1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

September 7, 2026, SurgePays, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase

Agreement”) with GPO Plus, Inc. (“GPO Plus”), and ClearLine Apps, LLC, a newly formed subsidiary of GPO

Plus (the “Acquisition Subsidiary”), pursuant to which the Acquisition Subsidiary would acquire (the “Acquisition”)

from the Company (i) the Company’s ClearLine engagement platform, media network and related technology, functionality and operating

assets, and (ii) the Company’s GPOX Wireless business and assets (collectively the “Purchased Assets”) in consideration

of a $27,500,000 purchase price to be paid only in the form of 25,000,000 shares (the “Preferred Shares”) of GPO Plus

Series D Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”). Each share of Series D Preferred Stock is convertible at

the election of the holder into one share of GPO Plus common stock, has no preferential dividend, liquidation or other rights, and has

no voting rights.

connection with entering into the Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a Put Option Agreement (the “Put Agreement”)

with Emerald Shoals Targeted Opportunities Fund LP (“Emerald Shoals”), pursuant to which the Company would have the

right (the “Put Right”) to sell the Preferred Shares or shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred

Shares to Emerald Shoals for $27,500,000 during an exercise period beginning at closing of the Acquisition and continuing for three years

and 90 days from closing. The Put Right is intended to serve as a backstop to ensure that the Company receives $27,500,000 in value from

the sale of the Assets in the Acquisition.

The

Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by each of the parties and customary closing conditions.

The Purchase Agreement also requires GPO Plus to issue Emerald Shoals, as additional consideration for Emerald Shoals entering into the

Put Agreement, a five-year warrant to purchase 15,000,000 shares of GPO Plus common stock, divided into three tranches of 5,000,000 shares

exercisable at $0.05, $0.15 and $0.25 per share, respectively.

The

foregoing descriptions of the Asset Purchase Agreement and Put Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety

by reference to the full text of the agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report

on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

Item

2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

The

disclosure provided above in Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.

September 10, 2026, the Company, GPO Plus and the Acquisition Subsidiary closed the Acquisition, the Company assigned the assets to the

Acquisition Subsidiary, and GPO Plus issued the Preferred Shares to the Company.

Item

8.01. Other Events.

The

disclosure provided above in Items 1.01 and 2.01 is incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.

previously reported, the Company received notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC that it no longer satisfied the market value of listed

securities requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2), and separately that the bid price of its common stock had fallen

below the minimum required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

a result of closing the Acquisition, the Company’s stockholders’ equity as of the date hereof exceeds both the $2,500,000

in stockholders’ equity required under Nasdaq’s continued listing standards, and the $5,000,000 in stockholders’ equity

required under Nasdaq’s initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company intends to notify Nasdaq staff

accordingly, and also intends to notify Nasdaq of its intent to cure the bid price deficiency during a second compliance period, including

by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary.

Forward-Looking

Statements

This

Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 hereto, contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section

27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, and such forward-looking statements are made pursuant

to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. §78u-5). Forward-looking statements

are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on the Company’s current beliefs,

expectations, and assumptions regarding the future of its business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and

trends, the economy, and other future conditions, including with respect to the effects of the Acquisition and Put Right, as well as

actions to be taken with respect to the Company’s Nasdaq listing. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they

are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside

of the Company’s control. The Company’s actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated

in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, readers should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that

could cause the Company’s actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking

statements are discussed or identified in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risk

factors contained in its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. All forward-looking statements

attributable to the Company or persons acting on the Company’s behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary

statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this

Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these statements as a result of new information or future

events, except as required by law.

ASSET

PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of September 7, 2026, by and among GPO Plus, Inc., a Nevada corporation

(“GPOX” or “Purchaser”), ClearLine Apps, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company wholly owned by GPOX (“Acquisition

Subsidiary”), and SurgePays, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“SURG” or “Seller”).

The

parties intend a straightforward asset acquisition between friendly companies. Seller is selling only the Purchased Assets expressly

described in this Agreement and the Schedules. Seller is retaining its existing SurgePays-branded wireless and MVNO business and the

parties intend that the transaction not disrupt that retained business.

ARTICLE

PURCHASE

AND SALE

1.1

Purchased Assets. At Closing, Seller shall sell, assign, transfer and deliver to Acquisition Subsidiary, and Acquisition Subsidiary

shall purchase, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in ClearLine, including its engagement platform, ClearLine Media Network

and related technology, functionality and operating assets (collectively, “ClearLine”), and the separately identifiable GPOX

Wireless business and assets, as specifically identified on Schedules A through C (collectively, the “Purchased Assets”),

free and clear of Encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances. The Schedules control if a general description in this Agreement conflicts

with a specifically listed included or excluded asset. Legal title, economic ownership, benefits and burdens, risks and rewards, decision-making

authority and ultimate operational control of the Purchased Assets shall transfer to Acquisition Subsidiary at Closing, as provided in

Section 4.3.

