Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements due to, among other considerations, the matters discussed under Risk Factors and Note About Forward-Looking Statements.* **Overview** Alpha Modus Holdings, Inc., through its operating subsidiaries, is a technology and intellectual property company focused on the development, protection, licensing, and commercialization of data-driven systems designed to enhance consumer engagement and decision-making within physical retail environments. The Company was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Cornelius, North Carolina. Alpha Modus core strategy centers on the creation, licensing and enforcement of a proprietary patent portfolio covering systems and methods for real-time monitoring, analysis, and response to consumer behavior at or near the point of purchase. The Companys technology is designed to convert previously unstructured consumer interaction data into actionable insights using advanced analytics and artificial intelligence. These insights may be used to support personalized marketing, dynamic digital engagement, smart planograms, inventory management, and enhanced in-store customer assistance. **** **Evolution of the Business Model** **** In its early years, Alpha Modus engaged in technology development and limited commercial deployments, including work in financial markets and real estate analytics. During this period, the Company developed algorithmic and analytics-based systems leveraging cloud infrastructure and cognitive computing tools and received industry recognition for innovation in cloud-based analytics. **** In 2018, Alpha Modus acquired certain assets, including intellectual property and pending patent applications, from a retail technology company. That acquisition expanded the Companys focus into retail consumer analytics and real-time engagement technologies. The initial issued patent from this portfolio, U.S. Patent No. 10,360,571 (the 571 Patent), was granted in 2019. Following this issuance and subsequent patent continuations and related filings, the Company determined that long-term value creation would be better supported by strengthening and expanding its intellectual property position prior to pursuing broad-scale commercialization. As a result, Alpha Modus strategically shifted from near-term software and hardware-centric deployment efforts to a patent-first strategy designed to fortify its intellectual property portfolio, pursue additional patent issuances, and position the Company for structured IP-protected licensing. Since that time, the Company has expanded its patent portfolio to include additional issued patents and pending applications covering systems and methods for: | | Real-time monitoring and analysis of consumer demographic, sentiment, and behavioral data; | | | | Object identification and product interaction analytics; | | | | Personalized marketing and advertising tied to in-store location tracking; | | | | Dynamic digital displays and interactive engagement systems; | | | | Smart planograms and inventory optimization; and | | | | Real-time communications, including digital coupons and targeted promotions. | | **** **Intellectual Property Licensing and Enforcement** One of Alpha Modus primary revenue strategies is the licensing of its patented technologies to retailers, consumer brands, advertising technology providers, digital media platforms, and other commercial enterprises whose products or services practice or benefit from the claimed inventions. The Company has entered into intellectual property licensing agreements outside of litigation and continues to pursue negotiated, market-based licensing outcomes. In addition, where appropriate, Alpha Modus actively enforces its intellectual property rights through litigation in federal courts. These enforcement actions are intended to protect shareholder value, deter unauthorized use, and establish structured licensing frameworks across the industries in which the Companys patented technologies are practiced. 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 Companys patented systems generally involve the use of one or more information monitoring devicessuch as video image devices or other sensor technologiesoperably connected to servers and databases capable of analyzing gathered information in real time. 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. Applications of the Companys 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. | | 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. **** **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. The Companys commercialization efforts are designed to complement its intellectual property licensing strategy and to demonstrate real-world implementations of its patented systems. The Companys 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. **The 571 Patent Family and the uses thereof** The 571 patent family is based on US Patent No. 10,360,571, which issued on July 23, 2019. The 571 patent claims priority to a provisional patent application filed on July 19, 2013. Our business is substantially dependent on the development, protection, and enforcement of our intellectual property portfolio. We own a portfolio of issued United States patents and pending patent applications relating to systems and methods for real-time monitoring, analysis, and response to consumer behavior within physical retail and related digital commerce environments. As of the date of this filing, our issued U.S. patent portfolio consists of eleven granted patents: | | U.S. Patent No. 10,360,571 - Method for Monitoring and Analyzing Behavior and Uses Thereof | | | | U.S. Patent No. 10,853,825 - Method for Monitoring and Analyzing Behavior and Uses Thereof | | | 7 | | | | U.S. Patent No. 10,977,672 - Method and System for Real-Time Inventory Management, Marketing, and Advertising in a Retail Store | | | | U.S. Patent No. 11,042,890 - Method and System for Customer Assistance in a Retail Store | | | | U.S. Patent No.11,049,120 - Method and System for Generating a Layout for Placement of Products in a Retail Store | | | | U.S. Patent No. 11,301,880 - Method and System for Inventory Management in a Retail Store | | | | U.S. Patent No. 12,026,731 - Method for Personalized Marketing and Advertising of Retail Products | | | | U.S. Patent No. 12,039,550 - Method for Enhancing Customer Shopping Experience in a Retail Store | | | | U.S. Patent No. 12,175,484 - Method for Personalized Marketing and Advertising | | | | U.S. Patent No. 12,354,121 - Methods and Systems for Shopping in a Retail Store | | | | U.S. Patent No. 12,425,718 - Methods and Systems for Providing Assistance in a Retail Store | | These patents generally relate to, among other things: | | Monitoring and analyzing consumer demographic, sentiment, and behavioral characteristics in real time; | | | | Product interaction and object identification analytics within retail environments; | | | | Location-based tracking of consumers within retail stores; | | | | Personalized marketing, advertising, and coupon delivery tied to in-store activity; | | | | Customer assistance systems within physical retail locations; | | | | Store layout generation and product placement optimization; and | | | | Real-time communications and purchase options, including digital engagement through interactive devices. | | The patents in our portfolio share priority to earlier filed applications and include continuation filings designed to expand and strengthen claim coverage over time. In addition to our issued patents, we maintain pending U.S. patent applications intended to further broaden and reinforce our intellectual property position. We seek to protect our intellectual property through a combination of patent prosecution, licensing arrangements, contractual protections, and, where appropriate, enforcement actions. We have entered into intellectual property licensing agreements and may pursue additional licensing opportunities through negotiated arrangements or litigation. The duration of our issued patents extends for statutory terms generally measured from their respective earliest effective filing dates, subject to any patent term adjustments or extensions. There can be no assurance that pending applications will result in issued patents, that issued patents will not be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or that our intellectual property rights will provide meaningful competitive protection. The 571 patent received a patent term extension of 1,042 days and does not expire until May 25, 2037. The other patents in the family expire on July 18, 2034. Therefore, there is significant patent life remaining in the 571 patent family. Beginning well before the current expiration of our entire patent family, Alpha Modus intends to continue evolving with the industry and developing new concepts that support increasing revenue streams. Alpha Modus intends to expand the use of our patent family as a lever to develop a sales team to drive potential partnerships authorized under the 571 patent family. During 2025, the Company filed additional United States patent applications as reflected in its current patent portfolio schedule, including: (i) U.S. Patent Application No. 19/203,027, titled Methods for Personalized Marketing of Retail Products; (ii) U.S. Patent Application No. 19/233,507, titled Methods for Personalized Marketing of Retail Products; and (iii) U.S. Patent Application No. 19/309,240, titled Methods and Systems for Providing Customer Assistance in a Retail Store. These applications are intended to further expand and strengthen the Companys intellectual property coverage relating to real-time consumer behavior analysis, personalized marketing, and in-store customer assistance systems. Alpha Modus believes the 571 patent and several family members are being infringed by many major retailers, service providers and consumer brands, and that the adoption of the 571 patent (and family) technology is occurring at an exponential pace in the retail marketplace. | 8 | | **Market Analysis** The retail, retail media, and alternative financial services sectors are undergoing continued technological transformation driven by artificial intelligence, digital engagement, and data-driven personalization.

The Alpha Cash platform is designed to facilitate financial and payment-related services for underbanked and convenience-oriented consumers through retail distribution channels.

The platform is being deployed pursuant to strategic banking, technology, and service-provider partnerships.

Within 30 days of the Purchase Price Date, the Company was obligated to file a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC registering a number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note, and such registration statement was filed as described below. The Note was convertible at the election of the Investor into shares of Common Stock at any time following the earlier of the effective date of the registration statement described above or one year following the Purchase Price Date, at a conversion price equal to 90% multiplied by the lowest daily volume-weighted average price during the five trading days preceding conversion, and provided that (i) the Investor may not convert the Note into shares of Common Stock to the extent that such conversion would result in the Investors beneficial ownership of Common Stock being in excess of 4.99% (or 9.99% if the Companys market capitalization is less than $10 million), and provided that (ii) the Note is not convertible into a total cumulative number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock permitted by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635 (the Exchange Cap).

On December 12, 2024, the Company amended the SPA (the Amended SPA) to revise the terms of the Note. Pursuant to the Amended SPA, the Note was not convertible below a floor price of $4.00/share, but if the closing bid price of the Companys common stock is less than the floor price for ten consecutive trading days, the Company is required to begin making monthly payments under the Note on the date that is 90 days following the original funding date. On or about December 13, 2024, the Company issued the Note to the Investor, the Note was funded on or about December 16, 2024, and the closing bid price of the Companys common stock was subsequently less than the $4.00 floor price for more than ten consecutive trading days, which, under the terms of the Amended SPA, would have required the Company to begin making monthly payments under the Note, with those monthly payments commencing on March 16, 2025, and with those monthly payments being equal to 120% multiplied by the outstanding balance divided by the lesser of 6 or the number of months remaining until the Notes maturity date. On January 27, 2025, the Company and the Investor entered into an amendment to the Note providing that (i) the Company was not required to begin making monthly payments under the Note until May 16, 2025, (ii) the monthly payments will equal $485,000.00 plus all accrued but unpaid interest, multiplied by 120%, and (iii) the Company would pay to the Investor 50% of all proceeds received by the Company from any equity line of credit or similar arrangement within one trading day of receipt by the Company. On April 28, 2025, the Company and the Investor entered into a second amendment to the Note (the Second Amendment) providing that (i) the 20% prepayment penalty under the Note was eliminated, but the outstanding balance of the Note was increased to $3,597,501.71 (i.e., the outstanding balance under the Note as of April 28, 2025, plus the prepayment penalty of 20% as of April 28, 2025), (ii) the Company would have the right on up to three occasions to extend the monthly payment start date for one month, with the outstanding balance automatically increasing by one percent for each extension, (iii) the monthly payments would equal $582,000 plus all accrued but unpaid interest, (iv) the floor price was reduced to $1.25, (v) the Investors beneficial ownership limitation was increased to 9.99%, (vi) the Company agreed to hold a stockholder meeting within 60 days to approve the issuances to the Investor under the Note and under an equity line of credit agreement with the Investor in excess of the Exchange Cap (as such term was defined in the Note), (vii) the Company agreed to sell the Investor 1,250,000 shares of common stock (the Pre-Delivery Shares) for $125, which Pre-Delivery Shares shall be used by the Investor only as pre-delivery shares under the Note and a future equity line of credit agreement between the Company and the Investor, (viii) the Company agreed to file a registration statement to register the Pre-Delivery Shares and other shares of common stock issuable to the Investor upon conversion of the Note, and (ix) the Investor provided its written consent to the Company entering into the Patent Monetization Agreement and Option Agreement described below. | 18 | | A registration statement registering shares for resale by the Investor was filed by the Company with the SEC pursuant to the Companys obligations under the Second Amendment to register Pre-Delivery Shares and other shares of common stock issuable to the Investor upon conversion of the Note (of which 1,250,000 Pre-Delivery Shares and 3,000,000 other conversion shares were registered for resale in that registration statement). That registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on May 23, 2025. On May 29, 2025, the Investor converted $767,000 of the Note into 613,600 shares of Company common stock. On June 11, 2025, the Investor converted $125,000 of the Note into 100,000 shares of Company common stock. On July 10, 2025, the Investor converted $162,500 of the Note into 130,000 shares of Company common stock. On July 16, 2025, the Investor converted $150,000 of the Note into 120,000 shares of Company common stock. On July 23, 2025, the Investor converted an aggregate of $2,545,500 of the Note into 2,036,400 shares of Company common stock, leaving a balance due to the Investor under the Note of approximately $11,312.28, which the Company paid on July 23, 2025, satisfying the note in full. On or about July 25, 2025, the Company repurchased the 1,250,000 Pre-Delivery Shares from the Investor for $125, and on or about August 6, 2025, the Pre-Delivery Shares were returned to the Company by the Investor and cancelled. **Business Combination Closing** On December 13, 2024, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement consummated the Business Combination, and in connection with closing issued the Note to the Investor, and entered into the Guaranty, Security Agreements, IP Security Agreement, and Subordination Agreement. Immediately upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Alpha Modus, Corp. became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, the Company changed its name to Alpha Modus Holdings, Inc., and the Company is now listed on Nasdaq under the symbol AMOD. The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, INAQ is treated as the acquired company for financial statement reporting purposes. See *Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information and Other Data*. Legacy Alpha Modus financial statements for previous periods will be disclosed in the Companys future periodic reports filed with the SEC. In connection with the Business Combination, approximately 426,136 shares of common stock were redeemed, which represented a significant portion of the publicly traded shares outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination and resulted in only approximately $1.16 million of cash from the INAQ trust account becoming available to Alpha Modus in connection with the closing of the Business Combination. In the Business Combination, the Company issued 5,295,000 shares of common stock and 7,500,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock to Legacy Alpha Modus shareholders as merger consideration in the Business Combination, and the Company issued 1,817,308 shares of common stock to various parties as required by the Business Combination Agreement. Immediately following the Business Combination, including the redemption of shares described above, there were 12,455,252 shares of the Companys common stock (all Class A common stock) issued and outstanding, and 7,500,000 shares of the Companys Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. As a result of becoming a publicly traded company, we will need to hire additional personnel and implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. We expect to incur additional annual expenses as a public company for, among other things, directors and officers liability insurance, director fees and additional internal and external accounting and legal and administrative resources, including increased audit and legal fees. **Other Recent Developments** On April 28, 2025, the Company entered into a Patent Monetization Agreement (the Patent Monetization Agreement) with Alpha Modus Ventures, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company controlled by the Companys Chief Executive Officer, William Alessi (AMV), pursuant to which the Company agreed to provide litigation funding to AMV in connection with AMVs recently filed patent litigation suit against Broadcom Inc. for infringement of AMVs patents relating to methods and apparatus for transporting of fibre channel data over ethernet (U.S. Patent Nos. 11,108,591, 11,303,473, and 11,310,077), and the parties agreed that the gross proceeds from the litigation would first be paid to the Company until it has received the return of amounts funded for the litigation, and then 65% to the Company until it has received a five times return, then 45% to the Company until it has received an additional two times return, and then 35% to the Company. | 19 | | On April 28, 2025, and in connection with entering into the Patent Monetization Agreement, the Company entered into an Option Agreement (the Option Agreement) with AMVs owners (Janbella Group, LLC, an entity controlled by Mr. Alessi, and Chris Chumas, the Companys Chief Sales Officer), pursuant to which the Company received the right to acquire AMV from its owners for an option exercise price consisting of the following: (i) the termination by the Company of the Patent Monetization Agreement and AMVs related payment obligations to the Company under the Patent Monetization Agreement, (ii) the payment of $300,000 to Janbella Group, LLC (in satisfaction of which Janbella Group, LLC will release AMV of its $300,000 repayment obligation to Janbella Group, LLC) as soon as the Investor (defined above) has been repaid in full, and (iii) the issuance by the Company to AMVs owners in the aggregate of a number of shares of common stock equal to $35,000,000 divided by the closing price of the Companys common stock immediately prior to closing, which closing shall not occur until the Companys shareholders have approved such transaction and issuance of common stock as required by Nasdaqs listing rules. The Company has not made any payments or assisted with any litigation funding under the Patent Monetization Agreement, and the Company does not expect to receive any payments under that agreement, nor does it expect to exercise any right to acquire AMV pursuant to the Option Agreement. On May 27, 2025, the Company entered into an exchange agreement (the Exchange Agreement) with four family trusts of the Companys CEO, William Alessi, pursuant to which the trusts would exchange an aggregate of 3,200,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (800,000 shares held in the name of The WRA 2023 Irrevocable Trust, 800,000 shares held in the name of The Janet Alessi 2023 Irrevocable Trust, 800,000 shares held in the name of The Isabella Alessi 2023 Irrevocable Trust, and 800,000 shares held in the name of The Kim Alessi Richter Irrevocable Trust, all of which are deemed to be beneficially owned by Mr. Alessi as Mr. Alessis spouse is the trustee of each of the trusts) for an aggregate of 26,079,868 shares of Class A common stock (with each of the trusts being issued 6,519,967 shares of common stock). In the Exchange Agreement, each of the trusts agreed not to sell or otherwise transfer the shares of common stock to be received in the exchange until June 13, 2026 (except for permitted transfers to an affiliate). On or about June 29, 2025, the trusts 3,200,000 preferred shares were cancelled, and 26,079,868 shares of common stock were issued to the trusts. On July 15, 2025, the Company issued a promissory note to The Alessi 2023 Irrevocable Trust, one of the family trusts of the Companys CEO, William Alessi, in the original principal amount of $2,142,857, in consideration of $1,500,000 in funding received by the Company from the ender on or about July 10, 2025. The note accrues interest at eight percent (8%) per annum, matures on April 30, 2026, and is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at the election of the holder at a $5.00 per share conversion price. As described above, as of July 23, 2025, the note issued to Streeterville Capital, LLC had been fully satisfied. On September 16, 2025, the Company issued a promissory note to The Alessi 2023 Irrevocable Trust, one of the family trusts of the Companys CEO, William Alessi, in the original principal amount of $714,286, in consideration of $500,000 in funding received by the Company from the Lender on or about September 16, 2025. The note accrues interest at eight percent (8%) per annum, matures on September 15, 2026, and is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at the election of the holder at a $5.00 per share conversion price. Effective October 19, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the Haase-Dubosc Securities Purchase Agreement) with the Nancy Helen Wallace and Gerard Haase-Dubosc Family Trust (the Haase-Dubosc Trust), pursuant to which the Company issued (i) a convertible promissory note to the Haase-Dubosc Trust in the original principal amount of $400,000 (the Haase-Dubosc Note), and (ii) warrants to purchase 363,636 shares of Company Class A common stock at an exercise price of $1.10/share, for a total purchase price of $400,000 (the Haase-Dubosc Warrants). The Haase-Dubosc Note accrues interest at 7% per annum, matures on October 15, 2026, and is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at the election of the holder at any time 6 months following issuance of the note at a fixed, non-variable conversion price equal to 80% of the 5-day volume-weighted average price on the first trading day following issuance of the note, or $0.896/share. The Haase-Dubosc Note and Haase-Dubosc Warrants were issued to the Haase-Dubosc Trust on October 19, 2025. | 20 | | Effective December 2, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the Securities Purchase Agreement) with AIFirst Ventures LLC (AIFirst), pursuant to which the Company issued (i) a convertible promissory note to AIFirst in the original principal amount of $250,000 (the AIFirst Note), and (ii) a common stock purchase warrant to AIFirst to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Company Class A common stock at an exercise price of $1.00/share (the AIFirst Warrant), for an aggregate purchase price of $250,000. The AIFirst Note does not accrue interest, matures on October 30, 2026, and is convertible into shares of Class A common stock of the Company at the election of the holder at any time 6 months following issuance of the note at a fixed, non-variable conversion price equal to 80% of the 5-day volume-weighted average price on the first trading day following issuance of the note (or $0.617, based on the 5-day volume-weighted average price on December 3, 2025, of approximately $0.771). The purchase price was paid by AIFirst to the Company on December 2, 2025, and the AIFirst Note and AIFirst Warrant were issued by the Company to AIFirst effective as of December 2, 2025. Effective December 30, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the Securities Purchase Agreement) with Alexander Haase-Dubosc, pursuant to which the Company issued a convertible promissory note to the investor in the original principal amount of $110,000 for a purchase price of $100,000. The note accrues interest at 7% per annum, matures on December 29, 2026, and is convertible into shares of Class A common stock of the Company at the election of the holder at any time 6 months following issuance of the note at a fixed, non-variable conversion price equal to 80% of the 5-day volume-weighted average price on the first trading day following issuance of the Note (the 5-day VWAP on December 31, 2025). The purchase price was paid by the investor to the Company on December 30, 2025, and the note was issued by the Company to the investor effective as of December 30, 2025. **Emerging Growth Company** We are 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**). As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the **Sarbanes-Oxley Act**), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) ending December 31, 2026, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of the prior fiscal years second fiscal quarter; and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period. References herein to emerging growth company shall have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act. **Smaller Reporting Company** Additionally, we are a smaller reporting company as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (i) the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the prior June 30, or (ii) our annual revenues exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30. | 21 | | **Controlled Company** By virtue of the fact that Alpha Modus CEO, William Alessi, is deemed to beneficially own shares of stock having more than 50% of the total voting power of the shares of our capital stock, we qualify as a controlled company within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of the Nasdaq. Under these rules, a listed company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group or another company is a controlled company and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirement that (i) a majority of our board consist of independent directors, (ii) we have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors, and (iii) we have a nominating/corporate governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors. **Employees** We presently have 9 employees. We utilize consultants as well, we have never experienced work stoppages, and we are not a party to any collective bargaining agreement. **Corporate Information** Alpha Modus principal executive offices are located at 20311 Chartwell Center Drive, #1469, Cornelius, North Carolina, 28031. Alpha Modus website address is *www.AlphaModus.com*. Information contained on or accessible through Alpha Modus website is not a part of this report, and the inclusion of Alpha Modus website address in this report is an inactive textual reference only. **WHERE YOU CAN GET ADDITIONAL INFORMATION** We file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. You may read and copy our reports or other filings made with the SEC at the SECs Public Reference Room, located at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, DC 20549.

