Background
As previously reported in the Current Report on Form
8-K filed by VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (the “
Company
”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “
SEC
”)
on October 6, 2026 (the “
Prior 8-K
”), on September 30, 2026, the Company entered into a Joint Venture and Operating
Agreement (the “
JV Agreement
”) with Sadot Group Inc., a Nevada corporation (“
Sadot
”), and CMJV LLC,
a Nevada limited liability company formed by the Company (“
CMJV
”). Under the JV Agreement, (i) the Company and its
wholly owned subsidiary, VisionWave IL Ltd. (“
VisionWave Israel
”), contributed to CMJV, pursuant to a Contribution
and Assignment Agreement dated as of September 30, 2026 (the “
Contribution Agreement
”), their rights under the loan
agreement, promissory notes, security documents, share purchase agreement and related agreements with C.M. Composite Materials Ltd., an
Israeli company (“
CM
”), and its controlling shareholder (collectively, the “
CM Rights
”), (ii) CMJV
issued 7,814,323 units of membership interest to each of the Company and Sadot, (iii) Sadot committed to make capital contributions to
CMJV of up to U.S. $7,814,323 (the “
Capital Commitment
”), to be on-lent by CMJV to CM, and (iv) Sadot agreed to issue
to the Company 250,000 shares of Sadot common stock (the “
Entry Premium Shares
”). Concurrently, CM and its controlling
shareholder executed an Acknowledgment, Consent and Loan Agreement Amendment in favor of the Company, CMJV and Sadot (the “
CM
Acknowledgment
” and, together with the JV Agreement and the Contribution Agreement, the “
Transaction Documents
”).
The descriptions of the Transaction Documents in the Prior 8-K are incorporated herein by reference.
The Letter Agreement
On October 12, 2026 (the “
Effective Date
”),
the Company, VisionWave Israel, CMJV, Sadot, CM and Matania (Mati) Moskovich, CM’s controlling shareholder (the “
Seller
”),
entered into a letter agreement (the “
Letter Agreement
”) terminating the JV Agreement and unwinding the transactions
consummated at the closing thereunder, other than the issuance of the Entry Premium Shares, which the Company will retain, as described
below.
Circumstances of the Termination
The JV Agreement required CMJV to deliver, and to
cause CM to deliver, to the Company and Sadot quarterly unaudited and annual audited consolidated financial statements of CM and its subsidiary
prepared in accordance with IFRS or U.S. GAAP (audited, where required for either party’s SEC reporting, by a PCAOB-registered firm),
together with such other information as either party required to comply with its obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “
Exchange Act
”), and Regulation S-X. The JV Agreement permitted either party to withhold approval of
any draw request by CM while CM was delinquent in delivering such financial statements and provided that any such failure constituted
an event of default under the loan agreement between CMJV and CM.
On or about October 8, 2026, CM advised the Company,
CMJV and Sadot that it is unable to produce the financial statements required by the JV Agreement and has no present ability to engage
a PCAOB-registered or other independent auditor to audit such financial statements within any period acceptable to the Company and Sadot
(the “
Financial Statement Deficiency
”). As a result of the Financial Statement Deficiency, no draw request could be
approved and no portion of the Capital Commitment could be funded under the JV Agreement, and Sadot advised the Company that it would
be unable to account for and report on its investment in CMJV in its periodic reports and that the fundamental purpose for which it entered
into the JV Agreement could not be achieved. In light of the foregoing, the parties determined that it was in their respective best interests
to terminate the JV Agreement and unwind the transactions consummated at the closing, without any party admitting any breach, default
or liability.
As of the Effective Date, Sadot had not funded any
portion of the Capital Commitment, no draw request had been delivered, and the acquisition by CMJV of the shares of CM contemplated by
the Transaction Documents had not occurred.
Material Terms of the Letter Agreement
Under the Letter Agreement, effective as of the Effective
Date:
Termination.
The JV Agreement was
terminated in its entirety, subject only to the survival of its confidentiality and miscellaneous provisions to the extent necessary to
interpret and enforce the Letter Agreement, and the Contribution Agreement and the CM Acknowledgment were terminated as to Sadot. The
Capital Commitment and all other funding obligations of Sadot were terminated and extinguished, and the Company and CMJV acknowledged
that no funding default by Sadot had occurred. No early termination penalty, break fee or other amount is payable by any party by reason
of the termination.
