Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 19, 2025, Genasys Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), entered into an Amended and Restated Cooperation Agreement (the "A&R Cooperation Agreement") with Nicoya Capital LLC, Nicoya Fund LLC and Nicoya Genasys-SPV LLC (collectively, the "Investor Parties"), affiliates of Company director R. Rimmy Malhotra, which amended and restated the terms of the Cooperation Agreement, dated as of January 14, 2025, by and between the Company and the Investor Parties. In connection with the A&R Cooperation Agreement, the Company agreed to, among other things, nominate Richard S. Danforth, Susan Lee Schmeiser, William H. Dodd, W. Craig Fugate and Mr. Malhotra for election to the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") at the Company's 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "2026 Annual Meeting") and to collaborate with the Investor Parties in good faith to identify a mutually acceptable nominee for membership on the Board to serve as a director and be appointed as Chair of the Audit Committee of the Board, subject to securities laws and exchange rules. The A&R Cooperation Agreement also provides for Richard H. Osgood III and Mark Culhane to serve on the Company's strategic advisory committee beginning with the date of the 2026 Annual Meeting, and for Mr. Malhotra to serve as interim Chair of the Audit Committee in the event a mutually acceptable nominee is not identified and agreed upon prior to the filing of the Company's quarterly report for the period ending June 30, 2026.

Pursuant to the A&R Cooperation Agreement, the Investor Parties agreed to abide by certain standstill restrictions during the term of the A&R Cooperation Agreement. The A&R Cooperation Agreement also includes procedures regarding any replacement of Mr. Malhotra during the term of the agreement and a mutual non-disparagement provision. The A&R Cooperation Agreement will remain effective until the earlier of (a) the date that is 15 calendar days prior to the deadline set forth in the Company's Restated Bylaws for the stockholder nomination of director candidates for election to the Board at the Company's 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, (b) any material breach of the A&R Cooperation Agreement by the Investor Parties, Mr. Malhotra or any director appointed to replace Mr. Malhotra not being cured within five business days' written notice by the Company to the Investor Parties; provided that the Company is not then in material breach of the A&R Cooperation Agreement, or (c) applicable at any time beginning with the 2026 Annual Meeting, five days after the resignation of Mr. Malhotra from the Board and simultaneous delivery by the Investor Parties to the Company of a written representation that the Investor Parties irrevocably waive their right to appoint a director to replace Mr. Malhotra.

The A&R Cooperation Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the A&R Cooperation Agreement is only a summary, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 10.1.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

In accordance with the A&R Cooperation Agreement, the Board nominated Messrs. Danforth, Dodd, Fugate and Malhotra and Ms. Schmeiser for election to the Board at the 2026 Annual Meeting. As a result, Mark Culhane will not stand for re-election, which is not because of a disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices. Mr. Culhane has served as a director since July 2024 and will continue to serve as a director for the remainder of his term until the 2026 Annual Meeting.
