Business update call today, May 20, 2025, at 9:00 AM ET

Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ:DVLT) (the "Company" and "Datavault AI"), a leader in AI-driven data experience, valuation and monetization, announced it expects to finalize the strategic acquisition of CompuSystems, Inc. (CSI) assets today, May 20, 2025. In alignment with this milestone, the Company will host a business update call at 9:00 AM ET, as previously announced.

"The closing of the CSI acquisition will mark a pivotal step in Datavault AI's growth strategy," said Nathaniel Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI. "Since the deal's announcement, we have begun client outreach, positioning the business for strong growth. We are focused on monetizing the historical, present and future data of CSI along with transitioning the entire company to scalable, repeatable and customer first solutions. Leveraging our patented suite of Web 3.0 technologies is paramount, and we are strengthening our team with an infusion of talent and event expertise that will provide us with a stable base of clientele, events and deal flow. By using our technologies inside meaningful and highly efficacious deployments and events with CSI, our AI and machine learning will also improve. Data Vault events will expand our revenue generation in a way that we can automate, replicate and scale. Our IBM watsonx^TM-powered AI platform and our Datavault AI agents will improve our customers' satisfaction, revenue generation and spend with Datavault AI in coveted sports, entertainment and venue markets. We've begun to apply our patented technologies of Data Vault, Adio, and WiSA towards exploiting these markets, and we expect to benefit from the technical capabilities that afford us a competitive advantage in managing events."

"We anticipate CSI will deliver solid revenue in 2025, comprising the majority of our 2H 2025 revenue target of $12 million to $15 million. Building on this momentum in 2026, the acquisition is expected to account for $15 million to $20 million of our target $40 million to $50 million in total revenue next year driven from a combination of DVHOLO, Adio, WiSA and Data Vault licensing and sales on our patented Information Data Exchange. I look forward to sharing more details and a broader business update during our investor call today," added Bradley.

In conjunction with the closing, Datavault will name John Mark LoGiurato as President of the CSI Division of Datavault AI (the "CSI Division"). On May 20, 2025, in connection with Mr. LoGiurato's appointment as President of the CSI Division, Mr. LoGiurato will be granted 500,000 units of restricted stock of Datavault AI (the "Units") as an inducement material to Mr. LoGuirato's entering into employment with the Company. The Units were approved by the board of directors of the Company and granted outside of the Company's 2020 Stock Incentive Plan and 2018 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). In connection with the award of Units, Mr. LoGiurato and the Company have entered into an Inducement Award Agreement for the Units, which agreement contemplates half of the Units vesting in equal 3-month installments over a 36-month period beginning June 20, 2025, and the other half of the Units vesting upon the CSI Division obtaining aggregate revenue equaling or exceeding $25 million over any trailing 12 calendar month period ending on or prior to the date that is 5 years from the grant date.

Datavault AI expects to complete the final steps outlined in the amended asset purchase agreement with CSI today. Following the transaction, CSI's assets and operations will be fully integrated into Datavault AI's business.
