Removed
Since its launch, Alpha Modus has defined and kept to its corporate mission by solving pain-points using actionable insights found in previously unstructured data and through the use of artificial intelligence which turns previously unstructured data, into valuable actionable insights. Alpha Modus began serving several clients in the financial markets and real estate industry.
Added

While the Company seeks to resolve disputes through negotiated licensing arrangements where feasible, litigation remains an integral component of its overall commercialization strategy. 6 Technology Capabilities and Applications The Company’s patented systems generally involve the use of one or more information monitoring devices—such as video image devices or other sensor technologies—operably connected to servers and databases capable of analyzing gathered information in real time.
Removed
In 2017, Alpha Modus was introduced to Michael Garel, Founder and CEO of eyeQ. eyeQ was also an IBM partner and a recipient of an IBM Beacon award in 2015. eyeQ was an Austin, Texas-based startup with a focus on serving the retail sector with hardware devices which accompanied a SaaS revenue model.
Added
The analyzed information may include demographic characteristics, sentiment data, product interaction data, and tracking information. Based on such analysis, the systems may provide targeted responses, including digital content engagement, marketing communications, product location guidance, coupons, or other personalized interactions.
Removed
With the original intent of Alpha Modus leveraging eyeQ’s technology, which gathered consumer and brand metadata, for the purpose of predicting retail sales data, Alpha Modus acquired eyeQ’s assets and pending patent applications in 2018. After the acquisition, Alpha Modus took over management of the eyeQ patent portfolio, including the pending patent applications.
Added
Applications of the Company’s patented technologies may include: ● Targeted in-store marketing campaigns; ● Digital engagement at the point of sale; ● Consumer behavior analytics and heatmapping; ● Inventory management and smart planogram optimization; ● Store-level staffing analytics; and ● Integration of physical retail data with broader advertising and digital media ecosystems.

This led to the ‘571 patent issuance in August of 2019. During this time, Alpha Modus attempted to license the ‘571 patent to previous eyeQ customers and prospective customers in the eyeQ sales pipeline. However, the technology covered under the ‘571 patent was not yet embraced by most retailers.
Added
The Company believes that its intellectual property addresses structural challenges facing brick-and-mortar retailers, including the need to compete with digital commerce platforms by delivering measurable, personalized, and performance-driven engagement within physical retail environments.
Removed
Additionally, other previous customers and prospective customers in the eyeQ sales pipeline were beginning to launch their own internal initiatives for data-driven point-of-sale technologies.
Added
Commercialization and Ecosystem Strategy In addition to licensing its patent portfolio, Alpha Modus is pursuing commercialization initiatives designed to deploy its technologies through strategic partnerships, platform integrations, and fintech-enabled retail infrastructure initiatives. These initiatives include the development and planned rollout of consumer-facing applications and in-store kiosk technologies intended to operate within established compliance and payments frameworks.
Removed
Faced with difficulty in licensing the single ‘571 patent while trying to re-engaging eyeQ’s previous clientele, Alpha Modus chose to pause immediate sales and licensing efforts and focus solely on continued innovation of the technology covered by the ‘571 patent, which evolved into additional patents and services that are in a better position to compete for licensing and services revenue in the foreseeable future.
Added
The Company’s commercialization efforts are designed to complement its intellectual property licensing strategy and to demonstrate real-world implementations of its patented systems. The Company’s long-term objective is to establish its patent portfolio as foundational infrastructure for real-time, data-driven consumer engagement within physical commerce environments, while monetizing such position through structured licensing and strategic partnerships.

On November 24, 2025, the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) issued final regulations under Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 4501 (Treasury Decision 10037).
Removed
Generally, issuances of securities by us in connection with our initial Business Combination transaction (including any PIPE transaction at the time of our initial Business Combination), as well as any other issuances of securities not in connection with our initial Business Combination, would be expected to reduce the amount of the Excise Tax in connection with redemptions occurring in the same calendar year.
Added
Under these final regulations, transition relief from the Excise Tax under Section 4501 is appropriate for certain types of stock issued prior to the date of enactment of the IRA if the covered corporation no longer has discretion as to whether to repurchase such stock after that date.

In addition, the Excise Tax would be payable by us, and not by the redeeming holder.
