Strategic

Platform Agreement

On September 14, 2026,

Paradium. AI., Inc. (“Paradium” or the “Company”) entered into a ten-year Strategic Platform Agreement (the “Platform

Agreement”) with RTB Digital, Inc. (“RTB,” and together with the Company, the “Parties”). The Platform

Agreement will commence upon satisfaction or waiver of its closing conditions, including due diligence completion, RTB’s successful

capital raise as described below, and execution of certain definitive documents, with such closing, absent extension, currently anticipated

in Q4 2026, and has an initial ten-year term.

Under

the Platform Agreement, Paradium’s brands and their associated revenue and traffic will migrate to RTB’s full-stack, AI-powered

digital media and business operations platform (the “Platform”). RTB will deliver Paradium’s non-content functions

through the Platform and services, eliminating related operating overhead and staffing costs for Paradium in exchange for

revenue sharing.

The

Platform Agreement provides for revenue sharing from Paradium partner content at specified percentages based on the defined source of

revenue. Third-party expenses will be borne by the Party sourcing the expense, deducted from top-line revenue or otherwise from the shareable

revenue pool. Each Party will provide sufficient accounting information to the other.

Paradium

will also license and deliver to RTB a current copy of certain Paradium technology assets and related documentation (the “Paradium

Technology”), over which the Parties may modify, adapt, enhance or create derivative works (“Modifications”),

and the Party creating such Modifications will exclusively own all right, title and interest, including related intellectual property

rights associated with those Modifications. Both Parties will have perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free licenses to use and commercialize

the Paradium Technology and the Modifications. Paradium will independently own and control the Paradium Technology but may not

sell, assign or license it to certain direct competitors of Paradium or RTB. RTB may not transfer or license the

Paradium Technology without Paradium’s written consent, except as part of a sale of RTB.

consideration for the license, technology transfer and other consideration under the Platform Agreement, RTB will issue Paradium unregistered

RTB common stock valued at $11.5 million based on certain closing price conditions, including but not limited to Nasdaq minimum pricing

requirements. Paradium has agreed to certain restrictions on sales of these shares.

Purchase

of Minority Interest in Paradium

RTB

entered into an agreement with Simplify Inventions, LLC and MBX Capital Aren, LLC (collectively, “Simplify”) to acquire from

them approximately 49.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Paradium, subject to adjustment to maintain RTB’s

ownership below 50%. The $89,555,638 purchase price consists of (i) RTB’s existing $10 million deposit; (ii) $6 million in RTB

common stock, priced at the 10-day VWAP based on the five trading days before and after public disclosure on Form 8-K, but not below

the Nasdaq closing price or average Nasdaq closing price for the five trading days preceding execution; and (iii) $73,555,638 in cash

at closing amounting to a $3.80 per share purchase price. Simplify will retain approximately 23% of Paradium’s outstanding

common stock. The Company is not party to these transactions. Completion of this share purchase is a condition precedent to the consummation of the Platform Agreement. Completion

of the transactions between RTB and Simplify, as well as the transactions under the Platform Agreement, are also subject to RTB raising

the capital to pay the purchase price for the Simplify shares.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K

contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities

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

relate to future events or future performance and include, without limitation, statements concerning the completion and timing of the

Platform Agreement and equity transactions, the satisfaction of conditions precedent including RTB’s funding requirements, the expected

closing date, the anticipated assumption of operating costs by RTB, the expected revenue-sharing arrangement and its economic terms, the

expected receipt of RTB common stock, the contemplated term of the Platform Agreement, and the expected ownership percentages following

completion of the equity transaction, the Company’s business strategy, future revenues and income from continuing operations, anticipated

yield growth and monetization improvements, cost reductions, debt refinancing efforts, market growth, capital requirements, product introductions

and technological capabilities, additional expansion plans, the Company’s stock price relative to its peers and its share repurchase

program (as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on March

16, 2026 (the “2025 Form 10-K”) and in the Company’s other SEC filings and publicly available documents). Other statements

contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K that are not historical facts are also forward-looking statements. The Company has tried,

wherever possible, to identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “could,”

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

“seeks,” “estimates,” and other stylistic variants denoting forward-looking statements.

