Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 10, 2024, HCW Biologics Inc. (the "Company") exercised its right to terminate its credit agreement (the "Agreement"), dated April 21, 2023, with Prime Capital Ventures, LLC (the "Lender"), as permitted under the terms of the Agreement. The termination followed repeated delays in funding and related concerns. There are no borrowings under the Agreement, and the Company will not incur any penalties as a result of such termination under the terms of the Agreement. Upon exercising its right to terminate the Agreement, the Company became entitled to receive the return of the $5.25 million that the Company placed on deposit to establish an interest reserve account with the Lender, as required under the terms of the Agreement.

The Company entered the Agreement to obtain financing for the purpose of building its proposed manufacturing facility and upgrading its research and laboratory facilities at its new headquarters located in Miramar, Florida. The Company is currently seeking an alternative source of financing to allow the building project to continue with minimal delays.
