  Braiin issued 28,909,272 shares (post-split equivalent) valued at approximately $98 million at an adjusted price of $3.39 per share on February 2, 2026, for the Connect Simple acquisition. Approximately 98% of these shares were issued to entities controlled by Mr. Saligrama and his family trust.

• High-Interest Related-Party Debt Financing

  On February 11, 2026, Braiin secured a $12 million principal secured non-convertible debenture facility from a related party, Advaitha, receiving $9.4 million in cash. This debt carries an approximate 14% annual interest rate and is secured by first-priority interests over the company's and its subsidiaries' assets.

• Debt Covenant Tightening

  A Deed of Variation on March 12, 2026, modified the debenture terms, removing early repayment penalties but also tightening the Major Trigger and Minor Trigger thresholds for default, making the debt more sensitive to financial performance.

This filing details significant related-party transactions involving Braiin Ltd's President, COO, and director, Mr. Viswanatha Chetan Saligrama, and his family trust entities. It includes the issuance of approximately $98 million in shares for the Connect Simple acquisition, with nearly all shares going to related parties. Additionally, the company secured a $9.4 million cash component of a $12 million secured debenture facility from a related party at a high 14% interest rate, with first-priority security over company assets. Subsequent modifications to this debt facility introduced tighter default triggers. These transactions highlight the company's reliance on insider financing for acquisitions and operations, albeit at potentially less favorable terms for public shareholders due to the high cost of debt and significant dilution to related parties.
