TLG Acquisition One Corp.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2023
Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations
TLG Acquisition One Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on October 2, 2020, 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 “Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from October 2, 2020 (inception) through March 31, 2023, relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) described below and, after the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. 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 on investments from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.
The Company’s sponsor is TLG Acquisition Founder LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on January 27, 2021. On February 1, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 40,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), including 5,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments (the “Over-Allotment Units”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $400.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $22.7 million, of which $14.0 million was for deferred underwriting commissions (Note 5).
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 4,666,667 and 2,000,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) to the Sponsor and RBC Capital Markets, LLC, in its capacity as a purchaser of Private Placement Warrants (“RBC”), respectively, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $10.0 million (Note 4).
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $400.0 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”), 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 investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), as determined by the Company, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes, if any, and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount held in trust) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-business combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.
The Company will provide the holders of the Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or
 
5

TLG Acquisition One Corp.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then held in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.00 per Public Share). The
per-share
amount to be distributed to Public Stockholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 5). These Public Shares will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”). The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. The Company will not redeem the Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law or stock exchange listing requirements, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each Public Stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Initial Stockholders (as defined below) agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined below in Note 4) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination. RBC has also agreed to vote any Public Shares purchased after the Initial Public Offering for which it has voting control in favor of a Business Combination. In addition, the Initial Stockholders agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.
The holders of the Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4) (the “Initial Stockholders”) agreed not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or
pre-initial
Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by June 1, 2023 (as such period may be extended to August 1, 2023 or further extended pursuant to a stockholder vote, the “Combination Period”), the Company 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, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of 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 the Company to pay its 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 Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), 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 Initial Stockholders agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Initial Stockholders acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commission (see Note 5) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included

with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement (a “Target”), reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or Target that executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) not will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.
Trust Account Redemptions and Extension of Combination Period
On December 19, 2022, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders at which such stockholders approved the proposal to amend the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation giving the Company the right to extend the business combination deadline on a monthly basis up to six times from February 1, 2023 to August 1, 2023, by depositing into the Trust Account the lesser of (i) an aggregate of $600,000 or (ii) $0.06 for each issued and outstanding Public Share that has not been redeemed for each
one-month
extension (the “Extension”). On each of January 30, 2023, February 24, 2023, March
29
, 2023 and May 1, 2023 the Company deposited $476,904 into the Trust Account in order to extend the business combination deadline to March 1, 2023, April 1, 2023, May 1, 2023 and June 1, 2023, respectively.
In connection with such vote, the holders of an aggregate of 32,051,595 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem their shares for an aggregate of approximately $324.4
 
million in cash held in the Trust Account. Additionally, upon shareholder approval of the Extension, the Sponsors agreed that they would forfeit for no consideration 5,000,000 shares of Class F common stock in connection with the Extension, which shares of Class F common stock will be cancelled (the “Forfeiture”). The Forfeiture occurred on January 30, 2023.
Proposed Business Combination
On November 13, 2022, the Company and Eagle Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), entered into a Merger Agreement, as amended on December 23, 2022 and March 22, 2023 and as may be further amended (the “Merger Agreement”) with Electriq Power, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Electriq”). If the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Transactions”) are completed, Merger Sub will merge with and into Electriq, with Electriq surviving such merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, and upon consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions (together with the Merger, the “Proposed Business Combination”), the separate corporate existence of Electriq will cease to exist and the holders of Electriq common stock, preferred stock, options, warrants and other convertible securities (collectively, the “Electriq equityholders”) will become equityholders of the Company, which will change its name to “Electriq Power Holdings, Inc.” in connection with the Business Combination ( “New Electriq”).
As part of the Merger, Electriq equityholders will receive aggregate merger consideration (the “Merger Consideration”) of $495 million, consisting of up to 49,500,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, valued at $10.00 per share. At the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock from the Merger Consideration (the “Merger Consideration Incentive Shares”) will be placed into an escrow account to be used as Merger Consideration Incentive Shares. As part of the Merger Consideration,
 
7

holders of Electriq’s warrants and options not exercised prior to the Merger will receive replacement warrants and options, respectively, to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock based on the value of the Merger Consideration per share of Electriq common stock.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to enter into subscription agreements,
non-redemption
agreements, backstop agreements or similar financing agreements (the “Financing Agreements”) with one or more persons to provide at least the level of cash required to provide adequate operating liquidity for New Electriq through December 31, 2023 (such transactions, the “Financings”).
In connection with the Financings, 7,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Incentive Shares”) will be placed in escrow at Closing, consisting of 5,000,000 newly issued shares of The Company’s Class A common stock (the “New Incentive Shares”) and the 2,000,000 Merger Consideration Incentive Shares. The New Incentive Shares will be paid out as incentives in the Financings first, followed by the Merger Consideration Incentive Shares. At the termination of the escrow, any New Incentive Shares not paid out in the Financing will be transferred 50% to the Sponsor (defined in the Merger Agreement) and 50% to the Electriq equity holders, and any Merger Consideration Incentive Shares not paid out in the Financing will be returned to the Electriq equity holders.
The Merger Agreement includes covenants of Electriq with respect to operation of its business prior to consummation of the Merger. The Merger Agreement also contains additional covenants of the parties, including, among others, a covenant to make any required filings pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (“HSR”), and the preparation and filing of a registration statement on Form S-4 relating to the Merger and containing a proxy statement of the Company (the “Registration Statement / Proxy Statement”). The Merger Agreement also contains exclusivity provisions prohibiting Electriq and its subsidiaries from soliciting, initiating, knowingly facilitating, participating in, entering into, continuing discussions, negotiations or transactions with, or knowingly encouraging or responding to any inquiries or proposals by, or providing any information to any person relating to or that could reasonably be expect to lead to, or enter into or consummate any transaction relating to a Competing Company Transaction (as defined in the Merger Agreement), subject to limited exceptions specified therein.
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties thereto with respect to the parties, the Business Combination contemplated by the Merger Agreement and their respective business operations and activities. The representations and warranties of the parties generally do not survive the Closing.
Consummation of the Business Combination is generally subject to customary conditions, including (a) expiration or termination of all applicable waiting periods under HSR, (b) the absence of any law or governmental order prohibiting the consummation of the Merger, (c) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement, (d) the Company’s Class A common stock to be issued in the Merger having been listed on The New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) upon the Closing, and otherwise satisfying the applicable listing requirements of NYSE, (e) receipt of stockholder approval from stockholders of each of the Company and Electriq for consummation of the Merger and other related necessary matters and (f) the Company having net tangible assets following the redemptions of at least $5,000,001.
The parties to the Merger Agreement submitted their respective HSR notifications on December 12, 2022, and the waiting period under the HSR with respect to the transaction expired at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on January 11, 2023. The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances at any time prior to the Closing, including by mutual written consent or if the Business Combination has not been consummated on or prior to June 1, 2023.
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain security holders of Electriq (the “Electriq Holders”) entered into
lock-up
agreements (each, a
“Lock-up
Agreement”) with Electriq and the Company. Pursuant to the
Lock-up
Agreements, the Electriq Holders agreed, among other things, that their shares of the Company’s Class A common stock received as Merger Consideration may not be transferred until the earlier to occur of (i) six months following Closing and (ii) the date after the Closing on which New Electriq completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of New Electriq stockholders having the right to exchange their equity holdings in New Electriq for cash, securities or other property (the
“Lock-up”).Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if, after the Closing, (i) the volume weighted average price per share of the

trading period, an additional
10
% of the Restricted Securities of each Electriq Holder will be released from the
Lock-up.
On March 22, 2023, the parties to each of
the Lock-up Agreements
entered into a First Amendment to
the Lock-up Agreement
(the “Lock-up Amendment”),
pursuant to which the parties agreed to amend the definition of “Restricted Securities” such that a fraction of the closing merger consideration (equal to approximately 5%) received by each Electriq Holder will not be subject to
the Lock-up (such
fraction as further identified in
the Lock-up Amendment).
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Sponsor Agreement”) with Electriq, the Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor and the Company’s independent directors, whereby the Sponsor and holders of the Company’s Class F common stock have agreed to waive certain of their anti-dilution and conversion rights with respect to the Class F common stock.
The Sponsor also agreed to subject its holdings of the Company’s Class F common stock, and the other holders of the Company’s Class F common stock agreed to subject their Class F common stock, to certain transfer restrictions as follows: (i) with respect to 500,000 shares of Class F common stock, the Sponsor will not transfer such shares until the earliest to occur of (x) the fifth anniversary of the Closing, (y) such time as the closing volume weighted average price of a share of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 for any 20 trading days within any
 
