Appointment of New Director

On July 17, 2017, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Car Charging Group, Inc. (the “Company”), appointed Robert C. Schweitzer to the Board. Mr. Schweitzer was appointed Chairman of the Audit Committee, Chairman of the Compensation Committee, and as a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Mr. Schweitzer will also serve as lead “Independent Director” (as defined by Nasdaq’s Listing Rules).

Related Party Transactions

There are no related party transactions with regard to Mr. Schweitzer reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Material Plans, Contracts, or Arrangements

In connection with Mr. Schweitzer’s appointment as a director of the Company, he signed a Board of Directors Offer Letter Agreement (the “Director’s Agreement”) on July 14, 2017. The Director’s Agreement took effect upon the Board’s appointment of Mr. Schweitzer on July 17. Pursuant to the Director’s Agreement, Mr. Schweitzer will receive 500,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock by August 1, 2017. The Company is currently in the process of pursuing: (i) a public offering of its securities; and (ii) the listing of its shares of common stock on a national securities exchange (collectively, the “Offering”). Upon the sooner to occur of: (i) twenty (20) calendar days after the closing of the Offering; and (ii) October 31, 2017, the Board shall vote upon and approve a compensation package for each Board member. Such vote shall ensure that Mr. Schweitzer shall be paid commensurate with his duties as Chairman of the Audit Committee, Chairman of the Compensation Committee, and member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and lead “Independent Director”.

The foregoing description of the terms of the Director’s Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Resignation of Director

In connection with the Company’s application to have its shares of common stock listed on a national securities exchange, the majority of the Board members need to be independent. In order to meet this objective, on July 17, 2017, the Company’s President, Andy Kinard, resigned as a Board member. Mr. Kinard’s resignation was not as a result of any disagreements with the Company. With the appointment of Mr. Schweitzer and the resignation of Mr. Kinard, the majority of the Company’s directors is now independent. Mr. Kinard remains an employee of the Company.
