Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 28, 2026, Professional Diversity Network, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Global Amendment (the “Global Amendment”) with Streeterville Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (the “Investor”), which amends that certain securities purchase agreement, dated September 5, 2025 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Global Amendment), as previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8‑K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 5, 2025. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
Pursuant to the Global Amendment, the parties agreed to amend the defined term “Commitment Amount” throughout the Transaction Documents from $20,000,000 to $8,000,000. In addition, the Global Amendment modifies the calculation of the Minimum Balance Amount. As amended, for every $1.00 that the Company pays toward the outstanding balance of a Pre‑Paid Purchase, the Minimum Balance Amount may be reduced by $0.70, and such corresponding amount may be released from the Deposit Account to the Company upon the Company’s written request to the Investor (each, a “Release”). Each Release must be in an amount equal to or greater than $50,000.
Except as expressly modified by the Global Amendment, the Securities Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms.
The foregoing description of the Global Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Global Amendment, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8‑K and is incorporated herein by reference.
