Item
1.01 (Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement)
On
April 13, 2026 a complaint was filed against the Company in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego . Trillium Partners,
LP,( the “ Plaintiff”) , who has acquired rights to $398,740 of claims against the Company, sought damages in that amount
along with attorneys’ fees and costs.
On
May 14, 2026 the Company and the Plaintiff entered into a Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement (“Agreement”). Pursuant
to the terms and conditions of the Agreement following the entry of an Order by the Court after a fairness hearing pursuant to Section
3(a) (10) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), and Section 25142 of the California Corporations Code (the
“Corporations Code”) and the delivery by the Plaintiff and the Company of the Stipulation of Dismissal in settlement of the
Claims, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Plaintiff shares of its Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock (the “Settlement
Shares”) in one or more tranches as necessary, and subject to adjustment and ownership limitations as set forth in the Agreement,
sufficient to generate proceeds such that the aggregate Remittance Amount equals the Claim Amount. The Remittance Amount shall mean sixty
five percent (65%) of Net Proceeds of the sale of Settlement Shares. On July 10, 2026, after a Fairness Hearing, the Superior Court of
California issued an order approving issuance of the Settlement Shares pursuant to Section 3(a) (10) of the Act and Section 25142 of
the Corporations Code .
The
foregoing description of the abovementioned Agreement is not complete and is qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of
the abovementioned Agreement which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated in this Item 1.01
by reference.
Item
4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
Regen
Biopharma Inc. (the “Company”), was notified that Simon & Edward LLP (“S&E”) acquired, effective as of
June 15, 2026, the attest service business of BCRG Group (“BCRG”). On July 13 2026, the Audit Committee of the Company’s
Board of Directors simultaneously dismissed BCRG as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and approved the
appointment of S&E as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm. The services previously provided by
BCRG will now be provided by S&E.
BCRG’s
audit report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 contained
no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles,
except that the report on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
included an explanatory paragraph indicating that there was substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern.
During
the fiscal years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and the subsequent interim period through the date of this Current Report on Form
8-K, there were (a) no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Company
and BCRG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which
disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BCRG, would have caused BCRG to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements
in connection with BCRG’s reports on the Company’s financial statements, and (b) no “reportable events” (as defined
in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions), except for the material weaknesses in the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting previously disclosed under Part II, Item 9A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended September 30, 2025.
Prior
to engaging S&E, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted S&E regarding (i) the application of accounting
principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s
financial statements, and no written report was provided to the Company or oral advice was provided that S&E concluded was an important
factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter
that was either the subject of a disagreement (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or
a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions).
The
Company has requested that BCRG furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements.
A copy of such letter, dated July 15, 2026 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Item
8.01 Other Events
On
July 13, 2026 Regen Biopharma Inc. (the “Company”) filed a CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION (“Certificate of Designations”)
with the Nevada Secretary of State setting forth the preferences rights and limitations of a newly authorized series of preferred stock
designated and known as “Series N Preferred Stock” (hereinafter referred to as “Series N Preferred Stock”).
The
Board of Directors of the Company have authorized 1,000 shares of the Series N Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001. With respect to each
matter submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation, each holder of Series N Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cast that
number of votes which is equivalent to the number of shares of Series N Preferred Stock owned by such holder times seventy five million
(75,000,000). Except as otherwise required by law holders of Common Stock, other series of Preferred issued by the Corporation, and Series
N Preferred Stock shall vote as a single class on all matters submitted to the stockholders.
The
description of the Certificate of Designations is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Designations,
which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3(i) and incorporated herein by reference.
The
Company’s Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Company to issue up to 800,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par
value, and grants the Board of Directors of the Company the full authority permitted by law to establish one or more series and the number
of shares constituting each such series and to fix by resolution full or limited, multiple or fractional, or no voting rights, and such
designations, preferences, qualifications, privileges, limitations, restrictions, options, conversion rights and other special or relative
rights of any series of the Preferred Stock that may be desired.
