and

 

JSC “INTER RAO UES”

 

Pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
in respect of

 

Plug Power Inc.

 

Explanatory Note:  This Amendment No. 5 (this “Amended Statement”) amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D of OJSC “Third Generation Company of the Wholesale Electricity Market” (“OGK-3”) and JSC “INTER RAO UES” (“INTER RAO UES” and collectively with OGK-3, the “Reporting Persons”) regarding the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Plug Power Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”).  The Issuer’s principal executive offices are located at 968 Albany-Shaker Road, Latham, New York 12110. Pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), this Amended Statement is jointly filed by OGK-3 and INTER RAO UES.  The Statement on Schedule 13D of the Reporting Persons, as amended by this Amended Statement, is referred to herein as the “Statement.”

 

The ownership percentages contained in this Statement and in the cover pages hereto are based upon information contained in the Issuer’s most recently available filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that, as of May 9, 2012, 37,855,742 shares of Common Stock were outstanding.

 

Item 2.  Identity and Background

 

Item 2 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

OGK-3 is an open joint stock company organized under the laws of the Russian Federation.  INTER RAO UES directly owns 38.93% of OGK-3 and indirectly (through JSC “INTER RAO Capital”) owns 33.65% of OGK-3, for an aggregate ownership interest of 72.58%.

 

In accordance with the provisions of General Instruction C to Schedule 13D, information concerning the executive officers, directors and each person controlling the Reporting Persons, as applicable (collectively, the “Listed Persons”), required by Item 2 of Schedule 13D is provided on Exhibit A hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 4.    Purpose of the Transaction

 

Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

On June 8, 2012, the board of directors of OGK-3 approved the sale of all of the Common Stock owned by OGK-3 to JSC “INTER RAO Capital” (“INTER RAO Capital”), a closed joint stock company organized under the laws of the Russian Federation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of INTER RAO UES.  It is the intention of the board of directors of OGK-3 that following the sale of the Common Stock to INTER RAO Capital, OGK-3 will no longer own any shares of Common Stock.  As of the date hereof, no share purchase agreement or other definitive documentation with respect to the sale of the Common Stock has been executed by OGK-3 and INTER RAO Capital and the terms of such sale have not been finalized.  Accordingly, as of the date hereof, OGK-3 continues to own the Common Stock as set forth in this Statement, and as of the date hereof, INTER RAO Capital does not have Section 13(d) beneficial ownership over any of the Common Stock.  INTER RAO UES and OGK-3 have notified the Issuer of this contemplated transaction.  As the contemplated transfer is an intercompany transaction for INTER RAO UES as the parent of both INTER RAO Capital and OGK-3, it is not contemplated that the transaction will have any material effect on the Issuer.

 

In 2011, OGK-3 entered into a management agreement with Limited Liability Company INTER RAO - Electrical Generation Management, a wholly-owned subsidiary of INTER RAO UES, whereby OGK-3 has agreed to transfer certain management rights and responsibilities to Limited Liability Company INTER RAO - Electrical Generation Management.

 

The Reporting Persons will review their investment in the Issuer from time to time and may determine (subject to the terms of the Standstill and Support Agreement dated as of May 6, 2011, the Shareholder Rights Agreement dated as of June 23, 2009, as amended, and applicable law) to take any of the actions required to be described in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  However, except as set forth in this Statement, the Reporting Persons do not have any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in the occurrence of any of the events specified in clauses (a) through (j) of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Accordingly, pursuant to such rules, INTER RAO UES could be deemed to be the beneficial owner of such Common Stock. Pursuant to Rule 13d-4 of the Act, the filing of this Statement shall not be construed as an admission that INTER RAO UES is for the purpose of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act, the beneficial owner of such shares of Common Stock.
