Item 1.01

Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
|
On May 27 2020, StoneMor Inc. (the Company) entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the Purchase
Agreement) with Axar Capital Management, LP (Axar), the accounts managed by Axar set forth on Schedule B thereto and one or more accounts managed by Axar to be designated by it (collectively, the Purchasers) pursuant to
which the Company agreed to sell an aggregate of 23,287,672 shares of its Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Common Shares) to the Purchasers at a price of $0.73 per share, an aggregate of $17.0 million. As previously
reported, on April 1, 2020, the Company and Axar had entered into a letter agreement (the Axar Commitment) pursuant to which (a) Axar agreed to purchase 176 shares of the Companys Series A Preferred Stock (the
Preferred Shares) for an aggregate purchase price of $8.8 million, (b) the Company agreed to conduct a rights offering pursuant which it would distribute purchase rights to its stockholders which would represent the right to
purchase shares of common stock at a price equal to $0.73 per share and with aggregate gross proceeds of not less than $17.0 million, (c) Axar agreed to exercise its pro rata share of such rights in full (the Basic Rights) and
to tender the Preferred Shares in payment of the subscription price therefor and (d) Axar further agreed to purchase for cash such additional shares of common stock offered in the Rights Offering for which stockholders other than Axar did not
exercise their subscription rights, including any oversubscription rights, provided that Axar would not be obligated to purchase more than 23,287,672 shares of common stock. Because the Companys common stock has been trading at a price less
than the $0.73 subscription price, the Companys Board of Directors determined and Axar agreed in the Purchase Agreement to amend the Axar Commitment to provide for a direct purchase of the 23,287,672 shares of common stock and avoid the
expense of proceeding with the Rights Offering while obtaining the same per share and aggregate purchase price contemplated by the Axar Commitment. The $17.0 million purchase price will be paid by delivering the Preferred Shares purchased on
April 3, 2020 and paying an additional cash purchase price of $8.2 million. The Company expects the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement to close in June 2020.
The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by
reference to, the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is hereby incorporated herein by reference

Regulation FD Disclosure.

Proposal), dated May 24, 2020, from Axar proposing to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company not owned by Axar or its affiliates in a going-private transaction for $0.67 per share in cash,
subject to certain conditions. The press release also discussed the execution of the Purchase Agreement described in Item 1.01 hereof. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
