The CUSIP number will remain unchanged.Strategic RepositioningThe rebrand reflects the Company's intention to align its long-term strategy with the emerging shift in financial activity driven by advances in digital infrastructure, digital assets, and artificial intelligence.It also establishes a clear framework for how the Company's existing fintech infrastructure and next-stage initiatives align.ALT5 Pay, ALT5 Prime, and Stradacarte will remain the foundation of the business, continuing to serve as the Company's primary commercial engine across payment processing, trading, settlement, and card-based financial services.These platforms provide an established software and infrastructure foundation that may, over time, support the development of more automated and software-driven financial use cases.Strategic DirectionAiFi reflects the Company's strategic initiative to expand beyond its current digital asset infrastructure business toward a broader financial platform that will be designed to support increasingly programmable and automated financial activity.As part of its ongoing strategic planning process, the Company is evaluating opportunities that include:Expanding API-based infrastructure to support programmatic transaction capabilitiesEnhancing platform efficiency and automation within existing financial workflowsExtending payment rails into tokenized digital assetsInvesting in infrastructure to support greater scale, throughput, and automationLeveraging blockchain-based account and custody systems to support integrated financial operationsThe Company intends to build on ALT5's existing payment processing capabilities while supporting continued growth in transaction volume and platform utilization, as it evaluates these adjacent opportunities for strategic fit.Operating Foundation and ScaleThe rebrand builds on a proven and scaled operating platform anchored by the Company's core fintech infrastructure.In fiscal 2025, ALT5 generated approximately $24.8 million in fintech revenue and processed approximately $3.5 billion in transaction volume, bringing cumulative processed volume since inception to more than $8.0 billion. These results reflect established capabilities across payment processing, trading, settlement, and related financial services.This operating foundation provides a basis for continued growth within the Company's existing business lines, including infrastructure that may, over time, support the integration of financial capabilities with emerging technologies, deepening customer adoption, and enhancing platform efficiency. As part of its longer-term strategic planning, the Company is evaluating how emerging technologies, including AI, may support incremental improvements in areas such as automation, data analysis, and operational scalability. These evaluations are exploratory in nature, and the Company does not currently offer AI-enabled financial infrastructure or related services.Any future initiatives in this area would be subject to future development, capital availability, technical feasibility, and applicable regulatory considerations. There can be no assurance as to the timing, scope, or successful implementation of any such initiatives.Management CommentaryTony Isaac, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated:"Our focus has been on building ALT5 around a strong operating foundation, scalable infrastructure, and a platform capable of supporting the next generation of financial activity. AiFi represents the next step in that evolution, positioning the Company to evaluate opportunities at the intersection of payments, blockchain, and emerging technology-driven financial infrastructure."He continued:"Financial systems are becoming increasingly digital and programmable, with greater levels of automation across payment, trading, and settlement. Our strategy is to build infrastructure that supports this shift securely, compliantly, and at scale, while continuing to expand our core payment processing platform into these new areas of growth."Additional information regarding the rebrand, including updated corporate and investor materials, will be made available at www.AIFI.co.About ALT5 Sigma CorporationALT5 Sigma Corporation (NASDAQ:ALTS)(FRA:5AR1) is a fintech company providing global payments, trading, and settlement infrastructure for digital assets, including card-based programs supporting crypto-to-fiat and fiat-to-crypto transactions.