30-day
 
trading period and (z) the date after the Closing on which New Electriq completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of New Electriq stockholders having the right to exchange their Company Class A common stock for cash, securities or other property; (ii) with respect to an additional 500,000 SPAC Founder Shares, the Sponsor will not transfer such shares until the earliest to occur of (x) the fifth anniversary of the Closing, (y) such time as the closing volume weighted average price of a share of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $15.00 for any 20 trading days within any

six-month
anniversary of the Closing or (y) the date after the Closing on which New Electriq completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of New Electriq stockholders having the right to exchange their Company Class A common stock for cash, securities or other property; provided that (i) 10% of such Founder Shares will be released at such time as the closing volume weighted average price of a share of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 for any 20 trading days within any
30-day
trading period and (ii) an additional 10% of such shares of Founder Shares will be released at such time as the closing volume weighted average price of a share of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $15.00 for any 20 trading days within any
30-day
trading period.
Support Agreement
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain stockholders of Electriq (each, a “Supporting Electriq Stockholder”), Electriq and the Company entered into a Support Agreement (the “Support Agreement”). Under the Support Agreement, each Supporting Electriq Stockholder agreed to, among other things, (i) vote at any meeting of the stockholders of Electriq or by written consent all of its Electriq common stock and/or Electriq preferred stock, as applicable, held of record or thereafter acquired in favor of the Merger and the Transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (ii) be bound by certain transfer restrictions with respect to Electriq securities, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Support Agreement.

Stockholders’ Agreement
The Merger Agreement contemplates that, at the Closing, New Electriq, the Sponsor and certain former Electriq equityholders will enter into a stockholders’ agreement (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”), pursuant to which (i) the Sponsor will be entitled to nominate one (1) director until the date upon which the Sponsor’s and its affiliates’ aggregate initial ownership interest of the issued and outstanding common stock of New Electriq (“Sponsor Initial Ownership Interest”) decreases to
one-half
of Sponsor Initial Ownership Interest and (ii) Greensoil Building Innovation Fund
Co-Investment
I, L.P. (“Greensoil”) will be entitled to nominate one (1) director until the date upon which Greensoil’s and its affiliates’ aggregate initial ownership interest of the issued and outstanding common stock of New Electriq (“Greensoil Initial Ownership Interest”) decreases to
one-half
of the Greensoil Initial Ownership Interest. The Sponsor and Greensoil will also each be entitled to designate one
non-voting
board observer until the date upon which each of the Sponsor and Greensoil, respectively, holds less than 1% of the issued and outstanding common stock of New Electriq.
Registration Rights Agreement
The Merger Agreement contemplates that, at the Closing, New Electriq, the Sponsor, certain of its affiliates, RBC and certain former stockholders of Electriq will enter into an amended and restated registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, New Electriq will agree to register for resale, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), certain shares of The Company’s Class A common stock that are held by, or issuable pursuant to other securities held by, the parties thereto from time to time.
If the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are completed (the “Transactions”), Electriq will survive such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, and upon consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (together with the Merger, the “Proposed Business Combination”), the separate corporate existence of Electriq will cease and the holders of Electriq common stock, preferred stock, options and warrants will become equityholders of the Company, which will change its name to “Electriq Power Holdings, Inc.” in connection with the Proposed Business Combination.
For additional information regarding the Merger Agreement and the Transactions contemplated therein, see the Current Reports on Form
8-K
as filed with the SEC by the Company on November 14, 2022, December 23, 2022 and March 23, 2023.
Liquidity and Going Concern
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $15,000 in its operating bank account and a working capital deficit of approximately $9.3 million, not including taxes payable of approximately $1.2 million.
The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering were satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor on behalf of the Company to cover certain offering costs in exchange for issuance of Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4), and a loan from the Sponsor of approximately $192,000 under the Note (as defined in Note 4). The Company repaid the Note in full upon consummation of the Private Placement.
Subsequent from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, held outside of the Trust Account, and Working Capital Loan from affiliates. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Working Capital Loan (as defined in Note 4) as may be required. The Company has drawn approximately $5.0 million and $3.0 million under such loans as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic
205-40,
“Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern,” management has determined that the liquidity condition, the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s
 
10

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after June 1, 2023 (as such period may be extended to August 1, 2023). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company intends to complete a Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date.
Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and Article 8 of Regulation
S-X.
Accordingly, certain disclosures included in the annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as they are not required for interim financial statements under GAAP and the rules of the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or any future period.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on March 20, 2023, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto. The financial information as of December 31, 2022, is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include its wholly-owned subsidiary, Eagle Merger Corp., that was formed in connection with a potential Business Combination. All inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (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 its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, 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 Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

U
se of Estimates
The preparation of 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 the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. 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 unaudited condensed consolidated 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 significantly from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company has significant cash balances at financial institutions which throughout the year regularly exceed the federally insured limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2022, held outside of the Trust Account.
Investments Held in Trust Account
Prior to December 28, 2022, the Company’s portfolio of investments held in the Trust Account was comprised of 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 investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in income from cash and investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature, except for the derivative warrant liabilities (see Note 9).
 
