INTRODUCTORY NOTE

On July 31, 2019, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 21, 2019 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among UQM Technologies, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Company”), Danfoss Power Solutions (US) Company, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Danfoss-2019 Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger Sub”), Merger Sub was merged (the “Merger”) with and into the Company with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

Item 2.01Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

The information set forth in the Introductory Note and Items 3.03, 5.01, 5.02, and 5.03 of this report is incorporated herein by reference.

On July 31, 2019, Parent completed the acquisition of the Company through the Merger.

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding share of the Company’s common stock (each a “Company Share”), other than shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub, or any wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, or held in the Company’s treasury, was cancelled and converted into the right to receive $1.71 per share in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”) and net of any taxes required to be withheld therefrom.

Each option to purchase Company Shares that was outstanding as of the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested) was cancelled in exchange for the right to receive the excess of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price of such option, less any taxes required to be withheld therefrom. Restricted stock and restricted stock units that were not vested immediately prior to the Effective Time were automatically fully vested and free of any restrictions immediately prior to the Effective Time, and treated as Company Shares for all purposes of the Merger Agreement, including the right to receive the Merger Consideration, subject to applicable withholdings.  Outstanding Company warrants that were outstanding at the Effective Time were cancelled and the holders issued a replacement warrant exercisable for an amount in cash equal to the aggregate number of Common Shares underlying the warrant multiplied by the excess, if any of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price of the applicable warrant.

The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 22, 2019.

Item 3.01Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

The information set forth in the Introductory Note and Items 2.01 and 3.03 of this report is incorporated herein by reference.

On July 31, 2019, in connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Company notified the NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American”) of the consummation of the Merger and requested that the trading of the Company Shares on NYSE American be suspended and that the listing of the Company Shares on NYSE American be withdrawn. In addition, the Company requested that NYSE American file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a notification on Form 25 to report the delisting of the Company Shares from NYSE American and to deregister the Company Shares under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). On August 1, 2019 the NYSE American filed the Form 25 with the SEC and it is expected to be effective ten days after its filing.

Following the effectiveness of the Form 25, the Company intends to file with the SEC a Form 15 requesting the termination of registration of the Company Shares under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of reporting obligations under Section 13(a) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company Shares. Once such measures become effective, the Company will no longer be required to prepare and file public reports and will cease to file reports with the SEC.

Item 3.03Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders.

The information set forth in the Introductory Note and Items 2.01 and 5.03 is incorporated herein by reference.

At the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding Company Share, other than shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub, or any wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, or held in the Company’s treasury, was converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, whereupon all such Company Shares were cancelled and ceased to exist, and each holder of such Company Shares ceased to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration to be paid in consideration therefor in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power, by the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power thereof, to adjourn the meeting from time to time, in the manner provided in Section 2.04, until a quorum shall be present or represented. A quorum, once established, shall not be broken by the subsequent withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum. At any such adjourned meeting at which there is a quorum, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting originally called.

Section 2.08         Conduct of Meetings. The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of the stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. At every meeting of the stockholders, the president, or in his or her absence or inability to act, the vice president, or, in his or her absence or inability to act, the person whom the president shall appoint, shall act as chairman of, and preside at, the meeting. The secretary or, in his or her absence or inability to act, the person whom the chairman of the meeting shall appoint secretary of the meeting, shall act as secretary of the meeting and keep the minutes thereof. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board of Directors, the chairman of any meeting of the stockholders shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the chairman of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (a) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (b) the determination of when the polls shall open and close for any given matter to be voted on at the meeting; (c) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (d) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the chairman of the meeting shall determine; (e) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (f) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants.

Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by delivering to the secretary of the Corporation a revocation of the proxy or a new proxy bearing a later date. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot.

Section 2.10         Inspectors at Meetings of Stockholders. The Board of Directors, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, may, and shall if required by law, appoint one or more inspectors, who may be employees of the Corporation, to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof and make a written report thereof. The Board of Directors may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting, the person presiding at the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspectors shall (a) ascertain the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, (b) determine the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum and the validity of proxies and ballots, (c) count all votes and ballots, (d) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors and (e) certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and their count of all votes and ballots. The inspectors may appoint or retain other persons or entities to assist the inspectors in the performance of their duties. Unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors, the date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting. No ballot, proxies, votes or any revocation thereof or change thereto, shall be accepted by the inspectors after the closing of the polls unless the Court of Chancery of the State of Colorado upon application by a stockholder shall determine otherwise. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots cast at any meeting of stockholders, the inspectors may consider such information as is permitted by applicable law. No person who is a candidate for office at an election may serve as an inspector at such election.

Section 2.11         Written Consent of Stockholders Without a Meeting. Any action to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action to be so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered (by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested) to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Colorado, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Every written consent shall bear the date of signature of each stockholder who signs the consent, and no written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within 60 days of the earliest dated consent delivered in the manner required by this Section 2.11, written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take action are delivered to the Corporation as aforesaid. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall, to the extent required by applicable law, be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing, and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for notice of such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the Corporation.

Section 2.12         Fixing the Record Date.

(a)           In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than 60 nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting. If the Board of Directors so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board of Directors determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote therewith at the adjourned meeting.

(b)           In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than ten days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting: (i) when no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by law, the record date for such purpose shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation by delivery (by hand, or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested) to its registered office in the State of Colorado, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded and (ii) if prior action by the Board of Directors is required by law, the record date for such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

(c)           In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining

5

stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.
