The July 2022 Amendment Agreement grants the holder of the Note the right, at any time after December 27, 2023, to force the Company to redeem all or any portion of the outstanding principal, interest or penalties on the Note. The parties also amended the Company’s carve out to its financing standstill as set forth in the July 2022 Amendment Agreement. On September 14, 2022, the Company and the Note Investor entered into a waiver (the “Waiver”) to permit, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the entry into a purchase agreement for Forever 8 Fund, LLC. Pursuant to the Waiver, the conversion price and exercise price of the Note and the Warrants, respectively, were voluntarily and irrevocably adjusted to equal $50.00, subject to further adjustment as set forth therein. As a result of the price adjustment feature, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and conversion of the Notes was increased upon the acquisition of Forever 8 Fund, LLC on October 1, 2022.

Pursuant to the Second Amendment Agreement, the conversion price of the balance of the January 2022 Note that remains outstanding was voluntarily adjusted to $10.00 per share of common stock. The Second Amendment Agreement grants the Company the right to redeem all or a portion of the outstanding amount of the January 2022 Note (the “Redemption Right”) upon 10 trading days’ notice provided that (i) no Equity Conditions Failure (as defined in the January 2022 Note) exists and (ii) the Company has sufficient resources to effect the redemption. The Redemption Right is subject to certain other restrictions contained in the Second Amendment Agreement. The Second Amendment Agreement provides that if Hudson Bay converts any portion of the January 2022 Note during the 10 consecutive trading day period starting on January 6, 2023 (the “Applicable Conversion Period”), Hudson Bay shall, on the first business day immediately following the end of the Applicable Conversion Period, release to the Company an amount of cash from the Control Account (as defined in the January 2022 Note) equal to 20% of the amount converted during the Applicable Conversion Period if the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the common stock on each trading day during the Applicable Conversion Period equals or exceeds $10.00 and there is no circumstance or event that would, with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice, result in a material default, material breach or event of default under any Transaction Document (as defined in the January 2022 Purchase Agreement). As a result of the voluntary adjustment to the conversion price of the January 2022 Note, the exercise price of the January 2022 Warrant was automatically adjusted to $10.00 per share of common stock and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the January 2022 Warrant (the “HB Warrant Shares”) was proportionately increased to 3,333,333 HB Warrant Shares. Pursuant to the Second Amendment Agreement, Hudson Bay agreed to waive the adjustment to the number of HB Warrant Shares issuable pursuant to the January 2022 Warrant to the extent such adjustment results in a number of HB Warrant Shares underlying the January 2022 Warrant exceeding 2,220,000. The Second Amendment Agreement provides that Hudson Bay (i) will not exercise Warrants to purchase more than an aggregate of 1,500,000 HB Warrant Shares until March 2, 2023, provided such limitation will be waived upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the January 2022 Note) or if the VWAP of the common stock on any trading day from January 6, 2023 until March 2, 2023 is less than $11.00 and (ii) will not exercise the January 2022 Warrant until (x) such time as the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the January 2022 Note is equal to or less than the amount remaining in the Control Account or (y) the occurrence of an Event of Default (the “HB Initial Exercisability Date”). However, Hudson Bay may exercise Warrants for up to 200,000 shares of common stock prior to the HB Initial Exercisability Date if the VWAP of the common stock on any trading day during the period starting on March 1, 2023 and ending on and including March 31, 2023 is less than $10.00. If the VWAP of the common stock on each trading day from January 6, 2023 through March 1, 2023, is greater than $11.00, Hudson Bay will forfeit the right to purchase 720,000 HB Warrant Shares pursuant to the January 2022 Warrant, provided that there is no circumstance or event that would, with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice, result in a material default, material breach or event of default under any Transaction Document. Additionally, the exercise price of the January 2022 Warrant was voluntarily further adjusted to $0.01 per share of common stock in lieu of the investors taking less warrant shares. The VWAP of the common stock, from January 6, 2023 through March 1, 2023, was below $11.00, as such Hudson Bay did not forfeit the 720,000 HB Warrant Shares. EIGHTCO HOLDINGS INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (Unaudited) 14. CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE (continued) The Second Amendment Agreement requires the Company to provide each stockholder entitled to vote at the next special or annual meeting of stockholders of the Company, which must be held not later than April 1, 2023, a proxy statement soliciting each such stockholder’s affirmative vote at the stockholder meeting for approving the increase of the authorized shares of common stock from 250,000,000 to 500,000,000 (“Stockholder Approval”). If despite the Company’s reasonable best efforts, the Stockholder Approval is not obtained on or prior to the Stockholder Meeting Deadline, the Company shall cause an additional stockholder meeting to be held every ninety (90) days thereafter until such Stockholder Approval is obtained. The warrants issued by the Company were modified to reduce the exercise price, which also increased the number of warrants to purchase common stock. The warrant modification expense of $43,344,150 was computed on the modification date using a per share price of $0.32 per share. The fair value was estimated using the Black Scholes option pricing models with the following assumptions:
|  | Dividend Yield |  |  | Expected Volatility |  |  | Risk-free Interest Rate |  |  | Expected Life |
Hudson Bay Warrant; as adjusted January 2023 |  |  | 0.00 | % |  |  | 142.28 | % |  |  | 4.10 | % |  |  | 2.5 years |
