Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used below are defined in the Merger Agreement.

General Description of the Merger Agreement

On December 1, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), Apimeds Pharmaceuticals US, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Apimeds” or “Acquiror”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Apimeds Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), MindWave Innovations Inc, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Lokahi Therapeutics, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Bio Sub”), and Erik Emerson, solely in his capacity as representative for the Bio Business (the “Bio Business Representative”). The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are referred to herein as the “Transactions” and the closing of the Transactions is referred to herein as the “Closing”.

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, immediately prior to the Closing, a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “DE SOS”) (such time of the filing of the Certificate of Merger, the “Effective Time”), in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). Pursuant to the Certificate of Merger, Merger Sub was merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as the Surviving Corporation. As a result of the Merger, the Company became a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Acquiror. At the Effective Time, all of the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub vested in the Surviving Corporation and all of the debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub became the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation. The Closing occurred simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement on the Closing Date.

Transaction Consideration

At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Acquiror, Merger Sub or the holder of any existing common stock of the Company (the “Existing Company Common Stock”): (i) each share of common stock of Merger Sub, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”); and (ii) each share of Existing Company Common Stock and existing preferred stock of the Company (collectively, the “Existing Company Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was canceled and converted into the right to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration (as defined herein), consisting of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share of the Acquiror (the “Acquiror Common Stock”) and Series A convertible preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share of the Acquiror (the “Acquiror Preferred Stock”), with each holder of such shares receiving, for each share of Existing Company Stock held immediately prior to the Effective Time, a pro rata portion of the Merger Consideration, allocated as follows: (A) a number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Acquiror Common Stock, such that the aggregate number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock issued to all holders of Existing Company Stock equaled 29.9% of the total number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately following the Effective Time (the “Common Stock Cap”), with each holder’s allocation rounded down to the nearest whole share; and (B) a number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Acquiror Preferred Stock, such that, immediately following the Effective Time, the holders of Existing Company Stock collectively held, on an as-converted to Acquiror Common Stock basis, 61% of the total issued and outstanding equity securities of the Acquiror (exclusive of the Acquiror Common Stock issued pursuant to clause (A) and calculated on a fully diluted basis). The shares of Acquiror Common Stock and Acquiror Preferred Stock issued to holders of Existing Company Common Stock, on an as-converted and fully diluted basis, collectively represent 90.9% of the equity capital of the Acquiror as of the Closing Date. The shares of Acquiror Common Stock, Acquiror Preferred Stock, and Company Common Stock issued in connection with the Business Combination are collectively referred to as the “Merger Consideration.”

Written Consent and Information Statement

Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, certain stockholders of Acquiror (the “Acquiror Stockholders”) constituting a majority of the outstanding voting power of the Acquiror Stockholders (the “Majority Holders”) entered into a Support Agreement, dated December 1, 2025 (the “Acquiror Support Agreement”), with the Company and the Acquiror, pursuant to which, among other things, the Majority Holders have agreed to execute a written consent (the “Written Consent”) approving the following matters (collectively, the “Proposals”): (i) the conversion of the Acquiror Preferred Stock issued to the Company stockholders in connection with the Merger, into shares of Acquiror Common Stock (the “Share Conversion”), (ii) the conversion of the Notes (as defined herein) issued to the Investors (as defined herein) in connection with the Note Financing (as defined herein), into shares of Acquiror Common Stock (the “Note Conversion” and together with the Share Conversion, the “Conversions”), (iii) the issuance of such shares of Acquiror Common Stock, upon the Conversions in accordance with the rules of the NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American”) , (iv) a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Acquiror Common Stock at a ratio of 1-for-10, (iii) an amendment (the “Charter Amendment”) to the Acquiror’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended, the “Acquiror Charter”) to effectuate the Reverse Stock Split and change the par value of the Acquiror’s capital stock from $0.01 to $0.001, (iv) an amendment to the Apimeds Pharmaceuticals US, Inc. 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”) to increase the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock issuable under the 2024 Plan to 2,096,679 (the “2024 Plan Share Increase”), and (v) the approval and adoption of the Apimeds Pharmaceuticals US, Inc. 2025 Equity Incentive Plan.

Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company is obligated to seek stockholder approval for the Note Conversion.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On December 1, 2025, the Acquiror issued a press release announcing the Closing. The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated into this Item 7.01 by reference.

The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, unless the Acquiror specifically states that the information is to be considered “filed” under the Exchange Act or specifically incorporates it by reference into a filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

Additional Information and Where to Find It

In connection with the Transactions and the Proposals, the Acquiror intends to file with the SEC the Information Statement, in preliminary and definitive form, and the Acquiror will file other documents regarding the Transactions and the Proposals with the SEC. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE INFORMATION STATEMENT, AS MAY BE AMENDED OR SUPPLEMENTED FROM TIME TO TIME, AND OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED BY THE ACQUIROR WITH THE SEC BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE ACQUIROR, THE COMPANY, THE TRANSACTIONS, THE PROPOSALS AND THE RISKS RELATED THERETO AND RELATED MATTERS.

The Definitive Information Statement will be mailed to stockholders of the Acquiror. Investors will be able to obtain free copies of the Information Statement, as may be amended from time to time, and other relevant documents filed by the Acquiror with the SEC (when they become available) through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov. Copies of documents filed with the SEC by the Acquiror, including the Information Statement (when available), will be available free of charge from Acquiror’s website at www.apimedsus.com under the “Investors” tab.

Forward-Looking Statements

All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in this report that address activities, events or developments that the Acquiror expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Words such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “potential,” “create,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “may,” “plan,” “will,” “guidance,” “look,” “goal,” “future,” “build,” “focus,” “continue,” “strive,” “allow” or the negative of such terms or other variations thereof and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future plans, actions, or events identify forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking.

These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Transaction, (including the Merger and related post-closing actions), the Note Financing and other financing activities, the Conversions and Reverse Stock Split, the post-Transaction company and its operations, strategies and plans, integration of businesses, governance changes, debt levels and leverage ratio, capital expenditures, cash flows and anticipated uses thereof, synergies, opportunities and anticipated future performance, including the management team and board of directors of the post-Transaction company, expected use of proceeds from the Note Financing and other financing activities, any future acquisitions and the maintenance of bitcoin reserves and related collateral arrangements. Information adjusted for the impact of the Transactions should not be considered a forecast of future results.

There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements included in this report. These include the risk that the Acquiror and the Company’s businesses will not be integrated successfully, synergies and growth from the Transactions may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; potential adverse reactions or changes to business or employee relationships, including those resulting from the announcement or completion of the Transactions; failure to obtain or maintain required listing approvals or satisfy NYSE American continued listing standards; inability to consummate planned financings on acceptable terms or within expected timeframes; volatility in bitcoin markets impacting collateral requirements; the risk that changes in the Acquiror’s capital structure and governance following the Transactions could have adverse effects on the market value of its securities; the ability of the Acquiror and the Surviving Corporation to retain customers and retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with their suppliers and customers and on the Acquiror and the Surviving Corporation’s operating results and business generally; the risk the Transactions could distract management from ongoing business operations or cause the Acquiror or the Surviving Corporation to incur substantial costs; the risk that the Acquiror may be unable to reduce expenses or access financing or liquidity; the impact of any related economic downturn; the risk of changes in governmental regulations or enforcement practices; and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. All such factors are difficult to predict and are beyond the Acquiror and the Company’s control, including those detailed in the Acquiror’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10- Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and such other documents of the Acquiror filed, or to be filed, with the SEC that are or will be available on the Acquiror’s website at www.apimedsus.com and on the website of the SEC at www.sec.gov. All forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that the Acquiror and the Company believe to be reasonable but that may not prove to be accurate. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and neither the Acquiror nor the Company undertakes any obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.
