Item 1.01     Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement

Item 3.02     Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On August 20, 2012, AMP Holding Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Investment Agreement (“Investment Agreement”) with Kodiak Capital Group, LLC (“Kodiak”).  Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, Kodiak has committed to purchase up to $7,500,000 of the Company’s common stock during the period commencing upon the effective date of a registration statement registering the shares of common stock underlying the equity line (the “Equity Line”) and continuing for 24 months.  The aggregate number of shares issuable by the Company and purchasable by Kodiak under the Investment Agreement will be determined by the purchase prices for the common stock, as determined under the terms of the Investment Agreement.  Upon execution of the Investment Agreement, the Company issued to Kodiak 1,875,000 commitment shares of newly-issued common stock.
 
Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of the Investment Agreement, the Company and Kodiak executed and delivered a Registration Rights Agreement (“Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company has agreed to provide certain registration rights under the 1933 Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and applicable state securities laws.
 
The Company may draw on the facility from time to time, as and when it determines appropriate in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Investment Agreement. The amount that the Company is entitled to put in any one notice shall be up to $75,000, at the Company's election. Kodiak’s purchase price for each put is set at ninety percent (90%) of the lowest posted closing bid price of the Company’s common stock during the five (5) trading days after the date of the put notice. The Company will not be entitled to put shares to Kodiak unless (a) there is an effective registration statement under the Securities Act to cover the sale of the shares to Kodiak, (b) the Company’s common stock continues to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, or becomes listed on a national securities exchange, and (c) the issuance of the shares would not cause Kodiak’s beneficial ownership to exceed 9.99% of our outstanding shares.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to use its best efforts to file a registration statement with the SEC to register the sale to Kodiak of shares of common stock issued or issuable under the Investment Agreement.

The Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) for the private placement of these securities pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The investors are accredited investors as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

The foregoing information is a summary of each of the agreements involved in the transactions described above, is not complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of those agreements, each of which is attached an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.  Readers should review those agreements for a complete understanding of the terms and conditions associated with this transaction.
