Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 26, 2022, American Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") and the holders (collectively, the "Holders") of the Company's senior secured convertible notes issued in April 2022 (the "Convertible Notes"), Series A Warrants issued in November 2021 (the "Series A Warrants"), Series D Warrants issued in December 2021 (the "Series D Warrants") and Warrants issued pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of February 28, 2022 (the "February Warrants" and, collectively with the Series A Warrants and Series D Warrants, the "Existing Warrants"), entered into a Settlement Agreement (the "Settlement Agreement"). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the parties thereto agreed, among other things, to effect, on the date of the Settlement Agreement, a series of sequential transactions consisting of one or more exercises of certain of the Existing Warrants, each followed by an exchange, in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), of the shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), into rights (the "Rights") to acquire an aggregate of 92,799,632 shares of Common Stock (the "Rights Shares" and, collectively with the 7,200,368 shares of Common Stock into which the remaining principal amount of the Convertible Notes are currently convertible, the "New Shares") of Common Stock. Upon the issuance of the Rights pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Holders will have no further right to exercise the Existing Warrants, all of which will be canceled and terminated.

Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Holders agreed that they would not, directly or indirectly, sell or otherwise dispose of any New Shares on any calendar day through and including September 30, 2022, to the extent that any such sale or other disposition of shares would exceed 10% of the daily composite trading volume of the Common Stock through the time of sale on any such date, excluding any sales of New Shares at a price greater than $0.30 per share. In addition, the Company agreed not to issue or sell, or offer to issue or sell, any equity or equity-linked securities through the Lien Release Date (as defined below), subject to certain exceptions. In addition, the Holders agreed to release any liens and security interests granted to the Holders in connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, effective upon the earlier of the issuance of all the New Shares, or the first date on or after October 6, 2022 on which the Company has issued all of the New Shares as to which the Holders have properly delivered a notice of conversion or notice of exercise, as applicable, on or before October 5, 2022 (such date, the "Lien Release Date"). The Settlement Agreement also contains mutual releases by each of the parties, other than with respect to the right to enforce certain provisions of the Settlement Agreement.
