Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 11, 2016, Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “CDTI”) executed a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) with Lon E. Bell, Ph.D., one of the Company’s Directors.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Note, Mr. Bell agreed to lend the Company $500,000 at a rate per annum equal to 8% and a maturity date of September 30, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”). The Note bears no prepayment penalty. Mr. Bell has the right to convert the principal balance of the Note and any accrued interest thereon at any time before payment into the common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to the lower of the closing price of CDTI on the date before the date of the Note or as of the date when Mr. Bell sends written notice to the Company exercising his conversion right. The Company shall have the right to mandatorily convert the principal balance of the Note and any accrued interest into the common stock of Company upon the Maturity Date at a conversion price equal to the lower of the closing price of CDTI on the date before the date of the Note or the Maturity Date. The Company shall also have the right to mandatorily convert the principal amount of the Note plus accrued interest concurrently with the closing of a Liquidity Event at a conversion price equal to the lower of the closing price of CDTI as of the date immediately before the date of this Note or at a 25% discount to the Liquidity Event price. A Liquidity Event shall be defined as a strategic investment in CDTI or a public stock offering by CDTI.

 

The foregoing description of the Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Note. A copy of the Note is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