Cancellation of Sadot’s Units; Withdrawal.
All 7,814,323 units of CMJV held by Sadot were cancelled for no consideration, Sadot withdrew as a member of CMJV, and the Company
became the sole member of CMJV. Sadot’s two designees resigned as managers of CMJV. The Company may continue CMJV as a wholly owned
subsidiary or dissolve it, in its discretion, and is responsible for CMJV’s fees, taxes and expenses.
Retention of Entry Premium Shares; Issuance
of VisionWave Consideration Shares. The Company will retain all 250,000 Entry Premium Shares previously issued by Sadot. In consideration
for the Company’s retention of those shares, the negotiated termination and unwinding, the mutual releases and the parties’
desire to maintain a constructive strategic relationship, the Company will issue to Sadot 500,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock (the “VisionWave Consideration Shares”). The VisionWave Consideration Shares will constitute full and final consideration
to Sadot with respect to the Company’s retention of the Entry Premium Shares. The VisionWave Consideration Shares are to be issued
within three (3) Business Days following the Effective Date, subject to Sadot providing the Company and its transfer agent with such information
and documentation as may reasonably be required to effect the issuance. The parties intend that the termination of the CMJV arrangement
will not prevent them from evaluating other mutually beneficial opportunities in the future.
CM Rights Retained by the Company.
Sadot
ceased to be a beneficiary of the CM Acknowledgment and disclaimed any right, title or interest in or to the CM Rights, the loans made
by the Company and VisionWave Israel to CM, the related collateral, the share purchase agreement with the Seller and the other assets
of CMJV, the Company and VisionWave Israel. The Company, VisionWave Israel and CMJV may, as among themselves, retain the Contribution
Agreement in effect, rescind it or otherwise deal with the CM Rights as they determine, and may retain or amend the CM Acknowledgment
and the loan agreement with CM as they and CM may agree. The Company’s rights and remedies against CM and the Seller under the loan
agreement, the share purchase agreement and the related agreements, including in respect of the Financial Statement Deficiency, are not
affected by the Letter Agreement.
Indemnification.
The Company, VisionWave
Israel and CMJV, jointly and severally, agreed to indemnify Sadot and its representatives against losses arising out of or relating to
the CM Rights, the loan documents with CM, the share purchase agreement, the Company’s memorandum of understanding with Belrise,
the settlement agreement with Giza, the insolvency proceedings affecting CM’s subsidiary, the obligations retained by the Company
under the JV Agreement, and any claim by CM, the Seller or any other person in respect thereof, and against any claim in respect of CMJV
or its affairs.
Mutual Releases.
The parties exchanged
mutual general releases of all claims arising out of or relating to the Transaction Documents, the closing, the Capital Commitment, the
units of CMJV, the Entry Premium Shares and the Financial Statement Deficiency, other than obligations under the Letter Agreement, claims
arising from fraud or willful misconduct and, as among the Company, VisionWave Israel, CMJV, CM and the Seller, claims under the share
purchase agreement, the loan documents with CM, the Belrise memorandum of understanding and the Giza settlement agreement.
Other Provisions.
The Letter Agreement
contains customary provisions regarding confidentiality and return of confidential information, consultation on the parties’ respective
public disclosures, a joint press release, non-disparagement, representations and warranties as to authority and ownership, expenses (each
party bears its own), further assurances, and governing law (Nevada), with disputes resolved in the manner provided in the JV Agreement.
Related Person
As disclosed in the Prior 8-K, Haggai (Chagay) Ravid,
a member of the Company’s board of directors (the “
Board
”), is also Executive Director and a director of Sadot
and was one of Sadot’s designated managers of CMJV. Mr. Ravid did not participate in the negotiation of the Letter Agreement on
behalf of the Company. The Letter Agreement was approved by the Board, including by a majority of the disinterested directors, following
disclosure of Mr. Ravid’s relationship with Sadot, in accordance with Section 144 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the
Company’s related person transaction policy.
