Above Food Ingredients Inc. (NASDAQ:ABVE) ("Above Food" or the "Company") today announced the successful closing of a convertible note financing round with strategic investor Aqua 1 Foundation ("Aqua 1"), a leading force at the forefront of Web3 innovation and decentralized finance (DeFi).

As of June 2025, Aqua 1 has become the largest investor in World Liberty Financial, following its USD 100 million strategic investment into the decentralized finance platform and its flagship USD1 stablecoin, founded by Donald J. Trump and his family.

The investment marks a pivotal milestone in the company's high-velocity scaling and accelerated growth strategy. This partnership brings together robust capital backing, along with next-generation digital infrastructure to advance Palm Global's initiatives in asset tokenization and stablecoin deployment.

Aqua 1's $20 million investment, priced at a conversion rate of $2.50 per share, reflects deep conviction in Palm Global's mission to redefine global finance and emerge as the dominant force in tokenization, stablecoin issuance and CBDC infrastructure. Aqua 1 recognizes the transformative potential of Palm Global's Palm Promax Investment partnership, including its tokenization of $1.5 trillion in AA+ and AAA-rated sovereign assets, its gold-backed stablecoin underpinned by $350 billion in U.S.-based gold reserves, and its proprietary trading platforms for real-world asset-backed investment products.

Beyond its financial commitment, Aqua 1's Abu Dhabi entity, Aqua Labs Investment, will integrate its cutting-edge blockchain, Web3 tokenization, RWA, and stablecoin technologies into Palm Global's ecosystem, becoming the exclusive technology partner in this relationship.

This transformative collaboration is designed to deliver unprecedented scalability and operational efficiency across Palm Global's digital currencies, stablecoins, investment products, and trading platforms. It will also significantly strengthen Palm Global's digital infrastructure, opening new pathways for global market expansion and firmly positioning the Company at the forefront of next-generation financial innovation.
