Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On May 5, 2026, HNO International, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "MSC Purchase Agreement") with Monroe Street Capital Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the "MSC Buyer"), pursuant to which the Company issued to the MSC Buyer a Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $67,500 (the "MSC Note") and a Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase up to 385,000 shares of the Company's common stock (the "MSC Warrant"), in exchange for gross proceeds of $62,500. The MSC Buyer withheld $3,000 from the proceeds at funding to cover the MSC Buyer's legal fees in connection with the transactions contemplated by the MSC Purchase Agreement, and withheld an additional $1,875 from the proceeds at funding to cover fees payable to Craft Capital Management LLC (CRD#: 171350), a registered broker-dealer acting as placement agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by the MSC Purchase Agreement, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $57,625.

Convertible Promissory Note

The MSC Note has a principal amount of $67,500, which includes an original issue discount of $5,000. The MSC Note bears a one-time interest charge of 8% on the principal amount (equal to $5,400), which is guaranteed and earned in full as of the issue date. The MSC Note matures on May 5, 2027, twelve (12) months from the issue date.

The MSC Note is convertible, at the option of the MSC Buyer, at any time on or following the issue date, into shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), at a conversion price equal to 60% of the lowest traded price of the Common Stock on the principal trading market during the twenty (20) trading days prior to the applicable conversion date, subject to adjustment as set forth in the MSC Note. The MSC Buyer is entitled to deduct $1,750 from the conversion amount in each notice of conversion to cover the MSC Buyer's conversion-related fees. The MSC Buyer's right to convert the MSC Note is subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation.

Upon an event of default, the MSC Note shall become immediately due and payable at an amount equal to 150% of outstanding principal and accrued interest through the date of repayment, plus costs of collection, all without demand or notice. Default interest shall accrue at the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law. The MSC Buyer retains the right to convert all or any portion of the MSC Note, including any default amount, into shares of Common Stock at any time, including after the maturity date. Events of default include, among others, failure to pay principal or interest when due, failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon conversion, breach of representations, warranties, or covenants under the MSC Purchase Agreement, the Company's failure to maintain the required share reserve, cross-default with other Company indebtedness after expiration of applicable cure periods, consummation of a Variable Rate Transaction, failure to maintain a minimum market capitalization of $3,000,000 on any Trading Day, and failure to comply with the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Common Stock Purchase Warrant

In connection with the MSC Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to the MSC Buyer a Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase up to 385,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share. The MSC Warrant is exercisable at any time commencing on May 5, 2026 and expires on May 5, 2031, five (5) years from the issuance date. The MSC Warrant may be exercised on a cashless basis when the market price of one share of Common Stock exceeds the exercise price and no effective registration statement covers the MSC Buyer's resale of all Warrant Shares at prevailing market prices. The MSC Buyer's right to exercise the MSC Warrant is subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation.

Share Reservation

In connection with the foregoing, the Company entered into an Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instruction Letter and Memorandum of Understanding with Pacific Stock Transfer Company, the Company's transfer agent (collectively, the "Transfer Agent Instructions"), pursuant to which the Company has irrevocably reserved 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance upon conversion of the MSC Note and exercise of the MSC Warrant. The MSC Note requires a minimum reserve of the greater of 20,000,000 shares or four times the number of shares issuable upon full conversion at the then-applicable conversion price. The MSC Buyer has the right to increase the share reservation at any time without the Company's consent.

The securities described herein were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The MSC Buyer represented that it is an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.

The MSC Purchase Agreement prohibits the Company from entering into any Variable Rate Transaction while the MSC Note remains outstanding, restricts the Company from issuing any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents for 30 calendar days following the date of the MSC Purchase Agreement, and grants the MSC Buyer participation rights in any future Company offering of debt or equity securities until the later of (i) 18 months from the date of the MSC Purchase Agreement or (ii) the date the MSC Note is extinguished in its entirety.

The foregoing description of the MSC Note, the MSC Warrant and the MSC Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, and 10.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
