Bright Mountain Media, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries are parties to an Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement between itself, the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), and Centre Lane Partners Master Credit Fund II, L.P., as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (“Centre Lane Partners”), dated June 5, 2020, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”).

Effective as of September 30, 2025, the Company and its subsidiaries, CL Media Holdings LLC, Bright Mountain LLC, MediaHouse, Inc., Deep Focus Agency LLC, and BV Insights LLC, Centre Lane Partners, and the Lenders entered into the Twenty-Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement (the “Twenty-Third Amendment”) to amend certain terms of the Credit Agreement. All capitalized terms used below and not defined have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Twenty-Third Amendment. The principal changes to the Credit Agreement made in the Twenty-Third Amendment include, but are not limited to, the following:

	(i)	Adjusting the amortization of the First Out Loans such that the quarterly installment due on September 30, 2025 with respect to the First Out Loans was reduced from $575,000 to $250,000, with the payment of the difference being deferred until the maturity date of the First Out Loans, which is December 20, 2026;

	(ii)	Adjusting the amortization of the Second Out Loans such that the quarterly installment due on September 30, 2025 with respect to the Second Out Loans, which was approximately $390,000, was deferred in its entirety until the maturity date of the Second Out Loans, which is December 20, 2026; and

	(iii)	Adjusting the payment of interest accrued on the First Out Loans and the Second Out Loans for the interest period ended September 30, 2025, which totaled approximately $257,000, such that the interest payment for each of the First Out Loans and the Second Out Loans due on September 30, 2025 was payable-in-kind in lieu of a cash payment.

In connection with the Twenty-Third Amendment and as consideration therefor, the Company agreed to (i) pay an amendment fee to Centre Lane Partners for the ratable accounts of the Lenders equal to twenty-five (25) basis points of the First Out Loans, approximately $8,000, which amendment fee was paid on September 30, 2025 by adding the amount thereof to the outstanding principal balance of the First Out Loans, and (ii) issue a number of shares of the common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), equal to 1.5% of the fully-diluted pro forma ownership of the Company as of September 30, 2025, or 2,832,485 shares of Common Stock, to Centre Lane Partners. Following such issuance, Centre Lane Partners and its affiliates collectively beneficially own approximately 25% of the Common Stock.

As of October 6, 2025, approximately $83.3 million remains outstanding under the Credit Agreement, with approximately $1.2 million of such amount due on December 31, 2025.
