Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive

Agreement.

On May 30, 2026, Datavault AI Inc. (the “Company”)

entered into a non-binding (except for certain provisions thereof) term sheet with Helmex Global LLP (the “Term Sheet”) relating

to a potential $2.0 billion structured financing transaction (the “Transaction”) with Helmex Financial

LLP and/or Helmex Global LLP and/or one or more of their respective affiliates (together, the “Counterparty”) anticipated

to operate through an institutional investment fund and be structured across four successive tranches of up to $500 million in value for each tranche.

The Company has a binding

obligation under the Term Sheet to make a non-refundable payment to the Counterparty in the amount of $25.0 million no later than June

4, 2026, which is to be used by the Counterparty to fund administrative, operational, and structuring-related costs and expenses in connection

with the first tranche of the Transaction. The Term Sheet contemplates that the Company will pay an additional transaction fee of $25.0

million in administrative, operational, and structuring-related costs and expenses for each additional tranche.

The Term Sheet contemplates

a potential $2.0 billion structured financing transaction, pursuant to which the Company may issue shares of its capital stock at a purchase

price of $1.55 to $2.00 per share to the Counterparty, in exchange for preferred units in an investment vehicle valued at approximately $2.0 billion (the “investment vehicle”). The Term Sheet also contemplates

that upon the closing of each tranche, the Counterparty would be entitled to nominate one additional director to the Company’s Board

of Directors (the “Board”).

Consummation of the Transaction

is subject to, among other things: (i) completion of due diligence satisfactory to the Company and the Counterparty; (ii) negotiation

and execution of definitive agreements; (iii) approval by the Company’s stockholders; (iv) receipt of applicable regulatory approvals,

including antitrust clearance and any required clearance from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”);

(v) an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s

capital stock, if required; (vi) receipt by the Board of a fairness opinion with respect to the Transaction; (vii) payment of the applicable

transaction fees; and (viii) the completion and acceptance of the independent valuation of the preferred units.

The Term Sheet is non-binding except with respect

to certain limited provisions, including the fee obligation described above, and may be terminated by either party at any time, subject

to such binding provisions. There can be no assurance that definitive agreements will be executed or that the Transaction will be consummated

on the terms described herein or at all.

The foregoing summary of the Term Sheet does

not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference, to the full text of the Term Sheet, a copy

of which the Company will file as an exhibit to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2026 or an amendment

to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On June 1, 2026, the Company issued a press release

announcing the execution of the Term Sheet and the proposed terms and conditions of the Transaction described in Item 1.01 of this Current

Report on Form 8-K. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1

attached hereto) is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange

Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall they be deemed

incorporated by reference into any filing by Datavault, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),

or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking

Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking

statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, Section 27A of the Securities

Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements include,

without limitation, statements regarding the completion of the Transaction, the satisfaction of customary closing conditions related to

the Transaction, the acquisition of preferred units in the investment vehicle and the potential establishment of a collateral base and

related secured borrowing facility. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “may,”

“will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,”

“believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “potential,” or “continue,” or the negative

of these terms or other comparable terminology. The absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Such

forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company and its

management, are inherently uncertain.

Actual results may differ materially from those

indicated by these forward-looking statements as a result of various risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation: failure to

negotiate and execute definitive agreements on terms acceptable to the parties, or at all; failure to complete due diligence, including

review of the investment vehicle and its underlying portfolio, to the satisfaction of the Company; failure to obtain required regulatory

approvals, including applicable antitrust clearance and any required CFIUS clearance, or the imposition of adverse conditions in connection

therewith; failure to obtain the required approval of the Company’s stockholders; failure to obtain required consents or waivers

under the Company’s existing agreements and debt instruments, including in respect of change of control provisions; failure to obtain

a secured borrowing facility on acceptable terms or at all, including the risk that lenders do not accept the investment vehicle interests

as eligible collateral; decline in the value of the investment vehicle interests or the underlying portfolio, including as a result

of credit deterioration, rising interest rates, or illiquidity; uncertainty regarding the accounting treatment of the Transaction; risks

related to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; the non-binding nature of certain provisions of the Term Sheet, including the

