Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 3, 2011, China Integrated Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a letter agreement with Rodman & Renshaw, LLC, as exclusive placement agent (the “Placement Agent”), pursuant to which the Placement Agent has agreed to act as placement agent on a best efforts basis in connection with the sale of 3,453,572 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) together with warrants, exercisable for a six month and five trading day period commencing six months and one day following the closing date, to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,726,786 shares of Common Stock in a registered direct offering.  The Company has agreed to pay the Placement Agent an aggregate fee equal to 5% of the gross proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock and related warrants in this offering.

Also on January 3, 2011, the Company and certain institutional investors entered into a securities purchase agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to such investors an aggregate of 3,453,572 shares of Common Stock together with warrants to purchase a total of 1,726,786 shares of Common Stock, for gross proceeds of approximately $24.17 million. Each purchaser of shares of Common Stock will receive a warrant to purchase a number of shares equal to 50% of the number of shares of Common Stock the purchaser purchases in the offering. The purchase price for each share of Common Stock and the related warrant is $7.00. Each warrant has an exercise price of $7.50. Each warrant is subject to anti-dilution provisions that require adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired upon exercise of the warrant, or to the exercise price of such shares, or both, to reflect stock dividends and splits, subsequent rights offerings, pro-rata distributions, and certain fundamental transactions.

The closing of the offering is expected to take place on or about January 7, 2011, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The shares of Common Stock, warrants to purchase Common Stock, and shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants will be issued pursuant to a prospectus supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), in connection with a takedown from the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-166551), which was declared effective by the SEC on May 19, 2010.

A copy of the letter agreement, form of securities purchase agreement and form of warrant are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 4.1, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing summaries of the terms of the letter agreement, securities purchase agreement and the warrants are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, such documents.

On January 4, 2011, the Company issued a press release announcing the offering. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
