Aqua Metals, Inc. reported a net loss of $15,085,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 (quarterly loss $6,770,000) and had $1,933,000 of cash at period end. The company did not generate revenue from commercial operations during the periods presented and recorded a noncash $9,012,000 impairment and loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment related to the sale of its TRIC facility.

Management retired approximately $4,000,000 of notes payable (including a $3,000,000 Summit loan) in connection with the asset sale and received net proceeds of approximately $4,064,000 from that sale. The company entered an equity line purchase agreement (ELOC) with Lincoln Park providing committed purchases up to $10,000,000 (subject to Nasdaq and contractual limits) and generated net proceeds of $2.735M from ATM sales plus $69,000 under the ELOC in the six months. Despite these actions, management states it does not have sufficient capital resources to sustain operations through the next twelve months and notes substantial doubt about continuing as a going concern.

Aqua Metals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AQMS) has released its 2025 Definitive Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting scheduled for July 22, 2025 in Reno, Nevada. Stockholders of record as of June 17, 2025 will vote on six key proposals:

• Election of four directors (Stephen Cotton, Vincent L. DiVito, Eric Gangloff, Steven Henderson).
• Issuance of up to $10 million in common stock under a purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital, potentially exceeding 19.99% of current shares outstanding.
• Reverse stock split authorization鈥攁 Board-selected ratio between 1-for-2 and 1-for-10 aimed at maintaining Nasdaq compliance and improving marketability.
• Increase in shares reserved under the 2019 Stock Incentive Plan.
• Ratification of Forvis Mazars, LLP as independent auditor for FY 2025.
• Advisory vote on executive compensation.

The Board unanimously recommends 鈥淔OR鈥� all proposals. If approved, the Lincoln Park facility offers flexible, at-the-market financing, while the reverse split would boost per-share price but also expand the pool of authorized but unissued shares, heightening future dilution potential. Failure to pass the reverse split risks Nasdaq delisting because AQMS previously effected a split within 12 months and currently trades below $1. The proxy also outlines refreshed corporate governance policies, committee compositions, and a claw-back policy adopted in Nov 2023.
