AI Financial Corp 8-K

What Happened
AI Financial Corp (formerly ALT5 Sigma Corporation) filed an 8-K on May 4, 2026 announcing a corporate name change to AI Financial Corporation effective April 28, 2026 at 11:59 pm PDT. The company also changed its Nasdaq common stock ticker from “ALTS” to “AIFC” as of the market open on April 29, 2026. The name change was effected via a parent/subsidiary short-form merger with a wholly owned Nevada subsidiary formed for this purpose; the Board approved the merger and stockholder approval was not required under Nevada law.

Key Details

• Name change effective: April 28, 2026 at 11:59 pm PDT.
• Ticker change effective: Nasdaq ticker changed from ALTS to AIFC at market open on April 29, 2026.
• Mechanism: Short-form merger with a wholly owned Nevada subsidiary (Articles of Incorporation filed April 24, 2026; Articles of Merger filed April 28, 2026).
• Other items: Website updated from alt5sigma.com to aifi.co; CUSIP number and transfer agent remain unchanged. Press release announcing the change was furnished as Exhibit 99.1.

Why It Matters
This is a corporate rebranding and ticker update rather than a change in the company’s securities or control. For investors, the primary practical effects are recognizing the new corporate name and using the new ticker (AIFC) when trading or researching the stock. The unchanged CUSIP and transfer agent indicate the underlying shares and recordkeeping remain the same.
