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

On April 11, 2026, LQR House Inc. (the "**Company**") entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the "**Agreement**") with Fusion Five Continents Securities Limited, a New Zealand limited company (the "**Target**"), and Dean Shields as the seller, pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Target in multiple closings.

No later than April 24, 2026, the Company will complete the initial closing, acquiring 2,400 ordinary shares of the Target, representing 24% of the outstanding shares, for a purchase price of $28,080,000 payable in Tether (USDT).

After ten business days following the satisfaction of all the conditions contained in the Agreement, including any required regulatory approvals, the Company has agreed to acquire, in one or more closings, the remaining 7,600 ordinary shares of the Target, representing 76% of the outstanding shares, for an aggregate purchase price of $98,800,000, payable in USDT.

The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnification provisions for transactions of this nature.

The foregoing description of the Agreement is a summary of the material terms thereof, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

**Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.**

In light of the acquisition of the Target, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "**Board**") determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to fill vacancies on the Board with individuals who are based in New Zealand or have significant business experience in New Zealand.

Accordingly, on April 10, 2026, the Board appointed Yuting "Tina" Luo and to serve as a director of the Company. Ms. Luo has experience as a compliance and risk management professional in the financial services industry. The Board also appointed Ms. Luo to serve on the Audit Committee and the Nominating Committee and has determined that she qualifies as an independent director under the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules.

Also on April 10, 2026, the Board appointed Hoi Ho George Wong to serve as a director of the Company. Mr. Wong has experience in accounting and business management in New Zealand. The Board has also appointed Mr. Wong to serve on the Compensation Committee and has determined that he qualifies as an independent director under the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules.

There are no arrangements or understandings between either Ms. Luo or Mr. Wong and any other person pursuant to which either of them was selected as a director, except in connection with the transaction described above. There are no transactions involving either Ms. Luo or Mr. Wong requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

In connection with such director appointments, the Company entered into written service agreements (the "**Director Agreements**") with each of Ms. Luo and Mr. Wong on April 13, 2026. Pursuant to the Director Agreements, Ms. Luo and Mr. Wong will each be entitled to receive annual cash fees of $48,000, payable in monthly installments, for their services as directors on the Board. The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of director agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "**SEC**") on December 26, 2024.

In addition, in connection with such director appointments, the Company entered into its standard form of indemnification agreement with each of Ms. Luo and Mr. Wong, substantially in the form filed as Exhibit 10.16 to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on June 16, 2023.

The representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities set forth in this Agreement or in any certificate, document or other instrument delivered in connection herewith or contemplated hereby shall survive for a period of nine (9) months from the Second Closing Date. The expiration of any representation or warranty as provided in this <u>Section 6.01</u> hereof shall preclude any indemnity with respect thereof under this Article VI from and after the time such representation or warranty shall have expired; provided, however, that the expiration of any such representation or warranty shall not affect the rights of any party in respect of any such indemnity claim therefor as to which notice thereof has been given under this <u>Article VI</u> prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period provided in this <u>Section 6.01</u> hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.02 <u>Indemnification by Seller</u>. From and after the Initial Closing Date, Seller shall indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless Buyer and its respective officers, directors, shareholders, affiliates and successors and assigns (collectively, the "**Buyer Indemnified Parties**") from and against any and all Losses (as defined below) incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party and arising out of or resulting from (i) any breach of any representation or warranty given or made by Seller in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements and (ii) any nonfulfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement made by Seller in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.03 <u>Indemnification by Buyer</u>. From and after the Initial Closing Date, Buyer and the Company shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless Seller and his affiliates and successors and assigns (collectively, the "**Seller Indemnified Parties**") from and against any and all Losses (as defined below) incurred by Seller Indemnified Party and arising out of or resulting from (i) any breach of any representation or warranty given or made by Buyer in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements and (ii) any nonfulfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement made by Buyer in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.04 <u>Notice of Indemnity Claims</u>. If any Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties entitled to or seeking indemnification hereunder (an "**Indemnified Party**") (a) determines that any event, occurrence, fact, condition or claim has given or could give rise to Losses for which such Indemnified Party is or may be entitled to, or may seek, indemnification under this Agreement, (b) otherwise identifies an event, occurrence, fact, condition or claim giving rise (or which may give rise) to a right of indemnification hereunder in favor of such Indemnified Party, or (c) with respect to any third-party claim, becomes aware of the assertion of any claim or of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity (any of the foregoing, an "**Indemnity Claim**"), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the party or parties obligated to provide indemnification or from whom indemnification is being or will be sought (the "**Indemnifying Party**") in writing of such Indemnity Claim (a "**Claim Notice**") describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to the claim for indemnification hereunder and shall include in such Claim Notice (if then known) the amount or the method of computation of the amount of such claim, and a reference to the provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument executed hereunder or in connection herewith upon which such claim is based; provided, however, the failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely notice thereof shall not affect any of its rights to indemnification hereunder nor relieve the Indemnifying Party from any of its indemnification obligations hereunder, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. Any Claim Notice not relating to a third-party claim shall specify the nature of the Loss and the estimated amount thereof. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days following the delivery of the Claim Notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes the referenced Claim, the amount of such Claim shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder (a "**Final Claim**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.05 <u>Losses Defined</u>. As used in this <u>Article VI</u>, "**Losses**" means any and all losses, liabilities, obligations and damages and other reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and charges, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and other amounts incurred in proceedings relating to Losses, but all of which Losses shall be reduced by (a) any insurance proceeds actually recovered with respect to the events or transactions giving rise to such Losses (less any increase in annual premiums as a result of such claims) or (b) any reserve set forth in, or provision made in, the Financial Statements specifically with respect to the events or transactions giving rise to such Losses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.07 <u>Threshold</u>. Seller and Buyer shall not have any liability pursuant to <u>Section 6.02</u> hereof, unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses pursuant to <u>Section 6.02</u> hereof is greater than or equal to $500,000 (the "**Basket**"), in which case Seller shall be responsible only for Losses exceeding the Basket. Buyer shall not have any liability pursuant to <u>Section 6.03</u> hereof, unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses pursuant to <u>Section 6.03</u> hereof is greater than or equal to the Basket, in which case Buyer shall be responsible only for Losses exceeding the Basket. The aggregate amount of all Losses for which Seller shall be liable pursuant to <u>Section 6.02</u> hereof shall not exceed $500,000 (the "**Cap**"). The aggregate amount of all Losses for which Buyer shall be liable pursuant to <u>Section 6.03</u> hereof shall not exceed the Cap.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.08 <u>Sole and Exclusive Remedy</u>. Following the Closing, the indemnification rights pursuant to this <u>Article VI</u> shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedies for Seller, Buyer and the Company, pursuant to this Agreement with respect to Losses of any kind or nature rising out of or in connection with this Agreement, except for claims arising from fraud, criminal activity, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any Indemnifying Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.09 <u>Tax Benefits and Tax Detriments</u>. Any Losses shall be calculated net of any tax benefits actually realized by the Indemnified Party by reason of deductibility of such Losses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.10 <u>Mitigation</u>. Each of the Seller Indemnified Parties and the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall make commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or minimize Losses under this Agreement upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses that are indemnifiable under this <u>Article VI</u>; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.10 is intended to obligate any such parties to incur extraordinary expense or risk to mitigate or minimize any such Losses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.11 <u>Review Rights</u>. Upon reasonable request and during regular business hours and not to exceed more than twice per calendar year, at Seller's own cost expense, Seller may request and shall have access to relevant supporting materials and other documents as reasonably necessary to verify compliance with the terms and conditions of this <u>Article VI</u> and to investigate and verify any claims made pursuant this <u>Article VI</u>.
