Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Sadot Group Inc. (SDOT) entered into several related financing and equity arrangements involving its previously issued 8% unsecured original issue discount debentures and existing funding facilities. The company had issued four 8% unsecured OID debentures, each with original principal of $271,739.13 (aggregate $1,086,956.52), in February 2026; one was previously settled in stock and the remaining maturity extended to October 31, 2026.

On August 19, 2026, a holder, Igor Poluyko, assigned one such debenture with outstanding principal of $271,739.13 to a new investor. That debenture was then fully settled in exchange for 33,968 shares of common stock under a Debt Settlement and Share Issuance Agreement relying on the Section 3(a)(9) exemption. The Settlement Shares are subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership cap (increasable to 9.99% on 61 days’ notice), an aggregate 19.99% exchange cap tied to Nasdaq rules, and a daily leak-out limit of 15% of trading volume. Holders of the other February debentures consented and waived equal-treatment rights. The holder of a senior secured convertible note with original principal of $4,000,000 and the investor under a $100.0 million Equity Purchase Facility each granted one-time waivers and consents; the July Note’s conversion price automatically adjusted to the price per share used for the Settlement Shares under its anti-dilution terms.

Filing Explained

The August 19 settlement extinguished the assigned 271,739.13 US dollars debenture in exchange for 33,968 common shares, but the filing says those shares were to be issued within two business days, so it does not establish that delivery had occurred when disclosed.

Original Issue Discount Debentures financial
"four 8% Unsecured OID Debentures each in the original principal amount"
Debt Settlement and Share Issuance Agreement financial
"entered into a Debt Settlement and Share Issuance Agreement"
beneficial ownership limitation financial
"subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation"
A beneficial ownership limitation is a rule that caps the percentage of a company’s shares an investor can be treated as owning or controlling for voting, regulatory or tax purposes. It matters to investors because it can restrict how many shares a person or group can buy or vote, affect takeover chances, and influence share liquidity and value — like a speed limit that prevents any single driver from taking over the whole road.
anti-dilution provisions financial
"waiver provided in the July Note Consent do not extend to the anti-dilution provisions"
Anti-dilution provisions are contract terms that protect an investor’s percentage ownership when a company issues new shares at a lower price than the investor originally paid. They work like an automatic recalculation of split pieces when a pie gets cut into more slices, preserving the investor’s relative stake and reducing unexpected losses of ownership and voting power, which matters because it affects potential control, future returns, and valuation of an investment.
Equity Purchase Facility Agreement financial
"that certain Equity Purchase Facility Agreement, dated as of July 16, 2026"
leak-out limitation financial
"a daily leak-out limitation of 15% of the daily trading volume"
A leak-out limitation is a restriction that controls how quickly large shareholders can sell their stock into the market after a public offering or major share issuance. It matters to investors because it limits sudden increases in supply that can push prices down; think of it as a faucet that opens in measured steps rather than all at once, helping preserve market stability and predictable liquidity.

As previously disclosed, on February 9, 2026, Sadot Group Inc. (the “Company”) issued four 8% Unsecured OID Debentures each in the original principal amount of $271,739.13, in the aggregate original principal amount of $1,086,956.52 (collectively, the “February Debentures”), pursuant to those certain Securities Purchase Agreements, each dated as of February 6, 2026, between the Company and the respective purchasers thereunder (the “February SPAs”). The February Debentures matured on May 30, 2026 and remained outstanding. As previously reported, on August 17, 2026, one of the February Debentures was settled and extinguished in full in exchange for the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock, and the maturity date of the remaining February Debentures was extended to October 31, 2026.

 

Assignment of Debenture Igor Poluyko

 

On August 19, 2026, Igor Poluyko (“Poluyko”), the holder of another February Debenture (the “Assigned Debenture”), assigned the Assigned Debenture to a third-party assignee (“Assignee Debenture Holder”) pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption of Debenture among Poluyko, the Assignee Debenture Holder and, solely for certain limited purposes, the Company (the “Assignment”), for a cash purchase price paid by the Assignee Debenture Holder to Poluyko equal to the outstanding principal amount thereof. The Company consented to the assignment and registered the transfer of the Assigned Debenture.

 

Debt Settlement and Share Issuance Agreement

 

On August 19, 2026, the Company and the Assignee Debenture Holder entered into a Debt Settlement and Share Issuance Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”), pursuant to which the entire outstanding principal amount of the Assigned Debenture (US$271,739.13) was settled, extinguished and discharged in full in exchange for the issuance to the Assignee Debenture Holder of 33,968 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock” and, such shares, the “Settlement Shares”). The Settlement Shares are to be issued within two (2) business days of the date of the Settlement Agreement in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), provided by Section 3(a)(9) thereof.

 

The issuance of the Settlement Shares is subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation (which may be increased by the Assignee Debenture Holder to 9.99% upon 61 days’ prior notice), an aggregate exchange cap of 19.99% of the outstanding Common Stock in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) absent stockholder approval, and a daily leak-out limitation of 15% of the daily trading volume of the Common Stock. The Settlement Agreement contains mutual releases, effective upon the Assignee Debenture Holder’s receipt of the Settlement Shares, and customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties.

 

Holders’ Approval

 

In connection with the foregoing, the holders of the remaining February Debentures executed and delivered a Written Approval and Consent of Holders, dated as of August 19, 2026 (the “Holders’ Approval”), pursuant to which such holders, among other things, (i) approved and consented to the Assignment and the Settlement Agreement for purposes of Section 8 of the February Debentures, and (ii) waived their rights to receive an equivalent offer or otherwise to participate in the settlement under the equal treatment provisions of Section 9 of the February Debentures and Section 4.11 of the February SPAs.

 

 

 

July Note Holder Consent

 

On August 19, 2026, the Company entered into a Consent, Waiver and Acknowledgment (the “July Note Consent”) with the holder of a senior secured convertible promissory note of the Company in the original principal amount of $4,000,000 issued on July 16, 2026 (the “July Note”) issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 16, 2026 (the “July SPA”). Pursuant to the July Note Consent, the holder of the July Note consented to the Assignment, the Settlement Agreement and the other transactions described above (collectively, the “Proposed Transactions”) and provided a one-time waiver of applicable provisions of the July SPA, including the variable rate transaction and participation provisions thereof, in each case solely with respect to the Proposed Transactions, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions. The Company also agreed to reimburse holder of the July Note for its fees and expenses incurred in connection with the consent.

 

The waiver provided in the July Note Consent do not extend to the anti-dilution provisions of the July Note. Accordingly, as a result of the issuance of the Settlement Shares at a price below the fixed conversion price of the July Note, the conversion price of the July Note automatically adjusted to price per share at which shares were issued in the Settlement Agreement pursuant to the terms of the July Note.

 

EPFA Consent

 

On August 19, 2026, the Company also entered into a Consent, Waiver and Acknowledgment (the “EPFA Consent”) with the investor signatory to that certain Equity Purchase Facility Agreement, dated as of July 16, 2026 (the “EPFA”), pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell to the investor up to $100.0 million of shares of Common Stock, subject to the terms and conditions thereof.
