Subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, on November 7, 2025, Purchaser acquired all of the assets of Seller (as more particularly described in the Purchase Agreement, the "Acquired Assets") related to an online platform for creators and consumers focused on culinary content (the "Business"), including the name "Food Channel" and all intellectual property related to the Business. The aggregate purchase price for the Acquired Assets is $650,000, payable in the form of a convertible promissory note (the "Convertible Note") by the Company. The Convertible Note accrues interest at a rate of 4% per annum and is convertible at any time after issuance at a conversion price of $0.76 per share. On January 6, 2026, the outstanding principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest on the Convertible Note will convert into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price equal to $0.76 per share. The purchase price is subject to a 10% holdback for indemnification claims for twelve months following the closing date.

The Purchase Agreement includes customary representations and warranties and covenants tailored to the Acquired Assets, including non-competition and non-solicitation covenants. The Purchase Agreement also contains customary indemnification provisions pursuant to which the parties agree to indemnify each other for certain matters, including, among other things, breaches of representations, warranties and covenants. Also in connection with the Purchase Agreement, certain principals of the Seller have entered into consulting arrangements with Purchaser to perform services related to the Business.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement and the Convertible Note is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

The securities described herein were offered and sold in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.

**Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.**

On November 12, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing its entry into the Purchase Agreement. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

**Item 8.01 Other Events.**

On November 7, 2025, the Company undertook strategic cost-cutting measures due to AI improvements that resulted in reductions in the Company's workforce, representing approximately 30% of the Company's workforce. This reduction in workforce is anticipated to result in labor cost savings of approximately $215,000 per month beginning in December 2025. The Company does not expect to incur any material charges or cash expenditures in connection with the workforce reduction.

Each Seller Party acknowledges that, following the Closing, the Confidential Information will be owned by Purchaser and will continue to be valuable and proprietary to the Business and agrees to keep the Confidential Information confidential and not to divulge or make use of, or allow any of its Affiliates to divulge or make use of, the Confidential Information; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that in no event shall the foregoing preclude the right of any Party to disclose any Confidential Information which it may be required by Law to disclose.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2. <u>Noncompetition; Non-Solicitation.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Seller Parties hereby acknowledge that the Seller Parties are familiar with the Business' trade secrets and with other Confidential Information. The Seller Parties acknowledge and agree that Purchaser would be irreparably damaged if they were to provide services to or otherwise participate in the business of any Person competing with Purchaser in a similar business (defined as an online food/beverage/culinary media business) and that any such competition by the Seller Parties would result in a significant loss of goodwill by Purchaser. The Seller Parties further acknowledge and agree that the covenants and agreements set forth in this <u>Section 4.2</u> were a material inducement to Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder, and that neither Purchaser nor any of its members would obtain the benefit of the bargain set forth in this Agreement as specifically negotiated by the parties hereto if any Seller Party breached the provisions of this <u>Section 4.2</u>. Therefore, the Seller Parties agree, in further consideration of the amounts to be paid for the Acquired Assets, that until the one (1)-year anniversary of the Closing Date each Seller Party shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates not to) directly or indirectly own any interest in, manage, control, participate in, consult with, render services for, or in any other manner engage anywhere in the Restricted Territory in any business engaged directly or indirectly in a Competitive Business within the Restricted Territory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing shall prohibit a Person or any of such Person's Affiliates from having a passive ownership interest of any publicly-traded entity whose securities have been registered under the Securities Act or Section 12 of the Exchange Act, so long as neither such Person nor any of such Person's Affiliates participates in any way in the management, operation or control of such publicly traded entity. For purposes of this Agreement, "<u>Restricted Territory</u>" with respect to any Seller Party shall mean the United States of America. The Seller Parties acknowledge that Purchaser's business has been conducted or is presently proposed to be conducted throughout the Restricted Territory and that the geographic restrictions set forth above are reasonable and necessary to protect the goodwill of Purchaser's business. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Seller Parties may continue to operate Solaris Media Inc. in a manner substantially similar to the manner in which such business has been conducted as of the date hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Each Seller Party agrees that it shall not (and each Seller Party shall cause its Affiliates not to) make any negative or derogatory statement or communication regarding Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or employees with the intent to harm Purchaser or any of its Affiliates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) If, at the time of enforcement of the covenants contained in this <u>Section 4.2</u> (the "<u>Restrictive Covenants</u>"), a court shall hold that the duration, scope or the Restricted Territory stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the Parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope or area and that the court shall be allowed and directed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) If any Seller Party or any of its Affiliates breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the Restrictive Covenants, Purchaser shall have the following rights and remedies, each of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the others and severally enforceable, and each of which is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates at Law or in equity: the right and remedy to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, it being agreed that any breach or threatened breach of the Restrictive Covenants would cause irreparable injury to Purchaser or such Affiliate and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to Purchaser or such Affiliate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) In the event of any breach or violation by any Seller Party or any of its Affiliates of any of the Restrictive Covenants, the time period of such covenant shall be tolled until such breach or violation is resolved.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Scope of term "Competitive Business". For clarity, the term "Competitive Business" means an online culinary-media content property substantially similar to the Business as conducted on the Closing Date. For further clarity, nothing restricts any Seller Party from (i) holding passive investments in a publicly traded company as mentioned above, or (ii) engaging in any business as long as the business engaged in is not a Competitive Business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.3. <u>Consents Not Obtained at Closing</u>.