You can also access these reports and other filings electronically on the SECs web site, www.sec.gov. **Item 1A. Risk Factors.** We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item. We reserve the right not to provide risk factors in our future filings. *An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding to purchase, hold, or sell our common stock, you should consider carefully the risks described below in addition to the cautionary statements and risks described elsewhere in this Annual Report and in our other filings with the SEC, including our registration statements and reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of these known or unknown risks or uncertainties actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be seriously harmed. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment.* | 22 | | **Risks Related to Alpha Modus Business and Industry** **The Company had operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities in the past, and it may not achieve or sustain profitability.** The Company had an operating loss of $5,244,188 and net cash used in operating activities of $3,210,182 in 2025. The Company cannot assure you that it will be able to generate net profit or positive cash flows from operating activities in the future. Its future revenue growth and profitability will depend on a variety of factors, many of which are beyond its control. These factors include effectiveness of its monetization strategy, its ability to control costs and expenses and to manage its growth effectively, market competition, and the macroeconomic and regulatory environment. The Company may fail to develop and improve its operational, financial and managerial controls, enhance its financial reporting systems and procedures, recruit, train and retain skilled professional personnel, or maintain customer satisfaction to effectively support and manage its future growth. If the Company invests substantial time and resources to expand its patent family but fails to manage the growth of its business and capitalize on its growth opportunities effectively, it may not be able to achieve profitability, and its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects would be materially and adversely affected. **If Alpha Modus is unable to continue as a going concern, its securities will have little or no value.** Although the Companys audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, were prepared under the assumption that it would continue our operations as a going concern, the reports of its independent registered public accounting firm that accompanies its financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, contain a going concern qualification in which such firm expressed substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern, based on its financial statements and results at that time, including its lack of current revenues, recurring losses from operations and net capital deficiency. The Company expects to continue to incur significant expenses in 2026. The Companys prior losses and potential expected future losses have had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on its financial condition. In addition, continued operations and the Companys ability to continue as a going concern may be dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing in the near future and thereafter, and there are no assurances that such financing will be available to it at all or will be available in sufficient amounts or on reasonable terms. The Companys financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient additional funds in the future through operations, financings or from other sources or transactions, it will exhaust its resources and will be unable to continue operations. If it cannot continue as a going concern, its shareholders would likely lose most or all of their investment in it. **The artificial intelligence (AI) technology market in which Alpha Modus participates is competitive, and if it does not compete effectively, its business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed.** The AI market is competitive and rapidly evolving. The principal competitive factors in Alpha Modus market include research and development capabilities, industry know-how, continuous capital investment, product portfolio, among others. Many of Alpha Modus competitors have substantial competitive advantages, including larger scale, longer operating history, greater brand recognition, more established relationships with customers, suppliers and partners, and greater financial, research and development, marketing and other resources. As a result, Alpha Modus competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than Alpha Modus can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards or customer requirements. In addition, some competitors may offer products, solutions and services that address one or more number of functions with greater depth, application, or functionality greater than Alpha Modus solutions and technologies. Alpha Modus existing and potential competitors may develop and market new products, solutions and services with functionality comparable to it. If Alpha Modus is unable to compete successfully against its current or potential competitors, its business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially and adversely impacted. **If Alpha Modus fails to adapt and respond effectively to rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, changing regulations, and changing customer needs, requirements or preferences, its business may be materially and adversely affected.** The AI industry market is subject to rapid technological changes, evolving industry standards, regulations and customer needs, requirements and preferences. The success of Alpha Modus business will depend, in part, on its ability to adapt and respond to these changes on an effective and timely basis. If it fails to improve its technologies in a way that satisfies potential users or customers of intellectual property that keep pace with rapid technological and industry changes, its business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected. If new technologies emerge that are able to deliver competitive products, solutions and services at lower prices, more efficiently, more conveniently or more securely, such technologies could adversely impact Alpha Modus ability to compete effectively. | 23 | | **Issues arising in connection with the use of AI in the market generally may result in reputational harm or liability to Alpha Modus.** As with many disruptive innovations, AI presents risks and challenges that could affect its adoption, and therefore Alpha Modus business. AI algorithms may be flawed. Datasets may be insufficient or contain biased information. Inappropriate or controversial data practices could impair the acceptance of AI solutions. These deficiencies could undermine the decisions, predictions, or analysis AI applications produce, subjecting the providers of AI technologies generally, including Alpha Modus, to competitive harm, legal liability, and brand or reputational harm. Some AI scenarios present ethical or data privacy issues. If Alpha Modus enables or offers AI solutions that are controversial because of their impact on human rights, privacy, employment, or other social issues, it may experience brand or reputational harm. **Risks Related to Alpha Modus Intellectual Property** **Alpha Modus may fail to obtain, maintain, and protect its intellectual property rights and proprietary information or prevent third parties from any unauthorized use of its technologies.** Alpha Modus trade secrets, trademarks, patents, and other intellectual property rights are critical to its success. Alpha Modus expects to rely on confidentiality agreements and non-compete agreements with third parties to protect its intellectual properties. However, events beyond its control may pose threats to its intellectual property rights and the integrity of its technologies and brand. Effective protection of Alpha Modus intellectual property rights is expensive and challenging. While Alpha Modus has taken measures to protect its intellectual property rights by filing patent applications, pursuing patent prosecution, and obtaining patents in the United States, such efforts are inadequate to guard against and prohibit potential infringement and misappropriation. In addition, Alpha Modus intellectual property rights may be declared invalid or unenforceable by the courts. Furthermore, Alpha Modus cannot assure you that any of its pending patent or other intellectual property rights applications will ultimately proceed to registration or will result in registration with adequate scope for its business. Some of Alpha Modus applications or registrations may be successfully challenged or invalidated by others. If Alpha Modus intellectual property rights applications are not successful, it may have to use different intellectual property rights for its affected technologies, or seek to enter into arrangements with any third parties who may have prior registrations, applications or rights, which might not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If Alpha Modus fails to protect or enforce its intellectual property rights, its competitors may use its technologies without authorization. As a result, future customers and partners could then devalue Alpha Modus technologies, and Alpha Modus ability to compete effectively may be impaired, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. **Alpha Modus will likely become subject to intellectual property disputes, which are typically costly and may subject us to significant liability and increased costs of business.** Alpha Modus competes in markets where there are a large number of patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and other intellectual and proprietary rights, as well as disputes regarding infringement of these rights. Alpha Modus intends to enforce its patent rights by bringing legal claims against other parties, and its competitors and other third parties may, whether rightly or falsely, bring legal claims against it for infringing on their intellectual property rights. The intellectual property laws in the United States, which cover the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property rights, are evolving, and litigation is a popular means to resolve commercial disputes. Any intellectual property lawsuits against Alpha Modus, whether successful or not, may harm our brand and reputation. | 24 | | Prosecuting and defending intellectual property claims is costly and can impose a significant burden on our management and resources. Any intellectual property litigation to which Alpha Modus becomes a party may require it to do one or more of the following: | | | cease selling, licensing, or using products or features that incorporate the intellectual property rights that Alpha Modus allegedly infringes, misappropriates, or violates; | | | | | | | | | | make substantial payments for legal fees, settlement payments, or other costs or damages, including indemnification of third parties; | | | | | | | | | | obtain a license or enter into a royalty agreement, either of which may not be available on reasonable terms or at all, in order to obtain the right to sell or use the relevant intellectual property; or | | | | | | | | | | redesign the allegedly infringing products or services to avoid infringement, misappropriation, or violation, which could be costly, time-consuming, or impossible. | | Further, there is no guarantee that Alpha Modus can obtain favorable judgment in its legal cases, in which case it may need to pay damages or be forced to cease using certain intellectual property that is critical to our technology or service offerings. Any resulting liabilities or expenses or required changes to technologies may have a material adverse effect on Alpha Modus business, results of operations, and prospects. **Alpha Modus intellectual property business is reliant on the strength of is patent portfolios and is subject to evolving legislation, regulations, and rules associated with patent law, which may adversely affect its business.** The success of Alpha Modus intellectual property business is heavily dependent on obtaining and enforcing patents. Patent acquisition and enforcement is costly, time-consuming, and inherently uncertain. Obtaining and enforcing patents across various industries, including the artificial intelligence industry, involves a high degree of technological and legal complexity. Alpha Modus patent rights may be affected by developments or uncertainty in U.S. or foreign patent statutes, patent case law, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) rules and regulations and the rules and regulations of foreign patent offices. In addition, the United States may, at any time, enact changes to U.S. patent law and regulations, including by legislation, by regulatory rulemaking, or by judicial precedent, that adversely affect the scope of patent protection available and weaken the rights of patent owners to obtain patents, enforce against patent infringement and obtain injunctions and/or damages. For example, over the past several years, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and the Supreme Court issued various opinions, and the USPTO modified its guidance for practitioners on multiple occasions, either narrowing the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakening the rights of patent owners in certain situations. Other countries may likewise enact changes to their patent laws in ways that adversely diminish the scope of patent protection and weaken the rights of patent owners to obtain patents, enforce against patent infringement, and obtain injunctions and/or damages. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to Alpha Modus ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty with respect to the value of patents, once obtained. Alpha Modus cannot predict the breadth of claims that may be allowed or enforced in its patents or in third-party patents, and whether Congress or other foreign legislative bodies may pass patent reform legislation that is unfavorable to it, which may, in turn, affect the value of its patent assets. Further, the United States and other governments may, at any time, enact changes to law and regulation that create new avenues for challenging the validity of issued patents. For example, the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (described in more detail in the following risk factor) created new administrative post-grant proceedings, including post-grant review, inter-partes review, and derivation proceedings that allow third parties to challenge the validity of issued patents. This applies to all of Alpha Modus patents. Because of a lower evidentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary standard in U.S. federal courts necessary to invalidate a patent claim, a third party could potentially provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for the USPTO to hold a claim invalid even though the same evidence would be insufficient to invalidate the claim if first presented in a district court action. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to Alpha Modus ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty with respect to the value of patents, once obtained. Depending on decisions by the U.S. Congress, the federal courts, and the USPTO, the laws and regulations governing patents could change in unpredictable ways that could weaken Alpha Modus ability to obtain new patents or to enforce its existing patents and patents that it might obtain in the future. | 25 | | Additionally, new rules regarding the burden of proof in patent enforcement actions could significantly increase the cost of Alpha Modus enforcement actions, and new standards or limitations on liability for patent infringement could negatively impact Alpha Modus revenue derived from such enforcement actions. In addition, recent federal court decisions have lowered the threshold for obtaining attorneys fees in patent infringement cases and increased the level of deference given to a district courts fee-shifting determination. These decisions may make it easier for district courts to shift a prevailing partys attorneys fees to a non-prevailing party if the district court believes that the case was weak or conducted in an abusive manner. As a result, defendants in patent infringement actions brought by non-practicing entities may elect not to settle because these decisions make it much easier for defendants to get attorneys fees. Finally, it is difficult to predict the outcome of patent enforcement litigation at the trial level and outcomes can be unfavorable. It can be difficult to understand complex patented technologies, and as a result, this may lead to a higher rate of unfavorable litigation outcomes. Moreover, in the event of a favorable outcome, there is often a higher rate of successful appeals in patent enforcement litigation than more standard business litigation. Such appeals are expensive and time consuming, resulting in increased costs and a potential for delayed or foregone revenue opportunities in the event of modification or reversal of favorable outcomes. Although Alpha Modus plans to diligently pursue enforcement litigation, it cannot predict with reliability the decisions that may made by juries and trial courts. **Changes to patent laws in the United States and other jurisdictions could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing Alpha Modus ability to protect its product or its current or future product candidates.** Alpha Modus success is heavily dependent on intellectual property, particularly patents. Obtaining and enforcing patents is costly, time consuming and inherently uncertain. Patent reform legislation in the United States and other countries, including the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (the Leahy-Smith Act), contributes to those uncertainties and costs. The Leahy-Smith Act includes a number of significant changes to U.S. patent law. These include provisions that have affected the way patent applications are prosecuted and have redefined prior art and provided more efficient and cost-effective avenues for competitors to challenge the validity of patents. In addition, the Leahy-Smith Act has transformed the U.S. patent system into a first-to-file system in which, assuming that other requirements of patentability are met, the first inventor to file a patent application will be entitled to the patent regardless of whether a third party was first to invent the claimed invention. A third party that has filed a patent application in the USPTO after March 2013 but before Alpha Modus could therefore be awarded a patent covering an invention of Alpha Modus even if Alpha Modus had made the invention before it was made by such third party. This requires Alpha Modus or its licensees to be cognizant of the time from invention to filing of a patent application. Furthermore, Alpha Modus ability to obtain and maintain valid and enforceable patents depends on whether the differences between its technology and the prior art allow its technology to be patentable over the prior art. Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a period of time after filing or until issuance, Alpha Modus cannot be certain that it was the first to either (i) file any patent application related to its product or product candidates, or (ii) invent any of the inventions claimed in its patents or patent applications. Even where Alpha Modus has a valid and enforceable patent, Alpha Modus or its licensees may not be able to exclude others from practicing the claimed invention where the other party can show that they used the invention in commerce before our filing date or the other party benefits from a compulsory license. Among some of the other changes introduced by the Leahy-Smith Act are changes that (i) affect the way patent applications are prosecuted, (ii) redefine prior art, and (iii) provide more efficient and cost-effective avenues for competitors to challenge the validity of patents. These include changes that limit where a patentee may file a patent infringement suit and provide new opportunities for third parties to challenge issued patents in the USPTO. Alpha Modus or its licensees may be subject to the risk of third-party prior art submissions on pending applications or become a party to opposition, derivation, reexamination, *inter partes* review, post-grant review or interference proceedings challenging our patents. There is a lower standard of evidence necessary to invalidate a patent claim in a USPTO proceeding relative to the standard in U.S. district or federal court. This could lead third parties to challenge and successfully invalidate Alpha Modus or its licensees patents that would not otherwise be invalidated if challenged through the court system. Accordingly, a third party may attempt to use the USPTO procedures to invalidate Alpha Modus or its licensees patent claims that would not have been invalidated if first challenged by the third party as a defendant in a district court action. Thus, the Leahy-Smith Act and its implementation increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of Alpha Modus or its future licensees patent applications and the enforcement or defense of Alpha Modus issued patents, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. | 26 | | Additionally, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled on several patent cases in recent years, either narrowing the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakening the rights of patent owners in certain situations. In addition, there have been recent proposals for additional changes to the patent laws of the United States and other countries that, if adopted, could impact Alpha Modus or its licensees ability to obtain or maintain patent protection for Alpha Modus or its out-licensed proprietary technology or Alpha Modus or its licensees ability to enforce Alpha Modus or its out-licensed proprietary technology, respectively. Depending on future actions by the U.S. Congress, the U.S. courts, the USPTO and the relevant law-making bodies in other countries, the laws and regulations governing patents could change in unpredictable ways that would weaken Alpha Modus ability to obtain new patents; enforce or shorten the term of Alpha Modus or its licensees existing patents and patents that might be obtained in the future; shorten the term that has been lengthened by patent term adjustment of existing patents or patents that Alpha Modus might obtain in the future; or challenge the validity or enforceability of Alpha Modus patents that may be asserted against Alpha Modus by competitors or other third parties. Any of these outcomes could have a material adverse effect on Alpha Modus business. For example, with respect to patent term adjustment, the Federal Circuits recent holding in *In re Cellect, LLC*, 81 F.4th 1216 (Fed. Cir. 2023), that obviousness-type double patent analysis for a patent that has received patent term adjustment must be based on the expiration date of the patent after the patent term adjustment has been added, may negatively impact the term of Alpha Modus patents. Finally, Europes new Unitary Patent system and Unified Patent Court (the UPC) may present uncertainties for Alpha Modus ability to protect and enforce patent rights against competitors in Europe. In 2012, the European Patent Package (the EU Patent Package), regulations were passed with the goal of providing a single pan-European Unitary Patent system and a new UPC for litigation involving European patents. Implementation of the EU Patent Package occurred in June 2023. Under the UPC, all European patents, including those issued prior to ratification of the European Patent Package, will by default automatically fall under the jurisdiction of the UPC. The UPC will provide Alpha Modus competitors with a new forum to centrally revoke European patents and allow for the possibility of a competitor to obtain pan-European injunctions. It will be several years before Alpha Modus will understand the scope of patent rights that will be recognized and the strength of patent remedies that will be provided by the UPC. Under the EU Patent Package, Alpha Modus will have the right to opt patents out of the UPC over the first seven years of the courts existence, but doing so may preclude Alpha Modus from realizing the benefits of the new unified court. **Patent litigation is inherently risky because courts may find Alpha Modus patents invalid, not infringed, or unenforceable, and the USPTO, or other relevant patent office, may either invalidate Alpha Modus patents or materially narrow the scope of their claims during the course of a reexamination, opposition or other such proceeding.** Patent litigation is inherently risky and may result in the invalidation of Alpha Modus patents, even if it is the plaintiff in an underlying action. It is difficult to predict the outcome of patent enforcement litigation at any level. Although Alpha Modus intends to diligently pursue enforcement litigation, it cannot predict with significant reliability the decisions made by juries and trial courts. At the trial level, it is often difficult for juries and trial judges to understand complex, patented technologies, and as a result, there is a higher rate of successful appeals in patent enforcement litigation than more standard business litigation. The defendant to any case Alpha Modus brings may file as many appeals as allowed by right, including to District Court, the Federal Circuit and the Supreme Court. Such appeals are expensive and time-consuming, and the outcomes of such appeals are sometimes unpredictable, resulting in increased costs and reduced or delayed revenue which could have a material adverse effect on Alpha Modus results of operations and financial condition. These appeals may also result in the invalidation of Alpha Modus patents, which may have an adverse impact on Alpha Modus operations and financial performance. | 27 | | **The enforcement of Alpha Modus intellectual property rights depends in part upon its ability to retain the best legal counsel in order to achieve favorable outcomes from litigation, and Alpha Modus desired legal counsel may become conflicted out of such representation.** The success of Alpha Modus intellectual property enforcement efforts will depend in part upon its ability to retain the best legal counsel to coordinate its patent infringement litigation matters. As Alpha Modus intellectual property business evolves, Alpha Modus expects that it will become more difficult to find the best legal counsel to handle all of its patent enforcement matters due in part to potential conflicts of interest. This is because, from time to time, the counterparties to litigation matters have previously engaged world class law firms that are specialized in connection with the industries of the patents at issue in such matters. These previous engagements may have, or may in the future, result in these firms being conflicted out of representing us. In addition, counterparties in Alpha Modus patent litigation matters may devote a substantial amount of resources to avoid or limit a finding that they are liable for infringing on Alpha Modus patents or, in the event liability is found, to avoid or limit the amount of associated damages. There is a risk these counterparties may file inter-partes reviews, reexaminations or other proceedings with the USPTO or other government agencies in the United States or abroad in an attempt to invalidate, narrow the scope or render unenforceable the patents Alpha Modus owns or controls. If this were to occur, it may have a significant negative impact on Alpha Modus intellectual property. The inability to retain the best legal counsel to represent Alpha Modus in infringement actions may result in unfavorable or adverse outcomes, which may result in losses, exhaustion of financial resources or other adverse effects which could encumber Alpha Modus ability to effectively operate its business or execute its business strategy. Alpha Modus cannot provide any assurance that any prospective patent prosecution or litigation matters will result in a favorable outcome. **Alpha Modus may experience delays in successful prosecution, enforcement, and licensing of its patent portfolio.** The value of Alpha Modus patent portfolios is dependent upon the issuance of patents in a timely manner. More patent applications are filed each year. Alpha Modus believes this increase in patent applications has resulted in longer delays in obtaining approval of pending patent applications. If the USPTO experiences reductions in funding, it could have an adverse impact on the cost of processing pending patent applications and the value of those pending patent applications, negatively impacting the value of Alpha Modus patent applications. Further, reductions in funding from Congress could result in higher patent application filing and maintenance fees charged by the USPTO, causing an increase in Alpha Modus expenses. Application delays could cause delays in recognizing revenue from these patents and could cause Alpha Modus to miss opportunities to license patents before other competing technologies are developed or introduced into the market. After prosecuting Alpha Modus patents, Alpha Modus intellectual property business can incur significant general and administrative and legal expenses prior to entering into license agreements and generating license revenues. Alpha Modus plans to spend considerable resources educating prospective licensees on the benefits of a license arrangement with it. As such, Alpha Modus may incur significant losses in any particular period before any associated revenue stream begins. Alpha Modus believes that it will frequently be engaged in litigation to enforce its patents, protect its trade secrets, or determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Enforcement proceedings are typically protracted and complex. The costs are typically substantial, and the outcomes are unpredictable. Enforcement actions divert managerial, technical, legal and financial resources from business operations, and there are no assurances that such enforcement actions will result in favorable results for Alpha Modus. | 28 | | Patent litigation schedules in general, and in particular trial dates, are subject to routine adjustment, and in most cases delay, as courts adjust their calendars or respond to requests from one or more parties. Trial dates often are rescheduled by the court for various reasons that are often unrelated to the underlying patent assets and typically for reasons that are beyond our control. As a result, to the extent such events are an indicator of possible future revenue opportunities for Alpha Modus, or other outcome determinative events, they may and often do change which can result in delay of the expected scheduled event. Any such delay could be significant and could affect the corresponding future revenue opportunities, thus adversely impacting Alpha Modus business, results of operations and financial condition. Further, federal courts are becoming more crowded, and as a result, patent enforcement litigation is taking longer. Alpha Modus anticipated patent enforcement actions are expected to be almost exclusively prosecuted in federal court. Federal trial courts that hear patent enforcement actions also hear criminal cases. Criminal cases tend to take priority over patent enforcement actions. As a result, it is difficult to predict the length of time it will take to complete an enforcement action. Moreover, Alpha Modus believes there is a trend in increasing numbers of civil lawsuits and criminal proceedings before federal judges, and, as a result, it believes that the risk of delays in patent enforcement actions will have a greater negative effect on Alpha Modus business in the future unless this trend changes. **Because Alpha Modus patents are expected to expire in 2034-2037, its continued operations beyond those dates will depend on its ability to obtain additional patents with later expiration dates.** Alpha Modus current patents are expected to expire in 2034-2037. If Alpha Modus does not obtain patents or other intellectual property with expiration dates that extend beyond those years, its operations would be adversely affected. **Alpha Modus lack of patent enforcement and licensing experience could adversely affect its operations.** Alpha Modus has limited patent enforcement experience and cannot provide any assurance that it will be able to effectively manage patent enforcement efforts. Patent enforcement litigation is complex and needs to be closely and carefully managed. Because Alpha Modus does not have experience in managing patent enforcement efforts, it may not do so effectively, and its enforcement efforts could be harmed as a result. Similarly, Alpha Modus has limited experience managing intellectual property licensing programs, and this lack of experience could impair its ability to execute its business plans. **Alpha Modus may not be able to protect its intellectual property rights throughout the world.** Filing, prosecuting, and defending patents in all countries throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive, and intellectual property rights in some countries outside the United States could be less extensive than those in the United States. Alpha Modus may not choose, or be able, to obtain patent protection outside the United States. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as federal and state laws in the United States, even in jurisdictions where Alpha Modus does pursue patent protection. Consequently, Alpha Modus may not be able to prevent third parties from practicing its intellectual property in all countries outside the United States, even in jurisdictions where it does pursue patent protection. Competitors may use Alpha Modus technologies in jurisdictions where it has not pursued and obtained patent protection and, further, may export otherwise infringing products to territories where Alpha Modus has patent protection, but enforcement is not as strong as that in the United States. These products may compete with Alpha Modus technologies. Alpha Modus patents or other intellectual property rights may not be effective or sufficient to prevent them from competing. Many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions. The legal systems of certain countries, particularly certain developing countries, do not favor the enforcement of patents, trade secrets, and other intellectual property protection, particularly those relating to technology products, which could make it difficult for Alpha Modus to stop infringement of its intellectual property. Proceedings to enforce patent rights in foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial costs and divert Alpha Modus efforts and attention from other aspects of its business, could put its patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and patent applications at risk of not issuing, and could provoke third parties to assert claims against it. Alpha Modus may not prevail in any lawsuits that it initiates, and the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, may not be commercially meaningful. Accordingly, Alpha Modus efforts to enforce intellectual property rights around the world may be inadequate to obtain a significant commercial advantage from its intellectual property. | 29 | | Many countries have compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner may be compelled to grant licenses to third parties. In addition, many countries limit the enforceability of patents against government agencies or government contractors. In these countries, the patent owner may have limited remedies, which could materially diminish the value of such patent. If Alpha Modus is forced to grant a license to third parties with respect to any of its patents, its competitive position may be impaired, and its business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects may be adversely affected. **Risks Related to Being a Public Company** **Alpha Modus is incurring increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and its management will devote substantial time to compliance with its public company responsibilities and corporate governance practices.** Alpha Modus is incurring significant legal, accounting and other expenses that it did not incur as a private company, and these expenses may increase more after Alpha Modus is no longer an emerging growth company, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act. As a public company, Alpha Modus is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the Dodd-Frank Act, as well as rules adopted, and to be adopted, by the SEC and Nasdaq, and other applicable securities rules and regulations, which impose various requirements on public companies, including the establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and changes in corporate governance practices. Alpha Modus management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these public company requirements. Moreover, Alpha Modus expects these rules and regulations to substantially increase its legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. The increased costs will increase Alpha Modus operating loss. Alpha Modus may need to hire additional legal, accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge and maintain an internal audit function. In addition, changing laws, regulations, and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs, and making some activities more time consuming. These laws, regulations, and standards are subject to varying interpretations and may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. Alpha Modus intends to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations, and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of managements time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If Alpha Modus efforts to comply with new laws, regulations, and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to their application and practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against Alpha Modus and its business may be adversely affected. The rules and regulations applicable to public companies make it more expensive for Alpha Modus to obtain and maintain director and officer liability insurance, and Alpha Modus may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for Alpha Modus to attract and retain qualified members of its board of directors, particularly to serve on Alpha Modus audit committee and compensation committee, and qualified executive officers. Alpha Modus cannot predict or estimate the amount or timing of additional costs it may incur to respond to these requirements. The impact of these requirements could also make it more difficult for Alpha Modus to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on its board of directors, its board committees or as executive officers. | 30 | | **Alpha Modus management team has limited experience managing a Nasdaq-listed public company.** Alpha Modus management team has limited experience managing a Nasdaq-listed public company, interacting with public company investors and complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to exchange-listed public companies. Alpha Modus management team may not successfully or efficiently manage their new roles and responsibilities. Alpha Modus transition to being a public company subjects it to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under the federal securities laws and the continuous scrutiny of securities analysts and investors. These new obligations and constituents will require significant attention from Alpha Modus senior management and could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of Alpha Modus business, which could adversely affect Alpha Modus business, financial condition, and operating results. **If we were deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the Investment Company Act), we may be required to liquidate the Company.** There is currently uncertainty concerning the applicability of the Investment Company Act to a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), and we, as a former SPAC, may in the future be subject to a claim that we have been operating as an unregistered investment company. If we are deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we may be required to liquidate. If we are required to liquidate, our investors would not be able to realize the benefits of owning stock in a successor operating business, including the potential appreciation in the value of our stock and warrants following such a transaction, and our warrants would expire worthless. Upon closing our initial IPO in September 2021, the net proceeds of the IPO and of a private offering of warrants were placed in a trust account located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in U.S. government securities within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invested 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 trust account as described below. The longer that the funds in the trust account were held in short-term U.S. government securities or in money market funds invested exclusively in such securities, the greater the risk that we may be considered an unregistered investment company, in which case we would be required to register as an investment company with the SEC. **Alpha Modus is a controlled company within the meaning of the listing rules of Nasdaq and, as a result, can rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that provide protection to shareholders of other companies.** Alpha Modus CEO, William Alessi, is deemed to beneficially own or control in excess of ___% of Alpha Modus common stock and 90% of Alpha Modus preferred stock. As a result, Alpha Modus is deemed to be a controlled company as defined under the listing rules of Nasdaq. Under Nasdaq listing rules, controlled companies are companies of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, a group, or another company. For as long as Alpha Modus remains a controlled company, Alpha Modus will be permitted to elect to rely on certain exemptions from Nasdaqs corporate governance rules, including the following: | | | an exemption from the rule that a majority of its board of directors must be independent directors; | | | | | | | | | | an exemption from the rule that its compensation committee be composed entirely of independent directors; | | | | | | | | | | an exemption from the rule that its director nominees must be selected or recommended solely by independent directors or a nominating committee composed solely of independent directors; | | Although Alpha Modus does not currently intend for Alpha Modus to rely on the controlled company exemptions to Nasdaqs corporate governance rules, Alpha Modus could elect to rely on these exemptions in the future. If it elected to rely on those controlled company exemptions, a majority of the members of Alpha Modus board of directors might not be independent directors, its nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees might not consist entirely of independent directors, and you would not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of Nasdaqs corporate governance rules. | 31 | | **Alpha Modus may issue additional shares of common or preferred stock, which would dilute the interests of stockholders and likely present other risks.** Alpha Modus may issue additional shares of common or preferred stock for financing or other reasons. The issuance of additional shares of common or preferred stock: | | | may significantly dilute the equity interest of existing investors; | | | | | | | | | | may subordinate the rights of holders of common stock if preferred stock is issued with rights senior to those afforded to holders of common stock; | | | | | | | | | | could cause a change in control if a substantial number of common stock is issued, which may affect, among other things, Alpha Modus ability to use its net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of Alpha Modus present officers and directors; and | | | | | | | | | | may adversely affect prevailing market prices for Alpha Modus common stock and/or warrants. | | **We may amend the terms of the warrants in a manner that may be adverse to holders of public warrants with the approval by the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding public warrants. As a result, the exercise price of the warrants could be increased, the exercise period could be shortened and the number of shares of our Class A common stock purchasable upon exercise of a warrant could be decreased, all without holder approval.** Our warrants are issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and us. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least a majority of the then-outstanding public warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of public warrants. Accordingly, we may amend the terms of the public warrants in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding public warrants approve of such amendment. Although our ability to amend the terms of the public warrants with the consent of at least a majority of the then-outstanding public warrants is unlimited, examples of such amendments could be amendments to, among other things, increase the exercise price of the warrants, convert the warrants into cash or stock, shorten the exercise period or decrease the number of shares of our Class A common stock purchasable upon exercise of a warrant. **Alpha Modus may redeem unexpired Public Warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to holders, thereby making the Public Warrants worthless.** Alpha Modus will have the ability to redeem outstanding Public Warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, provided that the last reported sales price of Alpha Modus common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date Alpha Modus gives notice of redemption. If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by Alpha Modus, Alpha Modus may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. Redemption of the outstanding Public Warrants could force holders of the warrants (i) to exercise the Public Warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for them to do so, (ii) to sell the Public Warrants at the then-current market price when they might otherwise wish to hold their Public Warrants or (iii) to accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding Public Warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of the Public Warrants. As of March 31, 2025, the sales price of the Class A common stock did not exceed the threshold that would allow Alpha Modus to redeem the Public Warrants. | 32 | | **We previously believed that we may have been subject to the Excise Tax included in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 in connection with redemptions of our Common Stock after December 31, 2022. Based on final regulations released by the Treasury and IRS, we no longer believe that we are subject to the Excise Tax, but if that conclusion is not correct, we could be subject to the Excise Tax.** On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the IRA), which, among other things, imposes a 1% excise tax on any publicly traded domestic corporation that repurchases its stock after December 31, 2022 (the Excise Tax). The Excise Tax is imposed on the fair market value of the repurchased stock, with certain exceptions. Because we are a Delaware corporation and because our securities trade on Nasdaq, we are a covered corporation within the meaning of the Inflation Reduction Act. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the Treasury) was given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the Excise Tax. 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). 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. These final regulations specifically incorporate transition relief for mandatorily redeemable stock and for stock subject by its terms to a unilateral put option of the holder, if such stock was outstanding prior to August 16, 2022. While we previously believed that the Excise Tax may have applied to redemptions of our Class A common stock in connection with our Business Combination completed in 2024, based on the November 24, 2025, final regulations described above, we no longer believe the Excise Tax applies the Companys prior common stock redemptions, since those redemptions occurred solely with respect to redeemable stock issued by the Company in its original IPO in September 2021, such that those redemptions are not treated as stock repurchases for purposes of IRC Section 4501 because that stock was outstanding prior to August 16, 2022. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2025, the Companys financial statements reflect the removal of the Excise Tax liability of $2,348,302. If our conclusions regarding the applicability of the transition relief provided by the November 24, 2025, final regulations described above are incorrect, we could still be subject to liability arising from the Excise Tax. **We do not expect that we will pay dividends in the foreseeable future.** We expect that we will retain most, if not all, of our available funds and any future earnings to fund our operations and the development and growth of our business. As a result, we do not expect that we will pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. The Companys board of directors will have complete discretion as to whether to distribute dividends. Even if the board of directors decides to declare and pay dividends, the timing, amount, and form of such dividends, if any, will depend on the future results of operations and cash flow, capital requirements and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by the Company from its subsidiaries, the Companys financial condition, contractual restrictions, and other factors deemed relevant by the board of directors. There is no guarantee that the shares of Company common stock will appreciate in value or that the trading price of the shares will not decline. Holders of the Company common stock should not rely on an investment in shares of common stock as a source for any future dividend income. **The existence of indemnification rights to the Companys directors, officers, and employees may result in substantial expenditures by the Combined Company and may discourage lawsuits against its directors, officers, and employees.** The Amended and Restated Charter contains indemnification provisions obligating the Company to provide indemnification for its directors, officers, and employees in certain circumstances. Such indemnification obligations could result in the Company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against its directors, executive officers, and employees, which it may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage the Company from bringing a lawsuit against its directors and executive officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by its stockholders against its directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit the Company and its stockholders. | 33 | | **If the Company fails to develop or maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, it may not be able to accurately report its financial results or prevent financial fraud. As a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in its financial reporting.** The Company is subject to the risk that its independent registered public accounting firm could communicate to its board of directors that it has deficiencies in its internal control structure that they consider to be significant deficiencies. A significant deficiency is defined as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the entitys financial statements will not be prevented or detected by the entitys internal controls. Effective internal control is necessary to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. If the Company cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, it could be subject to regulatory action or other litigation and its operating results could be harmed. The Companys intended business, operations, and accounting are expected to be substantially more complex than they have been to date. It may be time consuming, difficult, and costly for the Company to develop and implement the internal control and reporting procedures required by the Exchange Act. the Company may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal control, and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internal control and reporting procedures. If the Company is unable to comply with the internal control over financial reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, then it may not be able to obtain the required independent accountant certifications, which may preclude it from keeping its filings current with the SEC. Further, a material weakness in the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting could result in an increased chance of fraud and the loss of customers, reduce the Companys ability to obtain financing, and require additional expenditures to comply with these requirements, each of which could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, and financial condition. If the Company is unable to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, including as applicable standards governing internal control are modified, supplemented, or amended from time to time, the Company may not be able to ensure that it can conclude on an ongoing basis that it has effective internal control over financial reporting. Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could cause the Company to face regulatory action and cause investors to lose confidence in its reported financial information, either of which could adversely affect the value of the Company common stock. **Risks Related to Ownership of Alpha Modus Shares** **The Amended and Restated Charter requires, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that derivative actions brought in the Companys name, as applicable, against their respective directors, officers, other employees or stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty and other similar actions may be brought only in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware, which may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against the Companys directors, officers, other employees or stockholders, as applicable.** The Amended and Restated Charter requires, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that derivative actions brought in Alpha Modus name, as applicable, against their respective directors, officers, other employees or stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty and other similar actions may be brought only in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware or, if the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in the federal district court of the State of Delaware. This exclusive forum provision may limit a stockholders ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with Alpha Modus, or any of their respective directors, officers, other employees or stockholders, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims, although their respective stockholders will not be deemed to have waived their compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. However, there is no assurance that a court would enforce the choice of forum provision contained in the Amended and Restated Charter. If a court were to find such provision to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, Alpha Modus may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm their business, operating results and financial condition. | 34 | | The Amended and Restated Charter provides that the exclusive forum provision will be applicable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The Amended and Restated Charter also provides that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the federal district courts of the United States will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. The exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, federal courts will have exclusive jurisdiction over suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, both state and federal courts have jurisdiction to entertain such claims. As noted above, the Amended and Restated Charter provides that the federal district courts of the United States will be, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action under the Securities Act. Due to the concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts created by Section 22 of the Securities Act over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce the exclusive form provision. Investors also cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. **Anti-takeover provisions contained in the Amended and Restated Charter and the Companys Bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt.** The Amended and Restated Charter and the Companys Bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control or changes in our management without the consent of our board of directors. These provisions include: | | | no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates; | | | | | | | | | | the exclusive right of our board of directors to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the board of directors or the resignation, death, or removal of a director with or without cause by stockholders, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on our board of directors; | | | | | | | | | | the ability of our board of directors to determine whether to issue shares of our preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquirer; | | | | | | | | | | a prohibition on stockholder action by written consent, which forces stockholder action to be taken at an annual or special meeting of our stockholders; | | | | | | | | | | the requirement that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by the board of directors, which may delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors; | | | | | | | | | | limiting the liability of, and providing indemnification to, our directors and officers; | | | | | | | | | | controlling the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of stockholder meetings; | | | 35 | | | | | providing for a staggered board, in which the members of the board of directors are divided into three classes to serve for a period of three years from the date of their respective appointment or election; | | | | | | | | | | granting the ability to remove directors with cause by the affirmative vote of 66 23% in voting power of the outstanding shares of Alpha Modus common stock entitled to vote thereon; | | | | | | | | | | requiring the affirmative vote of at least 66 23% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Alpha Modus entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, to amend the Proposed Bylaws or certain sections of the Amended and Restated Charter; and | | | | | | | | | | advance notice procedures that stockholders must comply with in order to nominate candidates to Alpha Modus Board or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders meeting, which may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirers own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of Alpha Modus. | | These provisions, alone or together, could delay hostile takeovers and changes in control of Alpha Modus or changes in Alpha Modus Board and Alpha Modus management. As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to provisions of Delaware law, including Section 203 of the DGCL, which prevents some stockholders holding more than 15% of our outstanding common stock from engaging in certain business combinations without approval of the holders of substantially all of Alpha Modus common stock. Any provision of Amended and Restated Charter, the Proposed Bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of Alpha Modus common stock and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for Alpha Modus common stock. **Claims for indemnification by Alpha Modus directors and officers may reduce Alpha Modus available funds to satisfy successful third-party claims against Alpha Modus and may reduce the amount of money available to Alpha Modus.** The Companys Bylaws provide that Alpha Modus will indemnify its directors and officers, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. In addition, as permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, the Bylaws and indemnification agreements that the Company has entered into with its directors and officers provide that: | | | Alpha Modus will indemnify its directors and officers for serving Alpha Modus in those capacities or for serving other business enterprises at its request, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Delaware law provides that a corporation may indemnify such person if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the registrant and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such persons conduct was unlawful; | | | | | | | | | | Alpha Modus may, in its discretion, indemnify employees and agents in those circumstances where indemnification is permitted by applicable law; | | | | | | | | | | Alpha Modus will be required to advance expenses, as incurred, to its directors and officers in connection with defending a proceeding, except that such directors or officers shall undertake to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification; | | | | | | | | | | Alpha Modus will not be obligated pursuant to its Proposed Bylaws to indemnify a person with respect to proceedings initiated by that person against Alpha Modus or its other indemnitees, except with respect to proceedings authorized by its board of directors or brought to enforce a right to indemnification; and | | | | | | | | | | the rights conferred in the Proposed Bylaws are not exclusive, and Alpha Modus is authorized to enter into indemnification agreements with its directors, officers, employees and agents and to obtain insurance to indemnify such persons. | | | 36 | | **If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about Alpha Modus, its business, or its market, or if they change their recommendations regarding Alpha Modus securities adversely, the price and trading volume of Alpha Modus securities could decline.** The trading market for Alpha Modus securities will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about Alpha Modus, its business, market or competitors. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, to the knowledge of management, and may never, publish research on Alpha Modus. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of Alpha Modus, Alpha Modus share price and trading volume would likely be negatively impacted. If any of the analysts who may cover Alpha Modus change their recommendation regarding Alpha Modus common stock adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about Alpha Modus competitors, the price of shares of Alpha Modus common stock would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover Alpha Modus were to cease coverage of Alpha Modus or fail to regularly publish reports on it, Alpha Modus could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause its share price or trading volume to decline. **The Companys Series C Preferred Stock, and the future issuances of other debt securities and equity securities, may adversely affect us, including the market price of the Companys common stock and be dilutive to existing stockholders.** We issued 7,500,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock in the Business Combination. The Series C Preferred Stock will generally be convertible at any time 18 months following the Closing of the Business Combination and may convert in some circumstances into more than 7,500,000 shares of common stock. Conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock into common Stock will be dilutive to existing stockholders and may reduce the market price of common stock. For example, if there has never been a Trigger Event (as defined below), shares of Series C Preferred Stock, which have a deemed face value of $10.00 per share (the Face Value) will convert into shares of common stock at the lesser of the Face Value or the average of the 5 lowest closing prices of common stock during the 10 trading days preceding conversion. However, following a following any Trigger Event, such conversion shall be at the lesser of the Face Value or 50.0% of the average of the lowest closing prices during the 10 trading days preceding conversion. Trigger Event generally means (i) the Companys failure to deliver conversion shares when required; (ii) violation of or failure to timely perform any covenant in the designation of the rights of the Series C Preferred Stock; (iii) suspension from trading or delisting from the Companys principal trading exchange or market; (iv) notification of an intention not to comply with a conversion notice; (v) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation or similar proceedings; (vi) the appointment of a custodian, receiver or similar official for the Company; (vii) judgments in excess of $500,000 which are not stayed or satisfied within 30 days of entry; (viii) failure to comply with reporting requirements of Securities Exchange Act; (ix) any regulatory, administrative or enforcement proceeding is initiated against IAC; or (x) any material provision of the designation of the rights of the Series C Preferred Stock ceases to be valid or is contested. As a result, regardless of whether a Trigger Event occurs, if the trading price of the Companys common stock is less than $10.00/share at the time of conversion, the Series C Preferred Stock will generally convert into more than 7,500,000 shares, and if the trading price is substantially lower than $10.00/share or a Trigger Event occurs, into substantially more than 7,500,000 shares. Shares of Series C Preferred Stock will rank senior to the Companys common stock with respect to rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution. The Series C Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $10.00 per share or an aggregate liquidation preference of $75,000,000 over holders of common stock. This preference, and conversion rights associated with the Series C Preferred Stock, may adversely affect us and reduce returns for holders, or the market price, of the Companys common stock. Additionally, we have issued debt instruments that permit the holders to convert their Company debt into Company common stock, and any such shares of common stock issued upon conversion would be dilutive to existing stockholders and when sold into the public markets may adversely the market price of the Companys common stock. In the future, we may also incur debt or issue other equity ranking senior to the Companys common stock, like the Series C Preferred Stock. Those securities could generally have priority upon liquidation. Such securities also may be governed by an indenture or other instrument containing covenants restricting our operating flexibility. Additionally, any convertible or exchangeable securities that we issue in the future may have rights, preferences and privileges more favorable than those of the Companys common stock. Because our decision to issue debt or equity in the future will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, nature or success of our future capital raising efforts. As a result, future capital-raising efforts may reduce the market price of the Companys common stock and be dilutive to existing stockholders. | 37 | | **There can be no assurance that the Companys common stock will continue to be so listed, or that we will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq.** There can be no assurance that the Companys common stock will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq, or that we will be able to comply with Nasdaqs continued listing standards. If Nasdaq delists Alpha Modus shares from trading on its exchange for failure to meet Nasdaqs listing standards, Alpha Modus and its stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences including, but not limited to: | | | a limited availability of market quotations for Alpha Modus securities; | | | | | reduced liquidity for Alpha Modus securities; | | | | | | | | | | a determination that Alpha Modus common stock is a penny stock which will require brokers trading in Alpha Modus common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for Alpha Modus common stock; | | | | | | | | | | a limited amount of analyst coverage; and | | | | | | | | | | a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future. | | The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as covered securities. Because Alpha Modus common stock and Public Warrants are listed on Nasdaq, they are covered securities. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of our securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. While we are not aware of a state, other than the State of Idaho, having used these powers to prohibit or restrict the sale of securities issued by blank check companies, certain state securities regulators view blank check companies unfavorably and might use these powers, or threaten to use these powers, to hinder the sale of securities of blank check companies in their states. Further, if Alpha Modus was no longer listed on Nasdaq, Alpha Modus securities would not be covered securities and Alpha Modus would be subject to regulation in each state in which Alpha Modus offers its securities. **An active market for Alpha Modus securities may not develop, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of Alpha Modus securities.** The price of Alpha Modus securities may vary significantly due to factors specific to Alpha Modus as well as to general market or economic conditions. Furthermore, an active trading market for Alpha Modus securities may never develop or, if developed, it may not be sustained. Holders of Alpha Modus securities may be unable to sell their securities unless a market can be established and sustained. **The market price of the Companys common stock may decline.** Fluctuations in the price of the Companys securities could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. Prior to the Business Combination, there has not been an active public market for the Companys common stock. If an active market for Alpha Modus securities develops and continues, the trading price of Alpha Modus securities in the future could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond Alpha Modus control. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on your investment in Alpha Modus securities and Alpha Modus securities may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid for them. In such circumstances, the trading price of Alpha Modus securities may not recover and may experience a further decline. The market price of Alpha Modus common stock may decline for a number of other reasons including if: | | | investors react negatively to the prospects of Alpha Modus business operations, results, and prospects; | | | | | | | | | | actual or anticipated fluctuations in Alpha Modus quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to it; | | | | | | | | | | changes in the markets expectations about Alpha Modus operating results; | | | | | | | | | | success of competitors; | | | | | | | | | | changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning Alpha Modus or the AI industry in general; | | | | | | | | | | operating and share price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to Alpha Modus; | | | | | | | | | | Alpha Modus ability to market new and enhanced products and technologies on a timely basis; | | | | | | | | | | changes in laws and regulations affecting Alpha Modus business; | | | | | | | | | | Alpha Modus ability to meet compliance requirements; | | | 38 | | | | | commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving Alpha Modus; | | | | | | | | | | changes in Alpha Modus capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt; | | | | | | | | | | the volume of Alpha Modus shares of common stock available for public sale; or | | | | | | | | | | any major change in Alpha Modus Board or management. | | **Future sales, or the perception of future sales, by Alpha Modus or its stockholders in the public market could cause the market price for Alpha Modus common stock to decline.** The sale of shares of Alpha Modus common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could harm the prevailing market price of shares of Alpha Modus common stock. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for Alpha Modus to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that it deems appropriate. All shares currently held by public stockholders and all of the shares issued in the Business Combination to existing Alpha Modus stockholders are freely tradable without registration under the Securities Act, and without restriction by persons other than Alpha Modus affiliates (as defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, Rule 144), including Alpha Modus directors, executive officers and other affiliates. In the future, Alpha Modus may also issue its securities in connection with investments or acquisitions. The amount of shares of Alpha Modus common stock issued in connection with an investment or acquisition could constitute a material portion of the then-outstanding shares of Alpha Modus common stock. Any issuance of additional securities in connection with investments or acquisitions may result in additional dilution to Alpha Modus stockholders. **Alpha Modus failure to meet the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq could result in a delisting of its Securities.** On January 6, 2025, Alpha Modus received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (Nasdaq) indicating that the Company no longer met the minimum market value of publicly held shares (MVPHS) of $15,000,000 required by Nasdaqs listing rules to be listed on the Nasdaq Global Market. On February 5, 2025, Alpha Modus received another written notice from Nasdaq indicating that the Company no longer met the minimum market value of listed securities (MVLS) of $50,000,000 required by Nasdaqs listing rules to be listed on the Nasdaq Global Market. On July 10, 2025, Nasdaq approved the Companys application to transfer its securities listings from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market, and the Companys securities listings were transferred to the Nasdaq Capital Market on July 14, 2025. The listing transfer resolved the MVPHS and MVLS deficiencies. On January 12, 2026, the Company received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq indicating that the Company was not in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (the Minimum Bid Price Requirement). The Nasdaq listing rules require listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, and, based upon the closing bid price of the Companys common stock for the prior 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer met this requirement. The Nasdaq rules provide the Company a compliance period of 180 calendar days from the date of the notice (or until July 13, 2026) in which to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If Alpha Modus is unable to remain in compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Markets listing rules, Nasdaq may take steps to delist the Companys securities. Such a delisting would likely have a negative effect on the price of the securities and would impair your ability to sell or purchase the securities when you wish to do so. In the event of a delisting, Alpha Modus can provide no assurance that any action taken by it to restore compliance with listing requirements would allow its securities to become listed again, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of its securities, prevent its securities from dropping below the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement or prevent future non-compliance with Nasdaqs listing requirements. Additionally, if Alpha Modus securities are not listed on, or become delisted from, Nasdaq for any reason, and are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, an inter-dealer automated quotation system for equity securities that is not a national securities exchange, the liquidity and price of our securities may be more limited than if we were quoted or listed on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange. You may be unable to sell your securities unless a market can be established or sustained. | 39 | | **Alpha Modus qualifies as an emerging growth company as well as a smaller reporting company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if Alpha Modus takes advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies or smaller reporting companies, this could make Alpha Modus securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare Alpha Modus performance with other public companies.** Alpha Modus qualifies as an emerging growth company within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such, Alpha Modus may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies for as long as Alpha Modus continues to be an emerging growth company, including, but not limited to, (i) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (ii) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in Alpha Modus periodic reports and proxy statements and (iii) exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. As a result, Alpha Modus stockholders may not have access to certain information they may deem important. Alpha Modus will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which the market value of Alpha Modus common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of that years second fiscal quarter, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which Alpha Modus has total annual gross revenue of $1.07 billion or more during such fiscal year (as indexed for inflation), (iii) the date on which Alpha Modus has issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in the prior three-year period or (iv) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common stock in the IAC IPO. Investors may find Alpha Modus securities less attractive because Alpha Modus will rely on these exemptions. Alpha Modus cannot predict whether investors will find its securities less attractive because it will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find Alpha Modus securities less attractive as a result of its reliance on these exemptions, the trading prices of Alpha Modus securities may be lower than they otherwise would be, there may be a less active trading market for its securities and the trading prices of its securities may be more volatile. 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 an election to opt out is irrevocable. We have 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, we, 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 Alpha Modus financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. Additionally, Alpha Modus will qualify as a smaller reporting company as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. Alpha Modus will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (i) the market value of Alpha Modus common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the end of that years second fiscal quarter, or (ii) its annual revenues exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of Alpha Modus common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of that years second fiscal quarter. To the extent Alpha Modus takes advantage of such reduced disclosure obligations, it may also make comparison of its financial statements with other public companies difficult or impossible. **Compliance obligations under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may make it more difficult for us to effectuate our initial business combination, require substantial financial and management resources, and increase the time and costs of completing an initial business combination.** Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we evaluate and report on our system of internal controls. Only in the event we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer, and no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, will we be required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement on our internal control over financial reporting. Further, for as long as we remain an emerging growth company, we will not be required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement on our internal control over financial reporting. The fact that we are a blank check company makes compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act particularly burdensome on us as compared to other public companies because a target business with which we seek to complete our initial business combination may not be in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding adequacy of its internal controls. The development of the internal control of any such entity to achieve compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may increase the time and costs necessary to complete any such business combination. We have identified material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. This material weakness could continue to adversely affect our ability to report our results of operations and financial condition accurately and in a timely manner. We have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, because material weaknesses existed in our internal control over financial reporting. We have taken some measures to remediate the material weaknesses described therein; however, if we are unable to remediate our material weaknesses in a timely manner or we identify additional material weaknesses, we may be unable to provide required financial information in a timely and reliable manner and we may incorrectly report financial information. Likewise, if our financial statements are not filed on a timely basis, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the stock exchange on which our Class A common stock is listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities. Failure to timely file will cause us to be ineligible to utilize short form registration statements on Form S-3 or, which may impair our ability to obtain capital in a timely fashion to execute our business strategies or issue shares to effect an acquisition. In either case, the existence of material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting could adversely affect our business and our reputation or investor perceptions of us, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock. In addition, we will incur additional costs to remediate material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. | 40 | | Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our management is likewise required, on a quarterly basis, to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and to disclose any changes and material weaknesses identified through such evaluation of those internal controls. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We can give no assurance that the measures we have taken and plan to take in the future will remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting or that any additional material weaknesses or restatements of financial results will not arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting or circumvention of these controls. In addition, even if we are successful in strengthening our controls and procedures, in the future those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or errors or to facilitate the fair presentation of our financial statements. **Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.** None. **Item 1C. Cybersecurity.** Our board of directors and senior management recognize the critical importance of maintaining the trust and confidence of our clients, business partners and employees. Our management, led by our Chief Executive Officer, is actively involved in oversight of our risk management efforts, and cybersecurity represents an important component of the Companys overall approach to enterprise risk management (ERM). Our cybersecurity processes and practices are fully integrated into the Companys ERM efforts. In general, we seek to address cybersecurity risks through a cross-functional approach that is focused on preserving the confidentiality, security and availability of the information that we collect and store by identifying, preventing and mitigating cybersecurity threats and effectively responding to cybersecurity incidents when they occur. **Risk Management and Strategy** As one of the critical elements of our overall ERM approach, our cybersecurity efforts are focused on the following key areas: | | | Governance: Management oversees cybersecurity risk mitigation and reports to the board of directors any cybersecurity incidents. | | | | | | | | | | Collaborative Approach: We have implemented a cross-functional approach to identifying, preventing and mitigating cybersecurity threats and incidents, while also implementing controls and procedures that provide for the prompt escalation of certain cybersecurity incidents so that decisions regarding the public disclosure and reporting of such incidents can be made by management in a timely manner. | | | | | | | | | | Technical Safeguards: We deploy technical safeguards that are designed to protect our information systems from cybersecurity threats, including firewalls, intrusion prevention and detection systems, anti-virus and anti-malware functionality and access controls, which are evaluated and improved through vulnerability assessments and cybersecurity threat intelligence. | | We have not engaged third-party service providers to conduct evaluations of our security controls, independent audits or consulting on best practices to address new challenges. While we have not experienced any cybersecurity threats in the past in the normal course of business, in the future, we may not be successful in preventing or mitigating a cybersecurity incident that could have a material adverse effect on us. **Item 2. Properties.** The Companys headquarters is a virtual facility with an address in Cornelius, North Carolina. Having a virtual headquarters has allowed Alpha Modus to operate with minimal overhead that was not needed to support its current staff. Operations, research and development functions are currently conducted virtually, and Alpha Modus believes its current virtual facility is adequate and suitable for its current needs. Alpha Modus plans to expand licensing the 571 family of patents through a small internal sales team will require Alpha Modus to secure a suitable alternative space to accommodate its operations. Alpha Modus does not own any real property. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Companys facility expenses were $0 and $0, respectively. **Item 3. Legal Proceedings.** From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of commercial operations in the normal course of business. As of the date of this report, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the Companys results of operations except as disclosed in Item 1 above in the subsection *Legal Proceedings*, which disclosure is incorporated by reference into this Item 3. **Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures** Not Applicable. | 41 | | **PART II** **Item 5. Market for Registrants Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.** Our Class A common stock and public warrants are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market tier of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the Nasdaq), under the symbols AMOD and AMODW, respectively. During the years ending December 31, 2025 and 2024, there was limited trading of our common stock, and, therefore, the high and low trading price information for our shares for each quarter for the last two years, through the year ended December 31, 2024, as reported by OTCMarkets.com, is as follows: | 2025 FISCAL YEAR | | High | | | Low | | | | First Quarter | | $ | 6.0199 | | | $ | 1.02 | | | | Second Quarter | | $ | 1.62 | | | $ | 1.01 | | | | Third Quarter | | $ | 2.6 | | | $ | 0.8605 | | | | Fourth Quarter | | $ | 1.3 | | | $ | 0.40 | | | | 2024 FISCAL YEAR | | High | | | Low | | | | First Quarter | | $ | 10.79 | | | $ | 10.68 | | | | Second Quarter | | $ | 11.9899 | | | $ | 10.77 | | | | Third Quarter | | $ | 11.5 | | | $ | 11.27 | | | | Fourth Quarter | | $ | 13.49 | | | $ | 2.2 | | | **Record Holders** As of _________, 2026, there were _____________ shares of our Class A common stock issued and outstanding, which shares were owned by approximately ________ holders of record, based on information provided by our transfer agent. **Dividend Policy** We have never declared a cash dividend on our common stock and our Board of Directors does not anticipate that we will pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, restrictions contained in our agreements and other factors which our Board of Directors deems relevant. **Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities** On October 24, 2025, the Company entered into consulting agreements with Rucus Holdings LLC (Rucus) and Leron Group LLC (Leron), pursuant to which Rucus and Leron would provide marketing and sales services to the Company in connection with the rollout of the Companys financial services kiosks with a major US retailer, and the Company would issue Rucus 250,000 shares of Class A common stock, and the Company would issue Leron 4,000,000 shares of Class A common stock.

