Subject Line: Exciting news about our future

 

Dear Team,

 

Today marks an important milestone in our journey!

 

We are pleased to share some exciting news about the future of OpenPayd. The Company has entered into a definitive agreement to combine with Titan Acquisition Corp, a publicly listed special purpose acquisition company (the Transaction). The Transaction, once completed, is expected to result in OpenPayd becoming a publicly traded company listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange in the United States.

 

Overview of the Transaction

 

The Transaction is expected to value OpenPayd at over $1billion. The proposed listing reflects the vision of our founder, Ozan, to bring the capital and the public endorsement we need to continue to innovate and to expand globally.

 

Reaching unicorn status positions us among a small group of companies shaping the future of finance. This next step will enable us to remain true to our Mission and continue to build the universal financial infrastructure that powers global money movements.

 

The Transaction is expected to close towards the end of 2026, subject to securing capital, as well as the usual regulatory and shareholder approvals. As with any transaction on the capital markets, there are still many steps ahead and we are committed to keeping you informed as the process progresses.

 

What This Means for You

 

This announcement is the beginning of the journey to become a public company. Our day-to-day operations and management remain unchanged and there will be no changes to your employment arrangements. It is very much business as usual across the company and for our clients and partners. We are confident that this Transaction positions OpenPayd well for long-term growth, and we remain committed to supporting every member of our team through this process and beyond.

 

Confidentiality

 

The information contained in this notice is strictly confidential and should not be disclosed to or shared with any third party without the prior written consent of the Company. Please refer to the FAQ for further details and familiarise yourselves with the restrictions on the disclosure of material nonpublic information. We will share further information regarding insider trading compliance policy shortly.

 

 

 

 

Next Steps

 

To help address your immediate questions, we have prepared an initial FAQ, which you can find here: [LINK to intranet page]

 

We will also hold an All Hands this morning, 01 June, to talk through the announcement and what it means for the business.

 

We will of course provide further appropriate updates as the Transaction moves forward and you are welcome to address any questions you may have to me, your line manager or Aysun Ahi.

 

Lastly, I want to say I am immensely proud of the team we built together and would like to personally thank you all for the effort in earning OpenPayd this unicorn recognition.

 

Warm regards,
Iana

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This communication includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” plan,” project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “target” or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends that are not statements of historical matters, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding expectations of OpenPayd or Titan concerning the outlook for their business, productivity, plans and goals for future operational improvements and capital investments, operational performance, future market conditions or economic performance and developments in the capital and credit markets, as well as any information concerning possible, assumed, estimated or expected future operations and future financial performance of OpenPayd. Forward-looking statements also include statements regarding the expected benefits of the proposed transaction. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this communication, and on the current expectations of management of Titan, OpenPayd and Titan Acquisition Sponsor Holdco LLC (the “Sponsor”) and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as and must not be relied on by any investor as a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Titan, OpenPayd and the Sponsor. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in Titan’s final prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated April 8, 2025, its subsequent filings with the SEC and in the definitive proxy statement to be delivered to Titan’s shareholders and related registration statement on Form F-4, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” therein, and other documents filed or to be filed with the SEC by Titan. These filings would 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. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political, and legal conditions; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed transaction, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could materially and adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed transaction or that the approval of shareholders is not obtained; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to OpenPayd; any downturn or volatility in economic conditions, including inflation; risks related to the rollout of OpenPayd’s business and the timing of expected business milestones, and to relationships with customers; the effects of competition on OpenPayd’s future business; risks related to OpenPayd’s ability to protect its intellectual property and avoid infringement by others, or claims of infringement against it; disruption of OpenPayd’s relationships with its customers, business partners and others resulting from the announcement of the proposed transaction; the amount of redemption requests made by Titan’s public shareholders; the ability of Titan or the combined company to issue equity or equity-linked securities in connection with the proposed transaction or in the future. If any of these risks materialize or OpenPayd’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither Titan nor OpenPayd presently know or that they currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ, potentially materially, from those contained in or implied by the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Titan’s and OpenPayd’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this communication. There may be additional risks that Titan and OpenPayd do not presently know or that they currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. While Titan or OpenPayd may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Titan and OpenPayd specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Titan’s or OpenPayd’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this communication. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements
