Summary
LiqTech International disclosed a significant debt restructuring tied to an upcoming public offering. The company is eliminating $6 million in senior promissory notes issued in 2022 through a split approach: converting $3 million to common stock at the IPO price and paying the remaining $3 million plus accrued interest in cash.
This transaction is contingent on closing an underwritten public offering, making the deal's success dependent on capital market conditions. For retail investors, this matters because it will dilute existing shareholders through the equity conversion while simultaneously requiring substantial cash from the offering proceeds.
The conversion price matching the IPO price means note holders are betting on the offering's success alongside new investors. However, the trade-off is a cleaner balance sheet with zero debt from these notes once completed. Watch the terms of the upcoming public offering closely, particularly the offering price and size. The amount raised must cover the $3 million cash payment, accrued interest, and still leave adequate working capital. Also monitor for selling pressure once note holders' shares become tradable under their registration rights agreement.

Item 1.01 — Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement filed; see Key Changes for terms.
Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →
On May 26, 2026, LiqTech International, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Debt Cancellation Agreement (the “Debt Cancellation Agreement”) with affiliates of Bleichroeder L.P., 21 April Fund, L.P., and 21 April Fund, Ltd. (the “Note Holders”).
The Company entered into an agreement with note holders to restructure $6.0 million of senior promissory notes originally issued in 2022. This agreement is contingent upon closing of an underwritten public offering.

the Note Holders shall cancel $3.0 million of the Senior Promissory Notes in exchange for $3.0 million of shares of the Company’s common stock at a deemed issuance price per share equal to the public offering price per share to be sold in the Offering
Half of the outstanding senior debt ($3.0 million) will be converted to common stock at the IPO price, diluting existing shareholders but eliminating debt obligations. The conversion price ties directly to the public offering price, aligning note holder interests with the offering success.
Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →
the Company shall pay the Note Holders in cash $3.0 million plus all interest accrued under the Senior Promissory Notes
The remaining $3.0 million principal plus accrued interest will be paid in cash at closing. This requires the Company to have sufficient cash proceeds from the offering to fund this repayment while maintaining adequate working capital.

After the transactions contemplated by the Debt Cancellation Agreement, the Senior Promissory Notes will no longer be outstanding.
Upon completion, all $6.0 million of senior promissory notes will be eliminated from the balance sheet through the combination of equity conversion and cash payment. This strengthens the Company's capital structure by removing debt obligations.
Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →
The Note Holders are entitled to resale registration rights under a registration rights agreement to be entered into upon the closing for the shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the Debt Cancellation Agreement.
Note holders receiving equity will have registration rights allowing them to resell shares, potentially creating selling pressure post-offering. This is standard for PIPE-type transactions but investors should be aware of potential future dilution impact.
Event · Item 3.02 — Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
LiqTech disclosed an unregistered sale of equity securities under Section 4(a)(2) exemption, with details incorporated from Item 1.01.
Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →
The shares are being offered pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a) (2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder.
LiqTech sold equity securities in a private placement without SEC registration, relying on the Section 4(a)(2) exemption for non-public offerings and Rule 506(b) for accredited investors. The filing references Item 1.01 for transaction details (amount, purchaser, terms), which are not included in the provided excerpt. These shares cannot be freely traded without registration or another exemption.
Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →
The shares issuable have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration requirements.
The newly issued shares are restricted securities that cannot be resold publicly without SEC registration or qualifying for a resale exemption like Rule 144. This limits liquidity for the purchaser and means these shares will not immediately add to the tradable float.
Event · Item 9.01 — Financial Statements and Exhibits

LiqTech International executed a debt cancellation agreement with multiple creditor entities including affiliates of Bleichroeder L.P., 21 April Fund, L.P., and 21 April Fund, Ltd. on May 26, 2026. The 8-K does not provide details on the amount of debt cancelled or the terms, but debt cancellation typically improves a company's balance sheet by reducing liabilities without cash outlay.