1.2

Core Included Assets. Without limiting the Schedules, the Purchased Assets include ClearLine’s software, source code, repositories,

cloud architecture, build and deployment materials, technical infrastructure, documentation, APIs, SDKs, integrations, engagement and

customer-profile technology, consent controls, marketing, campaign, automation, loyalty, rewards, membership, review and reputation-management

functionality, analytics, dashboards, customer touchpoints, hardware integrations and ClearLine Media Network; the separately identifiable

turnkey GPOX Wireless business and assets specifically identified on Schedule B, capable of supporting multiple branded sub-MVNOs; U.S.

Patent No. 12,632,881 B2 and related owned patent-family and filing rights; copyrights, trade secrets, know-how, methodologies, machine-learning

models, training data, operating playbooks and goodwill; assigned contracts; transferable governmental authorizations; applicable customer,

merchant and dealer relationships and lawfully transferable records; accounts receivable relating to the Purchased Assets; inventory

and tangible equipment used primarily in the Purchased Assets; and, at Seller’s election, either the ClearLine operating bank account

with its entire Closing balance or a transfer of that entire Closing balance in immediately available funds to an account designated

by Acquisition Subsidiary. The entire Closing balance, which shall be not less than $150,000 under either delivery method, is included

in the Purchased Assets and is not additional purchase consideration or a price adjustment. Seller shall provide a Closing bank statement

or equivalent bank confirmation evidencing the full balance and evidence of delivery of account control or transfer of the full balance,

as applicable. Seller shall also deliver at Closing ClearLine’s complete QuickBooks company file or a complete restorable backup,

including its transaction history, chart of accounts, general ledger and bank reconciliations through Closing, in a form reasonably usable

by Purchaser. If ClearLine’s books are maintained in QuickBooks Online, Seller shall instead deliver a complete usable export of

those records or transfer the ClearLine company with administrative access to Purchaser. Only assets owned by Seller or rights Seller

is entitled to transfer are included, subject to the express terms of this Agreement and the Schedules.

1.3

Retained SURG Business and Excluded Assets. Seller retains all assets not expressly included in the Purchased Assets. Without limitation,

Seller retains its existing SurgePays-branded MVNO and wireless business, subscriber base, customers, carrier rights and agreements,

wholesale prepaid distribution business, corporate assets, cash and bank accounts other than the ClearLine operating account or its entire

Closing balance delivered under Section 1.2, employee benefit plans, tax refunds relating to pre-Closing periods, the SurgePays name

and marks, and the other assets listed on Schedule D (collectively, the “Excluded Assets”). Nothing in this Agreement shall

prohibit, impair or materially interfere with Seller’s continued operation of its retained MVNO, wireless, wholesale prepaid or

other retained businesses.

1.4

Assumed and Excluded Liabilities. Acquisition Subsidiary assumes only (a) obligations first arising after Closing under contracts

validly assigned to it, excluding liabilities caused by any pre-Closing breach, and (b) liabilities first arising from Acquisition Subsidiary’s

ownership or operation of the Purchased Assets after Closing (the “Assumed Liabilities”). Seller retains all other liabilities,

including liabilities arising from Seller’s ownership or operation of the Purchased Assets before Closing, Seller’s indebtedness,

pre-Closing taxes, employee obligations relating to pre-Closing periods, and pre-Closing breaches of assigned contracts (the “Excluded

Liabilities”).

1.5

ClearLine Purchase Price. The purchase price for ClearLine is Twenty-Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($27,500,000) (the

“ClearLine Purchase Price” or “Purchase Price”). GPOX shall satisfy the ClearLine Purchase Price solely by issuing

to Seller at Closing 25,000,000 shares of newly designated Series D Convertible Preferred Stock of GPOX (the “Series D Preferred”).

GPOX shall pay no cash portion of the ClearLine Purchase Price at Closing. Acquisition Subsidiary shall also assume the Assumed Liabilities.

GPOX Wireless is also included among the Purchased Assets transferred at Closing. Nothing in this Agreement shall reduce, reallocate

or apportion any portion of the $27,500,000 ClearLine Purchase Price to GPOX Wireless, nor shall this Agreement determine or limit the

separate fair value, accounting value or economic value attributable to GPOX Wireless.

1.6

Series D Preferred. The Series D Preferred shall be non-voting, shall accrue no dividend, coupon, payment-in-kind return or cash

yield, and shall be convertible on a one-for-one basis into an aggregate of 25,000,000 shares of GPOX Common Stock (as defined below),

subject only to proportionate adjustments for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and similar recapitalizations.

The Series D Preferred shall have the terms set forth in the Certificate of Designation attached as Exhibit A. The Series D Preferred

shall have no variable conversion price, price reset, ratchet, top-up, mandatory cash settlement or redemption obligation of GPOX.

