Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 29, 2022, Guardion Health Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with certain institutional investors (the "Investors"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a private placement (the "Offering"), 495,000 shares of the Company's Series C Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share and stated value of $10.00 per share (the "Series C Preferred Stock"), and 5,000 shares of the Company's Series D Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share and stated value of $10.00 per share (the "Series D Preferred Stock"), which are collectively referred to herein as the "Preferred Stock", at an offering price of $9.50 per share, representing a 5% original issue discount to the stated value of $10.00 per share, for gross proceeds of $4,750,000 in the aggregate for the Offering, before the deduction of discounts, fees and offering expenses. The shares of Series C Preferred Stock will be convertible, at a conversion price of $0.15768 per share (subject in certain circumstances to adjustments), into shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), at the option of the holders and, in certain circumstances, mandatorily by the Company. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company and customary conditions to closing. The Offering closed on November 30, 2022.

The Company intends to call a special meeting of stockholders to consider an amendment (the "Amendment") to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to authorize a reverse split of the Common Stock (the "Reverse Split"). Each Investor has separately agreed pursuant to a side letter (the "Side Letter") to vote their respective shares of Preferred Stock on the Reverse Split proposal at the special meeting of stockholders and to not transfer, offer, sell, contract to sell, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise dispose of the shares of the Preferred Stock, unless and until the Reverse Split has been approved by the Company's stockholders. Pursuant to the certificate of designation of the Series C Preferred Stock, the shares of Series C Preferred Stock have the right to vote on such Amendment on an as-converted to Common Stock basis. In addition, pursuant to the Side Letter, the shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall automatically be voted in a manner that "mirrors" the proportions on which the shares of Common Stock (excluding any shares of Common Stock that are not voted) and Series C Preferred Stock are voted on the Amendment. The Amendment requires the approval of the majority of the votes associated with the Company's outstanding classes of stock entitled to vote on the proposal. Because the Series D Preferred Stock will automatically and without further action of the purchaser be voted in a manner that "mirrors" the proportions on which the shares of Common Stock (excluding any shares of Common Stock that are not voted) and Series C Preferred Stock are voted on the Reverse Split, abstentions by common stockholders will not have any effect on the votes cast by the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on November 29, 2022, the Company filed separate certificates of designation (each, a "Certificate of Designation") with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware designating the rights, preferences and limitations of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, which will provide, in particular, that the Preferred Stock will have no voting rights other than the right to vote on the Amendment and as a class on certain other specified matters, and, with respect to the Series D Certificate of Designation, the right to cast 1,000,000 votes per share of Series D Preferred Stock on the Reverse Split proposal, provided that the Series D preferred stock contains a provision that limits the total voting power of a holder of Series D preferred stock to a maximum of 9.99% of the total voting power of the Company.

The holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock will be entitled to dividends, on an as-if converted basis, equal to dividends actually paid, if any, on shares of Common Stock. The Series C Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holders and, in certain circumstances, by the Company, into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.15768 per share. The conversion price can be adjusted pursuant to the Series C Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation for stock dividends and stock splits, subsequent rights offering, pro rata distributions of dividends or the occurrence of a fundamental transaction (as defined in the applicable Certificate of Designation). The holders of the . . .
