EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF

CITIC CAPITAL ACQUISITION CORP.

(A CAYMAN ISLANDS EXEMPTED COMPANY)

PROSPECTUS FOR

133,906,130 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AND

21,320,000 REDEEMABLE WARRANTS

CITIC CAPITAL ACQUISITION CORP.

(TO BE RENAMED “QUANERGY SYSTEMS, INC.”

FOLLOWING ITS DOMESTICATION

AS A CORPORATION INCORPORATED IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE,

IN CONNECTION WITH THE BUSINESS COMBINATION DESCRIBED HEREIN)

The board of directors of CITIC Capital Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated with limited liability (“CCAC” and, after the Domestication as described below, “Quanergy PubCo”), has unanimously approved (1) the domestication of CCAC as a Delaware corporation (which will be renamed Quanergy Systems, Inc. prior to the consummation of the Business Combination) (the “Domestication”); (2) the merger of CITIC Capital Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of CCAC, with and into Quanergy Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Quanergy”) (the “Merger”, and, together with the Domestication, the “Business Combination”), with Quanergy surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Quanergy PubCo, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 21, 2021, as amended on June 28, 2021, by and among CCAC, Merger Sub and Quanergy, attached to this proxy statement / prospectus as Annex A and Annex B (collectively, the “Merger Agreement”), as more fully described elsewhere in this proxy statement / prospectus; and (3) the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and documents related thereto. In connection with the Business Combination, CCAC will change its name to “Quanergy Systems, Inc.” Quanergy PubCo and CCAC, following the Domestication, are both referred to herein as the Company.

As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication, (1) each of the then issued 6,900,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per Class B ordinary share, of CCAC (the “CCAC Class B ordinary shares”) will convert automatically, on a

one-for-one

basis, into a CCAC Class A ordinary share (as defined below), (2) immediately following the conversion described in clause (1), each of the then issued 27,600,000 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per Class A ordinary share, of CCAC (the “CCAC Class A ordinary shares”), will convert automatically, on a

one-for-one

basis, into a share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Quanergy PubCo (the “Quanergy PubCo common stock”), (3) each of the then issued and outstanding 21,320,000 redeemable warrants of CCAC (the “CCAC warrants”) will convert automatically into a redeemable warrant to purchase one share of Quanergy PubCo common stock (the “Quanergy PubCo warrants”) pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, dated February 10, 2020 (the “Warrant Agreement”), between CCAC and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), as warrant agent, and (4) each of the then issued and outstanding units of CCAC that have not been previously separated into the underlying CCAC Class A ordinary shares and underlying CCAC warrants upon the request of the holder thereof (the “CCAC units”), will be cancelled and will entitle the holder thereof to one share of Quanergy PubCo common stock and

one-half

of one Quanergy PubCo warrant. No fractional Quanergy PubCo warrants will be issued upon separation of the CCAC units. Accordingly, this proxy statement / prospectus covers the 27,600,000 shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock and 13,800,000 Quanergy PubCo warrants to be issued in the Domestication in respect of the CCAC Class A ordinary shares and CCAC warrants which were initially included in the CCAC Units sold in CCAC’s initial public offering.

As a result of and upon the Closing (as defined below), among other things, all outstanding shares of Quanergy Capital Stock (as defined below) (after giving effect to the conversion of all of 2023 Quanergy Convertible Notes (as defined below) into Quanergy common stock) as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, and, together with shares of Quanergy common stock reserved in respect of Quanergy Awards and Quanergy Warrants (each as defined below and as described further in the immediately succeeding paragraphs) outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing that will be converted into awards or warrants, as the case may be, based on Quanergy PubCo common stock, will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, or the

Table of Contents

reservation of, an aggregate of 97,000,000 shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock (at a deemed value of $10.00 per share) or, as applicable, shares underlying awards or warrants, as the case may be, based on Quanergy PubCo common stock, representing a fully-diluted

pre-transaction

equity value of Quanergy of $970 million (the “Aggregate Merger Consideration”). The portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration reflecting the conversion of the Quanergy Awards and Quanergy Warrants is calculated assuming that all Quanergy PubCo Options (defined below) and Quanergy PubCo Converted Warrants (defined below) are

net-settled

(although Quanergy PubCo Options may, by their terms, be cash-settled, resulting in additional dilution).

With respect to Quanergy PubCo Converted Warrants received in respect of warrants to purchase shares of Quanergy common stock (“Quanergy Warrants”) that are outstanding immediately prior to the Closing and cash exercised after the Closing, up to 12,650,163 additional shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock may be issued. Accordingly, this proxy statement / prospectus also relates to the issuance by Quanergy PubCo of such 12,650,163 shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock issued upon the exercise of the Quanergy Warrants following the Merger described herein.

All (i) options to purchase shares of Quanergy common stock (“Quanergy Options”) and (ii) Quanergy Restricted Stock Unit Awards outstanding as of immediately prior to the Merger (together, the “Quanergy Awards”) will be converted into (a) options to purchase shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock (��Quanergy PubCo Options”) and (b) restricted shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock (“Quanergy PubCo Restricted Stock”), respectively. Accordingly, this proxy statement / prospectus also relates to the issuance by Quanergy PubCo of 10,113,352 Quanergy PubCo Restricted Stock in the Merger and 4,178,611 shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock upon the exercise of the Quanergy PubCo Options following the Merger.

one-half

and the shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock issued as a matter of law upon the conversion thereof on the effective date of the Domestication. For further details, see “

.”

You will be asked to consider and vote upon (1) a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution and adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 21, 2021 as amended on June 28, 2021 (collectively, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among CCAC, Merger Sub and Quanergy (the “BCA Proposal”), (2) a proposal to approve by special resolution the change of CCAC’s jurisdiction of incorporation by deregistering as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and continuing and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Domestication Proposal”), (3) a proposal to approve by special resolution the proposed new certificate of incorporation (“Proposed Certificate of Incorporation”) and the proposed new bylaws (“Proposed Bylaws”) of CCAC (the “Organizational Documents Proposal”), (4) seven separate proposals to approve, by special resolution, material differences between the Cayman Constitutional Documents and the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws (collectively, the “Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals”), (5) a proposal, to approve by ordinary resolution, for purposes of complying with the applicable provisions of NYSE Listing Rule 312.03, the issuance of Quanergy PubCo common stock to (a) the PIPE Investors (as defined below), pursuant to the PIPE Investment (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement / prospectus) and (b) certain stockholders of Quanergy pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the “Stock Issuance Proposal”), (6) a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution and adopt the Quanergy PubCo 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan Proposal”), (7) a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution the Quanergy PubCo 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP Proposal”), and (8) a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution the adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for the approval of one or more proposals at the extraordinary general meeting (the “Adjournment Proposal”). The Business Combination will be consummated only if the BCA Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal, the Stock Issuance Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the ESPP Proposal (collectively, the “Condition Precedent Proposals”) are approved at the extraordinary general meeting. Each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. The Adjournment Proposal and the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals are not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal. Each of these proposals is more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement / prospectus, which each shareholder is encouraged to read carefully and in its entirety.

As a result of and upon the Closing, among other things, all outstanding shares of Quanergy Capital Stock (after giving effect to the conversion of all of 2023 Quanergy Convertible Notes into Quanergy common stock) as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, and, together with shares of Quanergy common stock reserved in respect of Quanergy Awards and Quanergy Warrants outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing that will be converted into awards or warrants, as the case may be, based on Quanergy PubCo common stock, will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive an aggregate of 97,000,000 shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock (at a deemed value of $10.00 per share) (which, in the case of Quanergy Awards and Quanergy Warrants, will be shares underlying awards based on Quanergy PubCo common stock) representing a fully-diluted

pre-transaction

net-settled

(although Quanergy PubCo Options may by their terms be cash-settled, resulting in additional dilution).

Table of Contents

CCAC has entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain institutional and accredited investors, including, among others, certain existing equityholders of Quanergy (the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed to purchase, in the aggregate, 4,000,000 shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock at $10.00 per share for an aggregate commitment amount of $40 million (the “PIPE Investment Amount”). The closings under the Subscription Agreements will occur substantially concurrently with the Closing. In connection with the Business Combination, certain other related agreements have been, or will be entered into on or prior to the date of the Closing, including (i) the Sponsor Support Agreement (as defined below), (ii) the Quanergy Holders Support Agreement (as defined below), (iii) the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below), and (iv) the

Lock-up

Agreement. For additional information, see “

BCA Proposal—Related Agreements

.”

Pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, a holder (a “public shareholder”) of public shares, which excludes shares held by the Sponsor, may request that CCAC redeem all or a portion of such shareholder’s public shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. Holders of units must elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If holders hold their units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact the transfer agent directly and instruct it to do so.

Public shareholders may elect to redeem their public shares even if they vote “for” the BCA Proposal or any other Condition Precedent Proposal

. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the public shares will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank and the public shares will not be redeemed for cash, even if their holders have properly exercised redemption rights with respect to such public shares. If the Business Combination is consummated, and if a public shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the public shares that it holds and timely delivers the certificates for its shares (if any) along with the redemption forms to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, CCAC’s transfer agent, Quanergy PubCo will redeem such public shares for a

per-share

price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the trust account established at the consummation of CCAC’s initial public offering (the “trust account”), calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, as of June 30, 2021, this would have amounted to approximately $10.07 per issued and outstanding public share. If a public shareholder exercises its redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its public shares for cash and will no longer own public shares. The redemption takes place following the Domestication and, accordingly, it is shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock that will be redeemed immediately after consummation of the Business Combination. See “

Extraordinary General Meeting of CCAC—Redemption Rights

” in the accompanying proxy statement / prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your public shares for cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such public shareholder or any other person with whom such public shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the public shares. Accordingly, if a public shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 20% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 20% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

The Sponsor and each director and each officer of CCAC have agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and to waive their redemption rights in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination with respect to any CCAC ordinary shares held by them, in the case of the Sponsor, subject also to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Sponsor Support Agreement, dated as of June 21, 2021, a copy of which is attached as Annex C to this proxy statement / prospectus (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”). The CCAC ordinary shares held by the Sponsor will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the

per-share

redemption price. As of the date of the accompanying proxy statement / prospectus, the Sponsor (whose members include CCAC’s directors and officers) owns 20% of the issued CCAC ordinary shares.

Table of Contents

Under the Quanergy Holders Support Agreement (as defined below), certain stockholders of Quanergy have agreed to, among other things, on the fifth Business Day (as defined in the Merger Agreement) following the date at which the SEC declares effective the registration statement on

Form S-4

of which this proxy statement / prospectus is a part, to execute and deliver a written consent with respect to the outstanding shares of Quanergy common stock and preferred stock held by such stockholders of Quanergy adopting the Merger Agreement and related transactions and approving the Business Combination, a copy of which is attached as Annex D to this proxy statement / prospectus (the “Quanergy Holders Support Agreement”). The shares of Quanergy common stock and preferred stock that are owned by the stockholders of Quanergy and subject to the Quanergy Holders Support Agreements represent a majority of the outstanding voting power of Quanergy common stock and preferred stock (on an

as-converted

basis).

The Merger Agreement provides that the obligations of Quanergy to consummate the Merger are conditioned on, among other things, that as of the Closing, the amount of cash available in the trust account, after deducting the amount required to satisfy CCAC’s obligations to its shareholders that exercise their rights to redeem their public shares pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents (if any) plus the PIPE Investment Amount actually received by CCAC substantially concurrently with the Closing, is at least equal to $175,000,000. If such condition is not met, and such condition is not or cannot be waived under the terms of the Merger Agreement, then the Merger Agreement could terminate and the proposed Business Combination may not be consummated. In addition, pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, in no event will CCAC redeem public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001.

The Merger Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions, including, among others, (i) approval of the Business Combination and related agreements and transactions by the respective shareholders of CCAC and Quanergy, (ii) effectiveness of the registration statement on

Form S-4

of which this proxy statement / prospectus is a part, (iii) expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act and the achievement of CFIUS clearance (as contemplated by the Merger Agreement), (iv) receipt of approval for listing on the NYSE of the shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock to be issued in connection with the Merger, (v) that, after redemption, CCAC’s net tangible assets shall be no less than $5,000,001 upon Closing and (vi) the absence of certain specified injunctions. In addition, Quanergy’s obligations to consummate the Merger are also conditioned on, among other things, the satisfaction or waiver of the Minimum Cash Condition (as defined in the Merger Agreement). There can be no assurance that the parties to the Merger Agreement would waive any such provision of the Merger Agreement.

The CCAC units, CCAC Class A ordinary shares and CCAC warrants are currently listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbols “CCAC.U,” “CCAC” and “CCAC WS,” respectively. CCAC will apply for listing, to be effective at the time of the Business Combination, of Quanergy PubCo common stock and Quanergy PubCo warrants on the NYSE under the proposed symbols “QNGY” and “QNGY WS”, respectively. Quanergy PubCo will not have units traded. It is a condition of the consummation of the Business Combination that CCAC receives confirmation from the NYSE that the securities have been approved for listing on the NYSE, but there can be no assurance such listing conditions will be met or that CCAC will obtain such confirmation from the NYSE. If such listing conditions are not met or if such confirmation is not obtained, the Business Combination will not be consummated unless the NYSE listing condition set forth in the Merger Agreement is waived.

CCAC is providing the accompanying proxy statement / prospectus and accompanying proxy card to CCAC’s shareholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the extraordinary general meeting and at any adjournments of the extraordinary general meeting. Information about the extraordinary general meeting, the Business Combination and other related business to be considered by CCAC’s shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting is included in the accompanying proxy statement / prospectus.

After careful consideration, the CCAC Board has unanimously approved the Business Combination and unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” adoption of the Merger Agreement, and approval of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, and “FOR” all other proposals presented to CCAC’s shareholders in the accompanying proxy statement / prospectus. When you consider the recommendation of these proposals by the CCAC Board, you should keep in mind that CCAC’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “

BCA Proposal—Interests of CCAC’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

” in the accompanying proxy statement / prospectus for a further discussion of these considerations.

The approval of each of the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal and the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of at least

two-thirds

of the CCAC ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the quorate extraordinary general meeting. The approval of each of the BCA Proposal, the Stock Issuance Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the ESSP Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal require the affirmative vote of a majority of the CCAC ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the quorate extraordinary general meeting.

Your vote is very important.

Whether or not you plan to attend the extraordinary general meeting, please vote as soon as possible by following the instructions in the accompanying proxy statement / prospectus to make sure that your shares are represented at the extraordinary general meeting. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the extraordinary general meeting. The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will be consummated only if the Condition Precedent Proposals are approved at the extraordinary general meeting. Each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. The Adjournment Proposal and the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals are not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal set forth in the accompanying proxy statement / prospectus.

If you sign, date and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted FOR each of the proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting. If you fail to return your proxy card or fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote, and do not attend the extraordinary general meeting in person, the effect will be, among other things, that your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the extraordinary general meeting and will not be voted. An abstention or broker

non-vote

will be counted towards the quorum requirement but will not count as a vote cast at the extraordinary general meeting. If you are a shareholder of record and you attend the extraordinary general meeting and wish to vote in person, you may withdraw your proxy and vote in person.

TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS, YOU MUST DEMAND IN WRITING THAT YOUR PUBLIC SHARES ARE REDEEMED FOR A PRO RATA PORTION OF THE FUNDS HELD IN THE TRUST ACCOUNT AND TENDER YOUR PUBLIC SHARES TO CCAC’S TRANSFER AGENT AT LEAST TWO BUSINESS DAYS PRIOR TO THE VOTE AT THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING.

Only holders of record of CCAC ordinary shares at the close of business on are entitled to notice of and to vote at and to have their votes counted at the extraordinary general meeting and any adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting.

This proxy statement / prospectus and accompanying proxy card is being provided to CCAC’s shareholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the extraordinary general meeting and at any adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting.

Whether or not you plan to attend the extraordinary general meeting, all of CCAC’s shareholders are urged to read this proxy statement / prospectus, including the Annexes and the documents referred to herein, carefully and in their entirety. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described under the heading “

Risk Factors

” beginning on page 58 of this proxy statement / prospectus.

After careful consideration, the CCAC Board has unanimously approved the Business Combination and unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” adoption of the Merger Agreement, and approval of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, and “FOR” all other proposals presented to CCAC’s shareholders in this proxy statement / prospectus. When you consider the recommendation of these proposals by the CCAC Board, you should keep in mind that CCAC’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “

BCA Proposal—Interests of CCAC’s Directors and Officers

in the Business Combination

” in this proxy statement / prospectus for a further discussion of these considerations.

Pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, a holder of public shares (as defined herein) (a “public shareholder”) may request of CCAC that Quanergy PubCo redeem all or a portion of its public shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. As a holder of public shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

(i)

(a) hold public shares, or (b) if you hold public shares through units, you elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares;

(ii)

submit a written request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, CCAC’s transfer agent (“Continental”), that Quanergy PubCo redeem all or a portion of your public shares for cash; and

(iii)

deliver your certificates for public shares (if any) along with the redemption forms to Continental, physically or electronically through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).

Holders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their public shares in the manner described above prior to , Eastern Time, on , 2021 (two business days before the extraordinary general meeting) in order for their shares to be redeemed.

Holders of units must elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If holders hold their units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact Continental, CCAC’s transfer agent, directly and instruct them to do so. Public shareholders may elect to redeem public shares regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the BCA Proposal. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the public shares will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank and the public shares will not be redeemed for cash, even if their holders have properly exercised redemption rights with respect to such public shares.

If the Business Combination is consummated, and if a public shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the public shares that it holds and timely delivers its shares to Continental, CCAC’s

Table of Contents

transfer agent, Quanergy PubCo will redeem such public shares for a

per-share

price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the trust account established at the consummation of CCAC’s initial public offering (the “trust account”), calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, as of June 30, 2021, this would have amounted to approximately $10.07 per issued public share. If a public shareholder exercises its redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its public shares for cash and will no longer own public shares. The redemption takes place following the Domestication and, accordingly, it is shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock that will be redeemed promptly after consummation of the Business Combination. See “

Extraordinary General Meeting of CCAC—Redemption Rights

” in this proxy statement / prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your public shares for cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such public shareholder or any other person with whom such public shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the public shares. Accordingly, if a public shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 20% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 20% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

CITIC Capital Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and shareholder of CCAC (the “Sponsor”), and each director of CCAC have agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and to waive their redemption rights in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination with respect to any CCAC ordinary shares held by them, in the case of the Sponsor, subject also to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Sponsor Support Agreement, dated as of June 21, 2021, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement / prospectus as Annex C (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”). The CCAC ordinary shares held by the Sponsor will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the

per-share

redemption price. As of the date of the accompanying proxy statement / prospectus, the Sponsor (whose members include CCAC’s directors and officers) owns 20% of the issued CCAC ordinary shares.

The Merger Agreement provides that the obligations of Quanergy to consummate the Merger are conditioned on, among other things, that as of Closing, the amount of cash available in the trust account, after deducting the amount required to satisfy CCAC’s obligations to its shareholders (if any) that exercise their rights to redeem their public shares pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents (such amount, the “Trust Amount”) plus the PIPE Investment Amount actually received by CCAC substantially concurrently with the Closing, is at least equal to $175,000,000. If such condition is not met, and such condition is not or cannot be waived under the terms of the Merger Agreement, then the Merger Agreement could terminate and the proposed Business Combination may not be consummated. In addition, pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, in no event will CCAC redeem public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001.

The Merger Agreement is also subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain other customary closing conditions as described in the accompanying proxy statement / prospectus. There can be no assurance that the parties to the Merger Agreement would waive any such conditions in of the Merger Agreement.

basis, into a CCAC Class A ordinary share, (2) immediately following the conversion described in clause (1), each of the then issued CCAC Class A ordinary shares will convert automatically, on a

one-for-one

basis, into a share of Quanergy PubCo common stock; (3) each of the then issued and outstanding CCAC warrants will convert automatically into a Quanergy PubCo warrant, pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, dated as of February 10, 2020, between CCAC and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, and (4) each of the then issued and outstanding CCAC units that have not been previously separated into the underlying CCAC Class A ordinary shares and underlying CCAC warrants upon the request of the holder thereof, will be cancelled and will entitle the holder thereof to one share of Quanergy PubCo common stock and

one-half

of one Quanergy PubCo warrant. No fractional Quanergy PubCo warrants will be issued upon separation of the CCAC units. See “

Domestication Proposal

” for additional information.

ESPP Proposal

”.

CCAC will hold the extraordinary general meeting to consider and vote upon these proposals. This proxy statement / prospectus contains important information about the Business Combination and the other matters to be acted upon at the extraordinary general meeting. Shareholders of CCAC should read it carefully.

After careful consideration, the CCAC Board has determined that the BCA Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal, each of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, the Stock Issuance Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are in the best interests of CCAC and its shareholders and unanimously recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” each of those proposals.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of CCAC’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of CCAC and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, CCAC’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “

BCA Proposal—Interests of CCAC’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Q:	Are there interests and other conflicts of interests that CCAC’s current officers and directors may have in the Business Combination?

CCAC’s directors and officers may have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of CCAC shareholders and warrant holders generally. CCAC’s directors, Mr. Arif, Mr. Ross Haghighat and Mr. Mark B. Segall, have a direct or indirect economic interest in the private placement warrants and/or in the 6,900,000 CCAC Class B ordinary shares, as compensation for their directorship in CCAC. Additionally, Affiliates of our Sponsor and our directors also own equity interests in Quanergy as of the date of this proxy statement / prospectus. The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of CCAC’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of CCAC and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, CCAC’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “

BCA Proposal—Interests of CCAC’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Q:	Are the proposals conditioned on one another?

Yes. The Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of each of the Condition Precedent Proposals at the extraordinary general meeting. Each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. The Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals and the Adjournment Proposal are not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal.

Table of Contents

Q:	Why is CCAC proposing the Business Combination?

A:	CCAC was organized to effect a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, with one or more businesses or entities.

Based on its due diligence investigations of Quanergy and the industry in which it operates, including the financial and other information provided by Quanergy in the course of CCAC’s due diligence investigations, the CCAC Board believes that the Business Combination with Quanergy is in the best interests of CCAC and its shareholders and presents an opportunity to increase shareholder value. However, there can be no assurances of this. See “

BCA Proposal—CCAC Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

” for additional information.

Q:	What material positive and negative factors did the CCAC Board consider in connection with the Business Combination?

CCAC Board considered a number of factors pertaining to the Business Combination as generally supporting its decision to enter into the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including, but not limited to:

•

the due diligence conducted by CCAC’s management and CCAC Board

•

Quanergy’s large and growing addressable market;

•

Quanergy’s leading technology and unique business model;

•

Quanergy’s experienced and diverse management team, which is expected to remain with Quanergy PubCo to seek to execute the execute and strategic and growth goals of the combined business;

•

Quanergy’s high quality strategic investors, including strategic investments by Aptiv PLC, Daimler AG, Enterprise Holdings, Inc., Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and Sensata Technologies Holdings plc.;

•

Quanergy’s potential as a public company/the public trading market valuation of comparable companies;

•

the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement;

•

the CCAC Board received a fairness opinion from Duff & Phelps LLP as to the fairness of the consideration to be paid by CCAC to the stockholders of Quanergy in the Business Combination;

•

the financial involvement and commitment of the Subscription Investors;

•

Quanergy’s attractiveness as a target; and

•

an evaluation of the alternative targets available to CCAC/ other business combination opportunities reasonably available to CCAC.

Although the CCAC Board believes that the Business Combination with Quanergy presents a unique business combination opportunity and is in the best interests of CCAC and shareholders, the CCAC Board also considered a variety of uncertainties, risks and other potentially negative reasons relevant to the business combination, including the following:

•

macroeconomic uncertainties;

•

that Quanergy’s business plan and projections may not be achieved within the expected timeframe;

•

that the benefits of the Business Combination may not be achieved;

•

that Quanergy’s growth initiatives may not be achieved;

•

the liquidation risk to CCAC, if CCAC does not consummate a business combination by February 13, 2022 or any extended period approved in accordance with the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of CCAC;

Table of Contents

•

the stockholder vote required for the Business Combination;

•

the risk that certain closing conditions are out of CCAC’s control;

•

that CCAC stockholders will hold a minority position in the Combined Company;

•

litigation risk with respect to the Business Combination;

•

fees and expenses of the Business Combination;

•

potential redemptions by CCAC stockholders;

•

potential inability to retain the Combined Company’s NYSE listing following the Business Combination;

•

valuation risk due to market volatility, recent stock run-ups, divergences in valuation ratios relative to those seen during traditional markets, high short interest or short squeezes, and strong and atypical retail investor interest in the markets may impact the demand for Quanergy PubCo common stock;

•

potential conflicts of interests that certain officers and directors may have in the Business Combination;

•

potential distraction to Quanergy’s operations and business due to the announcement of the Business Combination;

•

LiDAR sensor market is becoming increasingly competitive and global;

•

CCAC may be forced to consummate the Business Combination even if it is no longer in the shareholders’ best interests.

After considering the foregoing, CCAC Board concluded, in its business judgment, that the potential benefits to CCAC and its stockholders relating to the Business Combination outweighed the potentially negative factors relating to the Business Combination. CCAC Board did not attempt to quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it took into account in reaching its decision.

These factors are discussed in greater detail in the section entitled “

BCA Proposal—CCAC Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

,” as well as in the sections entitled “

Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination

” and “

Risk Factors—Risks Related to Quanergy’s Business and Industry

.”

Q:	Did the CCAC Board obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination?

Yes. The CCAC Board received a fairness opinion from Duff & Phelps LLP (“Duff & Phelps”) as to the fairness, from a financial point of view and as of the date of such opinion, of the consideration to be paid by CCAC to the stockholders of Quanergy in the Business Combination. Please see the section entitled “

BCA Proposal – Recommendation of the CCAC Board

”.

Q:	What will the stockholders of Quanergy receive in return for CCAC’s acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Quanergy?

As a result of and upon the Closing, among other things, all outstanding shares of Quanergy Capital Stock (after giving effect to the conversion of all of 2023 Quanergy Convertible Notes into Quanergy common stock) as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, together with shares of Quanergy common stock reserved in respect of Quanergy Awards and Quanergy Warrants outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing that will be converted into awards and warrants based on Quanergy PubCo common stock, will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, or the reservation of, an aggregate of 97,000,000 shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock (at a deemed value of $10.00 per share) or, as applicable, shares underlying awards and warrants based on Quanergy PubCo common stock, representing a

pre-transaction

fully-diluted equity value of Quanergy of $970 million. The portion of the Aggregate Merger

Table of Contents

Consideration reflecting the conversion of the Quanergy Awards and Quanergy Warrants is calculated assuming that all Quanergy PubCo Options and Quanergy PubCo Converted Warrants are

net-settled

(although Quanergy PubCo Options may by their terms be cash-settled, resulting in additional dilution). For further details, see “

BCA Proposal—The Merger Agreement—Consideration—Aggregate Merger Consideration

.”

Q:	What equity stake will current CCAC shareholders and the stockholders of Quanergy hold in Quanergy PubCo immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination?

(without taking into account any public shares held by the stockholders of Quanergy prior to the consummation of the Business Combination or purchased in the PIPE Investment) are expected to own approximately 71.6% of the outstanding Quanergy PubCo common stock, (3) the Sponsor and related parties are expected to collectively own approximately 5.1% of the outstanding Quanergy PubCo common stock and (4) the PIPE Investors are expected to own approximately 3.0% of the outstanding Quanergy PubCo common stock. These percentages assume (i) that no public shareholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination, (ii) (a) the vesting of all shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock received in respect of the Quanergy PubCo Restricted Shares, and (b) the vesting and exercise of all Quanergy PubCo Options for shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock (assuming that all Quanergy PubCo Options are

net-settled),

(c) the exercise of all Quanergy PubCo Converted Warrants for shares of Quanergy Pubco common stock (assuming that all Quanergy PubCo Converted Warrants are

net-settled),

(d) the vesting of all shares of Quanergy Restricted Stock Unit Awards and the settlement of all Adjusted Restricted Stock Unit Awards received in respect of the Quanergy Restricted Stock Unit Awards into shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock, and (e) the conversion of all of 2023 Quanergy Convertible Notes into Quanergy common stock (assuming the conversion date of September 30, 2021), (iii) that Quanergy PubCo issues shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock as the Aggregate Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger Agreement, which in the aggregate equals 97,000,000 shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock (assuming that all Quanergy PubCo Options and Quanergy PubCo Converted Warrants are

net-settled),

(iv) that Quanergy PubCo issues 4,000,000 shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock to the PIPE Investors pursuant to the PIPE Investment and (v) subject to the foregoing assumptions, immediately prior to the Closing, Quanergy has the same capitalization as it had as of June 8, 2021. If the actual facts are different from these assumptions, the percentage ownership retained by the Company’s existing shareholders in the combined company will be different.

The following table illustrates varying ownership levels in Quanergy PubCo immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination based on the assumptions above.


	Assuming No Redemptions (Shares)		% Ownership			Assuming Interim Redemptions (Shares)		% Ownership			Assuming Maximum Redemptions (Shares)		% Ownership
Quanergy stockholders		97,000,000		71.6	%		97,000,000		75.5	%		97,000,000		80.0	%

Q:	How has the announcement of the Business Combination affected the trading price of the CCAC Class A ordinary shares?

A:	On June 20, 2021, the trading date before the public announcement of the Business Combination, CCAC’s public units, CCAC Class A ordinary shares and warrants closed at $10.39, $9.96 and $0.98, respectively.

Q:	Will the Company obtain new financing in connection with the Business Combination?

Yes. The PIPE Investors have agreed to purchase in the aggregate approximately 4,000,000 shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock, for approximately $40,000,000 of gross proceeds, in the PIPE Investment. The PIPE Investment is contingent upon, among other things, the closing of the Business Combination. See “

BCA Proposal—Related Agreements—Subscription Agreements

.”

Q:	Why is CCAC proposing the Domestication?

The CCAC Board believes that there are significant advantages to us that will arise as a result of a change of CCAC’s domicile to Delaware. Further, the CCAC Board believes that any direct benefit that the DGCL provides to a corporation also indirectly benefits its stockholders, who are the owners of the corporation. The CCAC Board believes that there are several reasons why a registration by way of continuation as a corporation in Delaware is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, including (i) the prominence, predictability and flexibility of the DGCL, (ii) Delaware’s well-established principles of corporate governance and (iii) the increased ability for Delaware corporations to attract and retain qualified directors. Each of the foregoing are discussed in greater detail in the section entitled “

Domestication Proposal—Reasons for the Domestication

.”

To effect the Domestication, CCAC will file a notice of deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and file a certificate of incorporation and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which CCAC will be domesticated and continue as a Delaware corporation.

The approval of the Domestication Proposal is a condition to the closing of the Merger under the Merger Agreement. The approval of the Domestication Proposal requires a special resolution under the Cayman Islands Companies Law, being the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of at least

two-thirds

of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the quorate extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions and broker

non-votes,

while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

Q:	What amendments will be made to the current constitutional documents of CCAC?

The consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned, among other things, on the Domestication. Accordingly, in addition to voting on the Business Combination, CCAC’s shareholders are also being asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Domestication and replace the Cayman Constitutional Documents, in each case, under the Cayman Islands Companies Law, with the Proposed Organizational Documents, in each case, under the DGCL, which differ materially from the Cayman Constitutional Documents in the following respects:


	Cayman Constitutional Documents	Proposed Organizational Documents
Authorized Shares (Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4A)	The Cayman Constitutional Documents authorize 221,000,000 shares, divided into 200,000,000 CCAC Class A ordinary shares, 20,000,000 CCAC Class B ordinary shares and 1,000,000 CCAC Preference Shares.	The Proposed Organizational Documents authorize 310,000,000 shares, consisting of Quanergy PubCo shares of 300,000,000 common stock and 10,000,000 shares of Quanergy PubCo preferred stock.

	See paragraph 5 of the Existing Memorandum.	See Article IV of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation.

Table of Contents


	Cayman Constitutional Documents	Proposed Organizational Documents
Exclusive Forum Provision (Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4B)	The Cayman Constitutional Documents do not contain a provision adopting an exclusive forum for certain shareholder litigation.	The Proposed Organizational Documents adopt (i) Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation and (ii) the federal district courts of the United States of America as the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. These provisions are inapplicable to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act and any stockholder litigation for which the federal courts of the United States of America have exclusive jurisdiction.

		See Article XII of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation.

Takeovers by Interested Stockholders (Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4C)	The Cayman Constitutional Documents do not provide restrictions on takeovers of CCAC by a related shareholder following a business combination.	The Proposed Organizational Documents will have Quanergy PubCo elect not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL relating to takeovers by interested stockholders but will provide other similar restrictions regarding takeovers by interested stockholders.

		See Article X of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation.

Adoption of Supermajority Vote Requirement to Amend the Proposed Organizational Documents (Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4D)	The Cayman Constitutional Documents provide that amendments to change CCAC’s name, alter or add to the Articles or certain sections of the Memorandum or to reduce its share capital or any capital redemption reserve fund may be made by a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at a general meeting.	The Proposed Organizational Documents require the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the voting power of the outstanding shares to (i) adopt, amend or repeal the Proposed Bylaws, and to (ii) amend, alter, repeal or rescind Articles V(B), VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII and XIII of the Certificate of Incorporation.

	See Article 18.3 of the Cayman Constitutional Documents.	See Article XIII of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation.

Table of Contents


	Cayman Constitutional Documents	Proposed Organizational Documents
Removal of Directors (Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4E)	The Cayman Constitutional Documents provide that before a Business Combination, holders of Class B Shares may remove any director, and that after a Business Combination, shareholders may by an Ordinary Resolution remove any director.	The Proposed Organizational Documents permit the removal of a director only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at an election of directors.

	See Article 31 of the Cayman Constitutional Documents.	Article VII, subsection (C) of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation.

Action by Written Consent of Stockholders (Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4F)	The Cayman Constitutional Documents permit shareholders to approve matters by unanimous written resolution. See Article 1 definition of Ordinary Resolution and Article 31.4 of the Cayman Constitutional Documents.	The Proposed Organizational Documents require stockholders to take action at an annual or special meeting and prohibit stockholder action by written consent in lieu of a meeting. Article VIII, subsection (A) of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation.

Other Changes In Connection With Adoption of the Proposed Organizational Documents (Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4G)	The Cayman Constitutional Documents include provisions related to CCAC’s status as a blank check company prior to the consummation of a business combination.	The Proposed Organizational Documents do not include such provisions related to CCAC’s status as a blank check company, which no longer will apply upon consummation of the Merger, as CCAC will cease to be a blank check company at such time.
	See Article 51 of the Cayman Constitutional Documents.

Q:	How will the Domestication affect my ordinary shares, warrants and units?

As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication, (1) each of the then issued 6,900,000 CCAC Class B ordinary shares will convert automatically, on a

one-for-one

basis, into a CCAC Class A ordinary share, (2) immediately following the conversion described in clause (1), each of the then issued 27,600,000 CCAC Class A ordinary shares will convert automatically, on a

one-for-one

basis, into a share of Quanergy PubCo common stock, (3) each of the then issued and outstanding 21,320,000 CCAC warrants will convert automatically into a Quanergy PubCo warrant, pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, and (4) each of the then issued and outstanding units of CCAC that have not been previously separated into the underlying CCAC Class A ordinary shares and underlying CCAC warrants upon the request of the holder thereof, will be cancelled and will entitle the holder thereof to one share of Quanergy PubCo common stock and

one-half

of one Quanergy PubCo warrant. No fractional Quanergy PubCo warrants will be issued upon separation of the CCAC units. See “

Domestication Proposal

” for additional information.

Q:	What are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication?

As discussed more fully under “

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,

” White & Case LLP has delivered an opinion that the Domestication will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code (an “F Reorganization”). As such, subject to the “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”) rules discussed below and under “

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—I. U.S. Holders—A.

Table of Contents

Tax Effects of the Domestication to U.S. Holders—5. PFIC Considerations

,” U.S. Holders (as defined in “

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—I. U.S. Holders

”) will be subject to Section 367(b) of the Code and, as a result:

•

A U.S. Holder who beneficially owns (directly, indirectly or constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of CCAC stock entitled to vote or 10% or more of the total value of all classes of CCAC stock (a “10% U.S. Shareholder”) on the date of the Domestication must include in income as a dividend deemed paid by CCAC the “all earnings and profits amount” attributable to the CCAC Class A ordinary shares it directly owns within the meaning of Treasury Regulations under Section 367 of the Code;

•

A U.S. Holder whose CCAC Class A ordinary shares have a fair market value of $50,000 or more and who, on the date of the Domestication, is not a 10% U.S. Shareholder will recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to its CCAC Class A ordinary shares in the Domestication or, in the alternative, may elect to recognize the “all earnings and profits” amount attributable to such U.S. Holder’s CCAC Class A ordinary shares; and

•

A U.S. Holder whose CCAC Class A ordinary shares have a fair market value of less than $50,000 on the date of the Domestication and who, on the date of the Domestication, is not a 10% U.S. Shareholder, should not be required to recognize any gain or loss or include any part of the “all earnings and profits amount” in income under Section 367 of the Code in connection with the Domestication.

CCAC does not expect to have significant cumulative earnings and profits, if any, on the date of the Domestication.

As discussed more fully under “

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—I. U.S. Holders—A. Tax Effects of the Domestication to U.S. Holders—5. PFIC Considerations

,” CCAC believes that it is likely classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In such case, notwithstanding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication discussed in the foregoing, proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code (which have a retroactive effective date), if finalized in their current form, generally would require a U.S. Holder to recognize gain on the exchange of CCAC Class A ordinary shares or warrants for Quanergy PubCo common stock or warrants pursuant to the Domestication. Any such gain would be taxable income with no corresponding receipt of cash in the Domestication. The tax on any such gain would be imposed at the rate applicable to ordinary income and an interest charge would apply based on a complex set of rules. In addition, the proposed Treasury Regulations provide coordinating rules with other sections of the Code, including Section 367(b), which affect the manner in which the rules under such other sections apply to transfers of PFIC stock. However, it is difficult to predict whether, in what form, and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code may be adopted and how any such Treasury Regulations would apply. Importantly, however, U.S. Holders that make or have made certain elections discussed further under “

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—I. U.S. Holders—A. Tax Effects of the Domestication to U.S. Holders—5. PFIC Considerations—d. QEF Election and

Mark-to-Market

Election

” with respect to their CCAC Class A ordinary shares are generally not subject to the same gain recognition rules under the currently proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code. Currently, there are no elections available that apply to CCAC warrants, and the application of the PFIC rules to CCAC warrants is unclear. For a more complete discussion of the potential application of the PFIC rules to U.S. Holders as a result of the Domestication, see “

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—I. U.S. Holders

.”

Each U.S. Holder of CCAC Class A ordinary shares or warrants is urged to consult its own tax advisor concerning the application of the PFIC rules, including the proposed Treasury Regulations, to the exchange of CCAC Class A ordinary shares and warrants for Quanergy PubCo common stock and warrants pursuant to the Domestication.

Table of Contents

Additionally, the Domestication may cause

Non-U.S.

Holders (as defined in “

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—II.

Non-U.S.

Holders

”) to become subject to U.S. federal income withholding taxes on any amounts treated as dividends paid in respect of such

Non-U.S.

Holder’s Quanergy PubCo common stock after the Domestication.

The tax consequences of the Domestication are complex and will depend on a holder’s particular circumstances. All holders are urged to consult their tax advisor regarding the tax consequences to them of the Domestication, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local and

non-U.S.

tax laws. For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Domestication, see “

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

Q.	Do I have redemption rights?

If you are a holder of public shares, you have the right to request that we redeem all or a portion of your public shares for cash provided that you follow the procedures and deadlines described elsewhere in this proxy statement / prospectus. Public shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of the public shares held by them regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the BCA Proposal. If you wish to exercise your redemption rights, please see the answer to the next question: “How do I exercise my redemption rights?”

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such public shareholder or any other person with whom such public shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the public shares. Accordingly, if a public shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 20% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 20% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

The Sponsor (whose members include CCAC’s directors and officers) has agreed to waive its redemption rights with respect to all of the founder shares in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. Such waiver is customary in transactions of this sort and the Sponsor did not view the waiver as separate from the transaction as a whole and did not receive separate consideration for the waiver. The founder shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the

per-share

redemption price.

Q:	How do I exercise my redemption rights?

A:	If you are a public shareholder and wish to exercise your right to redeem the public shares, you must:

(i) (a) hold public shares, or (b) if you hold public shares through CCAC units, you elect to separate your CCAC units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares;

(ii) submit a written request to Continental, CCAC’s transfer agent, that Quanergy PubCo redeem all or a portion of your public shares for cash; and

(iii) deliver your certificates for public shares (if any) along with the redemption forms to Continental, CCAC’s transfer agent, physically or electronically through the DTC.

Table of Contents

The address of Continental, CCAC’s transfer agent, is listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

Public shareholders will be entitled to request that their public shares be redeemed for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the trust account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us (net of taxes payable). For illustrative purposes, as of June 30, 2021, this would have amounted to approximately $10.07 per issued public share. However, the proceeds deposited in the trust account could become subject to the claims of CCAC’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the public shareholders, regardless of whether such public shareholders vote or, if they do vote, irrespective of if they vote for or against the BCA Proposal. Therefore, the per share distribution from the trust account in such a situation may be less than originally expected due to such claims. Whether you vote, and if you do vote irrespective of how you vote, on any proposal, including the BCA Proposal, will have no impact on the amount you will receive upon exercise of your redemption rights. It is expected that the funds to be distributed to public shareholders electing to redeem their public shares will be distributed promptly after the consummation of the Business Combination.

Any request to redeem public shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for submitting redemption requests and thereafter, with our consent, until the Closing (as defined below). If a holder of a public share delivers its shares in connection with an election to redeem and subsequently decides prior to the deadline for submitting redemption requests not to elect to exercise such rights, it may simply request that CCAC instruct the transfer agent to return the shares (physically or electronically). The holder can make such request by contacting the transfer agent, at the address or email address listed in this proxy statement / prospectus.

Any corrected or changed written exercise of redemption rights must be received by Continental, CCAC’s transfer agent, prior to the vote taken on the BCA Proposal at the extraordinary general meeting. No request for redemption will be honored unless the holder’s certificates for public shares (if any) along with the redemption forms have been delivered (either physically or electronically) to Continental, CCAC’s agent, at least two business days prior to the vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

If a holder of public shares properly makes a request for redemption and the certificates for public shares (if any) along with the redemption forms are delivered as described above, then, if the Business Combination is consummated, Quanergy PubCo will redeem the public shares for a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. The redemption will take place following the Domestication and, accordingly, it is shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock that will be redeemed immediately after consummation of the Business Combination.

If you are a holder of public shares and you exercise your redemption rights, such exercise will not result in the loss of any warrants that you may hold.

Q:	If I am a holder of CCAC units, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my CCAC units?

No. Holders of issued and outstanding CCAC units must elect to separate the CCAC units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If you hold your CCAC units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must notify your broker or bank that you elect to separate the CCAC units into the underlying public shares and public warrants, or

Table of Contents

if you hold units registered in your own name, you must contact Continental, CCAC’s transfer agent, directly and instruct them to do so. You are requested to cause your public shares to be separated and delivered to Continental, CCAC’s transfer agent, along with the redemption forms by , Eastern Time, on , 2021 (two business days before the extraordinary general meeting) in order to exercise your redemption rights with respect to your public shares.

Q:	What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights?

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising your redemption rights with respect to your CCAC Class A ordinary shares to receive cash from the trust account in exchange for Quanergy PubCo common stock depend on your particular facts and circumstances. It is possible that you may be treated as selling such Quanergy PubCo common stock and, as a result, recognize capital gain or capital loss. It is also possible that the redemption may be treated as a distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Whether a redemption of shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total number of shares of Quanergy PubCo stock you are treated as owning before and after the redemption (including any Quanergy PubCo stock that you constructively own as a result of owning Quanergy PubCo warrants and any Quanergy PubCo stock that you directly or indirectly acquire pursuant to the Business Combination or the PIPE Investment) relative to all of the Quanergy PubCo stock outstanding both before and after the redemption. For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of an exercise of redemption rights, see “

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

.”

Additionally, because the Domestication will occur prior to the redemption of any shareholder, U.S. Holders (as defined in “

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—I. U.S. Holders

”) exercising redemption rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of Section 367 of the Code as well as potential tax consequences of the U.S. federal income tax rules relating to PFICs. The tax consequences of Section 367 of the Code and the PFIC rules are discussed more fully below under “

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—I. U.S. Holders

.”

All holders considering exercising redemption rights are urged to consult their tax advisor on the tax consequences to them of an exercise of redemption rights, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local and

non-U.S.

tax laws.

TAX MATTERS ARE COMPLICATED, AND THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF EXERCISING YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS WILL DEPEND ON THE FACTS OF YOUR OWN SITUATION. YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS TO YOU IN YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

Q:	What happens to the funds deposited in the trust account after consummation of the Business Combination?

Following the closing of CCAC’s initial public offering, an amount equal to $276,000,000 million ($10.00 per unit) of the net proceeds from CCAC’s initial public offering and the sale of the private placement warrants was placed in the trust account. As of June 30, 2021 there was $277,859,656 in investments and cash held in the Trust Account and $126,622 of cash held outside the Trust Account available for working capital purposes. As of June 30, 2021, funds in the trust account totaled $277,859,656 and were comprised entirely of U.S. government treasury bills, notes or bonds with a maturity of 180 days or less or in certain money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule

2a-7

under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. These funds will remain in the trust account, except for the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, if any, until the earliest of (1) the completion of a business combination (including the Closing), (2) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Cayman Constitutional Documents to modify the substance or timing of CCAC’s obligation to redeem

Table of Contents

100% of the public shares if it does not complete a business combination by February 13, 2022 and (3) the redemption of all of the public shares if CCAC is unable to complete a business combination by February 13, 2022 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), subject to applicable law.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the funds deposited in the trust account will be released to pay holders of CCAC public shares who properly exercise their redemption rights; to pay transaction fees and expenses associated with the Business Combination; and for working capital and general corporate purposes of Quanergy PubCo following the Business Combination. See “

Summary of the Proxy Statement / Prospectus—Sources and Uses of Funds for the Business Combination

.”

Q:	What happens if a substantial number of the public shareholders vote in favor of the BCA Proposal and exercise their redemption rights?

Our public shareholders are not required to vote in respect of the Business Combination in order to exercise their redemption rights. Accordingly, the Business Combination may be consummated even though the funds available from the trust account and the number of public shareholders are reduced as a result of redemptions by public shareholders.

The Merger Agreement provides that the obligations of Quanergy to consummate the Merger are conditioned on, among other things, that the amount of cash available in the trust account at Closing must be at least equal to the Minimum Cash Amount. If such conditions are not met, and such conditions are not or cannot be waived under the terms of the Merger Agreement, then the Merger Agreement could terminate and the proposed Business Combination may not be consummated. In addition, in no event will CCAC redeem public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001.

Q:	What conditions must be satisfied to complete the Business Combination?

S-4

of which this proxy statement / prospectus is a part, (iii) expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act and the achievement of CFIUS clearance (as contemplated by the Merger Agreement), (iv) receipt of approval for listing on the NYSE of the shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock to be issued in connection with the Merger, (v) that after redemption, CCAC’s net tangible assets shall be no less than $5,000,001 upon Closing and (vi) the absence of certain specified injunctions. In addition, Quanergy’s obligations to consummate the Merger are also conditioned on, among other things, the satisfaction or waiver of the Minimum Cash Condition. We cannot assume you that the parties to the Merger Agreement would waive such conditions.

For more information about conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination, see “

BCA Proposal—The Merger Agreement

.”

Q:	When do you expect the Business Combination to be completed?

It is currently expected that the Business Combination will be consummated in the second half of 2021. This date depends, among other things, on the approval of the proposals to be put to CCAC shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting. However, such meeting could be adjourned if the Adjournment Proposal is adopted by CCAC’s shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting and CCAC elects to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for the approval of one or more proposals at the extraordinary general meeting. For a description of the conditions for the completion of the Business Combination, see “

BCA Proposal—The Merger Agreement

.”

Table of Contents

Q:	What happens if the Business Combination is not consummated?

CCAC will not complete the Domestication to Delaware unless all other conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination have been satisfied or waived by the parties in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. If CCAC is not able to complete the Business Combination with Quanergy by February 13, 2022 and is not able to complete another business combination by such date, in each case, as such date may be extended pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, CCAC will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a

per-share

price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Q:	What do I need to do now?

CCAC urges you to read this proxy statement / prospectus, including the Annexes and the documents referred to herein, carefully and in their entirety and to consider how the Business Combination will affect you as a shareholder or warrant holder. CCAC’s shareholders should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement / prospectus and on the enclosed proxy card.

Q:	How do I vote?

If you are a holder of record of ordinary shares on the record date for the extraordinary general meeting, you may vote in person at the extraordinary general meeting or by submitting a proxy for the extraordinary general meeting. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying

pre-addressed

postage-paid envelope.

If you hold your shares in “street

name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or nominee, you should contact your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the broker, bank or nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the extraordinary general meeting and vote in person, obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.

Q:	If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?

No. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial holder” of the shares held for you in what is known as “street name.” If this is the case, this proxy statement / prospectus may have been forwarded to you by your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, or its agent, and you may need to obtain a proxy form from the institution that holds your shares and follow the instructions included on that form regarding how to instruct your broker, bank or nominee as to how to vote your shares. Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to

non-discretionary

matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank, or nominee. We believe all the proposals presented to the shareholders will be considered

non-discretionary

and therefore your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction. Your bank, broker, or other nominee can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. As the beneficial holder, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee as to

Table of Contents

how to vote your shares and you should instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with directions you provide. If you do not provide voting instructions to your broker on a particular proposal on which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote, your shares will not be voted on that proposal. This is called a “broker

non-vote.”

Abstentions and broker

non-votes,

while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal.

Q:	Do I have appraisal rights in connection with the proposed Business Combination and the proposed Domestication?

A:	Neither CCAC’s shareholders nor CCAC’s warrant holders have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination or the Domestication under Cayman Islands law or under the DGCL.

Q:	When and where will the extraordinary general meeting be held?

The extraordinary general meeting will be held at , Eastern Time, on , 2021, at the offices of White & Case LLP located at 1221 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10020, or virtually via live webcast at , or such other date, time and place to which such meeting may be adjourned or postponed, to consider and vote upon the proposals.

Q:	Who is entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting?

CCAC has fixed , 2021 as the record date for the extraordinary general meeting. If you were a shareholder of CCAC at the close of business on the record date, you are entitled to vote on matters that come before the extraordinary general meeting. However, a shareholder may only vote his or her shares if he or she is present in person or is represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting.

Q:	How many votes do I have?

CCAC shareholders are entitled to one vote at the extraordinary general meeting for each ordinary share held of record as of the record date. As of the close of business on the record date for the extraordinary general meeting, there were 34,500,000 ordinary shares issued, of which were issued public shares.

Q:	What constitutes a quorum?

A quorum of CCAC shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the extraordinary general meeting if the holders of a majority of the issued ordinary shares entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting are represented in person or by proxy. As of the record date for the extraordinary general meeting, 17,250,001 ordinary shares would be required to achieve a quorum.

Q:	What vote is required to approve each proposal at the extraordinary general meeting?

two-thirds

of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the quorate extraordinary general meeting.

Table of Contents

of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the quorate extraordinary general meeting.

•

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals: The separate approval of each of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, each of which is a

non-binding

vote, requires a special resolution under the Cayman Islands Companies Law, being the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of at least

two-thirds

of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the quorate extraordinary general meeting.

•

Stock Issuance Proposal: The approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the quorate extraordinary general meeting.

•

Equity Incentive Plan Proposal: The approval of the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the quorate extraordinary general meeting.

•

ESPP Proposal: The approval of the ESPP Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the quorate extraordinary general meeting.

•

Adjournment Proposal: The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the quorate extraordinary general meeting.

Q:	What are the recommendations of the CCAC Board?

The CCAC Board believes that the BCA Proposal and the other proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting are in the best interest of CCAC’s shareholders and unanimously recommends that its shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the BCA Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Domestication Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal, “FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of each of the separate Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, “FOR” the approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the ESPP Proposal and “FOR” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented to the extraordinary general meeting.

” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Q:	How does the Sponsor intend to vote its shares?

The Sponsor has agreed to vote all the founder shares and any other public shares it may hold in favor of all the proposals being presented at the extraordinary general meeting. As of the date of this proxy statement / prospectus, the Sponsor (whose members include CCAC’s directors and officers) owns 20% of the issued ordinary shares.

Table of Contents

At any time at or prior to the Business Combination, subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material

non-public

information), the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Quanergy or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may (i) purchase public shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the Condition Precedent Proposals, or elect to redeem, or indicate an intention to redeem, public shares, (ii) execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or (iii) enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares, vote their public shares in favor of the Condition Precedent Proposals or not redeem their public shares. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record holder of CCAC’s shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Quanergy or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors, or respective affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of (1) satisfaction of the requirement that holders of a majority of the ordinary shares, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote in favor of the BCA Proposal, the Stock Issuance Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the ESSP Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, (2) satisfaction of the requirement that holders of a majority of at least

two-thirds

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on our ordinary shares (e.g., by giving an investor or holder the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market, such investor or holder may therefore become more likely to sell the shares he or she owns, either at or prior to the Business Combination). If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved.

BCA Proposal—Interests of CCAC’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Q:	What happens if I sell my CCAC ordinary shares before the extraordinary general meeting?

The record date for the extraordinary general meeting is earlier than the date of the extraordinary general meeting and earlier than the date that the Business Combination is expected to be completed. If you transfer your public shares after the applicable record date, but before the extraordinary general meeting, unless you grant a proxy to the transferee, you will retain your right to vote at such general meeting but the transferee, and not you, will have the ability to redeem such shares (if time permits), so long as such transferee takes the required steps to elect to redeem such shares at least two business days prior to the extraordinary general meeting.

Table of Contents

Q:	May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?

Yes. Shareholders may send a later-dated, signed proxy card to CCAC’s Chief Executive Officer and Director at CCAC’s address set forth below so that it is received by CCAC’s Chief Executive Officer and Director prior to the vote at the extraordinary general meeting (which is scheduled to take place on , 2021) or attend the extraordinary general meeting in person and vote. Shareholders also may revoke their proxy by sending a notice of revocation to CCAC’s Chief Executive Officer and Director, which must be received by CCAC’s Chief Executive Officer and Director prior to the vote at the extraordinary general meeting. However, if your shares are held in “street name” by your broker, bank or another nominee, you must contact your broker, bank or other nominee to change your vote.

Q:	What happens if I fail to take any action with respect to the extraordinary general meeting?

If you fail to take any action with respect to the extraordinary general meeting and the Business Combination is approved by shareholders and the Business Combination is consummated, you will become a stockholder or warrant holder of Quanergy PubCo. If you fail to take any action with respect to the extraordinary general meeting and the Business Combination is not approved, you will remain a shareholder or warrant holder of CCAC. However, if you fail to vote with respect to the extraordinary general meeting, you will nonetheless be able to elect to redeem your public shares in connection with the Business Combination (if time permits).

Q:	How can I vote my shares without attending the extraordinary general meeting?

If you are a shareholder of record of our CCAC Shares as of the close of business on the Record Date, you can vote by proxy by mail by following the instructions provided in the enclosed proxy card or at the extraordinary general meeting. Please note that if you are a beneficial owner of CCAC Shares, you may vote by submitting voting instructions to your broker, bank or nominee, or otherwise by following instructions provided by your broker, bank or nominee. Telephone and internet voting will be available to beneficial owners. Please refer to the vote instruction form provided by your broker, bank or nominee.

Q:	What happens if I vote against the BCA Proposal?

If you vote against the BCA Proposal, but the BCA Proposal still obtains the requisite shareholder approval described in this proxy statement / prospectus, then the BCA Proposal will be approved and, assuming the approval of the Domestication Proposal, the Stock Issuance Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal, the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the ESPP Proposal and the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions to the closing of the Merger, the Business Combination will be consummated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

If you vote against the BCA Proposal and the BCA Proposal does not obtain the requisite vote at the extraordinary general meeting, then the BCA Proposal will fail and we will not consummate the BCA. If we do not consummate the BCA Proposal, we may continue to try to complete a business combination with a different target business until February 13, 2022. If we fail to complete an initial business combination by February 13, 2022, then we will be required to dissolve and liquidate the Trust Account by returning then-remaining funds in the Trust Account to the Public Shareholders.

Q:	What should I do with my share certificates, warrant certificates or unit certificates?

A:	Our shareholders who exercise their redemption rights must deliver (either physically or electronically) their share certificates (if any) along with the redemption forms to Continental, CCAC’s transfer agent, prior to the extraordinary general meeting.

Table of Contents

Our warrant holders should not submit the certificates relating to their warrants. Public shareholders who do not elect to have their public shares redeemed for the pro rata share of the trust account should not submit the certificates relating to their public shares.

Upon the Domestication, holders of CCAC units, CCAC Class A ordinary shares, CCAC Class B ordinary shares and warrants will receive shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock and warrants, as the case may be, without needing to take any action and, accordingly, such holders should not submit any certificates relating to their units, CCAC Class A ordinary shares (unless such holder elects to redeem the public shares in accordance with the procedures set forth above), CCAC Class B ordinary shares or warrants.

Q:	What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

Shareholders may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement / prospectus and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your ordinary shares.

Q:	Who will solicit and pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the extraordinary general meeting?

CCAC will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the extraordinary general meeting. CCAC has engaged Morrow Sodali LLC to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the extraordinary general meeting. CCAC has agreed to pay Morrow Sodali LLC a fee of $35,000, plus disbursements. CCAC will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of CCAC Class A ordinary shares for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of CCAC Class A ordinary shares and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners. CCAC’s directors and officers may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the Internet or in person. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies.

Q:	Where can I find the voting results of the extraordinary general meeting?

The Parties to the Business Combination

CCAC

CCAC is a blank check company incorporated on September 9, 2019 as a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated with limited liability for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. On November 14, 2019, the Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share, to cover certain of CCAC’s offering costs in exchange for 5,750,000 founder shares. Effective December 10, 2019, the Sponsor transferred 718,750 founder shares to Henri Arif for a purchase price of $3,125 (the same

per-share

The following is a summary of the proposals to be put to the extraordinary general meeting of CCAC and certain transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Each of the proposals below, except the Adjournment Proposal and the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. The Adjournment Proposal and the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals are not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement / prospectus. The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will be consummated only if the Condition Precedent Proposals are approved at the extraordinary general meeting.

BCA Proposal

As discussed in this proxy statement / prospectus, CCAC is asking its shareholders to approve by ordinary resolution and adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 21, 2021, as amended on as June 28, 2021, by and among CCAC, Merger Sub and Quanergy, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement / prospectus as Annex A and Annex B. The Merger Agreement provides for, among other things, following the Domestication of CCAC to Delaware as described below, the merger of Merger Sub with and into Quanergy, with Quanergy surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Quanergy PubCo, in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement as more fully described elsewhere in this proxy statement / prospectus. After consideration of the factors identified and discussed in the section entitled “

BCA Proposal—CCAC Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

,” the CCAC Board concluded that the Business Combination met the requirements disclosed in the prospectus for CCAC’s initial public offering, including that the business of Quanergy and its subsidiaries had a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the trust account (excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount held in trust) at the time of CCAC’s signing the Merger Agreement. For more information about the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, see “

BCA Proposal

.”

Aggregate Merger Consideration

As a result of and upon the Closing, among other things, all outstanding shares of Quanergy Capital Stock as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger and, together with shares of Quanergy common stock reserved in respect of Quanergy Awards and Quanergy Warrants outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing that will be converted into awards or warrants, as the case may be, based on Quanergy PubCo common stock, as more fully described elsewhere in this proxy statement / prospectus, will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, or the reservation of, an aggregate of 97,000,000 shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock (at a deemed value of $10.00 per share) (which, in the case of Quanergy Awards and Quanergy Warrants, will be shares underlying awards or warrants, as the case may be, based on Quanergy PubCo common stock)

representing a fully-diluted

pre-transaction

equity value of Quanergy of $970 million. The portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration reflecting the conversion of the Quanergy Awards and Quanergy Warrants is calculated assuming that all Quanergy PubCo Options and Quanergy PubCo Converted Warrants are

net-settled

(although Quanergy PubCo Options may by their terms be cash-settled, resulting in additional dilution). For further details, see “

BCA Proposal—The Merger Agreement—Consideration—Aggregate Merger Consideration

Closing Conditions

Form S-4

Other conditions to Quanergy’s obligations to consummate the Merger include, among others, that as of the Closing, (i) the Domestication will have been completed, and (ii) the amount of cash available in (x) the trust account (the “Trust Account”), following the extraordinary general meeting, into which substantially all of the proceeds of CCAC’s initial public offering and private placements of its warrants have been deposited for the benefit of CCAC, certain of its public shareholders and the underwriters of CCAC’s initial public offering, after deducting the amount required to satisfy CCAC’s obligations to its shareholders (if any) that exercise their rights to redeem their CCAC Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents plus (y) the PIPE Investment, is at least equal to $175,000,000.

BCA Proposal—The Merger Agreement.

”

Domestication Proposal

If the BCA Proposal is approved, then CCAC will ask its shareholders to approve by special resolution the Domestication Proposal. The CCAC Board has unanimously approved the Domestication Proposal and believes that there are significant advantages to us that will arise as a result of a change of CCAC’s domicile to Delaware. The Domestication Proposal, if approved, will authorize a change of CCAC’s jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware. Accordingly, while CCAC is currently governed by the Cayman Islands Companies Law, upon the Domestication, Quanergy PubCo will be governed by the DGCL. There are differences between Cayman Islands corporate law and Delaware corporate law as well as the Cayman Constitutional Documents and the Proposed Organizational Documents. CCAC encourages shareholders to carefully review the information in “

Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights

” beginning on page 307 of this proxy statement / prospectus. Approval of the Domestication Proposal is a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination.

As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication, (1) each of the then issued 6,900,000 CCAC Class B ordinary shares will convert automatically, on a

one-for-one

basis, into a share of Quanergy PubCo common stock, (3) each of the then issued and outstanding 21,320,000 CCAC warrants will convert automatically into a Quanergy PubCo warrant, pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, and (4) each CCAC unit will be cancelled and will entitle the holder thereof to one share of Quanergy PubCo common stock and

one-half

of one Quanergy PubCo warrant. No fractional Quanergy PubCo warrants will be issued upon separation of the CCAC units.

Organizational Documents Proposal

If the BCA Proposal and the Domestication Proposal are approved, CCAC will ask its shareholders to approve the Organizational Documents Proposal in connection with the replacement of the Cayman Constitutional Documents, under the Cayman Islands Companies Law, with the Proposed Organizational Documents, under the DGCL. The CCAC Board has unanimously approved the Organizational Documents Proposal and believes such proposal is necessary to adequately address the needs of Quanergy PubCo after the Business Combination. Approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal is a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination.

For additional information, see “

Organizational Documents Proposal

” beginning on page 177 of this proxy statement / prospectus.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals

If the BCA Proposal, the Domestication Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposals are approved, CCAC will ask its shareholders to approve seven separate Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals in connection with the replacement of the Cayman Constitutional Documents, under the Cayman Islands Companies Law, with the Proposed Organizational Documents, under the DGCL. The CCAC Board has unanimously approved the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals and believes such proposals are necessary to adequately address the needs of Quanergy PubCo after the Business Combination. Approval of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals is advisory only and is not a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination.

A brief summary of each of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals is set forth below. These summaries are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Proposed Organizational Documents.

Adjournment Proposal

CCAC Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

In considering the Business Combination, the CCAC Board considered multiple positive factors including the following, although not weighted or in any order of significance:

Targets with unique and disruptive technologies and products.

CCAC intended to target companies with revolutionary technologies and products originated outside of, but which have the potential to generate primary revenues within, its core markets. CCAC believes that Quanergy has satisfied this criteria with its competitive advantage in OPA technology.

CCAC believes Quanergy is the most valuable company in the LiDAR market as a leading provider of next-generation optical phased array (“OPA”) technology focused on the automotive and Internet of Things (“IoT”) markets. Quanergy developed a disruptive solid-state LiDAR technology which utilises OPA, a platform crucial for high volume economics, reliability and performance. CCAC belives OPA technology would be a potential game-changer for the automotive industry as it is the solid-state technology best suited to scale for the automotive market. Quanergy is the only major LiDAR provider to harness the potential of OPA, and with existing commercial products available today. In addition, IoT markets present significant and immediate revenue growth opportunities. Furthermore, Quanergy’s products have already been successfully applied to markets in Asia, and with meaningful future growth prospects given the size of Asia’s automotive and industrial sectors.

Fundamentally sound companies with the potential to further improve under CCAC’s ownership

. CCAC believes its management team’s experience in its target sectors and network of industry contacts provides the potential to generate opportunities to enhance the financial and operational efficiencies of the target business, and potentially offer an attractive return for its shareholders.

Quanergy is an established technology leader in LiDAR sensors and 3D perception software that enable automation and insights into mission-critical IoT applications, with a network of over 350 customers and 40 strategic relationships. CCAC believes that Quanergy can benefit from the extensive international business network of CCAC’s management, particularly in China and other Asian markets. With the addition of CCAC’s expertise and resources, Quanergy is expected to be optimally positioned as a market leader in the LiDAR sector.

Experienced and visionary management team

. CCAC intended to seek targets with an established management team that it can complement by selectively supplementing the business’s existing management team (including senior management) with members of its management team or with proven leaders from its network to enhance shareholder value.

Quanergy satisfies this criteria in that Quanergy has an experienced mangament team with proven public company credentials, who are committed to developing a truly solid-state LiDAR sensor and pioneering smart awareness based on OPA technology. The mangament team brings years of combined experience in the development, commercialization and mass production on a global scale of products requiring specialized skills in photonics, optics, optoelectronics, energy mechatronics, robotics, advanced learning, mico/nanofabrication, automation, artificial intelligence, machine learning and controls.

Table of Contents

PIPE commitment

. The PIPE Investors have committed to purchase $40 million in Quanergy PubCo common stock at $10.00 per share. This shows support for the Business Combination and reduces the minimum required cash from the trust account.

Seller’s retained interest

. Quanergy’s existing shareholders are rolling 100% of their equity and will own approximately 72% stake in the pro forma company which shows an ongoing equity commitment.

Growth opportunities

. The expected proceeds raised in the proposed Business Combination and related transactions are expected to be used to further advance Quanergy’s growth strategy, including accelerating research and development, funding working capital, paying down all debt and establishing a currency for potential future acquisitions. CCAC believes that Quanergy would benefit from the capital infusion to recapitalize existing financial obligations, provide growth capital and provide necessary working capital in case of short-term financial distress.

Ownership of Quanergy PubCo following Business Combination

Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one CCAC Class A ordinary share and, following the Domestication, will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of Quanergy PubCo common stock. Therefore, as of the date of this proxy statement / prospectus (without giving effect to the Business Combination), the CCAC fully diluted share capital would be 48,300,000 ordinary shares.

Table of Contents

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, a public shareholder may request of CCAC that Quanergy PubCo redeem all or a portion of its public shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. As a holder of public shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

•

hold public shares or if you hold public shares through CCAC units, you elect to separate your CCAC units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares;

•

submit a written request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), CCAC’s transfer agent, that Quanergy PubCo redeem all or a portion of your public shares for cash; and

•

deliver the certificates for your public shares (if any) along with the redemption forms to Continental physically or electronically through DTC.

Holders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their public shares in the manner described above prior to

, Eastern Time, on

, 2021 (two business days before the extraordinary general meeting) in order for their shares to be redeemed.

Holders of CCAC units must elect to separate the CCAC units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If holders hold their CCAC units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the CCAC units into the underlying public shares and public warrants, or if a holder holds CCAC units registered in its own name, the holder must contact Continental directly and instruct them to do so. Public shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of the public shares held by them regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the BCA Proposal. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the public shares will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank and the public shares will not be redeemed for cash, even if their holders have properly exercised redemption rights with respect to such public shares. If the Business Combination is consummated, and if a public shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the public shares that it holds and timely delivers the certificates for its shares (if any) along with the redemption forms to Continental, Quanergy PubCo will redeem such public shares for a

per-share

price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, as of June 30, 2021, this would have amounted to approximately $10.07 per issued public share. If a public shareholder exercises its redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its public shares for cash and will no longer own public shares. The redemption takes place following the Domestication and, accordingly, it is shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock that will be redeemed immediately after consummation of the Business Combination. See “

Extraordinary General Meeting of CCAC—Redemption Rights

” in this proxy statement / prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your public shares for cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such public shareholder or any other person with whom such public shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the public shares. Accordingly, if a public shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 20% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 20% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

The Sponsor has agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how CCAC’s public shareholders vote. The Sponsor and each director and each officer of CCAC have

agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, in the case of the Sponsor,

Table of Contents

subject also to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Sponsor Support Agreement. As of the date of this proxy statement / prospectus, the Sponsor (whose members include CCAC’s directors and officers) owns 20% of the issued ordinary shares.

Holders of the warrants will not have redemption rights with respect to the warrants.

Appraisal Rights

Neither CCAC shareholders nor CCAC warrant holders have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination or the Domestication under Cayman Islands law or under the DGCL.

Proxy Solicitation

Proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone or in person. CCAC has engaged Morrow Sodali LLC to assist in the solicitation of proxies.

If a shareholder grants a proxy, it may still vote its shares in person if it revokes its proxy before the extraordinary general meeting. A shareholder also may change its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy as described in the section entitled “

Extraordinary General Meeting of CCAC—Revoking Your Proxy

.”

Interests of CCAC’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of CCAC’s board of directors in favor of approval of the BCA Proposal, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor and CCAC’s directors and executive officers have interests in such proposal that are different from, or in addition to, those of CCAC shareholders and warrant holders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

•

Prior to CCAC’s initial public offering, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 CCAC Class B ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per founder shares. Effective December 10, 2019, the Sponsor transferred 718,750 founder shares to Mr. Henri Arif for a purchase price of $3,125 (the same per-share price initially paid by the Sponsor), resulting in our sponsor holding 5,031,250 founder shares. On February 10, 2020, CCAC effected a share capitalization of 1,150,000 shares and as a result the Sponsor held 6,037,500 founder shares and Mr. Henri Arif held 862,500 founder shares. On May 7, 2020, the Sponsor transferred 22,000 founder shares to Mr. Ross Haghighat for no consideration and on February 10, 2021, the Sponsor transferred 13,000 founder shares to Mr. Mark B. Segall for no consideration. As of the date of this proxy material / prospectus, the Sponsor and its affiliates held 6,002,500 founder shares and 7,520,000 Private Warrants, which has an approximate value of US$63,981,263 based on the average of the high and low prices of the Class A ordinary shares and private warrants of CCAC on the NYSE on September 20, 2021. As of September 3, 2021, CCAC owes approximately US$ 754,286 in the aggregate to the Sponsor and its affiliates for working capital loans, administrative service fees due and out-of-pocket expenses. Except as described the preceding sentence, there are no outstanding loans or material fee or reimbursement arrangements among CCAC, the Sponsor, its affiliates, or the CCAC directors or officers. As a result of the significantly lower investment per CCAC Class B ordinary share of our Sponsor as compared with the investment per public share of CCAC’s public shareholders, a transaction which results in an increase in the value of the investment of the Sponsor may result in a decrease in the value of the investment of our public shareholders.

•

Although the Sponsor and its affiliates have committed considerable capital to CCAC, including through its participation in the CCAC IPO and its contribution of a portion of the promote for no consideration, if the Business Combination is consummated, taking into account the investments described above, including the promote, it is possible that the Sponsor and its affiliates could realize a positive rate of return on such investments even if other CCAC shareholders experience a negative rate of return following the Business Combination.

Table of Contents

•

If CCAC does not consummate a business combination by February 13, 2022 (or if such date is extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), it would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming all of the outstanding public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and its board of directors, liquidating and dissolving, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the 6,900,000 CCAC Class B ordinary shares owned by the Sponsor, its affiliates and the directors of CCAC would be worthless because following the redemption of the public shares, CCAC would likely have few, if any, net assets. Additionally, in such event, the 7,520,000 private placement warrants purchased by the Sponsor simultaneously with the consummation of CCAC’s initial public offering for an aggregate purchase price of $7,520,000 will expire worthless.

•

The Sponsor will benefit economically from the completion of a Business Combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to shareholders rather than liquidate. That said, the Sponsor, an Affiliate of CITIC Capital Holdings Limited, by pursuing a business combination with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to shareholders than what it would normally negotiate, may cause irreparable reputational damage to CITIC Capital Holdings Limited, which far exceeds to the dollar value of the initial Sponsor Promote, and this risk similarly serves as a disincentive from pursuing an unattractive business combination.

