Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On September 9, 2022, LiqTech International, Inc. (the “Company”) and Alexander J. Buehler, agreed to certain amendments of Mr. Buehler’s Interim CEO Agreement. As previously announced, Fei Chen has begun her role as Chief Executive Officer of the Company starting on September 12, 2022. Mr. Buehler has stepped down as Interim CEO effective upon Ms. Chen’s assumption of the role, and therefore his Interim CEO Agreement was to terminate. The Company and Mr. Buehler have agreed, however, that Mr. Buehler should stay on full time for a short period to assist with the transition and therefore his Interim CEO Agreement will now terminate on September 30, 2022.

Additionally, Mr. Buehler, who continues to serve on the board of directors of the Company, has agreed to provide additional CEO transition services from October 1, 2022 through November 11, 2022. As compensation for such services, the Company will issue Mr. Buehler $47,753 of restricted stock units of the Company.

LiqTech to Participate in the 2022 Lake Street BIG6 Conference

Company files updated slide presentation including discussion on recent market activity

BALLERUP, Denmark, Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- LiqTech International, Inc. (NASDAQ: LIQT), a clean technology company that manufactures and markets highly specialized filtration products and systems, today announced that Fei Chen, recently appointed CEO, Alex Buehler, most recently interim CEO and current member of the board of directors, and Simon Stadil, CFO, will host investor meetings on September 14, 2022 as part of the Lake Street Capital Markets Best Ideas Growth Conference (BIG6), taking place at The Yale Club in New York City.

To arrange a meeting, please contact your Lake Street representative or Lytham Partners at liqt@lythampartners.com.

Slide Presentation

A copy of the slide presentation to be used by the Company at the Lake Street BIG6 Conference is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC. The slide presentation is also available on the Company's website at: https://liqtech.com/corporate/investor-relations/.

Recent Market Activity

Included in the slide presentation is a discussion of recent market activity that will have an impact on the Company's stated annual guidance for fiscal 2022.

Due to the worsening energy crisis in Europe, continued supply chain disruptions, and customer-imposed delays caused by macro-economic uncertainty, the Company believes that approximately $3 to $4 million in expected orders are at increased risk of slippage prior to the end of the year, which is exacerbated by the impact from the appreciation of the U.S. Dollar against the Euro.

The Company expects to provide further updates during its Q3 2022 Conference Call, which is normally scheduled to take place in mid-November 2022.
