Tax Receivable Agreement

Note 13 – Tax Receivable Agreement

In connection with the CRIS Business Combination, EVgo entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement with EVgo Holdings (along with permitted assigns, the “TRA Holders”) and LS Power Equity Advisors, LLC, as agent. The Tax Receivable Agreement generally provides for payment by the Company Group to the TRA Holders of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that the Company Group actually realizes or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances after the CRIS Business Combination as a result of (i) certain increases in tax basis that occur as a result of the Company Group’s acquisition (or deemed acquisition for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of all or a portion of the TRA Holders’ EVgo OpCo Units pursuant to the CRIS Business Combination or the exercise of the redemption or call rights set forth in the EVgo OpCo A&R LLC Agreement and (ii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by the Company Group as a result of, and additional tax basis arising from, any payments the Company Group makes under the Tax Receivable Agreement. The Company Group will retain the benefit of any remaining net cash savings. If the Company Group elects to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement early (or it is terminated early due to the Company Group’s failure to honor a material obligation thereunder or due to certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations or other changes of control), the Company Group is required to make an immediate payment equal to the present value of the anticipated future payments to be made by it under the Tax Receivable Agreement (based upon certain assumptions and deemed events set forth in the Tax Receivable Agreement, including (i) that the Company Group has sufficient taxable income on a current basis to fully utilize the tax benefits covered by the Tax Receivable Agreement, and (ii) that any EVgo OpCo Units (other than those held by the Company Group) outstanding on the termination date or change of control date, as applicable, are deemed to be redeemed on such date).

Amounts payable by the Company under the Tax Receivable Agreement are accrued through a charge to income when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount is estimable. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no transactions have occurred that would result in a cash tax savings benefit that would trigger the recording of a liability by the Company based on the terms of the Tax Receivable Agreement.
