**Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.**

On November 4, 2025, Notes Live Real Estate, LLC ("*NLRE*"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Venu Holding Corporation (the "*Company*"), effected a sale-leaseback transaction involving an approximately 5.5-acre parcel of property that is used as the site of the primary parking structure for the Company's Ford Amphitheater (the "*Property*") by entering into a Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "*Purchase Agreement*") with Belmont Manor Apartments, LLC (the "*Purchaser*"). The Purchaser is wholly owned by a significant shareholder of the Company. Under the Purchase Agreement, NLRE agreed to sell the Property to the Purchaser for a purchase price of $14,000,000 (the "*Purchase Price*"). The Purchase Price was delivered by the Purchaser to NLRE through a combination of $7,600,000 in cash along with shares of the Company's common stock valued at $6,400,000 that were held by the Purchaser (or an affiliate thereof), which the Company intends to retire into treasury. The closing of the sale of the Property occurred on November 5, 2025 (the "*Closing Date*").

As a closing obligation of the Purchase Agreement, the Parties also entered into a Ground Lease pursuant to which the Purchaser, as landlord, will lease the Property back to NLRE to allow for the continued use of the Property for parking. Annual base rent is initially $1,050,000 and due in monthly installments, with the annual base rent subject to an annual escalator starting on the first anniversary of the lease. The Purchase Agreement contains a repurchase option pursuant to which NLRE will have the option to purchase the Property from the Purchaser for a fixed price at any time during the three-year period following the Closing Date. In addition to the terms described above, the Purchase Agreement contains other customary terms and conditions, including provisions related to the sale and acquisition of the Property on an "as is" and "where is" basis, the allocation of closing costs, tax prorations, casualty and condemnation of the Property, events of default, and customary representations and warranties.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Seller hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser, to Seller's actual knowledge, the following matters are true and correct as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Seller is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Colorado. Seller will keep in full force and effect through the Closing Date its legal existence and all licenses and franchises necessary for the conduct of its business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Seller owns fee simple title to the Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The execution, delivery and performance by Seller of this Agreement is within the authority of Seller, has been authorized by all necessary proceedings and do not and will not contravene any provision of law, trust agreement, partnership agreement, any other organizational papers or any amendments thereof or any written agreement or contract to which Seller is a party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) There are no judgments outstanding against Seller or petitions, suits, claims, causes of actions or moratoria or any other proceedings pending or threatened against Seller before any court or other governmental, administrative, regulatory, adjudicatory, or arbitrational body of any kind, which if decided adversely to the Seller would adversely affect Seller's ability to perform the obligations of the Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Upon execution and delivery of the Agreement by Seller, this Agreement will be a valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) There is no pending, or to Seller's knowledge threatened, litigation, condemnation, investigation or other legal or zoning proceeding affecting the Property or any portion thereof, and there are no actions, suits, proceedings, orders, administrative proceedings or investigations pending, or to Seller's knowledge threatened, against or affecting the Property or any portion thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Seller is acquiring the Shares for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "**Securities Act**") and any applicable state securities laws. Seller is acquiring the Shares hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. Seller does not presently have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person (as defined below) to distribute any of the Securities. For purposes of this Agreement, "**Person**" means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization and a government or any department or agency thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Seller represents and warrants that, (i) it is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act ("**Regulation D**") and (ii) by reason of its business and financial experience it has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in making similar investments and in business and financial matters generally so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Shares, is able to bear the economic risk of such investment and, at the present time, would be able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Seller understands that the Shares are being offered and sold to Seller in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that Purchaser is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Seller's compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Seller set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Seller to acquire the Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) Seller and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of Venu, including without limitation Venu's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, that have been requested by Seller. Seller understands that its investment in the Shares involves a high degree of risk and is able to afford a complete loss of such investment. Seller has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Shares. Seller confirms and agrees that (i) it has independently evaluated the investment risks and the merits of its decision to purchase the Shares and (ii) it has not relied on the advice of, or any representations by, any other Person in making such decision.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) Seller understands that the Shares have not been and may not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and therefore may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred other than in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom. Seller understands that Purchaser may be deemed an "affiliate" of Venu under the Securities Act and understands the ramifications of acquiring unregistered the Shares from an affiliate, including, without limitation, restrictions on resale. Seller further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Shares, and on requirements relating to Venu which are outside of the Purchaser's control. Seller understands that any certificates or other instruments representing the Shares may bear legends (including a legend similar to that set forth below or any additional legends required by applicable state law) restricting the transfer of the Shares and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates or other instruments.

"THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) Seller represents and acknowledges, to its knowledge, that it has not been solicited to offer to purchase or to purchase any Shares by means of any general solicitation or advertising within the meaning of Regulation D. The office of the Seller in which its principal place of business is located is identified in the address of the Seller set forth in Section 10.1.

For purposes hereof, a "material" part shall be deemed to mean a casualty that damages more than ten percent (10%) of the Improvements. In the event any damage by casualty occurs that is not deemed material hereunder, Purchaser shall proceed to Closing and take an assignment of the insurance proceeds from Seller at Closing.

8.2 <u>Condemnation</u>.

If, prior to Closing, action is initiated or threatened to take a "material" (as defined below in this Section 8.2) part of the Property by eminent domain proceedings or by deed in lieu under threat thereof, Purchaser may either (a) terminate this Agreement, in which event the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except those matters specifically surviving termination or Closing, or (b) consummate the Closing in which latter event the award of the condemning authority not exceeding the Purchase Price shall be assigned to Purchaser at the Closing.

If Seller does not cure such default within said five (5) day period, or if such default is not waived in writing by Purchaser, then Purchaser, at its option, may, as its sole remedy hereunder, either (a) terminate this Agreement, (b) enforce specific performance of this Agreement, or (c) waive such default by Seller and close the purchase, notwithstanding such default by Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice of default shall be required for Seller's failure to perform its obligations on the Closing Date as set forth in Section 6.2 hereof, and there shall be no cure period for same. Breach by Purchaser.

If Purchaser is in default or breaches the terms or provisions of this Agreement, then Seller shall give Purchaser written notice specifying the nature of the default. Purchaser shall then have five (5) days after receipt of Seller's notice of default in which to cure the specified default. If Purchaser does not cure such default within said five (5) days, or if such default is not waived in writing by Seller, then Seller shall be entitled to the sum of $100.00, as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty) as Seller's sole remedy and relief. Seller and Purchaser have made these provisions for liquidated damages as it would be difficult to calculate on the date hereof, the amount of actual damages for such breach and agree that these sums represent reasonable compensation to Seller for such breach, and not a penalty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice of default shall be required for Purchaser's failure to perform its obligations on the Closing Date as set forth in Section 6.3 hereof, and there shall be no cure period for same.

The terms of this Section 10.14 shall survive Closing.
