Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 5, 2025, Cyngn Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Aegis Capital Corp. (the “Agent”), under which the Company may, from time to time, sell shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $100,000,000 in “at the market” offerings through or to the Agent, as sales agent or principal. Sales of the shares of common stock, if any, will be made at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, or as otherwise agreed with the Agent. The Agent will receive a commission from the Company of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds of any shares of common stock sold under the Sales Agreement.

The Company is not obligated to sell, and the Agent is not obligated to buy or sell, any shares of common stock under the Sales Agreement. No assurance can be given that the Company will sell any shares of common stock under the Sales Agreement, or, if it does, as to the price or amount of shares of common stock that it sells or the dates when such sales will take place.

Pursuant to the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Company agreed to indemnify the Agent against certain liabilities, including under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or to contribute to payments that the Agent may be required to make because of such liabilities. The Company and the Agent may each terminate the Sales Agreement as provided in the Sales Agreement.

The shares will be issued pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-290079), including the Sales Agreement prospectus contained therein, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 5, 2025 (the “Registration Statement”), once the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC. A copy of the Sales Agreement is attached as Exhibit 1.1 to the Registration Statement and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Sales Agreement was filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Registration Statement. The description of the material terms of the Sales Agreement above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Sales Agreement filed as Exhibit 1.2 to the Registration Statement.

A copy of the opinion of Sichenzia Ross Ference Carmel LLP relating to the validity of the shares of common stock that may be sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement was filed with the Registration Statement as Exhibit 5.2.
