Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
Note Purchase Agreement and Convertible Notes
On September 11, 2026 (the "Signing Date"), Evernorth Holdings Inc. (the "Company") entered into a note purchase agreement (the "Note Purchase Agreement"), dated as of the Signing Date, between the Company and NH Investment & Securities Co. as trustee of Kyobo AIM Corporate Finance General Private Investment Trust No. 3, as purchaser (the "Purchaser"), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue $30.0 million principal amount (the "Original Principal Amount") of its 4.00% Convertible Senior PIK Notes due 2031 (the "Convertible Notes"), with such Original Principal Amount subject to increases in such principal amount in the form of interest payments by payment in kind of additional principal (the "PIK Interest"). The closing of the issuance of the Convertible Notes is conditioned upon the closing of the Company's business combination transaction with Armada Acquisition Corp. II (the "Business Combination"), which is expect to close during the fourth quarter of 2026. The payment for the Convertible Notes and the issuance of the Convertible Notes will be made concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination (such date, the "Effectiveness Date").
The net proceeds from the issuance are approximately $30.0 million before deducting any transaction expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of XRP and other activities within the XRP ecosystem.
The Convertible Notes will be the Company's senior, unsecured obligations and will rank at least pari passu, without preference or priority, with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company.
Upon the occurrence of (i) an Event of Default or (ii) a Fundamental Transaction (each, as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement), the holder of a Convertible Note may, at its option, require the Company to redeem all (but not less than all) of the Convertible Notes held by such holder at a price which, together with all payments previously made with respect to the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, provides the holder with a yield to put of 8.0% per annum on the Original Principal Amount, by delivering written notice to the Company (the "Investor Put Right").
The Convertible Notes will accrue PIK Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes outstanding from and after the Effectiveness Date at a rate of 4.00% per annum and will mature in 2031, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased in accordance with its terms. Interest will accrue and be capitalized until the earliest of (i) the conversion date, (ii) the fifth anniversary of the Effectiveness Date (the "Maturity Date") and (iii) the date of the Company's receipt of an Investor Put Right. Any PIK Interest that has accrued but not yet been capitalized for the partial interest period from the most received interest payment date through the applicable date referred to in the preceding sentence will be capitalized as of such date. Upon any default in any amount payable in cash under the Convertible Notes, interest will accrue on the overdue amount at a rate of 7.00% per annum, solely for the period of such delay. The Convertible Notes will not be subject to prepayment or redemption at the option of the Company and are subject to redemption at the option of the holder upon an Event of Default or a Fundamental Transaction (each, as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement).
At any time on or after the one year anniversary of the Effectiveness Date and prior to the Maturity Date, the holder of any Convertible Notes may convert all, but not less than all, of their Convertible Notes at any time at their election. The initial conversion rate is 98.03921 shares of the Company's Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Shares"), per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes (including all PIK Interest capitalized thereon), which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $10.20 per Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the product of (x) the conversion value per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes (determined based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average prices of the Shares over a 30 trading day observation period) on the conversion date multiplied by (y) the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes on the conversion date (expressed in thousands) would otherwise exceed 4.0 times the Original Principal Amount of the Convertible Notes, the conversion rate will be reduced on the conversion date to be equal to the conversion rate that would result in such product being equal to 4.0 times the Original Principal Amount of the Convertible Notes. The conversion of the Convertible Notes can be settled in cash, Shares or a combination thereof, at the option of the holder. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to proportional adjustment upon the occurrence of a Share dividend or a Share split or combination. In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute a "Merger Event" (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) occur, then the right of a holder to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes will be adjusted so that such holder will be entitled to convert such principal amount of Convertible Notes into the kind and amount of stock, other securities, cash or other property that such holder would have been entitled to receive if such holder had converted such Convertible Notes immediately prior to the Merger Event.
The Convertible Notes will have customary provisions relating to the occurrence of "Events of Default" (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement), which include the following: (i) certain payment defaults on the Convertible Notes (which, in the case of a default in the payment of interest that has accrued on the Convertible Notes, will be subject to a cure period of five business days); (ii) a default by the Company in its other obligations or agreements under the Note Purchase Agreement or the Convertible Notes if such default is not cured or waived within 30 days after the earlier of (a) the date on which an officer knew or should have known such default or (b) the date notice is given in accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement; (iii) certain defaults by the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries with respect to indebtedness for borrowed money of at least $7,500,000 (subject to the limitations set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement); (iv) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization involving the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries; (v) certain losses or unauthorized dispositions of digital assets of at least $30,000,000 of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (vi) certain hacking events or security breaches that would affect the digital assets or private keys of the Company, any of its subsidiaries or custodian; (vii) certain regulatory actions taken against the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (viii) certain events delisting the Class A Common Stock (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement); and (ix) certain failures by the Company to perform its settlement obligations upon conversion of the Convertible Notes in accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement.
If an Event of Default involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization events with respect to the Company (and not solely with respect to a significant subsidiary of the Company) occurs, then the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all of the Convertible Notes then outstanding will immediately become due and payable without any further action or notice by any person. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then, the Holder may at any time at its option, by notice to the Company, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.

A copy of the Note Purchase Agreement and the form of the certificates representing the Convertible Notes are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the above summary is qualified by reference to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement and the Convertible Notes set forth in such exhibits.
