Executive Summary
Empery Digital filed additional definitive proxy soliciting materials (DEFA14A) on October 1, 2026, in the context of an ongoing proxy contest with activist ATG Capital. The filing follows a preliminary contested proxy statement (PREC14A) from August 5, 2026, and multiple recent SC 13D/A amendments by ATG Capital, including a 500,000-share open-market purchase on September 1, 2026.
