LINKAGE GLOBAL INC ANNOUNCES $3.5 MILLION CONVERTIBLE NOTE FINANCING WITH FRAMEWORK FOR UP TO $30 MILLION IN TOTAL FUNDING

Cross-Border E-Commerce Services Provider Completes Strategic Private Placement to Support Growth Initiatives

TOKYO, Japan, July 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Linkage Global Inc (NASDAQ: LGCB) ("Linkage Global" or the "Company"), a cross-border e-commerce integrated services provider headquartered in Japan, today announced that it has entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement for the issuance and sale of senior unsecured convertible notes in an initial principal amount of $3.5 million in a private placement to an accredited investor pursuant to Rule 506(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Initial Closing and Transaction Terms

The Company expects to receive gross proceeds of $2.7 million at the initial closing. An additional $450,000 is expected to be funded within one business day following the effectiveness of a registration statement registering the resale of the underlying conversion shares and subject to continued compliance with the listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market.

The convertible notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and were sold at 90% of their principal amount. They are convertible into the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, par value US$0.0025 per share (“Ordinary Shares”), at the option of the holders, pursuant to fixed terms designed to align investor return with long-term value creation.

Additional Capital Framework of up to $30 Million

The financing establishes a capital framework for additional issuances of up to $26.5 million in principal amount of similar convertible notes in future tranches. These follow-on tranches are subject to customary conditions, including satisfaction of the Equity Conditions (as defined in the Notes) as of the applicable Additional Closing Date; the effectiveness of a registration statement filed with the SEC covering the Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of such Additional Notes; a minimum daily trading volume during the relevant Equity Conditions Measuring Period exceeding the required threshold; a volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the Ordinary Shares during such period that is greater than the then-applicable conversion price; and an aggregate outstanding principal amount of no more than $500,000 immediately prior to such Additional Closing.

Strategic Rationale and Use of Proceeds

“This financing represents a key milestone in our capital formation strategy and provides the flexibility needed to advance our cross-border e-commerce platform,” said Yang (Angela) Wang, Chief Executive Officer of Linkage Global. “The structure gives us access to near-term capital while preserving the option to scale up further as conditions permit.”

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including expansion of its cross-border sales operations and integrated e-commerce service lines.

Registration and Investor Protections

In connection with the transaction, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement and agreed to file a resale registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) covering the shares issuable upon conversion of the notes. The Company remains eligible to use Form F-1 for such registration.

While the notes are outstanding, the Company is subject to customary investor protections, including restrictions on the issuance of variable-rate securities and standard anti-dilution adjustments.
