Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

 

Banzai International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Banzai” or the “Company”), previously announced its entry into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated January 22, 2025, with Act-On Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Act-On”), and Banzai Passage Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Banzai (“Merger Sub”). Although the Company worked diligently to complete all closing conditions of the Merger Agreement, due to current market conditions, on June 6, 2025, Act-On served Banzai with a notice of termination to terminate the Merger Agreement and any related agreements (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”). We are filing this amendment to the original announcement on Form 8-K to disclose same. As per the Transaction Documents, within five (5) calendar days, the Company is required to pay certain termination fees including $500,000 in liquidated damages to cover certain transaction expenses Act-On incurred in connection with the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement and $882,029.82 in additional interest and extension fees associated with one of Act-On’s outstanding debts that the Company was going to payoff in connection with the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
