OpenPayd and Titan previously announced that they had entered into a definitive business combination agreement dated June 1, 2026. Under the terms of the business combination agreement, Titan will merge with and into PubCo, with PubCo surviving the merger, and PubCo will acquire the issued share capital of OpenPayd. Upon completion of the proposed business combination, OpenPayd is expected to become a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo, and PubCo is expected to be the publicly listed parent company of the combined business.
