    Introductory Note

    As previously announced on the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 28, 2026 (the “May 28 Current Report”), Hadron Energy, Inc. (f/k/a GigCapital7 Corp. (“GigCapital7”)) (the “Company” or “Combined Company” or “Hadron Energy”) consummated its business combination (the “Business Combination”) with Hadron Energy Operating Company Inc. (f/k/a Hadron Energy, Inc.) (“Hadron Energy Operating Company”) on May 22, 2026, pursuant to that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of September 27, 2025, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Business Combination Agreement, dated as of December 12, 2025, and by that certain Second Amendment to Business Combination Agreement, dated as of April 16, 2026 (the “Second Amendment”), by and among GigCapital7, MMR Merger Sub, Inc. and Hadron Energy Operating Company (the “Business Combination Agreement”). Certain terms used in this Current Report on Form 8-K have the same meaning as set forth in the final proxy statement/prospectus (the “Final Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) filed with the SEC on April 15, 2026 by GigCapital7, as supplemented by the Supplement.

     

    Item 2.01.

    Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

    As previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 8, 2026, on May 7, 2026, GigCapital7 held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Extraordinary Meeting”). At the Extraordinary Meeting, the GigCapital7 shareholders considered and adopted, among other matters, the Business Combination Agreement. As previously reported in the May 28 Current Report, on May 22, 2026, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement consummated the Business Combination (such consummation, the “Closing” and the date thereof, the “Closing Date”).

    As also previously reported in the May 28 Current Report, prior to the Extraordinary Meeting, the holders of 16,834,491 shares of GigCapital7’s common stock that were sold in its initial public offering (“Public Shares”), out of 20,000,000 shares of common stock (or about 84% of the Public Shares), exercised their right to redeem those shares for cash at a price of $10.71267171 per share, for an aggregate of $180,342,375.50, which redemption occurred concurrent with the Closing, and the balance of 3,165,509 shares (or about 16% of the Public Shares) reflected cash that remained in the trust account upon the Closing. Immediately after giving effect to the Business Combination (including as a result of the redemptions described above and the automatic separation of GigCapital7 units into Hadron Energy common stock (“Combined Company Common Stock”) and warrants for the purchase of shares of Combined Company Common Stock), there were (i) 71,498,842 shares of Hadron Energy’s issued and outstanding common stock, (ii) public warrants for the purchase of 20,000,000 shares of Combined Company Common Stock with an exercise price of $11.50 per share, (iii) private warrants for the purchase of 3,719,000 shares of Combined Company Common Stock with an exercise price of $11.50 per share, and (iv) warrants for the purchase of 5,000,000 shares of Combined Company Common Stock issued to former warrant holders of Hadron Energy Operating Company pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, with an exercise price of $12.00 per share. Upon the Closing, GigCapital7’s units ceased trading, and Hadron Energy’s common stock began trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Nasdaq”) under the symbol “HDRN” and the public warrants began trading on Nasdaq under the symbol “HDRNW.” As of the Closing Date, the directors and executive officers and their affiliated entities beneficially owned approximately 77.2% of Hadron Energy’s outstanding shares of common stock, and the former shareholders of GigCapital7 beneficially owned approximately 23% of Hadron Energy’s outstanding shares.

    As noted above, the per share redemption price of $10.71267171 for holders of Public Shares electing redemption was paid out of GigCapital7’s trust account, which after taking into account the redemptions, had a balance immediately prior to the Closing of approximately $33.9 million.

    FORM 10 INFORMATION

    Item 2.01(f) of Form 8-K states that if the predecessor registrant was a shell company, as GigCapital7 was immediately before the Business Combination, then the registrant must disclose the information that would be required if the registrant were filing a general form for registration of securities on Form 10. Accordingly, the Company is providing the information below that would be included in a Form 10 if the Company were to file a Form 10. The information provided below relates to the Company following the consummation of the Business Combination, unless otherwise specifically indicated or the context otherwise requires.

These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Company’s future manufacturing capacity and plant performance; market opportunity and market share; estimates and projections of adjacent energy sector opportunities; the Company’s projected commercialization costs and timeline; the Company’s ability to demonstrate scientific and engineering feasibility of its technologies; the Company’s ability to attract, retain and expand its future customer base; the Company’s ability to timely and effectively meet construction and development timelines and scale its production and manufacturing processes; the Company’s ability to develop products and services and bring them to market in a timely manner; the Company’s ability to compete successfully with energy products and solutions offered by other companies; the Company’s expectations concerning relationships with strategic partners, suppliers, governments, regulatory bodies and other third parties; the Company’s ability to maintain, protect, and enhance its intellectual property; the Company’s expectations regarding regulatory framework development; the potential for and timing of receipt of licenses and permits for current and future operations, including licenses to operate nuclear facilities from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission; the safety profile of the Company’s technology; and the Company’s expectations with respect to future performance. The risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

     

      •  

    the financial and business performance of the Company, including financial projections and business metrics and any underlying assumptions thereunder;

     

      •

      •  

    the outcome of any known and unknown litigation and regulatory proceedings.


