DOVER, DE, Dec. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AlphaTON Capital Corp (NASDAQ: ATON) ("AlphaTON" or the "Company"), a publicly traded technology company, issues a clarification on its previously announced investment program related to Anduril Industries.

Clarification and Correction

The Company's press release on December 16, 2025 regarding an investment in Anduril Industries shares requires clarification. AlphaTON has signed a contract to obtain economic exposure to Anduril Industries’ common stock through a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) structure, rather than a direct equity investment in Anduril Industries. It was the company’s intention, clearly outlined in the signed contract, to hold this on its balance sheet. As stated publicly in yesterday’s press release, the intention was also to create a derivative tokenized product to launch alongside other similar technology industry secondary products to provide access to the growing demand for exposure to innovative technology companies that are hard to directly invest in.

Anduril Program Cancellation

It has now come to the Company's attention that the Anduril Industries common stock underlying the economic exposure that was contractually offered to our Company is subject to transfer restrictions and that Anduril will not consent to any such transfer. Due to these material limitations and risk on ownership and transferability, AlphaTON has made the decision to cancel the Anduril tokenized investment program and will not be proceeding with the transaction.

The Company remains committed to strategic investments and the tokenization of desirable assets that provide clear ownership rights and align with shareholder value creation objectives.
