Eightco Holdings Inc. 8-K

What Happened
Eightco Holdings, Inc. (ORBS) filed a Form 8-K reporting that, effective January 2, 2026, it executed Amendment(s) to existing Lock-Up Agreements to push back the release timing for certain beneficially owned shares. The original Lock-Up Agreements were dated September 8, 2025; the amendments extend the release by multiple months while leaving all other terms unchanged. The company also issued a press release on January 5, 2026 providing an update on its business and operations.

Key Details

• Amendment effective date: January 2, 2026; original lock-ups dated September 8, 2025.
• Change: multi-month extension of the timing when beneficial owners’ shares may be released; all other lock-up terms remain in effect.
• A form of the Amendment to Lock-Up Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 (certain portions redacted per Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S‑K).
• Company press release dated January 5, 2026 is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and summarizes operational/business updates.

Why It Matters
Extending lock-up release dates delays when insiders or other beneficial holders can sell shares, which can affect share supply and investor expectations about near-term selling pressure. The press release provides the company’s current business update for investors to assess operations alongside this change to share release timing. The filed exhibits (including a redacted amendment form) give investors documentation of the agreement; unredacted materials are available to the SEC on request.
