Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
From June 27, 2025 through July 1, 2025, Accelsius Holdings LLC (“Accelsius”), a controlled subsidiary of Innventure, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), issued convertible unsecured promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $13,000,000 with an option to issue additional convertible unsecured promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000, subject to certain conditions.
Accelsius issued convertible unsecured promissory notes (collectively, the “Term Convertible Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of $12,000,000 to certain investors, including WE-Inn LLC and Ascent Accelsius, A Series of Ascent X Innventure, LP, each of which is considered to be a Related Party (as defined in the Company’s Related Party Transactions Policy) (collectively, the “Investors”). The Term Convertible Notes will be convertible, at the discretion of the Investors, into Series A Units of Accelsius on or after January 2, 2026 and at a price per unit equal to $12.175, bear interest at the applicable federal rate and mature on December 31, 2026. Accelsius will apply the proceeds from the issuance of the Term Convertible Notes to repay (the “Repayment”) borrowings under that certain Loan and Security Agreement between Innventure LLC and Accelsius, dated as of March 30, 2023 (as amended to date, the “Innventure Convertible Line of Credit”). As a result of the Repayment, the Company’s indirect beneficial holdings, through Innventure LLC, of Accelsius may be reduced in the event that the Term Convertible Notes are converted into Series A Units of Accelsius.
Accelsius also sold a convertible unsecured promissory note (the “Bridge Convertible Note”) in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 to Joshua Claman, Chief Executive Officer of Accelsius. An additional $2,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Bridge Convertible Notes is issuable in $1,000,000 increments, upon the request of Accelsius and subject to Mr. Claman’s sole discretion. The Bridge Convertible Notes are convertible into equity of Accelsius (including preferred equity at a discount if certain conditions are met), bear interest at a rate of 15% per annum, and mature on December 31, 2025.
Additionally, the Company, Innventure LLC, and Accelsius entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with Mr. Claman pursuant to which Innventure LLC will not seek repayment of any portion of that Innventure Convertible Line of Credit other than the repayment of up to $12,000,000 that is anticipated to be made immediately following the issuance by Accelsius of the Term Convertible Notes, while any Bridge Convertible Notes remain outstanding.
The Bridge Convertible Notes and the Term Convertible Notes contain customary representations, warranties, and other agreements by Accelsius and, in the case of the Term Convertible Notes, the Investors. Each of WTI Fund X, Inc. and WTI Fund XI, Inc. (the “WTI Lenders”) and YA II PN, Ltd (“Yorkville”) have been granted certain rights under the Bridge Convertible Notes and the Term Convertible Notes, including with respect to restrictions on payment of the Bridge Convertible Notes and the Term Convertible Notes prior to the repayment of certain of the WTI Lenders’ and Yorkville’s existing indebtedness.
The foregoing summary of the Term Convertible Notes, the Letter Agreement and the Bridge Convertible Notes are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the Term Convertible Notes, the Letter Agreement and the Bridge Convertible Notes, forms of which are included as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 10.2 and Exhibit 10.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
As previously disclosed, in December 2024, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Innventure, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a grant of 150,000 appreciation rights (“SARs”) to each of Mike Otworth (the Company’s Executive Chairman) and Dr. John Scott (the Company’s Chief Strategy Officer). The SARs represent the right of the officer to receive a number of shares of the common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) with a value equal to the appreciation in the value of a Class A Common Unit of Accelsius Holdings LLC over a base price of $12.175 (the “Spread”). In general, the SARs will be automatically exercised


upon the earliest to occur of: (a) the 24-month anniversary of the grant date, (b) the officer’s death, or (c) the officer’s “disability” (as defined in the applicable award agreement).
On June 25, 2025, each of Mr. Otworth and Dr. Scott entered into an amendment to his SAR award (each, a “SAR Amendment”) to (1) clarify that any payment by the Company to the applicable officer with respect to the SARs will be made in the form of shares of Common Stock and (2) to provide that the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to each officer’s SAR award is 1,875,000 (the “Share Cap”). Under the SAR Amendment, the Company will not be required to pay either officer any amount in excess of the Share Cap (in the form of either equity or cash), even if the value of the number of shares of Common Stock issued in settlement of the SARs is less than the aggregate Spread as a result of the Share Cap.
The foregoing summary of the SAR Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the SAR Amendment, a form of which is included as Exhibit 10.4 and is incorporated herein by reference.
