Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

As GigCapital7 Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“GigCapital7”), previously disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 29, 2025, GigCapital7 entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), dated as of September 27, 2025, as amended, by and among GigCapital7, MMR Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of GigCapital7 (“Merger Sub”), and Hadron Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Target”), pursuant to which, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, GigCapital7 will redomicile from the Cayman Islands to Delaware, and Target will merge with and into Merger Sub (the “Business Combination”), with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving company. Following the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), GigCapital7 will be renamed “Hadron Energy, Inc.” (“Hadron”)

Non-Redemption Agreement

As GigCapital7 previously disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 1, 2026, GigCapital7 entered into separate agreements (each a “Non-Redemption Agreement”, and together, the “Non-Redemption Agreements”) with certain of the stockholders of GigCapital7 (each, individually, a “Public Stockholder”, and together, the “Public Stockholders”) eligible to redeem their respective Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of GigCapital7 (“Class A Ordinary Shares”) at the upcoming extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of GigCapital7 scheduled for May 7, 2026 (the “Extraordinary Meeting”) to approve the Business Combination, for such Public Stockholders to not redeem 1,800,000 Class A Ordinary Shares. On May 6, 2026, GigCapital7 entered into additional Non-Redemption Agreements with additional Public Stockholders for such additional Public Stockholders to not redeem an additional 200,000 Class A Ordinary Shares. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Non-Redemption Agreements. Any reference herein to the “Non-Redemption Agreement” is to be treated as a reference to each Public Stockholder’s separate agreement and should be construed accordingly and any action taken by a Public Stockholder should be construed as an action under its own respective agreement.

Pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreements, the Public Stockholders that have entered into the Non-Redemption Agreements have agreed not to exercise redemption rights with respect to their respective Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the Business Combination, and to waive all redemption rights with respect to the aggregate number of 200,000 Class A Ordinary Shares (the “Non-Redemption Shares”), provided that no Public Stockholder is required to hold a number of Class A Ordinary Shares representing in excess of 9.99% of the total number of Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding. The Non-Redemption Shares held by the Public Stockholders will not be subject to any other transfer restrictions than those described in the Non-Redemption Agreements. The Public Stockholders will have no obligation to hold the Non-Redemption Shares beyond the Redemption Deadline, after which such shares will be freely tradeable without restrictive legends.

In the event that GigCapital7 enters one or more other non-redemption agreements in connection with the Business Combination (“Other Agreements”), GigCapital7 has agreed that the terms of such Other Agreements will not be materially more favorable to such other investors than the terms of the Non-Redemption Agreements are in respect of the Public Stockholders. In the event that another third party is afforded any such more favorable terms than the Public Stockholders, GigCapital7 has agreed to promptly inform the Public Stockholders of such more favorable terms in writing, and the Public Stockholders will then have the right to elect to have such more favorable terms included in each Public Stockholder’s respective Non-Redemption Agreement.

This Current Report provides a summary of the form of the Non-Redemption Agreement, the description of which does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of such agreement. A copy of the form of Non-Redemption Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 1, 2026, and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Forward Purchase Agreement

In connection with the Business Combination, on May 6, 2026, GigCapital7 and Target entered into a forward stock purchase agreement (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors (together, the “Seller”) for an OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transaction. For purposes of the Forward Purchase Agreement, “Counterparty” refers to GigCapital7 prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, and Hadron after the consummation of the Business Combination. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Forward Purchase Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, the Number of Shares subject to the Forward Purchase Agreement will be specified in one or more Pricing Date Notices, but in no event more than a maximum of 546,219 Class A Ordinary Shares (the “Maximum Number of Shares”), which are Shares owned and held by Seller on the day prior to the Closing Date (and which are not subject to redemption in connection with the closing of the Business Combination). The Number of Shares is subject to reduction following an early termination of the Forward Purchase Agreement with respect to such shares as described under “Early Termination” in the Forward Purchase Agreement.

Prior to the earlier of the Maturity Date or such date as which Seller no longer holds any Remaining Shares, Seller may not sell or otherwise transfer, loan, hedge or dispose of any of the Shares or any other shares or securities of the Counterparty, except that Seller may make sales or dispositions of the Shares at a price that is at least $12.00 per Share.

