Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 17, 2026, LiveOne, Inc. (the “Company”), Slacker, Inc., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary (“Slacker”), and Broadcast Music, LLC (“BMI”) entered into a Shares Issuance Agreement (the “Shares Issuance Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue to BMI or its designee 1,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of its common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “common stock”), at a deemed issued price of $7.50 per share. The Shares will be issued as payment in full satisfaction of any payment and music royalty payment obligations due through March 31, 2027 under the Slacker Music Service Music Performance License Fee Agreement, dated as of November 20, 2024, and the Final License Fee Agreement and Release, dated as of November 20, 2024, each as amended on April 17, 2026 (the “Amendment” and collectively, the “License Agreements”), between BMI and Slacker. Pursuant to the Amendment, the parties also agreed to extend the term of the License Agreements through December 31, 2027 (the “Extended Term”), and thereafter the License Agreements will automatically renew on a calendar year-to-year basis. To the extent any obligations under the License Agreements remain payable to BMI for any period subsequent to April 1, 2027, Slacker will pay such remaining amounts to BMI in immediately available funds.
Pursuant to the Shares Issuance Agreement, BMI has agreed (for itself and on behalf of its designee) not to sell on any trading day an aggregate amount of Shares in excess of 5% of the average daily trading volume for the Company’s common stock for the preceding 20 consecutive trading days (excluding from such average any index rebalancing days) (“ADTV”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, regardless of the ADTV, BMI (and its designee) is permitted to sell on any trading day at least 3,500 Shares.
The Shares will be issued to BMI or its designee pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-284916), which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 13, 2025 (the “Registration Statement”), and a prospectus supplement relating to the offering of the Shares filed with the SEC on April 23, 2026. The settlement of the issuance of the Shares is expected to take place on or about April 24, 2026. The Company will not receive any cash proceeds from the offering of the Shares.
The foregoing description of the Shares Issuance Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Shares Issuance Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) and is incorporated herein by reference.
The legal opinion, including the related consent, of Foley Shechter Ablovatskiy LLP, the Company’s outside corporate and securities counsel, are filed as Exhibits 5.1 and 23.1, respectively, to this Current Report.
