NAPLES, FL AND SUNNYVALE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / November 12, 2026 / Rain Enhancement Technologies Holdco, Inc. (Nasdaq:RAIN) ("RAIN"), the leading provider of ionization weather modification technology, and Tensor Networks ("Tensor Networks"), a privately held developer of predictive AI technology built around the company's "Safe AI" approach to infrastructure security, today announced that they have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated November 12, 2026, under which Tensor Networks will become a wholly owned subsidiary of RAIN upon closing. The definitive agreement follows the companies' previously announced binding letter of intent. The transaction is expected to close in February 2027, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

Founded in 2019, Tensor Networks develops predictive AI infrastructure technology, including its patent-pending Predictive Tensor Control Plane (PTCP) and Tensor Network Quantum Gravity (TNQG) frameworks. Tensor Networks describes its approach as "Safe AI." PTCP combines predictive workload orchestration with topological caging, an approach designed to isolate AI workloads behind independent hardware boundaries intended to help contain threats and limit data exfiltration or lateral movement across AI infrastructure.

Upon closing, Rain Enhancement Technologies, Inc., an existing wholly owned subsidiary of RAIN and its operating business ("RET"), and Tensor Networks would each operate as a wholly owned operating subsidiary of RAIN, pursuing its own commercial strategy under its own management team. As a result, RAIN will become a multi-technology holding company. Each of the operating companies will leverage shared general and administrative resources.

The transaction also reflects the growing importance of securing the infrastructure that powers artificial intelligence. As AI adoption accelerates across government, defense, and enterprise networks, the systems that route and process AI workloads have become an increasingly attractive target. Tensor Networks says PTCP is designed to work alongside existing enterprise security platforms (SIEM) and to trigger hardware-level safeguards intended to help contain threats and limit lateral movement - an approach the company has developed and tested in part through three U.S. Air Force contracts it has been awarded and delivered against.

Transaction Highlights:

• All-stock transaction, with 100% of Tensor Networks' securities rolling into RAIN.
• Tensor Networks' equity holders expected to own approximately 90% of the fully diluted equity of the combined company, with RAIN's existing shareholders retaining approximately 10%, in each case prior to dilution from the contemplated financing described below.
• All outstanding indebtedness of RAIN and its subsidiaries is to be converted, restructured, or forgiven on mutually agreeable terms prior to or substantially concurrently with closing. In addition, all of RAIN's outstanding Class B common stock is to be converted into Class A common stock before closing.
• RAIN and Tensor Networks will seek equity or equity-related financing to close concurrently with or immediately before the merger. Tensor Networks' obligation to close is subject to RAIN receiving at least $25 million in gross proceeds from the financing and other sources, before transaction expenses and amounts payable or reserved in connection with RAIN's debt restructuring.
• Eric Frazier, Founder and CEO of Tensor Networks, will become Chief Executive Officer of RAIN; Randy Seidl, CEO of RAIN, will become President of RAIN, with both reporting to the combined company's board of directors.
• Harry You is expected to serve as non-executive chairman of a seven-member board, with four directors designated by Tensor Networks, two designated by RAIN and one mutually agreed by the companies.
• RAIN insiders, Tensor Networks insiders, and Tensor Networks employees will be subject to lock-up agreements of 12-18 months following closing.
• The transaction remains subject to shareholder approval in accordance with applicable Nasdaq listing rules, Nasdaq granting RAIN's pending request for continued listing, Nasdaq approval of the combined company's initial listing application, and other customary closing conditions.

Transaction Details and Expected Timing

Under the Merger Agreement, a wholly owned subsidiary of RAIN will merge with and into Tensor Networks, with Tensor Networks surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of RAIN. The boards of directors of both companies have unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and the transaction.

The companies will work together to secure the contemplated financing on mutually acceptable terms. The financing proceeds will be used solely to pay transaction expenses and fund Tensor Networks' growth and working capital, with net proceeds after transaction expenses to be contributed by RAIN to Tensor Networks immediately after receipt. There can be no assurance that the financing will be obtained on acceptable terms or at all.

Completion of the transactions remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, including receipt of the required shareholder approvals; mailing of RAIN's definitive information statement at least 20 calendar days before closing; approval for listing on Nasdaq of the RAIN Class A common stock required to be issued under the Merger Agreement, subject only to official notice of issuance; required regulatory approvals; execution and delivery of the lock-up and voting agreements; filing of the required charter amendment; completion of the RAIN debt restructuring and Class B conversion; satisfaction or waiver of the minimum gross-proceeds condition described above; and a closing condition regarding the separation of the RAIN business. Other conditions include the accuracy of the parties' representations and warranties under the standards specified in the Merger Agreement, material compliance with covenants, absence of a continuing material adverse effect for either party, and Tensor Networks having no outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money.

RAIN intends to obtain its required shareholder approval by written consent and to file an information statement with the SEC. The Merger Agreement contemplates a reverse stock split to the extent applicable and deemed necessary in connection with Nasdaq listing requirements, and charter amendments including a change in RAIN's corporate name and elimination of the Class B common stock, at the effective time or another time agreed in writing by the parties. The final corporate name, any trading-symbol change, and the reverse stock split ratio remain subject to confirmation.

The Merger Agreement also contemplates a registration rights agreement for Tensor Networks stockholders, requiring RAIN to file a resale registration statement for eligible shares within 30 days after closing and use reasonable best efforts to obtain effectiveness within 90 days after closing, or 120 days if reviewed by the SEC, subject to applicable law and SEC requirements.

The Merger Agreement further contemplates a new equity incentive plan, subject to closing and shareholder approval, with an initial reserve equal to 5% of the post-closing fully diluted shares and an annual increase of up to 5%, or a lesser amount determined by the board.

RAIN's continued Nasdaq listing remains subject to satisfaction of the conditions imposed by the Nasdaq Hearings Panel and applicable listing requirements. There can be no assurance that the companies will obtain the necessary listing approvals, that RAIN will regain and maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements, or that the merger will be consummated on the terms or timeframe currently contemplated, or at all.