1.7

[Intentionally deleted.]

1.8

Conversion and Put Elections. From and after issuance of the Series D Preferred Stock at Closing, Seller in its sole discretion may

elect to convert all or a portion of the then-outstanding Series D Preferred held by Seller at the fixed one-for-one conversion ratio

as set forth in the Certificate of Designation, subject only to proportionate recapitalization adjustments and applicable law as set

forth in the Certificate of Designation. No prior consent of Emerald Shoals Targeted Opportunities Fund LP or separate discretionary

consent of GPOX shall be required for a valid voluntary conversion. GPOX shall give effect to a valid conversion election in accordance

with the Certificate of Designation. Alternatively, during the Put Exercise Period (as defined below), Seller may exercise the Put Option

for all, but not less than all, the Underlying Shares (as defined in the Put Option Agreement) or any shares of GPOX Common Stock issued

upon conversion of the Underlying Shares and transfer them to Emerald Shoals Targeted Opportunities Fund LP for the $27,500,000 Strike

Price, it being expressly understood that, if Seller converts any Series D Preferred before exercising the Put Option, the Put Option

shall attach to and continue in effect with respect to the shares of GPOX Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series D Preferred as

provided in the Put Option Agreement. No partial Put exercise shall be permitted.

1.9

Transfer. The Series D Preferred and Seller’s rights under the Put Option Agreement shall be freely transferable by Seller,

in whole or in part, without the consent of GPOX or any other person or entity, subject only to compliance with applicable securities

laws. The Series D Preferred shall not be subject to any right of first refusal, right of first offer, standstill, beneficial ownership

limitation, issuance cap or other restriction on transfer, pledge, hypothecation or conversion, other than restrictions required by applicable

securities law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Put Option Agreement shall provide that Emerald Shoals Targeted Opportunities Fund

LP may not sell, assign, delegate or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations thereunder without the prior written consent of both

GPOX and Seller. The Certificate of Designation and applicable transfer-agent instructions shall reflect the provisions in this Section.

1.10

Put Option; GPOX Not Obligated. At Closing, Emerald Shoals Targeted Opportunities Fund LP shall enter into the Put Option Agreement

with Seller. The Put Option is a separate obligation of Emerald Shoals Targeted Opportunities Fund LP alone. Neither GPOX nor Acquisition

Subsidiary shall guarantee, fund, reimburse, indemnify Emerald Shoals Targeted Opportunities Fund LP for, redeem securities to satisfy,

assume or otherwise be jointly or separately liable for the $27,500,000 Strike Price or any other Emerald payment obligation, including

interest and collection costs. No provision of this Agreement or any acknowledgment creates indebtedness, deferred or contingent purchase-price

liability or any other Put payment obligation of GPOX or Acquisition Subsidiary. The Put Option Agreement shall provide that Emerald

Shoals Targeted Opportunities Fund LP may not assign, delegate, transfer or otherwise dispose of any obligation to pay the Strike Price

or otherwise perform that agreement without the prior written consent of both Seller and GPOX. Any purported assignment, delegation or

transfer in violation of that restriction without the written consent of both Seller and GPOX shall be void and ineffective. Such consent

shall not itself impose any payment obligation on GPOX or Acquisition Subsidiary.

1.11

Warrant. As consideration to Emerald Shoals Targeted Opportunities Fund LP for entering into and standing ready to perform the Put

Option Agreement, GPOX shall issue to Emerald Shoals Targeted Opportunities Fund LP at Closing a five-year Common Stock purchase warrant

for 15,000,000 shares, divided into three tranches of 5,000,000 shares exercisable at $0.05, $0.15 and $0.25 per share, respectively

(the “Warrant”). The Warrant term begins on issuance at Closing. The final Warrant instrument shall reflect these economics

and be executed and delivered at Closing.

1.12

Share Reserve. GPOX shall maintain sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock to permit conversion of the outstanding

Series D Preferred and exercise of the Warrant, including 25,000,000 shares for Series D conversion and 15,000,000 shares for Warrant

exercise at Closing. The reserve shall support valid conversions from Closing under Section 1.8 and shall be maintained for outstanding

conversion and exercise rights in accordance with the respective instruments.

1.13

Closing. Closing shall occur electronically on the second Business Day after all conditions in Article V are satisfied or waived,

or on another date agreed in writing. The parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to close promptly.

1.14

Certain Definitions. “Closing Date” means the date on which Closing occurs under Section 1.13. “Business Day”

means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or day on which commercial banks in Las Vegas, Nevada are authorized or required to close.

