Determination of Signing XRP Price
As previously disclosed, on October 19, 2025, Evernorth Holdings Inc. (“Pubco”), Pathfinder Digital Assets LLC (the “Company”) and Armada Acquisition Corp. II (“SPAC”) entered into (i) advance funding subscription agreements with certain institutional investors and individual accredited investors (the “Advance Funding Subscription Agreements”), pursuant to which such investors agreed to purchase, and Pubco agreed to issue and sell, on the Closing Date, shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock for an aggregate of $214.05 million in cash and a contribution of 600,000 XRP tokens, (ii) a Series C Subscription Agreement with Arrington XRP Capital Fund, LP (the “Sponsor” and such agreement, the “Series C Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to purchase, and Pubco agreed to issue and sell, on the Closing Date, shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock and Pubco Class C Common Stock for a contribution of 211,319,096.061435 XRP tokens, and (iii) a subscription agreement with an affiliate of Ripple (the “Ripple Group Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which such investor agreed to purchase, and Pubco agreed to issue and sell, on the Closing Date, shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock and Company Units for an aggregate contribution of 50 million XRP tokens, in each case in a private placement upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable agreements. Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Ripple, the Company and Pubco also entered into a contribution agreement (the “Contribution Agreement” and, together with the Advance Funding Subscription Agreements, the Series C Subscription Agreement and the Ripple Group Subscription Agreement, the “Signing XRP Agreements”), pursuant to which Ripple will contribute 126,791,458 XRP tokens to the Company in exchange for Company Units, which will be automatically cancelled and exchanged for shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis at the Closing, subject to certain limitations described therein.
Pubco, the Company and SPAC today announced that the Signing XRP Price under each of the Signing XRP Agreements, which was calculated as the volume-weighted average price of XRP denominated in USD as quoted on the “CME CF XRP-Dollar Reference Rate - New York Variant” benchmark (with the reference ticker XRPUSD_NY) at 4:00 p.m. New York City time on the day immediately preceding the date on which the Business Combination Agreement was signed, has been determined to be $2.36609.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in each of the Signing XRP Agreements, as applicable.
Purchase of XRP by Pubco
On November 4, 2025, SPAC and Pubco issued a joint press release announcing the purchase by Pubco of 84,365,876.3625 XRP using the aggregate cash proceeds from the Advance Funding Subscription Agreements at an average price of $2.53657058 per XRP. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference into this item 7.01.
The information furnished pursuant to 7.01 (including Exhibit 99.1) on this Form 8-K, 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 it be deemed incorporated by reference into any other filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Additional Information and Where to Find It
SPAC and Pubco intend to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (as may be amended, the “Registration Statement”), which will include a preliminary proxy statement of SPAC and a prospectus of Pubco (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) in connection with the Business Combination, the private placements of securities in connection with the Business Combination (the “Private Placement Transactions”) and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and/or as described in this Current Report on Form 8-K (together with the Business Combination and the Private Placement Transactions, the “Proposed Transactions”). The definitive proxy statement and other relevant documents will be mailed to shareholders of SPAC as of the record date to be established for voting on the Business
Combination and other matters as described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. SPAC and/or Pubco will also file other documents regarding the Proposed Transactions with the SEC. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not contain all of the information that should be considered concerning the Proposed Transactions and is not intended to form the basis of any investment decision or any other decision in respect of the Proposed Transactions. BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING OR INVESTMENT DECISION, SHAREHOLDERS OF SPAC AND OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES ARE URGED TO READ, WHEN AVAILABLE, THE PRELIMINARY PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS, AND AMENDMENTS THERETO, AND THE DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND ALL OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED OR THAT WILL BE FILED WITH THE SEC IN CONNECTION WITH SPAC’S SOLICITATION OF PROXIES FOR THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF ITS SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD TO APPROVE THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER MATTERS AS DESCRIBED IN THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS BECAUSE THESE DOCUMENTS WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT SPAC, COMPANY, PUBCO AND THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS. Investors and security holders will also be able to obtain copies of the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and all other documents filed or TO be filed with the SEC by SPAC and Pubco, without charge, once available, on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to: Armada Acquisition Corp. II, 382 NE 191st St., Suite 52895, Miami, Florida 33179-3899; email: [email protected], or to: Evernorth Holdings Inc., 600 Battery St., San Francisco, California 94111, email: [email protected].
NEITHER THE SEC NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES REGULATORY AGENCY HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED HEREIN, PASSED UPON THE MERITS OR FAIRNESS OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTIONS OR PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THE DISCLOSURE IN THIS REPORT. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY CONSTITUTES A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
The securities to be issued by Pubco and the units to be issued by the Company, in each case, in connection with the Proposed Transactions, have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

A list of the names of such directors and executive officers, and information regarding their interests in the Business Combination and their ownership of SPAC’s securities is, or will be, contained in SPAC’s filings with the SEC. Additional information regarding the interests of the persons who may, under SEC rules, be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies from SPAC’s shareholders in connection with the Business Combination, including the names and interests of Company and Pubco’s directors and executive officers, will be set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, which is expected to be filed by SPAC and Pubco with the SEC. Investors and security holders may obtain free copies of these documents as described above.

These forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations and assumptions of SPAC and Pubco and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could delay or prevent the consummation of the proposed Business Combination; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against SPAC, Pubco, the combined company, or others following the announcement of the Proposed Transactions; (3) the inability to complete the Business Combination due to failure to obtain shareholder approval or satisfy other closing conditions; (4) the inability to complete the Private Placement Transactions, (5) changes to the structure, timing, or terms of the Proposed Transactions; (6) the ability of the combined company to meet applicable listing standards or to maintain the listing of its securities following the closing of the Business Combination; (7) the risk that the announcement and consummation of the transaction disrupts current plans and operations; (8) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, including the ability to build and manage an institutional XRP treasury, execute DeFi yield strategies, and drive institutional adoption of XRP; (9) changes in market, regulatory, political, and economic conditions affecting digital assets generally or XRP specifically; (10) the costs related to the Proposed Transactions and those arising as a result of becoming a public company; (11) the level of redemptions of SPAC’s public shareholders which may reduce the public float of, reduce the liquidity of the trading market of, and/or maintain the quotation, listing, or trading of securities of SPAC or of Pubco; (12) the volatility of the price of XRP and other digital assets, the correlation between XRP’s price and the value of Pubco’s securities, and the risk that the price of XRP may decrease between the signing of the definitive documents for the Proposed Transactions and the closing of the Proposed Transactions or at any time after the closing of the Proposed Transactions; (13) risks related to increased competition in the industries in which Pubco will operate; (14) risks related to changes in U.S. or foreign laws and regulations applicable to digital assets or securities; (15) the possibility that the combined company may be adversely affected by competitive factors, investor sentiment, or other macroeconomic conditions; (16) the risk of being considered to be a “shell company” by any stock exchange on which the Pubco securities will be listed or by the SEC, which may impact the ability to list Pubco’s securities and restrict reliance on certain rules or forms in connection with the offering, sale or resale of securities; (17) the outcome of any potential legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company, SPAC, Pubco or others following announcement of the Business Combination; and (18) other risks detailed from time to time in SPAC’s filings with the SEC, including the Registration Statement and related documents filed or to be filed in connection with the Business Combination.