The foregoing summary of the Letter Agreement does
not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Letter Agreement, a copy of which is
filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The Letter Agreement has been included
to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company,
Sadot, CM or the Seller. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Letter Agreement were made only for purposes of
that agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties thereto, and may be subject to limitations agreed
upon by the parties. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations
of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company or any other party.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, including
statements regarding the Company’s continued ownership of the CM Rights, its rights and remedies against CM and the Seller, the

and the Company’s plans with respect to CMJV and its relationship with CM. Words such as “expects,” “intends,”

collateral and other rights against CM and the Seller under Israeli law; the insolvency proceedings affecting CM’s subsidiary; the
Company’s indemnification obligations to Sadot under the Letter Agreement; the accounting consequences of the termination, including
any impairment; the Company’s ability to pursue the CM opportunity, or any alternative transaction, without a co-investor; and the
other risks described under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September
30, 2025 and its subsequent filings with the SEC. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report, and the Company
undertakes no obligation to update them except as required by law.

Rule 506(b) of Regulation D thereunder, to a single accredited investor that has represented that it is acquiring the shares for investment
and not with a view to distribution, without general solicitation or advertising, in consideration of the Company’s retention of
the 250,000 Entry Premium Shares and the other matters described in Item 1.02. The VisionWave Consideration Shares will be restricted
securities and will bear a restrictive legend. No underwriting discounts or commissions will be paid in connection with the issuance.

Re:
Termination of Joint Venture and Operating Agreement dated as of September 30, 2026, and Unwinding of Related Transactions
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter agreement (this “Letter Agreement”)
sets forth the agreement of Sadot Group Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Sadot”), VisionWave Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“VisionWave”), VisionWave IL Ltd., an Israeli company and wholly owned subsidiary of VisionWave (“VisionWave Israel”),
CMJV LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“CMJV”), C.M. Composite Materials Ltd., an Israeli company, registration number
513931980 (“CM”), and Matania (Mati) Moskovich, an individual residing in Israel (the “Seller” and, together with
Sadot, VisionWave, VisionWave Israel, CMJV and CM, the “Parties” and each a “Party”), to terminate the Joint Venture
and Operating Agreement dated as of September 30, 2026 (the “JV Agreement”), by and among VisionWave, Sadot and CMJV, and
to unwind the transactions consummated at the Closing thereunder, except that VisionWave shall retain the Entry Premium Shares on the
terms set forth below, and to provide for the other matters set forth herein. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Letter Agreement
have the meanings given to them in the JV Agreement.
1.       Background.
(a)
On September 30, 2026, the Parties (other than the Seller and CM, except as provided in the CM Acknowledgment)
entered into the JV Agreement, pursuant to which (i) VisionWave and VisionWave Israel contributed the CM Rights to CMJV pursuant to the
Contribution and Assignment Agreement dated as of September 30, 2026 (the “
Contribution Agreement
”), (ii) CMJV issued
7,814,323 Units to each of VisionWave and Sadot, (iii) Sadot committed to make capital contributions to CMJV in the aggregate amount of
U.S. $7,814,323 (the “
Capital Commitment
”), to be on-lent by CMJV to CM as Advances under the Loan Agreement, and (iv)
Sadot agreed to issue to VisionWave 250,000 shares of Sadot Common Stock (the “
Entry Premium Shares
”) pursuant to Section
3.3 of the JV Agreement. Sadot reported the JV Agreement on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 1, 2026.
(b)
Concurrently with the JV Agreement, CM and the Seller executed the Acknowledgment, Consent and Loan Agreement
Amendment dated as of September 30, 2026 in favor of VisionWave, CMJV and Sadot (the “
CM Acknowledgment
”), which, among
other things, acknowledged the assignment of the CM Loan Documents to CMJV, increased the Commitment under the Loan Agreement to U.S.
$16,628,646, conformed the Advance request procedure to the Draw Request procedure in Section 4.4 of the JV Agreement, and required CM
to deliver the reports and information described in Section 7.10 of the JV Agreement directly to each Member. The JV Agreement, the Contribution
Agreement, the CM Acknowledgment and the other agreements, certificates and instruments delivered at the Closing are referred to collectively
as the “
Transaction Documents
.”
