TEMPE, AZ / ACCESS Newswire / September 11, 2026 / Bonk, Inc. (Nasdaq:BNKK) ("Bonk" or the "Company"), a digital asset infrastructure and consumer brand holding company, today announced that on September 4, 2026, it entered into a definitive Preferred Stock Redemption Agreement with Core4 Capital Holdings Corp ("Core4"), an Ohio corporation. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company has agreed to purchase and retire 26,667 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock ("Preferred Shares") from Core4 for an aggregate purchase price of $4.0 million ($4,000,000.00).
This strategic transaction marks a major milestone in Bonk, Inc.'s ongoing commitment to capital structure optimization, balance sheet de-risking, and the proactive protection of common shareholder equity value.
"This redemption agreement represents a decisive win for Bonk, Inc. and a huge milestone for our common shareholders," stated Jarrett Boon, CEO of Bonk, Inc. "By investing $4 million to retire over a quarter of our Series A Preferred Stock and permanently eliminating restrictive anti-dilution provisions, we have taken direct action to defend shareholder value, clean up our capital structure, and establish a clear, frictionless runway for future corporate growth."
Improving the Capital Structure: Why This Decision Drives Shareholder Value
1. Permanent Removal of Anti-Dilution Overhang
As a material part of the consideration for the transaction, Core4 has irrevocably and unconditionally waived, relinquished, and stood down from any and all anti-dilution rights, protections, and adjustments with respect to its Preferred Shares. This includes all price-based, full-ratchet, weighted-average, broad-based, and narrow-based anti-dilution provisions.
- Shareholder Impact: The elimination of anti-dilution provisions removes a major legacy structural overhang. Existing common shareholders are now fully protected against potential ratchet-driven dilution in future corporate actions or capital market cycles.
2. Immediate Reduction of Preferred Senior Preference
By redeeming 26,667 shares, Bonk, Inc. permanently reduces Core4's preferred stock holdings from 100,000 shares to 73,333 shares-a 26.67% direct reduction in total Series A Preferred Stock.
- Shareholder Impact: All redeemed shares are officially retired and restored to unissued status, shrinking senior liquidation preferences, voting preferences, and potential future share issuance overhang under the May 2, 2025 Certificate of Designation.
3. Clear Path for Strategic Growth and M&A Alignment
The agreement formally clarifies that following the consummation of the transaction, Core4 will hold 73,333 Preferred Shares, which, in the event of a merger, convert into 1,516,873 shares of Common Stock of the Company. Furthermore, Core4 has surrendered all voting, liquidation, conversion, and notice rights associated with the redeemed block.
- Shareholder Impact: We believe this streamlines Bonk's capital structure thereby potentially improving Bonk'sappeal to institutional investors and expanding the Company's strategic flexibility for accretive mergers and acquisitions.
4. Complete Clean Slate and Legal Release
In connection with the transaction, Core4 has agreed to a comprehensive general release of all past, present, and potential legacy claims against Bonk, Inc. arising from Core4's investment in the Company, delivering total operational stability and legal alignment.
"Removing price-based anti-dilution mechanisms provides total clarity and alignment across our entire equity base," added Mitchell Rudy ("Nom"), Core Contributor to BONK. "This move demonstrates disciplined corporate leadership-using capital strategically to eliminate financial overhangs while positioning the company to execute on major strategic initiatives without structural headwinds."
