Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Digital Asset Acquisition Corp. as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, and for the period from December 9, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Digital Asset Acquisition Corp. as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, and for the period from December 9, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Going Concern The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, if the Company is unable to complete a business combination by October 30, 2026, (or January 30, 2027, if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for an initial business combination within 18 months of the Initial Public Offering), then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The liquidity condition and date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the entity’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the entity’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to Digital Asset Acquisition Corp. in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Digital Asset Acquisition Corp. is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. /s/ WithumSmith+Brown, PC We have served as Digital Asset Acquisition Corp.'s auditor since 2025.

F- 6 DIGITAL ASSET ACQUISITION CORP. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2025 NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN Digital Asset Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated on December 9, 2024 as a Cayman Islands exempted company. The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from December 9, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation,initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), and identifying a target for the Business Combination (defined below). The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering and sale of Private Placement Warrants (defined below), as well as cash equivalents held in the Operating account. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on April 28, 2025. On April 30, 2025, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 17,250,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), including 2,250,000 Units issued pursuant to the exercise of the Underwriters’ (as defined below) over-allotment option in full, generating gross proceeds of $ 172,500,000 (see Note 3). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 5,450,000 warrants at a price of $ 1.00 per warrant (the “Private Placement Warrants”), generating gross proceeds of $ 5,450,000 . Of the 5,450,000 Private Placement Warrants, (i) Cohen & Company Capital Markets, a division of Cohen & Company Securities, LLC (the “Representative”), purchased 1,466,250 Private Placement Warrants, (ii) Clear Street LLC (“Clear Street” and together with the Representative, the “Underwriters”) purchased 258,750 Private Placement Warrants and (iii) DAAQ Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), purchased 3,725,000 Private Placement Warrants. Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on April 30, 2025, an amount of $ 172,500,000 from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), to be invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with maturities of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds held in the Trust Account, as described below. Transaction costs related to the issuances described above amounted to $ 10,931,212 , consisting of $ 1,725,000 of cash underwriting fees, $ 1,725,000 of underwriting fees paid via the issuance of Private Placement Warrants, $ 6,900,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $ 581,212 of other offering costs. F- 7 DIGITAL ASSET ACQUISITION CORP. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2025 The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete a Business Combination with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80 % of the Trust Account (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting discounts held in the Trust Account and taxes paid or payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50 % or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, management has agreed that an amount equal to at least $ 10.00 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering, including the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, will be held in the Trust Account. The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then held in the Trust Account, plus any interest income earned thereon (initially anticipated to be $ 10.00 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). There will be no redemption rights upon completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. The Public Shares subject to redemption will be recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”). The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 6) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction or whether they do not vote or abstain from voting on the proposed transaction, or whether they were a Public Shares on the record date for the general meeting held to approve the proposed transaction. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and the Company does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15 % or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company. The Sponsor has agreed to waive redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares held and any Public Shares they may have acquired during or after the Initial Public Offering in connection with the completion of a Business Combination, except that Public Shares held by the initial shareholders will be subject to mandatory redemption upon any diminution of the Trust Account in connection with an extension, and such shares will be entitled to redemption at a price equal to the per share redemption value then held in the Trust Account in connection therewith. F- 8 DIGITAL ASSET ACQUISITION CORP. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2025 The Company will have until October 30, 2026 (or January 30, 2027), 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (or 21 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for an initial Business Combination within 18 months of the Initial Public Offering) to complete a Business Combination (the “Completion Period”). However, if the Company anticipates that it may not be able to consummate a Business Combination within the Completion Period, the Company may, but is not obligated to, by resolution of the board if requested by the initial shareholders, extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination by seeking shareholder approval to amend the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which the Company must consummate the initial Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval for an extension, holders of Public Shares will be offered an opportunity to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they abstain, vote for, or against, the Company’s initial Business Combination, at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned thereon (which interest shall be net of amounts not previously released to the Company pursuant to permitted withdrawals), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, subject to applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, the time to complete a Business Combination shall not be extended beyond 18 months (or 21 months as discussed above) without a shareholder vote. The Underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Completion Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $ 10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $ 10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the Trust Account assets, in each case less taxes payable and up to $ 100,000 of interest to pay liquidation expenses, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the indemnity of the Underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern As of December 31, 2025, the Company had a working capital surplus of $ 1,037,010 . Prior to the completion of the Initial Public Offering, the Company lacked the liquidity it needed to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the financial statements. The Company has since completed its Initial Public Offering at which time capital in excess of the funds deposited in the Trust Account and/or used to fund offering expenses will be available to the Company for general working capital purposes. At the closing of the Initial Public Offering on April 30, 2025, $ 1,602,224 of the proceeds was due to the Company to be held by the Sponsor outside of the Trust Account for working capital purposes. On August 14, 2025, the Company received the outstanding balance due from Sponsor, totaling $ 1,221,540 . The amount received reflects the gross balance due, net of general and administrative expenses paid directly by the Sponsor on behalf of the Company. F- 9 DIGITAL ASSET ACQUISITION CORP. