| Item
1.01 | Entry
into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On
July 29, 2025, Bollinger Innovations, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Amendment and Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange
Agreement”) with certain investors (each individually a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”),
pursuant to which the Company agreed to exchange certain outstanding senior secured convertible notes (the “Exchange Notes”)
and warrants (the “Exchange Warrants”) previously issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreements, as may have
been amended from time to time, dated May 14, 2024, January 23, 2025, February 5, 2025, March 6, 2025, May 16, 2025 and May 29, 2025
(each a “Securities Purchase Agreement” and collectively, the “Securities Purchase Agreements”).
The Exchange Agreement provides for the exchange of the Exchange Notes and Exchange Warrants issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase
Agreements for newly authorized shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series F Preferred
Stock”) and Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series G Preferred Stock,”
and together with the Series F Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”), respectively.
Pursuant
to the Exchange Agreement, in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) as promulgated
by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Holders agreed to exchange (i) the Exchange
Notes, with an aggregate principal and accrued interest of approximately $25.5 million for approximately 25,521 shares of Series F Preferred
Stock (the “Series F Preferred Shares”) and (ii) the Exchange Warrants, exercisable (on a cash basis) for approximately
4.3 million shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) for approximately 109,219 shares
of Series G Preferred Stock (the “Series G Preferred Shares” and together with the Series F Preferred Shares, the
“Preferred Shares”). Upon closing of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, the Exchange Notes and
Exchange Warrants were cancelled and the Holders relinquished all rights, title and interest in such securities.
The
Exchange Agreement includes certain covenants, including, among others, that (i) the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts
to maintain the listing of its Common Stock on a stock exchange, (ii) while Preferred Shares remain outstanding, (A) during a certain
90 day period, the Company will not, with certain exceptions, offer or issue any equity or related securities, and (B) the Company will
not, without approval from Holders of a majority of the outstanding Preferred Shares, issue any equity security having a preference over
or party with the Preferred Shares with respect to dividends, liquidation or redemption or having a preference over the Common Stock
with respect to dividends, liquidation or redemption, and the Company and its subsidiaries will not incur any indebtedness. The Company
also agreed not to enter into any fundamental transaction, such as a merger, sale of more than 50% of the outstanding voting shares,
sale of substantially all assets, or business combination, unless such transaction complies with the terms of the Certificates of Designations
(as defined below in Item 5.03 of this Report). Additionally, the Exchange Agreement amended each of the Transaction Documents (as defined
in each Securities Purchase Agreement) to incorporate the Series F Preferred Stock and Series G Preferred Stock. The Exchange Agreement
contains customary representations and warranties between the Company and the Holders.
If,
upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, the Company fails to timely issue the shares of Common Stock, then, at the sole discretion of
the Holder, the Company will pay in cash to such Holder on each trading day after the delivery date an amount equal to 1% of the product
of the number of shares of Common Stock not so delivered multiplied by the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the trading day
immediately preceding such delivery date.
This
description of the Exchange Agreement and the transactions related thereto does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the full text of the Exchange Agreement filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
| Item
1.02. | Termination
of a Material Definitive Agreement. |
The
information set forth above with respect to the cancellation of the Exchange Notes and the Exchange Warrants in Item 1.01 is incorporated
herein by reference.
|
Item 3.02 |
Unregistered
Sales of Equity Securities. |
The
information set forth above in Item 1.01 and below in Item 5.03 is incorporated herein by reference. The issuance of the Series F Preferred
Stock and Series G Preferred Stock, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof, was made in reliance upon the exemptions
from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, because it involves an exchange with the Company’s exchange
security holders exclusively where no commission or other remuneration is paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exchange
and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D, because, among other things, the transaction did not involve a public offering and the investors represented
that they are accredited investors.
|
Item 5.03 |
Amendments
to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
The
information set forth above in Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, on July 29, 2025, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate
of Designations designating 25,600 shares of Series F Preferred Stock (the “Series F Preferred Certificate of Designations”)
and a Certificate of Designations designating 110,000 shares of Series G Preferred Stock (the “Series G Preferred Certificate
of Designations”, and together with the Series F Preferred Certificate of Designations, the “Certificates of Designations”).
The Certificates of Designations set forth the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock
and Series G Preferred Stock.
Series
F Preferred Stock
The
following is a summary of the terms of the Series F Preferred Stock.
Serial

F-8 Preferred Stock; and 4,350 shares of F-9 Preferred Stock.
Ranking.
The Series F Preferred Stock, with respect to the payment of dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution
and winding up of the Company, ranks senior to all capital stock of the Company, unless at least a majority of the outstanding Series
F Preferred Shares consent to the creation of other capital stock of the Company that is senior or equal in rank to the Series F Preferred
Stock.
Conversion
and Exchange. Each share of Series F Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of a Holder at any time into shares of Common Stock
by dividing the conversion amount by the lower of (a) the applicable Conversion Fixed Price for the relevant series (“Conversion

