Termination
Agreement Relating to Purchase of Shares of Hapi Metaverse Inc.
On
February 5, 2026, Alset Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a term sheet (the “Term Sheet”), with HWH International
Inc., a Nevada company (“HWH”). The Company, directly and through subsidiaries, owns a majority of HWH’s common
stock. Pursuant to the Term Sheet, the Company agreed sell to HWH 505,341,376 issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value
$0.0001 (the “Shares”), of Hapi Metaverse Inc. (“Hapi Metaverse”), a Delaware corporation, representing 99.55%
of Hapi Metaverse’s outstanding capital.
Pursuant
to the Term Sheet, the Company agreed to sell the
Shares through a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) for a sale price of $19,910,603.00 in the form
of a promissory note convertible into newly issued shares of HWH’s common stock (the “Convertible Note”). The Convertible
Note bore a simple interest rate of 1% per annum. Under the terms of the Convertible Note, the Company could convert any outstanding
principal and interest into shares of HWH’s common stock at $1.85 per share upon ten (10) days’ notice prior to maturity
of the Convertible Note five (5) years from the date of the Term Sheet, and upon maturity of the Convertible Note any outstanding principal
and accrued interest accrued thereunder would automatically be converted into shares of HWH”s common stock at the conversion rate.
On February 5, 2026, the Company entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement with HWH.
The
Company and its subsidiary HWH have now agreed to terminate the purchase and sale of the Hapi Metaverse Shares, and the
agreements contemplating the same, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a Termination Agreement dated May 6, 2026.
The management of the Company and HWH have determined that terminating the sale and purchase of the Hapi Metaverse Shares is in
the best interests of both parties.
Under
the terms of the Termination Agreement, neither HWH nor the Company has any further rights or obligations pursuant to the Term Sheet,
the Stock Purchase Agreement, or the Convertible Note. Neither the Company nor HWH paid any penalties or fees in connection with the
termination.
The
foregoing is a summary only and does not purport to be complete. It is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Termination Agreement,
a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
