Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Amended
Forbearance Agreement
On
November 29, 2021, EBET, Inc. (the “Company”) and the subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantors”) entered a
credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with CP BF Lending, LLC (“Lender”), pursuant to which the Lender agreed
to make a single loan to the Company in the original amount of $30,000,000 (the “Loan”). The Loan required the Company to
maintain certain minimum liquidity and other financial and other covenants. As previously disclosed, the Company has received multiple
waivers from the Lender in the past with respect to such covenants with the final waiver expiring on June 30, 2023.
On
June 30, 2023, the Company, the subsidiaries of the Company and the Lender entered into a forbearance agreement (the “Forbearance
Agreement”). Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, the Company acknowledged, among other items, that, as June 30, 2023, it was
in default under the Credit Agreement, the Lender had the right to accelerate the Loan, and the Lender had the right to impose the default
rate of interest under the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, the Lender agreed to forbear from exercising its rights
and remedies against the Company and the Guarantors under the Credit Documents until September 15, 2023 (the “Forbearance Date”).
On September 15, 2023, the Company, the subsidiaries of the Company and the Lender entered into an amendment number 1 to the Forbearance
Agreement (the “Forbearance Amendment No. 1”). The Forbearance Amendment No. 1 extended the Forbearance Date from September
15, 2023 until October 31, 2023.
On
October 1, 2023, the Company, the subsidiaries of the Company and the Lender entered into an amendment number 2 to the Forbearance Agreement
(the “Forbearance Amendment No. 2”). The Forbearance Amendment No. 2 extended the Forbearance Date from October 31, 2023 until
June 30, 2025, and provides that instead of interest being payable monthly in cash, such interest shall accrue in arrears and can be added
to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan. The interest rate on the Loan and the Revolving Loan was increased to 16.5% per annum.
The Forbearance Amendment No. 2 further adds that the Company’s suspension from trading or failure to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital
Market for more than 30 calendar days will constitute a Termination Event under the Forbearance Agreement as amended. Pursuant to Forbearance
Amendment No. 2, the Company agreed that to the extent it receives net proceeds from or in connection with a judgment, settlement or other
in or out of court resolution of a commercial tort claim, the Company will: (i) make a prepayment on the Loan or the Revolving Loan (discussed
below) of 100% of such net proceeds; and (ii) make an additional payment to the Lender equal to 5% of any such net proceeds (prior to
the payments set forth in subsection (i)) in excess of $50.0 million. Upon the execution of the Forbearance Amendment No. 2, the principal
amount of the Loan is $26,384,634.66.
Revolving
Loan
In
connection with the Forbearance Agreement, the Lender agreed to provide the Company with a revolving loan in the amount not to exceed
$2.0 million (the “Revolving Loan”), with any advances under the Revolving Loan to be made in the sole discretion of the Lender.
On September 29, 2023, the Lender agreed to increase the maximum available amount of the Revolving Loan to $4.0 million. The Company paid
Lender a fee of $40,000 in connection with the increase. The Revolving Loan carries an interest rate of 16.5% per annum, provided that
upon an occurrence of default the interest rate will increase to the default rate under the Loan. The interest on the Revolving Loan shall
accrue in arrears and can be added to the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan. The Revolving Loan is an Obligation as
defined in the Credit Agreement and as such is secured by the collateral in which the Borrower and the Guarantors have granted liens and
security interests to the Lender in connection with the Loan. All discretionary advances shall terminate automatically and all outstanding
principal together with accrued but unpaid interest and fees shall become immediately due and payable, without notice to or action by
any party, on the earlier of the termination date of the Forbearance Agreement, or the maturity date of the Revolving Note, unless otherwise
extended by the Lender. As of the date of the Forbearance Amendment No. 2, the principal amount of the Revolving Note is $1,690,744.58.
The
summaries of the of Forbearance Agreement, Forbearance Amendment No. 1, Forbearance Amendment No. 2, and the Revolving Loan do not purport
to be complete and are qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, copies of which are attached hereto