•

CCAC’s directors, Mr. Arif, Mr. Ross Haghighat and Mr. Mark B. Segall, also have a direct or indirect economic interest in such private placement warrants and/or in the 6,900,000 CCAC Class B ordinary shares owned by the Sponsor or its affiliates. The 6,900,000 shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock into which the 6,900,000 CCAC Class B ordinary shares held by the Sponsor will automatically convert in connection with the Merger (including after giving effect to the Domestication), if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of $ million based upon the closing price of $ per public share on the NYSE on , 2021, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement / prospectus. However, given that such shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock will be subject to certain restrictions, including those described elsewhere in this proxy statement / prospectus, CCAC believes such shares have less value. The 7,520,000 Quanergy PubCo warrants into which the 7,520,000 private placement warrants held by the Sponsor will automatically convert in connection with the Merger (including after giving effect to the Domestication), if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of $ million based upon the closing price of $ per public warrant on the NYSE on , 2021, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement / prospectus.

•

Accordingly, CCAC’s Sponsor, officers and directors will lose their entire investment of $7,545,000, consisting of the Sponsor’s $25,000 initial investment and the Sponsor’s $7,520,000 private placement warrant purchase price, if CCAC does not complete a business combination by February 13, 2022.

Immediately following the Closing, CCSRF and Tharsis Funds are expected to receive approximately 1,954,961 and 1,359,083 Quanergy PubCo shares, respectively, on an

as-converted

and

as-exercised

basis based on Quanergy’s capitalization on June 8, 2021.

•

None of Mr. Arif, Mr. Wang and Mr. Chan, nor any other affiliate of CCAC were involved in the management or guarantee of Quanergy in relation to its consideration of the Business Combination and alternative transactions. The potential interests of Mr. Henri, Mr. Wang and Mr. Chan were properly disclosed to the CCAC Board, and the CCAC Board considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the business combination and transaction agreements and in recommending to CCAC’s stockholders that they vote in favor of the proposals presented at the CCAC special meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the proposals presented at the CCAC special meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal.

•

CCAC’s Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares if CCAC fails to complete a business combination by February 13, 2022.

•

CCAC’s existing directors and officers will be eligible for continued indemnification and continued coverage under CCAC’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy after the Merger and pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

•

Following the Closing, CCAC’s Sponsor would be entitled to the repayment of any working capital loan and advances that have been made to CCAC and remain outstanding. If CCAC does not complete an initial business combination within the required period, CCAC may use a portion of its working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the working capital loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used for this purpose.

CCAC’s Sponsor, officers and directors and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of

expenses incurred by them related to identifying, investigating, negotiating and completing an initial business combination, including repayment of any other loans and advances made. However, if CCAC fails to consummate a business combination by February 13, 2022, they will not have any claim against the trust account for reimbursement. Accordingly, CCAC may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination or another business combination is not completed by such date.

The Sponsor has agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how CCAC’s public shareholders vote. The Sponsor and each director and each officer of CCAC have agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, in the case of the Sponsor, subject also to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Sponsor Support Agreement. As of the date of this proxy statement / prospectus, the Sponsor (whose members include CCAC’s directors and officers) owns 20% of the issued ordinary shares.

At any time at or prior to the Business Combination, during a period when they are not then aware of any material

non-public

information regarding CCAC or CCAC’s securities, the Sponsor, Quanergy our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may purchase public shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the Condition Precedent Proposals, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares or vote their public shares in favor of the Condition Precedent Proposals. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record holder of CCAC’s shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor, Quanergy or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholder would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of (1) satisfaction of the requirement that holders of a majority of the ordinary shares, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote in favor of the BCA Proposal, the Stock Issuance Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, (2) satisfaction of the requirement that holders of a majority of at least

two-thirds

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the ordinary shares (e.g., by giving an investor or holder the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market, such investor or holder may therefore become more likely to sell the shares he or she owns, either at or prior to the Business

Table of Contents

Combination). If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved.

Opinion of Duff & Phelps, the CCAC Board’s Financial Advisor

On February 18, 2021, CCAC retained Duff & Phelps to serve as an independent financial advisor to the CCAC Board to provide to the CCAC Board a fairness opinion in connection with the Business Combination

On June 21, 2021, Duff & Phelps verbally rendered its opinion to CCAC Board, which was subsequently confirmed in writing by delivery of its opinion, dated June 21, 2021 (the “Opinion”), addressed to the CCAC Board that, as of the date of the Opinion and subject to and based on the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered, limitations of the review undertaken and qualifications contained in such Opinion, the consideration to be paid by CCAC in the Business Combination was fair, from a financial point of view, to CCAC.

In selecting Duff & Phelps, the CCAC Board considered, among other things, the fact that Duff & Phelps is a reputable investment banking firm with experience in the mobility sector and a global leader in providing fairness opinions to boards of directors. Duff & Phelps is continuously engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities and the provision of fairness opinions in connection with various transactions.

The full text of the Opinion is attached hereto as Annex K and is incorporated into this document by reference. The summary of the Opinion set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Opinion. CCAC’s stockholders are urged to read the Opinion carefully and in its entirety for a discussion of the procedures followed, assumptions made, other matters considered and limits of the review undertaken by Duff & Phelps in connection with such Opinion.

Recommendation to Shareholders of CCAC

CCAC’s board of directors believes that the BCA Proposal and the other proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting are in the best interest of CCAC’s shareholders and unanimously recommends that its shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the BCA Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Domestication Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal, “FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of each of the separate Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, “FOR” the approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and “FOR” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented to the extraordinary general meeting.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

For a discussion summarizing certain U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Domestication and an exercise of redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination, please see “

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

” beginning on page 204 of this proxy statement / prospectus.

Expected Accounting Treatment

The Domestication

There will be no accounting effect or change in the carrying amount of the consolidated assets and liabilities of the Company as a result of the Domestication. The business, capitalization, assets and liabilities and financial statements of Quanergy PubCo immediately following the Domestication will be the same as those of CCAC immediately prior to the Domestication.

The Business Combination

Table of Contents

reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination is expected to be reflected as the equivalent of Quanergy issuing stock for the net assets of CCAC, accompanied by a recapitalization whereby no goodwill or other intangible assets are recorded.

Regulatory Matters

Under the HSR Act and the rules that have been promulgated thereunder by the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), certain transactions may not be consummated unless information has been furnished to the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (“Antitrust Division”) and the FTC and certain waiting period requirements have been satisfied. The Business Combination is subject to these requirements and may not be completed until the expiration of a

30-day

waiting period following the two filings of the required Notification and Report Forms with the Antitrust Division and the FTC or until early termination is granted. On July 6, 2021, CCAC and Quanergy filed the required forms under the HSR Act with respect to the Business Combination with the Antitrust Division and the FTC. On July 8, 2021, the Premerger Notification Office of the FTC and the Antitrust Division confirmed receipt of completed Notification and Report Forms from all parties with respect to the Proposed Transaction. The waiting period has expired on August 5, 2021 at 11:59pm.

At any time before or after consummation of the Business Combination, notwithstanding termination of the respective waiting periods under the HSR Act, the Antitrust Division or the FTC, or any state or foreign governmental authority could take such action under applicable antitrust laws as such authority deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking to enjoin the consummation of the Business Combination, conditionally approving the Business Combination upon divestiture of assets, subjecting the completion of the Business Combination to regulatory conditions or seeking other remedies. Private parties may also seek to take legal action under the antitrust laws under certain circumstances. CCAC cannot assure you that the Antitrust Division, the FTC, any state attorney general or any other government authority will not attempt to challenge the Business Combination on antitrust grounds, and, if such a challenge is made, CCAC cannot assure you as to its result.

Neither CCAC nor Quanergy are aware of any material regulatory approvals or actions that are required for completion of the Business Combination other than the expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act. It is presently contemplated that if any such additional regulatory approvals or actions are required, those approvals or actions will be sought. There can be no assurance, however, that any additional approvals or actions will be obtained.

On July 13, 2021, CCAC and Quanergy submitted a joint voluntary declaration of the Business Combination to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”) under Section 721 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended. Approval of the Business Combination by CFIUS is a condition to each party’s obligations to complete the Business Combination, and the parties’ completion of the Business Combination is therefore contingent upon CFIUS Clearance as defined in the Merger Agreement. On August 18, 2021, CFIUS informed CCAC and Quanergy in writing that after reviewing the information provided regarding the Proposed Transaction, that CFIUS concluded that the Proposed Transaction is not a covered transaction and therefore not subject to review by CFIUS. This notification from CFIUS satisfies the CFIUS Clearance condition in the Merger Agreement.

Emerging Growth Company

CCAC is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not

Table of Contents

being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in CCAC’s periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a

non-binding

advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to

non-emerging

growth companies, but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. CCAC has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, CCAC, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of CCAC’s financial statements with certain other public companies difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

CCAC will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of CCAC’s initial public offering, (b) in which CCAC has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion or (c) in which CCAC is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of CCAC’s common equity that is held by

non-affiliates

exceeds $700 million as of the end of the prior fiscal year’s second fiscal quarter; and (2) the date on which CCAC has issued more than $1.00 billion in

non-convertible

debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” shall have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

Additionally, CCAC is a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation

S-K.

Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. CCAC will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of its common equity held by

non-affiliates

exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th or (2) the market value of its common equity exceeds $250 million and its annual revenues exceeds $100 million during such fiscal year.

Risk Factors

Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “Quanergy,” “we,” “us,” “our” and “the Company” in this section are to the business and operations of Quanergy prior to the Business Combination and the business and operations of Quanergy PubCo as directly or indirectly affected by Quanergy by virtue of Quanergy PubCo’s ownership of the business of Quanergy following the Business Combination.

In evaluating the proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting, shareholders should carefully read this proxy statement / prospectus and especially consider the factors discussed in the sections titled “

Summary of the Proxy Statement / Prospectus—Risk Factors

” and “

Risk Factors

” beginning on page 52 and page 58 of this proxy statement / prospectus. In particular, such risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

•

We have incurred operating losses in the past, expect to incur operating losses in the future and may never achieve or maintain profitability.

•

We will require additional capital to meet our financial obligations and support planned business growth, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms or at all.

Table of Contents

•

We operate in evolving markets, which make it difficult to evaluate our business and prospects. If markets for LiDAR products, including autonomous driving, security

& smart spaces, mapping, robotics, industrial and other commercial applications, develop more slowly than we expect, or long-term

end-customer

adoption rates and demand are slower than we expect, our operating results and growth prospects could be harmed.

•

Product integration could face complications or unpredictable difficulties, which may adversely impact customer adoption of our products and our financial performance.

•

The market for LiDAR sensors is highly competitive and many companies are actively focusing on LiDAR technology or competing technologies based on camera, radar or other technologies. If we

fail to differentiate ourselves and compete successfully with these companies, many of which have substantially greater resources, our products may become obsolete and it will be difficult for us to attract customers and our business will be harmed.

•

Our Optical Phased Array (OPA) based product could fail to meet industry requirements for range, resolution or general performance or we could fall short of our cost objections for

OPA-based

LiDAR, thereby limiting our revenue potential.

•

Developments in alternative

non-LiDAR

technologies may adversely affect the demand for LiDAR sensors.

•

If we are not able to effectively grow our global sales and marketing organization, or maintain or grow an effective network of distributors, value-added resellers, and integrators, our business prospects, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

•

We continue to implement strategic initiatives designed to grow our business. These initiatives may prove more costly than we currently anticipate and we may not succeed in increasing our revenue in an amount sufficient to offset the costs of these initiatives and to achieve and maintain profitability.

•

We have limited manufacturing capacity and intend to depend primarily on a small number of contract manufacturers and manufacturing partners in the future. Our operations could be disrupted if we encounter delays or other problems with these contract manufacturers.

•

We may incur significant direct or indirect liabilities in connection with our product warranties which could adversely affect our business and operating results.

•

We have been and may continue to be subject to litigation regarding intellectual property rights that could be costly, including claims that we are infringing third party intellectual property, whether successful or not, and could result in the loss of rights important to our products or otherwise harm our business.

•

We are subject to, and must remain in compliance with, numerous laws and governmental regulations across various jurisdictions concerning the manufacturing, use, distribution and sale of our products.

•

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic has had and could continue to have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial results, and results of operations.

•

We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, and if we are unable to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, and the market price of our common stock may be materially adversely affected.

•

The Sponsor has agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how CCAC’s public shareholders vote.

Table of Contents

•

We may be forced to close the Business Combination even if we determined it is no longer in our shareholders’ best interest.

Since the Sponsor and CCAC’s directors and officers have interests that are different, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), the interests of our shareholders, a conflict of interest may have existed in determining whether the Business Combination with Quanergy is appropriate as our initial business combination. Such interests include that Sponsor will lose its entire investment in us if our business combination is not completed.

such changes to the terms of the Business Combination or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in CCAC’s shareholders’ best interest.

SELECTED UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data (the “summary pro forma data”) gives effect to the Business Combination and the PIPE Financing included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Under all redemption scenarios, namely no redemption, interim redemption scenario, and the maximum redemptions scenario, the Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, CCAC will be treated as the “acquired” company for accounting and financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Quanergy issuing equity for the net assets of CCAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of CCAC will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet data as of June 30, 2021 gives effect to the Business Combination and PIPE Financing as if they had occurred on June 30, 2021. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations data for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and the year ended December 31, 2020 gives effect to the Business Combination and PIPE Financing as if they had occurred on January 1, 2020.

The summary pro forma data have been derived from and should be read in conjunction with the more detailed unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information (the “pro forma financial statements”) of CCAC appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus and the accompanying notes to the pro forma financial statements. The pro forma financial statements are based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes of CCAC and Quanergy for the applicable periods included in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The summary pro forma data have been presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what Quanergy’s and CCAC’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the Business Combination and PIPE Financing been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the summary pro forma data do not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of Quanergy PubCo.

The following risks should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to the financial statements included herein.

Risks Related to Our Industry and Business

We have incurred operating losses in the past, expect to incur operating losses in the future and may never achieve or maintain profitability.

We have experienced net losses in each year since our inception. In the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we incurred net losses of $35.8 million and $42.4 million, respectively, and in the six months ended June 30, 2021, we incurred net losses of $35.2 million. You should not rely on the revenue growth of any prior quarterly or annual period as an indication of our future performance. We expect these losses to continue for at least the next several years as we expand our product offering and continue to scale our commercial operations and research and development program. As of June 30, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $279.2 million. Even if we are able to increase sales of our products, there can be no assurance that we will ever be profitable.

We expect we will continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future as we:

•

continue to hire additional personnel and make investments in research and development in order to develop technology and related software;

•

increase our sales and marketing functions, including expansion of our customer support and distribution capabilities;

•

hire additional personnel to support compliance requirements in connection with being a public company; and

•

expand operations and manufacturing.

If our products do not achieve sufficient market acceptance, our revenue growth rate may be slower than we expect, we may not be able to increase revenue enough to offset the increase in operating expenses resulting from investments, and we will not become profitable. If we fail to become profitable, or if we are unable to fund our continuing losses we may be unable to continue our business operations. There can be no assurance that we will ever achieve or sustain profitability.

Table of Contents

We will require additional capital to meet our financial obligations and support planned business growth, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms or at all.

Historically, we have funded our operations since inception primarily through equity, and equity-linked notes. We intend to continue to make significant investments to support planned business growth and will require additional funds to respond to business challenges, including the need to develop new sensing products and technology, maintain adequate levels of inventory to support demand requirements of our distributors and customers, improve our operating infrastructure or acquire complementary businesses, personnel and technologies. Accordingly, we may need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. If we raise additional funds through future issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our then existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. Any debt financing we secure, the debt holders would have rights senior to the holders of our common stock to make claims on our assets, and the terms could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. If we were to violate the restrictive covenants, we could incur penalties, increased expenses and an acceleration of the payment terms of our outstanding debt, which could in turn harm our business.

Because our decision to issue securities or raise financing in the future will depend on numerous considerations, including factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of any future issuances of debt or equity securities. As a result, our stockholders bear the risk of future issuances reducing the value of our common stock and diluting their interests. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges could be significantly impaired, and our business may be harmed.

We operate in evolving markets, which make it difficult to evaluate our business and prospects. If markets for LiDAR products, including autonomous driving, security & smart spaces, mapping, robotics, industrial and other commercial applications, develop more slowly than we expect, or long-term

end-customer

adoption rates and demand are slower than we expect, our operating results and growth prospects could be harmed.

While LiDAR has existed for some time for terrestrial and aerial mapping applications and for research and development level automotive applications, the concept of low cost and high volume LiDAR for markets like automotive, security & smart spaces and mapping applications is relatively new and rapidly evolving, making our business and prospects difficult to evaluate. The growth and profitability of these markets (collectively, the “Sensing Solutions Market”) and the level of demand and market acceptance for LiDAR technology are subject to a high degree of uncertainty. The future growth of our business depends on the growth of these Sensing Solutions Market. We cannot be certain that this will happen. If consumers do not perceive meaningful benefits of LiDAR technology, then these markets may develop more slowly than we expect, which could adversely impact our operating results and our ability to grow our business.

If our customers and partners are unable to maintain and increase acceptance of LiDAR technology, our business, results of operations, financial condition and growth prospects would be adversely affected.

Our future operating results will depend on the ability of our customers and partners to create, maintain and increase acceptance of LiDAR technology. There is no assurance that our customers and partners can achieve these objectives. Acceptance of our LiDAR technology in the global Sensing Solutions Market depends upon many factors, including regulatory requirements applicable to such markets, evolving safety standards and perceptions, cost and consumer preferences. Market acceptance of LiDAR technology also depends on the ability of market participants, including us, to resolve technical challenges facing the Sensing Solutions Market in a timely and cost-effective manner. Consumers will also need to be made aware of the advantages of the LiDAR

Table of Contents

technology compared to competing technologies, specifically those with different sensor arrays, such as camera, and radar in automotive, and camera, infrared and microwave in security. If consumer acceptance of LiDAR technology in the global Sensing Solutions Market does not occur or occurs more slowly than we expect, sales of our products could also be adversely affected.

Product integration could face complications or unpredictable difficulties, which may adversely impact customer adoption of our products and our financial performance.

Our products typically function as part of a system, and are therefore integrated with other sensing technologies, software products and customer applications. Required integration efforts can be time consuming and costly and there is no guarantee that results will be satisfactory to the end customer. These challenges are even more present in the automotive sector where components are subject to as much as several years of product and design validation before they are fitted into a vehicle program. While the company works with system integrators which lend their experience to these workstreams, there is no guarantee that unforeseen delays or setback would not arise that would impair our ability to launch with key programs across our sectors of focus.

The market for LiDAR sensors is highly competitive and many companies are actively focusing on LiDAR technology or competing technologies based on camera, radar or other technologies. If we fail to differentiate ourselves and compete successfully with these companies, many of which have substantially greater resources, our products may become obsolete and it will be difficult for us to attract customers and our business will be harmed.

The LiDAR sensor market is becoming increasingly competitive and global. Our competitors are numerous and they compete with us directly by offering LiDAR products and indirectly by attempting to solve some of the same challenges with different technology. We face competition from camera and radar companies, other developers of LiDAR products, and other technology and supply companies, some of which have already completed SPAC transactions and have significantly greater resources than we do. Some examples of our competitors include Velodyne, Innoviz Technologies Ltd., Aeva, Inc., Luminar Technologies, Inc., Hesai Technology Co., Ltd., AEye, Ouster, Inc., and Ibeo Automotive Systems GmbH among others.

Over the last few years we have seen a proliferation of entrants into the LiDAR market with various technical approaches intended to reduce the size of the LiDAR sensors, such as flash LiDAR, micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) mirrors, and downsized macroscale oscillating technology. Concurrently, in

non-automotive

applications we have seen increased competition as companies have sought to offset the delayed introduction of autonomous vehicles by focusing in other areas. While we believe that our solid-state approach will yield a desired reduction in size, cost and reliability that customers require, we expect competition will remain stiff from new companies with products based on existing and new technologies. We also think more companies will look to compete with us by offering paired hardware/software solutions to compete with our smart spaces / security applications. Our products may become obsolete as LiDAR and other competing technologies continue to progress.

This increased competition could result in pricing pressure, lower revenue and gross profit. To remain competitive and maintain our position as a leading sensing technology provider, we need to continuously invest in product research and development, service and support, and product distribution infrastructure as well as sales and marketing. We may not have sufficient resources to continue to make the investments needed to maintain our competitive position. In addition, certain of our competitors have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical, sales, marketing and other resources than us. These competitors may also be able to adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies or standards and may be able to deliver products and services at a lower cost. Increased competition could reduce our market share, revenue and operating margins, increase our operating costs, harm our competitive position and otherwise harm our business.

Autonomous and highly automated vehicles rely on a complex set of technologies, and there is no assurance that the rate of acceptance and adoption of these technologies will increase in the near future or that a market for fully autonomous vehicles will develop.

Autonomous and highly automated driving relies on a complex set of technologies, which requires the coordinated development of sensing, mapping, object detection and classification as well as path planning and navigation. These functions and capabilities are in different stages of development, and their reliability must continue to improve in order to meet the higher standards required for autonomous driving. Sensing technology provides information to the car and includes the physical sensors, as well as object classification and perception software. In many cases, it will be sold as part of a system where it must work within the core autonomous driving platform of an original equipment manufacturer. If customer technology is not ready to be deployed in vehicle models when our sensing technology is ready for adoption, launch of production could be delayed, perhaps for a significant time period, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

There are a number of additional challenges to autonomous driving, all of which are outside of our control, including market acceptance of autonomous driving, particularly fully autonomous driving, national or state certification requirements and other regulatory measures, concerns regarding litigation, cyber security risks, as well as a general aversion by some consumers to the idea of self-driving vehicles. There can be no assurance that the market will accept any vehicle model, including a vehicle containing our technology, in which case our future business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Our ability to market our LiDAR technology outside of automotive applications may take longer than we anticipate and may not be successful.

We are investing in and pursuing market opportunities outside of the automotive markets, including in mapping applications for topography and surveying, security, industrial automation and smart city and smart spaces initiatives. We believe that our future revenue growth, if any, will depend in part on our ability to expand within new markets such as these and to enter new markets as they emerge. Each of these markets presents distinct risks and, in many cases, requires us to address the particular requirements of that market. For example, our ability to sell into the mapping end markets could be negatively impacted if our customers in that segment utilize alternative LiDAR technologies for aerial and terrestrial mapping. Smart spaces customers could find alternative methods to address flow management requirements. And within industrial the industrial markets, our success is highly dependent on presenting a compelling and differentiated price-performance advantage relative to established players in the market.

With the exception of industrial automation, the market for LiDAR technology outside of automotive applications is relatively new, rapidly developing and unproven in many markets or industries. Many of our customers in these areas are still in the testing and development phases and it cannot be certain that they will commercialize products or systems with our LiDAR products or at all. We cannot be certain that LiDAR will be sold into these markets at scale. Adoption of LiDAR products, including our products, outside of the automotive industry will depend on numerous factors, including: whether the technological capabilities of LiDAR and LiDAR-based products meet users’ current or anticipated needs, whether the benefits of designing LiDAR into larger sensing systems outweigh the costs, complexity and time needed to deploy such technology or replace or modify existing systems that may have used other modalities such as cameras and radar, whether users in other applications can move beyond the testing and development phases and proceed to commercializing systems supported by LiDAR technology and whether LiDAR developers, such as us, can keep pace with rapid technological change in certain developing markets and the global response to the

COVID-19

pandemic. If LiDAR technology does not achieve commercial success outside of the automotive industry, or if the market develops at a pace slower than we expect, our business, results of operation and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.

Our new product lines could face difficulties gaining market traction and adversely impact the Company’s financial performance.

One of the challenges inherent in developing hardware is long development times. Our products have lengthy design, test & validation and production cycles that can require multiple iterations. There can be no guarantee that by the time a product comes to market it will have the right performance, specifications, and cost to address the use cases it was originally designed for. Conversely, even if the characteristics of the product are correct for its original purpose, there is the additional risk that the needs of the market may have evolved and changed requiring further alterations to the product or a different solution which could significantly impact demand for our products.

The S 3 program was developed with automotive requirements in mind encompassing factors such as range, resolution, horizontal and vertical field of view, and of course cost and reliability. There can be no assurance that our devices will meet customer requirements for all of these specifications or that they will outperform products developed by our competitors. Additionally, as discussed in the risk factor above, given the significant development time required with multiple iterations of customized silicon, it is possible original equipment manufacturers (OEM) requirements may shift away from the product requirements that our LiDAR sensors were originally designed for. Such an outcome would materially impact our revenue plans particularly in out years where the contribution from automotive is expected to be most meaningful.

Currently, the largest part of our M Series sales are for flow management solutions like security, smart city, and smart spaces applications. While we have seen promising levels of activity from potential end users evaluating LiDAR for these applications, the technology is relatively new to this market and there can be no guarantee that industry adoption will occur at the pace contemplated in our forecasts. Conversely, LiDAR has been an important technology for the industrial market for some time, supported by well-established players like Sick AG, P&F and Hokuyo. While the company has a presence in port automation and is expecting to expand its position through new product introductions, there is a risk that these products could fail to gain traction against very well established competitors in these end markets.

Our Optical Phased Array (“OPA”) based product could fail to meet industry requirements for range, resolution or general performance or we could fall short of our cost objections for

OPA-based

LiDAR, thereby limiting our revenue potential.

Our

OPA-based

solid state LiDAR was designed and developed from the ground up. All the main semiconductor components are custom designed

in-house

and fabricated and packaged by third party partners. Each generation of technology node consists of iterations of one or multiple components. The integration of all these together with the rest of the electrical, mechanical and firmware modules is a complex system integration exercise. Problems could arise during this process to cause the planned product to fall short on some requirements, including range, resolution, other performance parameters, or cost objections. The resulting delay could slow down our

time-to-market

efforts, limit our revenue potential or lead to negative impressions on customer engagements, any of which would harm our business.

Unforeseen safety issues with our products could result in injuries to people which could result in adverse effects on our business and reputation.

Our LiDAR utilizes lasers for performing 3D sensing. While we have developed system components designed to prevent our LiDAR lasers from harming human eyes, in the event that an unforeseen issue arises that results in serious injury, our reputation or brand may be damaged and we could face legal claims for breach of contract, product liability, tort or breach of warranty as a result of these problems. Defending such a lawsuit, regardless of its merit, could be costly and may divert management’s attention and adversely affect the market’s perception of our Company and our products. In addition, our business liability insurance coverage could be inadequate with respect to a claim and future coverage may be unavailable on acceptable terms or at all.

Table of Contents

We create innovative technology by designing and developing unique components. A failure to achieve scale may affect our ability to sell at competitive prices, limit our customer base or may lead to losses.

We incur significant costs related to procuring the raw materials and components required to manufacture our high-performance LiDAR systems, assembling LiDAR systems and compensating our personnel. If our volumes do not ramp up as planned we may be unable to obtain anticipated material costs benefits, or expected levels of fixed cost absorption that are needed to achieve our targeted margins and our operating results, business and prospects will be harmed. Furthermore, many of the factors that impact our operating costs are beyond our control. For example, the costs of our raw materials and components could increase due to shortages as global demand for these products increases.

The manufacture of our LiDAR systems is a complex process, and it is often difficult for companies to achieve acceptable product yields which could decrease available supply and increase costs. LiDAR system yields depend on both our product design and the manufacturing processes of our manufacturing partners. Because low yields may result from either design defects or process difficulties, we may not identify yield problems until well into the production cycle, when an actual product defect exists and can be analyzed and tested. In addition, many of these yield problems are difficult to diagnose and time consuming or expensive to remedy.

Developments in alternative

non-LiDAR

technologies may adversely affect the demand for LiDAR sensors.

Significant developments in alternative technologies, such as cameras and radar, may materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results in ways we do not currently anticipate. Existing and other camera and radar technologies may emerge as customers’ preferred alternative to our solutions. Any failure by us to develop new or enhanced technologies or processes, or to react to changes in existing technologies, could materially delay our development and introduction of new and enhanced products in the autonomous vehicle industry, which could result in the loss of competitiveness of our LiDAR solutions, decreased revenue and a loss of market share to competitors. Our research and development efforts may not be sufficient to adapt to changes in technology. For example, although we believe that LiDAR technology is, and will continue to be, a critical component to the active safety and autonomous vehicle markets it is possible that other sensor types, such as camera or radar or yet another disruptive modality based on new or existing technology, will achieve acceptance or dominance in the market. If such competing technology gains acceptance by the market, regulators and safety organizations in place of or as a substitute for LiDAR technology, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected

As technologies change, we plan to upgrade or adapt our LiDAR solutions with the latest technology. However, our solutions may not compete effectively with alternative systems if we are not able to source and integrate the latest technology into our existing LiDAR solutions.

Adverse conditions in the global Sensing Solutions Market or the global economy more generally could have adverse effects on our results of operations.

Our business partially depends on, and is directly affected by, the global Sensing Solution Markets. As in any manufacturing industry, production and sales can be cyclical and depend on general economic conditions and other factors, including consumer spending and preferences, changes in interest rate levels and credit availability, consumer confidence, raw material costs, availability of competing products or technologies, environmental impact, governmental incentives and regulatory requirements, and political volatility, especially in growth markets. Original equipment manufacturers which make products that may incorporate our sensing solution (e.g., car makers that ultimately sell completed vehicles to consumers) (“OEMs”) may experience difficulties from weakened economies and tightened credit markets. The industrial market may see weakened demand for instillations in the areas of robotics and AGVs. In the flow management space we could continue to see project delays in key areas like airports, ports, intersections, and security applications as infrastructure upgrades are delayed. Any significant adverse change in any of these factors, including, but not limited to, general economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our future success will depend on our ability to train, retain and motivate skilled sales managers and direct sales representatives with significant technical knowledge and understanding of our products. Because of the competition for their skill set, we may not be able to attract or retain such personnel on reasonable terms. If we are unable to grow our global sales and marketing organization, we may not be able to increase our revenue, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Additionally, our growth outlook relies on adding a number of strategic channel partners to our network to help support the sales of our products. It may take time to identify and add these partners, to train new personnel to market and support our products. In addition, our distributors may not successfully market and sell our products and may not devote sufficient time and resources that we believe are necessary to enable our products to develop, achieve or sustain market acceptance. Any of these factors could reduce our revenue or impair our revenue growth in affected markets, increase our costs in those markets or damage our reputation. As a result of our reliance on third-party distributors, we may be subject to disruptions and increased costs due to factors beyond our control, including labor strikes, third-party errors and other issues. If the services of any of these third-party distributors become unsatisfactory, we may experience delays in meeting our customers’ demands and we may be unable to find a suitable replacement on a timely basis or on commercially reasonable terms. Any failure to deliver products in a timely manner may damage our reputation and could cause us to lose potential customers.

We currently have and target many customers, suppliers and production counterparties that are large corporations with substantial negotiating power, exacting product, quality and warranty standards and potentially competitive internal solutions. If we are unable to sell our products to these customers or are unable to enter into agreements with customers, suppliers and production counterparties on satisfactory terms, our prospects and results of operations will be adversely affected.

Several of our customers and potential customers are large, multinational corporations with substantial negotiating power relative to us. These large, multinational corporations also have significant development resources, which may allow them to acquire or develop independently, or in partnership with others, competitive technologies. Meeting the technical requirements and securing design wins with any of these companies will require a substantial investment of our time and resource. We cannot assure you that our products will secure design wins from these or other companies or that we will generate meaningful revenue from the sales of our products to these key potential customers. If our products are not selected by these large corporations or if these corporations develop or acquire competitive technology, it will have an adverse effect on our business.

Our business would be adversely affected if not enough customers and partners, including OEMs, were to adopt our products or those customers and partners that adopt our products were to change their design or systems and not include our products in future models.

We currently have no high-volume automotive OEM that has adopted our products in its ADAS/AV systems. For the most part our principal customers and partners have been in mapping, flow management, and industrial applications where rates of adoption of our products are still low. We will need to expand our customer base and partner network rapidly to grow our sales revenue. If not enough customers and partners were to adopt our products or those customers and partners that adopt our products were to determine not to incorporate our products in their future models generally due to a change to their model design, systems or otherwise, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected.

Table of Contents

We invest effort and money seeking customers’ validation of our products in the Sensing Solutions Market, and there can be no assurance that we will win their acceptance in a timely manner or at all. If we do not win sufficient acceptance from our customers, our future business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

We invest significant effort and money in proof of concepts and pilot programs designed to get customers familiar with our sensing solution for their products and systems. Customers in the Sensing Solution Markets will acquire our products from us or our partners and integrate them into their products and systems that they manufacture. The Company could fail to secure proof of concept opportunities for new products, or fail to perform during proof of concept opportunities and expend our resources without obtaining such “design wins.” In addition, the firm with the winning design may have an advantage with the customer going forward because of the established relationship between the winning firm and such customer, which could make it more difficult for such firm’s competitors to win the designs for other products and systems such customer produces. If we fail to win a significant number of customer design competitions in the future, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected.

We must successfully manage product introductions and transitions in order to remain competitive.

We must continually develop new and improved sensing solutions that meet changing consumer demands. Moreover, the introduction of new products is a complex task, involving significant expenditures in research and development, promotion and sales channel development, and management of existing inventories to reduce the cost associated with returns and slow moving inventory. As new sensing solutions are introduced, we have to monitor closely the inventory at our contract manufacturers, and phase out the manufacture of prior versions in a controlled manner. Moreover, we must introduce new sensing solutions in a timely and cost-effective manner, and we must secure production orders for those solutions from our contract manufacturers and component suppliers. The development of new sensing solutions is a highly complex process, and while we have a large number of product introductions coming, the successful development and introduction of new sensing solutions depends on a number of factors, including the following:

•

the accuracy of our forecasts for market requirements beyond near term visibility;

•

our ability to anticipate and react to new technologies and evolving consumer trends;

•

our development, licensing or acquisition of new technologies;

•

our timely completion of new designs and development;

•

the ability of our contract manufacturers to cost-effectively manufacture our new sensing solutions;

•

the availability of materials and key components used in the manufacture of our new sensing solutions; and

•

our ability to attract and retain world-class research and development personnel.

If any of these or other factors becomes problematic, we may not be able to develop and introduce new sensing solutions in a timely or cost-effective manner, and our business may be harmed.

Our international expansion plans, if implemented, will subject us to a variety of risks that may harm our business.

We have limited experience managing the administrative aspects of a global organization. While we intend to continue to explore opportunities to expand our business in international Sensing Solution Markets in which we see compelling opportunities, we may not be able to create or maintain international market demand for our products. In addition, as we expand our operations internationally, our support organization will face additional challenges, including those associated with delivering support, training and documentation in languages other than English. We may also be subject to new statutory restrictions and risks. If we invest substantial time and resources to expand our international operations and are unable to do so successfully and in a timely manner, our business and financial condition may be harmed.

Table of Contents

In the course of expanding our international operations and operating overseas, we will be subject to a variety of risks, including:

•

differing regulatory requirements, including tax laws, trade laws, labor regulations, tariffs, export quotas, custom duties or other trade restrictions;

•

greater difficulty supporting and localizing our products;

•

challenges inherent in efficiently managing an increased number of employees over large geographic distances, including the need to implement appropriate systems, policies, compensation and benefits and compliance programs;

•

differing legal and court systems, including limited or unfavorable intellectual property protection;

•

risk of change in international political or economic conditions;

•

restrictions on the repatriation of earnings; and

•

working capital constraints.

In the automotive industry, the period of time from a design win to implementation is long, and we are subject to the risks of cancellation or postponement of contracts or unsuccessful implementation.

Our products are technologically complex, incorporate many technological innovations and are often intended for use in safety applications. Prospective OEM customers generally must make significant commitments of resources to test and validate our products before including them in any particular product or system. The development cycles of our products with new OEM customers can be long after a design win, if we successfully obtain it, depending on the OEM and the complexity of the product and system in question. These development cycles may make it necessary for us to invest our resources prior to realizing any revenues from the OEMs that adopted our product. Further, we are subject to the risk that an OEM cancels or postpones implementation of our technology, as well as that we will not be able to implement our technology successfully. Further, our sales could be less than forecast if the ultimate product or system is unsuccessful in the Sensing Solution Markets, including for reasons unrelated to our product or technology. Long development cycles and product cancellations or postponements may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Continued pricing pressures and customer cost reduction initiatives may result in lower than anticipated margins, or losses, which may adversely affect our business.

Cost-cutting initiatives adopted by our customers often result in increased downward pressure on pricing. We expect that the Company’s agreements with our customers may require step-downs in pricing over the term of the agreement or, if commercialized, over the period of production. In addition, our customers may reserve the right to terminate their supply contracts for convenience, which enhances their ability to obtain price reductions. Automotive OEMs also possess significant leverage over their suppliers, because the automotive component supply industry is highly competitive, serves a limited number of customers and has a high fixed cost base. We expect to be subject to substantial continuing pressure from customers and suppliers to reduce the price of our products. It is possible that pricing pressures beyond our expectations could intensify as customers, industry-wide, pursue restructuring, consolidation and cost-cutting initiatives. If we are unable to generate sufficient production cost savings in the future to offset price reductions, our gross margin and profitability would be adversely affected.

We continue to make investments and implement initiatives designed to grow our business, including:

•

investing in research and development;

Table of Contents

•

expanding our sales and marketing efforts to attract new customers across industries;

•

investing in new applications and markets for our products;

•

further enhancing our manufacturing processes and partnerships; and

•

investing in legal, accounting, and other administrative functions necessary to support our operations as a public company.

These initiatives may prove more expensive than we currently anticipate, and we may not succeed in increasing our revenue, if at all, in an amount sufficient to offset these higher expenses and to achieve and maintain profitability. The market opportunities we are pursuing are at an early stage of development, and it may be many years before the end markets we expect to serve generate significant demand for our products at scale, if at all.

In addition, our revenue may be adversely affected for a number of reasons, including the development and/or market acceptance of new technology that competes with our LiDAR products, failure of our customers to commercialize systems that include our LiDAR solutions, our inability to effectively manage our inventory or manufacture products at scale, our failure to enter new markets or to attract new customers or expand orders from existing customers or due to increasing competition. Furthermore, it is difficult to predict the size and growth rate of our target markets, customer demand for our products, commercialization timelines, developments in sensing and related technology, the entry of competitive products, or the success of existing competitive products and services. Accordingly, we do not expect to achieve profitability over the near term. If our revenue does not grow over the long term, our ability to achieve and maintain profitability may be adversely affected, and the value of its business may significantly decrease.

If our efforts to build a strong brand and maintain customer satisfaction and loyalty are not successful, or we are subject to negative publicity, we may not be able to attract or retain customers, and our business may be harmed.

Building and maintaining a strong brand is important to attract and retain customers, as potential customers have a number of choices among on a variety of sensing solutions. Successfully building a brand is a time consuming and comprehensive endeavor, and can be positively and negatively impacted by any number of factors. Our competitors may be able to achieve and maintain brand awareness and market share more quickly and effectively than we can. Customer use case optimization issues associated with new product launches could also impair our brand perception. If we are unable to execute on building a strong brand, it may be difficult to differentiate our business from our competitors in the marketplace.

Risks Related to Manufacturing and Supply

Our “in house” manufacturing operation is primarily focused on new product introductions and prototype builds, and as such we rely on a small number of contract manufacturers for production. Our contract manufacturers and manufacturing partners are vulnerable to capacity constraints and reduced component availability, and our control over delivery schedules, manufacturing yields and costs is limited particularly when components are in short supply or when we introduce a new sensor or sensing system. In addition, we have limited control over our contract manufacturers’ quality systems and controls, and therefore must rely on them to manufacture our products to our quality and performance standards and specifications, and we must remain in agreement on the substantive commercial terms governing our commercial relationships with these suppliers. Delays, component shortages and other manufacturing and supply problems could impair the retail distribution of our products and ultimately our brand. Furthermore, any adverse change in our contract manufacturers’ financial or business condition could disrupt our ability to supply products to our distributors and customers.

Table of Contents

If our primary and secondary contract manufacturers or manufacturing partners fails for any reason to continue manufacturing our products in required volumes and at high quality levels, or at all, we would have to identify, select and qualify new acceptable alternative contract manufacturers. Alternative contract manufacturers may not be in a position to satisfy our production requirements at commercially reasonable prices or to our quality and performance standards within the required time line. Any significant interruption in manufacturing would require us to reduce our supply of products to our distributors and customers, which in turn would reduce our revenue and growth.

We have little experience manufacturing our products at full commercial scale. If our products are adopted by a large number of customers and/or by customers requiring a large amount of supply, we will face certain risks associated with scaling up our manufacturing capabilities to support such mass commercial production.

We do not have experience in manufacturing our products on a mass scale. If our products are adopted by a large number of customers and/or by customers requiring a large amount of supply, we may need to expand our manufacturing facilities, add manufacturing personnel and ensure that validated processes are consistently implemented in our facilities and potentially enter into relationships with third-party manufacturers. The upgrade and expansion of our facilities may require additional regulatory approvals. In addition, it will be costly and time-consuming to expand our facilities and recruit necessary additional personnel. If we are unable to expand our manufacturing facilities in compliance with regulatory requirements or to hire additional necessary manufacturing personnel, we may encounter delays or additional costs in achieving our research, development and commercialization objectives, including researching and developing new sensing solutions, which could materially damage our business and financial prospects.

If we fail to accurately forecast our manufacturing requirements and manage our inventory with our contract manufacturers, we could incur additional costs, be required to write-down the value of our inventory and other assets, experience manufacturing delays and lose revenue.

We bear supply risk under our contract manufacturing arrangements. Lead times for the materials and components that our contract manufacturers order on our behalf through different component suppliers vary significantly and depend on numerous factors, including the specific supplier, contract terms and market demand for a component at a given time. Lead times for certain key materials and components incorporated into our products are currently lengthy, requiring our contract manufacturers to order materials and components several months in advance. If we overestimate our production requirements, our contract manufacturers may purchase excess components and build excess inventory. If our contract manufacturers, at our request, purchase excess components that are unique to our products, we could be required to pay for these excess components. If we incur costs to cover excess supply commitments, this would harm our business.

Conversely, if we underestimate our requirements, our contract manufacturers may have inadequate component inventory, which could interrupt the manufacturing of our products and result in delays or cancellation of orders from distributors and customers. If we fail to accurately forecast our manufacturing requirements, our business may be harmed.

Our products incorporate key components, including computer chips, from sole source suppliers and if our contract manufacturers are unable to source these components on a timely basis, due to fabrication capacity issues or other material supply constraints, or if there are interruptions in our, or our contract manufacturers, relationships with these third party suppliers, we will not be able to deliver our products to our distributors and customers which would adversely impact our business.

We depend on sole source suppliers for key components in our products. These sole source suppliers could be constrained by fabrication capacity issues or material supply issues, stop producing such components, cease operations or be acquired by, or enter into exclusive arrangements with, our competitors or other companies. In many cases, we do not have long-term supply agreements with these suppliers. Instead, our contract

Table of Contents

manufacturers typically purchase the components required to manufacture our products on a purchase order basis. As a result, most of these suppliers can stop selling to us at any time, requiring us to find another source, or can raise their prices, which could impact our gross margins. Any such interruption or delay may force us to seek similar components from alternative sources, which may not be available.

Our reliance on sole source suppliers involves a number of additional risks, including risks related to:

•

supplier capacity constraints;

•

price increases;

•

timely delivery;

•

component quality; and

•

delays in, or the inability to execute on, a supplier roadmap for components and technologies.

Any interruption in the supply of sole source components for our products could adversely affect our ability to meet scheduled deliveries to our distributors and customers, result in lost sales and higher expenses and harm our business.

Our manufacturing costs may remain elevated and result in a market price for our product above the price that customers are willing to pay.

If the cost of manufacturing our LiDAR products remains high, we will be forced to charge our customers a high price for the product in order to cover our costs and earn a profit. While we expect our products will benefit from significant cost reduction over time from scale and planned redesigns, there is no guarantee that these efforts will be successful, or that these savings won’t be offset by additional required content. If the price of our products is too high, customers may be reluctant to purchase our products, especially if lower priced alternative products are available, and we may not be able to sell our products in sufficient volumes to recover our costs of development and manufacture or to earn a profit.

Our suppliers could raise prices on key components, which may adversely affect our profitability.

Significant increases in the cost of certain components used in our products, to the extent they are not timely reflected in the price we charge our customers, could materially and adversely impact our results. For example, over the last 6 months we have experienced significant increases in prices for electronic components, as well as significantly increased lead times. We sought to address these increases by carrying safety stock of critical components, evaluating alternative components, suppliers and processes, reviewing component substitution opportunities, and aggressively negotiating larger quantities with our vendors to ensure adequate supply. Certain of our key component manufacturers and suppliers have the ability, in our contracts, to periodically increase their prices. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will not face increased prices in the future or, if we do, whether we will be effective in containing margin pressures from any further component price increases.

Components used in our sensors may fail as a result of manufacturing, design or other defects over which we have no control and render our devices permanently inoperable.

We rely on third-party component suppliers to provide certain functionalities needed for the operation and use of our devices. Any errors or defects in such third-party technology could result in errors in our sensors that could harm our business. If these components have a manufacturing, design or other defect, they can cause our sensors to fail and render them permanently inoperable. As a result, we may have to replace these sensors at our sole cost and expense. Should we have a widespread problem of this kind, our reputation in the market could be adversely affected and our replacement of these sensors would harm our business.

Table of Contents

Our sensors and sensing systems are highly technical and could be vulnerable to hardware errors or software bugs, which may harm our reputation and our business.

Bugs and errors could diminish performance, create security vulnerabilities, affect data quality in logs or interfere with interpretation of data, and cause malfunctions or even permanently disabled sensors. Some errors may only be detected under certain circumstances or after extended use. We update our software and firmware on a regular basis, in spite of extensive quality screening, if a bug were to occur in the process of an update, it could result in devices becoming inoperable or permanently disabled.

We offer a limited warranty on all sensors and any such defects discovered in our products could result in loss of revenue or delay in revenue recognition, loss of customer goodwill and increased service costs, any of which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition. We could also face claims for product or information liability, tort or breach of warranty. Defending a lawsuit, regardless of its merit, is costly and may divert management’s attention and adversely affect the market’s perception of us and our devices. In addition, if our business liability insurance coverage proves inadequate or future coverage is unavailable on acceptable terms or at all, our business could be harmed.

We may incur significant direct or indirect liabilities in connection with our product warranties which could adversely affect our business and operating results.

We typically offer a limited product warranty that requires our products to conform to the applicable specifications and be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a limited warranty period. As a result of increased competition and changing standards in our target markets, we may be required to increase our warranty period length and the scope of our warranty. To be competitive, we may be required to implement these increases before we are able to determine the economic impact of an increase. Accordingly, we may be at risk that any such warranty increase could result in foreseeable and unforeseeable losses for the company.

Risks Related to Intellectual Property

If we fail to protect or enforce our intellectual property or proprietary rights, our business and operating results could be harmed.

We regard the protection of our patents, trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks, trade dress, domain names and other intellectual property or proprietary rights as critical to our success. We strive to protect our intellectual property rights by relying on federal, state and common law rights, as well as contractual restrictions. We seek to protect our confidential proprietary information, in part, by entering into confidentiality agreements and invention assignment agreements with all our employees, consultants, advisors and any third parties who have access to our proprietary

know-how,

information or technology. However, we cannot be certain that we have executed such agreements with all parties who may have helped to develop our intellectual property or who had access to our proprietary information, nor can we be certain that our agreements will not be breached. Any party with whom we have executed such an agreement could potentially breach that agreement and disclose our proprietary information, including our trade secrets, and we may not be able to obtain adequate remedies for such breaches. We cannot guarantee that our trade secrets and other confidential proprietary information will not be disclosed or that competitors will not otherwise gain access to our trade secrets or independently develop substantially equivalent information and techniques. Detecting the disclosure or misappropriation of a trade secret and enforcing a claim that a party illegally disclosed or misappropriated a trade secret is difficult, time-consuming and could result in substantial costs and the outcome of such a claim is unpredictable. Further, the laws of certain foreign countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent or in the same manner as the laws of the United States. As a result, we may encounter significant problems in protecting and defending our intellectual property or proprietary rights both in the United States and abroad. If we are unable to prevent the disclosure of our trade secrets to third parties, or if our competitors independently develop any of our trade secrets, we may not be able to establish or maintain a competitive advantage in our market, which could harm our business.

Table of Contents

We have 22 technology patents granted and have filed an additional eight applications and will in the future file patent applications on inventions that we deem to be innovative. There is no guarantee that our patent applications will be issued as granted patents, that the scope of the protection gained will be sufficient or that an issued patent may subsequently be deemed invalid or unenforceable. Patent laws, and scope of coverage afforded by them, have recently been subject to significant changes, such as the change to

“first-to-file”

from

“first-to-invent”

resulting from the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act. This change in the determination of inventorship may result in inventors and companies having to file patent applications more frequently to preserve rights in their inventions, which may favor larger competitors that have the resources to file more patent applications. Another change to the patent laws may incentivize third parties to challenge any issued patent in the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”), as opposed to having to bring such an action in U.S. federal court. Any invalidation of a patent claim could have a significant impact on our ability to protect the innovations contained within our devices and could harm our business.

The USPTO and various foreign governmental patent agencies require compliance with a number of procedural, documentary, fee payment and other provisions to maintain patent applications and issued patents. We may fail to take the necessary actions and to pay the applicable fees to obtain or maintain our patents.

Non-compliance

with these requirements can result in abandonment or lapse of a patent or patent application, resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. In such an event, competitors might be able to use our technologies and enter the market earlier than would otherwise have been the case.

We pursue the registration of our domain names, trademarks and service marks in the United States and in certain locations outside the United States. We are seeking to protect our trademarks, patents and domain names in an increasing number of jurisdictions, a process that is expensive and time-consuming and may not be successful or which we may not pursue in every location.

Litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property or proprietary rights, protect our trade secrets or determine the validity and scope of proprietary rights claimed by others. Any litigation of this nature, regardless of outcome or merit, could result in substantial costs, adverse publicity or diversion of management and technical resources, any of which could adversely affect our business and operating results. If we fail to maintain, protect and enhance our intellectual property or proprietary rights, our business may be harmed.

We are currently involved in patent litigation proceedings with Velodyne in the Northern District of California and an appeal from the Patent Trial and Appeal Board at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

In August 2016, Velodyne alleged patent infringement and threatened litigation against us. In response, we filed a complaint in the Northern District of California seeking a declaratory judgment of

non-infringement

of Velodyne’s patent. Velodyne filed its answer and counterclaim for infringement of its patent and we filed our answer on January 16, 2017. In October 2017, the court issued a claim construction order construing eight terms in Velodyne’s patent. In November 2017, we filed two petitions for inter partes review (“IPR”) before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“PTAB”), asserting that all asserted claims of Velodyne’s patent are invalid over prior art. In January 2018, the court granted a stipulation filed by the parties, staying the district court litigation until the patent office decided whether to grant or deny our pending petitions. In March 2018, Velodyne filed its responses to both of the Company’s petitions. In May 2018, the PTAB instituted both IPRs on all petitioned claims and issued Final Written Decisions finding all petitioned claims are not invalid. We petitioned for rehearing in June 2019, which the PTAB denied in May 2020, Quanergy filed an appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (“CAFC”) for each IPR (consolidated as docket no.

CAFC-20-2070).

Oral argument was held on July 7, 2021. We are currently awaiting a decision from the CAFC. Nevertheless, this litigation, as with any other litigation, is subject to uncertainty and an unfavorable outcome may result in a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial position, and overall trends.

Table of Contents

Third parties, including Velodyne (referenced in preceding risk factor) have asserted, and may in the future assert, that we have infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated their intellectual property rights.

As we face increasing competition, the possibility of intellectual property rights claims against us will grow. Plaintiffs who have no relevant product revenue may not be deterred by our own issued patent and pending patent applications in bringing intellectual property rights claims against us. The cost of patent litigation or other proceedings, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial. Some of our competitors may be better able to sustain the costs of such litigation or proceedings because of their substantially greater financial resources. Patent litigation and other proceedings may also require significant management time and divert management from our business. Uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of patent litigation or other proceedings could impair our ability to compete in the marketplace. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could harm our business.

As a result of intellectual property infringement claims, or to avoid potential claims, we may choose or be required to seek licenses from third parties. These licenses may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Even if we are able to obtain a license, the license would likely obligate us to pay license fees or royalties or both, and the rights granted to us might be nonexclusive, with the potential for our competitors to gain access to the same intellectual property. In addition, the rights that we secure under intellectual property licenses may not include rights to all of the intellectual property owned or controlled by the licensor, and the scope of the licenses granted to us may not include rights covering all of the products and services provided by us and our licensees. Furthermore, an adverse outcome of a dispute may require us to pay damages, potentially including treble damages and attorneys’ fees, if we are found to have willfully infringed a party’s intellectual property; cease making, licensing or using technologies that are alleged to infringe or misappropriate the intellectual property of others; expend additional development resources to redesign our solutions; enter into potentially unfavorable royalty or license agreements in order to obtain the right to use necessary technologies, content or materials; and to indemnify our partners and other third parties. In addition, any lawsuits regarding intellectual property rights, regardless of their success, could be expensive to resolve and would divert the time and attention of our management and technical personnel.

In addition to patented technology, we rely on our unpatented proprietary technology, trade secrets, designs, experiences, work flows, data, processes, software and

know-how.

We rely on proprietary information (such as trade secrets,

know-how

and confidential information) to protect intellectual property that may not be patentable or subject to copyright, trademark, trade dress or service mark protection, or that we believe is best protected by means that do not require public disclosure. We generally seek to protect this proprietary information by entering into confidentiality agreements, or consulting, services or employment agreements that contain

non-disclosure

and

non-use

provisions with our employees, consultants, contractors and third parties. However, we may fail to enter into the necessary agreements, and even if entered into, these agreements may be breached or may otherwise fail to prevent disclosure, third-party infringement or misappropriation of our proprietary information, may be limited as to their term and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure or use of proprietary information. We have limited control over the protection of trade secrets used by our current or future manufacturing partners and suppliers and could lose future trade secret protection if any unauthorized disclosure of such information occurs. In addition, our proprietary information may otherwise become known or be independently developed by our competitors or other third parties. To the extent that our employees, consultants, contractors, advisors and other third parties use intellectual property owned by others in their work for us, disputes may arise as to the rights in related or resulting

know-how

and inventions. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary rights, and failure to obtain or maintain protection for our proprietary information could adversely affect our competitive business position. Furthermore, laws regarding trade secret rights in certain markets where we operate may afford little or no protection to its trade secrets.

Table of Contents

We also rely on physical and electronic security measures to protect our proprietary information, but we cannot provide assurance that these security measures will not be breached or provide adequate protection for our property. There is a risk that third parties may obtain and improperly utilize our proprietary information to our competitive disadvantage. We may not be able to detect or prevent the unauthorized use of such information or take appropriate and timely steps to enforce our intellectual property rights.

If we are unable to obtain necessary or desirable third-party technology licenses, our ability to develop new products or enhancements may be impaired.

We utilize commercially available

off-the-shelf

technology in the development of our devices. As we continue to introduce new features or improvements, we may be required to license additional technologies from third parties. These third-party licenses may be unavailable to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain necessary third-party licenses, we may be required to obtain substitute technologies with lower quality or performance standards, or at a greater cost, any of which could harm the competitiveness of our business.

Under certain of our agreements, we are required to provide indemnification in the event our technology is alleged to infringe upon the intellectual property rights of third parties.

In certain of our agreements we indemnify our licensees, manufacturing partners and suppliers. We could incur significant expenses defending these partners if they are sued for patent infringement based on allegations related to our technology. In addition, if a partner were to lose a lawsuit and in turn seek indemnification from us, we could be subject to significant monetary liabilities. While such contracts typically give us multiple remedies for addressing instances of infringements, such remedies (e.g. product modification, purchase of licenses) could be expensive and difficult to administer.

Risks Related to Compliance

We may become involved in legal and regulatory proceedings and commercial or contractual disputes, which could have an adverse effect on our profitability and financial position.

We may be, from time to time, involved in litigation, regulatory proceedings and commercial or contractual disputes that may be significant. These matters may include, without limitation, disputes with our suppliers and customers, intellectual property claims, stockholder litigation, government investigations, class action lawsuits, personal injury claims, environmental issues, customs and VAT disputes and employment and tax issues. In addition, we have in the past and could face in the future a variety of labor and employment claims against us, related to but not limited to general employment practices and wrongful acts. In such matters, private parties or other entities may seek to recover from us indeterminate amounts in penalties or monetary damages. These types of lawsuits could require significant management time and attention or could involve substantial legal liability, and/or substantial expenses to defend. Often these cases raise complex factual and legal issues and create risks and uncertainties. No assurances can be given that any proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position or that our established reserves or our available insurance will mitigate this impact.

We manufacture and sell products that contain electronic components, and such components may contain materials that are subject to government regulation in both the locations where we manufacture and assembles our products, as well as the locations where we sell our products. For example, certain regulations limit the use of lead in electronic components. Since we operate on a global basis, this is a complex process which requires continuous monitoring of regulations and an ongoing compliance process to ensure that we, and our suppliers,

Table of Contents

are in compliance with all existing regulations. If there is an unanticipated new regulation that significantly impacts our use of various components or requires more expensive components, that regulation could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Some of our customers also require that we comply with their own unique requirements relating to these matters.

Our products are designed to meet the compliance requirements for the applicable use and in the majority of geographies. There is possibility that some customers may require us to comply with their unique requirements for some specific applications or for their region that have additional regulatory requirements. Any requirements for customization or modification would likely increase our

time-to-market

for such products which could materially adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We are subject to various environmental laws and regulations that could impose substantial costs upon us.

Environmental pollution and climate change have been the subject of significant legislative and regulatory efforts on a global basis, and we believe this will continue both in scope and in the number of countries participating. In addition, as climate change issues become more prevalent, foreign, federal, state and local governments and our customers have increased their focus on environmental sustainability, which may result in new regulations and customer requirements, which could materially adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. If we are unable to effectively address concerns about environmental impact, our reputation could be negatively impacted, and our business, results of operations or financial condition could suffer.

Any new or modified environmental regulations or laws may increase the cost of raw materials or components we use in our products. Environmental regulations require us to continually reduce product energy usage, monitor and exclude an expanding list of restricted substances and to participate in required recovery and recycling of our products. Environmental and health and safety laws and regulations can be complex, and we have limited experience complying with them. Capital and operating expenses needed to comply with environmental laws and regulations can be significant, and violations may result in substantial fines and penalties, third-party damages, suspension of production or a cessation of our operations.

If contamination is found at properties we operate or formerly operated, this may result in liability for us under environmental laws and regulations, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, which can impose liability for the full amount of remediation-related costs without regard to fault. Costs of complying with environmental laws and regulations and any claims concerning

non-compliance,

or liability with respect to contamination in the future, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or operating results.

We are subject to U.S. and foreign anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws and regulations. We can face criminal liability and other serious consequences for violations, which can harm our business.

We are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.S. domestic bribery statute contained in 18 U.S.C. § 201, the U.S. Travel Act, the Money Laundering Control Act 18 U.S.C. §§ 1956 and 1957, and other anti-bribery and anti-money laundering laws in countries in which we conduct activities. Anti-corruption laws are interpreted broadly and prohibit companies and their employees, agents, contractors and other collaborators from authorizing, promising, offering or providing, directly or indirectly, improper payments or anything else of value to recipients in the public or private sector, and require that we keep accurate books and records and maintain internal accounting controls designed to prevent any such actions. We can be held liable for the corrupt or other illegal activities of our employees, agents, contractors and other collaborators, even if we do not explicitly authorize or have actual knowledge of such activities. Any violations of the laws and regulations described above may result in substantial civil and criminal fines and penalties, imprisonment, the loss of export

Table of Contents

or import privileges, debarment, tax reassessments, breach of contract and fraud litigation, reputational harm and other consequences.

As we increase our international cross-border business and expand our operations abroad, we may continue to engage with business partners and third-party intermediaries to market our services and to obtain necessary permits, licenses and other regulatory approvals. In addition, we or our third-party intermediaries may have direct or indirect interactions with officials and employees of government agencies or state-owned or affiliated entities. We can be held liable for the corrupt or other illegal activities of these third-party intermediaries, our employees, representatives, contractors, partners and agents, even if we do not explicitly authorize such activities. We cannot assure you that all of our employees and agents will not take actions in violation of our policies and applicable law, for which we may be ultimately held responsible. As we increase our international business, our risks under these laws may increase.

Detecting, investigating and resolving actual or alleged violations of anti-corruption laws can require a significant diversion of time, resources and attention from management. In addition,

non-compliance

with anti-corruption or anti-bribery laws could subject us to whistleblower complaints, investigations, sanctions, settlements, prosecution, enforcement actions, fines, damages, other civil or criminal penalties, injunctions, suspension or debarment from contracting with certain persons, reputational harm, adverse media coverage and other collateral consequences. If any subpoenas are received or investigations are launched, or governmental or other sanctions are imposed, or if we do not prevail in any possible civil or criminal proceeding, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially harmed.

We are subject to governmental export controls and sanctions laws and regulations that could impair our ability to compete in international markets and subject us to liability if we are not in compliance with applicable laws. Changes to such laws and regulations, as well as changes to trade policy, import laws, and tariffs, may also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Exports of our products are subject to export controls and sanctions laws and regulations imposed by the U.S. government and administered by the U.S. Departments of State, Commerce, and Treasury. U.S. export control laws may require a license or other authorization to export products to certain destinations and end users. In addition, U.S. economic sanctions laws include restrictions or prohibitions on the sale or supply of most products and services to U.S. embargoed or sanctioned countries, governments, persons and entities, unless required export authorizations are obtained. Obtaining export licenses can be difficult, costly and time-consuming and we may not always be successful in obtaining such licenses, and our failure to obtain required export approval for our products or limitations on our ability to export or sell our products imposed by export control or sanctions laws may harm our revenues and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Non-compliance

with these laws could have negative consequences, including government investigations, penalties and reputational harm.

Further, any changes in global political, regulatory and economic conditions or in laws and policies governing import/export control, economic sanctions, manufacturing, development and investment in the territories or countries where we currently purchase our components, sell our products, or conduct our business could result in the decreased use of our products by, or in our decreased ability to export or sell our products to, existing or potential

end-customers.

Any decreased use of our products or limitation on our ability to export or sell our products would adversely affect our business, results of operations and growth prospects. The U.S. has recently instituted or proposed changes in trade policies that include the negotiation or termination of trade agreements, the imposition of higher tariffs on imports into the U.S., economic sanctions on individuals, corporations or countries, and other government regulations affecting trade between the United States and other countries where we conduct our business. A number of other nations have proposed or instituted similar measures directed at trade with the U.S. in response. As a result of these developments, there may be greater restrictions and economic disincentives on international trade that could adversely affect our business. It may be time-consuming and expensive for us to alter our business operations to adapt to or comply with any such

Table of Contents

changes, and any failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Failures, or perceived failures, to comply with privacy, data protection, and information security requirements in the variety of jurisdictions in which we operate may adversely impact our business, and such legal requirements are evolving, uncertain and may require improvements in, or changes to, our policies and operations.

Our current and potential future operations and sales subject us to laws and regulations addressing privacy and the collection, use, storage, disclosure, transfer and protection of a variety of types of data. For example, the European Commission has adopted the General Data Protection Regulation and California recently enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, both of which provide for potentially material penalties for

non-compliance.

These regimes may, among other things, impose data security requirements, disclosure requirements, and restrictions on data collection, uses, and sharing that may impact our operations and the development of our business. While, generally, we do not have access to, collect, store, process, or share information collected by our solutions unless our customers choose to proactively provide such information to us, our products may evolve both to address potential customer requirements or to add new features and functionality. Therefore, the full impact of these privacy regimes on our business is rapidly evolving across jurisdictions and remains uncertain at this time.

We may also be affected by cyber-attacks and other means of gaining unauthorized access to its products, systems, and data. For instance, cyber criminals or insiders may target us or third-parties with which we have business relationships in an effort to obtain data, or in a manner that disrupts our operations or compromises our products or the systems into which our products are integrated.

We are assessing the continually evolving privacy and data security regimes and measures we believe are appropriate in response. Since these data security regimes are evolving, uncertain and complex, especially for a global business like ours, we may need to update or enhance our compliance measures as our products, markets and customer demands further develop and these updates or enhancements may require implementation costs. The compliance measures we do adopt may prove ineffective. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with current and future regulatory or customer-driven privacy, data protection, and information security requirements, or to prevent or mitigate security breaches, cyber-attacks, or improper access to, use of, or disclosure of data, or any security issues or cyber-attacks affecting us, could result in significant liability, costs (including the costs of mitigation and recovery), and a material loss of revenue resulting from the adverse impact on our reputation and brand, loss of proprietary information and data, disruption to our business and relationships, and diminished ability to retain or attract customers and business partners. Such events may result in governmental enforcement actions and prosecutions, private litigation, fines and penalties or adverse publicity, and could cause customers and business partners to lose trust in us, which could have an adverse effect on our reputation and business.

Our use of open source software could impose limitations on our ability to commercialize our products.

We incorporate open source software in our products. While we are careful to use only those permissive licenses whose terms of use are well known, from time to time, companies that incorporate open source software into their products have faced claims challenging the ownership of open source software and/or compliance with open source license terms. Therefore, we could be subject to suits by parties claiming ownership of what we believe to be open source software or

non-compliance

with open source licensing terms. Although we monitor our use of open source software, the terms of many open source software licenses have not been interpreted by U.S. courts, and there is a risk that such licenses could be construed in a manner that could impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to sell our products. In such event, we could be required to make our proprietary software generally available to third parties, including competitors, at no cost, to seek licenses from third parties in order to continue offering our devices, to

re-engineer

our devices or to discontinue the sale of our

Table of Contents

products in the event

re-engineering

cannot be accomplished on a timely basis or at all, any of which could harm our business.

If we fail to comply with the laws and regulations relating to the collection of sales tax and payment of income taxes in the various states in which we do business, we could be exposed to unexpected costs, expenses, penalties and fees as a result of our

non-compliance,

which could harm our business.

By engaging in business activities in the United States, we become subject to various state laws and regulations, including requirements to collect sales tax from our sales within those states, and the payment of income taxes on revenue generated from activities in those states. A successful assertion by one or more states that we were required to collect sales or other taxes or to pay income taxes where we did not could result in substantial tax liabilities, fees and expenses, including substantial interest and penalty charges, which could harm our business.

General Risks

Our limited operating history and evolving business make it difficult to evaluate our current business and future prospects.

Our limited operating history and the evolution of our business and our industry make it difficult to accurately assess our future prospects. It may not be possible to discern fully the economic and other business trends that we are subject to. Elements of our business strategy are new and subject to ongoing development as our operations mature. In addition, it may be difficult to evaluate our business because many of the other companies that offer the same or a similar range of solutions, products and services as the Company also have limited operating histories and evolving businesses.

Our financial projections are forward-looking statements that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control.

We do not, as a matter of general practice, publicly disclose long-term forecasts or internal projections of its future performance, revenue, financial condition or other results. The Projections included in this proxy statement / prospectus were prepared solely for internal use and not with a view toward public disclosure, the published guidelines of the SEC regarding projections or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information. Projections are forward-looking and reflect numerous estimates and assumptions with respect to future business decisions and conditions that are subject to change, including, but not limited to, future industry performance under various industry scenarios as well as assumptions regarding competition, general business, economic, market, regulatory and financial conditions and matters specific to our business, including our execution on our strategies and product development, as well as growth in the markets in which we operate. Our actual results may vary from the Projections set out below, and those variations may be material. Since the projections cover multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less predictive with each successive year. These financial projections are subjective in many respects, and present one outcome of the combined company’s projected revenues based on the specific set of assumptions and estimates, including those identified herein, and thus are susceptible to multiple interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments. There can be no assurance that our financial condition, including our cash flows or results of operations will be consistent with those set forth in the Projections, which could have an adverse impact on the market price of Quanergy Pubco common stock or the financial position of Quanergy PubCo following the closing of the Merger.

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic has had and could continue to have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial results, and results of operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant volatility and disruption globally. The COVID-19 measures adopted by governments and businesses, including restrictions on travel and business operations and

Table of Contents

shelter in place and other quarantine orders, have affected and continue to affect our business, and could continue to adversely affect our business operations or the business operations of our customers and suppliers in the future. A significant portion of our revenue is project driven and has thus been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic as certain key airport, smart city, and security installations have been, and continue to be, pushed back. Further, the pandemic has slowed prototype work and new product introduction efforts due to employees’ inability to access our facilities, and temporarily disrupted the operations of certain of our customers and suppliers. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations is unknown and will depend on factors outside of our control. The duration of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the associated and ongoing business interruptions may continue to affect our sales, supply chain or the manufacture or distribution of products, which could result in a material adverse effect on our business prospects and financial condition. Our response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may prove to be inadequate. We may be unable to continue our operations in the manner that we did prior to the outbreak and we may endure interruptions, reputational harm, delays in product development and shipments, all of which could have an adverse effect on our business prospects, operating results, and financial condition. The COVID-19 pandemic may also intensify or exacerbate other risks described in this Section.

We may pursue acquisitions, which involve a number of risks, and if we are unable to address and resolve these risks successfully, such acquisitions could harm our business.

We have acquired and may in the future acquire businesses, products or technologies to expand our offerings and capabilities and business. We have evaluated, and expect to continue to evaluate, a wide array of potential strategic transactions. Any acquisition could be material to our financial condition and results of operations and any anticipated benefits from an acquisition may never materialize. In addition, the process of integrating acquired businesses, products or technologies may create unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. Acquisitions in international markets would involve additional risks, including those related to integration of operations across different cultures and languages, currency risks and the particular economic, political and regulatory risks associated with specific countries. We may not be able to address these risks successfully, or at all, without incurring significant costs, delays or other operational problems and if we were unable to address such risks successfully our business could be harmed.

If we were to lose the services of members of our senior management team, we may not be able to execute our business strategy.

Our success depends in large part upon the continued service of key members of our senior management team. In particular, each of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Kevin J. Kennedy, Chief Development Officer and Co-Founder, Tianyue Yu, Chief Marketing Officer, Enzo Signore and Chief Financial Officer, Patrick Archambault, is critical to our overall management, as well as the continued development of our LiDAR technology, our culture and our strategic direction. All of our executive officers are at will employees, and we do not maintain any key person life insurance policies. The loss of any member of our senior management team could harm our business.

Our future success depends in part on recruiting and retaining key personnel and if we fail to do so, it may be more difficult for us to execute our business strategy. We are currently a small organization and will need to hire additional qualified personnel to effectively implement our strategic plan, and if we are unable to attract and retain highly qualified employees, we may not be able to continue to grow our business.

Our ability to compete and grow depends in large part on the efforts and talents of our employees. Our employees, particularly engineers and other product developers, are in high demand, and we devote significant resources to identifying, hiring, training, successfully integrating and retaining these employees. As competition with other companies increases, we may incur significant expenses in attracting and retaining high quality software and hardware engineers and other employees. The loss of employees or the inability to hire additional skilled employees as necessary to support the growth of our business and the scale of our operations could result

Table of Contents

in significant disruptions to our business, and the integration of replacement personnel could be time-consuming and expensive and cause additional disruptions to our business.

We believe a critical component to our success and our ability to retain our best people is our culture. As we continue to grow, we may find it difficult to maintain our entrepreneurial, execution-focused culture.

Our ability to effectively manage our anticipated growth and expansion of our operations will also require us to enhance our operational, financial and management controls and infrastructure, human resources policies and reporting systems. These enhancements and improvements will require significant capital expenditures and allocation of valuable management and employee resources.

We expect to experience significant growth in the scope and nature of our operations. Our ability to manage our operations and future growth will require us to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls, compliance programs and reporting systems. We may not be able to implement improvements in an efficient or timely manner and may discover deficiencies in existing controls, programs, systems and procedures, which could have an adverse effect on our business, reputation and financial results. Additionally, rapid growth in our business may place a strain on our human and capital resources. Furthermore, we expect to continue to conduct our business internationally and anticipate increased business operations in the United States, Europe, Asia and elsewhere. These diversified, global operations place increased demands on our limited resources and require us to substantially expand the capabilities of our administrative and operational resources and to attract, train, manage and retain qualified management, technical, manufacturing, engineering, sales and other personnel. As our operations expand domestically and internationally, we will need to continue to manage multiple locations and additional relationships with various customers, partners, suppliers and other third parties across several markets.

If we have difficulty managing our growth in operating expenses, our business could be harmed.

We have recently experienced significant growth in research and development, sales and marketing, support services and operations. While we had managed to significantly pare back operating expenses over the last 18 months due to COVID, our spending rate has gone up with the

non-recurrence

of furlough and wage cuts implemented in 2020 as well as due to headcount increases. We expect to continue to spend meaningfully on these activities. We expect future growth will continue to place, significant demands on our management, as well as our financial and operational resources, to:

•

manage a larger organization;

•

hire more employees, including engineers with relevant skills and experience;

•

expand our manufacturing and distribution capacity;

•

increase our sales and marketing efforts;

•

broaden our customer support capabilities;

•

implement appropriate operational and financial systems;

•

expand internationally; and

•

maintain effective financial disclosure controls and procedures.

If we fail to manage our growth effectively, we may not be able to execute our business strategies and our business will be harmed.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could be adversely affected.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for evaluating and reporting on the effectiveness of our system of internal control. Our internal

Table of Contents

controls over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. As a public company, we are required to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other rules that govern public companies.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, the accuracy and timing of our financial reporting may be adversely affected, our liquidity, our access to capital markets may be adversely affected, we may be unable to maintain or regain compliance with applicable securities laws, and the New York Stock Exchange listing requirements, we may be subject to regulatory investigations and penalties, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting, and our stock price may decline.

