As previously disclosed, on March 8, 2024, Calidi Biotherapeutics, Inc.

On March 28, 2024, the Company entered into the (i) first amendment to the First Note, and (ii) second amendment to the Second Note (collectively, the “Amendments”), pursuant to which the parties amended (A) the conversion price to mean the Initial Conversion Price (as defined in the 2024 Notes) until the one hundred and eightieth (180th) day from the issuance of the Convertible Notes and the Reset Conversion Price (as defined herein) thereafter; (B) the Reset Conversion Price to be 94.0% of the 10-day VWAP ending on the one hundred and eightieth (180th) day from the issuance of the 2024 Notes; (C) the terms relating to a mandatory conversion of the 2024 Notes to provide that in the event that we complete a financing (i) for at least $8 million in a registered offering or (ii) of at least $2 million with a non-affiliated purchaser at an effective price of at least 150% of the initial note conversion price, then the 2024 Notes will be subject to mandatory conversion on or after the Effective Registration Date (as defined in the 2024 Notes) at the lower of the then conversion price in effect and the effective price of the securities sold in the financing; and (D) the terms relating to certain demand registration rights to provide that the Company is required to file a registration statement within five business day after the one hundred and eightieth (180th) day from the issuance of the 2024 Notes.
