US Material Events SEC 8-K Filings — October 13, 2026

Material Events Monitor

By Gunpowder Editorial ·

50 high priority 50 total filings analysed

Executive Summary

The 50-filing Material Events Monitor for 2026-10-13 is dominated by capital-structure stress and governance churn among micro- and small-caps: AMBP's automatic 15% principal step-up and dilution tied to an unachieved uplist, Co-Diagnostics' restrictive senior secured factor-rate loan with ATM sweep, Hyperscale Data's ATM sales of 121.8M shares at about $0.41, Sino Green Land and Mitesco debt-to-equity and bridge-note maneuvers, and ADC Therapeutics' $86.6M PIPE and debt restructuring.

Large-cap M&A is active, led by STERIS's $2.1B Xodus Medical acquisition, IonQ's up-to-$1.3B all-stock Elisity deal, SSR Mining's C$6.75 Roxmore cash bid, Select Water's $800M notes offering to fund Pilot Water, and the Kenvue/Kimberly-Clark consent solicitation stripping covenants from $7.75B of notes. Going-concern and distress signals are concentrated in PREM (lease defaults, CEO exit, RIF), Getty Images (prepackaged Chapter 11 with equity cancellation), Dot Ai (Nasdaq equity shortfall and majority dilution to BladeRanger), and EON Resources (FY2025 DD&A restatement reducing the loss from $10.1M to about $7.5M). Governance transitions are frequent, including Bausch + Lomb's interim CEO, Mueller Water's CFO handoff, Nuvve's audit and compensation chair exits, and Xponential's poison pill amid a strategic review. Quantitative period-over-period comparisons are sparse in the supplied enriched fields, so most cross-company trend reads are qualitative and should be confirmed against source filings.

    AMBP (automatic 15% principal step-up), CODX (factor-rate senior secured loan with ATM sweep), GPUS (121.8M shares sold at about $0.41), SGLA (debt-to-equity at $0.50) and MITI (OID bridge note at 10% with 12-month maturity) show dilution and restructuring as the dominant financing mode across the stream

Filing Analyses (50)
AMERICAN BATTERY MATERIALS, INC. 8-K negative materiality 7/10

13-10-2026

American Battery Materials (BLTH) amended outstanding promissory and convertible notes, extending maturity to November 30, 2026. If the company does not complete an uplist to NYSE American by that date, principal will automatically increase 15% from June 30, 2026 balances (an increase of $1,489,217) and the company must arrange issuance of 779,901 Commitment Shares, which includes 612,476 shares previously agreed under a prior extension. The filing signals continued financing strain and dilution risk tied to an uplisting that remains unachieved.

  • · Commitment Shares would be issued in a private placement under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D, meaning they are unregistered and carry resale restrictions
  • · The 779,901 Commitment Shares figure is cumulative, so the incremental new issuance beyond the prior extension is 167,425 shares (779,901 less 612,476)
  • · The principal increase and share issuance are both automatic and require no further action by either party, so they trigger upon the November 30, 2026 deadline absent an uplist
Medalist Diversified REIT, Inc. 8-K neutral materiality 5/10

13-10-2026

Medalist Diversified REIT, Inc. (MDRR) disclosed a Non-Recourse Carveout Guaranty dated October 9, 2026, under which Spandrel Sponsors Fund II, LP and Medalist Diversified Holdings, L.P. jointly and severally guarantee carveout obligations for a $13,800,000 loan from GLP 2505 LLC to A.Mira SAV Property, LLC. The guaranty is a condition precedent to the loan and is triggered by specified events such as bankruptcy filings, unauthorized transfers, or single-purpose-entity failures, while standard full-recourse liability is limited to fraud, willful misconduct, environmental breaches, waste, misapplication of insurance proceeds, and similar carveouts. The filing does not include quantitative performance metrics, so no period-over-period comparison is available.

