Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Merger Agreement

 

Broadscale Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation, is a blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (“Broadscale”). On November 30, 2021, Broadscale entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Voltus, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Voltus”), and Velocity Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Broadscale (“Merger Sub”).

 

The Merger

 

The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, the following transactions will occur (together with the other agreements and transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”):

 

(i) at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Closing”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (“DGCL”), Merger Sub will merge with and into Voltus, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and Voltus will be the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Broadscale (the “Merger”);

 

(ii) at the Closing, Broadscale will be renamed “Voltus Technologies, Inc.” (post-Merger Broadscale is referred to herein as “Voltus Technologies, Inc.”);

 

(iii) as a result of the Merger, among other things, all shares of capital stock of Voltus outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be canceled in exchange for the right to receive shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Broadscale (“Broadscale Common Stock”);

 

(iv) as a result of the Merger, all Voltus equity awards outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be converted into awards based on Broadscale Common Stock, upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are in effect with respect to such option immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger;

 

(v) at the Closing, the total number of shares of Broadscale Common Stock issuable to existing holders of Voltus capital stock or pursuant to the aforementioned converted equity awards shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) $750,000,000 (subject to increase by an amount equal to the aggregate exercise prices of all converted equity awards) by (y) $10.00; and

 

(vi) upon the Closing, existing holders of Voltus capital stock and equity awards will have the right to receive up to an aggregate of 10,000,000 additional shares of Broadscale Common Stock in three substantially equal tranches which are issuable upon the achievement of share price thresholds for Broadscale Common Stock of $12.50, $15.00 and $17.50, respectively, as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

 

The Board of Directors of Broadscale (the “Board”) has unanimously (i) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) resolved to recommend approval of the Merger Agreement and related matters by the stockholders of Broadscale.

Certain Related Agreements

 

Transfer Restrictions and Registration Rights

 

The Merger Agreement contemplates that, at the Closing, Voltus Technologies, Inc., Nokomis ESG Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), the holders of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Broadscale (which shares of Class B common stock shall be converted into Broadscale Common Stock in connection with the Closing), certain shareholders of Voltus and certain of each of their respective affiliates, as applicable, and the other parties thereto, will enter into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which Broadscale will agree to register for resale, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), certain shares of Broadscale Common Stock and other equity securities of Broadscale that are held by the parties thereto from time to time.

 

The Merger Agreement contemplates that, at the Closing, Voltus Technologies, Inc. and the Major Company Stockholders (as defined in the Merger Agreement) will enter into a Lock-Up Agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”).

 

The Lock-Up Agreement contains certain restrictions on transfer with respect to shares of Broadscale Common Stock held by the Major Company Stockholders and the Sponsor immediately following the Closing (other than shares purchased in the public market or in the PIPE Investment) and the shares of Broadscale Common Stock issuable to directors and executive officers of Voltus Technologies, Inc. upon settlement or exercise of restricted stock units, stock options or other equity awards outstanding as of immediately following the Closing in respect of awards of Voltus outstanding immediately prior to the Closing (the “Lock-up Shares”). Such restrictions begin at the Closing and end at the earlier of (i) the one year anniversary of Closing or (ii) the date on which the last reported sale price of Broadscale Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing. If, after Closing, Broadscale completes a transaction that results in a change of control, the Lock-up Shares are released from restriction immediately prior to such change of control.

 

Sponsor Side Letter Agreement

 

On November 30, 2021, the Sponsor, Broadscale and Voltus entered into the Sponsor Side Letter Agreement (the “Sponsor Side Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor agreed to (A)(i) vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) certain vesting terms with respect to the Broadscale Common Stock beneficially owned by the Sponsor, (iii) retain and not redeem its holdings in Broadscale prior to the Closing, (iv) waive its anti-dilution rights, (v) be subject to certain transfer restriction rights with respect to its holdings in Broadscale, and (vi) be bound by certain provisions of the Merger Agreement as if it were an original signatory thereto, and (B) irrevocably surrender and forfeit 6,266,667 warrants (100% of its warrants) to purchase Broadscale Common Stock immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, but conditioned upon Closing, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sponsor Side Letter Agreement.

