Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the Year Ended December 31, 2009
Alternate Energy Holdings, Inc. (“AEHI” or the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, which was filed on March 31, 2010 (the “Original Filing”), to amend Part III of the Original Filing to remove Jennifer Ransom (“Ms. Ransom”) as a named executive officer of the Company. The Company previously reported Ms. Ransom’s information based on its mistaken belief that she was an executive officer requiring such disclosure under Item 401 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) in her position as V.P. of Admin. & Secretary based on her title not her duties. In fact, Ms. Ransom was not, and is not, an executive officer of the Company requiring such disloscure under the Act. This Amendment is also being filed to clarify the description of other compensation paid to Mr. Gillispie as disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table.
Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing, and this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A does not amend, update or change the financial statements or any other items or disclosures in the Original Filing. This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Filing or modify or update those disclosures, including any exhibits to the Original Filing affected by subsequent events. Information not affected by the changes described above is unchanged and reflects the disclosures made at the time of the Original Filing. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A should be read in conjunction with our filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing, including any amendments to those filings.
Part III of the Original Filing is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

Committees of the Board of Directors
The Company is managed under the direction of its board of directors.
Audit Committee
The Company formed an audit committee in March 2007. Members of the Audit Committee are Ralph Beedle (Chairman), Gregory E. Kane and John Franz. The audit committee is comprised solely of directors who are independent and financially literate, as required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. At least one member of the committee has accounting or related financial management expertise.
6
Previous “Blank Check” or “Shell” Involvement
Management of the Company has not been involved in prior private “blank-check” or “shell” companies.
Conflicts of Interest – General
Certain of the officers and directors of the Company may be directors and/or principal shareholders of other companies and, therefore, could face conflicts of interest with respect to potential acquisitions. In addition, officers and directors of the Company may in the future participate in business ventures, which could be deemed to compete directly with the Company. Additional conflicts of interest and non-arms length transactions may also arise in the future in the event the Company’s officers or directors are involved in the management of any firm with which the Company transacts business. The Company’s Board of Directors has adopted a policy that the Company will not seek a merger with, or acquisition of, any entity in which management serve as officers or directors, or in which they or their family members own or hold a controlling ownership interest. Although the Board of Directors could elect to change this policy, the Board of Directors has no present intention to do so. In addition, if the Company and other companies with which the Company’s officers and directors are affiliated both desire to take advantage of a potential business opportunity, then the Board of Directors has agreed that said opportunity should be available to each such company in the order in which such companies registered or became current in the filing of annual reports under the Exchange Act subsequent to January 1, 1997.
The Company’s officers and directors may actively negotiate or otherwise consent to the purchase of a portion of their common stock as a condition to, or in connection with, a proposed merger or acquisition transaction. It is anticipated that a substantial premium over the initial cost of such shares may be paid by the purchaser in conjunction with any sale of shares by the Company’s officers and directors which is made as a condition to, or in connection with, a proposed merger or acquisition transaction. The fact that a substantial premium may be paid to the Company’s officers and directors to acquire their shares creates a potential conflict of interest for them in satisfying their fiduciary duties to the Company and its other shareholders. Even though such a sale could result in a substantial profit to them, they would be legally required to make the decision based upon the best interests of the Company and the Company’s other shareholders, rather than their own personal pecuniary benefit.
Item 11. Executive Compensation
The following table sets forth the compensation (including salary, bonus, and certain other compensation) paid to the officers during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification
The Company is a Nevada corporation. The Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) provides that the articles of incorporation of a Nevada corporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except that any such provision may not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) acts specified in Section 78 (concerning unlawful distributions), or (iv) any transaction from which a director directly or indirectly derived an improper personal benefit. The Company’s articles of incorporation contain a provision eliminating the personal liability of directors to the Company or the Company shareholders for monetary damages to the fullest extent provided by the NRS.
The NRS provides that a Nevada corporation must indemnify a person who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative and whether formal or informal (a “Proceeding”), in which he or she was a party because the person is or was a director, against reasonable expenses incurred by him or her in connection with the Proceeding, unless such indemnity is limited by the corporation’s articles of incorporation. The Company’s articles of incorporation do not contain any such limitation.
The NRS provides that a Nevada corporation may indemnify a person made a party to a Proceeding because the person is or was a director against any obligation incurred with respect to a Proceeding to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty, fine (including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan) or reasonable expenses incurred in the Proceeding if the person conducted himself or herself in good faith and the person reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in an official capacity with the corporation, that the person’s conduct was in the corporation’s best interests and, in all other cases, his or her conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws allow for such indemnification. A corporation may not indemnify a director in connection with any Proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation or, in connection with any other Proceeding charging that the director derived an improper personal benefit, whether or not involving actions in an official capacity, in which Proceeding the director was judged liable on the basis that he or she derived an improper personal benefit. Any indemnification permitted in connection with a Proceeding by or in the right of the corporation is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such Proceeding.
The NRS, unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation, a Nevada corporation may indemnify an officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the corporation to the same extent as a director and may indemnify such a person who is not a director to a greater extent, if not inconsistent with public policy and if provided for by its bylaws, general or specific action of its board of directors or shareholders, or contract. The Company’s articles of incorporation provide for indemnification of directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries and agents of the Company to the full extent permitted by Nevada law.
9
The Company’s articles of incorporation also provide that the Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the Company or who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer or agent of another enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability.
Equity Compensation Plan Information
The Company has not established an equity compensation plan or Incentive Stock Option Plan.

Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 governs the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. That rule provides that a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who directly or indirectly has or shares voting power and/or investment power with respect to such security. Rule 13d-3 also provides that a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of such security within 60 days, including through the exercise of any option, warrant or conversion of a security. Any securities not outstanding which are subject to such options, warrants or conversion privileges are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of outstanding securities of the class owned by such person. Those securities are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of the class owned by any other person. Included in this table are only those derivative securities with exercise prices that the Company believes have a reasonable likelihood of being “in the money” within the next 60 days.
