Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 24, 2025, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement with Bion BLG, LLC, (effective July 15, 2025) extending the maturity date of the BLG Note to January 15, 2026 (attached as exhibit). The agreement was ratified by Bion’s Board on July 24, 2025. Under the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, the amounts outstanding under the Note will continue to bear interest at a rate of 9% per annum. Bion agreed to a new formula to determine BLG’s obligation for up to $100,000 in legal costs related to litigation over delinquent payment for construction costs incurred at Bion’s demonstration facility near Fair Oaks, IN (see Bion’s Forms 8-K, dated April 7 and 17, 2025). Bion BLG, LLC, also extended their agreement to share their collateral with investors in the three prior Shareholder Note offerings, with investors participating in a new offering, dated July 25, 2025.

Effective October 15, 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement with BLG, LLC, to purchase a Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of up to $500,000 (See Bion’s Form 8-K, dated October 24, 2024). At that time, BLG, LLC, consisted of three affiliates of the Company (Directors Greg Schoener (also Interim COO), Turk Stovall, and Bob Weerts) and two shareholders (one of whom is the brother of Greg Schoener). BLG membership is currently the same, but Bion accepted Turk Stovall’s resignation as a Director, effective May 30, 2025. Amounts outstanding under the original BLG Note bore interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum through the maturity date of the Note, which was April 15, 2025. The Note is secured by the Company’s Intellectual Property (IP)/patents and it will convert into securities in the Company at the terms of a later capital raise (or other source of funding) in excess of $3.0 million, that had to be completed within six (6) months, and other terms as defined in the Note and Security Agreements (attached as exhibits).

Effective May 29, 2025, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement with Bion BLG, LLC, extending the maturity date of the BLG Note to July 15, 2025 (See Bion’s Form 8-K, dated May 30, 2025). Under the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, the amounts outstanding under the Note began to bear interest at a rate of 9% per annum.
