# T3 Defense cancels $16M intercompany debt obligation at no cost or dilution

## Summary
- Cancelled $16M in debt owed to wholly-owned Star 26; no cash outlay, no dilution for shareholders.
- Debt was originally structured for a 51% acquisition; full 100% ownership made it unnecessary.
- Cancellation Agreement preserves T3's full ownership of Star 26 and all its assets.
- Indebtedness was never memorialized in a promissory note; elimination is immediate and final.
