Entry into Material Definitive Agreement
As previously disclosed, on May 28,
2025, TROOPS, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase
Agreement”) with Wang & Lee Holdings, Inc. (the “Shareholder”), pursuant to which the Company issued
and sold to the Shareholder 14,050,000 ordinary shares of the Company (the “Shares”), for an aggregate price of
US$12,645,000 (the Consideration”). The Company and the Shareholder also entered into a lock-up agreement (the “Lock-Up
Agreement”) in relation to the Agreement, pursuant to which the Shareholder agrees that during a ten year lock-up period from
the closing date of the Agreement (the “Lock-Up Period”), without the prior written consent of the Company, the
Shareholder would not (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option
or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or
indirectly, any Shares, now owned by the Shareholder or any affiliate of the Shareholder or with respect to which the Shareholder or
any affiliate of the Shareholder has acquired the power of disposition; (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that
transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Shares, whether any such transaction is
to be settled by delivery of Shares, in cash or otherwise; or (c) publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale,
pledge or disposition, or to enter into any transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement relating to any Shares. Pursuant to the
Lock-Up Agreement, the Company shall also have an irrevocable exclusive option to repurchase the Shares (the “Repurchase
Option”) prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period.
On July 18, 2025, the Shareholder agreed to
the Company’s notice to exercise its Repurchase Option, and on July 22, 2025, the Company entered into a
stock repurchase agreement (the “Stock Repurchase Agreement”) with the Shareholder, pursuant to which the Shareholder
agreed to sell, and the Company agreed to repurchase 4,400,000 Shares at a purchase price of US$0.90 per share, for a total purchase
price of US$3,960,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The closing of the Stock Repurchase Agreement occurred on July 24,
2025.
The form of the Agreement is filed as Exhibit 99.1
to this Form 6-K and incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing is only a brief description of the material terms of the Agreement,
and does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder and is qualified in its entirety
