Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed in connection with the completion, on January 6, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), of the previously announced acquisition (the “Transaction”) contemplated by the firm intention letter agreement, dated May 20, 2025 (the “Agreement”), by and between ASP Isotopes Inc. (the “Company” or “ASP Isotopes”) and Renergen Limited, a public company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of South Africa focused on production of liquefied helium (LHe) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) (“Renergen”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, ASP Isotopes acquired all of the issued ordinary shares of Renergen (“Renergen Ordinary Shares”), in exchange for shares of ASP Isotopes common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Company Common Stock”), through the implementation of a scheme of arrangement (the “Scheme”) in accordance with Sections 114 and 115 of the South African Companies Act, No. 71 of 2008.
On the Closing Date, ASP Isotopes acquired all of the issued Renergen Ordinary Shares from Renergen shareholders in exchange for shares of Company Common Stock at an exchange ratio of 0.09196 shares of Company Common Stock for each Renergen Ordinary Share (the “Consideration Shares”) through the implementation of the Scheme, resulting in the issuance of an aggregate of 14,270,000 Consideration Shares. Any entitlements to fractions of shares of Company Common Stock that otherwise would be issuable pursuant to the Scheme were rounded to the nearest whole number of shares and a cash payment was made for any fractional shares resulting from such rounding. As a result of the Transaction, Renergen became a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of ASP Isotopes.
In connection with the Transaction, Renergen Ordinary Shares will be delisted from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (the “JSE”), the Australian Securities Exchange and A2X. The Company Common Stock continues to be listed on The Nasdaq Global Market and on the JSE.
In addition, on the Closing Date, Stefano Marani, the Chief Executive Officer of Renergen, has been appointed as the President, Electronics and Space, of the Company, and Nick Mitchell, the Chief Operating Officer of Renergen, has been appointed Co-Chief Operating Officer of the Company.
The foregoing description of the Agreement and the Transaction does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement and the Joint Firm Intention Announcement, dated May 20, 2025, announcing the execution of the Agreement and the Transaction, which are incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 2.1 and Exhibit 99.3, respectively, to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 20, 2025.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The information provided in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. The issuance of Consideration Shares described above was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on Rule 802 promulgated under the Securities Act. At the commencement of the Transaction, Renergen was a “foreign private issuer,” as that term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, and U.S. shareholders held less than 10% of the issued Renergen Ordinary Shares. U.S. holders of Renergen Ordinary Shares were permitted to participate in the Transaction on terms at least as favorable as those offered in any other jurisdiction. All informational documents provided to Renergen shareholders in connection with the Transaction were furnished, in English, to the SEC on Form CB by the first business day after publication or dissemination and were disseminated, in English, to U.S. shareholders on a comparable basis to that provided to shareholders in South Africa. Any information relating to the Transaction that Renergen or the Company has disseminated to stockholders located outside the U.S. has been disseminated in the U.S. in a manner reasonably calculated to inform U.S. holders of the offer. Finally, the legend required by Rule 802(b) under the Securities Act has been included as required in the informational documents regarding the Transaction disseminated to U.S. holders.