Selected Financial Data.** We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item. We reserve the right to not provide the Selected Financial Data in our future filings. **Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.** *References in this section to we, our, us, and Alpha Modus generally refer to Alpha Modus, Corp. prior to the Business Combination and to Alpha Modus Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries after giving effect to the Business Combination. References to Legacy Alpha Modus generally refer to Alpha Modus, Corp., and references to the Company generally refer to Alpha Modus Holdings, Inc. The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the sections entitled Business, Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information and Other Data, and our financial statements and related notes and other information included elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon our current expectations, estimates and projections that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements due to, among other considerations, the matters discussed under Risk Factors and Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.* **Overview** Alpha Modus engages in creating, developing and licensing data-driven technologies to enhance consumers in-store digital experience at the point of decision. The company was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Cornelius, North Carolina. As technological innovation is at the core of the company, Alpha Modus has developed comprehensive end-to-end patented solutions for retailers and consumer brands to bring innovation to consumers and enhance their experience at the point of sale. Some examples that the 571 patent family could potentially include use in the following: | | | targeted marketing campaigns; | | | | | | | | | | actionable insights on consumer product packaging; | | | | | | | | | | inventory control; | | | | | | | | | | smart planograms; | | | | | | | | | | in-store heatmapping of consumer traffic; | | | | | | | | | | consumer behavior; and | | | | | | | | | | staffing needs based on foot traffic in a retail location. | | | 43 | | The primary focus of Alpha Modus technology is to analyze consumer behavior and their interactions with retail products in real-time with the objective to provide brands and retailers the ability to achieve the following: *Enhance the Consumers In-Store Experience* | | | Engage consumers with interactive output displays throughout brick-and-mortar retail stores to capture critical decision-making at the point of sale. | | | | | | | | | | Cater to specific and immediate needs of the consumer. | | | | | | | | | | Capture MAC address tracking data, user eye tracking, object identification of goods throughout the store. | | *Manage Inventory and Create Smart Planograms* | | | Assess the consumers product engagement and product tracking in real time. | | | | | | | | | | Aid in inventory management and product placement throughout a store by creating smart planograms. | | *Monetize Digital Insights* | | | Curate tailored in-store marketing solutions. | | | | | | | | | | Drive sales via engaging customers with digital experiences at the point of sale. | | **Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates** Critical accounting policies are those that, in managements view, are most important to the portrayal of a companys financial condition and results of operations and most demanding on their calls on judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 to our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this annual report, we believe that the following accounting policies are those most critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. **Derivative Liabilities** The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants and the forward purchase agreement, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. The company earnout shares and sponsor earnout shares (earnout shares) as defined in the business combination agreement are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value of Financial Instruments (ASC 820), the Company recognizes the earnout shares instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the carrying value of the instruments to fair value at each reporting period for so long as they are outstanding. At the date of the merger, the initial fair value of the earnout shares have been estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Subsequently, the fair value of the earnout shares have been estimated using this same Monte Carlo simulation model. Derivative earnout shares liabilities are classified as current liabilities (See note 7 for more details on earnout shares). | 44 | | **Series C Preferred Stock** During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company amended and restated its charter to include the designation of a Series C Preferred Stock. The Amended and Restated Charter authorizes the issuance of 8,500,000 shares of preferred stock, 7,500,000 shares of which have been designated as Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (Series C Preferred Stock), and 1,000,000 shares of which will be undesignated. Based on the characteristics and rights of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Company is reporting it as Mezzanine Equity (Temporary Equity) on its consolidated balance sheets. These shares were valued at the date of issuance using a Monte Carlo Simulation model. The Company determined that subsequent changes to the carrying value of the series C preferred shares will not be recognized until Redemption becomes probable of occurring. See Note 9 Mezzanine Equity for further details. **Off-balance Sheet Arrangements** We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. **Results of Operations** For the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 Revenue Alpha Modus had $7,138 and $0 in royalty revenue during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Operating Expenses Alpha Modus had operating expenses of $5,251,326 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $834,895 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in professional fees and increased consulting, insurance, payroll and public company expenses. Other Income/Expenses Alpha Modus had total other expense of $2,777,047 for the year ended December 31, 2025, $3,981,641 of which was interest expense, $803,680 of which was a gain in change in fair value of warrants liability, $1,053,084 of which was a gain of change in fair value of earnout shares liability and $760,302 of which was loss on settlement of debt, as compared to total other income of $4,938,162, $168,886 of which was interest expense, $13,226,926 of which was a forbearance fee expense, $397,553 of which was a loss in change in fair value of warrants liability and $18,731,514 of which was a gain of change in fair value of earnout shares liability during the year ended December 31, 2024. Net Income Alpha Modus had a net loss of $8,021,235 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to a net income of $4,103,067 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The net loss during the year ended December 31, 2025 was primarily due to increase in operating expenses and the increase in interest expenses together with the gain in change in fair value of earnout shares of $1,053,084, gain in change in fair value of warrants liability of $803,680 and loss on settlement of debt of $760,302 as compared to the net income during the year ended December 31, 2024 comprised of the gain in change in fair value of earnout shares of $18,731,514, loss in change in fair value of warrants liability of $397,553 and forbearance fee expense of $13,226,926 as described above. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of December 31, 2025, Alpha Modus had cash of $68,000. We do not have sufficient resources to effectuate our business. We expect to incur significant expenses during the next twelve months of operations, including as a result of becoming a public company. We estimate that these expenses will be comprised primarily of general expenses including overhead, legal and accounting fees. To maintain our plan of growth, we believe we will need to raise a minimum of an additional $2,500,000. These factors, along with the lack of current Company revenues, raise substantial doubts about Alpha Modus ability to continue as a going concern. | 45 | | Operations used cash of $3,210,182 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $1,676,499 used for the year ended December 31, 2024. We used $8,050 to acquire equipment in the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $2,537 in cash acquired with the business combination but incurred $361,643 in acquisition costs in the year ended December 31, 2024. We had net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025, of $2,550,418, compared to $2,664,610 for the year ended December 31, 2024. We will have to raise funds to pay for our expenses. We may have to borrow money from shareholders or issue debt or equity or enter into a strategic arrangement with a third party. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us. We currently have no arrangements or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources. Since we have no such arrangements or plans currently in effect, our inability to raise funds for our operations will have a severe negative impact on our ability to remain a viable company. Emerging Growth Company Status 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 are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can choose not to take advantage of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, and any such election to not take advantage of the extended transition period is irrevocable. IAC is an emerging growth company as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act and has elected to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period for new or revised financial accounting standards. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, Alpha Modus expects to remain an emerging growth company at least through the end of the 2023 fiscal year and to continue to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period, although it may decide to early adopt such new or revised accounting standards to the extent permitted by such standards. This may make it difficult or impossible to compare Alpha Modus financial results with the financial results of another public company that is either not an emerging growth company or is an emerging growth company that has chosen not to take advantage of the extended transition period exemptions because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an emerging growth company, we intend to rely on such exemptions, we are not required to, among other things: (i) provide an auditors attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditors report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis); and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation-related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive Officers compensation to median employee compensation. We will remain an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act until the earliest of (i) the last day of our first fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the IAC IPO, (ii) the last date of our fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, (iii) the date on we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC with at least $700.0 million of outstanding common equity held by non-affiliates, or (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the previous three years. **Item 7a. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.** We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item. | 46 | | **Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplemental Data.** **ALPHA MODUS HOLDINGS, INC.** **CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** **DECEMBER 31, 2025** **FINANCIAL STATEMENT TABLE OF CONTENTS** | | Page | | | Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (PCAOB Firm ID No. 206) | 48 | | | Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 | 49 | | | Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 | 50 | | | Consolidated Statements of Stockholders Deficit for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 | 51 | | | Consolidated Statements of Cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 | 52 | | | Footnotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements | 53 | | | 47 | | **REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM** To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Alpha Modus Holdings, Inc. **** **Opinion on the Financial Statements** **** We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Alpha Modus Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, 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 the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. **Going Concern Matter** The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. 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 Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys 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 the Company 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. The Company 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 Companys 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/ MaloneBailey, LLP* www.malonebailey.com We have served as the Companys auditor since 2024.