We have identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting, and if we are unable to implement and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting in the future, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, and the market price of our common stock may be materially adversely affected.

To date, we have never assessed our internal controls for the purpose of providing the reports required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In a future assessment, we may identify deficiencies and be unable to remediate them before we must provide the required reports. In connection with the audit of our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, we and our independent registered public accounting firm identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting, related to a lack of effective internal management review controls not being precise enough to identify potentially material misstatements. Following identification of the material weakness, we have begun undertaking specific remediation actions to address the material weakness in our financial reporting including the implementation of more precise review controls, including review of journal entries, review of items capitalized to inventor, and various other internal controls, including enhanced review documentation for journal entries, new inventory policies, and various other internal controls.

Furthermore, if in the future, we have a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting, we may not detect errors on a timely basis and our financial statements may be materially misstated. We or our independent registered public accounting firm may not be able to conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting, which could harm our operating results, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and cause the trading price of our stock to fall. In addition, as a public company we will be required to file accurate and timely quarterly and annual reports with the SEC under the Exchange Act. Any failure to report our financial results on an accurate and timely basis could result in sanctions, lawsuits, delisting of our shares from the NYSE or other adverse consequences that would materially harm our business. In addition, we could become subject to investigations by the stock exchange on which our securities are listed, the SEC, and other regulatory authorities, and become subject to litigation from investors and stockholders, which could harm our reputation and our financial condition, or divert financial and management resources from our core business.

We are subject to risks associated with doing business globally.

Our operations are subject to risks inherent in conducting business globally and under the laws, regulations and customs of various jurisdictions and geographies. In addition to risks related to currency exchange rates, these risks include changes in exchange controls; changes in taxation; importation limitations; export control restrictions; changes in or violations of applicable laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Bribery Act of 2010; economic and political instability; disputes between countries; diminished or insufficient protection of intellectual property; and disruption or destruction of operations in a significant geographic region regardless of cause, including war, terrorism, riot, civil insurrection or social unrest. Failure to comply with, or material changes to, the laws and regulations that affect our global operations could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Table of Contents

Any significant disruption in our computer systems or those of third parties we utilize in our operations could harm our business.

We rely on the expertise of our engineering, software development, and information technology teams for the performance and operation of our computer systems. Service interruptions, errors in our software or the unavailability of computer systems used in our operations could delay our product development. We utilize computer systems located either in our facilities or those of third-party server hosting providers and third-party Internet-based or cloud computing services. Although we generally enter into service level agreements with these parties, we exercise no control over their operations, which makes us vulnerable to any errors, interruptions or delays that they may experience. In the future, we may transition additional features of our services from our managed hosting systems to cloud computing services, which may require expenditures and engineering resources. Upon the expiration or termination of any of our agreements with third-party vendors, we may not be able to replace their services in a timely manner or on terms and conditions, including service levels and cost, that are favorable to us, and a transition from one vendor to another vendor could subject us to operational delays and inefficiencies until the transition is complete. In addition, fires, floods, earthquakes, power losses, telecommunications failures,

break-ins

and similar events could damage these systems and hardware or cause them to fail completely. As we do not maintain entirely redundant systems, a disrupting event could result in prolonged downtime of our operations and could adversely affect our business. Any disruption in the services provided by these vendors could have adverse impacts on our business reputation, customer relations and operating results.

Our servers and those of the third parties we use in our operations may be vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or electronic

break-ins

and similar disruptions, which could lead to interruptions and delays in operations. Such significant disruptions of our, our third party vendors’ and/or business partners’ information technology systems or data security breaches, including in our remote work environment as a result of

COVID-19,

could adversely affect our business operations and/or result in the loss, misappropriation, and/or unauthorized access, use or disclosure of, or the prevention of access to, confidential information (including trade secrets or other intellectual property, proprietary business information and personal information), and could result in financial, legal, business and reputational harm to us. We maintain insurance policies to cover losses relating to our systems. Though it is difficult to determine what harm may directly result from any specific interruption or breach, any failure to maintain performance, reliability, security and availability of our network infrastructure may harm our reputation. Any attempts by hackers to disrupt our products, website or computer systems, if successful, could harm our business, be expensive to remedy and damage our reputation. Efforts to prevent hackers from entering our computer systems or exploiting vulnerabilities in our products are expensive to implement and may not be effective in detecting or preventing intrusion or vulnerabilities. Such unauthorized access to data could damage our reputation and our business and could expose us of the risk to contractual damages, litigation and regulatory fines and penalties that could harm our business.

Our business is subject to the risks of earthquakes, fire, floods and other natural catastrophic events, global pandemics, and interruptions by

man-made

problems, such as network security breaches, computer viruses or terrorism. Material disruptions of our business or information systems resulting from these events could adversely affect our operating results.

We and some of the third-party service providers on which we depend for various support functions are vulnerable to damage from catastrophic events, such as power loss, natural disasters, terrorism, pandemics, and similar unforeseen events beyond our control.

If a natural disaster, power outage or other event occurred that prevented us from using all or a significant portion of our headquarters, damaged critical infrastructure, or otherwise disrupted operations, it may be difficult or, in certain cases, impossible for us to continue our business for a substantial period of time. The disaster recovery and business continuity plans we have in place are unlikely to provide adequate protection in the event of a serious disaster or similar event. We may incur substantial expenses as a result of the limited nature of our disaster recovery and business continuity plans, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Table of Contents

Furthermore, integral parties in our supply chain are operating from single sites, increasing their vulnerability to natural disasters or other sudden, unforeseen and severe adverse events, such as the

COVID-19

pandemic. If such an event were to affect our supply chain, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

The adoption, maintenance and expansion of international embargo, economic or other sanctions against Russia may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In January 2018, pursuant to the Countering America’s Adversaries through Sanctions Act of 2017, the U.S. administration presented the U.S. Congress with a report on senior Russian political figures, “oligarchs” and “parastatal” entities. The list included the 96 wealthiest Russian businessmen, including Mr. Alisher Usmanov, who maintains a minority, but nevertheless significant ownership interest in Rising Tide V, LLC, one of our principal shareholders. New tensions in relations between Russia and U.S. could result in adoption and implementation of new sanctions. Although we are not aware of any intention on the part of the U.S. government to impose sanctions on Mr. Usmanov, if he were to become a target of sanctions, it could have a material adverse effect on our ability to access financing in the U.S. debt and equity markets.

Our financial statements contain disclosure regarding the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We will need additional financing to execute our business plan, to fund our operations and to continue as a going concern.

The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 includes an explanatory paragraph indicating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital when needed, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected, and we will need to significantly modify our operational plans to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we might have to liquidate our assets and the values we receive for our assets in liquidation or dissolution could be significantly lower than the values reflected in our consolidated financial statements. The inclusion of a going concern explanatory paragraph by our auditors, our lack of cash resources and our potential inability to continue as a going concern may materially adversely affect our share price and our ability to raise new capital or to enter into critical contractual relations with third parties.

Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards may be limited.

As of December 31, 2020, we had U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $175.0 million and $127.1 million, respectively. Under legislation enacted in 2017, informally titled the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or the TCJA, as modified in 2020 by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act, unused U.S. federal net operating losses generated in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, will not expire and may be carried forward indefinitely, but the deductibility of such federal net operating loss carryforwards in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2020, is limited to 80% of taxable income. It is uncertain if and to what extent various states will conform to the TCJA or the CARES Act. Our ability to utilize our federal net operating carryforwards may be limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. The limitations apply if we experience an “ownership change,” which is generally defined as a greater than 50 percentage point change (by value) in the ownership of our equity by certain stockholders or groups of stockholders over a rolling three-year period. Similar provisions of state tax law may also apply to limit the use of our state net operating loss carryforwards. We have not yet completed a Section 382 analysis, and therefore, there can be no assurances that any previously experienced ownership changes have not materially limited our utilization of affected net operating loss carryforwards. Future changes in our stock ownership, including as a result of this offering, which may be outside of our control, may trigger an ownership change that materially impacts our ability to utilize

pre-change

net operating loss carryforwards. In addition, there may be periods during which the use of net operating loss carryforwards is suspended or otherwise limited. For example, in 2020, California generally suspended the use of California net operating loss carryforwards to

Table of Contents

offset taxable income in tax years beginning after 2019 and before 2023. Accordingly, our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards to offset taxable income may be subject to such limitations or special rules that apply at the state level, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

Risks Related to the Business Combination

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this subsection to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to the CITIC Capital Acquisition Corp. (“CCAC”) prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

The Sponsor has agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how CCAC’s public shareholders vote.

The Sponsor and each director and officer of CCAC have agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, in the case of the Sponsor, subject also to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Sponsor Support Agreement. As of the date of this proxy statement / prospectus, the Sponsor owns 20.0% of CCAC’s issued ordinary shares.

We may be forced to close the Business Combination even if we determined it is no longer in our shareholders’ best interest.

Our public shareholders are protected from a material adverse event of Quanergy arising between the date of the Merger Agreement and the Closing primarily by the right to redeem their public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the vote at the extraordinary general meeting. Accordingly, if a material adverse event were to occur after approval of the Condition Precedent Proposals at the extraordinary general meeting, we may be forced to close the Business Combination even if we determine it is no longer in our shareholders’ best interest to do so (as a result of such material adverse event) which could have a significant negative impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Additionally, if we do not obtain shareholder approval at the extraordinary general meeting, Quanergy can obligate us to hold additional extraordinary general meetings to vote on the Condition Precedent Proposals until the earlier of such shareholder approval being obtained and December 31, 2021. This could limit our ability to seek an alternative business combination that our shareholders may prefer after such initial vote.

When you consider the recommendation of CCAC’s board of directors in favor of approval of the BCA Proposal, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor and CCAC’s directors and officers have interests in such proposal that are different from, or in addition to, those of CCAC shareholders and warrant holders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

price initially paid by the Sponsor), resulting in our sponsor holding 5,031,250 founder shares. On February 10, 2020, CCAC effected a share capitalization of 1,150,000 shares and as a result the Sponsor held 6,037,500 founder shares and Mr. Arif held 862,500 founder shares. On May 7, 2020, the Sponsor transferred 22,000 founder shares to Mr. Ross Haghighat for no consideration and on February 10, 2021, the Sponsor transferred 13,000 founder shares to Mr. Mark B. Segall for no consideration. As a result of the significantly lower price per

Table of Contents

CCAC Class B ordinary share paid by our Sponsor as compared with the price per public share paid by CCAC’s public shareholders, it is possible that a transaction may result in an increase in the value of the Sponsor’s investment, while at the same time resulting in a decrease in the value of the investment of our public shareholders.

•

Based on the average of the high and low prices of the Class A ordinary shares and public warrants of CCAC on the NYSE on September 20, 2021, the Sponsor and its affiliates held 6,002,500 founder shares and 7,520,000 Private Warrants, which has an approximate value of US$63,981,263; Mr. Arif held 862,500 founder shares and 940,000 Private Warrants, which has an approximate value of US$9,113,363; Mr. Haghighat held 22,000 Private Warrants, which has an approximate value of US$12,540; and Mr. Segall held 13,000 Private Warrants, which has an approximate value of US$7,410. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the CCAC had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans. Except as described the preceding sentence, there are no outstanding loans or material fee or reimbursement arrangements among CCAC, the Sponsor, its affiliates, or the CCAC directors or officers.

•

CCAC’s directors, Mr. Arif, Mr. Ross Haghighat and Mr. Mark B. Segall, also have a direct or indirect economic interest in such private placement warrants and/or in the 6,900,000 CCAC Class B ordinary shares owned by the Sponsor or its affiliates. The 6,900,000 shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock into which the 6,900,000 CCAC Class B ordinary shares held by the Sponsor will automatically convert in connection with the Merger (including after giving effect to the Domestication), if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of $ million based upon the closing price of $ per public share on the NYSE on 2021, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement / prospectus. However, given that such shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock will be subject to certain restrictions, including those described elsewhere in this proxy statement / prospectus, CCAC believes such shares have less value. The 7,520,000 Quanergy PubCo warrants into which the 7,520,000 private placement warrants held by the Sponsor will automatically convert in connection with the Merger (including after giving effect to the Domestication), if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of $ million based upon the closing price of $ per public warrant on the NYSE on , the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement / prospectus.

“—Interests of CCAC’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

” for a further discussion of these considerations.

The personal and financial interests of the Sponsor as well as CCAC’s directors and officers may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting Quanergy as a business combination target, completing an initial business combination with Quanergy and influencing the operation of the business following the initial business combination. In considering the recommendations of CCAC’s board of directors to vote for the proposals, its shareholders should consider these interests.

The exercise of CCAC’s directors’ and officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Business Combination may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Business Combination or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in CCAC’s shareholders’ best interest.

In the period leading up to the Closing, events may occur that, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, would require CCAC to agree to amend the Merger Agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by Quanergy or to

Table of Contents

waive rights that CCAC is entitled to under the Merger Agreement. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of Quanergy’s business or a request by Quanergy to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Merger Agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be at CCAC’s discretion, acting through its board of directors, to grant its consent or waive those rights. The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of the directors described in the preceding risk factors (and described elsewhere in this proxy statement / prospectus) may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is best for CCAC and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement / prospectus, CCAC does not believe there will be any changes or waivers that CCAC’s directors and executive officers would be likely to make after shareholder approval of the BCA Proposal has been obtained. While certain changes could be made without further shareholder approval, CCAC will circulate a new or amended proxy statement / prospectus and resolicit CCAC’s shareholders if changes to the terms of the transaction that would have a material impact on its shareholders are required prior to the vote on the BCA Proposal.

CCAC and Quanergy will incur significant transaction and transition costs in connection with the Business Combination.

CCAC and Quanergy have both incurred and expect to incur

significant, non-recurring costs

in connection with consummating the Business Combination and operating as a public company following the consummation of the Business Combination. CCAC and Quanergy may also incur additional costs to retain key employees. Certain transaction costs incurred in connection with the Merger Agreement (including the Business Combination), including all legal, accounting, consulting, investment banking and other fees, expenses and costs, will be paid by CCAC following the closing of the Business Combination.

The announcement of the proposed Business Combination could disrupt Quanergy’s relationships with its customers, suppliers, business partners and others, as well as its operating results and business generally.

Whether or not the Business Combination and related transactions are ultimately consummated, as a result of uncertainty related to the proposed transactions, risks relating to the impact of the announcement of the Business Combination on Quanergy’s business include the following:

•

its employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles, which might adversely affect Quanergy PubCo’s ability to retain and hire key personnel and other employees;

•

customers, suppliers, business partners and other parties with which Quanergy maintains business relationships may experience uncertainty about its future and seek alternative relationships with third parties, seek to alter their business relationships with Quanergy or fail to extend an existing relationship with Quanergy PubCo; and

•

Quanergy has expended and will continue to expend significant costs, fees and expenses for professional services and transaction costs in connection with the proposed Business Combination.

If any of the aforementioned risks were to materialize, they could lead to significant costs which may impact Quanergy and, in the future, Quanergy PubCo’s results of operations and cash available to fund its business.

Subsequent to the consummation of the Business Combination, Quanergy PubCo may be exposed to unknown or contingent liabilities and may be required to subsequently take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on its financial condition, results of operations and its share price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

We cannot assure you that the due diligence conducted in relation to Quanergy has identified all material issues or risks associated with Quanergy, its business or the industry in which it competes. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that factors outside of Quanergy’s and our control will not later arise. As a result of these

Table of Contents

factors, we may be exposed to liabilities and incur additional costs and expenses and we may be forced to later write-down

or write-off assets,

restructure our operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in our reporting losses. Even if our due diligence has identified certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with our preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be

non-cash

items that would not have an immediate impact on the Quanergy PubCo’s liquidity, the fact that Quanergy PubCo reports charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about Quanergy PubCo or its securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause Quanergy PubCo to violate leverage or other covenants to which it may be subject. If any of these risks materialize, this could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations and could contribute to negative market perceptions about our securities or Quanergy PubCo. Additionally, we have no indemnification rights against the stockholders of Quanergy under the Merger Agreement and all of the purchase price consideration will be delivered at the Closing.

Accordingly, any shareholders or warrant holders of CCAC who choose to remain Quanergy PubCo stockholders or warrant holders following the Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares or warrants. Such shareholders or warrant holders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value unless they are able to successfully claim that the reduction was due to the breach by our directors or officers of a duty of care or other fiduciary duty owed to them, or if they are able to successfully bring a private claim under securities laws that the registration statement or proxy statement / prospectus relating to the Business Combination contained an actionable material misstatement or material omission.

The historical financial results of Quanergy and unaudited pro forma financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement / prospectus may not be indicative of what Quanergy PubCo’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been.

CCAC and Quanergy currently operate as separate companies and have had no prior history as a combined entity. The historical financial results of Quanergy included in this proxy statement / prospectus do not reflect the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows they would have achieved as a standalone public company during the periods presented or those Quanergy PubCo will achieve in the future. This is primarily the result of the following factors: (i) Quanergy PubCo will incur additional ongoing costs as a result of the Business Combination, including costs related to public company reporting, investor relations and compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; and (ii) Quanergy PubCo’s capital structure will be different from that reflected in Quanergy’s historical financial statements. Quanergy PubCo’s financial condition and future results of operations could be materially different from amounts reflected in its historical financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement / prospectus, so it may be difficult for investors to compare Quanergy PubCo’s future results to historical results or to evaluate its relative performance or trends in its business.

Similarly, the unaudited pro forma financial information in this proxy statement / prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and has been prepared based on a number of assumptions including, but not limited to, assuming no shares of CCAC’s redeemable common stock will be redeemed and assuming holders of the maximum number of public shares that could be redeemed for cash while still leaving sufficient cash available to consummate the Business Combination, will exercise their right to have their public shares redeemed for cash. The pro forma statement of operations does not reflect future nonrecurring charges resulting from the Business Combination. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not reflect future events that may occur after the Business Combination and does not consider potential impacts of future market conditions on revenues or expenses. There may be differences between preliminary estimates in the pro forma financial information and the final acquisition accounting, which could result in material differences from the pro forma information presented in this proxy statement / prospectus in respect of the estimated financial position and results of operations of the Company. Accordingly, such pro forma financial information may not be indicative of Quanergy PubCo’s future operating or financial performance and Quanergy PubCo’s actual financial condition and results of operations may vary materially from Quanergy PubCo’s pro forma results of operations and balance sheet contained elsewhere in this proxy statement / prospectus, including as a result of such assumptions not being accurate.

Table of Contents

In addition, the assumptions used in preparing the pro forma financial information may not prove to be accurate and other factors may affect the Quanergy PubCo’s financial condition or results of operations following the Closing. Any potential decline in the Quanergy PubCo’s financial condition or results of operations may cause significant variations in the stock price of the Quanergy PubCo’s. See “

Selected Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

.”

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, our only significant asset will be our ownership interest in Quanergy and such ownership may not be sufficient to pay taxes or expenses, dividends or make distributions or loans to enable us to pay any dividends on Quanergy PubCo common stock or satisfy our other financial obligations.

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, we will have no direct operations and no significant assets other than our ownership of Quanergy. As a result, we will have no independent means of generating revenue or cash flow. We and certain investors, the stockholders of Quanergy, and directors and officers of Quanergy and its affiliates will become stockholders of Quanergy PubCo. We will depend on Quanergy for distributions, loans and other payments to generate the funds necessary to meet our financial obligations, including our expenses as a publicly traded company and taxes, and to pay any dividends with respect to Quanergy PubCo common stock. The financial condition and operating requirements of Quanergy may limit our ability to obtain cash from Quanergy. The earnings from, or other available assets of, Quanergy may not be sufficient to pay dividends or make distributions or loans to enable us to pay any dividends on Quanergy PubCo common stock or satisfy our other financial obligations.

Additionally, to the extent that we need funds and Quanergy and/or any of its subsidiaries are restricted from making such distributions under applicable law or regulation or under the terms of any financing arrangements, or Quanergy is otherwise unable to provide such funds, it could materially adversely affect the Company’s liquidity and financial condition.

This lack of diversification may subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory risks, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact upon the particular industry in which we may operate subsequent to our Business Combination.

CCAC does not have a specified maximum redemption threshold. The absence of such a redemption threshold may make it possible for CCAC to complete an initial business combination with which a substantial majority of CCAC stockholders do not agree.

CCAC’s current charter does not provide a specified maximum redemption threshold, except that its charter provides that in no event will CCAC redeem its CCAC Class A ordinary shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets, or total shareholders’ equity, to fall below $5,000,001. The Merger Agreement provides that Quanergy’s obligation to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on, among other things, that as of the Closing, the Minimum Cash Condition is satisfied. As a result, CCAC may be able to complete the Business Combination even though a substantial portion of its public stockholders do not agree with the transaction and have redeemed their shares or have entered into privately negotiated agreements to sell their shares to the Sponsors or CCAC’s or Quanergy’s directors, officers or advisors, or any of their respective affiliates. As of the date of this proxy statement / prospectus, no agreements with respect to the private purchase of public shares by CCAC or the persons described above have been entered into with any such investor or holder.

In the event the cash consideration we would be required to pay for all shares of CCAC Class A ordinary shares that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy Minimum Cash Condition pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement exceeds the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we may not complete the Business Combination or redeem any shares, all shares of CCAC Class A ordinary shares submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof, and we instead may search for an alternative business combination.

Table of Contents

The ability of CCAC’s shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to the CCAC Class A ordinary shares may prevent CCAC from completing the Business Combination or optimizing its capital structure.

CCAC does not know how many shareholders will ultimately exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination. As such, the Business Combination is structured based on CCAC’s expectations (and those of the other parties to the Merger Agreement) as to the number of shares that will be submitted for redemption. In addition, if a larger number of shares are submitted for redemption than CCAC initially expected, CCAC may need to seek to arrange for additional third-party financing to be able to deliver the Minimum Cash Condition at the Closing (or such lower cash amount designated by Quanergy if Quanergy waives the condition).

Although CCAC has obtained the Subscription Agreements in respect of the PIPE Investment, if too many public shareholders elect to redeem their shares, the PIPE Investment alone may be insufficient to complete the Business Combination, and additional third-party financing may not be available to CCAC. Even if such third-party financing is available, CCAC’s ability to obtain such financing is subject to restrictions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including the consent of Quanergy. For information regarding the parameters of such restrictions, please see the sections of this proxy statement / prospectus entitled “

The BCA Proposal – The Merger Agreement – Covenants and Agreements” and “The BCA Proposal – Merger Agreement – Closing Conditions

”.

For information on the consequences if the Business Combination is not completed or must be restructured, see the section entitled “

Risk Factors – Risks if the Domestication and the Business Combination are not Consummated

” in this proxy statement / prospectus.

There is no guarantee that a shareholder’s decision whether to redeem its shares for a pro rata portion of the trust account will put such shareholder in a better future economic position.

We can give no assurance as to the price at which a shareholder may be able to sell its public shares in the future following the completion of the transaction or any alternative business combination. Certain events following the consummation of any initial business combination, including the transactions, may cause an increase in CCAC’s share price, and may result in a lower value realized now than a shareholder might realize in the future had the shareholder not redeemed its shares. Similarly, if a shareholder does not redeem its shares, the shareholder will bear the risk of ownership of the public shares after the consummation of any initial business combination, and there can be no assurance that a shareholder can sell its shares in the future for a greater amount than the redemption price set forth in this proxy statement / prospectus. A shareholder should consult the shareholder’s own tax and/or financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect his, her or its individual situation.

If our shareholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement / prospectus, they will not be entitled to redeem their shares of CCAC Class A ordinary shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account.

Holders of public shares are not required to affirmatively vote against the BCA Proposal in order to exercise their rights to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account. In order to exercise their redemption rights, they are required to submit a request in writing and deliver their stock (either physically or electronically) to our transfer agent by , New York City time, on , 2021. Shareholders electing to redeem their shares will receive their pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to pay our taxes, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the Business Combination.

If a shareholder fails to receive notice of CCAC’s offer to redeem CCAC’s public shares in connection with the Business Combination, or fails to comply with the procedures for tendering its shares, such shares may not be redeemed.

If, despite CCAC’s compliance with the proxy rules, a shareholder fails to receive CCAC’s proxy materials, such shareholder may not become aware of the opportunity to redeem its public shares. In addition, the proxy

Table of Contents

materials that we are furnishing to holders of our public shares in connection with the transaction describes the various procedures that must be complied with in order to validly redeem public shares. In the event that a shareholder fails to comply with these procedures, its shares may not be redeemed.

If the conditions to the Merger Agreement are not met, the Business Combination may not occur.

Even if the Merger Agreement is approved by the shareholders of CCAC and Quanergy, specified conditions must be satisfied or waived before the parties to the Merger Agreement are obligated to complete the Business Combination. For a list of the material closing conditions contained in the Merger Agreement, see the section entitled “

The BCA—Merger Agreement—Closing Conditions

” of this proxy statement / prospectus. CCAC and Quanergy may not satisfy all of the closing conditions in the Merger Agreement. If the closing conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Business Combination will not occur, or will be delayed pending later satisfaction or waiver, and such delay may cause CCAC and Quanergy to each lose some or all of the intended benefits of the Business Combination.

We have a specified Minimum Cash Condition. This Minimum Cash Condition may make it more difficult for us to complete the Business Combination as contemplated.

The Merger Agreement provides that Quanergy’s obligation to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on, among other things, that as of the Closing, the Minimum Cash Condition is satisfied.

This condition is for the sole benefit of Quanergy. If such condition is not met, and such condition is not or cannot be waived under the terms of the Merger Agreement, then the Merger Agreement could terminate and the proposed Business Combination may not be consummated. The Merger Agreement also contains a mutual condition that CCAC as of the Closing, CCAC shall have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001.

There can be no assurance that Quanergy could and would waive the Minimum Cash Condition. Furthermore, as provided in the Cayman Constitutional Documents, in no event will we redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. If such conditions are not met, and such conditions are not or cannot be waived under the terms of the Merger Agreement, then the Merger Agreement could terminate and the proposed Business Combination may not be consummated.

If such conditions are waived and the Business Combination is consummated with less than the Minimum Available Cash Amount in the trust account, the cash held by Quanergy PubCo and its subsidiaries (including Quanergy) in the aggregate, after the Closing may not be sufficient to allow us to operate and pay our bills as they become due. Furthermore, our affiliates are not obligated to make loans to us in the future (other than our Sponsor’s commitment to provide us loans in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination). The additional exercise of redemption rights with respect to a large number of our public shareholders may make us unable to take such actions as may be desirable in order to optimize the capital structure of Quanergy PubCo after consummation of the Business Combination and we may not be able to raise additional financing from unaffiliated parties necessary to fund our expenses and liabilities after the Closing. Any such event in the future may negatively impact the analysis regarding our ability to continue as a going concern at such time.

During the pendency of the Business Combination, CCAC will not be able to enter into a business combination with another party because of restrictions in the Merger Agreement. Furthermore, certain provisions of the Merger Agreement will discourage third parties from submitting alternative takeover proposals, including proposals that may be superior to the arrangements contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Covenants in the Merger Agreement impede the ability of CCAC to make acquisitions or complete other transactions that are not in the ordinary course of business pending completion of the Business Combination. As

Table of Contents

a result, CCAC may be at a disadvantage to its competitors during that period. In addition, while the Merger Agreement is in effect, neither CCAC nor Quanergy may solicit, assist, facilitate the making, submission or announcement of, or intentionally encourage any alternative acquisition proposal, such as a merger, material sale of assets or equity interests or other business combination, with any third party, even though any such alternative acquisition could be more favorable to CCAC’s shareholders than the Business Combination. In addition, if the Business Combination is not completed, these provisions will make it more difficult to complete an alternative business combination following the termination of the Merger Agreement due to the passage of time during which these provisions have remained in effect.

Certain insiders may elect to purchase shares from public shareholders prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which may influence the vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of our securities.

At any time at or prior to the Business Combination, during a period when they are not then aware of any material

non-public

information regarding us or CCAC’s securities, the Sponsor, Quanergy or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may purchase public shares or warrants from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the Condition Precedent Proposals, or execute agreements to purchase such shares or warrants from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares or warrants or vote their public shares in favor of the Condition Precedent Proposals. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record holder of CCAC’s shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor, Quanergy or their directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholder would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of (1) satisfaction of the requirement that holders of a majority of the ordinary shares, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the quorate extraordinary general meeting, vote in favor of the BCA Proposal, the Stock Issuance Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, (2) satisfaction of the requirement that holders of a majority of at least

two-thirds

of the ordinary shares, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the quorate extraordinary general meeting, vote in favor of the Domestication Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposals, (3) satisfaction of the Minimum Cash Condition, (4) otherwise limiting the number of public shares electing to redeem and (5) CCAC’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance

with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of

the Exchange Act) being at least $5,000,001. The purpose of such purchases of public warrants would be to reduce the number of public warrants outstanding or to vote such warrants on any matters submitted to the warrant holders for approval in connection with our initial business combination.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the ordinary shares (e.g., by giving an investor or holder the ability to effectively purchase shares or warrants at a price lower than market, such investor or holder may therefore become more likely to sell the shares he or she owns, either at or prior to the Business Combination). If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Purchases of shares or warrants by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our securities and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.

Table of Contents

If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.00 per share (which was the offering price per unit in CCAC’s initial public offering).

Our placing of funds in the trust account may not protect those funds from third-party claims against us. Although we will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses and other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the trust account, including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the trust account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the trust account, our management will consider whether competitive alternatives are reasonably available to us and will only enter into an agreement with such third party if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be in the best interests of the company under the circumstances. WithumSmith+Brown, PC, our independent registered public accounting firm, will not execute agreements with us waiving such claims to the monies held in the trust account.

Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason. Upon redemption of our public shares, if we have not completed our business combination within the required time period, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with our business combination, we will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against us within the 10 years following redemption. Accordingly, the per share redemption amount received by public shareholders could be less than the $10.00 per public share initially held in the trust account, due to claims of such creditors.

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, if less than $10.00 per public share, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the trust account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of our initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. We have not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of our company. The Sponsor may not have sufficient funds available to satisfy those obligations. We have not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such obligations, and therefore, no funds are currently set aside to cover any such obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the trust account, the funds available for our business combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.00 per public share. In such event, we may not be able to complete our business combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per public share in connection with any redemption of your public shares. None of our directors or officers will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

Table of Contents

Our directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of our Sponsors, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the trust account available for distribution to our public stockholders.

In the event that the proceeds in the trust account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, and the Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, CCAC’s independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that CCAC’s independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that CCAC’s independent directors in exercising their business judgment and subject to their fiduciary duties may choose not to do so in any particular instance, if, for example, the cost of such legal action is deemed by the independent directors to be too high relative to the amount recoverable or if the independent directors determine that a favorable outcome is not likely. If CCAC’s independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in the trust account available for distribution to our public stockholders may be reduced below $10.00 per share.

We may not have sufficient funds to satisfy indemnification claims of our directors and executive officers.

We have agreed to indemnify our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law. However, our officers and directors have agreed to waive (and any other persons who may become an officer or director prior to the initial business combination will also be required to waive) any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the trust account and to not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason whatsoever. Accordingly, any indemnification provided will be able to be satisfied by us only if (i) we have sufficient funds outside of the trust account or (ii) we consummate an initial business combination. Our obligation to indemnify our officers and directors may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our officers or directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against our officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

If, after we distribute the proceeds in the trust account to our public shareholders, CCAC files

a winding-up or

bankruptcy petition or an

involuntary winding-up or

bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover such proceeds, and we and our board of directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to our creditors, thereby exposing the members of our board of directors and us to claims of punitive damages.

If, after we distribute the proceeds in the trust account to our public shareholders, we file

a winding-up or

bankruptcy petition or an

involuntary winding-up or

bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or insolvency laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance”. As a result, a liquidator could, in certain circumstances, seek to recover all amounts received by our shareholders. In addition, our board of directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors or having acted in bad faith, thereby exposing it and us to claims of punitive damages, by paying public shareholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.

Table of Contents

If, before distributing the proceeds in the trust account to our public shareholders, we file

a winding-up or

bankruptcy petition or an

involuntary winding-up or

bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of our shareholders and the per share amount that would otherwise be received by our shareholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the trust account to our public shareholders, we file

a winding-up or

bankruptcy petition or an

To the extent any liquidation claims deplete the trust account, the per share amount that would otherwise be received by our shareholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

Our shareholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against us to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their shares.

If we are forced to enter into an insolvent liquidation, any distributions received by shareholders could, in certain circumastances, be viewed as an unlawful payment which a liquidator could seek to recover all amounts received by our shareholders. Furthermore, our directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to us or our creditors or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing themselves and our company to claims, by paying public shareholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons. We and our directors and officers who knowingly and willfully authorized or permitted any distribution to be paid out of our share premium account while we were unable to pay our debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business would be guilty of an offence and may be liable to a fine of $18,293.68 and to imprisonment for five years in the Cayman Islands.

The public stockholders will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of Quanergy PubCo common stock as consideration in the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment and due to future issuances pursuant to the 2021 Plan. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that our current stockholders have on the management of Quanergy PubCo.

It is anticipated that, following the Business Combination, (1) CCAC’s public shareholders are expected to own approximately 20.4% of the outstanding Quanergy PubCo common stock, (2) the stockholders of Quanergy (without taking into account any public shares held by the stockholders of Quanergy prior to the consummation of the Business Combination or purchased in the PIPE Investment) are expected to own approximately 71.6% of the outstanding Quanergy PubCo common stock, (3) the Sponsor and related parties are expected to collectively own approximately 3.0% of the outstanding Quanergy PubCo common stock and (4) the PIPE Investors are expected to own approximately 5.1% of the outstanding Quanergy PubCo common stock. These percentages assume (i) that no public shareholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination, (ii) (a) the vesting of all shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock received in respect of the Quanergy PubCo Restricted Shares, (b) the vesting and exercise of all Quanergy PubCo Options for shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock (assuming that all Quanergy PubCo Options are

net-settled),

(c) the exercise of all Quanergy PubCo Converted Warrants for shares of Quanergy Pubco common stock (assuming that all Quanergy PubCo Converted Warrants are

net-settled),

(d) the vesting of all shares of Quanergy Restricted Stock Unit Awards and the settlement of all Adjusted Restricted Stock Unit Awards received in respect of the Quanergy Restricted Stock Unit Awards into shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock, and (e) the conversion of all of 2023 Quanergy Convertible Notes into Quanergy Common Stock (assuming the conversion date of September 30, 2021), (iii) that Quanergy PubCo issues shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock as the Aggregate Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger Agreement, which in the aggregate equals 97,000,000 shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock (assuming that all Quanergy PubCo Options and Quanergy PubCo Converted Warrants are

net-settled),

(iv) Quanergy PubCo issues 4,000,000 shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock to the PIPE Investors pursuant to the PIPE Investment and (v) subject ot the foregoing assumptions,

Table of Contents

immediately prior to the Closing, Quanergy has the same capitalization as it had as of June 8, 2021. If the actual facts are different from these assumptions, the percentage ownership retained by CCAC’s existing shareholders in the combined company will be different.

In addition, if the 2021 Plan is approved, Quanergy employees and consultants hold, and after Business Combination, are expected to be granted, equity awards under the 2021 Plan. You will experience additional dilution when those equity awards and purchase rights become vested and settled or exercisable, as applicable, for shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock.

Without limiting the other assumptions described under the section entitled “

Summary of the Proxy Statement / Prospectus – Ownership of Quanergy PubCo following Business Combination

” beginning on page 38 of this proxy statement / prospectus, these ownership percentages do not take into account (a) any warrants or options to purchase the Quanergy PubCo common stock that will be outstanding following the Business Combination, (b) any equity awards under the 2021 Plan and ESPP; and (c) any adjustments to the merger consideration pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

The issuance of additional common stock will significantly dilute the equity interests of existing holders of CCAC securities and may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our public shares or public warrants.

Warrants will become exercisable for Quanergy PubCo common stock, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to our stockholders.

Outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 21,320,000 shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock will become exercisable in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement governing those securities. These warrants will become exercisable at any time commencing on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination and 12 months from the closing of CCAC’s initial public offering. The exercise price of these warrants will be $11.50 per share. To the extent such warrants are exercised, additional shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to the holders of Quanergy PubCo common stock and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market or the fact that such warrants may be exercised could adversely affect the market price of Quanergy PubCo common stock. However, there is no guarantee that the public warrants will ever be in the money prior to their expiration, and as such, the warrants may expire worthless. See “

—Even if the Business Combination is consummated, the public warrants may never be in the money, and they may expire worthless and the terms of the warrants may be amended in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding public warrants approve of such amendment.

”

Even if the Business Combination is consummated, the public warrants may never be in the money, and they may expire worthless and the terms of the warrants may be amended in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding public warrants approve of such amendment.

The warrants were issued in registered form under a Warrant Agreement between Continental, as warrant agent, and CCAC. The Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding public warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of public warrants. Accordingly, we may amend the terms of the public warrants in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding public warrants approve of such amendment. Although our ability to amend the terms of the public warrants with the consent of at least 65% of the then outstanding public warrants is unlimited, examples of such amendments could be amendments to, among other things, increase the exercise price of the warrants, shorten the exercise period, convert the warrants into cash or shares or decrease the number of shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock purchasable upon exercise of a warrant.

Table of Contents

We may redeem your unexpired warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your warrants worthless.

We have the ability to redeem outstanding warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, provided that the closing price of the shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within

a 30 trading-day period ending

on the third trading day prior to the date on which we give proper notice of such redemption to the warrants holders and provided certain other conditions are met. We will not redeem the warrants unless an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares is available

throughout the 30-day redemption period,

except if we elect to require the warrants to be exercised on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. Redemption of the outstanding warrants could force you to (i) exercise your warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so, (ii) sell your warrants at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your warrants or (iii) accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of your warrants. None of the private placement warrants will be redeemable by us so long as they are held by the sponsor or any of its permitted transferees.

There can be no assurance that the shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock that will be issued in connection with the Business Combination will be approved for listing on the NYSE following the Closing, or that Quanergy PubCo will be able to comply with the continued listing rules of the NYSE.

CCAC’s units, public shares and public warrants are currently listed on the NYSE. The continued eligibility for listing of Quanergy PubCo’s securities may depend on, among other things, the number of our shares that are redeemed. If, after the Business Combination, the NYSE delists the shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock or public warrants from trading on its exchange for failure to meet its listing rules, Quanergy PubCo and its stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences including:

•

a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;

•

reduced liquidity for our securities;

•

a determination that shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;

•

a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

•

a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” The Quanergy PubCo common stock and public warrants are covered securities. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of our securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. While we are not aware of a state, other than the state of Idaho, having used these powers to prohibit or restrict the sale of securities issued by blank check companies, certain state securities regulators view blank check companies unfavorably and might use these powers, or threaten to use these powers, to hinder the sale of securities of blank check companies in their states. Further, if Quanergy PubCo’s securities were no longer listed on the NYSE, such securities would not qualify as covered securities and Quanergy PubCo would be subject to regulation in each state in which it offers its securities.

CCAC’s and Quanergy’s ability to consummate the Business Combination, and the operations of Quanergy PubCo following the Business Combination, may be materially adversely affected by the recent

coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic

has resulted, and other infectious diseases could result, in a widespread health crisis that has and could continue to adversely affect the economies and financial markets worldwide, which may delay or prevent the consummation of the Business Combination, and the business of Quanergy or Quanergy PubCo following the Business Combination could be materially and adversely affected. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

The parties will be required to consummate the Business Combination even if Quanergy, its business, financial condition and results of operations are materially affected

by COVID-19. The

disruptions posed

by COVID-19 have

continued, and other matters of global concern may continue, for an extensive period of time, and if Quanergy is unable to recover from business disruptions due

to COVID-19 or

other matters of global concern on a timely basis, Quanergy’s ability to consummate the Business Combination and Quanergy PubCo’s financial condition and results of operations following the Business Combination may be materially adversely affected. Each of Quanergy and Quanergy PubCo may also incur additional costs due to delays caused

by COVID-19, which

could adversely affect Quanergy PubCo’s financial condition and results of operations.

The process of taking a company public by means of a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company is different from taking a company public through an initial public offering and may create risks for our unaffiliated investors.

An initial public offering involves a company engaging underwriters to purchase its shares and resell them to the public. An underwritten offering imposes statutory liability on the underwriters for material misstatements or omissions contained in the registration statement unless they are able to sustain the burden of providing that they did not know and could not reasonably have discovered such material misstatements or omissions. This is referred to as a “due diligence” defense and results in the underwriters undertaking a detailed review of an initial public offering company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Going public via a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company does not involve any underwriters and may therefore result in less careful vetting of information that is presented to the public.

In addition, going public via a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company does not involve a book-building process as is the case in an initial public offering. In any initial public offering, the initial value of a company is set by investors who indicate the price at which they are prepare to purchase shares from the underwriters. In the case of a special purpose acquisition company transaction, the value of the company is established by means of negotiations between the target company, the special purpose acquisition company and, in many cases, “PIPE” investors who agree to purchase shares at the time of the business combination. The process of establishing the value of a company in a special purpose acquisition company business combination may be less effective than an initial public offering bookbuilding process and also does not reflect events that may have occurred between the date of the business combination agreement and the closing of the transaction. In addition, initial public offerings are frequently oversubscribed resulting in additional potential demand for shares in the aftermarket following the initial public offering. There is no such book of demand built up in connection with special purpose acquisition company transaction which may result in the share price being harder to sustain after the transaction.

The Business Combination may be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations, which could delay the transaction, require the parties to adopt mitigation measures to address perceived national security issues, or cause the government to block the transaction entirely.

Under the “Exon-Florio Amendment” to the U.S. Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended (the “DPA”), the U.S. President has the power to disrupt or block certain foreign investments in U.S. businesses if he determines that such a transaction threatens U.S. national security. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the

Table of Contents

United States (“CFIUS”) has been delegated the authority to conduct national security reviews of certain foreign investments (“Covered Transactions”). CFIUS may impose mitigation conditions to grant clearance of a transaction.

CFIUS has long exercised jurisdiction to review “Covered Control Transactions” where an investment affords a foreign person control over a U.S. business. The Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act (“FIRRMA”), enacted in 2018, amended the DPA to, among other things, expand CFIUS’s jurisdiction beyond acquisitions of control of U.S. businesses. Under FIRRMA, CFIUS also has jurisdiction over certain foreign

non-controlling,

non-passive

investments in U.S. businesses that: (i) produce, design, test, manufacture, fabricate, or develop one or more “critical technologies” within the meaning of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended; (ii) own, operate, maintain, supply, manufacture, or service covered investment critical infrastructure; or (iii) collect and maintain sensitive personal data of U.S. citizens (“TID U.S. Businesses”), if the foreign investor receives specified triggering rights in connection with its investment (“Covered Investments”).

The Parties have agreed to cooperate and coordinate to prepare and submit a joint voluntary declaration to CFIUS to obtain CFIUS clearance of the Business Combination. However, the Parties are including in the declaration an argument that the Business Combination is not subject to CFIUS review because it is neither a Covered Control Transaction nor a Covered Investment. The Parties’ argument is based on two general points. First, the Business Combination will result in CITIC Capital Acquisition LLC (“CITIC LLC”) indirectly acquiring a 8.41%

non-controlling

voting interest in the Company through its interest in CCAC (assuming no redemption of shares by CCAC’s public shareholders). CITIC LLC will have the right to vote its shares but will not have the right to board representation or any other express rights to govern or control the Company as a result of the Business Combination. A 8.41% voting interest with no other governance rights does not afford CITIC LLC the power—direct or indirect, and whether or not exercised—to determine, direct, or decide important matters affecting the Company. Therefore, the Parties believe that CITIC LLC will not “control” the Company as a result of the Proposed Transaction, and the Proposed Transaction is not a Covered Control Transaction.

Second, the Company is not TID U.S. Businesses because it does not develop or design critical technologies, collect or maintain sensitive personal data, or engage in specified activities with respect to critical investment technology. Therefore, the Business Combination is not a Covered Investment.

If you or a “group” of shareholders are deemed to hold in excess of 20% of the CCAC’s Class A ordinary shares, you will lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 20% of the CCAC’s Class A ordinary shares.

The Cayman Constitutional Documents provide that a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the shares sold in the IPO, which is referred to as the “Excess Shares.” In order to determine whether a shareholder is acting in concert or as a group with another shareholder, CCAC will require each public shareholder seeking to exercise redemption rights to certify to CCAC whether such shareholder is acting in concert or as a group with any other shareholder. Such certifications, together with other public

Table of Contents

information relating to stock ownership available to the CCAC at that time, such as Section 13D, Section 13G and Section 16 filings under the Exchange Act, will be the sole basis on which the CCAC makes the above-referenced determination. Your inability to redeem the Excess Shares will reduce your influence over CCAC’s ability to complete the Business Combination and you could suffer a material loss on your investment in CCAC if you sell Excess Shares in open market transactions. Additionally, you will not receive redemption distributions with respect to the Excess Shares if CCAC completes the Business Combination. As a result, you will continue to hold that number of CCAC Class A ordinary shares exceeding 20% and, in order to dispose of such shares, would be required to sell such shares in open market transactions, potentially at a loss. We cannot assure you that the value of suthe Excess Shares will appreciate over time following the initial business combination or that the market price of CCAC Class A ordinary shares will exceed the

per-share

redemption price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, shareholders may challenge CCAC’s determination as to whether a shareholder is acting in concert or as a group with another shareholder in a court of competent jurisdiction.

However, such shareholders may vote all their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against the Business Combination without this limitation on redemption.

Additional Risks Related to Ownership of Quanergy PubCo Common Stock Following the Business Combination and Quanergy PubCo Operating as a Public Company

Quanergy PubCo does not intend to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future.

Following the Business Combination, Quanergy PubCo currently intends to retain its future earnings, if any, to finance the further development and expansion of its business and does not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of Quanergy PubCo’s board of directors and will depend on its financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, restrictions contained in future agreements and financing instruments, business prospects and such other factors as its board of directors deems relevant.

If analysts do not publish research about Quanergy PubCo’s business or if they publish inaccurate or unfavorable research, Quanergy PubCo’s stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for the common stock of Quanergy PubCo will depend in part on the research and reports that analysts publish about its business. Quanergy does not have any control over these analysts. If one or more of the analysts who cover Quanergy PubCo downgrade its common stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about its business, the price of its common stock would likely decline. If few analysts cover Quanergy PubCo, demand for its common stock could decrease and its common stock price and trading volume may decline. Similar results may occur if one or more of these analysts stop covering Quanergy PubCo in the future or fail to publish reports on it regularly.

Quanergy PubCo’s business and operations could be negatively affected if it becomes subject to any securities litigation or shareholder activism, which could cause Quanergy PubCo to incur significant expense, hinder execution of business and growth strategy and impact its stock price.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been brought against that company. Shareholder activism, which could take many forms or arise in a variety of situations, has been increasing recently. Volatility in the stock price of the Quanergy PubCo Class A ordinary shares or other reasons may in the future cause it to become the target of securities litigation or shareholder activism. Securities litigation and shareholder activism, including potential proxy contests, could result in substantial costs and divert management’s and Quanergy PubCo Board’s attention and resources from the Quanergy PubCo’s business. Additionally, such securities litigation and shareholder activism could give rise to perceived uncertainties as to Quanergy PubCo’s future, adversely affect its relationships with service providers and make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel. Also, Quanergy PubCo may be required to incur significant legal fees and other expenses related to any securities litigation and activist shareholder matters.

Table of Contents

Further, its stock price could be subject to significant fluctuation or otherwise be adversely affected by the events, risks and uncertainties of any securities litigation and shareholder activism.

Future resales of Quanergy PubCo common stock after the consummation of the Business Combination may cause the market price of Quanergy PubCo’s securities to drop significantly, even if Quanergy PubCo’s business is doing well.

The Sponsor is subject to certain restrictions on transfer pursuant to that certain letter agreement, dated as of February 10, 2020, by and among the CCAC, the Sponsor, and the other parties signatory thereto with respect to: (i) the Founder Shares (as defined in such letter agreement); and (ii) private placement warrants (as defined in such letter agreement). Such restrictions on the Founder Shares end on the date that is one year after Closing, or are subject to an early price-based release if (a) the price of the shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share for any twenty trading days within

any thirty-day trading

period at least 150 days after the Business Combination, or (b) CCAC completes a transaction that results in public shareholders having the right to exchange the CCAC Class A ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property. The restrictions on the private placement warrants end on 30 days after the completion of a business combination. Certain stockholders of Quanergy are also subject to restrictions on transfer with respect to the shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock pursuant to the

Lock-Up Agreement.

Such restrictions with respect to the shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock held by Quanergy stockholders begin at Closing and end on the date that is 6 months after Closing, or are subject to an early price-based release if (a) the price of the shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share for any twenty trading days within

any thirty-day trading

period, or (b) CCAC completes a transaction that results in public shareholders having the right to exchange their common stock for cash, securities or other property.

However, following the expiration of such lockup, the Sponsor and certain stockholders of Quanergy will not be restricted from selling shares of Quanergy PubCo’s common stock held by them, other than by applicable securities laws. Additionally, the PIPE Investors will not be restricted from selling any of their shares of our common stock following the closing of the Business Combination, other than by applicable securities laws. As such, sales of a substantial number of shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of Quanergy PubCo common stock. Upon completion of the Business Combination, the Sponsor and the stockholders of Quanergy (not including the shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock issued in the PIPE Investment pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreements and including the shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock reserved in respect of Quanergy Awards outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing that will be converted into awards based on Quanergy PubCo common stock) will collectively own approximately 76.7% of the outstanding shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock, assuming that no additional public shareholders redeem their public shares in connection with the Business Combination. Assuming redemption of 14,186,659 public shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, in the aggregate, the ownership of the Sponsor and the stockholders of Quanergy (not including the shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock issued in the PIPE Investment pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreements and including the shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock reserved in respect of Quanergy Awards outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing that will be converted into awards based on Quanergy PubCo common stock) would rise to 85.6% of the outstanding shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock.

The shares held by Sponsor and certain stockholders of Quanergy may be sold after the expiration of the

applicable lock-up period

under the said letter agreement and

Lock-Up Agreement.

As restrictions on resale end and registration statements (filed after the Closing to provide for the resale of such shares from time to time) are available for use, the sale or possibility of sale of these shares could have the effect of increasing the volatility in Quanergy PubCo’s share price or the market price of Quanergy PubCo common stock could decline if the holders of currently restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.

A market for Quanergy PubCo’s securities may not continue, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of Quanergy PubCo’s securities.

Following the completion of the Business Combination, the price of Quanergy PubCo’s securities may fluctuate significantly due to the market’s reaction to the transactions and general market and economic conditions. An active trading market for Quanergy PubCo’s securities following the Business Combination may never develop or, if developed, it may not be sustained. In addition, the price of Quanergy PubCo’s securities after the Business Combination can vary due to general economic conditions and forecasts, Quanergy PubCo’s general business condition and the release of its financial reports. Additionally, if Quanergy PubCo’s securities are not listed on, or become delisted from, NYSE for any reason, and are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, an inter-dealer automated quotation system for equity securities that is not a national securities exchange, the liquidity and price of our securities may be more limited than if Quanergy PubCo’s securities were quoted or listed on NYSE or another national securities exchange. You may be unable to sell your securities unless a market can be established or sustained.

If the Business Combination’s benefits do not meet the expectations of investors, stockholders or financial analysts, the market price of Quanergy PubCo’s securities may decline.

If the benefits of the Business Combination do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of CCAC’s securities prior to the Closing may decline. The market values of CCAC securities at the time of the transaction may vary significantly from their prices on the date the Merger Agreement was executed, the date of this proxy statement / prospectus, or the date on which our stockholders vote on the Business Combination.

In addition, following the Business Combination, fluctuations in the price of Quanergy PubCo’s securities could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. Immediately prior to the transaction, there has not been a public market for Quanergy PubCo’s stock and trading in the shares of CCAC Class A ordinary shars has not been active. Accordingly, the valuation ascribed to Quanergy PubCo’s and CCAC Class A ordinary shares in the transaction may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market following the Business Combination. If an active market for Quanergy PubCo’s securities develops and continues, the trading price of Quanergy PubCo’s securities following the Business Combination could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on your investment in Quanergy PubCo’s securities and Quanergy PubCo’s securities may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid for them. In such circumstances, the trading price of Quanergy PubCo’s securities may not recover and may experience a further decline.

Factors affecting the trading price of Quanergy PubCo’s securities following the Business Combination may include:

•

actual or anticipated fluctuations in Quanergy PubCo’s quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to Quanergy PubCo;

•

changes in the market’s expectations about Quanergy PubCo’s operating results;

•

the public’s reaction to Quanergy PubCo’s press releases, Quanergy PubCo’s other public announcements and our filings with the SEC;

•

speculation in the press or investment community;

•

success of competitors;

•

Quanergy PubCo’s operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;

•

changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning Quanergy PubCo or the market in general;

102

Table of Contents

•

operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to Quanergy PubCo;

•

Quanergy PubCo’s ability to market new and enhanced products on a timely basis;

•

changes in laws and regulations affecting Quanergy PubCo’s business;

•

commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving Quanergy PubCo;

•

changes in Quanergy PubCo’s capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;

•

the volume of shares of Quanergy PubCo’s common stock available for public sale;

•

any major change in Quanergy PubCo’s board or management;

•

sales of substantial amounts of common stock by Quanergy PubCo’s directors, officers or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur; and

•

general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations, breakouts of pandemics and epidemics and acts of war or terrorism.

Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of Quanergy PubCo’s securities irrespective of its operating performance. The stock market in general and NYSE have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of Quanergy PubCo’s securities, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for the stocks of other companies that investors perceive to be similar to Quanergy PubCo could depress its stock price regardless of its business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of Quanergy PubCo’s securities also could adversely affect its ability to issue additional securities and its ability to obtain additional financing in the future. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been initiated against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert Quanergy PubCo’s management’s attention and resources, and could also require Quanergy PubCo to make substantial payments to satisfy judgments or to settle litigation.

Recent market volatility could impact the stock price and trading volume of Quanergy PubCo’s securities.

The trading market for Quanergy PubCo common stock could be impacted by recent market volatility. While Quanergy does not believe that it is more likely to be affected by market volatility than other public companies, recent stock

run-ups,

divergences in valuation ratios relative to those seen during traditional markets, high short interest or short squeezes, and strong and atypical retail investor interest in the markets may impact the demand for Quanergy PubCo common stock.

A possible “short squeeze” due to a sudden increase in demand of Quanergy PubCo common stock that largely exceeds supply may lead to price volatility in Quanergy PubCo common stock. Investors may purchase Quanergy PubCo common stock to hedge existing exposure or to speculate on the price of the Quanergy PubCo common stock. Speculation on the price of Quanergy PubCo common stock may involve both long and short exposures. To the extent aggregate short exposure exceeds the number of Quanergy PubCo common stock available for purchase (for example, in the event that large redemption requests dramatically affect liquidity), investors with short exposure may have to pay a premium to repurchase Quanergy PubCo common stock for delivery to lenders. Those repurchases may in turn, dramatically increase the price of the Quanergy PubCo common stock. This is often referred to as a “short squeeze.” A short squeeze could lead to volatile price movements in the Quanergy PubCo common stock that are not directly correlated to the operating performance of Quanergy

The obligations associated with being a public company will involve significant expenses and will require significant resources and management attention, which may divert from Quanergy PubCo’s business operations.

As a public company, Quanergy PubCo will become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Exchange Act requires the filing of annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to a public company’s business and financial condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that a public company establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting. As a result, Quanergy PubCo will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that Quanergy did not previously incur. Quanergy PubCo’s entire management team and many of its other employees will need to devote substantial time to compliance, and may not effectively or efficiently manage its transition into a public company.

These rules and regulations will result in Quanergy PubCo incurring substantial legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, these rules and regulations will likely make it more difficult and more expensive for Quanergy PubCo to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and it may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be difficult for Quanergy PubCo to attract and retain qualified people to serve on its board of directors, its board committees or as executive officers.

We may also be subject to more stringent state law requirements. For example, on September 30, 2018, the governor of California signed into law Senator Bill 826, which generally requires public companies with their principal executive office in California to have a minimum number of females on the company’s board of directors. By December 31, 2021, each public company with principal executive offices in California is required to have at least two females on its board of directors if the company has at least five directors, and at least three females on its board of directors if the company has at least six directors. Additionally, on September 30, 2020, California enacted AB 979, requiring public companies with their principal executive office in California to each have at least one director from an underrepresented community based on ethnicity and sexual orientation by December 31, 2021. By December 31, 2022, each of these companies will be required to have at least two directors from such underrepresented communities if such company has more than four but fewer than nine directors, or at least three directors from underrepresented communities if the company has nine or more directors. The new law does not provide a transition period for newly listed companies. The current anticipated composition of the board of directors of Quanergy PubCo includes one female director and one director from an underrepresented community. In order to meet the requirements of applicable California law, we expect to onboard the requisite number of female and diverse directors. If we fail to comply with these new laws, we could be fined by the California Secretary of State, with a $100,000 fine for the first violation and a $300,000 fine for each subsequent violation, and our reputation may be adversely affected. We cannot assure that we can recruit, attract and/or retain qualified members of the board and meet gender and diversity quotas as required by California law (provided that such laws are not repealed before the compliance deadlines), which may cause certain investors to divert their holdings in our securities and expose us to financial penalties and/or reputational harm.

We are currently an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and to the extent we have taken advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies or smaller reporting companies, this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.

We are currently an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act,

104

Table of Contents

reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a

non-binding

advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. As a result, our shareholders may not have access to certain information they may deem important. We cannot predict whether investors will find our securities less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result of our reliance on these exemptions, the trading prices of our securities may be lower than they otherwise would be, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the trading prices of our securities may be more volatile.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply

to non-emerging growth

companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company, which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accountant standards used.

Once we lose our “emerging growth company” status, we will no longer be able to take advantage of certain exemptions from reporting, and we will also be required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We will incur additional expenses in connection with such compliance and our management will need to devote additional time and effort to implement and comply with such requirements.

Risks Related to the Consummation of the Domestication

The Domestication may result in adverse tax consequences for holders of CCAC Class A ordinary shares and warrants, including holders exercising their redemption rights with respect to the CCAC Class A ordinary shares.

As discussed more fully under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” White & Case LLP has delivered an opinion that the Domestication will qualify as an F Reorganization. If the Domestication fails to qualify as an F Reorganization, a U.S. Holder (as defined in “

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—I. U.S. Holders

”) of CCAC Class A ordinary shares or warrants generally would recognize gain or loss with respect to its CCAC Class A ordinary shares or warrants in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the fair market value of the corresponding common stock or warrants of Quanergy PubCo received in the Domestication and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its CCAC Class A ordinary shares or warrants surrendered. Because the Domestication will occur prior to the redemption of U.S. Holders that exercise redemption rights with respect to CCAC Class A ordinary shares, U.S. Holders exercising such redemption rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of the Domestication. Additionally,

Non-U.S.

Holders (as defined in “

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—II.

Non-U.S.

Holders

”) may become subject to withholding tax on any amounts treated as dividends paid on Quanergy PubCo common stock after the Domestication.

Based on the expected treatment of the Domestication as an F Reorganization, subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, U.S. Holders generally will be subject to Section 367(b) of the Code, and, as a result:

•

A U.S. Holder who is a 10% U.S. Shareholder on the date of the Domestication must include in income as a dividend deemed paid by CCAC the “all earnings and profits amount” attributable to the CCAC Class A ordinary shares it directly owns within the meaning of Treasury Regulations under Section 367 of the Code;

105

Table of Contents

•

Additionally, even if the Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization, proposed Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 1291(f) of the Code (which may have a retroactive effective date) generally require that a U.S. person who disposes of stock of a PFIC (including for this purpose exchanging CCAC warrants for newly issued Quanergy PubCo warrants in the Domestication) must recognize gain equal to the excess of the fair market value of such PFIC stock over its adjusted tax basis, notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. CCAC believes that it is likely classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, these proposed Treasury Regulations, if finalized in their current form, would generally require a U.S. Holder of CCAC Class A ordinary shares to recognize gain under the PFIC rules on the exchange of CCAC Class A ordinary shares for Quanergy PubCo common stock pursuant to the Domestication unless such U.S. Holder has made certain tax elections with respect to such U.S. Holder’s CCAC Class A ordinary shares. In addition, the proposed Treasury Regulations provide coordinating rules with other sections of the Code, including Section 367(b), which affect the manner in which the rules under such other sections apply to transfers of PFIC stock. These proposed Treasury Regulations, if finalized in their current form, would also apply to a U.S. Holder who exchanges CCAC warrants for newly issued Quanergy PubCo warrants; currently, however, the elections mentioned above do not apply to CCAC warrants (for discussion regarding the unclear application of the PFIC rules to CCAC warrants, see “

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—I. U.S. Holders—A. Tax Effects of the Domestication to U.S. Holders —5. PFIC Considerations

”). Any gain recognized from the application of the PFIC rules described above would be taxable income with no corresponding receipt of cash. The tax on any such gain would be imposed at the rate applicable to ordinary income and an interest charge would apply based on complex rules designed to offset the tax deferral to such U.S. Holder on the undistributed earnings, if any, of CCAC. It is not possible to determine at this time whether, in what form, and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code may be adopted or how any such Treasury Regulations would apply.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the rights of holders of Quanergy PubCo common stock arising under the DGCL as well as Proposed Organizational Documents will differ from and may be less favorable to the rights of holders of CCAC Class A ordinary shares arising under the Cayman Islands Companies Law as well as our current memorandum and articles of association.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the rights of holders of Quanergy PubCo common stock will arise under the Proposed Organizational Documents as well as the DGCL. Those new organizational documents and the DGCL contain provisions that differ in some respects from those in our current memorandum and articles of association and the Cayman Islands Companies Law and, therefore, some rights of holders of Quanergy PubCo common stock could differ from the rights that holders of CCAC Class A ordinary shares currently possess. For instance, while class actions are generally not available to shareholders under Cayman Islands Companies Law, such actions are generally available under the DGCL. This change could increase the likelihood that Quanergy PubCo becomes involved in costly litigation, which could have a material adverse effect on Quanergy PubCo.

In addition, there are differences between the new organizational documents of Quanergy PubCo and the current constitutional documents of CCAC. For a more detailed description of the rights of holders of Quanergy

PubCo common stock and how they may differ from the rights of holders of CCAC Class A ordinary shares, please see “

Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights.

” The forms of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws of Quanergy PubCo are attached as Annex J and Annex I, respectively, to this proxy statement / prospectus and we urge you to read them.

Delaware law and Quanergy PubCo’s Proposed Organizational Documents contain certain provisions, including anti-takeover provisions that limit the ability of stockholders to take certain actions and could delay or discourage takeover attempts that stockholders may consider favorable.

The Proposed Organizational Documents that will be in effect upon consummation of the Business Combination, and the DGCL, contain provisions that could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, or preventing an acquisition that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock, and therefore depress the trading price of Quanergy PubCo’s common stock. These provisions could also make it difficult for stockholders to take certain actions, including electing directors who are not nominated by the current members of Quanergy PubCo’s board of directors or taking other corporate actions, including effecting changes in our management. Among other things, the Proposed Organizational Documents include provisions regarding:

•

providing for a classified board of directors with staggered, three-year terms which could delay the ability of stockholders to change the membership of a majority of the Quanergy PubCo’s Board;

•

the ability of Quanergy PubCo’s board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock, including “blank check” preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquirer;

•

the Quanergy PubCo Proposed Certificate of Incorporation will prohibit cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates;

•

the limitation of the liability of, and the indemnification of, Quanergy PubCo’s directors and officers;

•

the right of the Quanergy PubCo Board to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the Quanergy PubCo Board or the resignation, death or removal of a director, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on the Quanergy PubCo Board;

•

the ability of Quanergy PubCo’s board of directors to amend the bylaws, which may allow Quanergy PubCo’s board of directors to take additional actions to prevent an unsolicited takeover and inhibit the ability of an acquirer to amend the bylaws to facilitate an unsolicited takeover attempt; and

•

advance notice procedures with which stockholders must comply to nominate candidates to Quanergy PubCo’s board of directors or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting, which could preclude stockholders from bringing matters before annual or special meetings of stockholders and delay changes in Quanergy PubCo’s board of directors and also may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of Quanergy PubCo.

These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in Quanergy PubCo’s board of directors or management.

The provisions of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation requiring exclusive forum in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the federal district courts of the United States for certain types of lawsuits may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers.

Quanergy PubCo’s Proposed Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and unless Quanergy PubCo consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of

107

Table of Contents

Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, in the event that the Chancery Court does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware) will be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action, suit or proceeding brought on Quanergy PubCo’s behalf, (ii) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or stockholder of Quanergy PubCo to Quanergy PubCo or Quanergy PubCo’s stockholders, (iii) any action, suit or proceeding arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or Quanergy PubCo’s Bylaws or Quanergy PubCo’s Certificate of Incorporation (as each may be amended from time to time), (iv) any action, suit or proceeding as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or (v) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim against Quanergy PubCo or any current or former director, officer or stockholder governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, both state and federal courts have jurisdiction to entertain such Securities Act claims. To prevent having to litigate claims in multiple jurisdictions and the threat of inconsistent or contrary rulings by different courts, among other considerations, the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation will also provide that, unless Quanergy PubCo consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act; however, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provision, and investors cannot waive compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

These provisions may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against Quanergy PubCo’s directors and officers. The enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that, in connection with any applicable action brought against Quanergy PubCo, a court could find the choice of forum provisions contained in the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in such action.

Risks if the Domestication and the Business Combination are not Consummated

If we are not able to complete the Business Combination with Quanergy by February 13, 2022 nor able to complete another business combination by such date, in each case, as such date may be further extended pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, we would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and we would redeem our Class A ordinary shares and liquidate the trust account, in which case our public shareholders may only receive approximately $10.00 per public share and our warrants will expire worthless.

Our ability to complete our initial business combination may be negatively impacted by general market conditions, volatility in the capital and debt markets and the other risks described herein. For example, the outbreak

of COVID-19 continues

to grow in the U.S. and, while the extent of the impact of the outbreak on CCAC will depend on future developments, it could limit our ability to complete our initial business combination, including as a result of increased market volatility, decreased market liquidity and third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to us or at all. Additionally, the outbreak of

the COVID-19 may

negatively impact Quanergy PubCo’s business following the Business Combination.

If CCAC is not able to complete the Business Combination with Quanergy by February 13, 2022, nor able to complete another business combination by such date, in each case, as such date may be extended pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents CCAC will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at

a per-share price,

payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued public shares, which redemption will completely

108

Table of Contents

extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any) and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of CCAC’s remaining shareholders and its board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject, in each case, to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law. In such case, our public shareholders may only receive approximately $10.00 per share and our warrants will expire worthless.

You will not have any rights or interests in funds from the trust account, except under certain limited circumstances. To liquidate your investment, therefore, you may be forced to sell your public shares and/or public warrants, potentially at a loss.

Our public shareholders will be entitled to receive funds from the trust account only upon the earliest to occur of (1) our completion of an initial business combination (including the Closing), and then only in connection with those public shares that such public shareholder properly elected to redeem, subject to certain limitations; (2) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Cayman Constitutional Documents to (A) modify the substance and timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if we do not complete a business combination by February 13, 2022 or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights

or pre-initial business

combination activity; and (3) the redemption of the public shares if we have not completed an initial business combination by February 13, 2022, subject to applicable law. In no other circumstances will a shareholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust account. Holders of public warrants will not have any right to the proceeds held in the trust account with respect to the public warrants. Accordingly, to liquidate your investment, you may be forced to sell your public shares and/or public warrants, potentially at a loss.

If we have not completed our initial business combination, our public shareholders may be forced to wait until after February 13, 2022 before redemption from the trust account.

If we have not completed our initial business combination by February 13, 2022 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), we will distribute the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), pro rata to our public shareholders by way of redemption and cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up of our affairs, as further described in this proxy statement / prospectus. Any redemption of public shareholders from the trust account shall be affected automatically by function of the Cayman Constitutional Documents prior to any voluntary winding up. If we are required to

wind-up,

liquidate the trust account and distribute such amount therein, pro rata, to our public shareholders, as part of any liquidation process, such winding up, liquidation and distribution must comply with the applicable provisions of the Cayman Islands Companies Law. In that case, investors may be forced to wait beyond February 13, 2022 (or if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), before the redemption proceeds of the trust account become available to them, and they receive the return of their pro rata portion of the proceeds from the trust account. We have no obligation to return funds to investors prior to the date of our redemption or liquidation unless, prior thereto, we consummate our initial business combination or amend certain provisions of our Cayman Constitutional Documents and only then in cases where investors have properly sought to redeem their public shares. Only upon our redemption or any liquidation will public shareholders be entitled to distributions if we have not completed our initial business combination within the required time period and do not amend certain provisions of our Cayman Constitutional Documents prior thereto.

If the net proceeds of CCAC’s initial public offering not being held in the trust account are insufficient to allow us to operate through to February 13, 2022 and we are unable to obtain additional capital, we may be unable to complete our initial business combination, in which case our public shareholders may only receive $10.00 per share, and our warrants will expire worthless.

As of June 30, 2021, CCAC had cash of $126,622 held outside the trust account, available for working capital and including for use by us to cover the costs associated with identifying a target business and negotiating a business combination and other general corporate uses. In addition, as of June 30, 2021, CCAC had total liabilities of $35,859,605.

The funds available to us outside of the trust account may not be sufficient to allow us to operate until February 13, 2022, assuming that our initial business combination is not completed during that time. Of the funds available to us, we could use a portion of the funds available to us to pay fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business. We could also use a portion of the funds as a down payment or to fund

a “no-shop” provision

(a provision in letters of intent designed to keep target businesses from “shopping” around for transactions with other companies on terms more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed business combination, although we do not have any current intention to do so. If we entered into a letter of intent where we paid for the right to receive exclusivity from a target business and were subsequently required to forfeit such funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise), we might not have sufficient funds to continue searching for, or conduct due diligence with respect to, a target business.

If we are required to seek additional capital, we would need to borrow funds from Sponsor, members of our management team or other third parties to operate or may be forced to liquidate. Neither the members of our management team nor any of their affiliates is under any further obligation to advance funds to CCAC in such circumstances. Any such advances would be repaid only from funds held outside the trust account or from funds released to us upon completion of our initial business combination. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may be unable to complete our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the trust account. Consequently, our public shareholders may only receive approximately $10.00 per public share on our redemption of the public shares and the public warrants will expire worthless.

Because CCAC is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, in the event the Business Combination is not completed, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited.

Because CCAC is currently incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited prior to the Domestication. CCAC is currently an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon CCAC’s directors or officers, or enforce judgments obtained in the United States courts against VIH’s directors or officers.

Until the Domestication is effected, CCAC’s corporate affairs are governed by the Cayman Constitutional Documents, the Companies Act of the Cayman Islands and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of its directors to CCAC under the laws of the Cayman Islands are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of CCAC’s shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of its directors under Cayman Islands law are different from what they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the

110

Table of Contents

Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and certain states, such as Delaware, may have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholders derivative action in a federal court of the United States.

CCAC has been advised by its Cayman Islands legal counsel that the courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely (a) to recognize or enforce against CCAC judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state; and (b) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities against CCAC predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state, so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature. In those circumstances, although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman Islands, such judgment must be final and conclusive and for a liquidated sum, and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, impeachable on the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, or be of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands (awards of punitive or multiple damages may well be held to be contrary to public policy). A Cayman Islands court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

The public shareholders of CCAC may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of the CCAC Board or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a U.S. company.

Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities in our financial statements and the changes in value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.

On April 12, 2021, the Acting Director of the Division of Corporation Finance and Acting Chief Accountant of the SEC together issued a statement regarding the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC Statement”). Specifically, the SEC Statement focused on certain settlement terms and provisions related to certain tender offers following a business combination, which terms are similar to those contained in the warrant agreement governing our warrants. As a result of the SEC Statement, we reevaluated the accounting treatment of our 13,800,000 public warrants and 7,520,000 private placement warrants, and determined to classify the warrants as derivative liabilities measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings.

As a result, we have included on our balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2021 contained elsewhere in this proxy statement / prospectus are derivative liabilities related to our warrants. Accounting Standards Codification 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), provides for the remeasurement of the fair value of such derivatives at each balance sheet date, with a resulting

non-cash

gain or loss related to the change in the fair value being recognized in earnings in the statement of operations. As a result of the recurring fair value measurement, our financial statements and results of operations may fluctuate quarterly, based on factors, which are outside of our control. Due to the recurring fair value measurement, we expect that we will recognize

non-cash

gains or losses on our warrants each reporting period and that the amount of such gains or losses could be material. The impact of changes in fair value on earnings may have an adverse effect on the market price of our ordinary shares. In addition, potential targets may seek a special purpose acquisition company that does not have warrants that are accounted for as liability, which may make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial business combination with a target business.

