Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 24, 2024, that certain Commercial Lease, by and between Expion360 Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) and Charron Properties Incorporated, a California corporation (the “Landlord”), dated January 1, 2022 (the “Lease”), of 1266 SW Lake Blvd, Redmond, Oregon, 97756 (the “Property”), was voluntarily terminated to be effective as of October 1, 2024. The Property is approximately 31,400 square feet and was used by the Company for warehousing. The Lease termination is part of an effort by the Company to identify cost reduction opportunities, but does not change the Company’s overall strategy regarding leasing of property and the Company’s other facilities. The Company currently plans to continue operating its warehousing out of its Redmond, Oregon headquarters and Elkhart, Indiana locations. In connection with the termination of the Lease, the Company paid one extra month’s rent, a $30,000 fee and a broker commission of approximately $89,000, which the Company will recoup by the future cost savings of having terminated the Lease early. The Lease termination is expected to result in approximately $40,000 of cost savings per month over the next 51 months.