12

TLG Acquisition One Corp.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2023
 
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
 
   
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;
 
   
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
 
   
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
D
erivative Warrant Liabilities
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash
flow
, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is
re-assessed
at the end of each reporting period.
The warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering (the “Public Warrants”) and the Private Placement Warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to
re-measurement
at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The initial fair values of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants have each been measured at fair value using a modified Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants have subsequently been determined using listed prices in an active market for such warrants. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified as
non-current
liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.
Working Capital Loan-Related Party
The Company has elected the fair value option to account for borrowings under the Working Capital Loan with its affiliates that are subject to conversion, as defined and more fully described in Note 4. As a result of applying the fair value option, the Company records each convertible tranche, when drawn, at fair value with a gain or loss recognized at issuance, and subsequent changes in fair value are recorded as change in the fair value of Working Capital Loan-related party on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value is based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s own estimates about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the liability.

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering
Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with derivative warrant liabilities were expensed as incurred and presented as
non-operating
expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Offering costs associated with the Class A common stock issued were charged against the carrying value of the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company classifies deferred underwriting commissions as
non-current
liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.
Class A 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 (if any) is classified as liability instruments and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock that features 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) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 7,948,405 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares of Class A common stock resulted in charges against additional
paid-in
capital and accumulated deficit.
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. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had deferred tax assets aggregating approximately $151,000 and $349,000, which are subject to a full valuation allowance, respectively.
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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
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 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
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.

Net (Loss) Income Per Share of Common Stock
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class F common stock. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net (loss) income per common share is calculated by dividing the net (loss) income by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the respective period. This presentation assumes a business combination as the most likely outcome.
The calculation of diluted net (loss) income does not consider the effect of the warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering (including the consummation of the Over-allotment) and the private placement warrants to purchase an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted (loss) income per share because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted net income per share is the same as basic net (loss) income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
The tables below present a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net (loss) income per share for each class of common stock:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 3 — Initial Public Offering
On February 1, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 40,000,000 Units, including 5,000,000 Over-Allotment Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $400.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $22.7 million, of which $14.0 million was for deferred underwriting commissions.
Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and
one-third
of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant will entitle 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 4 — Related Party Transactions
Founder Shares
On October 13, 2020, the Sponsor paid $25,000 to cover certain offering costs of the Company in exchange for 8,625,000 shares of the Company’s Class F common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Founder Shares”). Subsequently, in October 2020, 431,250 Founder Shares were transferred to an affiliate of the Sponsor. In January 2021, the Sponsor transferred 40,000 Founder Shares to each of the independent directors at their original purchase price. On January 27, 2021, the Company effected a stock dividend of 0.15942029 of a share of Class F common stock for each outstanding share of Class F common stock, resulting in an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of Class F common stock outstanding. The Initial Stockholders agreed to forfeit up to 1,250,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full 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. The underwriter exercised its over-allotment option in full on February 1, 2021; thus, these
1,250,000
Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
The Initial Stockholders agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination; (B) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, if the last reported sale price of the 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; and (C) the date following the completion of the initial Business Combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.
In connection with the Extension, the Sponsor agreed that it would forfeit for no consideration 5,000,000 shares of Class F common stock in connection with the Extension, which shares of Class F common stock were cancelled. The Forfeiture occurred on January 30, 2023.
Private Placement Warrants
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 4,666,667 and 2,000,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor and RBC, respectively, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $10.0 million.
Each whole Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants will be
non-redeemable
for cash and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor, RBC, or their permitted transferees.
The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors 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.
Related Party Loans
On October 13, 2020, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $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 due upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company borrowed approximately $192,000 under the Note and repaid the Note in full upon consummation of the Private Placement. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no further drawdowns are permitted.
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor and the Company executed a
non-interest-bearing
promissory note in May 2021, providing the Company the ability to
 
16

TLG Acquisition One Corp.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2023
 
borrow up to $2,000,000 (the “Working Capital Loan”). On March 15, 2022, the Sponsor and the Company amended the Working Capital Loan, providing the Company the ability to borrow up to $5,000,000. On September 29, 2022, the Sponsor and the Company amended the Working Capital Loan, providing the Company the ability to borrow up to $8,000,000. If the Company completes an initial Business Combination, the Company will repay the Working Capital Loan out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loan will be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loan, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loan. The lender may elect to convert up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loan into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants will be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, a total of approximately $2.0 million were additionally drawn. The Company has drawn approximately $5.0 million and $3.0 million under such loans as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Administrative Services Agreement
The Company entered into an agreement with an affiliate of the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay a total of $7,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services to such affiliate. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or the liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees.
The Company incurred approximately $21,000 and $20,500
 in general and administrative expenses related to the agreement, which is recognized in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the periods ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was 
no accounts payable related to this agreement.
The Sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any reasonable
out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combinations. The Company’s audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by the Company to the Sponsor, officers, directors or any of their affiliates and will determine which expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of reasonable
out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf.
Note 5 — Commitments and Contingencies
Registration Rights
The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loan, if any, had registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of the Company’s securities held by them (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to Class A common stock) pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of these securities were entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders had certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, RBC may not exercise its demand and “piggyback” registration rights after five and seven years, respectively, after the effective date of the registration statement. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement
The Company granted the underwriters
a
 
