Organization	1.Organization Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc. (“CDTi” or the “Company”) currently commercializes its material technology by manufacturing and distributing light duty vehicle catalysts and heavy duty diesel emissions control systems and products to major automakers, distributors, integrators and retrofitters. The Company is transitioning its business from being a niche manufacturer of emissions control solutions for the automotive and heavy duty diesel markets to becoming an advanced materials technology provider for these markets. The Company has a proven ability to develop proprietary materials incorporating various base metals that replace costly platinum group metals (“PGMs”) in coatings on vehicle catalytic converters. Recently, the Company has expanded its materials platform to include new synergized-PGM diesel oxidation catalysts (SPGMTM DOC), Base-Metal Activated Rhodium Support (BMARSTM), and SpinelTM technologies, and it is in the process of introducing these new catalyst technologies to Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) and other vehicle catalyst manufacturers in a proprietary powder form. The Company believes that its advanced materials focus and strategic repositioning will allow it to achieve greater scale and higher return on its technology investment than in the past. The Company’s business is driven by increasingly stringent global emission standards for internal combustion engines, which are major sources of a variety of harmful pollutants. It has operations in the United States (“U.S.”), the United Kingdom, Japan and Sweden as well as an Asian investment. CDTi is incorporated in the state of Delaware.
