Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (OPTT) announced a leadership transition and related executive agreements. Effective September 14, 2026, Dr. Philipp Stratmann stepped down as President, Chief Executive Officer and director, by mutual agreement, and his 2021 employment letter was terminated in connection with a severance arrangement.
Tracy Pagliara, previously Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, was appointed Acting President and Chief Executive Officer and director, and entered into a new employment agreement providing up to $400,000 base salary, incentive opportunities and 75,000 restricted stock units. Jason Weed was appointed Chief Operating Officer with a similar compensation framework and 50,000 restricted stock units.

Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (OPTT) reported results for the quarter ended July 31, 2026 with total revenue of $1.7 million, up from $1.2 million a year earlier, driven by higher lease revenue. However, cost of revenues of $4.5 million produced a negative gross margin of $2.8 million.
Operating expenses rose to $12.2 million, including $2.7 million of product development costs and a $2.2 million charge for acquired in‑process R&D, leading to a net loss of $10.5 million versus $7.4 million last year. Operating activities used $10.2 million of cash, leaving $7.5 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. Management states that these losses and cash burn raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The company completed an April 2026 convertible note financing (fair value $8.1 million at quarter‑end, effective interest about 20%) and a June 2026 equity and warrant offering providing $9.3 million net proceeds; a change in warrant fair value generated a $4.9 million non‑cash gain. On September 11, 2026 a 1‑for‑30 reverse stock split became effective, and on September 14, 2026 the board appointed an acting CEO following the prior CEO’s resignation.
Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (OPTT) approved and implemented a 1-for-30 reverse stock split of its common stock. The split becomes effective at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 11, 2026, and the stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on NYSE American on September 14, 2026, under new CUSIP 674870605.
Every 30 issued and outstanding common shares will be converted into one share, reducing issued and outstanding common shares from approximately 270.1 million to approximately 9.1 million, with no change to par value or authorized share count. Fractional entitlements will be rounded up to the next whole share, with no cash paid. Convertible securities, options, warrants, equity plan reserves, and the purchase price under the Section 382 Tax Benefits Preservation Plan are all proportionately adjusted so that economic and proportional ownership, including one preferred stock purchase right per common share, remain unchanged.
Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (OPTT) has filed a Form S-1 for a primary offering of common stock paired with common warrants, with the option for certain investors to purchase pre-funded warrants instead of common shares, in a best efforts transaction with no minimum amount required to close.
The company’s common stock trades on NYSE American under “OPTT” and had 270,138,823 shares outstanding as of September 1, 2026, out of 400,000,000 authorized. Additional overhang includes stock options, restricted and performance stock units, and 25,000,000 shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants, all of which may add further dilution over time.
Net proceeds are expected to be used primarily for working capital and general corporate purposes, and up to 30% of the net proceeds from this and other capital raises may, at the option of the holders, be applied to repay outstanding Series C-1 Senior Convertible Notes bearing 4.5% interest and maturing October 1, 2027. The company’s most recent audited financial statements carry an auditor’s explanatory paragraph highlighting substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