The Forward Purchase Agreement provides that Seller will be paid an aggregate cash amount (the “Prepayment Amount”) equal to the product of (i) the Number of Shares as set forth in each Pricing Date Notice and (ii) the Initial Price, which equals the redemption price per share as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation of GigCapital7 upon the occurrence of its redomiciliation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware (the “Redemption Price”).

The Counterparty will pay to the Seller the Prepayment Amount from the Counterparty’s Trust Account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company holding the net proceeds of the sale of the units in the Counterparty’s initial public offering and the sale of shares of private placement Class B ordinary shares and private placement warrants (the “Trust Account”), no later than the earlier of (a) one business day after the Closing Date and (b) the date any assets from the Trust Account are disbursed in connection with the Business Combination (such date, the “Prepayment Date”).

The Forward Purchase Agreement provides for physical settlement. On the Maturity Date, which is the date that is six months following the Closing Date, in exchange for the return to the Counterparty of the Remaining Shares (the Number of Shares less any Terminated Shares (as defined below)), the Counterparty shall pay the Seller an amount equal to the product of (x) the number of Remaining Shares and (y) the Initial Price (the “Settlement Amount”), which Settlement Amount shall be fully offset by the Prepayment Amount previously paid in respect of such Remaining Shares.

From time to time and on any date following the Closing Date (any such date, an “ET Date”), upon the sale of any Shares, which as stated above, such sales may only occur at a price that is at least $12.00 per share (the number of such Shares, the “Terminated Shares”), the Counterparty shall be entitled to an amount from the Seller equal to the product of (x) the number of newly Terminated Shares since the last ET Date (or the Closing Date if no prior ET Date) and (y) the Termination Price, which equals the Initial Price, in respect of such ET Date (an “Early Termination Obligation”). The Seller shall pay the Early Termination Obligation to the accounts and in the amounts as directed by the Counterparty. The remainder of the Transaction, if any, shall continue in accordance with its terms.

Seller has agreed to waive any redemption rights under GigCapital7’s Certificate of Incorporation with respect to the Shares in connection with the Business Combination during the term of the Forward Purchase Agreement. Such waiver may reduce the number of Class A Ordinary Shares redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, and such reduction could alter the perception of the potential strength of the Business Combination.

 

The Forward Purchase Agreement has been structured, and all activity in connection with such agreement has been undertaken, to comply with the requirements of all tender offer regulations applicable to the Business Combination, including Rule 14e-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The foregoing summary of the Forward Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of a copy form of Forward Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01 Other Events

Supplement to the Proxy Statement

On April 15, 2026, GigCapital7 filed its proxy statement/prospectus (the “Proxy Statement”) for the solicitation of proxies in connection with the Extraordinary Meeting to consider and vote on the Business Combination and other matters as described in the registration statement and a prospectus relating to the offer of the securities to be issued to the stockholders of the Target in connection with the Business Combination.

GigCapital7 has decided to supplement the Proxy Statement (the “Proxy Supplement”) to provide updated information about the Non-Redemption Agreements and the Forward Purchase Agreement. There is no change to the date, location, the record date, redemption deadline or any of the other proposals to be acted upon at the Extraordinary Meeting.

Shareholders who have previously submitted their proxies or otherwise voted and who do not want to change their vote need not take any action. Shareholders as of the April 15, 2026, record date can vote, even if they have subsequently sold their shares. Shareholders who wish to withdraw their previously submitted redemption requests may do so prior to the Extraordinary Meeting by requesting that the transfer agent return such shares prior to the Extraordinary Meeting.

