REOFFER PROSPECTUS

193,360,650 CLASS B ORDINARY SHARES

This reoffer prospectus relates to an aggregate of up to 193,360,650 Class B ordinary shares, US$ 0.00001 par value per share (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”), of Trident Digital Tech Holdings Ltd, a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability (the “Company”), that may be reoffered or resold from time to time by employees, directors and consultants of the Company (collectively, the “Selling Shareholders”). The Class B Ordinary Shares were issued in connection with the share awards previously granted to the Selling Shareholders pursuant to the Company’s 2023 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “2023 Equity Incentive Plan”). The Class B Ordinary Shares are represented by American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) and are expected to be re-offered and resold in the form of ADSs. Each ADS represents the right to receive eight (8) Class B Ordinary Shares, par value US$0.00001 per share.

The Selling Shareholders may sell the Class B Ordinary Shares in the form of ADSs covered by this reoffer prospectus from time to time through various means, including directly or indirectly to purchasers, in one or more transactions on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) on which the ADSs are traded at the time of sale, in privately negotiated transactions, or through a combination of these methods. These sales may be at fixed prices, which may change, at market prices available at the time of sale, at prices based on the available market price at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. If the Class B Ordinary Shares in the form of ADSs are sold through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, these parties may be compensated for their services in the form of discounts or commissions, which may be deemed to be “underwriting commissions.” If required, the names of any underwriter(s), applicable commissions or discounts, and any other required information with respect to any particular sales will be disclosed in an accompanying prospectus supplement.

The Company’s ADSs are listed on NASDAQ under the symbol “TDTH”. On February 12, 2026, the last reported sale price of our ADSs on NASDAQ was US$0.23.

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Class B Ordinary Shares in the form of ADSs by the Selling Shareholders. While we will pay the expenses of registering the Class B Ordinary Shares, the Selling Shareholders will bear all sales commissions and similar expenses.

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.

Investing in ADSs involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully review the risks and uncertainties referenced under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in this reoffer prospectus beginning on page 5, and under similar headings in the other documents that are incorporated by reference into this reoffer prospectus.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this reoffer prospectus is February 13, 2026

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This reoffer prospectus, including the documents that we incorporate by reference, contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this reoffer prospectus, including any statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “aims,” “might,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “is/are likely to,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “seek,” “would” or “continue,” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements include, but are not necessarily limited to, those relating to:

We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or are beyond our control, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Some of the key factors that could cause actual results to differ from our expectations include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties associated with the effect of changing economic and geopolitical conditions, supply chain constraints, inflationary pressures, and the effects of foreign currency fluctuations, trends in the products markets, variations in the Company’s cash flow, market acceptance risks, and technical development risks. Other factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in this reoffer prospectus and in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F and any subsequent Current Reports on Form 6-K, as well as in our subsequent filings with the SEC, which are incorporated by reference into this reoffer prospectus.

Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States and the rules and regulations of the SEC, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information or future events or developments.  New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all of such factors or to assess the effect of each factor on our business. You are advised to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in the reports we file with the SEC.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our ADSs involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risk factors incorporated by reference to our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F and any subsequent Current Reports on Form 6-K, and all other information contained or incorporated by reference into this reoffer prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act. There may be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that could have material adverse effects on our future results. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow could be seriously harmed. This could cause the trading price of our ADSs to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. Please also carefully read the section titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this reoffer prospectus.

Sale of ADSs by the Selling Shareholders, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the price of our ADSs.

Sales of substantial amounts of our ADSs in the public market by the Selling Shareholders, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our ADSs and could materially impair our ability to raise capital through equity offerings in the future. We cannot predict what effect, if any, market sales of securities held by our significant shareholders or any other shareholder or the availability of these securities for future sale will have on the market price of our ADSs.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The Class B Ordinary Shares offered by the Selling Shareholders in ADS form pursuant to this reoffer prospectus will be sold by the Selling Shareholders for their respective accounts. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the ADSs offered through this reoffer prospectus by the Selling Shareholders.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

This reoffer prospectus relates to the possible resale by the Selling Shareholders from time to time of up to an aggregate of 193,360,650 Class B Ordinary Shares in the form of ADSs issued in connection with the share awards previously granted to the Selling Shareholders pursuant to the Company’s 2023 Equity Incentive Plan.

The following table sets forth, as of February 12, 2026 (the “Determination Date”): (i) the name of each Selling Shareholder; (ii) the number and percentage of our Class B Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by each Selling Shareholder; (iii) the number of Class B Ordinary Shares that may be offered under this reoffer prospectus by each Selling Shareholder; and (iv) the number and percentage of our Class B Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by each Selling Shareholder assuming all of the Class B Ordinary Shares offered under this reoffer prospectus are sold in the form of ADSs. There is no assurance as to whether the Selling Shareholders will in fact sell any or all of their Class B Ordinary Shares in the form of ADSs offered under this reoffer prospectus. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 thereunder.

