), pursuant

December 31, 2024, there was $ 50,000 and $ 50,000 in borrowings under the agreement, respectively. The debt discount was fully amortized
to interest expense as a non-cash charge over the term of the loan and transfer liability ending at the date consummation of the Reverse
Acquisition.
Subscription
Agreements
On
March 5, 2024, PowerUp entered into four separate Subscription Agreements (each, a “First Subscription Agreement”) with the
New Sponsor, Visiox, VKSS Capital, LLC, an affiliate of, and an entity under common control with, the New Sponsor (the “Affiliate”),
and four separate investors (each, an “Investor”), whereby the Investors collectively contributed to New Sponsor a total
of $ 1,000,000 (the “First Contribution”). The New Sponsor utilized the First Contribution to support PowerUp’s previously
anticipated merger with Visiox by funding certain obligations to Visiox pursuant to the Secured Convertible Promissory Note, dated December
1, 2023, issued by Visiox to the New Sponsor (the “Visiox Convertible Note”) (together, all loans and advances, the “March
Loan”).
On
May 9, 2024, PowerUp entered into four separate Subscription Agreements (each, a “Second Subscription Agreement”) with the
New Sponsor, the Affiliate, and four separate Investors, whereby, the Investors collectively contributed to the New Sponsor a total of
$ 500,000 (the “Second Contribution”) and, in turn, the New Sponsor loaned $ 500,000 to PowerUp (the “May Loan”).
PowerUp
accounted for the First and Second Subscription Agreements under ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and ASC
815 “Derivatives and Hedging” and concluded that bifurcation of a single derivative that comprises all of the fair value
of the conversion feature(s) (i.e., derivative instrument(s)) is not necessary under ASC 815-15-25-7 through 25-10. As a result, all
debt proceeds received from Investor have been recorded using the relative fair value method of accounting under ASC 470 “Debt”.
Pursuant to ASC 470, the Company recorded the fair value of the subscription liability on the consolidated balance sheets using the relative
fair value method. The initial fair value of the subscription liability at issuance was estimated using a Black Scholes and Probability
Weighted Expected Return Model. At the close of the Reverse Acquisition, 1,750,000 of commitment fee shares owing to the Investors under
these agreements were transferred by affiliates to the Investors.
17
On
February 17, 2025, the Company assumed $ 1,500,000 of debt under the First Subscription Second Subscription Agreements. At September 30,
2025, $ 1,500,000 owing under these agreements is included in subscription agreement loan balance on the condensed consolidated balance
sheet.
Due
to affiliate
On
February 17, 2025, the Company assumed $ 353,679 of liabilities due to the Sponsor of PowerUp and related to administrative services fees
and a residual balance due from IPO proceeds. As of September 30, 2025, the balance of $ 353,679 is recorded within due to affiliate on
the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Promissory
Note Fee – related party
On
October 2, 2024, PowerUp entered into a Promissory Note Fee Agreement with the Sponsor (the “Promissory Note Fee Agreement”).
Pursuant to the Promissory Note Fee Agreement, PowerUp and the Sponsor agreed that the Sponsor took a significant risk on behalf of the
Company by entering into the Visiox Promissory Note in exchange for payment of the Original Promissory Note Fee, and that the Sponsor
should be compensated for that risk despite the termination of the right to receive the Original Promissory Note Fee as a result of the
termination of the proposed merger with Visiox. As consideration for the foregoing, the Company agreed to pay Sponsor a modified promissory
note fee of $ 1,000,000 (the “Modified Promissory Note Fee”) upon the successful closing of a merger. At September 30, 2025,
the Modified Promissory Note Fee is still outstanding and payable and included in promissory note fee – related party on the condensed
consolidated balance sheets.

payable – related party
During
the years ended 2024 and 2023, Aspire Biopharma, Inc incurred expenses and costs related to officer and director compensation, rental
of office space, reimbursable expenses paid by affiliates and non interest bearing working capital loans. On September 27, 2024, to formalize

Agreement”), (ii) a promissory note (the “Blackstone Note”), and (iii) a registration rights agreement (the “RRA”)
with Blackstone Capital Advisors, Inc. (“Blackstone”), an entity controlled by Aspire’s former Director of Investor
Relations, Lance Friedman (all transactions contemplated by such agreements, collectively, the “Blackstone Transaction”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Blackstone Transaction, Blackstone may loan up to an aggregate principal amount of $ 500,000 to the Company,
with an original issue discount of twenty percent ( 20 %). Blackstone loaned the maximum of $ 500,000 to the PowerUp.The maturity date of
the Blackstone Note is the earlier of (i) June 1, 2025 or (ii) the date that the Company receives gross proceeds of at least $ 5,000,000

