Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Pre-Paid Advance Agreement

As previously disclosed by Rein Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”) in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 30, 2025, on July 29, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), we entered into a Pre-Paid Advance Agreement (the “PPA”) with YA II PN, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempt limited partnership (“Yorkville”). In accordance with the terms of the PPA, we may request pre-paid advances of up to $6.0 million from Yorkville (each, a “Pre-Paid Advance”) over a 12-month period, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the PPA. Each Pre-Paid Advance will be purchased by Yorkville at 95% of the face amount of the Pre-Paid Advance. Each additional Pre-Paid Advance shall be subject to the consent of Yorkville. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding balance of any Pre-Paid Advance at an annual rate of 8%, subject to an increase to 18% upon events of default described in the Pre-Paid Advance Agreement. All Pre-Paid Advances are due and payable on the 12-month anniversary of their issuance.

At any time that there is an outstanding balance under any Pre-Paid Advances, Yorkville may provide written notice requiring us to issue and sell shares of our common stock to Yorkville, which shall be offset against and reduce the amounts outstanding under the Pre-Paid Advances. An initial Pre-Paid Advance of $1.0 million was purchased on the Effective Date by Yorkville (“First Advance”), for net proceeds of $0.95 million, and on September 8, 2025, and pursuant our request, Yorkville purchased a second Pre-Paid Advance (“Second Advance”) of $1.0 million, for which we received net proceeds of $0.95 million. As of the date of this report, we have issued 953,765 shares of our common stock, at an average price per share of approximately $1.0562, to Yorkville, which were offset against $1,007,342 of the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the First Advance, and issued 927,107 shares of our common stock, at an average price per share of approximately $1.0825, to Yorkville, which were offset against $1,003,573 of the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Second Advance.

Third Pre-Paid Advance

On October 23, 2025, and pursuant our request, Yorkville purchased a third Pre-Paid Advance of $1.0 million, for which we received net proceeds of $0.95 million.

The foregoing description of the PPA and the Pre-Paid Advances is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the PPA filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
