Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
The disclosures set forth in Item 2.03 are hereby incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.
 
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
 
On July 19, 2022, Starco Brands, Inc. (the "Company") and Ross Sklar, its Chief Executive Officer ("Sklar"), agreed to amend and restate a promissory note issued in favor of Ross Sklar on January 24, 2022 (the "Old Note"). Sklar agreed to extend the term of the Old Note through the entry into a First Amended and Restated Promissory Note (the "Amended Note") in exchange for the Company paying the accrued and unpaid interest under the Old Note, including during the period following maturity date of the Old Note (January 24, 2022 to July 19, 2022). In exchange for extending the term, Sklar waived the default interest rate of ten percent (10%) and agreed to interest accrual at the standard four percent (4%) rate during the period following maturity.
 
The Amended Note carries a guaranteed 4% interest rate, matures on July 19, 2023, and has a 10% interest rate on a default of repayment at maturity. The Company, at its option, may prepay the Promissory Note, in whole or in part, without prepayment penalty of any kind, and the obligations under the Amended Note will accelerate in full upon an Event of Default.   
 
The foregoing summary of the terms of the agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended Note, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms used in this Item 2.03 but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Amended Note.
