Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Agreement and Plan of Reorganization

On September 17, 2020, Pivotal Investment Corporation II, a Delaware corporation (“Pivotal”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Pivotal, PIC II Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Pivotal (“Merger Sub”), and XL Hybrids, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“XL”).

XL (commercially known as “XL Fleet”) is a leading provider of fleet electrification solutions for Class 2-6 commercial vehicles in North America. Since its founding in 2009, XL has deployed its hybrid and plug-in hybrid electric drive systems, along with its cloud-based on-board telematics solution, on thousands of vehicles across hundreds of fleets throughout the United States and Canada. XL’s vision is to become the world leader in fleet electrification solutions, with a mission of accelerating the adoption of fleet electrification systems through cost effective, customer tailored and comprehensive solutions.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into XL, with XL surviving the merger (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, XL will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pivotal, with the securityholders of XL becoming securityholders of Pivotal. In connection with the Merger, an aggregate of 100,000,000 shares of Pivotal stock are being issued or reserved for issuance to XL securityholders.

The Merger is expected to be consummated in the fourth quarter of 2020 or first quarter of 2021, after the required approval by the stockholders of Pivotal and the fulfillment of certain other conditions described below.

The following summaries of the Merger Agreement and the other agreements to be entered into by the parties are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the Merger Agreement and agreements entered into in connection therewith. The Merger Agreement is attached as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Treatment of Company Securities

Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), XL will cause each share of XL’s preferred stock (the “XL Preferred Stock”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time to be automatically converted into shares of XL’s common stock, (the “XL Common Stock” and, together with the XL Preferred Stock, the “XL Stock”) in accordance with the terms of XL’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation. All of the shares of XL Preferred Stock so converted into shares of XL Common Stock will no longer be issued and outstanding and will cease to exist, and each holder of XL Preferred Stock will thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of XL Preferred Stock.

At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger:

•

Each share of XL Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including each share of XL Common Stock issued as a result of the conversion of XL Preferred Stock described above and any conversion or exchange of XL’s convertible promissory notes (each, a “XL Convertible Note”) described below will be automatically converted into the right to receive that number of shares of Pivotal’s common stock (“Pivotal Common Stock”) equal to the Exchange Ratio described below.

•

Each outstanding option to purchase shares of XL Common Stock, whether or not exercisable and whether or not vested, immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, an “XL Option”) will be assumed by Pivotal and converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of Pivotal Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of XL Common Stock subject to such XL Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per share of such XL Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio.

•

Each warrant, issued by XL and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, to purchase shares of XL Stock (each, an “XL Warrant”) will be automatically assumed by Pivotal and will become a warrant to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under each such XL Warrant, a number of shares of Pivotal Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of XL Stock subject to such XL Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time as adjusted pursuant to the terms of such XL Warrant and (y) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price equal to (A) the exercise price of such XL Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time as adjusted pursuant to the terms of such XL Warrant divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio.

The “Exchange Ratio” is the quotient obtained by dividing (i) 100,000,000 by (i) the sum of (a) the number of issued and outstanding shares of XL Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (including all shares of XL Common Stock issued as a result of the conversion or exchange of XL Preferred Stock and XL Convertible Notes) plus (b) the number of shares of XL Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or other exchange of XL Convertible Notes, XL Options and XL Warrants which are not converted, exchanged or exercised prior to the Effective Time and are to remain outstanding as of and immediately following the Effective Time plus (c) the number of shares of XL Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or other exchange of any other debt or equity securities of XL outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Representations and Warranties

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of each of Pivotal, Merger Sub and XL relating, among other things, to their proper organization and qualification and operations.

