Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On August 22, 2008, Chapeau, Inc., a Utah corporation doing business as BluePoint Energy (“Chapeau”) entered into an agreement with the Gordon V. and Helen C. Smith Foundation (“Purchaser”) for the sale of 2,565,880 shares of Chapeau common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a purchase price of $0.3605 per share (the “Initial Purchase”), which price per share is equal to 70% of the average of the closing price of the Common Stock on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board for the four trading days including and immediately preceding August 22nd, for a total purchase price of $925,000. A copy of the Stock Purchase Agreement documenting the purchase and sale of the Common Stock is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto. The Stock Purchase Agreement provides that in the event Chapeau is not able to sell up to an additional 2,565,880 shares to certain other investors on substantially the same terms, Chapeau agrees to sell and Purchaser agrees to purchase such shares on the same terms (the “Subsequent Purchase”) as the Initial Purchase. In the aggregate, it is anticipated that the proceeds from the Initial Purchase and the Subsequent Purchase will total $1,850,000.

The Common Stock is being sold in a private offering that has been conducted in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided for by Rule 506 of Regulation D and alternatively Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). Chapeau has taken reasonable and customary steps to assure that the Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D. Chapeau did not offer or sell any of the securities issued and sold in the private offering by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and Chapeau used reasonable care to assure that the Purchaser is not an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Act by, among other things, affixing a legend on the certificates representing the Common Stock stating that the securities have not been registered under the Act and referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale of such securities.

The private offering proceeds of $1,850,000 will serve as bridge financing for Chapeau and, while no assurances can be given, management believes that such proceeds will support Chapeau’s continued operations for approximately the next four weeks but does not cover all accounts payable due or that may become due during such period and includes no reserves to meet unanticipated expenses or revenue shortfalls. Also included within this amount are certain funds needed to cover anticipated costs related to an intended raise of further funding to support Chapeau’s ongoing operations. Management’s projections indicate that Chapeau will require an infusion of a slightly larger amount of capital to support its continued operations during the subsequent four week period. Management believes that, ultimately, a significant infusion of new funding will be required in order for Chapeau to achieve sustainable cash flow and profitability. Chapeau continues to pursue additional sources of capital to meet such capital requirements. There can be no assurance, however, that any potential financing arrangements will be available and, if available, can be obtained on terms favorable to Chapeau or in amounts sufficient to meet Chapeau’s short and long term financial needs.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Changes in Fiscal Year.

At a special meeting of the Board of Directors of Chapeau (the “Board”) held on August 22, 2008, the Board approved certain amendments to Chapeau’s Bylaws, which amendments are effective immediately and are intended to modernize and clarify such Bylaws, to enhance for the benefit of all shareholders the provisions related to corporate governance, and to set certain minimum levels of information that must be made available to shareholders in the context of a proxy contest or proposed change of control. The Board believes that these amendments are of particular importance to Chapeau’s shareholders because as a voluntary filer, Chapeau is not subject to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s proxy rules. The purpose and effect of the amendments is to (i) allow the Board to postpone or (subject to good cause and certain other requirements) cancel annual or special meetings of the shareholders; (ii) require a nominating shareholder to provide certain business and biographical information regarding any person nominated by such shareholder for election as a director; (iii) require a shareholder proposing that any director be removed from office, which has the effect of causing a change in control of Chapeau, to state the reasons for such removal and any future plans such shareholder or such shareholder’s nominee may have with respect to the business and affairs of Chapeau; (iv) provide provisions for the making and dissemination to shareholders of shareholder proposals; and (v) clarify that the members of the Board and committees thereof may be paid for their services in any form determined by the Board to be reasonable in its sole and absolute discretion, including, without limitation, payment on an hourly basis. A copy of the First Amendment to the Bylaws is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto.
