\n NEW YORK<\/span>
\n <\/span>, Aug. 7, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — IQSTEL Inc. (NASDAQ: IQST) (“IQSTEL”) and Cycurion Inc. (NASDAQ: CYCU) (“Cycurion”) today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to become mutual equity partners following a planned $1 million<\/span> stock exchange, with half of each company’s exchanged shares to be distributed as a dividend to enhance shareholder value. This milestone marks a significant step in the two companies’ collaboration and sets the stage for creating a powerhouse in AI\u2011driven cybersecurity for the global telecommunications industry.<\/p>\n

This transaction is designed to unlock shareholder value, while being strategically timed for both companies as the products and services of IQSTEL and Cycurion are largely insulated from potential disruptions caused by changes in U.S. tariffs and their economic consequences.<\/p>\n

The agreement also strengthens the companies’ alliance by integrating complementary market strengths and uniting both organizations’ AI\u2011focused Research and Development departments with a shared mission: to deliver next\u2011generation cybersecurity solutions tailored for telecom industry, government institutions, and enterprise clients worldwide.<\/p>\n

\n The Stock Exchange \u2013 Foundation for a Mutual Equity Partnership<\/b>\n <\/p>\n

Under the MOU, each company will issue $1 million<\/span> worth of its common stock to the other.<\/p>\n

The number of shares will be based on the lower of:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The\u00a0Nasdaq Official Closing Price on the trading day immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement; and\n<\/li>\n
  2. The average\u00a0Nasdaq Official Closing Price over the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Subject to board and regulatory approvals, each company intends to distribute up to 50% of the shares it receives to its existing shareholders as a stock dividend<\/b> \u2014transforming IQSTEL shareholders into Cycurion shareholders, and vice versa.<\/p>\n

    This transaction is designed to unlock shareholder value<\/b> by creating a mutual equity structure that both companies view as a “sibling company” relationship, ensuring each directly benefits from the other’s success. Importantly, both IQST and CYCU are actively traded stocks with weekly liquidity in the millions of U.S. dollars, which is believed to be highly advantageous for the combined ~30,000 shareholders across both companies.<\/p>\n

    In addition, the stock swap opens the door for powerful cross\u2011selling opportunities<\/b>: IQSTEL will be able to introduce its Telecom, Fintech<\/span><\/span>, and AI\u2011driven services to Cycurion’s established customer base, while Cycurion will gain access to offer its advanced cybersecurity solutions to some of the largest telecom operators in the world through IQSTEL’s extensive global network.<\/p>\n

    \n One Unified AI R&D Mission<\/b>\n <\/p>\n

    Both IQSTEL and Cycurion operate advanced AI research and development teams, each with complementary expertise that makes this collaboration particularly powerful.<\/p>\n

    IQSTEL has been developing proprietary AI services through its in\u2011house IQSTEL Intelligence division (www.realityborder.com<\/a><\/b>), launching two proprietary products: www.Airweb.ai<\/a><\/b>\u00a0\u2014 a multilingual AI web\/phone\/messaging agent \u2014 and www.IQ2Call.ai<\/a><\/b>\u00a0\u2014 an AI\u2011powered call center agent. Most recently, IQSTEL Intelligence was engaged by ONAR<\/a>\u00a0to develop a full suite of AI\u2011driven sales support tools designed to streamline and enhance ONAR’s daily sales operations.<\/p>\n

    Meanwhile, Cycurion has been working to deliver the next generation of AI\u2011based cybersecurity services, aimed at protecting telecom networks, government infrastructure, and enterprise systems.<\/p>\n