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2025 The Company has evaluated whether there are certain conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The Company will have until the end of the Completion Period to consummate a Business Combination. If a Business Combination is not consummated by the end of the Completion Period, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after October 30, 2026 (or January 30, 2027). The Company intends to complete the initial Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any Business Combination by October 30, 2026 (or January 30, 2027). Therefore, the Company has concluded that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date that these financial statements are issued. NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Emerging Growth Company The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies but not to emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act 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 a 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 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 comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. Use of Estimates The preparation of 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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. 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 financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. F- 10 DIGITAL ASSET ACQUISITION CORP. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2025 Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all short-term investments, other than those held in the Trust Account, with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $ 1,060,921 as of December 31, 2025 and $0 as of December 31, 2024. Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account As of December 31, 2025, marketable securities held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government treasury bills maturing within three months amounting to $ 177,124,457 . As of December 31, 2024, the Company did not hold marketable securities held in the Trust Account. Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption The Company’s Class A ordinary shares that were sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. In accordance with ASC 480, conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that have redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. Although the Company did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its charter provides that currently, the Company will only redeem its Public Shares. However, the threshold in its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association would not change the nature of the underlying shares as redeemable and thus the Public Shares are required to be presented outside of permanent equity. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value ($ 10.27 per share as of December 31, 2025) at the end of each reporting period. Such changes are reflected in additional paid-in capital, or in the absence of additional paid-in capital, in accumulated deficit. As of December 31, 2025, the Class A ordinary shares reflected in the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table: Gross proceeds $ 172,500,000 Less: Proceeds allocated to Public Warrants ( 500,250 ) Issuance costs allocated to Class A ordinary shares ( 10,881,785 ) Plus: Accretion of carrying value to redemption value 16,006,492 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption $ 177,124,457 F- 11 DIGITAL ASSET ACQUISITION CORP. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2025 Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, Expenses of Offering . Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs directly attributable to the issuance of an equity contract to be classified in equity are recorded as a reduction in equity. Offering costs for equity contracts that are classified as assets and liabilities are expensed immediately. The Company incurred offering costs amounting to $ 10,931,212 , consisting of $ 1,725,000 of cash underwriting fees, $ 1,725,000 of underwriting fees paid via the issuance of Private Placement Warrants, $ 6,900,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $ 581,212 of other offering costs. As such, the Company recorded $ 10,881,785 of offering costs as a reduction of temporary equity and $ 49,427 of offering costs as a reduction of permanent equity. Income Taxes The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions 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 upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2025 or 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 is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands, and the Company believes it is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the periods presented. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation of $ 250,000 . The Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account. Net Income (Loss) per Ordinary Share Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. At December 31, 2025, the calculation of diluted net income per Class A Ordinary Share does not consider the effect of the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 14,075,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, because their exercise is contingent upon future events. As a result, diluted income per Class A ordinary share is the same as basic income per Class A ordinary share. The Company has two classes of ordinary shares, which are referred to as redeemable Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares is excluded from income (loss) per ordinary share as the redemption value approximates fair value. F- 12 DIGITAL ASSET ACQUISITION CORP. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2025 The following tables reflect the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share: For the Year Ended December 31, 2025 For the Period from December 9, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024 Class A Class B (1) Class A Class B (1) Basic net income (loss) per share: Numerator: Net income (loss) $ 2,880,480 $ 1,364,045 $ — $ ( 5,112 ) Denominator: Weighted Average Ordinary Shares 11,626,027 5,505,479 — 5,000,000 Basic net income (loss) per ordinary share $ 0.25 $ 0.25 $ 0.00 $ ( 0.00 ) For the Year Ended December 31, 2025 For the Period from December 9, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024 Class A Class B (1) Class A Class B (1) Diluted net income (loss) per share: Numerator: Net income (loss) $ 2,870,496 $ 1,374,029 $ — $ ( 5,112 ) Denominator: Weighted Average Ordinary Shares 11,626,027 5,565,068 — 5,000,000 Diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share $ 0.25 $ 0.25 $ 0.00 $ ( 0.00 ) (1) Excludes up to 750,000 Class B ordinary shares that were subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part by the Underwriters (Note 6). On April 30, 2025, the Underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised in full simultaneously with the Initial Public Offering, and the 750,000 Class B ordinary shares were no longer subject to forfeiture. F- 13 DIGITAL ASSET ACQUISITION CORP. