Item 1.01 Amendment to a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 6, 2015, Axion Power International, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (“Agreement”) with several accredited investors. On August 10, 2015, the Company and each of the accredited investors party thereto entered into a separate amendment to the Agreement which creates a schedule exception to Section 7(x) of the Agreement. The new Schedule 7(x) to the Agreement reads as follows:
As a result of the valuation of the Company's Class B Warrants for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, which the Company is in the process of finalizing with its third party independent valuation consultant, the Company has come to the conclusion that it will fall below the $2.5 million shareholders equity requirement as set forth in NASDAQ Rule 5550(b)(i). As a result of this event, the Company will likely receive a deficiency notification under Rule 5810(2) to which it will be required to submit a plan of compliance for NASDAQ staff review, within 45 days of receipt of the notification. The Company has a plan in place with which to regain compliance likely by the middle of the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015.
