October 12, 2012, Plug Power Inc. (the &quot;Company&quot;) received a
deficiency notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market (&quot;Nasdaq&quot;) stating
that it no longer complies with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) because the
bid price of the Company's common stock closed below the required minimum $1.00
per share for the previous 30 consecutive business days. The notice also
indicated that, in accordance with Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), Plug Power
has a period of 180 calendar days, until April 10, 2013, to regain compliance
with Rule 5550(a)(2). If at any time before April 10, 2013 the bid price of the
Company's common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10
consecutive business days, Nasdaq will notify the Company that it has regained
compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2). In the event the Company does not regain
compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) prior to the expiration of the 180-day period,
Nasdaq will notify the Company that its common stock is subject to delisting.
The Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq hearing panel
and the delisting will be stayed pending until the
panel's determination. At such hearing, the Company would present a plan to
regain compliance and Nasdaq would then subsequently render a decision. The
Company is currently evaluating its alternatives to resolve the listing
deficiency.</font></p>

Item 3.01        Notice of
Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer
of Listing.
On
October 12, 2012, Plug Power Inc. (the "Company") received a
deficiency notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") stating
that it no longer complies with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) because the
bid price of the Company's common stock closed below the required minimum $1.00
per share for the previous 30 consecutive business days. The notice also
indicated that, in accordance with Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), Plug Power
has a period of 180 calendar days, until April 10, 2013, to regain compliance
with Rule 5550(a)(2). If at any time before April 10, 2013 the bid price of the
Company's common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10
consecutive business days, Nasdaq will notify the Company that it has regained
compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2). In the event the Company does not regain
compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) prior to the expiration of the 180-day period,
Nasdaq will notify the Company that its common stock is subject to delisting.
The Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq hearing panel
and the delisting will be stayed pending until the
panel's determination. At such hearing, the Company would present a plan to
regain compliance and Nasdaq would then subsequently render a decision. The
Company is currently evaluating its alternatives to resolve the listing
deficiency.
Item 8.01        Other
Events.
On
October 12, 2012, the Company issued a press release announcing the receipt of
the Nasdaq deficiency notice. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as
