Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

350 Green Acquisition
 
Equity Exchange

On April 22, 2013 (the “Closing Date”), Car Charging Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an addendum (the “Addendum”) to an equity exchange agreement, dated March 8, 2013 (the “Exchange Agreement ”), by and among the Company, 350 Holdings, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“CCGI Sub”), 350 Green, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“350 Green”), Mariana Gerzanych (“Gerzanych”), and Timothy Mason (“Mason” and, together with Gerzanych, the “350 Members”) for the acquisition of 350 Green.

350 Green operates a scalable network of plug-in electric vehicle (“EV”) charging stations across the U.S.  It distributes its stations by partnering with retail hosts at select, high-traffic shopping centers and other places where EV drivers live and work, to create an expansive and convenient network of EV charging locations.

Pursuant to the Addendum, the Company (through CCGI Sub) acquired all the membership interests of 350 Green from the 350 Members in exchange for $1,250,000 of which: (a) $750,000 was paid in the form of unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 (such shares, the “Exchange Shares”), and (b) $500,000 was paid in the form of a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) payable to the 350 Members (the “Equity Exchange”).  The Promissory Note does not bear interest and is payable in the following installments: (i) a payment of $10,000 on the Closing Date, (ii) an additional $10,000 payment on the thirty (30) day anniversary of the Closing Date, and (iii) monthly installments in the amount of $20,000 thereafter until paid in full.

Right of First Refusal Agreement

In connection with the Equity Exchange, the Company entered into a right of first refusal agreement (the “ROFR Agreement”) between the Company and the 350 Members pursuant to which the Company obtained a right of first refusal to participate in any and all EV charging and infrastructure related business opportunities presented to the 350 Members for one (1) year following the Closing Date.  If the Company participates in business opportunities presented to it by the 350 Members pursuant to the ROFR Agreement that results in the Company installing EV charging stations (each an “EV Station”), the Company shall pay the 350 Members $250 for the first station, $125 for each additional EV Station, and 1% of any revenues generated by each EV Station for five (5) years from date of installation.  The 350 Members are not currently, and will not be, affiliated with, nor employees of, the Company in any way in the future.

The foregoing description of the terms of the Exchange Agreement, Addendum, Promissory Note, and ROFR Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the provisions of such agreements filed as exhibits 2.1, 2.2, 10.1, and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”).
 
Approval and Release from City of Chicago

On October 19, 2010, 350 Green was awarded a grant from the City of Chicago to install and maintain an EV charging network throughout the city pursuant to a grant agreement (the “Grant”).  On or about June 14, 2012, the City of Chicago delivered a Notice of Default to 350 Green citing, among other deficiencies, that all work had stopped on the Grant project because of 350 Green’s failure to pay its subcontractors and that 350 Green had made misrepresentations with regard to such payments and financial obligations.  On February 5, 2013, the Company and the City of Chicago accepted a Preliminary Terms of Approval of Transfer of Grant Agreement (the “Terms of Approval”) that set forth (i) that the Company will be allowed to receive assignment of the Grant if it, among other criteria, settles all of the outstanding claims by the unpaid subcontractors and finishes the Grant project pursuant to a revised scope and budget and (ii) that the City of Chicago will release 350 Green and the Company from any and all liability with respect to misrepresentations regarding payments and financial obligations made by 350 Green prior to the Closing Date. The individual members of 350 Green will not receive a release as part of this settlement with the City of Chicago.

On March 1, 2013, the City of Chicago delivered approval of the Equity Exchange (the “Chicago Approval”).

The foregoing description of the terms of the Terms of Approval and the Chicago Approval do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the provisions of such agreements filed as exhibits 10.3 and 10.4 to this Report.
 
Item 2.01
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

The disclosure in Item 1.01 of this Report regarding the Addendum and Equity Exchange is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

On April 22, 2013, the Company acquired 350 Green, and 350 Green became a wholly-owned subsidiary of CCGI Sub.

Item 3.02
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
 
Reference is made to the disclosure set forth under Items 1.01 and 2.01 of this Report, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.
 
