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

On September 2, 2025, iQSTEL Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Stock-for-Stock Exchange Agreement (the "Agreement") with Cycurion Inc. ("Cycurion"), a Delaware corporation trading on Nasdaq under the ticker CYCU. The Agreement finalizes the mutual equity partnership initially outlined in a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding announced on August 7, 2025, and provides for a strategic alliance focused on AI-driven cybersecurity solutions for the global telecommunications industry.

Under the terms of the Agreement, each party will issue to the other common stock with an aggregate value of $1,000,000. The number of shares to be issued will be calculated by dividing $1,000,000 by the lower of (i) the Nasdaq Official Closing Price of the issuing party's common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the execution of the Agreement (September 2, 2025), or (ii) the average Nasdaq Official Closing Price over the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding September 2, 2025.

The shares will be issued in book-entry form through the parties' respective transfer agents, with the closing expected to occur on the third business day following the Effective Date, but no later than 30 business days thereafter, subject to mutual agreement.

Each party intends to distribute up to 50% of the shares received as a stock dividend to its shareholders, subject to board and regulatory approvals, including compliance with Nasdaq and SEC requirements. The record date for the dividend distribution will be announced in a subsequent joint communication once regulatory approvals are obtained.

The Agreement also formalizes a strategic partnership to develop and commercialize AI-driven cybersecurity solutions, with six key pillars of collaboration: (1) cybersecurity for telecom carrier infrastructure, (2) white-label cybersecurity services, (3) AI-driven operational optimization for Cycurion, (4) development of a next-generation AI-powered cybersecurity platform, (5) coordinated product launches in the second half of 2025, and (6) capitalizing on the projected $500 billion cybersecurity market by 2030. The parties will integrate iQSTEL's AI capabilities (through its Reality Border division) with Cycurion's cybersecurity expertise and explore deeper collaborations, including potential joint ventures and shared research and development.

The Agreement includes standard representations and warranties, conditions to closing (such as board approvals and absence of legal impediments), and covenants, including compliance with securities laws and furnishing information for Rule 144 resale eligibility. The Agreement may be terminated by mutual consent, if the closing does not occur within 30 days, or upon material breach by either party. The Agreement is governed by New York law.

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

**Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.**

On September 3, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing the execution of the Agreement with Cycurion, the planned stock exchange, the intended dividend distribution, and the strategic AI-driven cybersecurity alliance. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

## Exhibit 99.1

**IQST - IQSTEL and Cycurion – CYCU Execute $1 Million Stock Exchange, Announce Dividend Distribution and Strategic AI Cybersecurity Alliance**

*Shares will be calculated based on September 2, 2025, and planned to be issued within 30 days. Each company will distribute up to 50% of the received shares as a stock dividend, making IQSTEL shareholders co-owners of Cycurion and Cycurion shareholders co-owners of IQSTEL.*

**New York, NY – September 3, 2025** – **IQSTEL Inc. (NASDAQ: IQST)** ("IQSTEL") and **Cycurion Inc. (NASDAQ: CYCU)** ("Cycurion") today announced the execution of their previously announced **$1 million stock exchange**, finalizing the mutual equity agreement that aligns both companies and strengthens their alliance to build a next-generation AI-driven cybersecurity powerhouse.

Under the terms of the agreement, each company will issue $1 million worth of its common stock to the other. The number of shares will be calculated by dividing USD $1,000,000 by the applicable per-share price of the issuing company's common stock. The per-share price will be the lower of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Nasdaq Official Closing Price on the trading day immediately preceding the execution of the agreement (September 2, 2025), or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the average Nasdaq Official Closing Price over the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding September 2, 2025.

The exact number of IQSTEL and Cycurion shares to be issued will be confirmed in writing by both parties.

***Note:*** *Both parties will complete all necessary regulatory approvals for the issuance and distribution of the dividends and will make a proper public announcement once approvals are obtained.*

**Dividend Distribution – Enhancing Shareholder Value**

Consistent with the agreement, **each company plans to distribute up to 50% of the shares it receives as a stock dividend to its shareholders**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • **IQSTEL shareholders** will receive Cycurion shares as a dividend.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • **Cycurion shareholders** will receive IQSTEL shares as a dividend.