The Company cautions investors

that any forward-looking statements presented in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including but not limited to its expectations regarding

the completion of the Platform Agreement and equity transactions on the terms described herein, the anticipated cost savings and revenue-sharing

arrangement, and RTB’s ability to satisfy the applicable funding requirements and closing conditions, or that the Company may make

orally or in writing from time to time, are based on information currently available, as well as its beliefs and assumptions. The actual

outcome related to forward-looking statements will be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties, and factors that are

beyond the Company’s control or ability to predict. Although the Company believes that its assumptions are reasonable, they are

not guarantees of future performance, and some will inevitably prove to be incorrect. As a result, the Company’s actual future results

can be expected to differ from its expectations, and those differences may be material. Factors that could cause actual results to differ

materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the risk that one or more conditions to

closing may not be satisfied or waived, including RTB’s obligation to satisfy certain funding requirements; the risk that the contemplated

transactions may not close on the currently contemplated terms, timeline, or at all; the risk that Nasdaq minimum pricing requirements

may not be met; risks related to the integration of operations under the Platform Agreement; risks associated with RTB acquiring a significant

equity interest in the Company; and the other risks and uncertainties described in Part I, Item 1A of the 2025 Form 10-K. Accordingly,

investors should use caution in relying on forward-looking statements, which are based only on known results and trends at the time they

are made, to anticipate future results or trends. The Company details other risks in its public filings with the SEC, including in Part

I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in the 2025 Form 10-K. The discussion in this Current Report on Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with

the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Part II, Item 8 in the 2025 Form 10-K.

This Current Report on Form 8-K

and all subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or any person acting on its behalf are expressly

qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. The Company does not undertake any

obligation to release publicly any revisions to its forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this

Current Report on Form 8-K except as may be required by law.

agreements, within ninety (90) days of the Effective Date, Arena shall have on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement,

delivered (or cause to have been delivered) to RTB (in a mutually-agreed form and format and pursuant to an agreed upon delivery mechanism,

including as set forth herein), full, perpetual and irrevocable control of a current carbon copy of the Arena Technology, including all

Documentation included therein. In the event a third party causes a delay in the delivery of the Arena Technology past the ninety (90)

such Arena vendor agreements (for sole purpose of supporting Arena) either within or alongside its Platform, then a) RTB and Arena shall

cooperate in good faith with respect to a) transitioning the vendor relationship and agreement from Arena to RTB - both legally and operationally,

and b) Arena shall set RTB as Arena’s limited-purpose Agent with respect to each such vendor to operate each vendor’s services

of the Effective Date, which may be mutually extend by written consent of Arena, RTB shall cause its transfer agent to issue to Arena

the number of shares of RTB’s unregistered common stock, which equals the equivalent to Eleven and One-Half Million Dollars ($11,500,000)

to and the five (5) days after this Agreement is publicly disclosed via Form 8-K by RTB, provided that such price per share shall not

be lower than the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (NOCP) or the average NOCP for the five trading days prior to signing this Agreement.

Upon

receipt of the common stock, Arena (along with its affiliates and entities directly or indirectly controlled by Arena) agrees that (a)

it will not sell more than 10% of the total daily trading volume of the common stock on any calendar date, (b) it will not sell any common

stock within the first thirty (30) minutes of market opening or the last thirty (30) minutes prior to market closing, and (c) it will

not effect any short sale of the common stock, enter into any hedging, short derivative or similar transaction in the common stock, or

engage in any manipulation of the price of the common stock, and (d) prior to selling any common stock, it will first offer RTB the right

to purchase such common stock at a price to be agreed by the Parties, but in no event greater than the 5-day VWAP as of the date such

Roundtable Strategic Platform Agreement - page 3

Direct

payment of any expenses by RTB will arise on the terms and schedules as set in each such current agreement, and RTB represents and warrants

that it will make such payments in full in a timely and compliant manner. Reimbursed payment shall follow the procedures listed in the

Expense Payment Schedule Exhibit and Additional Terms Exhibit. RTB acknowledges and agrees that RTB will fully cover any needs/changes

in Arena facilities, sales & marketing, marketing technology, and technology costs, provided that any such increase in Employee/Payroll

Expenses shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the prior year’s amount without RTB’s written consent. Notwithstanding the

foregoing, (a) pass-through increases in variable and fixed vendor costs as implemented by any such vendor, (b) increases in variable

costs directly associated with a growth in Arena’s business, shall not be capped at a yearly percentage increase. Arena acknowledges

and agrees that it will not materially modify or add services to their vendor agreements, absent normal annual increases, without mutual

agreement between the Parties (and in the event of dispute or urgent needs in advance of such mutual agreement, the dispute resolution

procedures will be used, but Arena is not prohibited from addresses the identified urgent need in the interim).