right of either party to terminate discussions at any time prior to execution of definitive agreements, with the potential complete loss

of the non-refundable $25.0 million payment to be made by the Company for structuring and other expenses of the Counterparty; delays in

the execution of definitive agreements, completion of due diligence, receipt of required approvals, or satisfaction of closing conditions;

the potential dilutive effect on existing stockholders of the proposed issuance of shares representing more than 50% of the Company’s

current outstanding voting capital stock; risks related to the change of control of the Company that would result from the Transaction;

risks related to the tax treatment of the Transaction; risks related to the Company’s ability to achieve or maintain market leadership

in the tokenization sector; changes in market demand for the Company’s services and products; changes in economic, market, or regulatory

conditions; risks related to evolving regulatory frameworks applicable to tokenized assets; risks associated with technological development

and integration; and other risks and uncertainties as more fully described in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including its

Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and other filings the Company makes from time to time with the SEC, which

are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance

on these and other forward-looking statements contained herein. The forward-looking statements made in this Current Report on Form 8-K

relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking

Datavault

AI Signs $2.0 Billion Structured Financing Term Sheet With Exclusive Global Tokenization Mandate

· Counterparty agrees to route its global digital asset tokenization

and blockchain infrastructure initiatives exclusively through Datavault AI’s patented platform.

· Financing is anchored by an approximately $2.0 billion portfolio

of fixed income securities contributed by an institutional investment fund and a UK-based regulated structured institutional investment

platform.

· The proposed transaction is expected to value Datavault AI shares

at $1.55 to $2.00 per share, subject to definitive agreements and an acceptable independent valuation.

PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 1,

2026 Datavault AI Inc. (“Datavault AI” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:DVLT), a provider of data monetization,

credentialing, digital engagement, and real-world asset (“RWA”) tokenization technologies, today announced the execution on

May 30, 2026 of a non-binding term sheet relating to a potential $2.0 billion dilutive structured financing transaction, pursuant to which

the Company may issue shares at a purchase price of $1.55 to $2.00 per common share to an institutional investment fund and a UK-based

regulated structured institutional investment platform operating across technology, mining, and real assets (together, the “Counterparty”),

in exchange for preferred units in an investment vehicle holding a portfolio of fixed income securities valued at approximately $2.0 billion

(the “fixed income vehicle”). The proposed transaction is intended to provide Datavault AI with a structured pathway to access

secured financing to support the Company’s digital asset exchanges by establishing a collateral base through the Company’s

acquisition of preferred units in the fixed income vehicle.

Strategic Exclusivity

Pursuant to the provisions of the term sheet, the Counterparty

has agreed that all of its digital asset tokenization projects and related blockchain infrastructure initiatives worldwide will be handled

exclusively through Datavault AI’s patented platform, unless otherwise agreed, establishing a long-term operational partnership

alongside the capital commitment.

The proposed transaction described herein is based solely

on a non-binding term sheet. No definitive agreements have been executed, and there can be no assurance that definitive agreements will

be executed or that the proposed transaction will be consummated. The term sheet does not obligate the parties to complete the proposed

transaction and may be terminated by either party at any time, except with respect to certain limited provisions that are binding.

The proposed financing is

structured as an asset-backed transaction rather than a conventional cash placement. The capital base is anchored by an

approximately $2.0 billion portfolio of fixed income securities held through the investment vehicle and contributed by an

institutional investment fund and a UK-based regulated structured institutional investment platform that operates across technology,

mining, and real assets. The Company expects this collateral base, once established, to support a secured borrowing facility

dedicated to funding its digital asset exchange initiatives.

The transaction is anticipated to be structured across

four successive tranches of up to $500 million in value for each tranche, up to $2.0 billion in total, with the initial tranche targeting

completion by the third quarter of 2026. It is currently anticipated that, upon the closing of each tranche, the Counterparty would be

entitled to nominate one additional director, in replacement of a then-seated director on the Datavault AI board of directors, which is

anticipated to remain fixed at nine directors. Upon the closing of the final tranche, the Counterparty would be entitled to nominate an

additional director (in addition to its right to nominate one director in connection with the closing of such tranche), also in replacement

of a then-seated director. Accordingly, as contemplated by the non-binding term sheet, upon the closing of the final tranche, the Counterparty

would gain sufficient voting power to elect a majority of the Datavault AI board of directors.

