EQTEC plc is holding an extraordinary general meeting on February 12, 2026, to seek shareholder approval for an increase in its authorised share capital by €1,500,000 to €226,500,000, which involves creating an additional 15,000,000,000 ordinary shares, and to renew share allotment and pre-emption disapplication authorities up to a nominal value of €1,100,000. Additionally, shareholders will vote on changing the company's name to Forgent plc to reflect an expanded strategy focused on a vertically integrated, capital-light approach into complementary assets central to global electrification, including critical and precious metals, alongside its core syngas technology. The company has also extended the maturity date of a £0.7 million convertible loan to February 28, 2026, and is in advanced discussions with lenders for a comprehensive debt restructuring to improve liquidity and deleverage the balance sheet.