(the Company, we, us, our, or Alpha Modus), was incorporated in the State of Florida on July 11, 2014. **Nature of Operations** Alpha Modus was founded as an artificial intelligence software as a service provider. As of January 2020, Alpha Modus abandoned its software and deemed it not technologically feasible. Since that time, the Company has focused on developing its patents. Alpha Modus was awarded US Patent No. 10,360,571 (the 571 Patent) on July 23, 2019. Since August 2019, Alpha Modus has focused on research and development to expand claims of the 571 Patent. The Company began commercialization efforts of the 571 Patent family in 2024. **Business Combination** On December 13, 2024, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement consummated the Business Combination. Immediately upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Alpha Modus, Corp. (Alpha Modus) became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, the Company changed its name to Alpha Modus Holdings, Inc., (Holdings). In accordance with ASC 805, in a business combination, one of the combining entities shall be identified as the accounting acquirer. Management evaluated ASC 805-10-55-11 through 55-15 to make this determination. Management assessed the various criteria to identify the accounting acquirer; form of consideration, relative voting rights, large minority interest, composition of the governing body, composition of management, terms of the exchange of equity interests and relative size. Management determined that Alpha Modus would be the accounting acquirer, based on the voting rights after the combination, large minority interest, composition of board and management and relative size. Management evaluated which entity constituted a business based on the assets acquired and liabilities assumed along with the inputs and processes of the entities. Management determined that Alpha Modus constitutes a business and that the substance of the transaction is a recapitalization of Alpha Modus often referred to as a reverse recapitalization. Accordingly, the merger will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Under this method of accounting, Holdings will be treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. The net assets of Holdings will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the merger will be those of Alpha Modus. All periods prior to the Merger have been retrospectively adjusted using the Exchange Ratio for the equivalent number of shares outstanding immediately after the Closing to effect the reverse recapitalization. In the Business Combination, the Company issued 5,295,000 shares of common stock and 7,500,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock to Legacy Alpha Modus shareholders as merger consideration in the Business Combination, and the Company issued 1,817,308 shares of common stock to various parties as required by the Business Combination Agreement. Immediately following the Business Combination there were 12,455,252 shares of the Companys common stock (all Class A common stock) issued and outstanding, and 7,500,000 shares of the Companys Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. **Risks and Uncertainties** On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the IR Act) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the Treasury) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. | 53 | | Any share redemption or other share repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise will depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any PIPE or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. During the second quarter of 2024, the Internal Revenue Service issued final regulations with respect to the timing and payment of the excise tax. These regulations provided that the filing and payment deadline for any liability incurred during the period from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 would be October 31, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating its options with respect to this obligation. Any amount of such excise tax not paid in full, will be subject to additional interest and penalties which are currently estimated at 10% interest per annum and a 5% underpayment penalty per month or portion of a month up to 25% of the total liability for any amount that is unpaid from November 1, 2024 until paid in full. While we previously believed that the Excise Tax may have applied to redemptions of our Class A common stock in connection with our Business Combination completed in 2024, based on the November 24, 2025, final regulations, we no longer believe the Excise Tax applies to the Companys prior common stock redemptions, since those redemptions occurred solely with respect to redeemable stock issued by the Company in its original IPO in September 2021, such that those redemptions are not treated as stock repurchases for purposes of IRC Section 4501 because that stock was outstanding prior to August 16, 2022. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2025, the Companys financial statements reflect the removal of the Excise Tax liability of $2,348,302. If our conclusions regarding the applicability of the transition relief provided by the November 24, 2025, final regulations described above are incorrect, we could still be subject to liability arising from the Excise Tax. **NOTE 2 BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** **Basis of Presentation** The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and has a year-end of December 31st. Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Companys system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that 1) recorded transactions are valid; 2) valid transactions are recorded; and 3) transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods being presented. **Principles of Consolidation** The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | 54 | | **Liquidity and Going Concern** We have incurred recurring losses since inception and expect to continue to incur losses. On December 31, 2025, we had $68,000 in cash. Our net loss incurred for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $8,021,235. The working capital deficit was $7,787,704 on December 31, 2025. As a result, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In the event that we are unable to generate sufficient cash from our operating activities or raise additional funds, we may be required to delay, reduce or severely curtail our operations or otherwise impede our on-going business efforts, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and long-term prospects. The Company expects to seek to obtain additional funding through increased revenues and future financings. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. **Cash and Cash Equivalent** Cash is comprised of cash balances. Cash is held at major financial institutions and is subject to credit risk to the extent that those balances exceed applicable Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance amounts of $250,000. From time to time, the Company has certain cash balances, including restricted cash, that may exceed insured limits. The Company utilizes large banking institutions that are reputable, therefore mitigating the risks. **Concentration of Credit Risk** Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Companys financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. **Accounts Receivable** Accounts receivable is comprised of uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluation of its customers and management closely monitors outstanding receivables based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reviewed periodically for collectability. If management determines that collection is unlikely, an allowance that reflects managements best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected is recorded. **** **Revenue Recognition** Revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 606. The Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company applies the five-step model to arrangements that meet the definition of a contract under Topic 606, including when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, the Company evaluates the goods or services promised within each contract related performance obligation and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company recognizes as revenue, the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. Revenue recognition occurs at the time sales are recorded by the customers, in accordance with royalty agreements, provided there are no material remaining performance obligations required of the Company or any matters of customer acceptance. **Patent Infringement Income** The Company has determined that income derived from patent infringement settlements are not in line with the Companys main revenue stream of patent royalties and that these patent infringement settlements should be recorded as other income. If funds are received by the Companys legal counsel and legal fees are withheld from these funds, then the income would be reported as the net amount received by the Company from its legal counsel. Any funds received directly by the Company will be recorded at the gross amount received, with any related legal fees paid would be recorded as legal fees. | 55 | | **Use of Estimates** The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. The more significant accounting estimates included in these consolidated financial statements are the determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities, earnout shares and sponsor earnout shares, preferred series C stock and excise tax payable. 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 consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. **Financial Instruments** The fair value of the Companys assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, equals or approximates the carrying amounts represented in the consolidated balance sheets, except for the derivative liabilities (see Note 8). **Fair Value Measurements** Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers consist of: | | | Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets; | | | | | | | | | | Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and | | | | | | | | | | Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. | | In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. **Derivative Liabilities** The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants and the forward purchase agreement, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. The warrants issued in the Initial Public Offering (the Public Warrants) and the Private Placement Warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value of Financial Instruments (ASC 820), the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the carrying value of the instruments to fair value at each reporting period for so long as they are outstanding. At the date of the merger, the initial fair value of the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Public Offering and the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants have been estimated using a Black-Scholes model. Subsequently, the fair value of the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Public Offering and the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants have been estimated using this same Black-Scholes model. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified as current liabilities (See note 6 for more details on warrants). The company earnout shares and sponsor earnout shares (earnout shares) as defined in the business combination agreement are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value of Financial Instruments (ASC 820), the Company recognizes the earnout shares instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the carrying value of the instruments to fair value at each reporting period for so long as they are outstanding. At the date of the merger, the initial fair value of the earnout shares have been estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Subsequently, the fair value of the earnout shares have been estimated using this same Monte Carlo simulation model. Derivative earnout shares liabilities are classified as current liabilities (See note 7 for more details on earnout shares). | 56 | | **Net (Loss) Income Per Common Share** Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the year as defined by FASB, ASC Topic 260, *Earnings per Share*. Basic earnings per common share (EPS) calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. The Company has 43,419,690 and 26,534,773 dilutive shares of common stock derived from six convertible notes and the series C preferred stock as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The calculation of diluted net (loss) income does not consider the effect of the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering and the private placement warrants to purchase an aggregate of 20,700,000 shares of Class A common stock and the earnout shares and sponsor earnout shares as defined in the business combination agreement an aggregate of 2,950,000 shares of Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted (loss) income per share, because their exercise is contingent upon future events and their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. The following tables present a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net (loss) income per share: SCHEDULE OF BASIC AND DILUTED NET (LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE | | | | | | | | | | | | For the Years Ended | | | | Numerator | | December 31, 2025 | | | December 31, 2024 | | | | Net Income (Loss) | | $ | (8,021,235 | ) | | $ | 4,103,067 | | | | Amortization of Debt Discounts | | | - | | | | 9,543 | | | | Interest Expense | | | - | | | | 14,450 | | | | Adjusted Net Income (Loss) | | $ | (8,021,235 | ) | | $ | 4,127,060 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Denominator | | Shares | | | Shares | | | | Basic Weighted Average Number of Shares Outstanding during Period | | | 27,306,097 | | | | 5,640,991 | | | | Dilutive Shares | | | - | | | | 26,534,773 | | | | Diluted Weighted Average Number of Shares Outstanding during Period | | | 27,306,097 | | | | 32,175,764 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share | | $ | (0.29 | ) | | $ | 0.13 | | | **Income Taxes** The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, *Income Taxes*. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carryforwards and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income (loss) in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rules on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the year of change. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely-than-not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. | 57 | | Tax benefits of uncertain tax positions are recognized only if it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to sustain a position taken on an income tax return. The Company has no liability for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. Interest and penalties in any, related to unrecognized tax benefits would be recognized as interest expense. The Company does not have any accrued interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any significant interest expense recognized during the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. **Stock-Based Compensation** **** For stock-based transactions, compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period, based on the estimated fair value on the grant date of the award. **Notes Payable** The Company issued various notes payable to related parties. These notes payable included original issue discounts and debt issuance costs. *Original issue discounts.* The Company accounts for the original issue discounts in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 835-30, *Interest and Imputation of Interest*, which requires the Company to record the discount as a contra-liability and amortize it over the term of the underlying note using the interest method. *Debt issuance costs.* The Company accounts for debt issuance costs in accordance with ASC No. 470-20, *Debt*, which requires the Company to recognize a contra-liability for costs incurred with the issuance of debt instruments. These contra-liabilities are amortized over the term of the underlying note payable using the interest method. **Related Parties** In accordance with ASC 850 Related Party Disclosure, a party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arms-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arms-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated. **Series C Preferred Stock** During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company amended and restated its charter to include the designation of a Series C Preferred Stock. The Amended and Restated Charter authorizes the issuance of 8,500,000 shares of preferred stock, 7,500,000 shares of which have been designated as Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (Series C Preferred Stock), and 1,000,000 shares of which will be undesignated. Based on the characteristics and rights of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Company is reporting it as Mezzanine Equity (Temporary Equity) on its consolidated balance sheets. These shares were valued at the date of issuance using a Monte Carlo Simulation model. The Company determined that subsequent changes to the carrying value of the series C preferred shares will not be recognized until Redemption becomes probable of occurring. Alpha Modus shall be obligated to pay holders the Liquidation Value to redeem the Series C Preferred Stock upon the occurrence of a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined below) or Trigger Event (as defined below). Deemed Liquidation Event generally means (a) a merger or consolidation where Alpha Modus or a subsidiary is a party to the merger and Alpha Modus issues shares of stock (except for domicile mergers and mergers not constituting a change of control); (b) Alpha Modus issues convertible or equity securities that senior to the Series C Preferred Stock in any respect; (c) a holder does not receive conversion shares upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock within 5 trading days due to the occurrence of an event that is solely within the control of Alpha Modus; (d) trading of the common stock is halted or suspended for 10 or more consecutive trading days due to the occurrence of an event that is solely within the control of Alpha Modus; or (e) a sale or other disposition of substantially all the assets of Alpha Modus that is not approved by the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock. See Note 9 Mezzanine Equity and Note 10 Stockholders Equity for further details. **Recent Accounting Pronouncements** Recently Issued Accounting Standards: Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements, except as noted below. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 Income Tax Disclosures required for periods beginning after December 31, 2024.