The Company issued the Exchange Shares in reliance upon the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).   The Company’s reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act was based upon the following factors: (a) the issuance of the securities was an isolated private transaction by us which did not involve a public offering; (b) there were only a limited number of offerees; (c) there were no subsequent or contemporaneous public offerings of the securities by  the Company; (d) the securities were not broken down into smaller denominations; and (e) the negotiations for the sale of the stock took place directly between the offeree and the Company.
   
Item 8.01
Other Events.

Litigation with 350 Green
 
On March 8, 2013, the Company, and its subsidiary CCGI Sub entered into the Exchange Agreement with 350 Green and the 350 Members (collectively “350”), wherein CCGI Sub would purchase the membership interests of 350 Green (the “Transaction”). The 350 Members subsequently refused to close the Transaction

As a result of the 350 Members’ refusal to close the Transaction, on April 9, 2013, the Company and CCGI Sub, filed a lawsuit against 350 Green, the 350 Members, and JNS Holdings Corporation (“JNS Holdings”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, entitled Car Charging Group, Inc., et al. v. 350 Green, LLC and JNS Holdings Corporation , Case No.: 13-cv-2389.  The Company and CCGI Sub filed an eight (8) count complaint, seeking, among other relief, the following: (i) damages based on counts of breach of contract and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; against 350; (ii) specific performance by 350 under the terms of the Exchange Agreement; (iii) a permanent injunction to prevent 350 from selling any assets to JNS Holdings; and, (iv) damages due to JNS Holdings’ tortious interference with the Company and 350 Holdings’ contractual relations with 350. The Company took the position that under Florida law, which governed the Exchange Agreement, 350 breached the terms of the Exchange Agreement by refusing to close, as Florida law holds that time is not of the essence unless expressly provided for in a contract.

An evidentiary hearing on the Company’s request to temporarily enjoin 350 Green from selling its Chicago assets to JNS Holdings was scheduled to take place on April 30, 2013.  However, on April 22, 2013, the Company, 350 Holdings and 350 settled the litigation via the execution of an Addendum to the Exchange Agreement as described in Item 1.01 of this Current Report, formally closing the Transaction as of April 22, 2013.  Consequently, upon notification to the Court that the matter had been settled as between the Company, CCGI Sub, 350 Green and the 350 Members, the litigation was dismissed by the Court on April 23, 2013, with the caveat on the Court docket that said dismissal was without prejudice and that the Company and 350 Holdings had the right to reopen same if the settlement was not consummated.

Notwithstanding the fact that JNS had been on direct actual notice of the Exchange Agreement between 350 Green, the Company and CCGI Sub, during the period between April 4, 2013 through April 17, 2013, JNS Holdings, or its subsidiary, negotiated with 350 Green to purchase certain 350 Green assets located in the City of Chicago, and executed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) intending to memorialize same. The APA did not purport to cover any assets of 350 Green other than those in the City of Chicago. As such, in conjunction with the agreed dismissal of the New York litigation, the Company and CCGI Sub, to avoid unnecessary litigation over issues regarding personal jurisdiction, filed a new action against JNS Holdings and JNS Power Corp. (collectively, “JNS”) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois entitled Car Charging Group, Inc., et al, v. JNS Holdings Corporation, et al , Case No. 13-cv-03124 (the “Illinois Lawsuit”).

In the Complaint in the pending Illinois Lawsuit, the Company and CCGI Sub alleged one count of tortious interference with contract and seek a declaratory judgment to have the Court declare the APA null and void.  It is the Company’s position that due to the pre-existing Exchange Agreement between the Company, CCGI Sub, and 350, of which JNS had actual notice, 350 Green was prohibited as a matter of law from executing the APA.  Further, JNS, despite having actual prior knowledge of the Exchange Agreement and the request for an injunction in the New York Lawsuit, still chose to expedite the purchase of the Chicago assets of 350 Green.  Therefore, it is the Company’s position that the APA is null and void and could never be binding on 350 Green. The Company is evaluating whether to amend it current complaint against JNS to seek additional damages arising out of JNS’s actions in Chicago.  While the Company believes that it will prevail in the Illinois Lawsuit, the possibility exists that the Company may be required to sell the Chicago assets and pay JNS’ costs and attorneys’ fees in accordance with the terms of the APA.  In such an instance, JNS would also be required to assume approximately $1.6 million of 350 Green’s liabilities.

