and
Heritage Ventures Ltd., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Ireland, with its registered office at 17 Clanwilliam Square, Grand Canal Quay, Dublin 2 D02 DH98 - Republic of Ireland (“Heritage”)
and
42 Telecom Ltd., company incorporated and registered in Malta under registration number C 50141

(i)Under a definitive share exchange agreement entered into on July 15, 2025 (the "Exchange Agreement") between Spectral, Heritage and 42 Telecom, Heritage transferred 1,300 shares in 42 Telecom (the “42 Telecom Shares”) which represent all of the issued and outstanding shares in 42 Telecom to Spectral, in exchange for which Spectral issued 8,000,000 shares of Spectral’s common stock (the “Spectral Shares”);
(ii)Under “Bonus Shares” and “Valuation Guarantee” provisions of the Exchange Agreement, Spectral shall issue certain amount of additional Spectral Shares to Heritage if certain conditions occur. Spectral therefore issued additional 8,000,000 shares of Spectral’s common stock (the “Spectral Escrow Shares”) and deposited them to be held in escrow in accordance with the provisions of an escrow agreement entered into on July 31, 2025 (the “Spectral Shares Escrow Agreement”) between Spectral, Heritage and Jonathan Dariyanani, Attorney at Law, in his capacity as escrow agent. The Spectral Escrow Shares are to be released, transferred or cancelled in accordance with the provisions of the Spectral Shares Escrow Agreement;
(iii)Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the total consideration in Spectral shares, which are assumed to be marketable over a liquidity market, including any and all of the Spectral Shares and Spectral Escrow Shares (“All Spectral Shares”) for the sale and transfer of the 42 Telecom Shares to Spectral shall realize a fair market value money at least equal to USD 30,000,000 (“Consideration”);
(iv)Following the expiration of the Lock Up period (as defined in the Exchange Agreement), Heritage shall be entitled to freely trade All Spectral Shares on the NASDAQ entry tier marketplace (“Market”), subject to applicable laws and regulations to achieve the Consideration.
(v)In accordance with Article 4.3 of the Exchange Agreement, if (a) Spectral does not achieve an uplisting to the Market for its shares or (b) otherwise, due to insufficient liquidity (defined as the absence of bona fide bids at or above the prevailing market price for the relevant Spectral shares) or other circumstances, Heritage is unable to obtain the Consideration by disposing of All Spectral Shares in the Market, the Parties have agreed a retransfer arrangement for both the 42 Telecom Shares and the outstanding Spectral shares assigned to Heritage under the Exchange Agreement;
(vi)Following the expiration of the Lock-Up period, in accordance with Art. 2.3 of the Exchange Agreement, Heritage shall be permitted to sell or transfer up to 10% of the total number of Spectral shares received under the Exchange Agreement per month, beginning on the first trading day after the Lock-Up Period ends and continuing monthly thereafter (“Trickle-Out Release Period”), unless otherwise authorized in writing by Spectral. Spectral may then, in its sole discretion, release all or part of the remaining shares prior to the expiration of the Trickle-Out Release Period.
(vii)Upon expiration of the Lock Up period and expiration (or termination) of the Trickle-Out Release Period, Heritage may, at its sole discretion, seek and obtain to repurchase 42 Telecom Shares in exchange for the return of the shares in Spectral plus any amounts advanced to Heritage by Spectral.

(c) the payment of the actual amounts received by Heritage (if any) for the sale of the Spectral Shares and/or the Spectral Escrow Shares with a minimum value of $3.00 USD for each share of Spectral not returned unless such provision is specifically waived by Spectral in writing.
This Call Option may be exercised by Heritage if, by expiration (or termination) of the Trickle-Out Release Period, Heritage has not cashed the Consideration.

Provided, however, that if 42 Telecom shall achieve the 2025 financial targets defined in the Exchange Agreement with an acceptable deviation of 20% according to the audited financial statements, Spectral shall waive this Put Option.

Spectral Capital Completes Acquisition of 42 Telecom Ltd.
Integration of Spectral’s AI and quantum IP expected to transform 42 into enterprise-scale CRM and messaging powerhouse
Acquisition includes $16 million in guaranteed profitable revenue for 2025
SEATTLE, August 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Spectral Capital Corporation (OTC: FCCN), a technology company focused on the convergence of artificial intelligence and emerging quantum computing technologies, today announced that it has completed the acquisition of 42 Telecom Ltd. (“42”), a global provider of enterprise messaging infrastructure. The acquisition closed on August 3, 2025, following the execution of a Closing Certificate confirming the satisfaction of all conditions in the Definitive Share Exchange Agreement signed July 15, 2025.
Under the agreement, Spectral acquired 100% of 42 Telecom’s issued and outstanding shares in exchange for 8 million shares of Spectral common stock, with an additional 8 million shares placed in escrow. The transaction includes a contractual guarantee that 42 will generate at least $16 million in profitable revenue for fiscal year 2025.
The integration of Spectral Capital’s 31 patent-pending innovations—focused at the intersection of artificial intelligence and quantum computing—positions 42 Telecom Ltd. to evolve into a global platform with transformative capabilities. By embedding Spectral’s proprietary technologies into 42’s existing messaging infrastructure, the company can unlock unprecedented levels of intelligent automation, fraud prevention, predictive engagement, and dynamic routing. These enhancements are expected to dramatically lower operating costs, optimize traffic monetization, and enable sophisticated enterprise-grade CRM and customer engagement features tailored for the U.S. market. With scalable, AI-driven personalization and quantum-secure communications layered into its SMS platform, 42 Ltd. is poised to differentiate itself in the high-margin U.S. enterprise segment, capturing market share from legacy providers and accelerating growth through value-added, low-latency API integrations for marketing, support, and behavioral analytics applications.
"This acquisition represents a pivotal moment for Spectral, as we operationalize our deep IP portfolio in a revenue-generating business with global scale and U.S. enterprise potential," said Jenifer Osterwalder, CEO of Spectral Capital Corporation. "We believe the integration of our AI and quantum technologies into 42’s infrastructure will not only increase efficiency and defensibility but create a leap in commercial value similar to what we’ve seen at companies like C3.ai and Service Now, whose valuations surged as they embedded AI into their core platforms."
Glen Warren, CEO of 42 Telecom Ltd., commented, "Our team is energized by the opportunity to pair Spectral’s world-class intellectual property with our scalable messaging infrastructure. We see enormous potential in the U.S. enterprise space, where demand for secure, intelligent, and integrated communication tools is growing rapidly. We are confident that together, we will reshape how global enterprises engage with their customers."
The Company will file the required audited financial statements and pro forma disclosures for 42 Telecom Ltd. within the applicable SEC filing deadlines.