Seller shall use all commercially reasonable efforts, and Purchaser shall cooperate to obtain any consents or waivers necessary to convey to Purchaser all Assumed Contracts intended to be included in the Acquired Assets. If any such consents or waivers are not obtained with respect to any Contract, this Agreement shall constitute an equitable assignment by Seller to Purchaser of all of Seller's rights, benefits, title and interest in and to such Contract, to the extent permitted by Law, and Purchaser shall be deemed to be Seller's agent for the purpose of completing, fulfilling and discharging all of Seller's rights and liabilities arising after the Closing Date under such Contract, and Seller shall take all necessary steps and actions to provide Purchaser with the benefits of such Contract.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Following the Closing, the Purchaser shall have a right to any and all monies paid under an Assumed Contract (or a Contract equitably assigned pursuant to <u>Section 4.3(a)</u>) or in relation to any Acquired Asset. To the extent the Seller or any of its Affiliates receive any such monies or other funds at any time following the Closing, the Seller shall pay, or cause its Affiliate to pay, such monies and funds (in the same form received by the Seller or such Affiliate) to the Purchaser no later than five (5) Business Days after receiving such monies or funds.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.4. <u>Consulting Arrangements</u>.

As set forth on Schedule 4.4 at the Closing, only the individuals listed on that Schedule are anticipated to become independent contractors of the Purchaser. The Independent Contractors shall not be considered or deemed to be agents of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Seller shall be solely responsible for any withholding Taxes, employment Taxes, severance claims or any other claims, causes of action or Liabilities that relate to or arise out of (i) any Hired Employee's employment with Seller prior to the Closing Date or (ii) any other employee's employment with Seller at any time, whether prior to, on or after the Closing Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.3. <u>Governing Law</u>. This Agreement shall be exclusively interpreted and governed by the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.4. <u>Counterparts</u>. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.5. <u>Further Assurances</u>. Each of the Parties shall execute such documents and other papers and take such further actions as may be required to carry out the provisions hereof and the transactions contemplated hereby, including for the purpose of vesting Purchaser with full right, title and interest in, to and under, and/or possession of all of the Acquired Assets, including such assets owned by any Person (other than Seller) that is an Affiliate of Seller.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.6. <u>Severability</u>. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition and unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.7. <u>Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration</u>. If any dispute, controversy, or claim arises in connection with the performance or breach of this Agreement, either Party may, upon written notice to the other Party, request facilitated negotiations. Such negotiations shall be assisted by a neutral facilitator acceptable to both Parties and shall require the best efforts of the Parties to discuss with each other in good faith their respective positions and, respecting their different interests, to finally resolve such dispute. The facilitation conducted may be in person or virtual. Each Party may disclose any facts to the other or to the facilitator that it, in good faith, considers necessary to resolve the dispute. However, all such disclosures will be deemed in furtherance of settlement efforts and will not be admissible in any subsequent litigation against the disclosing party. Except as agreed by both Parties, the facilitator shall keep confidential all information disclosed during negotiations. The facilitator shall not act as a witness in any subsequent arbitration or litigation between the parties. Such facilitated negotiations shall conclude within sixty days from receipt of the written notice, unless extended by mutual consent. The Parties may also agree at any time to terminate or waive facilitated negotiations and elect more formal binding arbitration proceedings as set forth below. The costs incurred by each party in such negotiations will be borne by it; the fees and expenses of the facilitator, if any, shall be borne equally by the Parties. If any dispute, controversy, or claim arises in connection with the performance or breach of this Agreement and cannot be resolved by facilitated negotiations (or the Parties agree to waive that process), then such dispute, controversy, or claim shall be settled by formal arbitration. The arbitration proceeding shall take place in Orange County, California, unless the Parties agree to a different locale. The proceeding shall be governed by the provisions of the United States Arbitration Act, more commonly known as the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) or, by the laws of the state in which the proceeding is to take place. In any arbitration instituted hereunder, the proceedings shall proceed in accordance with the then current Rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA), except that no pre-hearing discovery shall be permitted unless specifically authorized by the arbitrator. Such arbitration shall be conducted before a single arbitrator mutually agreed on by the parties or pursuant to AAA Rules for the appointment of an arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have no authority to award non-monetary or equitable relief, and any monetary award shall not include punitive damages. The confidentiality provisions applicable to facilitated negotiation shall also apply to arbitration. The award issued by the arbitrator may be confirmed in a judgment by any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction should the Parties wish to request this; however, the decision of any arbitrator shall be final and binding on the Parties. All reasonable costs of both Parties, as determined by the arbitrators, including but not limited to (1) the costs, including reasonable travel disbursements if any of the arbitrator; and (2) the fees and expenses of the AAA and the arbitrator; shall be borne equally by the Parties. The costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees for both Parties, necessary to confirm the award in court, shall be borne entirely by the Party requesting such confirmation (to be designated by the arbitration panel in the award) and may not be allocated between the parties by the arbitration panel unless both Parties agree.