PRELIMINARY TERMS OF APPROVAL FOR TRANSFER OF GRANT AGREEMENT TO CAR CHARGING GROUP, INC.
FEBRUARY 5, 2013


The City of Chicago (“City”) proposes the following terms for its approval of the transfer of all rights of 350Green, LLC (“350Green”) to Car Charging Group, Inc. (“CCG”), under the First Amended and Restated Grant Agreement between the City and 350Green (“Grant Agreement”).

A.             CCG Shall:

1.           Pay or settle all of 350Green’s contractors for work done under any outstanding invoice under the Grant Agreement.  Proof of such payment or settlement shall be made prior to the City transferring 350Green’s interests under the Grant Agreement. CCG shall not be entitled to reimbursement from the City for payments described in this paragraph up to the amount of $798,497.92 (constituting the amount that the City has paid 350Green under 350Green’s fraudulent misrepresentations that it had paid certain contractors, when it had not).

2.           Complete additional obligations under the Grant Agreement between the City of Chicago and 350Green, up to the total amount of money awarded by the City in the Grant, or $1,911,000.  This work must also be subject to a 50% cost match from CCG.

3.           Pay all lienholders and ensure that all liens on equipment are cleared.  Proof of such payment and lien clearance shall be made prior to the City transferring 350Green’s interests under the Grant Agreement.

4.           In satisfaction of its obligations contained in Paragraphs 1 and 3 of this section, CCG shall have the right to pay or settle all claims made by contractors and lienholders previously submitted to the City for reimbursement by 350Green (“Claims”) at less than face value.  Once proof of settlement of such outstanding Claims is provided to the City, CCG shall be entitled to apply for and receive the remaining funds available under the Grant Agreement in accordance with its terms.  In satisfaction of these obligations, in no event shall CCG be required to spend more than $798,497.92 in settlement of the Claims without the right to apply for and receive reimbursement for such overages under the Grant Agreement in accordance with its terms.  In the event that CCG settles Claims for less than face value and the total amount of payments to satisfy the Claims totals less than $798,497.92, then CCG shall either (i) reimburse the City the amount of the difference, or (ii) spend the amount of the difference on eligible expenses fulfilling its obligations under Section A(2) of this proposal without the right to receive reimbursement under the Grant Agreement.  If CCG elects to reimburse the City for the amount of the difference, then reimbursement by certified check shall be made prior to the City transferring 350Green’s interests under the Grant Agreement.

5.           Provide CDOT a revised scope and budget for the Grant Agreement (“Revised Scope”) prior to the transfer of 350Green’s interests under the Grant Agreement, reflecting CCG’s proposal to complete in-process station installations, install additional stations and operate and maintain the infrastructure and network. Include information about costs to users, the station network, promoting the stations and project timeline.  The Revised Scope shall include CCG’s obligation to maintain all stations – whether they were installed by 350Green or will be installed by CCG – for three years from the date of the transfer of the Grant Agreement. Transfer of the Grant Agreement is subject to the City’s approval of the terms of the Revised Scope.
 
 
 

 
 
6.           Provide proof of CCG’s capability to manage the project as described in the revised Grant Agreement at time of submission of the Revised Scope, as described in Paragraph 5.

7.           Provide proof of insurance coverage as required in Section 3.6 of the Grant Agreement.  Such proof must be submitted at least 7 days prior to the City transferring 350Green’s interests under the Grant Agreement.

8.           Provide an Economic Disclosure Statement and Affidavit, and a Familial Relations Disclosure Affidavit as required in section 9.13 of the Grant Agreement.  Such statements must be submitted at least 7 days prior to the City transferring 350Green’s interests under the Grant Agreement.

9.           Provide assurance that Timothy Mason and Mariana Gerzanych will not be involved in the management nor implementation of the Grant Agreement.  Such assurance shall be reflected in the Revised Scope, as described in Paragraph 4.

10.           Release the City from any and all liability arising out of the Grant Agreement that CCG or 350Green may assert up to the date of transfer of interests to CCG.
 
