Analysis · CETY · Energy & Transportation
Clean Energy Technologies has secured a $141,000 net capital infusion through a convertible promissory note with highly unfavorable terms. This financing, while providing immediate working capital, comes at a significant cost, including a 12% one-time interest charge and a 22% default interest rate. The note is convertible into common stock at a deep discount (85% of the lowest bid price) only upon default, which could lead to substantial dilution for existing shareholders. This transaction underscores the company's ongoing financial distress, following a series of delisting notices, financial restatements, and previous high-interest loans, indicating persistent challenges in securing less punitive capital.
