• Public Offering Finalized

  LiqTech International is offering 20,000,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $1.00 per share, aiming to raise approximately $18.0 million in net proceeds. This finalizes the terms of the offering initiated with the S-1/A filing on May 27, 2026.

• Extreme Share Dilution

  The offering, combined with a concurrent debt-to-equity conversion, could increase the number of outstanding shares by over 260% (from 9.95 million to approximately 35.95 million if the over-allotment option is fully exercised), leading to significant dilution for existing shareholders.

• Discounted Offering Price

  The offering price of $1.00 per share represents a 17.36% discount compared to the last reported sale price of $1.21 per share on June 4, 2026.

• Debt Repayment and Liquidity

  Proceeds will be used to repay $3.0 million of Senior Promissory Notes and $1.1 million of 9.09% OID Notes, along with funding working capital and general corporate purposes. This follows a concurrent private placement converting an additional $3.0 million of senior notes into equity.

This filing finalizes the terms and pricing of a substantial public offering, which is critical for LiqTech International given its recent 'going concern' warning and increased cash burn. The offering is highly dilutive, potentially increasing outstanding shares by over 260%, and is priced at a significant discount to the market. While it provides a much-needed cash infusion to repay high-cost debt and fund operations, the terms are very unfavorable to existing shareholders.
