Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.


(i)

On April 6, 2014, we entered into a Joint Development and Marketing Agreement (the Agreement”) with Leclanché S.A. (SIX Swiss Exchange: LCEN) (“Leclanché”), a company organized under the laws of Switzerland. The Agreement provides for the joint development and marketing of the respective products of the parties and for us to assist and support Leclanché’s market entry into the United States.  Under the Agreement, we have committed to allocate specific resources to provide our services and both parties wish to collaborate together to better evaluate the opportunities in the United States and to assess how best to address these issues and generally support each other’s business efforts in furtherance of supporting their respective customers based in North America.  The Agreement contains confidential information provisions for each party; outlines their objectives; the responsibilities of each party; and other customary provisions for such an Agreement. For additional information about the Agreement, see Exhibit 10.1 in Item 9.01, as previously filed with our original Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 6, 2014, and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 11, 2014.


Leclanché has developed and markets lithium-ion titanate cells using proprietary technology and process and also designs and develops customized battery systems for OEM and other customers and is interested in marketing its products and services in the United States.

Precept has a 50.1% direct ownership in Leclanché and formally acts in concert with the second largest shareholder of Leclanché; they collectively own or control approximately 72.5% of the outstanding voting securities of Leclanché.

 

(ii)

Effective April 9, 2014, we accepted an Amended Private Placement Subscription Agreement (the “Amended Subscription Agreement”) from Precept Fund Management SPC (“Precept”), of Ground Floor, Harbour Centre, 42 North Church Street, George Town, Grand Cayman KY1-1110, Cayman Islands on behalf of Prescient Fund Segregated Portfolio (“Prescient SP”), to purchase 1,416,667 shares of our $0.001 par value common stock comprised of “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in consideration of US$255,000 or approximately US$0.18 per share.  Prior to the subscription for these shares, Prescient SP was the owner of 97,222,221 shares of our common stock or approximately 90.6% of our outstanding voting securities, all of which are comprised of common stock, following its March 31, 2014, acquisition of 80,000,000 shares of our common stock from Expedia Investment Holdings, an entity organized under the laws of Hong Kong (“Expedia”).  These shares were previously owned by Newmark Investment Limited, an entity organized under the laws of Hong Kong (“Newmark”), and Expedia, the beneficial owner of 100% of Newmark, acquired these shares from Newmark on or about January 16, 2014.  For addition information about the Subscription Agreement, see Exhibit 10.2 in Item 9.01.


Stephen J. Barber, our CEO and a director, is the 100% beneficial owner and a director of Precept Asset Management Limited (“PAML”), which is the investment manager of Prescient SP.  As the investment manager, PAML has been delegated  the authority to make investment decisions and vote interests held by Precept and Prescient SP, including the shares of Oak Ridge owned by Prescient SP and the shares of Leclanché owned by Precept.


These shares were sold in reliance on the exemption from registration provided in Regulation S promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
