Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 15, 2023, JanOne Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it had entered into an agreement to dispose of three of its subsidiaries. The following day (March 16, 2023), the Company and the prospective purchaser of the subsidiaries determined that certain fundamental transaction issues in respect of the announced disposition remained open and that, therefore, the Company could not have consummated the transactions contemplated by the agreement, which agreement, at that time, also did not bind the Company. Nevertheless, the Company retains its expectation that it will become a “pure biopharma” enterprise. In that regard, the Company has undertaken a series of steps in anticipation of effectuating such a potential disposition, the economic terms of which the Company anticipates may be as or more favorable than the terms of the unenforceable transaction.
Forward- Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, as amended, including those relating to the consummation of the Disposition Transaction and other statements that are predictive in nature. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about the industry and markets in which we operate and management’s current beliefs and assumptions.

These statements relate to future events or our financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include those set forth in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Current Report.
