CEA Industries SEC Filings

CEA Industries Inc. received a notice from Nasdaq that it is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a) because it did not hold an annual shareholder meeting within 12 months of its fiscal year ended April 30, 2026. The company has until June 22, 2026 to submit a plan showing how it will regain compliance, and Nasdaq may grant up to 180 days from the fiscal year end, through October 27, 2026, for CEA to do so. The company plans to prepare a proxy statement and organize an annual meeting in the coming weeks, but there is no assurance Nasdaq will accept its plan. If the plan is rejected, CEA’s securities may be subject to delisting, although the company would be able to appeal to a hearings panel.

CEA Industries Inc. entered a master loan agreement with BitGo Prime that allows it to borrow digital assets or cash against overcollateralized positions, including BNB, subject to margin calls. The company initially drew 10 million USDC at a 9.5% annual fee, maturing on October 30, 2026, with options to renew in six‑month terms. Financial covenants require at least $25 million of Borrower’s Net Equity and a Borrower’s Leverage Ratio not exceeding 200%. Separately, President and director Anthony K. McDonald resigned and entered a severance agreement providing $250,000 over 12 months plus up to $10,000 for legal fees, while his existing equity awards remain under their current terms. The Board appointed Carly E. Howard as Chair, continuing a governance-focused refresh of the company’s leadership.

According to the vesting schedule, 25% of the RSUs, or 90,909 shares, will vest on April 6, 2027, with the remaining units vesting in equal quarterly installments through April 6, 2030, contingent on his continued service.

CEA Industries Inc. approved a new 2026 Inducement Plan and granted a significant equity award to its recently appointed Chief Financial Officer, William (Brent) Miller. The plan authorizes up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock for equity awards to new employees as hiring incentives.

Under this plan, Mr. Miller received 363,636 time-based restricted stock units with a grant date fair value of $1,000,000. Twenty-five percent vests on the first anniversary of the grant, with the remainder vesting in equal quarterly installments through the fourth anniversary, subject to continued service.

CEA Industries Inc. reported that its board is seeking to renegotiate the company’s Asset Management Agreement with 10X Capital Asset Management LLC, which was originally signed in August 2025. After discussions with 10X, the board delivered a “Market Proposal” in early March.

The proposal would cut management fees from 1.75% of treasury asset NAV to 0.50% of NAV, with a potential 0.25% performance bonus, shorten the term from 20 years to two years from the original date, and reduce liquidated damages on termination. The company says 10X has not offered meaningful concessions, the agreement cannot be amended or terminated unilaterally without a substantial break fee, and the board will keep pursuing ways to improve terms while also preparing a consent revocation campaign in response to YZi Labs’ consent solicitation.

YZI Labs Management has filed a preliminary consent statement and a WHITE consent card to solicit written consents to expand the Board of Directors of CEA Industries Inc. and elect nominated directors. The solicitation materials will be available at the SEC website.

The filing discloses that YZi Labs Management directly beneficially owns 2,150,481 shares of Common Stock and holds warrants exercisable into 7,750,510, 9,900,991 and 3,564,359 shares subject to 4.99% Beneficial Ownership Limitations; the warrants are not expected to be exercisable within 60 days due to those limits.
