Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Securities Purchase Agreement
On March 23, 2026, Empery Digital Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors named on the signature page thereto, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”) 2,558,422 shares (the “Shares”) of its common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Common Stock”), at a purchase price of $5.39 per share, pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 2,079,797 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) with $5.38999 of the exercise price per Pre-Funded Warrant being pre-funded at closing, and accompanying common stock warrants to purchase up to 4,638,219 shares of Common Stock (the “Common Warrants” and, together with the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Warrants”) with an exercise price of $6.27 per Common Warrant. The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about March 24, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.
The gross proceeds to the Company from the Offering are expected to be approximately $25 million before deducting estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.
The Offering was made pursuant to that certain Registration Statement on Form S-3ASR, as amended (File No. 333-290374), which was originally filed on September 19, 2025, including the prospectus contained therein. The Company will file a prospectus supplement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) relating to the Offering.
The Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, and indemnification obligations of the Company. Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company and each of its directors and executive officers has agreed, subject to certain exceptions, to lock-up restrictions as set forth in the lock-up agreements entered into in connection with the Offering. In addition, the Securities Purchase Agreement contains a prohibition on additional issuances of equity or equity-linked securities until 30 days following the closing of the Offering, subject to certain exceptions.
Pre-Funded Warrants
The unfunded exercise price of each Pre-Funded Warrant will equal $0.00001 per underlying share of Common Stock. The exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Pre-Funded Warrant is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, or similar events affecting the Common Stock. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable in cash or by means of a cashless exercise and will not expire until the date the Pre-Funded Warrants are fully exercised. The Pre-Funded Warrants may not be exercised if the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder thereof (together with its affiliates) immediately following such exercise would exceed a specified beneficial ownership limitation; provided, however, that a holder may increase or decrease the beneficial ownership limitation by giving notice to the Company (61 days’ notice for increases), but not to any percentage in excess of 9.99%.
Common Warrants
The Common Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance at an initial exercise price of $6.27 per underlying share of Common Stock (representing 120% of the net asset value per share of Common Stock as of March 23, 2026). The exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Common Warrant is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, or similar events affecting the Common Stock. The Common Warrants are exercisable in cash or by means of a cashless exercise and will expire on the date that is four years following the original issuance date. The Common Warrants may not be exercised if the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder thereof (together with its affiliates) immediately following such exercise would exceed a specified beneficial ownership limitation; provided, however, that a holder may increase or decrease the beneficial ownership limitation by giving notice to the Company (61 days’ notice for increases), but not to any percentage in excess of 9.99%.

The Company shall use best efforts to keep a registration statement registering the issuance or resale of the shares underlying the Warrants effective during the terms of the Warrants.
The foregoing summaries of the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Common Warrants and the Securities Purchase Agreement do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, copies of such documents attached as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2 and 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which are incorporated by reference herein. A copy of the opinion of Ropes & Gray LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the Shares, Pre-Funded Warrants and Common Warrants is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.
Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
In connection with the approval of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and prior to the Purchaser becoming an “Acquiring Person” under the Rights Agreement described below, the Board of Directors of the Company determined that the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement, including the issuance and sale of the securities thereunder, constitute an “Exempt Transaction” under that certain Rights Agreement, dated as of February 3, 2026, by and between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as rights agent (the “Rights Agreement”). As a result of that determination, neither the execution, delivery or performance of the Securities Purchase Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby will cause the Purchaser to become an “Acquiring Person” under the Rights Agreement or otherwise trigger the rights thereunder.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On March 23, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing the Offering and updating its share repurchases through March 20, 2026. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated into this Item 7.01 by reference. The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 attached hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
