Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 6-K report covers the month of May 2026 for Gelteq Limited, a foreign private issuer. The filing discloses a material financing agreement entered into on May 7, 2026, with an institutional investor to secure debt financing.
Key Financial Metrics and Transaction Details
The Company secured a debt facility with an aggregate principal amount of up to $3.5 million, structured in two tranches:
- Initial Tranche: Funded at closing with a principal amount of $1,165,000. Net proceeds were $1.0 million after an original issue discount (OID) of $150,000.
- Second Tranche: Conditional funding of $2.5 million (principal amount of $2,875,000; OID of $375,000), subject to shareholder approval and the absence of Trigger Events.
- Interest Rate: 7% per annum on the Initial Note.

- Default Interest: 15% per annum upon an Event of Default.
The filing does not provide specific revenue, profit, cash flow, or existing debt levels outside of this new transaction.
Material Changes and Terms
The primary material change is the execution of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the issuance of the Initial Convertible Promissory Note. Key terms include:
- Conversion Mechanics: Beginning six months post-closing, the Investor may convert the note into Ordinary Shares or cash. The conversion price is 93% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price (VWAP) over the preceding five trading days, with a floor of $0.50.
- Trigger Events: The note includes "Trigger Effects" where the outstanding balance increases by 15% for Major Trigger Events and 5% for Minor Trigger Events (up to three times each). Failure to cure a Trigger Event within five trading days constitutes an Event of Default.
- Acceleration: Upon an Event of Default, the Investor may accelerate the note, making the full balance immediately due in cash.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Management commentary is limited to the disclosure of the financing terms. Significant risks and contingencies identified include:
- Shareholder Approval: The second tranche of $2.5 million is contingent upon shareholder approval. If not obtained, the Company will seek approval every 60 days.
- Dilution Risk: The conversion price mechanism (93% of lowest VWAP) and the $0.50 floor present potential dilution risks to existing shareholders.
- Liquidity Risk: The occurrence of Trigger Events or an Event of Default could lead to immediate cash demands and increased debt obligations.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the status of the required shareholder approval for the second tranche.
- Review the full text of the Convertible Promissory Note (Exhibit 4.1) to understand specific definitions of "Major Trigger Event" and "Minor Trigger Event."
- Assess the Company's current cash position to determine if it can meet the 110% prepayment penalty or potential default acceleration.
- Monitor the trading price of Ordinary Shares relative to the $0.50 conversion floor and the 15% price appreciation threshold for conversion.