“Put Exercise Period” means the Exercise Period under the Put Option Agreement, which shall be period beginning on the Closing

Date and ending on the 90th consecutive day following the third anniversary of the Closing Date. “Transaction Documents”

means this Agreement, the Put Option Agreement, the Series D Certificate of Designation, the Warrant, and the assignments, acknowledgments

and other instruments executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. “Encumbrances”

means liens, pledges, security interests, charges, claims of ownership, encumbrances and restrictions on transfer or use. “Permitted

Encumbrances” means only Encumbrances specifically identified in writing and expressly accepted in writing by GPOX. “Losses”

means documented losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees

and reasonable costs of investigation, defense and enforcement, subject to Article VII. “Seller’s Knowledge” means

the actual knowledge of Seller’s officers responsible for the Purchased Assets after reasonable inquiry of personnel responsible

for managing the Purchased Assets.

PURCHASER

REPRESENTATIONS

GPOX

represents and warrants to Seller as of the Closing Date as follows:

3.1

Organization; Authority. GPOX is a Nevada corporation and Acquisition Subsidiary is a Nevada limited liability company, each duly

organized, validly existing and in good standing. Each has authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and the Transaction Documents

to which it is a party.

3.2

Capitalization and Valid Issuance. At Closing, GPOX shall have sufficient corporate authority and authorized shares to issue the

Series D Preferred and maintain the required Common Stock reserve. When issued in accordance with this Agreement and the Certificate

of Designation, the Series D Preferred will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. As of September 3, 2026,

GPOX has 250,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), of which 117,664,989

shares are outstanding, consisting of 66,304,340 restricted shares and 51,360,649 unrestricted shares. The Series D Preferred shall be

free of any beneficial ownership limitation, issuance cap or other restriction on conversion, other than restrictions on transfer generally

imposed by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in the absence of registration.

3.3

SEC Reports. GPOX has filed the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 during the twenty-four

months preceding this Agreement, subject to any disclosures contained in those reports. GPOX’s Common Stock is quoted on the OTCQB

marketplace as of the date of this Agreement.

3.4

ARTICLE

COVENANTS

4.1

Pre-Closing Cooperation. Before Closing, Seller shall operate the Purchased Assets in the ordinary course in all material respects

and the parties shall cooperate in good faith to obtain material consents and complete the transfer.

4.2

Carrier and Upstream Provider Cooperation. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser concerning any carrier or upstream consent,

transition, assignment, novation or new agreement actually required for the transferred GPOX Wireless assets. Purchaser shall timely

provide reasonably requested financial, organizational, credit and compliance information and satisfy its own post-Closing prefunding,

deposit and credit requirements. No transfer prohibited by applicable law or contract is effected until legally permitted; the parties

shall reasonably cooperate on any lawful interim arrangement needed for the specifically affected right, without impairing Seller’s

retained business or delaying transfer and control of the other Purchased Assets. Carrier-specific details may be identified on Schedule

E; an outstanding carrier consent is not a separate Closing condition unless the parties expressly agree otherwise in writing.

4.3

Transition Assistance. Effective at Closing, legal title, economic ownership, benefits and burdens, risks and rewards, decision-making

authority and ultimate operational control of the Purchased Assets shall transfer to Acquisition Subsidiary. For 180 days following Closing

(the “Transition Period”), Seller shall provide commercially reasonable transition, management, technical and migration assistance

to support continuity and orderly migration of the Purchased Assets. Any such assistance shall be performed on behalf of and subject

to the ultimate direction and control of Acquisition Subsidiary and shall not delay, condition or qualify the transfer of ownership and

control occurring at Closing. Seller shall provide reasonable access to knowledgeable personnel, technology migration assistance, customer

and vendor introductions and continuity of existing hosting and operating arrangements where reasonably practicable. Seller does not

guarantee post-Closing revenue, customer retention, profitability, technical performance or business results. Acquisition Subsidiary

shall reimburse Seller for reasonable, documented third-party hosting, delivery and similar pass-through costs approved or reasonably

necessary for the transition. Seller personnel remain Seller personnel unless separately hired under a written arrangement.

4.4

No Required Employee Transfer. Neither Purchaser nor Acquisition Subsidiary is required by this Agreement to offer employment or

engagement to any Seller employee or contractor. Any hiring shall be separately agreed between the applicable individual and Purchaser

or Acquisition Subsidiary.

4.5

Further Assurances. After Closing, each party shall reasonably cooperate and execute additional documents reasonably necessary to

complete the transfers expressly contemplated by this Agreement, without materially expanding that party’s economic obligations.

4.6

Public Company, Audit and Valuation Cooperation. Seller and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate regarding

legally required public announcements, SEC reporting, public-company disclosures, PCAOB audit support, independent valuation and transaction

accounting. Such cooperation includes reasonable access, on reasonable notice and subject to appropriate confidentiality protections,

to financial statements, historical revenue information, records supporting the acquired assets, contracts, invoices, intellectual-property

documentation, source documentation and confirmations reasonably needed by the parties’ auditors and valuation specialists. Requests

shall relate to the transaction and shall not impose an unlimited production obligation or unreasonably disrupt a party’s operations.