Item 3.02. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities. |
On October 2, 2023, the Company
entered into an amended and restated note conversion option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with the Lender. Pursuant to
the Option, the Company agreed that Lender have the right to convert any amounts due pursuant to the Loan and the Revolving Loan into
shares of Company common stock at a conversion price of $1.25 per share with respect to the initial $5.0 million and at a conversion price
of $2.50 per share with respect to the remaining amounts. In addition, the Company agreed to file a registration statement registering
the resale of the shares of Company common stock underlying the Loan within 45 days of the date of the Option and to use its commercially
reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective within 120 days of the date of the Option.
The Option Agreement provides
that the Lender (together with its affiliates) may not convert any portion of the Loan or Revolving Loan during an initial 45-day lockup
or to the extent that the Lender would own more than 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock immediately after exercise,
except that upon prior notice from the Lender to the Company, the Lender may increase or decrease the amount of ownership of outstanding
stock after conversion of the Loan, provided that any modification will not be effective until 61 days following notice to the Company.
Any shares of Company common
stock issued to Lender pursuant to this Option will be issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D thereunder.
The
summary of the of Option Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the
Option Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.03. |
Material Modifications of Rights of Security Holders. |
To
the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, the information contained in Item 5.03 herein is incorporated by reference into this Item
3.03.
Item 5.03. |
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change
in Fiscal Year. |
At
the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders completed on July 26, 2023, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to
the Company’s amended and restated articles of incorporation (the “Amendment”) to effect the reverse stock split at
a ratio in the range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-30, with such ratio to be determined in the discretion of the Company’s board of directors
and with such reverse stock split to be effected at such time and date, if at all, as determined by the Company’s board of directors
in its sole discretion prior to the one-year anniversary of the annual meeting.
Pursuant
to such authority granted by the Company’s stockholders, the Company’s board of directors approved a one-for-thirty (1:30)
reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s common stock and the filing of the Amendment to effectuate
the Reverse Stock Split. The Amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada and the Reverse Stock Split became
effective in accordance with the terms of the Amendment at 4:01 p.m. Eastern Time on September 29, 2023 (the “Effective Time”).
The Amendment provides that, at the Effective Time, every thirty shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock will
automatically be combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, without any change in par value per share, which will
remain $0.001.
As
a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of shares of common stock outstanding will be reduced from approximately 448.2 million
shares as of September 29, 2023 to approximately 14.9 million shares, and the number of authorized shares of common stock will remain
at 500 million shares. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, proportionate adjustments will be made to the per share exercise price
and/or the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or vesting of all outstanding stock options and warrants, which will result in
a proportional decrease in the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise or vesting of
such stock options and warrants, and a proportional increase in the exercise price of all such stock options and warrants. In addition,
the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Company’s equity compensation plan immediately prior to the Effective Time
will be reduced proportionately.
No
fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders of record who would otherwise be entitled to receive
a fractional share will be entitled to the rounding up of the fractional share to the nearest whole number. The Reverse Stock Split became
effective at 4:01 p.m., Eastern Time, on September 29, 2023, and the Company’s common stock is expected to begin trading on a Reverse
Stock Split-adjusted basis on The Nasdaq Capital Market at the open of the markets on October 2, 2023. The trading symbol for the common
stock will remain “EBET.” The Company’s post-Reverse Stock Split common stock has a new CUSIP number (CUSIP No. 278700
208), but the par value and other terms of the common stock are not affected by the Reverse Stock Split.
The
summary of the of Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment,
a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
On
September 29, 2023, the Company issued a press release to announce that today it filed a certificate of amendment to its articles of incorporation
with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to effect a 1-for-30 reverse stock split of its common stock. A copy of the press release
is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
The table below sets forth the impact of the Reverse
Stock Split on the Company’s net loss per common share – basic and diluted; weighted average common shares outstanding –
basic and diluted; and shares issued and outstanding, for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021; the three months ended June 30,

Note, commencing as of the date hereof, the Loan and the Revolving Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof through

