Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 16, 2020, MusclePharm Corporation (“MusclePharm”) entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Agreement”) with Excelsior Nutrition, Inc. (“4Excelsior”), pursuant to which the parties resolved and settled a civil action pending in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles (the “Litigation”). MusclePharm and 4Excelsior agreed to a mutual general release of claims and to jointly file within 10 business days of the effective date of the Agreement a stipulation and proposed order of dismissal, dismissing with prejudice all claims and counterclaims asserted in the Litigation. MusclePharm agreed to pay $4.75 million (the “Settlement Amount”) in four monthly payments of $70,000, beginning January 5, 2021, and thereafter in monthly payments of $100,000 until the Settlement Amount is fully paid. MusclePharm may prepay all or any portion of the Settlement Amount at any time without penalty or premium. The Agreement provides that, in the event of a Default (as defined in the Agreement) by MusclePharm, the entire outstanding balance of the Settlement Amount will become immediately due and payable, plus accrued interest at a rate of 18% per annum, commencing from the date of Default.
