Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On June 14, 2018, SmartHeat Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into the Sixth Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit and Security Agreement dated July 27, 2012, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”), between the Company and Northtech Holdings Inc., a British Virgin Islands business corporation (“Northtech”).

In October of 2017, The Company entered into negotiations with Northtech in order to restructure the terms of the Credit Agreement. On October 31, 2017 the Credit Line was not extended, and the parties continued negotiations.  The parties have agreed that Northtech will convert all outstanding interest and principal due under the Credit Agreement into the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $.065 per share, which represents a premium of $0649 to the thirty-day average closing price of the Company's common stock of $.0001 per share.  In addition, the parties agreed to reduce the maximum credit line under the Credit Agreement to $1,000,000 and extended the maturity date to December 31, 2018. Further conversion of any outstanding principal and interest under the Credit Agreement will be based on conversion price subject to a minimum of $.065 per share and a maximum of $.50 per share.

As a result of the entering into the Amendment, the Company will issue to Northtech 71,283,000 restricted shares of its common stock which will result in Northtech and Mr. Jimin Zhang, sole stockholder and director of Northtech, holding approximately 95% of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company after giving effect to the transaction. Upon the issuance of the common stock to Northtech, the interest and principal due to Northtech will be reduced to zero, subject to additional disbursements thereunder.

The Amendment is required to receive the approval of a majority of shareholders of the Company in a vote to be held at the next meeting of the stockholders. In the event approval is not received, it will be considered an event of default under the Credit Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.21 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
