Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. entered several convertible note financings and restructurings. It sold a new convertible promissory note with a principal amount of $147,840 to 1800 Diagonal Lending LLC for a purchase price of $132,000, providing $125,000 of net funding after fees.

The company also formalized prior funding from Mega Sincere Holdings Limited and Noblebear Investment Holdings LLC into convertible notes with principal amounts of $664,916 and $660,000, bearing 10% annual interest and convertible at $0.646 per share, with caps on beneficial ownership and share issuance.

Insights

CETY adds high-cost, potentially dilutive convertible debt while securing working capital.

Clean Energy Technologies has raised short-term working capital through a discounted convertible note to 1800 Diagonal and by converting prior advances from Mega and Noblebear into structured convertible promissory notes. This clarifies obligations but increases financial leverage.

The 1800 note’s one-time 12% interest charge, nine amortizing payments, and default-triggered conversion at 85% of market price create both cash repayment demands and potential equity issuance at a discount. The fee deductions on each conversion further increase effective cost.

The Mega and Noblebear notes, with 10% annual interest and a conversion price of $0.646 subject to downward adjustment, introduce ongoing dilution risk, though capped by 9.99% beneficial ownership limits and 19.99% Nasdaq Rule 5635(d) issuance thresholds. Overall impact depends on future share price performance and whether holders elect to convert.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On or about March 4, 2026, Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “1800 SPA”) with 1800 Diagonal Lending LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“1800 Diagonal”), pursuant to which the Company sold, and 1800 Diagonal purchased, a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $147,840 (the “1800 Note”) for a purchase price of $132,000 (the “Transaction”).

 

The Transaction was funded by 1800 Diagonal and closed on March 4, 2026, and pursuant to the 1800 SPA, 1800 Diagonal’s legal expenses of $2,500 were paid from the gross purchase price, $4,500 was retained by 1800 Diagonal as a due diligence fee, the Company received net funding of $125,000, and the 1800 Note was issued to 1800 Diagonal.

 

The 1800 SPA includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and customary closing conditions. The 1800 SPA requires that the proceeds from the Transaction be used for general working capital purposes. The 1800 Note matures on December 15, 2026, accrues a one-time interest charge of 12% on the issuance date, shall be paid in 9 monthly payments in the amount of $18,397.78 beginning on April 15, 2026, and continuing on the 15th of each month thereafter, and is convertible following default into shares of the Company’s common stock at the election of the holder at a conversion price equal to 85% of the lowest closing bid price during the 10 trading days prior to the conversion date; provided, however, that the holder may not convert the 1800 Note (i) 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, or (ii) if conversion would result in more than 19.99% of the shares of Company common stock being issued after any required aggregation per Rule 5635(d) when the shareholder approval required by Nasdaq Rule 5635(d) has not been obtained. Additionally, the holder of the 1800 Note is entitled to deduct $1,500 from the conversion amount in each note conversion to cover the holder’s fees associated with the conversion.

 

On or about March 6, 2026, in consideration of (i) $604,469 in funding previously advanced to the Company by Mega Sincere Holdings Limited (“Mega”), a company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, and its affiliates, and (ii) $600,000 in funding previously advanced to the Company by Noblebear Investment Holdings LLC (“Noblebear”), a company organized under the laws of the California and controlled by a Company shareholder and related party, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with Mega and Noblebear (the “Mega and Noblebear SPA’s”) and issued Mega and Noblebear convertible promissory notes in the principal amounts of $664,916 and $660,000, respectively (the “Mega and Noblebear Notes”).

 

The Mega and Noblebear SPA’s include customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company. Each of the Mega and Noblebear Notes accrues interest at 10% per annum, and is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the election of the holder at a conversion price equal to $0.646 (subject to adjustment if the Company issues shares at a lower price), provided, however, that a holder may not convert either of the Mega and Noblebear Notes (i) to the extent that such conversion would result in the holder’s beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock being in excess of 9.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, or (ii) if conversion would result in more than 1,216,600 or 19.99% of the shares of Company common stock being issued per Rule 5635(d) when the shareholder approval required by Nasdaq Rule 5635(d) has not been obtained. Additionally, the holders of each of the Mega and Noblebear Notes are entitled to deduct $1,750 from the conversion amount in each note conversion to cover the holder’s fees associated with the conversion.
