Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Note Purchase Agreement and Note

On September 6, 2019, pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement between Plug Power Inc. (the “Company”) and HT Investments MA LLC, an accredited investor (the “Holder”), the Company issued to the Holder a senior convertible note with an aggregate principal amount of $40,000,000 (the “Note”).

The Note bears interest at a rate of 7.50% per annum from September 6, 2019 (payable quarterly in arrears on January 5, April 5, July 5 and October 5 of each year, beginning on October 5, 2019), and will mature on January 5, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”), unless earlier converted or repurchased in accordance with its terms.

The Note is convertible at the option of the Holder at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately prior to the Maturity Date for shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), subject to certain limitations and closed periods set forth in the Note. The Note has an initial conversion rate of 387.5969, which is subject to adjustment in some events. The initial conversion rate is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $2.58 per share of Common Stock.

The issuance of the Note has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder. There are no registration rights applicable to the Note. Accordingly, any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Note will be restricted and may only be sold in compliance with Rule 144 or in accordance with another exemption from registration.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the issuance of the Note for general corporate purposes and for the potential redemption of the Company’s outstanding Series E Preferred Stock.

The foregoing summary of the Note Purchase Agreement and the Note is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Note Purchase Agreement and the Note. Copies of the Note Purchase Agreement and the Note are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. The Note Purchase Agreement and Note are attached hereto as exhibits to provide investors and security holders with information regarding their terms. They are not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Note Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of the Note Purchase Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Note Purchase Agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.

This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offering would be unlawful.

On September 6, 2019, the Company entered into a Third Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of March 29, 2019, as amended (the “Loan Agreement”) with Generate Lending, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

The foregoing summary of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.3 and incorporated herein by reference.
