Management, License and Maintenance Fees Under the KR8 Agreement
On October 29, 2023, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement with KR8 to develop a Direct-to-Consumer APP (iOS and Android) combining its AI Machine Learning technology to provide a commercial application of FOXO’s epigenetic biomarker technology as a subscription consumer engagement platform. Effective January 12, 2024, the Letter Agreement was replaced with the Master Software and Services Agreement between the Licensor and the Company (the “KR8 Agreement”). The Company’s Director, Mark White, and Interim CFO, Martin Ward, each are equity owners of the Licensor. Under the KR8 Agreement, the Licensor granted to the Company a limited, non-sublicensable, non-transferable perpetual license to use the “Licensor Products,” which are listed in Exhibit A to the KR8 Agreement, to develop, launch and maintain license applications based upon the Company’s epigenetic biomarker technology and software to develop an AI machine learning Epigenetic APP to enhance health, wellness and longevity. The territory of the KR8 Agreement is solely within the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
Under the KR8 Agreement, the Company agreed to pay to the Licensor an initial license and development fee of $2.5 million, a monthly maintenance fee of $50,000 and an ongoing royalty equal to 15% of “Subscriber Revenues,” as defined in the KR8 Agreement, in accordance with the terms and subject to the minimums set forth in the schedules of the KR8 Agreement. The Company agreed to reimburse the Licensor for all reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the performance of the services under the KR8 Agreement, in addition to payment of any applicable hourly rates. If the Company failed to timely pay the “Minimum Royalty,” as defined in the KR8 Agreement, due with respect to any calendar year, the License would become non-exclusive. (Payments of certain of these amounts in cash were restricted by the terms of a legal settlement agreement, which is more fully discussed in Note 14 under the heading, “Smithline Family Trust II vs. FOXO Technologies Inc. and Jon Sabes.”)
The Company could terminate the KR8 Agreement at any time upon 90 days’ notice to the Licensor provided that, as a condition to such termination, the Company immediately ceases using any Licensor Products. The Licensor could terminate the KR8 Agreement at any time upon 30 days’ notice to the Company if the Company failed to pay any portion of the “Initial License Fee,” as defined in the KR8 Agreement.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, under the terms of the KR8 Agreement, the Company issued 0.4 million and it accrued $2.1 million for the initial license and development fee. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded $250,000 for maintenance fees and minimum royalties under the KR8 Agreement.

On December 6, 2024, the Company entered into a termination agreement (the “KR8 Termination Agreement”) with KR8 pursuant to which 1,000 per share were issued to KR8 as full and final satisfaction of the $3.0 million owed to KR8 and the KR8 Agreement was terminated. The shares of Series D Preferred Stock also satisfied $0.1 million owed to Mr. White under the Services Agreement discussed below. Effective December 6, 2025, the Company and KR8 entered into Amendment No. 1 to the KR8 Termination Agreement, which clarified that the KR8 Termination Agreement did not terminate the use of the Licensor Products.

Services Agreement with Former Interim CEO
On July 25, 2024, the Company entered into a new Services Agreement with Mr. White that superseded the interim employment agreement (the “Services Agreement”). The initial term of the Services Agreement was until July 31, 2026. Pursuant to the Services Agreement, Mr. White was entitled to monthly fees of $30,000, which could be converted into equity at the option of both Mr. White and the Company. Mr. White was entitled to full and prompt reimbursement of all expenses incurred in connection with his service as an officer of the Company and a monthly reimbursement for the cost of leasing and insuring a vehicle with a fair market value not in excess of $80,000. No later than 30 days after the date of the Services Agreement, Mr. White was to be issued shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. Issuance of the shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred to Mr. White was delayed as the issuance required shareholder approval.
On December 5, 2024, the Company entered into a Termination of Employment, Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement (the “White Termination Agreement”) pursuant to which the Services Agreement was terminated. The agreement provided for the following:
