| Amendment Description | This Amendment No. 1 to Form 8-K (this “Amendment No. 1”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by ChargePoint Holdings, Inc. on September 1, 2021 (the “Original Report”) to correct the EDGAR tag associated with the Original Report. While the Original Report was available on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s EDGAR site at 4:16 p.m. Eastern Time, because of a technical error, the Original Report incorrectly appeared on the EDGAR system as responsive to Item 2.01, “Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.” Except as noted above, this Amendment No. 1 does not modify or update the Original Report or Exhibit 99.1 thereto. |