The SPA included customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and customary closing conditions. The SPA grants the Investor (i) the right to fund up to an additional $5,000,000 to the Company, with the Companys consent, through the date that is six months following repayment of the Note in full (the Reinvestment Right), and (ii) the exclusive right, on customary market terms, to enter into an equity line of credit or other similar financing arrangement with the Company for at least $20,000,000, through the date that is one year following the Purchase Price Date (defined below). Pursuant the SPA, Alpha Modus, Corp. was required to guarantee all of the Companys obligations under the Note and related transaction documents pursuant to a guaranty agreement (the Guaranty), and the Note will also be secured by security agreements (the Security Agreements) by and between the Investor and both the Company and Alpha Modus, Corp., granting the Investor first priority security interests in all assets of the Company, as well as all assets of Alpha Modus, Corp., including all of Alpha Modus intellectual property (and including Alpha Modus patent portfolio) pursuant to a separate intellectual property security agreement (the IP Security Agreement). Additionally, the Company and Alpha Modus (collectively the Borrowers), and William Alessi, his entity, Janbella Group, LLC, and the trusts deemed to be beneficially owned by Mr. Alessi (each a Capital Party and collectively the Capital Parties), were required to execute at closing a subordination and voting agreement (the Subordination Agreement) pursuant to which (i) all of the Borrowers indebtedness and obligations to each Capital Party were subordinated to Investor, (ii) all security interests of any Capital Party were subordinate to Investors security interests, (iii) the Borrowers would not make any payments to any Capital Party, (iv) none of the Capital Parties would accelerate any subordinated debt or equity, (v) and no Capital Party would convert or exchange their preferred stock of the Company into Common Stock, until such time as the Investor had been fully paid and all financing agreements between the Investor and the Borrowers were terminated. The Note matured 18 months following the date the purchase price is delivered to the Company (the Purchase Price Date), accrued interest of 10% per annum, was prepayable (after providing five trading days notice) at a 20% premium to the then-outstanding balance of the Note, and was convertible into Class A common stock (Common Stock) of the Company as described below. Within 30 days of the Purchase Price Date, the Company was obligated to file a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC registering a number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note, and such registration statement was filed as described below. The Note was convertible at the election of the Investor into shares of Common Stock at any time following the earlier of the effective date of the registration statement described above or one year following the Purchase Price Date, at a conversion price equal to 90% multiplied by the lowest daily volume-weighted average price during the five trading days preceding conversion, and provided that (i) the Investor may not convert the Note into shares of Common Stock to the extent that such conversion would result in the Investors beneficial ownership of Common Stock being in excess of 4.99% (or 9.99% if the Companys market capitalization is less than $10 million), and provided that (ii) the Note is not convertible into a total cumulative number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock permitted by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635 (the Exchange Cap). Pursuant to the terms of the Note, the Company was required to, within 120 days of the Purchase Price Date, seek shareholder approval of the Note and the issuance of shares of Common Stock, issuable upon conversion of the Note and pursuant to the Reinvestment Right, in excess of the Exchange Cap (the Shareholder Approvals). If such shareholder approval is not obtained within 120 days, the Company was required to continue to seek shareholder approval every three months thereafter until shareholder approval is obtained. Pursuant to the Subordination Agreement, each Capital Party was required to vote all of their shares of Company stock in favor of the Shareholder Approvals. Under the SPA, the Company was required to initially reserve 7,500,000 shares of its Common Stock for issuance to the Investor under the Note, and the Company was required to add additional shares to the reserve in increments of 100,000 shares when requested by the Investor if at the time of the request the number of shares being held in reserve is less than three times the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the outstanding balance under the Note divided by the applicable conversion price at that time. | 61 | | On December 12, 2024, the Company amended the SPA (the Amended SPA) to revise the terms of the Note. Pursuant to the Amended SPA, the Note was not convertible below a floor price of $4.00/share, but if the closing bid price of the Companys common stock is less than the floor price for ten consecutive trading days, the Company is required to begin making monthly payments under the Note on the date that is 90 days following the original funding date. On or about December 13, 2024, the Company issued the Note to the Investor, the Note was funded on or about December 16, 2024, and the closing bid price of the Companys common stock was subsequently less than the $4.00 floor price for more than ten consecutive trading days, which, under the terms of the Amended SPA, would have required the Company to begin making monthly payments under the Note, with those monthly payments commencing on March 16, 2025, and with those monthly payments being equal to 120% multiplied by the outstanding balance divided by the lesser of 6 or the number of months remaining until the Notes maturity date.