111

Table of Contents

The pro forma financial information included in this proxy statement / prospectus has been prepared on the assumption that the Private Warrants will continue to be treated as liabilities, but the Public Warrants will be treated as equity and an adjustment is made to reverse the remeasurement of warrant liabilities recorded in our historic balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2021 as described in “

Selected Unaudited Pro forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

”. We cannot assure you that this assumption used in preparing the pro forma financial information may not prove to be accurate which could result in material differences between the preliminary estimates in the pro forma financial information and the final acquisition accounting.

We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. If we are unable to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

Following this issuance of the SEC Statement, after consultation with our independent registered public accounting firm, our management concluded that, in light of the SEC Statement, we identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. We continue to evaluate steps to remediate the material weakness. These remediation measures may be time consuming and costly and there is no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.

If we identify any new material weaknesses in the future, any such newly identified material weakness could limit our ability to prevent or detect a misstatement of our accounts or disclosures that could result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements. In such case, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and our stock price may decline as a result. We cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date, or any measures we may take in the future, will be sufficient to avoid potential future material weaknesses.

We may face litigation and other risks as a result of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

As a result of such material weakness, the change in accounting for the warrants, and other matters raised or that may in the future be raised by the SEC, we face potential for litigation or other disputes which may include, among others, claims invoking the federal and state securities laws, contractual claims or other claims arising from the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements. As of the date of this proxy statement / prospectus, we have no knowledge of any such litigation or dispute. However, we can provide no assurance that such litigation or dispute will not arise in the future. Any such litigation or dispute, whether successful or not, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition or our ability to complete a business combination transaction.

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF CCAC

General

” beginning on page 161 of this proxy statement / prospectus for a further discussion of these considerations.

Record Date; Who is Entitled to Vote

CCAC shareholders will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the extraordinary general meeting if they owned ordinary shares at the close of business on

, 2021, which is the “record date” for the extraordinary general meeting. Shareholders will have one vote for each ordinary share owned at the close of business on the record date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. CCAC warrants do not have voting rights. As of the close of business on the record date, there were ordinary shares issued, of which were issued public shares.

The Sponsor and each director and each officer of CCAC have agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, in the case of the Sponsor, subject also to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Sponsor Support Agreement, and waive their redemption rights in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination with respect to any ordinary shares held by them. The ordinary shares held by the Sponsor will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the

per-share

redemption price. As of the date of this proxy statement / prospectus, the Sponsor (whose members include CCAC’s directors and officers) owns 20% of the issued ordinary shares.

Quorum

A quorum of CCAC shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the extraordinary general meeting if the holders of a majority of the issued ordinary shares entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting are represented in person or by proxy. As of the record date for the extraordinary general meeting, ordinary shares would be required to achieve a quorum.

Abstentions and Broker

Non-Votes

Proxies that are marked “abstain” and proxies relating to “street name” shares that are returned to CCAC but marked by brokers as “not voted” will be treated as shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum on all matters, but they will not be treated as shares voted on the matter. Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to

non-discretionary

matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank, or nominee. CCAC believes all the proposals presented to the shareholders will be considered

non-discretionary

and therefore your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the BCA Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the quorate extraordinary general meeting.

The approval of the Domestication Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of at least

two-thirds

of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the quorate extraordinary general meeting.

two-thirds

Voting Your Shares

Each CCAC ordinary share that you own in your name entitles you to one vote. Your proxy card shows the number of ordinary shares that you own. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.

There are two ways to vote your ordinary shares at the extraordinary general meeting:

•

You Can Vote By Signing and Returning the Enclosed Proxy Card

. If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares will be voted as recommended by CCAC’s board “FOR” the approval of the BCA Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Domestication Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal, “FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of each of the separate Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, “FOR” the approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the ESPP Proposal and “FOR” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented to the extraordinary general meeting. Votes received after a matter has been voted upon at the extraordinary general meeting will not be counted.

•

You Can Attend the General Meeting and Vote in Person

•

If your shares are registered in your name with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and you wish to attend the extraordinary general meeting, go to

a valid legal proxy will be issued a

meeting control number that will allow them to register to attend and participate in the extraordinary general meeting. After contacting Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a beneficial holder will receive an

e-mail

prior to the extraordinary general meeting with a link and instructions for entering the extraordinary general meeting. Beneficial shareholders should contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company at least five (5) business days prior to the extraordinary general meeting date in order to ensure access.

If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. If you wish to attend the meeting and vote in person or online and your shares are held in “street name,” you must obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or nominee. That is the only way CCAC can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you are a CCAC shareholder and you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:

•

you may send another proxy card with a later date;

116

Table of Contents

•

you may notify Fanglu Wang, Chief Executive Officer and Director of CCAC, in writing before the extraordinary general meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

•

you may attend the extraordinary general meeting, revoke your proxy, and vote, as indicated above.

If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker for information on how to change or revoke your voting instructions.

Who Can Answer Your Questions About Voting Your Shares

If you are a shareholder and have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your ordinary shares, you may call Morrow Sodali LLC, our proxy solicitor, by calling

(800) 662-5200, or

banks and brokers can call at

(203) 658-9400, or

by emailing CCAC.info@investor.morrowsodali.com.

Redemption Rights

•

(a) hold public shares, or (b) if you hold public shares through CCAC units, you elect to separate your CCAC units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares;

•

submit a written request to Continental, CCAC’s transfer agent, that Quanergy PubCo redeem all or a portion of your public shares for cash; and

•

deliver the certificates for your public shares (if any) along with the redemption forms to Continental, physically or electronically through DTC.

Holders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their public shares in the manner described above prior to

, Eastern Time, on

, 2021 (two business days before the extraordinary general meeting) in order for their shares to be redeemed.

Therefore, the election to exercise redemption rights occurs prior to the Domestication and the redemption is with respect to the Quanergy PubCo public shares that an electing public shareholder holds after the Domestication. For the purposes of the Cayman Constitutional Documents, the exercise of redemption rights shall be treated as an election to have such public shares redeemed for cash and references in this proxy statement / prospectus to “redemption” or “redeeming” shall be interpreted accordingly. Immediately following the Domestication and the consummation of the Business Combination, Quanergy PubCo shall satisfy the exercise of redemption rights by redeeming the corresponding public shares issued to the public shareholders that validly exercised their redemption rights.

Holders of CCAC units must elect to separate the CCAC units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If holders hold their CCAC units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the CCAC units into the underlying public shares and public warrants, or if a holder holds CCAC units registered in its own name, the holder must contact Continental, CCAC’s transfer agent, directly and instruct them to do so. Public shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of the public shares held by them, regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the BCA Proposal. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the public shares will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank and the public shares will not be redeemed for cash, even if their holders have properly exercised redemption rights with respect to such public shares

. If the Business Combination is

117

Table of Contents

consummated, and if a public shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the public shares that it holds and timely delivers the certificates for its shares (if any) along with the redemption forms to Continental, Quanergy PubCo will redeem such public shares for a

per-share

If you hold the shares in “street name,” you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Quanergy PubCo public shares that have not been tendered (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through DTC’s DWAC (deposit withdrawal at custodian) system. The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker $80 and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming shareholder. In the event the proposed Business Combination is not consummated this may result in an additional cost to shareholders for the return of their shares.

Any corrected or changed written exercise of redemption rights must be received by Continental prior to the vote taken on the BCA Proposal at the extraordinary general meeting. No request for redemption will be honored unless the holder’s public shares have been delivered (either physically or electronically) to Continental at least two business days prior to the vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such public shareholder or any other person with whom such public shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the public shares. Accordingly, if a public shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 20% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 20% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

per-share

redemption price. As of the date of this proxy statement / prospectus, the Sponsor (whose members include CCAC’s directors and officers) owns 20% of the issued ordinary shares.

Holders of the warrants will not have redemption rights with respect to the warrants.

The closing price of public shares on , 2021, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement / prospectus, was $ . As of June 30, 2021 there was $277,859,656 in investments and cash held in the Trust Account and $126,622 of cash held outside the Trust Account available for working

118

Table of Contents

capital purposes. As of June 30, 2021, funds in the trust account totaled $277,859,656 and were comprised U.S. government treasury bills, notes or bonds with a maturity of 180 days or less or of money market funds meeting certain conditions under

Rule 2a-7

under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, or approximately $10.00 per issued public share.

Prior to exercising redemption rights, public shareholders should verify the market price of the public shares as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their public shares in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per public share is higher than the redemption price. CCAC cannot assure its shareholders that they will be able to sell their public shares in the open market, even if the market price per public share is higher than the redemption price, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when its shareholders wish to sell their public shares.

Appraisal Rights

Neither CCAC’s shareholders nor CCAC’s warrant holders have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination or the Domestication under Cayman Islands law or under the DGCL.

Proxy Solicitation

CCAC is soliciting proxies on behalf of the CCAC Board. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. CCAC and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other electronic means. CCAC will file with the SEC all scripts and other electronic communications as proxy soliciting materials. CCAC will bear the cost of the solicitation.

CCAC has engaged Morrow Sodali LLC to assist in the solicitation process and will pay Morrow Sodali LLC a fee of $35,000, plus disbursements.

CCAC will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. CCAC will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

CCAC Initial Shareholders

At any time at or prior to the Business Combination, subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material

non-public

information), the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Quanergy or CCAC or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may (i) purchase public shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the Condition Precedent Proposals, or elect to redeem, or indicate an intention to redeem, public shares, (ii) execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or (iii) enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares, vote their public shares in favor of the Condition Precedent Proposals or not redeem their public shares. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record holder of CCAC’s shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor, the existing stockholders of Quanergy or CCAC or their respective directors, officers, advisors, or respective affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The

119

Table of Contents

purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of (1) satisfaction of the requirement that holders of a majority of the ordinary shares, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote in favor of the BCA Proposal, the Stock Issuance Proposal, Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, (2) satisfaction of the requirement that holders of a majority of at least

two-thirds

of the ordinary shares, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote in favor of the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal and the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal, (3) satisfaction of the Minimum Cash Condition, (4) otherwise limiting the number of public shares electing to redeem and (5) CCAC’s net tangible assets being at least $5,000,001. Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the ordinary shares (e.g., by giving an investor or holder the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market, such investor or holder may therefore become more likely to sell the shares he or she owns, either at or prior to the Business Combination).

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved.

BCA PROPOSAL

CCAC is asking its shareholders to approve by ordinary resolution and adopt the Merger Agreement. CCAC shareholders should read carefully this proxy statement / prospectus in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A and Annex B to this proxy statement / prospectus. Please see the subsection entitled “

The Merger Agreement

” below for additional information and a summary of certain terms of the Merger Agreement. You are urged to read carefully the Merger Agreement in its entirety before voting on this proposal.

Because CCAC is holding a shareholder vote on the Merger, CCAC may consummate the Merger only if it is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of ordinary shares that are voted at the extraordinary general meeting.

The Merger Agreement

This subsection of the proxy statement / prospectus describes the material provisions of the Merger Agreement, but does not purport to describe all of the terms of the Merger Agreement. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement / prospectus. You are urged to read the Merger Agreement in its entirety because it is the primary legal document that governs the Merger

The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Merger Agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the Merger Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement are also modified in part by the underlying disclosure letters (the “disclosure letters”), which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to shareholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. We do not believe that the disclosure letters contain information that is material to an investment decision. Additionally, the representations and warranties of the parties to the Merger Agreement may or may not have been accurate as of any specific date and do not purport to be accurate as of the date of this proxy statement / prospectus. Accordingly, no person should rely on the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement or the summaries thereof in this proxy statement / prospectus as characterizations of the actual state of facts about CCAC, Quanergy or any other matter

Structure of the Merger

On June 21, 2021, CCAC entered into the Merger Agreement, as amended on June 28, 2021, with Merger Sub and Quanergy, pursuant to which, among other things, following the Domestication, (i) Merger Sub will merge with and into Quanergy, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and Quanergy will be the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of CCAC and (ii) CCAC will change its name to “Quanergy Systems, Inc.”.

Prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, pursuant to the Domestication, CCAC will change its jurisdiction of incorporation by effecting a deregistration under the Cayman Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands and a domestication under Section 388 of the DGCL, pursuant to which CCAC’s jurisdiction of incorporation will be changed from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware.

In connection with the Domestication, (i) each then issued share of CCAC Class B common stock will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of Quanergy PubCo Class A common stock; (ii) immediately following the conversion described in clause (i), each then issued share of Quanergy PubCo

121

Table of Contents

Class A common stock will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of common stock, par value $0.0001, per share of Quanergy PubCo (after its domestication as a corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware) (the “Domesticated Quanergy PubCo common stock”); (iii) each then issued and outstanding warrant of Quanergy PubCo (“Cayman Quanergy PubCo Warrant”) will convert automatically into a warrant to acquire one share of Domesticated Quanergy PubCo common stock (“Domesticated Quanergy PubCo Warrant”), pursuant to the Warrant Agreement; and (iv) each then issued and outstanding unit of Quanergy PubCo (the “Cayman Quanergy PubCo Units”) will convert automatically into a unit of Quanergy PubCo (after its domestication as a corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware) (the “Domesticated Quanergy PubCo Units”), with each Domesticated Quanergy PubCo Unit representing one share of Domesticated Quanergy PubCo common stock and one-half of one Domesticated Quanergy PubCo Warrant.

At the Effective Time, all shares of Quanergy capital stock, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any share of Quanergy Capital Stock issued pursuant to exercise or conversion of any Quanergy Warrant or 2023 Quanergy Convertible Note, as applicable, and Quanergy Awards will be converted into the right to receive (in the case of Quanergy Awards, if and to the extent earned and subject to their respective terms) the Aggregate Merger Consideration (as defined below).

An additional 4,000,000 shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock will be purchased (at a price of $10.00 per share) at the Closing by the PIPE Investors for a total aggregate purchase price of up to $40,000,000. The proceeds of the PIPE Investment, together with the amounts remaining in CITC’s trust account as of immediately following the Effective Time of the Merger, will be retained by Quanergy PubCo following the Closing.

After completion of the initial public offering, CCAC’s officers and directors commenced an active search for prospective businesses or assets to acquire in its initial business combination. Representatives of CCAC discussed with numerous individuals, financial advisors, business owners and other entities who offered to present ideas for business combination opportunities. CCAC’s officers and directors and their affiliates actively searched for and brought business combination targets to CCAC Board’s attention. CCAC’s financial advisor, Credit Suisse, was consulted on many of the deals that CCAC considered in depth, other than those that CCAC immediately passed on after a preliminary review.

Between CCAC’s IPO in February 2020 through December 2020, CCAC reviewed more than 40 business combination opportunities across a wide range of industries including energy efficiency, renewable energy, electric vehicles, autonomous driving, data centers, and others. During this period, CCAC entered into confidentiality agreements with 20 of these potential business combination targets, including Quanergy. These

142

confidentiality agreements were individually negotiated on customary terms. After signing the confidentiality agreements, CCAC had active discussions with these 20 potential business targets, including conducting management interviews, reviewing materials provided in a virtual data room, seeking sector expertise and advice from Credit Suisse, and in some instances, conducting live or virtual site visits and speaking with existing shareholders. During its review, CCAC took into account several important considerations when evaluating each of the 20 potential business targets, including, among others: (1) future business growth potential; (2) market size, opportunity and competitive landscape; (3) existing and future planned geographic expansion; (4) management quality and readiness to be a public company; (5) quality of R&D team and technological advancements; (6) existing shareholders; (7) complementarity with CCAC’s management team and network; and (8) valuation expectations. Credit Suisse shared their sector knowledge when CCAC had questions relating to potential target business’ market positioning or overall market size. CCAC eventually delivered formal letters of intent to four of these companies, including Quanergy, in consultation with Credit Suisse. These letters of intent were all negotiated on an individual basis and with advisement of CCAC’s legal counsel, White & Case LLP. CCAC ultimately determined not to proceed with each of the other potential business combination opportunities, either because: (i) CCAC did not prevail or could not pre-empt a competing proposal; (ii) CCAC could not come to an agreement with the counterparty on the economic terms for a potential transaction; or (iii) CCAC concluded that the target business or the terms of a potential business combination would not be suitable for CCAC based on further due diligence.

On February 28, 2020, Mr. Henri Arif, one of CCAC’s independent directors, had an initial telephonic meeting with Mr. Patrick Archambault, the chief financial officer of Quanergy, and Mr. Jim Disanto, one of Quanergy’s directors, to discuss the potential benefits of a business combination between CCAC and Quanergy. During this conversation, Mr. Arif inquired about the progress of the OPA technology platform, as well as the new strategy and execution plan laid out by Quanergy’s new management. It was agreed that further discussions were warranted between the management teams of CCAC and Quanergy.

Mr. Arif had been familiar with Quanergy since the Spring of 2017 when certain funds affiliated with Tharsis Capital, a private investment fund affiliated with Mr. Arif acquired an aggregate of 246,250 shares of common stock of Quanergy, representing approximately 1.79% of the fully diluted share capital of Quanergy as of May 5, 2017. CITIC was also familiar with Quanergy since February 2018 when CITIC Capital Silk Road Fund LP (“CCSRF”), a private investment fund affiliated with Mr. Fanglu Wang, CCAC’s Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Eric Chan, CCAC’s Chief Financial Officer, was initially introduced to Quanergy through Quanergy’s financial advisor at that time, as well as Mr. Arif, at about the same time.

On October 17, 2018, Quanergy completed its Series C preferred stock financing, pursuant to which (i) a wholly-owned investment vehicle of CCSRF, acquired equity securities representing approximately 0.58% of the fully diluted share capital of Quanergy and the right to designate one director to the board of directors of Quanergy, which in total consisted of eight authorized directors at that time, and (ii) certain funds affiliated with Tharsis Capital (“Tharsis Funds”) further acquired additional equity securities, which, taken in total with the previous acquisition of shares, represented approximately 1.86% of the fully diluted share capital of Quanergy at the time.

Between January 1, 2019 and July 1, 2020, in accordance with the transaction documents by and among the Series C investors, certain existing shareholders of Series C Preferred Stock of Quanergy transferred additional equity interest to CCSRF and Tharsis Funds, and CCSRF and Tharsis Funds exercised vested warrants which, taken in total with the previous acquisition of equity, represented approximately 0.82% and 1.96% of the fully diluted share capital of Quanergy, respectively, as of July 1, 2020.

Between February 28 and March 7, 2020, several phone conversations occurred between CCAC directors, namely Mr. Arif and Mr. Wang, and Quanergy’s management team, and in particular with Mr. Kevin Kennedy, the chief executive officer of Quanergy and Mr. Archambault, as well as Mr. Disanto. During such discussions, parties discussed preliminary aspects of a potential business combination and Quanergy’s business and

operations, and an in-person meeting was agreed upon to take place between CCAC’s representatives and Quanergy’s management to discuss a potential transaction between the two companies. The Quanergy Board was regularly updated for these discussions with CCAC’s management, and CCSRF’s designee to the Quanergy Board did not participate in any such discussion regarding a potential transaction involving CCAC and recused herself from any meetings of the board or portion thereof at which such a potential transaction was discussed, as well as all matters requiring a vote thereon.

On March 12, 2020, Mr. Wang and Mr. Arif visited Quanergy’s headquarters in Sunnyvale, CA, where Quanergy’s management team had planned a half-day session to update CCAC’s management on the recent technology progress, as well as lay-out the new strategic direction and the execution plan the Quanergy management had embarked on. The meeting focused on several areas, among other things: (i) updated development roadmap for the Optical Phased Array LiDAR and path to its commercialization; (ii) company strategy on addressing the IoT markets in the near term and automotive market in the longer term; and (iii) financing options including potential strategic partnerships with first and second generation LiDAR players to bridge the gap to the Quanergy’s third generation technology, which both parties agreed would be the major value driver to any broader platform.

On April 2, 2020, CCAC and Quanergy executed a confidentiality agreement after negotiation. Prior to entering into the confidentiality agreement with Quanergy, each of the Quanergy Board and CCAC Board was made aware of the relationships among affiliates of each of CCAC and Quanergy described above.

Following the in-person meeting on March 12, 2020, and through the end of April 2020, both Quanergy’s management team and Mr. Arif, on behalf of CCAC, had several conversations with various potential strategic parties to explore potential synergies with Quanergy on the technical, commercial, and human resource levels.

In early May 2020, from such conversations with various potential strategic parties, one particular company was identified to CCAC and Quanergy as a potential suitable partner for Quanergy (the “Additional Target”), which could provide near term automotive solutions, with the OPA expected to take over as the next generation platform. CCAC analysed the Additional Target as a standalone business to understand its current market positioning and how it could benefit Quanergy from a sales and customer perspective, but it did not consider the Additional Target for acquisition on a standalone basis.

On May 25, 2020, Quanergy signed a confidentiality agreement with the Additional Target after negotiation.

On May 27, 2020, the Quanergy Board met, with management and representatives of Raymond James present, and discussed certain financial aspects of potential business combination opportunities, including with special purpose acquisition companies such as CCAC.

On June 4, 2020, the respective management teams of the Additional Target and CCAC had a telephonic meeting to understand where synergies could be found in a potential strategic combination among Quanergy, the Additional Target and CCAC. Following that telephonic meeting and over the next few weeks, the CCAC team started conducting due diligence on the Additional Target in parallel with its ongoing due diligence of Quanergy.

On July 24, 2020, CCAC management determined to submit two separate non-binding letters of intent (“LOIs”) to both Quanergy and the Additional Target, with the plan of agreeing on a merger between the two companies that would then combine with CCAC as a single platform.

On August 3, 2020, CCAC submitted the LOIs signed by CCAC to Quanergy and the Additional Target proposing a fully-diluted pre-money enterprise valuation of US$1 billion without specifying the relative value split between Quanergy and Additional Target. Following CCAC’s submission of such LOI, Quanergy introduced Raymond James, as Quanergy’s financial advisor, to Mr. Arif. Quanergy had engaged Raymond James in April 2019 as its financial advisor in connection with the Quanergy Board’s ongoing evaluation of financial and strategic opportunities as well as assessment of financing needs and technology road map in the ordinary course to enhance value for its stockholders.

From August 2020 until the execution of the non-binding letter of intent with CCAC in January 2021, the Quanergy Board and Quanergy’s management, with the assistance of Raymond James, considered and discussed potential business combination opportunities with strategic parties and special purpose acquisition companies. The factors that the Quanergy Board considered in identifying and evaluating a potential transaction with such third parties included, among others, the proposed timeline to execution of the transaction, complexity of the transaction that could pose execution risks, conditionality and deal certainty, cash available for Quanergy’s balance sheet, and the proposed valuation. Quanergy was able to obtain a proposal for a business combination from CCAC and two other special purpose acquisition companies, each of which is referred to as SPAC Prospect A and SPAC Prospect B.

On August 31, 2020, the Quanergy Board met, with Quanergy’s management and representatives of Raymond James present, to discuss the status of various strategic discussions. The Quanergy Board instructed the Quanergy’s management and Raymond James to continue to explore business combination opportunities including with special purpose acquisition companies.

On September 1, 2020, Mr. Kennedy provided Mr. Arif with an update on the technology advancement and recent progress of the OPA platform. Mr. Kennedy’s assessment was that testing and characterization process had yielded significant improvements in performance which were expected to continue. Mr. Kennedy also informed Mr. Arif that the Additional Target had decided to no longer engage with Quanergy in merger discussions at that time.

On September 4, 2020, the Quanergy management team presented to CCAC and their advisors, an updated investment case for Quanergy as a standalone opportunity based on the recent technological progress, particularly in the OPA platform as well as commercial progress in the IoT market, which would provide near term visibility and a “bridge” to the automotive market.

On September 22, 2020, Mr. Arif sent an updated draft LOI to Mr. Kennedy. The LOI valued Quanergy on a standalone basis at a fully-diluted pre-money enterprise valuation of US$550 million. The LOI also proposed that in connection with the potential transaction, CCAC would raise a PIPE of US$120 million, which was expected to include US$50 million from Quanergy’s existing shareholders. Subject to the ultimate size of the PIPE, as proposed in the LOI, Quanergy and its existing stockholders would own approximately 54.18% of the pro forma company after consummation of a transaction.

On September 25, 2020, the Quanergy Board met, with Quanergy’s management, Raymond James and Cooley LLP, Quanergy’s outside legal counsel (“Cooley”) present, and discussed the September 22 LOI and related considerations.

On October 3, 2020, Mr. Wang updated the CCAC Board on the status of the LOI and discussed the key terms of the LOI with the CCAC Board.

On October 12, 2020, Quanergy received a non-binding letter of intent for a business combination from SPAC Prospect A, with a proposed enterprise value of US$676 million; however, SPAC Prospect A subsequently withdrew from discussions to pursue an alternative business combination opportunity.

On November 1, 2020, following discussions with Quanergy’s management, Raymond James reached out to SPAC Prospect B to gauge its interest in pursuing a potential business combination with Quanergy.

On December 13, 2020, CCAC submitted a new draft LOI to Quanergy. The draft LOI contemplated a concurrent acquisition of Quanergy and another strategic party, with a combined pro forma enterprise value of approximately $1.3 billion (implying a pre-money enterprise value of approximately $1.2 billion) and a $100 million PIPE, without specifying the valuation split between Quanergy and the strategic party. However, discussions with such strategic party were abandoned due to disagreement on valuation, and CCAC and Quanergy focused on discussing a potential business combination on a standalone basis.

On December 17, 2020, Quanergy received a non-binding proposal from SPAC Prospect B. The proposal contemplated a concurrent acquisition of Quanergy and an additional strategic party, with a combined pre-money enterprise value of $1.2 billion without specifying the valuation split between Quanergy and the other strategic party.

On December 18, 2020, the Quanergy Board met with Quanergy’s management, Raymond James and Cooley present, and discussed the December 13 LOI by CCAC and December 17 LOI by SPAC Prospect B, including an overview of the structure of the proposed business combinations, the PIPE, the steps involved in the process of such transaction and related considerations. The Quanergy Board discussed, among others, concerns for pursuing a concurrent business combination with a special purpose acquisition company and another strategic party, including risk of leak, complexity of execution and uncertainty regarding valuation, pro forma ownership and synergies.

In December 2020 and January 2021, CCAC’s management team and the Quanergy management, undertook additional in-depth due diligence to further assess the Quanergy recent advancement in its technology platform as well as extensive and detailed market analysis. During such meetings, Mr. Kennedy communicated to Mr. Arif that Quanergy had received non-binding proposals from other special purpose acquisition companies regarding a business combination.

On January 8, 2021, Mr. Arif expressed to Mr. Kennedy CCAC’s renewed interest in pursuing a business combination with Quanergy on a standalone basis based on CCAC’s recent market studies and updated assessment of Quanergy’s advancement in technology platform based on its ongoing due diligence and CCAC’s views of the PIPE market in general.

On January 14, 2021, the Quanergy Board met, with Quanergy’s management and Raymond James present. Quanergy’s management presented an updated long term financial forecast to the Quanergy Board. Upon discussions with the Quanergy Board and finalization, such financial forecast was also made available to CCAC in April 2021. Such financial forecast is referred to as the "Initial Projections" as further described in the section entitled

"BCA Proposal — Certain Company Projected Financial Information"

beginning on page 163 of this proxy statement / prospectus. The update was driven by advancements with its OPA module (and resulting stronger prospects in the automotive sector), new work completed on the company’s TAM model in particular in the industrial and Smart City and Smart Spaces segments. A representative of Raymond James updated the Quanergy Board on recent strategic discussions including CCAC’s renewed interest to pursue a potential business combination with Quanergy on a standalone basis and continued interest from SPAC Prospect B.

On January 20, 2021, Mr. Arif sent a further updated LOI to Mr. Kennedy. The updated LOI valued Quanergy at a fully-diluted pre-money enterprise value of $985 million. The increase in valuation was mainly due to the following factors, among others: (i) the conclusions from the analysis undertaken by CCAC management in respect of the market, (ii) the rapid progress and evolution of the performance metrics of the OPA platform having occurred between the times of the two LOIs, leading to significant de-risking of the technology, (iii) the introduction by Quanergy of 10 new products for the IoT market in 2020 and (iv) growing interest in Quanergy from other SPAC prospects. The LOI also proposed that in connection with the potential transaction, CCAC would raise a PIPE Investment of US$100 million. Subject to the ultimate size of the PIPE Investment, as proposed in the LOI, Quanergy and its existing stockholders would own approximately 68% of

146

the pro forma combined company after consummation of a transaction. The LOI also contemplated a 30-day mutual exclusivity period, which could be subsequently extended.

On January 27, 2021, SPAC Prospect B submitted a further revised non-binding proposal for a business combination with a pre-money enterprise value of $1.0 billion on a standalone basis and no other strategic party involved.

On January 27, 2021, CCAC’s management and representatives of Credit Suisse discussed with certain Quanergy Board members and Quanergy’s management various aspects of the proposed business combination as described in CCAC’s January 2021 LOI.

On January 27, 2021 and January 28, 2021, the Quanergy Board met, with Quanergy’s management present, to discuss various aspects of the current proposals by each of CCAC and SPAC Prospect B. During such discussions, the Quanergy Board noted that, while the SPAC Prospect B’s proposal implied a slightly higher valuation for Quanergy, CCAC’s proposal would allow more cash runway through current cash in the trust account. The Quanergy Board also noted the substantial work that had been done by CCAC to date compared to SPAC Prospect B. Following those discussions, on January 28, 2021, the Quanergy Board authorized the Quanergy management to enter into the LOI and exclusivity and proceed with next steps, as appropriate.

Subsequently, parties executed a final non-binding LOI, dated as of January 26, 2021, contemplating a transaction with a fully-diluted pre-money enterprise valuation of $985 million and a target PIPE Investment of US$100 million. The LOI also provided for an initial mutual exclusivity period of thirty days, with an automatic extension of an additional forty-five days if definitive documents had not been executed by the relevant parties by such time. Mr. Wang updated the CCAC Board with respect to the terms of the LOI. Promptly upon execution of the LOI, CCSRF’s designee to the Quanergy Board, who had recused herself from discussions regarding a business combination between CCAC and Quanergy, resigned from the Quanergy Board on account of a potential conflict.

On January 29, 2021, Quanergy provided CCAC with a counter-signed LOI, signed by Mr. Kennedy. Mr. Wang of CCAC sent a copy of the fully executed LOI to CCAC’s legal counsel, White & Case. Promptly thereafter, CCSRF’s designee to the Quanergy Board resigned from the Quanergy Board.

On February 1, 2021, the CCAC Board, following discussions with its legal counsel, directed Mr. Arif to contact several advisors regarding obtaining a fairness opinion in connection with the potential business combination with Quanergy. Although the CCAC Board did not believe they were affiliated with Quanergy or an independent fairness opinion would be required pursuant to the terms of an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with CCAC’s initial public offering, upon advice of its legal counsel, CCAC determined that procuring such an opinion would be helpful in its evaluation of the transaction terms.

To the extent that any of the foregoing assumptions or any of the facts on which the Opinion is based prove to be untrue in any material respect to Duff & Phelps’ analysis, Duff & Phelps’ Opinion cannot and should not be relied upon. Furthermore, in Duff & Phelps’ analysis and in connection with the preparation of its Opinion, Duff & Phelps has made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, market and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of any party involved in the Business Combination.

Duff & Phelps prepared its Opinion effective as of the date thereof. Its Opinion was necessarily based upon market, economic, financial and other conditions as they existed and can be evaluated as of the date thereof, and Duff & Phelps disclaims any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting its Opinion which may come or be brought to the attention of Duff & Phelps after the date thereof. The credit, financial and stock markets have been experiencing unusual volatility and Duff & Phelps expressed no opinion or view as to any potential effects of such volatility on CCAC, Quanergy or the Business Combination.

Duff & Phelps did not evaluate CCAC or Quanergy’s solvency or conduct an independent appraisal or physical inspection of any specific assets or liabilities (contingent, derivative, off-balance sheet or otherwise). Duff & Phelps was not requested to, and did not, (i) initiate any discussions with, or solicit any indications of interest from, third parties with respect to the Business Combination, the assets, businesses or operations of Quanergy, or any alternatives to the Business Combination, (ii) negotiate the terms of the Business Combination, and therefore, Duff & Phelps has assumed that such terms are the most beneficial terms, from CCAC’s perspective, that could, under the circumstances, be negotiated among the parties to the Agreements and the Business Combination, or (iii) advise the CCAC Board or any other party with respect to alternatives to the Business Combination.

Duff & Phelps was not expressing any opinion as to the market price or value of CCAC’s common stock (or anything else) after the announcement or the consummation of the Business Combination. Duff & Phelps’ Opinion should not be construed as a valuation opinion, a credit rating, a solvency opinion, an analysis of CCAC or Quanergy’s credit worthiness, as legal, tax or accounting advice. Duff & Phelps did not make, and assumed no responsibility to make, any representation, or render any opinion, as to any legal, tax or regulatory matter.

In rendering its Opinion, Duff & Phelps was not expressing any opinion with respect to the amount or nature of any compensation to any of CCAC’s officers, directors, or employees, or any class of such persons, relative to the consideration to be paid by CCAC in the Business Combination, or with respect to the fairness of any such compensation. Duff & Phelps was also not expressing any opinion with respect to the fairness of the consideration paid by the Sponsor in connection with the shares of CCAC’s common stock granted to the Sponsor.

Duff & Phelps’ Opinion was furnished solely for the use and benefit of the CCAC Board in connection with its consideration of the Business Combination and is not intended to, and does not, confer any rights or remedies upon any other person, and is not intended to be used, and may not be used, by any other person or for any other purpose, without Duff & Phelps’ express consent. Duff & Phelps has consented to the inclusion of the Opinion in its entirety and the description hereof in this registration statement and any other filing CCAC is required to make with the SEC in connection with the Business Combination if such inclusion is required by the applicable law. The Opinion (i) did not address the merits of the underlying business decision to enter into the Business Combination versus any alternative strategy or transaction; (ii) did not address any transaction related to the

153

Table of Contents

Business Combination; (iii) was not a recommendation as to how the CCAC Board or any stockholder should vote or act with respect to any matters relating to the Business Combination, or whether to proceed with the Business Combination or any related transaction, and (iv) did not indicate that the consideration paid is the best possibly attainable under any circumstances; instead, it merely states whether the consideration in the Business Combination is within a range suggested by certain financial analyses. The decision as to whether to proceed with the Business Combination or any related transaction may depend on an assessment of factors unrelated to the financial analysis on which the Opinion is based. Duff & Phelps’ Opinion should not be construed as creating any fiduciary duty on the part of Duff & Phelps to any party.

Set forth below is a summary of the material analyses performed by Duff & Phelps in connection with the delivery of its Opinion to the CCAC Board. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Opinion, attached hereto as. While this summary describes the analyses and factors that Duff & Phelps deemed material in its presentation to the CCAC Board, it is not a comprehensive description of all analyses and factors considered by Duff & Phelps. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process that involves various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of these methods to the particular circumstances. Therefore, a fairness opinion is not readily susceptible to partial analysis. In arriving at its Opinion, Duff & Phelps did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor considered by it, but rather made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. Accordingly, Duff & Phelps believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and of the factors considered by it in rendering the Opinion without considering all analyses and factors could create a misleading or incomplete view of the evaluation process underlying its Opinion. The conclusion reached by Duff & Phelps was based on all analyses and factors taken as a whole, and also on the application of Duff & Phelps’ own experience and judgment.

The financial analyses summarized below include information presented in tabular format. In order for Duff & Phelps’ financial analyses to be fully understood, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses. Considering the data below without considering the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of Duff & Phelps’ financial analyses.

Valuation Methodologies

Income Approach (Discounted Cash Flow Analysis)

The Income Approach (“Income Approach”) is a valuation technique that provides an estimation of the fair market value of an asset (or business) based on the cash flows that an asset (or business) can be expected to generate over its remaining useful life. The Income Approach begins with an estimation of the annual cash flows a market participant would expect the subject asset (or business) to generate over a discrete projection period. The estimated cash flows for each of the years in the discrete projection period are then converted to their present value equivalents using a rate of return appropriate for the risk of achieving the projected cash flows. The present value of the estimated cash flows are then added to the present value equivalent of the residual/terminal value of the asset (if any) or the business at the end of the discrete projection period to arrive at an estimate of fair market value.

For business valuations, the Income Approach is typically applied through a Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) analysis. Under the DCF analysis, the valuation is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows for the expected life of the asset (or business) discounted at a rate of return that considers the relative risk of achieving those cash flows and the time value of money.

Market Approach (Selected Public Companies / SPAC Transactions Analysis)

The Market Approach is a valuation technique that provides an estimation of fair market value based on market prices in actual transactions and on asking prices for assets (or businesses). The valuation process is a

154

Table of Contents

comparison and correlation between the subject asset (or business) and other similar assets (or businesses). Considerations such as time and condition of sale and terms of agreements are analyzed for comparable assets and are adjusted to arrive at an estimation of the fair market value of the subject asset.

Due to limited recent relevant non-SPAC / traditional M&A transactions, Duff & Phelps relied on the selected public companies and SPAC transactions in the Market Approach.

Valuation Methodologies Utilized

In applying the Income Approach, Duff & Phelps relied on the Initial Projections, as prepared by Quanergy’s management and reviewed and provided by CCAC’s management, as a basis for the DCF analysis.

Duff & Phelps utilized the Market Approach (Selected Public Companies / SPAC Transactions Analysis) to select multiples to Quanergy’s estimated 2024 and 2025 revenue figures, and to select a terminal multiple for the DCF analysis. Duff & Phelps reviewed the selected public companies’ valuation multiples and certain SPAC transactions when selecting its multiples. In making this selection, Duff & Phelps considered Quanergy’s size, growth outlook, capital requirements, profit margins, and other characteristics relative to the selected public companies and certain SPAC transactions.

Income Approach (Discounted Cash Flow Analysis) Summary

Duff & Phelps performed a discounted cash flow analysis of the estimated future unlevered free cash flows attributable to Quanergy for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2021 through December 31, 2025, with unlevered “free cash flow” defined as cash that is available either to reinvest or to distribute to security holders. The discounted cash flow analysis was used to determine the net present value of estimated future free cash flows utilizing a venture rate of return for a company in the “start-up” or “early-stage” phase as the applicable discount rate. For the purposes of its discounted cash flow analysis, per discussions with CCAC’s management, Duff & Phelps utilized and relied upon the Initial Projections, which are described in this registration statement in the section of this proxy statement / prospectus entitled “

Projected Financial Information

.”

For the DCF analysis, Duff & Phelps used the following unlevered free cash flows, which included adjustments to the Initial Projections, which are described in the section of this proxy statement / prospectus entitled “

Projected Financial Information”,

for stock-based compensation and other de minimis items including depreciation and working capital

2021	2022	2023	2024	2025
($33)	($40)	($28)	($1)	$69

Duff & Phelps estimated the net present value of all cash flows attributable to Quanergy after fiscal year 2025 (the “Terminal Value”) using a terminal earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiple range of 22.5x to 27.5x. Duff & Phelps reviewed selected public companies and SPAC transactions that it deemed relevant to its analysis to select the terminal EBITDA multiple range (as described in further detail in the Market Approach section below). Duff & Phelps used discount rates ranging from 30.0% to 35.0%, reflecting Duff & Phelps’ estimate of the expected return required for an investment in Quanergy, to discount the projected free cash flows and the Terminal Value. Duff & Phelps considered a number of factors in determining the discount rate range. Duff & Phelps considered Quanergy to be a “start-up” / “early-stage” venture as Quanergy has significant operational / technological risks. Determination of an appropriate discount rate requires a certain degree of judgment. Duff & Phelps considered a number of factors in determining the discount rate, including: (1) Quanergy’s stage in the cycle of management’s business plan, (2) Quanergy’s projected financial performance and growth, and (3) the risks facing Quanergy in order to achieve the projected results, including technology risk, execution risk, and competitive risks, among others. Duff & Phelps believes that this range of discount rates is consistent with the rate of return that security holders could expect to realize on alternative investment opportunities with similar risk profiles.

Based on these assumptions, Duff & Phelps’ discounted cash flow analysis resulted in an estimated enterprise value range for Quanergy of $1.013 billion to $1.491 billion.

Market Approach (Selected Public Companies / SPAC Transactions Analyses) Summary

Duff & Phelps analyzed selected public companies and selected SPAC transactions for purposes of estimating valuation multiples with which to select (i) multiples to apply to Quanergy’s estimated 2024 and 2025 revenue figures and (ii) a terminal EBITDA multiple range for Quanergy to utilize in the DCF analysis. Due to limited recent relevant non-SPAC / traditional merger and acquisition transactions, Duff & Phelps relied on the selected public companies and SPAC transactions in the Market Approach. This collective analysis was based on publicly available information and is described in more detail in the sections that follow.

The companies utilized for comparative purposes in the following analysis were not directly comparable to Quanergy, and the SPAC transactions utilized for comparative purposes in the following analysis were not directly comparable to the Business Combination. Duff & Phelps does not have access to non-public information of any of the companies used for comparative purposes. Accordingly, a complete valuation analysis of Quanergy and the Business Combination cannot rely solely upon a quantitative review of the selected public companies and selected transactions, but involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of such companies and targets, as well as other factors that could affect their value relative to that of Quanergy. Therefore, the selected public companies and selected SPAC transactions analysis is subject to certain limitations.

Selected Public Companies Analysis

. Duff & Phelps compared certain financial information of Quanergy to corresponding data and ratios from publicly traded companies that were deemed relevant to its analysis, including (i) LiDAR technology focused companies, (ii) silicon photonics, disruptive auto technology, vision-based, computing platform, and tier-1 auto supplier companies, and (iii) other mobility technology companies. For purposes of its analysis, Duff & Phelps used certain publicly available historical financial data and consensus

equity analyst estimates for the selected publicly traded companies. The 24 companies included in the selected public company analysis were:

Selected SPAC Transactions Analysis

. Duff & Phelps researched selected SPAC transactions involving companies with businesses involved in comparable aspects of the electric vehicle infrastructure value chain that Duff & Phelps deemed relevant to its analysis. Duff & Phelps compared Quanergy to the selected SPAC transactions listed in the tables below. Multiples of 2021 and 2022 EBITDA and revenues were not meaningful for the SPAC transactions given the start-up nature of the target companies. The selection of these transactions was based on, among other things, the target company’s industry, the relative size of the transaction compared to the Business Combination and the availability of public information related to the transaction.

Summary of Selected Public Companies / SPAC Transactions Analyses

In order to estimate a multiple range for Quanergy, Duff & Phelps took into consideration projected financial performance metrics of Quanergy relative to such metrics of the selected public companies and selected SPAC transactions. Duff & Phelps then analyzed the selected public companies’ trading multiples of enterprise value to their projected revenue and EBITDA.

Rather than applying the average or median multiple from these analyses, Duff & Phelps selected multiples that, in its judgement, reflected Quanergy’s size, growth outlook, capital requirements, profit margins, revenue mix, and other characteristics relative to the selected public companies and SPAC transactions. Based on these analyses, Duff & Phelps’ selected (i) a revenue multiple range of 3.50x to 5.50x to apply to Quanergy’s 2024 estimated revenue and 2.00x to 3.00x to apply to Quanergy’s 2025 estimated revenue, and (ii) a terminal EBITDA multiple range of 22.5x to 27.5x which was utilized in the DCF analysis to estimate the enterprise value range of Quanergy.

161

Table of Contents

Based on these assumptions, Duff & Phelps’ selected public companies and SPAC transactions analyses resulted in an estimated enterprise value range for Quanergy of $995.200 million to $1.525 billion.

Summary of Financial Analysis

Duff & Phelps noted that the consideration to be paid by CCAC in the Business Combination was within the concluded enterprise value range of Quanergy of $1.004 billion to $1.508 billion, which is based on the average of the indications from the Income Approach and the Market Approach. Duff & Phelps reviewed the Current Projections and confirmed they would not have a material impact on its analysis vis-à-vis the Initial Projections or change its Opinion.

Duff & Phelps’ Opinion was only one of the many factors considered by the CCAC Board in its evaluation of the Business Combination and should not be viewed as determinative of the views of the CCAC Board.

Fees and Expenses

As compensation for Duff & Phelps’ services in connection with the rendering of its Opinion to the CCAC Board, CCAC agreed to pay Duff & Phelps a fee of $550,000, earned upon the delivery by Duff & Phelps of the Opinion to the CCAC Board and payable upon consummation of CCAC’s Business Combination.

No portion of Duff & Phelps’ fee is refundable or contingent upon the conclusion reached in the Opinion.

Furthermore, Duff & Phelps is entitled to be paid additional fees at Duff & Phelps’ standard hourly rates for any time incurred should Duff & Phelps be called upon to support its findings subsequent to the delivery of its opinion, which additional fees will only become payable upon consummation of the Business Combination. CCAC has also agreed to reimburse Duff & Phelps for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel retained by Duff & Phelps in connection with the engagement. CCAC has also agreed to indemnify Duff & Phelps for certain liabilities arising out of its engagement.

The terms of the fee arrangements with Duff & Phelps, which CCAC believes are customary in transactions of this nature, were negotiated at arm’s length, and the CCAC Board are aware of these fee arrangements.

Disclosure of Prior Relationships

During the two years preceding the date of Duff & Phelps’ Opinion, Duff & Phelps has not had any material relationship with any party to the Business Combination for which compensation has been received or is intended to be received, nor is any such material relationship or related compensation mutually understood to be contemplated.

CCAC Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

Before reaching its decision on June 21, 2021, the CCAC Board consulted with its management team, legal counsel and other advisors. The CCAC Board considered a number and wide variety of factors in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination in reaching its determination and supporting its decision. Among those factors, the CCAC Board reviewed the results of due diligence conducted by CCAC’s management, which included:

•

public research on the LiDAR industry and its prospects, a review of Quanergy’s historical financial performance and forecasts including revenues, cost of goods sold, operating costs, EBITDA, capital expenditures, cash flow and other relevant financial and operating metrics;

162

Table of Contents

•

extensive conference call meetings with Quanergy’s management team and representatives regarding operations, company products and services, intellectual property, key customers, suppliers, end market industries, strategic partners, total available market for each industry and growth prospects, among other customary due diligence matters;

•

review of Quanergy’s material business contracts, corporate books and records, government regulations and filings, intellectual property and information technology and certain other legal and environmental due diligence;

•

calls with select Quanergy customers;

•

financial and accounting due diligence; and

•

creation of an independent financial model, which was generally consistent with the financial model prepared by Quanergy.

The CCAC Board considered a wide variety of factors in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination. In light of the complexity of those factors, the CCAC Board did not consider it practicable to, nor did it attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it took into account in reaching its decision. Different individual members of the CCAC Board may have given different weight to different factors in their evaluation of the Business Combination.

In the prospectus for CCAC’s initial public offering, CCAC identified the following general criteria and guidelines that it believed would be important in evaluating prospective target businesses, although CCAC also indicated it may enter into a business combination with a target business that does not meet these criteria and guidelines. The CCAC Board considered these factors in its evaluation of Quanergy.

Focus on targets with operations or prospects in the energy efficiency, clean technology and sustainability sectors.

CCAC intended to pursue companies in the energy efficiency, clean technology and sustainability sectors, as it believes it will have increased access to investment opportunities and a competitive advantage in its ability to negotiate an initial business combination with potential targets in such sectors.

CCAC has conducted extensive due diligence in evaluating prospective target businesses. Based on its review of Quanergy and its understanding of the automotive-technology industry, in particular, the LiDAR industry, which is at the cutting edge of innovation in mobility sector, CCAC believes that Quanergy meets CCAC’s stringent investment criteria, which focuses on New Mobility, Energy Efficiency and other Sustainability themed investments. Quanergy brings advanced technological capabilities, mass market scalability and a potentially transformative impact to the U.S., Asia and global markets. Advancements in LiDAR technology and mobility are aimed at improving efficiency in the automotive and industrial sectors, which may ultimately lead to a reduction in the carbon footprint of such sectors, as well as increased safety.

Established targets with strong existing trade links with China or other Asian markets.

CCAC intended to target one or more businesses that have significant synergies with the Chinese or other Asian markets. Quanergy has established international operations in Asia with subsidiaries located in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China, Shanghai, Japan and Dubai, with a substantial portion of its business activities already located in China.

Targets with unique and disruptive technologies and products.

163

Table of Contents

game-changer for the automotive industry as it is the solid-state technology best suited to scale for the automotive market. Quanergy is the only major LiDAR provider to harness the potential of OPA, and with existing commercial products available today. In addition, IoT markets present significant and immediate revenue growth opportunities. Furthermore, Quanergy’s products have already been successfully applied to markets in Asia, and with meaningful future growth prospects given the size of Asia’s automotive and industrial sectors.

Fundamentally sound companies with the potential to further improve under CCAC’s ownership.

CCAC believes its management team’s experience in its target sectors and network of industry contacts provides the potential to generate opportunities to enhance the financial and operational efficiencies of the target business, and potentially offer an attractive return for its shareholders.

Experienced and visionary management team.

CCAC intended to seek targets with an established management team that it can complement by selectively supplementing the business’s existing management team (including senior management) with members of its management team or with proven leaders from its network to enhance shareholder value.

Benefit from capital markets access.

CCAC intended to seek a target that would benefit from being a public company with an increased public profile, enhanced governance and increased access to a more diversified pool of capital.

Quanergy satisfies this criteria in that Quanergy will not only be able to take advantage of the estimated cash to balance sheet of up to approximately $316 million post-Business Combination, which assumes that no CCAC Class A ordinary shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, but Quanergy will have increased access to capital to pursue revenue growth opportunities sooner than contemplated and/or merger and acquisition related activities.

Aside from the alignment of the Quanergy opportunity with CCAC’s desired investment criteria noted in the prospectus to its initial public offering, CCAC identified several other positive factors of this transaction, including:

PIPE commitment.

The PIPE Investors have committed to purchase $40 million in Quanergy PubCo common stock at $10.00 per share. This shows support for the Business Combination and reduces the minimum required cash from the trust account.

Seller’s retained interest.

Quanergy’s existing shareholders are rolling 100% of their equity and will own approximately 72% stake in the pro forma company which shows an ongoing equity commitment.

Growth opportunities.

The expected proceeds raised in the proposed Business Combination and related transactions are expected to be used to further advance Quanergy’s growth strategy, including accelerating research and development, funding working capital, paying down all debt and establishing a currency for

164

Table of Contents

potential future acquisitions. CCAC believes that Quanergy would benefit from the capital infusion to recapitalize existing financial obligations, provide growth capital and provide necessary working capital in case of short-term financial distress.

Fairness opinion.

The CCAC Board believes that the consideration to be paid by CCAC to the stockholders of Quanergy in the Business Combination, from a financial point of view, is fair. Such belief is based on the factors discussed under the section entitled “

BCA Proposal—Opinion of Duff & Phelps, the CCAC Board’s Financial Advisor

” beginning on page 147 of this proxy statement / prospectus.

The CCAC Board also gave consideration to certain negative factors (which are described in the section entitled “

Risk Factors

” of this proxy statement / prospectus, although not weighted or in any order of significance) and unanimously approved the Business Combination.

Interests of CCAC’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination

In considering the recommendation of the CCAC Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination, it should be noted that CCAC’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder. These interests include, among other things:

•

Based on the average of the high and low prices of the Class A ordinary shares and public warrants of CCAC on the NYSE on September 20, 2021, the Sponsor and its affiliates held 6,002,500 founder shares and 7,520,000 Private Warrants, which has an approximate value of US$63,981,263; Mr. Arif held 862,500 founder shares and 940,000 Private Warrants, which has an approximate value of US$9,113,363; Mr. Haghighat held 22,000 Private Warrants, which has an approximate value of US$12,540; and Mr. Segall held 13,000 Private Warrants, which has an approximate value of US$7,410. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans. Except as described the preceding sentence, there are no outstanding loans or material fee or reimbursement arrangements among CCAC, the Sponsor, its affiliates, or the CCAC directors or officers.

subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and its board of directors, liquidating and dissolving, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the 6,900,000 CCAC Class B ordinary shares owned by the Sponsor, its affiliates and the directors of CCAC would be worthless because following the redemption of the public shares, CCAC would likely have few, if any, net assets. Additionally, in such event, the 7,520,000 private placement warrants purchased by the Sponsor simultaneously with the consummation of CCAC’s initial public offering for an aggregate purchase price of $7,520,000 will expire worthless.

•

CCAC’s directors, Mr. Arif, Mr. Ross Haghighat and Mr. Mark Segall, also have a direct or indirect economic interest in such private placement warrants and/or in the 6,900,000 CCAC Class B ordinary shares owned by the Sponsor or its affiliates. The 6,900,000 shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock into which the 6,900,000 CCAC Class B ordinary shares held by the Sponsor will automatically convert in connection with the Merger (including after giving effect to the Domestication), if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of $ million based upon the closing price of $ per public share on the NYSE on 2021, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement / prospectus. However, given that such shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock will be subject to certain restrictions, including those described elsewhere in this proxy statement / prospectus, CCAC believes such shares have less value. The 7,520,000 Quanergy PubCo warrants into which the 7,520,000 private placement warrants held by the Sponsor will automatically convert in connection with the Merger (including after giving effect to the Domestication), if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of $ million based upon the closing price of $ per public warrant on the NYSE on , the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement / prospectus.

•

Pursuant to that certain letter agreement, dated as of February 10, 2020, by and among the CCAC and the Sponsor, in connection with CCAC’s initial public offering, the Sponsor and other signatories (each of whom is a member of the CCAC Board and/or management team) is subject to certain restrictions on transfer with respect to: (i) the Founder Shares (as defined in such letter agreement); and (ii) private placement warrants (as defined in such letter agreement). Such restrictions on the Founder Shares end on the date that is one year after Closing, or are subject to an early price-based release if: (a) the price of the shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share for any twenty trading days within any thirty-day trading period at least 150 days after the Business Combination, or (b) CCAC completes a transaction that results in public shareholders having the right to exchange the CCAC Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. The restrictions on the private placement warrants end on 30 days after the completion of a business combination.

Affiliates of our Sponsor and our directors own equity interests in Quanergy as of the date of this proxy statement / prospectus. On April 5, 2017 and May 5, 2017, Tharsis Funds, affiliates of Mr. Arif, Tharsis Capital, acquired an aggregate of 246,250 common shares from certain shareholders in Quanergy, representing approximately 1.79% of the fully diluted share capital of Quanergy as of May 5, 2017. On October 17, 2018, (i) CCSRF, an affiliate of Mr. Fanglu Wang and Mr. Eric Chan, CCSRF Vision (Cayman) Investment Limited, acquired 82,372 shares of Quanergy on an as-converted and as-exercised basis, representing approximately 0.58% of the fully diluted share capital of Quanergy, and (ii) affiliates of Mr. Arif, Tharsis Capital, acquired 16,968 additional shares of Quanergy on an as-converted and as-exercised basis, which, taken in total with the previous acquisition of shares, represented approximately 1.86% of the fully diluted share capital of Quanergy Between January 1, 2019 and July 1, 2020, CCSRF acquired additional equity securities from certain existing holders of shares of Series C preferred stock, which, taken in total with the previous acquisition of equity, represented approximately 0.94% of the fully diluted share capital of Quanergy, and Tharsis Funds acquired additional equity securities from certain existing holders of shares of Series C preferred stock, which, taken in total with the previous acquisition of equity, represented approximately 1.91% of the fully diluted share capital of Quanergy, in each case, as of July 1, 2020. Immediately following the Closing, CCSRF and Tharsis Funds are expected to receive approximately 1,954,961 and 1,359,083 Quanergy PubCo shares, respectively, on an as-converted and as-exercised basis based on Quanergy’s capitalization on June 8, 2021.

•

CCAC’s Sponsor, officers and directors and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them related to identifying, investigating, negotiating and completing an initial business combination, including repayment of any other loans and advances made. However, if CCAC fails to consummate a business combination by February 13, 2022, they will not have any claim against the trust account for reimbursement. Accordingly, CCAC may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination or another business combination is not completed by such date.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Sponsor, certain of its respective affiliates and certain stockholders of Quanergy will have customary registration rights, including demand and piggy-back rights, subject to cooperation and cut-back provisions with respect to the shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock and warrants held by such parties following the consummation of the Business Combination.

Certain Company Projected Financial Information

Quanergy does not, as a matter of general practice, publicly disclose long-term forecasts or internal projections of its future performance, revenues, earnings, financial condition or other results due to, among other reasons, the uncertainty of the underlying assumptions and estimates. However, in connection with its consideration of the potential business combination, the prospective financial information for fiscal years 2021 through 2025, each ended December 31, prepared by Quanergy’s management team (the “Initial Projections”), was provided to the CCAC Board and approved for use and reliance by Duff & Phelps for purposes of its financial analyses in connection with its opinion as described elsewhere in this proxy statement / prospectus. Quanergy’s management team prepared the Initial Projections as of April 6, 2021.

Updated projections (the “Current Projections” and, together with the Initial Projections, the “Projections”) are included in this proxy statement / prospectus and the CCAC Board has reviewed and discussed the Projections. The Projections should not be viewed as public guidance. Furthermore, the Projections do not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the date on which the Current Projections were prepared, which was September 17, 2021.

The Projections were prepared solely for internal use and not with a view toward public disclosure or toward complying with GAAP, the published guidelines of the SEC regarding projections or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information. The Projections included in this document have been prepared by, and are the responsibility of, Quanergy’s management team. The Projections were prepared in good faith by Quanergy’s management team based on its reasonable best estimates and assumptions with respect to the expected future financial performance of Quanergy at the time the Projections were prepared and speak only as of that time.

Neither the independent registered public accounting firms of Quanergy, nor CCAC or any other independent accountants, have audited, reviewed, examined, compiled nor applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to the accompanying prospective financial information and, accordingly, nor have they expressed an opinion on such information or their achievability or any other form of assurance with respect thereto, and the independent accounting firms of Quanergy and CCAC assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the Projections. The audit report in respect of Quanergy’s historic financial statements does not extend to the Projections and should not be read to do so. Furthermore, the Projections do not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the date they were prepared. Nonetheless, a summary of the Projections is provided in this proxy statement / prospectus because the Projections were made available to CCAC. The inclusion of the Projections in this proxy statement / prospectus should not be regarded as an indication that Quanergy, the Quanergy Board, CCAC, the CCAC Board, or their respective affiliates, advisors or other representatives considered, or now considers, such Projections necessarily to be predictive of actual future results or to support or fail to support your decision whether to vote for or against the BCA Proposal. No person has made or makes any representation or warranty to CCAC or any CCAC shareholder regarding the information included in these Projections. The Projections are not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results, and readers of this proxy statement / prospectus are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information. The Projections should not be viewed as public guidance.

168

Table of Contents

Quanergy’s management team prepared the Initial Projections as of April 6, 2021 and prepared the Current Projections as of September 17, 2021. In connection with the preparation of the Projections, Quanergy’s management team considered various material assumptions, including, but not limited to, the following:

•

a closing date of the Business Combination of October 1, 2021 for the Initial Projections, and October 31, 2021 for the Current Projections, and related funding for the execution of Quanergy’s growth strategy;

•

anticipated market penetration in two distinct target markets: IoT, which Quanergy defines as including mapping, security, smart spaces and industrial automation, and automotive;

•

timing of the acquisition of new key customers and unit demand;

•

anticipated market growth opportunities for LiDAR in the IoT and automotive markets over the next 10 years;

•

anticipated software attach rates for Quanergy’s flow management solutions;

•

anticipated benefits of OPA technology compared to other LiDAR technologies, including cost, reliability, performance and adaptive zoom capability;

•

projected ability to produce at scale for the automotive market by 2025;

•

expected declining cost of goods sold with volume production for the automotive LiDAR market;

•

increasing gross profit margin percentage despite projected declines in average selling prices;

•

projected customer conversion rates among various stages of evaluation and commercial production; and

•

expected hiring plans across the company and expected operating expenses.

The Projections also assume the consummation of the Business Combination. Quanergy’s ability to achieve the targets set out below will depend upon a number of factors outside its control. Such factors are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the preparing parties’ control, including, among other things, the matters described in the sections entitled “

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

” and “

Risk Factors

”. These include significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, as well as actions taken by counterparties. While presented with numerical specificity, the Projections are forward- looking and reflect numerous estimates and assumptions with respect to future business decisions and conditions that are subject to change, including, but not limited to, future industry performance under various industry scenarios as well as assumptions for competition, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and matters specific to the business of Quanergy, including Quanergy’s execution of its strategies and product development, as well as growth in the markets in which it operates.

The Company’s revenue projections are based on a blend of two methodologies. The first methodology is a

bottoms-up,

pipeline driven analysis based on individual opportunities identified by the Quanergy sales force and assessed by management to help estimate near- and medium-term revenue trends. For the Current Projections, the Company calculated gross pipeline opportunities of $25 million, $95 million and $122 million for 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively. The second methodology is a top-down market driven analysis based on estimates of the total addressable market for LiDAR solutions, adoption rates of LiDAR technology in both established and emerging market segments and Quanergy market share, to help estimate medium- and long-term revenue trends. The Company’s 2025 revenue forecast based on the Current Projections represents less than 5% penetration of the estimated 2025 total addressable market for LiDAR solutions. The Company’s market driven analysis is based on a combination of third-party research and Company analysis.

The gross margin expansion included in the Company’s Current Projections assumes that variable product costs reduce more rapidly than average selling prices given greater purchasing power of components,

169

Table of Contents

advancements in product design optimization and greater utilization of

low-cost

contract manufacturers. In addition, the Current Projections assume increasing leverage over more fixed manufacturing overhead costs, including labor, as revenue scales.

The Company’s operating expense projections reflect planned investments to support Quanergy’s revenue growth and transition to becoming a publicly listed company. Growth in research and development expenses are based largely on planned headcount additions and increases in ASIC and wafer development costs related primarily to the Company’s solid-state LiDAR development plans. Sales and marketing expenditures are expected to grow with revenue while also reflecting enhancements in sales force productivity. Increases in general and administrative expenses reflect both additional headcount and costs associated with becoming a public company, including director and officer liability insurance, additional legal and accounting expenses and information technology enhancements. Projected operating expenses also include assumed growth in the depreciation of capital expenditures required to support the Company’s expansion plans.

Update to the Projections between the date of the Initial Projections and the Current Projections:

Quanergy management regularly assesses its business outlook and financial forecasts based on the most accurate and current information available. Since the Initial Projections were finalized on April 6, 2021, the Company has identified several factors that are likely to impact the Company’s near- to

mid-term

outlook. The Company’s Current Projections, dated September 17, 2021, reflect the following primary factors:

•

Prolonged impact of

COVID-19

. The Company previously expected the effects of the

COVID-19

pandemic to abate by the middle of 2021. With the emergence of the Delta variant, it now seems likely that pandemic effects will persist into 2022. The effects of

COVID-19

most acutely impact the timing of sales of the Company’s flow management solutions that are deployed in airports and other public spaces, where

in-person

proof of concepts and deployments have been more difficult to facilitate given pandemic-driven protocols.

•

Supply chain constraints

. Our business has begun feeling the effects of supply challenges that are now common across the technology industry. These supply chain issues have extended lead times for parts procurement, created the need for redesign work for new product introductions where parts are no longer available and created production challenges for our solid state people counting device. However, these issues do not impact the technical progress being made on advancing the range and capability of our OPA-based sensor in general or the multi-beam units that will be demonstrated for industrial and automotive markets.

•

Adjustments to operating expenses

. The Company has modestly decreased its operating expense assumptions for 2021 while modestly increasing its operating expense assumptions for 2022 and 2023. The changes to 2021 reflect slower than expected headcount additions in engineering given constraints in the hiring market. The changes to 2022 and 2023 reflect higher public company cost assumptions and additional planned hires of sales personnel.

Quanergy believes the revenue-related factors described above are exogenous to the Company. Management has identified the deals impacted by COVID-19 that are now expected to shift from 2021 and instead be recognized as revenue in 2022. Management expects the Company’s supply chain challenges to be resolved through deliberate Company actions, with gradual improvements through 2021 and into 2022. There has been no change to the Company’s long-term outlook, and the Company’s OPA development plans remain on track. For example, in early August, Quanergy announced the industry’s first demonstration of an OPA-based solid state LiDAR with 100-meter range achieved in full daylight.

(1)	Gross profit, gross margin and operating expenses have been adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense and are therefore non-GAAP financial measures.

(2)

Adjusted EBITDA is a

non-GAAP

financial measure and is defined as net loss before depreciation and amortization, provision for income taxes, interest expense (net),

non-cash

gain or loss on debt transactions, restructuring costs, stock-based compensation and change in fair value of derivative liabilities.

(3)	Adjusted EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

(4)	Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as cash flow from operations minus capital expenditures.

Quanergy estimates that its revenues will grow from 2021 to 2025 at a compound annual growth rate of 251%. Quanergy also forecasts that positive adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow will be achieved for the full year of 2024 (unchanged from the Initial Projections).

The Company’s revenue forecasts are based on management’s assessment of the likelihood of future design wins and revenue after engagement with existing and potential customers, taking into account the expected mix, volume and average selling price of product sales in future years. Quanergy’s management projects that revenue growth in 2022 and 2023 will be driven primarily by mapping, security and smart spaces applications, with industrial automation revenue expected to scale in 2023, driven by new sensors tailored for this market. Quanergy management expects the automotive market to drive longer-term growth as the market develops and the Company’s

S3-X

sensor is further refined and its production cost is reduced. Management incorporated these assumptions about the expected mix, volume, and average selling price of product sales in developing the Company’s forecast of adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow. Quanergy’s forecasts also reflects anticipated reductions in production costs based on scale and leverage over more fixed overhead costs, resulting in expected gross margin expansion over the forecast period. Based on forecasted revenue growth, gross margin expansion and leverage over operating expenses, Quanergy expects to generate positive adjusted EBITDA for the full years of 2024 and 2025.

Quanergy’s actual results may vary from the Projections set out above, and those variations may be material. Since the projections cover multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less predictive with each successive year. These financial projections are subjective in many respects, and present one outcome of the combined company’s projected revenues based on the specific set of assumptions and estimates, including those identified herein, and thus are susceptible to multiple interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments, including and taking into account that Quanergy has not warranted the accuracy, reliability, appropriateness or completeness of the Projections to anyone, including CCAC. Neither Quanergy’s management nor any of its respective representatives has made or makes any representations to any person regarding the ultimate performance of Quanergy relative to the Projections. The Projections are not fact nor a guarantee of actual future performance. The future financial results of Quanergy may differ materially from

171

Table of Contents

those reflected in the Projections due to factors beyond Quanergy’s or CCAC’s ability to control or predict. Inclusion of the Projections in this proxy statement / prospectus should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the Projections will be achieved.

The Projections are not included in this proxy statement / prospectus in order to induce any CCAC shareholders to vote in favor of any of the proposals at the special meeting.

CCAC encourages you to review the financial statements of Quanergy included in this proxy statement / prospectus, as well as the financial information in the section entitled

“Selected Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

” in this proxy statement / prospectus and to not rely on any single financial measure.

Quanergy uses certain financial measures in the Projections that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP as supplemental measures to evaluate operational performance. While Quanergy believes that

non-GAAP

financial measures provide useful supplemental information, there are limitations associated with the use of

non-GAAP

financial measures.

Non-GAAP

financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, are not reported by all of Quanergy’s competitors and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of its competitors.

Non-GAAP

financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Financial measures included in the Projections provided to a board of directors or financial advisor in connection with a business combination transaction are excluded from the definition of

“non-GAAP

financial measures” under the rules of the SEC, and therefore the Projections are not subject to SEC rules regarding disclosures of

non-GAAP

financial measures, which would otherwise require a reconciliation of a

non-GAAP

financial measure to a GAAP financial measure. Reconciliations of

non-GAAP

financial measures were not relied upon by Duff & Phelps for purposes of its financial analyses and opinions or by the CCAC Board in connection with its consideration of the transaction. Accordingly, no reconciliation of the financial measures included in the Projections were prepared, and therefore none have been provided in this proxy statement / prospectus.

STATEMENT / PROSPECTUS

EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS, BY INCLUDING IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT / PROSPECTUS A SUMMARY OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS, NONE OF CCAC, QUANERGY OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES OR AFFILIATES UNDERTAKES ANY OBLIGATION TO, AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY TO, UPDATE OR REVISE, OR PUBLICLY DISCLOSE ANY UPDATE OR REVISION TO, THESE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS TO REFLECT CIRCUMSTANCES OR EVENTS, INCLUDING UNANTICIPATED EVENTS, THAT MAY HAVE OCCURRED OR THAT MAY OCCUR AFTER THE PREPARATION OF THESE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS AND THEIR PRESENTATION TO THE CCAC BOARD, EVEN IN THE EVENT THAT ANY OR ALL OF THE ASSUMPTIONS UNDERLYING THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS ARE SHOWN TO BE IN ERROR OR CHANGE.

Satisfaction of 80% Test

NYSE rules require that CCAC must consummate an initial business combination with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the trust account (excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount held in trust) at the time of CCAC’s signing a definitive agreement in connection with its initial business combination. Based on the fully-diluted pre-money equity valuation of $970 million for Quanergy compared to the approximately $278 million in the trust account, the fact that the purchase price for Quanergy was the result of an arm’s length negotiation and all of the factors described in this section and the section of this proxy statement / prospectus entitled “

BCA Proposal—The Merger Agreement

”, the CCAC Board determined that this requirement was met.

Expected Accounting Treatment of the Business Combination

The Domestication

The Business Combination

We expect the Business Combination to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under the guidance in ASC 805, CCAC is expected to be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination is expected to be reflected as the equivalent of Quanergy issuing stock for the net assets of CCAC, accompanied by a recapitalization whereby no goodwill or other intangible assets are recorded.

Regulatory Matters

Under the HSR Act and the rules that have been promulgated thereunder by the FTC, certain transactions may not be consummated unless information has been furnished to the Antitrust Division and the FTC and certain waiting period requirements have been satisfied. The Business Combination is subject to these requirements and may not be completed until the expiration of a 30-day waiting period following the two filings of the required Notification and Report Forms with the Antitrust Division and the FTC or until early termination is granted. On July 6, 2021, CCAC and Quanergy filed the required forms under the HSR Act with respect to the Business Combination with the Antitrust Division and the FTC. On July 8, 2021, the Premerger Notification Office of the FTC and the Antitrust Division confirmed receipt of completed Notification and Report Forms from all parties with respect to the Proposed Transaction. The waiting period has expired on August 5, 2021 at 11:59pm.

On July 13, 2021, CCAC and Quanergy submitted a joint voluntary declaration of the Business Combination to CFIUS under Section 721 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended. Approval of the Business Combination by CFIUS is a condition to each party’s obligations to complete the Business Combination, and the parties’ completion of the Business Combination is therefore contingent upon CFIUS Clearance as defined in the Merger Agreement. On August 18, 2021, CFIUS informed CCAC and Quanergy in writing that after reviewing the information provided regarding the Proposed Transaction, that CFIUS concluded that the Proposed Transaction is not a covered transaction and therefore not subject to review by CFIUS. This notification from CFIUS satisfies the CFIUS Clearance condition in the Merger Agreement.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the BCA Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under the Cayman Islands Companies Law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the quorate extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

The BCA Proposal is conditioned on the approval of each of the Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the Condition Precedent Approvals is not approved, the BCA Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of ordinary shares.

DOMESTICATION PROPOSAL

Overview

As discussed in this proxy statement / prospectus, if the BCA Proposal is approved, then CCAC is asking its shareholders to approve the Domestication Proposal. Under the Merger Agreement, the approval of the Domestication Proposal is also a condition to the consummation of the Merger. If, however, the Domestication Proposal is approved, but the BCA Proposal is not approved, then neither the Domestication nor the Merger will be consummated.

As a condition to Closing the Merger, the CCAC Board has unanimously approved a change of CCAC’s jurisdiction of incorporation by deregistering as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and registering by way of continuation and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. In accordance with CCAC’s Plan of Domestication (included as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this proxy statement / prospectus is a part), to effect the Domestication, CCAC will file a notice of deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and file a certificate of incorporation and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which CCAC will be domesticated and continue as a Delaware corporation. In connection with the Domestication and simultaneously with the Business Combination, the corporate name of CCAC will change to “Quanergy Systems, Inc.”.

As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication, (1) each of the then issued 6,900,000 CCAC Class B ordinary shares will convert automatically, on a

one-for-one

basis, into a share of Quanergy PubCo common stock, (3) each of the then issued and outstanding 21,320,000 CCAC warrants will convert automatically into a Quanergy PubCo warrant, pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, and (4) each CCAC unit will be cancelled and will entitle the holder thereof to one share of Quanergy PubCo common stock and

one-half

of one Quanergy PubCo warrant. No fractional Quanergy PubCo warrants will be issued upon separation of the CCAC units.

The Domestication Proposal, if approved, will approve a change of CCAC’s jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware. Accordingly, while CCAC is currently governed by the Cayman Islands Companies Law, upon the Domestication, Quanergy PubCo will be governed by the DGCL. CCAC encourages shareholders to carefully consult the information set out below under “

Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights

.” Additionally, CCAC notes that if the Domestication Proposal is approved, then CCAC will also ask its shareholders to approve the Organizational Documents Proposal (discussed below), which, if approved, will replace CCAC’s current memorandum and articles of association under the Cayman Islands Companies Law with a new certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Quanergy PubCo under the DGCL. The Proposed Organizational Documents differ in certain material respects from the Cayman Constitutional Documents and CCAC encourages shareholders to carefully consult the information set out below under “

Organizational Documents Proposal

,” the Cayman Constitutional Documents of CCAC, attached hereto as Annex H and the Proposed Organizational Documents of Quanergy PubCo, attached hereto as Annex J and Annex I.

