(a)
Organization and Qualification. The Company and each of its subsidiaries is an entity duly incorporated or otherwise organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization (if a good standing concept
exists in such jurisdiction), with the requisite power and authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business
as currently conducted. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation nor default of any of the provisions of its respective
certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents. Each of the Company and its subsidiaries
is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which
the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary (if a good standing concept exists in
such jurisdiction), except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not have or reasonably
be expected to result in: (i) a material adverse effect on the legality, validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document, (ii)
a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company
and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to perform in any material
respect on a timely basis its obligations under any Transaction Document (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material Adverse Effect”;
provided, however, that changes in the trading price or trading volume of the Common Stock shall not, in and of itself, constitute a
Material Adverse Effect) and no Proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking to
revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority or qualification.
6
(b)
Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder.
The execution and delivery of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company
and no further action is required by the Company, the Board of Directors or the Company’s stockholders in connection herewith or
therewith. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly
executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation
of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’
rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable
remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.
(c)
No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to
which it is a party, the issuance and sale of the Securities and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby
do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s certificate or articles
of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents, or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that
with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or
assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, anti-dilution or similar adjustments,
acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument
(evidencing a Company or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by
which any property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected, or (iii) conflict with or result in a violation of
any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the
Company or a Subsidiary is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of
the Company or a Subsidiary is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as would not, individually
or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
7
(d)
Filings, Consents and Approvals. The Company has filed all quarterly and annual reports required to be filed by it with the SEC
pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits included
therein and financial statements and schedules thereto and documents (other than exhibits to such documents) incorporated by reference
therein, being hereinafter referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”). The Company has delivered to Purchaser true and
complete copies of the SEC Reports, except for such exhibits and incorporated documents, and except as such Documents are available EDGAR
filings on the SEC’s sec.gov website. As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the
requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Reports, and none
of the SEC Reports, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading. None of the statements made in any such SEC Reports is, or has been, required to be amended or
updated under applicable law (except for such statements as have been amended or updated in subsequent filings prior the date hereof).
As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports complied as to form in all material
respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. Such financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, during
the periods involved and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated
subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject,
in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments). Except as set forth in the financial statements of the Company
included in the SEC Reports, the Company has no liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than (i) liabilities incurred in the ordinary
course of business subsequent to March 31, 2024, and (ii) obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course
of business and not required under generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected in such financial statements, which, individually
or in the aggregate, are not material to the financial condition or operating results of the Company. The Company is subject to the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act. For the avoidance of doubt, filing of the documents required in this Section 3.1(d) via the SEC’s
Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system (“EDGAR”) shall satisfy all delivery requirements of this Section
3.1(d).
(e)
Issuance of the Securities. The Shares are duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the applicable Transaction
Documents, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all liens imposed by the Company and immediately
after such issuance the Purchasers shall have title to the Securities. The Company has reserved from its duly authorized capital stock
the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement and the Common Warrants.
(f)
No Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2,
neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers
or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the Securities
to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of any applicable shareholder approval provisions of any Trading Market
on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.
(g)
SEC Reports. The Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by the Company
under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof (the foregoing materials, including
the exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”)
on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration
of any such extension.
8
(h)
Litigation. There is no Action or Proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the
Company or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and neither the Company nor any of its affiliates is subject to or bound
by any order, in either case that would prevent or otherwise materially interfere with the ability of the Company to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or to otherwise perform its obligations under this Agreement to which the Company is or will be a party.
(i)
Compliance. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries: (i) is in default under or in violation of, nor has the Company or
any of its subsidiaries received notice of a claim that it is in default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture, loan or
credit agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound (other
than those that have been waived), (ii) is in violation of any judgment, decree or order of any court, arbitrator or other governmental
authority) or (iii) is or has been in violation of any statute, rule, ordinance or regulation of any governmental authority, including
without limitation all foreign, federal, state and local laws relating to taxes, other than tax payments related to payroll that are
late, environmental protection, occupational health and safety, product quality and safety and employment and labor matters, except in
each case as could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(j)
D&O Insurance. The Company is insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and
in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the subsidiaries are engaged, for directors and
officers insurance coverage at least equal to the aggregate Subscription Amount. The Company does not have any reason to believe that
it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar
insurers as may be necessary to continue its business without a significant increase in cost.
