Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Sales Agreement

On July 26, 2024, CNS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Sales Agreement (the "Agreement") with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners ("A.G.P."). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company may sell from time to time through A.G.P., as sales agent or principal, shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock") with an aggregate sales price of up to $5.2 million (the "Shares"). The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares for working capital and for general corporate purposes.

Any sale of Shares pursuant to the Agreement will be made under the Company's effective "shelf" registration statement (the "Registration Statement") on Form S-3 (File No. 333-279285), which became effective on May 17, 2024 and includes a base prospectus (the "Base Prospectus"), and under the related prospectus supplement (the "ATM Prospectus," and collectively with the Base Prospectus, the "Prospectus") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") dated July 26, 2024. The $5.2 million of Common Stock that may be offered, issued, and sold under the ATM Prospectus is included in the $75,000,000 of securities that may be offered, issued, and sold by the Company under the Base Prospectus.

Under the Agreement, the Company may sell Shares through A.G.P. by any method that is deemed an "at the market offering" (as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended). Under the Agreement, A.G.P. will also be able to sell shares of Common Stock by any other method permitted by law, including in negotiated transactions with the Company's prior written consent. Upon delivery of a placement notice and subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, A.G.P. is required to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, applicable state and federal law, rules and regulations, and the rules of The Nasdaq Capital Market to sell the Shares from time to time based upon the Company's instructions, including any price, time or size limits specified by the Company. A.G.P. is not under any obligation to purchase any of the Shares on a principal basis pursuant to the Agreement, except as otherwise agreed by A.G.P. and the Company in writing and expressly set forth in a placement notice. A.G.P.'s obligations to sell the Shares under the Agreement are subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including customary closing conditions. The Company is not obligated to make any sales of Shares under the Agreement and any determination by the Company to do so will be dependent, among other things, on market conditions and the Company's capital raising needs.

The Company or A.G.P., under certain circumstances and upon notice to the other, may suspend the offering of the Shares under the Agreement. The offering of the Shares pursuant to the Agreement will terminate upon the earlier to occure of (i) sale of Shares in an aggregate offering amount equal to $5.2 million, (ii) the expiration of the Registration Statement on the third anniversary of the initial effective date of the Registration Statement, and (iii) if either the Company or A.G.P. terminate the Agreement pursuant to its terms.

The Company will pay a commission to A.G.P. of 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the sale of the Shares sold under the Agreement and reimburse A.G.P. for certain expenses. The Company has also provided A.G.P. with customary indemnification rights.

The foregoing description of the Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The Agreement is also incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement.

The above disclosure shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities discussed herein, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation, or sale of the securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
