The filing record also includes proxy materials addressing annual meeting proposals, executive compensation and stockholder votes, along with material-event reports on Nasdaq listing compliance and reverse-split-related capital structure actions.

Aqua Metals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AQMS) has released its 2025 Definitive Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting scheduled for July 22, 2025 in Reno, Nevada. Stockholders of record as of June 17, 2025 will vote on six key proposals:
- Election of four directors (Stephen Cotton, Vincent L. DiVito, Eric Gangloff, Steven Henderson).
- Issuance of up to $10 million in common stock under a purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital, potentially exceeding 19.99% of current shares outstanding.
- Reverse stock split authorization—a Board-selected ratio between 1-for-2 and 1-for-10 aimed at maintaining Nasdaq compliance and improving marketability.
- Increase in shares reserved under the 2019 Stock Incentive Plan.
- Ratification of Forvis Mazars, LLP as independent auditor for FY 2025.
- Advisory vote on executive compensation.
The Board unanimously recommends “FOR” all proposals. If approved, the Lincoln Park facility offers flexible, at-the-market financing, while the reverse split would boost per-share price but also expand the pool of authorized but unissued shares, heightening future dilution potential. Failure to pass the reverse split risks Nasdaq delisting because AQMS previously effected a split within 12 months and currently trades below $1. The proxy also outlines refreshed corporate governance policies, committee compositions, and a claw-back policy adopted in Nov 2023.
