Datavault AI Inc. Amends 8-K to Correct CFO Title and Discloses Earnout Share Issuance to EOS Technology Holdings

Key Developments:

• Amended 8-K/A Filing: Datavault AI Inc. filed an amended Current Report on Form 8-K/A on July 29, 2026, to correct the title of its signatory, Brett Moyer, confirming his role as Chief Financial Officer.
• Material Agreement with EOS Technology Holdings Inc.: The company has entered into a Letter Agreement with EOS Technology Holdings Inc., allowing EOS to elect to receive certain earnout payments in the form of Datavault AI Inc. common shares rather than cash.
• Issuance of Unregistered Shares: The shares to be issued under this agreement are not yet registered under the Securities Act. They will be issued relying on exemptions, specifically Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, and will be subject to transfer restrictions.
• Registration Rights: Datavault AI Inc. is obligated to file a resale registration statement with the SEC to cover the resale of earnout shares received by EOS Technology Holdings, subject to various terms and conditions.

Details Investors Should Know:

• Earnout Structure & Share Issuance:
  • EOS Technology Holdings Inc. has the right to receive earnout payments in Datavault’s common stock, instead of cash, based on the terms set out in the Letter Agreement dated July 29, 2026.
  • These “Earnout Shares” have not been registered under the Securities Act and are considered “restricted securities.” They cannot be freely sold or transferred unless registered or an exemption applies.
  • An important restriction: The number of Earnout Shares is subject to an “Exchange Cap” and may be adjusted for corporate events like splits or mergers.
• Registration Rights & Liquidity:
  • Datavault AI Inc. is required to file a registration statement (on Form S-3 or other available forms) no later than 14 days after the applicable closing date for each tranche of shares issued, allowing EOS to resell these shares on the open market, subject to certain limitations and the company’s compliance with NASDAQ listing and SEC requirements.
  • The company must use commercially reasonable efforts to keep its shares, including Earnout Shares, listed on NASDAQ and to maintain the effectiveness and compliance of all required registration statements.
  • Earnout Shares will bear a restrictive legend until such time as they are registered or eligible for resale under Rule 144. The company has obligations to remove such legends when appropriate.
• Investment Representations by EOS:
  • EOS Technology Holdings represented that it is an accredited investor, is bearing economic risk, and has sufficient access to company information for due diligence.
  • No general solicitation or advertising was involved in this offering, and EOS has acknowledged the limitations on the transferability of the Earnout Shares.
• Potential Market Impact:
  • The issuance of a potentially significant number of new shares to EOS Technology Holdings for earnout payments could result in dilution to existing shareholders if/when the shares are registered and resold into the public market.
  • Depending on the number of shares ultimately issued and the market’s perception of the agreement’s impact on Datavault AI’s business relationship with EOS, this could affect the share price, especially if EOS chooses to sell a large number of shares upon registration effectiveness.
• Other Regulatory Notices:
  • The filing confirms that this transaction does not trigger written communications under Rule 425, nor does it involve soliciting material under Rule 14a-12, nor pre-commencement tender offers under Rules 14d-2(b) or 13e-4(c).
  • Datavault AI Inc. is not classified as an emerging growth company.

Summary Table of Key Security Details

What Shareholders Should Watch For

• Monitor future filings for the actual number of Earnout Shares issued, the filing and effectiveness of related registration statements, and any subsequent resale activity by EOS Technology Holdings.
• Understand that the potential for share dilution exists, and market activity may increase if and when these shares become freely tradable.
• Note that this amendment corrects a previous filing and clarifies executive titles, but the material development is the Letter Agreement and share issuance structure with EOS Technology Holdings.
