Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement


Clean Coal Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) has signed three year employment agreements effective July 1, 2012, with Robin Eves, as Chief Executive Officer and President, and Ignacio Ponce de Leon as Chief Operating Officer.  Mr. Eves will receive an annual salary of $395,000. Mr. Ponce de Leon will receive an annual salary of $370,000. Each officer was granted a signing bonus of 8,000,000 million shares of the Company’s restricted common stock upon execution of the agreements. In addition, each officer was granted options to purchase 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share, vesting on June 30, 2013 and exercisable until June 30, 2018, plus options to purchase 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share, vesting on June 30, 2014 and exercisable until June 30, 2019. These options were granted under the Company’s newly adopted stock option plan under which a total of 65,000,000 shares have been reserved for issuance under option grants to officers, directors, employees and consultants.


The above employment agreements include provisions for participation in employee benefit programs if the Company adopts such programs during the term of the agreements. Each agreement also includes a provision requiring the purchase by the Company of term life insurance. The agreements also include certain anti-takeover provisions that would require payment of three full years of annual salary as well as immediate vesting of all equity compensation if an entity acquiring the Company did not offer comparable positions to each officer.


Copies of the agreements are attached as exhibits to this Report.