A copy of the Proxy Supplement is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

From:		[__________________________] (“Seller”)
Re:		OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transaction

The purpose of this agreement (this “Confirmation”) is to confirm the terms and conditions of the transaction (the “Transaction”) entered into between Seller, GIG and Target on the Trade Date specified below. The term “Counterparty” refers to GIG until the closing of the Business Combination (as defined below), then to Hadron following the closing of the Business Combination. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of September 27, 2025 (as amended on December 12, 2025 and April 16, 2026, and as may be further amended, modified, supplemented or waived from time to time, the “BCA”), by and among GIG, MMR Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of GIG (“Merger Sub”) and Target (i) GIG will domesticate from the Cayman Islands to Delaware, (the “Domestication”), and (ii) following the Domestication and as a part of the same overall transaction, Target will merger with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub as the surviving entity of such merger (the “Merger” and together with the Domestication and the other transactions contemplated by the BCA, the “Business Combination”). Upon the Closing of the Merger, GIG will be renamed “Hadron Energy, Inc.” (“Hadron”).

Certain terms of the Transaction shall be as set forth in this Confirmation, with additional terms as set forth in one or more pricing date notice(s) (each, a “Pricing Date Notice”) in the form of Schedule A hereto. This Confirmation, together with the Pricing Date Notice(s), constitutes a “Confirmation” and the Transaction constitutes a separate “Transaction” as referred to in the ISDA Form (as defined below).

This Confirmation, together with the Pricing Date Notice(s), evidences a complete binding agreement between Seller, GIG and Target as to the subject matter and terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates and shall supersede all prior or contemporaneous written or oral communications with respect thereto.

The 2006 ISDA Definitions (the “Swap Definitions”) and the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions”, and with the Swap Definitions, the “Definitions”), each as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., are incorporated into this Confirmation. If there is any inconsistency between the Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation governs. If, in relation to the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates, there is any inconsistency between the ISDA Form, this Confirmation (including the Pricing Date Notice(s)), the Swap Definitions and the Equity Definitions, the following will prevail for purposes of such Transaction in the order of precedence indicated: (i) this Confirmation (including the Pricing Date Notice(s)); (ii) the Equity Definitions; (iii) the Swap Definitions, and (iv) the ISDA Form.

This Confirmation, together with the Pricing Date Notice(s), shall supplement, form a part of, and be subject to an agreement in the form of the ISDA 2002 Master Agreement (the “ISDA Form”) as if Seller, Target and Counterparty had executed an agreement in such form (but without any Schedule except as set forth herein under “Schedule Provisions”) on the Trade Date of the Transaction.

		In the event that a party (the “Disputing Party”) does not agree with any determination made (or the failure to make any determination) by the Calculation Agent or the Determining Party, the Disputing Party shall have the right to require that the Calculation Agent or the Determining Party, as applicable, have such determination reviewed by a disinterested third party that is a dealer in derivatives of the type that is the subject of the dispute and that is not an Affiliate of either party (a “Third Party Dealer”).

The costs of such Substitute Calculation Agent or Substitute Determining Party, as applicable, shall be borne by (a) the Disputing Party if the Substitute Calculation Agent or Substitute Determining Party, as applicable, substantially agrees with the Calculation Agent or Determining Party, or (b) the non-Disputing Party if the Substitute Calculation Agent or Substitute Determining Party, as applicable, does not substantially agree with the Calculation Agent or Determining Party, as applicable. If, after following the procedures and within the specified time frames set forth above, a binding determination is not achieved, the original determination of the Calculation Agent or Determining Party, as applicable, shall apply.   Following any adjustment, determination or calculation by the Calculation Agent hereunder, upon a written request by Counterparty (which may be by email), the Calculation Agent will promptly (but in any event within five Exchange Business Days) provide to Counterparty by email to the email address provided by Counterparty in such written request a report (in a commonly used file format for the storage and manipulation of financial data) displaying in reasonable detail the basis for such adjustment, determination or calculation (including any quotations, market data or information from internal or external sources, and any assumptions used in making such

Other Provisions.

 

(a)	Rule 10b-5.

 

(i)

Counterparty represents and warrants to Seller that Counterparty is not entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) for the purpose of inducing the purchase or sale of such securities or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act, and Counterparty represents and warrants to Seller that Counterparty has not entered into or altered, and agrees that Counterparty will not enter into or alter, any corresponding or hedging transaction or position with respect to the Shares.

