Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On January 21, 2026, Mr. Stephen J. Jones, a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of 374Water Inc. (the “Company”), notified the Board of his decision to resign from the Board. Mr. Jones’ decision to resign was due to his desire to focus more attention on his role as Interim Chief Executive Officer and President (the “Interim CEO Role”) of the Company, and the related strategic activities. In addition, Mr. Jones is involved in two other public company boards of directors and the Board role at the Company combined with the Interim CEO Role did not leave him sufficient time to fully undertake all his various obligations. Mr. Jones’ resignation was not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices.
