Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The information set forth under Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

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

On August 6, 2024, LightPath Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a bridge note (the “Note”) with Lytton-Kambara Foundation (the “Lender”) pursuant to which the Lender extended a loan to the Company in the principal amount of $3,000,000 (the “Loan”). The Loan is subject to an original issue discount of 7%. After deducting the original issue discount, fees paid to the Company’s placement, and certain expenses, the Company received net proceeds of $2,700,000.

The Loan bears interest at the rate of 12.5% per annum and has a 1-year term, maturing on August 6, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”), at which time the entire principal amount of the Loan and all accrued but unpaid interest is due and payable in full.

The Company may prepay the principal outstanding under the Note at any time prior to the Maturity Date at 105% of the prepaid principal amount plus any unpaid accrued interest. Upon the consummation of a transaction resulting in a Change of Control (as defined in the Note) the Company is required to repay the holder of the Note in cash an amount equal to 105% of the outstanding principal balance of the Note plus unpaid accrued interest on the original principal.

The Note contains customary representations, warranties and covenants for agreements of this type and provides for customary events of default, including among other things, failure to make payments when due, breaches of representations and warranties, and certain bankruptcy and insolvency events. Upon an event of default, the Note’s interest rate shall increase to 18% per annum and the Note holder may, at its option, accelerate the Note whereupon the entire principal amount thereof and all accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable in full.

The foregoing descriptions of the Note do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Note, a copy of which is filed as an Exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
