SEATTLE , July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Spectral Capital Corporation (OTC: FCCN) today announced that it has entered into a binding agreement to acquire 100% of the equity of 42 Telecom Ltd. ("Forty Two"), a Maltese-based telecommunications infrastructure provider with global operations. The transaction, governed by a definitive share exchange agreement expected to close shortly, reflects Spectral's strategic expansion into high-growth enterprise messaging, AI-enhanced fraud prevention, and quantum-integrated blockchain technology.

Forty Two is recognized as one of the world's leading providers of international messaging infrastructure and is a leading foreign provider of SMS traffic into Vietnam for a decade, with billions of messages delivered. The company has built a robust global platform that integrates blockchain technology and proprietary fraud prevention tools into messaging workflows. Recently, Forty Two launched a high-margin enterprise messaging suite designed to accelerate its already rapid growth.

Under the terms of the agreement, Spectral will issue 8,000,000 shares of its common stock to Heritage Ventures Ltd., the sole shareholder of Forty Two. An additional 8,000,000 shares will be placed in escrow to support earnout and valuation protection provisions tied to Forty Two's 2025 and 2026 financial performance, for which the term sheet guarantees revenues of $15,000,000 in 2025.

"This acquisition gives Spectral access to one of the most advanced messaging infrastructures in the world, with unique penetration into Southeast Asian markets and a growing base of enterprise clients," said Jenifer Osterwalder, CEO of Spectral Capital Corporation. "Combined with Spectral's patent-pending technologies in compression, fraud prevention, and verticalized data mining, we believe Forty Two's migration to our Distributed Quantum Ledger architecture will unlock tremendous global value."

Forty Two's proprietary messaging gateway and compliance tools offer differentiated capabilities for customers seeking security, scalability, and integration with blockchain and AI-enhanced environments. The combined company will target enterprise messaging use cases in healthcare, finance, and government sectors.

"Joining Spectral gives us access to technological acceleration to scale our roadmap much faster," said Glen Warren, General Manager of 42 Ltd., "We believe Spectral's AI and quantum technologies can dramatically amplify the reach and intelligence of our core platform. We're particularly excited about the ability to embed Spectral's compression and fraud detection engines directly into our transactional messaging backbone."

The acquisition is expected to add dozens of patentable inventions to Spectral's growing intellectual property portfolio. These inventions, developed internally by Forty Two, include next-generation fraud detection, real-time compliance logic, and blockchain-integrated messaging verification frameworks.

The transaction remains subject to the execution of a definitive agreement and customary closing conditions, including required regulatory and board approvals. Upon closing, Forty Two will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Spectral Capital Corporation.
