DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

Tecogen Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Registrant”), registered 706,147 shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share (“Registered Securities”), of the Registrant under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-212433) (“Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 7, 2016. The Registration Statement, as amended, was declared effective by the SEC on July 18, 2016. On March 12, 2021, the Registrant amended the Registration Statement by the filing of Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on a Form S-1 Registration Statement and, on March 19, 2021, further amended the Registration Statement by the filing of Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 on a Form S-1 Registration Statement (“Post-Effective Amendment Filings”) and such amendments were declared effective by the SEC on March 22, 2021. The Post-Effective Amendment Filings were filed with the SEC because, on June 9, 2020, the Registrant ceased to be eligible to continue to use the Form S-3 for the registration of securities to be sold in secondary transactions under the Securities Act pursuant to General Instruction I.B.3 of the Form S-3 due to the Registrant’s voluntary de-listing of its shares of common stock from trading on The NASDAQ Stock Market and de-registration of its shares under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

By filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 3, the Registrant hereby further amends the Registration Statement, as amended, to remove from registration all Registered Securities that have not been sold by the selling stockholders as of the date hereof and in accordance with the undertakings made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement, as amended. The Registration Statement, as amended, is hereby amended to reflect the de-registration of such unsold Registered Securities.
