Campbell, Calif., October 11, 2023 —ChargePoint Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CHPT), a leading provider of networked
solutions for charging electric vehicles, has secured a commitment from institutional investors, led by the lead investor of ChargePoint’s $300M in convertible notes issued in April 2022 (“Notes”), to purchase $175M of common stock
pursuant to the Company’s “at-the-market” (ATM) offering facility. Separately, ChargePoint raised net proceeds of $57M in additional funds under the ATM
facility during the third fiscal quarter of 2024.
“We are pleased to secure $232M in funding this quarter, which supports our stated goal of
adjusted EBITDA profitability in the fourth fiscal quarter of next year,” said Rex Jackson, CFO of ChargePoint. “These raises and our recently announced $150M revolving credit facility are consistent with our announced capital strategy to
bolster our balance sheet. We have no further plans to access the ATM.”
Separately, ChargePoint and the lead investor in the Notes have entered into
a binding term sheet agreeing to modify (either by amendment or exchange for new notes) the Notes to extend the maturity of the Notes from April 1, 2027 to April 1, 2028, to increase the cash coupon from 3.5% to 7% per year, to increase
the payment in kind coupon from 5% to 8.5% per year, and to adjust the conversion price from $24.03 per share to $12.00 per share.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions including, risks associated with the consummation
of the sales contemplated under the ATM, consummation of the amendment or exchange related to the Notes, risks related to our ability to achieve positive adjusted EBITDA by the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2025, and our plans regarding
accessing the ATM. There are a significant number of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements made in this press release, including: macroeconomic trends, including changes in or sustained inflation; prolonged
and sustained increases in interest rates, or other events beyond our control on the overall economy which may reduce demand for our products and services; geopolitical events and conflicts; adverse impacts to our business and those of our customers
and suppliers, including due to supply chain disruptions, component shortages, and associated logistics expense increases; our limited operating history as a public company; our ability as an organization to successfully acquire and integrate other
companies, products or technologies in a successful manner; our dependence on widespread acceptance and adoption of EVs and increased demand for installation of charging stations; our current dependence on sales of charging stations for most of our
revenues; overall demand for EV charging and the potential for reduced demand for EVs if governmental rebates, tax credits and other financial incentives are reduced, modified or eliminated or governmental mandates to increase the use of EVs or
decrease the use of vehicles powered by fossil fuels, either directly or indirectly through mandated limits on carbon emissions, are reduced, modified or eliminated; our reliance on contract manufacturers, including those located outside the United
States, may result in supply chain interruptions, delays and expense increases which may adversely affect our sales, revenue and gross margins; our ability to expand our operations and market share in Europe; the need to attract additional fleet
operators as customers; potential adverse effects on our revenue and gross margins due to delays and costs associated with new product introductions, inventory obsolescence, component shortages and related expense increases; adverse impact to our
revenues and gross margins if customers increasingly claim clean energy credits and, as a result, they are no longer available to be claimed by us; the effects of competition; risks related to our dependence on our intellectual property; and the
risk that our technology could have undetected defects or errors. Additional risks and uncertainties that could affect our financial results are included under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 11, 2023, which is available on our website
