**Comment for Reporting Person:** 1  This amount consists of 1,689,676 shares of Common Stock held directly by Kaufman Kapital LLC. The Reporting Persons also hold a Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note with $2,900,000 of outstanding principal and approximately $665,000 of accrued and unpaid interest, convertible into Common Stock at $0.7582 per share (representing approximately 4,701,848 underlying shares). However, on May 14, 2026, a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation (the "Blocker") was added to the Convertible Note, pursuant to which the Reporting Persons may not convert any portion of the Convertible Note to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, the Reporting Persons would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Because the Reporting Persons' current common stock holdings exceed 9.99% of outstanding shares, and because the Blocker may only be waived upon not less than 61 days' prior written notice, the shares underlying the Convertible Note are not convertible within 60 days and are excluded from beneficial ownership pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1) under the Exchange Act.

2  The percentage is calculated based upon 15,316,030 shares outstanding as of May 14, 2026 (per the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed May 14, 2026). No derivative shares are included in the denominator because all derivative shares are excluded from beneficial ownership due to the Blocker.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D (this "Amendment") amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on October 17, 2024 (the "Original 13D"), as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on December 11, 2024, Amendment No. 2 filed on April 6, 2026, and Amendment No. 3 filed on May 7, 2026 (collectively, as amended, the "Schedule 13D"), by Daniel L. Kaufman ("Kaufman") and Kaufman Kapital LLC ("Kaufman Kapital," and together with Kaufman, the "Reporting Persons") with respect to the common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of BranchOut Food Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Issuer").

This Amendment is being filed to report (i) the sale by Kaufman Kapital of 213,830 shares of Common Stock on May 12, 2026, (ii) the entry by Kaufman Kapital and the Issuer into Amendment No. 3 to the Convertible Note on May 14, 2026, adding a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation, (iii) the issuance by the Issuer of a Second Amended and Restated Senior Secured Promissory Note to Kaufman Kapital on May 15, 2026, reflecting an additional $750,000 advance, and (iv) updates to Items 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the Schedule 13D. Except as specifically amended and supplemented hereby, the Schedule 13D remains in full force and effect.

**Item 4. Purpose of Transaction**

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

May 2026 Stock Sales. On May 12, 2026, Kaufman Kapital sold 213,830 shares of Common Stock in open-market transactions. Together with the 255,951 shares sold on May 5, 2026 (as reported in Amendment No. 3), the Reporting Persons have sold a total of 469,781 shares since the filing of Amendment No. 2.

Beneficial Ownership Limitation (Blocker). On May 14, 2026, Kaufman Kapital and the Issuer entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Convertible Note (the "Blocker Amendment"), pursuant to which a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation was added to the Convertible Note. Under the Blocker Amendment, Kaufman Kapital may not convert any portion of the Convertible Note (whether principal or accrued interest) to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, Kaufman Kapital (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Maximum Percentage may be increased or decreased by Kaufman Kapital upon not less than sixty-one (61) days' prior written notice to the Issuer. As a result of the Blocker Amendment, shares of Common Stock underlying the Convertible Note are not currently convertible within 60 days and are excluded from the Reporting Persons' beneficial ownership calculation. See Item 5 below.

Additional Working Capital Loans. On April 17, 2026 and May 15, 2026, Kaufman Kapital made additional advances to the Issuer totaling $1,500,000, bringing the total outstanding principal under the non-convertible secured note to $3,000,000. The proceeds were used by the Issuer for working capital purposes, including production and inventory build to support customer deliveries.

Current Plans and Purposes. The Reporting Persons currently hold the securities of the Issuer for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons continuously evaluate their investment in the Issuer based on a variety of factors, including the Issuer's financial condition, results of operations, business prospects, general market and economic conditions, and other factors. Depending on such evaluation, the Reporting Persons may from time to time acquire additional securities of the Issuer (including through conversion of outstanding Convertible Note principal and accrued interest, subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation), dispose of some or all of the securities of the Issuer (including through open-market sales, privately negotiated transactions, block trades, registered offerings, or otherwise), or take any other action with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they may deem appropriate. Any such transactions may be effected at any time and from time to time, without prior notice, and will depend upon a variety of factors, including those described above.

Except as otherwise described in this Amendment, the Reporting Persons do not have any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the matters described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

**Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer**

**(a)**
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a)-(b)  As of the date of this Amendment, the Reporting Persons beneficially own 1,689,676 shares of Common Stock held directly by Kaufman Kapital (consisting of 1,000,000 shares acquired upon exercise of the $1.00 Warrant on June 5, 2025, 659,457 shares acquired upon conversion of $500,000 of Convertible Note principal on January 28, 2026, and 500,000 shares acquired upon exercise of the $1.50 Warrant on May 7, 2026, less 255,951 shares sold on May 5, 2026 and 213,830 shares sold on May 12, 2026).