45-day
 
option
from the date of Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 5,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriter exercised its over-allotment option in full on February 1, 2021.
The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $8.0 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters were entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $14.0
 million 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 a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. Effective as of May 10, 2023, RBC, the sole underwriter of the Initial Public Offering, waived its entitlement to the deferred underwriting fee of $
14.0
million.
Consulting Fees
The Company has agreements with third party consultants to provide certain advisory services to the Company relating to the identification of and negotiations with potential Targets, assistance with due diligence, marketing, financial analyses and investor relations, pursuant to which the consultants have agreed to defer their fees and have payment of such fees to be solely contingent on the Company closing an initial Business Combination. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has incurred approximately $1,299,985 and $949,000 in contingent fees pursuant to these agreements. The Company will recognize an expense for these services when the performance trigger is considered probable, which in this case will occur upon the closing of an initial Business Combination.
Risks and Uncertainties
Management continues 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 its operations, and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. As a result of this action, various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus. Further, the impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy is not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. Any share redemption or other share repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise will depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.

Note 7 — Stockholders’ Deficit
Preferred Stock
-The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s Board. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Class
 A Common Stock
-The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 7,948,405 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding. All shares subject to possible redemption have been classified as temporary equity (see Note 6).
Class
 F Common Stock
-The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of Class F common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 5,000,000 and 10,000,000 shares of Class F common stock outstanding, after giving retrospective application of the stock dividend as discussed in Note 4, retrospectively. Of the 10,000,000 shares of Class F common stock initially issued, up to 1,250,000 shares of Class F common stock were subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part, so that the Initial Stockholders would collectively own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock after the Initial Public Offering. The underwriter exercised its
 
19

TLG Acquisition One Corp.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2023
 
over-allotment option in full on February 1, 2021; thus, these 1,250,000 shares of Class F common stock are no longer subject to forfeiture. On January 30, 2023, in connection with the Extension, the Sponsors agreed that they would forfeit for no consideration 5,000,000 shares of Class F common stock in connection with the Extension, which shares of Class F common stock will be cancelled. The Forfeiture occurred.
The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that, prior to the initial Business Combination, only holders of the Founder Shares will have the right to vote on the election of directors. Holders of the Public Shares will not be entitled to vote on the election of directors during such time. These provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation may only be amended if approved by holders of at least 90% of the outstanding common stock entitled to vote thereon. With respect to any other matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including any vote in connection with the initial Business Combination, except as required by applicable law or the applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange then in effect, holders of the Founder Shares and holders of the Public Shares will vote together as a single class, with each share entitling the holder to one vote.
The Class F common stock will automatically convert into Class A common stock at the time of the initial Business Combination, or earlier at the option of the holder, on a
one-for-one
basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts issued in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of the initial Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class F common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class F common stock agree to waive such anti-dilution adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class F common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an
as-converted
basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination, excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination.
Note 8 — Warrants
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had 13,333,333 Public Warrants and 6,666,667 Private Warrants outstanding, respectively.
Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). The Company agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC and have an effective registration statement covering the shares of the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of the Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed. If a registration statement covering the shares of the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption.
The warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Board, and in

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2023
 
the case of any such issuance to the initial stockholders or their respective affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by them, 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 Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be
non-redeemable
so long as they are held by the Sponsor, RBC or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the Sponsor, RBC or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.
Redemption of warrants for cash:
Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (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; and
 
   
if, and only if, the last reported sale price of 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 the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
The Company will not redeem the warrants as described above unless an effective 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. Any such exercise would not be on a “cashless” basis and would require the exercising holder to pay the exercise price for each warrant being exercised.
If the Company calls the warrants for redemption as described above, the management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.”
Redemption of warrants for Class A common stock:
Commencing ninety days after the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:
 
   
in whole and not in part;
 
   
at $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined by reference to an agreed table based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of Class A common stock;
 
   
if, and only if, the last reported sale price of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted per stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) on the trading day prior to the date on which the Company send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders;
 
   
if, and only if, the Private Placement Warrants are also concurrently exchanged at the same price (equal to a number of shares of Class A common stock) as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above; and
 
