Item 8.01 Other Events.

On November 8, 2024, Nukkleus Inc. (the “Company”), Mr. Khurshid and Match Financial Limited (“Match Financial”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered a settlement agreement. This agreement contemplated the sale of Match Financial’s shares in Digital RFQ Limited (“DRFQ”) to Mr. Khurshid subject to the Company obtaining shareholder approval.

Match Financial, incorporated on March 6, 2019, operates as a holding company and is the sole shareholder of DRFQ, an FCA-registered electronic money directive agent specializing in cross-border digital payments utilizing blockchain technology. The Company acquired Match Financial in 2021 as part of its strategy to expand in the financial technology and cryptocurrency sectors. Match Financial holds minimal assets beyond its investment in DRFQ.

On August 5, 2025, the Company was notified that on July 29, 2025, Match Financial was placed into administration in the United Kingdom pursuant to the Insolvency Act 1986 resulting in the appointment of two administrators (the “Administrators”). The administration was initiated by the sole director of Match Financial, Jamal Khurshid. According to the notice sent to the Company, on July 29, 2025, the Administrators completed a pre-packaged sale of Match Financial’s entire shareholding in DRFQ to Match Financial Holdings Limited, a newly formed entity owned by Mr. Khurshid, for nominal consideration of £102,000. The transaction results in the divestiture of DRFQ.

The Company does not expect the administration of Match Financial to have a material adverse impact on its consolidated financial position or operations, as Match Financial contributed negligible revenue and assets to the Company.

The Company continues to pursue its defense business related initiatives. The Company is presently seeking shareholder approval of the Securities Purchase Agreement and Call Option (the “Star Agreement”) with Star 26 Capital Inc. (“Star”) initially entered in December 2024 with the shareholders of Star (“Star Equity Holders”) and an officer of the Company, acting in his capacity as the representative of the Star Equity Holders, to acquire a controlling 51% interest in Star, a Nevada Corporation, owning 100% of Rimon, an Israeli corporation engaged as a supplier of generators for “iron dome” launchers and other defense products.