**(b)**
Excluded Shares. The Reporting Persons also hold the Convertible Note, which has a remaining principal balance of $2,900,000 and approximately $665,000 of accrued and unpaid interest as of the date hereof. Both principal and accrued interest are convertible into Common Stock at the option of the holder at a fixed conversion price of $0.7582 per share, representing an aggregate of approximately 4,701,848 underlying shares ($2,900,000 of principal = 3,824,848 shares; approximately $665,000 of interest = approximately 877,000 shares). However, as a result of the Blocker Amendment dated May 14, 2026, Kaufman Kapital may not convert any portion of the Convertible Note to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, Kaufman Kapital would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Because Kaufman Kapital's current common stock holdings (1,689,676 shares, or approximately 11.0% of outstanding shares) exceed the 9.99% threshold, and because the Maximum Percentage may only be increased upon not less than sixty-one (61) days' prior written notice, the shares underlying the Convertible Note are not convertible within 60 days and are therefore excluded from the Reporting Persons' beneficial ownership pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1) under the Exchange Act.

Interest on the Convertible Note accrued at 12% per annum through May 7, 2026 and accrues at 8% per annum thereafter.

Based on 15,316,030 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 14, 2026, as reported in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2026, filed with the SEC on May 14, 2026, the Reporting Persons beneficially own approximately 11.0% of the outstanding Common Stock.

Kaufman, as the sole member and manager of Kaufman Kapital, has sole voting and dispositive power over all securities held by Kaufman Kapital. Kaufman does not directly own any shares of Common Stock.

**(c)**
(c)  The following transactions in the Common Stock were effected by the Reporting Persons during the past 60 days:

Date: May 5, 2026, Transaction: Sale of Common Stock, Shares: 255,951 (D), Price/Share: $3.2880 avg. ($3.25-$3.55)*, How Effected: Open market

Date: May 7, 2026, Transaction: Exercise of $1.50 Warrant, Shares: 500,000 (A), Price/Share: $1.50, How Effected: Warrant exercise

Date: May 12, 2026, Transaction: Sale of Common Stock, Shares: 213,830 (D), Price/Share: $3.26 avg. ($3.25-$3.45)*, How Effected: Open market

* Full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price on each date within the stated range will be provided upon request to the SEC staff, the Issuer, or a security holder of the Issuer.

**Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.**

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

Blocker Amendment. On May 14, 2026, Kaufman Kapital and the Issuer entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Convertible Note (the "Blocker Amendment"), pursuant to which a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation was added to the Convertible Note. Under the Blocker Amendment, Kaufman Kapital may not convert any portion of the Convertible Note (whether principal or accrued interest) to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, Kaufman Kapital would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Maximum Percentage may be increased or decreased upon not less than sixty-one (61) days' prior written notice. A copy of the Blocker Amendment is filed as Exhibit C hereto.

Second Amended and Restated Senior Secured Promissory Note. On May 15, 2026, Kaufman Kapital advanced an additional $750,000 to the Issuer, and the Issuer issued a Second Amended and Restated Senior Secured Promissory Note in the principal amount of $3,000,000 (the "Current Secured Note"), which amends and restates the Amended and Restated Senior Secured Promissory Note dated April 17, 2026. The Current Secured Note consolidates (i) the initial $1,500,000 advance made on January 28, 2026, (ii) the $750,000 additional advance made on April 17, 2026, and (iii) the $750,000 additional advance made on May 15, 2026. The Current Secured Note bears interest at 8% per annum, matures on January 28, 2027, and is not convertible into Common Stock. The Issuer's obligations under the Current Secured Note are secured under the Security Agreement. Among the negative covenants, the Current Secured Note prohibits the Issuer from making any prepayments under the Convertible Note while the Current Secured Note remains outstanding. A copy of the Current Secured Note is filed as Exhibit D hereto.

The Convertible Note, as amended by the May 2026 Agreement and the Blocker Amendment, continues to be outstanding with a remaining principal balance of $2,900,000 and approximately $665,000 of accrued and unpaid interest as of the date hereof. The Convertible Note bears interest at 8% per annum (as reduced by the May 2026 Agreement, effective May 7, 2026; interest accrued at 12% prior to that date), matures on December 31, 2027, and is convertible at any time at the option of the holder at a fixed conversion price of $0.7582 per share, subject to the 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation. Both outstanding principal and accrued interest are convertible into Common Stock. The Issuer's obligations under the Convertible Note continue to be secured by a lien on substantially all of the Issuer's assets pursuant to the Security Agreement. The Issuer may not prepay more than $2,400,000 of principal prior to September 30, 2027 without the consent of Kaufman Kapital.

Except as described above and in the documents previously filed with the Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons do not have any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) with any person with respect to the securities of the Issuer.
