INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT
Entry into Exchange Agreements
On May 5, 2026, Blue Gold Limited (the “Company”) entered into two exchange agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) with Kaela Ritchie (the “Lender”), pursuant to which the Company exchanged certain outstanding indebtedness owed to the Lender under two facility agreements for newly issued Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) of the Company.
Pursuant to the first exchange agreement (“Exchange Agreement A”), dated May 5, 2026, the Company exchanged the entirety of its outstanding indebtedness under that certain Facility Agreement, dated January 10, 2026, in the aggregate amount of $2,042,132 (reflecting all principal, plus all accrued and unpaid interest through the date of the Exchange Agreement), for 2,042,132 Class A Ordinary Shares.
Pursuant to the second exchange agreement (“Exchange Agreement B”), dated May 5, 2026, the Company exchanged the entirety of its outstanding indebtedness under that certain Facility Agreement dated March 26, 2026, in the aggregate amount of $778,617 (reflecting all principal, plus all accrued and unpaid interest through the date of the Exchange Agreement), for 778,617 Class A Ordinary Shares.
Each exchange was effected in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), with no commission or other remuneration paid in connection therewith. Pursuant to each Exchange Agreement, the Company has agreed to file, within sixty (60) days following May 5, 2026, a registration statement on Form F-1 (or another appropriate form) to register for resale the Class A Ordinary Shares issued in the exchanges, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable.
Entry into Facility Agreement
On May 5, 2026, concurrently with the execution of the Exchange Agreements, the Company entered into a Facility Agreement (the “New Facility Agreement”) with the Lender that provides for a drawdown loan facility of up to $4,000,000, subject to increase upon mutual agreement of the parties. The facility is available for drawdown by the Company for a period of six months with a maximum aggregate drawdown per week of $500,000. Interest will accrue at 10% per year on the drawn amounts. At any time and from time to time prior to maturity, the Lender has the right, but not the obligation, to deliver a mandatory conversion notice requiring the Company to convert all or any portion of the outstanding balance into Class A Ordinary Shares at a conversion price of $1.00 per share (subject to adjustment for any stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions that occur with respect to the Class A ordinary shares following May 5, 2026) (the “Conversion Shares”). The Company is obligated to prepare and file a registration statement with the SEC within sixty (60) calendar days following the date of a mandatory conversion notice to register the Conversion Shares, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable. At maturity, the Company shall repay the balance and interest, provided, that, the Company may repay the balance at any time prior to maturity without premium or penalty. The New Facility Agreement matures on May 5, 2027.
Dilutive Issuance Notice
On May 5, 2026, the Company delivered a notice of dilutive issuance to 3i, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Holder”), pertaining to certain outstanding senior convertible notes issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and the Holder, dated August 29, 2025, notifying the Holder that, in connection with the Company’s entry into the Facility Agreement, the conversion price of the senior convertible notes held by the Holder will be reduced pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions set forth in Section 7(c) of the senior convertible notes such that the conversion price applicable to the senior convertible notes will be reduced to mean the lower of (A) 93% of the lowest volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares during the three (3) trading days immediately preceding the date the conversion notice is delivered, but in no event lower than $0.50, and (B) $1.00, in each case as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and similar events.
The foregoing description of Exchange Agreement A, Exchange Agreement B and the New Facility Agreement are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such agreements, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, to this Report on Form 6-K.

B. The Lender and the Company desire to exchange (the “Exchange”) the Facility Note and the entire outstanding amount of the Indebtedness reflected in the Facility Note on the basis and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, for 2,042,132 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Exchange Shares”).

Immediately following the delivery of the Exchange Shares to the Lender, the Lender shall relinquish all rights, title and interest in the Indebtedness (including any claims the Lender may have against the Company related thereto) and assign the same to the Company, and the Indebtedness and Facility Note shall be deemed canceled and the Facility Note of no further force or effect. The Parties agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of each of the Company and the Lender set forth in Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement, respectively, the purpose of such representations and warranties is, among other things, to ensure that the Exchange qualifies as an exchange of securities under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. Within sixty (60) days following the Effective Date, the Company shall file a new registration statement on Form F-1, or another appropriate form, to register for resale the Exchange Shares, and use commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable.
2.0Representations of the Company. The Company hereby makes to the Lender the following representations and warranties as of the Effective Date:
2.01Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the Company, its board of directors or its stockholders in connection therewith. This Agreement has been duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies generally.
2.02No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the issuance of the Exchange Shares by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not: (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s memorandum and articles of incorporation, or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, result in the creation of any lien or encumbrance upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any subsidiary, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any material agreement, credit facility, debt or other material instrument (evidencing a Company or subsidiary debt or otherwise) or other material understanding to which the Company or any subsidiary is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company or any subsidiary thereof is bound or affected, or (iii) conflict with or result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Company or a subsidiary is subject, or by which any property or asset of the Company or a subsidiary is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the Company or its business or financial condition.
2.03Filings, Consents and Approvals. The Company is not required to obtain any approval, consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing, qualification or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local, foreign or other governmental authority or other person or entity in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement, including without limitation the issuance of the Exchange Shares.
2.04No Consideration Paid. No consideration, commission or other remuneration has been paid by the Lender to the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their agents or affiliates in connection with the Exchange.
2.05Section 3(a)(9). The Company has not, nor has any person acting on its behalf, directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would cause the Exchange and the issuance of the Exchange Shares pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings of securities by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act which would prevent the Company from delivering the Exchange Shares to the Lender pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. The Company has not taken any action that would cause the Exchange, issuance and delivery of the Exchange Shares to be integrated with other offerings to the effect that the delivery of the Exchange Shares to the Lender would be exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) thereof.
2
3.0Representations of the Lender. The Lender hereby makes to the Company the following representations and warranties as of the Effective Date:
3.01Reliance on Exemptions. The Lender understands that the Exchange Shares are being offered and exchanged in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Lender’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Lender set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Lender to acquire the Exchange Shares.
3.02No Governmental Review. The Lender understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Exchange Shares or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Exchange Shares nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Exchange Shares.
3.03Validity; Enforcement. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Lender and shall constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Lender enforceable against the Lender in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies generally.
3.04No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Lender of this Agreement, and the consummation by the Lender of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of the Lender or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Lender is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to the Lender, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Lender to perform Lender’s obligations hereunder.
3.05Investment Risk; Sophistication. The Lender is acquiring the Exchange Shares hereunder in the ordinary course of Lender’s business. The Lender has such knowledge, sophistication, and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluation of the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Exchange Shares, and has so evaluated the merits and risk of such investment. The Lender is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act.
3
3.06Ownership of Existing Securities.

This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts and by facsimile signature, delivery of PDF images of executed signature pages by email or otherwise, and each of such counterparts shall be deemed an original and all of such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
4.02Effect of Invalidity. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the Parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the Parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the Parties. The Parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

Each of the Company and the Lender consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address, as applicable, and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.

Each of the Company and the Lender hereby agree that the prevailing party in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable legal fees from the non-prevailing party.
