Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On February 18, 2026, The OLB Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor (the “Purchaser”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue, in a private placement offering, (i) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 2,857,142 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) (the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”) and (ii) common warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 3,571,428 shares of Common Stock (the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the “Warrant Shares”), at a combined purchase price per Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying Warrants of $1.05 (inclusive of the exercise price of $0.0001 to be paid upon exercise of each Pre-Funded Warrant) (the “Offering”).

The Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable, will expire upon exercise in full of all Pre-Funded Warrants and have an exercise price of $0.0001. The Warrants will be exercisable upon the Effective Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), will expire on the five-year anniversary of the Effective Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), and have an exercise price of $0.92 per share. The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company from the Offering were approximately $3.0 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses. The Offering closed on February 19, 2026.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and agreements by the Company and the Purchaser, customary conditions to closing, and customary indemnification obligations of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, until forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), subject to certain exceptions, the Company may not issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). The Company, subject to certain exceptions, also may not effect or enter into an agreement to effect an issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), or a combination of units thereof, involving a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) until six (6) months following the Effective Date; provided however, that after forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date, the entry into and/or issuance of shares of Common Stock in an “at the market” offering shall not be deemed a Variable Rate Transaction.

In addition, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to reduce the exercise price to $0.92 and extend the term for three years until February 19, 2029 of certain outstanding warrants issued to the Purchaser on August 23, 2021 and November 8, 2021.

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, on February 18, 2026, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Purchaser. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will be required to file a resale registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to register the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares and Warrant Shares for resale. The Company agreed to file the Registration Statement within 15 calendar days following the Company’s filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K, and to have such Registration Statement declared effective within 30 days following the filing date (or, in the event of a “full review” by the SEC, within 60 calendar days following the filing date. The Company will be obligated to pay liquidated damages to the Purchaser if the Company fails to file the Registration Statement when required or fails to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC when required.

The Pre-Funded Warrants, Warrants, Pre-Funded Warrant Shares and Warrant Shares were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and were offered pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

D. Boral Capital LLC (“D.

Boral. Pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, D. Boral received a cash fee of 6.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds paid to the Company for the securities sold in the Offering and reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket expenses of $50,000.
