1Item 8.01 Other Events

~~Item~~On 5March 27, 2015, Arista Power, Inc.02 (the ~~Departure~~“Registrant”) terminated its registration under the Securities Exchange of ~~Directors~~1934, oras ~~Certain~~amended ~~Officers;~~(the ~~Election~~“Exchange Act”), thus terminating its filing of ~~Directors;~~periodic ~~Appointment~~reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Such de-registration was effected by the filing of ~~Certain~~a ~~Officers;~~Form ~~Compensatory~~15 ~~Arrangements~~with the SEC on March 27, 2015. Prior to such de-registration, the Registrant’s Common Stock was registered under Section 12(g) of ~~Certain~~the ~~Officers~~Exchange Act. Due to the current number of registered holders of its Common Stock, the Registrant is exempt from the requirement to be so registered and file periodic reports. The Registrant’s Board of Directors determined that it is in the best interest of the Registrant and its stockholders to terminate its Exchange Act registration and cease its compliance with the Exchange Act reporting requirements. Prior to the de-registration, the Registrant’s Common Stock traded on the OTC QB tier under the symbol “ASPW”. The Registrant expects that its Common Stock will shortly be moved to trade on the OTC Pink tier.

On January 29, 2015, Ira A. Greenstein submitted to Arista Power, Inc. (the “Company”) his resignation as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company. Mr. Greenstein’s resignation was accepted by the Board on February 2, 2015. At the time of his announcement, Mr. Greenstein served as the Chairman of the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee of the Board and the Chairman of the Compensation Committee of the Board. Mr. Greenstein’s decision to resign from the Board was solely due to personal reasons.
