Private Placement
Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement
On
September 7, 2026, Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Preferred
Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company and five institutional investors
(each an “Investor”, together the “Investors”) for the issuance and sale in a private placement (the
“Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 3,750 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share
and a stated value of $1,000 per share, initially convertible into approximately 715,649 shares (the “Conversion Shares”)
of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), at an initial conversion price of $5.24
per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”).
The Private Placement is exempt from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to the exemption
for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation
D of the Securities Act and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws. Each Investor has represented to the Company
that it is an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, and such Investor is acquiring the applicable securities
for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof. The Series
B Preferred Stock were offered and sold without any general solicitation by the Company or its representatives.
The closing of the Private Placement
is expected to occur on or about September 9, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), subject to the satisfaction of customary closing
conditions. The gross proceeds to the Company from the Private Placement are expected to be approximately $3.75 million, before estimated
offering fees and expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds received from the Private Placement for
working capital.
Preferred Stock
The terms of the Series B Preferred
Stock are as set forth in the form of Certificate of Designation (the “Certificate of Designation”), attached hereto as Exhibit
3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”), which will be filed with the Secretary of State of the State
of Delaware prior to the closing of the Private Placement.
Shares of Series B Preferred Stock
will be convertible into the Conversion Shares at the election of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Holders”)
at any time after the Initial Issuance Date (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) at an initial conversion price of $5.24 per
share (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price will be subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock
splits, reclassifications, stock combinations and the like. A Holder may not convert any portion of the Series B Preferred Stock to the
extent that the Holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares
of Common Stock immediately after conversion. Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, as determined by the board of directors of
the Company (the “Board”), the Holders can receive dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock. No other dividends may be paid
on shares of the Series B Preferred Stock. Except as otherwise set in the Certificate of Designation or as required by law, the Holders
of Series B Preferred Stock will have no voting rights and will not be entitled to call a meeting of such holders for any purpose.
However, as long as any shares of
Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company may not, without the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose,
or the written consent without a meeting, of such Holders, voting together as a single class, (a) amend or repeal any provision of, or
add any provision to, its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or file any certificate of designations or articles of amendment of
any series of shares of preferred stock, if such action would adversely alter or change in any respect the preferences, rights, privileges
or powers, or restrictions provided for the benefit of the Series B Preferred Stock hereunder, regardless of whether any such action
shall be by means of amendment to the certificate of incorporation or by merger, consolidation or otherwise; (b) increase or decrease
(other than by conversion) the authorized number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock; (c) create or authorize (by reclassification
or otherwise) any new class or series of senior preferred stock or parity stock; (d) purchase, repurchase or redeem any shares of junior
stock (other than pursuant to the terms of the Company’s equity incentive plans and options and other equity awards granted under
such plans (that have in good faith been approved by the Board)); (e) pay dividends or make any other distribution on any shares of any
junior stock; (f) issue any Series B Preferred Stock other than as contemplated hereby or pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; or (g)
whether or not prohibited by the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock, circumvent a right of the Series B Preferred Stock.
There is no established public trading
market for the Series B Preferred Stock, and the Company does not intend to list the Series B Preferred Stock on any national securities
exchange or nationally recognized trading system.
