Item 2.01  Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets


Blue Earth, Inc. (the “Company”) previously announced on August 17, 2015 that all technology assets of Blue Earth Energy Power Solutions LLC (“EPS”) and Blue Earth Power Performance Solutions, Inc. (“PPS”), as well as Blue Earth’s rights to all PowerGenix Systems Inc. (“PowerGenix”) intellectual property and its approximate 24.4% equity position in PowerGenix are being transferred to EnSite Power, Inc. (“EnSite”).  EnSite was formed on July 2, 2015 to facilitate and expedite the commercialization of Blue Earth’s two proprietary technologies:  UPStealth®, nickel zinc-based battery backup system and the Peak Power® energy management system.  Johnny R. Thomas resigned, effective September 1, 2015, as Chief Executive Officer and a director of Blue Earth to devote his full time as Chief Executive Officer and a director of EnSite.


On August 31, 2015 the Board of Directors of Blue Earth authorized the execution of two Contribution Agreements with EnSite.  The Contribution Agreements ratified and confirmed the issuance of an aggregate of 20,250,000 shares of common stock of EnSite to Blue Earth upon formation of this subsidiary.  As of this date, Blue Earth owns 96.43% of the 21,000,000 shares issued and outstanding, while management and/or other assignees (for estate planning purposes) were allocated the remaining 3.57% of equity.


Pursuant to the Subsidiary Contribution Agreement, a copy of which has been filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K, Blue Earth transferred to EnSite all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of EPS and all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of PPS.  As consideration for the contribution of the EPS assets, EnSite allocated 8,644,716 shares of its common stock, and for the contribution of the PPS assets, EnSite allocated 3,746,686 shares of its common stock based on their cost basis reflected on Blue Earth’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2015.  When combined with the issuance of shares under the PowerGenix Contribution Agreement described below the shares totalled the above referenced 20,250,000 shares of EnSite common stock issued to Blue Earth.


Pursuant to the PowerGenix Contribution Agreement, a copy of which has been filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Form 8-K, Blue Earth transferred to EnSite:  (a) 17,341,176 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (approximately 24.4% of the capital stock of PowerGenix) and its rights under a Voting Agreement, which provides for one seat on the PowerGenix Board of Directors and one additional observer for Board meetings; (b) the exclusive right to use PowerGenix Intellectual Property to develop smart batteries (a combination of Blue Earth’s proprietary intellectual property and the PowerGenix Intellectual Property) for a number of market verticals (the “Products”) which shall be owned and marketed by Blue Earth.  As consideration for the contribution of the PowerGenix assets, EnSite allocated 7,858,598 shares of its common stock based on their cost basis reflected on Blue Earth’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2015.
