Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On December 12, 2016, Cemtrex Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its intention to conduct a subscription rights offering and certain important dates for the offering. The rights offering will be made pursuant to the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-1 (Reg. No. 333-213369) on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Neither this Current Report on Form 8-K nor such press release constitutes an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of, these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. Any proposed offering referenced herein will be made only by means of a prospectus.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information contained in Exhibit 99.1 furnished as an exhibit hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is not subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing or document.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits

(d) Exhibits

Certain statements contained in this Form 8-K, including all statements other than statements of historical fact, may constitute “forward-looking statements.” In addition to the uncertainty of all forward-looking information, there are specific risks identified in the above-referenced registration statement on Form S-1 that the Company faces that could cause actual results to be materially different from those that may be set forth in forward-looking statements made by the Company. There also may be additional risks that the Company does not presently know or that it currently believes are immaterial that could also impair its business and results of operations. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their dates. Except as required by federal securities law, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
