On September 2, 2026, Robert B. Catell, Joseph D. Ceccoli, and Dr. Yacov Shamash notified BNB Plus Corp. (the “Company”) of their resignation as directors of the Company, effective September 3, 2026. The resignation of Messrs.

On September 2, 2026, the Board appointed Richard Shorten, Todd Larsen and Lok Lee, as directors, effective September 3, 2026, each to hold office until the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders and until their successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier death, disqualification, resignation or removal, to fill the vacancies created by the resignations of Messrs. Catell and Ceccoli, and Dr. Shamash.

 

Upon the effectiveness of their appointment, Messrs. Larsen and Lee will serve as members of the Board’s Audit Committee and Compensation Committee. Mr. Larsen will also serve as a member of the Board’s Nominating Committee.

 

The compensation for Messrs. Shorten, Larsen and Lee’s service on the Board will be agreed upon and entered into at a later date.

 

Except as set forth below, the Company is not aware of any transactions with Messrs. Shorten, Larsen, and Lee that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Effective June 17, 2026, the Company entered into a strategic advisory engagement with GlobalStake pursuant to which it has paid GlobalStake a pre-paid advisory fee of $300,000 for the initial term. Under the engagement, GlobalStake will conduct a comprehensive strategic review of the Company’s business, assets, and capital structure over an initial four-month term. The review will be led by Mr. Shorten.

 

GlobalStake is affiliated with Comstock MultiChain Fund, LP (“Comstock”), an investment fund and current shareholder of the Company. Comstock MultiChain GP, LLC (“Comstock GP”), is the general partner of Comstock.

Pursuant to the Cryptocurrency Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company sold and issued to Comstock GP 1,506,026 Cryptocurrency Prefunded Warrants, at an offering price of $3.32 per share, to purchase shares of Common Stock at a per share exercise price of $3.82 and 1,506,026 Series E-2 Warrants at a per share exercise price of $3.82, for gross proceeds of $5.0 million.
