1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On
April 7, 2026 and May 19, 2026, AMC Robotics Corporation (the “Company”) entered into two Simple Agreements for Future Equity
(each, a “SAFE” and collectively, the “SAFEs”) with Etronium AI Inc., a North Carolina corporation (“Etronium”),
pursuant to which the Company invested an aggregate of $1,000,000 in Etronium, consisting of a $500,000 investment under each SAFE.
Each
SAFE provides the Company with the right to receive certain shares of Etronium’s capital stock upon the occurrence of certain future
events, including an equity financing, liquidity event or dissolution event, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. Each
SAFE has a specific post-money
valuation cap.
Upon
the closing of an equity financing by Etronium prior to the termination of the applicable SAFE, such SAFE will automatically convert
into the greater of: (i) the number of shares of Etronium’s standard preferred stock equal to the applicable purchase amount divided
by the lowest price per share of the standard preferred stock issued in such equity financing; or (ii) the number of shares of Etronium’s
SAFE preferred stock equal to the applicable purchase amount divided by the SAFE price, in each case as more fully described in the applicable
SAFE.
Upon
a liquidity event prior to the termination of the applicable SAFE, the Company will be entitled to receive, subject to the liquidation
priority set forth in the applicable SAFE, a portion of the proceeds equal to the greater of: (i) the applicable purchase amount; or
(ii) the amount payable on the number of shares of Etronium common stock equal to the applicable purchase amount divided by the liquidity
price, in each case as more fully described in the applicable SAFE. Upon a dissolution event prior to the termination of the applicable
SAFE, the Company will be entitled to receive, subject to the liquidation priority set forth in the applicable SAFE, a portion of the
proceeds equal to the applicable purchase amount.
The
foregoing description of the SAFEs does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of
the SAFEs, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
On
June 4, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing the investment. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this

ETRONIUM
AI INC.
SAFE
(Simple
Agreement for Future Equity)
THIS
CERTIFIES THAT in exchange for the payment by AMC Robotics Corporation (the “Investor”) of $500,000 (the “Purchase
Amount”) on or about ____, 2026, Etronium AI Inc., a North Carolina corporation (the “Company”),
issues to the Investor the right to certain shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, subject to the terms described below.
The
“Post-Money Valuation Cap” is $______. See Section 2 for certain additional defined terms.
1.
Events
(a)
Equity Financing. If there is an Equity Financing before the termination of this Safe, on the initial closing of such Equity
Financing, this Safe will automatically convert into the greater of: (1) the number of shares of Standard Preferred Stock equal to the
Purchase Amount divided by the lowest price per share of the Standard Preferred Stock; or (2) the number of shares of Safe Preferred
Stock equal to the Purchase Amount divided by the Safe Price.
In
connection with the automatic conversion of this Safe into shares of Standard Preferred Stock or Safe Preferred Stock, the Investor will
execute and deliver to the Company all of the transaction documents related to the Equity Financing; provided, that such documents
(i) are the same documents to be entered into with the purchasers of Standard Preferred Stock, with appropriate variations for the Safe
Preferred Stock if applicable, and (ii) have customary exceptions to any drag-along applicable to the Investor, including (without limitation)
limited representations, warranties, liability and indemnification obligations for the Investor.
(b)
Liquidity Event. If there is a Liquidity Event before the termination of this Safe, the Investor will automatically be
entitled (subject to the liquidation priority set forth in Section 1(d) below) to receive a portion of Proceeds, due and payable to the
Investor immediately prior to, or concurrent with, the consummation of such Liquidity Event, equal to the greater of (i) the Purchase
Amount (the “Cash-Out Amount”) or (ii) the amount payable on the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Purchase
Amount divided by the Liquidity Price (the “Conversion Amount”). If any of the Company’s securityholders are
given a choice as to the form and amount of Proceeds to be received in a Liquidity Event, the Investor will be given the same choice,
provided that the Investor may not choose to receive a form of consideration that the Investor would be ineligible to receive
as a result of the Investor’s failure to satisfy any requirement or limitation generally applicable to the Company’s securityholders,
or under any applicable laws.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in connection with a Change of Control intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization, the Company may reduce the cash
portion of Proceeds payable to the Investor by the amount determined by its board of directors in good faith for such Change of Control
to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes, provided that such reduction (A) does not reduce the total
Proceeds payable to such Investor and (B) is applied in the same manner and on a pro rata basis to all securityholders who have equal
priority to the Investor under Section 1(d).
(c)
Dissolution Event. If there is a Dissolution Event before the termination of this Safe, the Investor will automatically
be entitled (subject to the liquidation priority set forth in Section 1(d) below) to receive a portion of Proceeds equal to the Cash-Out
Amount, due and payable to the Investor immediately prior to the consummation of the Dissolution Event.
(d)
Liquidation Priority. In a Liquidity Event or Dissolution Event, this Safe is intended to operate like standard non-participating
Preferred Stock. The Investor’s right to receive its Cash-Out Amount is:
(i)
Junior to payment of outstanding indebtedness and creditor claims, including contractual claims for payment and convertible promissory
notes (to the extent such convertible promissory notes are not actually or notionally converted into Capital Stock);
(ii)
On par with payments for other Safes and/or Preferred Stock, and if the applicable Proceeds are insufficient to permit full payments
to the Investor and such other Safes and/or Preferred Stock, the applicable Proceeds will be distributed pro rata to the Investor and
such other Safes and/or Preferred Stock in proportion to the full payments that would otherwise be due; and
(iii)
Senior to payments for Common Stock.
The
Investor’s right to receive its Conversion Amount is (A) on par with payments for Common Stock and other Safes and/or Preferred
Stock who are also receiving Conversion Amounts or Proceeds on a similar as-converted to Common Stock basis, and (B) junior to payments
described in clauses (i) and (ii) above (in the latter case, to the extent such payments are Cash-Out Amounts or similar liquidation
preferences).
(e)
Termination. This Safe will automatically terminate (without relieving the Company of any obligations arising from a prior
breach of or non-compliance with this Safe) immediately following the earliest to occur of: (i) the issuance of Capital Stock to the
Investor pursuant to the automatic conversion of this Safe under Section 1(a); or (ii) the payment, or setting aside for payment, of
amounts due the Investor pursuant to Section 1(b) or Section 1(c).

