EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
 
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is provided by Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) for the sole purpose of amending the Item 4.01 disclosure in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2014, in particular to provide the letter from the Company’s prior auditor regarding the disclosures in Item 4.01. All other disclosures in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed April 15, 2014 remain unchanged.

Item 4.01               Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

On April 15, 2014, Anton & Chia, LLP (“Anton & Chia”) informed the Company that it has resigned as the Company’s independent auditors in an e-mail that read, in its entirety, as follows:  “Take this email as our resignation.”  On April 18, 2014, the Company filed a Form 8-K to disclose the resignation and the disagreements between the Company and Anton & Chia.  The Company provided Anton & Chia with a copy of the Form 8-K on April 18, 2014.  On May 3, 2014, the Company notified Anton & Chia that the 10 business day period provided in Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K in which the auditors are supposed to provide their letter response to the Form 8-K disclosures, had expired.  In that correspondence, the Company also asked whether Anton & Chia intended to provide a letter for filing with the Form 8-K.

In an e-mail sent by Anton & Chia to the Company on May 5, 2014, Anton & Chia provided the Company with the letter that is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.  Anton & Chia’s letter is dated April 16, 2014.
