EXPLANATORY NOTE
The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Artelo Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company”) for the period ended June 30, 2026 (the “Original Report”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 12, 2026, is solely to amend Part II “Item 1. Legal Proceedings” to include information regarding an arbitration claim that was inadvertently omitted from the Original Report.
In addition, as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, new certifications of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer are filed as exhibits to this Amendment under Part II “Item 6. Exhibits”.
Except as described above, this Amendment makes no other changes to the Original Report. This Amendment does not reflect subsequent events occurring after the original filing of the Original Report or modify or update in any way those disclosures that may be affected by subsequent events. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Report and our other filings with the SEC.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may be involved in various claims and legal proceedings relating to claims arising out of our operations. As previously reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 27, 2026, on April 7, 2026, Craft Capital Management LLC (“Craft”) filed a FINRA arbitration claim against the Company seeking compensatory damages, equitable relief, attorneys’ fees and all other appropriate relief for, among other things, the Company’s alleged breach of the right of first refusal provision in the engagement letter agreement, dated March 16, 2026 (the “Engagement Letter”), between the Company and Craft, arising from the Company’s termination of the Engagement Letter on March 27, 2026, and subsequent closing of a private placement offering on March 30, 2026 for gross proceeds of approximately $11 million (the “Transaction”). Craft is seeking an $880,000 success fee, common stock warrants valued at $880,000, and monthly late fees in connection with the Transaction, in addition to reasonable attorneys’ fees, interest, and other such appropriate relief. On July 7, 2026, we submitted counterclaims against Craft for fraudulent inducement, breach of contract, violation of regulatory rules, and declaratory relief. This arbitration claim process is ongoing. Management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