(c)
Section 7.10 of the JV Agreement requires CMJV to deliver, and to use its rights under the Loan Agreement
to cause CM to deliver, to each Member (i) within forty-five (45) days after the end of each fiscal quarter, unaudited consolidated financial
statements of CM and FBM, (ii) within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year, audited consolidated financial
statements of CM and FBM prepared in accordance with IFRS or U.S. GAAP and, if required for the SEC reporting of either Member, audited
by a PCAOB-registered firm, and (iii) such other information as is necessary for a Member to comply with its obligations under the Exchange
Act and the rules of Nasdaq and to prepare its financial statements. Section 7.11 of the JV Agreement acknowledges that each Member is
a reporting company under the Exchange Act that may be required to include financial statements of CM prepared in accordance with Regulation
S-X in its periodic reports and registration statements, and requires CMJV and each Member to cooperate, and CMJV to cause CM to cooperate,
to provide such financial statements on a timely basis. Section 4.4(b)(iv) of the JV Agreement permits a Member to withhold approval of
any Draw Request if CM is delinquent in the delivery of any financial statements required under the Loan Agreement or Section 7.10, and
Section 5.2(g)(iii) of the JV Agreement provides that any failure by CM to deliver the reports required by Section 7.10 constitutes an
Event of Default under the Loan Agreement.
(d)
On or about October 8, 2026, CM advised VisionWave, CMJV and Sadot that CM is unable to produce the financial
statements described in Section 7.10 of the JV Agreement, including audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements of CM and
FBM prepared in accordance with IFRS or U.S. GAAP and that CM has no present ability to engage a PCAOB-registered or other independent
auditor to audit such financial statements within any period acceptable to the Members (the “
Financial Statement Deficiency
”).
As a result of the Financial Statement Deficiency, (i) no Draw Request can be approved under Section 4.4(b) of the JV Agreement and no
Matching Advance can be funded, (ii) Sadot is unable to evaluate the Approved Budget, the use of proceeds of any Advance or the condition
of the CM Collateral, (iii) Sadot is unable to account for and report on its investment in CMJV and CMJV’s loans to, and prospective
ownership interest in, CM in Sadot’s periodic reports and registration statements under the Exchange Act and the Securities Act,
and (iv) the fundamental purpose for which Sadot entered into the JV Agreement cannot be achieved.
(e)
As of the date of this Letter Agreement, (i) Sadot has not funded any Matching Advance, and the Funded
Amount is U.S. $0, (ii) no Draw Request, Funding Notice or request for expenses under Section 7.12 of the JV Agreement has been delivered,
(iii) no Funding Default has occurred, (iv) the CM Acquisition Closing has not occurred and the Belrise Condition has not been satisfied
or waived, and (v) the Entry Premium Shares were issued to VisionWave in book-entry form and shall be retained by VisionWave as provided
in Section 4.
(f)
In light of the Financial Statement Deficiency, the Parties have determined that it is in their respective
best interests to terminate the JV Agreement, to unwind the transactions consummated at the Closing, other than VisionWave’s ownership
of the Entry Premium Shares as provided in Section 4, and to release one another from all obligations under the Transaction Documents,
in each case on the terms set forth in this Letter Agreement, without any Party admitting any breach, default or liability.
2.       Termination of the JV Agreement;
Capital Commitment.
(a)
Effective as of the date on which this Letter Agreement has been executed and delivered by all Parties
(the “
Effective Date
”), the JV Agreement is terminated in its entirety and shall be of no further force or effect,
and no Party shall have any further right, obligation or liability thereunder, except for (i) the obligations set forth in this Letter
Agreement and (ii) Section 13.1 (Confidentiality) and Article XVI (Miscellaneous) of the JV Agreement, solely to the extent necessary
to interpret and enforce this Letter Agreement (the “
Surviving Provisions
”). The Parties agree that this Letter Agreement
constitutes an amendment and termination of the JV Agreement made in writing and signed by each Party in accordance with Section 16.4
thereof, and a termination of the Contribution Agreement and the CM Acknowledgment, as provided in Section 5, made in accordance with
their respective terms.
(b)
Effective as of the Effective Date, the Capital Commitment, the Matching Commitment, the Funding Cap,
each Minimum Funding Milestone, the Funding Period and the True-Up are terminated and extinguished, and Sadot shall have no obligation
to fund any Matching Advance, Cure Contribution, expense of CMJV or other amount to CMJV, VisionWave, VisionWave Israel or CM under the
JV Agreement, the Loan Agreement, the CM Acknowledgment or otherwise. VisionWave and CMJV acknowledge that Sections 2.4(c), 10.3 and 16.10
of the JV Agreement (including any right to enforce the Capital Commitment by specific performance and any right to interest under Section
10.2) are terminated and that no Funding Default has occurred.
