As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 30, 2023, Socket Mobile, Inc. (the “Company”) completed a secured subordinated convertible note financing of $1,600,000 on May 26, 2023. On March 18, 2026, the Company and the requisite holders of the outstanding notes entered into a Secured Subordinated Convertible Note Extension Agreement (the “Extension Agreement”), extending the maturity date of the notes from May 26, 2026 to May 26, 2028. All other terms and conditions of the notes remain in full force and effect.
The foregoing description of the Extension Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Extension Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Certain Relationships
Charlie Bass, Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and Bill Parnell, the Company’s Board director, currently hold outstanding notes. Because the Extension Agreement involved such parties related to the Company, a special committee of the Board comprising the Board’s disinterested directors approved the Extension Agreement.

This Secured Subordinated Convertible Note Extension Agreement (“Extension Agreement”) is entered into as of March 18, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Socket Mobile, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Borrower”) and the holders listed on Schedule A hereto (“Holder”).

WHEREAS, the principal amount of the Notes outstanding as of the Effective Date is set forth opposite each Holder’s name on Schedule A hereto.
WHEREAS, the Company and the undersigned Holders, representing a Majority in Interest of Holders, desire to amend the Notes to extend the maturity date of the Notes from May 26, 2026 to May 26, 2028.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

2. The parties agree that, as of the Effective Date, there exists relative to the Notes no default or any Event of Default as defined therein.
3. Other than as set forth herein, all other terms and conditions of the Notes remain unchanged and in full effect. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Notes.
4. This Extension Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Extension Agreement.
