Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 3, 2024 by Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company”), on April 29, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement that allowed it to raise $175 million of additional working capital prior to June 6, 2024 from two financing parties and to make a $75 million loan prepayment under its principal credit facility.

Redbox Automated Retail, LLC (“Redbox Borrower”, and together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), the other guarantors listed on the signature pages thereto (the “Guarantors”, and together with the Borrowers, the “Loan Parties”) entered into an Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Lenders to the Credit Agreement (as defined below) listed on the signature pages thereto and HPS Investment Partners, LLC, in its capacity as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacities, the “Agent”) under the amended and restated credit agreement, dated as of August 11, 2022, among the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Agent, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified by that certain first amendment, dated as of April 29, 2024 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).

As previously reported, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company intended to consummate certain strategic transactions for which it has signed term sheets that have been reviewed with the Lenders, including the sublicensing of material video content assets and one or more sales leaseback transactions with targeted aggregate gross proceeds of at least $175 million. If the Company was able to successfully consummate these transactions in their entirety, it was obligated to utilize $75 million of the net proceeds thereof prior to June 6, 2024 to pay down amounts owed under the Credit Agreement (the “Initial Paydown”). Until at least June 6, 2024 (the period beginning on April 29, 2024 and ending on such date, as it may be extended, the “Initial Period”) the Agent agreed to forbear from acting on any events of default existing as of the commencement of the Initial Period as well as certain prescribed defaults that may arise during the Initial Period (as same may be extended as described below).

On June 6, 2024, the Agent agreed to extend the Initial Period until the close of business (5:00 pm NY time) on Friday, June7, 2024, and thereafter agreed to additional extensions through the close of business on Monday, June 10, 2024 and Tuesday, June 11, 2024. These extensions have expired.