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2025 Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement , approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature. Warrants The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent period end date while the warrants are outstanding. For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss in the statements of operations. The Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are not precluded from equity classification and were accounted for as such on the date of issuance. Share-Based Compensation The Company records share-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Share Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 defines a fair value-based method of accounting for an employee share option or similar equity instrument. The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments at their fair value on the grant date, which are based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Share-based payments are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Grants of share-based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered have been recorded at the fair value of the share-based payment, which is the more readily determinable value. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service. Share-based compensation expenses are included in costs and operating expenses depending on the nature of the services provided in the statements of operations. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). The amendments in this ASU require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. The ASU requires that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Public entities will be required to provide all annual disclosures currently required by ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), in interim periods, and entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this ASU and existing segment disclosures in ASC 280. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 on December 9, 2024, the date of its incorporation. The adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements, refer to Note 5, Segment Information. No other recently issued accounting pronouncements are expected to have a material impact on the Company. F- 14 DIGITAL ASSET ACQUISITION CORP. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2025 NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on April 28, 2025. On April 30, 2025, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 17,250,000 Units, including 2,250,000 Units issued pursuant to the exercise of the Underwriters’ over-allotment option in full, generating gross proceeds of $ 172,500,000 . Each Unit consisted of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $ 11.50 per whole share, subject to adjustment (see Note 8). NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 5,450,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $ 1.00 per warrant generating gross proceeds of $ 5,450,000 . Of the 5,450,000 Private Placement Warrants, the Underwriters purchased an aggregate of 1,725,000 Private Placement Warrants and the Sponsor purchased 3,725,000 Private Placement Warrants. The proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Completion Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. NOTE 5. SEGMENT INFORMATION ASC 280 establishes standards for companies to report, in their financial statements, information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, and for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s CODM has been identified as the Chief Financial Officer , who reviews the operating results for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Management has determined that the Company only has one reportable segment. The CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income or loss that also is reported on the statements of operations as net income or loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheets as total assets. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews several key metrics, which include the following: For the Year Ended December 31, 2025 For the Period from December 9, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024 Total assets $ 178,292,737 $ 25,000 For the Year Ended December 31, 2025 For the Period from December 9, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024 General and administrative expenses $ 379,159 $ 5,112 Net earnings on marketable securities held in Trust Account 4,606,744 - Net income (loss) $ 4,244,525 $ ( 5,112 ) F- 15 DIGITAL ASSET ACQUISITION CORP. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2025 General and administrative expenses are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a Business Combination or similar transaction within the Completion Period. The CODM also reviews general and administrative expenses to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget. General and administrative expenses, as reported on the statements of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis. The CODM will review net earnings on marketable securities held in Trust Account to measure and monitor shareholder value while maintaining compliance with the trust agreement. All other segment items included in net income or loss are reported on the statements of operations and described within their respective disclosures. NOTE 6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Founder Shares On December 11, 2024, the Sponsor was issued 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate price of $ 25,000 paid to cover certain expenses on behalf of the Company. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 750,000 Class B ordinary shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the Underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part, so that the Sponsor would own, on an as-converted basis, 25 % of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering (assuming the Sponsor does not purchase any Public Shares in the Initial Public Offering). On April 30, 2025, the Underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full as part of the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As such, the 750,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture. In January 2025, the Sponsor transferred 25,000 Founder Shares to each of our independent directors (for an aggregate of 75,000 Class B ordinary shares) and 10,000 Founder Shares to each of our advisors (for an aggregate of 40,000 Class B ordinary shares) at the same price that the Sponsor had purchased such shares or approximately $ 0.004 per share. The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares immediately prior to, concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of the initial Business Combination, or at any time prior thereto at the option of the holder thereof, on a one-for-one basis. The transfer of the Founder Shares to the Company’s advisors and directors is in the scope of ASC 718. Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The Company determined the conversion of such Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares upon consummation of the initial Business Combination represents a performance obligation. Compensation expense related to the Founder Shares is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of occurrence under the applicable accounting literature. The condition of the consummation of an initial Business Combination is considered not to be probable and, as such, the Company has not recognized the expense related to the issuance of these shares. The Founder Shares are designated as Class B ordinary shares and, except as described below, are identical to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, and holders of Founder Shares have the same shareholder rights as Public Shareholders, except that (i) the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below, (ii) the Founder Shares are entitled to registration rights, (iii) the Company’s Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to (A) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (B) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (1) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100 % of the Company’s Public Shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Completion Period, (2) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, (3) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete the Company’s initial Business Combination within the Completion Period, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within such time period and to liquidating distributions from assets outside the Trust Account and (4) vote any Founder Shares held by them and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of the initial Business Combination (including any proposals recommended by the Company’s board of directors in connection with such Business Combination) (except with respect to any Public Shares which may not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination transaction in accordance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act and any SEC interpretations or guidance relating thereto), (iv) the Founder Shares are automatically convertible into Class A ordinary shares immediately prior to, concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination or at any time prior thereto at the option of the holder on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as described herein and in the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, and (v) prior to the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination, only holders of Class B ordinary shares will be entitled to vote on the appointment and removal of directors or continuing in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands (including any special resolution required to amend the constitutional documents or to adopt new constitutional documents, in each case, as a result of approving a transfer by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands). F- 16 DIGITAL ASSET ACQUISITION CORP. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2025 The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares immediately prior to, concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of the initial Business Combination or at any time prior thereto at the option of the holder on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or any other equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts sold in the Initial Public Offering and related to or in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination, the ratio at which Class B ordinary shares convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, 25 % of the sum of (i) the total number of all Class A ordinary shares outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering (including any Class A ordinary shares issued pursuant to the Underwriters’ over-allotment option and excluding the Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor and the Underwriters), plus (ii) all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any private placement-equivalent warrants issued to the Company’s Sponsor or any of its affiliates or to the Company’s officers and directors upon conversion of working capital loans) minus (iii) any redemptions of Class A ordinary shares by Public Shareholders in connection with an initial Business Combination; provided that such conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis. With certain limited exceptions, the Founder Shares are not transferable, assignable or saleable (except to the Company’s officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the Company’s Sponsor, each of whom will be subject to the same transfer restrictions) until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or earlier if, subsequent to the Company’s initial Business Combination, the last sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $ 12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30 -trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Company’s initial Business Combination, and (B) the date following the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. Promissory Note - Related Party On December 11, 2024, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $ 300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”). This Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2025 or the date on which the Company consummates the Initial Public Offering of its securities. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the balance of the Promissory Note was paid in full to a related entity of the Sponsor, and borrowings under the note are no longer available. Due to Related Party The Company’s Sponsor has agreed to initially fund operating expenses related to the Initial Public Offering. These include legal fees, mailing, and shipping expenses. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had a total of $ 6,647 and $ 321 , respectively, ou tstanding that was due to related party. F- 17 DIGITAL ASSET ACQUISITION CORP. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2025 Administrative Support Agreement The Sponsor has agreed, commencing from April 30, 2025, the date of the Initial Public Offering, through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, to make available to the Company certain general and administrative services, including office space and administrative services, as the Company may require from time to time. The Company has agreed to pay to the Sponsor up to $ 20,000 per month for these services during the Completion Period. For the year ended December 31, 2025 and the period from December 9, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, the Company incurred $ 160,000 and $ 0 , respectively, due to the Sponsor for these services, which are included in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying statements of operations. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had a total of $ 20,000 and $0 , respectively, of prepayments for services under the administrative support agreement which are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the accompanying balance sheets. Working Capital Loans In order to finance transaction costs in connection with the initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required on a non-interest bearing basis. If the Company completes the initial Business Combination, the Company will repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $ 1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants, at a price of $ 1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender, upon consummation of the initial Business Combination. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Other than as set forth above, the terms of such loans by the Company’s officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. There are no such outstanding working capital loans as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. NOTE 7.