No Solicitation

The Merger Agreement requires that during the period from the date of the Merger Agreement and continuing until the earlier of the termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to its terms or the closing of the Merger, (a) XL will not, and will cause its controlled affiliates, employees, agents, officers, directors and representatives not to, directly or indirectly, solicit or enter into discussions or transactions with, or encourage, or provide any information to, any corporation, partnership or other entity or group concerning any merger, sale of ownership interests in XL and/or a material portion of the assets of XL or similar transaction involving XL and (b) each of Pivotal and Merger Sub will not, and will cause its respective controlled affiliates, employees, agents, officers, directors and representatives not to, directly or indirectly, solicit or enter into discussions or transactions with, or encourage, or provide any information to, any corporation, partnership or other entity or group concerning any merger, purchase of ownership interests and/or assets, recapitalization or similar business combination transaction. In addition, (i) XL will, and will cause its controlled affiliates, employees, agents, officers, directors and representatives to, immediately cease any and all existing discussions or negotiations with any person conducted heretofore with respect to any alternative merger, sale of ownership interests in and/or a material portion of the assets of XL or recapitalization or similar business combination transaction involving XL and (ii) each of Pivotal and Merger Sub will, and will cause its respective controlled affiliates, employees, agents, officers, directors and representatives to, immediately cease any and all existing discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to any alternative merger, purchase of ownership interests and/or assets, recapitalization or similar business combination transaction.

Important Additional Information and Where to Find It

IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROPOSED MERGER, PIVOTAL INTENDS TO FILE WITH THE SEC THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-4, WHICH WILL INCLUDE A PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS, AND CERTAIN OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTS, WHICH WILL BE BOTH THE PROXY STATEMENT TO BE DISTRIBUTED TO PIVOTAL’S STOCKHOLDERS IN CONNECTION WITH PIVOTAL’S SOLICITATION OF PROXIES FOR THE VOTE BY PIVOTAL’S STOCKHOLDERS WITH RESPECT TO THE MERGER AND CERTAIN OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THE MERGER AGREEMENT, AS WELL AS OTHER MATTERS THAT MAY BE DESCRIBED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT, AS WELL AS THE PROSPECTUS RELATING TO THE OFFER AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES OF PIVOTAL COMMON STOCK TO BE ISSUED IN THE MERGER. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS OF PIVOTAL AND XL ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS THAT WILL BE FILED WITH THE SEC CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS WILL BE ABLE TO OBTAIN FREE COPIES OF THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND OTHER DOCUMENTS CONTAINING IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PIVOTAL AND XL ONCE SUCH DOCUMENTS ARE FILED WITH THE SEC, THROUGH THE WEBSITE MAINTAINED BY THE SEC AT WWW.SEC.GOV. COPIES OF THE DOCUMENTS FILED WITH

THE SEC BY PIVOTAL WHEN AND IF AVAILABLE, CAN BE OBTAINED FREE OF CHARGE ON PIVOTAL’S WEBSITE AT WWW.PIVOTALAC.COM OR BY DIRECTING A WRITTEN REQUEST TO PIVOTAL INVESTMENT CORPORATION II, C/O GRAUBARD MILLER, 405 LEXINGTON AVENUE, 11^TH FLOOR, NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10174.

THIS CURRENT REPORT AND THE EXHIBITS HERETO ARE NOT A PROXY STATEMENT OR SOLICITATION OF A PROXY, CONSENT OR AUTHORIZATION WITH RESPECT TO ANY SECURITIES OR IN RESPECT OF THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS AND SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER TO SELL OR A SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO BUY THE SECURITIES OF PIVOTAL OR XL, NOR SHALL THERE BE ANY SALE OF ANY SUCH SECURITIES IN ANY STATE OR JURISDICTION IN WHICH SUCH OFFER, SOLICITATION, OR SALE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL PRIOR TO REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF SUCH STATE OR JURISDICTION.

