Explanatory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (“Amendment No. 1”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 3, 2015 (the “Initial Filing”) by NanoFlex Power Corporation (the “Company”).

This Amendment No. 1 is being filed pursuant to Item 5.02(a)(3)(iii) of Form 8-K in order to: (1) update certain information under Item 5.02 of the Initial Filing, and (2) file as an exhibit a letter received from John D. Kuhns pursuant to the opportunity to respond to the Initial Filing granted to him under Item 5.02(a)(3)(ii) of Form 8-K. The information contained in this Amendment No. 1 supplements the information contained in Items 1.02 and 5.02 of the Initial Filing. Otherwise, the Initial Filing is restated herein in its entirety.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

As of March 30, 2015, shareholders holding approximately 67.26% of the total shares of common stock of NanoFlex Power Corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) that are entitled to vote on all Company matters approved by written consent the removal of John D. Kuhns from his position as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Mr. Kuhns’ removal was for “Cause” as defined under his Employment Agreement as amended and dated as of October 1, 2013 (the “Employment Agreement”). The removal arose as a result of his documented conduct and statements, which breached his fiduciary duties to the Company in order to advance personal monetary and other interests, and thereby threatened serious financial injury to the Company, its shareholders and its debtholders.

On March 31, 2015, the Board of Directors terminated the Employment Agreement with Mr. Kuhns for Cause and removed him from his positions as Co-CEO, and from all other officer positions he held with the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, and all director positions with the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates.

On March 18, 2015, the Company received correspondence from Mr. Kuhns’ counsel alleging that Mr. Kuhns has “Good Reason” to terminate the Employment Agreement for an alleged failure to pay his salary in full. On March 30, 2015, Mr. Kuhns advised that if the alleged breaches of the Employment Agreement were not cured there was a possibility that he would pursue litigation.

On April 24, 2015, the Company received a letter from Mr. Kuhns’ counsel (the “Response Letter”) stating that Mr. Kuhns disagreed with statements in the Initial Filing regarding the circumstances of his removal as a director and officer. A copy of the Response Letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 17.1, and is incorporated herein by reference. All descriptions of the contents of the Response Letter (including the Complaint described below) set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K/A are qualified in their entireties by reference to the full text of the Response Letter.

The Response Letter was accompanied by a copy of a complaint (the “Complaint”) filed by John D, Kuhns (the “Plaintiff”) in the United States District Court Southern District of New York against the Company, Mr. Dean L. Ledger, our current CEO, CFO and member of our Board of Directors, Mr. Robert J. Fasnacht, our current Executive Vice President and member of our Board of Directors and Mr. Ronald B. Foster, a shareholder of the Company (each, a “Defendant,” collectively, the “Defendants”). The Complaint alleges, among other things, that the Plaintiff was terminated by the Company in violation of Section 922 of the Dodd-Frank Act, that the Company wrongfully terminated the Employment Agreement, that the Defendants made false statements to shareholders regarding the Plaintiff, that the Defendants (other than the Company) tortuously interfered with the Plaintiff’s Employment Agreement, and that Mr. Ledger and Mr. Fasnacht breached their fiduciary duties to the Company and its shareholders.

The Plaintiff seeks monetary damages, including (i) two (2) times of the alleged owed compensation to him, together with interest as well as litigation costs, expert witness fees and reasonable attorneys’ fees; (ii) damages for the alleged breach of the Employment Agreement by the Company, estimated to be at least $2 million, plus interest and attorney’s fees; (iii) an unspecified amount for his alleged libel claim; and (iv) damages for the alleged tortious interference with contract, including punitive damages of at least $2 million. The Plaintiff is also seeking a declaratory judgment, claiming that he was not terminated as a director and should continue to hold a seat on the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company believes that the allegations in the Complaint to be without any merit and will vigorously defend against the claims.

THE COMPANY WISHES TO EMPHASIZE THAT THE RESPONSE LETTER REFLECTS THE THOUGHTS AND BELIEFS OF MR. JOHN D. KUHNS.