  • · Guarantors are jointly and severally liable for Guaranteed Obligations, including full loan obligations upon a Specified Event, and indemnify Lender for enumerated carveout losses
  • · Specified Events include voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy filings, unconsented subordinate financing or property transfers, manager changes and ownership transfers without consent, and frustrating lender remedies
  • · Guaranty is irrevocable, absolute, continuing, and not a guaranty of collection; Lender need not first pursue the Borrower or collateral
  • · Guarantor insolvency-related triggers, zoning or tax-lot changes, and failure to pay insurance premiums and taxes can create recourse exposure
  • · Guarantor bracketed Delaware designation for Medalist Diversified Holdings, L.P. appears unfinalized in the filing text
Bridgecrest Lending Auto Securitization Trust 2026-4 8-K neutral materiality 4/10

13-10-2026

Bridgecrest Auto Funding LLC and Bridgecrest Acceptance Corporation entered into an Underwriting Agreement dated October 8, 2026 with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC for the public sale of six classes of auto loan asset-backed notes (Classes A-1 through D, registered on Form SF-3) issued by Bridgecrest Lending Auto Securitization Trust 2026-4, with a Class E 8.38% note placed privately and not registered; closing is anticipated October 22, 2026. The filing also sets out the transaction's ancillary agreements (purchase, sale and servicing, indenture, administration, asset representations review) and files the related certification and substantially final transaction documents. The filing is primarily a structural disclosure and contains no reported financial results, performance data, or negative developments.

  • · Six classes of notes (A-1 through D) are publicly registered under Form SF-3 (File No. 333-297422); the Class E notes are not registered and are privately placed
  • · Underlying collateral consists of motor vehicle retail installment sales contracts for new and used automobiles, light-duty trucks, SUVs and vans
  • · Trust was established December 2, 2025 and amended and restated as of the Closing Date; Wilmington Trust serves as owner trustee and grantor trust trustee
  • · Asset representations review is performed by Clayton Fixed Income Services LLC after satisfaction of certain conditions
  • · Certification by the CEO filed as Exhibit 36.1 under Item 601(b)(36) of Regulation S-K; substantially final transaction documents filed under Item 1100(f) of Regulation AB
  • · Exhibit numbers 1.1, 4.1, 10.1–10.7 and 36.1 document the underwriting agreement, indenture, transfer and servicing agreements, trust agreements and certification
Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. 8-K neutral materiality 5/10

13-10-2026

Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. filed a form of Note Purchase Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) under which the Company would issue a Promissory Note to a purchaser in exchange for shares of its Series D Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, valued at 100% of the note's principal amount. The principal amount is left blank in the form, so no transaction size can be determined from this filing. Closing is conditioned on Nasdaq stockholder approval for issuances exceeding 19.99% of outstanding Common Stock and on effectiveness of a resale registration statement; the agreement may be terminated if closing has not occurred by February 1, 2027.

  • · Closing must occur no later than the fifth Business Day after all closing conditions are satisfied
  • · Outside termination date for the agreement is 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on February 1, 2027
  • · Payment is made in Series D Preferred shares, with the share count set by dividing the Purchase Price by the per-share liquidation preference plus accrued dividends
  • · Resale registration statement covers Amortization Shares issuable under the Notes
  • · Agreement is governed by New York law, with disputes heard in New York state or federal courts in Manhattan
  • · Exhibit is a form only; the purchaser identity, principal amount and dates are blank, so this filing does not disclose an executed transaction
Starco Brands, Inc. 8-K neutral materiality 5/10

13-10-2026

Starco Brands, Inc. (STCB) and its subsidiaries, as Borrowers, entered into an Omnibus First Amendment to its July 15, 2026 Loan Agreement with Pasadena Private Lending Inc., amending the Accordion Term Note, Term Loan Note, and Line of Credit Note to set the Applicable Margin at 4.25% per annum from the First Amendment Effective Date through maturity. The amendment is dated as of September 29, 2026 (executed October 7, 2026) and was disclosed in an 8-K filed October 13, 2026 under Items 1.01 and 2.03. Filing does not disclose a rate before the amendment, so the change in cost of borrowing cannot be quantified from the document.

