Warrant Repurchase Agreement

On February 16, 2026, Creative Realities, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Warrant Repurchase Agreement (the “Warrant Repurchase Agreement”) with Slipstream Communications, LLC (the “Warrant Holder”). Under the Warrant Repurchase Agreement, the Company agreed to repurchase from the Warrant Holder a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), for an aggregate repurchase price of $200,000. The Warrant was initially issued to the Warrant Holder pursuant to a Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of February 17, 2022, by and among the Company, the Warrant Holder and the other signatories thereto and was subsequently amended and restated twice, as of June 30, 2022 and as of October 17, 2024, respectively. As amended and restated, the Warrant was exercisable for up to an aggregate of 1,731,499 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price per Warrant Share equal to $6.00. The closing of the Warrant repurchase (the “Warrant Repurchase”) was completed on February 17, 2026. Upon settlement of the transaction, the Warrant was cancelled and is of no further force or effect.

First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On February 16, 2026, and in conjunction with the Warrant Repurchase, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) with the other loan parties signatory thereto (the “Loan Parties”), the financial institutions or other entities from time to time parties thereto (the “Lenders”), and First Merchants Bank, an Indiana bank, as Agent for the Lenders (“Agent”). The Amendment amended the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of November 6, 2025 (the “Credit Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amendment, the Agent and Lenders provided requisite consent to the Company for the Warrant Repurchase and the parties agreed that payment of the Warrant Repurchase price would not reduce the amount of “Excess Cash Flow” of the Company for purposes of determining certain Company prepayment obligations.

The foregoing descriptions of the Warrant Repurchase Agreement and the Amendment are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On February 18, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing the Warrant Repurchase, which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section and shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filing.
