Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed, on August 26, 2022, a lawsuit entitled Lion Point Capital, L.P. v. BurgerFi International, Inc., Index No. 653099/2022 (the “Action”) was filed by Lion Point Capital, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Lion Point”), in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York against BurgerFi International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), alleging that the Company failed to timely register Lion Point’s shares in violation of the registration rights agreement to which Lion Point and the Company are parties. The Company and Lion Point have engaged in good-faith efforts to resolve the claim asserted in the Action and all other claims, counterclaims, and defenses that do or may exist between Lion Point, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand.

Without any admission as to fault, liability or wrongdoing or as to the validity of the other party’s positions, as a result of such efforts and in order to avoid the time, expense, and risks associated with continuing to litigate the Action, on July 23, 2024, the Company and Lion Point entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company and Lion Point agreed to resolve all claims, defenses, and counterclaims that do or may exist between Lion Point, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, as of, or prior to, the date of the Settlement Agreement that arise out of, or are in any way related to, in any matter whatsoever, the Action, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Settlement Agreement. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to (i) pay Lion Point $1,350,000 in installments in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Settlement Agreement, (ii) execute the Affidavit of Confession of Judgment, in substantially the form attached to the Settlement Agreement as Exhibit A thereto, and (iii) issue to Lion Point 300,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Shares”), in each case subject to terms and conditions set forth in the Settlement Agreement. The issuance of Preferred Shares to Lion Point, an accredited investor, was exempt from registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

The description of the Settlement Agreement included herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Settlement Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
