ITEM 1.01: ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT ------------------------------------------------------ On September 6, 2011, Envision Solar International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company") entered into a loan agreement and corresponding convertible promissory note in the original principal amount of $1,000,000 with an investor (the "Lender"). The note bears simple interest at an annual rate of nine percent (9%) with all principal and accrued interest payable on or before December 31, 2012, unless sooner converted into common stock. Under the original note, the holder could convert any amount due under the note into shares of the Company's common stock at any time six months after the note was issued, at a conversion price of $0.29 per share. On March 22, 2012, the Company and the Lender agreed to amend the note so that upon its conversion into common stock, the note holder would be issued, for accrued interest only, a number of shares of the Company's common stock calculated with a conversion price of the closing sale price of the Company's common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on the date of the notice of conversion. The original conversion price of $0.29 per share for all outstanding principal remains unaltered. On March 22, 2012, the Lender submitted a conversion notice to the Company for the entire outstanding balance of the convertible promissory note. Accordingly, the Company will issue a total of 3,647,591 shares of its common stock to the Lender, and the indebtedness evidenced by the note will be entirely extinguished.
