EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation II (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (this “Amendment”) to amend and restate certain items in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as of September 30, 2021 and for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021, originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 15, 2021 (the “Original 10-Q”).

 

Background of Restatement

 

On November 22, 2021, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company, in consultation with management of the Company and upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board, concluded that, in light of recent guidance, it is appropriate to restate the Company’s previously issued audited balance sheet as of February 8, 2021, as previously restated in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 28, 2021 (the “Q1 Form 10-Q”); the Company’s unaudited quarterly financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 included in the Q1 Form 10-Q, and the Company’s unaudited quarterly financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 18, 2021 (the “Q2 Form 10-Q” and, together with the Q1 Form 10-Q, the “Non-Reliance Financial Statements”). Considering such restatement, the Company concluded that the Non-Reliance Financial Statements should no longer be relied upon. This Amendment includes restatement of the Non-Reliance Financial Statements.

In connection with the preparation of its financial statements as of September 30, 2021, the Company’s management re-evaluated the Company’s application of ASC 480-10-S99-3A to its accounting classification of the redeemable shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Public Shares”), issued as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) on February 8, 2021. Historically, a portion of the Public Shares was classified as permanent equity to maintain net tangible assets greater than $5,000,000 on the basis that the Company will consummate its initial business combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001. Pursuant to such re-evaluation, the Company’s management determined that the Public Shares include certain provisions that require classification of the Public Shares as temporary equity regardless of the minimum net tangible assets required to complete the Company’s initial business combination.

In connection with the change in presentation for the Class A common stock subject to redemption, the Company also restated its earnings per share calculation to allocate net income (loss) pro rata to Class A and Class B common stock. This presentation contemplates an initial business combination as the most likely outcome, in which case, both classes of common stock share pro rata in the income (loss) of the Company.

Effects of Restatement

As a result of the factors described above, the Company has included in this Amendment a restatement of its financial statements for the periods affected by the Non-Reliance Financial Statements. See Note 2 to the Notes to Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Amendment for additional information on the restatement and the related financial statement effects. The Company does not expect these changes will have any impact on its cash position and cash held in the trust account established in connection with the IPO.

Internal Control Considerations

The Company’s management has concluded that in light of the classification error described above, a material weakness exists in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. For a discussion of management’s consideration of the material weakness identified, see Part I, Item 4, “Controls and Procedures” of this Amendment.

Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation II

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations

 

Organization and General

 

Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation II (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on December 4, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Initial Business Combination”). The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the “Securities Act,” as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”).

 

At September 30, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through September 30, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation and initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, as well as the identification and evaluation of prospective acquisition targets for an Initial Business Combination and ongoing administrative and compliance matters. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its Initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.

 

The registration statement for the Initial Public Offering was declared effective on February 3, 2021. On February 8, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 40,250,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), which includes the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase an additional 5,250,000 Units to cover over-allotments, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $402,500,000, which is described in Note 4.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private sale of 7,366,667 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Sponsor II LLC (the “Sponsor”) and the Company’s independent directors, generating gross proceeds of $11,050,000, which is described in Note 5.

 

Transaction costs amounted to $22,789,038, consisting of $8,050,000 of underwriting fees, $14,087,500 of deferred underwriting fees and $651,538 of other offering costs.

 

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on February 8, 2021, an amount of $402,500,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) located in the United States. The proceeds held in the Trust Account will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of one hundred eighty five (185) days or less or in money market funds that meet certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and that invest only in direct U.S. government obligations. Funds will remain in the Trust Account until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Initial Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account proceeds as described below. The remaining proceeds outside the Trust Account may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses.

Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation II

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations (cont.)

The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, other than the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, if any, none of the funds held in the Trust Account will be released until the earlier of: (i) the completion of the Initial Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any Public Shares sold in the Initial Public Offering that are properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of its obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if it does not complete the Initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering; and (iii) the redemption of 100% of the Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete an Initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (subject to the requirements of law). The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public stockholders.

 

Initial Business Combination

 

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating an Initial Business Combination. The Initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the Initial Business Combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect an Initial Business Combination.