On April 28, 2025, the Company and the Investor entered into a second amendment to the Note (the Second Amendment) providing that (i) the 20% prepayment penalty under the Note was eliminated, but the outstanding balance of the Note was increased to $3,597,502 (i.e., the outstanding balance under the Note as of April 28, 2025, plus the prepayment penalty of 20% as of April 28, 2025), (ii) the Company would have the right on up to three occasions to extend the monthly payment start date for one month, with the outstanding balance automatically increasing by one percent for each extension, (iii) the monthly payments would equal $582,000 plus all accrued but unpaid interest, (iv) the floor price was reduced to $1.25, (v) the Investors beneficial ownership limitation was increased to 9.99%, (vi) the Company agreed to hold a stockholder meeting within 60 days to approve the issuances to the Investor under the Note and under an equity line of credit agreement with the Investor in excess of the Exchange Cap (as such term was defined in the Note), (vii) the Company agreed to sell the Investor 1,250,000 shares of common stock (the Pre-Delivery Shares) for $125, which Pre-Delivery Shares shall be used by the Investor only as pre-delivery shares under the Note and a future equity line of credit agreement between the Company and the Investor, (viii) the Company agreed to file a registration statement to register the Pre-Delivery Shares and other shares of common stock issuable to the Investor upon conversion of the Note, and (ix) the Investor provided its written consent to the Company entering into the Patent Monetization Agreement and Option Agreement described below. A registration statement registering shares for resale by the Investor was filed by the Company with the SEC pursuant to the Companys obligations under the Second Amendment to register Pre-Delivery Shares and other shares of common stock issuable to the Investor upon conversion of the Note (of which 1,250,000 Pre-Delivery Shares and 3,000,000 other conversion shares were registered for resale in that registration statement). That registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on May 23, 2025. On May 29, 2025, the Investor converted $767,000 of the Note into 613,600 shares of Company common stock. On June 11, 2025, the Investor converted $125,000 of the Note into 100,000 shares of Company common stock.