Exhibit 99.1
AMC
Robotics Makes Strategic Investment in Etronium AI, an Agentic Edge AI Company Founded by Duke University Professors
Investment
strengthens AMC Robotics’ focus on agentic AI systems for robotics and real-world hardware integration
NEW
YORK – June 4, 2026 – AMC Robotics Corporation (Nasdaq: AMCI) (“AMC Robotics” or the “Company”),
an AI-driven robotics solutions provider, today announced that it has entered into two Simple Agreements for Future Equity (each, a “SAFE”
and collectively, the “SAFEs”) with Etronium AI Inc. (“Etronium AI”), a North Carolina-based technology company
developing agentic AI frameworks for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) workflows. The Company invested in Etronium AI through two separate investments
made on April 7, 2026 and May 19, 2026.
“Etronium
AI is building a platform that allows AI systems to write, deploy, and test code directly on physical hardware, helping bridge the gap
between simulation and real-world robotics,” said Sean Da, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AMC Robotics. “By validating
AI performance against live hardware rather than simulation alone, their technology directly attacks one of the most time-consuming and
costly stages of robotics development. We expect this capability to meaningfully accelerate our own product roadmap—shortening
development cycles and improving the reliability of platforms such as Kyro™ and NovaArm™. As robotics and edge AI move toward
real-world deployment at scale, the ability to build and validate intelligent systems faster and more efficiently is becoming a decisive
competitive advantage. This investment gives AMC Robotics early, strategic access to a foundational capability that strengthens our products
and sharpens our position across industrial, security, and commercial markets.
Strategic
Rationale
Etronium
AI is addressing a core challenge in AI deployment: enabling AI systems to reliably interact with physical hardware in a testable and
iterative environment. As AI extends beyond cloud environments into robotics, embedded systems, and edge computing, hardware-aware intelligence
is becoming a key differentiator in building autonomous systems.
Etronium
AI’s proprietary agentic platform leverages large language models (LLMs) to enable AI agents to interact directly with physical
devices. The platform supports firmware development, hardware knowledge management, device monitoring, and hardware-in-the-loop testing
across diverse microcontrollers, operating systems, and connectivity protocols. By combining AI-driven automation with live hardware
feedback, Etronium AI is designed to streamline the development, validation, and deployment of intelligent systems in real-world environments.
The
platform delivers measurable efficiency gains, including a 30-50% reduction in time-to-prototype, 40-60% reduction in integration effort,
and 30-50% fewer debug and diagnosis iterations. These efficiencies align with AMC Robotics’ development roadmap for its Kyro™
quadruped robotic platform and NovaArm™ warehouse logistics robot.
This
investment supports AMC Robotics’ broader strategy to build an ecosystem of enabling technologies that accelerate robotics development,
reduce time-to-market, and improve system intelligence across industrial, security, and commercial applications.
Investment
Terms
Each
SAFE entitles AMC Robotics to receive equity in Etronium AI upon the occurrence of certain future qualifying events, including a bona
fide equity financing, liquidity event, or dissolution event, subject to the terms and conditions of the respective agreements.
Copies
of the SAFEs are filed as exhibits to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) on June 4, 2026.

Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include information concerning the Company’s possible or assumed future results
of operations, business strategies, debt levels, competitive position, industry environment, potential growth opportunities, and the
effects of regulation. These forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s management’s current expectations, projections,
and beliefs, as well as a number of assumptions concerning future events. When used in this communication, the words “estimates,”
“projected,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “forecasts,” “plans,” “intends,”
“believes,” “seeks,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “future,” “propose,”
and variations of these words or similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify
forward-looking statements.
These
forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions, or results, and involve a number of known and unknown
risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other important factors, many of which are outside of the Company’s control, that could
cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties, assumptions,
and other important factors include, but are not limited to: (a) challenges in opening operations in new jurisdictions, including but
not limited to compliance with local ordinances, obtaining any necessary permits and regulatory oversight; (b) the ability to recognize
the anticipated benefits of the new operations; (c) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company;
(d) the ability to continue to meet the applicable stock exchange listing standards; (e) the effect of the Company’s completed
business combination with AlphaVest Acquisition Corp (“AlphaVest”) on the Company’s business relationships, performance,
and business generally and the risk that such transaction further disrupts current plans and operations of the Company or its subsidiaries;
(f) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the transaction with AlphaVest, which may be affected by, among other things,
competition, the ability of the Company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and
retain its management and key employees; (g) changes in applicable laws or regulations, including legal or regulatory developments (including,
without limitation, accounting considerations); (h) the possibility that AMC Robotics may be adversely affected by other economic, business,
and/or competitive factors; (i) AMC Robotics’ estimates of expenses and profitability; and (j) other risks and uncertainties indicated
under “Risk Factors” contained in AMC Robotics’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and
other documents filed or to be filed with the SEC by AMC Robotics. Copies are available on the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.
The
Company assumes no obligation and, except as required by law, does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether
as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. The Company gives no assurance that it will achieve its expectations.
