Item 1.01 – Entry in Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 31, 2023, AgeX and Juvenescence Limited (“Juvenescence”) entered into a Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Secured Note”) to provide that (i) the definition of Reverse Financing Condition is amended to extend to October 31, 2023 the referenced deadline for fulfillment of the condition to permit borrowing or other incurrence of indebtedness by AgeX’s subsidiary Reverse Bioengineering, Inc., and (ii) Juvenescence may convert the outstanding amount of the Secured Note loans or any portion of such loans into AgeX common stock without restriction by the “19.9% Cap” if Juvenescence elects to convert those amounts at a conversion price or prices equal to the “Drawdown Market Prices” applicable to such loan amounts in lieu of a lower conversion price set with reference to the current market price of AgeX common stock at the time of conversion. The 19.9% Cap is a provision of the Secured Note that limits the amount of common stock that Juvenescence may acquire through the conversion of Secured Note loans in order to comply with NYSE American requirements pertaining to the amount of shares that a listed company, such as AgeX, may sell at a price less than the market prices prevailing at the time the loans were made (the “Drawdown Market Prices”).

On July 31, 2023, AgeX and Juvenescence also entered into an amendment to the Secured Convertible Promissory Note dated March 13, 2023 (the “$10 Million Secured Note”) that mirrors the amendments of the Secured Note described above, and also creates an earlier time window, ending October 31, 2023, during which Juvenescence may elect to convert any amount outstanding under the $10 Million Secured Note into shares of AgeX common stock. After October 31, 2023, Juvenescence may convert outstanding amounts under the $10 Million Secured Note into AgeX common stock on any date more than ninety (90) days after the earlier of (a) the occurrence of a Qualified Merger as defined, and (b) March 13, 2024. Juvenescence has exchanged the $10 million principal amount of $10 Million Secured Note for shares of AgeX Series B Preferred Stock, and the remaining amount payable and convertible into common stock is approximately $692,800 of accrued loan origination fees.

The descriptions of the Fourth Amendment and the Amendment to the $10 Million Secured Note in this Report are summaries only, do not purport to be a complete statement of the terms and conditions of such amendments, and are qualified in all respects by reference to the full text of the Fourth Amendment and the Amendment to $10 Million Secured Note which are filed as Exhibits and are incorporated by reference into this Report.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

On August 1, 2023, AgeX drew $500,000 of its credit available under the Secured Note as amended by the Fourth Amendment.

The Repayment Date on which the outstanding principal balance of the Secured Note will become due and payable shall be February 14, 2024. The other material terms of the Secured Note are summarized in AgeX’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 12, 2023 and in Item 1.01 in AgeX’s Form 8-K filed on June 8, 2023.
