01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. As previously reported, on November 21, 2024, Sphere 3D Corp. (the "Company") closed on a private placement transaction whereby it issued warrants (the "Existing Warrants") to purchase up to 4,368,211 of the Company's common shares to an accredited investor (the "Purchaser"). The Existing Warrants had an exercise price of $1.50 per share (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Existing Warrants) and became exercisable six months after issuance. On October 16, 2025, the Company entered into a warrant inducement offer letter (the "Inducement Agreement") with the Purchaser whereby the Company offered the Purchaser the ability to exercise its Existing Warrants at an exercise price of $0.94 per share. In addition, pursuant to the Inducement Agreement, the Company offered to issue new warrants (the "New Warrants") to purchase a number of shares equal to 200% of the number of common shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the Existing Warrants, or up to 8,736,422 common shares. The New Warrants have an exercise price of $0.94 per share ( subject to adjustment as set forth in the New Warrants), will become exercisable on the date (the "Stockholder Approval Date") on which the Company receives approval from its stockholders with respect to the issuance of the New Warrants and common shares issuable upon the exercise thereof ("Stockholder Approval"), and will expire on the five-year anniversary of the Stockholder Approval Date. The New Warrants contain standard anti-dilution adjustments to the exercise price including for share splits, share dividends, rights offerings and pro rata distributions. A holder of the New Warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of the New Warrants if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of the Company's common shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is d

02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities. The information contained above in Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. Based in part upon the representations of the Purchaser in the Inducement Agreement, the offering and sale of the New Warrants, and the common shares issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants, will be exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Regulation D promulgated thereunder ("Regulation D") and corresponding provisions of state securities or "blue sky" laws. The sale of the New Warrants and the common shares issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants by the Company has not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the SEC or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. The sale of such securities did not involve a public offering and was made without general solicitation or general advertising. In the Inducement Agreement, the Purchaser represented that it is and on each date on which it exercises any New Warrant will be an accredited investor, as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, and it is acquiring the New Warrants for investment purposes only and not with a view to any resale, distribution or other disposition of the New Warrants in violation of the United States federal securities laws.
