Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 3, 2023, Cingulate Inc. (the "Company") entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement (the "ATM Agreement") with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, as sales agent ("Wainwright"), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time through Wainwright, shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Common Stock"), for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $2,650,000 (the "Shares"). The offer and sale of the Shares will be made pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-269104) and the related prospectus, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated January 3, 2023 (the "Registration Statement") and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on such date pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

Pursuant to the ATM Agreement, Wainwright may sell the Shares in sales deemed to be "at-the-market" equity offerings as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, including sales made directly on or through the Nasdaq Capital Market. If agreed to in a separate terms agreement, the Company may sell Shares to Wainwright as principal, at a purchase price agreed upon by Wainwright and the Company. Wainwright may also sell Shares in negotiated transactions with the Company's prior approval. The offer and sale of the Shares pursuant to the ATM Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (a) the issuance and sale of all of the Shares subject to the ATM Agreement or (b) the termination of the ATM Agreement by Wainwright or the Company pursuant to the terms thereof. The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Shares, and may at any time suspend offers under the Agreement or terminate the Agreement.

The Company has agreed to pay Wainwright a commission of 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from any Shares sold by Wainwright and to provide Wainwright with customary indemnification and contribution rights, including for liabilities under the Securities Act. The Company also will reimburse Wainwright for certain specified expenses in connection with entering into the ATM Agreement. The ATM Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and conditions to the placements of the Shares pursuant thereto.

The foregoing summary of the ATM Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the ATM Agreement, which is attached as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Shares, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation, or sale of the Shares in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
