Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 29, 2025, Sadot Group Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Secured Promissory Note (the "Note") with an individual lender (the "Lender"), pursuant to which the Company received financing in the principal amount of $238,986.87.
The Note bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum, calculated on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. The entire unpaid principal balance, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, is due and payable in one lump sum payment on October 29, 2026 (the "Maturity Date"). The Company may prepay the Note, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty.
The Note is secured by a security interest in all assets of the Company, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, including but not limited to accounts, equipment, inventory, intellectual property, and all other personal property (collectively, the "Collateral"). The Lender has filed or will promptly file a UCC-1 Financing Statement with the appropriate filing offices to perfect the security interest in the Collateral.
The Note contains customary events of default, including failure to pay amounts when due (with a five-day cure period), material misrepresentations, and bankruptcy or insolvency events. Upon an event of default, the entire unpaid principal balance and all accrued interest become immediately due and payable, and the default interest rate increases to the lesser of 15% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law. Upon default, the Lender has all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code.
The foregoing description of the Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Note, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
