securities purchase agreement financial
"entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with Pacific Pier"
A securities purchase agreement is a written contract between a buyer and a seller outlining the terms for buying or selling financial assets such as stocks or bonds. It specifies details like the price, quantity, and conditions of the transaction, similar to a shopping list with agreed-upon terms. For investors, it provides clarity and legal protection when transferring ownership of these financial instruments.
convertible promissory note financial
"purchased, a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $178,410"
A convertible promissory note is a loan a company takes now that can later be turned into shares instead of being repaid in cash. Think of it as lending money with the option to accept ownership in the business down the road; that matters to investors because it affects who gets paid first, how much ownership existing shareholders keep, and the company’s future valuation and cash needs. Terms such as conversion price, interest and maturity determine the financial impact.
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635 regulatory
"requires the Company to satisfy the shareholder approval requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635"
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635 is a stock-exchange rule that requires a listed company to get shareholder approval before issuing a large number of new shares or other securities that can convert into shares or carry voting power beyond set thresholds. Investors should care because these approvals prevent unexpected dilution of existing ownership and sudden shifts in voting control—think of it like needing agreement from current owners before cutting the pizza into many more slices that shrink each person’s piece.
beneficial ownership financial
"conversion would result in the holder’s beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock"
Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.

"The Note was sold in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933"

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Effective August 10, 2026, Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with Pacific Pier Capital II, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Pacific Pier”), pursuant to which the Company sold, and Pacific Pier purchased, a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $178,410 (the “Note”) for a purchase price of $150,000.80 (the “Transaction”).

 

The Transaction was funded by Pacific Pier and closed on April 22, 2026, and pursuant to the SPA, Pacific Pier’s legal expenses of $7,000 were paid from the gross purchase price, the Company received net funding of $143,000.80, and the Note was issued to Pacific Pier.

 

The SPA includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and customary closing conditions. The SPA requires that the proceeds from the Transaction be used for business development and the payment of amounts owed to service providers of the Company, but not for repayment of indebtedness owed to officers, directors or employees of the Company or their affiliates, the repayment of any debt issued in corporate finance transactions, any loan to or investment in any other corporation, partnership, enterprise or other person (except in connection with the Company’s currently existing operations), or any loan, credit, or advance to any officers, directors, employees, or affiliates of the Company. The SPA also (i) requires the Company to satisfy the shareholder approval requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635, (ii) prohibits the issuance of more than 2,000,000 shares of Company common stock (the “Exchange Cap”) to Pacific Pier in the aggregate until shareholder approval has been received to issue shares in excess of the Exchange Cap and such approval has become effective pursuant to the rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and (iii) requires the Company to obtain shareholder approval for the issuance of shares in excess of Exchange Cap under the Transaction and cause it to become effective under the rules promulgated under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by November 7, 2026.

 

The Note matures 12 months following the issue date set forth in the Note (August 7, 2026), accrues interest of 12% per annum, and is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the election of the holder, at or following six months after the issue date, at a conversion price equal to 85% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price (during regular trading hours) on any trading day during the 10 trading days prior to the conversion date; provided, however, that the holder may not convert the Note to the extent that such conversion would result in the holder’s beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock being in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. Additionally, the holder of the Note is entitled to deduct $1,750 from the conversion amount (or $500 if the conversion amount is $25,000 or less) in each note conversion to cover the holder’s fees associated with the conversion.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the SPA and Note do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of those agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