On or about July 25, 2025, the Company repurchased the 1,250,000 Pre-Delivery Shares from the Investor for $125, and on or about August 6, 2025, the Pre-Delivery Shares were returned to the Company by the Investor and cancelled.

The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $598,324 in relation to this note amendment. On April 28, 2025, the Company issued 1,250,000 shares of common stock as financing incentive in connection with the amendment. These shares were valued at $1.15 per share for a total value of $1,437,500. Streeterville paid $125 for these shares and the Company recorded a debt discount on the amended note of $1,437,375.

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination; provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). The Company agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC and have an effective registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed. If a registration statement covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th 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. Notwithstanding the above, if the Companys shares of Class A common stock are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a covered security under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a cashless basis in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elect, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, it will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. The warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock 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 share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Initial Stockholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Initial Stockholders 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 (z) the volume weighted average trading price of Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its 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 described below under Redemption of warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price. | 65 | | The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, except as set forth below, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor, the underwriters or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the Sponsor, the underwriters or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. **Redemption of warrants***.* Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants for cash (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants): | | | 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 Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. | | **NOTE 7 EARNOUT SHARES AND SPONSOR EARNOUT SHARES** The stockholders of Alpha Modus, Corp. may be issued up to 2,200,000 additional shares of Company common stock (the Earnout Shares). The Earnout Shares will be earned and issued in one-third (1/3) increments (of approximately 733,333 shares) if, for any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30)-consecutive trading day period beginning at least 180 days after the Closing and on or prior to the 5-year anniversary of the Closing, the VWAP of the Companys common stock equals or exceeds $13.00 per share, $15.00 per share and $18.00 per share (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like after the Closing), respectively, with all remaining Earnout Shares earned and issued upon certain changes of control of the Company at or prior to the 5-year anniversary of the Closing. Additionally, at the Closing, the Companys sponsor, Insight Acquisition Sponsor LLC (the Sponsor) was required to deposit 750,000 shares of Company common stock into escrow (the Sponsor Earnout Shares), and the Sponsor Earnout Shares will be released to the Sponsor according to the same milestones and timelines applicable to the Earnout Shares described above (earned and issued in one-third (1/3) increments of approximately 250,000 shares). Closing Share Price means, for any security as of any date(s), the dollar volume-weighted average price for such security on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which such security is then traded during the period beginning at 9:30:01 a.m., New York time, and ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York time, as reported by Bloomberg through its HP function (set to weighted average) or, if the foregoing does not apply, the dollar volume-weighted average price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security during the period beginning at 9:30:01 a.m., New York time and ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York time, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no dollar volume-weighted average price is reported for such security by Bloomberg for such hours, the average of the highest closing bid price and the lowest closing ask price of any of the market makers for such security as reported by OTC Markets Group Inc. If the Closing Share Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date(s) on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Share Price of such security on such date(s) shall be the fair market value per share on such date(s) as reasonably determined by the Company. If the condition for more than one Milestone is achieved, the Company Earnout Shares to be issued in connection with such Milestone shall be cumulative with any Company Earnout Shares earned prior to such time and the Escrowed Sponsor Shares to be released from escrow to Sponsor shall be cumulative with any Escrowed Sponsor Shares released prior to such time in connection with the achievement of any other Milestone; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company Earnout Shares in respect of each Milestone will be issued and earned only once and the aggregate Company Earnout Shares issued shall in no event exceed 2,200,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. | 66 | | If, at or following the 5-year anniversary of the Closing Date, the $13.00 Share Price Milestone, $15.00 Share Price Milestone and/or the $18.00 Share Price Milestone have not occurred, none of the Earnout Shares that related to that particular Milestone shall be issued, and the Escrowed Sponsor Shares that have not been released from escrow to Sponsor shall automatically without further action be forfeited and deemed cancelled. In the event that after the Closing and prior the 5-year anniversary of the Closing Date, there is a Change of Control, the $13.00 Share Price Milestone, $15.00 Share Price Milestone, and/or the $18.00 Share Price Milestone, as applicable, shall be deemed to have occurred to the extent any such Milestone has not been achieved prior to the date of such Change of Control. For purposes hereof, a Change of Control means the occurrence in a single transaction or as a result of a series of related transactions, of one or more of the following events: a. any person or any group of persons acting together which would constitute a group for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or any successor provisions thereto (a Group) (excluding a corporation or other entity owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of IAC) (x) is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of then outstanding voting securities or (y) has or acquires control of the Board; b. a merger, consolidation, reorganization or similar business combination transaction involving the Company, and, immediately after the consummation of such transaction or series of transactions, either (x) the Board immediately prior to the merger or consolidation does not constitute at least a majority of the board of directors of the company surviving the merger or, if the surviving company is a Subsidiary, the ultimate parent thereof, or (y) the voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such merger or consolidation do not continue to represent or are not converted into more than 50% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the person resulting from such transaction or series of transactions or, if the surviving company is a Subsidiary, the ultimate parent thereof; or c. the sale, lease or other disposition, directly or indirectly, by the Company of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, other than such sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to an entity at least a majority of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are owned, directly or indirectly, by stockholders of the Company. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time, after the date hereof effect a subdivision, stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, combination, recapitalization or similar transaction affecting the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, the number of Earnout Shares issuable hereunder (and the number of Escrowed Sponsor Shares to be released), and the stock price targets set forth above shall be equitably adjusted for such subdivision, stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, combination, recapitalization or similar transaction. Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective (which shall be the ex date, if any, with respect to any such event). | 67 | | **NOTE 8 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS** The following tables present information about the Companys liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques that the Company utilized to determine such fair value: **** The fair value of financial instruments on December 31, 2025 is summarized below: SCHEDULE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE ON A RECURRING BASIS | Description | | Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) | | | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant Other Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) | | | | Liabilities: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Derivative liabilities-public warrants | | $ | - | | | $ | 658,800 | | | $ | - | | | | Derivative liabilities-private warrants | | $ | - | | | $ | 487,573 | | | $ | - | | | | Derivative liabilities-earnout shares | | $ | - | | | $ | - | | | $ | - | | | | Derivative liabilities-sponsor earnout shares | | $ | - | | | $ | - | | | $ | - | | | | Total | | $ | - | | | $ | 1,146,373 | | | $ | - | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mezzanine Equity: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Series C preferred stock | | $ | - | | | $ | - | | | $ | 41,170,508 | | | The fair value of financial instruments on December 31, 2024 is summarized below: | Description | | Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) | | | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant Other Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) | | | | Liabilities: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Derivative liabilities-public warrants | | $ | - | | | $ | - | | | $ | 1,020,000 | | | | Derivative liabilities-private warrants | | $ | - | | | $ | - | | | $ | 930,053 | | | | Derivative liabilities-earnout shares | | $ | - | | | $ | - | | | $ | 785,351 | | | | Derivative liabilities-sponsor earnout shares | | $ | - | | | $ | - | | | $ | 267,733 | | | | Total | | $ | - | | | $ | - | | | $ | 3,003,137 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mezzanine Equity: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Series C preferred stock | | $ | - | | | $ | - | | | $ | 71,809,025 | | | The initial and subsequent fair values of the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants have been estimated using a Black-Scholes model.

Management reviewed ASC 480, ASC 805, ASC 815, ASC 820 and ASC 825 to determine the proper treatment of the series C preferred shares. Management concluded that the series C preferred shares qualify as temporary equity under ASC 815; therefore, the Company will recognize the series C preferred shares within mezzanine equity in its balance sheet. In accordance with ASC 480, the series C preferred shares will be initially recorded and measured at fair value; however, when estimating the fair value of the series C preferred shares, the Company has followed the guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. Because Redemption is contingent upon the occurrence of certain events that have not been met, subsequent changes to the carrying value of the series C preferred shares will not be recognized until Redemption becomes probable of occurring. In the consolidated financial statements, the series C preferred shares are being presented as being issued in 2023 when a Legacy Alpha Modus shareholder converted Legacy Alpha Modus series B preferred shares in preparation for the pending business combination. The consolidated financial statements reflect the 10 shares of series B preferred stock converting into 7,500,000 shares of series C preferred stock and 2,334,092 shares of class A common stock.

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. | 74 | | Because of the historical earnings history of the Company, the net deferred tax assets for 2025 and 2024 were fully offset by a 100% valuation allowance.

The defense of such claims, or any adverse outcome relating to any such claims, could have a material adverse effect on the Companys liquidity, financial condition and cash flows. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Companys management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Companys legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Companys financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed. **NOTE 14 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS** The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. The Company has determined that there are no other such events that warrant disclosure or recognition in the financial statements, except as noted below. **** On October 24, 2025, the Company entered into consulting agreements with Rucus Holdings LLC (Rucus) and Leron Group LLC (Leron), pursuant to which Rucus and Leron would provide marketing and sales services to the Company in connection with the rollout of the Companys financial services kiosks with a major US retailer, and the Company would issue Rucus 250,000 shares of Class A common stock, and the Company would issue Leron 4,000,000 shares of Class A common stock.

As we grow, we expect to increase the number of employees, which would enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework. *(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting* Other than as disclosed in Item 9 above, there have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. **Item 9B. Other Information.** None. **Item 9C. Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions that Prevent Inspections.** Not applicable. **PART III** **Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance** The business and affairs of the Company are managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors (**Board**) of the Company. The Companys Amended and Restated Charter provides for a staggered, or classified, Board of Directors consisting of three classes of directors, each serving a staggered three-year term and with one class being elected at each years annual meeting of stockholders, as follows: | | | Class A, which consists of Scott Wattenberg, whose term will expire at the first annual meeting of stockholders to be held after the consummation of the Business Combination; | | | | | Class B, which consists of William Ullman and Michael Garel, whose terms will expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders to be held after the consummation of the Business Combination; and | | | | | | | | | | Class C, which consists of William Alessi and Gregory Richter, whose terms will expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders to be held after the consummation of the Business Combination. | | | 78 | | At each annual meeting of stockholders, directors for a particular class will be elected for a three-year term at the annual meeting of stockholders in the year in which the term for that class expires. Each directors term is subject to the election and qualification of his or her successor, or his or her earlier death, disqualification, resignation or removal. Subject to any rights applicable to any then outstanding preferred stock, any vacancies on the Company Board may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office. Any increase or decrease in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. This classification of the Company Board may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in the Companys control or management. The Companys directors may be removed for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Companys voting securities. In the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, all five of the Companys directors were reelected as members of the Board of Directors of the Company. The following table sets forth the name, age and position of each of the directors and executive officers of the Company: | Name | | Age | | Position | | | Executive Officers | | | | | | | William Alessi | | 54 | | Chief Executive Officer, Director | | | Rodney Sperry | | 57 | | Chief Financial Officer | | | Chris Chumas | | 40 | | Chief Sales Officer | | | Thomas Gallagher | | 65 | | Chief Revenue Officer | | | Non-Employee Directors | | | | | | | William Ullman | | 62 | | Director(1),(2),(3) | | | Greg Richter | | 62 | | Director | | | Michael Garel | | 48 | | Director(1),(2),(3) | | | Scott Wattenberg | | 55 | | Director(1),(2),(3) | | (1) Member of the Company audit committee.

Mr. Wattenberg obtained his MBA in 2005 from The University of Chicago Booth School of Business. We believe Mr. Wattenbergs established expertise in financial management make him a valuable addition to the Company Board. **Family Relationships** There are no family relationships between any of our directors or executive officers, except that Gregory Richter is the brother-in-law of William Alessi. There are no arrangements or understandings between our directors and any other person pursuant to which they were appointed as an officer and director of the Company, except for our written agreements with each such director filed with the SEC. **Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings** During the past ten years, no current director, executive officer, promoter or control person of the Company has been involved in the following: (1) A petition under the Federal bankruptcy laws or any state insolvency law which was filed by or against, or a receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer was appointed by a court for the business or property of such person, or any partnership in which he was a general partner at or within two years before the time of such filing, or any corporation or business association of which he was an executive officer at or within two years before the time of such filing; (2) Such person was convicted in a criminal proceeding or is a named subject of a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (3) Such person was the subject of any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining him from, or otherwise limiting, the following activities: i.