 

Subscription Agreements

 

On November 30, 2021, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Broadscale entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (collectively, the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to, and on the terms and subject to the conditions of which, the PIPE Investors have collectively subscribed at a purchase price of $10.00 per share and $100 million in the aggregate for (i) 10 million shares of Broadscale Common Stock and (ii) in the case of certain PIPE Investors purchasing in excess of a specified number of shares of Broadscale Common Stock, an aggregate of 6,200,000 warrants exercisable for shares of Broadscale Common Stock (the “PIPE Investment”). The PIPE Investment will be consummated substantially concurrently with the Closing.

 

The Subscription Agreements for the PIPE Investors provide for certain registration rights. In particular, Broadscale is required to no later than the later of (i) 30 calendar days following the Closing or (ii) if Broadscale’s 2021 audited financial statements are required to be included, 90 calendar days following the Issuer’s most recent fiscal year end, submit to or file with the SEC a registration statement registering the resale of such shares. Additionally, Broadscale is required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 90th calendar day following the Closing Date if the SEC notifies Voltus Technologies, Inc. that it will “review” the registration statement and (ii) the 10th business day after the date Voltus Technologies, Inc. is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the registration statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. Voltus Technologies, Inc. must use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement effective until the earliest of: (a) the date the PIPE Investors no longer hold any registrable securities, (b) the date all registrable securities held by the PIPE Investors may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, (c) the date that all registrable securities held by the PIPE Investors held by a PIPE Investor may be sold pursuant to another exemption from registration, and (d) two years from the date of effectiveness of the registration statement.

The Subscription Agreements will terminate with no further force and effect upon the earliest to occur of: (i) such date and time as the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (ii) the mutual written agreement of the parties to such Subscription Agreement, and (iii) September 30, 2022, if the Closing has not occurred on or before such date.

All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including statements as to future results of operations and financial position, revenue and other metrics planned products and services, business strategy and plans, objectives of management for future operations of Voltus, market size and growth opportunities, competitive position and technological and market trends, are forward-looking statements. Some of these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words, including “may,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “predict,” “plan,” “targets,” “projects,” “could,” “would,” “continue,” “forecast” or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar expressions. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are based upon estimates, forecasts and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Broadscale and its management, and Voltus and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain and many factors may cause the actual results to differ materially from current expectations which include, but are not limited to: 1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the definitive merger agreement with respect to the business combination; 2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Voltus, Broadscale, the combined company or others following the announcement of the business combination and any definitive agreements with respect thereto; 3) the inability to complete the business combination due to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of Broadscale or Voltus, or to satisfy other conditions to closing the business combination; 4) changes to the proposed structure of the business combination that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to obtaining regulatory approval of the business combination; 5) the ability to meet Nasdaq’s listing standards following the consummation of the business combination; 6) the risk that the business combination disrupts current plans and operations of Voltus as a result of the announcement and consummation of the business combination; 7) the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the business combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; 8) costs related to the business combination; 9) changes in applicable laws or regulations; 10) the possibility that Voltus or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business and/or competitive factors; 11) Voltus’s estimates of its financial performance; 12) the risk that the business combination may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of Broadscale’s securities; 13) the risk that the transaction may not be completed by Broadscale’s business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by Broadscale; 14) the impact of the novel coronavirus disease pandemic, including any mutations or variants thereof, and its effect on business and financial conditions; 15) inability to complete the PIPE investment in connection with the business combination; and 16) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in Broadscale’s Form S-1 (File Nos. 333-252449 and 333-253016), Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021 and registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC, which will include a document that serves as a prospectus and proxy statement of Broadscale, referred to as a proxy statement/prospectus and other documents filed by Broadscale from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Neither Broadscale nor Voltus gives any assurance that either Broadscale or Voltus or the combined company will achieve its expected results. Neither Broadscale nor Voltus undertakes any duty to update these forward-looking statements, except as otherwise required by law.