Each party remains solely responsible, in consultation with its auditors and advisers, for its own accounting conclusions, financial

statement presentation and securities-law disclosures. This cooperation includes supporting a strong independent valuation of the transferred

ClearLine and GPOX Wireless assets and a reasoned comparison with the measurement of the consideration package. Each party’s accountants,

auditors and/or valuation specialists shall independently determine fair value in accordance with applicable accounting standards. The

parties acknowledge that the $27,500,000 ClearLine Purchase Price reflects their arm’s-length agreement as to the value exchanged

in this transaction and is intended to inform, though not conclusively determine, the fair value analysis performed by each party’s

accountants, auditors and/or valuation specialists. Each party represents that it has disclosed to the other parties all written or oral

agreements, understandings, commitments and compensation arrangements affecting the transaction economics, the Series D, Put or Warrant,

and shall promptly disclose any later agreement or arrangement to the other parties and, on a confidential basis, their auditors and

valuation specialists.

4.7

Confidentiality. Each party shall protect the other party’s nonpublic confidential information and may disclose it to representatives,

auditors, regulators or as required by law. Following Closing, confidential information included in the Purchased Assets belongs to Acquisition

Subsidiary, subject to Seller’s limited use as reasonably necessary to perform transition obligations or comply with law.

and trademark assignment, applicable contract assignments and consents, the technical access and documentation required by Section 5.1(d),

and the bank-account or full-balance delivery, bank evidence and QuickBooks records required by Section 1.2. Purchaser shall deliver

ARTICLE

TERMINATION

6.1

Termination Before Closing. Before Closing, this Agreement may be terminated by mutual written consent; by a non-breaching party

if the other party materially breaches and fails to cure within 20 days after written notice if curable; or by either party if Closing

has not occurred within 45 days after this Agreement, unless the terminating party’s material breach caused the failure to close.

6.2

Effect. Upon valid termination before Closing, this Agreement is void except for confidentiality, expenses, governing law and provisions

that by their nature survive. Termination does not eliminate liability for fraud or a willful material breach occurring before termination.

ARTICLE

VII

INDEMNIFICATION

7.1

Seller Indemnity. After Closing, Seller shall indemnify Purchaser and Acquisition Subsidiary for Losses arising from: (a) a breach

of Seller’s representations; (b) a breach of Seller’s covenants; (c) an Excluded Liability; or (d) Seller’s ownership

or operation of the Purchased Assets before Closing.

7.2

Purchaser Indemnity. After Closing, Purchaser and Acquisition Subsidiary shall jointly and severally indemnify Seller for Losses

arising from: (a) a breach of Purchaser’s representations; (b) a breach of Purchaser’s covenants; (c) an Assumed Liability;

or (d) Purchaser’s or Acquisition Subsidiary’s ownership or operation of the Purchased Assets after Closing.

7.3

Survival. Ordinary representations survive for 18 months after Closing. Representations regarding organization, authority, title

to Purchased Assets, Purchaser capitalization and valid issuance of the Series D Preferred survive until the applicable statute of limitations

expires. Seller’s core intellectual-property ownership representation survives for 36 months. Covenants survive for the period

stated in the applicable covenant or, if none is stated, until performed.

7.4

Basket and Caps. No party shall owe indemnification for an ordinary representation breach until aggregate covered Losses exceed $100,000,

after which only Losses above $100,000 are recoverable. Ordinary representation claims against either side are capped at $4,125,000.

Claims against Seller based on breach of Seller’s core intellectual-property ownership representation are capped at $8,250,000.

Claims based on fraud, intentional misrepresentation, authority, Seller’s title to the Purchased Assets, or Purchaser’s valid

authorization and issuance of the Series D Preferred are not subject to the basket and, except for fraud or intentional misrepresentation

to the extent applicable law provides otherwise, are capped at the $27,500,000 Purchase Price.

7.5

Claims; Third-Party Claims. An indemnified party shall give reasonably prompt written notice describing a claim. Delay reduces recovery

only to the extent the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced. For a third-party claim, the indemnifying party may control the defense

with reasonably acceptable counsel if it acknowledges the indemnity obligation and keeps the indemnified party reasonably informed. No

settlement may impose non-monetary obligations, an admission of wrongdoing, or unreleased liability on the indemnified party without

its written consent.

7.6

Mitigation; No Double Recovery. Each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate Losses. Losses are reduced by insurance

or third-party recoveries actually received for the same matter, and no Loss may be recovered more than once.

7.7

Exclusive Monetary Remedy. Except for fraud, intentional misrepresentation, specific performance, injunctive relief, and enforcement

of the Series D, Put Option or other express securities rights, this Article provides the parties’ exclusive monetary remedy after

Closing for matters arising under this Agreement.

and

Acknowledged

Dated

as of September 7, 2026

[Execution

Version]

PUT

OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of September 7, 2026, by and between SurgePays, Inc., a Nevada corporation

(“Holder”), and Emerald Shoals Targeted Opportunities Fund LP, an Ohio limited partnership (“Fund”), and is acknowledged

by GPO Plus, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“GPOX”), solely as expressly provided herein.