 

The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for an Initial Business Combination, will either (i) seek stockholder approval of the Initial Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which stockholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Initial Business Combination, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including interest but less taxes payable, or (ii) provide stockholders with the opportunity to sell their Public Shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a stockholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including interest but less taxes payable. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of the Initial Business Combination or will allow stockholders to sell their Public Shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek stockholder approval, unless a vote is required by law or under the NASDAQ Capital Market rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval, it will complete its Initial Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the Initial Business Combination. However, in no event will the Company redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its Public Shares and the related Initial Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate Initial Business Combination.

 

If the Company holds a stockholder vote or there is a tender offer for shares in connection with an Initial Business Combination, a public stockholder will have the right to redeem its shares for an amount in cash equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including interest but net of any taxes payable. As a result, such shares of Class A common stock are recorded at redemption amount and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation II

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations (cont.)

Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, if the Company is unable to complete the Initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay the Company’s franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholder’s rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Sponsor and the Company’s independent directors and an affiliate of the Company’s chief executive officer have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares (as defined below) held by them if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within 24 months of the closing of the Initial Public Offering. However, if the Sponsor or any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates acquires shares of Class A common stock in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within the prescribed time period.

 

In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company after an Initial Business Combination, the Company’s stockholders are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. The Company’s stockholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock, except that the Company will provide its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, upon the completion of the Initial Business Combination, subject to the limitations described herein.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had a cash balance of $0, but the Company has access to Working Capital Loans (as defined below) from the Sponsor, which is described in Note 5, to partially cover the working capital deficit of approximately $3.9 million as of September 30, 2021. This excludes interest income of approximately $15,460 from the Company’s investment in the Trust Account which is available to the Company for tax obligations. Through September 30, 2021, the Company has not withdrawn any interest income from the Trust Account to pay its income and franchise taxes.

 

If the Company’s estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an Initial Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to an Initial Business Combination. Moreover, the Company may need to obtain additional financing either to complete an Initial Business Combination or because it becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of its Public Shares upon completion of an Initial Business Combination, in which case the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Initial Business Combination.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations (cont.)

 

The Company does not have sufficient liquidity to meet its anticipated obligations over the next year from the date of issuance of these financial statements. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that the Company has access to funds from the Sponsor, which is described in Note 5, and the Sponsor has the financial ability to provide such funds, that are sufficient to fund the working capital needs of the Company until the earlier of the consummation of the Initial Business Combination and one year from the date of issuance of these financial statements.

 

Note 2 – Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

 

In connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements as of September 30, 2021, management determined it should restate its previously reported financial statements. The Company determined, at the closing of the Company’s Initial Public Offering and shares sold pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment, it had improperly valued its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption. The Company previously determined the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption to be equal to the redemption value of $10.00 per Class A common stock while also taking into consideration that a redemption cannot result in net tangible assets being less than $5,000,001. Previously, the Company did not consider redeemable stock classified as temporary equity as part of net tangible assets. Management determined that the Class A common stock issued in the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option can be redeemed or become redeemable subject to the occurrence of future events considered outside the Company’s control. Therefore, management concluded that the redemption value should include all shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption, resulting in the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption being equal to their redemption value. As a result, management has noted a reclassification adjustment related to temporary equity and permanent equity. This resulted in an adjustment to the initial carrying value of the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption with the offset recorded to additional paid-in capital (to the extent available), accumulated deficit and Class A common stock.

 

In connection with the change in presentation for the Class A common stock subject to redemption, the Company also restated its earnings per share calculation to allocate net income (loss) pro rata to Class A and Class B common stock. This presentation contemplates an Initial Business Combination as the most likely outcome, in which case, both classes of common stock share pro rata in the income (loss) of the Company.

 

There has been no change in the Company’s total assets, liabilities or operating results.

 

The impact of the restatement on the Company’s financial statements is reflected in the following tables:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

 

Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with instruction to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or any future periods.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in the Company’s periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the (the “Exchange Act”)) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

 

Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding shares of common stock subject to forfeiture, plus, to the extent dilutive, the incremental number of shares of common stock to settle Warrants (as defined below), as calculated using the treasury stock method. At September 30, 2021, the Company did not have any other dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company under the treasury stock method. Since the exercise of Warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events, diluted income (loss) per common share is the same as basic income (loss) per common share for the periods presented.

