Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 1, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), Safe & Green Holdings Corp. (the “Company”), SG Echo LLC (“SG Echo”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and SG Environmental Solutions Corp. (“SG Environmental”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement”) with Farnam Street Financial, Inc. (“Farnam”) to resolve pending litigation between Farnam and the Company (the “Litigation”). The Litigation is currently pending before the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota (Case No. 23-CV-3212) and is based on alleged breaches by the Company of that certain lease agreement between Farnam and the Company, entered into on or around October 13, 2021 (the “Lease”), and the related Lease Schedule No. 001 entered into in connection with the Lease (“Schedule 1”).

Simultaneously with the execution of the Settlement, (i) the Company, SG Environmental and Farnam entered into an assignment and assumption agreement (the “Assignment”), pursuant to which SG Environmental was substituted for the Company as the lessee under the Lease, and (ii) SG Environmental and Farnam executed a new Lease Schedule No. 001R (“Schedule 1R”), which replaced Schedule 1 in its entirety. The salient terms of the Lease and Schedule 1R are as follows: (i) SG Environmental will be the signatory under the “Lessee” under the Lease; (ii) the initial term (the “Initial Term”) of Schedule 1R is 18 months; (iii) the “Commencement Date” of Schedule 1R is August 1, 2024; (iv) the original cost of the equipment subject to Schedule 1R is $1,556,163.00; (v) so long as there has been no “Default” under the Lease and Schedule 1R, SG Environmental shall have the option to purchase the equipment at the end of the Initial Term for thirty-five percent (35%) of the original cost of the equipment, or $544,657.05, plus applicable taxes; (vi) the “Monthly Lease Charge” under Schedule 1R is $65,880.95, plus applicable taxes; and (vii) SG Environmental shall provide a new security deposit under Schedule 1R in the amount of $167,056.00 (“New Deposit”), which shall be paid on or before August 1, 2024.

Simultaneously with the execution of the Settlement, the Company and SG Echo executed a guaranty (the “Guaranty”), whereby each of the Company and SG Echo jointly and severally guarantee SG Environmental’s full and prompt payment and performance under the Lease and Schedule 1R.

Per the Settlement, Farnam shall retain as income all prior payments from the Company (or any Company affiliate) under the Lease, Schedule 1, or any other agreement with the Company or its affiliates, including all monthly lease charges, interim rent, taxes, interest, fees, late charges, and any security deposits, including the Schedule 1 deposit. Additionally, Farnam and the Company shall prepare and file a stipulation dismissing the Litigation within five (5) business days of the Effective Date.

Under the terms of the Settlement, Farnam and the Company each agree to waive and release any and all claims against the other, except with respect to each party’s performance under the Settlement and each party’s future obligations under the Lease, Schedule 1R and Guaranty agreements. Simultaneously with the execution of the Settlement, the Company, SG Echo, and SG Environmental have executed a confession of judgment (the “Confession”).

The foregoing descriptions of the Settlement, Schedule 1R, the Assignment, the Guaranty, and the Confession are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Settlement, Schedule 1R, the Assignment, the Guaranty and the Confession, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5, respectively, and are incorporated herein in their entirety by reference.
