(b) On
January 8, 2010, Joseph A. Equale notified the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Startech
Environmental Corporation (the “Company”) of his
decision to resign from the Board, effective January 8, 2010. Mr.
Equale was a member of the Company’s Audit Committee and Compensation Committee
and had been a director since November 2003. Mr. Equale’s resignation
was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating
to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
Item
8.01 Other Events.
As
disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 24, 2009,
the Company is continuing to work toward completing its potential new
financing. However, the Company was unable to obtain financing by the
end of 2009 and cannot provide any assurance that it will be able to complete
any potential financing in the near future on terms that are favorable to the
Company, if at all. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity
securities or any securities convertible into equity, the Company expects that
its shareholders will experience dilution of their shareholdings. If the Company
is unable to obtain financing in the near future, the Company will have to cease
operations.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to
be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly
authorized.