 

The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class B common stock (the “Founder Shares”). Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares as long as an Initial Business Combination is consummated. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation coverage limits of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

 

Warrant Liabilities

 

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model to value the Public Warrant (as defined below) liabilities at the date of the Initial Public Offering and then the unadjusted, quoted price listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market for each subsequent reporting period, and utilizes a Black-Scholes model to value the Private Placement Warrant liabilities that are categorized within Level 3 at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the Statement of Operations (see Note 8).

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company applies ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), which establishes framework for measuring fair value and clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

 

The valuation hierarchy is composed of three levels. The classification within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels within the valuation hierarchy are described below:

 

Level 1 - Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

13


Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation II

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

Level 2 - Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.  

 

Level 3 - Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities.

 

See Note 9 for additional information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these financial statements. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

One of the significant accounting estimates included in these financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities. Warrant liabilities are held by the Company as issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Given that these instruments are categorized as a Level 3, the changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations given the application of an appropriate estimate.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash includes amounts held at banks with an original maturity of less than six months. As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company held $0 and $325,000, respectively, in cash and no cash equivalents.

Common stock subject to possible redemption

 

The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at September 30, 2021, 40,250,000 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet. At December 31, 2020, there were no shares of Class A common stock outstanding.

 

The Class A common stock subject to possible redemption reflected on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2021 are reconciled in the following table:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

Offering Costs

 

Offering costs consist of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the Initial Public Offering that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. The Company incurred offering costs amounting to $22,789,038 upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

 

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 852-10. Offering costs directly attributable to the issuance of an equity contract to be classified in equity are recorded as a reduction in equity. Offering costs for equity contracts that are classified as assets and liabilities are expensed immediately. The Company recorded $21,740,742 of offering costs as a reduction of temporary equity in connection with the Public Shares included in the Units. The Company immediately expensed $1,048,296 of offering costs in connection with the Public Warrants (as defined below) included in the Units that were classified as liabilities.

 

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $0 and $164,788, respectively, of deferred offering costs on the accompanying balance sheets.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The deferred tax assets are de minimus as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

 

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2021. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at September 30, 2021. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

 

The Company’s deferred tax assets and provision for income taxes were deemed to be de minimis as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. ASU 2020-06 also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021. Adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

The Company’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards updates, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 4 — Public Offering

 

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 40,250,000 Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-third of one redeemable warrant (each whole redeemable warrant included in the Units, a “Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 8).

 

Note 5 — Related Party Transactions

 

Founder Shares

 

On December 8, 2020, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 Founder Shares for an aggregate price of $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share. On January 15, 2021, the Company effected a stock dividend with respect to its Founder Shares of 4,312,500 shares thereof, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 10,062,500 Founder Shares. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated. As used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, “Founder Shares” shall be deemed to include the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion thereof. The Founder Shares are identical to the Public Shares except that the Founder Shares automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of the Company’s Initial Business Combination and are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below. Holders of Founder Shares may also elect to convert their shares of Class B common stock into an equal number of shares of Class A common stock, subject to adjustment as provided above, at any time. The Sponsor agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 1,312,500 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters, so that the Founder Shares represented 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering.

 

On February 3, 2021, the Company, the Sponsor and the Company’s independent directors entered into several securities agreements, pursuant to which the Company issued an aggregate of 400,000 Founder Shares and the Sponsor agreed to forfeit 400,000 Founder Shares at no cost, which were cancelled by the Company. On February 4, 2021, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option; thus, the 1,312,500 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture. In April 2021, Michael Warren, in connection with his resignation from the Company’s board of directors, forfeited 40,000 Founder Shares, and 40,000 Founder Shares were issued to the Sponsor. The Sponsor and the Company’s independent directors have waived their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and any Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of the Initial Business Combination. If the Initial Business Combination is not completed within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and the Company’s independent directors agree to waive their right to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them.