Reasons for the Domestication

Our board of directors believes that there are significant advantages to us that will arise as a result of a change of our domicile to Delaware. Further, our board of directors believes that any direct benefit that the DGCL provides to a corporation also indirectly benefits its stockholders, who are the owners of the corporation. The primary reason for the Domestication is to enable Quanergy PubCo to avoid certain taxes that would be imposed on Quanergy PubCo if Quanergy PubCo were to conduct an operating business in the United States as a foreign corporation following the Business Combination. In addition, because Quanergy PubCo will operate within the United States following the Business Combination, it was the view of the CCAC Board that Quanergy PubCo should be structured as a corporation organized in the United States.

175

Table of Contents

The CCAC Board believes that there are several reasons why a reincorporation in Delaware is in the best interests of CCAC and its shareholders. As explained in more detail below, these reasons can be summarized as follows:

•

Prominence, Predictability, and Flexibility of Delaware Law

. For many years, Delaware has followed a policy of encouraging incorporation in its state and, in furtherance of that policy, has been a leader in adopting, construing, and implementing comprehensive, flexible corporate laws responsive to the legal and business needs of corporations organized under its laws. Many corporations have chosen Delaware initially as a state of incorporation or have subsequently changed corporate domicile to Delaware. Because of Delaware’s prominence as the state of incorporation for many major corporations, both the legislature and courts in Delaware have demonstrated the ability and a willingness to act quickly and effectively to meet changing business needs. The DGCL is frequently revised and updated to accommodate changing legal and business needs and is more comprehensive, widely used and interpreted than other state corporate laws. This favorable corporate and regulatory environment is attractive to businesses such as ours.

•

Well-Established Principles of Corporate Governance

. There is substantial judicial precedent in the Delaware courts as to the legal principles applicable to measures that may be taken by a corporation and to the conduct of a company’s board of directors, such as under the business judgment rule and other standards. Because the judicial system is based largely on legal precedents, the abundance of Delaware case law provides clarity and predictability to many areas of corporate law. We believe such clarity would be advantageous to Quanergy PubCo, its board of directors and management to make corporate decisions and take corporate actions with greater assurance as to the validity and consequences of those decisions and actions. Further, investors and securities professionals are generally more familiar with Delaware corporations, and the laws governing such corporations, increasing their level of comfort with Delaware corporations relative to other jurisdictions. The Delaware courts have developed considerable expertise in dealing with corporate issues, and a substantial body of case law has developed construing Delaware law and establishing public policies with respect to corporate legal affairs. Moreover, Delaware’s vast body of law on the fiduciary duties of directors provides appropriate protection for Quanergy PubCo’s stockholders from possible abuses by directors and officers.

•

Increased Ability to Attract and Retain Qualified Directors

. Reincorporation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware is attractive to directors, officers, and stockholders alike. Quanergy PubCo’s incorporation in Delaware may make Quanergy PubCo more attractive to future candidates for our board of directors, because many such candidates are already familiar with Delaware corporate law from their past business experience. To date, we have not experienced difficulty in retaining directors or officers, but directors of public companies are exposed to significant potential liability. Thus, candidates’ familiarity and comfort with Delaware laws - especially those relating to director indemnification (as discussed below) - draw such qualified candidates to Delaware corporations. Our board of directors therefore believes that providing the benefits afforded directors by Delaware law will enable Quanergy PubCo to compete more effectively with other public companies in the recruitment of talented and experienced directors and officers. Moreover, Delaware’s vast body of law on the fiduciary duties of directors provides appropriate protection for our stockholders from possible abuses by directors and officers.

The frequency of claims and litigation pursued against directors and officers has greatly expanded the risks facing directors and officers of corporations in carrying out their respective duties. The amount of time and money required to respond to such claims and to defend such litigation can be substantial. While both Cayman Islands and Delaware law permit a corporation to include a provision in its governing documents to reduce or eliminate the monetary liability of directors for breaches of fiduciary duty in certain circumstances, CCAC believes that, in general, Delaware law is more developed and provides more guidance than Cayman Islands law on matters regarding a company’s ability to limit director liability. As a result, CCAC believes that the corporate environment afforded by Delaware will enable the surviving corporation to compete more effectively with other public companies in attracting and retaining new directors.

176

Table of Contents

Reasons for the Name Change

The CCAC Board believes it would be in the best interests of CCAC to, in connection with the Domestication and simultaneously with the Business Combination, change the corporate name to “Quanergy Systems, Inc.” in order to more accurately reflect the business purpose and activities of Quanergy PubCo.

Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed Bylaws

Commencing with the effective time of the Domestication which will be the effective time of the Business Combination, the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws will govern the rights of stockholders in Quanergy PubCo.

A chart comparing your rights as a holder of CCAC Shares as a Cayman Islands exempted company with your rights as a holder of the CCAC Class A ordinary shares can be found in the section entitled “

Domestication Proposal – Comparison of Shareholder Rights under Applicable Corporate Law Before and After the Domestication

” beginning on page 171 of this proxy statement / prospectus.

Comparison of Shareholder Rights under Applicable Corporate Law Before and After the Domestication

When the Domestication is completed, the rights of stockholders of Quanergy PubCo will be governed by Delaware law, including the DGCL, rather than by the laws of Cayman Islands. Certain differences exist between the DGCL and the Companies Act that will alter certain of the rights of shareholders of CCAC and affect the powers of the Quanergy PubCo board and management following the Domestication.

Shareholders should consider the following summary comparison of the laws of the Cayman Islands, on the one hand, and the DGCL, on the other. This comparison is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the DGCL and the Companies Act.

The owners of a Delaware corporation’s shares are referred to as “stockholders”. For purposes of language consistency, in certain sections of this proxy statement / prospectus, we may continue to refer to the share owners of Quanergy PubCo as “shareholders.”

ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL

Overview

If the Domestication Proposal is approved and the Business Combination is to be consummated, CCAC will replace the current amended and restated memorandum of association of CCAC (the “Existing Memorandum”) and the current amended and restated articles of association of CCAC (the “Existing Articles” and, together with the Existing Memorandum, the “Cayman Constitutional Documents”), in each case, adopted pursuant to the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands (the “Cayman Islands Companies Law”), with a proposed new certificate of incorporation (the “Proposed Certificate of Incorporation”) and proposed new bylaws (the “Proposed Bylaws” and, together with the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, the “Proposed Organizational Documents”) of Quanergy Systems, Inc., in each case, under the DGCL.

CCAC’s shareholders are asked to consider and vote upon and to adopt the Proposed Organizational Documents (collectively, the “Organizational Documents Proposal”) in connection with the replacement of the Cayman Constitutional Documents. The Organizational Documents Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Domestication Proposal, and, therefore, also conditioned on approval of the BCA Proposal. Therefore, if the BCA Proposal and the Domestication Proposal are not approved, the Organizational Documents Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by the requisite number of CCAC shareholders.

Overview

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4A—Authorized Shares

CCAC’s stockholders are being asked to approve and adopt an amendment to the Cayman Constitutional Documents to authorize the change in the authorized capital stock of CCAC from (i) 221,000,000 shares, divided into 200,000,000 CCAC Class A ordinary shares, 20,000,000 CCAC Class B ordinary shares and 1,000,000 CCAC Preference Shares to (ii) 310,000,000 shares, consisting of Quanergy PubCo shares of 300,000,000 common stock and 10,000,000 shares of Quanergy PubCo preferred stock.

As of the date of this proxy statement / prospectus, there are (i) 27,600,000 CCAC Class A ordinary shares issued, (ii) 6,900,000 CCAC Class B ordinary shares issued and (iii) no CCAC Preference Shares issued. In addition, as of the date of this proxy statement / prospectus, there is an aggregate of (x) 13,800,000 public warrants and 7,520,000 private placement warrants of CCAC, in each case, issued and outstanding. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement, the CCAC warrants will be exercisable after giving effect to the Merger for one share of Quanergy PubCo common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. No CCAC warrants are exercisable until 30 days after the Closing.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Quanergy PubCo will issue or, as applicable, reserve for issuance in respect of Quanergy Awards outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing that will be converted into awards based on Quanergy PubCo common stock, an aggregate of 14,291,963 shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock to the stockholders of Quanergy, and pursuant to the PIPE Investment, Quanergy PubCo will issue 4,000,000 shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock to the PIPE Investors.

In order to ensure that Quanergy PubCo has sufficient authorized capital for future issuances, the CCAC Board has approved, subject to stockholder approval, that the Proposed Organizational Documents of Quanergy PubCo change the authorized capital stock from (i) 221,000,000 shares, divided into 200,000,000 CCAC Class A ordinary shares, 20,000,000 CCAC Class B ordinary shares and 1,000,000 CCAC Preference Shares to (ii) 310,000,000 shares, consisting of Quanergy PubCo shares of 300,000,000 common stock and 10,000,000 shares of Quanergy PubCo preferred stock.

All stockholders are encouraged to read the Proposed Organizational Documents in their entirety for a more complete description of their terms.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4B—Exclusive Forum Provision

CCAC’s shareholders are being asked to approve and adopt an amendment to the Cayman Constitutional Documents to authorize adopting Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation.

The Proposed Organizational Documents stipulate that the Court of Chancery for the State of Delaware (the “Court of Chancery”) be the sole and exclusive forum (or, in the event that the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware) for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring (i) any derivative action, suit or proceeding brought on Quanergy PubCo’s behalf, (ii) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or stockholder of Quanergy PubCo to Quanergy PubCo or to Quanergy PubCo’s stockholders, (iii) any action, suit or proceeding arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation or the Proposed Bylaws (as each may be amended from time to time), (iv) any action, suit or proceeding as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery, or (v) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim against Quanergy PubCo or any current or former director, officer or stockholder governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation will further provide that unless Quanergy PubCo consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the federal district courts of the United States will be the exclusive forum for the resolutions of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation will provide that the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4C—Takeovers by Interested Stockholders

CCAC’s shareholders are being asked to approve and adopt an amendment to the Cayman Constitutional Documents to authorize electing not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL relating to takeovers by interested stockholders and, instead, be governed by a provision substantially similar to Section 203 of the DGCL.

The Proposed Organizational Documents will cause Quanergy PubCo to not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL and, instead, include a provision in the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation that is substantially similar to Section 203 of the DGCL.

Table of Contents

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4D—Adoption of Supermajority Vote Requirement to Amend the Proposed Organizational Documents

CCAC’s shareholders are being asked to approve and adopt an amendment to the Cayman Constitutional Documents to approve provisions providing that the affirmative vote of at least

two-thirds

of the voting power of all the then outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors will be required for stockholders to (i) adopt, amend or repeal the Proposed Bylaws and (ii) amend, alter, repeal or rescind Articles V(B), VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII and XIII of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4E—Removal of Directors

CCAC’s shareholders are being asked to approve and adopt an amendment to the Cayman Constitutional Documents to approve provisions permitting the removal of a director only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at an election of directors.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4F—Action by Written Consent of Stockholders

CCAC’s shareholders are being asked to approve and adopt an amendment to the Cayman Constitutional Documents to approve provisions requiring stockholders to take action at an annual or special meeting and prohibit stockholder action by written consent in lieu of a meeting.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4G—Other Changes In Connection With Adoption of the Proposed Organizational Documents

CCAC’s shareholders are being asked to approve and adopt an amendment to the Cayman Constitutional Documents to authorize (1) changing the corporate name from “Citic Capital Acquisition Corp.” to “Quanergy, Inc.”, (2) making Quanergy PubCo’s corporate existence perpetual, and (3) removing certain provisions related to CCAC’s status as a blank check company that will no longer be applicable upon consummation of the Business Combination.

The Proposed Organizational Documents will not contain provisions related to a blank check company (including those related to operation of the trust account, winding up of CCAC’s operations should CCAC not complete a business combination by a specified date, and other such blank check-specific provisions as are present in the Cayman Constitutional Documents) because following the consummation of the Merger, Quanergy, Inc., will not be a blank check company.

189

Table of Contents

Implementation of each of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, will result, upon the Domestication, in the wholesale replacement of the Cayman Constitutional Documents with Quanergy PubCo’s Proposed Organizational Documents. While certain material changes between the Cayman Constitutional Documents and the Proposed Organizational Documents have been unbundled into distinct organizational documents proposals or otherwise identified in this Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal, there are other differences between the Cayman Constitutional Documents and Proposed Organizational Documents (arising from, among other things, differences between the Cayman Islands Companies Law and the DGCL and the typical form of organizational documents under each such body of law) that will be approved (subject to the approval of the aforementioned related proposals and consummation of the Business Combination) if our shareholders approve the Organizational Documents Proposal.

Reasons for Amendments

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4A—Authorized Shares

The principal purpose of this proposal is to provide for an authorized capital structure of Quanergy PubCo that will enable it to continue as an operating company governed by the DGCL. Our board of directors believes that it is important for CCAC to have available for issuance a number of authorized shares of common stock and preferred stock sufficient to support our growth and to provide flexibility for future corporate needs.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4B—Exclusive Forum Provision

Adopting Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation is intended to assist Quanergy PubCo in avoiding multiple lawsuits in multiple jurisdictions regarding the same matter. The ability to require such claims to be brought in a single forum will help to assure consistent consideration of the issues, the application of a relatively known body of case law and level of expertise and should promote efficiency and cost-savings in the resolutions of such claims. Our board of directors believes that the Delaware courts are best suited to address disputes involving such matters given that after the Domestication, Quanergy PubCo will be incorporated in Delaware. Delaware law generally applies to such matters and the Delaware courts have a reputation for expertise in corporate law matters. Delaware offers a specialized Court of Chancery to address corporate law matters, with streamlined procedures and processes, which help provide relatively quick decisions. This accelerated schedule can minimize the time, cost and uncertainty of litigation for all parties. The Court of Chancery has developed considerable expertise with respect to corporate law issues, as well as a substantial and influential body of case law construing Delaware’s corporate law and long-standing precedent regarding corporate governance. This provides stockholders and the post-combination company with more predictability regarding the outcome of intra-corporate disputes. In addition, this amendment could avoid conflicting results with respect to any such claims, as well as make Quanergy PubCo’s defense of applicable claims less disruptive and more economically feasible, principally by avoiding duplicative discovery. In the event the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the other state courts located in Delaware would be the most appropriate forums because these courts have more expertise on matters of Delaware law compared to other jurisdictions; provided, that these exclusive forum provisions will not apply to suits brought to enforce any cause of action arising under the Securities Act, any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act, or to any claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

Table of Contents

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4C—Takeovers by Interested Stockholders

Quanergy PubCo will not be subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, an anti-takeover law. Section 203 is a default provision of the DGCL that prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination, such as a merger, with “interested stockholders” (a person or group owning 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock) for three years following the date that a person becomes an interested stockholder, unless: (i) before such stockholder becomes an “interested stockholder,” the board of directors approves the Business Combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; (ii) upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at the time of the transaction (excluding stock owned by certain persons); or (iii) at the time or after the stockholder became an interested stockholder, the board of directors and at least

two-thirds

of the disinterested outstanding voting stock of the corporation approves the transaction. While Section 203 is the default provision under the DGCL, the DGCL allows companies to opt out of Section 203 of the DGCL by including a provision in their certificate of incorporation expressly electing not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL.

The CCAC Board has elected to opt out of Section 203, but the board of directors believes that it is in the best interests of stockholders to have protections similar to those afforded by Section 203. These provisions will encourage any potential acquiror to negotiate with the board of directors and therefore provides an opportunity to possibly obtain a higher purchase price than would otherwise be offered in connection with a proposed acquisition of Quanergy PubCo. Such provisions may make it more difficult for an acquiror to consummate certain types of unfriendly or hostile corporate takeovers or other transactions involving Quanergy PubCo that have not been approved by the board of directors. The CCAC Board believes that while such provisions will provide some measure of protection against an interested stockholder that is proposing a

two-tiered

transaction structure that is unduly coercive, they would not ultimately prevent a potential takeover that enjoys the support of stockholders and that they will also help to prevent a third party from acquiring “creeping control” of Quanergy PubCo without paying a fair premium to all stockholders.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4D—Adoption of Supermajority Vote Requirement to Amend the Proposed Organizational Documents

The Cayman Constitutional Documents provide that amendments may be made by a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of at least

two-thirds

of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at a general meeting. The Proposed Organizational Documents require the affirmative vote of at least

two-thirds

of the voting power of the outstanding shares to (i) adopt, amend or repeal the Proposed Bylaws, and to (ii) amend, alter, repeal or rescind Articles V(B), VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII and XIII of the Certificate of Incorporation. The amendments are intended to protect the Proposed Bylaws and certain key provisions of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation from arbitrary amendment and to prevent a simple majority of stockholders from taking actions that may be harmful to other stockholders or making changes to provisions that are intended to protect all stockholders.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4E—Removal of Directors

The Cayman Constitutional Documents provide that before a Business Combination, holders of Class B Shares may remove any director, and that after a Business Combination, shareholders may by an ordinary resolution remove any director. Under the DGCL, unless a company’s certificate of incorporation provides otherwise, removal of a director only for cause is automatic with a classified board. The Proposed Organizational Documents permit the removal of a director only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at an election of directors. The CCAC Board believes that such a standard will (i) increase board continuity and the likelihood that experienced board members with familiarity of Quanergy PubCo’s business operations would serve on the board at any given time and (ii) make it more difficult for a potential acquiror or other person, group or entity to gain control of Quanergy PubCo’s board of directors.

191

Table of Contents

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4F—Action by Written Consent of Stockholders

Under the Proposed Organizational Documents, Quanergy PubCo’s stockholders will have the ability to propose items of business (subject to the restrictions set forth therein) at duly convened stockholder meetings. Eliminating the right of stockholders to act by written consent limits the circumstances under which stockholders can act on their own initiative to remove directors, or alter or amend Quanergy PubCo’s organizational documents outside of a duly called special or annual meeting of the stockholders of Quanergy PubCo. Further, our board of directors believes continuing to limit stockholders’ ability to act by written consent will reduce the time and effort our board of directors and management would need to devote to stockholder proposals, which time and effort could distract our directors and management from other important company business.

In addition, the elimination of the stockholders’ ability to act by written consent may have certain anti-takeover effects by forcing a potential acquirer to take control of the board of directors only at a duly called special or annual meeting. However, this proposal is not in response to any effort of which CCAC is aware to obtain control of Quanergy PubCo or CCAC, and the board of directors does not believe that the effects of the elimination of stockholder action by written consent will create a significant impediment to a tender offer or other effort to take control of Quanergy PubCo. Inclusion of this provision in the Proposed Organizational Documents might also increase the likelihood that a potential acquirer would negotiate the terms of any proposed transaction with the board of directors and thereby help protect stockholders from the use of abusive and coercive takeover tactics.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4G—Provisions Related to Status as Blank Check Company

The CCAC Board believes that changing Quanergy PubCo’s corporate name from “Citic Acquisition Corp.” to “Quanergy, Inc.” and making corporate existence perpetual is desirable to reflect the Business Combination and to clearly identify Quanergy PubCo as the publicly traded entity.

The elimination of certain provisions related to CCAC’s status as a blank check company is desirable because these provisions will serve no purpose following the Business Combination. For example, the Proposed Organizational Documents do not include the requirement to dissolve Quanergy PubCo and instead allow it to continue as a corporate entity with perpetual existence following consummation of the Business Combination. Perpetual existence is the usual period of existence for public corporations, and the CCAC Board believes it is the most appropriate period for Quanergy PubCo following the Business Combination. In addition, certain other provisions in CCAC’s current organizational documents require that proceeds from CCAC’s initial public offering be held in the trust account until a business combination or liquidation of CCAC has occurred. These provisions cease to apply once the Business Combination is consummated and are therefore not included in the Proposed Organizational Documents.

STOCK ISSUANCE PROPOSAL

Overview

Assuming the BCA Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal and the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal are approved, CCAC’s shareholders are also being asked to approve, by ordinary resolution, the Stock Issuance Proposal.

Reasons for the Approval for Purposes of NYSE Listing Rule 312.03

Pursuant to Section 312.03(c) of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual, shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of common stock, or of securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, in any transaction or series of related transactions if: (i) the common stock has, or will have upon issuance, voting power equal to or in excess of 20 percent of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of such stock or of securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock; or (ii) the number of shares of common stock to be issued is, or will be upon issuance, equal to or in excess of 20 percent of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance of the common stock or of securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock. Additionally, under Section 312.03(d) of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual, shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities when the issuance or potential issuance will result in a change of control of the registrant. Upon the consummation of the Merger, CCAC expects to issue an estimated 97,000,000 shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock in connection with the Business Combination and 4,000,000 shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock in connection with the PIPE Investment. For further details, see “

BCA Proposal—The Merger Agreement—Consideration—Aggregate Merger Consideration.

”

Accordingly, the aggregate number of shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock that CCAC will issue in connection with the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment will exceed 20% of both the voting power and the shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock outstanding before such issuance and may result in a change of control of the registrant under Section 312.03(d) of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual, and for these reasons, CCAC is seeking the approval of CCAC shareholders for the issuance of shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock pursuant in connection with the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment.

Additionally, pursuant to Section 312.03(b) of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual, shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of common stock, or of securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, in any transaction or series of related transactions, to (i) a director, officer or substantial security holder of the company (each a “Related Party”), (ii) a subsidiary, affiliate or other closely related person of a Related Party or (iii) any company or entity in which a Related Party has a substantial direct or indirect interest, in each case, if the number of shares of common stock to be issued, or if the number of shares of common stock into which the securities may be convertible or exercisable, exceeds either one percent of the number of shares of common stock or one percent of the voting power outstanding before the issuance.

Effect of the Proposal on Current Shareholders

In the event that this proposal is not approved by CCAC shareholders, the Business Combination cannot be consummated. In the event that this proposal is approved by CCAC shareholders, but the Merger Agreement is terminated (without the Business Combination being consummated) prior to the issuance of shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement or the PIPE Investment, such shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock will not be issued.

.” If the 2021 Plan is adopted, no awards will be granted under the 2013 Plan following the Closing. The 2021 Plan is described in more detail below.

General Information

The purpose of the 2021 Plan is to provide a means whereby Quanergy PubCo can secure and retain the services of employees, directors and consultants, to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for the success of Quanergy PubCo and its affiliates and to provide a means by which such persons may be given an opportunity to benefit from increases in value of the common stock through the granting of awards under the 2021 Plan.

Approval of the 2021 Plan by our shareholders is required, among other things, in order to comply with stock exchange rules requiring shareholder approval of equity compensation plans and allow the grant of incentive stock options and restricted stock units under the 2021 Plan. If this Equity Incentive Plan Proposal is approved by our shareholders, the 2021 Plan will become effective as of the date of the closing of the Business Combination. In the event that our shareholders do not approve this proposal, the 2021 Plan will not become effective.

Quanergy PubCo’s equity compensation program, as implemented under the 2021 Plan, will allow Quanergy PubCo to be competitive with comparable companies in its industry by giving it the resources to attract and retain talented individuals to achieve its business objectives and build stockholder value. It is critical to Quanergy PubCo’s long-term success that the interests of employees and other service providers be tied to their success as “owners” of the business. Approval of the 2021 Plan will allow Quanergy PubCo to grant stock options and other equity awards at levels it determines to be appropriate in order to attract new employees and other service providers, retain existing employees and service providers and to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for Quanergy PubCo’s success and ultimately increase stockholder value. The 2021 Plan allows Quanergy PubCo to utilize a broad array of equity incentives with flexibility in designing equity incentives, including traditional stock option grants, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, other stock awards and performance awards to offer competitive equity compensation packages in order to retain and motivate the talent necessary for Quanergy PubCo.

If the request to approve the 2021 Plan is approved by our shareholders, there will be a number of shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock equal to ten percent (10%) of the fully-diluted Quanergy PubCo common stock immediately following consummation of the Business Combination, subject to adjustment for specified changes in Quanergy PubCo’s capitalization, available for grant under the 2021 Plan as of the effective time of the Business Combination. In addition, as further described below under the section titled “

— Description of the 2021 Plan

—

Authorized Shares

,” the share reserve is subject to annual increases each January 1 of up to five percent (5%) of the fully-diluted Quanergy PubCo common stock (or a lesser number determined by the board of directors of Quanergy PubCo). The CCAC Board believes this pool size is necessary to provide sufficient reserved shares for a level of grants that will attract, retain, and motivate employees and other participants.

Description of the 2021 Plan

A summary description of the material features of the 2021 Plan is set forth below. The following summary does not purport to be a complete description of all the provisions of the 2021 Plan and is qualified by reference

Eligibility

. Any individual who is an employee of Quanergy PubCo or any of its affiliates, or any person who provides services to Quanergy PubCo or its affiliates, including consultants and members of the board of directors of Quanergy PubCo, is eligible to receive awards under the 2021 Plan at the discretion of the plan administrator (defined below). If this proposal is approved by the stockholders, all of Quanergy PubCo’s employees, directors and consultants will be eligible to receive awards following the closing of the Business Combination.

Awards

. The 2021 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options (“

ISOs

”), within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code to employees, including employees of any parent or subsidiary, and for the grant of nonstatutory stock options (“

NSOs

”), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance awards and other forms of awards to employees, directors and consultants, including employees and consultants of Quanergy PubCo’s affiliates.

Authorized Shares

. Initially, the maximum number of shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock that may be issued under the 2021 Plan after it becomes effective will not exceed a number of shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock equal to ten percent (10%) of the fully-diluted Quanergy PubCo common stock immediately following consummation of the Business Combination. In addition, the number of shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan will automatically increase on January 1 of each year, starting on January 1, 2022 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2031, in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) five percent (5%) of the fully-diluted shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock on December 31 of the preceding year, or (2) a lesser number of shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock determined by the board of directors of Quanergy PubCo prior to the date of the increase. The maximum number of shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock that may be issued on the exercise of ISOs under the 2021 Plan is a number of shares equal to three hundred percent (300%) of the number of shares initially reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan. As of , 2021, the “

Record Date

”, the closing price of CCAC’s common stock as reported on NYSE was $ per share.

The unused shares subject to stock awards granted under the 2021 Plan that expire, lapse or are terminated, exchanged for or settled in cash, surrendered, repurchased, canceled without having been fully exercised or forfeited, in any case, in a manner that results in Quanergy PubCo acquiring shares covered by the stock award at a price not greater than the price (as adjusted pursuant to the 2021 Plan) paid by the participant for such shares or not issuing any shares covered by the stock award, will, as applicable, become or again be available for stock award grants under the 2021 Plan. The following shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock will not be added to the shares authorized for grant and will not be available for future grants of stock awards: (i) shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock subject to a stock appreciation right that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of the stock appreciation right on exercise thereof; and (ii) shares purchased on the open market with the cash proceeds from the exercise of options; and (iii) shares delivered to Quanergy PubCo by a participant to satisfy the exercise or purchase price of a stock award or to satisfy any applicable tax withholding obligation with respect to a stock award (including shares of common stock retained by the Company from the Award being exercised or purchased and/or creating the tax obligation).

Non-Employee

Director Compensation Limit

. The aggregate value of all compensation granted or paid to any

non-employee

director with respect to any fiscal year, including awards granted and cash fees paid to such

non-employee

director, will not exceed (1) $750,000 in total value or (2) if such

non-employee

director is first appointed or elected to the board of directors of Quanergy PubCo during such fiscal year, $1,000,000 in total value, in each case, calculating the value of any equity awards based on the grant date fair value of such equity awards for financial reporting purposes and excluding distributions from a deferred compensation program.

Plan

Administration

. The board of directors of Quanergy PubCo, or a duly authorized committee thereof, will administer the 2021 Plan and is referred to as the “

plan administrator

” herein. The board of directors of Quanergy PubCo may also delegate to one or more of Quanergy PubCo’s officers the authority to (1) designate

197

Table of Contents

employees (other than officers) to receive specified stock awards and (2) determine the number of shares subject to such stock awards. Under the 2021 Plan, the board of directors of Quanergy PubCo has the authority to determine award recipients, grant dates, the numbers and types of stock awards to be granted, the applicable fair market value, and the provisions of each stock award, including the period of exercisability and the vesting schedule applicable to a stock award.

Stock Options

. ISOs and NSOs are granted under stock option agreements adopted by the plan administrator. The plan administrator determines the exercise price for stock options, within the terms and conditions of the 2021 Plan, provided that the exercise price of a stock option generally cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of Quanergy PubCo common stock on the date of grant. Options granted under the 2021 Plan vest at the rate specified in the stock option agreement as determined by the plan administrator.

The plan administrator determines the term of stock options granted under the 2021 Plan, up to a maximum of ten years. Unless the terms of an optionholder’s stock option agreement provide otherwise or as otherwise provided by the plan administrator, if an optionholder’s service relationship with Quanergy PubCo or any of Quanergy PubCo’s affiliates ceases for any reason other than disability, death, or cause, the optionholder may generally exercise any vested options for a period of three months following the cessation of service. This period may be extended in the event that exercise of the option is prohibited by applicable securities laws. Unless the terms of an optionholder’s stock option agreement provide otherwise or as otherwise provided by the plan administrator, if an optionholder’s service relationship with Quanergy PubCo or any of Quanergy PubCo’s affiliates ceases due to death or disability, or an optionholder dies within a certain period following cessation of service, the optionholder or a beneficiary may generally exercise any vested options for a period of 12 months following the date of death or disability. In the event of a termination for cause, options generally terminate upon the termination date. In no event may an option be exercised beyond the expiration of its term.

Acceptable consideration for the purchase of Quanergy PubCo common stock issued upon the exercise of a stock option will be determined by the plan administrator and may include (1) cash, check, bank draft or money order, (2) a broker-assisted cashless exercise, (3) the tender of shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock previously owned by the optionholder, (4) a net exercise of the option if it is an NSO or (5) other legal consideration approved by the plan administrator.

Unless the plan administrator provides otherwise, options and stock appreciation rights generally are not transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Subject to approval of the plan administrator or a duly authorized officer, an option may be transferred pursuant to a domestic relations order.

Tax Limitations on ISOs

. The aggregate fair market value, determined at the time of grant, of Quanergy PubCo common stock with respect to ISOs that are exercisable for the first time by an award holder during any calendar year under all of Quanergy PubCo’s stock plans may not exceed $100,000. Options or portions thereof that exceed such limit will generally be treated as NSOs. No ISO may be granted to any person who, at the time of the grant, owns or is deemed to own stock possessing more than 10% of Quanergy PubCo’s total combined voting power or that of any of Quanergy PubCo’s parent or subsidiary corporations unless (1) the option exercise price is at least 110% of the fair market value of the stock subject to the option on the date of grant and (2) the term of the ISO does not exceed five years from the date of grant.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards

. Restricted stock unit awards are granted under restricted stock unit award agreements adopted by the plan administrator. Restricted stock unit awards will be granted in consideration for the participant’s services or for any form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the plan administrator and permissible under applicable law. A restricted stock unit award may be settled by cash, delivery of shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock, a combination of cash and shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock as determined by the plan administrator, or in any other form of consideration set forth in the restricted stock unit award agreement. Additionally, dividend equivalents may be credited in respect of shares covered by a restricted stock unit award. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement or by the plan administrator, restricted stock unit awards that have not vested will be forfeited once the participant’s continuous service ends for any reason.

Table of Contents

Restricted Stock Awards

. Restricted stock awards are granted under restricted stock award agreements adopted by the plan administrator. A restricted stock award may be awarded in consideration for cash, check, bank draft or money order, services to us, or any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the plan administrator and permissible under applicable law. The plan administrator determines the terms and conditions of restricted stock awards, including vesting and forfeiture terms. If a participant’s service relationship with Quanergy PubCo ends for any reason, Quanergy PubCo may receive any or all of the shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock held by the participant that have not vested as of the date the participant terminates service with Quanergy PubCo through a forfeiture condition or a repurchase right.

Stock Appreciation Rights

. Stock appreciation rights are granted under stock appreciation right agreements adopted by the plan administrator. The plan administrator determines the strike price for a stock appreciation right, which generally cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of Quanergy PubCo common stock on the date of grant. A stock appreciation right granted under the 2021 Plan vests at the rate specified in the stock appreciation right agreement as determined by the plan administrator. Stock appreciation rights may be settled in cash or shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock or in any other form of payment, as determined by the plan administrator and specified in the stock appreciation right agreement.

The plan administrator determines the term of stock appreciation rights granted under the 2021 Plan, up to a maximum of ten years. Unless the terms of a participant’s stock appreciation rights agreement provide otherwise or as otherwise provided by the plan administrator, if a participant’s service relationship with Quanergy PubCo or any of its affiliates ceases for any reason other than cause, disability, or death, the participant may generally exercise any vested stock appreciation right for a period of three months following the cessation of service. This period may be further extended in the event that exercise of the stock appreciation right following such a termination of service is prohibited by applicable securities laws. Unless the terms of a participant’s stock appreciation rights agreement provide otherwise or as otherwise provided by the plan administrator, if a participant’s service relationship with Quanergy PubCo or any of its affiliates, ceases due to disability or death, or a participant dies within a certain period following cessation of service, the participant or a beneficiary may generally exercise any vested stock appreciation right for a period of 12 months in the event of disability and 18 months in the event of death. In the event of a termination for cause, stock appreciation rights generally terminate immediately upon the occurrence of the event giving rise to the termination of the individual for cause. In no event may a stock appreciation right be exercised beyond the expiration of its term.

Performance Awards

. The 2021 Plan permits the grant of performance awards that may be settled in stock, cash or other property. Performance awards may be structured so that the stock or cash will be issued or paid only following the achievement of certain

pre-established

performance goals during a designated performance period. Performance awards that are settled in cash or other property are not required to be valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, Quanergy PubCo common stock.

Other Stock Awards

. The plan administrator may grant other awards based in whole or in part by reference to Quanergy PubCo common stock. The plan administrator will set the number of shares under the stock award (or cash equivalent) and all other terms and conditions of such awards.

Changes to Capital Structure

. In the event there is a specified type of change in the capital structure of Quanergy PubCo, such as a stock split, reverse stock split, or recapitalization, appropriate adjustments will be made to (1) the class and maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan, (2) the class of shares by which the share reserve may increase automatically each year, (3) the class and maximum number of shares that may be issued on the exercise of ISOs and (4) the class and number of shares and exercise price, strike price, or purchase price, if applicable, of all outstanding stock awards.

Corporate Transactions

. The following applies to stock awards under the 2021 Plan in the event of a corporate transaction (as defined in the 2021 Plan), unless otherwise provided in a participant’s stock award agreement or other written agreement with Quanergy PubCo or one of its affiliates or unless otherwise expressly provided by the plan administrator at the time of grant.

199

Table of Contents

In the event of a corporate transaction, any stock awards outstanding under the 2021 Plan may be assumed, continued or substituted for by any surviving or acquiring corporation (or its parent company), and any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by Quanergy PubCo with respect to the stock award may be assigned to Quanergy PubCo’s successor (or its parent company). If the surviving or acquiring corporation (or its parent company) does not assume, continue or substitute for such stock awards, then (i) with respect to any such stock awards that are held by participants whose continuous service has not terminated prior to the effective time of the corporate transaction, or current participants, the vesting (and exercisability, if applicable) of such stock awards will be accelerated in full (or, in the case of performance awards with multiple vesting levels depending on the level of performance, vesting will accelerate at 100% of the target level) to a date prior to the effective time of the corporate transaction (contingent upon the effectiveness of the corporate transaction), and such stock awards will terminate if not exercised (if applicable) at or prior to the effective time of the corporate transaction, and any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by Quanergy PubCo with respect to such stock awards will lapse (contingent upon the effectiveness of the corporate transaction), and (ii) any such stock awards that are held by persons other than current participants will terminate if not exercised (if applicable) prior to the effective time of the corporate transaction, except that any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by Quanergy PubCo with respect to such stock awards will not terminate and may continue to be exercised notwithstanding the corporate transaction.

In the event a stock award will terminate if not exercised prior to the effective time of a corporate transaction, the plan administrator may provide, in its sole discretion, that the holder of such stock award may not exercise such stock award but instead will receive a payment equal in value to the excess (if any) of (i) the per share amount payable to holders of Quanergy PubCo common stock in connection with the corporate transaction, over (ii) any per share exercise price payable by such holder, if applicable.

Plan

Amendment or Termination

. The board of directors of Quanergy PubCo has the authority to amend, suspend, or terminate the 2021 Plan at any time, provided that such action does not materially impair the existing rights of any participant without such participant’s written consent. Certain material amendments also require approval of Quanergy PubCo’s stockholders. No ISOs may be granted after the tenth anniversary of the date that the CCAC Board adopts the 2021 Plan. No stock awards may be granted under the 2021 Plan while it is suspended or after it is terminated.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a summary of the principal U.S. federal income tax consequences to participants and Quanergy PubCo with respect to participation in the 2021 Plan, which will not become effective until the date of the closing of the Business Combination. No awards will be issued under the 2021 Plan prior to the date of the closing of the Business Combination. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive and does not discuss the income tax laws of any local, state or foreign jurisdiction in which a participant may reside. The information is based upon current U.S. federal income tax rules and therefore is subject to change when those rules change. Because the tax consequences to any participant may depend on his or her particular situation, each participant should consult the participant’s tax adviser regarding the federal, state, local and other tax consequences of the grant or exercise of an award or the disposition of stock acquired under the 2021 Plan. The 2021 Plan is not qualified under the provisions of Section 401(a) of the Code and is not subject to any of the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Quanergy PubCo’s ability to realize the benefit of any tax deductions described below depends on Quanergy PubCo’s generation of taxable income as well as the requirement of reasonableness and the satisfaction of Quanergy PubCo’s tax reporting obligations.

Nonstatutory Stock Options.

Generally, there is no taxation upon the grant of an NSO. Upon exercise, a participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of exercise of the stock option over the exercise price. If the participant is employed by Quanergy PubCo or one of its affiliates, that income will be subject to withholding taxes. The participant’s tax basis in those shares will be equal to their fair market value on the date of exercise of the stock option, and the participant’s capital gain holding period for those shares will begin on the day after they are transferred to the

200

Table of Contents

participant. Subject to the requirement of reasonableness, the deduction limits under Section 162(m) of the Code and the satisfaction of a tax reporting obligation, Quanergy PubCo will generally be entitled to a tax deduction equal to the taxable ordinary income realized by the participant.

Incentive Stock Options.

The 2021 Plan provides for the grant of stock options that are intended to qualify as “incentive stock options,” as defined in Section 422 of the Code. Under the Code, a participant generally is not subject to ordinary income tax upon the grant or exercise of an ISO. If the participant holds a share received upon exercise of an ISO for more than two years from the date the stock option was granted and more than one year from the date the stock option was exercised, which is referred to as the required holding period, the difference, if any, between the amount realized on a sale or other taxable disposition of that share and the participant’s tax basis in that share will be long-term capital gain or loss. If, however, a participant disposes of a share acquired upon exercise of an ISO before the end of the required holding period, which is referred to as a disqualifying disposition, the participant generally will recognize ordinary income in the year of the disqualifying disposition equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the share on the date of exercise of the stock option over the exercise price. However, if the sales proceeds are less than the fair market value of the share on the date of exercise of the stock option, the amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant will not exceed the gain, if any, realized on the sale. If the amount realized on a disqualifying disposition exceeds the fair market value of the share on the date of exercise of the stock option, that excess will be short-term or long-term capital gain, depending on whether the holding period for the share exceeds one year. For purposes of the alternative minimum tax, the amount by which the fair market value of a share of stock acquired upon exercise of an ISO exceeds the exercise price of the stock option generally will be an adjustment included in the participant’s alternative minimum taxable income for the year in which the stock option is exercised. If, however, there is a disqualifying disposition of the share in the year in which the stock option is exercised, there will be no adjustment for alternative minimum tax purposes with respect to that share. In computing alternative minimum taxable income, the tax basis of a share acquired upon exercise of an ISO is increased by the amount of the adjustment taken into account with respect to that share for alternative minimum tax purposes in the year the stock option is exercised. Quanergy PubCo is not allowed a tax deduction with respect to the grant or exercise of an ISO or the disposition of a share acquired upon exercise of an ISO after the required holding period. If there is a disqualifying disposition of a share, however, Quanergy PubCo will generally be entitled to a tax deduction equal to the taxable ordinary income realized by the participant, subject to the requirement of reasonableness, the deduction limits under Section 162(m) of the Code and provided that either the employee includes that amount in income or Quanergy PubCo timely satisfies its reporting requirements with respect to that amount.

Restricted Stock Awards.

Generally, the recipient of a restricted stock award will recognize ordinary income at the time the stock is received equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the stock received over any amount paid by the recipient in exchange for the stock. If, however, the stock is subject to restrictions constituting a substantial risk of forfeiture when it is received (for example, if the employee is required to work for a period of time in order to have the right to transfer or sell the stock), the recipient generally will not recognize income until the restrictions constituting a substantial risk of forfeiture lapse, at which time the recipient will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the stock on the date it becomes vested over any amount paid by the recipient in exchange for the stock. A recipient may, however, file an election with the Internal Revenue Service, within 30 days following the date of grant, to recognize ordinary income, as of the date of grant, equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the stock on the date the award is granted over any amount paid by the recipient for the stock. The recipient’s basis for the determination of gain or loss upon the subsequent disposition of shares acquired from a restricted stock award will be the amount paid for such shares plus any ordinary income recognized either when the stock is received or when the restrictions constituting a substantial risk of forfeiture lapse. Subject to the requirement of reasonableness, the deduction limits under Section 162(m) of the Code and the satisfaction of a tax reporting obligation, Quanergy PubCo will generally be entitled to a tax deduction equal to the taxable ordinary income realized by the recipient of the restricted stock award.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards.

Generally, the recipient of a restricted stock unit award will generally recognize ordinary income at the time the stock is delivered equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the fair market

201

Table of Contents

value of the stock received over any amount paid by the recipient in exchange for the stock or (ii) the amount of cash paid to the participant. The recipient’s basis for the determination of gain or loss upon the subsequent disposition of shares acquired from a restricted stock unit award will be the amount paid for such shares plus any ordinary income recognized when the stock is delivered, and the participant’s capital gain holding period for those shares will begin on the day after they are transferred to the participant. Subject to the requirement of reasonableness, the deduction limits under Section 162(m) of the Code and the satisfaction of a tax reporting obligation, Quanergy PubCo will generally be entitled to a tax deduction equal to the taxable ordinary income realized by the recipient of the restricted stock unit award.

Stock Appreciation Rights.

Generally, the recipient of a stock appreciation right will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the stock or cash received upon such exercise. Subject to the requirement of reasonableness, the deduction limits under Section 162(m) of the Code and the satisfaction of a tax reporting obligation, Quanergy PubCo will generally be entitled to a tax deduction equal to the taxable ordinary income realized by the recipient of the stock appreciation right.

Tax Consequences to Quanergy PubCo

Compensation of Covered Employees.

The ability of Quanergy PubCo to obtain a deduction for amounts paid under the 2021 Plan could be limited by Section 162(m) of the Code. Section 162(m) of the Code limits Quanergy PubCo’s ability to deduct compensation, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, paid during any year to a “covered employee” (within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code) in excess of $1 million.

Golden Parachute Payments

. The ability of Quanergy PubCo (or the ability of one of its subsidiaries) to obtain a deduction for future payments under the 2021 Plan could also be limited by the golden parachute rules of Section 280G of the Code, which prevent the deductibility of certain “excess parachute payments” made in connection with a change in control of an employer-corporation.

New Plan Benefits

Following the Closing, Quanergy PubCo is expected to have approximately 110 employees, five

non-employee

directors and consultants who may be eligible to receive awards under the 2021 Plan. However, the awards, if any, that will be made to eligible persons under the 2021 Plan are subject to the discretion of the compensation committee of the board of directors of Quanergy PubCo. Therefore, CCAC cannot currently determine the benefits or number of shares subject to awards that may be granted in the future and a new plan benefits table is thus not provided.

Vote Required for Approval

The Equity Incentive Plan Proposal may be approved by an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the quorate extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions and broker

non-votes,

while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

ESPP PROPOSAL

Overview

In this proposal, CCAC is asking its shareholders to approve the ESPP. The CCAC Board approved the ESPP on June 21, 2021, subject to shareholders approval at the special meeting of shareholders. If shareholders approve this proposal, the ESPP will become effective on the consummation of the Business Combination. However, this proposal is cross-conditioned on the other Condition Precedent Proposals. If the ESPP is not approved by the shareholders, it will not become effective. The ESPP is described in more detail below.

The purpose of the ESPP is to provide a means whereby Quanergy PubCo can align the long-term financial interests of its employees with the financial interests of its stockholders. In addition, the board of directors believes that the ability to allow its employees to purchase shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock will help Quanergy PubCo to attract, retain, and motivate employees and encourage them to devote their best efforts to Quanergy PubCo’s business and financial success. Approval of the ESPP by CCAC’s shareholders will allow Quanergy PubCo to provide its employees with the opportunity to acquire an ownership interest in Quanergy PubCo through their participation in the ESPP, thereby encouraging them to remain in service and more closely aligning their interests with those of Quanergy PubCo’s stockholders. While approval of the ESPP will make the ESPP effective, participation in the ESPP will not commence until a later date as determined by Quanergy PubCo’s board of directors.

Description of the ESPP

The material features of the ESPP are described below. The following description of the ESPP is a summary only. This summary is not a complete statement of the ESPP and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the ESPP, a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex F. CCAC’s shareholders should refer to the ESPP for more complete and detailed information about the terms and conditions of the ESPP.

Purpose

. The purpose of the ESPP is to provide a means by which eligible employees of Quanergy PubCo and certain designated companies may be given an opportunity to purchase shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock following the closing of the Business Combination, to assist Quanergy PubCo in retaining the services of eligible employees, to secure and retain the services of new employees and to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for Quanergy PubCo’s success.

The Plan includes two components: a “

423 Component

” and a “

Non-423

Component

.” Quanergy PubCo intends that the 423 Component will qualify as options issued under an “employee stock purchase plan” as that term is defined in Section 423(b) of the Code. Except as otherwise provided in the ESPP or determined by the board of directors of Quanergy PubCo, the

Non-423

Component will operate and be administered in the same manner as the 423 Component. However, if a participant transfers from an offering under the 423 Component to an offering under the

Non-423

Component after the participant transfers employment by or between Quanergy PubCo and a company designated by the board of directors of Quanergy PubCo or between such designated companies, the exercise of the participant’s purchase rights will be qualified under the 423 Component only to the extent such exercise complies with Section 423 of the Code. If a Participant transfers from an offering under the

Non-423

Component to an offering under the 423 Component, the exercise of the purchase right will remain

non-qualified

under the

Non-423

Component.

Share Reserve

. The maximum number of shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock that may be issued under the ESPP is a number of shares equal to one percent (1%) of the shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock outstanding immediately following consummation of the Business Combination. Additionally, the number of shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock reserved for issuance under the ESPP will automatically increase on January 1st of each year, beginning on January 1, 2022 and continuing through and including January 1, 2031, by the lesser of (1) one percent (1%) of fully diluted Quanergy PubCo common stock on December 31st of the preceding calendar year, (2) shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock, or (3) such lesser number of shares of Quanergy PubCo as determined by the board of directors of Quanergy PubCo. Shares subject to purchase rights granted under the ESPP that terminate without having been exercised in full will not reduce the

204

Table of Contents

number of shares available for issuance under the ESPP. As of , 2021, the Record Date, the closing price of CCAC’s public shares as reported on NYSE was $ per public share.

Administration

. The board of directors of Quanergy PubCo, or a duly authorized committee thereof, will administer the ESPP and will have the right to establish offerings under the ESPP, provided that such offerings are not inconsistent with the terms of the ESPP.

Limitations

. Quanergy PubCo employees and the employees of any of its designated affiliates, as designated by the board of directors of Quanergy PubCo, will be eligible to participate in the ESPP, provided they may have to satisfy one or more of the following service requirements before participating in the ESPP, as determined by the administrator: (1) customary employment with Quanergy PubCo or one of its affiliates for more than 20 hours per week and five or more months per calendar year or (2) continuous employment with Quanergy PubCo or one of its affiliates for a minimum period of time, not to exceed two years, prior to the first date of an offering. In addition, the board of directors of Quanergy PubCo may also exclude from participation in the ESPP or any offering, employees who are “highly compensated employees” (within the meaning of Section 423(b)(4)(D) of the Code) or a subset of such highly compensated employees. Further, the board of directors of Quanergy PubCo may also impose holding restrictions on the shares purchased under one or more offerings under the ESPP. If this proposal is approved by the stockholders, all the employees of Quanergy PubCo and its related corporations will be eligible to participate in the ESPP following the closing of the Business Combination. An employee may not be granted rights to purchase stock under the ESPP (a) if such employee immediately after the grant would own stock possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of Quanergy PubCo stock or (b) to the extent that such rights would accrue at a rate that exceeds $25,000 worth of Quanergy PubCo stock for each calendar year that the rights remain outstanding.

The ESPP is intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan under Section 423 of the Code. The administrator may specify offerings with a duration of not more than 27 months, and may specify one or more shorter purchase periods within each offering. Each offering will have one or more purchase dates on which shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock will be purchased for the employees who are participating in the offering. The administrator, in its discretion, will determine the terms of offerings under the ESPP. The administrator has the discretion to structure an offering so that if the fair market value of a share of Quanergy PubCo stock on any purchase date during the offering period is less than or equal to the fair market value of a share of Quanergy PubCo stock on the first day of the offering period, then that offering will terminate immediately, and the participants in such terminated offering will be automatically enrolled in a new offering that begins immediately after such purchase date.

A participant may not transfer purchase rights under the ESPP other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution, or as otherwise provided under the ESPP.

Payroll Deductions

. The ESPP permits participants to purchase shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock through payroll deductions. The administrator will determine the purchase price of the shares under each offering; provided that, in no case will such purchase price be lesser than 85% of the lower of the fair market value of Quanergy PubCo common stock on the first day of an offering or on the date of purchase. Participants may end their participation at any time during an offering and will be paid their accrued contributions that have not yet been used to purchase shares, without interest. Participation ends automatically upon termination of employment with Quanergy PubCo and its related corporations.

Withdrawal.

Participants may withdraw from an offering by delivering a withdrawal form to Quanergy PubCo and terminating their contributions. Such withdrawal may be elected at any time prior to the end of an offering, except as otherwise provided by the plan administrator. Upon such withdrawal, Quanergy PubCo will distribute to the employee his or her accumulated but unused contributions without interest, and such employee’s right to participate in that offering will terminate. However, an employee’s withdrawal from an offering does not affect such employee’s eligibility to participate in any other offerings under the ESPP.

Termination of Employment.

A participant’s rights under any offering under the ESPP will terminate

205

Table of Contents

immediately if the participant either (i) is no longer employed by Quanergy PubCo or any of its parent or subsidiary companies (subject to any post-employment participation period required by law) or (ii) is otherwise no longer eligible to participate. In such event, Quanergy PubCo will distribute to the participant his or her accumulated but unused contributions, without interest. Unless otherwise determined by the board of directors of Quanergy PubCo, a Participant whose employment transfers or whose employment terminates with an immediate rehire (with no break in service) by or between Quanergy PubCo and a company designated by the board of directors of Quanergy PubCo or between such designated companies will not be treated as having terminated employment for purposes of participating in and offering or the ESPP.

Corporate Transactions

. In the event of certain specified significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or change in control, a successor corporation may assume, continue, or substitute each outstanding purchase right. If the successor corporation does not assume, continue, or substitute for the outstanding purchase rights, the offering in progress will be shortened, and a new purchase date will be set and within ten business days prior to the corporate transaction. The participants’ purchase rights will be exercised on the new purchase date and such purchase rights will terminate immediately thereafter.

Amendment and Termination

. The board of directors of Quanergy PubCo has the authority to amend, suspend, or terminate the ESPP, at any time and for any reason, provided certain types of amendments will require the approval of Quanergy PubCo stockholders. Any benefits, privileges, entitlements and obligations under any outstanding purchase rights granted before an amendment, suspension or termination of the ESPP will not be materially impaired by any such amendment, suspension or termination except (i) with the consent of the person to whom such purchase rights were granted, (ii) as necessary to facilitate compliance with any laws, listing requirements, or governmental regulations, or (iii) as necessary to obtain or maintain favorable tax, listing, or regulatory treatment. The ESPP will remain in effect until terminated by the board of directors of Quanergy PubCo in accordance with the terms of the ESPP.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a summary of the principal U.S. federal income tax consequences to participants and Quanergy PubCo with respect to participation in the ESPP. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive and does not discuss the income tax laws of any local, state or foreign jurisdiction in which a participant may reside. The information is based upon current U.S. federal income tax rules and therefore is subject to change when those rules change. Because the tax consequences to any participant may depend on his or her particular situation, each participant should consult the participant’s tax adviser regarding the federal, state, local, and other tax consequences of the grant or exercise of a purchase right or the sale or other disposition of Quanergy PubCo common stock acquired under the ESPP. The ESPP is not qualified under the provisions of Section 401(a) of the Code and is not subject to any of the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

423 Component of the ESPP

Rights granted under the 423 Component of the ESPP are intended to qualify for favorable U.S. federal income tax treatment associated with rights granted under an employee stock purchase plan which qualifies under the provisions of Section 423 of the Code.

A participant will be taxed on amounts withheld for the purchase of shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock as if such amounts were actually received. Otherwise, no income will be taxable to a participant as a result of the granting or exercise of a purchase right until a sale or other disposition of the acquired shares. The taxation upon such sale or other disposition will depend upon the holding period of the acquired shares.

If the shares are sold or otherwise disposed of more than two years after the beginning of the offering period and more than one year after the shares are transferred to the participant, then the lesser of the following will be treated as ordinary income: (i) the excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time of such sale or other disposition over the purchase price; or (ii) the excess of the fair market value of the shares as of the beginning of

206

Table of Contents

the offering period over the purchase price (determined as of the beginning of the offering period). Any further gain or any loss will be taxed as a long-term capital gain or loss.

If the shares are sold or otherwise disposed of before the expiration of either of the holding periods described above, then the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the purchase date over the purchase price will be treated as ordinary income at the time of such sale or other disposition. The balance of any gain will be treated as capital gain. Even if the shares are later sold or otherwise disposed of for less than their fair market value on the purchase date, the same amount of ordinary income is attributed to the participant, and a capital loss is recognized equal to the difference between the sales price and the fair market value of the shares on such purchase date. Any capital gain or loss will be short-term or long-term, depending on how long the shares have been held.

Non-423

Component

A participant will be taxed on amounts withheld for the purchase of shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock as if such amounts were actually received. Under the

Non-423

Component, a participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of exercise of the purchase right over the purchase price. If the participant is employed by Quanergy PubCo or one of its affiliates, that income will be subject to withholding taxes. The participant’s tax basis in those shares will be equal to their fair market value on the date of exercise of the purchase right, and the participant’s capital gain holding period for those shares will begin on the day after they are transferred to the participant.

There are no U.S. federal income tax consequences to Quanergy PubCo by reason of the grant or exercise of rights under the ESPP. Quanergy PubCo is entitled to a deduction to the extent amounts are taxed as ordinary income to a participant for shares sold or otherwise disposed of before the expiration of the holding periods described above (subject to the requirement of reasonableness, the deduction limits under Section 162(m) of the Code and the satisfaction of tax reporting obligations).

New Plan Benefits

Following the Closing, Quanergy PubCo is expected to have approximately 110 employees who would be eligible participate in the ESPP if the board of directors of Quanergy PubCo determined to initiate an offering at such time. However, participation in the ESPP is voluntary and each eligible employee will make his or her own decision regarding whether and to what extent to participate in the ESPP. Therefore, CCAC cannot currently determine the benefits or number of shares subject to purchase rights and a new plan benefits table is thus not provided.

Interests of CCAC’s Directors and Officers in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal

When you consider the recommendation of the CCAC Board in favor of approval of the ESPP, you should keep in mind that certain of CCAC’s directors and officers have interests in the ESPP that are different from, in addition to, or in conflict with your interests as a stockholder or warrantholder, including, among other things, the existence of financial and personal interests.

U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following discussion is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations (i) for U.S. Holders and

Non-U.S.

Holders (each as defined below, and together, “Holders”) of CCAC Class A ordinary shares and CCAC warrants (each, a “CCAC Security”) of the Domestication and (ii) for Holders of CCAC Class A ordinary shares that elect to have the Quanergy PubCo common stock they receive in connection with the Domestication redeemed for cash if the Business Combination is completed. This section applies only to Holders that hold their CCAC Securities as “capital assets” for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, property held for investment). For purposes of this discussion, because the components of a CCAC unit are generally separable at the option of the Holder, the Holder of a CCAC unit generally should be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as the owner of the underlying CCAC Class A ordinary share and CCAC warrant components of the CCAC unit. Accordingly, the separation of a CCAC unit into the CCAC Class A ordinary share and the

one-half

of one CCAC warrant underlying the CCAC unit generally should not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This position is not free from doubt, and no assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a contrary position. Holders of CCAC Securities are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal, state, local and any

non-U.S.

tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by the Domestication and the Business Combination (including any redemption of the Quanergy PubCo common stock) with respect to any CCAC Class A ordinary shares and CCAC warrants held through CCAC units (including alternative characterizations of CCAC units).

This discussion is limited to U.S. federal income tax considerations and does not address estate or any gift tax considerations or considerations arising under the tax laws of any state, local or

non-U.S.

jurisdiction. This discussion does not describe all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to you in light of your particular circumstances, including the alternative minimum tax, the Medicare tax on certain investment income, the consequences of special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code and the different consequences that may apply if you are subject to special rules under U.S. federal income tax law that apply to certain types of investors, such as:

•

financial institutions or financial services entities;

•

broker-dealers;

•

taxpayers that are subject to the

mark-to-market

accounting rules with respect to the CCAC Securities;

•

tax-exempt

entities;

•

governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

•

insurance companies;

•

regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;

•

U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;

•

persons that actually or constructively own five percent or more (by vote or value) of CCAC Class A ordinary shares (except as specifically provided below);

•

the Sponsor or its affiliates, officers or directors, or holders of private placement warrants;

•

persons that acquired their CCAC Securities pursuant to an exercise of employee share options, in connection with employee share incentive plans or otherwise as compensation;

•

persons that hold their CCAC Securities as part of a straddle, constructive sale, hedging, wash sale, conversion or other integrated or similar transaction;

•

U.S. Holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar; or

•

“specified foreign corporations” (including “controlled foreign corporations”), “passive foreign investment companies” or corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax.

Table of Contents

If a partnership (or any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds CCAC Securities, the tax treatment of such partnership and a person treated as a partner of such partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding any CCAC Securities and persons that are treated as partners of such partnerships should consult their tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences to them of the Domestication and the exercise of redemption rights with respect to their CCAC Class A ordinary shares.

This discussion is based on the Code, proposed, temporary and final Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, all as of the date hereof. All of the foregoing is subject to change, which change could apply retroactively and could affect the tax considerations described herein.

We have not sought, and do not intend to, seek any rulings from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax considerations described herein. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not take positions inconsistent with the considerations discussed below or that any such positions would not be sustained by a court.

THIS DISCUSSION IS ONLY A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DOMESTICATION AND EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THE CLASS A ORDINARY SHARES. EACH HOLDER SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH HOLDER OF THE DOMESTICATION AND THE BUSINESS COMBINATION, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL

NON-INCOME,

STATE AND LOCAL AND

NON-U.S.

TAX LAWS.

U.S. HOLDERS

As used herein, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of a CCAC Security who or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

•

a corporation that is created or organized (or treated as created or organized) in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

•

an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

•

a trust if (1) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) it has a valid election in place to be treated as a United States person.

Tax Effects of the Domestication to U.S. Holders

1. Generally

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication will depend primarily upon whether the domestication qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code.

Under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, a reorganization is a “mere change in identity, form, or place of organization of one corporation, however effected.” Pursuant to the Domestication, CCAC will change its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware, and, in connection with the Closing, will change its name to “Quanergy Inc.”

White & Case LLP has delivered an opinion that the Domestication will qualify as an F Reorganization. Such opinion is filed by amendment as Exhibit 8.1 to the registration statement of which this

211

Table of Contents

proxy statement/prospectus forms part and is based on customary assumptions, representations and covenants. If any of the assumptions, representations or covenants on which the opinion is based is or becomes incorrect, incomplete, inaccurate or is otherwise not complied with, the validity of the opinion described above may be adversely affected. An opinion of counsel is not binding on the IRS or any court. CCAC has not requested, and does not intend to request, a ruling from the IRS as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication. Consequently, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of those set forth below. Accordingly, each U.S. Holder of CCAC Securities is urged to consult its tax advisor with respect to the particular tax consequence of the Domestication to such U.S. Holder.

Based on the expected treatment of the Domestication as an F Reorganization, U.S. Holders of CCAC Securities generally should not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes on the Domestication, except as provided below under the sections entitled “

—3. Effects of Section

367 to U.S. Holders of CCAC Class

A Ordinary Shares

” and “

—5. PFIC Considerations,

” and the Domestication should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as if CCAC (i) transferred all of its assets and liabilities to Quanergy PubCo in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock and warrants of Quanergy PubCo; and (ii) then distributed the common stock and warrants of Quanergy PubCo to the holders of securities of CCAC in liquidation of CCAC. The taxable year of CCAC will be deemed to end on the date of the Domestication.

Subject to the discussion below under the section entitled “

—5. PFIC Considerations,

” if the Domestication fails to qualify as an F Reorganization, a U.S. Holder of CCAC Securities generally would recognize gain or loss with respect to its CCAC Securities in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the fair market value of the corresponding common stock and warrants of Quanergy PubCo received in the Domestication and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its CCAC Securities surrendered.

Because the Domestication will occur prior to the redemption of U.S. Holders that exercise redemption rights with respect to CCAC Class A ordinary shares, U.S. Holders exercising such redemption rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of the Domestication. All U.S. Holders considering exercising redemption rights with respect to CCAC Class A ordinary shares are urged to consult with their tax advisors with respect to the potential tax consequences to them of the Domestication and exercise of redemption rights.

Following the Domestication, a U.S. Holder generally would be required to include in gross income as U.S. source dividend income the amount of any distribution of cash or other property paid on the Quanergy PubCo common stock to the extent the distribution is paid out of Quanergy PubCo’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). U.S. Holders are urged to consult with their tax advisors regarding this and any other tax considerations of owning stock and warrants of a U.S. corporation, i.e., Quanergy PubCo, rather than a

non-U.S.

corporation following the Domestication.

2. Basis and Holding Period Considerations

Based on the expected treatment of the Domestication as an F Reorganization, subject to the discussion below under the section entitled “

—5. PFIC Considerations

”: (i) the tax basis of a share of Quanergy PubCo common stock or Quanergy PubCo warrant received by a U.S. Holder in the Domestication will equal the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the CCAC Class A ordinary share or CCAC warrant surrendered in exchange therefor, increased by any amount included in the income of such U.S. Holder as a result of Section 367 of the Code (as discussed below) and (ii) the holding period for a share of Quanergy PubCo common stock or a Quanergy PubCo warrant received by a U.S. Holder will include such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the CCAC Class A ordinary share or CCAC warrant surrendered in exchange therefor.

If the Domestication fails to qualify as an F Reorganization, the U.S. Holder’s basis in the common stock and warrants of Quanergy PubCo would be equal to the fair market value of such common stock and warrants of Quanergy PubCo on the date of the Domestication, and such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the

212

Table of Contents

such common stock and warrants of Quanergy PubCo would begin on the day following the date of the Domestication. Shareholders who hold different blocks of CCAC Securities (generally, shares of CCAC Securities purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them, and the discussion above does not specifically address all of the consequences to U.S. Holders who hold different blocks of CCAC Securities.

3. Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders of CCAC Class A Ordinary Shares

Section 367 of the Code applies to certain transactions involving foreign corporations, including a domestication of a foreign corporation in a transaction that qualifies as an F Reorganization. Subject to the discussion below under the section entitled “

—E. PFIC Considerations

,” Section 367 of the Code imposes U.S. federal income tax on certain U.S. persons in connection with transactions that would otherwise be

tax-deferred.

Section 367(b) of the Code will generally apply to U.S. Holders on the date of the Domestication. Because the Domestication will occur prior to the redemption of U.S. Holders that exercise redemption rights with respect to their CCAC Class A ordinary shares, U.S. Holders exercising such redemption rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of Section 367 of the Code and the PFIC rules, as discussed below under the section entitled “

—5. PFIC Considerations,

” as a result of the Domestication. Because of the inherently factual nature of the tests under the applicable Treasury Regulations to determine the applicability of Section 367(b) of the Code to any particular U.S. Holder, and the fact that these tests are generally applied based on the relevant facts at the time of the completion of the Domestication, White & Case LLP is unable to opine on the application of Section 367(b) of the Code to a U.S. Holder on the receipt of Quanergy PubCo common stock in exchange for CCAC Class A ordinary shares in the Domestication.

U.S. Holders Whose CCAC Class

A Ordinary Shares Have a Fair Market Value of $50,000 or More and Who Own 10 Percent or More (By Vote or Value) of CCAC Stock

Subject to the discussion below under the section entitled “

—5. PFIC Considerations,

” a U.S. Holder whose CCAC Class A ordinary shares have a fair market value of $50,000 or more on the date of the Domestication and who is a 10% U.S. Shareholder must include in income as a dividend deemed paid by CCAC the “all earnings and profits amount” attributable to the CCAC Class A ordinary shares it directly owns within the meaning of Treasury Regulations under Section 367 of the Code. A U.S. Holder’s ownership of CCAC warrants will be taken into account in determining whether such U.S. Holder is a 10% U.S. Shareholder. Complex attribution rules apply in determining whether a U.S. Holder is a 10% U.S. Shareholder and all U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to these attribution rules.

A 10% U.S. Shareholder’s “all earnings and profits amount” with respect to its CCAC Class A ordinary shares is the net positive earnings and profits of CCAC (as determined under Treasury Regulations under Section 367 of the Code) attributable to such CCAC Class A ordinary shares (as determined under Treasury Regulations under Section 367 of the Code) but without regard to any gain that would be realized on a sale or exchange of such CCAC Class A ordinary shares. Treasury Regulations under Section 367 of the Code provide that the “all earnings and profits amount” attributable to a shareholder’s stock is determined according to the principles of Section 1248 of the Code. In general, Section 1248 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder provide that the amount of earnings and profits attributable to a block of stock (as defined in Treasury Regulations under Section 1248 of the Code) in a foreign corporation is the ratably allocated portion of the foreign corporation’s earnings and profits generated during the period the shareholder held the block of stock.

CCAC does not expect to have significant, if any, cumulative net earnings and profits on the date of the Domestication. If CCAC’s cumulative net earnings and profits through the date of the Domestication is less than or equal to zero, then a 10% U.S. Shareholder should not be required to include in gross income an “all earnings and profits amount” with respect to its CCAC Class A ordinary shares. However, the determination of earnings and profits is a complex determination and may be impacted by numerous factors. It is possible that the amount of CCAC’s cumulative net earnings and profits could be positive through the date of the Domestication, in which case a 10% U.S. Shareholder would be required to include its “all earnings and profits amount” in income as a deemed dividend deemed paid by CCAC under Treasury Regulations under Section 367 of the Code as a result of the Domestication.

Table of Contents

U.S. Holders Whose CCAC Class

A Ordinary Shares Have a Fair Market Value of $50,000 or More But Who Own Less Than 10% (By Vote or Value) of CCAC Stock

Subject to the discussion below under the section entitled “

—5. PFIC Considerations

,” a U.S. Holder whose CCAC Class A ordinary shares have a fair market value of $50,000 or more and who, on the date of the Domestication, is not a 10% U.S. Shareholder will recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to its CCAC Class A ordinary shares in the Domestication or, in the alternative, may elect to recognize the “all earnings and profits” amount attributable to such U.S. Holder’s CCAC Class A ordinary shares as described below.

Subject to the discussion below under the section entitled “—

5. PFIC Considerations,

” unless a U.S. Holder makes the “all earnings and profits election” as described below, such U.S. Holder generally must recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to Quanergy PubCo common stock received in the Domestication in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of such Quanergy PubCo common stock over the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the CCAC Class A ordinary shares deemed surrendered in exchange therefor. U.S. Holders who hold different blocks of CCAC Class A ordinary shares (generally, CCAC Class A ordinary shares purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them.

In lieu of recognizing any gain as described in the preceding paragraph, a U.S. Holder may elect to include in income as a deemed dividend paid by CCAC the “all earnings and profits amount” attributable to its CCAC Class A ordinary shares under Section 367(b) of the Code. There are, however, strict conditions for making this election. This election must comply with applicable Treasury Regulations and generally must include, among other things:

(i)

a statement that the Domestication is a Section 367(b) exchange (within the meaning of the applicable Treasury Regulations);

(ii)

a complete description of the Domestication;

(iii)

a description of any stock, securities or other consideration transferred or received in the Domestication;

(iv)

a statement describing the amounts required to be taken into account for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

(v)

a statement that the U.S. Holder is making the election that includes (A) a copy of the information that the U.S. Holder received from CCAC establishing and substantiating the U.S. Holder’s “all earnings and profits amount” with respect to the U.S. Holder’s CCAC Class A ordinary shares and (B) a representation that the U.S. Holder has notified CCAC (or Quanergy PubCo) that the U.S. Holder is making the election; and

(vi)

certain other information required to be furnished with the U.S. Holder’s tax return or otherwise furnished pursuant to the Code or the Treasury Regulations.

In addition, the election must be attached by an electing U.S. Holder to such U.S. Holder’s timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the year of the Domestication, and the U.S. Holder must send notice of making the election to CCAC or Quanergy PubCo no later than the date such tax return is filed. In connection with this election, CCAC may in its discretion provide each U.S. Holder eligible to make such an election with information regarding CCAC’s earnings and profits upon written request.

CCAC does not expect to have significant, if any, cumulative earnings and profits through the date of the Domestication and if that proves to be the case, U.S. Holders who make this election are not expected to have a significant income inclusion under Section 367(b) of the Code, provided that the U.S. Holder properly executes the election and complies with the applicable notice requirements. However, as noted above, if it were determined that CCAC had positive earnings and profits through the date of the Domestication, a U.S. Holder

214

Table of Contents

that makes the election described herein could have an “all earnings and profits amount” with respect to its CCAC Class A ordinary shares, and thus could be required to include that amount in income as a deemed dividend deemed paid by CCAC under applicable Treasury Regulations as a result of the Domestication.

EACH U.S. HOLDER IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE CONSEQUENCES TO IT OF MAKING AN ELECTION TO INCLUDE IN INCOME THE “ALL EARNINGS AND PROFITS AMOUNT” ATTRIBUTABLE TO ITS CCAC CLASS A ORDINARY SHARES UNDER SECTION 367(b) OF THE CODE AND THE APPROPRIATE FILING REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH AN ELECTION.

U.S. Holders that Own CCAC Class

A Ordinary Shares with a Fair Market Value of Less Than $50,000 and Who Own Less Than 10% (By Vote or Value) of CCAC Stock

A U.S. Holder who is not a 10% U.S. Shareholder and whose CCAC Class A ordinary shares have a fair market value of less than $50,000 on the date of the Domestication should not be required to recognize any gain or loss or include any part of the “all earnings and profits amount” in income under Section 367 of the Code in connection with the Domestication. However, such U.S. Holder may be subject to taxation under the PFIC rules as discussed below under the section entitled “

ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE EFFECT OF SECTION 367 OF THE CODE TO THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

5. PFIC Considerations

Regardless of whether the Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization (and, if the Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization, in addition to the discussion under the section entitled “

—3. Effects of Section

367 to U.S. Holders of CCAC Class

A Ordinary Shares

” above), the Domestication could be a taxable event to U.S. Holders under the PFIC provisions of the Code if CCAC is considered a PFIC.

Definition of a PFIC

A foreign (i.e.,

non-U.S.)

corporation will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes if either (i) at least 75% of its gross income in a taxable year, including its pro rata share of the gross income of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, is passive income or (ii) at least 50% of its assets in a taxable year (generally determined based on fair market value and averaged quarterly over the year), including its pro rata share of the assets of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, are held for the production of, or produce, passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active

215

Table of Contents

conduct of a trade or business received from unrelated persons) and gains from the disposition of passive assets. The determination of whether a foreign corporation is a PFIC is made annually. Pursuant to a “startup exception,” a foreign corporation will not be a PFIC for the first taxable year the foreign corporation has gross income (the “startup year”) if (1) no predecessor of the foreign corporation was a PFIC; (2) the foreign corporation satisfies the IRS that it will not be a PFIC for either of the first two taxable years following the startup year; and (3) the foreign corporation is not in fact a PFIC for either of those years.

PFIC Status of CCAC

Based upon the composition of its income and assets, and upon a review of its financial statements, CCAC believes that it likely will not be eligible for the startup exception and therefore likely has been a PFIC since its first taxable year and will likely be considered a PFIC for the taxable year which ends as a result of the Domestication. However, because of the inherently factual nature of the determination, and because the determination is an annual one based on income and assets of CCAC in each year, White & Case LLP is unable to opine on CCAC’s PFIC status for any taxable year.

