Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 5, 2025, Sono-Tek Corporation (the “Company”) agreed with R. Stephen Harshbarger, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, Christoper L. Coccio, the Company’s Executive Chairman, and Stephen J. Bagley, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, to terminate the respective Executive Agreements between the Company and such officers (the “Original Agreements”). The Original Agreements provided for the Company to make certain payments to such officers if their employment with the Company was terminated without “Cause” (as defined in the Original Agreements) by the Company or if a “Resignation for Good Reason” (as defined in the Original Agreements) occurred following a “Change of Control” (as defined in the Original Agreements) of the Company.

On November 5, 2025, the Company entered into new Executive Agreements (the “Executive Agreements”) with each of Messrs. Harshbarger, Coccio and Bagley in replacement of the Original Agreements. The Executive Agreements provide for the Company to make certain payments to such officers if their employment with the Company is terminated without “Cause” (as defined in the Executive Agreements) by the Company or if a “Resignation for Good Reason” (as defined in the Executive Agreements) occurs following a “Change of Control” (as defined in the Executive Agreements) of the Company. The Executive Agreements are substantially similar to the Original Agreements, however, the Executive Agreements contain an expanded definition of “Resignation for Good Reason” in addition to other modifications.
