Quantum X Inc. Announces Binding Letter of Intent to Acquire 80% of Institutional Market Data Provider TraderMade Systems Ltd.

Published

on

Strategic acquisition designed to integrate proprietary, historical financial data feeds into Quantum X’s emerging artificial intelligence and quantitative technology ecosystems.

LOCUST VALLEY, N.Y., Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Quantum X Inc. (OTC: QUTX) (“Quantum X” or the “Company”), a publicly traded company advancing multi-vertical opportunities in quantum technology and artificial intelligence applications, today announced the execution of a binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) to acquire an 80% interest in United Kingdom-based TraderMade Systems Ltd. (“TraderMade”).

TraderMade is an established financial market data company providing real-time and historical foreign exchange data, APIs, and technology solutions to financial institutions, fintech companies, and quantitative research teams. TraderMade brings more than three decades of market-data experience, including the aggregation and delivery of historical financial datasets. Since high-quality, institutional-grade datasets are the foundational requirement for training and executing advanced AI and quantitative computing models, Quantum X views this proposed acquisition as a critical infrastructure investment to support its ongoing strategic transition.

Transaction Highlights and Strategic Structure

Under the terms of the LOI, Quantum X will acquire an 80% ownership interest in TraderMade from Currency Mountain Holdings, LLC (“CMH”). The transaction is structured to immediately position Quantum X as both majority shareholder and primary creditor:

Equity and Debt Acquisition: Quantum X will acquire 80% of TraderMade’s issued share capital, alongside all of CMH’s rights to a GBP £412,162.47 receivable (approximately US$544,000), plus accrued interest, owed by TraderMade.Fixed Consideration: The proposed purchase price is US$550,000, payable entirely through the issuance of 550,000,000 Quantum X common shares at a fixed price of US$0.001 per share.Market Stability: The consideration shares will be fully paid and subject to a six-month lock-up period following closing. The share count is fixed and will not be adjusted for market price fluctuations prior to closing.Independent Valuation and Audits: To support the transaction’s value, completion requires an independent valuation confirming that the combined value of the acquired shares and the receivable is at least US$550,000. Following closing, Quantum X intends to commission PCAOB-audited financial statements for TraderMade covering at least its two most recent fiscal years, expected to be delivered within 71 days of closing.

Next Steps and Conditions to Closing

The parties intend to negotiate in good faith toward a definitive share purchase and assignment agreement. Given the cross-border nature of the proposed transaction and TraderMade’s United Kingdom operations, the parties currently anticipate allowing up to 90 days for financial, legal, tax, technical and commercial due diligence, including review of applicable ownership-transfer, regulatory and third-party requirements, before closing.

Completion of the proposed transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions. These include Quantum X’s satisfactory completion of financial, legal, tax, technical, and commercial due diligence; receipt of the independent valuation; the retention of specified key TraderMade personnel; receipt of all necessary regulatory, third-party, and shareholder consents; confirmation of clean title to the shares and receivable; and no material adverse changes occurring in TraderMade prior to closing. There can be no assurance that all conditions will be satisfied or that the transaction will be completed on the terms contemplated.

Related-Party Disclosure

CMH is owned by Emil Assentato. The proposed transaction therefore involves an affiliated party relationship that will be reviewed and disclosed in accordance with applicable securities laws and reporting requirements. The LOI expressly makes completion of the proposed transaction subject to board approval, among other closing conditions.
