EXPLANATORY NOTE REGARDING THIS FORM 8-K/A

Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K/A (the “Form 8-K/A”) to supplement the information in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K which was originally filed on June 1, 2016 (the “Original Form 8-K”). This Form 8-K/A amends Item 1.01 of the Original Form 8-K to include the supplemental information set forth below, and amends and restates Exhibit 10.1 included in the Original Form 8-K. Except as expressly noted in this Form 8-K/A, the information in this Form 8-K/A does not modify or change the Original Form 8-K.

As disclosed in the Original Form 8-K, on May 31, 2016, Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement (the “MES Agreement”) with Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. (“MES”) to, among other things, lease and deploy the Company’s PB3 PowerBuoy off Kozushima Island, Japan. The lease is for a six-month period anticipated to commence in March 2017. Pursuant to the MES Agreement, MES has also placed an order with the Company to provide certain engineering and other services. The total value of the lease and other services to be provided by the Company under the MES Agreement is $975,587.

The term of the MES Agreement will at a minimum include the duration of the project, as well as the lease of any materials, machinery, equipment, article, item, drawings, service or work, including but not limited to the lease of the PowerBuoy, provided for in the MES Agreement. The term of the MES Agreement commenced in March 2016 and is expected to extend at least through the term of the PB3 PowerBuoy lease, currently expected to be through August 2017. The total liability of the Company under the MES Agreement shall not exceed the total contract value. The MES Agreement is terminable by either party in the event of the bankruptcy or similar proceedings of the other party, and can be terminated by either party upon notice and failure by the other party to correct any default under the MES Agreement within a reasonable period. In addition, MES has the right to cancel all or any separable part of the MES Agreement for convenience upon 30 days written notice to the Company, but may not cancel the MES Agreement after the Goods (as defined in the MES Agreement) have left the Company’s facility for shipment to MES. The MES Agreement includes a number of other standard contract terms and conditions, including without limitation, provisions relating to inspection and testing, packing and delivery, warranties, indemnities and limit of liabilities, and risk of loss and insurance. The MES Agreement is governed by the laws of Japan.

The foregoing description of the MES Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K/A and is incorporated herein by reference.
