Cash raised via warrant exercises with new five‑year warrants issued.

Edible Garden secured approximately $4.2 million in gross proceeds by inducing a holder to exercise existing registered warrants at $2.06 per share. As consideration, the company will issue new unregistered five‑year warrants for up to 4,043,142 shares at the same exercise price, immediately exercisable.

The arrangement includes a commitment to file a resale registration on Form S‑3 within 30 days, with best efforts to effectiveness in 45 days (or 90 days upon full review). The company agreed to a 45‑day standstill on new issuances/registrations (with exceptions) and a six‑month prohibition on Variable Rate Transactions, which defines near‑term financing parameters.

Maxim Group LLC acts as exclusive advisor, receiving a 6.5% cash fee on proceeds plus reasonable accountable expenses. Actual market impact depends on exercise activity and resale timing as permitted after effectiveness.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 16, 2025, Edible Garden AG Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an inducement letter agreement (collectively, the “Inducement Letter Agreement”) with an institutional investor and existing holder (the “Holder”) of (i) warrants to purchase 53 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) issued on May 9, 2022 with an initial exercise price of $75,000 (the “May 2022 Warrants”), (ii) warrants to purchase 1,080 shares of Common Stock issued on September 8, 2023 with an initial exercise price of $550 (the “September 2023 Warrants”), (iii) Class A warrants to purchase 10,619 shares of Common Stock and Class B warrants to purchase 10,619 shares of Common Stock issued on May 23, 2024 with initial exercise prices of $37.25 (the “May 2024 Warrants”), and (iv) warrants to purchase 1,999,200 shares of Common Stock issued on May 21, 2025 with an initial exercise price of $3.50 (the “May 2025 Warrants” and collectively with the May 2022 Warrants, September 2023 Warrants, and May 2024 Warrants, the “Existing Warrants”). The Existing Warrants were all immediately exercisable upon issuance.

Pursuant to the Inducement Letter Agreement, the Holder agreed to exercise the Existing Warrants for cash at a reduced exercise price of $2.06 per share in consideration for the Company’s agreement to issue new unregistered five-year warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,043,142 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.06 per share (the “New Warrants”). The New Warrants will be immediately exercisable upon issuance and have a term of five years from the initial exercise date. The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company from the exercise of the Existing Warrants will be approximately $4.2 million, before deducting Maxim’s fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company.

The issuance of the shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the May 2022 Warrants is registered pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-260655), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 4, 2022. The issuance of the shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the September 2023 Warrants is registered pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-274080), which was declared effective by the SEC on September 7, 2023. The issuance of the shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the May 2024 Warrants is registered pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-278967), which was declared effective by the SEC on May 22, 2024. The issuance of the shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the May 2025 Warrants is registered pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-288214), which was declared effective by the SEC on July 3, 2025.

The Company has agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or other appropriate form if it is not eligible to utilize Form S-3) providing for the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the New Warrants (the “Resale Registration Statement”) within 30 calendar days following the date of the Inducement Letter Agreement, and to use best efforts to cause the Resale Registration Statement to become effective within 45 calendar days from the date of the Inducement Letter Agreement (or within 90 calendar days in case of “full review” of the Resale Registration Statement by the SEC). Pursuant to the Inducement Letter Agreement, the Company agreed not to issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents or file any registration statement or any amendment or supplement to any existing registration statement, subject to certain exceptions, for a period of forty-five calendar days after the closing under the Inducement Letter Agreement. The Company is also prohibited from entering into any agreement to issue Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents involving a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Inducement Letter Agreements), subject to certain exceptions, for six months after the closing under the Inducement Letter Agreement.

Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”) served as the Company’s exclusive financial advisor for this transaction. Maxim will receive an aggregate cash fee equal to 6.5% of the total proceeds received from the exercise of the Existing Warrants exercised in connection with the Inducement Letter Agreement. The Company also agreed to pay Maxim for reasonable accountable expenses.

The New Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable thereunder will be sold and issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as transactions not involving a public offering and/or Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act.
