The Albany Gazette - Adapti, Inc. (OTC:ADTI) Announces Closing of The Ballengee Group Acquisition

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESS Newswire / July 17, 2025 / Adapti, Inc. (OTC:ADTI) announced that on July 14, 2025, it has closed its acquisition of 100% of the membership interests of The Ballengee Group, LLC, ("Ballengee") a Dallas-based baseball sports management agency which represents approximately 200 professional athletes. Pursuant to the acquisition, the security holders of Ballengee are entitled to receive: (i) 6,500,000 shares of Common Stock of Adapti, (ii) a promissory note in the principal amount of $7,500,000 (the "Note"), and (iii) contingent earnout consideration of up to $20,000,000, payable in shares of Adapti Common Stock (the "Earnout").

This acquisition marks a major milestone in Adapti's vision to create an integrated agency that combines sports representation with social media management and AI technology. By bringing Ballengee's roster of athletes together with AdaptAI - Adapti's SaaS-based platform that it is developing for data-driven influencer alignment, management believes that the company is uniquely positioned to increase exposure and revenue for Ballengee's athlete clients.

"Today we embark on an exciting new chapter," said Adam Nicosia, CEO of Adapti, Inc. "By uniting The Ballengee Group's world-class talent management expertise with our AdaptAI platform, we're hoping to redefine how athletes and brands connect. Our integrated agency model will aim to empower clients to amplify their reach, unlock new sponsorship opportunities, and leverage real-time data insights to continuously optimize their personal brands."

"Joining forces with Adapti opens tremendous possibilities for our athletes," said James Ballengee, Founder of The Ballengee Group. "Together, we plan to harness AI-driven audience analytics and social media strategies to elevate athlete profiles like never before. I'm thrilled for what lies ahead as we build the future of sports marketing and management."

Adapti plans to roll out a suite of integrated services that blend traditional contract negotiation and endorsement deals with dynamic social media campaigns, which we anticipate will be powered by AdaptAI's proprietary "data fingerprint" technology that the company is developing. This technology will utilize Large Language Models to quickly optimize and adapt to changes in the ever evolving marketing landscape. This holistic approach is being designed to maximize engagement, drive higher ROI for brand partners, and ensure athletes capture every opportunity to grow their platforms.
