Aether Holdings Inc. ( (ATHR) ) just unveiled an update.

On August 5, 2026, Aether Holdings Inc., through its subsidiary Aether Compute LLC, signed a stock purchase agreement to acquire 60% of Noviant Inc. for a total consideration valued at $3.6 million, paid in cash and restricted common shares, with customary working-capital adjustments, indemnities and governance protections. The acquisition closed on August 7, 2026, making Noviant a majority-owned subsidiary and installing Aether-controlled board oversight, while locking up the sellers’ stock, assigning key intellectual property to Noviant and binding the founders under employment and restrictive covenant agreements to secure operational continuity.

Also on August 5, 2026, Aether entered into a secured note purchase agreement with Streeterville Capital for a $1.62 million promissory note carrying an 8% interest rate, an original issue discount and extensive covenants, liens and cross-guarantees covering most of the company’s assets and certain subsidiaries. This financing, layered atop an existing Streeterville note and subject to tight restrictions and trigger-event penalties, strengthens Aether’s liquidity to support transactions like the Noviant acquisition but increases leverage and operational constraints, heightening execution risk for shareholders and creditors.
