Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory
Arrangements of Certain Officers
On June 9, 2017, our Chief Commercial Officer, Stephen Cotton,
resigned from his employment with Aqua Metals, Inc. We expect
that Mr. Cotton will provide consulting services to the Company
through at least the end of 2017. Aqua Metals established key
strategic relationships during Mr. Cottons tenure and is now
entering the next phase of development, focusing on physical
deployment through expansion and addition of its own facilities
and execution of the Johnson Controls licensing agreement. As of
the date of this report, we do not intend to appoint a new Chief
Commercial Officer.
About AQUA METALS, INC. (NASDAQ:AQMS)
Aqua Metals, Inc. is engaged in the business of recycling lead through a process that the Company developed and named AquaRefining. AquaRefining process will provide for the recycling of lead acid batteries (LABs) and the production of lead. AquaRefining is a water-based ambient temperature process. The modular nature of AquaRefining makes it possible to start LAB recycling at a smaller scale than is possible with smelters. Its AquaRefining process begins with the crushing of used LABs and the separation of the metallic lead, active material (lead compounds), sulfuric acid and plastic for recycling. The active material is dissolved in its solvent. The primary lead is then stripped from the solvent using its automated process allowing the solvent to be reused continuously and indefinitely. Its AquaRefining process generates over three outputs, such as lead; cleaned plastic chips, recovered from battery casings, and sulfuric acid. The Company has not generated revenues.
