| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On July 29, 2025, Bollinger Innovations, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Amendment and Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with certain investors (each individually a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to exchange certain outstanding senior secured convertible notes (the “Exchange Notes”) and warrants (the “Exchange Warrants”) previously issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreements, as may have been amended from time to time, dated May 14, 2024, January 23, 2025, February 5, 2025, March 6, 2025, May 16, 2025 and May 29, 2025 (each a “Securities Purchase Agreement” and collectively, the “Securities Purchase Agreements”). The Exchange Agreement provides for the exchange of the Exchange Notes and Exchange Warrants issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreements for newly authorized shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series F Preferred Stock”) and Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series G Preferred Stock,” and together with the Series F Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”), respectively.
Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Holders agreed to exchange (i) the Exchange Notes, with an aggregate principal and accrued interest of approximately $25.5 million for approximately 25,521 shares of Series F Preferred Stock (the “Series F Preferred Shares”) and (ii) the Exchange Warrants, exercisable (on a cash basis) for approximately 4.3 million shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) for approximately 109,219 shares of Series G Preferred Stock (the “Series G Preferred Shares” and together with the Series F Preferred Shares, the “Preferred Shares”). Upon closing of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, the Exchange Notes and Exchange Warrants were cancelled and the Holders relinquished all rights, title and interest in such securities.
The Exchange Agreement includes certain covenants, including, among others, that (i) the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the listing of its Common Stock on a stock exchange, (ii) while Preferred Shares remain outstanding, (A) during a certain 90 day period, the Company will not, with certain exceptions, offer or issue any equity or related securities, and (B) the Company will not, without approval from Holders of a majority of the outstanding Preferred Shares, issue any equity security having a preference over or party with the Preferred Shares with respect to dividends, liquidation or redemption or having a preference over the Common Stock with respect to dividends, liquidation or redemption, and the Company and its subsidiaries will not incur any indebtedness. The Company also agreed not to enter into any fundamental transaction, such as a merger, sale of more than 50% of the outstanding voting shares, sale of substantially all assets, or business combination, unless such transaction complies with the terms of the Certificates of Designations (as defined below in Item 5.03 of this Report). Additionally, the Exchange Agreement amended each of the Transaction Documents (as defined in each Securities Purchase Agreement) to incorporate the Series F Preferred Stock and Series G Preferred Stock. The Exchange Agreement contains customary representations and warranties between the Company and the Holders.
If, upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, the Company fails to timely issue the shares of Common Stock, then, at the sole discretion of the Holder, the Company will pay in cash to such Holder on each trading day after the delivery date an amount equal to 1% of the product of the number of shares of Common Stock not so delivered multiplied by the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such delivery date.
This description of the Exchange Agreement and the transactions related thereto does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Exchange Agreement filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
| Item 1.02. | Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement. |
The information set forth above with respect to the cancellation of the Exchange Notes and the Exchange Warrants in Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference.

| Item 3.02 | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities. |
The information set forth above in Item 1.01 and below in Item 5.03 is incorporated herein by reference. The issuance of the Series F Preferred Stock and Series G Preferred Stock, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof, was made in reliance upon the exemptions from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, because it involves an exchange with the Company’s exchange security holders exclusively where no commission or other remuneration is paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exchange and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D, because, among other things, the transaction did not involve a public offering and the investors represented that they are accredited investors.
| Item 5.03 | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
The information set forth above in Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference.

A “Triggering Event” includes, but is not limited to: (i) failure to maintain sufficient reserves of authorized Common Stock; (ii) the Company’s failure to deliver shares of Common Stock upon conversion, or notice of the Company’s intention not to comply with a request for conversion of any Series F Preferred Stock; (iii) failure to declare or pay any dividend when due; (iv) the occurrence of any default under, redemption of or acceleration prior to maturity in an aggregate amount in excess of $300,000 of indebtedness (as described in the Series F Certificate of Designations) of the Company or any subsidiary; (v) failure to maintain the listing of its Common Stock on a stock exchange; (vi) failure to file annual or quarterly reports within the required periods; (vii) bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company; and (viii) breach of any representation or warranty when made, or any covenant or other term or condition of any Transaction Document.