    These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company and its management, are inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to, those described in “Risk Factors” in this Current Report on Form 8-K and in the Final Proxy Statement/Prospectus, as supplemented by the Supplement. Accordingly, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Except as may be required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should, however, review the factors and risks that the Company describes in the reports it will file from time to time with the SEC after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

    In addition, statements that “the Company believes” and similar statements reflect the Company’s beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based on information available to the Company as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. And while the Company believes that information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, that information may be limited or incomplete. The Company’s statements should not be read to indicate that it has conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and you are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements.

    Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements were reasonable at the time made, it cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither the Company nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. You should carefully consider the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section in connection with the forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K and any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that may be issued by the Company or persons acting on the Company’s behalf.

    Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders

    Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation

    Immediately prior to the Closing of the Business Combination, GigCapital7’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter”), was further amended and restated in its entirety (as so amended and restated, the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”) to, among other things:

      (b)

    classify and divide the Board into three classes, each with terms expiring at different times;

     

      (c)

    delete all provisions relating to Domesticated GigCapital7 as a special purpose acquisition company, the Business Combination and the redemption rights of the Public Shares in connection with the Closing of the Business Combination (including the prior provisions of Article IV, Section 4.8 (Business Combination) and references thereto);

     

      (d)

    increase the authorized share capital of the Company to 625,000,000 total shares, consisting of (i) 615,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and (ii) 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (eliminating the Class B common stock previously authorized under the interim certificate of incorporation);

     

      (e)

    amend certain terms in Article IX (Corporate Opportunities) with respect to certain non-employee directors of the combined company pursuing outside business activities and corporate opportunities; and

     

      (f)

    amend the exclusive forum provision (Article XI) to provide that (i) the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if it lacks jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware) shall be the sole and exclusive forum for certain internal corporate claims, and (ii) the U.S. federal district courts shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, while specifying that such provision does not apply to claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended;

    Item 4.01.

    Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountants.

    Upon the Closing of the Business Combination, Hadron Energy Operating Company is considered the “accounting acquiror” of Hadron Energy, Inc. (f/k/a GigCapital7 Corp.), even though Hadron Energy, Inc. is the legal acquiror. BPM LLP (“BPM”), which prior to the Closing, was the independent registered public accounting firm of GigCapital7 Corp., and therefore has been and remains the independent registered public accounting firm of the legal acquiror Company, was engaged by the Board of Directors of Hadron Energy Operating Company and its audit committee to replace WithumSmith+Brown, PC (“Withum”) on April 24, 2026 with an intent for BPM to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm of the accounting acquiror upon the Closing. The Boards of Directors of Hadron Energy Operating Company and Hadron Energy, Inc., and the audit committee of the Board of Directors of Hadron Energy, Inc. did not take any action with respect to the status of Withum as the audit committee of the Board of Directors of Hadron Energy, Inc. had previously named BPM as the independent registered public accounting firm of Hadron Energy, Inc.

    The reports of Withum on Hadron Energy Operating Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 and for the period from July 8, 2024 (inception) to December 31, 2024 did not contain any adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

    During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and for the period from July 8, 2024 (inception) to December 31, 2024, and the subsequent interim period through April 24, 2026, there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act).

    The Company has provided Withum with a copy of the above disclosures, and Withum has furnished the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating that it agrees with the statements made above. A copy of Withum’s letter, dated May 29, 2026, is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.

    During the two most recent fiscal periods, consisting of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and the period from July 8, 2024 (inception) to December 31, 2024, and the subsequent interim period through April 23, 2026, neither Hadron Energy Operating Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted BPM LLP regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Hadron Energy Operating Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to Hadron Energy Operating Company that BPM LLP concluded was an important factor considered by Hadron Energy Operating Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” or a “reportable event”, each as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and 304(a)(1)(v), respectively.

    2026 Equity Incentive Plan

    As previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 8, 2026, at the Extraordinary Meeting, the GigCapital7 stockholders considered and approved the Hadron Energy, Inc. 2026 Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) and reserved 10,021,784 shares of common stock for issuance thereunder. The Incentive Plan with the reserved number of shares, which as approved by the GigCapital7 stockholders was to have an amount reserved equal to 10% of the fully-diluted number of shares of Hadron Energy as of the Closing of the Business Combination, was approved by the Board of GigCapital7 on May 7, 2026 once that number was determined. The Incentive Plan


    became effective immediately upon the Closing of the Business Combination. The number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan will automatically increase on January 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2027 and continuing through January 1, 2037, by 5% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year, or a lesser number of shares as may be determined by the board of directors.

    A more complete summary of the terms of the Incentive Plan is set forth in the Final Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the section titled “Proposal No. 6—The Incentive Plan Proposal”. That summary and the foregoing description of the Incentive Plan are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the Incentive Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