This

Agreement is delivered in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of September 7, 2026 among Holder, GPOX and ClearLine

Apps, LLC (the “Purchase Agreement”). Under the Purchase Agreement, Holder is receiving 25,000,000 shares of GPOX Series

D Convertible Preferred Stock solely in satisfaction of the $27,500,000 ClearLine Purchase Price. Fund and/or its affiliates are, as

of the date of this Agreement, the largest holder(s) of the common stock of GPOX and, on that basis, are willing to grant Holder the

Put Option set forth herein on the terms of this Agreement. The parties intend the Put Option to be a separate obligation of the Fund

and not an obligation, guarantee or indebtedness of GPOX.

The

Put Option is granted as a freestanding financial instrument separate from the terms of the Series D Preferred, shall be carried by Holder

as a financial asset at fair value, and shall be carried by Fund as a liability at fair value, in each case in accordance with applicable

generally accepted accounting principles.

ARTICLE

DEFINITIONS

1.1

Defined Terms. “Closing Date” means the closing date under the Purchase Agreement. “Exercise Date” means

the third anniversary of the Closing Date. “Exercise Period” means the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending at

11:59 p.m. Las Vegas time on the 90th consecutive day following the Exercise Date. “Series D Preferred” means the 25,000,000

shares of GPOX Series D Convertible Preferred Stock issued to Holder at Closing. “Strike Price” means $27,500,000 in the

aggregate, which shall not be increased or decreased by the recapitalization adjustments described in Section 2.3. “Underlying

Shares” means the unconverted Series D Preferred then subject to this Agreement, or proportionately adjusted securities received

in a permitted recapitalization under Section 2.3, and includes Common Stock (as defined below) issued upon voluntary conversion any

Series D Preferred. “Settlement Date” means the tenth Business Day after a valid Exercise Notice, or an earlier date agreed

in writing. “Put Exercise Period,” as used in Section 1.8 of the Purchase Agreement, means the Exercise Period defined in

this Agreement. “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or day on which commercial banks in Las Vegas,

Nevada are authorized or required to close.

1.2

Purchase Agreement Terms. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings given in the Purchase Agreement. The definition of

“Seller’s Knowledge” in Section 1.14 of the Purchase Agreement applies where that term is used.

ARTICLE

THE

PUT OPTION

2.1

Grant. Fund irrevocably grants Holder the right, exercisable only during the Exercise Period and subject to this Agreement, to require

Fund to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Underlying Shares for the Strike Price (the “Put Option”).

2.2

Conversion. Holder may convert the Series D Preferred or transfer the Underlying Shares at any time, subject to Article IV. If Holder

converts any Underlying Shares into shares of Common Stock at any time prior to the Settlement Date, this Put Option shall attach to,

and continue in effect with respect to, the shares of Common Stock at the same aggregate Strike Price proportionally, such shares shall

thereafter constitute Underlying Shares for all purposes of this Agreement, and Holder shall give Fund written notice of the conversion

within five Business Days.

2.3

Fixed Strike Price; Adjustments. The aggregate Strike Price is fixed at $27,500,000. A stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend,

combination, recapitalization, reclassification or similar event shall result only in proportionate adjustments necessary to preserve

the same aggregate economic position and shall not increase or decrease the aggregate Strike Price.

[Execution

Version]

2.4

Unconditional Fund Obligation. Upon a valid exercise, Fund’s obligation to purchase the Underlying Shares and pay the Strike

Price is absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, subject only to Holder’s delivery of the Underlying Shares free and clear of

liens and the material accuracy of Holder’s authority and title representations at Settlement. Fund’s payment obligation

is not affected by GPOX’s operating performance, financial condition, market price, the performance of the acquired business or

a defense, setoff or counterclaim Fund may have against GPOX.

2.5

No GPOX Payment Obligation. GPOX is not the obligor under the Put Option. Nothing in this Agreement creates indebtedness, a guarantee,

reimbursement, funding commitment, indemnity for Fund’s payment, redemption obligation, assumption, joint liability or deferred

or contingent purchase-price obligation of GPOX or any GPOX subsidiary with respect to the Strike Price or any other payment obligation

of Fund, including interest and collection costs. Fund alone is responsible for those payments. GPOX’s administrative cooperation,

consent rights and pre-consent to settlement transfer do not create any such payment obligation.

ARTICLE

III

EXERCISE

AND SETTLEMENT

3.1

Exercise Notice. Holder exercises by delivering an irrevocable written Exercise Notice to Fund during the Exercise Period stating

that Holder elects to sell all Underlying Shares, the $27,500,000 Strike Price and Holder’s wire instructions. An Exercise Notice

validly delivered during the Exercise Period remains effective through settlement and enforcement even if the Settlement Date or payment

occurs after expiration of that period.

