SmartKem, Inc. and Ferrox Critical Minerals Ltd. amended three convertible promissory notes, extending each maturity date to June 30, 2027. Ferrox issued the notes to SmartKem or issued them and assigned them to SmartKem. Their original principal amounts were $1.5 million for the March Note, $2.7 million for the June Note and $4.9 million for the July Note.
The amendment replaced the March Note’s October 30, 2026 maturity date, the June Note’s December 31, 2026 date and the July Note’s January 31, 2027 date. Except for the changes made by the amendment, each note remains unmodified and in full force and effect.
SmartKem, Inc. (SMTK) approved a transaction retention bonus plan for its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and independent directors in connection with the previously announced Ferrox Critical Minerals, Ltd. transaction and the related Registration Statement on Form S-4 and proxy statement/prospectus. The plan provides for aggregate retention bonuses of up to $750,000, with half of each recipient’s bonus (Tranche 1) payable upon Board approval on September 16, 2026, and the remaining half (Tranche 2) payable upon the filing of the Form S-4. All retention amounts are subject to a 100% clawback if a recipient resigns before the earlier of the closing of the Ferrox transaction or June 30, 2027.
SmartKem, Inc. (SMTK) is registering, for resale by existing investors, up to 15,127,662 shares of common stock, including 2,516,786 shares issuable on conversion of Series A preferred stock, 161,313 warrant shares, and 12,449,563 additional registration-rights shares. SmartKem itself is not selling shares and will receive no proceeds from these resales, other than any cash paid upon warrant exercises, which are earmarked for general working capital.
SmartKem recently completed a 1‑for‑50 reverse stock split effective August 20, 2026, and now has authorized capital of 5,000,000,000 common shares plus 10,000,000 preferred shares, including 31,412 authorized Series A preferred. The company agreed to an all‑stock Business Combination to acquire Ferrox Critical Minerals, Ltd. for approximately $125 million, subject to shareholder approvals, Nasdaq listing of the new shares, effectiveness of a Form S‑4, and other customary conditions; the agreement may be terminated if not completed by March 31, 2027 and includes a $3 million termination fee payable by SmartKem in certain circumstances.
To support Ferrox, SmartKem has provided several convertible bridge loans totaling multiple millions of dollars in principal at 5.0% interest, maturing December 31, 2026, with conversion rights into Ferrox equity and associated rights of first refusal and exclusivity through that date. SmartKem also highlights that its auditors’ reports for 2024 and 2025 include going‑concern explanatory paragraphs regarding its ability to continue as a going concern, and that completing the Ferrox transaction is uncertain and subject to numerous risks, including potential shareholder dilution and possible liquidation of SmartKem if strategic alternatives fail.
SmartKem, Inc. (SMTK) has filed a Form S-1 registering for resale up to 30,000,000 shares of common stock that may be issued to Keystone Capital Partners, LLC under a committed equity financing agreement with a total purchase commitment of up to $500 million, at SmartKem’s discretion and subject to limits, including a 4.99% beneficial ownership cap.
SmartKem will not receive proceeds from Keystone’s resale of the shares, but may receive cash from its own sales of stock to Keystone, which it intends to use for general corporate purposes and working capital. Common shares outstanding were 1,035,799 as of September 18, 2026, and would be 31,035,799 if all registered shares are issued, implying substantial potential dilution.
Recent developments include a 1-for-50 reverse stock split effective August 20, 2026, a proposed all-stock acquisition of Ferrox Critical Minerals, Ltd. valued at approximately $125 million, bridge loans to Ferrox totaling several million dollars, significant Series A preferred stock and warrant financings, senior secured notes and settlements, and the creditors’ voluntary liquidation of its U.K. subsidiary.

SmartKem, Inc. (SMTK) reports that it has regained compliance with The Nasdaq Capital Market’s minimum bid price listing requirement. On September 10, 2026, Nasdaq staff notified the company that, for the 13 consecutive business days from August 21 through September 9, 2026, the closing bid price of its common stock was at or above $1.00 per share, satisfying Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The staff has deemed the matter closed, and SmartKem’s Nasdaq listing is no longer under this bid-price deficiency notice.
SmartKem, Inc. (SMTK) reported that its Chief Operating Officer, Jonathan Warkins, submitted his voluntary resignation on August 30, 2026, which the company accepted.

SmartKem, Inc. (SMTK) amended its Certificate of Incorporation to implement a 1-for-50 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock. The amendment became effective at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 20, 2026.
At the effective time, every fifty shares of common stock were converted into one share. No fractional shares will be issued; any fractional share will be rounded up to the next whole share. The par value of the common stock remains $0.0001 per share, and the authorized number of shares of common stock is unchanged. Outstanding stock options, warrants, and the number of shares reserved under the equity incentive plan will all be adjusted proportionately.
SmartKem, Inc. (SMTK) reports that its board, following prior shareholder authorization, approved a 1-for-50 reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock. The reverse split becomes effective on August 20, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and the stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on the Nasdaq Capital Market on August 21, 2026 under the existing ticker SMTK and new CUSIP 83193D302. The reverse split is intended to increase the per share trading price to satisfy Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement for continued listing. Every 50 shares will be combined into one share, reducing outstanding shares proportionally, while authorized shares will not change. Fractional positions will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. Proportionate adjustments will be made to equity awards, warrants, other equity-based securities, and their exercise or conversion prices.
SmartKem, Inc. reported a net loss of $3.3 million for the quarter and $22.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with losses of $2.4 million and $4.5 million a year earlier. Results include a $45.6 million bad debt write-off on intercompany balances with SmartKem Limited and a $43.3 million gain on that subsidiary’s deconsolidation after it entered Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation.
Operating loss improved to $4.0 million for the first half from $7.5 million, driven by sharply lower R&D and G&A expenses, but revenue and grant income largely disappeared. Cash rose to $3.7 million from $0.4 million at year-end, supported by $13.2 million of net financing inflows, while liabilities fell to $0.7 million and stockholders’ equity turned positive at $9.7 million. The company invested $6.5 million into convertible notes of Ferrox Critical Minerals and later agreed to acquire Ferrox in an all-stock transaction valued at about $125 million. Management states there is substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern because current cash is not expected to fund 12 months of operations, and future funding will rely on additional equity, debt and an equity line of credit.
SmartKem, Inc. shareholder Joseph Christopher Lizzio filed an amended Schedule 13G/A reporting his beneficial ownership of Common Stock. As of August 4, 2026, he beneficially owned 419,000 shares of Common Stock, including 180,000 shares held jointly with his spouse.
This position represents approximately 1.62% of SmartKem’s outstanding Common Stock, based on 25,862,643 shares outstanding as of July 27, 2026. Lizzio has sole voting and dispositive power over 239,000 shares and shared voting and dispositive power over 180,000 shares. He states that he owns 5% or less of the class and excludes shares held by his adult children, over which he has no voting or dispositive power.