(k)
Sarbanes-Oxley; Internal Accounting Controls. Except as may be disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Company is in compliance with
any and all applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that are effective as of the date hereof, and any and all applicable
rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder that are effective as of the date hereof and as of each Closing Date. Except
as disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Company and its subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide
reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii)
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability,
(iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded
accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to
any differences. The Company and its subsidiaries have established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules

reporting of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Risks
Related to this Offering

may issue additional equity or convertible debt securities in the future, which may result in additional dilution to investors.
To
raise additional capital in the future, we believe that we may offer and issue additional shares of our Common Stock or other securities
convertible into or exchangeable for our Common Stock in the future. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell shares or other
securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by investors in this
offering, and investors purchasing other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per
share at which we sell additional shares of our Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our Common Stock
in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering. We also have a significant number of stock options
and warrants outstanding. To the extent that outstanding stock options or warrants have been or may be exercised or other shares issued,
you may experience additional dilution.
Further,
as we grow our business, we may seek to rely more heavily on capital raising transactions to fund our operations, raise capital to retire
any debt we may hereafter incur, for other corporate purposes, or due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe
we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans.
There
is no public market for the Warrants to purchase shares of our Common Stock being offered in this offering.
There
is no established public trading market for the Warrants being offered in this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop. In
addition, we do not intend to apply to list the Warrants on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system,
including The Nasdaq Capital Market. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the Warrants will be limited.
We
have broad discretion in the use of our available cash and other sources of funding, including the net proceeds from this offering.
Our
management has broad discretion in the use of our available cash and other sources of funding, including the net proceeds we receive
in this offering. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could result in financial losses that could have a material
adverse effect on our business, cause the price of our Common Stock to decline and. Pending use in our operations, we may invest our
available cash, including the net proceeds we receive in this offering, in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.
22
The
Warrants purchased in this offering do not entitle the holder to any rights as common stockholders until the holder exercises the warrant
for shares of our Common Stock, except as set forth in the Warrants.
Until
you acquire shares of our Common Stock upon exercise of your Warrants purchased in this offering, such Warrants will not provide you
any rights as a common stockholder, except as set forth therein. Upon exercise of your Warrants purchased in this offering, you will
be entitled to exercise the rights of a common stockholder only as to matters for which the record date occurs on or after the exercise
date.
Our
stock price is volatile, and your investment may suffer a decline in value.
As
a result of fluctuations in the price of our Common Stock, you may be unable to sell your shares at or above the price you paid for them.
The market price of our Common Stock is likely to continue to be volatile and subject to significant price and volume fluctuations in
response to market, industry and other factors. The market price of our Common Stock may also be dependent upon the valuations and recommendations
of the analysts who cover our business. If the results of our business do not meet these analysts’ forecasts, the expectations
of investors or the financial guidance we provide to investors in any period, the market price of our Common Stock could decline.
In
addition, the stock markets in general, and the markets for technology stocks in particular, have experienced significant volatility
that has often been unrelated to the financial condition or results of operations of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations
may adversely affect the trading price of our Common Stock and, consequently, adversely affect the price at which you could sell the
shares of Common Stock that you purchase in this offering. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market or significant
price declines, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against companies. Such litigation, if instituted against
us, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could materially and adversely
affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
Future
sales of our Common Stock in the public market or other financings could cause our stock price to fall, and a substantial number of shares
of Common Stock may be sold in the market following this offering, which may depress the market price for our Common Stock.