 

The Company’s initial stockholders have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the Initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the Initial Business Combination, (x) if the last sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

 

       Private Placement Warrants

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and the Company’s independent directors purchased an aggregate of 7,366,667 Private Placement Warrants, including 700,000 additional Private Placement Warrants as a stipulation for the over-allotment option being fully exercised, at a price of $1.50 per whole Warrant (as defined below) or $11,050,000 in the aggregate (see Note 4 for further information regarding the accounting treatment of the Private Placement Warrants).

 

16


Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation II

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

Each whole Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the purchase price of the Private Placement Warrants was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering to be held in the Trust Account such that at the closing of the Initial Public Offering, $402.5 million was held in the Trust Account. If the Initial Business Combination is not completed within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the initial purchasers of the Private Placement Warrants or their permitted transferees.

 

The Sponsor and the Company’s independent directors have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination.

Registration Rights

 

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on February 3, 2021, the holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (as defined below) (the “Working Capital Warrants”), if any, will be entitled to registration rights (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion of such shares to shares of Class A common stock). These holders will be entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

 

Related Party Loans

 

On December 8, 2020, the Company and the Sponsor entered into a loan agreement, whereby the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). This loan was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of June 6, 2021 or the completion of the Initial Public Offering (the “Maturity Date”). On December 22, 2020, the Company drew down $300,000 on this Note. On February 4, 2021, the Company paid back the Sponsor for the full amount of the outstanding Note, and this facility is no longer available to the Company.

 

As of September 30, 2021, the Company owed the Sponsor $962,323 for additional expenses paid on its behalf.

 

Administrative Support Agreement

 

The Company has agreed to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the Initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred $30,000 and $78,571, respectively, of monthly fees to the affiliate of the Sponsor, which were outstanding at September 30, 2021.

 

Working Capital Loans

 

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an Initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes an Initial Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that an Initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. If the Sponsor makes any Working Capital Loans, up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be converted into Working Capital Warrants of the post-business combination entity at the price of $1.50 per Working Capital Warrant at the option of the lender. Such Working Capital Warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020 the Company had no borrowings under any Working Capital Loans.

Underwriting Agreement

 

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $14,087,500 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes an Initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

 

Business Combination Agreement

 

On May 25, 2021, the Company, Tritium Holdings Pty Ltd, an Australian proprietary company limited by shares (“Tritium”), Tritium DCFC Limited, an Australian public company limited by shares (“NewCo”) and Hulk Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of NewCo (“Merger Sub”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement,” and the transactions contemplated thereby, the “Business Combination”), pursuant to which, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, (i) the Company, NewCo, Tritium and all existing shareholders of Tritium will enter into a share transfer agreement (the “Share Transfer Agreement”) pursuant to which the holders of all of the shares in the capital of Tritium (the “Tritium Shares”) will transfer their Tritium Shares to NewCo in exchange for an aggregate of 120,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of NewCo valued at $10.00 per share (the “NewCo Ordinary Shares”) to be issued simultaneously with the issuance of NewCo Ordinary Shares in connection with the Merger (as defined below) (the “Share Transfer”) and (ii) Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of NewCo (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, (i) each holder of warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, will receive in exchange an equal number of warrants to purchase NewCo Ordinary Shares and (ii) each holder of Class A common stock will receive in exchange an equal number of NewCo Ordinary Shares. Please see the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 26, 2021 for additional information.

 

On July 27, 2021, the Company, Tritium, NewCo and Merger Sub entered into the First Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment provides that (i) the obligations of Tritium, NewCo and Merger Sub to consummate the Business Combination are subject to the condition that the sum of (A) the amount of cash in the Company’s Trust Account and (B) the amount of cash proceeds to NewCo resulting from any private placements of NewCo Ordinary Shares be not less than $200,000,000 and (ii) the parties will use reasonable best efforts to consummate any private placements of NewCo Ordinary Shares.

 

On July 27, 2021, the Company, NewCo and Palantir Technologies Inc. (the “Investor”) entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Investor agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and NewCo agreed to issue and sell to the Investor, immediately prior to or substantially concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination, 1,500,000 NewCo Ordinary Shares (the “PIPE Shares”) at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, for gross proceeds of $15,000,000 (the “PIPE Financing”). The PIPE Financing is contingent upon, among other things, the consummation of the Business Combination.

