Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 8, 2026, Alpha Modus Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with the family trust of the Company’s CEO, William Alessi, pursuant to which the trust will exchange an aggregate of 3,870,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”) for an aggregate of 109,588,265 shares of Class A common stock (the “Common Shares”).
In the Exchange Agreement, the trust 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). The number of Common Shares equals the number of shares of common stock that would have been issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares under the applicable conversion calculations in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, if the Preferred Shares had been convertible prior to June 13, 2026.
The Common Shares will not be issued, and the Preferred Shares will not be cancelled, until the Company has otherwise complied with the shareholder approval requirements of Rule 5635 of Nasdaq’s Listing Rules (the “Rules”). The Company is pursuing the exchange of the Preferred Shares for the Common Shares to (i) increase the market value of its listed securities in an effort to regain compliance with the MVLS Standard (defined below) under the Rules, and (ii) materially reduce the Company’s stockholders’ deficit.
The foregoing description of the Exchange Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On April 6, 2026, the Company received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company no longer meets the $500,000 minimum net income standard, the alternative minimum market value of listed securities of $35 million (“MVLS Standard”), or the alternative stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million required by Nasdaq’s Rules.
The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities, except that an indicator will be displayed with quotation information related to the Company’s securities on NASDAQ.com and NASDAQTrader.com and may be displayed by other third-party providers of market data information. If the Company fails to timely regain compliance with the Rules, the Company’s securities will be subject to delisting from Nasdaq.
Under the Rules, the Company has 45 days to submit a plan to regain compliance, and if the plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice to regain compliance.
If the Company’s common stock ultimately were to be delisted for any reason, it could negatively impact the Company by (i) reducing the liquidity and market price of the Company’s common stock; (ii) reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire the Company’s common stock, which could negatively impact the Company’s ability to raise equity financing; (iii) limiting the Company’s ability to use a registration statement to offer and sell freely tradable securities, thereby preventing the Company from accessing the public capital markets; and (iv) impairing the Company’s ability to provide equity incentives to its employees.
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The disclosure provided above in Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. The Common Shares will be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the Common Shares will be issued in exchange for the Preferred Shares, there was no additional consideration for the exchange, and there was no remuneration for the solicitation of the exchange.
Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Company’s beliefs and expectations relating to the Common Shares and Preferred Shares, and the Company’s compliance with Nasdaq’s Rules, and whether the Company’s common stock will remain listed on Nasdaq. These forward-looking statements are based on the current beliefs and expectations of the Company’s management with respect to future events, only speak as of the date that they are made and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

Actual results could differ significantly from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
Important factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, a material delay in the Company’s financial reporting, the possibility that the Company is unable to regain compliance with, or thereafter continue to comply with, Nasdaq’s listing rules, or experience violations of additional listing rules, and other factors contained in the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in the Company’s filings with the SEC from time to time, including, but not limited to, its Annual Report on Form 10-K and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the impact of circumstances or events that may arise after the date of the forward-looking statements, or other changes over time, except as required by law.
