Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On April 7, 2025 and April 9, 2025, Stryve Foods, Inc. (the “Company”) issued an aggregate of $1.1 million in principal amount of unsecured convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) to select accredited investors (the “Lenders”) inclusive of $0.6 million to a related party to fund inventory growth, growth in working capital, and general operations. The Notes were issued with an original issue discount of 10% and accrue interest annually at a rate of 12%. The Notes will mature at the earlier of (i) three (3) days after the date upon which the Company receives the proceeds from its Employee Retention Tax Credit from the Internal Revenue Service of $1 million or more, (ii) the date upon which the Company sells $6 million or more in equity for cash in an equity financing transaction, or (iii) nine (9) months after the date of funding of the Notes. In the event, the Notes are outstanding at the time the Company sells $6 million or more in equity for cash in an equity financing transaction, the Lenders have the right to convert the principal and unpaid interest on the same terms and price as other investors.

The foregoing description of the terms of the Notes are qualified in their entirety by reference to the form Note, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
