Material Agreement (Form 8-K)

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Banzai International, Inc. (the "Company") previously reported that it entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") on June 27, 2025, with an institutional investor (the "Buyer") for the issuance and sale in a private placement (the "Offering") of senior secured convertible notes of the Company, of up to an aggregate original principal amount of $11,000,000 which shall be convertible into shares of common stock, par value $0.0001, of the Company (the "Common Stock") (the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of the convertible notes, including, without limitation, upon conversion or otherwise, collectively, the "Conversion Shares"), in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement. The Buyer purchased (i) an Initial Note in the aggregate original principal amount of $2,200,000 (the "Initial Notes") and (ii) a warrant to initially acquire up to 671,243 shares of Common Stock (the "Initial Buyer Warrants") (as exercised, collectively, the "Warrant Shares"). In connection with the Offering, the Company has also entered into a letter agreement dated April 30, 2025 (the "Letter Agreement") with Rodman & Renshaw LLC as the exclusive financial advisor (the "Financial Advisor") pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue financial advisor warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 212,121 shares of Common Stock (the "Financial Advisor Warrants", together with the Buyer Warrants, the "Warrants"). The Offering closed on June 30, 2025 (the "Initial Closing Date" or "Initial Closing"). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

On August 19, 2025, the parties held an Additional Closing pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement (the "Second Closing"). The Company issued an Additional Note in the original principal amount of $2,200,000, with an initial conversion price equal to $3.4891 per share and issuance date of August 19, 2025 (the Additional Note and the Initial Note, are collectively referred to herein as the "Notes"), and Additional Warrants to purchase up to 126,107 shares of Common Stock, at an initial exercise price equal to $3.4891 per share (the "Additional Warrants and the Initial Buyer Warrants, are collectively referred to herein as the "Buyer Warrants"), in the Second Closing. The Additional Note matures on August 19, 2026. Other than the maturity date and the conversion and exercise price of the Additional Note and Additional Warrants, respectively, the Additional Note and Additional Warrants have the same terms as those issued on the Initial Closing Date.

The Additional Note was issued with an original issue discount of 10.0% (the "OID"), as was the Note issued on the Initial Closing Date and accrue interest at a rate of 10.0% per annum. The Notes mature 12 months from the date of issuance (the "Maturity Date"), unless extended pursuant to the terms thereof. The Notes are convertible (in whole or in part) at any time prior to the Maturity Date into the number of shares of Common Stock equal to quotient of the Conversion Amount divided by (y) the Conversion Price (the "Conversion Rate"). At no time may the Buyer hold more than 4.99% (or up to 9.99% at the election of the Buyers pursuant to the Notes) of the outstanding Common Stock. The conversion price of the Additional Note is subject to a floor price of $1.10.

In addition, if an Event of Default (as defined in the Notes) has occurred under the Notes, the Buyer may elect convert (each, an "Alternate Conversion", and the date of such Alternate Conversion, each, an "Alternate Conversion Date") all, or any part of, the Conversion Amount (such portion of the Conversion Amount subject to such Alternate Conversion, the "Alternate Conversion Amount") into shares of Common Stock at a conversion rate equal to the quotient of (x) the product of (A) the Redemption Premium and (B) the Alternate Conversion Amount, divided by (y) the Alternate Conversion Price (the "Alternate Conversion Rate"). Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Company is required to deliver written notice to the Buyer within one (1) business day (an "Event of Default Notice"). At any time after the earlier of (a) the Buyer's receipt of an Event of Default Notice, and (b) the Buyer becoming aware of an Event of Default, the Buyer may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Notes at a 15% premium. Beginning the earlier to occur of (x) the Effective Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) of the initial Registration Statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement and (y) August 1, 2025, and thereafter, the first Trading Day of the calendar month immediately following (each an "Installment Date") until the Maturity Date, the Company shall repay the Buyer $183,333.33 towards the principal balance of the Notes, plus any then-accrued and unpaid interest in cash or, provided certain conditions are satisfied, shares of Common Stock, at the Company's option (collectively, the "Installment Amount"). In connection with a "Change of Control", the Buyer shall have the right to require the Company to redeem part or all of the Notes outstanding in cash, at the highest calculation of the Change of Control Redemption Price, each of which is outlined in their entirety within the Notes.

The Leak-Out Agreement that the Buyer entered in the Initial Closing remains effective. That agreement governs the sale of Company shares until the earlier to occur of (i) such date as the Buyer no longer holds any Notes, (ii) the date of any Redemption Notice (as defined in the Notes) of any Notes then outstanding, (iii) such date upon which any breach by the Company of any term of the Purchase Agreement occurs, regardless of whether such breach is subsequently cured and (iv) such date any Event of Default (as defined in the Notes) occurs, regardless of whether such Event of Default is subsequently cured (such period, the "Restricted Period"), with sale limitations tied to the Company's daily trading volume, as detailed in the Leak-Out Agreement.
