Item 7.01REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.  

On May 9, 2018, UQM Technologies, Inc. (“UQM”) issued a press release announcing that UQM and China National Heavy Duty Truck Group Co., Ltd. (“CNHTC”) have decided to jointly explore other options to accomplish their shared business goals in support of UQM’s entry into the China new energy vehicle market. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”) has informed UQM that the second stage investment would likely not be approved in its current form, as provided for in the previously announced stock purchase agreement signed by both parties on August 25, 2017. For additional information regarding the stock purchase agreement, see UQM’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 30, 2017.

The decision was made following further analysis and discussions with CFIUS relating to the transaction. As previously disclosed, the closing of the second stage investment is subject to, among other things, the receipt of certain regulatory and government approvals, including approval from CFIUS. UQM intends to engage CNHTC in discussions to pursue the possibility of alternative arrangements, including with respect to the contemplated joint venture for which UQM’s funding obligation is contingent upon closing of the second stage investment.

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

The information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (“Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