3. PLATFORM

SERVICES, ACCESS & MIGRATION.

3.1 Use

Terms. RTB shall provide access to the Platform and the Services, subject to the terms of this Agreement. Except as expressly provided

otherwise in this Agreement, this Agreement is subject to the Platform Use Terms (“Platform Use Terms”), explicitly incorporated

herein as the Platform Use Terms Exhibit. For the avoidance of doubt, these Platform Use Terms may only be changed pursuant to a mutually

executed amendment to this Agreement by the Parties. All capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement have the meaning outlined in

the Platform Use Terms.

3.2 The

Platform. RTB will, at its own full cost and expense, build, host, maintain, operate, and administer the Platform and Services

(as defined herein). Operation and performance of the Platform and Services will at all times meet material parity on key functions

and design and the minimum standards and levels as described herein to this Agreement, including but not limited to all structural,

design, data, payments, and technological matters with respect to the Platform and Services, including, without limitation, the list

of features and responsibilities described in the Platform Features Exhibit hereto. Costs and expenses related to RTB’s i)

migration and onboarding of Assets and ii) customizations to the Platform and/or Services pursuant to this Agreement, shall be borne

entirely by RTB.

3.3 Access

to Services and Coalition Benefits.

(a). Access;

Service Level. RTB shall make the Platform and Services available for use by Partner pursuant to secure login in accordance with

the Service Level Agreement, set forth as the Service Level Agreement Exhibit. Partner shall provide RTB with read-access login to the

Partner’s Google Analytics account or other primary analytics-measuring tool used for the Domains.

(b). Ads.txt

and Traffic Assignment. Partner grants RTB, for so long as each specific item of the Assets is successfully hosted on the Platform

(i) control of ads.txt, if and when appropriate and applicable (based on mutual assessment of the advertising operations, systems, and

advertising accounts/agreements), with respect to the Domains and (ii) by mutual agreement, the right to include the Domains in the Coalition

in a consolidated listing assembled by third-party measurement companies such as comScore, Nielsen and/or other similar services selected

by RTB. RTB will bear all costs and expenses, as may be related to such Domain listing and/or traffic assignment. For the avoidance of

doubt, Arena’s existing seats, agreements, and licenses will be maintained – including for potential use with respect to

Domains on the Platform -- until such time as proper and functional RTB substitutes can be deployed, and the Parties mutually agree to

such in writing (by authorized personnel of each Party) and the associated expenses will be deemed to accrue to and be covered by RTB.

Subject to the foregoing clauses of this section, as appropriate given each proposed action (approval not to be unreasonably withheld),

Arena will promptly execute industry standard documents required to effect this section (provided that such documents contain no ancillary

terms or potentially harmful clauses to Arena and that Arena is treated no worse than any other third-party entities in the Coalition).

Roundtable Strategic Platform Agreement - page 4

3.4 Launch

and Coalition Participation.

Launch;

Launch Date. Following the Effective Date, RTB and Partner shall cooperate to jointly create and develop a plan for Migration of

Domains to the RTB Platform, including creative and design. RTB shall be responsible for its own engineering work and expenses related

to Migration (including customizations and enhancements it makes to the Platform to support the Arena Migration effort). Partner will

provide RTB with all necessary rights and access reasonably required for the Migration, as set forth on the Migration Exhibit. Migration

of Domains will be done consistent with the then-current design and feature set capabilities of the Platform and other requirements defined

in the aforementioned plan. Upon acceptance of each new website by RTB and Partner, the new website shall be made publicly available

on the Platform (the “Domain Launch,” and the date of Launch, the “Domain Launch Date”). Only upon Domain Launch

Date will the revenues generated through the Platform that are attributable to any migrated Domain be considered as Revenue under this

Agreement.

