SECTION 1 – REGISTRANT’S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

On April 25, 2016, The Mint Leasing, Inc., (the “Company”) filed disclosures on Form 8-K disclosing several material agreements entered into between the Company and third parties. In filing the Form 8-K, the Company inadvertently included information considered confidential by a Nissan North America, Inc. (“Nissan”). The Company believes there was a reasonable and proper basis to make the disclosure as a materially definitive agreement. Nevertheless, Nissan has taken the position that the Company’s disclosure of the information constituted a violation of the underlying Nissan Fleet Agreement (the “Agreement”) and has since declared the Agreement was breached by the Company. As of this filing, the Agreement between Nissan and the Company is deemed terminated. The Company does not anticipate any early termination penalties as a result of the Agreement’s termination.

SIGNATURE

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
