Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 4, 2024, Edible Garden AG Incorporated (the “Company”) entered into a standard merchant cash advance agreement (the “December Cedar Agreement”) with Cedar Advance LLC (“Cedar”), dated as of December 4, 2024, pursuant to which the Company sold to Cedar $2,485,000 of its future accounts receivable for a purchase price of $1,750,000, less fees and expenses of $87,500, for net funds provided of $1,662,500. A portion of the net proceeds of the December Cedar Agreement were used to satisfy the remaining future accounts receivable of $523,150 to which Cedar was entitled under the amended and restated standard merchant cash advance agreement with Cedar, dated as of May 3, 2024.

Pursuant to the December Cedar Agreement, the Company is required to pay Cedar 25.0% of all funds collected weekly from customers and Cedar is expected to withdraw $65,395 a week directly from the Company’s bank account until the $2,485,000 due to Cedar under the December Cedar Agreement is paid in full. To secure the Company’s obligations under the December Cedar Agreement, the Company granted Cedar a security interest in all accounts, including all deposit accounts, accounts receivable, and other receivables, and proceeds as those terms are defined by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (the “Collateral”). In addition, the Company agreed not to incur, directly or indirectly, any lien on or with respect to the Collateral. In the event of a default (as defined in the December Cedar Agreement), Cedar, among other remedies, can enforce its security interest in the Collateral and demand payment in full of the uncollected amount of receivables purchased plus all fees due under the December Cedar Agreement.

The foregoing summary of the December Cedar Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the December Cedar Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