Sales
of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market, the perception that these sales might occur, or other financings
could depress the market price of our Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity
securities. In addition, shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants and options, as well as shares reserved
for future issuance under our incentive stock plan, will be eligible for sale in the public market to the extent permitted by applicable
vesting requirements, if any, and, in some cases, subject to compliance with the requirements of Rule 144. As a result, these shares
will be eligible to be freely sold in the public market upon issuance, subject to restrictions under the securities laws.
23
Because
we do not currently intend to declare cash dividends on our shares of Common Stock in the foreseeable future, stockholders must rely
on appreciation of the value of our Common Stock for any return on their investment.
We
do not currently anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. In addition, the terms of any existing
or future debt agreements may preclude us from paying dividends. As a result, we expect that only appreciation of the price of our Common
Stock, if any, will provide a return to existing stockholders for the foreseeable future.
Resales
of our Common Stock in the public market during this offering by our stockholders may cause the market price of our Common Stock to fall.
We
may issue Common Stock from time to time. This issuance from time to time of these new shares of our Common Stock, or our ability to
issue these shares of Common Stock in this offering, could result in resales of our Common Stock by our current stockholders concerned
about the potential dilution of their holdings. In turn, these resales could have the effect of depressing the market price for our Common
Stock.
The
market price of our Common Stock may be adversely affected by market conditions affecting the stock markets in general, including price
and trading fluctuations on Nasdaq.
Market
conditions may result in volatility in the level of, and fluctuations in, market prices of stocks generally and, in turn, our Common
Stock and sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the market, in each case being unrelated or disproportionate to changes
in our operating performance. A weak global economy or other circumstances, such as changes in tariffs and trade, could also contribute
to extreme volatility of the markets, which may have an effect on the market price of our Common Stock.

FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Brand
Engagement Network (NASDAQ: BNAI) Invests $1 Million in Accelevate Solutions and Secures Additional Investor Capital Commitment to Support
Expansion
WILMINGTON,
Del., June 5, 2026 — Brand Engagement Network, Inc. (NASDAQ: BNAI) (“BEN” or the “Company”), a leader
in secure, enterprise-grade conversational AI, announced the completion of its $1 million strategic investment in HighTide Energy, Inc.
d/b/a Accelevate Solutions (“Accelevate”), resulting in an approximately 10% ownership stake.
The
investment reflects BEN’s conviction in Accelevate’s strong growth momentum and the opportunity to expand growth capital
in support of continued scale, alongside the companies’ shared vision to advance AI-powered fleet intelligence solutions across
North America, Latin America, and Africa.
In
connection with the financing, BEN received a warrant to increase its ownership interest in Accelevate and intends to exercise it over
the next six months, with ownership expected to increase to approximately 20% upon completion.
To
support this, BEN has secured a $1 million equity capital commitment from BEN investors through a Securities Purchase Agreement to purchase
BEN common stock at $17.82 per share, representing a premium of over 20% to the closing market price on May 29, 2026. The commitment
will be funded in six monthly installments through November 2026, with BEN exercising a corresponding portion of the Accelevate warrant
as each tranche is received.
Through
this collaboration, BEN and Accelevate will combine complementary capabilities in conversational AI and fleet intelligence to accelerate
the deployment and commercialization of next-generation operational solutions across North America, Latin America, and Africa. Accelevate’s
platform serves commercial fleet operators across these markets, expanding BEN’s exposure to a large and growing transportation
technology sector.
“We
have completed our initial investment, secured the capital to support an increase in our ownership interest, and aligned our organizations
around a commercialization strategy that we believe can accelerate the deployment of AI-powered fleet intelligence across multiple global
markets,” said Tyler Luck, Chief Executive Officer of BEN.
“What
excites us most is that this partnership demonstrates how AI should be deployed - not as a standalone technology, but as a driver of
real-world operational efficiency and engagement. By combining forces with Accelevate, we are building more connected, intelligent, and
responsive operations. Across fleet networks, this means bringing intelligence and engagement closer to drivers and consumers in vehicles,
enabling more seamless interaction between people, assets, and data in motion. That’s the future we believe in: AI that delivers
measurable outcomes and creates value in everyday business operations.”