In addition, the holders have certain “piggyback” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Company’s completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. Underwriting Agreement Pursuant to the underwriting agreement, the Sponsor and the executive officers and directors have agreed that, for a period of 180 days from the date of the Initial Public Offering, they will not, without the prior written consent of the Representative, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any units, warrants, ordinary shares or any other securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, any units, ordinary shares, Founder Shares or warrants, subject to certain exceptions.

F- 18 DIGITAL ASSET ACQUISITION CORP. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2025 The Company granted the Underwriters a 45 -day option to purchase up to 2,250,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments at the Initial Public Offering price, less the underwriting commissions. On April 30, 2025, simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Underwriters elected to fully exercise the over-allotment option to purchase the additional 2,250,000 Units at a price of $ 10.00 per Unit. The Underwriters were entitled to (1) an underwriting discount of $ 0.20 per Unit, or $ 3,450,000 in the aggregate, of which (i) $ 0.10 per Unit was paid to the Underwriters in cash at the closing of the Initial Public Offering and (ii) $ 0.10 per Unit was used by the Underwriters to purchase Private Placement Warrants, and (2) a deferred fee of $ 0.40 per Unit, or $ 6,900,000 . The deferred fee will become payable to the Underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement, and will be based on the amount of funds remaining in the Trust Account after shareholder redemptions of Public Shares in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2025 Warrants — As of December 31, 2025, there were 14,075,000 warrants issued including 8,625,000 Public Warrants, issued as part of the Units and 5,450,000 Private Placement Warrants. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its Public Warrants only for a whole number of Class A ordinary shares. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to an existing registration statement or a new registration statement covering the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and thereafter will use the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days following the initial Business Combination and to maintain a current prospectus relating to the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the sixtieth (60) business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the warrants for redemption for cash: ● in whole and not in part at a price of $ 0.01 per warrant; ● upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and ● if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $ 18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant as described below) for any 20 trading days within a 30 -trading day period commencing at least 30 days after completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination and ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company for cash, the Company may exercise the redemption right even if the Company is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $ 9.20 per Class A ordinary shares (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the initial shareholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the initial shareholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60 % of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day after the day on which the Company consummates the initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $ 9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115 % of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $ 18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180 % of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price. The Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination. The Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Public Warrants sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering. F- 20 DIGITAL ASSET ACQUISITION CORP. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2025 The Company accounts for the 14,075,000 warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering (including 8,625,000 Public Warrants and 5,450,000 Private Placement Warrants) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that the warrants described above are not precluded from equity classification. Equity-classified contracts are initially measured at fair value (or allocated value). Subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized as long as the contracts continue to be classified in equity. The fair value of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants at issuance was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following assumptions: Risk-free interest rate 3.6 % Expected term (years) 2.52 Expected volatility 7.9 % Stock price on valuation date $ 10.21 Exercise price $ 11.50 Expected dividend — % Market pricing adjustment 15.0 % NOTE 9. 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 assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value: Level December 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 Marketable securities held in Trust Account 1 $ 177,124,457 $ — The Company does not have any liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued. Based upon this review and other than the below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements. On January 13, 2026 the Company and Old Glory Bank’s Bank Holding Company (“Old Glory Bank”), entered into a definitive business combination agreement to create OGB Financial Company, a Texas corporation to be listed on Nasdaq under the reserved ticker symbol “OGB.” Old Glory Bank is a digital-first financial institution focused on personal and small-business banking services. The transaction is expected to be funded by a combination of the Company’s Trust Account and expected proceeds from a public investment in private equity (“PIPE”). Existing Old Glory Bank investors will rollover 100 % of their equity as part of the transaction. The closing of the transaction is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2026 and is subject to approval by the shareholders of the parties and other customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval.