The PIPE Shares to be issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement will not be registered under the Securities Act, in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, NewCo agreed that, within 30 calendar days after the closing of the PIPE Financing, NewCo will file with the SEC (at NewCo’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the PIPE Shares (the “PIPE Resale Registration Statement”), and NewCo will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the PIPE Resale Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof.

The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 7 — Stockholders’ (Deficit) Equity

 

Common Stock

 

The authorized common stock of the Company includes up to 250,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share and 20,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. If the Company enters into an Initial Business Combination, it may (depending on the terms of such an Initial Business Combination) be required to increase the number of shares of Class A common stock which the Company is authorized to issue at the same time as the Company’s stockholders vote on the Initial Business Combination to the extent the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with the Initial Business Combination. Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock. At September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, there were 40,250,000 and 0 shares, respectively, of Class A common stock issued and outstanding  subject to possible redemption. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were 10,062,500 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding.

 

The Sponsor agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 1,312,500 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised by the underwriters, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. On February 4, 2021, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option; thus, these 1,312,500 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designations (the “Preferred Stock”), voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020 there were no shares of Preferred Stock issued or outstanding.

Note 8 — Warrants

 

Each whole warrant (the Public Warrants, Private Placement Warrants and Working Capital Warrants, collectively, the “Warrants”) entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of our Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described herein. Only whole Warrants are exercisable. The Warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of our Initial Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, and will expire five years after the completion of our Initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation, as described in the Company’s Initial Public Offering prospectus. No fractional Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Warrants will trade.

 

The exercise price of each Warrant is $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described herein. In addition, if the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its Initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), the exercise price of the Warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the Newly Issued Price.

 

The Warrants will become exercisable on the later of:

 

 

30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination or,

 

 

12 months from the closing of the offering;

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

provided in each case that we have an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder (or we permit holders to exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis under the circumstances specified in the warrant agreement).

 

The Company has not registered the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. However, the Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) business days, after the closing of its Initial Business Combination, it will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company’s Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but the Company will be required to use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

 

The Warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, five years after the completion of the Company’s Initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. On the exercise of any Warrant, the Warrant exercise price will be paid directly to the Company and not placed in the Trust Account.

 

Once the Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants for cash (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

 

 

In whole and not in part;

 

 

At a price of $0.01 per Warrant;

 

 

Upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, referred to as the 30-day redemption period; and

 

 

if, and only if, the last sale price of our Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which we send the notice of redemption to the warrantholders.

 

The Company will not redeem the Warrants for cash unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period. If and when the Warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption right even if the Company is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

 

Except as described below, none of the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by the initial purchasers of the Private Placement Warrants or their permitted transferees.

 

Once the Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants (except as described below with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

 

 

in whole and not in part;

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

Note 8 — Warrants (cont.)

 

 

at a price of $0.10 per Warrant, provided that holders will be able to exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares of Class A common stock determined by reference to the table set forth under “Description of Securities — Warrants — Public Stockholders’ Warrants” based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of our Class A common stock (as defined below) except as otherwise described in “Description of Securities — Warrants — Public Stockholders’ Warrants”;

 

 

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption;

 

 

if, and only if, the last sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) on the trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrantholders; and

 

 

if the last sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrantholders is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like), the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Warrants, as described above.

 

The “fair market value” of the Company’s Class A common stock shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock for the 10 trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Warrants.

 

No fractional shares of Class A common stock will be issued upon redemption. If, upon redemption, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will round down to the nearest whole number of the number of shares of Class A common stock to be issued to the holder.

 

As of September 30, 2021, there were 13,416,667 Public Warrants and 7,366,667 Private Placement Warrants outstanding. As of December 31, 2020, there were no Warrants outstanding. The Company classifies the outstanding Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants as warrant liabilities on its balance sheet in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815.

 

The warrant liabilities are initially measured at fair value upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and subsequently re-measured at each reporting period. The Public Warrants were allocated a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Units equal to its fair value. The Company recognized gains (losses) in connection with changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $5,148,501 and $3,485,840, respectively, within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the Statement of Operations during the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2021.

