The disclosure set forth
in the “Introductory Note” above is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01. The material terms and conditions
of the Business Combination Agreement are described in the Proxy Statement in the section titled “Proposal No. 1—The
Business Combination Proposal—The Business Combination Agreement” beginning on page 93 of the Proxy Statement, which
are incorporated herein by reference.
The Business Combination
Agreement and the Business Combination were approved by the Company’s stockholders at a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders
held on June 29, 2021 (the “Special Meeting”). On July 1, 2021, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement
consummated the Transactions.
At the Special Meeting, holders
of 13,230 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock sold in its initial public offering exercised their right to redeem
those shares for cash at a price of approximately $10.00 per share, for an aggregate of approximately $132,300. The per share redemption
price of $10.00 for public stockholders electing redemption was paid out of the Company’s Trust Account, which after taking into
account the redemption, had a balance immediately prior to the Closing of approximately $230.0 million.
Immediately after giving
effect to the Business Combination (including as a result of the redemptions described above, the conversion of all 5,750,000 outstanding
founder shares into shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis and the issuance of an additional 40,000,000 shares of
Class A common stock in the PIPE as described in Item 3.02 below), there were 264,536,770 shares of Common Stock, including 68,736,770
shares of Class A common stock and 195,800,000 shares of Class B common stock, issued and outstanding and warrants, to purchase
18,099,988 shares of Class A common stock of the Company’s issued and outstanding. Upon the Closing, the Company’s Class A
common stock and public warrants began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “EVGO”
and “EVGOW,” respectively, and the Company’s public units automatically separated into their component securities and,
as a result, no longer trade as a separate security and were delisted from the NYSE.

directors requires a significant portion of the total compensation package to be equity-based to align the interest of our directors with
our stockholders. Directors who are also our employees do not receive any additional compensation for their service on our Board. Under
the director compensation program, our non-employee directors are entitled to the following compensation:
|
·
|
An annual cash retainer of $45,000 for all non-employee directors and an additional $30,000 annual cash
retainer for the Lead Director;

actions associated with serving as a director to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law.
Further, to align the interests
of our directors with the interests of the Company’s other stockholders, our directors must comply with stock ownership guidelines