3.5 Ownership.

As between the Parties, (i) Partner and its subsidiaries or affiliates owns and retains all right, title, and interest in and to the

Assets, intellectual property, versions of technology as of the date such technology is shared with RTB, Arena Content, Third Party Content

that was provided to Arena on a work-for hire (or similar) basis, Domains, Asset Data collected by Partner, and Partner trademarks and

branding, (ii) Third Party Publishers owns and retains all right, title, and interest in and to the Third Party Content (except as such

was provided to Arena on a work-for-hire or similar basis), and (iii) RTB and its Affiliates own and retain all right, title, and interest

in and to the Platform, Services, Asset Data collected by RTB, RTB and its licensors’ trademarks and branding and all software

and technology RTB uses to provide and operate the Platform and Services; provided, however, that i) Arena-provided technology into the

RTB Platform shall be considered jointly yet independently owned (such that each Party may further use at its discretion), and ii) if

there is joint development under an Employee Sharing Agreement or otherwise (for purposes of example only, integration specs and APIs,

reporting systems and interfaces, etc.) then the Parties acknowledge and agree that it is the intent for both Parties to be able to fully

and independently use such work (whether for performance under this Agreement or other purposes), and if a specific Party is deemed “owner”

of such work, including the Modifications, it grants to the other Party a royalty free, perpetual, and irrevocable license to use such

work in any manner that it deems appropriate. Asset Data collected by RTB shall be provided to Arena, and the Parties will be considered

joint controllers of such data (with Arena as an intended co-owner), and Arena is permitted to independently use such data in its discretion.

Partner maintains and will at all times during the Term maintain ownership of and all renewal obligations for the domain names associated

with the Domains. Each Party reserves all other rights not expressly granted herein.

Roundtable Strategic Platform Agreement - page 5

3.6 New

Third-Party Domains. During the Term, Arena agrees that for new third-party top-level domains (excluding those under Arena affiliates

and/or acquired by Arena or its affiliates via acquisitions) that are not currently partnered with either Party, Arena will not compete

with RTB with respect to such hosted domain opportunities.

3.7 Prior

to commencing any Migration of media content to the Platform, RTB shall have at least $7,000,000 of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents.

Following commencement of the Migration, RTB’s audited yearly and auditor-reviewed quarterly financial statements shall not contain

any going-concern qualification indicating substantial doubt regarding RTB’s ability to continue as a going concern; provided,

however, that any failure to satisfy the foregoing covenant shall be deemed cured and shall not constitute a default if RTB’s financial

statements for the subsequent fiscal quarter, as audited or reviewed as applicable, do not contain any such going-concern qualification.

4. Sale

/ License / Cessation / Removal Of Assets Or Domains By Arena. Arena’s management team may, in its sole discretion and at any

time, i) sell, ii) license (for example, for a third party to take over an Arena brand or property), or iii) cease publication of any

of its brands and/or Domains, or additionally iv) de-platform and/or lose operational license to a third-party website, so long as Arena

complies with either (a)-(d) or (e) as set forth below:

(a).

In the event of a sale, the sold publishing portion of that Domain, brand and/or Asset must remain on or promptly be migrated to,

as applicable, the RTB Platform after any such sale, under the same revenue share obligations outlined herein between buyer and RTB for

the remaining duration of the then-current Term as set forth in Section 5.1 below;

(b).

Any Asset sold or licensed, the net proceeds shall be used to pay down the then-existing debt;

(c).

Any Asset or Domain shall not be sold for under 5X trailing twelve (12) months gross revenue;

(d).

No Asset or Domain shall be sold to Authentic Brands Group, Minute Media, or their respective Affiliates, without written consent

of RTB. This list may be updated from time to time by written consent of the parties, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; or

(e).

Via a properly noticed Proxy Vote, whereby a majority (over 50%) of the then-outstanding shares are entitled to vote cast in favor

of a sale of certain Assets, Domains and/or brands under the terms set forth by management of the Company and the Arena Board of Directors.

Notwithstanding

the foregoing, (i) prior to de-platforming and/or losing operational license to a third-party website, Arena shall offer to transfer

its rights to such operational licenses to RTB, subject to the third-party’s written approval, which RTB may accept or reject in

its sole discretion, and (ii) prior to ceasing publication of any of its brands and/or Domains, Arena shall consult in good faith with

RTB to explore alternative uses of such brands and/or Domains.

