Item 2.04               Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation.

 

Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) currently has outstanding $18,643,297 in aggregate principal amount of 8% Convertible Subordinated Notes due January 2010 (the “Notes”).  Under the terms of the Notes, as amended, the Company was required to make an aggregate payment equal to $582,603 on September 30, 2008, as a result of the commencement of monthly amortization payments equal to 1/32 of their original principal amount due under the Notes.  However, the Company did not have sufficient funds to make this payment, and, accordingly, an “Event of Default” occurred under the Notes as of October 4, 2008.  As a result of this Event of Default, the holders of the Notes are entitled to accelerate all principal and interest under the Notes.  The aggregate amount of outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest under the Notes as of October 4, 2008, was $19,081,407.  To date, holders of $2,264,244  in aggregate principal amount of Notes have delivered default notices to the Company accelerating the Notes.  The Company intends to respond to this situation by a combination of seeking to amend the terms of certain Notes held by persons indicating a willingness to do so and seeking to sell certain assets of the Company in order to fund payments under the Notes.  However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to sell sufficient assets or complete such amendments as may be necessary to bring the Company out of default.”
