Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Asset Purchase Agreement
On January 20, 2026, LightPath Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Amorphous Materials, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Buyer”), Amorphous Materials, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Seller”) and other parties thereto, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement, Buyer has agreed to acquire substantially all of the assets (collectively, the “Assets”) and assume and acquire certain of the rights and liabilities of Seller (collectively, the “Liabilities” and such acquisition of Assets and assumption of the Liabilities together, the “Transaction”) relating to Seller’s business of compounding and melting a broad range of Chalcogenide glasses for third-party manufacturers.
The aggregate consideration payable by the Company to Seller under the Asset Purchase Agreement in connection with the Transaction will not exceed $10.0 million and will consist of (i) a closing cash payment of $7.0 million (the “Cash Consideration”) and (ii) contingent consideration that will not exceed $3.0 million (the “Contingent Consideration”). The Contingent Consideration, if earned, is payable in shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), to be issued in up to six tranches of $500,000 each divided by the LPTH Stock Price (as calculated pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement) upon the achievement of certain milestones set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement. As of January 20, 2026, Seller has satisfied the first milestone contemplated by the Contingent Consideration Payments and received an aggregate of 39,897 shares of Common Stock as of the Closing Date (as defined below).
The Asset Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification obligations of the parties. The closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement was subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Transaction closed (the “Closing”) on January 21, 2026 (the “Closing Date”). Other than in respect of the Transaction, there are no material relationships between the Company, Buyer or its affiliates, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand.
The foregoing description of the Asset Purchase Agreement is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Asset Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
Lock-Up Agreements
At Closing, the Company entered into lock-up agreements with Seller and certain shareholders of Seller, whereby such shareholders have agreed to not sell or transfer any of the Company’s securities that they hold, subject to certain exceptions, for a period of six (6) months following the Closing (the “Lock-Up Period”). In addition, such holders are subject to certain leak-out restrictions beginning immediately upon the end of the Lock-Up Period and ending six (6) months from such date.
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
The information included in Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The information included in Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. The securities described in this Current Report on Form 8-K were offered and will be issued in reliance upon exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder and corresponding provisions of state securities laws. Accordingly, none of the securities to be issued in the Transaction will have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as of the Closing Date, and until registered, these securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or availability of an applicable exemption from registration.
