Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. - Form 8-K Summary
Business Context and Reporting Period
This Current Report (Form 8-K) was filed on April 20, 2017, covering events occurring between January 4, 2017, and February 14, 2017. The filing details a series of debt settlements, conversions, and new financing arrangements involving Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. (the "Registrant") and various lenders, including EMA Financial, LLC, Auctus Fund, LLC, JSJ Investments, Inc., and Megawell USA Technology Investment Fund I LLC ("MW I").
Key Financial Metrics and Transactions
The filing does not provide standard financial statements (revenue, profit, cash flow, or margins). Instead, it reports specific debt transaction values:
- EMA Financial Settlement: Total obligation of $87,059.26 (principal and interest). $60,941.49 was satisfied via a payment of $97,506.38. Remaining balance: $26,117.77.
- Auctus Fund (AF) Conversion and Payoff: $15,400 converted into 7,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Remaining balance of $66,205.55 was paid in full with a total payment of $89,401.98.
- JSJ Investments Payoff: Total payoff amount of $86,079.37 satisfied the full obligation under the JSJ Note.
- New Financing (MW I): MW I advanced funds to cover the above settlements and acquired the "Master Debenture" from Red Dot Investment, Inc. All advances are governed by the Master Debenture terms.
Material Changes
The primary material change is the restructuring of the company's short-term debt profile. The Registrant settled or partially settled three distinct convertible notes through a combination of cash payments, equity conversion, and a new credit facility. Specifically, the AF Note and JSJ Note were satisfied in full, while the EMA Note was partially settled, leaving a reduced balance outstanding.
Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
Management Commentary and Structure: The transactions were facilitated by MW I, which deposited funds into escrow to fund the settlements. MW I acquired the Master Debenture and was subrogated to the rights of the repaid note holders. The new debt is subject to financing fees, interest, minimum interest, and convertibility under the Master Debenture terms.
Risks and Contingencies: The issuance of the new convertible debt to MW I was made pursuant to the Section 4(a)(2) exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. The filing notes that the summary descriptions are qualified by the full text of the agreements filed as exhibits.