Unless otherwise indicated, to our knowledge, the Selling Shareholders have sole voting and sole investment control with respect to all Class B Ordinary Shares beneficially owned. Furthermore, unless otherwise indicated, the business address of each Selling Shareholder is c/o Trident Digital Tech Holdings Ltd, Suntec Tower 3, 8 Temasek Boulevard Road, #24-03, Singapore, 038988.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Selling Shareholders may sell the Class B Ordinary Shares in the form of ADSs covered by this reoffer prospectus from time to time in one or more offerings. Registration of the Class B Ordinary Shares covered by this reoffer prospectus does not mean, however, that those securities will necessarily be offered or sold.

We will pay all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration of the Class B Ordinary Shares, and the Selling Shareholders will pay any brokerage or underwriting commissions or discounts or other expenses relating to the sale of the Class B Ordinary Shares. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Class B Ordinary Shares offered by this reoffer prospectus.

The Selling Shareholders may sell the securities separately or together:

The Selling Shareholders may sell the securities from time to time:

If required at the time of the offering of the Class B Ordinary Shares, a prospectus supplement will be distributed which will describe the method of distribution of the securities and the terms of the offering.

If underwriters are used in the sale of any securities, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions described above. The securities may be either offered to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters, or directly by underwriters. Generally, the underwriters’ obligations to purchase the securities will be subject to conditions precedent and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities if they purchase any of the securities. The prospectus supplement will name any underwriter used in the offering.

The Selling Shareholders may sell the securities offered through this reoffer prospectus directly. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved. Such securities may also be sold through agents designated from time to time. The prospectus supplement will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the offered securities and will describe any commissions payable to the agent. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any agent will agree to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of its appointment.

The Selling Shareholders may sell the securities directly to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act, with respect to any sale of those securities. The terms of any such sales will be described in the prospectus supplement.

The Selling Shareholders may authorize underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain purchasers to purchase the securities from them at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus supplement will set forth any commissions to be paid for solicitation of these contracts.

Underwriters, dealers and agents may be entitled to indemnification by the Selling Shareholders against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments made by the underwriters, dealers or agents, under agreements between the Selling Shareholders and the underwriters, dealers and agents.

The Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the Class B Ordinary Shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profits realized by the Selling Shareholders, and commissions paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to any broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. In addition, any Class B Ordinary Shares covered by this reoffer prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this reoffer prospectus.

Any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

The Selling Shareholders and any other person participating in the sale of the Class B Ordinary Shares will be subject to the Exchange Act. The Exchange Act rules include, without limitation, Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the Class B Ordinary Shares by the Selling Shareholders and any other person. In addition, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the Class B Ordinary Shares to engage in market-making activities with respect to the particular securities being distributed. This may affect the marketability of the Class B Ordinary Shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Class B Ordinary Shares.

We have notified the Selling Shareholders of the need to deliver a copy of this reoffer prospectus in connection with any sale of the Class B Ordinary Shares.

PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3.    Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

The following documents filed by the Company with the SEC are incorporated by reference into this registration statement and are deemed to be a part hereof from the date of filing:

All documents filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (other than Current Reports on Form 6-K furnished under Item 2.02 or Item 7.01 of Form 6-K and exhibits furnished on such form that relate to such items), subsequent to the filing of this registration statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this registration statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing such documents, except as to specific sections of such documents as set forth therein. Any statement contained in this registration statement or a previously filed document incorporated by reference will be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this registration statement to the extent that a statement contained in this registration statement or a subsequently filed document incorporated by reference modifies or replaces that statement.

Item 4.    Description of Securities.

Not applicable.

Item 5.    Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Not applicable.

Item 6.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences or committing a crime. The Company’s Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provide for indemnification of directors and officers against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by such directors and officers, other than by reason of such directors and officers’ own dishonesty, willful default or fraud, in or about the conduct of the Company’s business or affairs (including as a result of any mistake of judgment) or in the execution or discharge of his or her duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by such directors and officers in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning the Company or its affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere.

Pursuant to the indemnification agreements, the form of which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s registration statement on Form F-1, as amended (File No. 333- 274857), the Company has agreed to indemnify its directors and officers against, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all expenses and liabilities actually and reasonably incurred by reason of such director’s or officer’s corporate status.

Pursuant to the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company has agreed to indemnify its plan administrator members (and/or its delegates) against certain liabilities and expenses incurred by such persons in connection with the operation, administration or interpretation of the plan.

The Company’s Policy for the Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation prohibits indemnification for compensation subject to recovery under the policy.

The form of underwriting agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Company’s registration statement on Form F-1, as amended (File No. 333- 274857) also provides for indemnification of the Company and the Company’s officers and directors.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to the Company’s directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 7.    Exemption From Registration Claimed.

Not applicable.

Item 8. Exhibits.

Item 9. Undertakings.

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
