Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 26, 2017, Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (the “Registrant”), through one of its subsidiaries, entered into an investment agreement (“IA”) with Landi Renzo S.p.A. (“LR”), an alternative fuels company based in Italy, pursuant to which the Registrant and LR have agreed to combine their respective natural gas compressor manufacturing subsidiaries, Clean Energy Compression Corp. and SAFE S.p.A, in a new company referred to as “Compressor Ventures” (such transaction, the “Combination”). The new company will be focused on manufacturing, selling and servicing natural gas fueling compressors and related equipment for the global natural gas fueling market. Upon the closing under the IA, which is expected to occur by December 31, 2017, the Registrant will own 49% of Compressor Ventures and LR will own 51% of Compressor Ventures.

The IA includes representations, warranties, pre- and post-closing covenants and termination provisions customary for transactions of this nature.

The foregoing description of the IA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the IA, which is filed as Exhibit 2.12 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The IA contains customary representations and warranties by the parties thereto, which were made solely for the purpose of the IA and as of specific dates as set forth therein, may have been qualified by certain private disclosures made between the parties and are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to stockholders, among other limitations. As a result, these representations and warranties should not be relied upon as a disclosure of factual information.

The Registrant issued a press release on November 27, 2017 announcing the Combination, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
