Item 1.01.Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On December 1, 2025, OpGen, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Share Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with AEI Capital Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and the controlling stockholder of the Company (the “Seller”), pursuant to which the Seller agreed to sell all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares (the “Shares”) of Sun Investment Enterprises Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the “Holding Company”). The Holding Company is the owner of all of the equity interests of iCapX Sdn. Bhd., a private company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Malaysia providing cap table management fintech platform services to customers (“iCapX”). The purchase price for the Shares was $12,278,703.08. The Company will pay the purchase price through the issuance of 2,028,867 shares of common stock at a price of $6.052 per share, which shares are expected to be issued to the Seller on or about January 20, 2026. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by each party that are subject, in some cases, to specified exceptions and qualifications contained in the Agreement.

 

The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement and the schedules attached thereto, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 2.01.Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

On December 1, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of the Shares of the Holding Company as disclosed in Item 1.01 above. The information set forth in Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.

 

As a result of the Company’s acquisition of the Shares of the Holding Company, iCapX became an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. iCapX operates a cap table management fintech platform and provides related corporate advisory services to its clientele, including an agreement with a privately held company (the “Client”). Subsequent to the completion of the acquisition of the Shares of the Holding Company on December 1, 2025, the corporate advisory services for such Client were completed, which satisfied the performance obligations for receipt of an advisory fee consisting of $80,000 plus shares of the common stock of the Client representing 1.4% of the outstanding equity of such Client, which the Company estimates to be valued at approximately $14 million.

 

The Seller is the Company’s controlling stockholder as well as the owner of 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Holding Company. In determining the purchase price for the Shares, the parties performed a peer group comparison and supplemented the analysis with value-added considerations to incorporate company-specific attributes and differentiation factors.
