Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 20, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), Olaplex, Inc. (“Olaplex”), a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Olaplex Holdings, Inc., entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), among Olaplex, Purvala Bioscience, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purvala”), the stockholders and optionholders of Purvala (the “Former Holders”), including Lavinia Popescu, the Chief Science and Research Officer of Olaplex Holdings, Inc., and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, as the representative of the Former Holders, pursuant to which Olaplex acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Purvala for an aggregate purchase price of $10,500,000, subject to certain adjustments.

Purvala is a Boston-based company founded by Dr. Bradley Olsen that seeks to develop transformative bioinspired technologies with applications across health and beauty industries.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, indemnification and other provisions. In addition, Olaplex deposited $1,050,000 of the aggregate purchase price into an escrow account, which funds will be available to Olaplex until the fifteen-month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Escrow Release Date”) in order to satisfy any payment obligations of the Former Holders with respect to Olaplex’s indemnification rights under the Purchase Agreement, and any amounts remaining in the escrow account will be disbursed to the Former Holders after the Escrow Release Date.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference. The Purchase Agreement is not intended to provide any other information about Olaplex, Purvala or their respective subsidiaries and affiliates. The Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties that are the product of negotiations among the parties thereto and the parties made to, and solely for the benefit of, each other as of specified dates. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed to by the respective parties and are also qualified in important part by confidential disclosure schedules delivered by the respective parties to the Purchase Agreement. The representations and warranties may have been made for the purpose of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the agreements instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors.