(c)
No early termination penalty, break fee or other amount is payable by any Party by reason of the termination
of the JV Agreement.
3.       Cancellation of Sadot Units;
Withdrawal of Sadot; Managers.
(a)
Effective as of the Effective Date, all 7,814,323 Units held by Sadot are cancelled for no consideration,
Sadot ceases to be a Member of CMJV and withdraws from CMJV, and Sadot shall have no right to any distribution, allocation, information
or other right of a Member under the JV Agreement, the Articles or Chapter 86 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. Sadot shall surrender for
cancellation any certificate or book-entry statement evidencing its Units. CMJV shall update its Unit ledger and contributions register
to reflect the cancellation, and VisionWave shall thereafter be the sole member of CMJV.
(b)
Effective as of the Effective Date, each of Michael D. Murray and Haggai (Chagay) Ravid resigns as a Manager
of CMJV, and any observer appointed by Sadot under Section 7.2(e) of the JV Agreement is removed.
(c)
VisionWave may, in its sole discretion and at its sole expense, continue CMJV as a wholly owned subsidiary
of VisionWave, amend its Articles, adopt a new operating agreement or dissolve CMJV, and Sadot shall have no obligation or liability in
respect of CMJV or its affairs from and after the Effective Date. VisionWave shall cause CMJV to pay all fees, taxes and expenses of CMJV,
whether arising before or after the Effective Date, and shall indemnify Sadot against any claim in respect thereof.
4. Entry Premium Shares; VisionWave Consideration Shares.
(a) Retention of Entry Premium Shares. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the JV Agreement, including Section 15.3 thereof, or any other Transaction Document, the Parties acknowledge
and agree that VisionWave shall retain all 250,000 Entry Premium Shares previously issued by Sadot to VisionWave. The Entry Premium Shares
shall not be surrendered, returned or cancelled as a result of the termination of the JV Agreement or the transactions contemplated by
this Letter Agreement, and VisionWave shall continue to be the sole record and beneficial owner thereof, subject to applicable securities
laws.
(b) VisionWave Consideration Shares. In consideration
for VisionWave’s retention of the 250,000 Entry Premium Shares, the negotiated termination and unwinding of the transactions contemplated
by the JV Agreement, the mutual releases contained herein, and the Parties’ desire to maintain a constructive strategic relationship
following such termination as more fully detailed on
Exhibit A
onsideration Shares”). VisionWave shall cause the VisionWave
Consideration Shares to be issued to Sadot within three (3) Business Days following the Effective Date, subject to Sadot providing VisionWave
and its transfer agent with such information and documentation as may reasonably be required to effect such issuance.
(c) Securities Status. The VisionWave Consideration
Shares shall be issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act and shall constitute “restricted securities”
within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act unless registered for resale or otherwise freely transferable pursuant to applicable
law. Sadot acknowledges that the VisionWave Consideration Shares may bear an appropriate restrictive legend or book-entry notation reflecting
such status.
(d) Full and Final Consideration. The Parties acknowledge
and agree that VisionWave’s retention of the 250,000 Entry Premium Shares and issuance to Sadot of the 500,000 VisionWave Consideration
Shares constitute a negotiated exchange and settlement between Sadot and VisionWave in connection with the termination and unwinding contemplated
by this Letter Agreement. Upon issuance of the VisionWave Consideration Shares, such issuance shall constitute full and final consideration
to Sadot with respect to VisionWave’s retention of the Entry Premium Shares, and Sadot shall have no right or claim to the return,
surrender or cancellation of any Entry Premium Shares. Neither Sadot nor VisionWave shall thereafter have any further payment, issuance,
return, cancellation or other obligation to the other with respect to the Entry Premium Shares or the consideration originally contemplated
by Section 3.3 of the JV Agreement.