Effects of PFIC Rules on the Domestication

Even if the Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization, Section 1291(f) of the Code requires that, to the extent provided in Treasury Regulations, a U.S. person who disposes of stock of a PFIC (including for this purpose exchanging warrants of a PFIC for newly issued warrants in connection with a domestication transaction) recognizes gain notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. No final Treasury Regulations are currently in effect under Section 1291(f) of the Code. However, proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code have been promulgated with a retroactive effective date. If finalized in their current form, those proposed Treasury Regulations would require gain recognition to U.S. Holders of CCAC Class A ordinary shares and CCAC warrants as a result of the Domestication if:

(i)

CCAC were classified as a PFIC at any time during such U.S. Holder’s holding period in such CCAC Class A ordinary shares or CCAC warrants; and

(ii)

the U.S. Holder had not timely made (a) a QEF Election (as defined below) for the first taxable year in which the U.S. Holder owned such CCAC Class A ordinary shares or in which CCAC was a PFIC, whichever is later (or a QEF Election along with a purging election), or (b) an MTM Election (as defined below) with respect to such CCAC Class A ordinary shares. Currently, applicable Treasury Regulations provide that neither a QEF Election nor an MTM Election can be made with respect to warrants.

The tax on any such recognized gain would be imposed based on a complex set of computational rules designed to offset the tax deferral with respect to the undistributed earnings of CCAC. Under these rules:

•

the U.S. Holder’s gain will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for such U.S. Holder’s CCAC Class A ordinary shares or CCAC warrants;

•

the amount of gain allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which the U.S. Holder recognized the gain, or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holding period before the first day of the first taxable year in which CCAC was a PFIC, will be taxed as ordinary income;

•

the amount of gain allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in such U.S. Holder’s holding period would be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the U.S. Holder; and

•

an additional tax equal to the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the U.S. Holder in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year (described in the third bullet above) of such U.S. Holder.

216

Table of Contents

In addition, the proposed Treasury Regulations provide coordinating rules with Section 367(b) of the Code, whereby, if the gain recognition rule of the proposed Treasury Regulations applied to a disposition of PFIC stock that results from a transfer with respect to which Section 367(b) requires the U.S. Holder to recognize gain or include an amount in income as a deemed dividend deemed paid by CCAC, the gain realized on the transfer is taxable as an excess distribution under these rules, and the excess, if any, of the amount to be included in income under Section 367(b) over the gain realized under these rules is taxable as provided under Section 367(b). See the discussion above under the section entitled “

—3. Effects of Section

367 to U.S. Holders of CCAC Class

A Ordinary Shares.

”

It is difficult to predict whether, in what form and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code may be adopted or how any such final Treasury Regulations would apply. Therefore, U.S. Holders of CCAC Class A ordinary shares that have not made a timely and effective QEF Election (or a QEF Election along with a purging election) or an MTM Election (each as defined below) may, pursuant to the proposed Treasury Regulations, be subject to taxation under the PFIC rules on the Domestication with respect to their CCAC Class A ordinary shares and CCAC warrants under the PFIC rules in the manner set forth above. A U.S. Holder that made a timely and effective QEF Election (or a QEF Election along with a purging election) or an MTM Election with respect to its CCAC Class A ordinary shares is referred to herein as an “Electing Shareholder” and a U.S. Holder that is not an Electing Shareholder is referred to herein as a

“Non-Electing

Shareholder.” Due to the uncertainty regarding the application of Section 1291(f) of the Code, White & Case LLP is unable to opine on the application of the PFIC rules to a U.S. Holder on the receipt of Quanergy PubCo common stock in exchange for CCAC Class A ordinary shares in the Domestication.

The application of the PFIC rules to U.S. Holders of CCAC warrants is unclear. Proposed Treasury Regulations issued under the PFIC rules generally treats an “option” (which would include a CCAC warrant) to acquire the stock of a PFIC as stock of the PFIC, while final Treasury Regulations issued under the PFIC rules provides that the QEF Election does not apply to options and no MTM Election (as defined below) is currently available with respect to options. Therefore, it is possible that the proposed Treasury Regulations if finalized in their current form would apply to cause gain recognition on the exchange of CCAC warrants for Quanergy PubCo warrants pursuant to the Domestication.

Any gain recognized by a

Non-Electing

Shareholder of CCAC Class A ordinary shares or a U.S. Holder of CCAC warrants as a result of the Domestication pursuant to PFIC rules would be taxable income to such U.S. Holder and taxed under the PFIC rules in the manner set forth above, with no corresponding receipt of cash.

As noted above, the Domestication could be a taxable event under the PFIC rules regardless of whether the Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization if CCAC is considered a PFIC. If the Domestication fails to qualify as an F Reorganization, absent a QEF Election (or a QEF Election along with a purging election) or an MTM Election, a U.S. Holder would be taxed under the PFIC rules in the manner set forth above.

ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE EFFECTS OF THE PFIC RULES ON THE DOMESTICATION, INCLUDING THE IMPACT OF ANY PROPOSED OR FINAL TREASURY REGULATIONS.

QEF Election and

Mark-to-Market

Election

The impact of the PFIC rules on a U.S. Holder of CCAC Class A ordinary shares will depend on whether the U.S. Holder has made a timely and effective election to treat CCAC as a “qualified electing fund” under Section 1295 of the Code for the taxable year that is the first year in the U.S. Holder’s holding period of CCAC Class A ordinary shares during which CCAC qualified as a PFIC (a “QEF Election”) or, if in a later taxable year, the U.S. Holder made a QEF Election along with a purging election. A purging election creates a deemed sale of the U.S. Holder’s CCAC Class A ordinary shares at their then fair market value and requires the U.S. Holder to recognize gain pursuant to the purging election subject to the special PFIC tax and interest charge rules described

217

Table of Contents

above. As a result of any such purging election, the U.S. Holder would increase the adjusted tax basis in its CCAC Class A ordinary shares by the amount of the gain recognized and, solely for purposes of the PFIC rules, would have a new holding period in its CCAC Class A ordinary shares. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the application of the rules governing purging elections to their particular circumstances.

A U.S. Holder’s ability to make a timely and effective QEF Election (or a QEF Election along with a purging election) with respect to CCAC is contingent upon, among other things, the provision by CCAC of a “PFIC Annual Information Statement” to such U.S. Holder. CCAC will endeavor to provide PFIC Annual Information Statements, upon written request, to U.S. Holders of CCAC Class A ordinary shares with respect to each taxable year for which CCAC determines it is a PFIC. There is no assurance, however, that CCAC will timely provide such information. As discussed further above, a U.S. Holder is not able to make a QEF Election with respect to CCAC warrants under applicable final Treasury Regulations. An Electing Shareholder generally would not be subject to the adverse PFIC rules discussed above with respect to their CCAC Class A ordinary shares. As a result, such an Electing Shareholder generally should not recognize gain or loss as a result of the Domestication except to the extent described under “

—C. Effects of Section

367 to U.S. Holders of CCAC Class

A Ordinary shares—1. Generally

” and subject to the discussion above under “

—Tax A. Tax Effects of the Domestication to U.S. Holders,

” but rather would include annually in gross income its pro rata share of the ordinary earnings and net capital gain of CCAC, whether or not such amounts are actually distributed.

The impact of the PFIC rules on a U.S. Holder of CCAC Class A ordinary shares may also depend on whether the U.S. Holder has made a

mark-to-market

election under Section 1296 of the Code. U.S. Holders who hold (actually or constructively) stock of a foreign corporation that is classified as a PFIC may annually elect to mark such stock to its market value if such stock is “marketable stock,” generally, stock that is regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the SEC, including the NYSE (an “MTM Election”). No assurance can be given that the CCAC Class A ordinary shares are considered to be marketable stock for purposes of the MTM Election or whether the other requirements of this election are satisfied. If such an election is available and has been made, such U.S. Holders will generally not be subject to the adverse PFIC rules discussed herein with respect their CCAC Class A ordinary shares in connection with the Domestication. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its CCAC Class A ordinary shares at the end of its taxable year over its adjusted basis in its CCAC Class A ordinary shares. The U.S. Holder also will recognize an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of its adjusted basis in its CCAC Class A ordinary shares over the fair market value of its CCAC Class A ordinary shares at the end of its taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the MTM Election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in its CCAC Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts, and any further gain recognized on a sale or other taxable disposition of its CCAC Class A ordinary shares will be treated as ordinary income. However, if the MTM Election is not made by a U.S. Holder with respect to the first taxable year of its holding period for the PFIC stock, then the Section 1291 rules discussed above will apply to certain dispositions of, distributions on and other amounts taxable with respect to CCAC Class A ordinary shares, including in connection with the Domestication. An MTM Election is not available with respect to warrants, including the CCAC warrants.

THE RULES DEALING WITH PFICS ARE VERY COMPLEX AND ARE IMPACTED BY VARIOUS FACTORS IN ADDITION TO THOSE DESCRIBED ABOVE, INCLUDING THE APPLICATION OF THE RULES ADDRESSING OVERLAPS IN THE PFIC RULES AND THE SECTION 367(b) RULES AND THE RULES RELATING TO CONTROLLED FOREIGN CORPORATIONS. ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE PFIC RULES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WHETHER A QEF ELECTION (OR A QEF ELECTION ALONG WITH A PURGING ELECTION), AN MTM ELECTION OR ANY OTHER ELECTION IS AVAILABLE AND WHETHER AND HOW ANY OVERLAP RULES APPLY, AND THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF ANY SUCH ELECTION OR OVERLAP RULE AND THE IMPACT OF ANY PROPOSED OR FINAL PFIC TREASURY REGULATIONS.

Tax Effects to U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights

1. Generally

The U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder of CCAC Class A ordinary shares (which will be exchanged for Quanergy PubCo common stock in the Domestication) that exercises its redemption rights with respect to its CCAC Class A ordinary shares to receive cash in exchange for all or a portion of its Quanergy PubCo common stock received in the Domestication will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock under Section 302 of the Code. If the redemption qualifies as a sale of shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock by a U.S. Holder, the tax consequences to such U.S. Holder are as described below under the section entitled “

—3. Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Sale of Quanergy PubCo

common stock.”

If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock, a U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution with the tax consequences to such U.S. Holder as described below under the section entitled

“—2. Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Distribution.”

Whether a redemption of shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total number of shares of Quanergy PubCo stock treated as held by the redeemed U.S. Holder before and after the redemption (including any Quanergy PubCo stock constructively owned by the U.S. Holder as a result of owning Quanergy PubCo warrants and any Quanergy PubCo stock that a U.S. Holder would directly or indirectly acquire pursuant to the Business Combination or the PIPE Investment) relative to all of the Quanergy PubCo stock outstanding both before and after the redemption. The redemption of Quanergy PubCo common stock generally will be treated as a sale of Quanergy PubCo common stock (rather than as a corporate distribution) if the redemption (1) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the U.S. Holder, (2) results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. Holder’s interest in Quanergy PubCo or (3) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the U.S. Holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

In determining whether any of the foregoing tests result in a redemption qualifying for sale treatment, a U.S. Holder takes into account not only shares of Quanergy PubCo stock actually owned by the U.S. Holder, but also shares of Quanergy PubCo stock that are constructively owned by it under certain attribution rules set forth in the Code. A U.S. Holder may constructively own, in addition to stock owned directly, stock owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the U.S. Holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. Holder, as well as any stock that the holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include Quanergy PubCo common stock which could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of Quanergy PubCo warrants. Moreover, any Quanergy PubCo stock that a U.S. Holder directly or constructively acquires pursuant to the Business Combination or the PIPE Investment generally should be included in determining the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the redemption.

In order to meet the substantially disproportionate test, the percentage of Quanergy PubCo’s outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder immediately following the redemption of shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock must, among other requirements, be less than eighty percent (80%) of the percentage of Quanergy PubCo’s outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder immediately before the redemption (taking into account both redemptions by other holders of Quanergy PubCo common stock and the Quanergy PubCo common stock to be issued pursuant to the Business Combination or the PIPE Investment). There will be a complete termination of a U.S. Holder’s interest if either (1) all of the shares of Quanergy PubCo stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed or (2) all of the shares of Quanergy PubCo stock actually owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed and the U.S. Holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of stock owned by certain family members and the U.S. Holder does not constructively own any other shares of Quanergy PubCo stock (including any stock constructively owned by the U.S. Holder as a result of owning Quanergy PubCo warrants). The redemption of Quanergy PubCo common stock will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if the redemption results in a “meaningful reduction” of the U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in Quanergy PubCo. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in Quanergy PubCo will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the

219

Table of Contents

IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation where such stockholder exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.”

If none of the foregoing tests is satisfied, then the redemption of shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock will be treated as a corporate distribution to the redeemed U.S. Holder and the tax effects to such a U.S. Holder will be as described below under the section entitled “

—2. Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Distribution.

” After the application of those rules, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. Holder in the redeemed Quanergy PubCo common stock will be added to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining Quanergy PubCo stock, or, if it has none, to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Quanergy PubCo warrants or possibly in other Quanergy PubCo stock constructively owned by it.

Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Distribution

If the redemption of a U.S. Holder’s shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock is treated as a corporate distribution, as discussed above under the section entitled “

—1. Generally

,” the amount of cash received in the redemption generally will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from Quanergy PubCo’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of Quanergy PubCo’s current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale of Quanergy PubCo common stock and will be treated as described below under the section entitled “

—3. Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Sale of Quanergy PubCo common stock.

”

Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Sale of Quanergy PubCo common stock

If the redemption of a U.S. Holder’s shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock is treated as a sale, as discussed above under the section entitled “

—1. Generally

,” a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received in the redemption and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock redeemed. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period for the Quanergy PubCo common stock so disposed of exceeds one year. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. holders generally will be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

U.S. Holders who hold different blocks of Quanergy PubCo common stock (including as a result of holding different blocks of CCAC Class A ordinary shares purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them.

Because the Domestication will occur prior to the redemption of U.S. Holders that exercise redemption rights, U.S. Holders exercising redemption rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of Section 367 of the Code and the PFIC rules as a result of the Domestication (discussed further above).

U.S. Holders who actually or constructively own at least five percent (5%) (or, if Quanergy PubCo common stock is not then publicly traded, at least one percent (1%)) or more of Quanergy PubCo common stock may be subject to special reporting requirements with respect to a redemption of Quanergy PubCo common stock, and such holders should consult with their tax advisors with respect to their reporting requirements.

ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF A REDEMPTION OF ALL OR A PORTION OF THEIR QUANERGY PUBCO COMMON STOCK PURSUANT TO AN EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS.

4. Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Payments of cash to a U.S. Holder as a result of the redemption of Quanergy PubCo common stock may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and possible U.S. backup withholding. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes other required certifications, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding and establishes such exempt status.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, and the U.S. Holder generally may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by timely filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information.

II.

NON-U.S.

HOLDERS

As used herein, a

“Non-U.S.

Holder” is a beneficial owner of a CCAC Security who or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•

non-resident

alien individual, other than certain former citizens and residents of the United States subject to U.S. tax as expatriates;

•

a foreign corporation; or

•

an estate or trust that is not a U.S. Holder.

A. Effects of the Domestication to

Non-U.S.

Holders

The Domestication is not expected to result in any U.S. federal income tax consequences to

Non-U.S.

Holders of CCAC Securities.

The following describes U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the ownership and disposition of Quanergy PubCo common stock and Quanergy PubCo warrants by a

Non-U.S.

Holder after the Domestication.

B. Distributions

In general, any distributions (including constructive distributions, but not including certain distributions of Quanergy PubCo stock or rights to acquire Quanergy PubCo stock) made to a

Non-U.S.

Holder of shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock, to the extent paid out of Quanergy PubCo’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, provided such dividends are not effectively connected with the

Non-U.S.

Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States, Quanergy PubCo will be required to withhold tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of 30%, unless such

Non-U.S.

Holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form

W-8BEN

W-8BEN-E).

In the case of any constructive dividend, it is possible that this tax would be withheld from any amount owed to a

Non-U.S.

Holder by the applicable withholding agent, including cash distributions on other property or sale proceeds from warrants or other property subsequently paid or credited to such

Non-U.S.

Holder. Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the

Non-U.S.

Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the

Non-U.S.

Holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of the Quanergy PubCo common stock, which will be treated as described under “

—C. Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Quanergy PubCo common stock and Warrants

” below.

The withholding tax generally does not apply to dividends paid to a

Non-U.S.

Holder who provides a Form

W-8ECI,

certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the

Non-U.S.

Holder’s conduct of a

221

Table of Contents

trade or business within the United States. Instead, the effectively connected dividends will be subject to regular U.S. federal income tax as if the

Non-U.S.

Holder were a U.S. resident, subject to an applicable income tax treaty providing otherwise. A corporate

Non-U.S.

Holder receiving effectively connected dividends may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” imposed at a rate of 30% (or a lower applicable treaty rate).

Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Quanergy PubCo common stock and Warrants

Non-U.S.

Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax in respect of gain recognized on a sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of its Quanergy PubCo common stock or Quanergy PubCo warrants (including an expiration or redemption of the Quanergy PubCo warrants as described under “

—D. Exercise, Lapse or Redemption of a Quanergy PubCo Warrant

”, or a redemption of Quanergy PubCo common stock that is treated as a sale or exchange as described under “

—E. Effects to

Non-U.S.

Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights

”), unless:

(i)

the gain is effectively connected with the conduct by the

Non-U.S.

Holder of a trade or business within the United States (and, under certain income tax treaties, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the

Non-U.S.

Holder);

(ii)

such

Non-U.S.

Holder is an individual who was present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of such disposition (as such days are calculated pursuant to Section 7701(b)(3) of the Code) and certain other requirements are met; or

(iii)

Quanergy PubCo is or has been a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the period that the

Non-U.S.

Holder held Quanergy PubCo common stock and, in the case where shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock are “regularly traded” on an “established securities market,” as such terms are defined under applicable Treasury Regulations, the

Non-U.S.

Holder has owned, directly or constructively, more than five percent (5%) of Quanergy PubCo common stock or more than five percent (5%) of the total fair market value of Quanergy PubCo warrants (provided such warrants are considered to be “regularly traded) at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the redemption or such

Non-U.S.

Holder’s holding period for the shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock. There can be no assurance that Quanergy PubCo common stock or Quanergy PubCo warrants are or have been treated as regularly traded on an established securities market for this purpose. It is unclear how the rules for determining the 5% threshold for this purpose would be applied with respect to Quanergy PubCo common stock or Quanergy PubCo warrants, including how a

Non-U.S.

Holder’s ownership of Quanergy PubCo warrants impacts the 5% threshold determination with respect to Quanergy PubCo common stock and whether the 5% threshold determination with respect to Quanergy PubCo warrants must be made with or without reference to the private placement warrants. In addition, special rules may apply in the case of a disposition of Quanergy PubCo warrants if Quanergy PubCo common stock is considered to be regularly traded, but Quanergy PubCo warrants are not considered to be regularly traded. While we do not believe that Quanergy is a United States real property holding corporation, and we do not expect Quanergy PubCo to become a United States real property holding corporation for the foreseeable future, there can be no assurance regarding Quanergy PubCo’s future status as a United States real property holding corporation.

Unless an applicable treaty provides otherwise, gain described in the first bullet point above will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates as if the

Non-U.S.

Holder were a U.S. resident. Any gains described in the first bullet point above of a corporate

Non-U.S.

Holder may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a thirty percent (30%) rate (or a lower applicable income tax treaty rate). If the second bullet point applies to a

Non-U.S.

Holder, such

Non-U.S.

Holder will be subject to U.S. tax on such

Non-U.S.

Holder’s net capital gain for such year (including any gain realized in connection with the redemption) at a tax rate of thirty percent (30%).

222

Table of Contents

If the third bullet point above applies to a

Non-U.S.

Holder, gain recognized by such holder will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, Quanergy PubCo may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax at a rate of fifteen percent (15%) of the amount realized upon such redemption. It is not expected that Quanergy PubCo would be a United States real property holding corporation after the Domestication or immediately after the Business Combination is completed. However, such determination is factual in nature and subject to change and no assurance can be provided as to whether Quanergy PubCo would be treated as a United States real property holding corporation in any future year.

D. Exercise, Lapse or Redemption of a Quanergy PubCo Warrant

Non-U.S.

Holder generally will not recognize taxable gain or loss on the acquisition of Quanergy PubCo common stock upon exercise of a Quanergy PubCo warrant for cash. The

Non-U.S.

Holder’s tax basis in the share of Quanergy PubCo common stock received upon exercise of the Quanergy PubCo warrant generally will be an amount equal to the sum of the

Non-U.S.

Holder’s initial investment in the Quanergy PubCo warrant and the exercise price. It is unclear whether the

Non-U.S.

Holder’s holding period for the Quanergy PubCo common stock received upon exercise of the Quanergy PubCo warrants will begin on the date following the date of exercise or on the date of exercise of the Quanergy PubCo warrants; in either case, the holding period will not include the period during which the

Non-U.S.

Holder held the Quanergy PubCo warrants. If a Quanergy PubCo warrant is allowed to lapse unexercised, a

Non-U.S.

Holder generally will recognize a capital loss equal to such holder’s tax basis in the Quanergy PubCo warrant and generally will be taxed as described above under “—

C. Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Quanergy PubCo

common stock and Warrants

.”

The tax consequences of a cashless exercise of a Quanergy PubCo warrant are not clear under current tax law. A cashless exercise may not be taxable, either because the exercise is not a realization event or because the exercise is treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In either situation, a

Non-U.S.

Holder’s basis in the Quanergy PubCo common stock received would equal the holder’s basis in the Quanergy PubCo warrants exercised therefor. If the cashless exercise were treated as not being a realization event, it is unclear whether a

Non-U.S.

Holder’s holding period in the Quanergy PubCo common stock would be treated as commencing on the date following the date of exercise or on the date of exercise of the Quanergy PubCo warrant; in either case, the holding period would not include the period during which the

Non-U.S.

Holder held the Quanergy PubCo warrants. If the cashless exercise were treated as a recapitalization, the holding period of the Quanergy PubCo common stock would include the holding period of the Quanergy PubCo warrants exercised therefor.

It is also possible that a cashless exercise could be treated in part as a taxable exchange in which gain or loss would be recognized. In such event, a

Non-U.S.

Holder could be deemed to have surrendered a number of warrants equal to the number of shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock having a value equal to the exercise price for the total number of warrants to be exercised. In such case, the consequences would be similar to those described above in “—

C. Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Quanergy PubCo

common stock and Warrants

.” It is unclear whether a

Non-U.S.

Holder’s holding period for the Class A common stock would commence on the date following the date of exercise or on the date of exercise of the warrant; in either case, the holding period would not include the period during which the

Non-U.S.

Holder held the warrant.

Due to the absence of authority on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a cashless exercise, including when a

Non-U.S.

Holder’s holding period would commence with respect to the Quanergy PubCo common stock received, there can be no assurance regarding which, if any, of the alternative tax consequences and holding periods described above would be adopted by the IRS or a court of law. Accordingly,

Non-U.S.

Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of a cashless exercise.

If we redeem Quanergy PubCo warrants for cash or if we purchase Quanergy PubCo warrants in an open market transaction, such redemption or purchase generally will be treated as a taxable disposition to the

Non-U.S.

Holder, taxed as described above under “—

C. Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Quanergy PubCo

common stock and Warrants

.”

223

Non-U.S.

Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the exercise, lapse, or redemption of a Quanergy PubCo warrant.

E. Tax Effects to

Non-U.S.

Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights

The U.S. federal income tax consequences to a

Non-U.S.

Holder of CCAC Class A ordinary shares that exercises its redemption rights to receive cash from the trust account in exchange for all or a portion of its Quanergy PubCo common stock received in the Domestication will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of the Quanergy PubCo common stock redeemed, as described above under “

I. U.S. Holders—B. Tax Effects to U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights—1. Generally

.” If such a redemption qualifies as a sale of Quanergy PubCo common stock, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to the

Non-U.S.

Holder will be as described above under “

—C. Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Quanergy PubCo common stock and Warrants.

” If such a redemption does not qualify as a sale of Quanergy PubCo common stock, the

Non-U.S.

Holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of which are described above under “

—B. Distributions

.”

Because it may not be certain at the time a

Non-U.S.

Holder is redeemed whether such

Non-U.S.

Holder’s redemption will be treated as a sale of shares or a corporate distribution, and because such determination will depend in part on a

Non-U.S.

Holder’s particular circumstances, the applicable withholding agent may not be able to determine whether (or to what extent) a

Non-U.S.

Holder is treated as receiving a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Therefore, the applicable withholding agent may withhold tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on the gross amount of any consideration paid to a

Non-U.S.

Holder in redemption of such

Non-U.S.

Holder’s Quanergy PubCo common stock, unless (i) the applicable withholding agent has established special procedures allowing

Non-U.S.

Holders to certify that they are exempt from such withholding tax and (ii) such

Non-U.S.

Holders are able to certify that they meet the requirements of such exemption (e.g., because such

Non-U.S.

Holders are not treated as receiving a dividend under the Section 302 tests described above under the section entitled “

I. U.S. Holders—B. Tax Effects to U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights—1. Generally

”). However, there can be no assurance that any applicable withholding agent will establish such special certification procedures. If an applicable withholding agent withholds excess amounts from the amount payable to a

Non-U.S.

Holder, such

Non-U.S.

Holder generally may obtain a refund of any such excess amounts by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.

Non-U.S.

Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the foregoing rules in light of their particular facts and circumstances and any applicable procedures or certification requirements.

F. Possible Constructive Distributions

The terms of each Quanergy PubCo warrant provide for an adjustment to the number of shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock for which the Quanergy PubCo warrant may be exercised or to the exercise price of the warrant in certain events. An adjustment which has the effect of preventing dilution generally is not taxable. A

Non-U.S.

Holder of the Quanergy PubCo warrants would, however, be treated as receiving a constructive distribution from Quanergy PubCo if, for example, the adjustment increases the warrant holders’ proportionate interest in Quanergy PubCo’s assets or earnings and profits (for example, through an increase in the number of shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock that would be obtained upon exercise or through a decrease in the exercise price of the Quanergy PubCo warrant), which adjustment may be made as a result of a distribution of cash or other property, such as other securities, to the holders of shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock, or as a result of the issuance of a stock dividend to holders of shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock, in each case, which is taxable to the holders of such shares as a distribution. Such constructive distribution would be subject to tax as described under “

B. Distributions

” in the same manner as if the

Non-U.S.

Holders of the warrants received a cash distribution from Quanergy PubCo equal to the fair market value of such increased interest.

224

G. Information Reporting Requirements and Backup Withholding

Information returns will be filed with the IRS in connection with payments of dividends and the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of Quanergy PubCo common stock and Quanergy PubCo warrants. A

Non-U.S.

Holder may have to comply with certification procedures to establish that it is not a U.S. person in order to avoid information reporting and backup withholding requirements. The certification procedures required to claim a reduced rate of withholding under a treaty generally will satisfy the certification requirements necessary to avoid the backup withholding as well. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a

Non-U.S.

Holder will be allowed as a credit against such Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such

Non-U.S.

Holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

H. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

Provisions commonly referred to as “FATCA” impose withholding of 30% on payments of dividends (including constructive dividends) on Quanergy PubCo common stock and Quanergy PubCo warrants to “foreign financial institutions” (which is broadly defined for this purpose and in general includes investment vehicles) and certain other

non-U.S.

entities unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by U.S. persons of interests in or accounts with those entities) have been satisfied by, or an exemption applies to, the payee (typically certified as to by the delivery of a properly completed IRS Form

W-8BEN-E).

Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. Under certain circumstances, a

Non-U.S.

Holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such withholding taxes, and a

Non-U.S.

Holder might be required to file a U.S. federal income tax return to claim such refunds or credits. Thirty percent withholding under FATCA was scheduled to apply to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of property that produces U.S.-source interest or dividends beginning on January 1, 2019, but on December 13, 2018, the IRS released proposed regulations that, if finalized in their proposed form, would eliminate the obligation to withhold on gross proceeds. Such proposed regulations also delayed withholding on certain other payments received from other foreign financial institutions that are allocable, as provided for under final Treasury Regulations, to payments of U.S.-source dividends, and other fixed or determinable annual or periodic income. Although these proposed Treasury Regulations are not final, taxpayers generally may rely on them until final Treasury Regulations are issued.

Non-U.S.

Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effects of FATCA on their ownership and disposition of Quanergy PubCo common stock and warrants.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Introduction

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 requires pro forma adjustments that depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and allows optional pro forma adjustments that present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”).

CCAC and Quanergy are collectively referred to herein as the “Companies,” and the Companies, subsequent to the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment, are referred to herein as “Quanergy PubCo.”

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 combines the historical balance sheet of CCAC and the historical balance sheet of Quanergy on a pro forma basis as if the Business Combination and related transactions, summarized below, had been consummated on June 30, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020 combines the historical statements of operations of CCAC and Quanergy for such periods on a pro forma basis as if the Business Combination and related transactions, summarized below, had been consummated on January 1, 2020, the beginning of the earliest period presented:

•

The merger of Merger Sub, the wholly owned subsidiary of CCAC, with and into Quanergy, with Quanergy as the surviving company;

•

The PIPE Investment and related adjustments;

•

All outstanding shares of Quanergy convertible preferred stock will be cancelled and converted into shares of common stock of Quanergy PubCo (all preferred stock except for Series B and Series C will be cancelled and convertred using ratio of 4.0045; Series B and Series C will be converted using ratios determined in accordance with terms of the Merger Agreement);

•

All outstanding shares of Quanergy common stock will be cancelled and converted into shares of Quanergy PubCo using a conversion ratio of 4.0045 calculated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement;

•

The conversion of Quanergy’s outstanding stock options, Restricted Stock (“RSAs”) and Restricted Stock Unit Awards (“RSUs”) and warrants, into stock options, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit Awards and warrants of Quanergy PubCo;

•

The repayment of Quanergy’s indebtedness under the Note Financing Agreement issued in 2018 (the “2022 Secured Notes”);

•

The conversion of the Note Financing Agreement issued in 2020 (the “2023 Notes) and 2021 (the “Extension Notes”, and together with 2023 Notes, referred to as the “Unsecured Notes”) into Quanergy common stock that will be converted into shares of common stock of Quanergy PubCo;

•

All outstanding CCAC Class A and Class B ordinary shares will be cancelled and converted into shares of common stock of Quanergy PubCo;

•

Issuance of common stock warrant to Sensata Technology Inc. in accordance with collaborative arrangement for consulting services for three years.

The historical financial information of CCAC was derived from the audited financial statements of CCAC as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and from the unaudited financial statements of CCAC as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2021, included elsewhere in this proxy statement / prospectus. The historical financial information of Quanergy was derived from the audited financial statements of Quanergy as of and for

226

Table of Contents

the year ended December 31, 2020 and from the unaudited financial statements of Quanergy as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2021, included elsewhere in this proxy statement / prospectus. This information should be read together with CCAC’s and Quanergy’s unaudited and audited financial statements and related notes, the sections titled “CCAC’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and “Quanergy’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and other financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement / prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been presented for illustrative purposes only and do not necessarily reflect what Quanergy PubCo’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the Business Combination occurred on the dates indicated. The pro forma combined financial information also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of Quanergy PubCo. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors. The unaudited pro forma adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed.

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Under this method of accounting, CCAC will be treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Quanergy issuing shares for the net assets of CCAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of CCAC will be recognized at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements contained herein assumes that CCAC’s stockholders approve the Business Combination. CCAC’s public stockholders may elect to redeem their shares of Class A ordinary shares for cash even if they approve the Business Combination. CCAC cannot predict how many of its public stockholders will exercise their right to have their Class A ordinary shares redeemed for cash. As a result, Quanergy PubCo has elected to provide the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information under three different redemption scenarios below, which produce different allocations of total Quanergy PubCo equity between holders of the CCAC ordinary shares. As described in greater detail below in Basis of Presentation, the first scenario, or “no redemption scenario,” assumes that none of CCAC’s public stockholders will exercise their right to have their shares of CCAC Class A ordinary shares redeemed for cash, the second, or “Interim redemption scenario” assumes that 50% of holders of maximum number of public shares that could be redeemed for cash while still leaving sufficient cash available to consummate the Business Combination, will exercise their right to have their public shares redeemed for cash and lastly the third scenario, or “maximum redemption scenario,” assumes that holders of the maximum number of public shares that could be redeemed for cash while still leaving sufficient cash available to consummate the Business Combination, will exercise their right to have their public shares redeemed for cash.

The actual results will be within the parameters described by the three scenarios. However, there can be no assurance regarding which scenario will be closest to the actual results.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. Description of the Business Combination

In June 2021, CCAC and Merger Sub, the wholly owned subsidiary of CCAC, entered into the Merger Agreement with Quanergy. CCAC will change its jurisdiction of incorporation by deregistering as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and continuing and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”), upon which CCAC will change its name to “Quanergy Systems, Inc.” Immediately after the Domestication, Merger Sub will merge with and into Quanergy, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease, and Quanergy will be the surviving company in the Merger, and a wholly owned subsidiary of CCAC (the “Merger”). Following the closing, CCAC will change its name to “Quanergy Systems, Inc.” (referred to herein, together with its subsidiaries, as “Quanergy PubCo”), with Quanergy Stockholders holding the majority of the common stock of Quanergy PubCo.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the aggregate stock consideration issued by Quanergy PubCo in the Business Combination will be $1.2 billion, $1.2 billion and $1.1 billion, consisting of 123,611,187, 116,518,202 and 109,425,216 newly issued shares, under the no redemptions, interim redemption and maximum redemption scenarios, respectively, of Quanergy PubCo valued at $10.00 per share. Under all three scenarios, Quanergy Stockholders will receive $970.0 million in the form of 97,000,000 newly issued shares of Quanergy PubCo (including certain convertible equity securities calculated on a treasury stock method basis). CCAC stockholders will continue to hold 34,500,000 of existing shares assuming no redemptions, and the PIPE Investors will purchase 4,000,000 newly issued shares at $10.00 per share. The following summarizes consideration to Quanergy at closing of the Business Combination.


Shares issued at Closing (1)(2)(3)		97,000,000
Value per share		10.00

Total Share Consideration (4)	$	970.0

(1)

The number of shares presently expected to be issued to Quanergy Stockholders upon consummation of the Business Combination include (i) 58,464,388 shares of common stock of Quanergy PubCo, issued for the outstanding shares of Quanergy (ii) 13,999,770 shares of common stock of Quanergy PubCo issued for the conversion of the Unsecured Notes, at the Effective Time; (iii) 12,647,029 shares of common stock of Quanergy PubCo issued for shares of Quanergy common stock underlying the warrants, at the Effective Time; (iv) 11,888,814 shares of common stock of Quanergy PubCo reserved to be issued as vested and unvested options and RSUs for Quanergy options and RSUs, in each case, calculated on a treasury stock method.

(2)	12,647,029 shares of common stock of Quanergy PubCo represent potential shares of common stock exercisable for nominal consideration, therefore, deemed to be issued and outstanding.

(3)	The number of shares presently expected to be issued to Quanergy Stockholders (calculated on a treasury stock method basis) upon consummation of the Business Combination.

(4)

Share consideration is calculated using a $10.00 reference price. The actual total value of share consideration will be dependent on the value of the common stock at Closing; however, no change is expected from any change in CCAC Class A common stock’s trading price on the pro forma financial statements as the Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization.

The value of share consideration issuable at the Closing is determined by application of the Exchange Ratio of 4.0045 (except for Series B and Series C preferred stock, which will be exchanged at the ratio in accordance with terms of the Merger Agreement), which is based on the implied $10.00 per share prior to the Business Combination. The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, therefore any change in the Exchange Ratio will not impact the pro forma financial statements because Quanergy will account for the acquisition of CCAC based on the amount of net assets acquired upon consummation.

2. Basis of Presentation

Quanergy has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:

•

Quanergy’s stockholders will have majority of the voting power under both the no redemption and maximum redemption scenarios;

•

Quanergy appoints the majority of the board of directors of Quanergy PubCo;

•

Quanergy’s existing management will comprise the management of Quanergy PubCo;

•

Quanergy will comprise the ongoing operations of Quanergy PubCo;

•

Quanergy is the larger entity based on historical revenues and business operations;

•

Quanergy PubCo will assume Quanergy’s name.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 assumes that the Business Combination occurred on June 30, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 and six months ended June 30, 2021 presents the pro forma effect of the Business Combination as if it had been completed on January 1, 2020. These periods are presented on the basis of Quanergy being the accounting acquirer.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

•

CCAC’s unaudited balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 and the related notes for the six months ended June 30, 2021, included elsewhere in this proxy statement / prospectus; and

•

Quanergy’s unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 and the related notes for the six months ended June 30, 2021, included elsewhere in this proxy statement / prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction, with the following:

•

CCAC’s unaudited statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the related notes, included elsewhere in this proxy statement / prospectus; and

•

Quanergy’s unaudited statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the related notes, included elsewhere in this proxy statement / prospectus.

Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”). As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings, or cost savings that may be associated with the Business Combination.

235

Table of Contents

The unaudited condensed pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Business Combination taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of Quanergy PubCo. They should be read in conjunction with the unaudited and audited financial statements and notes thereto of each of CCAC and Quanergy included elsewhere in this proxy statement / prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect the income tax effects of the pro forma adjustments. Quanergy PubCo’ management believes this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to not be meaningful given Quanergy PubCo incurred significant losses during the historical periods presented.

Pursuant to CCAC’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, CCAC’s public stockholders may demand that CCAC redeem their shares of Class A ordinary shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated, irrespective of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination. If a public stockholder properly demands redemption of their shares, CCAC will redeem each share for cash equal to the public stockholder’s pro rata portion of the Trust Account.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared assuming three alternative levels of cash redemptions of CCAC’s common stock:

•

Assuming No Redemptions

: This scenario assumes that no CCAC’s public stockholder exercises redemption rights with respect to its shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account.

•

Assuming Interim Redemptions

: This scenario assumes that CCAC’s public stockholders holding 7,093,329 of CCAC’s public shares exercise their redemption rights and that such shares are redeemed for their pro rata share ($10.07 per share) of the funds in the Trust Account for aggregate redemption proceeds of $71.4 million.

•

Assuming Maximum Redemptions

: This scenario assumes that CCAC’s public stockholders holding 14,186,659 of CCAC’s public shares exercise their redemption rights and that such shares are redeemed for their pro rata share ($10.07 per share) of the funds in the Trust Account for aggregate redemption proceeds of $142.9 million.

The following summarizes the pro forma common stock ownership on June 30, 2021 under each of these scenarios:


	Assuming No Redemptions (Shares)		% Ownership			Assuming Interim Redemptions (Shares)		% Ownership			Assuming Maximum Redemptions (Shares)		% Ownership
Quanergy stockholders		97,000,000		71.6	%		97,000,000		75.5	%		97,000,000		80.0	%
PIPE Investors		4,000,000		3.0	%		4,000,000		3.1	%		4,000,000		3.3	%
CCAC Class A ordinary shares (1)		27,600,000		20.4	%		20,506,671		16.0	%		13,413,341		11.1	%
CCAC Class B ordinary shares		6,900,000		5.1	%		6,900,000		5.4	%		6,900,000		5.7	%

Pro Forma common stock outstanding at June 30, 2020		135,500,000					128,406,671					121,313,341

(1)	Reflects no, interim and maximum redemptions of nil, 7,093,329 and 14,186,659 shares, respectively. The maximum redemption amount is derived considering the minimum cash requirement of $175.0 million.

3. Accounting Policies

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, management will perform a comprehensive review of the two entities’ accounting policies. As a result of the review, management may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two entities which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of Quanergy PubCo.

4. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

The transaction accounting adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 are as follows:

(A)	Reflects the reclassification of cash and cash equivalents held in CCAC’s Trust Account that becomes available and to reflect that the cash equivalents are available to effectuate the transaction in connection with the Business Combination.

(B)

Reflects the payment of transaction costs incurred by CCAC and Quanergy in 2021 including, but not limited to, preliminary estimated advisory, legal, accounting fees and other professional fees that will be paid in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. The acquisition-related transaction costs are accounted for as equity issuance costs and the unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet reflects these costs as a reduction of cash with a corresponding decrease to additional paid in capital. As of June 30, 2021, CCAC and Quanergy had accrued approximately $2.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively, with such amounts reflected in accounts payable and other current liabilities, and Quanergy had capitalized $1.8 million deferred transaction costs reflected in other long-term assets.

(C)	Reflects the settlement of deferred underwriting fees incurred during CCAC’s IPO due upon completion of the Business Combination.

(D)

Reflects the proceeds of $40.0 million from the issuance and sale of 4.0 million shares of common stock at $10.00 per share pursuant to the PIPE Investment. The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet reflects the conversion with a corresponding increase of $40.0 million to additional paid in-capital and an increase of less than $0.1 million to Quanergy PubCo common stock.

(E)

Reflects cash settlement of the outstanding principal amount of $25.5 million for the 2022 Secured Notes and $9.4 million of accrued interest. The adjustment of $2.7 million to accumulated deficit reflects the loss upon extinguishment of the 2022 Secured Notes based on the payoff amount of $35.3 million, compared to the book value of the debt which totaled $32.4 million, net of debt discount, and the settlement of derivative liability totaling $0.1 million.

(F)

Reflects a charge of $25.0 million to additional paid-in capital for warrants issued to an external advisor for future services to be provided under a collaboration agreement, with a corresponding increase of $8.3 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $16.7 million in other long-term assets. The deferred cost is expected to be amortized over the three-year service period.

(G)

Reflects the conversion of the outstanding debt balance totaling $22.3 million (net of debt discount totaling $46.1 million) including accrued interest of $3.6 million of Quanergy’s Unsecured Notes, and related debt derivative liability of $45.9 million, immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination into shares of Quanergy common stock (and subsequently to Quanergy PubCo common stock) at two times the value of the face value of notes plus accrued interest, in accordance with terms of settlement provisions included in the convertible note agreement. Due to these settlement terms, Quanergy remeasured the associated derivative liability, resulting in the recognition of an expense of $84.5 million which is recorded as an adjustment to accumulated deficit. The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet reflects the conversion with a corresponding increase of $136.7 million to additional paid in-capital and an increase of less than $0.1 million to Quanergy PubCo common stock.

237

Table of Contents

(H)

Reflects the reclassification of $14.6 million of warrant liabilities associated with CCAC’s public warrants to additional paid-in capital. Upon the consummation of the merger, Quanergy PubCo will have a single class equity structure, and the public warrants are expected to qualify as equity instruments under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The final determination of the accounting for the public warrants will be determined by the accounting acquirer after the consummation of the merger.

(I)

Reflects the conversion of Quanergy’s convertible preferred stock immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination into Quanergy PubCo’s common stock. The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet reflects the conversion with a corresponding increase of $153.0 million to additional paid in-capital and an increase of less than $0.1 million to Quanergy PubCo common stock.

(J)

Reflects the reclassification of historical CCAC’s Class A ordinary stock subject to possible redemption from temporary equity into permanent equity immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet reflects the conversion with a corresponding increase of $237.4 million to additional paid in-capital and an increase of less than $0.1 million to Quanergy PubCo common stock.

(K)	Reflects recapitalization of shares of Quanergy common stock and CCAC Class A ordinary shares to Quanergy PubCo common stock.

(L)	Reflects the conversion of CCAC Class B ordinary shares to CCAC Class A ordinary shares pursuant to terms of the Merger Agreement.

(M)	Reflects the reclassification of CCAC’s historical retained earnings to additional paid-in-capital in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination.

(N)

Reflects stock-based compensation expense of approximately $48.8 million associated with performance RSUs granted to employees and non-employees. The performance condition is deemed to be probable of being met upon consummation of the Business Combination, resulting in Quanergy PubCo recognizing a one-time catch-up expense.

(O)

Reflects the payment that could be made to redeeming CCAC public stockholders, that would leave sufficient cash to satisfy the minimum cash requirement. The interim- amount of redemptions assumed is 7,093,329 shares of Class A ordinary shares redeemed for $71.4 million allocated to Quanergy PubCo Common Stock and additional paid-in capital, using a par value of $0.0001 per share at a redemption price of $10.07 per share (based on the fair value of marketable securities held in the Trust Account as of June 30, 2021 of $277.9 million).

(P)

Reflects the payment that could be made to redeeming CCAC public stockholders, that would leave sufficient cash to satisfy the minimum cash requirement. The maximum amount of redemptions assumed is 14,186,659 shares of Class A ordinary shares redeemed for $142.9 million allocated to Quanergy PubCo Common Stock and additional paid-in capital, using a par value of $0.0001 per share at a redemption price of $10.07 per share (based on the fair value of marketable securities held in the Trust Account as of June 30, 2021 of $277.9 million).

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations

The transaction accounting adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the six months ended June 30, 2021 are as follows:

(AA)	Reflects the elimination of historical interest income earned on CCAC’s Trust Account.

(BB)	Reflects the reversal of the historical interest expense recorded related to Quanergy’s 2022 Secured Notes and Unsecured Notes, which have been settled and converted, respectively, upon consummation of the Business Combination.

238

Table of Contents

(CC)	Reflects the reversal of the historical interest expense related to Quanergy’s 2023 Notes, which shall automatically convert into shares of Quanergy PubCo at the rate of 50% of the share price, upon consummation of the Business Combination.

(DD)	Reflects the stock-based compensation associated with performance RSUs, post achievement of the performance condition in accordance with the vesting conditions of the awards. The performance condition is deemed to be probable of being met upon consummation of the Business Combination.

(EE)	Reflects incremental expense pertaining to retention plan bonus payout for certain employees that was triggered by the consummation of the Business Combination.

(FF)	Reflects the expense recognized related to vesting of warrants issued to an external advisor in exchange for a collaboration agreement through which the advisor will support Quanergy’s product and market development activities for both the IoT and automotive markets.

(GG)	Reflects the elimination of the change in valuation of warrant liabilities associated with CCAC’s public warrants, upon the reclassification of such warrants from liability to equity classified instruments.

(HH)	Reflects elimination of impact of the historical remeasurement of derivative liabilities for 2022 Notes and 2023 Notes for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

(II)

Reflects accretion of debt discount and the remeasurement gains and losses of Quanergy’s 2022 Secured Notes and Unsecured Notes derivative liabilities upon the automatic settlement and conversion of the Quanergy’s 2022 Secured Notes and Unsecured Notes, respectively, simultaneously with the consummation of the Business Combination.

(JJ)	Reflects the remeasurement gains and losses of Quanergy’s 2023 Notes related derivative liabilities upon the automatic conversion of Quanergy’s 2023 Notes into shares of Quanergy PubCo at the rate of 50% of the share price, simultaneously with the consummation of the Business Combination.

5. Loss per share

Represents the net loss per share calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding, and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Business Combination, assuming the shares were outstanding since January 1, 2020. As the Business Combination is being reflected as if it had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the shares issuable relating to the Business Combination have been outstanding for the entire periods presented. When assuming the redemption scenarios described above, this calculation is adjusted to eliminate such shares for the entire periods. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared assuming no redemption, interim redemption, and maximum redemption scenario for the year ended December 31, 2020 and six months ended June 30, 2021 (

INFORMATION ABOUT CCAC

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to CCAC prior to the consummation of the Business Combination

General

CITIC Capital Acquisition Corp. is a blank check company incorporated on September 9, 2019 as a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability and incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. CCAC has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue to date. Based on CCAC’s business activities, it is a “shell company” as defined under the Exchange Act because it has no operations and nominal assets consisting almost entirely of cash.

Significant Activities Since Inception

On November 14, 2019, the Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per CCAC Class B ordinary share, to cover certain offering costs in consideration for 5,750,000 CACC Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001. The CCAC Class B ordinary shares included an aggregate of up to 900,000 CCAC Class B ordinary shares that were subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment was not exercised in full or in part, so that the number of CCAC Class B ordinary shares would collectively represent 20% of CCAC’s issued shares upon the completion of the initial public offering.

On February 13, 2020, the Company sold 27,600,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, including 3,600,000 Units issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one CCAC Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per CCAC Class A ordinary share and

one-half

of one redeemable warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of$11.50 per CCAC Class A ordinary share, subject to adjustment. Concurrently with the closing of the initial public offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 7,520,000 warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant.

Following the closing of CCAC’s initial public offering, a total of $276 million ($10.00 per unit) of the net proceeds from its initial public offering and the sale of the private placement warrants was placed in the trust account. The proceeds held in the trust account may be invested by the trustee only in U.S. government treasury bills, notes or bonds with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under

Rule 2a-7

under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. As of June 30, 2021 there was $277,859,656 in investments and cash held in the Trust Account and $126,622 of cash held outside the Trust Account available for working capital purposes. These funds will remain in the trust account, except for the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, if any, until the earliest of (1) the completion of a business combination (including the closing of the Business Combination), (2) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend CCAC’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (as may be amended from time to time, the “Cayman Constitutional Documents”) to modify the substance or timing of CCAC’s obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if it does not complete a business combination by February 13, 2022, and (3) the redemption of all of the public shares if CCAC is unable to complete a business combination by February 13, 2022, subject to applicable law.

As of June 30, 2021, the underwriter had exercised its over-allotment option in full, hence, there were no CCAC Class B ordinary shares subject to forfeiture. Accordingly, as of the date of this proxy statement / prospectus, there are 6,900,000 CCAC Class B ordinary shares issued.

On April 12, 2021, the Acting Director of the Division of Corporation Finance and Acting Chief Accountant of the SEC together issued the SEC Statement. Specifically, the SEC Statement focused on certain settlement

241

Table of Contents

terms and provisions related to certain tender offers following a business combination, which terms are similar to those contained in the warrant agreement governing our warrants. As a result of the SEC Statement, CCAC reevaluated the accounting treatment of CCAC’s 13,800,000 public warrants and 7,520,000 private placement warrants, and determined to classify the warrants as derivative liabilities measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings. As a result, CCAC have included on CCAC’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 contained elsewhere in this proxy statement / prospectus are derivative liabilities related to our warrants. See “

Risk Factors—Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities in our financial statements and the changes in value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.

”

The CCAC units, CCAC Class A ordinary shares and CCAC warrants are currently listed on the NYSE under the symbols “CCAC,” “CCAC.U” and “CCAC WS,” respectively.

Effecting CCAC’s Initial Business Combination

General

CCAC is not presently engaged in and CCAC will not engage in, any substantive commercial business until it completes the Business Combination with Quanergy or another target business.

Fair Market Value of Target Business

The rules of the NYSE require that CCAC must consummate an initial business combination with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the trust account (excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount held in trust) at the time of CCAC’s signing a definitive agreement in connection with its initial business combination. The CCAC Board determined that this test was met in connection with the proposed Business Combination.

Shareholder Approval of Business Combination

CCAC is seeking shareholders approval of the Business Combination at the extraordinary general meeting, at which shareholders may elect to redeem their shares, regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the BCA Proposal, into their pro rata portion of the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us (net of taxes payable). CCAC will consummate the Business Combination only if we have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation and the Condition Precedent Proposals are approved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such public shareholder or any other person with whom such public shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the public shares. Accordingly, if a public shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 20% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 20% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

The Sponsor and each director and each officer of CCAC have

agreed

to, among other things, vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, in the case of the Sponsor, subject also to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Sponsor Support Agreement, and waive its redemption rights in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination with respect to any ordinary shares held by them. The ordinary shares held by the Sponsor will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the

per-share

redemption price. As of the date of this proxy statement / prospectus, the Sponsor owns 20% of the issued ordinary shares.

At any time at or prior to the Business Combination, during a period when they are not then aware of any material

non-public

information regarding us or CCAC’s securities, the Sponsor, Quanergy PubCo or our or their

242

Table of Contents

directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may purchase public shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the Condition Precedent Proposals, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares or vote their public shares in favor of the Condition Precedent Proposals. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record holder of CCAC’s shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor, Quanergy PubCo or their directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholder would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of (1) satisfaction of the requirement that holders of a majority of the ordinary shares, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, vote in favor of the BCA Proposal, the Stock Issuance Proposal, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, (2) satisfaction of the requirement that holders of a majority of at least

two-thirds

of the ordinary shares, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the quorate extraordinary general meeting, vote in favor of the Domestication Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposal, (3) satisfaction of the requirement that the Minimum Available Cash Amount condition is satisfied, (4) otherwise limiting the number of public shares electing to redeem and (5) CCAC’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with

Rule 3a51-1(g)(1)

of the Exchange Act) being at least $5,000,001.

Liquidation if No Business Combination

If CCAC has not completed the Business Combination with Quanergy PubCo by February 13, 2022 and has not completed another business combination by such date, in each case, as such date may be extended pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, CCAC will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the 27,600,000 public shares, at a

per-share

price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest will be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of CCAC’s remaining shareholders and its board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Sponsor has entered into a letter agreement with CCAC, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their CCAC Class B ordinary shares if CCAC fails to complete its business combination within the required time period. However, if Sponsor owns any public shares, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to such public shares if CCAC fails to complete its business combination within the allotted time period.

The Sponsor and CCAC’s directors and officers have agreed, pursuant to a written agreement with CCAC, that they will not propose any amendment to the Cayman Constitutional Documents (A) to modify the substance or timing of CCAC’s obligation to allow for redemption in connection with CCAC’s initial business combination or to redeem 100% of its public shares if it does not complete its business combination by February 13, 2022 or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or

pre-initial

business combination activity, unless CCAC provides its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares upon approval of any such amendment at a

per-share

price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (which interest will be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. However, CCAC may not redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 following such redemptions.

243

Table of Contents

CCAC expects that all costs and expenses associated with implementing its plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts held outside the trust account, although it cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose. However, if those funds are not sufficient to cover the costs and expenses associated with implementing CCAC’s plan of dissolution, to the extent that there is any interest accrued in the trust account not required to pay taxes, CCAC may request the trustee to release to us an additional amount of up to $100,000 of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses.

The proceeds deposited in the trust account could, however, become subject to the claims of CCAC’s creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of CCAC’s public shareholders. CCAC cannot assure you that the actual

per-share

redemption amount received by public shareholders will not be substantially less than $10.00. See “

Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination—If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.00 per share (which was the offering price in CCAC’s initial public

offering)

” and other risk factors contained herein. While CCAC intend to pay such amounts, if any, CCAC cannot assure you that CCAC will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.

Although CCAC will seek to have all vendors, service providers (other than CCAC’s independent auditors), prospective target businesses and other entities with which CCAC does business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account for the benefit of CCAC’s public shareholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the trust account including but not limited to fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with respect to a claim against CCAC’s assets, including the funds held in the trust account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the trust account, CCAC’s management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver only if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative. Examples of possible instances where CCAC may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where CCAC is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason. Upon redemption of CCAC’s public shares, if CCAC has not completed CCAC’s initial business combination within the required time period, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with CCAC’s initial business combination, CCAC will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against us within the ten years following redemption. In order to protect the amounts held in the trust account, Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than CCAC’s independent auditors) for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which CCAC has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below (i) $10.00 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the trust account and except as to any claims under CCAC’s indemnity of the underwriters of CCAC’s initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, then the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. CCAC has not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and CCAC believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of CCAC and, therefore, the Sponsor may not be able to satisfy those obligations. None of CCAC’s other directors or officers will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

Table of Contents

In the event that the proceeds in the trust account are reduced below (i) $10.00 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, and the Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, CCAC’s independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While CCAC currently expects that CCAC’s independent directors would take legal action on CCAC’s behalf against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that CCAC’s independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance. Accordingly, CCAC cannot assure you that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the

per-share

redemption price will not be substantially less than $10.00 per public share. See “

” and other risk factors contained herein.

CCAC will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the trust account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than CCAC’s independent auditors), prospective target businesses and other entities with which CCAC does business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the trust account. The Sponsor will also not be liable as to any claims under CCAC’s indemnity of the underwriters of the initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

If CCAC files a

winding-up

or bankruptcy petition or an involuntary

winding-up

or bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable insolvency law, and may be included in CCAC’s insolvency estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of CCAC’s shareholders. To the extent any insolvency claims deplete the trust account, CCAC cannot assure you CCAC will be able to return $10.00 per public share to CCAC’s public shareholders. Additionally, if CCAC files a

winding-up

or bankruptcy petition or an involuntary

winding-up

or bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or insolvency laws as a voidable performance. As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by CCAC’s shareholders. Furthermore, the CCAC Director may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to CCAC’s creditors or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and us to claims of punitive damages, by paying public shareholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. CCAC cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons. See “

Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and CCAC—If, after we distribute the

proceeds in the trust account to our public shareholders, CCAC files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover such proceeds, and we and our board of directors may be exposed to claims of punitive damages

.”

CCAC’s public shareholders will be entitled to receive funds from the trust account only upon the earliest to occur of: (1) CCAC’s completion of an initial business combination, and then only in connection with those CCAC Class A ordinary shares that such shareholder properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described herein; (2) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Cayman Constitutional Documents (A) to modify the substance or timing of CCAC’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with CCAC’s initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if CCAC does not complete CCAC’s initial business combination by February 13, 2022 or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or

pre-initial

business combination activity; and (3) the redemption of the public shares if CCAC has not completed an initial business combination by February 13, 2022, subject to applicable law. In no other circumstances will a shareholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust account. Holders of CCAC warrants will not have any right to the proceeds held in the trust account with respect to the CCAC warrants.

Facilities

CCAC currently maintains its executive offices at 28/F CITIC Tower, 1 Tim Mei Avenue, Central, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China. The cost for this space is included in the $10,000 per month fee that CCAC pays the Sponsor for office space, administrative and support services. CCAC considers its current office space, adequate for CCAC’s current operations.

Employees

CCAC currently has two officers: Mr. Fanglu Wang and Mr. Eric Chan. Members of CCAC’s management team are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to CCAC’s matters but they intend to devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to CCAC’s affairs until CCAC has completed CCAC’s initial business combination. The amount of time that any members of CCAC’s management team will devote in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for CCAC’s business combination and the current stage of the Business Combination process. CCAC does not intend to have any full time employees prior to the completion of our initial business combination.

Competition

If CCAC succeeds in effecting the Business Combination, there will be, in all likelihood, significant competition from Quanergy’s competitors. CCAC cannot assure you that, subsequent to the Business Combination, Quanergy PubCo will have the resources or ability to compete effectively. Information regarding Quanergy PubCo’s competition is set forth in the sections entitled “

Director Independence

The rules of the NYSE require that a majority of the CCAC’s Board be independent. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person that, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, has no material relationship with the listed company (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company).

Audit committee members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule

10A-3

under the Exchange Act, and the listing standards of the NYSE and applicable SEC rules. In addition, members of CCAC’s compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth under the listing standards of the NYSE and applicable SEC rules.

The CCAC Board has determined that each of Mr. Henri Arif, Mr. Ross Haghighat and Mr. Mark B. Segall is an “independent director” under applicable SEC and the NYSE rules.

CCAC’s independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

Executive Officer and Director Compensation

None of CCAC’s directors or executive officers have received any cash compensation for services rendered to CCAC. Commencing on February 10, 2020 through the earlier of the consummation of CCAC’s initial business combination and CCAC’s liquidation, CCAC accrues an obligation to an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services. The Sponsor, directors and executive officers, or any of their respective affiliates are reimbursed for any

out-of-pocket

expenses related to identifying, investigating, negotiating and completing an initial business combination. CCAC’s audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by CCAC to the Sponsor, directors, executive officers or CCAC or any of their affiliates.

CCAC is not party to any agreements with its directors or officers that provide for benefits upon termination of employment. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements may influence CCAC’s management’s motivation in identifying or selecting a target business and CCAC does not believe that the ability of its management to remain with it after the consummation of its initial business combination should be a determining factor in its decision to proceed with any business combination.

Legal Proceedings

As of the date of this proxy statement / prospectus, there is no material litigation, arbitration or governmental proceeding currently pending or to CCAC’s knowledge, threatened against us or any members of CCAC’s management team in their capacity as such.

Periodic Reporting and Audited Financial Statements

CCAC has registered its securities under the Exchange Act and has reporting obligations, including the requirement to file annual and quarterly reports with the SEC. In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, CCAC’s annual reports contain financial statements audited and reported on by CCAC’s independent registered public accounting firm. CCAC has filed with the SEC its amended Annual Report on Form

CCAC’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement / prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations, estimates and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that may affect our future operating results or financial position. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the sections entitled “

Risk Factors

” and “

Forward-Looking Statements

” appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement / prospectus.

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to CCAC prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated on September 9, 2019 as a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated with limited liability and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of our initial public offering and the private placement of warrants to purchase our CCAC Class A ordinary shares that also occurred on the closing date of our initial public offering, our shares, debt or a combination of these as the consideration to be paid in our initial business combination.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from September 9, 2019 (inception) through June 30, 2021 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for our initial public offering, described below, and the Company’s search for a target business with which to complete a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial business combination. We generate small amounts of

non-operating

income in the form of interest income on cash and investments. We are incurring expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with completing a business combination. We expect our expenses to increase substantially after this period.

We recognize

non-cash

gains and losses within other income (expense) related to changes in recurring fair value measurement of our warrant liabilities at each reporting period. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we had a net loss of $10,506,796, which was comprised of operating costs of $562,220, warrant issuance costs of $1,044,453, unrealized loss on changes in fair value of warrant liabilities of $7,813,200, excess of the fair value of the private placement warrants over the cash received of 2,932,800, interest and dividend income of $488,766 from investments in our trust account, and realized gain from sale of treasury securities of $1,357,111. The operating expenses were primarily due to fees to professionals such as the auditors, legal counsel and consultants, and insurance expense.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net income of $9,895,145, which was comprised of operating costs of $3,763,435, interest income of $13,780 from investments in our trust account, and $13,644,800 of unrealized gain on fair value changes of warrants. The operating expenses were primarily due to fees to professionals such as the auditors, legal counsel and consultants, and insurance expense.

We will pay our Sponsor $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services provided to members of our management team. Upon completion of the Business Combination or our

249

Table of Contents

liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees. For the year ended December 31, 2020, CCAC incurred $105,862 and paid $75,862 under such arrangement. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, CCAC incurred $60,000 of administrative services under such arrangement.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Until the consummation of our initial public offering, the Company’s only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of ordinary shares by the Sponsor and loans from the Sponsor.

On February 13, 2020, we consummated our initial public offering of 27,600,000 units, at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $276,000,000. Concurrently with the closing of the initial public offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 7,520,000 warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $7,520,000.

Following our initial public offering, and the sale of the private placement warrants, a total of $276,000,000 was placed in the trust account. We paid $5,520,000 in underwriting discounts and recorded approximately $521,000 for other costs and expenses related to the initial public offering.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, we disbursed an aggregate of $513,000 out of the proceeds of the initial public offering not held in the Trust Account for legal and accounting fees and filing fees relating to our SEC reporting obligations and general corporate matters, and miscellaneous operating expenses.

As of June 30, 2021, we had cash and marketable securities held in the trust account of $277,859,656. As of June 30, 2021, we had $126,622 in cash outside the Trust Account available for working capital needs and $2,839,039 in accounts payable and accrued expenses and amounts due to related parties of $385,366. All cash and securities held in the Trust Account are generally unavailable for our use, prior to an initial business combination, and is restricted for use either in a business combination or to redeem ordinary shares. As of June 30, 2021, none of the amount in the trust account was available to be withdrawn.

We believe that we have sufficient available funds outside of the Trust Account, to operate through February 13, 2022, assuming that an initial business combination is not consummated during that time. Until consummation of the initial business combination, we will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account, and any additional working capital loans from the initial shareholders, our officers and directors, or their respective affiliates, for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating its business. However, if our estimates of the costs of undertaking

in-depth

due diligence and negotiating business combination is less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to the Business Combination. Moreover, we will need to raise additional capital through loans from our Sponsor, officers, directors, or third parties. None of the Sponsor, officers or directors are under any obligation to advance funds to, or to invest in us. If the we are unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of its business plan, and reducing overhead expenses. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such initial business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to

250

Table of Contents

us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

Off-Balance

Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered

off-balance

sheet arrangements. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating

off-balance

sheet arrangements.

We have not entered into any

off-balance

sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or entered into any

non-financial

agreements involving assets.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities other than an administrative agreement to pay our Sponsor $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services provided to members of our management team, from the date of closing of our initial public offering. Upon completion of a business combination or CCAC’s liquidation, CCAC will cease paying these monthly fees.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

Offering Costs

We comply with the requirements of Accounting Codification (“ASC”)

340-10-S99-1

and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5 A, “Expenses of Offering.” Offering costs consist of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs that are directly related to the initial public offering. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the initial public offering based on a relative fair value basis compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with warrant liabilities are expensed at the time of the initial public offering closing. Offering costs amounting to $1,044,453 were allocated to the public warrants and expensed, offering costs amounting to $14,661,607 were charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the initial public offering.

Redeemable Ordinary Shares

All 27,600,000 CCAC Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the units in our initial public offering contain a redemption feature under which holders of CCAC Class A ordinary shares may, two business days prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, redeem their CCAC Class A ordinary shares for a

per-share

price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account but not previously released to CCAC to fund its working capital requirements (subject to an annual limit of $250,000) and/or to pay taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding CCAC Class A ordinary shares. In accordance with ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”), redemption provisions not solely within an entity’s control require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of an entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. Although we did not specify a maximum

251

Table of Contents

redemption threshold, our charter provides that in no event will we redeem our CCAC Class A ordinary shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets, or total shareholders’ equity, to fall below $5,000,001. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2021, 23,737,477 of the 27,600,000 CCAC Class A ordinary shares were classified outside of permanent equity.

Net Income (Loss) per Share

Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to ordinary shares by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. CCAC has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the initial public offering and private placement to purchase an aggregate of 7,520,000 CCAC Class A ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted income per share, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share is the same as basic net income (loss) per ordinary share for the period. CCAC’s statements of operations includes a presentation of net income (loss) per share for ordinary shares subject to redemption in a manner similar to the

two-class

method. Net income per ordinary share, basic and diluted for CCAC Class A ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, less applicable income tax expense and funds available to be withdrawn from the Trust Account for working capital purposes (up to a maximum of $250,000 annually) by the weighted average number of CCAC Class A ordinary shares since initial issuance. Net loss per ordinary share, basic and diluted for CCAC Class B ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the net income, less income attributable to CCAC Class A ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of CCAC Class B ordinary shares outstanding for the period.

Warrant Liabilities

We account for the warrants issued in connection with our initial public offering in accordance with

ASC 815-40,

“Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASC 815”), under which the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity classification and must be recorded as liabilities. As the warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, the warrants are measured at fair value at inception and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, with changes in fair value recognized in the Statement of Operations in the period of change.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the

if-converted

method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Our Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

INFORMATION ABOUT QUANERGY

Our Mission

Our mission is to design and deliver innovative 3D sensing solutions for automotive and Internet of Things applications to enable increased levels of automation and intelligence to ultimately save lives, energy, time, money and space.

Company Overview

We are a leading provider of LiDAR and three dimensional, or 3D, perception software solutions. LiDAR, which is an acronym for Light Detection and Ranging, is a real-time sensing technology that determines the shape and contour of physical objects in the environment using a technique known as time of flight, which measures the time a laser beam travels to and from a specific object. 3D perception software interprets measurement data from LiDAR sensors, known as a point cloud, and translates that information into a rich data set, such as the type of objects detected (e.g., people, vehicles), location in space, direction and speed of movement. Our LiDAR and 3D perception software solutions are designed to provide visualization and automation of applications in a wide range of industries, leading to greater efficiency, safety and improved operational outcomes. We believe LiDAR and 3D perception technologies have the potential to fundamentally transform how machines interact with humans, unleashing new levels of productivity, and in the process, creating significant revenue potential for LiDAR solution suppliers like us. According to third-party estimates aligned with our own, the global LiDAR market is forecasted to reach $27.3 billion by 2030.

We currently focus on two broad market categories—automotive and Internet of Things, or IoT. IoT refers to a network of physical objects that are embedded with sensors, software and communications capabilities for the purpose of connecting and exchanging data with other devices and systems over the Internet. Our current

IoT-related

markets of focus include mapping, security, smart cities and industrial automation. These applications generally operate in real-time and have high-value, mission-critical characteristics. Within the automotive market, we focus primarily on the opportunity to automate high volume passenger vehicles, but we also include within this category the automation of robo-taxis, shuttles, trucks and

off-road

vehicles. We have a balanced business strategy focused on both the IoT market, which exists at scale today, and the automotive market, which is more nascent and is expected to scale over time. We see LiDAR and 3D perception as platform capabilities that are applicable broadly, and for that reason, we expect to enter additional market verticals in the future.

Our foundational LiDAR platform is based on optical phased array, or OPA, technology. This approach is referred to as solid state, because it has no moving parts and is built on a semiconductor technology and manufacturing process known as complementary metal oxide semiconductor, or CMOS. The operating principal of an

OPA-based

LiDAR is to use an array of miniature antennae to create spatial interference which is electronically controlled to form and steer beams of light. Because our

OPA-based

sensors have no moving parts, the design is extremely reliable and highly immune to vibrations. Our OPA operates in a manner that is analogous to phased array radar systems that have become the standard in the automotive industry. Our OPA employs a combination of semiconductor and optical technologies, known as silicon photonics, packaged onto a small, photonic integrated circuit. By leveraging a mature CMOS semiconductor production approach, we expect that the cost of our OPA can be significantly reduced over time. We believe that our

OPA-based

LiDAR can be the winning solid state architecture for the automotive industry because it is designed to deliver electronic beam steering, ultra-high reliability and can take advantage of the scalability of the semiconductor supply chain to achieve a low price point required by the automotive sector. Our OPA technology forms the basis for our S Series of solid state LiDAR sensors.

We also offer a portfolio of solutions designed to address the needs of IoT applications, including our M Series LiDAR sensors and our QORTEX 3D perception software platform. Our M Series of sensors utilize a

253

Table of Contents

traditional mechanical scanning design to deliver a 360 degree field of view required for many IoT applications. We believe our M Series offers industry leading range, accuracy, resolution and field of view compared to competitive offerings. Our QORTEX platform is designed to enable highly accurate 3D object detection, tracking and classification, fusing of LiDAR data with other sensing technologies and simple integrations with third-party systems and business applications. We also plan to offer QORTEX Insights, a suite of complementary software analytics and dashboards and QORTEX Aware, an embedded software application that enables collision avoidance and object detection. We believe our ability to mix and match the optimal hardware-software combination to meet our customers’ perception and automation needs is unique in the industry.

We have sold our products to over 350 customers to date. Our IoT solutions are sold globally through a network of channel partners, including value added resellers, or VARs, systems integrators, or SIs, distributors and strategic partners. In the smart cities sector, we partner with Cisco Systems, Inc., among others. In the security sector, we partner with Genetec Inc. and Milestone Systems A/S, among others. Our engagement with automotive OEMs and tier one suppliers is done directly and through our partnership with Sensata Technologies Holdings plc (“Sensata”), one of our investors. We have also received investments from other automotive and IoT industry leaders, including Aptiv PLC, Daimler AG, Enterprise Holdings, Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.

Industry Outlook

Our market opportunity is fueled by two major industry trends—autonomous vehicles and the Internet of Things. We believe these trends are driving a global LiDAR market that could reach $27.3 billion by 2030, based on third-party estimates aligned with ours. The automotive segment is expected to be the largest market for LiDAR products over the long-term, although we do not expect the market to begin scaling until at least 2025, because autonomous vehicle timelines have been delayed and the price-performance of LiDAR sensors needs to improve to meet auto OEM requirements. The IoT LiDAR market is expected to be larger than the automotive LiDAR market at least through 2030, because IoT markets are already well established. We focus on the following segments of the global LiDAR market:

•

Automotive

. With nine out of ten serious roadway crashes resulting from human error (according to a national survey of police-reported crashes) advanced driver-assistance systems, or ADAS, and autonomous vehicle, or AV, technologies have the potential to save thousands of lives and increase consumer convenience. AV technologies are applicable to a range of vehicles, including passenger cars, ride sharing vehicles, shuttles and commercial trucks. Regulators, governmental agencies and other public entities are focused on reaching an era of crash-free roadways to reduce deaths and injuries related to vehicle accidents, as well as improving access to transportation, reducing traffic congestion, minimizing vehicle emissions and potentially increasing productivity and improving quality of life for millions of people through the deployment of ADAS and AV technologies. Industry experts have suggested that LiDAR technology is well positioned to provide a vehicle’s primary sensory input given its long range, high accuracy and ability to operate in almost all weather conditions. Consequently, the development of a cost-effective and reliable LiDAR sensor is seen as a critical element for achieving highly automated levels of driving. We believe the primary success factors for LiDAR sensors in the automotive market are cost (priced less than $500 per sensor to support high volume vehicle production), performance (greater than 200 meter range at 10% reflectivity, with

zoom-in

and

zoom-out

capabilities) and a highly robust design that can withstand harsh roadway conditions (greater than 100,000 hours of mean time between failure, or MTBF). We expect the automotive market will become the largest market for LiDAR sensors over the long-term. Based on third-party estimates aligned with ours, we believe the LiDAR market for automotive applications could reach $10.6 billion by 2030. In addition, the market for

off-highway

applications (e.g., vehicles for agriculture, construction, mining) could reach $2.2 billion by 2030—a market we categorize within our IoT segment.