B.             In Exchange, the City Shall:

1.           Transfer all rights and interests of 350Green under the Grant Agreement to CCG, through written approval for a change in ownership or control as provided in Section 8.1(G) and 9.20 of the Grant Agreement.

2.           Amend the Grant Agreement to reflect the terms of the Revised Scope.

3.           Release 350Green and CCG from any and all liability with respect to payments made, financial obligations incurred for materials and/or labor, in furtherance of the Grant Agreement, or representations as to such payments or obligations, up to the date of the transfer of interests to CCG.  However, the City does not agree to absolve any personal liability of Timothy Mason or Mariana Gerzanych to the City under these provisions.

C.             Time and Contract Considerations:

1.           This proposed term sheet is for discussion and negotiation purposes only.  The agreement on these proposed terms of settlement does not commit the City to settle with CCG, or with any other entity; nor does it commit CCG to settle with the City.  Any final terms of transfer of the Grant Agreement are subject to approval by all appropriate individuals with execution authority at the City and CCG.

2.           Acceptance by CCG of the transfer of the Grant Agreement shall be subject to the consummation of an acquisition transaction with 350Green and the transfer of property access agreements for all relevant locations.

3.           The contract period of the Grant Agreement with CCG will extend to the end of 2015 for the purposes of station maintenance and reporting requirements, regardless of the date at which the grant funds are completely distributed.

Re:
 First Amended and Restated Grant Agreement Between the City of Chicago ("City") and 350Green, LLC ("350Green")
 
Dear Mr. Pierce:
 
You have notified the City's Department of Transportation (CDOT) of your client 350Green's intent to transfer the ownership of 350Green to Car Charging Group, Inc. ("CCG"). CDOT approves this change in ownership, and will not consider it an Event of Default under Sec. 8.1(G) of the Grant Agreement.
 
As you know, 350Green is in default of the Grant Agreement. (See Notice of Default of June 14, 2012). This approval in change of ownership does not cure or obviate 350Green's events of default under the Grant Agreement in any way. In order for CCG to acquire 350Green's interests under the Grant Agreement free from default, the City will need to amend the Agreement pursuant to Sec. 9.4(B).
 
 
Very trul yours,

CarCharging’s Completes Acquisition of 350Green
¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾
Electric Vehicle Charging Service Provider Continues to Consolidate Market and Acquires Third EV Charging Station Owner and Operator

May 2, 2013 - MIAMI BEACH, FL – Car Charging Group, Inc. (OTCQB: CCGI) (“CarCharging”), a nationwide provider of convenient electric vehicle (EV) charging services, announced the closing of its acquisition of 350Green LLC, an owner and operator of EV charging stations throughout the United States.  This is the third acquisition in 2013 for CarCharging as the company recently acquired Beam Charging and EVPass. With the acquisition of 350Green, CarCharging is now the owner of the largest independent public EV charging station network in the United States and the world.

CarCharging and 350Green operate EV charging stations at locations across the country. Both companies are partners with Simon Property Group, Inc., the largest real estate investment trust in the United States, and Walgreen’s, the nation’s largest drugstore chain. The acquisition of 350Green expands CarCharging’s partnerships with major companies, retailers, municipalities, and universities, including Intel, Whole Foods, Sears, Supervalu, City of Chicago, and the University of Chicago at Illinois.  This acquisition also further extends CarCharging’s penetration in California, Illinois, and Washington.

“After nearly a year of working diligently to acquire 350Green, we are pleased to announce that the acquisition is finally complete,” said Michael D. Farkas, CEO of CarCharging.  “We are confident that this is a step forward in strengthening the EV charging industry, and we will work as quickly as possible to consolidate operations and ensure that all of 350Green’s stations are working properly.”

350Green’s EV charging service locations offer Level 2 stations manufactured by AeroVironment, ChargePoint, and Sema Connect.  Additionally, many of 350Green’s locations include DC fast charging stations manufactured by Efacec.  DC fast chargers drastically reduce charging times for compatible electric cars.

Michael Bernstein of The Bernstein Law Firm represented CarCharging in the completion of the acquisition of 350Green.