Shares, $156,060, (4) for the F-4 Preferred Shares, $3,401, (5) for the F-5 Preferred Shares, $248,000, (6) for the F-6 Preferred Shares,
$642,000, (7) for the F-7 Preferred Shares, $18,500, (8) for the F-8 Preferred Shares, $51,400, and (9) for the F-9 Preferred Shares,
$346,800,000), (b) 95% of the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the date the initial registration statement for such series is
declared effective by the SEC, or (c) 95% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price (VWAP) in the five trading days prior to
the conversion date, but in no event less than the applicable Conversion Floor Price (“Conversion Floor Price” means
(1) for the F-1 Preferred Shares, $0.02, (2) for the F-2 Preferred Shares, $0.03, (3) for the F-3 Preferred Shares, $0.05, (4) for the
F-4 Preferred Shares, $0.07, (5) for the F-5 Preferred Shares, $0.08, (6) for the F-6 Preferred Shares, $0.21, (7) for the F-7 Preferred
Shares, $0.37, (8) for the F-8 Preferred Shares, $1.03, and (9) for the F-9 Preferred Shares, $1.16, which amounts are not subject to
adjustment for stock dividends, subdivisions, or combinations). The conversion price and shares are subject to adjustment, pursuant to
Section 6 of the Certificate of Designations, in the event of stock dividends and stock splits, and subsequent equity sales.
If,
upon conversion of Series F Preferred Shares, the Company fails to timely issue the shares of Common Stock, then, at the sole discretion
of the Holder, the Company will pay in cash to such Holder on each trading day after the delivery date an amount equal to 1% of the product
of the number of shares of Common Stock not so delivered multiplied by the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the trading day
immediately preceding such delivery date.
If
any shares of Series F Preferred Stock are converted, redeemed or reacquired by the Company, such shares may not be reissued and will
automatically be retired and cancelled and resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock. The Series F Preferred
Stock will not be convertible by a Holder to the extent that such Holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of
9.9% of the Common Stock, as further described in the Series F Preferred Certificate of Designations.

of Series F Preferred Stock, (iv) create or authorize any new class or series of stock senior to or on parity with the Series F Preferred
Stock, (v) pay dividends or make distributions on any junior stock, (vi) issue additional Series F Preferred Stock (except as contemplated),
or (vii) circumvent the rights of the Series F Preferred Stock.

payment. Dividends are payable in cash quarterly in arrears on the first trading day of each fiscal quarter beginning on October 1, 2025.
At the option of each Holder, dividends may be paid at any time in shares of Common Stock pursuant to the conversion terms described
above.
Company

Preferred Stock then outstanding equal to the sum of (1) the stated value plus (2) the all accrued dividends.

Series F Preferred Stock, the incurrence of indebtedness, the existence of liens, the repayment of indebtedness when a Triggering
Event has occurred, the payment of cash in respect of dividends, distributions or redemptions, and the transfer of assets, among
other customary matters. A “Triggering Event” includes, but is not limited to: (i) failure to maintain sufficient

Dissolution and Winding Up. In the event of any Liquidation Event (as defined in the Series F Certificate of Designation), the Holders
of Series F Preferred Shares will be entitled to receive prior and in preference to any distribution of the proceeds to the holders of
the Common Stock, an amount per share equal to the Conversion Fixed Price plus declared but unpaid dividends on such shares.
Series
G Preferred Stock
The
following is a summary of the terms of the Series G Preferred Stock.
Ranking.

and winding up of the Company, ranks senior to all capital stock of the Company, unless at least a majority of the outstanding Series
G Preferred Shares consent to the creation of other capital stock of the Company that is senior or equal in rank to the Series G Preferred
Stock.
Conversion
and Exchange. Each shares of Series G Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of a Holder at any time prior to the applicable
conversion maturity date (as set forth in the Holder Schedule attached to the Exchange Agreement) into shares of Common Stock, determined
by dividing the stated value of $1,000 per share of Series G Preferred Stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends,
recapitalizations, reorganizations, reclassifications, combinations, subdivisions or other similar events with respect to the Series
G Preferred Stock) by the lower of the two closing bid prices of the Common Stock in the two days prior to the date of such conversion,
but in any event not less than $0.10 per share. If, upon conversion of Series G Preferred Shares, the Company fails to timely issue the
shares of Common Stock, then, at the sole discretion of the Holder, the Company will pay in cash to such Holder on each trading day after
the delivery date an amount equal to 1% of the product of the number of shares of Common Stock not so delivered multiplied by the closing
sale price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such delivery date.

any shares of Series G Preferred Stock are converted, redeemed or reacquired by the Company, such shares may not be reissued and will
automatically be retired and cancelled and resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock. The Series G Preferred