 

(ii)

Counterparty agrees that it will not seek to control or influence Seller’s decision to make any “purchases or sales” under the Transaction, except that prior to the earlier of the Maturity Date and or such date as which Seller no longer holds any Remaining Shares, Seller may not enter into any hedging transactions. Counterparty represents and warrants that it has consulted with its own advisors as to the legal aspects of its adoption and implementation of this Confirmation and the Transaction under the federal securities laws, including without limitation, the prohibitions on manipulative and deceptive devices under the Exchange Act.

 

(iii)

Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that any amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Confirmation must be effected in accordance with the requirements for the amendment or termination of a written trading plan for trading securities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that any such amendment, modification, waiver or termination shall be made in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade compliance with the federal securities laws, including without limitation the prohibition on manipulative and deceptive devises under the Exchange Act and no such amendment, modification or waiver shall be made at any time at which Counterparty or any officer, director, manager or similar person of Counterparty is aware of any material non-public information regarding Counterparty or the Shares.

 

(b)

Repurchase Notices. Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares (other than in connection with a Counterparty equity compensation program (e.g., to fund taxes in connection with vested RSUs)), promptly give Seller a written notice of such repurchase (a “Repurchase Notice”), if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares as determined on such day is (i) less than the number of Shares outstanding that would result in the percentage of total Shares outstanding represented by the number of Shares underlying the Transaction increasing by 0.10% (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than the number of Shares that would need to be repurchased to result in the percentage of total Shares outstanding represented by the number of Shares underlying the Transaction increasing by a further 0.10% less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice; provided that Counterparty

 

11

agrees that this information does not constitute material non-public information; provided further if this information shall be material non-public information, it shall publicly disclosed immediately. Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Person” and, collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented attorney’s fees), joint or several, which an Indemnified Person may become subject to, as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide Seller with a Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this paragraph, and to reimburse, within thirty days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable and documented legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for, providing testimony or other evidence in connection with or defending any of the foregoing; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, Counterparty has no indemnification or other obligations with respect to Seller becoming a Section 16 “insider” prior to the closing of the Business Combination. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against the Indemnified Person as a result of Counterparty’s failure to provide Seller with a Repurchase Notice in accordance with this paragraph, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Counterparty in writing, and Counterparty, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others Counterparty may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. Counterparty shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, Counterparty agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Counterparty shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding contemplated by this paragraph that is in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. If the indemnification provided for in this paragraph is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then Counterparty hereunder, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. The remedies provided for in this paragraph are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this paragraph shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of the Transaction.

 

(c)

Transfer or Assignment. The rights and duties under this Confirmation may not be transferred or assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, subject to the immediately following sentence. If at any time following the closing of the Business Combination at which (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 9.9%, or (B) the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share Limit, if any applies (any such condition described in clause (A) or (B), an “Excess Ownership Position”), Seller is unable to effect a transfer or assignment of a portion of the Transaction to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Seller and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Seller such that no Excess Ownership Position exists, then Seller may designate any Local Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction (the “Terminated Portion”), such that following such partial termination no Excess Ownership Position exists. In the event that Seller so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a portion of the Shares with respect to the Transaction shall be delivered to Counterparty as if the Early Termination Date was the Maturity Date in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Shares equal to the number of Shares underlying the Terminated Portion. The “Section 16 Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, as determined by Seller, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Seller and each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Seller under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder and all persons who may form a “group” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Exchange Act) with Seller directly or indirectly beneficially own (as defined under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding.

 

12

The “Share Amount” as of any day is the number of Shares that Seller and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Seller and any group (however designated) of which Seller is a member (Seller or any such person or group, a “Seller Person”) under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Counterparty that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (“Applicable Restrictions”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Seller in its sole discretion.

The “Applicable Share Limit” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that could give rise to reporting (other than on Schedule 13D or 13G) or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Seller Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Seller Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Seller in its sole discretion, minus (B) 0.1% of the number of Shares outstanding.

