Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On July 21, 2026, Algorhythm Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a settlement agreement and stipulation (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Continuation Capital, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CCI”), with respect to certain outstanding liabilities of the Company in the principal amount of $1,928,014 (the “Claim Amount”) that CCI has acquired from the former holders thereof.

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company agreed to issue CCI up to 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), in one or more tranches until CCI has generated aggregate proceeds equal to 120% of the Claim Amount. On July 23, 2026, the Circuit Court of the Twelfth Judicial Circuit in and for Desoto County, Florida entered an order approving the Settlement Agreement after a fairness hearing pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The number of shares of common stock held by CCI at any given time cannot exceed 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

The offer and sale of these securities was and/or will be completed by the Company in private placement transactions that are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act without payment of underwriting discounts or commissions to any person and without engaging in any advertising or general solicitation of any kind.

 

The foregoing is intended to be a summary of the terms of the Agreement and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On July 22, 2026, the Company entered into amended and restated employment agreements with: (i) Gary Atkinson, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, which agreement supersedes and replaces that certain amended and restated employment agreement entered into with Mr. Atkinson on February 23, 2026 (the “CEO Agreement”); and (ii) Alex Andre, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel, which agreement supersedes and replaces that certain employment agreement entered into with Mr. Andre on February 12, 2025 (the “CFO Agreement” and together with the CEO Agreement, the “Employment Agreements”).

 

The Agreements harmonize the change in control treatment applicable to each of the Company’s executive officers. In furtherance thereof, each executive officer now has the right to receive a bonus if, and each time, a Change of Control (as defined in the applicable Employment Agreement) occurs during the term of their employment in a lump sum payment equal to their Base Salary and Annual Bonus (each as defined in the applicable Employment Agreement) for the year in which the Change of Control occurs. The Employment Agreements also include additional provisions designed to ensure that various payments that may in the future be made by the Company to the executive officers fully comply with Sections 280G, 4999 and 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The foregoing is intended to be a summary of the terms of the Employment Agreements and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by the terms of the CEO Agreement and CFO Agreement, a copy of each of which is attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively.
