ITEM 8.01.  OTHER EVENTS

As previously announced, Environmental Power Corporation (“we”, “our”, “us” or “Environmental Power”) has been working with Marathon Capital, LLC to obtain final financing proposals from prospective investors in support of its announced project pipeline. As a result of these activities, Environmental Power and its subsidiary, Microgy Holdings, LLC (“Microgy Holdings”), have entered into a non-binding letter of intent with a potential investor relating to, among other things, the purchase of newly issued equity interests in Microgy Holdings, the proceeds of which would be used for the completion of certain projects currently under development and construction by Microgy Holdings and its subsidiaries, as well as reimbursement of certain intercompany receivables owed by Microgy Holdings to Environmental Power. The letter of intent also addresses the development and funding of future projects based on Microgy’s technology. The letter of intent is not binding, and the transactions contemplated thereby remain subject to investor due-diligence and the negotiation, execution and delivery of definitive agreements.

We cannot assure you that any such definitive agreements will be entered into or that the transactions contemplated by the letter of intent will be executed. The potential investor has the right to terminate the non-binding letter of intent at any time for any reason. In addition, Environmental Power will need to continue to seek interim financing to fund operations while it seeks to finalize and close the transactions contemplated by the letter of intent.
