Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 12, 2024, Inspire Veterinary Partners, Inc. (the “Company”) closed a “best efforts” public offering for the sale by the Company of an aggregate of 6,000,000 units (the “Units”), at an offering price of $1.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of either one share of the Company's Class A common stock, $0.001 par value per share, or one pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of the Company's Class A common stock (“Pre-Funded Warrant”) and one warrant to purchase one share of the Company's Class A common stock (“Warrant”).

The Units have no stand-alone rights and will not be certificated or issued as stand-alone securities and the components of the Units will be immediately separable and will be issued separately in the offering.

The Warrants have an exercise price of $1.00 and are exercisable for a period of six months commencing upon issuance. The Pre-Funded Warrants are issuable to purchasers in lieu of shares of Class A common stock that would otherwise result in such purchaser's beneficial ownership exceeding 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of the Company's outstanding Class A common stock, if any such purchaser so chooses. Each Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable at any time to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share.

The shares of Class A common stock, Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants under the offering were sold pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with certain investors. Spartan Capital Securities, LLC, (“Spartan”) acted as the sole placement agent for the offering and received a fee of 8% of the gross proceeds and reimbursement of $60,000 in non-accountable expenses and $125,000 of legal fees and out-of-pocket expenses, pursuant to a letter of engagement between the Company and Spartan.

Gross proceeds from the offering, before deducting the placement agent's fees and other offering expenses, were approximately $6.0 million. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the offering for working capital, general corporate purposes, payments to a third-party marketing agency for services related to marketing and advertising, strategic investments, and any additional future acquisition (if any).

The securities were offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333- 280194), as amended, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 2, 2024.

Item 8.01 Other Events.
