Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

Open Energy Corporation, a Nevada corporation, referred to as "we", "our", "us" or the "Company" in this report, has completed the closing under the securities purchase agreement that we entered into on September 12, 2008 with The Quercus Trust. We refer to that securities purchase agreement as the "September 2008 SPA" in this report. Under the terms of the September 2008 SPA, we agreed to issue to The Quercus Trust warrants to acquire up to 235,000,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for gross proceeds of $4.7 million. We reported our entry into the September 2008 SPA in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or "SEC," on September 18, 2008.

On September 18, 2008, we completed the initial closing under the September 2008 SPA, issuing warrants to acquire up to 75,000,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for $1.5 million in gross proceeds. The warrants grant the right to acquire shares of our common stock, at an exercise price of $0.067 per share subject to anti-dilution protection, for a period of seven years from the date of issuance. We reported the initial closing in our Current Report on Form 8-K we filed with the SEC on September 24, 2008.

On October 3, 2008, we issued the balance of warrants we agreed to issue under the September 2008 SPA in exchange for $3.2 million in gross proceeds. We issued warrants to acquire up to 160,000,000 shares of our common stock, exercisable on the same terms as the warrants issued in the initial closing.

Ardour Capital Investments LLC acted as placement agent in connection with the transactions under the September 2008 SPA. In exchange for its services, we paid Ardour Capital a commission of $329,000, and issued Ardour Capital a warrant to acquire up to 9,400,000 shares of our common stock exercisable on the same terms as the warrants we issued to The Quercus Trust under the September 2008 SPA.

The issuance of the warrants described above was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, pursuant to Section 4(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

We issued a press release announcing the closing of the financing transaction described above, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by this reference.
