Amendment to Annual Report (Form 10-K/A)

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this "Amendment") amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K of AIxCrypto Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2026 (the "Original Form 10-K").

The Company is filing this Amendment solely to include the information required by Part III, Items 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of Form 10-K, which was omitted from the Original Form 10-K in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K. General Instruction G(3) permits such information to be incorporated by reference from the Company's definitive proxy statement or information statement if filed no later than 120 days after the end of the fiscal year covered by the Original Form 10-K. Because the Company did not file a definitive proxy statement or information statement containing such Part III information within that 120-day period, the Company is providing the Part III information in this Amendment.

This Amendment also amends Part IV, Item 15 of the Original Form 10-K solely to include the certifications required under Rule 13a-14(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, filed as exhibits hereto. Because no financial statements are included in this Amendment and this Amendment does not amend or update any financial statements or other financial information contained in the Original Form 10-K, certifications pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are not being filed with this Amendment.

Except for the inclusion of Part III information and the related update to Part IV, Item 15, this Amendment does not amend, modify or update any other disclosures contained in the Original Form 10-K. In addition, except as otherwise expressly stated herein, this Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing date of the Original Form 10-K. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-K and the Company's subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Our officers are appointed by our Board and hold office until removed by the Board. Our amended and restated bylaws provide that the authorized number of directors comprising our Board will be fixed, from time to time, by a majority of the total number of directors.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers. There is no arrangement or understanding between any director and any other person pursuant to which the director was selected.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our Board has adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics ("Code") that applies to our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. The Investor Relations section of our website, which is located at www.qlgntx.com, displays a current copy of the Code and all disclosures that are required by law in regard to any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the Code.

Insider Trading Policy

All officers, directors and employees of, and consultants and contractors to, us or any of our subsidiaries are subject to our Insider Trading Policy. The Insider Trading Policy prohibits the unauthorized disclosure of any nonpublic information acquired in the workplace and the misuse of material nonpublic information in the trading of our securities. To ensure compliance with the Insider Trading Policy and applicable federal and state securities laws, all officers, directors and employees of, and consultants and contractors to, us or any of our subsidiaries must refrain from the sale or purchase of our securities except in specific designated trading windows or pursuant to 10b5-1 trading plans that were preapproved. Even during a trading window period, certain insiders, including our named executive officers and directors, must comply with our designated pre-clearance policy prior to trading in our securities.

Director Independence and Board Committees

An "independent director" is defined generally as a director that is not an officer or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company's Board, would interfere with the director's exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Kevin A. Richardson II, Kevin Chen, Koti Meka, Jie Sheng, and Chad Chen serve as members of our Board. Our Board has determined that Kevin Chen, Jie Sheng, and Chad Chen are "independent directors" as defined in the listing rules of Nasdaq and under Rule 10-A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act and applicable SEC rules.

Under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have at least three members of the Audit Committee, all of whom must be independent and financially literate, and one member of the Audit Committee must qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in applicable SEC rules. As of June 6, 2026, The current members of our Audit Committee are Chen Shi, Chad Chen and Kevin Chen. Mr. Shi serves as the Chairman of the Audit Committee and qualifies as an "independent director" under SEC rules. Jie Sheng previously served as the Chairman of the Audit Committee, but has left the audit committee after being appointed President and CFO effective May 21, 2026.

We have adopted an Audit Committee charter, which details the purpose and principal functions of the Audit Committee, including to:

appoint, compensate, and oversee the work of any registered public accounting firm employed by us;
resolve any disagreements between management and the auditor regarding financial reporting;
pre-approve all auditing and non-audit services;
retain independent counsel, accountants, or others to advise the Audit Committee or assist in the conduct of an investigation;
seek any information it requires from employees - all of whom are directed to cooperate with the Audit Committee's requests - or external parties;
meet with our officers, external auditors, or outside counsel, as necessary; and
oversee that management has established and maintained processes to assure our compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and corporate policies.

Compensation Committee. We have a standing Compensation Committee. Under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have at least two members of the Compensation Committee, all of whom must be independent. Jie Sheng, Kevin Chen and Chad Chen serve as members of our Compensation Committee. Mr. Chad Chen serves as the Compensation Committee Chairman.