Note 9 — Fair Value Measurements

At September 30, 2021, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $402,515,460 in money market funds which are invested in U.S. Treasury Securities. Through September 30, 2021, the Company has not withdrawn any interest earned on the Trust Account to pay its franchise and income tax obligations.

  

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2021 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2020.

 

The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model to value the Public Warrant liabilities at the date of the Initial Public Offering and then the unadjusted, quoted price listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market for each subsequent reporting period, and utilizes a Black-Scholes model to value the Private Placement Warrant liabilities that are categorized within Level 3 at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the Statement of Operations. The estimated fair value of the Private Warrant liability is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a binomial options pricing model are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock based on historical volatility that matches the expected remaining life of the Warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the Warrants. The expected life of the Warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates to remain at zero.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the Monte Carlo simulation model to value the Public Warrants at the date of the Initial Public Offering and the Black-Scholes model to measure the Private Placement Warrant liabilities that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

References to the “Company,” “our,” “us” or “we” refer to Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation II. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto contained in Item 1. of this report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Such statements include, but are not limited to, possible business combinations and the financing thereof, and related matters, as well as all other statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “initial business combination”). Our Sponsor is Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Sponsor II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”) and an affiliate of Riverstone Investment Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and its affiliates (“Riverstone”). Although we may pursue an acquisition opportunity in any business or industry, we intend to capitalize on the Riverstone platform to identify, acquire and operate a business in industries that may provide opportunities for attractive risk-adjusted returns in one of the multiple sectors that may advance the objectives of global decarbonization. This includes the energy and agriculture, industrials, transportation and commercial and residential sectors.

The registration statement for our initial public offering was declared effective on February 3, 2021 (the “Public Offering”). On February 8, 2021, we consummated the Public Offering of 40,250,000 units (the “Units”), including Over-Allotment Units ( as defined below) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $402.5 million, and incurring transaction costs of approximately $22.8 million, consisting of $8.05 million of underwriting fees, $14.1 million of deferred underwriting fees and approximately $0.65 million of other offering costs.

 

In connection with the Public Offering, the underwriters of the Public Offering were granted an option to purchase up to an additional 5,250,000 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”). On February 4, 2021, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option and purchased 5,250,000 Over-Allotment Units at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of approximately $52.5 million.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 7,366,667 private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to our Sponsor and our independent directors (the “Private Placement”), generating gross proceeds of $11.05 million.

 

Approximately $402.5 million of the net proceeds of the Public Offering (including Over-Allotment Units) were deposited into a U.S.-based trust account (the “Trust Account”), with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee and invested only in U.S. “government securities,” within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds

24


 

meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of our initial business combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as otherwise permitted under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

 

If we are unable to complete an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering, or February 8, 2023, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. 

 

Proposed Business Combination

 

Business Combination Agreement

On May 25, 2021, the Company, Tritium Holdings Pty Ltd, an Australian proprietary company limited by shares (“Tritium”), Tritium DCFC Limited, an Australian public company limited by shares (“NewCo”) and Hulk Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of NewCo (“Merger Sub”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement,” and the transactions contemplated thereby, the “Business Combination”), pursuant to which, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, (i) the Company, NewCo, Tritium and all existing shareholders of Tritium will enter into a share transfer agreement (the “Share Transfer Agreement”) pursuant to which the holders of all of the shares in the capital of Tritium (“Tritium Shares”) will transfer their Tritium Shares to NewCo in exchange for an aggregate of 120,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of NewCo valued at $10.00 per share (“NewCo Ordinary Shares”) to be issued simultaneously with the issuance of NewCo Ordinary Shares in connection with the Merger (as defined below) (the “Share Transfer”) and (ii) Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of NewCo (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, (i) each holder of warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), will receive in exchange an equal number of warrants to purchase NewCo Ordinary Shares and (ii) each holder of Class A Common Stock will receive in exchange an equal number of NewCo Ordinary Shares.

On July 27, 2021, the Company, Tritium, NewCo and Merger Sub entered into the First Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment provides that (i) the obligations of Tritium, NewCo and Merger Sub to consummate the Business Combination are subject to the condition that the sum of (A) the amount of cash in the Company’s Trust Account and (B) the amount of cash proceeds to NewCo resulting from any private placements of New Ordinary Shares be not less than $200,000,000 and (ii) the parties will use reasonable best efforts to consummate any private placements of NewCo Ordinary Shares.