(e) Continuing Strategic Relationship. Sadot and VisionWave
acknowledge that the termination of the JV Agreement relates to the specific CMJV transaction and circumstances described herein and is
not intended to terminate or impair the Parties’ ability to cooperate with one another with respect to other opportunities. Sadot
and VisionWave intend to maintain a constructive strategic relationship and may from time to time identify, evaluate and pursue other
mutually beneficial commercial, technology, investment, acquisition, financing or strategic opportunities. Nothing contained in this Section
4(e) shall obligate either Sadot or VisionWave to enter into any future transaction, make any investment or provide any financing unless
and until the applicable parties execute a separate definitive written agreement with respect thereto.
(f) Regulatory Filings. Each of Sadot and VisionWave
shall be solely responsible for making any amendment or filing required of it under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the rules of
the SEC, Nasdaq or other Applicable Law in connection with the Entry Premium Shares, the VisionWave Consideration Shares or the transactions
contemplated by this Section 4. Each Party shall reasonably cooperate with the other in connection with such filings. Without limiting
the foregoing, VisionWave shall file any Listing of Additional Shares notification required by Nasdaq in respect of the VisionWave Consideration
Shares promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days, after the Effective Date, and shall keep Sadot informed of the status
of any Nasdaq review.
(g) Superseding Treatment. The treatment of the Entry
Premium Shares and the VisionWave Consideration Shares provided in this Section 4 is a specifically negotiated term of this Letter Agreement
and supersedes Sections 3.3 and 15.3 of the JV Agreement with respect to the Entry Premium Shares.
5.       CM Acknowledgment; Contribution
Agreement; CM Rights.
(a)
Effective as of the Effective Date, Sadot ceases to be a beneficiary of, and shall have no rights or obligations
under, the CM Acknowledgment, and all references to Sadot therein are deleted. CM and the Seller acknowledge and agree that (i) Sadot
is not, and has never been, a lender to CM or a party to the Loan Agreement, the Note, the Prior Notes or any other CM Loan Document,
(ii) Sadot has no obligation to fund any Advance, Matching Advance or other amount to or for the benefit of CM, (iii) neither CM nor the
Seller has any claim against Sadot arising out of or relating to the Transaction Documents, the Loan Agreement, the Share Purchase Agreement,
the Belrise MOU or the Giza Settlement Agreement, and (iv) the delivery requirements of Section 7.10 of the JV Agreement, as incorporated
in the CM Acknowledgment, shall run solely to VisionWave and CMJV. As between VisionWave, CMJV, CM and the Seller, the CM Acknowledgment
(including the increase of the Commitment under the Loan Agreement) shall remain in effect or be amended as they may agree, without any
liability to Sadot.
(b)
Sadot acknowledges that it has no right, title or interest in or to the CM Rights, the CM Loans, the CM
Loan Obligations, the CM Collateral, the Share Purchase Agreement, the Purchased Shares, the Buyer Call Option, the Belrise MOU, any Belrise
JV Agreements or any other asset of CMJV, VisionWave or VisionWave Israel, and disclaims any such interest. VisionWave, VisionWave Israel
and CMJV may, as among themselves, retain the Contribution Agreement in effect, rescind it or otherwise deal with the CM Rights as they
may determine, and Sadot shall, at VisionWave’s expense, execute such confirmations and instruments as VisionWave may reasonably
request to evidence the foregoing, including any filing with the Israeli Registrar of Companies or Registrar of Pledges.
(c)
Each of VisionWave, VisionWave Israel and CMJV, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Sadot and its Representatives from and against all Losses arising out of or relating to the CM Rights, the CM Loan Documents,
the Share Purchase Agreement, the Belrise MOU, the Giza Settlement Agreement, the insolvency proceedings affecting FBM, the Retained Obligations,
or any claim by CM, the Seller, Giza, Belrise or any other Person in respect thereof, whether arising before or after the Effective Date.
6.       Mutual Releases.
(a)
Effective as of the Effective Date, each Party, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, successors and

unconditionally releases, acquits and forever discharges each other Party and its Affiliates, successors and assigns, and its and their
respective Representatives (collectively, the “
Released Parties
”), from any and all claims, demands, actions, causes
of action, suits, debts, obligations, liabilities, damages, Losses and expenses of every kind and nature, whether known or unknown, suspected

(b)
The release in Section 6(a) does not release (i) any obligation under this Letter Agreement or the Surviving

Each Party acknowledges that it may hereafter discover facts different from or in addition to those it
now knows or believes to be true with respect to the Claims released in this Section 6, and agrees that the release in Section 6(a) shall
remain effective in all respects notwithstanding such different or additional facts. Each Party expressly waives the benefit of any statute
or common-law principle that would limit the scope of a general release to Claims known or suspected at the time of the release. Each
Party covenants not to commence or prosecute, or to assist any other Person in commencing or prosecuting, any Claim released by it in
this Section 6.
