On October 19, 2016, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Car Charging Group, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Kevin Evans as a member of the Board.

From 2015 to the present, Mr. Evans, 59, has been a strategic consultant focused on turnarounds, restructurings/recapitalizations, and divestitures. From 2009 through 2011, Mr. Evans was President and CEO as well as a member of the Board of Directors of EnergyConnect Group, Inc., a leading provider of demand response services to the electricity grid using a software as a service platform, and developed the operating strategy that generated a 27% compound annual growth rate. Johnson Controls bought EnergyConnect in 2011. After Johnson Controls completed the acquisition, Mr. Evans was, from 2011 through 2014, Vice President and General Manager of EnergyConnect as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Johnson Controls. From 2003 to 2008, Mr. Evans was Senior Vice President, Chief Business Officer, and Chief Financial Officer of the Electric Power Research Institute, an energy industry organization. Mr. Evans holds a B.A. in Economics and Management from Sonoma State University and a M.B.A. from San Diego State University.

Based on his work experience in the electricity industry, his previous directorships, and his education, we have deemed Mr. Evans fit to serve on the Board.
