Welcome to our dedicated page for Liqtech Internat SEC filings (Ticker: LIQT), a comprehensive resource for investors and traders seeking official regulatory documents including 10-K annual reports, 10-Q quarterly earnings, 8-K material events, and insider trading forms.
LiqTech International, Inc. filings document governance and public-company disclosures for a Nevada corporation listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The recent Form 8-K record covers a board expansion, the appointment of an independent director, committee assignments to the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee, director-compensation treatment and related-party disclosure matters under Regulation S-K.
LiqTech International, Inc. is registering 11,111,111 shares of common stock and 11,111,111 pre-funded warrants, plus the shares issuable upon warrant exercise, in a primary underwritten offering. The assumed public offering price is $1.80 per share, based on the Nasdaq Capital Market closing price on May 22, 2026.
Investors who would otherwise exceed 4.99% (or, at their election, 9.99%) ownership may buy pre-funded warrants instead of common stock. An over-allotment option allows the underwriter to buy up to an additional 1,666,666 shares. The company will also issue underwriter warrants equal to 4% of the securities sold.
LiqTech expects to use net proceeds to repay $3.0 million of remaining Senior Promissory Notes, repay $1.1 million of recently issued 9.09% original issue discount notes, and fund working capital and general corporate purposes. In a concurrent private placement, $3.0 million of Senior Promissory Notes will be cancelled in exchange for unregistered shares.
Bleichroeder and affiliated reporting persons filed an amended Schedule 13D on LiqTech International, Inc., disclosing significant equity and credit exposure. They beneficially own 3,182,239 shares of common stock, representing 33.7% of the 9,947,841 shares outstanding as of May 12, 2026.
The reporting persons also hold warrants to acquire up to 6,832,379 additional shares, subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation after exercise. Without this limit, they would be deemed to beneficially own 10,014,618 shares, or 61.5% of the outstanding stock. On May 22, 2026, funds they manage purchased 9.09% original discount promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount of $550,000, maturing in two months and initially bearing no interest.
If the notes are not repaid at maturity, they will accrue interest starting at 10% per annum, increasing by 1% each month unpaid, up to 16%, payable monthly. Proceeds are designated for working capital and general corporate purposes, and the reporting persons state they have sole voting and dispositive power over their 3,182,239 shares.
LiqTech International, Inc. is launching a primary offering of $20,000,000 of common stock, with an option for certain investors to buy pre-funded warrants instead of shares to stay below 4.99% or 9.99% ownership caps. The deal assumes an illustrative price of $1.80 per share, implying about 11.1 million new shares and potential over-allotment of up to an additional $3,000,000 of common stock. Shares outstanding would rise from 9,947,841 as of May 22, 2026 to about 21,058,952, excluding prefunded and underwriter warrants. Net proceeds are earmarked mainly to repay $3.0 million of remaining senior promissory notes, $1.1 million of 9.09% original issue discount notes, with the balance for working capital and general corporate purposes. A concurrent private placement will cancel another $3.0 million of senior notes in exchange for equity, further reducing debt but adding additional unregistered shares. The company estimates pro forma net tangible book value would increase from $0.76 to $1.22 per share, resulting in dilution of about $0.58 per new share at the assumed price.
LiqTech International, Inc. entered into a short-term financing agreement by issuing 9.09% original discount promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount of $1.1 million to affiliates of Bleichroeder L.P. and Laurence W. Lytton. The notes were sold for $1,000,000, reflecting a $100,000 original issue discount under a note purchase agreement containing customary terms.
The notes have a two-month term and bear no interest if repaid by maturity. If they are not repaid on time, they accrue interest at 10% per annum, increasing by 1% each month they remain unpaid, up to a maximum of 16% per annum, payable monthly. LiqTech plans to use the proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes.
LiqTech International, Inc. reported a net loss of $2.7M for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared with a $2.4M loss a year earlier, as revenue declined and operating costs rose. Revenue fell 10.4% to $4.1M, mainly due to non‑recurring prior-year system sales, partly offset by stronger Filters, Membranes, and Components volumes and higher Pool and Marine system sales.
Gross profit improved to $0.4M, a 9.5% margin, from $0.1M or 2.7%, helped by mix, better factory utilization and procurement. However, operating expenses increased 15.6% to $2.7M, driven by selling investments, foreign exchange effects and higher R&D. Other expenses rose to $0.45M, mainly from foreign currency losses and interest on senior promissory notes.
The company ended the quarter with cash and restricted cash of $2.7M, net working capital of $8.5M, total assets of $24.9M, and total liabilities of $17.4M. Management states that recent operating losses and cash usage raise substantial doubt about LiqTech’s ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months and is pursuing cost optimization, operational initiatives and potential debt or equity financing to improve liquidity.
LIQTECH INTERNATIONAL INC director Robert Wowk filed an initial Form 3, which is a required disclosure of his status as an insider. The filing lists him as a director and indicates no reportable transactions or derivative positions at this time.

Directors and executives as a group hold 1,005,217 shares, or 10.1%.

LiqTech International, Inc. is a Nevada‑incorporated clean technology company headquartered in Denmark that designs and manufactures silicon carbide ceramic membranes, diesel particulate filters, and integrated liquid filtration systems. It serves industrial wastewater, oil & gas, marine, commercial pool, and other demanding applications, supported by plastics manufacturing and in‑house systems engineering.
The company highlights competitive strengths in patented SiC technology, vertical integration, and global distribution, but also discloses significant risks. These include a continued need for substantial capital and access to financing, exposure to energy price volatility in Europe, global trade restrictions, pandemics, and geopolitical conflicts. LiqTech depends on a small number of major customers, faces supply chain and raw material cost risks, and operates in highly regulated markets where tightening or changing environmental and trade rules can affect demand. It also notes past material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, intense competition, IP protection challenges, cybersecurity threats, foreign currency fluctuations, and common stock risks such as dilution, low trading volume, and price volatility.
LiqTech International, Inc. is expanding its Board of Directors and strengthening governance. The company’s board approved the appointment of Robert (Bob) Wowk as a director, effective March 1, 2026, increasing the board size from five to six members.
Wowk will also serve on the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee, and will receive compensation consistent with other independent directors. He brings over 30 years of finance and business development experience in industrial gas and renewable energy sectors, including senior roles at Linde, Gulf Cryo, Air Products and CFO positions at multiple clean‑tech companies.
The board determined that Wowk qualifies as an independent director under SEC and Nasdaq rules. A press release dated February 18, 2026 provides additional background on his experience and highlights the board’s expectation that his industrial and global expertise will support LiqTech’s growth strategy in advanced filtration and clean technology markets.
LiqTech International CEO and director Chen Fei reported a tax-related share withholding tied to equity compensation. On January 3, 2026, 67,860 shares of common stock were withheld by the company at a price of $1.49 per share in connection with the net settlement of vesting restricted stock units to cover withholding taxes.
Following this transaction, Chen Fei beneficially owned 417,898 shares of LiqTech International common stock directly. A prior Form 4 filed on January 7, 2025 had reported tax withholding from a vesting of 28,394 shares, but 12,835 of those shares were not included in the reported post-transaction balance; that omission is now corrected in the current share balance.
