On October 16, 2026, Cipher Digital issued $850.0 million of 0.00% convertible senior notes maturing November 1, 2032, with a 13-day option for initial purchasers to buy up to $150 million more. The company also entered capped call transactions costing about $89.7 million, which are expected to reduce potential dilution from conversions, and agreed to exchange about $165.9 million of its 2030 notes for about 40.7 million shares of common stock. The notes add debt and could dilute shareholders if converted, though the filing says the capped calls are expected to offset some of that dilution.

XTI Drones Holdings, a subsidiary of XTI Aerospace, missed $1.5 million in principal payments due September 30, 2026 on two seller promissory notes tied to its Drone Nerds and Anzu Robotics acquisitions, triggering events of default on October 11, 2026. The defaults also create cross-defaults under the subsidiary's $20.0 million JPMorgan Chase credit agreement, which the company says may let the lender terminate commitments and accelerate about $8.4 million of outstanding revolving loans. The company says it does not have enough liquidity to repay all amounts that could come due, and that the situation could materially harm its liquidity and financial condition.

On October 8, 2026, Mobix Labs held an investor call on its critical minerals strategy, with the transcript furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K. The company said fiscal fourth-quarter 2026 revenue, which ended September 30, is now expected to come in closer to the high end of its $1.4 million to $1.8 million guidance range, and that growth is expected to continue into fiscal first quarter 2027. The call also covered the planned acquisition of Special Project Delivery, which has agreed to acquire Winner Water Services, and the filing states that each transaction has its own closing conditions and approval requirements.
Fiscal Q4 2026 revenue is expected closer to the high end of the $1.4 million to $1.8 million guidance range, well above the $1.6 million midpoint.
The company said this would represent more than 100% growth quarter over quarter, with substantially higher gross margins.
Winner Water Services has received $53 million in Department of Energy and Department of Defense awards over ten years and is building a $25 million demonstration plant in Alabama, with operations expected no later than Q1 2028.
CEO Phil Sansone said he could envision a $30 to $50 million revenue run rate at this time next year, a forward-looking view rather than formal guidance.

High Roller Technologies said its Audit Committee concluded on October 15, 2026 that its unaudited financial statements for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2026 should no longer be relied upon. The error involved approximately $1.0 million of warrant costs tied to a January 2026 registered direct offering; the correction is non-cash, does not affect revenue or cash, and would reduce the reported net loss, but the company also identified an additional material weakness in internal control over financial reporting.
