Annual Meeting of Stockholders Adjourned

 

WE NEED YOUR VOTE

 

Dear Stockholder:

 

We have been trying to reach you regarding the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Romeo Power. The Annual Meeting of Stockholders was originally scheduled for June 14, 2022, but has been adjourned until June 30, 2022 to allow stockholders additional time to vote. You may think your vote is inconsequential, but no matter how many shares you own, your participation helps us to avoid costly additional adjournments and solicitations.

 

We need YOUR vote!

 

Stockholders are being asked to vote on the following proposals:

 

1)To elect eight nominees to serve on our Board of Directors;

 

2)To ratify the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022;

 

3)To approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers;

 

4)To approve, on an advisory basis, the frequency of future non-binding advisory stockholder votes on the compensation of our named executive officers;

 

5)To approve, for purposes of complying with Section 312.03(c) of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual, the issuance of our common stock to YA II PN, Ltd. in exce ss of the exchange cap of the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement included as Appendix A to the proxy statement previously distributed to stockholders; and

 

6)To approve an amendment to our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of common stock from 250,000,000 to 350,000,000.

 

A majority of the votes received have been cast in favor of all of the proposals. However, while the approval rate for Proposal 6 was approximately 84 percent, there was not a sufficient number of votes cast necessary to approve Proposal 6 despite the high approval rate. Proposal 6 is highly important for the Company to continue to fund its ongoing operations and pursue its key objectives to grow and increase its value. The high importance of Proposal 6 is why we are reaching out to you for your vote!