Pursuant to the term sheet, Datavault AI is obligated to fund

$25.0 million in administrative, operational, and structuring-related costs and expenses for each tranche, and has a binding obligation

to make the first $25.0 million non-refundable payment by wire transfer by June 4, 2026. The source of funds will come from the sale of

bitcoin and receivables.

The proposed transaction remains subject to negotiation

and execution of definitive agreements, completion of due diligence to the satisfaction of the parties, approval by Datavault AI shareholders,

regulatory approvals (including applicable antitrust clearance and confirmation that the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United

States has concluded its review without action by the President of the United States to block or prevent the proposed transaction), and

the fulfillment of customary closing conditions, including a charter amendment to increase the number of authorized shares of capital

stock of Datavault AI and receipt of a fairness opinion regarding the proposed transaction. There can be no assurance that definitive

agreements will be executed or that the proposed transaction will be completed on the terms described herein or at all.

“This is a major milestone

and recognition of Datavault AI’s capabilities. We hold the patents, we have the contracts, and the proposed structured financing

transaction, if completed, would provide the opportunity to scale at the speed this regulated market demands. The tokenized data economy

is not emerging; it is here. Datavault AI is building the compliant token infrastructure that powers it,” said Nathaniel T.

Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI.

Datavault AI’s position in the tokenization economy

rests on more than 100 issued U.S. patents, the foundation that converts capital into defensible market leadership. That portfolio includes

the industry-defining Tokenization Patents, foundational blockchain content licensing, DataValue®, DataScore®, and Data Vault

Bank™, which are AI agents that deliver patented, AI-validated data scoring, valuation, and monetization. At the core of the Company’s

exchange technology now sits NYIAX, an institutional-grade exchange built on the architecture and trading infrastructure of a leading

global financial technology company serving capital markets, anchored in four jointly owned patents granted from 2020 through 2025 (U.S.

Patent Nos. 10,607,291; 11,410,236; 11,861,707; and 12,198,193).

The SanQtum quantum-ready distributed

GPU edge network is live in New York and Philadelphia, operating on a zero-trust architecture that allows greater bandwidth, reliability,

and security at lower cost through local data handling. As reported in the Company’s May 15, 2026, first-quarter 2026 business

update, first-quarter 2026 revenue increased 443% year over year, and the Company continues to maintain a full-year 2026 revenue

target of at least $200 million, representing projected growth of approximately 400% year over year.

Use of Proceeds

The proposed structured financing transaction, if completed,

would support three operational priorities:

· Deployment of the SanQtum quantum-ready distributed GPU edge

network toward approximately 48,000 GPUs across 100 U.S. cities by year-end 2026.

· Acceleration of the Information Data Exchange® (IDE), International

Elements Exchange (IEE), and NYIAX exchange platforms.

· Servicing of existing debt obligations ahead of planned exchange

launches.

The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025 (the “CLARITY

Act”) cleared the Senate Banking Committee on May 14, 2026, in a 15-9 bipartisan vote and has now passed both Senate committees,

awaiting a Senate floor vote before it can proceed to the President. Datavault AI’s exchange platforms are already being planned

to align positively with this new regulatory environment.

A joint April 2025 report

by Boston Consulting Group and Ripple projects the tokenized real- world asset market to reach $18.9 trillion by 2033 ($9.4 trillion

by 2030) at a compound annual growth rate of 53%, per the Ripple and BCG analysis (April 2025). Datavault AI’s Information

Data Exchange® (IDE), International Elements Exchange (IEE), and SanQtum platforms are designed as asset-agnostic infrastructure

for this market, built to process, secure, and monetize tokenized assets across commodities, real estate, intellectual property, biotech,

and government data.

48,000 GPUs targeted for deployment.

projects handled through Datavault AI’s platform.

2030-2033 - Market Leadership

·Datavault