  • · Original Loan Agreement dated July 15, 2026 between Borrowers and Pasadena Private Lending Inc.
  • · First Amendment Effective Date is September 29, 2026, subject to conditions precedent including no Default or Event of Default
  • · Amendment governed by California law
  • · Each Borrower and Guarantor provided a limited release of known claims against the Lender, excluding post-amendment claims, fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, and Section 1542 rights

13-10-2026

MillerKnoll shareholders approved the 2026 Long-Term Incentive Plan at the October 12, 2026 annual meeting, authorizing up to 23,964,945 shares for equity awards to non-employee directors and employees, including named executive officers. Shareholders also re-elected directors Jeanne K. Gang, Michael R. Smith and Claire F. Spofford, ratified KPMG LLP as auditor for fiscal 2027, and approved executive compensation on an advisory basis, though the incentive plan drew notably higher opposition than the other proposals.

  • · The 2026 Long-Term Incentive Plan replaces the Long-Term Incentive Plan approved by shareholders in 2025
  • · The Plan permits stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and RSUs, performance stock units, and other stock-based awards
  • · The Plan received roughly 8.65 million against votes, about 14.5% of votes cast on it (excluding broker non-votes), versus under 3% against for the say-on-pay and auditor proposals
  • · Director Michael R. Smith received about 1.77 million withheld votes, the highest withhold count among the three nominees
  • · The proxy statement containing the Plan was filed with the SEC on August 28, 2026
STERIS plc 8-K mixed materiality 8/10

13-10-2026

STERIS plc, through its wholly owned subsidiary STERIS Corporation, entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement on October 11, 2026 to acquire Xodus Medical, Inc., a Pennsylvania-based specialty surgical products business, for $2.1 billion in cash at closing plus up to $150 million in earnout consideration tied to calendar 2028 performance. The deal is expected to be financed primarily with debt, supported by a $2.0 billion senior unsecured bridge facility committed by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, and is anticipated to close by December 31, 2026, subject to regulatory approvals.

  • · Purchase Agreement includes customary confidentiality, non-solicitation and non-compete obligations on the Sellers

  • · Filing contains no reported period-over-period financial results; the disclosure is focused on the deal terms
Premier Air Charter Holdings Inc. 8-K negative materiality 8/10

13-10-2026

Premier Air Charter Holdings (PREM) terminated two Cessna Citation CJ3 aircraft leases on October 1, 2026 after failing to cure defaults noticed on September 23, 2026, and the lessors are asserting approximately $514,557 due, including an accelerated principal balance. The company also committed to a reduction in force of five of ten CJ-rated pilots (workforce 42 to 37, about 12%), and its Chairman Vincent Monteparte resigned, with Kyle McCollum appointed director and Chairman. The filing describes an unresolved liquidity position with a going-concern risk and no assurance that discussions with the lessors will produce an agreement.

  • · Lessors' notices of default were delivered September 23, 2026 with a five business day cure period; the company did not cure within that period
  • · Lessors reserve rights to declare the entire remaining principal balance plus accrued interest immediately due, and the company says lease termination does not relieve its payment obligations
  • · The CJ3 aircraft were leased month-to-month and no long-lived assets are associated with them, so the company does not expect material impairment charges
  • · The company states it expects no material pre-tax charges from the reduction in force, though all estimates are preliminary
  • · The CJ3 lease obligations are not guaranteed by the parent and are not cross-defaulted to other aircraft leases or indebtedness, limiting contagion risk
  • · Mr. Monteparte received no severance and his resignation was not due to any disagreement with the company
  • · Mr. McCollum, age 43, is a licensed CPA, formerly CFO of Dalrada Financial Corporation (resigned October 31, 2025), and currently provides CFO advisory services to the company under a consulting arrangement, which raises an independence question for the Chairman role
  • · The company's going-concern status and liquidity are flagged as forward-looking risk factors in the filing
CID Holdco, Inc. 8-K mixed materiality 9/10

13-10-2026

CID HoldCo, Inc. (doing business as Dot Ai, Nasdaq: DAIC) completed the acquisition of Envoy Technologies, Inc. from BladeRanger Ltd. in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $65 million at a $6.00 per share reference price. The deal adds an established, revenue-generating EV carsharing business, but the filing states the company is seeking to satisfy Nasdaq's $2.5 million stockholders' equity requirement, which remains subject to Nasdaq Hearings Panel confirmation. Following the planned conversions of the Series C Preferred Stock and Envoy's $12.5 million convertible note, BladeRanger is expected to hold a majority of Dot Ai's common stock on an as-converted basis, creating significant dilution and change-of-control implications for existing stockholders.

