Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Equity Purchase Agreement

On September 12, 2025, Bolt Projects Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an equity purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Ascent Partners Fund LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Investor") relating to an equity line of credit facility (the "ELOC"). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company will have the right from time to time at its option to sell to the Investor up to $20.0 million of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Common Stock"), subject to certain customary conditions and limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including that (i) the Investor shall not be obligated to purchase or acquire any shares of Common Stock that would result in its beneficial ownership exceeding 9.99% of the Company's then-outstanding voting power and (ii) the Investor shall not be obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock if the volume weighted average price for the Common Stock on an Advance Notice Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) is less than $1.00 (the "Floor Price").

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company will have the right, but not the obligation, to direct the Investor to purchase shares of Common Stock at its sole discretion from time to time until the earlier of (i) the first day of the month following the 36-month period after the effective date of a registration statement registering the resale of the Common Stock sold to the Investor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and (ii) $20.0 million of Common Stock have been sold to the Investor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. To initiate a purchase, the Company must deliver written notice to the Investor before trading begins on any trading day. The purchase price of the shares (the "Share Price") will be determined based on the timing and conditions of an advance notice (each, an "Advance Notice"). If an Advance Notice is received before 8:01 a.m. Eastern Time on a trading day and the amount is between $25,000 and $500,000, the price will be 96% of the lowest volume-weighted average price in the ten trading days immediately preceding the delivery of the notice, provided, that if such closing of the Advance Notice happens and 96% of the lowest daily VWAP in the 10 trading days following such closing is lower than such Share Price, then the Company shall issue additional shares of Common Stock to the Investor so that the total number of shares of Common Stock received by the Investor is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock it would have received for the aggregate purchase price paid at such closing for such shares if the shares of Common Stock had been valued at such lower price. Alternatively, if the notice is received between 8:01 a.m. and 9:15 a.m. Eastern Time on a trading day, and the pre-market stock price is at least 150% of the prior day's closing price, the notice amount must not exceed $5.0 million. In this case, the Share Price will be the lesser of: (i) the average of the daily volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock on the trading day before the notice is delivered and the volume-weighted average price on the day of the notice, or (ii) 96% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price over the trading days required for the Investor to fully sell the shares underlying the notice.

Sales of Common Stock to the Investor under the Purchase Agreement, and the timing of any sales, will be determined by the Company from time to time in its sole discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of shares of Common Stock and determinations by the Company regarding the use of proceeds of such sales. The net proceeds from any sales under the Purchase Agreement will depend on the frequency with, and prices at, which the shares of Common Stock are sold to the Investor. The Company expects to use the proceeds from any sales under the Purchase Agreement for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed not to engage in any other "at the market offering" or "equity line of credit" transaction during the term of the Purchase Agreement.

As consideration for the Investor's irrevocable commitment to purchase the shares of Common Stock upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue

85,588 shares of Common Stock to the Investor (the "Upfront Commitment Shares").

The Company has the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time after Commencement, at no cost or penalty, upon five trading days' prior written notice. No termination of the Purchase Agreement will alter or otherwise affect the Company's obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement. The Investor has the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement upon ten trading days' prior written notice to the Company of an occurrence of a material and uncured breach or default by the Company, and, if such breach or default is capable of being cured, such breach or default is not cured within fifteen trading days after notice of such breach or default is delivered to the Company.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification obligations by each party. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of the Purchase Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements and are subject to certain important limitations. The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Company's entry into the Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with the Investor (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to register for resale, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), the shares of Common Stock that may be sold to the Investor under the ELOC and the Upfront Commitment Shares.

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.2 hereto, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.


The disclosure set forth above in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein. The issuance of the Upfront Commitment Shares and the shares of Common Stock the Company may sell under the Purchase Agreement will initially be made pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act in reliance on representations made by the Investor to the Company in the Purchase Agreement. Based on the Floor Price currently in the Purchase Agreement, the Company estimates that the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Purchase Agreement is 20,000,000 shares, though the actual number of shares issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will depend on whether and when the Company utilizes the ELOC.
