EXPLANATORY NOTE

On June 16, 2026, Kartoon Studios, Inc. filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the "Original Report") related to a settlement agreement with an additional party in the action captioned Augenbaum v. Anson Investments Master Fund LP et al., Case No. 1:22-CV-00249-AS, pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Due to a clerical error, the settlement amount disclosed in the body of the Original Report was inadvertently missing a zero. This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A is being filed for the sole purpose of disclosing the correct settlement amount of $50,000,000. All disclosures contained in the Original Report remain unchanged.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On June 11, 2026, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with an additional party (the "Settling Party") in the action captioned Augenbaum v. Anson Investments Master Fund LP et al., Case No. 1:22-CV-00249-AS, pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Settling Party agreed to pay the Company aggregate settlement payments of $50,000,000 minus fees and expenses of plaintiff's counsel, subject to certain terms and conditions and the parties agreed to mutual releases. On June 11, 2026, the court approved the settlement agreement entered into with such additional Settling Party. With this approval, the court has now approved all of the settlement agreements entered into with the settling parties. The action continues against the two remaining defendants.
