Material Agreement Form 8 K

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 11, 2024, RocketFuel Blockchain, Inc. ("we" or the "Company") issued to a private investor a convertible note in the face amount of $250,000. In exchange the investor paid us $250,000 in cash. The note does not bear interest and matures on June 11, 2025. Principal of the note is due and payable at maturity and is convertible at any time in whole or in part into shares of our Series C Convertible Stock ("Series C Preferred") at a conversion price of $0.80 per share (the "Conversion Price"). We may redeem the note at any time by paying the note holder the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Upon (a) a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any person in a single transaction or series of related transactions, (b) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another person or entity in which the Company is not the surviving entity (other than a merger which is effected solely to change the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company and results in a reclassification, Conversion or exchange of outstanding shares of Series C Preferred solely into shares of Series C Preferred) (each of items (a) and (b) being referred to as a "Sale Event"), then, in each case, the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, redeem the Note in cash for its then unpaid principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest through the date of redemption, or at the election of the Holder, such Holder may convert the unpaid principal amount of this Note (together with the amount of accrued but unpaid interest) into shares of Series C Preferred immediately prior to such Sale Event at the Conversion Price.

In case of any Sale Event in connection with which the note is not redeemed or converted, we shall cause effective provision to be made so that the holder of the note shall have the right thereafter, by converting the note, to purchase or convert the note into the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization or other change, consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Series C Preferred that could have been purchased upon exercise of the note and at the Conversion Price. The foregoing provisions shall similarly apply to successive Sale Events. If the consideration received by the holders of Series C Preferred is other than cash, the value shall be as determined by our Board of Directors or successor person or entity acting in good faith.

The Series C Preferred has a 100% liquidation preference over the common stock, payable in the event of a liquidation or merger of us, and ranks pari pasu with our Series A, Series B-1 and Series B-2 Preferred Stock. The Series C Preferred is convertible at the option of the stockholder into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.80 per share, subject to adjustment for certain stock splits, recapitalizations and other similar events.

The form of convertible note and the Certificates of Designation for the Series C Preferred are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 3.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
