AmpliTech Group, Inc. 8-K

What Happened

• AmpliTech Group, Inc. (AMPG) filed an 8-K (reported July 8, 2026) announcing two actions taken July 7, 2026: it terminated its Equity Distribution Agreement dated March 21, 2025 with Maxim Group LLC, effective immediately, and its Board authorized a stock repurchase program to buy up to $10 million of common stock over the next 24 months.
• The repurchase program allows purchases via open market trades, privately negotiated transactions, block trades or other means consistent with federal securities laws (including Rule 10b-18), and the company may adopt a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan. The program is discretionary and may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time.

Key Details

• Equity Distribution Agreement with Maxim Group LLC (dated March 21, 2025) was terminated effective July 7, 2026.
• Board authorized repurchases of up to $10,000,000 of common stock over the next 24 months.
• Repurchases may be executed in the open market, through private or block trades, and may follow Rule 10b-18 or a Rule 10b5-1 plan.
• The program does not obligate the company to repurchase any specific number of shares and can be changed or halted without notice.

Why It Matters

• Terminating the equity distribution agreement removes an at-the-market (ATM) sales channel the company previously had with Maxim, which could affect how AmpliTech raises equity capital going forward.
• The $10M repurchase authorization gives the company a formal tool to reduce outstanding shares or support the market for its stock, but repurchases are discretionary and depend on cash, market conditions and legal limits.
• Investors should note this is a strategic capital-allocation decision (not a commitment to buy shares) and may influence dilution, share count and liquidity depending on how and whether the program is used.
