Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
 
On November 6, 2025, Creative Realities, Inc. (the “Company”) completed a financing transaction (the “North Run Financing”) in which the Company issued and sold to North Run Strategic Opportunities Fund I, LP (the “Lead Investor”) and NR-SOF I (Co-Invest I), LP (together with the Lead Investor, the “Buyers”) shares of the Company’s newly established Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”). The closing of the purchase and sale of the Preferred Shares occurred on November 6, 2025. In connection with such closing, and pursuant the Securities Purchase Agreement governing the transaction, the Company increased the size of its Board of Directors (the “Board”) to seven directors and appointed to the Board two designees of the Lead Investor, Thomas B. Ellis and Michael P. Bosco.
 
Following such appointments, Nasdaq advised the Company that it considers the Lead Investor’s rights to appoint directors representing 20% or more of the Board’s voting power to be a “change of control” under Nasdaq Rule 5635(b). In order to maintain compliance with such rule, Mr. Bosco resigned as a director effective as of November 19, 2025, the Company reduced the size of the Board to six directors, and the Buyers have agreed not to exercise their right to designate a second director for appointment or nomination to the Board unless and until the Company’s shareholders approve the “change of control” as a result of the North Run Financing in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b) (the “Shareholder Approval”).
 
The Company currently intends to hold its 2025 annual meeting of shareholders on December 29, 2025, at which it intends to seek the Shareholder Approval. If the proposal for the Shareholder Approval is approved by the Company’s shareholders, the Company has agreed to increase the size of the Board to seven directors and re-appoint Mr. Bosco to the Board promptly following the approval.
