Amended Stock Purchase Agreement Closing

    On April 1, 2013, MPM Technologies, Inc., a Washington corporation (the “Company” or “MPM”), and Carbon Cycle Investments LLC, a Washington limited liability company (“CCI”), completed the closing (the “Stock Purchase Closing”) of CCI’s purchase from the Company and the Company’s issuance to CCI of 6,000,000 shares of MPM common stock (the “CCI Closing Shares”) and other transactions contemplated under the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated February 18, 2011, by and between the Company and CCI (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), as amended by the Amendment No. 1 to Stock Purchase Agreement and Various Option Agreements, dated April 11, 2012 (“Amendment No. 1”), by and between the Company and CCI, and as amended further by the Amendment No. 2 to Stock Purchase Agreement, dated February 1, 2013 (“Amendment No. 2”), by and between the Company and CCI (the Purchase Agreement as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 is referred to as the “Amended Stock Purchase Agreement”).

    Immediately after the Stock Purchase Closing, CCI held 6,000,000 shares of MPM common stock, representing approximately 60% of all shares of MPM common stock then outstanding and options to purchase an additional 3,000,000 shares of MPM common stock.  After giving effect to the issuance to CCI of the CCI Closing Shares and the cancellation of 3,186,826 shares of MPM common stock held by Michael Luciano as contemplated by the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement, 10,014,501 shares of MPM common stock were outstanding immediately after the Stock Purchase Closing.

    The Company previously described the Stock Purchase Agreement and its contemplated transactions in the disclosure regarding a Sales Agreement between the Company and CCI contained in MPM’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 23, 2011, and on May 18, 2012. 
 
    The descriptions of the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement and the Stock Purchase Closing above are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to and should be read together with the full text of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2, which are attached respectively as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 to this Form 8-K and incorporated in this Item 3.02 and in Item 1.01 of this Form 8-K by reference.

 
 

 
You should consider risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by and in connection with the transactions effected as part of the Stock Purchase Closing and pursuant to the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement.  Risks associated with the change in control of the Company that occurred at the Stock Purchase Closing include, without limitation, the following:

-- There can be no assurance that integration of the Company’s management and operations will be successfully completed after the Stock Purchase Closing.

-- The Company’s access to prior management’s institutional knowledge for purposes of certifications in the Company’s periodic report filings to be made with the Securities Exchange Commission as required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) may be limited after the Stock Purchase Closing.  This could increase costs incurred by the Company in connection with or otherwise adversely affect the Company’s efforts to comply with periodic filing requirements under the Exchange Act.

-- Certain Exchange Act periodic reports that the Company was required to file with the Securities Exchange Commission prior to the Stock Purchase Closing were not completed and filed.  As a result the Company will incur significant costs in connection with efforts to comply with periodic report filing requirements under the Exchange Act.  Unless the Company achieves compliance with these requirements, unavailability of current public information regarding the Company could restrict reliance on certain provisions contained in Rule 144 under the Securities Act for resale of the Company's shares.
 
For further information regarding risks that could affect these transactions and the Company's business you should refer to the Company's other periodic filings filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Common Stock Issuance by Purchase
 
On April 1, 2013, the Company issued to CCI 5,420,417 shares of MPM common stock at the Stock Purchase Closing in exchange for CCI’s payment and delivery to MPM of cash in the total amount of $1,000,000.00 and other purchase consideration as provided under the Amended Stock Purchase Agreement.  For this issuance of MPM common stock the exemption from registration requirements under Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), was based on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
 
Common Stock Issuance by Notes Conversion
 
On April 1, 2013, the Company issued to CCI 579,583 shares of MPM common stock as consideration for and by conversion at the Stock Purchase Closing of MPM debt held by CCI in the aggregate total amount of $115,917 in principal and interest outstanding immediately prior to the Stock Purchase Closing under promissory notes executed by the Company in favor of CCI (the “Converted Notes”).  The Converted Notes were canceled upon this conversion.  For this issuance of MPM common stock the exemption from registration requirements under Section 5 of the Securities Act was based on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
