Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 28, 2026, LogicMark, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor (the “Investor”) to offer and sell 250,000 shares of the Company’s Series J Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Series J Preferred Shares”), at a purchase price of $1.00 per Series J Preferred Share (the “Preferred Offering”), which are convertible by the Investor into shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) issuable from time to time (the “Conversion Shares”), pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series J Preferred Shares (the “Certificate of Designation”). The Preferred Offering closed on July 30, 2026.
Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, each Series J Preferred Share has a stated value equal to $1.28 and is convertible, at the option of the Investor at any time after October 30, 2026, subject to an initial 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation provision (which may be increased to 9.99% upon 61 days’ prior notice), into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to 50% of the lowest traded price during the thirty (30) trading days immediately prior to the Investor’s delivery of a conversion notice. Each Series J Preferred Share grants its holder the right to two (2) votes and votes together with all holders of Common Stock together as a single class on all actions to be taken by the shareholders of the Company. No dividends are payable on the Series J Preferred Shares. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, the holders are entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company the greater of the following amounts: (a) the aggregate Stated Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) of the Series J Preferred Shares; or (b) the amount the holder would be entitled to receive if the Series J Preferred Shares were fully converted into Common Stock. The Series J Preferred Shares, with respect to dividend, redemption rights, rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, rank senior to the Common Stock and junior to the Company’s Series C non-convertible voting preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share.
Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, on October 30, 2026, holders will have a one-time right to require the Company to redeem the Series J Preferred Shares for cash for their Stated Value, and the Company may repurchase the Series J Preferred Shares for the same amount prior to such date. In connection with certain fundamental transactions, the Series J Preferred Shares will automatically convert into Common Stock and the holders are entitled to a make-whole payment if the aggregate transaction consideration received is less than $320,000, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Certificate of Designation.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties thereto, and also contains customary conditions to closing, termination rights, and certain indemnification obligations and ongoing covenants of the Company.
In connection with the Preferred Offering, the Company concurrently entered into a (i) Voting Agreement with the Investor (“Voting Agreement”) pursuant to which the Investor agreed to vote all Series J Preferred Shares owned on and after July 28, 2026 in favor of all proposals recommended by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) at the Company’s next meeting of its shareholders, and (ii) Registration Rights Agreement with the Investor (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, covering the resale of the Conversion Shares no later than 90 days following the execution of the Registration Rights Agreement.
