Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 26, 2023, ProPhase Labs, Inc. (the "Company") issued an unsecured promissory note and guaranty for an aggregate principal amount of $7.6 million (the "Note") to JXVII Trust ("JXVII"). The Note is due and payable on January 27, 2026, the third anniversary of the date on which the Note was funded (the "Closing Date"), and accrues interest at a rate of 10% per year from the Closing Date, payable on a quarterly basis, until the Note is repaid in full. The Company has the right to prepay the Note at any time after the Closing Date and prior to the maturity date without premium or penalty upon providing seven days' written notice to JXVII. Repayment of the Note has been guaranteed by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Pharmaloz Manufacturing, Inc.

The Note contains customary events of default. If a default occurs and is not cured within the applicable cure period or is not waived, any outstanding obligations under the Note may be accelerated. The Note also contains certain restrictive covenants which, among other things, restrict the Company's ability to create, incur, assume or permit to exist, directly or indirectly, any lien (other than certain permitted liens described in the Note) securing any indebtedness of the Company, and prohibits the Company from distributing or reinvesting the proceeds from any divestment of assets (other than in the ordinary course) without the prior approval of JXVII.

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Note for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include capital expenditures, product development and commercialization expenditures, and acquisitions of companies, businesses, technologies and products within and outside the consumer products industry.

In partial consideration for the loan being made by JXVII to the Company, the Company issued a common stock purchase warrant (the "Warrant") to JXVII on the Closing Date, granting JXVII the right to subscribe for and purchase from the Company up to 76,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0005 per share (the "Warrant Shares"), at an exercise price of $9.00 per share (subject to adjustment as described in the Warrant). The Warrant may also be exercised, in whole in part, by means of a cashless exercise. The Warrant is exercisable at any time on or after the date on which the Warrant was issued and expires on the five year anniversary of the issue date.

The foregoing description of the Note and the Warrant does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Note and Warrant, which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
