Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.


On March 12, 2013, Energy Focus, Inc. (the “Company”) reported that it had embarked on a program to raise up to $3.8 million in convertible debt. The structure of the financing consists of unsecured, subordinated, convertible promissory notes that mature on December 31, 2016, have a five percent annual interest rate, and are convertible into common stock of the Company at the rate of $0.23 per share. The conversion price represented an approximately 12% premium to the average closing price of the common stock during the period from February 1 to March 6, 2013. The terms of this financing are substantially the same as those the Company entered into on December 13, 2012 as part of its $1.5 million convertible debt issuance. The Company’s Board of Directors approved this financing.


The Company previously reported that it had raised $1.8 million of the anticipated $3.8 million through March 31, 2013. Between May 7, 2013 and May 20, 2013, the Company received an additional $1.6 million from three current investors, and expects to receive an additional $1.4 million over the next several weeks, resulting in a total of $4.8 million raised. The market price of the Company’s shares between May 7, 2013 and May 20, 2013, ranged between $0.23 and $.041 per share.


Item 2.03.  Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.


Between May 7, 2013 and May 20, 2013, the Company has raised an additional $1.6 million in convertible debt. The information required by Item 2.03 is included in Item 1.01 of this report and is hereby incorporated in by reference.


Item 3.02.   Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities.


Between May 7, 2013 and May 20, 2013, the Company has raised an additional $1.6 million in convertible debt. The information required by Item 3.02 is included in Item 1.01 of this report and is hereby incorporated in by reference.
