Business Combination Agreement
On July 21, 2025, TLGY Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“TLGY”), StableCoinX Assets Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SC Assets”), StableCoinX Inc., a Delaware corporation, (“Pubco”), StableCoinX SPAC Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“SPAC Merger Sub”), and StableCoinX Company Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Company Merger Sub”), entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”). SC Assets was founded by Young Cho, the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of TLGY, and Edward Chen, the managing member of the current sponsors of TLGY. Capitalized terms used in this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Form 8-K”) but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Business Combination Agreement.
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (a) TLGY will, subject to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, merge with and into SPAC Merger Sub, with SPAC Merger Sub continuing as the surviving company (the “SPAC Merger”), as a result of which the holders of Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of TLGY (“TLGY Class A Ordinary Shares”), will receive one share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Pubco (“Pubco Class A Common Stock”) for each TLGY Class A Ordinary Share held by such shareholder, and (b) immediately following the SPAC Merger, Company Merger Sub will merge with and into SC Assets, with SC Assets continuing as the surviving company (the “Company Merger”, and together with the SPAC Merger, the “Mergers”), as a result of which the holders of shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of SC Assets (the “SC Assets Class A Common Stock”) will receive one share of Pubco Class A Common Stock for each share of SC Assets Class A Common Stock held by such shareholder and holders of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of SC Assets (the “SC Assets Class B Common Stock”) will receive one share of Pubco Class A Common Stock and one share of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Pubco (the “Pubco Class B Common Stock” and together with the Pubco Class A Common Stock, “Pubco Stock”) for each share of SC Assets Class B Common Stock held by such shareholder. As a result of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Transactions”), TLGY and SC Assets will become wholly owned subsidiaries of Pubco and Pubco will become a publicly traded company, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement.
In connection with the closing of the Transactions (the “Closing”), Pubco will issue two classes of shares of Pubco Stock with different voting and economic rights attached to them. The shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock will have no voting rights other than as required by applicable law. Holders of shares of Pubco Class B Common Stock will be entitled to one vote per share. Holders of Pubco Class A Common Stock will be entitled to receive distributions in proportion to the number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock held by them. Holders of Pubco Class B Common Stock will not have any economic rights. In addition, the shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock will be listed for trading and will be freely transferable, subject to the terms of the Lock-Up Agreements (as defined below) and any restrictions pursuant to applicable laws. The shares of Pubco Class B Common Stock will not be listed or freely transferable. Immediately following Closing, (i) all shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock will be held by (1) the holders of TLGY Class A Ordinary Shares initially included as part of the units sold in TLGY’s initial public offering (the “TLGY Public Shares” and the holders of such shares, the “TLGY Public Shareholders”), (2) the holders of TLGY ordinary shares that are not TLGY Public Shares (the “Founder Shares” and the holders of such shares, the “TLGY Founder Shareholders”), (3) the current holders of shares of SC Assets Class B Common Stock (the “Sellers”), (4) the PIPE Investors (as defined below) and (5) the Ethena Foundation (“Ethena”) and (ii) all shares of Pubco Class B Common Stock will be held only by (1) the TLGY Founder Shareholders, (2) the Sellers and (3) Ethena.
Representations and Warranties
The Business Combination Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties, which shall not survive the Closing. Many of the representations and warranties are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect. “Material Adverse Effect” as used in the Business Combination Agreement means, with respect to any specified person, any fact, event, occurrence, change or effect that has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect upon (i) the business, assets, liabilities, results of operations, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of such person and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (ii) the ability of such person or any of its subsidiaries to consummate the Transactions, in each case subject to certain customary exceptions.

The Business Combination Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Form 8-K and the foregoing description thereof is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Business Combination Agreement and the terms of which are incorporated by reference herein. The filing of the Business Combination Agreement herewith provides investors with information regarding its terms and is not intended to provide any other factual information about the parties. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties contained in the Business Combination Agreement were made as of the execution date of the Business Combination Agreement only and are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules provided by the parties to each other in connection with the signing of the Business Combination Agreement. These disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies, and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. Moreover, certain representations, warranties and covenants in the Business Combination Agreement may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties rather than establishing matters of fact. Accordingly, you should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants in the Business Combination Agreement as characterizations of the actual statements of fact about the parties. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Business Combination Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in TLGY’s or Pubco’s public disclosures.