on the Loan shall accrue in arrears and be added to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan on the first calendar day of each calendar
month, and the principal amount of the Loan shall be increased by such PIK Interest amount for all purposes under the Credit Documents.
All PIK Interest on the Revolving Loan shall accrue in arrears and shall be an advance under the Revolving Loan and added to the outstanding
principal balance of the Revolving Loan on the first calendar day of each calendar month. The principal amount of the Revolving Loan shall
be increased by such PIK Interest amount for all purposes under the Credit Documents but at no time shall the outstanding principal amount
of the Revolving Loan exceed FOUR MILLION DOLLARS and 00/100 CENTS ($4,000,000.00) All accrued but unpaid interest on the Loan
and on the Revolving Loan shall be due and payable in full on the earlier of (i) any date of any prepayment of the Loan or the Revolving
Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid, and (ii) the Maturity Date.
8. Covenants.
a. Mandatory Prepayment.
The Borrower agrees that to the extent that it is entitled to receive, and either directly or indirectly through a third party at any
time receives proceeds (net of costs, expenses and other amounts due to any litigation funder approved by the Lender (“Net Proceeds”)),
which Net Proceeds arise from or are in connection with a judgment, settlement or other in or out of court resolution of the Commercial
Tort Claim identified in the Security Agreement as amended by this Agreement, then upon receipt of such Net Proceeds, the Borrower shall
pay or shall cause any third party in possession of the Net Proceeds to pay to the Lender, as a mandatory prepayment under Section 2.8(e)
of the Credit Agreement together with all other amounts due to the Lender at the time a mandatory prepayment is made, one hundred percent
(100%) of the Net Proceeds to be applied to the then existing Loan amount balance due, the Revolving Loan balance due and any other outstanding
Obligations then due to the Lender.
b. Additional Consideration.
As additional consideration for the Lender’s agreement to forbear which additional consideration is fully earned as of the date
hereof, the Borrower agrees that to the extent that it is entitled to receive, and either directly or indirectly through a third party
at any time receives Net Proceeds, then upon receipt of such Net Proceeds, the Borrower shall pay or shall cause any third party in possession
of the Net Proceeds to pay to the Lender an amount equal to five percent (5.0%) of the Net Proceeds amount which is in excess of FIFTY
MILLION DOLLARS and 00/100 CENTS (US$50,000,000.00) (the “Additional Consideration”). The calculation of the Additional
Consideration shall be based upon the full amount of Net Proceeds received prior to any mandatory prepayment made under Section 8(a).
of this Agreement and Section 2.8(e) of the Credit Agreement. Borrower agrees that the Net Proceeds are proceeds of the Commercial Tort
Claim identified in the Security Agreement and the Borrower reaffirms and ratifies its grant of a security interest to the Lender in such
Commercial Tort Claim and the proceeds thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Additional Consideration is in addition to all payments
due and owing with respect to the Loan and Revolving Loan and the Borrower is obligated to make such Additional Consideration payment
regardless of whether and when the Loan and/or the Revolving Loan and any other Obligations other than the Additional Consideration have
been paid in full. Payment of the Additional Consideration is a material requirement of Lender in order to induce the Lender to enter
into this Agreement. The Borrower’s obligation to pay the Additional Consideration shall survive the Termination Date, is an “Obligation”
under the Credit Agreement, and the Lender shall not be obligated to release or terminate its security interest in the Net Proceeds until
the Additional Consideration is paid in full.
c. Malta Lien. To the
extent the Lender determines at any time and in its sole discretion that additional actions are required to secure by the Lien on all
Collateral granted by Karamba Limited under the laws of Malta, amounts in excess of the original principal amount of the Loan or the Revolving
Loan resulting from the accrual of PIK Interest, the Borrower shall fully cooperate with the Lender to assure that such Lien is extended
to secure amounts in excess of the original principal amount of the Loan.
9. Reaffirmation of
Loan Balance. The Borrower confirms that, as of the date hereof, upon giving effect to this Agreement, it is indebted to the Lender
in respect of the Loan in the principal amount of TWENTY-SIX MILLION THREE HUNDRED EIGHTY-FOUR THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED THIRTY-FOUR DOLLARS
and 66/100 CENTS (US$26,384,634.66), together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon (including PIK Interest), and in respect of
the Revolving Loan in the principal amount of ONE MILLION SIX HUNDRED NINETY THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED FORTY-FOUR DOLLARS and 58/100 CENTS
(US$1,690,744.58), together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon, together with all fees, costs, expenses and other charges due
and owing by the Borrower under the Credit Documents and that all such amounts are unconditionally owing by the Borrower to the Lender,
without offset, defense or counterclaim of any kind, nature or description whatsoever.
10. Credit Documents.

like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in the other Credit Documents to the Credit Agreement, “thereunder”,
“thereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the Credit Agreement as modified
by this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any default by the Borrower or any Guarantor under the terms of this Agreement shall constitute
an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement.
11. Governing Law, Jurisdiction,
Counterparts, Jury Trial Waiver Confidentiality. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of
New York without reference to its conflicts of law principles (other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law). The