Participants in the Solicitation

PIVOTAL AND XL AND THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, UNDER SEC RULES, MAY BE DEEMED TO BE PARTICIPANTS IN THE SOLICITATION OF PROXIES OF PIVOTAL’S STOCKHOLDERS IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS MAY OBTAIN MORE DETAILED INFORMATION REGARDING THE NAMES AND INTERESTS IN THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS OF PIVOTAL’S DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS IN PIVOTAL’S FILINGS WITH THE SEC, INCLUDING PIVOTAL’S ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019, WHICH WAS FILED WITH THE SEC ON MARCH 30, 2020. XL AND ITS DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS MAY ALSO BE DEEMED TO BE PARTICIPANTS IN THE SOLICITATION OF PROXIES FROM THE STOCKHOLDERS OF PIVOTAL IN CONNECTION WITH THE MERGER. INFORMATION REGARDING THE PERSONS WHO MAY, UNDER SEC RULES, BE DEEMED PARTICIPANTS IN THE SOLICITATION OF PROXIES TO PIVOTAL’S STOCKHOLDERS IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS WILL BE SET FORTH IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS THAT PIVOTAL INTENDS TO FILE WITH THE SEC, WHICH WILL INCLUDE A PROXY STATEMENT AND PROSPECTUS FOR THE TRANSACTIONS. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE INTERESTS OF PARTICIPANTS IN THE SOLICITATION OF PROXIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT.

SOME OF XL’S FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND DATA CONTAINED IN THE EXHIBITS HERETO DOES NOT CONFORM TO SEC REGULATION S-X IN THAT IT INCLUDES CERTAIN FINANCIAL INFORMATION NOT DERIVED IN ACCORDANCE WITH UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (“GAAP”). ACCORDINGLY, SUCH INFORMATION AND DATA WILL BE ADJUSTED AND PRESENTED DIFFERENTLY IN PIVOTAL’S FILINGS WITH THE SEC. PIVOTAL AND XL BELIEVE THAT THE PRESENTATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES PROVIDES INFORMATION THAT IS USEFUL TO INVESTORS AS IT INDICATES MORE CLEARLY THE ABILITY OF XL TO MEET CAPITAL EXPENDITURES AND WORKING CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND OTHERWISE MEET ITS OBLIGATIONS AS THEY BECOME DUE.

THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS INCLUDED IN THE EXHIBITS HERETO ARE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT ARE BASED ON ASSUMPTIONS THAT ARE INHERENTLY SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTIES AND CONTINGENCIES, MANY OF WHICH ARE BEYOND PIVOTAL’S AND XL’S CONTROL. WHILE ALL PROJECTIONS ARE NECESSARILY SPECULATIVE, PIVOTAL AND XL BELIEVE THAT THE PROSPECTIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION COVERING PERIODS BEYOND TWELVE MONTHS FROM ITS DATE OF PREPARATION CARRIES INCREASINGLY HIGHER LEVELS OF UNCERTAINTY AND SHOULD BE READ IN THAT CONTEXT. THERE WILL BE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ACTUAL AND PROJECTED RESULTS, AND ACTUAL RESULTS MAY BE MATERIALLY GREATER OR MATERIALLY LESS THAN THOSE CONTAINED IN THE PROJECTIONS. THE INCLUSION OF PROJECTIONS IN THIS REPORT AND THE EXHIBITS HERETO SHOULD NOT BE REGARDED AS AN INDICATION THAT PIVOTAL AND XL, OR THEIR REPRESENTATIVES, CONSIDERED OR CONSIDER THE PROJECTIONS TO BE A RELIABLE PREDICTION OF FUTURE EVENTS.

Forward-Looking Statements

THIS CURRENT REPORT AND THE EXHIBITS HERETO INCLUDE “FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS”. ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER FROM EXPECTATIONS, ESTIMATES AND PROJECTIONS AND, CONSEQUENTLY, YOU SHOULD NOT RELY ON THESE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AS PREDICTIONS OF FUTURE EVENTS. WORDS SUCH AS “EXPECT,” “ESTIMATE,” “PROJECT,” “BUDGET,” “FORECAST,” “ANTICIPATE,” “INTEND,” “PLAN,” “MAY,” “WILL,” “COULD,” “SHOULD,” “BELIEVES,” “PREDICTS,” “POTENTIAL,” “CONTINUE,” AND SIMILAR EXPRESSIONS ARE INTENDED TO IDENTIFY SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.

