Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 4, 2024, Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with FirstFire Global Opportunities Fund, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Buyer”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Buyer a convertible promissory note of the Company in the principal amount of $280,500 (the “Note”) for a purchase price of $255,000 (the “Purchase Price”) plus an original issue discount in the amount of $25,500. The Note provides for interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The principal amount of the Note and all interest accrued shall be repaid in 11 monthly instalments, each in the amount of $28,050, with the first payment due April 4, 2024.

As a condition to the sale of the Note, the Company has issued to the Buyer 20,000 shares of Common Stock as commitment shares. On the closing date, the Buyer shall further withhold from the Purchase Price (i) a non-accountable sum of $6,000 to cover the Buyer’s legal fees in connection with this transaction and (ii) a sum of $5,562.50 to cover the Company’s fees owed to Revere Securities LLC, a registered broker-dealer, in connection with this transaction.

All or any part of the outstanding and unpaid amount under the Note may be converted at any time following an event of default (the “Event of Default”) into common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), at the conversion price of $1.60 per share, subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99% of the Buyer and its affiliates. Events of Default include failure to pay principal or interest, bankruptcy of the Company, delisting of the Common Stocks, and other events as set forth in the Note.

The Company shall use the proceeds from this transaction first for the repayment in full of that certain promissory note in the original principal amount of $143,750 issued by the Company to the Buyer on January 3, 2024, and second for business development, and not for any other purpose, including (i) the repayment of any indebtedness owed to officers, directors or employees of the Company or their affiliates, (ii) the repayment of any debt issued in corporate finance transactions, or (iii) any loan to or investment in any other corporation, partnership, enterprise or other person (except in connection with the Company’s currently existing operations).

The Company sold the securities referenced in this Item 1.01 in reliance upon an exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder.
