The discussion set forth in Item 8.01 is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On May 7, 2018, we (BioLargo, Inc., the “Company”) issued 15,747,482 shares of our common stock in satisfaction of $4,133,738 of convertible promissory notes issued in our “unit” offerings at varying conversion prices, maturing on the following dates:

Convertible notes, mature June 1, 2018 |
$4,468,847 |
($3,154,467) |
$1,314,380 |
|
Convertible notes, mature June 17, 2019 |
$283,571 |
($283,571) |

|
Convertible notes, mature December 31, 2019 |
$292,000 |
($217,000) |
$75,000 |
|
Convertible notes, mature June 20, 2020 |
$603,700 |
($478,700) |
$125,000 |
These conversions were voluntary on the part of the noteholders and prior to the various maturity dates on notes that were issued in prior “unit” offerings conducted by the Company (2015 Unit Offering, Winter 2016 Unit Offering, and Summer 2017 Unit Offering). We offered these noteholders incentives to convert their notes early. Noteholders with conversion prices of $0.25 and $0.30 were offered incentive shares equal to one and one-half times the number of shares issuable for the payment of interest that would accrue from the last interest payment date of March 20, 2018, through the maturity of the note, at a fixed price of $0.25 per share (for example, a note that would have yielded $1,000 in interest, would receive 1,000 times 1.5 divided by 0.25 equals 6,000 incentive shares). We offered holders of notes with conversion prices higher than $0.30 the ability to reduce their conversion price to $0.30 by paying additional funds equal to six or twenty percent of their original investment (6% for notes with original conversion prices of $0.35, and 20% for notes with original conversion prices of $0.55 and $0.57). The additional funds did not increase the amount of the note payable, nor did the reduced conversion price affect the number of shares purchasable under the warrant issued with their “unit” investment. Holders of 38 notes elected to pay an aggregate $261,781 to reduce the conversion prices of their notes to $0.30.
Of the 15,747,482 shares issued, 10,649,574 shares were registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form S-1, filed June 7, 2017, and effective June 15, 2017. The remaining shares have not been registered with the SEC.
With respect to the $1,314,380 of notes maturing June 1, 2018, we may, in our sole discretion, convert the outstanding principal and interest of those notes on the June 1, 2018 maturity date. The Company intends to exercise its discretion and convert the principal amount of those notes into 3,211,004 shares of common stock. Additional shares will be due for interest that has accrued since March 20, 2018.
This current report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any shares of Common Stock, nor shall there be any sale of shares of Common Stock in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.
