Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Amendment

On April 26, 2024, Real Good Foods, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Real Good Food Company, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its amended and restated Loan and Security Agreement with PMC Financial Services Group, LLC (“PMC”), dated June 30, 2016 (the “Existing Credit Facility”).

The Amendment amended the Existing Credit Facility to allow for the following:

• The maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility (“Revolver”) is extended from November 30, 2025, to December 31, 2026.

• The maturity date of the $90.0 million Term Loan is extended from December 31, 2025, to December 31, 2026.

• The Amendment allows for an additional debt component related to the purchasing of equipment (the “Second Equipment Loan”), which allows for up to $2.6 million in borrowing, which can be drawn upon beginning on the date of this Amendment through June 11, 2024. The Maturity date of the Second Equipment Loan is the earlier of December 31, 2026, or the termination of this agreement. The Second Equipment Loan shall bear interest at an annual rate equal to (i) the “Prime Rate” currently in effect from time to time minus 0.5%, plus (ii) payable in kind (“PIK”) interest of 6.85% per annum.

As consideration for the Amendment, the Company issued a warrant to PMC, exercisable into class A common stock equal to 4.9% of the Company’s total diluted equity at the date of exercise, at an exercise price of $$0.01 per share. The warrant is exercisable beginning on December 31, 2025, or upon either a change in control or a payoff of the outstanding debt, and expires on November 20, 2033.

Waiver Agreement

Additionally, in connection with the Amendment, the Company and PMC entered into a Conditional Waiver Agreement (“Waiver Agreement”), which provides for a conditional waver period beginning on the date of the Amendment and ending on December 31, 2026. The Waiver Agreement waives the impact of certain events of default, as outlined in the Existing Credit Facility, and which have occurred. As a result of the events of default the Waiver Agreement adds additional debt covenants which require certain financial targets to be achieved during the conditional waiver period. Per the terms of the Waiver Agreement, PMC agrees to conditionally waive the existing events of default, and any actions related to those events, provided that the terms of this agreement are met during the conditional waiver period. To satisfy the terms of the waiver period, the additional covenants require that the Company achieve certain EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA targets as defined by the agreement. The covenants related to the adjusted EBITDA targets begin on June 30, 2024 and continue through July 31, 2024. Those related to EBITDA begin on July 31, 2024 and end on December 30, 2025, with a cumulative three month target applicable to the end of each individual month.

18. Neutral Construction. This Agreement is the product of negotiation among the parties hereto and represents the jointly conceived, bargained-for and agreed upon language mutually determined by the parties to express their intentions in entering into this Agreement. Any ambiguity or uncertainty in this Agreement shall be deemed to be caused by, or attributable to, all parties hereto collectively. In any action or proceeding to enforce or interpret this Agreement, the Agreement shall be construed in a neutral manner, and no term or condition of this Agreement, or the Agreement as a whole, shall be construed more or less favorably to any one party, or group of parties, to this Agreement. In the event any provision contained in this Agreement is determined to be unenforceable by a court competent jurisdiction, then that provision shall be deemed omitted from this Agreement and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall continue to be in full force and effect.

19. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE.

20. JUDICIAL REFERENCE.

20.1 The parties prefer that any dispute between them be resolved in litigation subject to a Jury Trial Waiver as set forth in Section 19 herein, but the California Supreme Court has held that such pre-dispute jury trial waivers are unenforceable. This Section will be applicable until: (i) the California Supreme Court holds that a pre-dispute jury trial waiver provision similar to that contained in Section 19 herein is valid or enforceable; or (ii) the California Legislature passes legislation and the governor of the State of California signs into law a statute authorizing pre-dispute jury trial waivers and as a result such waivers become enforceable.

20.2 Other than the exercise of provisional remedies (any of which may be initiated pursuant to applicable law), any controversy, dispute or claim (each, a “Claim”) between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be resolved by a reference proceeding in California in accordance with the provisions of Section 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”), or their successor sections, which shall constitute the exclusive remedy for the resolution of any Claim, including whether the Claim is subject to the reference proceeding. Venue for the reference proceeding will be in the Superior Court or Federal District Court in Los Angeles County, California (the “Court”).

20.3 The referee shall be a retired Judge or Justice selected by mutual written agreement of the parties. If the parties do not agree, the referee shall be selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative). A request for appointment of a referee may be heard on an ex parte or expedited basis, and the parties agree that irreparable harm would result if ex parte relief is not granted. The referee shall be appointed to sit with all the powers provided by law. Pending appointment of the referee, the Court has power to issue temporary or provisional remedies.

20.4 The parties agree that time is of the essence in conducting the reference proceedings. Accordingly, the referee shall be requested, subject to change in the time periods specified herein for good cause shown, to (a) set the matter for a status and trial-setting conference within fifteen (15) days after the date of selection of the referee, (b) if practicable, try all issues of law or fact within ninety (90) days after the date of the conference and (c) report a statement of decision within twenty (20) days after the matter has been submitted for decision.

20.5 The referee will have power to expand or limit the amount and duration of discovery. The referee may set or extend discovery deadlines or cutoffs for good cause, including a party’s failure to provide requested discovery for any reason whatsoever. Unless otherwise ordered based upon good cause shown, no party shall be entitled to “priority” in conducting discovery, depositions may be taken by either party upon seven (7) days written notice, and all other discovery shall be responded to within fifteen (15) days after service. All disputes relating to discovery which cannot be resolved by the parties shall be submitted to the referee whose decision shall be final and binding.

20.6 Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the referee shall determine the manner in which the reference proceeding is conducted including the time and place of hearings, the order of presentation of evidence, and all other questions that arise with respect to the course of the reference proceeding. All proceedings and hearings conducted before the referee, except for trial, shall be conducted without a court reporter, except that when any party so requests, a court reporter will be used at any hearing conducted before the referee, and the referee will be provided a courtesy copy of the transcript. The party making such a request shall have the obligation to arrange for and pay the court reporter. Subject to the referee’s power to award costs to the prevailing party, the parties will equally share the cost of the referee and the court reporter at trial.

20.7 The referee shall be required to determine all issues in accordance with existing case law and the statutory laws of the State of California. The rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law in the State of California will be applicable to the reference proceeding. The referee shall be empowered to enter equitable as well as legal relief, provide all temporary or provisional remedies, enter equitable orders that will be binding on the parties and rule on any motion which would be authorized in a trial, including without limitation motions for summary judgment or summary adjudication. The referee shall issue a decision pursuant to CCP Section 644 the referee’s decision shall be entered by the Court as a judgment or an order in the same manner as if the action had been tried by the Court. The final judgment or order or from any appealable decision or order entered by the referee shall be fully appealable as provided by law. The parties reserve the right to findings of fact, conclusions of laws, a written statement of decision, and the right to move for a new trial or a different judgment, which new trial, if granted, is also to be a reference proceeding under this provision.

8

20.8 If the enabling legislation which provides for appointment of a referee is repealed (and no successor statute is enacted), any dispute between the parties that would otherwise be determined by reference procedure will be resolved and determined by arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by a retired judge or Justice, in accordance with the California Arbitration Act Section 1280 through Section 1294.2 of the CCP as amended from time to time. The limitations with respect to discovery set forth above shall apply to any such arbitration proceeding.

20.9 THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES RESOLVED UNDER THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL BE DECIDED BY A REFEREE AND NOT BY A JURY. AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF THEIR OWN CHOICE, EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY AND FOR THEIR MUTUAL BENEFIT AGREES THAT THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL APPLY TO ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THEM WHICH ARISES OUT OF OR IS RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT.