Collaboration Agreement
Contemporaneously with the signing of the Business Combination Agreement, Pubco, SC Assets, Ethena and Ethena OpCo entered into a collaboration agreement (the “Collaboration Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Ethena agreed to provide Pubco a right to participate in certain future offerings of Ethena’s native protocol governance token of Ethena (“ENA Token”) made by it on terms no less favorable than other investors and to collaborate with Pubco on an ongoing basis to support the operation of Pubco’s infrastructure, staking and treasury activities of ENA Token and Pubco’s public advocacy for the blockchain-based protocol and off-chain architecture and related systems for ENA Token (the “Ethena Protocol”) within the traditional finance ecosystem. Pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement, Pubco agreed that its business would be to provide infrastructure, staking and other products and services to the Ethena Protocol and that it would not change such business, acquire digital assets other than ENA Token, or enter into a merger, acquisition, disposition or similar transaction that would have the effect of changing such business without the prior approval of the Investment Committee (as defined below) and a majority of the holders to Pubco Class B Common Stock. Pubco also agreed to establish an investment committee (the “Investment Committee”) at the Closing, which will consist of one representative from Pubco, one representative from Ethena (the “Ethena Representative”) and one independent representative to be mutually agreed upon by the parties to the Collaboration Agreement. The Investment Committee will have authority over capital allocation decisions of Pubco, including the timing, size, price and frequency of purchases of ENA Token, material borrowings and any other transaction outside the normal course of Pubco’s business.
In addition, the parties to the Collaboration Agreement agreed to take various actions in connection with and in furtherance of the transactions contemplated by the PIPE Subscription Agreements, including, but not limited to (i) using the Net Cash PIPE Proceeds (as defined below) to purchase locked ENA Tokens (the “Locked ENA Tokens”) from Ethena OpCo in accordance with the terms of the Token Purchase Agreement, and Ethena OpCo agreed to deposit such Locked ENA Token into the Custodial Account (as defined below), (ii) Ethena agreed, in the event that the consummation of the Transactions does not occur, to unlock a portion of the Locked ENA Token held in the Custodial Account in an amount equal to (x) the Net Cash PIPE Proceeds divided by (y) the seven day time weighted average price of ENA Token on Binance and Bybit on the date of the PIPE Subscription Agreements (the “ENA Return Amount”), (iii) the parties agreed to release the Locked ENA Token to Pubco in the event that the Closing occurs and (iv) the parties agreed to provide joint instructions to the Custodian (as defined below) to effectuate each of the foregoing transactions. The initial term of the Contribution Agreement is five years and will automatically renew for successive one-year periods unless Ethena delivers written notice of non-renewal within 90 days of the end of the term. If the Contribution Agreement is terminated, the Ethena Representative will resign from the Investment Committee and the board of directors of Pubco and Ethena will forfeit any shares of Pubco Class B Common Stock then held by it for no consideration.
The Collaboration Agreement and certain of its provisions will terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of the Business Combination Agreement pursuant to its terms or (ii) Ethena delivering written notice of non-renewal within 90 days of the end of the term.
The Collaboration Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K, and the foregoing description thereof is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Collaboration Agreement and the terms of which are incorporated by reference herein.
Contribution Agreement
In connection with the signing of the Collaboration Agreement, TLGY, SC Assets, Pubco and Ethena also entered into a contribution agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”), pursuant to which Ethena agreed to contribute $60 million of ENA Tokens, valued at a 30% discount to the fair market value of such ENA Token on the date of the Contribution Agreement, to SC Assets prior to the Company Merger (the “ENA Contribution”), in exchange for shares of SC Assets Class B Common Stock, such that immediately following the closing of the Mergers, Ethena will beneficially own a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Pubco.
The Contribution Agreement and certain of its provisions will terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of the Business Combination Agreement pursuant to its terms, (ii) the mutual written consent of the parties thereto, (iii) July 21, 2026 or (iv) if any of the conditions to closing as forth therein are not satisfied or waived as of the Closing Date (as defined therein).
The Contribution Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Form 8-K, and the foregoing description thereof is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Contribution Agreement and the terms of which are incorporated by reference herein.