254

•

Mapping

. LiDAR sensors are used to efficiently collect 3D mapping data using both aerial and terrestrial collection methods. Aerial mapping is enabled by mounting LiDAR sensors on drones and aircraft, while terrestrial mapping is based on sensor data collected by land-based vehicles. LiDAR based mapping is used in a variety of applications, including urban planning, maintenance of critical infrastructure, land surveying, building and power line inspection and archeology. In the mapping sector, LiDAR sensors must operate effectively at long range, while delivering a high degree of range accuracy and point cloud density. These attributes allow mapping customers to improve productivity by operating drones at their maximum altitude and rapidly collecting data using the shortest flight time. Based on third-party estimates aligned with ours, we believe the LiDAR market for aerial mapping alone could reach $1.3 billion by 2030.

•

Security

. LiDAR-based sensing and perception products play an important role in enabling physical security in a range of applications. Unlike camera-based systems, LiDAR sensors collect 3D images, function in day or night and are less susceptible to adverse weather conditions. Key applications for LiDAR in physical security include securing critical infrastructure (including datacenters, oil and gas facilities, power plants and public buildings), intrusion detection and access control. In the security sector, LiDAR sensors must operate continuously on a 24x7 basis, perform reliably in harsh environmental conditions and generate highly accurate sensor data. In addition, LiDAR-based security solutions must be intelligent enough to accurately track and classify people and objects, while minimizing costly false alarms. Based on third-party estimates aligned with ours, we believe the LiDAR market for security applications could reach $472 million by 2030.

•

Smart Cities

. Many communities are increasingly embracing the capabilities of LiDAR to improve the efficiency and safety of active spaces such as airports, public venues, retail outlets and intersections. Smart cities LiDAR applications share a common function—tracking the flow of objects (generally people or vehicles). This critical flow management function can be applied to alleviate traffic congestion, manage lines at airports, automate parking facilities, improve urban planning and enhance the energy efficiency of buildings. For LiDAR solutions to succeed in smart cities applications, they must have a high degree of classification accuracy, scale cost effectively, operate reliably in harsh conditions and collect no personally identifiable information, such as facial recognition. Based on third-party estimates aligned with ours, we believe the LiDAR market for smart cities application could reach $3.9 billion by 2030.

•

Industrial Automation

. Traditional industrial sectors, such as mining, agriculture and logistics, are being increasingly transformed by the automation and intelligence enabled by LiDAR and 3D perception technologies. Many processes in these sectors can be automated using robots and LiDAR-enabled machine vision and perception, but safety and reliability are essential requirements. LiDAR technology is increasingly used in applications such as navigation and collision avoidance of automated guided vehicles, automated mobile robots and unmanned ground vehicles, port automation, guidance of mobile robots, warehouse automation and making precision measurements in the agriculture, construction and mining sectors. To meet the demands of industrial automation customers, LiDAR sensors need to deliver high point cloud density, a high degree of accuracy, long detection range and robust outdoor performance. We believe industrial automation is currently the largest market for LiDAR sensors. Based on third-party estimates aligned with ours, we believe the LiDAR market for industrial automation could reach $8.8 billion by 2030.

Limitations of Existing Sensing Technologies

A number of sensing technologies have developed to detect objects at various distances in a variety of lighting and weather conditions. Major existing sensing technologies include the following:

•

Radar Sensors

. A radar-based sensor uses electromagnetic waves to determine an object’s range, velocity and angle in its field of view. Radar has several advantages, including long range and performance in inclement weather and various lighting conditions. Despite recent advances, radar is

255

Table of Contents

limited in its perception of shape, height and width. Radar cannot read signs or detect color and has limited ability to sense stationary objects, a critical requirement for automotive and industrial applications.

•

Cameras

. Cameras can classify objects, measure distances and read signs and detect color, but are only able to capture images in two dimensions, or 2D, and suffer from poor performance in inclement weather and low light conditions. Due to these limitations, camera-based sensors have to be integrated with other sensing technologies in the automotive market to automate a full range of driving scenarios. In IoT markets, camera-based systems are disadvantaged due to 2D limitations, total system cost (due to complex networking), large data sets and privacy concerns given facial recognition.

•

Ultrasonic Sensors

. Ultrasonic sensors measure the distance to an object by comparing emitted and received sound waves at specific frequencies. Ultrasonic sensors can measure distances in close proximity and can work in most weather and lighting conditions. However, these sensors exhibit a drop in performance at high speeds, over long ranges and when significant background noise is present. In addition, ultrasonic sensors cannot classify objects. These factors effectively limit their application to simple automotive features, such as parking assist.

•

Legacy Mechanical LiDAR

. While mechanical sensors have been used by the automotive markets for some time, we don’t believe this architecture is suitable long term for the cost and reliability requirements of high volume automotive which has a high degree of cost sensitivity and long duty cycles. Within IoT we also see a significant opportunity for industrial use cases to “trade up” from traditional 2D sensors to 3D which bring added range, accuracy and point cloud density.

•

MEMS LiDAR

. MEMS-based sensors, which use micro mirrors to intercept and steer beams of light, have shown some potential as an interim solution for automotive LiDAR. However, the vibrations of moving vehicles can impede the precise motion of the mirrors, introducing uncertainty in the beam direction, and therefore object location. Some implementations of MEMS-based sensors have constraints in detecting objects at close ranges, a necessity for collision avoidance. Moving mirrors are also susceptible to damage in rugged conditions, which can negatively impact reliability and product lifespan. Some industry participants have also expressed concerns about the manufacturing yields and costs of MEMS-based devices.

•

Flash LiDAR

. Flash systems, which illuminate a field of view with a laser pulse, require high-powered lasers to extend range, but work well at close ranges and at a fast frame rate. These high-powered lasers tend to be expensive. Another flash technology, called multi-beam flash, uses an array of laser diodes to form an emitter. Such emitters are based on vertical cavity surface emitting lasers, or VCSELs, which require high power to pump an array, necessitating an efficient heat sink that can adversely impact LiDAR form factor and cost.

We believe automotive and IoT markets will create opportunities for various sensing technologies, and that many existing sensing technologies can be complementary to ours. In the automotive industry, this concept is known as sensor fusion. In IoT markets, our solutions are often paired with camera-based systems to provide redundancy and full situational awareness of an environment. However, given the drawbacks of existing sensing technologies, we see a significant opportunity for our

OPA-based

solid state sensor, next-generation mechanical sensor and 3D perception software technologies.

Our Technology Platform

LiDAR is a

time-of-flight

sensing technology that pulses

low-power,

eye-safe

lasers and measures the time it takes for the laser to complete a round trip between the sensor and a target. The resulting aggregate data are used to generate a 3D point cloud image, providing both spatial location and depth information to identify, classify and track moving objects. Our solution is based on the following primary technologies:

•

Solid State LiDAR Based on Optical Phased Array Technology

. Our solid state LiDAR comprises emitters and detectors that are highly scalable, fully solid-state and can be mass produced at a low cost,

256

Table of Contents

leveraging mature CMOS semiconductor process technologies. Our solid state LiDAR includes a silicon-based OPA and control chip for the emitter, a single photon avalanche diode, or SPAD, array and a custom readout integrated circuit for the detector. All of our semiconductor devices have been custom designed by our

in-house

development team. Our OPA is used for beam forming and beam steering and has no mechanical or moving parts. A unique feature of our OPA is the ability to seamlessly scan and collect any pattern of points in the field of view. This can be used to zoom in on objects of interest, providing greater resolution to improve situational awareness and confidence in detection. Our OPA is an optical version of a phased array that is often used in radar systems. The phased array in our OPA has an array of antenna elements that emit near infrared electromagnetic waves. By controlling the phase of the electromagnetic waves from each antenna element, specific interference patterns, or beam forms, can be generated. To achieve the many characteristics required for solid state LiDAR, our OPA is designed using silicon photonics. With this technology, the miniature antenna array, phase controllers and other structures are integrated in a single silicon chip. Mature silicon industry technology offers performance, reliability and cost attributes that scales well with volume manufacturing. Our solid state technology is designed to offer performance, reliability and cost advantages compared to MEMS- and flash-based LiDAR sensors.

•

Mechanical LiDAR Technology

. We designed our mechanical LiDAR sensor to address shortcomings commonly seen in traditional mechanical LiDAR sensors, including high cost, poor performance and low reliability. Our mechanical sensor employs a high speed transceiver module coupled with a high efficiency data and power transfer design and a robust rotary mechanism for 360 degree horizontal coverage, enabling a high density 3D point cloud to support a wide range of smart sensing applications. Unlike many legacy mechanical LiDARs, our solution is airtight and IP69k rated. To attain the international IP69k rating, our mechanical sensors must withstand high temperatures, high pressure wash and dusty environments. This robustness, combined with long range and high resolution, has made our mechanical LiDAR sensor an ideal solution for mapping, security and smart cities applications that require large detection areas both indoors and outdoors.

•

QORTEX 3D Perception Software

. QORTEX is our core proprietary perception software platform compatible with our suite of LiDAR sensors and a product of more than seven years of development. The flexible, scalable platform uses computer vision technology and 3D perception algorithms to enable smart awareness of the 3D world to identify, track and classify people and vehicles in real-time in security and smart cities applications. The latest release of our QORTEX DTC (detect, track and classify) platform provides for the ability to simultaneously track up to 300 objects. The latest release of our QORTEX People Counting application, when paired with our

S3-2

solid-state sensor, enables 98% counting accuracy. Our QORTEX Aware software, when integrated with our sensors, enables precise object detection and collision avoidance for industrial applications. We believe our 3D perception software capability is unique in the industry and further differentiates our solutions from existing sensing technologies.

Our Solutions

We offer a portfolio of solutions that includes both LiDAR sensors and a 3D perception software platform. Our LiDAR product lines include the S Series of solid state sensors that leverage our patented OPA architecture and the M Series of mechanical sensors. Our solid state sensors are designed to deliver flexible performance with electronic beam steering, with ultra-high reliability given the absence of moving parts and a pathway to

ultra-low

cost given its 100% CMOS-based design. The S Series is currently available in a

two-beam

Our software development will focus on enhancing our object detection, tracking and classification capabilities. For example, our software research and development team will continue to improve detection accuracy for people counting applications and to reduce the number of false positive alerts. For traffic flow analysis of both pedestrians and vehicles, we will continue to improve clustering

263

Table of Contents

and merging algorithms to allow the detection and tracking of large and small objects. Additionally, for classification, our development team will continue to collect large amounts of data to train perception and machine learning algorithms.

•

Quality Assurance

. We plan to invest research and development resources to strengthen quality assurance systems and accelerate new required certifications. We expect to design and build

state-of-the-art

automation test frameworks in order to meet stringent customer requirements. The development of automation processes and tests to reduce

time-to-market

and increase capacity and production yields requires research and development resources with unique skill sets and domain knowledge.

Manufacturing

We operate a fabless semiconductor business model. For semiconductor wafer production, we utilize leading third-party providers. For manufacturing our LiDAR sensors, we utilize a hybrid manufacturing strategy that combines the best elements of

in-house,

precision manufacturing for new product introduction, with

low-cost

and scalable outsourced manufacturing for high volume production. This hybrid approach gives us the flexibility to respond to new market opportunities, simplifies our operations, balances scalability and quality control and reduces our capital expenditures.

For production of our M Series sensors, we have partnered with a leading global contract manufacturer. Our contract manufacturer partner is well equipped to meet our M Series capacity needs given its global scale and resources and expertise in high volume manufacturing. For S Series production, we leverage our internal production lines at our facilities in Sunnyvale, California. We believe we have adequate capacity to meet our S Series volume requirements through at least the end of 2022 with some additional investments in automation. We will evaluate external manufacturing options for our S Series sensors as our volumes increase.

We believe our

in-house

manufacturing capabilities and expertise are key competitive differentiators. Our manufacturing team has deep expertise in microelectronics fabrication and automation. Our Sunnyvale facility features a high-capacity, fully-automated production line in a clean room environment. Our S Series production line features

state-of-the-art

semiconductor equipment for

pick-and-place,

wire bonding and alignment functions and high-precision photonic IC processing tools. Our manufacturing flow is implemented and controlled electronically using our proprietary Product Test Electronic Traveler software to help ensure defect free products. Our facility also includes calibration and final testing, enabling us to oversee the entire production process and provide high quality and reliable solutions.

We strive to meet the highest industry quality standards. For example, we have achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification with regard to our quality management system and EN 61010 certification with respect to product safety compliance. We have also achieved IATF 16949 automotive production process conformance for our solid state sensor production. We use proven stringent standards to qualify our third-party manufacturing and component suppliers that must meet the high quality and reliability standards required of our LiDAR sensors. We carefully qualify each of our partners and their processes before applying the technology practices to our products, including onsite training of their personnel. Our design and quality engineers work closely with our semiconductor fabrication and manufacturing partners in order to reduce our product costs and optimize our product quality.

Our Competition

The market for LiDAR and 3D perception solutions is highly competitive, rapidly evolving and at an early stage of development. Within this market, we face competition from focused providers of advanced LiDAR solutions, including Aeva Technologies, Inc., AEye, Inc., Innoviz Technologies Ltd., LeddarTech Inc., Luminar Technologies, Inc., Ouster, Inc., Sense Photonics, Inc. and Velodyne Lidar, Inc. We also face competition from

264

Table of Contents

established providers of LiDAR products designed for industrial markets, including SICK AG and Hokuyo Automatic Co., Ltd. In addition, we face competition from providers of alternative technologies to LiDAR-based sensing, including camera- and radar-based systems.

We believe that our

OPA-based

solid state approach is unique in the industry, as other advanced LiDAR sensor providers generally employ either MEMS or flash technologies. We also believe that our IoT sensor portfolio offers performance and total cost of ownership advantages over both established LiDAR providers and camera suppliers. However, many of our competitors have significant market share, diversified product lines, well-established supply and distribution systems, strong worldwide brand recognition, loyal customer bases and significant financial, marketing, research, development and other resources. In addition, several advanced LiDAR suppliers have introduced MEMS- or flash-based solutions that are promoted as having superior performance metrics in certain respects as compared to our

OPA-based

solution currently. If we are unable to continue enhancing the performance of our

OPA-based

solution, our prospective customers may choose to purchase competing technologies. In addition, several of our competitors have completed mergers and financings that have provided them with significant amounts of capital, and several of our competitors are publicly traded with access to the public capital markets. If we are unable to complete our merger with CITIC Capital Acquisition Corp., or the merger results in lower cash proceeds than we anticipate, we may have a weaker balance sheet than our competitors.

We believe the principal competitive factors in the LiDAR and 3D perception market include the following:

•

the range, field of view and detection accuracy of LiDAR sensors;

•

the reliability of LiDAR sensors measured by MTBF;

•

the price of LiDAR sensors;

•

the accuracy, scale and intelligence of 3D perception software;

•

the ability to integrate sensors and software with third-party products;

•

market presence and breadth of channels;

•

customer design wins;

•

strategic partnerships;

•

access to capital; and

•

brand awareness and reputation.

We believe that we compete favorably with respect to most of these factors, including the technical attributes of our solutions. In particular, we believe that our

OPA-based

architecture, IoT sensor performance, 3D perception software intelligence and balanced focus on the automotive and IoT markets distinguishes us from our competitors. However, we must make investments in order to further develop our market presence, customer base and brand.

In September 2016, we filed suit in the United States District Court for Northern District of California, San Jose Division (Case No.

3:16-cv-05251),

against Velodyne Lidar, Inc. (“Velodyne”) following receipt of an August 2016 letter from Velodyne that we infringe Velodyne’s U.S. Patent No. 7,969,558, directed to a mechanically rotating LiDAR device (the “‘558 patent”). We sought a declaratory judgment that we do not infringe the ‘558 patent. On December 5, 2016, Velodyne filed an Answer and Counterclaim, alleging our

M8-1 sensor

infringes the ‘558 patent, and seeking a preliminary and permanent injunctions prohibiting future infringement of the patent, and damages in an unspecified amount sufficient to compensate Velodyne for our alleged patent infringement along with interest, enhanced damages for alleged willful patent infringement, plus attorneys’ fees. On January 17, 2017, we answered the counterclaims, asserting that the patent claims are invalid and that we do not infringe. On October 4, 2017, the Court issued a Claim Construction Order construing eight terms in the mechanical ‘558 patent.

On November 29, 2017, we filed two petitions for inter partes review (“IPR”) before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“PTAB”), asserting that all asserted claims of the ‘558 patent are invalid over prior art (I.P.R. Nos. 2018-00255 and 2018- 00256). On January 10, 2018, the Court granted a stipulation filed by us and Velodyne, staying the district court litigation until the patent office decides whether to grant or deny our pending petitions. The parties engaged in mediated settlement negotiations on November 17, 2017. No settlement has been achieved to date. On March 7, 2018, Velodyne filed its responses to both of our petitions. On May 25, 2018, the PTAB instituted both IPRs on all petitioned claims. On June 11, 2018, the Court granted a stipulation filed by us and Velodyne, extending the stay of the district court litigation until the issuance of

non-appealable

decisions in both instituted IPRs. On May 23, 2019, the PTAB issued a Final Written Decision (“FWD”) in each IPR, upholding the validity of all challenged claims. On June 24, 2019, we filed a Petition for Rehearing of the PTAB’s FWDs. On May 21, 2020, the PTAB denied our Petitions.

We filed an appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (“CAFC”) for each IPR (consolidated as docket no.

CAFC-20-2070).

Oral argument was held on July 7, 2021. We are currently awaiting a decision from the CAFC.

Our Employees

We are focused on hiring, training, and retaining exceptional talent. As of June 30, 2021, we had a total of 97 full-time employees, including 46 engaged in research and development, and 78 of our employees were based at our headquarters in Sunnyvale, CA. We have not experienced any work stoppages, and we consider our relationship with our employees to be good.

Our Facilities

Our corporate headquarters is located in Sunnyvale, CA, where we lease approximately 28,000 square feet pursuant to a lease that expires in August 2022. We have other office locations outside the United States, including Canada, China and Dubai. These offices are leased, and we do not own any real property. We believe that our current facilities are adequate to meet our current needs.

QUANERGY’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis provide information which Quanergy management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of Quanergy consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and related notes that are included elsewhere in this proxy statement / prospectus. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” or in other parts of this proxy statement / prospectus. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this “Quanergy Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” to “we”, “us”, “our”, and “the Company” are intended to mean the business and operations of Quanergy and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Overview

Quanergy Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) designs, develops, and produces Light Detection and Ranging (“LiDAR”) sensors and is a leader in 3D sensing that delivers robust and intelligent real-time 3D object detection and classification solutions.

Currently, the Company’s applications and products are targeted towards five key market groups: 1) the Security market where the company builds applications leveraging the mechanical M Series LiDAR combined with proprietary software for perimeter security and intrusion detection applications; 2) the Smart Cities / Spaces market, where the company’s flow management tools are used in cities and municipalities to improve the movement and safety of their citizens in dense urban settings; 3) the Mapping market, where customers are currently utilizing the M8 mechanical LiDAR for terrestrial and aerial mapping; 4) the Industrial market, where the Company is launching its solid state and mechanical LiDAR solutions for material handling, logistics, and measurement; and 5) the Transportation market which consists of passenger vehicles as well as heavy vehicles and off highway applications such as agricultural and mining equipment, where the Company is primarily looking to service this market through its solid state S Series LiDAR for use in Advanced Driver Assist Systems as well as in highly automated vehicle applications.

We generate revenue primarily by entering into supply arrangements with systems integrators, value added resellers, distributors, and end customers. We have also, in the past, received funds from evaluation agreements, where a customer obtains early access to technology through evaluation samples of products and related software.

To date, we have financed our operations primarily through private placements of convertible preferred stock and issuance of convertible notes. From the date of our incorporation through June 30, 2021, we have raised aggregate net proceeds of approximately $153 million from the issuance of convertible preferred stock. We incurred a net loss of $35.2 million and used $14.5 million in cash to fund our operations during the six months ended June 30, 2021. We incurred a net loss of $35.8 million and used $21.8 million in cash to fund our operations during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Over the last 18 months key changes to the R&D and product development organization have accelerated the pace of product releases. In 2020, the Company released 10 new solutions (4 sensors, 4 software products, and 2 VMS integrations). The Company expects to continue investing in R&D and product development to further support sales growth going forward.

Fiscal 2020 was also a critical year for the development of the S3 platform. After receiving new hardware at the end of 2019, the Company devoted much of 2020 to a testing and optimization program that increased the outdoor range of its sensors from 20 meters in January 2020 to 70 meters by September 2020 and over 100

268

meters presently. As the Company continues to invest in the development of a new silicon detector, the Company expect to significantly increase its sensor range and its technical relevance for automotive applications.

Impact of COVID-19

The extensive impact of the pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) has resulted and will likely continue to result in significant disruptions to the global economy, as well as businesses and capital markets around the world. In an effort to halt the outbreak of COVID-19, a number of countries, states, counties, and other jurisdictions have imposed, and may impose in the future, various measures, including but not limited to, voluntary and mandatory quarantines, stay-at-home orders, travel restrictions, limitations on gatherings of people, reduced operations, and extended closures of businesses.

With respect to the Company’s results, fiscal 2020 and first half of fiscal 2021 sales were heavily impacted by COVID primarily due to the delay of projects and slowing overall business activity, as well as in certain cases, the inability to physically access customer sites. Despite these setbacks, in fiscal 2020, the Company reacted quickly to help offset the negative cash flow impacts of these factors with key elements of its cash preservation plan including furloughs for nearly 50% of its employees, negotiating extended payment terms with vendors, wage cuts across the entire workforce, and reduced overall external contractor spending. When combined with a $2.5 million PPP loan from the SBA we were able to keep our monthly operating cash burn at $1.8 million in 2020.

While business conditions improved sequentially from 1Q21 to 2Q21, the broader and long-term implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s workforce, operations and supply chain, customer demand, results of operations and overall financial performance remain uncertain, and the Company believes that it will continue to experience disruptions to its business due to the COVID-19 pandemic throughout 2021.

See “

Risk Factors

” for further discussion of the possible impact of COVID-19 on our business.

Comparability of financial information

Quanergy results of operations and statements of assets and liabilities may not be comparable between periods as a result of the Business Combination.

Business Combination and Public Company Costs

On January 26, 2021, the Company signed a term sheet with CITIC Capital Acquisition Corporation (“CCAC”). On June 21, 2021, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement. A subsidiary of CCAC, Merger Sub, a Delaware corporation, shall be merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving entity. CCAC will issue common shares on a converted basis to shareholders of the Company to affect the transaction (the “Merger”).

The Business Combination is anticipated to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, CCAC will be treated as the acquired company for financial statement reporting purposes. Upon consummation of the Merger and the PIPE Investment, the most significant change in the Company’s future reported financial position and results are expected to be an estimated cash balance (as compared to Quanergy’s consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2021) of $156.4 million, assuming maximum stockholder redemptions of 14,186,659 shares of common stock of CCAC, or $227.8 million, assuming interim stockholder redemption of 7,093,329 shares of common stock, or $299.3 million, assuming no redemptions, including up to $40.0 million in gross proceeds from the PIPE Investment by the PIPE Investors and after deducting $35.3 million of indebtedness to be repaid and approximately $26.7 million in total direct and incremental transaction costs and settlement of CCAC deferred underwriting commission. See the section titled “

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

” for additional information.

As a consequence of the Merger, Quanergy will become the successor to an SEC-registered and listed company with New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), which will require Quanergy to hire additional personnel and implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices.

Factors affecting our performance

Pricing, product costs and margins

Our pricing and margins will depend on the volumes and the features as well as specific market applications of the solutions we provide to our customers. To date, most of our revenue has been generated from flow management solutions which entail M Series sensors paired with our Qortex software for Smart City, Smart Spaces and Security applications. As we expand further into the industrial market, we expect prices to generally decrease as these products are adopted into higher volume programs with higher price sensitivity and in many cases less complex performance requirements. This downward trend in Average Selling Prices (ASPs) is expected to continue through the end of the forecast period as we incorporate orders from the transportation market where cost pressures are significant. As an offset to these pressures, we expected to benefit from improved fixed cost absorption as revenues scale and we are able to amortize fixed costs among more units, and improved variable costs from scale and redesign opportunities. Through both of these we expect to be able keep cost downs ahead of price downs which is accretive to margins. Our ability to compete in key markets will depend on the success of our efforts to efficiently and reliably produce cost-effective smart vision solutions for our commercial-stage customers. We anticipate that our pricing will vary by market and application due to market-specific product and commercial requirements, supply and demand dynamics and product lifecycles.

Commercialization of LiDAR based applications

We believe the LiDAR market today represents a sizable opportunity, and we see significant growth in the TAM across multiple end markets. We also believe we are well-positioned to take advantage of this opportunity, with strong customer relationships and differentiated products that give us opportunities across many different use cases. With that said, we expect that our results of operations, including revenue and gross margins, will fluctuate on a quarterly basis for the foreseeable future as our results are significantly impacted by the timing of individual projects, customer adoption, and overall sales cycles within each vertical. As more customers reach the commercialization phase and as the market for LiDAR solutions matures, these fluctuations in our operating results may become less pronounced. However, in the near term, our revenue may not grow as we expect until more customers commercialize their products.

End market concentration

Until now, the majority our revenue has come from flow management applications which made up 62% of our revenue in 2020, with the balance revenues being from various other sources. This is because we have had these solutions in market for some time and have been able to digest customer feedback and improve the products to optimize their performance for these use cases. We believe our entry into new markets will continue to facilitate revenue growth and customer diversification. While we will continue to expand the end markets we serve, we anticipate that sales to a limited number of end markets will continue to account for a significant portion of our total revenue for the foreseeable future. Our end market concentration may cause our financial performance to fluctuate significantly from period to period based on the success or failure of the markets in which we compete. Success in an end market, or commercialization, is uncertain and may develop differently in each case, with unique pricing, volume, and cost dynamics. Additionally, as production scales in order to meet the demands of commercialization, pricing pressure typically increases, and the amount of that pressure is expected to vary by market.

270

Table of Contents

Sales volume

Sales volumes for our solutions can vary significantly by customer. This can depend on several factors, including the reputation of the end customer, market penetration, product capabilities, size of the end market that the product addresses and our end customers’ ability to sell their products. In addition to end market demand, sales volumes can also depend on the stage of development, with significantly higher volumes being typically associated with the production phase vs development phase. Our business can be significantly impacted by our ability to estimate these customer commitments and select projects that will successfully transition from development to production.

Continued investment and innovation

Our financial performance is significantly dependent on our ability to build on our position in the LiDAR market. This is dependent on the investments we make in research and development. It is essential that we continually identify and respond to rapidly evolving customer requirements, develop, and introduce innovative new products, enhance and service existing products and generate active market demand for our products. If we fail to do this, our leading market position and revenue may be adversely affected, and our investments in that area may not be recovered.

Market trends and uncertainties

We believe our business prospects are supported by favorable market trends that are likely to support growth in the LiDAR market over the next several years. We see the largest near-term growth opportunities coming from the IoT markets which encompass flow management, the industrial market, and mapping. In the shorter term we see the largest pipeline of opportunities at Quanergy coming from flow management solutions driven by increased demand from smart city, smart spaces, and security applications for managing human and vehicle movements in densely populated environments. We also see expect a rapidly increasing opportunity from the industrial market driven by increasing levels of automation for manufacturing, material handling and logistics. We believe that the transportation market represents a significant opportunity as auto OEMs shift from driver assist systems to increasing levels of automation, responding to consumer demands for increased safety and convenience. While the technology for significant automation at low volumes exists today, we believe high volume production of highly automated vehicles with LiDAR sensors is several years away as systems still need to see improvements in cost and performance. Our expectation is that some large volume LiDAR based programs will see deployment mid-decade with significant industry growth thereafter.

Although increasing adoption LiDAR technology may generate higher demand, we may not be able to take advantage of demand if we are unable to anticipate customer needs quickly enough. The LiDAR industry is competitive with many well-funded new entrants, so we will need to build on our positioning with robust investment in new product to increase market acceptance of our LiDAR technology.

Margin Improvements

Our product costs and gross margins will depend largely on the volumes of the solutions we provide to our customers. Our ability to compete in our target markets will depend on the success of our digital LiDAR solutions and the ultimate volume of our sensors sold. We anticipate that our selling process will vary by target end market and application due to market-specific supply and demand dynamics. We expect these customer-specific selling price fluctuations combined with our volume-driven product costs may drive fluctuations in revenue and gross margins on a quarterly basis. However, we expect that volume-driven product cost improvements will lead to a gross margin improvement as our sales volume increases over time.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We consider adjusted EBITDA to be an important non-GAAP financial measure because it helps illustrate underlying trends in our business and our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis. We believe that the use of adjusted EBITDA is helpful to our investors as it is a metric used by management in assessing the health of our business and our operating performance.

However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. A reconciliation is provided below for the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measure and the reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance measure that our management uses to assess our operating performance. Because adjusted EBITDA facilitates internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, we use this measure for business planning purposes. We define adjusted EBITDA as net loss before depreciation and amortization, provision for income taxes, interest expense (net), non-cash gain or loss on debt transactions, restructuring costs, stock-based compensation and change in fair value of derivative liabilities.

Our adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate adjusted EBITDA in the same manner as we calculate the measure, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Our presentation of adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by these expenses or any unusual or non-recurring items. When evaluating our performance, you should consider adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including our net loss and other GAAP results.

The following table reconciles net loss to adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, and for the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, respectively:

Table of Contents

Some of the limitations of adjusted EBITDA include (i) adjusted EBITDA does not properly reflect capital commitments to be paid in the future, and (ii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the underlying assets may need to be replaced and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect these capital expenditures. In evaluating adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation.

Basis of presentation

Quanergy currently conducts its business through a single operating segment. Substantially, all our long-lived assets are maintained in, and our losses are attributable to, the United States of America. See Note 1 and Note 15 in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements for more information on basis of presentation and operating segments, respectively.

Components of results of operations

Net sales

We generate revenue primarily by entering into standard supply arrangements with systems integrators, value added resellers, distributors, and end users. These end-customers and channel partners typically bundle Qortex perception software with a perpetual or term license, and/or services related to the support of the software and hardware and/or installation services. We also have limited instances of standalone sales of sensors and hardware equipment to customers.

Standard Supply Arrangements

We recognize revenue from sales of products and services upon delivery. Delivery occurs upon transfer of title and all risks and rewards of ownership to the customer, which is generally upon shipment. Maintenance and support revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the support period. Certain of the Company’s arrangements are multiple-element arrangements with a combination of product and service.

We mostly use Distributors and Systems Integrators (SIs) to complement our direct sales and marketing efforts. The Distributors and SIs receive business terms of sale similar to those received by the Company’s direct customers, and payment to the Company is not contingent on the receipt of payment from the end customer. The Distributors and SIs negotiate pricing with the customer and are responsible for certain support levels directly with the customer.

See “

—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Revenue Recognition

” below for a more detailed discussion of our revenue recognition policy.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold includes actual cost of material, labor, and manufacturing overhead, including depreciation and amortization, incurred for revenue-producing units shipped and includes associated warranty costs and other costs. Cost of goods sold also includes employee-related costs, including salaries, bonuses, stock-based compensation expense and employee benefit costs associated with the manufacturing of our LiDAR sensors. We expect cost of goods sold to increase in absolute dollars in future periods along with our revenue levels.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Our gross profit represents net sales less our total costs of goods sold, and our gross margin is our gross profit expressed as a percentage of our total revenues. We expect that gross profit and gross margin will continue to be affected by various factors including our pricing, volumes, and amount of investment to maintain or expand our sensors and sensing solutions, excess and obsolete inventories, cost structure for manufacturing operations, product support obligations, share-based compensation expenses, as well as allocated overhead. We expect our gross profit and gross margins to improve over the long term, although it varies by product and could fluctuate from period to period depending on the factors described above.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs directly associated with our research and development organization. These expenses also include non-personnel costs such as professional fees payable to third parties, license and subscription fees for development tools, pre-production product related costs including wafer fabrication costs, and other expenses related to collaborative arrangements. Our research and development efforts are focused on enhancing and developing additional functionality for our existing products and on new product development, including new releases and upgrades to our LiDAR sensors. We expense research and development costs as incurred. We expect our research and development expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we increase our investment in new mechanical sensors, in engineering development for our S-Series program as well as in hardware and software development to broaden the capabilities of our solutions and introduce new products and features.

Sales and Marketing

Our sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs directly associated with our sales and marketing activities. These include the cost of sales commissions, marketing programs, trade shows, consulting services, promotional materials, demonstration equipment, an allocated portion of facility and IT costs and depreciation. We intend to continue to make significant investments in our sales and marketing organization to drive additional revenue, further penetrate the market and expand our global customer base. As a result, we expect our sales and marketing expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we expect to invest in growing and training our sales force and broadening our brand awareness.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel-related expenses associated with our general and administrative organization, professional fees for legal, accounting, and other consulting services, an allocated portion of facility and IT costs and depreciation. We expect to incur additional general and administrative expenses as a result of operating as a public company, including expenses related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and stock exchange listing standards, additional insurance expenses (including directors’ and officers’ insurance), investor relations activities and other administrative and professional services. We also expect to increase the size of general and administrative function to support the growth of our business. However, we anticipate general and administrative expenses to decrease as a percentage of revenue over the long term.

Other income(expense), net

Other income/(expense) consists mainly of interest income, interest expense and other expenses. Interest expense relates to interest on issuance of convertible notes and amortization of debt issuance costs. We receive interest income from our cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities. Other expense includes periodic adjustments to derivative liability at each balance sheet date and expenses realized due to debt discount provided to convertible promissory note holders and gain on forgiveness of the PPP loan.

Provision for income taxes

Our provision for income taxes consists of federal, state, and foreign current and deferred income taxes. As we expand the scale and scope of our international business activities, any changes in the United States and foreign taxation of such activities may increase our overall provision for income taxes in the future.

We have a full valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets, including federal and state net operating loss carryforwards and research and development credit carryforwards. We expect to maintain this valuation allowance until it becomes more likely than not that the benefit of our federal and state deferred tax assets will be realized by way of expected future taxable income.

Table of Contents

We believe that we have adequately reserved for our uncertain tax positions, although we can provide no assurance that the final outcome of these matters will not be materially different. To the extent that the final outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will affect the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made and could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

stock-based compensation cost of $63.4 million related to unvested restricted stock units is expected to be recognized upon vesting, including meeting the above performance condition. Considering that the Company’s operating expenses are much higher than its revenue for the periods presented, presenting the unaudited consolidated statement of operations data as a percentage of revenue would not be meaningful, and hence it has been omitted.

Gross profit decreased by $0.2 million to $31 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2021, from $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in cost of goods sold and resultant decrease in gross profit/margin was mainly attributable to an increase in product and material costs combined with a slight reduction in average selling prices of Company’s products.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses increased by $1.2 million, to $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, from $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to an $0.8 million increase in engineering materials and development costs and $0.7 million related to increase in personnel and related fringe costs, offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in stock-based compensation expense.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $0.6 million, to $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, from $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to $0.9 million increase in personnel and related fringe costs, $0.2 million related to overhead and infrastructure related costs, offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in stock-based compensation expense and decrease of $0.2 million in other sales and marketing expenses.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased by $5.5 million, to $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, from $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to increase in $4.8 million in stock-based compensation costs for RSAs, $0.8 million increase in accounting fees and legal/ professional expenses, offset by a decrease of $0.1 million in personnel related expenses.

Interest expense, net was $9.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $2.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to interest expense of $6.8 million related to deferred interest expense and discount amortization related to convertible promissory notes issued in 2020 and 2021. Refer Note 10—Borrowing Arrangements of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for details regarding the convertible promissory notes issued.

Other expense, net was $5.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to other income, net of $0.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in other expense was primarily attributable to change in fair value of derivative liability of $7.5 million related to promissory notes issued in 2020 and 2021 compared to a $(0.4) million change in fair value of derivative liability related to promissory notes issued in 2018, offset by a gain of $2.5 million on the forgiveness of the PPP loan.

Net sales decreased by $3.3 million to $3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, from $6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The $3.3 million decrease is related to reduction in units sold, including as a result of the extensive impact of the pandemic cause by COVID-19. Timing of customer orders and our ability to fulfill orders we received was impacted by various COVID-19 related governmental mandates across United States and EMEA regions.

Net sales in Americas decreased by $1.7 million to $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, from $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. Net sales in Asia decreased by $0.4 million to $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, from $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Cost of goods sold decreased by $4 million to $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, from $6.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, in line with the reduction in revenues earned during the same comparative periods. Gross profit increased by 0.7 million to $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, from ($0.3) million for the year ended December 31, 2019. This decrease in cost of goods sold and increase in gross profits/ margins comprised mainly of a reduction in material costs totaling $2.1 million, reduction in personnel costs by $1.7 million and a reduction in factory overhead expenses by $0.7 million. The decrease in these costs was mainly attributable to reduction in number of units sold during the year, the benefit of a full year

of the shift of volume manufacturing to a contract manufacturer in Thailand which was completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2019, and reductions in personnel costs incurred during the year ended December 31, 2020, due to a company-wide furlough and overall wage reductions and outsourcing of production. This reduction was partially offset by an increase of $0.5 million attributable to depreciation, write offs for inventory obsolescence and other costs.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses decreased by $5.3 million to $15.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, from $20.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to reduction of $2.2 million in personnel related costs due to company-wide furloughs and wage reductions, a decrease of $1.6 million in non-recurring engineering services and software tools contractual costs, and a decrease of $1.3 million of costs allocated to R&D in accordance with reduced overall R&D activity noted above.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $0.9 million to $6.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, from $7.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $0.4 million in travel, trade show and promotion-related expenses, a decrease of $0.3 million in commission expenses, and a decrease of $0.2 million in facilities costs.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.1 million to $9.5 million for 2020 from $9.6 million for December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in stock-based compensation of $1.1 million, decreases in legal expense of $0.9 million, decreased accounting fees of $0.4 million and reduced facilities costs of $0.2 million, partially offset by an increase in a legal contingency accrual of $2.5 million, as discussed in further detail in Note 15—Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements below.

Restructuring Costs

In 2019, we initiated a restructuring plan to consolidate some of our facilities and dispose of certain property and equipment. The plan included a reduction in our workforce and has been substantially completed as of December 31, 2019. As a result of the restructuring program, we incurred restructuring charges totaling $1.4 million for 2019, primarily related to lease termination costs and some employee severance related costs. See Note 9—Restructuring of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more details regarding our restructuring plan.

Interest expense, net was $6.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $2.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to interest expense of $2.8��million of interest expense on new debt issued in 2020, consisting of interest expense paid as well as accreted based on amortization of debt discounts, $0.2 million additional interest expense recognized on pre-existing debt and deferred interest, and $0.5 million of reduced interest income from reductions in cash investment balances.

Other income (expense), net was $1.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $(0.3) million in the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to income of $1.4 million recognized in 2020 to reflect the change in fair value of derivative liabilities related to derivatives embedded in the convertible promissory notes issued in 2020, and $0.4 million expenses recognized in 2019 related to the change in fair values attributable to the derivative liability embedded in the 2020 Notes and the Series C warrants exercised in 2019.

We are subject to income taxes in the United States, Canada, China, Germany, Japan and the U.K. Our effective tax rate increased from 0.09% in 2019 to 0.02% in 2020. The increase in our provision for income taxes was primarily due to the impact of release of a tax liability in fiscal 2019 related to uncertain tax positions that lapsed in 2019, with no corresponding favorable impact in fiscal 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

As of June 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $41.9 million, which were held for working capital purposes. Our cash equivalents are comprised primarily of money market funds. To date, our principal sources of liquidity have been payments received from sales to customers, net proceeds we received through issuance of convertible preferred stock and issuance of convertible notes. In November 2013, we received $3.4 million and $1 million in net proceeds from the sale of our Seed and Seed 2 Series preferred stock, respectively. In October and November 2014, we received $29.9 million in net proceeds from the sale of our Series A preferred stock. In April 2015, we received $9.8 million in net proceeds from the sale of our Series A+ preferred stock. In March 2016, we received $89.5 million in net proceeds from the sale of our Series B preferred stock. In October 2018, we received $19.3 million in net proceeds from the sale of our Series C preferred stock.

Table of Contents

In March 2018 and June 2018, we received $24.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively, through issuance of convertible promissory notes (the “2022 Notes”) to various investors. The 2022 Notes are secured by a security agreement and mature in March 2022, unless earlier converted at the option of the investors. The principal amount shall accrue interest at 1.5% per annum, payable biannually, and additional interest at 8.0% per annum, which will be added to the principal and compounded on each payment date.

In March 2020, August 2020, and October 2020, we received $8.1 million, $7.5 million, and $0.5 million, respectively, through issuance of convertible promissory notes (the “2023 Notes”) to various investors. The principal amount of the outstanding balance shall accrue interest at 10.0% per annum, payable at maturity in March 2023.

In May 2020, we received loan proceeds of $2.5 million under the CARES Act’s Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The principal and accrued interest are forgivable after 24 weeks as long as the borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains its payroll levels and that approval is received from the relevant government entity. The outstanding portion of the PPP loan is payable over two years at an interest rate of 1% per annum, with a deferral of payments for the first six months. However, the PPP loan was forgiven as on June 14, 2021.

In March 2021, we received $48.7 million through issuance of additional 2023 Notes. The principal amount of the outstanding balance shall accrue interest at 10.0% per annum, payable at maturity in March 2023.

We have incurred negative cash flows from operating activities and significant losses from operations in the past as reflected in our accumulated deficit of $279.2 million as of the June 30, 2021. We expect to continue to incur operating losses at least for the next 12 months following the issuance of these financial statements due to the investments that we intend to make in our business and, as a result, we may require additional capital resources to grow our business. We believe that with the assets anticipated to be received from the Trust Account, the proceeds from the PIPE Financing , and the current cash and cash equivalents, we will be able to sufficiently fund our operations for at least the next 12 months following the issuance of these financial statements. Our future capital requirements, however, will depend on many factors, including our LiDAR sales volume, the timing and extent of spending to support our R&D efforts in smart vision technology, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, and market adoption of new and enhanced products and features. We may in the future enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, services, and technologies, including intellectual property rights. From time to time, we may seek to raise additional funds through equity and debt. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired and on reasonable terms, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Operating Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, operating activities used $14.5 million in cash.

Off- Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2021, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily the result of fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. Nonetheless, if our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Interest Rate Risk

As of June 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $41.9 million, which consisted primarily of institutional money market funds, which carries a degree of interest rate risk. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations due to the short-term nature of our investment portfolio.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Our results of operations and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. All our revenue is generated in U.S. dollars. Our expenses are generally denominated in the currencies of the jurisdictions in which we conduct our operations, which are primarily in the U.S. and to a lesser extent in Europe and Asia. Our results of operations and cash flows are, therefore, subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and may be adversely affected in the future due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The effect of a hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates applicable to our business would not have a material impact on our historical consolidated financial statements. To date, we have not engaged in any hedging strategies. As our international operations grow, we will continue to reassess our approach to manage our risk relating to fluctuations in currency rates.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that can significantly impact the amounts we report as assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and the related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance as these policies involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity.

Revenue Recognition

We adopted the requirements of the new revenue recognition standard, known as ASC 606, effective January 1, 2019, utilizing the modified retrospective method of transition. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products and to a small extent services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those products and services. For service projects, revenue is recognized as services are performed and amounts are earned in accordance with the terms of a contract at estimated collectible amounts.

We enter into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations; however, determining whether products or services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may sometimes require significant judgment. Transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price (SSP) basis. Judgment is required to determine SSP for each distinct performance obligation. We use a range of amounts to estimate SSP when products and services are sold separately. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, we determine SSP using information that may include other observable inputs available to us.

For over-time revenue recognition, we will recognize revenue using the input method based on efforts expended or labor hours incurred as a measure of progress, which we believe to be a faithful depiction of our performance in fulfilling the promised services or of our progress in the development and delivery of the customized products. Significant judgment is required when estimating total contract costs and progress to completion on the arrangements, as well as whether a loss is expected to be incurred on the contract. If circumstances arise that change the original estimates of revenues, costs, or extent of progress toward completion, revisions to the estimates are made. These revisions may result in increases or decreases in estimated revenues or costs, and such revisions are reflected in income in the period in which the circumstances that gave rise to the revision become known to the Company. We will perform ongoing profitability analysis of our contracts accounted for under this method in order to determine whether the latest estimates of revenues, costs, and profits require updating. If at any time these estimates indicate that the contract will be unprofitable, the entire estimated loss for the remainder of the contract is recorded immediately.

Changes in judgments with respect to these assumptions and estimates could impact the timing or amount of revenue recognition.

Inventory Valuation

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Costs are computed under the standard cost method, which approximates actual costs determined on a first-in, first-out basis, and include freight and overhead expenses incurred to bring the inventory to its location and condition. We provide for reserves against this inventory which is considered obsolete or in excess of anticipated demand or net realizable value based on a consideration of marketability and product life cycle stage, product development plans, component cost trends, demand forecasts, historical net sales, and assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If the actual

285

Table of Contents

component usage and product demand are significantly lower than forecast, which may be caused by factors within and outside of our control, or if there were a higher incidence of inventory obsolescence because of rapidly changing technology and our customer requirements, we may be required to increase our inventory write-downs. A change in our estimates could have a significant impact on the value of our inventory and our results of operations.

Income Taxes

Significant management judgment is required in developing our provision for income taxes, including the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowances that might be required against the deferred tax assets. We have considered projected future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for valuation allowances. If we determine that a valuation allowance is required, such adjustment to the deferred tax assets would increase our tax expense in the period in which such determination is made. Conversely, if we determine that a valuation allowance exceeds our requirement, such adjustment to the deferred tax assets would decrease tax expense in the period in which such determination is made. In evaluating the exposure associated with various tax filing positions, we accrue an income tax liability when such positions do not meet the more-likely-than-not threshold for recognition.

The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax law and regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions. We recognize potential liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes, interest and penalties will be due. If our estimate of income tax liabilities proves to be less than the actual amount ultimately assessed, a further charge to tax expense would be required. If the payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be unnecessary, the reversal of the accrued liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period when we determine the liabilities no longer exist.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation consists of expense for stock options, stock awards and RSUs granted to employees and nonemployees. We estimate the fair value of RSUs based on the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. We grant RSUs which vest upon the satisfaction of both a time-based condition and a liquidity condition. Upon satisfaction of the liquidity vesting condition, which is the earlier of (i) an IPO, or (ii) a Company sale event, RSUs for which the service-based condition has been satisfied will vest immediately, and any remaining unvested RSUs will vest over the remaining service period. The fair value of RSUs is recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period, using the accelerated attribution method once the liquidity condition becomes probable of being achieved. As of June 30, 2021, no compensation expense had been recognized for the RSUs because the liquidity vesting condition was not probable of being satisfied.

We estimate the fair value of stock options and stock awards granted to employees and directors using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of stock options that are expected to vest is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. We recognize forfeitures as they occur. Stock-based compensation expense from stock options and stock awards was $5.4 million and $7.2 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, and $7.3 million and $3.1 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020.

The fair value of our common stock has historically been determined by our board of directors, with the help of independent third-party valuation companies, as there was no public market for the common stock. The fair value of our common stock is determined by considering a number of objective and subjective factors, including: the valuation of comparable companies, sales of convertible preferred stock to unrelated third parties, our operating and financial performance, the lack of liquidity of common stock and general and industry specific economic outlook, amongst other factors. The valuation of our common stock involves the use of estimates, judgment, and assumptions that are highly complex and subjective, such as those regarding our expected future

286

Table of Contents

revenue, expenses, and future cash flows, discount rates, market multiples, the selection of comparable companies, and the probability of possible future events. Changes in any or all of these estimates and assumptions or the relationships between these assumptions impact our valuations as of each valuation date and may have a material impact on the valuation of our common stock and, in turn, on the valuation of our share-based compensation awards whose values are based in part on the value of our common stock.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among any of Quanergy PubCo’s directors or executive officers.

Board Composition

Quanergy PubCo’s business and affairs will be organized under the direction of its board of directors. The board of directors of Quanergy PubCo will meet on a regular basis and additionally as required.

In accordance with the terms of the Proposed Bylaws, which will be effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Quanergy PubCo’s board of directors may establish the authorized number of directors from time to time by resolution. Quanergy PubCo’s board of directors will consist of members upon the consummation of the Business Combination. In accordance with the Business Combination Charter, which will be effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Quanergy PubCo’s board of directors will be divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. At each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors to directors whose terms then expire will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following election. Quanergy PubCo’s directors will be divided among the three classes as follows:

the Class II directors will be , and , and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2023; and

the Class III directors will be , and , and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2024.

290

Table of Contents

As nearly as possible, each class will consist of

one-third

of the directors.

The division of Quanergy PubCo’s board of directors into three classes with staggered three-year terms may delay or prevent a change of Quanergy PubCo’s management or a change in control.

Director Independence

Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, the CCAC board of directors will undertake a review of the independence of each director. Based on information provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, it is expected that the board of directors of CCAC will determine that none of the directors, other than Mr. Kennedy, Ms. Yu and , has any relationships that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of , , and is “independent” as that term is defined under the NYSE listing standards. In making these determinations, the CCAC board of directors will consider the current and prior relationships that each

non-employee

director has with Quanergy PubCo and all other facts and circumstances the CCAC board of directors deems relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of securities of Quanergy PubCo by each

non-employee

director and the transactions described in the section titled “

Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

.”

Board Leadership Structure

Quanergy’s current board of directors is, and the Quanergy PubCo is expected to be, chaired by Mr. Kennedy, the Chief Executive Officer. In such role, Mr. Kennedy will have authority, among other things, to call and preside over board of directors meetings, to set meeting agendas and to determine materials to be distributed to the board of directors. Quanergy PubCo’s board of directors believes that combining the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Board helps to ensure that Quanergy PubCo’s board of directors and management act with a common purpose and that separating the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board has the potential to give rise to divided leadership, which could interfere with good decision-making or weaken the ability to develop and implement strategy. Instead, Quanergy PubCo’s board of directors believes that combining the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board provides a single, clear chain of command to execute its strategic initiatives and business plans. In addition, Quanergy PubCo’s board of directors believes that a combined Chief Executive Officer/Chairman of the Board is better positioned to act as a bridge between management and Quanergy PubCo’s board of directors, facilitating the regular flow of information.

Quanergy Pubco will not have a lead independent director. Messrs. DiSanto, Hammond, Hassanein and Rhors will serve as independent directors who provide active and effective oversight of Quanergy Pubco’s strategic decisions. As of the date of this filing, the CCAC board of directors has determined that the leadership structure of the Quanergy Pubco board of directors will permit the Quanergy Pubco board of directors to fulfill its duties effectively and efficiently and is appropriate given the size and scope of Quanergy Pubco and its financial condition.

Role of Quanergy PubCo Board of Directors in Risk Oversight/Risk Committee

Upon the consummation of Business Combination, one of the key functions of Quanergy PubCo’s board of directors will be informed oversight of Quanergy PubCo’s risk management process. Quanergy PubCo’s board of directors does not anticipate having a standing risk management committee, but rather anticipates administering this oversight function directly through Quanergy PubCo’s board of directors as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of the board of directors that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, the board of directors will be responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure and Quanergy PubCo’s audit committee will have the responsibility to consider and discuss Quanergy PubCo’s major financial risk exposures and the steps its management will take to monitor and control such exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is

291

undertaken. The audit committee will also monitor compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Quanergy PubCo’s compensation committee will also assess and monitor whether Quanergy PubCo’s compensation plans, policies and programs comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Quanergy PubCo’s board of directors will reconstitute its audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee.

Each member of Quanergy PubCo’s audit committee can read and understand fundamental financial statements in accordance with applicable requirements. In arriving at these determinations, the CCAC Board has examined each audit committee member’s scope of experience and the nature of their employment.

The primary purpose of the audit committee will be to discharge the responsibilities of Quanergy PubCo’s board of directors with respect to the corporate accounting and financial reporting processes, systems of internal control and financial statement audits, and to oversee the independent registered public accounting firm.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Business Combination Charter, which will be effective upon consummation of the Business Combination, will limit a directors’ liability to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL. The DGCL provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability:

•

for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit;

•

for any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

•

for any unlawful payment of dividends or redemption of shares; or

•

for any breach of a director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders.

If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of the directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.

Delaware law and the Proposed Bylaws provide that Quanergy PubCo will, in certain situations, indemnify its directors and officers and may indemnify other employees and other agents, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Any indemnified person is also entitled, subject to certain limitations, to advancement, direct payment, or reimbursement of reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding.

In addition, Quanergy PubCo will enter into separate indemnification agreements with its directors and officers. These agreements, among other things, require Quanergy PubCo to indemnify its directors and officers for certain expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by a director or officer in any action or proceeding arising out of their services as one of its directors or officers or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at its request.

Quanergy PubCo plans to maintain a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy pursuant to which its directors and officers are insured against liability for actions taken in their capacities as directors and officers. We believe these provisions in the Business Combination Charter and Proposed Bylaws and these indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, or control persons, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Amounts reported represent the aggregate grant date fair value of stock options granted to such named executive officers and have been computed in accordance with ASC Topic 718.

This amount does not reflect the actual economic value that may be realized by the named executive officer. The incremental fair value of the repriced options as further discussed below under “—April 2020 Option Repricing” are as follows: Kevin Kennedy ($209,871), Patrick Archambault ($40,471) and Enzo Signore ($169,390).

(5)	Amount disclosed reflects non-cash compensation expense to the Company under ASC Topic 718 of $7,733, which resulted from the post termination exercise period amendment for Mr. Eldada’s option grant as further discussed below under “—Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End”.

(6)	Amount disclosed reflects severance payments ($239,583), payout for paid time off ($24,038) and health insurance premium reimbursements ($11,420).

April 2020 Option Repricing

In April 2020, we amended certain outstanding options, including options held by Messrs. Kennedy and Archambault, which were “underwater”, meaning the exercise price per share of these options was greater than the current fair market value of our common stock. The amendment reduced the exercise price per share of such options to $49.43, the fair market value of our common stock as determined by our board of directors on the date of the repricing. We believe that repricing these options was in the best interest of Quanergy, in order motivate the optionholders to continue to provide services to Quanergy and to work towards its success. Messrs. Kennedy and Archambault repricing are further discussed below under “

—Agreements with Quanergy’s Named Executive Officers

Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan

Quanergy’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) was originally adopted by its board of directors and approved by its stockholders on January 9, 2013, and was last amended on March 29, 2021. The 2013 Plan provides for the discretionary grant of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards to Quanergy’s employees, consultants and directors, or employees and consultants of Quanergy’s parent or subsidiaries. Incentive stock options may be granted only to Quanergy employees or employees of Quanergy’s parent or subsidiaries. Immediately prior to the Merger, the 2013 Plan will be terminated and no further grants will be made under the 2013 Plan. Any awards granted under the 2013 Plan will remain subject to the terms of the 2013 Plan and the applicable award agreement.

Authorized Shares. The maximum number of shares of Quanergy common stock that may be issued under the 2013 Plan is 4,556,307 shares.

Plan Administration.

The Quanergy Board or a duly authorized committee thereof, is granted the authority to administer the 2013 Plan. The 2013 Plan authorizes the plan administrator to (i) determine which eligible persons are to receive awards, (ii) determine the number, type, vesting requirements, performance conditions and other features of awards, (iii) amend awards, (iv) correct any defect or reconcile inconsistency in the 2013 Plan or awards granted thereunder, (v) accelerate the vesting of or extend the post termination exercise term, or waive restrictions of awards,

(vi) re-price

options, (vii) interpret the 2013 Plan and award agreements thereunder; (viii) make all other decisions relating to the operation of the 2013 Plan, and (ix) grant awards to certain individuals who are foreign nationals as specified in the 2013 Plan.

Stock Options.

ISOs and NSOs are granted pursuant to award agreements adopted by the plan administrator. ISOs may only be granted to employees of Quanergy and its parent or subsidiaries. Anyone eligible to participate in the 2013 Plan may receive an award of NSOs. The exercise price of a stock option may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying share on the date of grant (or 110% in the case of ISOs granted to certain significant stockholders). The term of a stock option may not be longer than 10 years (or five years in the case of ISOs granted to certain significant stockholders). Subject to certain exceptions, an option granted under the 2013 Plan generally may only be exercised while an optionholder is employed by, or providing service to, Quanergy, unless provided otherwise in the optionholder’s award agreement. If an optionholder’s service relationship terminates other than for cause or other than due to death or disability, the optionholder may exercise any vested options for a period of three months thereafter. If an optionholder’s service relationship with Quanergy ceases due to disability or death, the optionholder or a beneficiary may generally exercise any vested options for a period of six months thereafter, unless provided otherwise in the optionholder’s award agreement. If an optionholder’s service relationship is terminated by Quanergy for cause (as defined in the 2013 Plan), his or her options terminate immediately upon such termination. An optionholder may exercise an option by delivering notice of exercise to Quanergy and paying the exercise price. Acceptable consideration for the purchase of stock issued upon the exercise of an option include (i) cash; (ii) check; (iii) shares of Quanergy common stock;

300

Table of Contents

(iv) cashless exercise; (v) net exercise; or (vi) other consideration as permitted by applicable laws. In no event may an option be exercised beyond the expiration of its term. The plan administrator will have the authority to effect the cancellation or surrender of any or all outstanding options under the 2013 Plan and to exchange for new awards of the same or different type, cash or other consideration.

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs).

RSUs represent the right to receive shares of Quanergy’s common stock at a specified date in the future. RSUs may be awarded in consideration for any form of legal consideration acceptable to the plan administrator and permissible under applicable law. RSUs may be settled in shares of Quanergy’s common stock, their cash equivalent, or a combination thereof or in any other form of consideration as determined by the plan administrator. The plan administrator determines the vesting conditions of RSUs.

Certain Transactions.

The plan administrator has the authority to make adjustments to the share limits, the number and kind of securities available for future awards and subject to outstanding awards, the exercise price for outstanding options, and the number and kind of outstanding securities issued under the 2013 Plan in the event of certain transactions and events, such as a consolidation or combination of outstanding shares, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reclassification,

spin-off,

combination, or other similar occurrence. In the event of a change in control, awards outstanding under the 2013 Plan may be assumed or substituted by the surviving corporation, continue, accelerate and vest, or cancelled with or without consideration. In the event the awards are not assumed, substituted or continued, the board or its designated committee may provide that the awards will fully vest and become exercisable immediately prior to the change in control. Change of control is defined in the 2013 Plan as either (i) the consummation of an acquisition, a merger or consolidation of Quanergy with or into another entity or any other corporate reorganization, if more than 50% of the combined voting power of the continuing or surviving entity’s securities outstanding immediately after such acquisition, merger, consolidation or other reorganization is owned by persons who in the aggregate owned less than 20% of Quanergy’s combined voting power represented by Quanergy’s outstanding securities immediately prior to such acquisition, merger, consolidation or other reorganization; or (ii) The sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of Quanergy’s assets, in the 2013 Plan. In addition, an initial public offering by Quanergy of its shares of common stock shall not constitute a change in control in the 2013 Plan.

Transferability.

Unless determined otherwise by the plan administrator, awards granted under the 2013 Plan may not be transferred other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or as otherwise provided under the 2013 Plan and, options are exercisable during the optionholder’s lifetime only by the optionholder or its guardian or legal representative.

Retention Plan

In October 2019, Quanergy adopted a retention plan (the “Retention Plan”) to reinforce and encourage the continued dedication of certain executive officers and other service providers of the Company to their assigned duties without distraction in connection with certain covered transactions. In April 2021 Quanergy amended and restated the Retention Plan to clarify that the Merger constitutes a Covered Transaction as defined therein such that certain bonuses will be payable to the participants in connection with the Merger. The following table summarizes the aggregate amount of compensation each named executive officer participant will receive. The compensation will be paid in two equal installments, within ten (10) days of the first and second anniversaries of the Closing; provided that the named executive officer remains an active employee of or service provider to Quanergy on such anniversary dates; provided that, in the event of such executive officer is involuntarily terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined below) and provided that such executive executes and allows to become effective a release of claims in favor of the Company, then he will be entitled to receive the entire unpaid amount in a lump sum by the thirtieth (30th) day following the later of his date of termination and the effective date of such release. For these purposes, the term “Cause” generally means: (i) commission of any felony or any crime involving fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude; (ii) commission of, or participation in, a fraud or act of dishonesty against the Company; (iii) intentional, material violation of any contract or agreement with, or statutory duty to, the Company; (iv) unauthorized use or disclosure of the Company’s confidential information or trade secrets; (v) gross misconduct; or (vi) failure to adequately perform his work function.

Limitations of Liability and Indemnification Matters

The Business Combination Charter that will be effective upon consummation of the Merger eliminates Quanergy PubCo’s directors’ liability for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The DGCL provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability:

•

any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;

•

any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

•

unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; or

•

any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of Quanergy PubCo’s directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.

The Business Combination Charter requires Quanergy PubCo to indemnify and advance expenses to, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, its directors, officers and agents. Quanergy PubCo plans to maintain a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy pursuant to which Quanergy PubCo’s directors and officers are insured against liability for actions taken in their capacities as directors and officers. Finally, the Business Combination Charter prohibits any retroactive changes to the rights or protections or increase the liability of any director in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any act or omission to act giving rise to liability or indemnification.

In addition, Quanergy PubCo will enter into separate indemnification agreements with Quanergy PubCo’s directors and officers. These agreements, among other things, require Quanergy PubCo to indemnify its directors and officers for certain expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by a director or officer in any action or proceeding arising out of their services as one of Quanergy PubCo’s directors or officers or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at Quanergy PubCo’s request. We believe these provisions in the Business Combination Charter are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

The expected beneficial ownership of shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock post-Business Combination assumes two scenarios:

•

a “no redemption” scenario where no CCAC Class A ordinary shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination;

•

a “50% redemption” scenario where 13,800,000 CCAC Class A ordinary shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination; and

•

a “maximum redemption” scenario where 27,600,000 CCAC Class A ordinary shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination.

Based on the foregoing assumptions, and including the 72,464,004 shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock to be issued in connection with the PIPE Investment, we estimate that there would be 110,964,004 shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock issued and outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination in the “no redemption” scenario, and 83,364,004 shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock issued and outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination in the “maximum redemption” scenario. If the actual facts are different from the foregoing assumptions, ownership figures in the combined company and the columns under Post-Business Combination in the table that follows will be different.

The following table does not reflect record of beneficial ownership of any shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock issuable upon exercise of public warrants or private placement warrants, as such securities are not exercisable or convertible within 60 days of June 30, 2021.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

CITIC Capital Acquisition Corp.

Founder Shares

On November 14, 2019, the Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per CCAC Class B Ordinary share, to cover certain offering costs in consideration for 5,750,000 CCAC Class B Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001. Effective December 10, 2019, the Sponsor transferred 718,750 founder shares to Henri Arif for a purchase price of $3,125 (the same

per-share

price initially paid by the Sponsor), resulting in the Sponsor holding 5,031,250 founder shares. On February 10, 2020, CCAC effected a share capitalization of 1,150,000 shares and as a result the Sponsor held 6,037,500 founder shares and Mr. Henri Arif held 862,500 founder shares. On May 7, 2020, the Sponsor transferred 22,000 founder shares to Ross Haghighat for no consideration. On February 10, 2021, the Sponsor appointed Mr. Mark B. Segall as an independent director and transferred 13,000 Founder Shares to Mr. Mark B.Segall, resulting in the Sponsor holding 6,002,500 Founder Shares.

As of June 30, 2021, the Sponsor holds 6,002,500 CCAC Class B Ordinary Shares. On February 10, 2021, the Sponsor transferred 13,000 founder shares to Mr. Mark B. Segall for no consideration. The initial shareholders had agreed to forfeit up to 900,000 founder shares to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters. As of June 30, 2021, the underwriter had exercised its over-allotment option in full, hence, these founder shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

In connection with the Business Combination, each of the 6,900,000 founder shares will convert on a

one-for-one

basis into one share of Quanergy PubCo common stock.

Private Placement Warrants

one-half

of one redeemable warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one CCAC Class A ordinary share at a price of$11.50 per CCAC Class A ordinary share, subject to adjustment. Concurrently with the closing of the initial public offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 7,520,000 warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant.

The Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 7,520,000 private placement warrants, each exercisable to purchase one CCAC Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per CCAC Class A ordinary share, at a price of $1.00 per warrant, or $7,520,000 in the aggregate, in connection with the initial public offering. The private placement warrants are identical to the warrants sold in the initial public offering except that the private placement warrants, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, (i) are not be redeemable by CCAC, (ii) may not (including the CCAC Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until 30 days after the completion of CCAC’s initial Business Combination, (iii) may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis and (iv) are entitled to registration rights.

In connection with the Business Combination, each of the 7,520,000 private placement warrants will convert automatically into one warrant to purchase one share of Quanergy PubCo common stock pursuant to the Warrant Agreement.

Subscription Agreements

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, we entered into Subscription Agreements, pursuant to which the PIPE Investor has subscribed for shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock in connection with the PIPE Investment

308

Table of Contents

The PIPE Investment will be consummated substantially concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination. For additional information, see “

BCA Proposal—Related Agreements—Subscription Agreements.

”

Administrative Services Agreement

CCAC currently utilizes office space at 9/F, East Tower, Genesis Beijing No. 8 Xinyuan South Road Chaoyang District, Beijing 100027 People’s Republic of China from the Sponsor as CCAC’s executive offices. Commencing upon consummation of the initial public offering, CCAC pays the Sponsor $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services provided to members of CCAC’s management team. Upon completion of CCAC’s initial Business Combination or CCAC’s liquidation, it will cease paying these monthly fees. For the year ended December 31, 2020, CCAC incurred $105,862 in such administrative services under this arrangement. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company incurred $61,428 of administrative services under this arrangement.

Related Party, Notes Loans and Advances

On December 9, 2019, the Sponsor agreed to loan CCAC up to an aggregate amount of $300,000 to be used, in part, for transaction costs incurred in connection with the initial public offering pursuant to an unsecured promissory note. The promissory note was

non-interest

bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2020 and the completion of the initial public offering. The outstanding balance of $300,000 under the promissory note was paid in full on February 13, 2020.

As of June 30, 2021, the amount due to related parties was $329,435. The amounts were unpaid reimbursements for the operating expenses, administrative support expenses (as described above – Administrative Services Agreement), and deferred offering costs paid by the related parties on behalf of CCAC.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the CCAC’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the CCAC funds as may be required. If CCAC completes a Business Combination, it would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the Business Combination does not close, CCAC may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from CCAC’s trust account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into private placement warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants. Except as set forth above, the terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of June 30, 2021, CCAC had no such loan outstanding.

Registration Rights

The Merger Agreement contemplates that, at the Closing, Quanergy PubCo, the Sponsor, certain members of the Sponsor and the stockholders of Quanergy, will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which Quanergy PubCo will agree to register for resale, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, certain shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock and other equity securities of Quanergy PubCo that are held by the parties thereto from time to time.

In connection with the Business Combination, the registration rights agreement will be amended and restated. For additional information, see “

From March 2020 to February 2021, Quanergy issued to certain investors convertible promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $64.8 million (the “2020 Notes”) and warrants (the “2020 Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of approximately 2.5 million shares of common stock of Quanergy at a purchase price of $0.01 per share (the “2020 Note Financing”). The 2020 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 10% per annum. Immediately prior to the Closing, the 2020 Notes will be converted into that number of shares of common stock of Quanergy equal to the applicable balance of the 2020 Note divided by 50% of the fair market value of each share of such common stock. Upon the Closing, any 2020 Warrant then outstanding will be converted into a Quanergy PubCo Warrants.

Transactions involving compensation for services provided to Quanergy PubCo as an employee, consultant or director will not be considered related person transactions under this policy. A related person is any executive officer, director, nominee to become a director or a holder of more than 5% of any class of Quanergy PubCo’s voting securities (including Quanergy PubCo’s common stock), including any of their immediate family members and affiliates, including entities owned or controlled by such persons.

Under the policy, the related person in question or, in the case of transactions with a holder of more than 5% of any class of Quanergy PubCo’s voting securities, an officer with knowledge of a proposed transaction, must present information regarding the proposed related person transaction to Quanergy PubCo’s audit committee (or, where review by Quanergy PubCo’s audit committee would be inappropriate, to another independent body of Quanergy PubCo’s board of directors) for review. To identify related person transactions in advance, Quanergy PubCo will rely on information supplied by Quanergy PubCo’s executive officers, directors and certain significant stockholders. In considering related person transactions, Quanergy PubCo’s audit committee will take into account the relevant available facts and circumstances, which may include, but are not limited to:

•

the risks, costs, and benefits to Quanergy PubCo;

•

the impact on a director’s independence in the event the related person is a director, immediate family member of a director or an entity with which a director is affiliated;

•

the terms of the transaction;

•

the availability of other sources for comparable services or products; and

•

the terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties.

Table of Contents

Quanergy PubCo’s audit committee will approve only those transactions that it determines are fair to us and in Quanergy PubCo’s best interests. All of the transactions described above were entered into prior to the adoption of such policy.

Policies and Procedures for Related Persons Transactions

Effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the board of directors of Quanergy PubCo will adopt a written related person transaction policy that will set forth the following policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related person transactions. A “related person transaction” is a transaction, arrangement or relationship in which the post-combination company or any of its subsidiaries was, is or will be a participant, the amount of which involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any related person had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. A “related person” means:

•

any person who is, or at any time during the applicable period was, one of Quanergy PubCo’s executive officers or directors;

•

any person who is known by the post-combination company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of Quanergy PubCo voting stock;

mother-in-law,

father-in-law,

son-in-law,

brother-in-law

sister-in-law

of a director, executive officer or a beneficial owner of more than 5% of Quanergy PubCo’s voting stock, and any person (other than a tenant or employee) sharing the household of such director, executive officer or beneficial owner of more than 5% of Quanergy PubCo’s voting stock; and

•

any firm, corporation or other entity in which any of the foregoing persons is a partner or principal, or in a similar position, or in which such person has a 10% or greater beneficial ownership interest.

COMPARISON OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS

CCAC is an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the Cayman Islands Companies Law. The Cayman Islands Companies Law and the Cayman Constitutional Documents govern the rights of its shareholders. The Cayman Islands Companies Law differs in some material respects from laws generally applicable to United States corporations and their stockholders. In addition, the Cayman Constitutional Documents will differ in certain material respects from the Proposed Organizational Documents. As a result, when you become a stockholder of Quanergy PubCo, your rights will differ in some regards as compared to when you were a shareholder of CCAC.

Below is a summary chart outlining important similarities and differences in the corporate governance and stockholder/shareholder rights associated with each of CCAC and Quanergy PubCo according to applicable law or the organizational documents of CCAC and Quanergy PubCo.

This summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the Cayman Constitutional Documents of CCAC, attached to this proxy statement / prospectus as Annex H, the complete text of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement / prospectus as Annex J and the complete text of the Proposed Bylaws, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement / prospectus as Annex I. You should review each of the Proposed Organizational Documents, as well as the Delaware corporate law and corporate laws of the Cayman Islands, including the Cayman Islands Companies Law, to understand how these laws apply to Quanergy PubCo and CCAC, respectively.


	Delaware	Cayman Islands
Stockholder/Shareholder Approval of Business Combinations	Mergers generally require approval of a majority of all outstanding shares. Mergers in which less than 20% of the acquirer’s stock is issued generally do not require acquirer stockholder approval. Mergers in which one corporation owns 90% or more of a second corporation may be completed without the vote of the second corporation’s board of directors or stockholders.	Mergers require a special resolution, and any other authorization as may be specified in the relevant articles of association. Parties holding certain security interests in the constituent companies must also consent. All mergers (other than parent/subsidiary mergers) require shareholder approval—there is no exception for smaller mergers. Where a bidder has acquired 90% or more of the shares in a Cayman Islands company, it can compel the acquisition of the shares of the remaining shareholders and thereby become the sole shareholder. A Cayman Islands company may also be acquired through a “scheme of arrangement” sanctioned by a Cayman Islands court and approved by 50%+1 in number and 75% in value of shareholders in attendance and voting at a shareholders’ meeting.

	Delaware	Cayman Islands
Stockholder/Shareholder Votes for Routine Matters	Generally, approval of routine corporate matters that are put to a stockholder vote require the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter.	Under the Cayman Islands Companies Law and Cayman Constitutional Documents, routine corporate matters may be approved by an ordinary resolution (being a resolution passed (a) by a simple majority of the shareholders as being entitled to do so vote at a meeting in person or by proxy where the articles of association permit proxies or (b) by unanimous written resolution).
Appraisal Rights	Generally, a stockholder of a publicly traded corporation does not have appraisal rights in connection with a merger.	Minority shareholders that dissent from a merger are entitled to be paid the fair market value of their shares, which if necessary may ultimately be determined by the court.
Inspection of Books and Records	Any stockholder may inspect the corporation’s books and records for a proper purpose during the usual hours for business.	Shareholders generally do not have any rights to inspect or obtain copies of the register of shareholders or other corporate records of a company.
Stockholder/Shareholder Lawsuits	A stockholder may bring a derivative suit subject to procedural requirements (including adopting Delaware as the exclusive forum as per Organizational Documents Proposal 4B).	In the Cayman Islands, the decision to institute proceedings on behalf of a company is generally taken by the company’s board of directors. A shareholder may be entitled to bring a derivative action on behalf of the company, but only in certain limited circumstances.
Fiduciary Duties of Directors	Directors must exercise a duty of care and duty of loyalty and good faith to the company and its stockholders.	A director owes fiduciary duties to a company, including to exercise loyalty, honesty and good faith to the company as a whole. In addition to fiduciary duties, directors of CCAC owe a duty of care, diligence and skill. Such duties are owed to the company but may be owed direct to creditors or shareholders in certain limited circumstances.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers	A corporation is generally permitted to indemnify its directors and officers acting in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.	A Cayman Islands company generally may indemnify its directors or officers except with regard to fraud or willful default.