We have adopted a Compensation Committee charter, which details the purpose and responsibility of the Compensation Committee, including to:

determining and approving the compensation of our chief executive officer and our other executive officers, subject to review and ratification by the full Board of Directors;
administering our incentive compensation plans and equity-based plans;
reviewing, approving and recommending to the Board of Directors any employment agreements and any severance arrangements or plans; and
reviewing director compensation for board and board committee service at least once a year and recommending any changes to the Board of Directors.

The Compensation Committee's charter permits the committee to retain or receive advice from a compensation consultant and outlines certain requirements to ensure the consultant's independence or certain circumstances under which the consultant need not be independent. However, as of the date hereof, we have not retained such a consultant.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. We have a standing Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Jie Sheng, Kevin Chen and Chad Chen serve as members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance. Mr. Chad Chen serves as the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chairman.

identifying, screening and making recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding director nominees and Board of Directors committee composition;
overseeing our corporate governance practices and making recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding any changes to our corporate governance framework; and

Meetings of the Board of Directors

During our fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Board met from time to time informally and acted by written consent on numerous occasions.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

To our knowledge, none of our current directors or executive officers has, during the past 10 years:

been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);
had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against the business or property of the person, or of any partnership, corporation or business association of which he was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy filing or within two (2) years prior to that time;
been subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction or federal or state authority, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting, his or her involvement in any type of business, securities, futures, commodities, investment, banking, savings and loan, or insurance activities, or to be associated with persons engaged in any such activity;
been found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated;
been the subject of, or a party to, any federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated (not including any settlement of a civil proceeding among private litigants), relating to an alleged violation of any federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation, any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order, or any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or
been the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.

Indemnification and Limitation on Liability of Directors

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, limit the liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Nothing contained in the provisions will be construed to deprive any director of his or her right to all defenses ordinarily available to the director nor will anything herein be construed to deprive any director of any right he or she may have for contribution from any other director or other person.

At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers, employees or agents where indemnification will be required or permitted. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Pay Versus Performance (PVP)

In accordance with the SEC's disclosure requirements regarding pay versus performance, or PVP, this section presents the SEC-defined "Compensation Actually Paid," or CAP of our principal executive officer ("PEO") and named executive officers ("NEOs") for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, and our financial performance. Also as required by the SEC, this section compares CAP to various measures used to gauge performance at the Company for each such fiscal year.

Pay versus Performance Table - Compensation Definitions

Salary, Bonus, Stock Awards, and All Other Compensation are each calculated in the same manner for purposes of both CAP and Summary Compensation Table, or SCT values. The primary difference between the calculation of CAP and SCT total compensation is the calculation of the value of "Stock Awards," with the table below describing the differences in how these awards are valued for purposes of SCT total and CAP:

SCT Total CAP
Stock Awards Grant date fair value of stock awards granted during the year Fair value of stock awards that are unvested as of the end of the year, or vested during the year

Pay Versus Performance Table

In accordance with the SEC's PVP rules, the following table sets forth information concerning the compensation of our NEOs for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, and our financial performance for each such fiscal year:

For 2025, the Company's principal executive officers ("PEOs") were Kevin A. Richardson II and Jiawei Wang, each of whom served as Co-Chief Executive Officer during fiscal year 2025. The Company's non-PEO named executive officer ("NEO") for 2025 was Koti Meka, who served as Chief Financial Officer during fiscal year 2025.

For 2024 and 2023, the Company's PEO was Michael Poirier, who served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The Company's non-PEO NEOs for 2024 and 2023 were Amy Broidrick, who served as President, Chief Strategy and Operating Officer, and Tariq Arshad, who served as Chief Medical Officer and Senior Vice President.

Compensation Actually Paid ("CAP") was calculated beginning with the applicable Summary Compensation Table total for each PEO and the average Summary Compensation Table total for the non-PEO NEOs. The following amounts were deducted from, and added to, the applicable Summary Compensation Table total compensation amounts:

The fair value of stock options reported for CAP purposes in columns (B), (C), (D) and (E) above was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model for the purposes of this PVP calculation in accordance with SEC rules. This model uses both historical data and current market data to estimate the fair value of options and requires several assumptions. The assumptions used in estimating fair value for awards granted during 2022 were as follows: volatility 102%, expected life 5.99 years, expected dividend yield 0%, risk-free rate 3.04%. The assumptions used in estimating fair value for awards granted during 2021 and prior were as follows: volatility 102%, expected life 5.99 years, expected dividend yield 0%, risk-free rate 0.42% - 1.43%. There were no awards granted in 2023 or 2024.