3.2

Settlement. On the Settlement Date, Fund shall pay the Strike Price in immediately available U.S. funds against Holder’s simultaneous

delivery of the Underlying Shares free and clear of liens and other encumbrances, subject only to applicable securities laws. GPOX irrevocably

pre-consents to this settlement transfer under Section 7.1 and Section 1.9 of the Purchase Agreement; no additional GPOX consent is required.

Settlement remains subject to applicable securities laws and the express conditions of this Agreement. Title passes upon payment.

3.3

Failure to Pay. If Fund fails to pay the Strike Price when due, the unpaid amount shall bear interest at 12% per annum from the Settlement

Date until paid. Such interest and rate shall constitute a late-payment penalty only, and such interest and rate are not intended to

serve as an indicator of the market rate for the Put Option obligation. Holder retains the Underlying Shares until paid in full and may

recover the unpaid amount, accrued interest and reasonable documented collection costs, including attorneys’ fees, in addition

to specific performance and other available remedies.

3.4

Taxes and Transfer Costs. Each party bears its own income taxes arising from settlement. Fund bears transfer-agent and documentary

transfer costs directly arising from transfer of the Underlying Shares to Fund.

ARTICLE

TRANSFER

RESTRICTIONS

4.1

Free Transferability of Underlying Shares. Holder may sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose

of the Underlying Shares at any time, in whole or in part, without the consent of GPOX or Fund, subject only to compliance with applicable

securities laws and Section 4.2 below.

[Execution

Version]

4.2

No Separate Transfer of Put. If Holder sells or otherwise transfers the Underlying Shares, the Put Option shall be transferred with

such Underlying Shares, but the Put Option may not be transferred separately from all Underlying Shares to which it relates, whether

before or after the Exercise Date, unless Fund and Holder expressly agree otherwise in writing. Any transferee of Underlying Shares to

which the Put Option relates shall assume Holder’s obligations under this Agreement in writing as a condition to the Put Option

remaining in effect with respect to those shares. Holder shall give Fund written notice of any transfer, and Fund shall perform in favor

of the transferee on the terms of this Agreement.

4.3

Restriction on Fund Assignment. Fund may not assign, delegate, transfer or otherwise dispose of any obligation to pay the Strike

Price or otherwise perform this Agreement without the prior written consent of both Holder and GPOX. Any purported assignment, delegation

or transfer in violation of this Section is void and ineffective. Consent to an assignment or delegation does not itself impose any payment

obligation on GPOX or its subsidiaries.

ARTICLE

INFORMATION

AND WARRANT

5.1

Audit, Valuation and Reporting Cooperation. At Closing, Fund shall provide the confidential financial information and confirmations

reasonably requested by Holder for the purposes described in this Section. Thereafter through termination of this Agreement, Fund shall

provide Holder with annual financial statements and such additional confidential financial information and confirmations as Holder may

reasonably require in connection with its public-company reporting, PCAOB audit obligations, valuation of the Put Option and related

financial-statement disclosures. Fund shall also reasonably cooperate, subject to appropriate confidentiality protections, with requests

from GPOX’s auditors or independent valuation specialists to the extent reasonably necessary to evaluate the Put in connection

with accounting for the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. Holder and GPOX shall protect Fund’s nonpublic information

and may disclose it only to representatives, auditors and valuation specialists subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations, to

regulators or as required by law. Nothing in this Section requires Fund to maintain a minimum net worth or liquidity level or provide

escrow, collateral, guarantees or other credit support. Holder, Fund and GPOX each represent that they have disclosed to the other parties

all written or oral agreements, understandings, commitments and compensation arrangements affecting the transaction economics, the Series

D, Put or Warrant, and shall promptly disclose any later agreement or arrangement to the other parties and, on a confidential basis,

their auditors and valuation specialists.

5.2

Warrant. As consideration for Fund entering into and standing ready to perform this Agreement, GPOX shall issue to Fund at Closing

a five-year Common Stock purchase warrant for 15,000,000 shares, divided into three tranches of 5,000,000 shares exercisable at $0.05,

$0.15 and $0.25 per share, respectively, in accordance with Sections 1.11, 5.2(f) and 5.3 of the Purchase Agreement. The Warrant term

begins on issuance at Closing. The final Warrant instrument shall reflect these economics and be executed and delivered at Closing. The

Warrant is separate from Fund’s obligation to pay the Strike Price.

5.3

Accounting Responsibility. Consistent with Section 4.6 of the Purchase Agreement, each party remains solely responsible, in consultation

with its auditors and advisers, for its own accounting conclusions, financial statement presentation and securities-law disclosures.

