    Company reported Q1 2026 financial results via press release and earnings presentation; actual figures furnished as exhibits, not filed in the 8-K body.

Summary

X-Energy disclosed that its post-IPO lock-up period will end on September 1, 2026, nearly seven weeks earlier than the originally scheduled October 20 date. This early release affects all officers, directors, and substantially all shareholders who agreed to a 180-day restriction following the company's April 23, 2026 public offering.

The acceleration stems from a contractual provision: because the original end date falls within the company's quarterly earnings blackout period, the lock-up automatically terminates ten trading days before that blackout begins. Retail investors should expect potential selling pressure starting September 1 as a large volume of previously restricted shares becomes eligible for public sale.

Insiders and early investors may choose to liquidate positions, which could pressure the stock price. The company also reported Q1 2026 earnings via press release, though the 8-K provides no financial details. Watch trading volume and price action closely in late August and early September. Monitor insider transaction filings (Form 4s) after September 1 to gauge whether officers and directors are actually selling, which would signal their confidence level in the company's near-term prospects.

On June 4, 2026, X-Energy, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release reporting its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

The company disclosed its first quarter 2026 financial results through a press release and accompanying earnings presentation. The 8-K itself does not contain the actual financial figures, which are furnished as exhibits rather than filed, meaning they are not subject to liability under Section 18 of the Exchange Act.

Pursuant to the lock-up agreements with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representative of the several underwriters (the “Representative”), the “Restricted Period will end ten trading days prior to the commencement of a blackout period if (i) at least 120 days have elapsed since the date of the Prospectus and (ii) the Restricted Period is scheduled to end during or within five trading days prior to a blackout period ... ” The Restricted Period is scheduled to end on October 20, 2026, which falls within the Company's quarterly blackout period. Therefore, under the lock-up agreements, the Restricted Period will end on September 1, 2026, ten trading days prior to the commencement of such blackout period, and the shares subject to the lock-up agreements will become eligible for sale in the public market (subject to any additional applicable trading limitations).

The company's lock-up period, which restricts officers, directors, and substantially all shareholders from selling their shares following the April 23, 2026 public offering, will end early on September 1, 2026 instead of the originally scheduled October 20, 2026 date. This early release occurs because the original end date falls within the company's quarterly blackout period, triggering a contractual provision that moves the release date ten trading days before the blackout begins. This means a significant volume of previously restricted shares will become eligible for sale in the public market approximately $0.0001 seven weeks earlier than initially expected.

Added Lock-up scope medium

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

all of the Company's officers, directors, and substantially all of the Company’s holders of outstanding Common Stock were parties to lock-up agreements with the underwriters that restrict their ability to sell or transfer their shares, or otherwise engage in certain transactions related to their shares, for a period of 180 days after April 23, 2026

The lock-up agreements cover all company officers and directors plus substantially all existing shareholders, representing a broad restriction on share sales following the April 2026 public offering. The 180-day restriction period was designed to prevent immediate selling pressure after the offering and provide price stability during the initial trading period.