Termination for Breach. If a Party materially breaches this Agreement or any side letter referenced herein, and such breach causes

material harm to the non-breaching Party, and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of breach from the

non-breaching Party, then the non-breaching Party may terminate this Agreement on written notice to the breaching Party, provided that,

except in the instance of a breach for non-payment, in the event RTB disagrees with a breach claimed by Arena, RTB agrees to fund an

Arena-chosen, technically qualified, and non-conflicted consultant to act as an arbitrator. Such arbitration for breach shall be completed

within thirty (30) days but no later than sixty (60) days from the receipt of notice of breach. The Parties agree that they will timely

respond to matters necessary to participate and complete the arbitration within the timeline stated herein. Breaches for non-payment

shall not be subject to the arbitrator provisions as stated herein;

(b). Termination

for Uncurable Breach. If a Party materially breaches this Agreement or any side letter referenced herein, where such breach by its

nature cannot be cured, then the Parties shall enter into a fifteen (15) day negotiating period upon notice of breach from the non-breaching

Party, whereby the Parties may (but are not obligated to) agree to a wind-down process at the non-breaching party’s option or settle

on an alternative remedy; after such fifteen (15) day period has expired, if no alternate disposition of the breach has been agreed to

by executed memorandum by authorized personnel of each Party, the non-breaching Party may terminate the Agreement on written notice to

the breaching Party;. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event RTB disagrees with a breach, except in the instance of a breach for

non-payment, claimed by Arena, RTB agrees to fund an Arena-chosen, technically qualified, and non-conflicted consultant to act as an

arbitrator. Such arbitration for breach shall be completed within thirty (30) days but no later than sixty (60) days from the receipt

of notice of breach. The Parties agree that they will timely respond to matters necessary to participate and complete the arbitration

within the timeline stated herein. Breaches for non-payment shall not be subject to the arbitrator provisions as stated herein;

(c). Termination

for Impairment. If a Party is subject to any form of impairment (defined as follows), the other Party may terminate the Agreement

on written notice to the impaired Party; impairment means (i) a petition is filed, or any case, proceeding or other action is commenced

against a Party seeking to have an order for relief entered against it as debtor, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment,

liquidation, dissolution, or composition of its debts or other relief under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement,

reorganization, receivership, or other debtor relief under the laws of the United States or any state or other competent jurisdiction

and such proceeding is not dismissed within ninety (90) days after the commencement thereof; or (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction

enters an order for relief against a Party as debtor, or an order, judgment or decree is entered appointing, with or without the consent

or contest of a Party, a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it, or for all or any part of its assets or properties,

and such petition, case, proceeding, action, order, judgment or decree is not be dismissed within ninety (90) days after being commenced;

Roundtable Strategic Platform Agreement - page 7

(d). Termination

for Cause. If a Party engages in conduct that a court of competent jurisdiction determines is illegal or fraudulent that is demonstrably

and materially injurious to the other Party, or an officer or director of a Party is convicted of, or enters a plea of guilty or nolo

contendre to a felony involving fraud that is demonstrably and materially injurious to the rights or reasonable public perception of

the other Party under this Agreement, then the other Party may terminate the Agreement on written notice;

(e). Termination

for Corporate Reasons. The mutual intent of the Parties is to execute a side letter describing certain corporate actions (which actions

may be either a certain condition precedent to the Effective Date and/or a future obligation of a Party); in the event a Party does not

fulfill any of its obligations as may be listed in such executed side letter within the required time frame, then the other Party may

terminate this Agreement on written notice.

5.4 Effect

of Termination. See Platform Use Terms

5.5 Asset

Removal From Platform. Arena may reassert platform control for any Domain upon RTB’s uncured or uncurable breach of the Agreement,

provided that, before any such removal, in the event RTB disagrees with a breach claimed by Arena, RTB agrees to fund an Arena-chosen,

technically qualified, and non-conflicted consultant to act as an arbitrator. Such arbitration shall be completed within thirty (30)

days but no later than sixty (60) days from the receipt of notice of breach. The Parties agree that they will timely respond to matters

necessary to participate and complete the arbitration within the timeline stated herein