(d)
This Letter Agreement is a compromise and is not, and shall not be construed as, an admission by any Party
of any breach, default, liability or wrongdoing, each of which is expressly denied.

Exhibit A – Summary of Planned Strategic Relationship
This Exhibit A summarizes the current intentions of
Sadot Group Inc. (“Sadot”) and VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (“VisionWave”) regarding a potential continuing strategic
relationship following the termination and unwind of their prior CMJV relationship.
The Parties believe that their respective technology
platforms, commercial capabilities, market relationships and areas of expertise may provide meaningful opportunities for future cooperation,
particularly in the areas of artificial intelligence, global commodity trading, critical minerals and strategic materials, supply-chain
intelligence, commercial origination, compliance and transaction execution.
1. Sadot Technology Platform
Sadot owns and operates an integrated technology architecture
designed to support the identification, origination, execution and management of global commodity trading opportunities.
Sadot’s technology platform currently consists
principally of the following three components:
TradeIQ — an AI-powered commodity intelligence
and forecasting platform designed to analyze market, pricing, supply-and-demand and other relevant data to identify potential commercial
and trading opportunities.
SalesIQ — an AI-driven commercial origination
platform designed to identify potential buyers and sellers, develop counterparties, manage commercial opportunities and facilitate the
conversion of market intelligence into actionable transactions.
TradeOS — Sadot’s commodity trading and
CTRM infrastructure designed to support the execution and management of transactions, including trade capture, positions, risk, logistics,
finance, accounting, treasury and related operational functions.
Together, these platforms are intended to provide
an integrated workflow from market intelligence and opportunity identification, through commercial origination, to trade execution and
transaction management.
2. VisionWave Critical Minerals Platform
VisionWave has entered into a definitive agreement
to acquire the Critical Minerals Intelligence Platform (“CMIP”), a technology and market-infrastructure platform focused on
critical minerals and strategic materials.
The CMIP acquisition has not yet closed and remains
subject to satisfaction or waiver of applicable closing conditions, including VisionWave’s receipt of the required independent third-party
valuation and fairness analysis. Accordingly, all references in this Exhibit to CMIP, the VisionWave Critical Minerals Platform or potential
cooperation involving such platform are subject to completion of the acquisition.
If the acquisition is completed, VisionWave expects
CMIP to provide capabilities that may include:
·
critical-mineral pricing and benchmark intelligence;
·
market and supply-chain intelligence;
·
a network of vetted buyers, sellers and other counterparties;
·
sanctions, KYB and regulatory screening;
·
export-control and transaction compliance support;
·
provenance and chain-of-custody information;
·
transaction and regulatory data architecture; and
·
OTC transaction matching and related market infrastructure.
CMIP is initially focused on strategic materials including
tungsten and antimony, with the potential to expand over time into additional critical and defense-relevant materials.
3. Potential Strategic Integration
Subject to completion of VisionWave’s acquisition
of CMIP, the Parties intend to explore opportunities to integrate, interoperate or otherwise coordinate their respective technologies
and commercial capabilities.
The contemplated relationship may create an integrated
workflow in which:
CMIP / VisionWave Critical Minerals Platform provides
specialized critical-material pricing, provenance, compliance, counterparty and supply-chain intelligence;
TradeIQ applies Sadot’s market-intelligence
and analytical capabilities to identify market conditions, supply-and-demand imbalances, sourcing opportunities and potential transactions;
SalesIQ supports commercial origination by identifying
and engaging potential buyers, sellers and counterparties and developing identified opportunities; and
TradeOS provides infrastructure through which qualifying
transactions may be executed, managed, monitored and accounted for.
The Parties may also explore mechanisms through which
information generated from completed transactions can, subject to applicable law, contractual restrictions, confidentiality obligations
and data rights, contribute to improved market intelligence, pricing information, provenance analysis and other analytical capabilities.
The Parties believe this potential combination may
create a complementary workflow extending from critical-material intelligence and compliance, through AI-supported opportunity identification
and commercial origination, to transaction execution and management.
4. Critical Minerals and Strategic
Materials Cooperation
The Parties presently anticipate that an initial area
of cooperation may involve critical minerals and strategic materials, where VisionWave’s contemplated specialized critical-minerals
market infrastructure and Sadot’s existing commodity-trading technology and commercial capabilities may be complementary.
Potential areas of cooperation may include:
·
identification of critical-material supply and demand opportunities;
·
identification and qualification of buyers and sellers;
·
alternative-source discovery and sourcing intelligence;
·
pricing and market intelligence;
·
supply-chain and geopolitical risk analysis;
·
sanctions and counterparty screening;
·
provenance and chain-of-custody analysis;
·
commercial origination and transaction matching;
·
transaction execution and management through Sadot’s trading infrastructure; and
·
development of data and intelligence derived from transaction activity.
The Parties may initially evaluate opportunities involving
tungsten and antimony and may subsequently consider other critical or strategic materials, including gallium, germanium, rare earth elements,
graphite, titanium, cobalt, tantalum, indium, magnesium, silicon, specialty alloys and other materials relevant to industrial, technology,
aerospace and defense supply chains.
5. Commercial Opportunities
Subject to completion of the CMIP acquisition where
applicable, the Parties intend to evaluate commercial arrangements under which their respective capabilities may be offered individually
or jointly to potential customers, counterparties and strategic partners.
Potential customers and counterparties may include
commodity producers and traders, industrial manufacturers, defense contractors, aerospace companies, electronics manufacturers, specialty-material
suppliers, government procurement organizations and other participants in critical-material and global supply chains.
Potential commercial arrangements may include transaction
fees, subscriptions, data or intelligence services, technology licensing, revenue-sharing arrangements, referral arrangements, trading
margins or such other commercial structures as the Parties may separately agree.
Nothing contained in this Exhibit establishes any
particular economic allocation, revenue-sharing percentage, trading commitment or other commercial term between the Parties.
6. Technology and Data Cooperation
The Parties intend to explore potential technical
interoperability between their respective platforms, including through APIs, structured data exchange or other mutually agreed integration
methods.
Any exchange or use of proprietary data, customer
or counterparty information, transaction information, intellectual property or confidential information will be subject to mutually acceptable
definitive agreements addressing ownership, permitted use, cybersecurity, confidentiality, regulatory requirements and commercialization
rights.
Except as otherwise expressly agreed in writing, each
Party will retain ownership and control of its respective technology, intellectual property, data and proprietary systems.
7. Independent Operations
The contemplated strategic relationship is intended
to permit Sadot and VisionWave to cooperate where their respective capabilities are complementary while allowing each Party to continue
operating independently.
Neither Party will have authority to bind the other
Party, incur obligations on behalf of the other Party, or represent that it is the agent, partner or legal representative of the other
Party unless expressly authorized pursuant to a separate definitive written agreement.
Nothing in this Exhibit creates a partnership, joint
venture, fiduciary relationship, agency relationship or other similar legal relationship between Sadot and VisionWave.
8. Nature of Planned Strategic Relationship
This Exhibit describes the Parties’ current
strategic intentions and potential areas of future cooperation only.
Except to the extent expressly provided in the Letter
Agreement to which this Exhibit is attached, this Exhibit does not constitute a commitment by either Party to enter into any particular
transaction, contribute capital, provide financing, purchase or sell any minimum quantity of commodities or materials, grant exclusivity,
integrate any technology, share proprietary data, generate any particular amount of revenue, or consummate any acquisition or other transaction.
In particular, nothing contained herein constitutes
a representation or assurance that VisionWave’s acquisition of CMIP will be completed.
Any specific technology integration, commercial arrangement,
transaction, investment, revenue-sharing arrangement or other cooperative activity will be subject to separate definitive documentation,
applicable corporate approvals, regulatory requirements and such other conditions as the Parties may agree.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge
their present intention to maintain an ongoing strategic dialogue and to evaluate in good faith opportunities where Sadot’s AI-driven
commodity intelligence, commercial origination and trading infrastructure may complement VisionWave’s contemplated critical-minerals
intelligence, compliance, provenance and market-infrastructure capabilities, with the objective of identifying mutually beneficial commercial
opportunities in global commodity and critical-material markets.
