Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously disclosed, on June 30, 2025, Abacus Global Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), announced the commencement of an exchange
offer (the “Offer”) and consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”) for its outstanding (i) public warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“common stock”), which warrants trade on The Nasdaq
Capital Market (the “Nasdaq”) under the symbol “ABLLW” (the “public warrants”), and (ii) private placement warrants to purchase shares of common stock (the “private placement warrants” and, together with the public warrants, the “warrants”). The
Company offered to all holders of the warrants the opportunity to receive 0.23 shares of common stock in exchange for each outstanding warrant tendered by the holder and exchanged pursuant to the Offer. Concurrently with the Offer, the Company
solicited consents from holders of the warrants to amend the warrant agreement that governs all of the warrants (the “Warrant Agreement”) to permit the Company to require that each warrant that is outstanding upon the closing of the Offer be exchanged
for 0.207 shares of common stock, which is a ratio 10% less than the exchange ratio applicable to the Offer (such amendment, the “Warrant Amendment”).
The Offer and Consent Solicitation expired at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 29, 2025. The Company has been advised that 18,188,277 warrants (including 500
warrants tendered through guaranteed delivery), or approximately 88% of the outstanding warrants, were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer and Consent Solicitation. The Company expects to accept all validly
tendered warrants for exchange and settlement on or before July 30, 2025. In addition, pursuant to the Consent Solicitation, the Company received the approval of parties representing approximately 83% of the outstanding public warrants and
approximately 94% of the outstanding private placement warrants to enter into the Warrant Amendment, which exceeds the threshold of 50% of the outstanding public warrants required to effect the Warrant Amendment. Accordingly, the Company and
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company entered into the Warrant Amendment, dated July 30, 2025, and the Company announced that it expects to exercise its right, in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Amendment, to exchange each warrant
that is outstanding upon the closing of the Offer for 0.207 shares of common stock per warrant.
The foregoing description of the Warrant Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Warrant Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this
Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 3.03. Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders.
Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.07.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On July 30, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing the final results of the Offer and Consent Solicitation and the Company’s entry into the Warrant
Amendment. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
No Offer or Solicitation
This announcement is for informational purposes only and shall not constitute an offer to purchase or a solicitation of an offer to sell the warrants or an
offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any shares of common stock in any state in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful before registration or qualification under the laws of any such state. The Offer and Consent
Solicitation were made only through, and pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in, the Company’s Schedule TO, prospectus/offer to exchange, and related letter of transmittal, and the complete terms and conditions of the Offer and Consent
Solicitation are set forth in the Schedule TO, prospectus/offer to exchange, and related letter of transmittal.
A registration statement on Form S-4 filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) registering the common stock issuable in
the Offer and the Post-Offer Exchange was declared effective by the SEC on July 28, 2025.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements regarding the
expected acceptance by the Company of all validly tendered warrants for exchange, the closing of the Offer and Consent Solicitation, and the consummation of the Post-Offer Exchange. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words
“believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions, but the absence of these words
does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections, and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and
uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including, but not limited to those described under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the
Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4/A, filed July 15, 2025, as such factors may be updated from time to time in the Company’s periodic filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or
the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking
events and circumstances discussed in this Current Report on Form 8-K may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and we assume
no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. We do not give any assurance that we will achieve our expectations.
