Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 29, 2026, Reborn Coffee, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the purchasers named therein (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a private placement, shares of its common stock (the “Shares”) in two closings for aggregate gross proceeds of $21 million, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Private Placement”).
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company has agreed to issue and sell to the Investors at a first closing of the Private Placement to be held immediately following the receipt of no objections from Nasdaq on the Company’s Listing of Additional Securities Notification filed on April 29, 2026 (the “First Closing”), 1,400,000 Shares at a price per Share equal to $2.00 (the “Share Purchase Price”), for aggregate gross proceeds of $2.8 million and satisfaction of the other customary closing conditions.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company has also agreed to issue and sell to the Investors at a second closing of the Private Placement (the “Second Closing”), up to 9,100,000 Shares at the Share Purchase Price for gross aggregate proceeds of $18,200,000. The Second Closing is expected to take place promptly following receipt of the approval by the Company’s stockholders at a meeting of stockholders or acting through written consent of all such matters as may be required by the applicable rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Capital Market (or any successor entity) or under applicable law from the stockholders of the Company with respect to the Private Placement (the “Stockholder Approvals”) and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.
The Company has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to either (i) hold a Stockholder Meeting or (ii) facilitate a written consent of stockholders representing a majority of the voting power of the Company’s voting stock, in lieu of a Stockholder Meeting (a “Stockholder Written Consent”), the purposes of which will include, among other things, to obtain the Stockholder Approvals.
The net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used to support the Company’s principal business initiatives, including flagship store expansion in key metropolitan markets, brand development, working capital, and the continued growth of its multi-channel distribution strategy. The proceeds are also expected to support operational and supply chain capabilities designed to enhance efficiency, execution, and scalability across the Company’s expanding platform.
The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company and customary closing conditions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties thereto and as of specific dates and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
The foregoing description of the Securities Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The information contained in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. Based in part upon the representations of the Investors in the Agreement, the offering and sale of the Shares will be exempt from registration under Rule 903 of Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”). The sale of the Shares by the Company in the Private Placement will not be registered under the Act or any state securities laws and such shares may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. The sale of such shares will not involve a public offering and will be made without general solicitation or general advertising. In the Agreement, each Investor represented, among other things, that it is a “non-U.S. person” as defined under Regulation S, that it is not acquiring the Shares for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person, and that it is acquiring the Shares for investment purposes only and not with a view to any immediate resale, distribution, or other disposition of the Shares.