21

TLG Acquisition One Corp.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2023
 
   
if, and only if, there is an effective registration statement covering the issuance of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating thereto available throughout the
 
30-day
 
period after written notice of redemption is given.
The “fair market value” of Class A common stock for the above purpose shall mean the average last reported sale price of Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants.
If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.
Note 9 — Fair Value Measurements
The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques that the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period. The estimated fair value of the Public Warrants was transferred from a Level 3 measurement to a Level 1 fair value measurement in March 2021, upon trading of the Public Warrants in an active market. The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was transferred from a Level 3 to a Level 2 on January 1, 2022, as the key inputs to the valuation model became directly or indirectly observable from the Public Warrants listed price. There were no other transfers between levels of the hierarchy for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022.
Level 1 assets include investments in money market funds that invest solely in U.S. Treasury securities. Level 1 liabilities include Public Warrants which are recognized at fair value based on the listed price in an active market for such warrants.

The fair value of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants was initially measured using a modified Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants has subsequently been determined using listed prices in an active market for such warrants.
The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants, prior to being a Level 2 measurement, is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in an option pricing simulation are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its common shares based on historical volatility of select peer companies’ common shares 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 remaining at zero.
Up to $1.5 million in outstanding principal of the Working Capital Loan may be converted, at the lender’s option, into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants will be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. The Company has elected the fair value option to account for the borrowings under the Working Capital Loan. The fair value of the working capital loan was estimated utilizing discounted cash flow techniques and a Black-Scholes option model assuming the warrants as the underlying. The traded price of the Public Warrants as of each measurement date was used as a proxy for the underlying warrant price. The time to maturity was estimated based on management’s estimated time to close a Business Combination. The volatility was derived from the traded prices of the Public Warrants. The discounted value of the loan host is based on observable high yield rates and management’s estimated probability of closing a Business Combination.
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, all funds in the Trust Account are held as cash.

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

References to the “Company,” “TLG Acquisition One Corp.,” “our,” “us” or “we” refer to TLG Acquisition One Corp. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

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. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in “Risk Factors,” “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and our other SEC filings. Any of those factors could result in a significant material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on October 2, 2020. We were formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). We are an emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

Our sponsor is TLG Acquisition Founder LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for our Initial Public Offering was declared effective on January 27, 2021. On February 1, 2021, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 40,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), including 5,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments (the “Over-Allotment Units”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $400.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $22.7 million, of which $14.0 million was for deferred underwriting commissions.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 4,666,667 and 2,000,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) to the Sponsor and RBC Capital Markets, LLC, in its capacity as a purchaser of Private Placement Warrants (“RBC”), respectively, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $10.0 million.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $400.0 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), and until December 28, 2022, were invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, as determined by us. On December 28, 2022, we liquidated our portfolio of investments held in the Trust Account and converted it into cash held in the Trust Account.

Table of Contents

Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that we will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. We must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes, if any, and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount held in trust) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, we will only complete a Business Combination if the post-business combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

If we are unable to complete a Business Combination by June 1, 2023 (as such period may be extended to August 1, 2023, the “Combination Period”), 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, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of 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 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 Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the 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.

Trust Account Redemptions and Extension of Combination Period

On December 19, 2022, we held a special meeting of stockholders at which such time our stockholders approved the proposal to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation giving the Company the right to extend the Business Combination deadline on a monthly basis up to six times from February 1, 2023 to August 1, 2023 by depositing into the Trust Account the lesser of (i) an aggregate of $600,000 or (ii) $0.06 for each issued and outstanding Public Share that has not been redeemed for each one-month extension (the “Extension”). The Company has elected to extend the Business Combination deadline four times and has deposited $476,904 for each monthly extension, or approximately $1.9 million in the aggregate, into the Trust Account in order to extend the Business Combination deadline to June 1, 2023.

In connection with such vote, the holders of an aggregate of 32,051,595 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem their shares for an aggregate of approximately $324.4 million in cash held in the Trust Account. Additionally, upon shareholder approval of the Extension, our Sponsor agreed that they would forfeit for no consideration 5,000,000 shares of Class F common stock in connection with the Extension, which shares of Class F common stock will be cancelled (the “Forfeiture”). The Forfeiture occurred on January 30, 2023.

Proposed Business Combination

On November 13, 2022, we entered into a Merger Agreement (as amended by that First Amendment to Merger Agreement, dated December 23, 2022, the Second Amendment to Merger Agreement, dated March 22, 2023, and as it may be further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Merger Agreement”) with Electriq Power, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“Electriq”), as disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by the Company on November 14, 2022.