and shall apply mutatis mutandis.
12. Effect on Credit Documents.
The Credit Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents shall be and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective
terms and are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement shall not operate,
except as expressly set forth herein, as a modification or waiver of any right, power, or remedy of the Lender under the Credit Agreement,
or any other Credit Document. The amendments contained in this Agreement are limited to the specifics hereof, shall not apply with respect
to any facts or occurrences other than those on which the same are based, shall not excuse future non-compliance by the Borrower or any
Guarantor with respect to any Credit Document to which it is a party, and shall not operate as a waiver or forbearance to any further
or other matter under the Credit Documents. Each Credit Party hereby ratifies and reaffirms (i) the validity, legality and enforceability
of the Credit Documents; (ii) that its reaffirmation of the Credit Documents is a material inducement to the Lender to enter into this
Agreement; and (iii) that its obligations under the Credit Documents shall remain in full force and effect until all the Obligations have
been paid in full. Guarantors expressly agree that the Guaranty of each extends to all Obligations under the Credit Documents, including
Obligations under the Revolving Note and this Agreement. The Borrower and each Credit Party represents and warrants that the representations
and warranties contained in this Agreement, Credit Agreement and in the other Credit Documents are true and correct in all material respects
(except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified
by materiality in the text thereof), except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date,
in which case such representations and warranties were true and correct on and as of such earlier date.
13. Successors and Assigns.
This Agreement binds and benefits the respective successors and assigns of the parties, except that neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor
may assign or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Lender. The Lender
may assign all or a portion of all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement.
14. No Amendment. Any
amendment, or waiver of, or any consent given under, any provision of this Agreement shall be in writing and, in the case of any amendment,
signed by the parties or their permitted successors and assigns.
15. Entire Agreement.

matter herein, and all prior negotiations, representations, understandings, writings and statements of any nature with respect thereto
are hereby superseded in their entirety by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.
16. Further Assurances.
The Borrower and each Guarantor shall execute and deliver any and all reasonable additional documents, agreements and instruments, and
take such additional reasonable action (including the filing and recording of financing statements) as may be reasonably requested by
the Lender, without payment of further consideration, to effectuate the intent and purpose of this Agreement and consistent with the provisions
of, and limitations contained in, the Credit Documents. The Borrower and each Guarantor agree to cooperate with, and shall cause their
Subsidiaries and their advisors to cooperate with, any financial advisors or appraisers that may from time to time be retained by or on
behalf of the Lender, including, without limitation, providing reasonable access (upon reasonable advance notice) to their premises, personnel
and books and records.
17. Advice of Counsel.
Each Credit Party has freely and voluntarily entered into this Agreement with the advice of legal counsel of its choosing, or has knowingly
waived the right to do so.
18. Reimbursement of Costs
and Expenses. Each Credit Party agrees to pay all costs, fees and expenses of the Lender (including attorneys' fees), expended or
incurred by the Lender in connection with the negotiation, preparation, administration and enforcement of this Agreement, the Credit Documents,
the Obligations, any of the Collateral and all fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding

in any way limiting the foregoing, each Credit Party hereby reaffirms its agreement under the applicable Credit Documents to pay or reimburse
the Lender for certain costs and expenses incurred by the Lender. The Credit Parties are jointly and severally liable for their obligations
under this Section 18.

Exhibit 99.1
EBET Announces Reverse Stock Split
LAS VEGAS, September 29, 2023 -- EBET, Inc., (Nasdaq:
EBET) a leading global provider of advanced wagering products and technology, announced, today announced that it filed an amendment to
articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to effect a 1-for-30 reverse stock split of its common stock.
The reverse stock split will take effect at 4:01 pm (Eastern Time) on September 29, 2023, and the Company’s common stock will open
for trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on October 2, 2023 on a post-split basis, under the existing ticker symbol “EBET”
but with a new CUSIP number 278700 208.
As a result of the reverse stock split, every
30 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding prior to the opening of trading on October 2, 2023 will be consolidated
into one issued and outstanding share, with no change in the nominal par value per share of $0.001. No fractional shares will be issued
as a result of the reverse stock split. Stockholders of record who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share will be entitled
to the rounding up of the fractional share to the nearest whole number.
As a result of the reverse stock split, the number
of shares of common stock outstanding will be reduced from approximately 448.2 million shares to approximately 14.9 million shares, and
the number of authorized shares of common stock will remain at 500 million shares. As a result of the reverse stock split, proportionate
adjustments will be made to the per share exercise price and/or the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or vesting of all outstanding
stock options and warrants, which will result in a proportional decrease in the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved
for issuance upon exercise or vesting of such stock options and warrants, and a proportional increase in the exercise price of all such
stock options and warrants. In addition, the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Company’s equity compensation plan
immediately prior to the reverse stock split will be reduced proportionately.