percent ( 10 %). Interest will be due and payable on the maturity date. Additionally, the Company will pay Blackstone an exit fee equal
to ten percent ( 10 %) of the principal amount and accrued interest on the maturity date. Upon the closing of the Reverse Acquisition,
the Sponsor will transfer three Class A ordinary shares of PowerUp to Blackstone for each dollar loaned under the Blackstone Transaction
(the “Commitment Shares”). On February 17, 2025, the Blackstone Subscription Agreement was amended (the “Amended Blackstone
Subscription Agreement”) to fix the commitment shares to 1,795,000 . The commitment shares were issued at the close of the Reverse
Acquisition. to Pursuant to the RRA, the Company has agreed to register the Commitment Shares with the SEC in any registration statement
filed by the Company in connection with a Qualified Offering (as defined in the Blackstone Subscription Agreement), if any. On February
17, 2025, a fair value of $ 437,474 inclusive of principal balance loaned of $ 423,474 was assumed under this agreement. On April 24, 2025,
the Company entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Cobra , Blackstone and their affiliates
(collectively, the “Lenders”) to resolve all matters related to previously issued notices of default and to amend certain
outstanding loan agreements. In connection with the Settlement Agreement, the Company issued 625,000 shares of common stock to Blackstone
Capital Advisors, Inc. or its designees. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement between the Company and the Lenders, the Blackstone Subscription
Agreement was amended (the “April 2025 Amended Blackstone Subscription Agreement) to extend the maturity date to August 15, 2025.
In addition, the Company paid $ 60,000 as an addition to the principal in lender deal cost in consideration for Blackstone’s waiver
of its right to additional interest or penalties due to the default. The amendment of the debt was accounted under ASC 470 – Accounting
for Debt modification and exchanges. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, $ 364,109 was recorded as loss of extinguishment
of debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. In August 2025, the Blackstone Note was fully repaid including
all exit fees and accrued interests.
NOTE
7. CONVERTIBLE NOTES
Securities
Purchase Agreement
On
February 17, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“Securities Purchase Agreement”) with Cobra
Alternative Capital Strategies, LLC, an entity controlled by the Company’s former Director of Investor Relations, Lance Friedman,
which services were provided through a consulting agreement with Blackstone Capital Advisors, Inc. that was terminated effective February
17, 2025, and Target Capital X LLC (collectively, the “Investors”). Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company
issued 20 % original issue discount senior secured convertible debentures (“Convertible Debentures”) in an aggregate principal
amount of $ 3,750,000 which includes a 20 % OID. The conversion price per share of each Debenture is equal to 92.5 % of the lowest daily
VWAP (as defined in the Debentures), provided that no conversion may be at a price per share less than the floor price of $ 4.00 per share.
At the close of the Reverse Acquisition, 2,106,527 of commitment fee shares owing to the Investors under these agreements were transferred
by affiliates to the Investors.
20
The
Company analyzed for the Securities Purchase Agreement under ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and ASC 815
“Derivatives and Hedgings” and concluded that bifurcation of a single derivative that comprises all of the fair value of
the conversion feature(s) (i.e., derivative instrument(s)) is not necessary. As a result, all debt proceeds received have been recorded
using the fair value method of accounting under ASC 825, “Fair Value Measurement”. Pursuant to ASC 825, the Company recorded
the fair value of the subscription liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets using the fair value method. The initial fair
value of the subscription liability at issuance was estimated using a Monte Carlo Model. In August and September 2025, the Company repaid
a total of $ 3,032,645 of the Convertible Debentures. At September 30, 2025, the fair value of $ 995,891 of the Securities Purchase Agreement
is included in Convertible Notes on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three and nine months ended September
30, 2025, $ 363,567 and $ 637,606 debt discount amortized was included in interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of
operations, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, change in fair value of $ 146,490 and $ 196,980 was included
as an income and expense, respectively in change in fair value of derivatives on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Convertible
Notes
On
August 19, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “ August Securities Purchase Agreement”) with
certain investors (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company sold to the Purchasers certain notes in an aggregate
principal amount of $ 9,687,500 for a subscription price of $ 7,750,000 (the “August 2025 Notes”) with a maturity date of February
19, 2026 . The August 2025 Notes have a 20 % OID of $ 1,937,500 which is included in the aggregate principal amount of $ 9,687,500 and do