This dividend effectively transforms investors of each company into **co-owners of both businesses**, creating stronger alignment and reinforcing the alliance's long-term potential. The **record date for the dividend** will be announced later in a joint communication once the definitive regulatory steps are completed. Importantly, **short sellers will not be entitled to the dividend.**

**Unlocking Shareholder Value**

We believe this stock exchange cements the foundation of a **mutual equity structure** designed to align long-term interests, foster cross-selling opportunities, and maximize value creation. Together, IQSTEL and Cycurion represent a combined shareholder base of over **30,000 shareholders** and weekly market liquidity in the millions of U.S. dollars.

"This transaction is transformative for both companies," said **Leandro Iglesias, CEO of IQSTEL**. "By delivering immediate value through the planned dividend distribution and aligning our equity structures, we are setting a new standard for collaboration in AI-driven cybersecurity and connectivity."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**L. Kevin Kelly, CEO of Cycurion**, added: "Finalizing this stock exchange unlocks the next phase of our collaboration. As equity partners, our strengths in U.S. government markets and global telecom will create powerful synergies for innovation and growth."

**Complementary Strengths – Powerful Synergies**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • **IQSTEL** brings a global business platform in telecommunications, fintech, AI, and digital services, with established relationships across **600+ telecom operators worldwide**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • **Cycurion** contributes deep expertise in **AI-driven cybersecurity** with a strong foothold in the **U.S. and government markets**.

Together, the companies will:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Develop and launch a **state of the art AI-driven cybersecurity solution**, combining IQSTEL's AI proprietary technologies with Cycurion's cybersecurity expertise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • **Cross-sell services**, giving IQSTEL the ability to bring Cycurion's cybersecurity products to its telecom clients worldwide, while Cycurion gains access to IQSTEL's fintech and AI-driven offerings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Accelerate product innovation through **integrated R&D efforts**, bringing next-gen cybersecurity and AI solutions to market faster.

**Looking Ahead**

This executed transaction marks only the beginning of IQSTEL and Cycurion's mutual equity journey. Both companies continue to explore opportunities for deeper collaboration, including joint ventures, expanded AI R&D, and new go-to-market strategies designed to scale revenues and capture additional market share.

**About IQSTEL Inc.**

**IQSTEL Inc. (NASDAQ: IQST)** is a **Global Connectivity, AI, & Digital Corporation** providing advanced solutions across **Telecom**, **High-Tech Telecom Services**, **Fintech**, **AI-Propietary Solutions**, and **Cybersecurity**. With operations in **21 countries** and a team of **100 employees**, IQSTEL serves a broad global customer base with high-value, high-margin services.

**Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:** The Company uses certain financial calculations such as Adjusted EBITDA, Return on Assets and Return on Equity as factors in the measurement and evaluation of the Company's operating performance and period-over-period growth. The Company derives these financial calculations on the basis of methodologies other than generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), primarily by excluding from a comparable GAAP measure certain items the Company does not consider to be representative of its actual operating performance. These financial calculations are "non-GAAP financial measures" as defined under the SEC rules. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures in operating its business because management believes they are less susceptible to variances in actual operating performance that can result from the excluded items, other infrequent charges and currency fluctuations. The Company presents these financial measures to investors because management believes they are useful to investors in evaluating the primary factors that drive the Company's core operating performance and provide greater transparency into the Company's results of operations. However, items that are excluded and other adjustments and assumptions that are made in calculating these non-GAAP financial measures are significant components in understanding and assessing the Company's financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be evaluated in conjunction with, and are not a substitute for, the Company's GAAP financial measures. Further, because these non-GAAP financial measures are not determined in accordance with GAAP, and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, the non-GAAP financial measures, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized accounting measurement under GAAP; it should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as a measure of operating results, or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. It is presented here not as an alternative to net income, but rather as a measure of the Company's operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA excludes, in addition to non-operational expenses like interest expenses, taxes, depreciation and amortization; items that we believe are not indicative of our operating performance, such as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities: These adjustments reflect unrealized gains or losses that are non-operational and subject to market volatility.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Loss on Settlement of Debt: This represents non-recurring expenses associated with specific financing activities and does not impact ongoing business operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Stock-Based Compensation: As a non-cash expense, this adjustment eliminates variability caused by equity-based incentives.

The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA offers a clearer view of the cash-generating potential of its business, excluding non-recurring, non-cash, and non-operational impacts. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful in evaluating the Company's operating performance compared to that of other companies in its industry because the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA generally eliminates the effects of financing, income taxes, non-cash and certain other items that may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance and also believes this information is useful to investors.
