On September 26, 2013, we entered into an agreement with Dr. Andrew Jolly, pursuant to which Dr. Jolly has agreed to serve as a director of our company.

Dr. Andrew Jolly – Director
 
Dr. Andrew Jolly, age 42, is a highly qualified and motivated technical consultant with a commercial orientation and over 10 years of experience in the area of renewable energy.
 
Dr. Jolly specializes in creating, developing and delivering concepts for generating biomass combined heat and power and biomass power-only projects. He focuses on the use of biomass, organic waste and hydrogen and has a comprehensive understanding of the regulatory and legislative factors that impact the technical and commercial specification and scale of projects.
 
Dr. Jolly has honed skills in project concept generation, feasibility assessment, planning issues, economic appraisal and financing, environmental impacts and making sense of current UK environmental legislation and regulation.
 
A key part of Dr. Jolly’s expertise is in the assessing, accreditation and maintenance of renewable energy technologies in respect of schemes such as the Renewables Obligation (RO), Feed in Tariffs (FiTs), Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) and Combined Heat & Power Quality Assurance (CHPQA). This aspect of renewable energy projects is crucial when the associated benefits of renewable energy generation often comprise two-thirds of the overall project income.
 
Dr. Jolly has led Equis Energy Limited’s biomass, biogas and EfW project development and consultancy since 2006 where he has provided expert advice and services on numerous renewable energy projects.
 
Dr. Jolly’s educational background consists of having obtained a PhD in Energy Studies research from Cardiff University, a Master of Philosophy in Energy Studies research from Cardiff University and a Bachelor of Engineering (Hons.) in Mechanical Engineering with Business Management from the University of Sussex.  Additionally, he is a Chartered Engineer with the Engineering Counsel of the United Kingdom.
 
Our company believes that Dr. Jolly’s educational background, and business and operational experience give him the qualifications and skills necessary to serve as a director of our company. Our board of directors now consists of Dr. Neil Carmichael, Jordan Starkman and Dr. Andrew Jolly.
 
There has been no transaction since the beginning of the registrant’s last two completed fiscal years, or any currently proposed transaction, in which our company was or is to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000 or one percent of the average of the smaller reporting company’s total assets, and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Dear Andrew
 
RE:   Proposed Non-Executive Directorship Of Pacific Green Technologies Inc. (“the Company”)
 
Further to our recent discussions, I have pleasure in making you a formal offer to become a non-executive director of the Company.
 
We would envisage your primary role to be the Company’s independent non-executive director with special emphasis on steering the Company through the UK’s regulatory environment in respect of the Company’s project at Sutton Bridge, Lincolnshire. That aside, we would envisage your time commitment would be to attend quarterly board meetings and review quarterly board packs around the Company’s regulatory reporting requirements.
 
In terms of remuneration, we propose the following:
 
a non-executive director fee of GBP£2,000 per calendar month for which we would anticipate you devoting 20 hours of your time per month;
 
to the extent that you devote more than 20 hours of time per month, then you will invoice the Company for that additional time at a rate of GBP£100 per hour;
 
all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with your non-executive directorship will be met by the Company;
 
D&O insurance will be made available to you.