not bear an interest rate except for instances of default. Of the $ 7,750,000 total funding (before transaction expenses and debt repayments)
under the Securities Purchase Agreement, $ 4,500,000 was funded on August 19, 2025 (the “first Tranche”), $ 1,000,000 was funded
on September 22, 2025 (the “Second Tranche”), and the balance of $ 2,250,000 (the “Third Tranche”) was funded
on September 30, 2025. The August 2025 Notes are convertible into up to an aggregate of 147,177,424 shares of common Stock (the “
Conversion Shares”) subject to certain conditions.
The
August 2025 Notes are convertible (in whole or in part) at any time on or after the thirty-first (31st) day following the Issuance Date
into such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be determined by dividing (x) that portion identified by the Purchaser of (A) the
outstanding principal amount, plus (B) accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such outstanding principal amount of such Purchaser’s
Note and any other amounts owing under such Note or other Transaction Documents (the as that term is defined in the Notes) by (y) the
conversion price then in effect on the date on which the Purchaser delivers a notice of conversion. The conversion price means the greater
of (i) eighty (80%) percent of the lowest Closing Price on any Trading Day during the five (5) Trading Days prior to the applicable conversion
date or (ii) the floor price (the “Floor Price”). The Floor Price means 20% of the average closing price of the Company’s
Common Stock for the five days prior to the Closing Date.
The
August 2025 Notes may not be converted and shares of Common Stock may not be issued under Notes if, after giving effect to the conversion
or issuance, such Purchaser (together with its affiliates, if any) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of our outstanding shares
of our Common Stock, which we refer to herein as the “Note Blocker”. The Note Blocker may be raised or lowered to any other
percentage not in excess of 9.99% at the option of the applicable Purchaser of Notes, except that any raise will only be effective upon
61-days’ prior notice to us.
In
connection with the August Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement, dated as of August
19, 2025 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to file the initial resale registration
statement by no later than September 18, 2025, to register the resale of the Common Stock underlying the Notes. The resale registration
statement became effective on September 30, 2025.
The
Company accounted for the August 2025 Notes under ASC 470 “Debt” and ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” and concluded
that bifurcation of multiple embedded features was necessary under ASC 815-15-25-1. As a result, the Company separately accounted for
as a single compound derivative. The Company recorded the initial fair value of the derivative liability of $ 4,101,583 million and the
debt issuance cost of $ 907,500 as a debt discount, which will be amortized to interest expense over the expected term of the debt.
21
For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, total amortized debt discount of $ 1,003,157 and $ 1,003,157 was included in interest
expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations, respectively. At September 30, 2025, the balance of $ 3,744,075
of the August 2025 Notes is included in Convertible Notes on the condensed consolidated balance and comprises the principal balance of
$ 9,687,500 , net of unamortized debt discount of $ 5,943,425 .
NOTE
8. REVENUES
Net
sales include products and shipping and handling charges, net returns. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company
expects to receive in exchange for transferring products. All revenue is recognized when or as the Company satisfies its performance
obligations under the contract. The Company recognizes revenue by transferring control of the promised products to the customer, which
primarily occurs when products are shipped to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue for shipping and handling charges at the time
the products are shipped to the customer. The Company estimates product returns based on historical return rates. All of the Company’s
contracts have a single performance obligation and are short-term in nature. Sales taxes and value added taxes in foreign jurisdictions
that are collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and therefore are excluded
from net sales. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of pharmaceutical products directly to customers and is recognized at an
amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for such products.
The
customer order evidenced by invoices issued is considered to be the contract with the customers. At contract inception, an assessment
of the products and services promised in the contracts with customers is performed and a performance obligation is identified for each
distinct promise to transfer a product to the customer. To identify the performance obligations, the Company considers the products promised
per the invoice regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices.
The
performance obligation is considered to be fulfilled upon the shipment of the products. At each reporting period, any invoiced sales
that have not yet shipped is recorded as deferred revenue. As September 30, 2025, there was no deferred revenue.

