FAIRFAX, VA, Oct. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Visium Technologies, Inc. (OTCID: VISM) ("Visium" or the "Company") today announced that it and the counterparties to its non-binding term sheet, first announced on September 22, 2026, have agreed to extend the term sheet’s exclusivity period through March 31, 2027. The proposed transaction is an assignment of specified device contract-use, offtake and deployment rights into PT Visium Compute Indonesia, a newly formed Indonesian foreign-investment company. The parties have also widened the due diligence each will complete before negotiating a definitive agreement.

Expanded diligence

The parties have agreed to a second phase of due diligence, conducted by both sides. The Company’s review now covers:

• the final written device specifications and part number;
• the required third-party, assignment and change-of-control consents;
• U.S. export-control classification and denied-party screening;
• Indonesian foreign-investment, licensing and bonded-zone approvals in Batam;
• site and power rights that would survive a closing;
• a quality-of-earnings review of any customer deposits;
• the cross-border accounting needed to present the transaction under U.S. GAAP.
  

The counterparties are conducting their own diligence on the Company. The parties expect to complete this mutual diligence during the first quarter of 2027.

What remains unchanged

The term sheet remains non-binding, except for its provisions on exclusivity, confidentiality, expenses and governing law. Any definitive agreement will require approval by the Company’s qualified independent directors under Section 607.0832 of the Florida Business Corporation Act, and will be subject to the closing conditions described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed September 21, 2026. The Company will file a Form 8-K if it enters into a definitive agreement.

Management commentary

"The cross-border accounting and the GAAP audit work for this transaction are progressing smoothly," said Paul R. Taylor, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Visium. "We would rather take the extra time and get it right than sign early and get it wrong."
