Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement

On July 19, 2022, biote Corp. (the “Company”) entered into an Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement, by and among the Company, Haymaker Sponsor III LLC (the “Sponsor”) and the other partiers thereto (the “A&R IRA”), which amends and restates the Investor Rights Agreement dated as of May 26, 2022 (the “Prior IRA”), by and among the Company, the Sponsor and the other parties thereto.

Pursuant to the terms of the Prior IRA, among other things, (i) the Members (as defined therein) agreed not to, subject to certain exceptions, transfer, sell, assign or otherwise dispose of the shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A common stock”), the Company’s Class V common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class V common stock” and, together with the Class A common stock, the “Shares”), and the Company’s Class A common units of Biote held by such Members, as applicable, for six months following the closing of the business combination on May 26, 2022 (the “Closing”), and the Member Earnout Units (as defined therein) until the date such securities have been earned in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement (as defined therein) (the “Member Lock-Ups”); and (ii) the Sponsor agreed not to, subject to certain exceptions, transfer, sell, assign or otherwise dispose of its (a) shares of Class A common stock (other than the Sponsor Earnout Shares, as defined therein) for six months following the Closing; and (b) Sponsor Earnout Shares (as defined therein) until the date such securities have been earned in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement (together with the Member Lock-Ups, the “Lock-Ups”). Under the A&R IRA, the Company may waive the Lock-Ups in its sole discretion. The Company waived Lock-Ups with respect to 3,277,720 Shares in an effort to comply with initial Nasdaq listing standard requirements with respect to its public float, and may determine to waive Lock-Ups with respect to additional Shares if the Company decides it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. For instance, the Company’s small public float could limit its ability to raise additional capital through sales of its Class A common stock and limit its ability to use its equity for strategic purposes. For these reasons or other unforeseen developments, the Company could determine that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to release additional Shares from their Lock-Ups.

The foregoing description of the A&R IRA is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the A&R IRA, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
