FG Nexus Inc. (“FG Nexus”, the “Company”, “we”, or “us”), a Nevada corporation, undertook a significant strategic shift during 2025, adopting Ether, the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum blockchain (“Ether” or “ETH”) as its primary treasury asset. This strategy reflects the Company’s commitment to align the corporate treasury with the future of programmable finance, digital capital markets and decentralized infrastructure. In connection with the strategic shift, the Company distributed certain assets to a trust, which are no longer part of the consolidated group, as described in more detail below. In addition to operating a digital asset treasury, the Company continues to operate its merchant banking business and holds real estate and equity holdings.
Recent Developments and Transactions
Reverse Stock Split
On January 21, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a reverse stock split of the authorized, issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $ per share (the “Common Stock”) at a ratio of one (1)-for-five (5) (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split became effective on February 13, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), at 9:30 a.m., Eastern Time, and the Company’s common shares began trading on a split-adjusted basis at the commencement of trading on the same day. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, rather stockholders who would have otherwise received fractional shares received cash payments in lieu of such fractional shares. After the Reverse Stock Split, the Company had shares of Common Stock outstanding. All equity awards outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split were adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, all references to Common Stock herein have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.
