Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Effective September 15, 2025, pending formal documentation and execution, two affiliates of the Company (Danielle Lominy and Christopher Parlow, family members of the late Dominic Bassani, Bion’s former CEO), and three non-affiliates of the Company (Dominic Bassani’s spouse, Mark A. Smith, previously a Director and President, and Edward Schafer, previously a Director) (referred to hereinafter collectively as ‘Holders’) have each individually agreed to a settlement (“Settlement Agreements”) that will simplify Bion’s capital structure and substantially reduce the number of Fully Diluted Shares. In consideration of the cancellation of various obligations and security instruments held by the Holders, including without limitation deferred compensation, convertible notes, warrants, and options, the Holders (as a whole) will receive, in aggregate, 8,101,746 shares of common stock. If all the instruments they forfeited had been converted or exercised, it could have increased the Company’s shares outstanding by 22,498,405. The transactions represent a net reduction in fully diluted shares of 14,369,659 and an increase in outstanding shares of 8,101,746 (approximately).

The shares will be issued by January 15, 2026, or earlier upon the election of the individual Holders. When the formal agreements are executed and ratified by the Board, they will be attached as an exhibit to a Form 8-K.