If the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are completed (the “Transactions”), Electriq will survive such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, and upon consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (together with the Merger, the “Proposed Business Combination”), the separate corporate existence of Electriq will cease and the holders of Electriq common stock, preferred stock, options and warrants will become equityholders of the Company, which will change its name to “Electriq Power Holdings, Inc.” in connection with the Proposed Business Combination.

Effective as of April 10, 2023, Truist Securities, Inc. resigned and withdrew from its role as financial advisor and structuring agent to the Company and waived its entitlement to all fees and expense reimbursements in connection with the Business Combination. Effective as of May 10, 2023, RBC waived its entitlement to the deferred underwriting commissions payable in connection with the Initial Public Offering in the amount of $14,000,000.

For additional information regarding the Merger Agreement and the Transactions contemplated therein, see the Current Reports on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC by the Company on November 14, 2022, December 23, 2022 and March 23, 2023.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of March 31, 2023, we had $15,406 in our operating bank account and a working capital deficit of $9,280,411 million (excluding income and franchise taxes).

Our liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering were satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from our Sponsor to cover certain of our offering costs in exchange for issuance of Class F common stock, and a loan from our Sponsor of approximately $192,000 under a promissory note. We repaid the promissory note in full upon consummation of the Private Placement. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us working capital loans as may be required. The Sponsor and the Company executed a non-interest-bearing promissory note in May 2021, providing the Company the ability to borrow up to $2,000,000 (the “Original Note”). In March 2022, the Sponsor and the Company amended and restated the Original Note, providing the Company the ability to borrow up to $5,000,000. On September 29, 2022, the Sponsor and the Company amended the Working Capital Loan, providing the Company the ability to borrow up to $8,000,000. The Company has drawn $5,045,000 under such loans as of March 31, 2023.

In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern,” we have determined that the liquidity condition, mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after June 1, 2023 (as such period may be extended pursuant to a stockholder vote). The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

Management continues 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 our financial position, results of our operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. Any share redemption or other share repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent we would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise will depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by us and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in our ability to complete a Business Combination.

Results of Operations

Our entire activity from inception up to March 31, 2023 was in preparation for our formation and the Initial Public Offering and, after the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had net loss of $1,103,508, which consisted of $612,374 in interest income from investments held in the trust account, partially offset by $1,405,702 in general and administrative expenses, non-operating expense of $142,081 resulting from changes in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities and convertible note, $118,099 in income tax expense and $50,000 in franchise tax expense.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had net income of $6,449,070, due largely to a noncash gain resulting from changes in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities of $6,600,000, partially offset by operating expenses of $94,733 and $88,844 in franchise tax expense .

Contractual Obligations

Administrative Support Agreement We entered into an agreement with an affiliate of the Sponsor, pursuant to which we agreed to pay a total of $7,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services to such affiliate. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or the liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees. We incurred $21,000 and $21,000 in general and administrative expenses related to the agreement, which is recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Business Combinations. Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by us to the Sponsor, officers, directors or any of their affiliates and will determine which expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on our behalf.

Underwriting Agreement

We granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 5,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriter exercised its over-allotment option in full on February 1, 2021.

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $8.0 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters were entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $14.0 million 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 we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. Effective as of May 10, 2023, RBC, the sole underwriter of the Initial Public Offering, waived its entitlement to the deferred underwriting fee of $14.0 million.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Derivative Warrant Liabilities

We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to the FASB ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

 

28


Table of Contents

The warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering (the “Public Warrants”) and the Private Placement Warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, we recognized the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjust the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The initial fair value of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants have each been measured at fair value using a modified Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants has subsequently been determined using listed prices in an active market for such warrants. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

Working Capital Loan-Related Party

We have elected the fair value option to account for borrowings under the Working Capital Loan with our affiliates. As a result of applying the fair value option, we recognize each borrowing, when drawn, at fair value with a gain or loss recognized at issuance, and subsequent changes in fair value are recognized as change in the fair value of Working Capital Loan-related party in the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value is based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s own estimates about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the liability.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2023, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

JOBS Act

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing 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, the condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB 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 certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and 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 Initial Public Offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2023.

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.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Risk Factors.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 20, 2023, other than as described below. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

Truist Securities, Inc. has resigned from its financial advisory role in connection with the Business Combination and its structuring agent role in connection with the financings related to the Business Combination, and investors should not put any reliance on the fact that any such investment bank was involved with any aspect of the Business Combination. Although not formally retained in connection with the Business Combination, RBC has waived its entitlement to the deferred underwriting commissions payable in connection with our Initial Public Offering.