 

Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement

Concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), the Company will amend and restate its registration rights agreement, dated February 3, 2021 (as amended and restated, the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which NewCo will agree that, within 30 calendar days after the Closing, NewCo will file with the SEC (at NewCo’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of certain securities held by or issuable to certain existing shareholders of the Company and Tritium (the “Resale Registration Statement”), and NewCo will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Resale Registration Statement declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof. In certain circumstances, the holders can demand NewCo’s assistance with underwritten offerings and block trades. The holders will be entitled to customary piggyback registration rights.

25


 

Lock-Up Agreements

Concurrently with the Closing, all existing shareholders of Tritium, or their attorney-in-fact, will enter into a lock-up agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”) with NewCo, Tritium and the Company pursuant to which they will agree, subject to certain customary exceptions, not to (i) effect any sale of, offer to sell, contract or agreement to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant of any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agreement to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establishment or increase of a put equivalent position or liquidation with respect to or decrease of a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder with respect to, any securities of NewCo, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any securities of NewCo, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise or (iii) make any public announcement of any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii), for six months after the Closing of the Business Combination.

Sponsor Support Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor entered into a letter agreement with the Company, NewCo and Tritium (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor agreed to (i) waive the anti-dilution rights set forth in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation with respect to shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Founder Shares”) held by it, (ii) vote all the Class A Common Stock and Founder Shares held by it in favor of the adoption and approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination, (iii) not transfer the Founder Shares (or NewCo Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion thereof in the Merger) until the earlier of (a) one year after the Closing or (b) subsequent to the Closing, (x) if the last sale price of the NewCo Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing or (y) the date on which NewCo completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of NewCo’s shareholders having the right to exchange their NewCo Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property and (iv) not transfer any warrants (or NewCo Ordinary Shares issued or issuable upon the exercise of the warrants) until 30 days after the Closing.

Commitment Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, each of St Baker Energy Holdings Pty Ltd, as trustee for the St Baker Energy Innovation Trust, Ilwella Pty Ltd, Varley Holdings Pt. Limited and Finnmax Pty Ltd, as trustee for The Finn Family Trust (collectively, the “Committed Shareholders”) entered into a commitment agreement (the “Commitment Agreement”) with NewCo and the Company pursuant to which, among other things, the Committed Shareholders agreed to execute and deliver the Share Transfer Agreement to the Company.

Termination Fee Side Letter

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Committed Shareholders and the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “Termination Fee Side Letter”) pursuant to which the Committed Shareholders agreed to pay, and cause certain other existing shareholders of Tritium to pay, to the Company a termination fee of $50,000,000 if the Business Combination Agreement is terminated by the Company or Tritium as a result of a certain shareholder of Tritium’s acquisition of securities of Tritium (other than the acquisition of securities (a) not in accordance with the shareholders’ deed from another Tritium shareholder, (b) of a de minimis amount from another Tritium shareholder or (c) newly issued securities directly from Tritium and without violation of the Business Combination Agreement) pursuant to the Shareholders’ Deed.

 

PIPE Financing

On July 27, 2021, the Company, NewCo and Palantir Technologies Inc. (the “Investor”) entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Investor agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and NewCo agreed to issue and sell to the Investor, immediately prior to or substantially concurrently with the Closing, 1,500,000 NewCo Ordinary Shares (the “PIPE Shares”) at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, for gross proceeds of $15,000,000 (the “PIPE Financing”). The PIPE Financing is contingent upon, among other things, the consummation of the Business Combination.

26


 

The PIPE Shares to be issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement will not be registered under the Securities Act, in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, NewCo agreed that, within 30 calendar days after the closing of the PIPE Financing, NewCo will file with the SEC (at NewCo’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the PIPE Shares (the “PIPE Resale Registration Statement”), and NewCo will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the PIPE Resale Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof.