 

(d)

Indemnification. Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all losses (but not including financial losses to an Indemnified Person relating to the economic terms of the Transaction provided that the Counterparty performs its obligations under this Confirmation in accordance with its terms), claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of one outside legal counsel), joint or several, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Person arising out of, in connection with, or relating to, and to reimburse, within thirty days, upon written request, each of such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever between any of the Indemnified Persons and any third party, or otherwise, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other statute or at common law or otherwise or under the laws of foreign countries, arising out of or based upon the Transaction, including the execution or delivery of this Confirmation, the performance by Counterparty of its obligations under the Transaction, regulatory filings and submissions made by or on behalf of the Counterparty related to the Transaction (other than as relates to any information provided in writing by or on behalf of Seller or its affiliates), or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement, press release, filings or other document, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

SUPPLEMENT TO PROXY STATEMENT

OF

GigCapital7, Corp.

Dated May 7, 2026

The following disclosures in this proxy supplement (the “Supplement”) supplement, and should be read in conjunction with, the disclosures contained in the joint definitive proxy statement/final prospectus (the “Proxy Statement”), filed on April 15, 2026, and the supplement to the Proxy Statement dated April 20, 2026 (the “Prior Supplement”), each of which in turn should be read in its entirety. To the extent the information set forth herein differs from or updates information contained in the Proxy Statement or Prior Supplement, the information set forth herein shall supersede or supplement the information in the Proxy Statement or Prior Supplement, as applicable. All other information in the Proxy Statement and the Prior Supplement remains unchanged.

As provided in the Proxy Statement, GigCapital7 Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“GigCapital7”) is soliciting stockholder approval of, among other things, its proposed business combination (the “Business Combination”) with Hadron Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and the other matters as described in the Proxy Statement, which includes a prospectus relating to the offer of the securities to be issued to the stockholders of the Company in connection with the Business Combination. The purpose of the following supplemental disclosures is to provide additional information about the Non-Redemption Agreements and Forward Purchase Agreement (as defined below). Terms used herein, unless otherwise defined, have the meanings set forth in the Proxy Statement or the Prior Supplement.

DESCRIPTION OF NON-REDEMPTION AGREEMENTS

On May 1, 2026 and May 6, 2026, GigCapital7 entered into separate agreements (each, a “Non-Redemption Agreement”, and together, the “Non-Redemption Agreements”) with certain of the public stockholders of GigCapital7 (each, individually, a “Public Stockholder”, and together, the “Public Stockholders”) eligible to redeem their respective Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of GigCapital7 (“Ordinary Shares”) at the upcoming extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of GigCapital7 scheduled for May 7, 2026 (the “May 2026 Meeting”) to approve the business combination (the “Business Combination”) contemplated by that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of September 27, 2025, as amended by the First Amendment to Business Combination Agreement, dated as of December 12, 2025, and as further amended by the Second Amendment to Business Combination Agreement, dated as of April 16, 2026 (as may further be amended from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among GigCapital7, the Company, and MMR Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of GigCapital7 (“Merger Sub”). Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Non-Redemption Agreements. Any reference herein to the “Non-Redemption Agreement” is to be treated as a reference to each Public Stockholder’s separate agreement and should be construed accordingly and any action taken by a Public Stockholder should be construed as an action under its own respective agreement.

Pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreements, the Public Stockholders that have entered into the Non-Redemption Agreements have agreed not to exercise redemption rights with respect to their respective Ordinary Shares in connection with the Business Combination, and to waive all redemption rights with respect to the aggregate number of 2,000,000 Ordinary Shares (the “Non-Redemption Shares”), provided that no Public Stockholder is required to hold a number of Ordinary Shares representing in excess of 9.99% of the total number of Ordinary Shares outstanding. The Non-Redemption Shares held by the Public Stockholders will not be subject to any other transfer restrictions than those described in the Non-Redemption Agreements. The Public Stockholders will have no obligation to hold the Non-Redemption Shares beyond the Redemption Deadline, after which such shares will be freely tradeable without restrictive legends.

In the event that GigCapital7 enters one or more other non-redemption agreements in connection with the Business Combination (“Other Agreements”), GigCapital7 has agreed that the terms of such Other Agreements will not be materially more favorable to such other investors than the terms of the Non-Redemption Agreements are in respect of the Public Stockholders. In the event that another third party is afforded any such more favorable terms than the Public Stockholders, GigCapital7 has agreed to promptly inform the Public Stockholders of such more favorable terms in writing, and the Public Stockholders will then have the right to elect to have such more favorable terms included in each Public Stockholder’s respective Non-Redemption Agreement.