ARTICLE

REPRESENTATIONS

6.1

Fund. Fund represents on the date of this Agreement, Closing and Settlement that it is duly organized and validly existing; has authority

to enter into and perform this Agreement; has duly authorized this Agreement; this Agreement is binding on Fund subject to customary

bankruptcy and equitable principles; required internal approvals have been obtained; and Fund is an accredited investor for purposes

of acquiring the Underlying Shares at Settlement.

[Execution Version]

6.2

Holder. Holder represents on the date of this Agreement, Closing and Settlement that it is duly organized and validly existing under

Nevada law; has authority to enter into and perform this Agreement; has duly authorized this Agreement; and at Settlement it will hold

and deliver the Underlying Shares free and clear of liens and other encumbrances other than restrictions arising under applicable securities

laws.

ARTICLE

VII

GPOX

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

7.1

GPOX Pre-Consent to Put Settlement Transfer; Limited Acknowledgment. Notwithstanding any general transfer restriction in the Purchase

Agreement, the Series D Preferred or this Agreement, GPOX hereby irrevocably consents to the transfer of the Underlying Shares from Holder

to Fund solely in connection with a valid exercise and settlement of the Put Option in accordance with this Agreement. No additional

GPOX consent shall be required for that settlement transfer. GPOX shall reasonably instruct its transfer agent to record the transfer

upon payment in full by Fund of the Strike Price and satisfaction of the express settlement conditions, subject to applicable securities

laws. This consent does not constitute a guarantee, reimbursement obligation, funding commitment, redemption obligation or assumption

by GPOX of any Fund payment obligation. GPOX shall maintain sufficient authorized and unissued Common Stock for conversion of outstanding

Series D Preferred and exercise of the Warrant, including 25,000,000 shares for Series D conversion and 15,000,000 shares for Warrant

exercise at Closing, as required by Section 1.12 of the Purchase Agreement. The reserve supports valid conversion from Closing under

Section 2.2. As of September 3, 2026, GPOX has 250,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common

Stock”), of which 117,664,989 shares are outstanding, consisting of 66,304,340 restricted shares and 51,360,649 unrestricted shares.

7.2

No Broader Third-Party Rights. Except for GPOX’s express obligations in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 and this Article and its separate

obligations under the Purchase Agreement and related securities instruments, this Agreement is solely between Holder and Fund.

ARTICLE

VIII

MISCELLANEOUS

8.1

Notices. Notices shall be in writing and delivered by nationally recognized overnight courier or email to the applicable notice address

designated in this Section or subsequently designated by written notice under this Section. A courier notice is effective upon actual

delivery shown by the courier’s delivery record. An email notice is effective at the time of successful transmission to the designated

email address, evidenced by a sent-message record and confirmation of successful transmission, provided the sender receives no automated

notice of non-delivery. No acknowledgment or consent of the recipient is required. All times are determined in Las Vegas, Nevada. An

Exercise Notice must become effective within the Exercise Period; there is no automatic extension to the next Business Day. Changes to

notice details become effective only upon delivery of the change notice and do not invalidate notices already validly delivered. Initial

notices to Holder shall be sent to SurgePays, Inc., 3124 Brother Blvd., Suite 104, Bartlett, Tennessee 38133, Attention: Chief Executive

Officer, [redacted]. Initial notices to GPOX shall be sent to 3571 E. Sunset Road, Suite 300, Las Vegas, Nevada 89120, Attention:

Chief Executive Officer, [redacted]. Initial notices to Fund shall be sent to Michael Layman, PO Box 669, New Albany, Ohio, 43054,

Version]

8.2

Governing Law; Venue. Nevada law governs. Holder and Fund submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in

Clark County, Nevada and waive objections to venue and inconvenient forum.

8.3

Jury Trial Waiver. EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT.

8.4

Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge that breach may cause irreparable harm and that specific performance and injunctive

relief may be appropriate in addition to damages, without posting bond to the extent permitted by law.

8.5

Amendment. This Agreement may be amended only in a writing signed by Holder and Fund; any amendment affecting GPOX’s express

obligations or rights under this Agreement, including transfer-consent rights, also requires GPOX’s written consent.

8.6

Expenses. Each party bears its own expenses in connection with this Agreement unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing.

8.7

Entire Agreement; Counterparts. This Agreement and the related Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement regarding the

Put Option. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and by electronic signature.

8.8

Termination. This Agreement terminates upon the earliest of (a) full settlement of a valid exercise, (b) expiration of the Exercise

Period without exercise, (c) conversion of all Underlying Shares by Holder in accordance with Section 2.2, or (d) written agreement of

Holder and Fund, with GPOX consent if its rights are affected. Accrued payment obligations, remedies, confidentiality obligations relating

to Fund information, and Article VIII survive as applicable. A timely valid exercise and the related payment, delivery, information-cooperation

and enforcement obligations survive expiration of the Exercise Period until settlement or final resolution.
