Item 1.02

Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
|
On April 11, 2011, Altairnano, Inc. (the "Company") received written notice of termination from Inversiones Energeticas S.A. de C.V. (“INE”) for the contract signed February 9, 2011 between the Company and INE related to the proposed purchase by INE of a ten megawatt ALTI-ESS advanced battery system in El Salvador for approximately $17.97 million. Neither party will incur any liability as a result of the termination. The stated reason for the termination was that the authority which regulates INE had determined that the application of the technology in El Salvador was not feasible in the short term.
