**Hammer Fiber Optics Holdings Corp. is referred to herein as "we", "our", "us", or the "Company")**

**Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement**

On May 24, 2025, Hammer Fiber Optics Holdings Corp. (the "Company") entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement with Michael Sevell and Caban Global Reach Private Equity LP ("CGRPE"), a Delaware limited partnership. Under this agreement, Mr. Sevell assigned to CGRPE a convertible note previously issued by the Company in the principal amount of $2,680,798.50 (the "Loan") as a capital contribution to CGRPE, in accordance with Section 721 of the Internal Revenue Code.

On May 25, 2025, the Company and CGRPE executed a Debt Exchange Agreement pursuant to which the full principal amount of the Loan was exchanged for 10,154,542 shares of common stock of the Company, at a per-share conversion price of $0.264. This conversion fully extinguishes the Company's debt obligation and was consummated pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The conversion price was determined by mutual agreement between the parties and reflects the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the transaction date. No placement agent fees, commissions, or underwriting costs were incurred in connection with this transaction. The foregoing provides only a brief descriptions of the material terms of the agreements and does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder, and such descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the forms of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement and the Debt Exchange Agreement filed as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and are incorporated herein by reference.

**Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement**

In connection with the Debt Exchange Agreement, the Revised and Restated Convertible Note Agreement between the Company and Mr. Sevell, dated May 15, 2025, and subsequently assigned to CGRPE, was fully satisfied and terminated upon issuance of the equity.

**Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities**

The information disclosed in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference. The issuance of 10,154,542 shares of common stock to CGRPE was made pursuant to the exemption from registration under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

**Item 8.01 Other Events**

In conjunction with this transaction, the Company notes that both Michael Sevell and Michael Cothill, who serve as directors of the Company and are significant stakeholders in its strategic direction, have also been appointed as General Partners of Caban GlobalReach Private Equity LP ("CGRPE"), a Delaware limited partnership that has recently become a capital partner to the Company. This disclosure is being made in recognition of the fact that this constitutes a related party transaction. In accordance with best corporate governance practices and applicable law, the Board of Directors appointed an independent CGPRE Transactions Committee, composed solely of disinterested directors - Eric Maire and Mark Stogdill - to review, evaluate, and approve the terms of the transaction. The Committee was formed by Board resolution on May 23, 2025 and provided formal approval of the transaction via written consent on May 24, 2025. The full Board then ratified the Committee's approval. The transaction, including the assignment of the convertible note and its subsequent exchange for equity, was conducted at arm's length and deemed fair to the Company. The Board determined that the transaction aligns with the Company's objective of securing non-toxic, equity-based financing from strategic sources and is in the best interest of all shareholders.

Additionally, as disclosed in the Definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C filed on May 23, 2025, the Company is in the process of formally changing its corporate name. This change will take effect no earlier than 21 days after the mailing date of the Information Statement, which occurred on May 28, 2025. The Company will announce the effective date of the name change in a subsequent filing.

The arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator jointly selected by the Parties, provided, however, that if the Parties are unable to agree on the identity of the arbitrator within 10 Business Days of commencement of efforts to do so, each Party shall select one arbitrator and the three arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator, and the third arbitrator shall conduct the arbitration alone. The Parties agree that, in connection with any such arbitration proceeding, each shall submit or file any claim which would constitute a compulsory counterclaim (as defined by Rule 13 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedures) within the same proceeding as the claim to which it relates. Any such claim which is not submitted or filed in such proceeding shall be barred. The arbitrator shall be instructed to use every reasonable effort to perform its services within seven days of request, and, in any case, as soon as practicable. The Parties agree to be bound by the provisions of any limitation on the period of time by which claims must be brought under New Jersey law or any applicable federal law.

The award and decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be conclusive and binding on all Parties, and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any right to contest the validity or enforceability of this award shall be governed exclusively by the United States Arbitration Act. The arbitration shall be conducted in Sarasota, Florida.

Section 7.11 <u>Severability.</u> If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the Transactions are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Section 7.12 <u>Entire Agreement.</u> This Agreement, and the Note Agreement to the extent applicable hereto, constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Exhibit A

Revised and Restated Convertible Note Agreement<br>(Attached)

Exhibit B

Valuation Methodology & Share Issuance Summary

Re: Debt Conversion of $2,680,799 Convertible Note

<u>1.</u> <u>Conversion Price and Share Issuance Calculation</u>

Pursuant to Section 1(e) of the Revised and Restated Convertible Note Agreement, the conversion price is to be determined at 80% of the market price of the Company's common stock as of the date of conversion.

Due to significant volatility in the Company's share price and trading volume, the CGPRE Advisory Board has determined that a Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) provides a more stable and equitable basis for determining a fair market valuation. Accordingly, the VWAP used in this calculation reflects the intraday trading activity for May 23, 2025, as reported in Level 2 statistics, and is confirmed to be $0.33 per share.

In line with the terms of the convertible note, a 20% discount is applied to this VWAP to determine the effective conversion price.

* VWAP for May 23, 2025 (Level 2 Intraday): $0.33 per share

* Discount Applied: 20%

* Effective Conversion Price: $0.33 × 0.80 = $0.264 per share

<u>2. Total Shares to be Issued</u>

The total number of shares to be issued in satisfaction of the $2,680,799 convertible note is calculated as follows:

$2,680,799 ÷ $0.264 = 10,154,542 shares

These shares will be issued as restricted common stock, in reliance on the exemption from registration provided under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933. The shares will need to be recorded in book-entry form.
