Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Item 6 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

  (a) On April 28, 2008 (the “Effective Time”) Lithium Technology Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Governance Agreement (the “Governance Agreement”) with certain shareholders of the Company (the “Investors”), Stichting Gemeenschappelijk Bezit LTC, (“Stichting LTC”), and Arch Hill Capital NV (“Arch Hill Capital” and together with Stichting LTC, the “Arch Hill Parties”). The Investors include eight persons or entities that are holders of shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock. The Investors beneficially own approximately 29% of the Company’s Common Stock in the aggregate.

The Company, Stichting LTC, Arch Hill Capital and the Investors have determined that it is the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to enter into certain governance and other arrangements with respect to the Company on the terms set forth in the Governance Agreement. The Governance Agreement provides that as of the Effective Time Ralph D. Ketchum, Marnix Snijder and Clemens E.M. van Nispen tot Sevenaer, directors of the Company, resign as directors of the Company (the “Resigning Directors”) and that the number of directors of the Company be set at six. The Governance Agreement further provides that Fred J. Mulder and Theo M.M. Kremers be appointed directors of the Company as of the Effective Time to fill the vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from the resignation of the Resigning Directors.

The Governance Agreement further provides that as of the Effective Time (i) Fred J. Mulder and Christiaan A. van den Berg be appointed a Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company; (ii) the Audit Committee shall consist of Theo M.M. Kremers, Fred J. Mulder and Christiaan A. van den Berg; and (iii) the Executive Committee shall consist of Klaus Brandt, Theo M.M. Kremers, Fred J. Mulder and Christiaan A. van den Berg.

Certain matters relating to the Annual Meeting of Stockholders are also provided for in the Governance Agreement. Pursuant to such provisions, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the following resolutions as of the Effective Time to provide for the calling and holding of the 2008 annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders (the “2008 Annual Meeting”):

An Annual Meeting of the Stockholders of the Company shall be held on June 16, 2008.

The record date for the determination of those stockholders of the Company entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the 2008 Annual Meeting shall be June 2, 2008.

The matters to be placed on the agenda of said Annual Meeting of Stockholders shall include the election of directors with the following persons nominated by the Company as directors of the Company: Klaus Brandt, Amir Elbaz, Theo M.M. Kremers, Fred J. Mulder, Christiaan A. van den Berg and two individuals designated in writing by the Investors acting jointly (provided that such individuals shall be reasonably acceptable to the Board of Directors of the Company) (collectively, the “Nominees”).

The number of directors comprising the entire Board of Directors of the Company to be elected at the 2008 Annual Meeting shall be the number of Nominees.

The Governance Agreement provides that (i) in connection with the 2008 Annual Meeting, the Company’s Board of Directors shall recommend that the Company’s stockholders vote to elect the Nominees as directors of the Company; (ii) the Company shall include the foregoing recommendation in its proxy materials for the 2008 Annual Meeting; and (iii) the Company’s form of proxy shall solicit authority to vote for the Nominees and no other persons. The Company agreed in the Governance Agreement to use its best efforts to ensure that the Nominees are elected as directors of the Company at the 2008 Annual Meeting. If, at any time prior to the 2008 Annual Meeting, one or more of the Nominees for any reason is unwilling or unable to be nominated or to stand for election at the 2008 Annual Meeting, the Governance Agreement provides that the Board of Directors of the Company may select a replacement Nominee.

The Governance Agreement provides that if the Company receives any comments from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the Company’s financial statements for the calendar ended December 31, 2007 or the Company’s proxy statement for the 2008 Annual Meeting, (ii) the Company is unable to hold the 2008 Annual Meeting on June 16, 2008 as a result thereof and (iii) the Company has fully complied with its obligations under the SEC Filing Provision described below, the Board of Directors may delay the date of the 2008 Annual Meeting and such record date by such number of days as shall be necessary for the Company to respond to such comments (subject to the prior written consent of the Investors which shall not to be unreasonably withheld).

Following the Effective Time and prior to the date that the Company mails its proxy materials to shareholders in connection with its 2008 Annual Meeting, the Governance Agreement provides that the Company’s Board of Directors shall approve an amendment of the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on July 29, 2005 as heretofore amended, to increase to 3,000,000,000 the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance, and shall recommend the same to the shareholders for approval at such meeting (the “Shareholder Proposal”). In furtherance of the foregoing, the Governance Agreement provides that the Company shall include such recommendation in its proxy materials and the Company’s form of proxy shall solicit authority to vote for these matters.

Each of the Investors and the Arch Hill Parties agreed in the Governance Agreement to vote the shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock over which he or it has voting power in favor of the election of the Nominees as directors of the Company and in favor of the Shareholder Proposal at the 2008 Annual Meeting, and agreed to use good faith efforts to cause its or his affiliates to so vote shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock over which they have voting power. Each of the Investors and the Arch Hill Parties agreed in the Governance Agreement to not seek the removal of any Nominee as a director of the Company prior to June 16, 2009, acting as a shareholder of the Company, provided however that this sentence shall in no way restrict any person’s actions as a director of the Company.

The Governance Agreement provides that the Company shall use its best efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “SEC Filing Provision”).

The Arch Hill Parties, acting jointly, have the right to terminate the Governance Agreement upon ten days’ prior written notice if at any time the Investors collectively cease to beneficially own less than 50% of the aggregate number of the shares of Common Stock listed on Schedule A to the Governance Agreement as being beneficially owned by the Investors (disregarding any double counting).

  (b) In connection with the Governance Agreement, on April 28, 2008 the Company entered into a consulting agreement with, among others, Christiaan A. van den Berg (the “Consulting Agreement”).
