ASP Isotopes Inc. 8-K

What Happened
ASP Isotopes Inc. (ASPI) filed an 8‑K (Item 5.02) on January 12, 2026 reporting that, in connection with the closing of its acquisition of Renergen Limited on January 6, 2026, Stefano Marani (former Renergen CEO) was appointed President, Electronics and Space of ASPI and Nick Mitchell (former Renergen COO) was appointed Co‑Chief Operating Officer. The appointments were announced on January 7, 2026. The company expects to enter employment agreements with Mr. Marani and Mr. Mitchell with base salaries and bonus targets described below and will file an amendment once final terms are executed.

Key Details

• Closing date of acquisition: January 6, 2026; announcement date: January 7, 2026; 8‑K filed January 12, 2026.
• Stefano Marani (age 48): appointed President, Electronics and Space; former Renergen CEO since Nov 2014; background includes Deutsche Bank and Morgan Stanley; holds BSc degrees from University of Witwatersrand. Expected base salary: $550,000/year; target discretionary bonus: 50% of base.

• Annual bonuses will be paid in a mix of cash and common stock as determined by ASPI’s compensation committee. Final employment agreements not yet filed — company will amend the 8‑K to provide any additional required details.

Why It Matters
These appointments integrate Renergen’s senior management into ASPI’s leadership, signaling ASPI’s move to operationalize and manage the acquired assets (notably the Virginia Gas Project and related helium/natural gas operations). For investors, material points are the expected executive compensation commitments (salaries and equity/cash bonus structure) and the likely operational continuity from experienced personnel. The company’s note that formal agreements are pending means final compensation and other employment terms could change and will be disclosed in an amendment.
