Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 8, 2025, Serina Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") with certain investors (collectively, the "Investors") for a private placement of securities (the "Private Placement"). At the closing of the Private Placement, the Company will issue an aggregate of 962,250 shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), at a purchase price of $5.18 per share of Series A Preferred Stock. The Company has received aggregate gross proceeds from the Private Placement of approximately $5 million.

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company's common stock, par value ($0.0001 (the "Common Stock"), at a conversion price of $5.18 per share. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be issued to the Investors, and any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock will be issued, pursuant to the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Act.

The foregoing description is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Securities Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The disclosures set forth in Item 1.01 above are incorporated by reference into this item 3.02.

Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

The disclosures set forth in Item 1.01 above and Item 5.03 below are incorporated by reference into this item 3.03.

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On April 10, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Designations of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Certificate of Designations") with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which became effective upon filing. A description of the material terms of the Series A Preferred Stock is below.

Ranking. With respect to (i) payment of dividends, (ii) distribution of assets and (iii) all other liquidation, winding up, dissolution, dividend and redemption rights, the Series A Preferred Stock shall rank pari passu in priority of payment to all Parity Stock (defined below) and senior in priority of payment to all Junior Stock (defined below) in any liquidation, dissolution, winding up or distribution of the Company, and junior to any indebtedness of the Company.

“Junior Stock” means (i) the Common Stock and (ii) any other equity interest of the Company, in each case which by its terms ranks junior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends and/or distribution of assets.

“Parity Stock” means any equity interest of the Company hereinafter created which by its terms ranks pari passu with the Series A Preferred Stock.

Dividends. The Series A Preferred Stock carries an annual 8.0% cumulative dividend, which will be paid prior to and in preference over any Junior Stock or Parity Stock. On March 31st of each year (or if March 31st of such year is not a business day, the first business day following such date) such dividends will be made as a payment in kind.

Voting Rights. Per each whole share of Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such holder's Series A Preferred Stock would be convertible into on the record date for the vote or consent of stockholders. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock will vote with the holders of the Common Stock as a single class and on an as-converted basis, except as provided by law.

Mandatory Conversion. All shares of Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of Common Stock if (i) the volume weighted average price per share of Common Stock is greater than two times the then effective conversion price for ten trading days within any twenty consecutive trading days and (ii) upon the Company completing an underwritten offering or private placement of Common Stock resulting in gross cash proceeds to the Company of at least $20 million.




Optional Conversion. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock may convert all of their respective shares of Series C Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock at any time.

Conversion Rate. The number of shares of Common Stock that each holder of Series A Preferred Stock will receive upon conversion of such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be equal to the sum of (i) the quotient of the Stated Value of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted, which is $5.18 per share divided by the Conversion Price, which is initially $5.18 and (ii) any dividends accrued, but not yet issued, with respect to such shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the exercise of any conversion right. Any fractional shares of Common Stock that a holder would otherwise be entitled to will be rounded up to the next whole share.

Adjustments. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock will have rights to certain adjustments for stock dividends stock splits and rights in connection with certain subsequent rights offerings.

The foregoing description of the Series A Preferred Stock does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Series A Preferred Stock Certificate of Designations, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
