Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. Banzai International, Inc. (the " Company ") previously reported that on February 19, 2021, the Company, along with Joe Davy and Demio, Inc. (the " Guarantors "), issued a convertible promissory note (the " First Senior Convertible Note ") in an aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000 to CP BF Lending, LLC (" CP BF ") in connection with a loan agreement, dated February 19, 2021, between the Company and CP BF (the " Loan Agreement "). On October 10, 2022, the Loan Agreement was amended, whereby CP BF waived payment by the Company of four months of cash interest with respect to the term loan under the Loan Agreement in replacement for a convertible promissory note (the " Second Senior Convertible Note " and, together with the First Senior Convertible Note, the " Senior Convertible Notes ") issued by the Company in an aggregate principal amount of $321,345. On August 24, 2023, the Company and CP BF entered into a forbearance agreement (the " Original Forbearance Agreement "), as amended by the First Amendment to Forbearance Agreement, dated as of December 14, 2023 (collectively, the " Forbearance Agreement "), pursuant to which they agreed to amend and restate the Senior Convertible Notes so that they would not convert at the closing of a business combination as a "Change of Control" event. After the closing of the business combination that occurred on December 14, 2023, the Senior Convertible Notes became convertible, at CP BF's option on 5 days' written notice to the Company, into shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 (the " Class A Common Stock "). The Senior Convertible Notes provide that, at all times after a SPAC Transaction (as defined in the Senior Convertible Notes), the conversion price for any such conversion is approximately $4.35 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth therein. On September 5, 2024, the Company entered into a Side Letter to the Loan Agreement whereby the Company agreed to enter into definitive transaction documents with CP BF and the Guarantors, where by each agreed that substantially all of the outstanding obligations of the Company and Guarantors with regard to the Loan Agreement shall be consolidated and evidenced by a single convertible note (the " Convertible Note "), and that, absent an event of default, the Convertible Note shall accrue interest at a rate of 15.5%, which interest shall be paid in kind monthly (collectively, the " Rate Reduction "). In exchange for agreeing to the Rate Reduction,
