Item 8.01 Other Events

Concurrent with its initial public offering in April 2013 (the “IPO”), Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with certain of its existing investors, including investors affiliated with MissionPoint Capital Partners, LLC (“MissionPoint”), an affiliate of one of the Company’s directors. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, at any time following 180 days after the IPO, upon the request of MissionPoint, the Company is required to file a registration statement (the “Resale Registration Statement”) registering the resale of 326,437 shares of Company common stock issuable upon the redemption of units of limited partnership (“OP Units”) in the Company’s operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), held by MissionPoint.

On January 2, 2014, the Company and MissionPoint agreed to delay the requirement to file the Resale Registration Statement until the Company was eligible to file a short-form registration statement on Form S-3 in order to avoid the additional expense for the Company of filing a resale registration statement before the Company was eligible to use a short-form registration statement. Under the terms of the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, holders of OP Units have the right to cause the Operating Partnership to purchase their OP Units for cash in an amount equal to the average of the closing trading price of a share of the Company’s common stock for the ten trading days before the day on which the redemption notice is given to the Operating Partnership, or, at the Company’s option, by issuing shares of Company common stock on a one-for-one basis. However, in exchange for the agreement to delay the filing of the Resale Registration Statement, the Company has agreed with MissionPoint that until the Resale Registration Statement is effective, the Company will not exercise its right under the partnership agreement to deliver shares of Company common stock in lieu of cash upon a request for redemption of OP Units held by MissionPoint (or certain of its affiliates) and instead will redeem such OP Units for cash in accordance with the terms of the partnership agreement.