Effective April 10, 2023, Truist Securities, Inc. (“Truist”) resigned from, and ceased or refused to act in, every capacity and relationship in which it was described in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed in connection with the Business Combination and the proxy statement contained therein (collectively, the “Registration Statement / Proxy Statement”) and waived all rights to all fees under its engagement letter with TLG. Effective as of May 10, 2023, RBC, the sole underwriter of the Initial Public Offering, resigned from, or ceased or refused to act in, every capacity and relationship in which it was described in the Registration Statement/Proxy Statement and waived its entitlement to the deferred underwriting fee of $14.0 million. Neither Truist nor RBC provided a reason for its resignation and neither TLG nor Electriq will speculate as to their motivations for resigning their respective roles. Neither Truist nor RBC communicated to TLG or Electriq, and neither TLG nor Electriq are aware, that the resignations were the result of any dispute or disagreement with TLG or Electriq, including any disagreement relating to the disclosure in the Registration Statement/Proxy Statement, the scope of their respective engagements or their ability to complete such engagements, or any matter relating to TLG’s or Electriq’s operations, prospects, policies, procedures or practices. The primary services rendered by Truist in connection with the Business Combination included serving as financial advisor to our board of directors, structuring agent in connection with the financings related to the Business Combination, supporting the preparation of the investor presentations at the direction of TLG’s management and providing general advisory services in the context of proposed targets of TLG. RBC had not been formally retained in connection with the Business Combination.

Truist and RBC waived their entitlement to certain fees which would be owed upon completion of the Business Combination, which were comprised of approximately $3.3 million for Truist, as a financial advisory fee, and $14.0 million for RBC, as a deferred underwriting fee. Such a fee waiver for services already rendered is unusual. The waiver of these fees will result in a reduction of costs after the closing of the Business Combination. Aside from underwriting fees paid to RBC in connection with our Initial Public Offering, neither Truist nor RBC has received any fees in connection with the Business Combination, notwithstanding that their services have been largely complete and, as such, their fee waiver could be characterized as gratuitous upon completion of the Business Combination.

Truist claims no remaining role in the Business Combination and has disclaimed any responsibility for any portion of the Registration Statement/Proxy Statement filed by TLG with the SEC. RBC has also has disclaimed any responsibility for any portion of the Registration Statement/Proxy Statement. Furthermore, TLG and, following completion of the Business Combination, the surviving company, will remain liable for the provisions of the engagement letter with Truist and the underwriting agreement with RBC that survive their resignation, including, for example, with respect to indemnity and contribution.

It is the understanding of both TLG and Electriq that the SEC has received similar resignation letters from investment banks in connection with other business combination transactions involving special purpose acquisition companies. When a financial institution is named in a registration statement, it may presume a level of due diligence and independent analysis on the part of such financial institution ordinarily associated with a professional engagement. The withdrawal of Truist and the waiver of the deferred underwriting commissions by RBC indicates that they do not want to be associated with the disclosure or the underlying business analysis related to this transaction, and the resignation of these banks from other business combination transactions involving special purpose acquisition companies indicates that they do not want to be associated with such disclosure or business analysis for any companies undergoing such transactions. Investors should not place any reliance upon the fact that any of Truist of RBC previously were involved with the Business Combination.

Because Truist’s financial advisory services on the Business Combination were substantially complete, and RBC never rendered any such financial advisory services on the Business Combination, TLG and Electriq do not believe that these resignations will impact in any way the consummation of the Business Combination and neither TLG nor Electriq expects to hire additional financial advisors in connection with the Business Combination. Nonetheless, it is possible that Truist’s resignation or RBC’s waiver may adversely affect market perception of the Business Combination generally. If market perception of the Business Combination is negatively impacted, an increased number of TLG stockholders may vote against the proposed Business Combination or seek to redeem their shares for cash.

 

Item 2.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the Private Placement of 4,666,667 and 2,000,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor and RBC, respectively, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $10.0 million. Such securities were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

In connection with the Initial Public Offering, our sponsor had agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $300,000 pursuant to a promissory note. This loan is non-interest bearing and payable on the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. We borrowed an aggregate of $192,000 under a promissory note. We repaid the promissory note in full upon consummation of the Private Placement. Of the gross proceeds received from the Initial Public Offering and the full exercise of the option to purchase additional Shares, $400,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. From the closing of the Initial Public Offering until December 28, 2022, the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain proceeds from the Private Placement were invested in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less and in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. On December 28, 2022, we liquidated our portfolio of investments held in the Trust Account and converted it into cash held in the Trust Account.

We paid a total of approximately $8.7 million in underwriting discounts and commissions related to the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters agreed to defer $14.0 million in underwriting discounts and commissions.
