Item 1.01 - Interim Promissory Note and Security Interest Agreement

On April 8, 2026 FinTrade Sherpa, INC (the “Company”) entered into an Interim Promissory Note with Lode Star Gold, INC (the “Lender”), the Company’s largest shareholder and largest Current Liability debt holder, in connection with the Company’s existing financing arrangements. Under the terms of the Interim Promissory Note, the Company granted the Lender a Security Interest in certain intellectual property assets, namely its Alpha-Optimus project including but not limited to trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade secrets, proprietary software, and related goodwill (collectively, the “IP Collateral”).

The Security Interest was granted in connection with the Company’s entry into an Interim Promissory Note dated April 8, 2026 under which the Lender provided periodic interim financing in the aggregate principal amount of $74,811.50 as at the end of March 30, 2026 plus ongoing amounts due after the date of this filing. Retroactive to April 1, 2026, FinTrade will pay a daily compounding interest rate of 0.0411% or 15.0015% per annum. The Company also agrees that all payments applied to the debt shall be applied to the total interest accrued first before being applied to the principal balance. The period of this indebtedness will mature on March 31, 2028

To perfect its Security Interest in the IP Collateral, the Lender filed a UCC-1 Financing Statement with the Texas Secretary of State on April 1, 2026, naming the Company as debtor and the Lender as secured party. The UCC-1 filing covers the IP Collateral described in the Security Agreement.

The Security Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, and events of default for secured lending transactions of this type.

The foregoing description of the Security Agreement and related documents does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, which the Company intends to file as exhibits to an amendment to this Form 8-K or with its next periodic report.
