Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Exchange Agreement
On July 17, 2025, Transportation and Logistics Systems, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with a certain holder (the “Exchange Holder”) of outstanding warrants (the “Exchange Securities”) to purchase up to 25,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Exchange Holder agreed to exchange the Exchange Securities, for an aggregate of 22 shares of the Company’s Series J Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series J Preferred Stock”), effective as of June 1, 2025. The Exchange Holder’s obligation to exchange the Exchange Securities is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary conditions, including the Company issuing the Series J Preferred Stock, no court or other such governmental or regulatory authority prohibiting such exchange, the representations and warranties of the Company being true and correct in all material respects, and the Common Stock not being suspended from trading by any governmental authority.
The Exchange Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Exchange Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of its specific date, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
Settlement Agreements
Between July 18, 2025 and July 21, 2025, we also entered into settlement agreements (the “Liability Settlement Agreements”) with certain holders (the “Creditors”) of certain of our liabilities (together with the A&S Claim (as defined below), the “Outstanding Liabilities”). Pursuant to the Liability Settlement Agreements, the Creditors agreed to settle an aggregate of approximately $506,576.63 in Outstanding Liabilities in exchange for the issuance of an aggregate of 5,066 shares of Series J Preferred Stock, effective as of June 1, 2025. The Creditors and the Company also agreed to release one another from any future causes of action or obligations in connection with the Outstanding Liabilities. The Creditors’ obligations to settle their respective Outstanding Liabilities are conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including the Company issuing the Series J Preferred Stock, at least 50% of the outstanding shares of each of the Series E Preferred Stock and the Series G convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share having been exchanged for Series J Preferred Stock, which condition has been satisfied, the representations and warranties of the Company being true and correct in all material respects, and the Common Stock not being suspended from trading by any governmental authority.
Also on July 21, 2025, we entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the “A&S Settlement Agreement”) with respect to the Company’s previously disclosed litigation with the Company’s former law firm, Akabas & Sproule (“A&S”) seeking $86,570.58 in compensatory damages, $14,273.58 in interest and not less than $24,144.84 in costs of collection, for a total of $125,000 (the “A&S Claim”) in which all claims were resolved and, upon the satisfaction of certain obligations and conditions, the action will be dismissed with prejudice. The A&S Settlement Agreement was on substantially the same form as the Liability Settlement Agreements. Also on July 21, 2025, we entered into a confidential settlement agreement and mutual release (the “Litigation Settlement Agreement”, and together with the Liability Settlement Agreements, the “Settlement Agreements”) with respect to the Company’s previously disclosed litigation with a former financial consultant to the Company, SCS, LLC (“SCS”), captioned SCS, LLC v. Transportation and Logistics Systems, Inc. Pursuant to the Litigation Settlement Agreement, after determining that the a Confidential Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release effective on February 13, 2025 (the “SCS Settlement Agreement”) and its terms, the court determined that the settlement of $36,000 in money the Company owed to SCS claimed in exchange for the issuance of 360 shares of Series J Preferred Stock, effective as of July 23, 2025, was fair to SCS. The court entered an order which dismissed the action with prejudice.
The Settlement Agreements contain customary representations and warranties of the parties. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Settlement Agreements were made only for purposes of such agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
