Item 3.02 Sale of Unregistered Equity Securities
Forbearance Agreement
On March 8, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), Optimus Healthcare Services, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a forbearance agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”) by and among the Company and Arena Investors, LP, as agent (“Agent”) for the purchasers of the Company’s senior secured convertible notes (collectively, the “Purchasers”) issued in May 2021 (the “May 2021 Notes”) and June 2022 (the “June 2022 Notes” and collectively with the May 2021 Notes, the “Notes”), pursuant to which, among other things: (i) the Agent and the Purchasers agreed to forbear from exercising their rights and remedies with respect to the Specified Events of Default (as defined in the Forbearance Agreement) under the Notes until that date which is the earliest to occur of: (a) April 22, 2024; (b) the date on which any event of default under the Notes (other than the Specified Events of Default) occurs; and (c) the date on which the Company or any of its subsidiaries fails to comply with any term set forth in the Forbearance Agreement; (ii) the Company and its subsidiaries agreed it shall not allow acceleration or make any cash principal or interest payment on account of any indebtedness held by KORR Acquisition Group, Inc. (“Subordinated Lender”); (iii) the Company agreed it would use commercially reasonable best efforts to consummate a sale of some or all of the assets of its CRA business, a sale of some or all of the equity interests of the CRA business, or a merger of the CRA business, in each case, to an independent, non-affiliated third party in an arms’ length transaction, subject to satisfaction of certain milestones; (iv) the Company agreed it would use commercially reasonable best efforts to consummate an equity financing that results in gross proceeds of at least $2,000,000 to the Company on or prior to February 28, 2025, subject to consent of the Purchasers, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld (a “Qualified Subsequent Financing”); (v) subject to approval by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) or appropriate committee thereunder, the Company agreed to promptly appoint to the Company’s Board a nominee suggested by the Agent; and (vi) the Agent and the Purchasers provided their conditional consent to allow the Company to sell up to $350,000 of subordinated bridge notes, subject to certain conditions.
In connection with the Forbearance Agreement, the Company acknowledged that accrued and unpaid interest through January 1, 2024, fees, costs, and other amounts due to the Agent and the Purchasers under the Notes and the other transaction documents entered into between the parties was equal to $197,816.64 (exclusive of liquidated damages under Section 4.24 of the Security Purchase Agreements (as defined in the Forbearance Agreement) (the “Owed Amount”). The Company agreed to issue to the Purchasers an aggregate of 3,165,066 shares of common stock in satisfaction of such Owed Amount. The securities issued and sold in this transaction were not registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state, and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Regulation D promulgated thereunder and corresponding provisions of state securities laws, which exempt transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. The Purchasers are each an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

Amended and Restated Notes
On the Effective Date, the Company entered into amended and restated Notes with the Purchasers (the “Amended Notes”) pursuant to which, the Company agreed, among other things: (i) to pay interest to the Purchasers on the aggregate unconverted and then outstanding principal amount of this Note at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum beginning on or after May 2, 2023; (ii) commencing with the January 1, 2024 interest payment and thereafter, the Company, at its option may make interest payments and payment of other amounts due and payable under Amended Notes in shares of Common Stock of the Company at a price per share equal to the lesser of (a) $0.0625 or (b) 100% of the closing sale price on the day that is immediately prior to the applicable payment date or in cash; (iii) to allow the Amended Notes to be convertible into shares of Common Stock or, upon prior written notice, such number of shares of a to-be-issued class of preferred stock of the Company on the earliest of: (a) the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Amended Notes), (b) consummation of a Qualified Subsequent Financing, and (c) on or after the date on which such Conversion Shares are eligible to be sold under Rule 144 without the need for current public information; (iv) the conversion price in the Amended Notes shall now be equal to the lower of (a) $0.0625 or (b) the price of the securities issued in a Qualified Subsequent Financing completed within the one (1) year anniversary of the Current Issue Date, subject to adjustment; and (v) upon consummation of a Qualified Subsequent Financing, the outstanding principal amount of the Amended Notes plus all accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any other payment due thereunder, shall automatically, without any further action required by the Purchasers, be converted into shares of a class of the Company’s, yet-to-be-issued senior convertible preferred stock, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Purchasers, at the conversion price then in effect.
