Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On December 14, 2025, Quipt Home Medical Corp., a British Columbia corporation ("Quipt" or the "Company"), entered into an Arrangement Agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") to be acquired by 1567208 B.C. LTD, a company existing under the laws of British Columbia ("B.C. Purchaser"), and REM Aggregator, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (individually, "REM Aggregator", and collectively with B.C. Purchaser ("Purchaser" or "Purchasers"). Purchaser are entities affiliated with Kingswood Capital Management, LP (together with its affiliates, "Kingswood").

Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, Purchaser will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company (the "Shares") pursuant to a Plan of Arrangement (the "Arrangement") under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "BCBCA") for US$3.65 per Share.

The Arrangement has been unanimously approved by the board of directors of the Company (the "Board"). In doing so, the Board determined that the consideration to be received by the shareholders is fair, from a financial point of view to the shareholders of the Company and in the best interests of the Company. The Board also has determined unanimously to recommend that the Company's shareholders (the "Shareholders") vote in favor of the Arrangement at a special meeting of the Company (the "Meeting").

At the effective time of the Arrangement (the "Effective Time"), each Share, other than any Shares exchanged by shareholders who may properly exercise dissent rights under the BCBCA ("Dissenting Shareholders"), will be deemed to be transferred to Purchaser in consideration for the right to receive a cash payment from the Purchaser in the amount equal to US$3.65, without interest.

If the Arrangement is consummated, the Shares will be de-listed from The Nasdaq Capital Market and the Toronto Stock Exchange and de-registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company will cease to be a Canadian "reporting issuer", as soon as practicable following the Effective Time.

Each option exercisable to acquire one or more Shares from the Company (a "Company Option"), outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested) will be deemed to be unconditionally vested and exercisable and will, without any further action by or on behalf of a holder of the Company Option, be deemed to be surrendered and transferred by such holder to the Company in consideration for the right to receive a cash payment from the Company in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of US$3.65 over the exercise price of such option, less any amounts the Company is required to withhold for taxes, without interest. Any option for which the exercise price is equal to or greater than US$3.65 will be cancelled for no consideration.

Each of the Company's restricted share units (a "Company RSU") outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested) will, without any further action by or on behalf of the holder of any such Company RSU, be deemed to be transferred by such holder to the Company in consideration for the right to receive a cash payment from the Company in the amount equal to US$3.65, less any amounts the Company is required to withhold for taxes, without interest.

Shares held by Dissenting Shareholders will be deemed to be transferred to Purchaser at the Effective Time in consideration for the right to receive an amount determined and payable in accordance with the provisions of the BCBCA.

Pursuant to the terms of an equity commitment letter entered into by and between Purchaser and Kingswood and delivered to the Company at the signing of the Arrangement Agreement (the "ECL"), Purchaser has obtained equity commitments from Kingswood for the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement, the aggregate proceeds of which Purchaser will be used to fund the consideration payable at closing and thereafter, all fees, costs, expenses and other amounts payable by Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement (the "Commitment"). The ECL includes a guarantee from Kingswood to the Company, on the terms and conditions set forth in the ECL. The Arrangement Agreement also contemplates that Purchaser may enter into a debt financing in connection with funding consideration in the Arrangement.

Closing and Conditions to the Arrangement

The parties expect to close the Arrangement in the first half of 2026, subject to a number of conditions, including: (i) the approval of 66⅔% of the votes cast by the Shareholders, voting together as a single class, at the Meeting, and, if required by Canadian securities laws, a simple majority of the votes cast by the Shareholders excluding votes cast by Shareholders required to be excluded in accordance with Section 8.1(2) of Multi-lateral Instrument 61-101 (the "Required Securityholder Approval"), (ii) court approval of the Arrangement; (iii) the accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in the Arrangement Agreement, subject to specified thresholds and exceptions; (iv) compliance in all material respects with the covenants contained in the Arrangement Agreement; (v) dissenter rights not exercised with respect to more than 10% of the issued and outstanding shares; (vi) the absence of a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement) with respect to the Company; and (vi) receipt of approval or expiration of the applicable waiting period, under the U.S. Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended.

Certain Other Terms of the Arrangement Agreement

The Arrangement Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and Purchaser, including, among others, covenants relating to the Company obtaining certain key regulatory approvals and the conduct of the business of the Company during the interim period between execution of the Arrangement Agreement and the Effective Time.

The Arrangement Agreement also provides customary restrictions on the Company's ability to solicit alternative acquisition proposals from third parties and engage in discussions or negotiations with third parties regarding such proposals. Notwithstanding these restrictions, the Company may under certain circumstances provide information to and participate in discussions or negotiations with third parties with respect to an unsolicited acquisition proposal that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement).

The parties may terminate the Arrangement Agreement in certain circumstances, including: (i) by mutual written agreement; (ii) by either the Company or Purchaser if the Required Securityholder Approval is not obtained; (iii) by either the Company or the Purchaser if any law is enacted, enforced or amended that makes the consummation of the Arrangement illegal or otherwise permanently prohibits or enjoins the Company or Purchaser from consummating the Arrangement; (iv) by either the Company or Purchaser if the Effective Time does not occur on or prior to June 15, 2026 (with an option to extend for up to 60 days in the event certain conditions are not satisfied) or such later date as may be agreed to between the parties; (v) by the non-breaching party if either the Company or Purchaser breaches its representations, warranties or covenants in the Arrangement Agreement in a way that would entitle the party seeking to terminate the Arrangement Agreement not to consummate the Arrangement, subject to the right of the breaching party to cure the breach; (vi) by the Company if, prior to obtaining the Required Securityholder Approval, the Board authorizes the Company to enter into a definitive written agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal and the Company enters into an Alternative Transaction Agreement (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement) with respect to such Superior Proposal, subject to compliance with specified process and notice requirements; (vii) by Purchaser if, prior to obtaining the Required Securityholder Approval, the Board has changed its recommendation in favor of the Arrangement or fails to reconfirm its recommendation under certain circumstances; (viii) by Purchaser if a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Company has occurred and is continuing; (ix) the Company enters into an Alternative Transaction Agreement; or (x) the Company breaches the non-solicit obligations or covenants in any material respect. The Arrangement Agreement also provides for the payment by the Company to Purchaser of a termination fee of $6,950,000 million if the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in connection with a termination described in (vi), (vii), (ix) or (x) above.

The foregoing description of the Arrangement Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Arrangement Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 2.1 to this report and which is incorporated herein by reference.

The Arrangement Agreement has been included to provide investors with information regarding its terms and is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, Purchaser or their respective subsidiaries and affiliates.

Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Arrangement Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the parties thereto or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of representations and warranties may change after the date of the Arrangement Agreement, and unless required by applicable law, the Company does not undertake any obligation to update such information.
