Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
On April 17, 2014, the Board of Directors of CleanTech Biofuels, Inc. (the “Company”) granted the following grants of shares of common stock of the Company (par value $0.001) to certain members of the Company’s Board of Directors: 1,500,000 shares to James E. Russell, 1,500,000 shares to Paul Simon, Jr., and 500,000 shares to David Bransby; and to a member of management: 750,000 shares to Tom Jennewein, CFO.
The Board granted these awards in recognition of the efforts of the recipients towards the furtherance and implementation of the Company’s strategic plan and to induce the recipients to continue those efforts on behalf of the Company. Based on the foregoing, the Board determined such grants were in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.
All of these awards vest immediately as of the date above and were issued pursuant to Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or Section 4(a)(2) of the Act and will therefore be “restricted securities” as such term is used in Rule 144 of the Act.
