On May 19, 2026, in connection with the consummation of the Transaction (as defined below), that certain Governance Agreement, dated December 8, 2025 (the "<u>Governance Agreement</u>"), by and among Twenty One Capital, Inc. (the "<u>Company</u>"), Tether Investments, S.A. de C.V., an El Salvador *sociedad anónima de capital variable* ("<u>Tether Investments</u>"), Stellar Beacon LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("<u>SoftBank</u>") and iFinex, Inc., a British Virgin Islands company ("<u>Bitfinex</u>"), was terminated in accordance with the terms of the Governance Agreement.

As previously disclosed, pursuant to the Governance Agreement, matters over which Tether Investments, Bitfinex and SoftBank may individually, directly or indirectly, exercise significant influence included: (i) the election of the directors on the Company's board of directors; (ii) amendments to the Company's Certificate of Formation and bylaws; (iii) changes in the size of the Company's board of directors; and (iv) matters identified as 20% Reserved Matters and 10% Reserved Matters (each as defined in the Governance Agreement).

The descriptions of the Governance Agreement in this Current Report on Form 8-K do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, the full text of the Governance Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.18 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "<u>SEC</u>") on December 12, 2025 and incorporated herein by reference.

**Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing**

As previously disclosed in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 16, 2026, each of Jared Roscoe and Vikas J. Parekh executed and delivered a letter of resignation from the Company's board of directors and all applicable committees thereof, which resignation would become effective immediately upon request by SoftBank. On May 19, 2026, in connection with the consummation of the Transaction, SoftBank requested the resignation of Mr. Roscoe and Mr. Parekh and their resignation from the Company's board of directors and all applicable committees thereof become effective immediately as of the consummation of the Transaction, pursuant to the Governance Agreement. The resignations of Mr. Roscoe and Mr. Parekh are not related to any disagreements with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices.

Prior to his resignation, Mr. Roscoe served as a member of the audit committee, the compensation committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee of the Company's board of directors.

Prior to Mr. Roscoe's resignation, the audit committee of the Company's board of directors was comprised of two independent directors, the minimum number required during the transition period for compliance with Section 303A.07(a) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, as provided in Section 303A.00 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. As a result of Mr. Roscoe's resignation, the audit committee does not have two independent members as required under NYSE rules.

The Company notified the NYSE of the resulting non-compliance on May 20, 2026. The Company expects to appoint, as soon as practicable, an additional member to the audit committee who meets the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 303A.02 of the Listed Company Manual.

## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**Twenty One Capital Outlines Operating Plans to Build the Bitcoin Company**

AUSTIN, Texas – BUSINESSWIRE –

Twenty One Capital, Inc. ("Twenty One" or "XXI") is building a Bitcoin-native public company designed to give investors differentiated exposure to Bitcoin. XXI's strategy is to bring together Bitcoin treasury, financial services, mining, and capital markets into a single operating platform focused on recurring revenue, capital-efficient Bitcoin accumulation, and long-term value creation.

Tether International, S.A. de C.V. ("Tether International"), XXI's controlling shareholder, announced today that it has acquired SoftBank Group's stake in XXI, further aligning the Company's shareholder base to advance its long-term Bitcoin strategy. At the closing of the transaction, SoftBank Group's representatives on the XXI Board of Directors stepped down in accordance with XXI's shareholder agreement.

SoftBank Group has played an important role in XXI's formation and early development, bringing the perspective of one of the world's most experienced technology investors to the Board. Its track record of backing category-defining companies across technology, infrastructure, financial services, and communications has helped shape global markets over multiple cycles, and its involvement gave XXI meaningful institutional depth at a foundational stage for the business.

With Tether's deepened commitment, Twenty One enters its next phase with strong shareholder alignment and a clearer path to advance the operating vision it was created to pursue.

Twenty One remains focused on becoming the premier listed Bitcoin company in the world: a public company that moves beyond treasury exposure alone by combining Bitcoin treasury, financial services, mining, lending, capital markets, and strategic consolidation into one integrated platform.

The Company believes this approach can create a new model for Bitcoin-native public companies, with operating businesses and recurring revenue opportunities designed around long-term Bitcoin accumulation as the central objective.

**About Twenty One**

Twenty One is a Bitcoin-focused operating company. It aims to build businesses across financial services and capital markets, providing shareholders with direct exposure to Bitcoin. The company's strategy is centered on capital-efficient Bitcoin accumulation.
