Amendment Description	Due to a filing error, the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by Good Works II Acquisition Corp. with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 17, 2022 (the “Original Form 10-K”): (i) included an error in the first sentence of the following Risk Factor: “Since our initial stockholders, including our sponsor, officers and directors, will lose their entire investment in us if our initial business combination is not completed, a conflict of interest may arise in determining whether a particular business combination target is appropriate for our initial business combination.”; (ii) omitted Item 9C. Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions That Prevent Inspections; (iii) included an incorrect draft report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm; and (iv) included an error in the Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity that stated the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $301,855 instead of $501,609. This Amendment No. 1 to the Original Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K/A”) is being filed solely for the purpose of correcting such errors. Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, this Form 10-K/A also contains new certifications by the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer as required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Form 10-K, and this Form 10-K/A does not modify, amend or update in any way any of the financial or other information contained in the Original Form 10-K. This Form 10-K/A does not reflect events that may have occurred subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-K.