PowerUp
Warrants
As
part of the PowerUp initial public offering (“IPO”), PowerUp issued warrants to third-party investors where each whole warrant
entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at an exercise price of $ 11.50 per share (the “Public
Warrants”). Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, PowerUp completed the private sale of 9,763,333 Private Placement warrants
where each warrant allows the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Common Stock at $ 11.50 per share. At September 30,
2025, there are 14,374,969 Public Warrants and 9,763,333 Private Placement warrants outstanding.
The
Public Warrants became exercisable commencing 30 days after the consummation of the Reverse Acquisition.
Once
the warrants became exercisable, the Company may redeem the warrants:
● in
whole and not in part;
● at
a price of $ 0.01 per warrant;
● upon
not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, to each warrant holder;
and
● if,
and only if, the reported last sale price of the Company’s Common Stock equals
or exceeds $ 18.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share consolidations, share
capitalizations, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any
20 trading days within a 30 -trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the

NOTE
11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The
fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would
have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company
seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable
inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is
used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and
liabilities:
Level
1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which
transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level
2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets
or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level
3: Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset
or liability.
25
The
following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring
basis at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized
to determine such fair value.

Notes
As
discussed in Note 9 - Convertible Notes, the convertible notes are classified and accounted for as a financial liability of which will
be measured at fair value on a recurring basis (one of the instruments is accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis under ASC
480-10, as a derivative instrument under ASC 815, or at fair value under the fair value option in ASC 825-10).
The
Financial Liabilities are valued under a Monte Carlo Model. The estimated fair value of the Financial Liabilities Component is determined
using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in the pricing models are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life and risk-free
interest rate.

Forward
purchase agreement liabilities
As
discussed in Note 12 - Commitment and Contingencies, the forward purchase agreement is classified and accounted for as a financial liability
which will be measured at fair value on a recurring basis (one of the instruments is accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis
under ASC 480-10, as a derivative instrument under ASC 815, or at fair value under the fair value option in ASC 825-10);
The
forward purchase agreements liabilities are valued under a Probability Weighted Expected Return Model (“PWERM”) which fair
values repayable capital investment and used a Black Scholes Model that fair values the conversion features within the convertible debt.
The PWERM is a multistep process in which value is estimated based on the probability-weighted present value of various future outcomes.
The estimated fair value of the forward purchase agreements liabilities is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in the pricing models
are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life and risk-free interest rate. There were no draws for the nine
months ended September 30, 2025; therefore, no valuation was required.
The
change in the fair value of the forward purchase agreement measured using Level 3 inputs is summarized as follows:

Derivative
liability
As
discussed in Note 9 - Convertible Notes, the Company accounted for the August 2025 Notes under ASC 470 “Debt” and ASC 815
“Derivatives and Hedging” and concluded that bifurcation of multiple embedded features was necessary under ASC 815-15-25-1.
As a result, the Company separately accounted for as a single compound derivative. The initial fair value of $ 4,101,583 the derivative
liability at issuance was estimated using a Monte Carlo Model. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, change in fair
value of the derivative liability of $ 547,318 was recorded as an income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. At September
30, 2025, the fair value of the derivative of $ 3,554,265 was included in derivative liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The

NOTE
12. SEGMENT INFORMATION
ASC
Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about
operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise
for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker,
or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The
CODM has been identified as the Chief Financial Officer, who reviews the assets, operating results, and financial metrics for the Company
as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that
there is only one reportable segment.
The
CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net loss that also is reported on the
statements of operations as net loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as cash. When evaluating the Company’s
performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews several key metrics included in net loss and cash,
which include the following:

Revenue,
general and administrative expenses and other expenses are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough
capital is available for working capital needs and to fund research and development efforts. The CODM also reviews general and administrative
costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget. General
and administrative costs, as reported on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided
to the CODM on a regular basis.
All
other segment items included in net loss are reported on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and described within their
respective disclosures.

ELOC
Agreement
On
November 11, 2025, the Company entered into a new Purchase Agreement (the “Second ELOC Agreement”) with Arena Business
Solutions Global SPC II, Ltd. (“Arena”). Under the Second ELOC Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the
obligation, to direct Arena to purchase up to $ 100,000,000
in shares of the Company’s common stock (the “ELOC Shares”) upon satisfaction of certain terms and conditions
contained in the Second ELOC Agreement, including, without limitation, an effective registration statement filed with the SEC
registering the resale of the ELOC Commitment Fee Shares (as defined below) and additional shares to be sold to Arena from time to
time under the ELOC Agreement.
The
term of the ELOC Agreement began on November 11, 2025 and ends on the earlier of (i) the first day of the month following the
36-month anniversary of the execution date, (ii) the date on which the Investor shall have purchased the maximum amount of ELOC
Shares, or (iii) the effective date of any written notice of termination delivered pursuant to the terms of the ELOC Agreement (the
“Commitment Period”). In consideration for the Arena’s execution and delivery of the ELOC Agreement, the Company
is required to issue Common Shares to Arena equal to $ 250,000
divided by the lowest 1-Trading Day VWAP of the Common Shares of the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the
effectiveness of the initial registration statement (the “Commitment Fee Shares”), plus $ 25,000
in Common shares for fees associated with the prior ELOC Agreement with the Company, based on a price equal to the lowest
1-Trading Day VWAP of the Common Shares of the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of execution and delivery of
this Agreement.
No
Common Shares have been issued to Arena under the Second ELOC Agreement after the balance sheet date through the date that the financial
statements were issued. Second ELOC Agreement replaces the ELOC Agreement described in Note 9.
