Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 24, 2025, GD Culture Group Limited, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) entered into securities purchase agreements (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investor (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a private placement (the “Private Placement”), an aggregate of 1,333,334 shares of common stock (the “Shares”), par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a purchase price of $2.10 per share, for gross proceeds in the amount of approximately $2,800,000. The Company plans to use the process for working capital and general corporate purposes.

In the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Investor represented to the Company, among other things, that it is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)).

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to, within sixty (60) calendar days after the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, file a registration statement on the appropriate form providing for the resale by the Investor of the Shares.

In connection with the Private Placement, on October 24, 2025, the Company entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with Univest Securities, LLC (the “Placement Agent”). The Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent a total cash fee equal to seven percent (7%) of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in this Private Placement. The Company has also agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent for all reasonable and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Private Placement, including reasonable fees and expenses of the Placement Agent’s legal counsel and due diligence analysis up to $20,000.

The Private Placement closed on October 27, 2025. The Shares were issued and sold by the Company to the Investor in reliance upon the exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Form 8-K, including statements regarding future events, our future financial performance, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. We have attempted to identify forward-looking statements by terminology including “anticipates,” “believes,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “should,” or “will” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Although we do not make forward looking statements unless we believe we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks outlined under “Risk Factors” or elsewhere in this Form 8-K, which may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risk factors, nor can we address the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
