This Amendment No. 1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K originally filed by Reborn Coffee, Inc. (the "Company") with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 10, 2026 (the "Original Form 8-K") is being filed to amend the disclosure in Item 5.02 contained in the Original Form 8-K regarding the resignation of Jay Kim as Co-Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
The Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 to disclose that in addition to resigning as Co-Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Jay Kim also notified the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") of his resignation as Chief Financial Officer, Director, and from all other positions, offices, directorships, committee memberships, and responsibilities that he holds in the Company and each of its subsidiaries and affiliates. Jay Kim's resignation as Chief Financial Officer, Director, and from all positions held in the Company were inadvertently omitted in the Original Form 8-K. This Amendment No.1 also discloses the appointment of Jung Jae Lim as interim Chief Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer of the Company.
This Amendment No. 1 amends and restates the disclosure in Item 5.02 contained in the Original Form 8-K. Except as set forth herein, the reminder of the Original Form 8-K remains unchanged.