Results of Operations

Our only activities from inception through September 30, 2021 related to our formation and the Public Offering, as well as due diligence costs incurred to identify a target company for a potential initial business combination. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net income of approximately $4.3 million, which consisted of approximately $5.1 million in gains due to the change in the fair value of warrant liabilities and interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $6,078, offset by approximately $800,000 in general and administrative expenses, including due diligence costs incurred in the pursuit of our acquisition plans.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of approximately $3.5 million, which consisted of approximately $5.8 million in general and administrative expenses, including due diligence costs incurred in the pursuit of our acquisition plans, and $1 million of offering costs allocated to warrant liabilities, offset by approximately $3.5 million in gains due to the change in the fair value of warrant liabilities and interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $15,460.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our liquidity needs up to the Public Offering were satisfied through receipt of a $25,000 capital contribution from our Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of Founder Shares to our Sponsor and a loan from our Sponsor for an aggregate amount of $300,000 to cover organizational expenses and expenses related to the Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). On December 22, 2020, we drew down $300,000 on the Note. We repaid the Note in full to our Sponsor on February 4, 2021. Subsequent to the consummation of the Public Offering, our liquidity needs have been satisfied through the net proceeds of approximately $1.1 million from the Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account.

 

The Company does not have sufficient liquidity to meet its anticipated obligations over the next year from the date of issuance of these financial statements. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that the Company has access to funds from the Sponsor, which is described in Note 5, and the Sponsor has the financial ability to provide such funds, that are sufficient to fund the working capital needs of the Company until the earlier of the consummation of the initial business combination and one year from the date of issuance of these financial statements.

 

As of September 30, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under any working capital loans.

 

Registration Rights

 

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans, if any, and any shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. These holders will be entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

 

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $8.05 million in the aggregate, paid upon closing of the Public Offering.

 

In addition, $0.35 per Unit, or approximately $14.1 million in the aggregate, will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete an initial business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

 

Administrative Services Agreement

Commencing on the date that our securities were first listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market and continuing until the earlier of our consummation of an initial business combination or our liquidation, we have agreed to pay an affiliate of our Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial support and administrative services. We recorded an aggregate of $78,571 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, in general and administrative expenses in connection with the related agreement in the accompanying statement of operations.

 

As of September 30, 2021, we recorded an aggregate of approximately $78,571 in related party expenses which remain outstanding.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

 

Warrant Liabilities

 

We account for the warrants issued in connection with our Public Offering in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815”), under which the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity classification and must be recorded as liabilities. As the warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, the warrants are measured at fair value at inception and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, with changes in fair value recognized in the Statements of Operations in the period of change.

Common stock subject to possible redemption

 

We account for the Class A Common Stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. Class A Common Stock subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events.

 

Impact of COVID-19

 

Our Sponsor continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that, while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on our financial position, results of operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the balance date.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We do not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material impact on our financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

JOBS Act

On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act and are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We elected to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

As an “emerging growth company,” we are not required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (iv) disclose comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our Public Offering or until we otherwise no longer qualify as an “emerging growth company.”

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. As a result, pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon their evaluation, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of September 30, 2021, due to a failure to correctly apply the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements, including with respect to certain complex features of the Class A Common Stock, which resulted in the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below in “Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.” In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Quarterly

29


 

Report on Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than as set forth below, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

The Company’s management determined that the Class A Common Stock issued in the Public Offering and pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option can be redeemed or become redeemable subject to the occurrence of future events considered outside the Company’s control. Therefore, management concluded that the redemption value should include all shares of Class A Common Stock subject to possible redemption, resulting in the Class A Common Stock subject to possible redemption being equal to their redemption value. As a result, management has noted a reclassification adjustment related to temporary equity and permanent equity. This resulted in an adjustment to the initial carrying value of the Class A Common Stock subject to possible redemption with the offset recorded to additional paid-in capital (to the extent available), accumulated deficit and Class A Common Stock. In addition, the earnings per share calculation should have allocated income and losses pro rata between two classes of shares. See Note 2 for further information regarding the restatement.

 

In light of this material weakness, the Company’s management has expended, and will continue to expend, a substantial amount of effort and resources for the remediation and improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, we have expanded and improved our review process for complex securities and related accounting standards, including enhancing access to accounting literature and improving identification of third-party professionals with whom to consult regarding complex accounting applications. Other than as described herein, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
