Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously reported, on March 13, 2023, Ainos, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Ainos”, “we” or the “Company”), entered into a Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 13, 2023 (the “Agreement”), with Li-Kuo Lee, in the principal amount of $1,000,000 (the “Principal Amount”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note to Li-Kuo Lee in the Principal Amount (the “Convertible Note”). The Principal Amount and six percent (6%) compounded interest of the Convertible Note is payable in cash on or before two (2) years from the effective date of the Convertible Note. If not earlier repaid, at the election of the Purchaser, the Convertible Note will be converted into shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share of the Company, or such other securities or property for which the Convertible Note may become convertible, at a conversion price of One Dollar and Fifty Cents ($1.50) (adjusted to $7.50 following the 1-for-5 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock on December 14, 2023), subject to certain adjustments described in Section 2(b) of the Convertible Note.

On March 12, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to the Convertible Note (the “Convertible Note Amendment”) with Li-Kuo Lee to extend the maturity date to May 13, 2025.

The foregoing description of the Convertible Note Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Convertible Note Amendment, a form of which is filed with this current report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