Token Purchase Agreement
Contemporaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement and to facilitate the transactions contemplated by the PIPE Subscription Agreements, SC Assets, solely in its capacity as administrative agent for the Cash PIPE Investors (as defined below) (the “Administrative Agent”) and Ethena OpCo entered into a token purchase agreement (the “Token Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Ethena OpCo agreed to sell the Locked ENA Token to SC Assets, solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent, valued at a 30% discount to the fair market value of the ENA Token at the signing of the Token Purchase Agreement, which Locked ENA Token will be deposited by Ethena OpCo into the Custodial Account. The Locked ENA Token may not be transferred for a period of 48 months after the date of the Token Purchase Agreement, subject to earlier unlock and release from such transfer restrictions as follows: (i) 25% of the Locked ENA Token will be unlocked on the 12 month anniversary of the Closing and (ii) the remaining 75% of the Locked ENA Token will be unlocked in 36 equal monthly installments thereafter.
The Token Purchase Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Form 8-K, and the foregoing description thereof is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Token Purchase Agreement and the terms of which are incorporated by reference herein.
PIPE Subscription Agreements
Contemporaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”) have agreed to make a private investment in SC Assets by purchasing shares of SC Assets Class A Common Stock prior to the Company Merger (the “PIPE Shares”) in the aggregate amount of approximately $363 million, of which approximately $101 million will be paid in ENA Tokens (including the $60 million ENA Contribution) and approximately $262 million will be paid in cash, USDC or USDT (collectively, “Cash”) pursuant to the terms of the PIPE subscription agreements (the “PIPE Subscription Agreements” and the transactions contemplated by the PIPE Subscription Agreements, the “PIPE”).
As described above and in accordance with the terms of the Token Purchase Agreement, promptly after the date of the PIPE Subscription Agreements, the net Cash proceeds from the PIPE, less up to $2.5 million of transaction expenses (the “Permitted Expense Amount” and such net amount, the “Net Cash PIPE Proceeds”), will be used to purchase the Locked ENA Token from Ethena OpCo, which Locked ENA Token will be deposited into a custodial account (the “Custodial Account”) established for the benefit of the PIPE Investors who paid for their PIPE Shares in Cash (the “Cash PIPE Investors”), with Anchorage Digital Bank N.A. serving as custodian (the “Custodian”). The Locked ENA Token and the Permitted Expense Amount will be held in the Custodial Account until the earlier of (i) the Closing and (ii) the termination of the Business Combination Agreement and/or the PIPE Subscription Agreements in accordance with their terms.
As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing, the Locked ENA Tokens and the Permitted Expense Amount (net of any fees and expenses related to the Custodial Account) will be released from the Custodial Account and transferred to an account designated by the SC Assets and Pubco. In the event that the Closing does not occur prior to the earlier of such date and time as the Business Combination Agreement or the PIPE Subscription Agreement is terminated in accordance with their terms, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, Ethena will promptly (but in no event later than two business days thereafter) unlock a portion of the Locked ENA Token held in the Custodial Account in an amount equal to the ENA Return Amount and the ENA Return Amount together with the Permitted Expense Amount (net of any fees and expenses related to the Custodial Account) will promptly be released (but in no event later than four business days after such termination date), on a pro rata basis, to the Cash PIPE Investors. To the extent any PIPE Investors who paid for their PIPE Shares with ENA Token had already delivered their ENA Token in accordance with the terms of the PIPE Subscription Agreement, such ENA Token would be promptly returned to such PIPE Investor.
The closing of the PIPE is contingent upon the satisfaction of all closing conditions to consummate the Transactions and the PIPE Investors’ consent to any amendments, modifications or waivers to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the economic benefits of the PIPE Investors, among other customary closing conditions.
Pursuant to the PIPE Subscription Agreements, TLGY and Pubco have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock into which the PIPE Shares will be converted upon consummation of the Company Merger to be registered on the Registration Statement. To the extent that any such shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock are unable to be included on the Registration Statement, Pubco has agreed to certain obligations to register and maintain the registration of the PIPE Shares, including that, within 30 calendar days after the Closing, Pubco will file with the SEC (at Pubco’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the PIPE Shares, and Pubco shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than 60 calendar days after the Closing, which may be extended to 90 calendar days if the SEC reviews and comments on the registration statement.
The PIPE Subscription Agreements and certain of its provisions will terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of the Business Combination Agreement pursuant to its terms, (ii) the mutual written consent of the parties thereto, (iii) July 21, 2026 or (iv) if any of the conditions to closing as forth therein are not satisfied or waived as of the Closing Date (as defined therein).

Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 8-K includes certain statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Such forward-looking statements with respect to the proposed Business Combination include expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions, plans, prospects, financial results or strategies regarding SC Assets, Pubco, TLGY and the proposed Business Combination, statements regarding the anticipated benefits and timing of the completion of the proposed Business Combination, the assets held by SC Assets and Pubco, the price and volatility of ENA Token, ENA Token’s growing prominence as an issuer of digital dollars on-chain, Pubco’s listing on any securities exchange, the macro, political and regulatory conditions surrounding ENA Token, the planned business strategy including Pubco’s ability to develop a corporate architecture capable of supporting its treasury initiatives and strategic stake in the Ethena Protocol, plans and use of proceeds, objectives of management for future operations of Pubco, the upside potential and opportunity for investors, Pubco’s plan for value creation and strategic advantages, market size and growth opportunities, regulatory conditions, technological and market trends, future financial condition and performance and expected financial impacts of the proposed Business Combination, the satisfaction of closing conditions to the proposed Business Combination and the level of redemptions of TLGY’s public shareholders, and Pubco’s expectations, intentions, strategies, assumptions or beliefs about future events, results of operations or performance or that do not solely relate to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this Form 8-K, including, but not limited to: the risk that the proposed Business Combination may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of TLGY’s securities; the risk that the proposed Business Combination may not be completed by TLGY’s business combination deadline; the failure by the parties to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the proposed Business Combination, including the approval of TLGY’s shareholders and the listing of Pubco’s securities on a national securities exchange at closing; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed Business Combination; the level of redemptions by TLGY’s public shareholders, which may reduce the public float of, reduce the liquidity of the trading market of, and/or impact the ability of, the shares of Class A common stock of Pubco to be listed in connection with the proposed Business Combination; the insufficiency of the third-party fairness opinion for the board of directors of TLGY in determining whether or not to pursue the proposed Business Combination; the failure of Pubco to obtain or maintain the listing of its securities on any securities exchange after closing of the proposed Business Combination; risks associated with TLGY, SC Assets and Pubco’s ability to consummate the proposed Business Combination timely or at all, including in connection with potential regulatory delays or impediments, changes in ENA Token prices or for other reasons; costs related to the proposed Business Combination and as a result of becoming a public company; changes in business, market, financial, political and regulatory conditions; risks relating to Pubco’s anticipated operations and business, including the volatile nature of the price of ENA Token; the risk that Pubco’s stock price will be highly correlated to the price of ENA Token and the price of ENA Token may decrease between the signing of the definitive documents for the proposed Business Combination and the closing of the proposed Business Combination or at any time after the closing of the proposed Business Combination; risks associated with TLGY, SC Assets and Pubco’s ability to consummate the proposed Business Combination timely or at all, including in connection with potential regulatory delays or impediments, changes in ENA Token prices or for other reasons; risks related to increased competition in the industries in which Pubco will operate; risks relating to significant legal, commercial, regulatory and technical uncertainty regarding ENA Token; risks relating to the treatment of crypto assets for U.S. and foreign tax purposes; risks that after consummation of the proposed Business Combination, Pubco experiences difficulties managing its growth and expanding operations; the risks that launching and growing Pubco’s ENA Token treasury advisory and services in digital marketing and strategy could be difficult; challenges in implementing Pubco’s business plan, due to operational challenges, significant competition and regulation; being considered to be a “shell company” by any stock exchange on which Pubco’s Class A Common Stock will be listed or by the SEC, which may impact Pubco’s ability to list its securities and restrict reliance on certain rules or forms in connection with the offering, sale or resale of securities; the outcome of any potential legal proceedings that may be instituted against Pubco, SC Assets, TLGY or others following announcement of the proposed Business Combination, and those risk factors discussed in documents that Pubco and/or TLGY has filed, or will file, with the SEC. The foregoing list of risk factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of The Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q that have been and/or will be filed by TLGY with the SEC from time to time, the Registration Statement that will be filed by Pubco and TLGY and the proxy statement/prospectus contained therein, and other documents that have been or will be filed by TLGY and Pubco from time to time with the SEC. These filings do or will identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither TLGY, SC Assets nor Pubco presently know or that TLGY, SC Assets and Pubco currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements.
