Item
1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
June 30, 2026, FreeCast, Inc., a Florida corporation (the "Company," "we," "us" or
"our") entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with new
institutional and existing long term investors (the “Investors”) for a private placement of: (i) 4,666,667 shares
of our Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”); and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase
3,243,807 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants” and, together with the Common Stock, the “Securities”)
at a purchase price of $3.00 per share of Common Stock and Pre-Funded Warrant.
The
private placement closed on July 2, 2026. We received aggregate gross proceeds from the private placement of approximately $23.7 million,
before deducting estimated placement agent commissions and expenses, which are payable by us.
The
Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by us, customary conditions to closing, indemnification
obligations of the Company and the Investors, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The representations, warranties
and covenants in the Securities Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely
for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
We
agreed to use the net proceeds from the private placement for working capital and general corporate purposes. However, we cannot use
any net proceeds: (i) for the satisfaction of any portion of our debt (other than payment of trade payables in the ordinary course of
our business and prior practices); (ii) for the redemption of any Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock; (iii) for
the settlement of any outstanding litigation; or (iv) in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or the regulations
promulgated by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department. The Securities Purchase Agreement is governed by
the laws of the State of New York.
We
also agreed that, from the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement until 30 days after the date that the resale registration statement
required by the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below) becomes effective (the “Effective Date”), we will
not: (i) issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or securities
convertible into Common Stock; or (ii) file any registration statement or amendment or supplement thereto, other than the registration
statement to register the Securities or filing a registration statement on Form S-8 in connection with any employee benefit plan.
The
purchase price of each Pre-Funded Warrant equals $3.00 per share minus the $0.0001 exercise price per share of the Pre-Funded
Warrant. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable at any time after their original issuance, and will not expire until exercised in
full. In accordance with the Nasdaq Global Market rules, the Pre-Funded Warrants are subject to shareholder approval, which we will obtain via
written consent without a meeting.
The
Pre-Funded Warrants provide that the Investor will not have the right to exercise any portion thereof if such exercise would cause the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Investor (together with its affiliates) to exceed 9.99% of the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in
accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants.
In
connection with the private placement, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investors (the “Registration
Rights Agreement”) requiring the Company to file a registration statement covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities
(as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) no later
than the 12th trading day following the date of the Registration Rights Agreement, and have the registration statement declared effective
by the SEC as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than 15th calendar day following the date of
the Registration Rights Agreement, or in the event of a “limited review” by the SEC, the 30th day following the date of the
Registration Rights Agreement, or in the event of a “full review” by the SEC, the 45th day following the date of the Registration
Rights Agreement.
Upon
the occurrence of any Event (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), which, among others, prohibits the Investor from reselling
the Securities for more than 10 consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of 15 calendar days during any 12-month period, the
Company is obligated to pay to the Investor, on each monthly anniversary of each such Event, an amount in cash, as partial liquidated
damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of 1.5% multiplied by the aggregate subscription amount paid by such Investor pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement.
We
may not file any other registration statements until all Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) are
registered pursuant to a registration statement that is declared effective by the SEC, provided that the Company may file amendments
to registration statements filed prior to the date of the Registration Rights Agreement so long as no new securities are registered on
any such existing registration statements. All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with the Registration Rights
Agreement by the Company will be borne by the Company, whether or not any Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) are sold pursuant to a registration statement.
In
connection with the private placement, on June 30, 2026, we entered into a Placement Agency Agreement with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners
(the “Placement Agent”). As part of its compensation for acting as Placement Agent for the private placement, we paid
the Placement Agent a cash fee of 5.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised from the sale of the Securities sold to new institutional
investors and 1.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised from the sale of the Securities sold to existing investors.
The
above summary of the private placement, the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Placement Agency Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement and
the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such applicable agreements,
copies of which are attached as Exhibits 4.1, 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

as a transaction not involving a public offering and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act as sales to accredited
investors and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws.

Pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreement entered into with the investors, the Company has agreed to file a registration
statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock and
