Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 20, 2023, Roth CH Acquisition V Co., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), filed a preliminary proxy statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in connection with the special meeting of stockholders to be held on May 17, 2023. As more fully described in the definitive proxy statement to be filed by the Company with the SEC, the special meeting will be held for the purpose of considering and voting on a proposal to amend (the “Extension Amendment”) the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination up to six (6) times, each such extension for an additional one (1) month period, from June 3, 2023 to December 4, 2023.

As previously reported, on May 3, 2023, the Company entered into non-redemption agreements with certain stockholders owning, in the aggregate, 1,310,409 shares of the Company’s common stock, pursuant to which such stockholders agreed, among other things, not to redeem or exercise any right to redeem such public shares in connection with the Extension Amendment. On May 4, 2023, the Company entered into additional non-redemption agreements with certain stockholders owning, in the aggregate, 689,591 shares of the Company’s common stock, pursuant to which such stockholders agreed, among other things, not to redeem or exercise any right to redeem such public shares in connection with the Extension Amendment. Certain initial stockholders of the Company agreed to pay the stockholders that entered into such agreements $0.04 per share for each one-month extension in connection with such agreements. The Company may enter into other agreements with one or more stockholders pursuant to which such stockholders will agree not to redeem all or a portion of their public shares in connection with the Extension Amendment. No additional funds will be deposited into the Trust Account.

A form of the non-redemption agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.1 with the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on May 3, 2023 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the non-redemption agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of non-redemption agreement filed therewith.
