Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On October 20, 2022, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, Instant Fame LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Instant”), acquired an aggregate of 385,000 shares of common stock of Bannix Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) from Bannix Management LLP (the “Sponsor”), Balaji Venugopal Bhat, Nicholos Hellyer, Subbanarasimhaiah Arun, Vishant Vora and Suresh Yezhuvath and 90,000 private placement units from Suresh Yezhuvath (collectively, the “Sellers”) in a private transaction. The Sellers immediately loaned the entire proceeds to the Company for the working capital requirements of the Company. This loan will be forfeited by the Sellers upon liquidation or business combination. In connection with this transaction, all parties agreed that there will be certain changes to the Board of Directors.

On December 13, 2022, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) in favor of Instant, in the principal amount of $690,000. The proceeds of the Note were utilized by the Company to obtain the first three-month extension of the period for the Company to consummate a business combination. The Note does not bear interest and matures upon closing of a business combination by the Company. If the Company fails to consummate a business combination, the outstanding debt under the Note will be forgiven, except to the extent of any funds held outside of the Company's trust account after paying all other fees and expenses of the Company. The summary of the Note is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Note, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On December 8, 2022, the Company issued a press release announcing its intent to obtain the first three-month extension to complete a business combination from December 14, 2022 to March 14, 2023. A copy of the press release is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1.