A copy of the form of Non-Redemption Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC by GigCapital7 on May 1, 2026, and the foregoing description of the Non-Redemption Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.

DESCRIPTION OF FORWARD PURCHASE AGREEMENTS

In connection with the Business Combination, on May 6, 2026, GigCapital7 and the Company entered into a forward stock purchase agreement (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors (together, the “Seller”) for an OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transaction. For purposes of the Forward Purchase Agreement, “Counterparty” refers to GigCapital7 prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, and GigCapital7, in its domesticated to Delaware and post-combination form (“Hadron”) after the consummation of the Business Combination. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Forward Purchase Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, the Number of Shares subject to the Forward Purchase Agreement will be specified in one or more Pricing Date Notices, but in no event more than a maximum of 546,219 Ordinary Shares (the “Maximum Number of Shares”), which are Shares owned and held by Seller on the day prior to the Closing Date (and which are not subject to redemption in connection with the closing of the Business Combination). The Number of Shares is subject to reduction following an early termination of the Forward Purchase Agreement with respect to such shares as described under “Early Termination” in the Forward Purchase Agreement.

Prior to the earlier of the Maturity Date or such date as which Seller no longer holds any Remaining Shares, Seller may not sell or otherwise transfer, loan, hedge or dispose of any of the Shares or any other shares or securities of the Counterparty, except that Seller may make sales or dispositions of the Shares at a price that is at least $12.00 per Share.

The Forward Purchase Agreement provides that Seller will be paid an aggregate cash amount (the “Prepayment Amount”) equal to the product of (i) the Number of Shares as set forth in each Pricing Date Notice and (ii) the Initial Price, which equals the redemption price per share as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation of GigCapital7 upon the occurrence of its domestication from the Cayman Islands to Delaware (the “Redemption Price”).

The Counterparty will pay to the Seller the Prepayment Amount from the Counterparty’s Trust Account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company holding the net proceeds of the sale of the units in the Counterparty’s initial public offering and the sale of shares of private placement Class B ordinary shares and private placement warrants (the “Trust Account”), no later than the earlier of (a) one business day after the Closing Date and (b) the date any assets from the Trust Account are disbursed in connection with the Business Combination (such date, the “Prepayment Date”).

The Forward Purchase Agreement provides for physical settlement. On the Maturity Date, which is the date that is six months following the Closing Date, in exchange for the return to the Counterparty of the Remaining Shares (the Number of Shares less any Terminated Shares (as defined below)), the Counterparty shall pay the Seller an amount equal to the product of (x) the number of Remaining Shares and (y) the Initial Price (the “Settlement Amount”), which Settlement Amount shall be fully offset by the Prepayment Amount previously paid in respect of such Remaining Shares.

From time to time and on any date following the Closing Date (any such date, an “ET Date”), upon the sale of any Shares, which as stated above, such sales may only occur at a price that is at least $12.00 per share (the number of such Shares, the “Terminated Shares”), the Counterparty shall be entitled to an amount from the Seller equal to the product of (x) the number of newly Terminated Shares since the last ET Date (or the Closing Date if no prior ET Date) and (y) the Termination Price, which equals the Initial Price, in respect of such ET Date (an “Early Termination Obligation”). The Seller shall pay the Early Termination Obligation to the accounts and in the amounts as directed by the Counterparty. The remainder of the Transaction, if any, shall continue in accordance with its terms.

Seller has agreed to waive any redemption rights under GigCapital7’s Certificate of Incorporation with respect to the Shares in connection with the Business Combination during the term of the Forward Purchase Agreement. Such waiver may reduce the number of Ordinary Shares redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, and such reduction could alter the perception of the potential strength of the Business Combination.

The Forward Purchase Agreement has been structured, and all activity in connection with such agreement has been undertaken, to comply with the requirements of all tender offer regulations applicable to the Business Combination, including Rule 14e-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

A copy of the form of Forward Purchase Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC by GigCapital7 on the date hereof, and the foregoing description of the Forward Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.
