We withdrew our election to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act at the end of 2019, and during the years since that time have refocused our business on providing short-term specialty finance solutions to private businesses, small-cap public companies and high-net-worth individuals. Given that our current business has been developed and pursued over the five years prior to this filing, investors have a relatively limited means to evaluate our performance, its evolution, and the likelihood of our future success.

Our business depends in part on maintaining diverse and robust sources of capital to originate our short-term loans. In January 2022, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Eastman Investment, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and Lyle A. Berman, as trustee of the Lyle A. Berman Revocable Trust (collectively, the “Lenders”). Mr. Berman is a director of our company. Under the Loan Agreement, the Lenders made available to us a $5 million revolving line of credit for us to use in the ordinary course of our short-term specialty finance business. Amounts drawn under the Loan Agreement accrued interest at the per annum rate of 8%, and all our obligations under the Loan Agreement were secured by a grant of a collateral security interest in substantially all of our assets. As a Lender, Mr. Berman was obligated to furnish only one-half of the aggregate $5 million available under the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement had a five-year term ending on January 3, 2027, at which time all amounts owing under the Loan Agreement were to become due and payable; subject, however, to each Lender’s right, including Mr. Berman, to terminate the Loan Agreement, solely with respect to such Lender’s obligation to provide further credit, at any time after January 3, 2023. See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.” In January 2024, we terminated the Loan Agreement having earlier satisfied all of our obligations thereunder.

In light of all of the foregoing, a significant and material amount of our assets are now invested in Mustang through March 2027. Given the size of the investment relative to our balance sheet, Mustang’s payment of interest and repayment of principal owed under that loan will likely materially contribute to our results of operation and may affect the trading price of common stock. Furthermore, while we believe that the addition of collateral security and the termination of our combination negotiations permits us to classify our investment in Mustang as a “commercial lending transaction” that will not be considered an “investment security” for purposes of the 1940 Act, we cannot be certain that regulatory authorities will concur with our analysis and conclusion. For more information and context for these risks, please see “Business — Our Investment Process” and “Risk Factors — If we are deemed to be an investment company under the 1940 Act ….”

Nine shareholders (five of whom are presently officers and directors) beneficially own shares representing a majority of our issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, investors in our common stock cannot reasonably expect to have any significant influence over the election of our directors or other matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders. Instead, our existing significant shareholders will exert a substantial influence on the election of our directors and any actions requiring or otherwise put to a shareholder vote, potentially in a manner that you do not support. Examples of such voting matters, apart from the election of our directors, includes amendments to our articles of incorporation, bylaws, and approval of major corporate transactions. The concentrated amount of control over our affairs held by a relatively few number of significant investors could serve to reduce the attractiveness or liquidity of our common stock, and thereby depress its trading price.

Revenue was primarily generated through interest income, transaction fees, and capital appreciation from related portfolio investments.

In July 2025, we undertook a strategic shift by launching the industry’s first SUI treasury strategy, under which the principal holding in our treasury reserve on the balance sheet is allocated to the native cryptocurrency of the Sui blockchain (commonly referred to as “SUI”). In support of this strategic shift, on July 31, 2025, the Company completed the private placement of 75,881,625 shares of Common Stock at an offering price of $5.42 per-share, and Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to 7,144,205 shares of Common Stock at an offering price of $5.4199 per Pre-Funded Warrants, exercisable at a per-share price of $0.0001. On July 31, 2025, the Company consummated the offer and sale of its securities pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 27, 2025, by and among the Company and the investors identified on the signature pages thereto. The transaction was settled through a combination of cash, cash equivalent, USDC, and digital assets, resulting in cash and cash equivalents proceeds of $259.0 million and the receipt of approximately $191.0 million in SUI tokens and USDT coins contributed in-kind by certain investors as part of their investment consideration. The Company issued warrants to the Sui Foundation, certain investors involved in the private placement and certain management and directors in conjunction with the private placement. Since the launch of our digital asset treasury strategy, we have established the largest publicly traded SUI treasury, backed by an exclusive relationship with the Sui Foundation, an independent organization dedicated to the advancement and adoption of the Sui network.

SUI is a next-generation Layer 1 blockchain designed to deliver the scalability, speed, and security required to power decentralized applications and real-world cryptocurrency use cases across finance, gaming, artificial intelligence, stablecoins, and more. Its horizontally scalable architecture, low-latency finality, and secure, developer-friendly design, position it as a leading infrastructure platform capable of handling real-world scale. As institutional and consumer adoption accelerates, SUI offers the potential to enable a wide range of transformative digital experiences and create long-term value opportunities for Sui Group and its shareholders.

On August 26, 2025, we formally changed our name to Sui Group Holdings Limited, following an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation filed with the Officer of the Minnesota Secretary of State.

The Company’s strategy is to maximize the value of SUI per-share and support the growth of the Sui ecosystem through scalable, transparent, and long-term value creation strategies. We therefore aim to capitalize on this opportunity by acquiring SUI tokens through open-market purchases, institutional-grade deal flow typically reserved for cryptocurrency funds, and a negotiated purchase agreement with the Sui Foundation. This structure enables broader investor access to SUI through a regulated, publicly traded vehicle. As the only SUI treasury with Sui Foundation support, we believe that we are uniquely positioned to capitalize on technology trends and ecosystem growth relating to SUI, while providing regulated, liquid, and institutional-grade access to the Sui blockchain designed for scalability and global adoption.

As of December 31, 2025, we held 105 million SUI tokens in our treasury, representing $147.4 million in digital assets. This equates to approximately 1.34 SUI per share of Common Stock and Pre-Funded Warrants (as defined below) outstanding. Approximately 99% of our SUI holdings continued to be staked, generating an annualized yield of approximately 1.7%, or approximately $10,000 in daily staking rewards, with the balance of the SUI tokens applied to higher margin direct lending opportunities. We believe this staking strategy enhances the productivity of our treasury while maintaining exposure to potential SUI price appreciation and serves as a flexible source of liquidity for future acquisitions and operational portfolio investments.
