ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On October 25, 2023, RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc. (“we,” “us” and “our”) entered into a debt modification transaction under which 26 investors holding a total principal amount of $15,720,578 in unsecured promissory notes agreed to extend the maturity dates of such notes (as described below), with no other changes to the terms and conditions of the original promissory notes, which original promissory notes were issued in October 2021 and had original maturity dates in October 2024. The transaction was effected by the 26 investors returning for cancellation their original promissory notes, with us issuing new amended and restated promissory notes to such investors. The original promissory notes will be deemed cancelled as of the end of the day on October 31, 2023, and the new amended promissory notes will have an original issue date, and be deemed effective, as of November 1, 2023.

Other than the extension of the maturity dates, there were no other changes to the terms and conditions of the original promissory notes (except for the reduction in principal, as described below, and corresponding reduction in monthly installments of principal and interest). The new amended notes will continue to bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum. Of the new amended promissory notes, $9,100,000 are payable interest-only monthly (or quarterly) in arrears, with a final lump sum payment of principal and accrued and unpaid interest due on October 1, 2026. The remaining $6,620,578 in promissory notes are payable in monthly payments of principal and interest based on a 10-year amortization period, with the balance of the entire principal amount together with all accrued and unpaid interest due and payable in full on November 1, 2027. The original promissory notes that were returned and cancelled as consideration for the issuance of the $6,620,578 in new amended promissory notes had an original principal amount of $7,500,000 in October 2021.

Forms of the amended and restated promissory notes are filed hereto as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