Analysis of Information Presented in the Pay versus Performance Table

Our executive compensation program reflects a variable pay-for-performance philosophy. While we utilize several performance measures to align executive compensation with Company performance, all of those Company measures are not presented in the Pay versus Performance table. Moreover, we generally seek to incentivize long-term performance, and therefore we do not specifically align our performance measures with compensation that is actually paid (as computed in accordance with SEC rules) for a particular year. Further, we do not have the right to (without the executive's consent) reduce an executive's salary for a particular year to an amount lower than is provided for in any employment agreement with the executive which covers such year. In accordance with SEC rules, we provide the following narrative disclosure:

Compensation Actually Paid and Cumulative Total Stockholder Return

Compensation actually paid to our PEO increased from $262,274 in 2022 to $612,865 in 2023, and decreased to $504,183 in 2024. Average compensation actually paid to our named executive officers other than our PEO increased from $121,235 in 2022 to $488,856 in 2023, and decreased to $46,154 in 2024. Over the same period, the value of an investment of $100 in our common stock on the last trading day of 2021 decreased by $38.21 to $4.29 during 2022, further decreased by $2.46 during 2023, and further decreased by $22.23 during 2024.

Compensation Actually Paid and Net Loss

Compensation actually paid to our PEO increased from $262,274 in 2022 to $612,865 in 2023, and decreased to $504,183 in 2024. Average compensation actually paid to our named executive officers other than our PEO increased from $121,235 in 2022 to $488,856 in 2023, and decreased to $46,154 in 2024. Over the same period, our net loss decreased by $5,223,331 during 2023 (from a net loss in 2022 of $18,640,543 to a net loss in 2023 of $13,417,212), and decreased by $7,070,417 during 2024 (from a net loss in 2023 of $13,417,212 to a net loss in 2024 of $6,346,795).

Hedging or Offsetting Against Compensatory Securities

We have adopted a policy that our employees (including officers) and directors shall not purchase securities or other financial instruments, or otherwise engage in transactions, that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of equity securities granted as compensation to, or held directly or indirectly by, those persons.

We have adopted a formal claw-back policy for the recovery of incentive-based executive compensation erroneously awarded to executive officers based on misstated financial reporting measures.

Hedging or Offsetting Against Compensatory Securities

We have adopted a policy that our employees (including officers) and directors shall not purchase securities or other financial instruments, or otherwise engage in transactions, that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of equity securities granted as compensation to, or held directly or indirectly by, those persons.

We have adopted a formal claw-back policy for the recovery of incentive-based executive compensation erroneously awarded to executive officers based on misstated financial reporting measures.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of July 8, 2026 by:

our named executive officers;
our directors;
all of our current directors and executive officers as a group; and
each stockholder known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of our common stock.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to the securities. Shares of common stock that may be acquired by an individual or group within 60 days after June 30, 2026, pursuant to the exercise of options or other convertible securities, are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of such individual or group, but are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person shown in the table. The percentage of beneficial ownership of our common stock is calculated based on an aggregate of 20,234,993 shares outstanding as of July 8, 2025.

Except as indicated in the footnotes to this table, we believe that the stockholders named in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown to be beneficially owned by them, based on information provided to us by such stockholders. Unless otherwise indicated, the address for each director and executive officer listed is: c/o AIxCrypto Holdings, Inc., 1990 E. Grand Avenue, El Segundo, California 90245 USA.

* Represents beneficial ownership of less than 1% of the shares of common stock.

(1) Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the number of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person's actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding on the record date.

The 2024 Chen Convertible Debenture was settled pursuant to an Exchange Agreement entered into on November 18, 2024, under which the Company issued Series A-2 Preferred Stock in full satisfaction of the outstanding balance. As of March 31, 2026, none of the foregoing related-party convertible debt instruments remained outstanding.