IN ADDITION TO FACTORS PREVIOUSLY DISCLOSED IN PIVOTAL’S REPORTS FILED WITH THE SEC AND THOSE IDENTIFIED ELSEWHERE IN THIS COMMUNICATION, THE FOLLOWING FACTORS, AMONG OTHERS, COULD CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS OR HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE: ABILITY OF THE PARTIES TO SATISFY THE CLOSING CONDITIONS TO THE MERGER, INCLUDING APPROVAL BY STOCKHOLDERS OF PIVOTAL AND XL ON THE EXPECTED TERMS AND SCHEDULE AND THE RISK THAT ANY THIRD-PARTY APPROVALS OR CONSENTS REQUIRED FOR THE MERGER ARE NOT OBTAINED OR ARE OBTAINED SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS THAT ARE NOT ANTICIPATED; DELAY IN CLOSING THE MERGER; FAILURE TO REALIZE THE BENEFITS EXPECTED FROM THE PROPOSED MERGER; THE EFFECTS OF PENDING AND FUTURE LEGISLATION; RISKS RELATED TO DISRUPTION OF MANAGEMENT TIME FROM ONGOING BUSINESS OPERATIONS DUE TO THE PROPOSED MERGER; BUSINESS DISRUPTION FOLLOWING THE MERGER; RISKS RELATED TO XL’S BUSINESS, INCLUDING THE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE NATURE OF ITS INDUSTRY; LITIGATION, COMPLAINTS, PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS AND/OR ADVERSE PUBLICITY; COST INCREASES OR SHORTAGES IN COMPONENTS NECESSARY FOR XL’S PRODUCTS AND SERVICES; PRIVACY AND DATA PROTECTION LAWS, PRIVACY OR DATA BREACHES, OR THE LOSS OF DATA; THE IMPACT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON XL’S BUSINESS; AND MACROECONOMIC FACTORS BEYOND PIVOTAL’S OR XL’S CONTROL.

NEITHER PIVOTAL NOR XL UNDERTAKE ANY OBLIGATION TO UPDATE OR REVISE ANY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, WHETHER AS A RESULT OF NEW INFORMATION, FUTURE EVENTS OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LAW. IMPORTANT FACTORS, AMONG OTHERS, THAT MAY AFFECT ACTUAL RESULTS INCLUDE XL’S ABILITY TO EXECUTE ON ITS BUSINESS PLANS AND XL’S ESTIMATES OF EXPENSES AND FUTURE REVENUES AND PROFITABILITY. OTHER FACTORS INCLUDE THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS DO NOT CLOSE, INCLUDING DUE TO THE FAILURE TO RECEIVE REQUIRED SECURITY HOLDER APPROVALS, OR THE FAILURE OF OTHER CLOSING CONDITIONS.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THESE AND OTHER RISK FACTORS WILL BE CONTAINED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-4 AND PIVOTAL’S OTHER FILINGS WITH THE SEC. ALL SUBSEQUENT WRITTEN AND ORAL FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS CONCERNING PIVOTAL AND XL, THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS OR OTHER MATTERS AND ATTRIBUTABLE TO PIVOTAL AND XL OR ANY PERSON ACTING ON THEIR BEHALF ARE EXPRESSLY QUALIFIED IN THEIR ENTIRETY BY THE CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS ABOVE. READERS ARE CAUTIONED NOT TO PLACE UNDUE RELIANCE UPON ANY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, WHICH SPEAK ONLY AS OF THE DATE MADE. NEITHER PIVOTAL NOR XL UNDERTAKE OR ACCEPT ANY OBLIGATION OR UNDERTAKING TO RELEASE PUBLICLY ANY UPDATES OR REVISIONS TO ANY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT TO REFLECT ANY CHANGE IN THEIR EXPECTATIONS OR ANY CHANGE IN EVENTS, CONDITIONS OR CIRCUMSTANCES ON WHICH ANY SUCH STATEMENT IS BASED, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
