Item 1.01.    Material Contracts.

 

On Friday, February 22, 2008, Liquidmetal Coatings, LLC (“LMC”) completed a transaction under which it issued and sold $2.5 million in preferred membership units to two existing holders of LMC common membership units.  LMC is a majority owned subsidiary of Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), and the preferred membership units were sold to two minority members of LMC.  Immediately following the sale of the preferred membership units, the subscription proceeds (after a 1% transaction fee) were distributed to LMC’s common unit members, and as a result of such distribution, the Company received approximately $1.7 million in the distribution.  The preferred units issued by LMC have an accruing priority return of 14% per year and are redeemable by the preferred holders on the fourth anniversary of the issue date, and if LMC fails to redeem the preferred units on or before the second anniversary of the issue date, the preferred units will receive an additional distribution equal to 200 common membership units (equal to 2% of the currently outstanding common units) per quarter until the preferred units are redeemed in full.

 

Item 2.03.    Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation.

 

The information included in Item 1.01 of this Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03 to the extent that such information would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 2.03 of Form 8-K.