  • · Transaction consideration was all-stock: Dot Ai common stock and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock at a $6.00 reference price.
  • · Series C Preferred conversion requires Dot Ai stockholder approval to the extent required by Nasdaq rules; parties agreed to use reasonable best efforts to obtain approval by January 31, 2027, but approval was not a closing condition.
  • · Envoy's $12.5M convertible note converts into Dot Ai common stock only upon stockholder approval and effectiveness of a resale registration statement, subject to certain exceptions.
  • · Senior secured debt was settled and new working-capital financing completed in September 2026, preceding the closing.
  • · The Company will submit evidence of Nasdaq compliance to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel; continued listing remains subject to the Panel's confirmation.
  • · Transaction was approved by a Special Committee of independent directors and the Board of Directors.
  • · Filing discloses a planned proxy statement with the SEC; record date to be set by the Board before mailing.
LogicMark, Inc. 8-K neutral materiality 7/10

13-10-2026

LogicMark, Inc. filed an 8-K on 2026-10-13 (AccNo 0001213900-26-109112) reporting completion of an acquisition or disposition of assets (Item 2.01), a material modification to security holder rights (Item 3.03), a change in control of the registrant (Item 5.01), director/officer departures or compensatory arrangements (Item 5.02), and bylaw/articles amendments (Item 5.03). The filing text provided is limited to item headers; no deal terms, counterparties, consideration, or financial figures are disclosed in the supplied summary. Sentiment cannot be assessed beyond the event categories themselves.

  • · Filing is an 8-K of approximately 6 MB containing six items: 2.01, 3.03, 5.01, 5.02, 5.03, 9.01
  • · Item 5.01 indicates a change in control, a more significant signal than a standard acquisition completion
Porch Group, Inc. 8-K positive materiality 7/10

13-10-2026

Porch Group and its Reciprocal affiliate agreed to acquire Allied Trust's insurance carrier and managing general agency, expanding Porch's Insurance Services business into Louisiana. The deal is expected to add approximately $200 million of Reciprocal Written Premium and $25 million of Adjusted EBITDA (Excluding Reciprocal) in the first full year after closing, with an expected close in Q1 2027. The company also plans to file an at-the-market equity offering program that would allow sales of PRCH shares, and the release carries forward-looking caveats including regulatory approval risk from the Texas Department of Insurance.

  • · Allied Trust operates in Louisiana, Texas, South Carolina and North Carolina; Louisiana would be a new state for the Reciprocal.
  • · Allied Trust's carrier purchase price (cash base plus deferred) is approximately statutory surplus neutral for the Reciprocal.
  • · Management expects formal 2027 guidance in Q1 2027 following regulatory approval and closing.
  • · Management's 2027 combined targets are internal estimates and are not pro forma financial information.
  • · Adjusted EBITDA (Excluding Reciprocal) is a non-GAAP measure with no GAAP reconciliation provided.
  • · The ATM Program would let the Reciprocal sell existing PRCH holdings over time to add growth capital to statutory surplus.
SSR MINING INC. 8-K positive materiality 8/10

13-10-2026

SSR Mining has entered into a definitive, court-approved plan of arrangement to acquire all outstanding shares of Roxmore Resources Inc. for C$6.75 per share in cash, with an estimated fully-diluted equity value of approximately $464 million and enterprise value of $392 million, funded from existing cash. The transaction adds Roxmore's Converse Gold Project, a multi-million ounce heap-leachable gold resource six kilometers from SSR's Marigold Complex in Nevada, which management envisions developing at roughly 150,000-170,000 ounces annually over a 10+ year mine life starting around 2033.