The Company Board believes that combining these roles will help to promote unified leadership and direction for both the Company Board and management, and therefore appointed Mr. Alessi as President, Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Company Board upon consummation of the Business Combination on December 13, 2024. **Board Composition** The Company Board is comprised of five directors. **Board Diversity Matrix (As of December 31, 2025)** | | | Female | | | Male | | | Did NotDisclose | | | | Gender Identity | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Directors | | | 0 | | | | 5 | | | | 0 | | | | Demographic Background | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Caucasian | | | 0 | | | | 5 | | | | 0 | | | | 82 | | **Director Independence** The Company Board has determined that Michael Garel, Scott Wattenberg, and William Ullman qualify as independent directors on the Company Board, as defined under the listing rules of Nasdaq, and the Company Board will consist of a majority of independent directors, as defined under the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq relating to director independence requirements. In addition, the Company will be subject to the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq relating to the membership, qualifications and operations of the audit committee, as discussed below. **Role of the Company Board in Risk Oversight/Risk Committee** One of the key functions of the Company Board is oversight of the Companys risk management process. The Company Board does have a standing risk management committee, but instead administers this oversight function directly through the Company Board as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of the Company Board that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. For example, the Company audit committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks associated with the Companys financial reporting, accounting, and auditing matters; the Companys compensation committee oversees the management of risks associated with our compensation policies and programs. **Board Committees** The Company Board has established an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. The Company Board has adopted a charter for each of these committees, which complies with the applicable requirements of current Nasdaq rules. The Company intends to comply with future requirements to the extent they will be applicable to the Company. Copies of the charters for each committee are available on the investor relations portion of the Companys website. **Audit Committee** The Companys audit committee consists of Scott Wattenberg, Michael Garel, and William Ullman. The Company Board has determined that each of the members of the audit committee satisfies the independence requirements of Nasdaq and Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Each member of the audit committee can read and understand fundamental financial statements in accordance with Nasdaq audit committee requirements. In arriving at this determination, the Company Board examined each audit committee members scope of experience and the nature of their prior and/or current employment. Scott Wattenberg serves as the Chair of the audit committee. The Company Board has determined that Mr. Wattenberg qualifies as an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the SEC and meets the financial sophistication requirements of Nasdaq listing rules. In making this determination, the Company Board considered Mr. Wattenbergs formal education and previous experience in financial roles and as Chief Financial Officer for several companies. Both Companys independent registered public accounting firm and management periodically will meet privately with the Companys audit committee. The functions of the audit committee include, among other things: | | | evaluating the performance, independence and qualifications of the Companys independent auditors and determining whether to retain the Companys existing independent auditors or engage new independent auditors; | | | | | | | | | | monitoring the integrity of the Companys financial statements and the Companys compliance with legal and regulatory requirements as they relate to financial statements or accounting matters; | | | 83 | | | | | reviewing the integrity, adequacy and effectiveness of the Companys internal control policies and procedures; | | | | | | | | | | preparing the audit committee report required by the SEC to be included in the Companys annual proxy statement; | | | | | | | | | | discussing the scope and results of the audit with the Companys independent auditors, and reviewing with management and the Companys independent auditors the Companys interim and year-end operating results; | | | | | | | | | | establishing and overseeing procedures for employees to submit concerns anonymously about questionable accounting or auditing matters; | | | | | | | | | | reviewing the Companys guidelines and policies on risk assessment and risk management; | | | | | | | | | | reviewing and approving related party transactions; | | | | | | | | | | obtaining and reviewing a report by the Companys independent auditors at least annually, that describes the Companys independent auditors internal quality control procedures, any material issues raised by review under such procedures, and any steps taken to deal with such issues when required by applicable law; and | | | | | | | | | | approving (or, as permitted, pre-approving) all audit and non-audit services to be performed by the Companys independent auditors. | | The composition and function of the audit committee comply with all applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, SEC rules and regulations and Nasdaq listing rules. The Company will comply with future requirements to the extent they become applicable to the Company. **Compensation Committee** The Companys compensation committee consists of Michael Garel, Scott Wattenberg, and William Ullman. Michael Garel serves as the Chair of the compensation committee. The Companys Board has determined that each of the members of the compensation committee is a non-employee director, as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, and satisfies the independence requirements of Nasdaq. The functions of the compensation committee include, among other things: | | | approving the retention of compensation consultants and outside service providers and advisors; | | | | | | | | | | reviewing and approving, or recommending that the Company Board approve, the compensation of Companys executive officers, including annual base salary, annual incentive bonuses, specific performance goals relevant to their compensation, equity compensation, employment; | | | | | | | | | | reviewing and recommending to the Company Board the compensation of the Companys directors; | | | | | | | | | | administering and determining any award grants under the Companys equity and non-equity incentive plans; | | | | | | | | | | reviewing and evaluating succession plans for the executive officers; | | | | | | | | | | preparing the compensation committee report required by the SEC to be included in the Companys annual proxy statement; and | | | | | | | | | | periodically reviewing the Companys practices and policies of employee compensation as they relate to risk management and risk-taking incentives. | | The composition and function of its compensation committee comply with all applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, SEC rules and regulations and Nasdaq listing rules. The Company will comply with future requirements to the extent they become applicable to the Company. | 84 | | **Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee** The Companys nominating and corporate governance committee consists of William Ullman, Scott Wattenberg, and Michael Garel. William Ullman serves as the Chair of the nominating and corporate governance committee. The Company Board has determined that each of the members of the Companys nominating and corporate governance committee satisfies the independence requirements of Nasdaq. The functions of the nominating and corporate governance committee include, among other things: | | | identifying, evaluating, and recommending individuals qualified to become members of the Company Board and its committees; | | | | | | | | | | evaluating the performance of the Company Board and of individual directors; | | | | | | | | | | reviewing the Companys environmental and social responsibility policies and practices; | | | | | | | | | | developing and recommending corporate governance guidelines to the Company Board; and | | | | | | | | | | overseeing an annual evaluation of the Company Boards and management. | | The composition and function of the nominating and corporate governance committee comply with all applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, SEC rules and regulations and Nasdaq listing rules. The Company will comply with future requirements to the extent they become applicable to the Company. **Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation** None of the members of the Companys compensation committee has ever been an executive officer or employee of the Company. None of the Companys executive officers currently serve, or has served during the last completed fiscal year, on the compensation committee or board of directors of any other entity that has one or more executive officers that will serve as a member of the Company Board or compensation committee. **Stockholder Communication with the Board of Directors** Any stockholder who desires to contact members of our Board of Directors, or a specified committee of our Board of Directors, may do so by writing to: Alpha Modus Holdings, Inc., Board of Directors, 20311 Chartwell Center Drive, #1469, Cornelius, North Carolina, 28031, Attention: Secretary. Communications received will be distributed by our Secretary to such member or members of our Board of Directors as deemed appropriate by our Secretary, depending on the facts and circumstances outlined in the communication received. **Director Nomination Procedures and Diversity** In selecting a qualified Board nominee, our Board of Directors considers such factors as it deems appropriate, which may include: the current composition of our Board of Directors; the range of talents of a nominee that would best complement those already represented on our Board of Directors; the extent to which a nominee would diversify our Board of Directors; a nominees standards of integrity, commitment and independence of thought and judgment; a nominees ability to represent the long-term interests of our shareholders as a whole; a nominees relevant expertise and experience upon which to be able to offer advice and guidance to management; a nominee who is accomplished in his or her respective field, with superior credentials and recognition; and the need for specialized expertise. While we do not have a formal diversity policy, we believe that the backgrounds and qualifications of our directors, considered as a group, should provide a significant composite mix of experience, knowledge and abilities that will allow our Board of Directors to fulfill its responsibilities. Applying these criteria, our Board of Directors considers candidates for membership on our Board of Directors suggested by its members, as well as by our shareholders. Members of our Board of Directors review our Board of Directors composition by evaluating whether our Board of Directors has the right mix of skills, experience and backgrounds. | 85 | | Our Board of Directors may also consider an assessment of its diversity, in its broadest sense, reflecting, but not limited to, age, geography, gender and ethnicity. Our Board of Directors identifies nominees by first evaluating the current members of our Board of Directors willing to continue in service. Current members of our Board of Directors with skills and experience relevant to our business and who are willing to continue in service are considered for re-nomination. If any member of our Board of Directors does not wish to continue in service or if our Board of Directors decides not to nominate a member for re-election, our Board of Directors will review the desired skills and experience of a new nominee in light of the criteria set forth above. Our Board of Directors also considers nominees for our Board of Directors recommended by Shareholders. Notice of proposed stockholder nominations for our Board of Directors must be delivered in accordance with the requirements set forth in our bylaws and SEC Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Nominations must include the full name of the proposed nominee, a brief description of the proposed nominees business experience for at least the previous five years and a representation that the nominating stockholder is a beneficial or record owner of our common stock. Any such submission must be accompanied by the written consent of the proposed nominee to be named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected. Nominations should be delivered to: Alpha Modus Holdings, Inc., Board of Directors, 20311 Chartwell Center Drive, #1469, Cornelius, North Carolina, 28031, Attention: Chief Executive Officer. Our Board of Directors will recommend the directors to be nominated for election at annual meetings of shareholders. We have not and do not currently employ or pay a fee to any third party to identify or evaluate, or assist in identifying or evaluating, potential director nominees. **Board of Directors Role in Risk Oversight** Our Board of Directors oversees our shareholders interest in the long-term success of our business strategy and our overall financial strength. Our Board of Directors is involved in overseeing risks associated with our business strategies and decisions. It does so, in part, through its approval of all acquisitions and business-related investments and all assumptions of debt, as well as its oversight of our executive officers pursuant to annual reviews. Our Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing risks related to corporate governance and the selection of nominees to our Board of Directors. In addition, the Board reviews the potential risks related to our financial reporting. The Board meets with our Chief Financial Officer and communicates with representatives of our independent registered public accounting firm on a quarterly basis to discuss and assess the risks related to our internal controls. Additionally, material violations of our Code of Ethics and related corporate policies are reported to our Board of Directors. **Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers** The Amended and Restated Charter of the Company eliminates the Companys directors liability for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The DGCL provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability: | | | for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit; | | | | | | | | | | for any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; | | | | | | | | | | for any unlawful payment of dividends or redemption of shares; or | | | | | | | | | | for any breach of a directors duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders. | | | 86 | | If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of the Companys directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended. The Amended and Restated Charter requires the Company to indemnify and advance expenses to, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, its directors, officers and agents. The Company plans to maintain a directors and officers insurance policy pursuant to which the Companys directors and officers are insured against liability for actions taken in their capacities as directors and officers. Finally, the Amended and Restated Charter prohibits any retroactive changes to the rights or protections or increasing the liability of any director in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any act or omission to act giving rise to liability or indemnification. In addition, the Company has entered into separate indemnification agreements with the Companys directors and officers. These agreements, among other things, require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers for certain expenses, including attorneys fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by a director or officer in any action or proceeding arising out of their services as one of the Companys directors or officers or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at the Companys request. We believe these provisions in the Amended and Restated Charter are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers of the Company. **Code of Conduct and Ethics for Employees, Executive Officers and Directors** The Company has adopted a Code of Conduct and Ethics (the Code of Ethics) applicable to all of the Companys employees, executive officers and directors. The Code of Ethics is available on the Companys website at *https://alphamodus.com/*. Information contained on or accessible through the Companys website is not a part of this report, and the inclusion of the Companys website address in this report is an inactive textual reference only. The nominating and corporate governance committee of the Company Board will be responsible for overseeing the Code of Ethics and must approve any waivers of the Code of Ethics for employees, executive officers and directors. The Company expects that any amendments to the Code of Ethics, or any waivers of its requirements, will be disclosed on its website. **Change of Control and Termination Provisions** None. **Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act** Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of change in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely upon a review of Forms 3 and 4 and amendments thereto furnished to us under Rule 16a-3(e) during the year ended December 31, 2025, Forms 5 and any amendments thereto furnished to us with respect to the year ended December 31, 2024, and the representations made by the reporting persons to us, we believe that during the year ended December 31, 2024, our executive officers and directors and all persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements, except that Chris Chumas Form 3 was filed late, Rodney Sperry, Thomas Gallagher, Gregory Richter, and Scott Wattenberg have not yet filed Form 3s or Form 4s for issuances during 2025, and William Ullman has not yet filed a Form 4 for issuances during 2025. | 87 | | **Item 11. Executive Compensation.** The following discussion and analysis of executive compensation arrangements should be read together with the compensation tables and related disclosures that follow. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on our current plans and expectations regarding future compensation programs. Actual compensation programs that we adopt may differ materially from the programs summarized in this discussion. The following discussion may also contain statements regarding corporate performance targets and goals. These targets and goals are disclosed in the limited context of our compensation programs and should not be understood to be statements of managements expectations or estimates of results or other guidance. We specifically caution investors not to apply these statements to other contexts. This section describes the material components of the executive compensation program for certain of Alpha Modus executive officers (the Target NEOs) and directors. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements that are based on Alpha Modus current plans, considerations, expectations and determinations regarding future compensation programs. Alpha Modus intends to develop a compensation program that is designed to align executives compensation with Alpha Modus business objectives and the creation of stockholder value, while helping Alpha Modus to continue to attract, motivate and retain individuals who contribute to the long-term success of the company. Alpha Modus anticipates that compensation for its executive officers will have three primary components: base salary, an annual cash incentive bonus opportunity, and long-term equity-based incentive compensation. Decisions on the design and implementation of the executive compensation program will be made by the compensation committee. The executive compensation program actually adopted will depend on the judgment of the members of the compensation committee. **Summary Compensation Table Years Ended December 31, 2024, and 2025** The following table sets forth information concerning all cash and non-cash compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to the named persons for services rendered in all capacities during the noted periods.

The plan is intended to qualify under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code so that employee contributions and income earned on such contributions are not taxable to employees until withdrawn. Employees may elect to defer a percentage of their eligible compensation (not to exceed the statutorily prescribed annual limit) in the form of elective deferral contributions to the plan. The 401(k) plan also has a catch-up contribution feature for employees aged 50 or older (including those who qualify as highly compensated employees) who can defer amounts over the statutory limit that applies to all other employees. The Company does not currently make any matching or other contributions to participants accounts under the 401(k) plan. **Compensation of Directors** The key objective of our non-employee directors compensation program is to attract and retain highly qualified directors with the necessary skills, experience and character to oversee our management. We currently use equity-based compensation to partially compensate our directors due to our restricted cash flow position; however, we may in the future provide cash compensation to our directors. The use of equity-based compensation is designed to recognize the time commitment, expertise and potential liability relating to active Board service, while aligning the interests of our Board of Directors with the long-term interests of our shareholders. In addition to the compensation provided to our non-employee directors, which is detailed below, each non-employee director is reimbursed for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending in-person meetings of the Board of Directors and Board committees, as well for any fees incurred in attending continuing education courses for directors. On January 2, 2025, the Company entered into director agreements with its non-employee members of the Board of Directors, Gregory Richter, Michael Garel, Scott Wattenberg, and William Ullman, to be considered effective as of closing of the Companys business combination with Alpha Modus, Corp. (December 13, 2024), and pursuant to which the Company generally agreed to indemnify each of the non-employee directors to the broadest extent permitted by law and agreed to pay each non-employee director (i) $100,000 in common stock per annum, payable quarterly on the first day of each fiscal quarter and valued based on the closing price of the Companys common stock on December 13, 2024 (and the end of each fiscal quarter thereafter), and (ii) $25,000 in cash per annum, payable in quarterly installments. The Company intends to continue evaluating the compensation to be provided to its non-employee directors. None of the Companys directors were compensated as directors during 2024. Director compensation during 2025 is summarized in the table below. **Director Compensation Table** | Name | | Fees earned or paid in cash ($) | | | Stock awards ($) | | | Option awards ($) | | | Non-equity incentive plan compensation ($) | | | Nonqualified deferred compensation earnings ($) | | | All other compensation ($) | | | Total ($) | | | | William Alessi | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | | | | William Ullman | | $ | 25,000 | | | $ | 96,695 | | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | | | | 121,695 | | | | Greg Richter | | $ | 25,000 | | | $ | 96,695 | | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | | | | 121,695 | | | | Michael Garel | | $ | 25,000 | | | $ | 96,695 | | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | | | | 121,695 | | | | Scott Wattenberg | | $ | 25,000 | | | $ | 96,695 | | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | | | | 121,695 | | | | 91 | | **Item 12.