DESCRIPTION OF QUANERGY PUBCO SECURITIES

The following summary of certain provisions of Quanergy PubCo securities does not purport to be complete and is subject to the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, the Proposed Bylaws and the provisions of applicable law. Copies of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws are attached to this proxy statement / prospectus as Annex J and Annex I, respectively.

Authorized Capitalization

General

The total amount of Quanergy PubCo’s authorized share capital consists of 300,000,000 shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of Quanergy PubCo preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. Quanergy PubCo expects to have approximately 110,239,004 shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock outstanding immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, excluding contingent shares and assuming no public shareholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination.

The following summary describes all material provisions of Quanergy PubCo’s capital stock. Quanergy PubCo urges you to read the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws (copies of which are attached to this proxy statement / prospectus as Annex J and Annex I, respectively).

Preferred Stock

The board of directors of Quanergy PubCo has authority to issue shares of Quanergy PubCo’s preferred stock in one or more series, to fix for each such series such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences, and relative participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including without limitation thereof, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, and to increase or decrease the number of shares for the issue of such series all to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. The issuance of Quanergy PubCo’s preferred stock could have the effect of decreasing the trading price of Quanergy PubCo’s common stock, restricting dividends on Quanergy PubCo’s capital stock, diluting the voting power of Quanergy PubCo’s common stock, impairing the liquidation rights of Quanergy PubCo’s capital stock, or delaying or preventing a change in control of Quanergy PubCo.

Common Stock

Quanergy PubCo common stock is not entitled to preemptive or other similar subscription rights to purchase any of Quanergy PubCo’s securities. Quanergy PubCo common stock is neither convertible nor redeemable. Unless Quanergy PubCo’s board of directors determines otherwise, Quanergy PubCo will issue all of Quanergy PubCo’s capital stock in uncertificated form.

Voting Rights

Each holder of Quanergy PubCo common stock is entitled to one vote per share on each matter submitted to a vote of stockholders, as provided by the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation. The Proposed Bylaws provide that the holders of a majority of the capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person, or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business. When a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast is required to take action, unless otherwise specified by law, the Proposed Bylaws or the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, and except for the election of directors, which is determined by a plurality vote. There are no cumulative voting rights.

319

Table of Contents

Dividend Rights

Each holder of shares of Quanergy PubCo’s capital stock is entitled to the payment of dividends and other distributions as may be declared by the board of directors of Quanergy PubCo from time to time out of Quanergy PubCo’s assets or funds legally available for dividends or other distributions. These rights are subject to the preferential rights of the holders of Quanergy PubCo’s preferred stock, if any, and any contractual limitations on Quanergy PubCo’s ability to declare and pay dividends.

Other Rights

Each holder of Quanergy PubCo common stock is subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any series of Quanergy PubCo preferred stock that Quanergy PubCo may designate and issue in the future.

Liquidation Rights

If Quanergy PubCo is involved in voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Quanergy PubCo’s affairs, or a similar event, each holder of Quanergy PubCo common stock will participate pro rata in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of Quanergy PubCo preferred stock, if any, then outstanding.

Anti-takeover Effects of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws contain provisions that may delay, defer or discourage another party from acquiring control of Quanergy PubCo. Quanergy PubCo expects that these provisions, which are summarized below, will discourage coercive takeover practices or inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of Quanergy PubCo to first negotiate with the board of directors of Quanergy PubCo, which Quanergy PubCo believes may result in an improvement of the terms of any such acquisition in favor of Quanergy PubCo’s stockholders. However, they also give the Board the power to discourage mergers that some stockholders may favor.

Special Meetings of Stockholders

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation provides that a special meeting of stockholders may be called by the (a) the Chairperson of the board of directors of Quanergy PubCo, (b) the board of directors of Quanergy PubCo, (c) the Chief Executive Officer of Quanergy PubCo or (d) the President of Quanergy PubCo, provided that such special meeting may be postponed, rescheduled or cancelled by the board of directors of Quanergy PubCo or other person calling the meeting.

Action by Written Consent

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation provides that any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders must be effected at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, and may not be taken by written consent in lieu of a meeting.

Removal of Directors

The board of directors of Quanergy PubCo or any individual director may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of voting stock of Quanergy PubCo entitled to vote at an election of directors.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute

Section 203 of the DGCL provides that if a person acquires 15% or more of the voting stock of a Delaware corporation, such person becomes an “interested stockholder” and may not engage in certain “business combinations” with such corporation for a period of three years from the time such person acquired 15% or more of such corporation’s voting stock, unless: (1) the board of directors of such corporation approves the acquisition of stock or the merger transaction before the time that the person becomes an interested stockholder, (2) the interested stockholder owns at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock of such corporation at the time the merger transaction commences (excluding voting stock owned by directors who are also officers and certain employee stock plans), or (3) the merger transaction is approved by the board of directors and at a meeting of stockholders, not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of 2/3 of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. A Delaware corporation may elect in its certificate of incorporation or bylaws not to be governed by this particular Delaware law. Under the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, Quanergy PubCo opted out of Section 203 of the DGCL, but will provide other similar restrictions regarding takeovers by interested stockholders.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation provides that Quanergy PubCo will indemnify Quanergy PubCo’s directors to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable law. Quanergy PubCo expects to enter into agreements to indemnify Quanergy PubCo’s directors, executive officers and other employees as determined by the board of directors of Quanergy PubCo. Under the Proposed Bylaws, Quanergy PubCo is required to indemnify each of Quanergy PubCo’s directors and officers if the basis of the indemnitee’s involvement was by reason of the fact that the indemnitee is or was a director or officer of Quanergy PubCo or was serving at Quanergy PubCo’s request as a director, officer, employee or agent for another entity. Quanergy PubCo must indemnify Quanergy PubCo’s officers and directors against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner the indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Quanergy PubCo, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. The Proposed Bylaws also require Quanergy PubCo to advance expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a director or officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding, provided that such person will repay any such advance if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification by Quanergy PubCo. Any claims for indemnification by Quanergy PubCo’s directors and officers may reduce Quanergy PubCo’s available funds to satisfy successful third-party claims against Quanergy PubCo and may reduce the amount of money available to Quanergy PubCo.

Exclusive Jurisdiction of Certain Actions

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation requires, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that derivative actions brought in the name of Quanergy PubCo, actions against directors, officers and employees for breach of fiduciary duty, any provision of the DGCL, the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, the Proposed Bylaws and other similar actions may be brought only in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, in the event that the Chancery Court does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware) and, if brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to (a) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the exclusive jurisdiction provisions of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and (b) service of process on such stockholder’s counsel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation will provide that the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts of the United States have exclusive jurisdiction. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created

321

Table of Contents

by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Although Quanergy PubCo believes this provision benefits Quanergy PubCo by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies, the provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against Quanergy PubCo’s directors and officers.

SECURITIES ACT RESTRICTIONS ON RESALE OF QUANERGY PUBCO SECURITIES

Pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), a person who has beneficially owned restricted Quanergy PubCo common stock or Quanergy PubCo warrants for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been an affiliate of Quanergy PubCo at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) Quanergy PubCo is subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and have filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months (or such shorter period as Quanergy PubCo was required to file reports) preceding the sale.

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock or Quanergy PubCo warrants for at least six months but who are affiliates of Quanergy PubCo at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:

•

1% of the total number of shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock then outstanding; or

•

the average weekly reported trading volume of Quanergy PubCo’s common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

Sales by affiliates of Quanergy PubCo under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about Quanergy PubCo.

Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies

Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met:

•

the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;

•

the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

•

the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and

•

at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

As a result, the Sponsor will be able to sell their founder shares and private placement warrants, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 144 without registration one year after CCAC has completed CCAC’s initial business combination.

CCAC anticipates that following the consummation of the Business Combination, Quanergy PubCo will no longer be a shell company, and so, once the conditions set forth in the exceptions listed above are satisfied, Rule 144 will become available for the resale of the above noted restricted securities.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITY

CCAC is a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated with limited liability. If CCAC does not change its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware by effecting the domestication, you may have difficulty serving legal process within the United States upon CCAC. You may also have difficulty enforcing, both in and outside the United States, judgments you may obtain in U.S. courts against CCAC in any action, including actions based upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal or state securities laws. Furthermore, there is doubt that the courts of the Cayman Islands would enter judgments in original actions brought in those courts predicated on U.S. federal or state securities laws. However, CCAC may be served with process in the United States with respect to actions against CCAC arising out of or in connection with violation of U.S. federal securities laws relating to offers and sales of CCAC’s securities by serving CCAC’s U.S. agent irrevocably appointed for that purpose.

Note 1—Description of Organization and Business Operations

Organization and General

rticular

industry

or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company intends to focus its search on the energy efficiency, clean technology and sustainability sectors. The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through June 30, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering described below, and, since the completion of the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) as defined below, searching for a target to consummate a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the IPO and will recognize changes in the fair value of warrant liability as other income (expense).

The Company’s sponsor is CITIC Capital Acquisition LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”)

Financing

Initial Public Offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) of

27,600,000 units (each, a “Unit” and collectively, the “Units”), including 3,600,000 Units issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $276 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $15.70 million, inclusive of $9.66 million in deferred underwriting commissions (Note 3). The Company intends to finance its initial Business Combination with the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and a $7.52 million private placement of warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) (Note 4). Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $276 million was held in a trust account (discussed below). As of

June 30, 2021

the Company had approximately $126,622 in cash held outside of the trust account (discussed below).

Trust Account

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, $276 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering, including the proceeds of the Private Placement Warrants, was held in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), located in the United States at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”) having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under

Rule 2a-7

promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

Table of Contents

Initial Business Combination

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete an initial Business Combination with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount held in the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

The Company will provide its holders (the “Public Shareholders”) of its Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001, sold in the Initial Public Offering (the “Public Shares”), with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a

pro-rata

portion of the amount in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.00 per Public Share). The

per-share

amount to be distributed to Public Shareholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 5). These Public Shares will be classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 and the approval of an ordinary resolution. If a shareholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transactions is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% or more of the Class A ordinary shares sold in the Initial Public Offering, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Company’s Sponsor, officers and directors (the “initial shareholders”) have agreed, pursuant to a written agreement with the Company, that they will not propose any amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (the “Combination Period”), which is February 13, 2022, or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or

pre-initial

Business Combination activity, unless the Company

F-7

Table of Contents

provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A ordinary shares upon approval of any such amendment

at a per-share price, payable

in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares.

The Company will have 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering to complete its initial Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a

per-share

price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any) and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law.

On June 21, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, CITIC Capital Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Quanergy Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Quanergy”).

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 Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (the “DGCL”), Merger Sub will merge with and into Quanergy, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and Quanergy will be the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”); as a result of the Merger, among other things, in the aggregate, a number of the Company’s ordinary shares (or a number shares of the Company’s common stock after its Domestication (as defined below), the “Quanergy PubCo common stock”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) $970,000,000 by (y) $10.00 will be issued or issuable to holders of outstanding Quanergy capital stock, including any shares of Quanergy capital stock issued or issuable pursuant to exercise or conversion of any warrants or convertible notes, and Quanergy equity awards, calculated using the treasury stock method of accounting; and upon the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), the Company will immediately be renamed “Quanergy Systems, Inc.”

The Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, closing conditions, termination fee provisions and other terms relating to the initial Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated thereby.

The Merger Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions, including, among others, (i) approval of the Business Combination and related agreements and transactions by the respective shareholders of the Company and Quanergy, (ii) effectiveness of the proxy / registration statement on Form

S-4

to be filed by the Company in connection with the Business Combination, (iii) expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act and the achievement of CFIUS clearance (as contemplated by the Merger Agreement), (iv) receipt of approval for listing on the NYSE of the shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock to be issued in connection with the Merger, (v) that after redemption, the Company’s net tangible assets shall be no less than $5,000,001 upon Closing and (vi) the absence of certain injunctions.

Other conditions to Quanergy’s obligations to consummate the Merger include, among others, that as of the Closing, (i) the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation will be changed from the Cayman Islands to the State of

F-8

Table of Contents

Delaware (the “Domestication”), and (ii) the amount of cash available in (x) the Trust Account, following the extraordinary general meeting, into which substantially all of the proceeds of the Company’s initial public offering and private placements of its warrants have been deposited for the benefit of the Company, certain of its public shareholders and the underwriters of the Company’s initial public offering, after deducting the amount required to satisfy the Company’s obligations to its shareholders (if any) that exercise their rights to redeem their Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Companies Act (as revised) of the Cayman Islands the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association ( the “Cayman Constitutional Documents”) (the “Trust Amount”) plus (y) the PIPE Investment (as defined below), is at least equal to $175,000,000.

The Company has entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain institutional and accredited investors, including, among others, certain existing equityholders of Quanergy (the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed to purchase, in the

aggregate

, 4,000,000 shares of Quanergy PubCo

common

stock at $10.00 per share for an aggregate commitment amount of $40 million (the “PIPE Investment Amoun

t”).

Liquidity

s of

June 30, 2021

, the Company had cash outside the Trust Account of $126,622 available for working capital needs. All cash and securities held in the Trust Account are generally unavailable for the Company’s use, prior to an initial Business Combination, and are restricted for use either in a Business Combination or to redeem ordinary shares. As of

June 30, 2021

, none of the amount in the Trust Account was available to be withdrawn as described above.

Through

June 30, 2021

the Company’s liquidity needs were satisfied through receipt of $25,000 from the sale of the Founder Shares, advances from the Sponsor in an aggregate amount of $300,000 which were repaid upon the Initial Public Offering (as described in Note 4) and the remaining net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement (as described in Note 3 and 4).

The Company anticipates that the $126,622

outside of the Trust Account as of June 30, 2021, as well as the Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 4), will be sufficient to allow the Company to operate for at least as of February 13, 2022, assuming that a Business Combination is not consummated before February 13, 2022. In addition, on June 21, 2021, the Company has entered into the Subscription Agreements with PIPE Investors, pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed to purchase, in the aggregate, 4,000,000 shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock at $10.00 per share for an aggregate commitment amount of $40 million. The PIPE Investment Amounts will be used to pay the expenses related to the Business Combination with Quanergy.

The Company does not believe it will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating its business. However, if the Company’s estimates of the costs of undertaking

in-depth

due diligence and negotiating Business Combination is less than the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to the Business Combination. Moreover, the Company will need to raise additional capital through loans from its Sponsor, officers, directors, or third parties. None of the Sponsor, officers or directors are under any obligation to advance funds to, or to invest in, the Company. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of its business plan, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

Going Concern

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)

2014-15,

“Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that if the Company is unable to complete a

F-9

Table of Contents

Business Combination by February 13, 2022, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after June 30, 2021.

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position as of June 30, 2021 and the results of operations and cash flows for the period presented and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s prospectus for its Initial Public Offering as filed with the SEC on February 12, 2020, the Company’s Cu

orts

on Form 8-K, as filed

with the SEC on February 13, 2020, February 20, 2020, and March 30, 2020, as well as the Company’s Current Reports on Form

as filed with the SEC on May 25, 2021. The interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or for any future periods

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

opt-out

of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to

non-emerging

growth companies but any such an election to

opt-out

is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to

opt-out

of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make the comparison of the Company’s financial statement with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging

growth

company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

F-10

Table of Contents

financial statement, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liability. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of

June 30, 2021.

Investments Held in Trust Account

At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2021

, the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds. The Company’s portfolio of investments held in the Trust Account is comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities, cash, or a combination thereof. The

Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in gain on Investments Held in Trust Account in the accompanying statement of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Offering Costs

The Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC

340-10-S99-1

and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 5A—“Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consist of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounting to $1,044,453 were allocated to public warrants and expensed, offering costs amounting to $14,661,607 were charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “

Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity

.” Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of

June 30, 2021

and December 31, 2020, 23,737,477 and 22,747,963 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption were presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s unaudited condensed balance sheets respectively.

Net Income (loss) per Ordinary Share

The Company’s condensed statement of operations includes a presentation of income (loss) per share for common shares subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the

two-class

method of income (loss) per share. Net income per common share, basic and diluted for Class A redeemable ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account and the gain on the sale of marketable securities totaling $13,780 and $1,831,868

for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020

by the weighted average number of Class A redeemable ordinary shares outstanding since original issuance.

F-11

Table of Contents

Net income per ordinary share, basic and diluted

for Class B non-redeemable ordinary

share is calculated by dividing the net income, adjusted for income attributable to Class A redeemable ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of Class B

non-redeemable

ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Class B

non-redeemable

ordinary shares includes the Founder Shares as these shares do not have any redemption features and do not participate in the income earned on the Trust Account.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were 0 unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. NaN amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company is currently not aware of any issues that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the period presented.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the condensed balance sheets

, other than the derivative warrant liability.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers includ

•

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

•

Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

•

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

F-12

Table of Contents

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company’s

private warrants

liability is based on a valuation model utilizing management judgment and pricing inputs from observable and unobservable markets with less volume and transaction frequency than active markets. Significant deviations from these estimates and inputs could result in a material change in fair value. See Note 6 for additional information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”.

Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value on the grant date

and re-valued at

each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified on the balance sheet as current

or non-current based

on whether or

not net-cash settlement

or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. The Company has determined the warrants are a derivative instrument.

FASB

ASC 470-20, Debt

with Conversion and Other Options addresses the allocation of proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt into its equity and debt components. The Company applies this guidance to allocate IPO proceeds from the Units between Class A common stock and warrants, using the residual method by allocating IPO proceeds first to fair value of the warrants and then the Class A common stock.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 3—Initial Public Offering

On February 13, 2020, the Company sold 27,600,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, including 3,600,000 Units issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001
per share and

one-half

of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 6).

The Company paid an underwriting discount at the closing of the Initial Public Offering of $5.52 million. An additional fee of $9.66 million was deferred

and

will become payable upon the Company’s completion of an

F-13

Table of Contents

initial Business Combination.

The

deferred portion of the discount will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes its initial Business Combination.

Warrants

The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder (or the Company permits holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under the circumstances specified in the warrant agreement). If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. The Company is not registering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants at this time. The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC and have an effective registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company’s Class A ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so

elects

, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, the Company will use its best efforts to

or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

The warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. If (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per Class A ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the initial shareholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the initial shareholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination, and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A ordinary shares during the 10 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates the initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the Warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price of the Warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, (iii) may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis and (iv) will be entitled to registration rights. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

The Company may call the Public Warrants for redemption (except with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

•

in whole and not in part;

•

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

•

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

•

if, and only if, the last reported closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a

30-trading

day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any Warrants. If the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the combination period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

value of the Private Warrants is the expected volatility of the ordinary shares. The expected volatility as of the IPO date was derived from the post-merger announced publicly traded warrants for comparable SPAC companies as of the valuation date. A Monte Carlo Simulation Method was used in estimating the fair value of the public warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available, using the same expected volatility as was used in measuring the fair value of the Private Warrants. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the warrants from the Units, including June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the closing price of the public warrants was used as the fair value as of each relevant date.

The key inputs into the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model for the Private Warrants were as follows at each of the following balance sheet dates:


Input	December 31, 2020			June 30, 2021
Risk-free interest rate		0.47	%		0.99	%

Report of Independent Registered Public

Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of

CITIC Capital Acquisition Corp.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of CITIC Capital Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020 and for the period from September 9, 2019 (inception) to December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for year ended December 31, 2020 and for the period from September 9, 2019 (inception) to December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Restatement of Financial Statements

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued a public statement entitled Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”) (the “Public Statement”) on April 12, 2021, which discusses the accounting for certain warrants as liabilities. The Company previously accounted for its warrants as equity instruments. Management evaluated its warrants against the Public Statement, and determined that the warrants should be accounted for as liabilities. Accordingly, the 2020 financial statements have been restated to correct the accounting and related disclosure for the warrants.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, if the Company is unable to complete a business combination by February 13, 2022, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

F-21

Table of Contents

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes To Financial Statements

December 31, 2020

Note 1—Description of Organization and Business Operations

Organization and General

CITIC Capital Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on September 9, 2019. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company intends to focus its search on the energy efficiency, clean technology and sustainability sectors. The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through December 31, 2020 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering described below, and, since the completion of the initial public offering, searching for a target to consummate a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will

generate non-operating income

in the form of interest income on investments held in Trust Account from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering (as defined below) and will recognize changes in the fair value of warrant liability as other income (expense). The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The Company’s sponsor is CITIC Capital Acquisition LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).

Financing

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering (as defined below) was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 10, 2020. On February 13, 2020, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) of 27,600,000 units (each, a “Unit” and collectively, the “Units”), including 3,600,000 Units issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $276 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $15.7 million, inclusive of $9.66 million in deferred underwriting commissions (Note 4). Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 7.52 million warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a price of $1.00 per warrant (Note 5), generating gross proceeds of $7.52 million. The Company intends to finance its initial Business Combination with the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and private placement. Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the private placement, $276 million was held in a trust account (discussed below). As of December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $0.98 million in cash held outside of the trust account (discussed below).

Trust Account

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, $276 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering, including the proceeds of the Private Placement Warrants, was held in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), located in the United States at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under

Rule 2a-7 promulgated

under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

Table of Contents

Initial Business Combination

The Company will provide its holders of its Class A ordinary shares (the “Public Shareholders”), par value $0.0001, sold in the Initial Public Offering (the “Public Shares”), with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a

pro-rata

portion of the amount in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.00 per Public Share).

The per-share amount

to be distributed to Public Shareholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 6). These Public Shares will be classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 and the approval of an ordinary resolution. If a shareholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transactions is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.

or pre-initial Business

provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A ordinary shares upon approval of any such amendment at

a per-share price,

payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any) and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law.

Liquidation

The initial shareholders have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the initial shareholders or members of the Company’s management team acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to its deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00 per share initially held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Going Concern

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $913,755 in working capital and $981,606 of cash outside the Trust Account available for working capital needs. All cash and securities held in the Trust Account are generally

F-

Table of Contents

unavailable for the Company’s use, prior to an initial Business Combination, and are restricted for use either in a Business Combination or to redeem ordinary shares. As of December 31, 2020, none of the amount in the Trust Account was available to be withdrawn as described above.

Through December 31, 2020, the Company’s liquidity needs were satisfied through receipt of $25,000 from the sale of the Founder Shares, advances from the Sponsor in an aggregate amount of $300,000 which were repaid upon the Initial Public Offering (as described in Note 5) and the funds held outside the Trust Account and private placement (as described in Note 4 and 5).

The Company anticipates that the $981,606 outside of the Trust Account as of December 31, 2020, will be sufficient to allow the Company to operate for at least the next 12 months, assuming that a Business Combination is not consummated during that time. Until consummation of its Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account, and any additional Working Capital Loans (as defined below) from the Initial Shareholders, the Company’s officers and directors, or their respective affiliates (which is described in Note 5), for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

The Company does not believe it will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating its business. However, if the Company’s estimates of the costs of

undertaking in-depth due

diligence and negotiating Business Combination is less than the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to the Business Combination. Moreover, the Company will need to raise additional capital through loans from its Sponsor, officers, directors, or third parties. None of the Sponsor, officers or directors are under any obligation to advance funds to, or to invest in, the Company. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. In addition, if the Company is not able to consummate a Business Combination before February 13, 2022, the Company will commence an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation. Management has determined that the automatic liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after February 13, 2022. Management plans to continue efforts to close a Business Combination within the prescribed time frame.

Note 2—Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

On April 12, 2021, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission together issued a statement regarding the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC Statement”). Specifically, the SEC Statement focused on certain settlement terms and provisions related to certain tender offers following a Business Combination, which terms are similar to those contained in the warrant agreement, dated as of September 8, 2020, between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agreement”). As a result of the SEC Statement, the Company reevaluated the accounting treatment of (i) the 13,800,000 Public Warrants, (ii) the 7,520,000 Private Warrants, (See Note 4 and Note 5). The Company previously accounted for all Warrants as components of equity.

In further consideration of the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification

(“ASC”) 815-40, Derivatives

and Hedging; Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, the Company concluded that a provision in the Warrant Agreement related to certain tender or exchange offers precludes the Warrants from being accounted for as components of equity. As the Warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, the Warrants should be recorded as derivative liabilities on the Balance Sheet and measured at fair value at inception (on the date of the

F-

Table of Contents

IPO) and at each reporting

date in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, with changes in fair value recognized in the Statement of Operations in the period of change.

The Company’s management and the audit committee of the Company’s Board of Directors concluded that it is appropriate to restate the Company’s previously issued audited financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the period from September 9, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2020, as previously reported in its

Form 10-K. The

restated classification and reported values of the Warrants as accounted for under

ASC 815-40 are

included in the financial statements herein.

The following tables summarize the effect of the restatement on each financial statement line item as of the dates, and for the period, indicated:

Note 3—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements of the Company are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not

F-33

Table of Contents

emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

to opt-out of

the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply

to non-emerging growth

companies but any such an election

to opt-out is

irrevocable. The Company has elected not

to opt-out of

such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make the comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statement, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of

three

months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Investments Held in Trust Account

At December 31, 2020, the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds. The Company’s portfolio of investments held in the Trust Account is comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities, cash, or a combination thereof. The Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in gain on Investments Held in Trust Account in the accompanying statement of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information.

F-34

Table of Contents

Offering Costs

The Company complies with the requirements of FASB

ASC 340-10-S99-1 and

SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 5A—“Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consist of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounting to $1,044,453 were allocated to public warrants and expensed, offering costs amounting to $14,661,607 were charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2020, 22,747,963 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption were presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

Net Income (loss) per Ordinary Share

Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. The Company has not considered the effect of warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement to purchase 7,520,000 of Class A ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share, since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company’s statements of operations include a presentation of income (loss) per share for ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the

two-class

method of income (loss) per share. Net income per ordinary share, basic and diluted for Class A redeemable ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account and the gain on the sale of marketable securities totaling $1,845,877 for the year ended December 31, 2020 by the weighted average number of Class A redeemable ordinary shares outstanding since original issuance. Net loss per ordinary share, basic and diluted for

Class B non-redeemable ordinary

shares is calculated by dividing the net income, adjusted for income attributable to Class A redeemable ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of

Class B non-redeemable ordinary

shares outstanding for the period.

Class B non-redeemable ordinary

shares includes the Founder Shares as these shares do not have any redemption features and do not participate in the income earned on the Trust Account.

Net loss per share for the period from September 9, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019 is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of Class B ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding ordinary shares subject to forfeiture. Weighted average shares were reduced for the effect of an aggregate of 900,000 ordinary shares that are subject to forfeiture by the Company if the over-allotment option is not exercised by the underwriters (see Note 8).

The Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the period presented.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were 0 unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. NaN amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company is currently not aware of any issues that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation coverage limits of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Fair Value Measurements

•

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

•

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.

The Company’s warrant liability is based on a valuation model utilizing management judgment and pricing inputs from observable and unobservable markets with less volume and transaction frequency than active markets. Significant deviations from these estimates and inputs could result in a material change in fair value. The fair value of the warrant liability is classified as level 1 for the public warrants and level 3 for the private warrants. See Note 7 for additional information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Derivative Financial Instruments

and re-valued at

each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified on the balance sheet as current

or non-current based

on whether or

not net-cash settlement

or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. The Company has determined the warrants are a derivative instrument.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of

the COVID-19 pandemic

on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty

and one-half of

one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment.

The Company paid an underwriting discount at the closing of the Initial Public Offering of $5.52 million. An additional fee of $9.66 million was deferred and will become payable upon the Company’s completion of an initial Business Combination. The deferred portion of the discount will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes its initial Business Combination.

Warrants

As of December 31, 2020, there were 21,320,000 warrants outstanding, including 13,800,000 public warrants and 7,520,000 private warrants. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination or (b)12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder (or the Company permits holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under the circumstances specified in the warrant agreement). If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. The Company is not registering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants at this time. The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC and have an effective registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any

F-38

Table of Contents

period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company’s Class A ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, the Company will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants (i) will not be redeemable by the Company, (ii) may not (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, (iii) may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis and (iv) will be entitled to registration rights. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

The Company may call the Public Warrants for redemption (except with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

•

in whole and not in part;

•

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

•

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

•

if, and only if, the last reported closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within

a 30-trading day

period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

Founder Shares

On November 14, 2019, the Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share, to cover certain offering costs in consideration for 5,750,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Founder Shares”). Effective December 10, 2019, the Sponsor transferred 718,750 Founder Shares to Henri Arif, the Company’s independent director, for a purchase price of $3,125 (the

same per-share price

initially paid by the Sponsor), resulting in the Sponsor holding 5,031,250 Founder Shares. On February 10, 2020, the Company effected a share capitalization of 1,150,000 Class B ordinary shares and as a result, Mr. Arif holds 862,500 Founder Shares. On May 7, 2020, the Sponsor transferred 22,000 Founder Shares to Ross Haghighat, the Company’s independent director, for 0 consideration.

As of December 31, 2020, the Sponsor holds 6,015,500 Founder Shares. The initial shareholders had agreed to forfeit up to 900,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters. As of December 31, 2020, the underwriter had exercised its over-allotment option in full, hence, these Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

(the “lock-up”). Notwithstanding

the foregoing, if (1) the closing price of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within

any 30-trading day

period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination or (2) if the Company consummates a transaction after the initial Business Combination which results in the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property, the Founder Shares will be released from

the lock-up.

Sponsor Loan

On December 9, 2019, the Sponsor loaned the Company $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). This loan

was non-interest bearing

and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2020 or the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The full $300,000 was repaid on February 13, 2020.

Working Capital Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company will repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans.

Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had 0 Working Capital Loans outstanding.

Administrative Services Agreement

Commencing on February 13, 2020, the Company has agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company incurred $105,862 in such administrative services under this arrangement. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees.

Note 6—Commitments & Contingencies

Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants, and securities that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any, will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement dated as of February 10, 2020. These holders are entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $5,520,000, or $0.20 per Unit of the gross proceeds of the initial 27,600,000 Units (inclusive of 3,600,000 Unit over-allotment option) sold in the Initial Public Offering, in the aggregate. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of (i) $0.35 per Unit of the gross proceeds of the initial 24,000,000 Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, or $8,400,000, and (ii) $0.35 per Unit of the gross proceeds from the 3,600,000 Units sold pursuant to the over-allotment option, or $1,260,000, aggregating to a deferred fee of $9,660,000. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Note 7—Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the

F-41

Table of Contents

transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs

based on the Company’s assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

At December 31, 2020, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $277,845,876 in money market funds. Through December 31, 2020, the Company did

t withdraw any interest earned on the Trust Account.


	Carrying Value		Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Other Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Assets:
Investments held in Trust Account—Money Market Fund	$	277,845,876	$	277,845,876	$	—	$	0—

Liabilities:
Warrant Liabilities—Public Warrants	$	23,460,000	$	23,460,000		—		0—
Warrant Liabilities—Private Warrants	$	13,160,000		—		—	$	13,160,000

	$	36,620,000	$	23,460,000		—	$	13,160,000

The Warrants were accounted for as liabilities in accordance with

ASC 815-40 and

are presented within warrant liabilities on the balance sheet. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the consolidated statement of operations.

The Private Warrants were initially valued using a Black Scholes Option Pricing Model. The Private Warrants are considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurements due to the use of unobservable inputs. The Black Scholes Option Pricing Model’s primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the Private Warrants is the expected volatility of the ordinary shares. The expected volatility as of the IPO date was derived from the post-merger announced publicly traded warrants for comparable SPAC companies as of the valuation date. A Monte Carlo Simulation Method was used in estimating the fair value of the public warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available, using the same expected volatility as was used in measuring the fair value of the Private Warrants. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the warrants from the Units, including December 31, 2020, the closing price of the public warrants was used as the fair value as of each relevant date.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by

Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under

the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2020. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in

Rules 13a-15 (e)

and 15d-15 (e)

under the Exchange Act) were not effective, due solely to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form

10-K.

In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Annual Report on

Form 10-K present

fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.

F-44

Table of Contents

During the most recently completed fiscal year, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Due solely to the events that led to our restatement of our financial statements, management has identified a material weakness in internal controls related to the accounting for warrants issued in connection with our initial public offering, as described in Note 2 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements entitled “Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements.”

This annual report does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting due to a transition period established by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for newly public companies. This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. As an emerging growth company, management’s report is not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm.

QUANERGY SYSTEMS, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(1)	Organization

(a)	Description of Business

Quanergy Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) designs, develops and produces Light Detection and Ranging (“LiDAR”) sensors and is a leader in 3D sensing that delivers robust and intelligent real-time 3D object detection and classification solutions. Currently, the Company’s applications and products are targeted towards five key market groups: 1) the Security market where the company builds applications leveraging the mechanical M Series LiDAR combined with proprietary software for perimeter security and intrusion detection applications; 2) the Smart Cities / Spaces market, where the company’s flow management tools are used in cities and municipalities to improve the movement and safety of their citizens in dense urban settings; 3) the Mapping market, where customers are currently utilizing the M8 mechanical LiDAR for terrestrial and aerial mapping; 4) the Industrial market, where the Company is launching its solid state and mechanical LiDAR solutions for material handling, logistics, and measurement; and 5) the Transportation market which consists of passenger vehicles as well as heavy vehicles and off highway applications such as agricultural and mining equipment, where the Company is primarily looking to service this market through its solid state S Series LiDAR for use in Advanced Driver Assist Systems as well as in highly automated vehicle applications.

The Company was founded in 2012 and is currently headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, with subsidiaries in Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, United Arab Emirates, China, Hong Kong and Japan.

(b)	Going Concern

The Company has prepared its consolidated financial statements assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $41.9 million of cash and cash equivalents. In June 2021, the Company entered into an agreement and plan to merge (“the Merger”) with a subsidiary of CITIC Capital Acquisition Corp. (“CCAC”), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”), subject to the approval of the Company and CCAC’s stockholders, as discussed more fully in “Note 1(d) - Proposed Business Combination”.

The Company will be required to repay a $34.9 million obligation due March 2022 (the “2022 secured Notes”) consisting of the principal amount and deferred interest due through March 2022. Given that the Company has historically generated recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operations it may be unable to make such specified debt repayments when the balance is due. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, for a period of twelve months following the date of issuance of financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2021. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(c)	Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2021 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. Certain information and note disclosures normally included

F-52

Table of Contents

in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. As such, the information included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(d)	Proposed Business Combination

On June 21, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with CCAC and CITIC Capital Merger Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of CCAC (“Merger Sub”), for a proposed business combination. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and subject to the conditions thereof, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and the Company will be the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of CCAC (the “Merger”). The Merger is expected to be consummated in the fourth quarter of 2021, following the receipt of required approval by the stockholders of the Company and CCAC, required regulatory approvals, and the fulfillment of other conditions.

Upon consummation of the Merger, the Company’s stockholders will receive $970.0 million in the form of 97,000,000 newly issued shares of Quanergy PubCo. , including any shares of Quanergy capital stock issued or issuable pursuant to exercise or conversion of any warrants or convertible notes, and Quanergy equity awards, calculated using the treasury stock method of accounting; and upon the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), the Company will immediately be renamed “Quanergy Systems, Inc.” CCAC stockholders will receive $345.0 million in the form of 34,500,000 newly issued shares assuming no redemptions. There is a PIPE placement expected to be in the amount of $40 million for which CCAC has entered into subscription agreements with certain institutional and accredited investors, including, among others, certain existing stockholders of the Company (the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed to purchase, in the aggregate, 4,000,000 shares of Quanergy PubCo common stock at $10.00 per share.

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, and the Company will account for the acquisition of CCAC based on the amount of net assets at historical cost acquired upon consummation, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Under this method of accounting, CCAC will be treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of the Company’s issuing shares for the net assets of CCAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The Company would be determined to be the accounting acquiror in the transaction.

(2)	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, that have had a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.

(a)	Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, as well as related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Estimates are

F-53

Table of Contents

used for the fair value of common stock and convertible preferred stock, embedded derivative valuation, stock-based awards and other issuances, revenue recognition, useful lives of long-lived assets, warranty reserves, allowance for doubtful accounts, contingencies, deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions. Actual results could differ materially from the Company’s estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company’s financial condition or operating results will be affected. The Company bases its estimates on past experience and other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances, and the Company evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis.

(b)	Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606,

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

(“ASC 606”). The Company primarily enters into standard supply arrangements. Standard supply arrangements include the customer option to purchase LiDAR sensors, accessories, Quanergy Processing Units, servers, Qortex software (the Company’s proprietary software platform), post-contract support services (“PCS”) and extended warranties either on a standalone basis or in a bundled arrangement over specified periods. The Qortex software is offered either as a perpetual or term-based license.

To the extent a contract includes multiple promised products and services, the Company must apply judgment to determine whether promised products and services are capable of being distinct and are distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met the promised products and services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation. The Company has determined that all of its promised products and services are distinct, with the exception of certain software, training, certification, and professional services which are considered immaterial in the context of customer contracts and for which the Company has elected the practical expedient for immaterial goods and services.

Hardware

Based on the Company’s general terms of sale, legal title and physical possession of the Company’s hardware products, which include LiDAR sensors, accessories, Quanergy Processing Units, and servers, are transferred to the customer at shipment. Revenue on hardware is recognized at a point in time once the contractual shipping terms have been met and control is transferred.

Software

The Company primarily sells Qortex software licenses. Qortex software license arrangements provide a term-based or perpetual license bundled with related PCS. License revenue is primarily derived from the software that is embedded with the hardware or is deployed on the customers’ own servers. Licenses were determined to have significant standalone functionality and revenue is recognized upon transfer of control to the customer. The control for software is transferred at the later of delivery to the customer or the software license start date, however, there is ultimately minimal difference as the license keys are typically activated shortly after sale.

The term-based license arrangements generally have terms ranging from one to two years and are invoiced to customers in advance upon execution of the contract. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and in either deferred revenue or revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, depending on whether the underlying performance obligation has been satisfied.

Post-contract support services

Typically, the Company provides PCS, including unspecified updates, upgrades, and minor bug-fixes, for the term of a contract, which ranges from 12 to 24 months. PCS meets the criteria for over-time revenue recognition as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the services as the Company performs. As such, revenue is recognized ratably over the life of the agreement.

F-54

Table of Contents

Extended warranties

The Company typically provides a two-year standard limited warranty on its hardware offerings that covers manufacturing defects in material or workmanship.

In certain contracts, the Company provides the customer the option to purchase extended warranties, in addition to the warranty provided as part of the Company’s customary business practice. The extended warranty is a separate performance obligation and meets the criteria for over-time revenue recognition as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the services as the Company performs them. Similar to PCS, the extended warranty is representative of a stand-ready obligation, provided on a when-and-as needed basis, which does not follow a specific pattern of delivery. This performance obligation is satisfied over-time and hence, revenue is recognized ratably over the extended warranty term.

Contracts with multiple performance obligations

For contracts which contain multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates revenue to each distinct performance obligation based on the standalone selling price (“SSP”). As prices vary from customer to customer based on customer relationship, volume discount, and contract type, the Company has determined that the estimated sales price of its product is not directly observable. Accordingly, the Company estimates SSP using the expected cost plus a margin approach. The Company considers all reasonably available information in making these estimates including forecasted costs of developing and supplying each performance obligation, historical margins for products previously sold and adjustments for factors, such as current business priorities, class of customer, and market conditions.

Disaggregation of revenues

The Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts with customers by timing of transfer of goods or services to customers (point in time or over-time) and geographic region based on the customer’s location, as it believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Total revenue based on the disaggregation criteria described above is as follows (in thousands):


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2021		2020
Point in time	$	1,248	$	1,248
Over-time		40		115

Total net sales	$	1,288	$	1,363

Table of Contents

Shipping and handling costs and certain taxes

Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are not included in net sales. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in both net sales (for amounts invoiced to customers) and cost of goods sold in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Deferred revenue

Revenue is deferred when the Company has the right to invoice in advance of services being provided. The upfront payment pattern relative to the delivery of software licenses and its related support and maintenance and associated revenue recognition generates deferred revenue. Current and non-current portion of deferred revenue is recorded in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities respectively, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following provides information about deferred revenue from contracts with customers as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (in thousands):


	June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Deferred revenue, current	$	67	$	67
Deferred revenue, non-current		4		3

Total deferred revenue	$	71	$	70

Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations

As of June 30, 2021, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was immaterial.

Contract assets

Under Topic 606, contract assets include amounts related to the contractual right to consideration for both completed and partially completed performance obligations that may not have been invoiced. The contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional. Contract assets are expected to be included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The total value of the Company’s contract assets as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were immaterial.

Deferred costs

The Company applies the practical expedient to expense contract related costs as incurred if the expected benefit period is one year or less. This applies to all the sales commissions paid as the majority of the Company’s contracts have a benefit period of not more than one year.

(c)	Fair Value Measurement

The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market.

When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

•

Level 1 inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.

F-56

Table of Contents

•

Level 2 inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

•

Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value, on a recurring basis (in thousands):

The fair value of accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximated their carrying values as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, due to their short-term nature. The Company records long-term debt and long-term debt due to related parties on an amortized cost basis.

The fair value of the Convertible Notes was $90.5 million as of June 30, 2021. The carrying value of the Convertible Notes of $100.9 million, net of $46.2 million of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs, was recorded as long-term debt totaling $10.4 million, long-term debt - related party totaling $11.9 million and short-term debt totaling $32.4 million as of June 30, 2021.

The fair value of the Convertible Notes was $42.6 million as of December 31, 2020. The carrying value of the Convertible Notes of $51.3 million, net of $11.9 million of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs, was recorded as long-term debt totaling $33.4 million and long-term debt - related party totaling $6.0 million as of December 31, 2020.

Level 3 instruments consist solely of the Company’s embedded derivative in the Company’s notes payable. The Company classifies its financial instruments within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to lack of market data. See “Note 10 – Borrowing Arrangements” for details on the valuation of the embedded derivative in the convertible notes.

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 fair value hierarchy categories of financial instruments for the six months periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Table of Contents

(d)	Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. The Company considers all series of its convertible preferred stock to be participating securities. Net loss is attributed to common stockholders and participating securities based on their participation rights. Net loss attributable to common stockholders is not allocated to the convertible preferred stock as the holders of the convertible preferred stock do not have a contractual obligation to share in any losses.

Under the two-class method, basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

Diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders adjusts basic earnings per share for the potentially dilutive impact of convertible preferred stock, stock options, restricted stock units, common stock warrants and convertible notes. As the Company has reported losses for all periods presented, all potentially dilutive securities including convertible preferred stock, stock options, restricted stock units and convertible notes, are antidilutive and accordingly, basic net loss per share equals diluted net loss per share.

(e)	Derivative Liabilities

The Company evaluates the embedded conversion feature within its convertible debt instruments under ASC 815-15 and ASC 815-40 to determine if the conversion feature meets the definition of a liability and, if so, whether to bifurcate the conversion feature and account for it as a separate derivative liability. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months after the balance sheet date. The derivative is subject to re-measurement at the end of each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized as a component of other income (expense), net, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the conversion or maturity of the debt instruments.

(f)	Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset-and-liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense.

(g)	Deferred Transaction Costs

Deferred transaction costs, which consist of direct incremental legal, consulting, and accounting fees relating to the anticipated merger transaction, are capitalized and will be offset against proceeds upon the consummation of the transaction. In the event the anticipated transaction is terminated, deferred transaction

F-58

Table of Contents

costs will be expensed. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had not incurred such costs. As of June 30, 2021, the Company capitalized $1.8 million of deferred transaction costs, which are included in other long-term assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

(h)	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-15,

Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract

. The intent of this pronouncement is to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal use software as defined in ASC 350-40. Under ASU 2018-15, the capitalized implementation costs related to a cloud computing arrangement will be amortized over the term of the arrangement and all capitalized implementation amounts will be required to be presented in the same line items of the consolidated financial statements as the related hosting fees. The Company adopted the standard beginning January 1, 2021 on a prospective basis and this did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

(i)	Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,

Leases (Topic 842).

ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to recognize in the consolidated balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-to-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. This ASU is effective for public and private companies’ fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and December 15, 2021, respectively, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2016-02 under the private company transition guidance beginning January 1, 2022 and is currently evaluating the impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,

Financial instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

, and subsequent related ASUs, which amends the guidance on the impairment of financial instruments by requiring measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. ASU 2016-13 is effective for public and private companies’ fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, and December 15, 2022, respectively. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2016-13 under the private company transition guidance beginning January 1, 2023 and is currently evaluating the impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12,

Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes

. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 will be effective for public entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2019-12 will be effective for private entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted.

. This guidance clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistency among reporting of an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on its condensed consolidation financial statements.

Table of Contents

A complete description of the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the convertible preferred stock are in the amended and restated articles of incorporation. Significant rights and preferences of the outstanding convertible preferred stock are as follows:

Conversion

– All of the convertible preferred stock instruments are convertible at the option of the holder at any time, or immediately upon the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering in which the gross cash proceeds to the Company are at least $50 million with a per share price in excess of the Series C original issue price. Given that the conversion price is currently fixed, the Company would issue a fixed number of shares of common stock to settle the convertible preferred stock, unless a down round of common stock is issued, in which case the conversion price would be adjusted to maintain the value of preferred stock converted to common stock. The conversion price for each outstanding share of Series Seed, Series Seed-2, Series A, Series A+, Series B and Series C convertible preferred stock is $1.57, $2.02, $9.28, $12.65, $115.42 and $143.12, respectively.

Redemption

– The convertible preferred stock does not contain any mandatory redemption features; however, they may be redeemed upon an event that is not solely within the control of the Company. As such, the convertible preferred stock is classified as temporary equity (mezzanine equity) in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Dividends

– Holders of the convertible preferred stock are entitled to receive noncumulative cash dividends in preference to any dividend on the common stock, at the rate of 8% per annum of the original issue price, when and as declared by the Board of Directors. To date, no dividends have been declared.

Liquidation Preference

– Upon a liquidation event, the Company’s assets will be distributed to holders of convertible preferred stock, in preference to the holders of common stock, in the following order: (i) first, to the holders of Series C convertible preferred stock at a per share amount equal to the greater of (y) the original issue price plus any declared but unpaid dividends, or (z) the amount such holders would have received had they converted their convertible preferred stock into common stock immediately prior to such event, (ii) then, to holders of Series B convertible preferred stock at a per share amount equal to the greater of (y) the original issue price plus any declared but unpaid dividends, or (z) the amount such holders would have received had they converted their convertible preferred stock into common stock immediately prior to such event, and (iii) then, on a pari passu basis, among the holders of Series A convertible preferred stock, Series A+ convertible preferred stock, Series Seed convertible preferred stock and Series Seed-2 convertible preferred stock at a per share amount equal to the greater of (y) the applicable original issue price plus any declared but unpaid dividends, or (z) the amount such holders would have received had they converted their convertible preferred stock into common stock immediately prior to such event. Any remaining assets shall be distributed among the holders of common stock pro rata, based on the number of shares of common stock held by each.

Voting

– Each share of convertible preferred stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock into which such share of convertible preferred stock is convertible.

Convertible Notes

2022 Notes

In March 2018, the Company issued convertible promissory notes of $24.8 million in March 2018 and $0.7 million in June 2018 (the “2022 Notes”) to various investors. The 2022 Notes are secured by a security agreement and mature in March 2022, unless earlier converted at the option of the investors.

The principal amount shall accrue interest at 1.5% per annum, payable biannually, and additional interest at 8.0% per annum, which will be added to the principal and compounded on each payment date. Prior to maturity, the investors may elect to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the 2022 Notes to equity based on various conversion events.

F-63

Table of Contents

The 2022 Notes contain an embedded derivative representing the debt conversion features and the fair value of the derivative was recorded as a liability with an offsetting amount recorded as a debt discount against the carrying value of the 2022 Notes. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the 2022 Notes. The derivative liability is re-valued at the end of each reporting period using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. The model used in valuing this derivative liability requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions including but not limited to: 1) expected cash flows the Company expects to go to the noteholders; 2) the Company’s risk adjusted discount rates; and 3) the probability of a change in control occurring during the term of the 2022 Note, and when it would occur. Changes in the estimated fair value of the debt derivative are recorded in other income (expense), net, on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of the derivative liability was $0.1 million, recorded in other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The estimated fair value of the embedded derivative is as follows (in thousands):


	Embedded Derivative Liability
Fair value as of December 31, 2019	$	1,192
Change in fair value		(371	)

Fair value as of June 30, 2020	$	821

Fair value as of December 31, 2020	$	549
Change in fair value		(452	)

Fair value as of June 30, 2021	$	97

The Company incurred approximately $0.9 million of fees related to issuance of the 2022 Notes in the form of advisor fees, legal fees and other related expenses. These costs were recorded as debt discount and are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the 2022 Notes.

2023 Notes

In 2020, the Company issued convertible promissory notes of approximately $8.1 million in March 2020, $7.5 million in August 2020 and $0.5 million in October 2020 to various investors, which mature in March 2023 (the “2023 Initial Notes”). In conjunction with the 2023 Initial Notes, the Company issued 909,097 common stock warrants. The Company issued additional convertible promissory notes of approximately $48.7 million in February 2021 to various investors, which also mature in March 2023 (the “Extension Notes”). In conjunction with the Extension Notes, the Company issued 1,623,303 common stock warrants. See “Note 8 – Common Stock” for additional details.

Table of Contents

The principal amount of the outstanding balance on the 2023 Initial Notes and the Extension Notes (together, the “2023 Notes”) shall accrue interest at 10.0% per annum, payable at maturity in March 2023. Prior to maturity, the 2023 Notes may be redeemed for an amount equal to 200% of the principal amount of the outstanding balance and the unpaid accrued interest in the event of a change in control, or converted, either voluntarily at the option of the investor or automatically to equity based on various conversion events.

In accounting for the issuance of the 2023 Notes, the Company separated the 2023 Notes into liability and equity components, consisting of embedded derivatives representing the redemption and conversion features, and common stock warrants, respectively. The fair value of the derivatives was calculated using the “with and without” method. The key valuation assumptions used consist of the discount rate and the probability of the occurrence of various conversion events. The fair value of the liability and equity components exceeded the 2023 Initial Notes gross proceeds therefore, the fair value of the components was allocated on a relative fair value basis. At issuance of the 2023 Initial Notes, the derivative liability and common stock warrants received relative fair value allocations of $5.2 million and $7.2 million, respectively, with the offset to debt discount, and the remaining immaterial balance was recorded as a loss in other income (expense), net on the consolidated statements of operations. At issuance of the Extension Notes, the fair value of the liability and equity components were $17.5 million and $22.0 million respectively.

The derivative liabilities are re-valued at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the estimated fair value of the derivatives are recorded in other income (expense), net, on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of the derivative liability related to the 2023 Notes was $30 million, recorded in derivative liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The equity component is included in additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The equity component is not remeasured.

The 2023 Notes debt issuance costs were approximately $0.4 million, consisting of advisor fees, legal fees and other related expenses. The Company allocated the total amount incurred to the liability and equity components on a relative fair value basis, resulting in $0.3 million allocated to the liability component and recorded as debt discount and approximately $0.1 million to the equity component. The residual amount was immaterial and was allocated to loss on issuance of the 2023 Notes. As such, the total loss recorded on the 2023 Notes was immaterial.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded amortization on the debt discount of $4.4 million, as additional interest expense, and recorded $8 million in other income (expense), net, to reflect the change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities.

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

In May 2020, the Company was granted a loan under the Paycheck Protection Program offered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), section 7(a)(36) of the Small Business consolidated Act for approximately $2.5 million. The loan is evidenced by a promissory note and bore interest at 1% with no payments for the first 6 months. Monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $0.1 million were slated to begin in December 2020, subject to deferral as the Company has applied for debt forgiveness, and continue through maturity in April 2022, if required. The loan was subject to partial or full forgiveness if the Company used all proceeds for eligible purposes; maintains certain employment levels; and maintains certain compensation levels in accordance with and subject to the CARES Act and the rules, regulations and guidance. The Company initially applied for the PPP loan to be forgiven in December 2020, with responses to SBA inquiries and final application submitted in January 2021. On June 14, 2021, the PPP Loan was forgiven in full, for the principal amount of $2.5 million and interest of approximately $28 thousand that had accrued from the funding date of April 30, 2020 through the forgiveness date. For the six-month period ending June 30, 2021, the Company recognized a gain from extinguishment of the full amount of the PPP Loan in other income in the condensed statements of operations.

Restricted Stock Activity

The Company began issuing restricted stock units in July 2020. As such, there were no restricted stock units issued for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The following table summarizes the restricted stock activity under the Plan for the period from December 31, 2020 through June 30, 2021:

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company issued 1,041,642 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and 300,000 restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) to employees and non-employees. Unlike RSUs, the RSAs are entitled to voting rights and dividend rights prior to satisfaction of vesting conditions. Therefore, the RSAs are considered issued and outstanding at issuance. 665,431 RSUs and 300,000 RSAs were issued to non-employees in exchange for advisory services, with an aggregate fair value of $24.4 million. For the period ending June 30, 2021, $5.2 million of stock-based compensation related to RSA’s that vested was recorded in general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The remaining 376,311 RSUs issued to employees have a fair value of $9.5 million. The RSUs granted are subject to service-based and performance-based vesting conditions. The service-based vesting condition for these RSUs range from six months to four years, while the performance-based vesting condition is satisfied on the earlier of consummating an initial public offering (“IPO”), the closing of a merger with a SPAC, a change in control event or the Company’s equity securities become publicly traded on a nationally recognized exchange other than pursuant to an IPO, SPAC transaction or a change in control event. The RSAs granted are subject to service-based vesting condition to be satisfied over six months.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company determined that the performance-based vesting conditions were not probable. As of June 30, 2021, there was $63.4 million unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested restricted stock to be recognized upon vesting.

The Company amended all outstanding RSUs issued prior to March 2021 such that each share scheduled to vest on a monthly vest date will now accelerate and vest on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15, preceding the applicable monthly vesting date. This amendment resulted in a modification, the effect of which is to change the grant date fair value to $25.26 for all outstanding RSUs on the modification date, reflecting the fair value on the date of modification.

In October 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with a contract manufacturer for production of various sub-assemblies and final assemblies of the Company’s M8 and S3 product lines. The contract manufacturer procures parts to fulfill the forecasted demand of the Company, holding title and risk of loss to the inventory.

The terms of the agreement specify that the Company may be liable for this inventory should it not place orders for units sufficient to consume this inventory, or in varying amounts based on the termination of the agreement at any time by either party. The contract manufacturer holds $2.2 million of inventory at cost subject to this agreement as of June 30, 2021. From the total inventory, the Company and the contract manufacturer identified $1.2 million worth of inventory as “excess inventory” in 2018, essentially related to parts that are deemed obsolete or not in current demand forecasts in accordance with the agreement. From the total excess inventory identified, $0.9 million was purchased by the Company during 2019. For the balance of excess inventory, the Company recorded a liability totaling $0.3 million which is included in accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021.

Legal Matters

The Company is a party to various legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a liability when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that a loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the reasonably possible loss.

In response to allegations of patent infringement and threats of litigation by one of its competitor (“Complainant”), the Company filed a complaint in the Northern District of California seeking a declaratory judgment of non-infringement of the complainant’s patent (patent # 7969558). The Complainant filed an answer and counterclaim seeking injunctions and damages for an unspecified amount. The Company answered the counterclaims asserting that the patent claims are not valid and also filed two petitions for inter parties review (“IPR”) before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”), which were instituted in May 2018. All briefing

and the oral hearing in the PTAB proceedings have concluded. On May 23, 2019, the PTAB issued Final Written Decisions finding all petitioned claims are not invalid. On June 24, 2019, the Company filed a Request for Rehearing in response to the Final Written Decision. On May 23, 2020, the Board denied the Request for Rehearing.

Quanergy filed an appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (“CAFC”) for each IPR (consolidated as docket no. CAFC-20-2070). Oral argument was held on July 7, 2021. We are currently awaiting a decision from the CAFC. Nevertheless, this litigation, as with any other litigation, is subject to uncertainty and an unfavorable outcome may result in a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial position, and overall trends.

In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company started engaging in discussions with the Complainant for a potential out of court settlement related to the ongoing legal proceeding discussed above, in order to avoid future significant legal expenses. The Company determined that it had incurred a liability as of December 31, 2020 and recorded an estimated potential loss for this case in the amount of $2.5 million, including interest totaling approximately $0.4 million, recorded in general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of the current date, negotiations have ceased and no settlement has been reached. The Company will continue to monitor developments on this case and record any necessary adjustments to reflect the effect of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case in the period they become known.

Employee Retention Plan

In November 2019, the Company adopted an employee retention plan (“Retention Plan”). Key employees as determined by the Board of Directors are eligible to participate in the Retention Plan, and have the right to payment of a retention bonus upon the occurrence of a covered transaction as defined in the Retention Plan, which includes a change in control or IPO. The Retention Plan is an unfunded plan and the participants must be employed at the time of the covered transaction to be eligible to receive payment. The Company recognizes the retention plan related expense based on the best estimate of occurrence of a covered transaction. This estimate is revised periodically based on continuation of employment and other factors such as likelihood of occurrence of a covered transaction etc. No expense has been recognized under the Retention Plan to date. The amount of retention bonus available to active participants in the Retention Plan upon the occurrence of a covered transaction was $4.7 million as of June 30, 2021.

(13) Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

The Company uses the two-class method to calculate net loss per share. No dividends were declared or paid for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Undistributed earnings for each period are allocated to participating securities, including the convertible preferred stock, based on the contractual participation rights of the security to share in the current earnings as if all current period earnings had been distributed. As there is no contractual obligation for the convertible preferred stock to share in losses, the Company’s basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during periods with undistributed losses.

The following table sets forth the computation of the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2021			2020
Numerator:
Net loss attributable to common stockholder, basic and diluted	$	(35,181	)	$	(15,533	)
Denominator:
Weighted average common shares outstanding, basic and diluted		8,285,890			4,817,858
Net loss per share attributable to common stockholder, basic and diluted	$	(4.25	)	$	(3.22	)

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 because the inclusion of potential shares of common stock would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented.

The following table presents the potential common shares outstanding that were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share of common stock as of the periods presented because including them would have been antidilutive:

Potential common shares excluded from diluted net loss per share		12,258,294		10,654,767

(14) Income Taxes

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded an income tax provision of $10,000 compared to a $3,000 tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2020, all of which are primarily related to income taxes of our non-U.S. operations as our U.S. operations were in a loss position and we maintain a full valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets.

(15) Related Party Transactions

Related Party Collaboration Agreement

To support the Company’s path towards automotive grade solid state LiDAR sensors, help de-risk the ramp towards high volume manufacturing, and improve the company’s marketing and distribution capabilities, the Company entered into a Strategic Partnership Agreement (“Collaborative Agreement”) with Sensata Technology, Inc (“Sensata”) on February 8, 2016. As part of the Collaborative Agreement, Sensata made a $50 million investment in the initial closing of the Company’s offering of Series B convertible preferred stock. The agreement committed both companies to engage in joint development and commercialization of the solid-state product for the transportation segment. The Company was expected to retain ultimate discretion relating to product roadmap and development, with Sensata retaining ultimate control over the manufacturing, sales and marketing decisions subject to certain terms and conditions.

On March 29, 2020, Quanergy and Sensata signed an amendment to the agreement which eliminated exclusivity for the transportation sector, reduced specific development and commercialization obligations and added flexibility to the manufacturing model.

On June 21, 2021, the Company entered into another collaborative arrangement with Sensata, wherein Sensata will provide consulting services with respect to areas of manufacturing, cost reduction, sourcing, and go to market strategies. In consideration for such services, the Company issued a warrant to Sensata to purchase that number of shares of the Company’s common stock at a strike price of $0.01 which will be exchanged for 2.5 million shares of the combined entity contemplated in the Merger discussed above in “Note 1(d) - Proposed Business Combination”. The advisory services would be rendered by Sensata over three years and therefore, the asset balance will be amortized over the course of the stipulated period and the related expense would be recognized over three years attributed to the fair value of warrants issued.

No revenues on this Collaborative Agreement have been recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. In accordance with this Collaborative Agreement, the Company purchased equipment from Sensata totaling $1 million which is included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020. Depreciation expense on this equipment was $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Related Party Convertible Notes

In 2020, the Company issued convertible promissory notes of approximately $16.1 million to various investors, out of which $15.7 million was issued to three related parties. The related party debt is presented as ‘long-term debt- related party’ in the consolidated balance sheet, adjusted for deferred interest, allocated debt financing costs and derivative liability recorded as debt discount on the 2023 Initial Notes. The principal amount of the outstanding balance shall accrue interest at 10.0% per annum, payable at maturity in March 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company accrued interest of $0.9 million related to the 2023 Initial Notes issued to the related parties. In conjunction with the 2023 Initial Notes, the Company also issued common stock warrants, of which 880,649 were issued to the three related parties. See “Note 10 – Borrowing Arrangements” for additional details.

In February 2021, the Company issued convertible promissory notes of approximately $48.7 million to various investors (the “Extension Notes”, and together with the 2023 Initial Notes, referred to as “2023 Notes”), out of which $11.5 million was issued to a related party. In conjunction with the Extension Notes, the Company also issued common stock warrants, of which 382,495 were issued to the related party. The related party debt is presented as “Long-term debt – related party” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, adjusted for deferred interest, allocated debt issuance costs and derivative liability recorded as debt discount on the Extension Notes. The principal amount of the outstanding balance shall accrue interest at 10.0% per annum, payable at maturity in March 2023.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized additional interest expense of $3.8 million related to the 2023 Notes issued to related parties. Total accrued interest payable to related parties was $2.1 million at June 30, 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, interest expense related to the 2023 Notes issued to related parties was $0.4 million, and the related accrued interest payable was $0.2 million at June 30, 2020. See “Note 10 – Borrowing Arrangements” for additional details.

Related Party Restricted Stock Units

In March 2021, the Company granted 763,861 restricted stock units to two related parties with an aggregate fair value of $19.3 million. These grants have performance-based and service-based conditions. As of June 30, 2021, the performance-based condition is not deemed to be probable, therefore, no expense has been recognized on these awards in the six months ended June 30, 2021.

There were no other material related party transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

(16)	Subsequent Events

In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company evaluated subsequent events for recognition and measurement purposes through September 20, 2021, which is the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. The Company noted no subsequent events to date that would materially impact the condensed consolidated financial statement disclosures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders Quanergy Systems, Inc.

Opinion on the financial statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Quanergy Systems, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, mezzanine equity and stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Emphasis of matter regarding going concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $35,835 during the year ended December 31, 2020, and as of that date, the Company’s current assets exceeded its current liabilities by $6,841 and its total liabilities exceeded its total assets by $35,826. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

QUANERGY SYSTEMS, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(1)	Organization

(a)	Description of Business

The Company was founded in 2012 and is currently headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, with subsidiaries in Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, United Arab Emirates, Mainland China, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China and Japan.

(b)	Going Concern

The Company has prepared its consolidated financial statements assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $7.6 million of cash and cash equivalents. Further, as discussed in “Note 20 – Subsequent Events”, the Company issued convertible promissory notes with gross proceeds of $48.7 million in February 2021. However, the Company will be required to repay a $34.9 million obligation due March 2022 (the “2022 secured Notes”) consisting of the principal amount and deferred interest. Given that the Company has historically generated recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operations it may be unable to make such specified debt repayments when the balance is due. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, for a period of twelve months following the date of issuance of financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2020. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

In June 2021, the Company entered into an agreement and plan to merge (“the Merger”) with a subsidiary of CITIC Capital Acquisition Corp. (“CCAC”), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, as discussed more fully in “Note 20 – Subsequent Events” below.

(c)	Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

(2)	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a)	Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, as well as related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Estimates are used for the fair value of common stock and convertible preferred stock, embedded derivative valuation, stock-based awards and other issuances, revenue recognition, useful lives of long-lived assets, warranty reserves, allowance for doubtful accounts, contingencies, deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions. Actual results could differ materially from the Company’s estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company’s financial condition or operating results will be affected. The Company bases its estimates on past experience and other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances, and the Company evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis.

(b)	Significant Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to those risks common in the technology industry and also those risks common to early stage companies including, but not limited to, the possibility of not being able to successfully develop or market its products as forecasted, technological obsolescence, competition, dependence on key personnel and key external alliances, the successful protection of its proprietary technologies, compliance with government regulations, and the possibility of not being able to obtain additional financing when needed.

In the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company’s revenues were impacted by the

COVID-19,

pandemic. In particular, the Company experienced some negative impact to its revenue and gross profits throughout 2020 due to several industry-wide dynamics related to

COVID-19

including delayed customer projects and difficulty securing new commercial wins with limited ability to access customer facilities. The heightened volatility and uncertainty in customer demand and the worldwide economy in general has continued, and the Company may experience increased volatility in its sales and revenues in the near future. However, the magnitude of such volatility on the Company’s business and its duration is uncertain and cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

(c)	Concentration of Risks

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are on deposit with major financial institutions. Such deposits may be in excess of insured limits. The Company believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s cash are financially sound, and accordingly, minimum credit risk exists with respect to these balances. The Company has not experienced any losses due to institutional failure or bankruptcy. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral for sales on credit. The Company reviews accounts receivable balances to determine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible and includes any amounts that are determined to be uncollectible in the allowance for doubtful accounts. As of December 31, 2020, there were three customers who had outstanding balances accounting for 16%, 16% and 10% of the total accounts receivable balance, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, there were two customers who had outstanding balances accounting for 16% and 15% of the total accounts receivable balance, respectively.

Concentration of customers

For the year ended December 31, 2020, no customer represented 10% or more of net sales. For the year ended December 31, 2019, two customers represented 13% and 12% of net sales, respectively.

F-81

Table of Contents

Concentration of suppliers

For the year ended December 31, 2020, two suppliers represented 63% and 11% of the Company’s inventory purchases, accounting for $0.8 million and $0.1 million in purchases, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2019, one supplier represented 61% of the Company’s inventory purchases, accounting for $4.0 million in purchases.

(d)	Foreign Currency

The functional currencies of the Company’s subsidiaries, which are located in Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, United Arab Emirates, Mainland China, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China, and Japan, are their local currencies. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at

end-of-period

exchange rates. Revenue and expense transactions are translated at average exchange rates in effect during each reporting period. The effects of foreign currency translations are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and the Company recognized $12 thousand in other comprehensive income and $73 thousand in other comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

(e)	Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid securities that mature within three months or less from the original date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances with commercial banks in interest bearing accounts. Cash and cash equivalents include cash held in checking and savings accounts and highly liquid securities with original maturity dates of three months or less from the original date of purchase.

The restricted cash balance as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 represents $70 thousand related to collateral to offset certain short-term, unsecured lending commitments associated with the Company’s corporate credit card program.

(f)	Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management considers historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions and customers’ financial condition, the amount of receivables in dispute, the current receivables aging and customer payment patterns. Account balances are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. In addition, the Company provides an allowance for sales discounts for invoiced amounts which do not meet the Company’s policies for recognition as either revenue or deferred revenue. This includes items such as invoices on loaner inventory that has not been returned. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, the Company provided for an allowance for doubtful accounts totaling $224 thousand and $75 thousand, respectively.

The Company does not have any

off-balance

sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

(g)

Inventory

Inventory consists of raw materials,

work-in-progress

and finished goods representing the sensors and related components that the Company produces. Costs are computed under the standard cost method, which approximates actual costs determined on a

first-in,

first-out

basis, and include freight and overhead expenses incurred to bring the inventory to its location and condition. The Company identifies inventory which is considered obsolete or in excess of anticipated demand based on a consideration of marketability and product life cycle stage, product development plans, component cost trends, demand forecasts, historical net sales, and assumptions about future demand and market conditions to state inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

(h)	Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised products and services and the Company has satisfied its performance obligations. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for the products and services. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five steps:

Step 1. Identification of the contract(s) with a customer;

Step 2. Identification of the performance obligations in the contracts(s);

Step 3. Determination of the transaction price;

Step 4. Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations;

Step 5. Recognition of the revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

Nature of goods and services

The Company determines it has a contract with a customer when (i) it is enforceable and defines each party’s rights regarding the products and services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to the products and services, (ii) it has commercial substance and, (iii) collection of substantially all consideration for products and services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer.

The Company primarily enters into standard supply arrangements. Standard supply arrangements include the customer option to purchase LiDAR sensors, accessories, Quanergy Processing Units, servers, Qortex software, post-contract support services (“PCS”) and extended warranties either on a standalone basis or in a bundled arrangement over specified periods. The Qortex software is offered either as a perpetual or term-based license.

To the extent a contract includes multiple promised products and services, the Company must apply judgment to determine whether promised products and services are capable of being distinct and are distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met the promised products and services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation. The Company has determined that all of its promises are distinct, with the exception of certain software, training, certification, and professional services which are considered immaterial in the context of customer contracts and for which the Company has elected the practical expedient for immaterial goods and services.

Hardware

Software

F-83

Table of Contents

The term-based license arrangements generally have terms ranging from one to two years and are invoiced to customers in advance upon execution of the contract. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and in either deferred revenue or revenue in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, depending on whether the underlying performance obligation has been satisfied.

Post-contract support services

Typically, the Company provides PCS, including unspecified updates, upgrades, and minor

bug-fixes,

for the term of a contract, which ranges from 12 to 24 months. PCS meets the criteria for over-time revenue recognition as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the services as the Company performs. As such, revenue is recognized ratably over the life of the agreement.

Extended warranties

The Company typically provides a

two-year

standard limited warranty on its hardware offerings that covers manufacturing defects in material or workmanship.

In certain contracts, the Company provides the customer the option to purchase extended warranties, in addition to the warranty provided as part of the Company’s customary business practice. The extended warranty is a separate performance obligation and meets the criteria for over-time revenue recognition as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the services as the Company performs. Similar to PCS, the extended warranty is representative of a stand-ready obligation, provided on a

when-and-as

needed basis, which does not follow a specific pattern of delivery. This performance obligation is satisfied over-time and hence, revenue is recognized ratably over the extended warranty term.

Contracts with multiple performance obligations

For contracts which contain multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates revenue to each distinct performance obligation based on the standalone selling price (“SSP”). As prices vary from customer to customer based on customer relationship, volume discount, and contract type, the Company has determined that the estimated sales price of its product is not directly observable. Accordingly, the Company estimates SSP using the expected cost plus a margin approach. The Company considers all reasonably available information in making these estimate including forecasted costs of developing and supplying each performance obligation, historical margins for products previously sold and adjustments for factors, such as current business priorities, class of customer, and market conditions.

Disaggregation of revenues

Total revenue based on the disaggregation criteria described above is as follows (in thousands):


	Year ended December 31,
	2020		2019
Point in time	$	2,747	$	6,028
Over-time		268		333

Total net sales	$	3,015	$	6,361

Revenue by geographic region can be found in “Note 16 – Segment Reporting and Geographic Information.”

Shipping and handling costs and certain taxes

Deferred revenue

non-current

portion of deferred revenue is recorded in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The deferred revenue balance, as shown below, excludes customer deposits of $1.1 million and $1.2 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, primarily related to products and services which were billed in advance. Standard payment terms to customers range from 30 to 60 days; however, payment terms and conditions in the Company’s customer contracts may vary. In most cases, customers prepay for services in advance of delivery of the related services.

The following provides information about deferred revenue from contracts with customers as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):


	As of December 31,
	2020		2019
Deferred revenue, current	$	67	$	226
Deferred revenue, non-current		3		—

Total deferred revenue	$	70	$	226

Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was immaterial.

Contract assets

Under Topic 606, contract assets include amounts related to the contractual right to consideration for both completed and partially completed performance obligations that may not have been invoiced. The contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional. Contract assets are expected to be included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The total value of the Company’s contract assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $0.

Deferred costs

(i)	Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any

F-85

Table of Contents

resulting gain or loss is included in the current period. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the

straight-line

method over the following estimated useful lives of the assets:


		Useful Lives
Machinery and equipment		5-10 years
Furniture and fixtures		5-7 years
Computer equipment		3-5 years
Computer software		3 years
Leasehold improvements		Lesser of the useful life or the remaining term of the lease

(j)	Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold includes actual cost of material, labor and manufacturing overhead incurred for revenue-producing units shipped, and includes associated warranty costs, and other costs.

(k)	Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and consist primarily of personnel and related costs for product development activities. Research and development costs also includes professional fees payable to third-parties, license and subscription fees for development tools and

pre-production

product related costs, and manufacturing-related costs associated with product development.

(l)	Collaborative Arrangements

The Company has entered into multiple collaborative arrangements that provide the Company with varying rights to develop products together with its collaborative partners. Cost reimbursements paid to the collaborative partners are recognized as incurred and included in research and development expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Terms of the collaboration agreements may require the Company to make payments based upon the achievement of certain milestones. Upfront and milestone payments payable by the Company to collaborative partners are recorded as prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are recognized as a research and development expenses as the services are performed. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 the Company was working under collaborative arrangements with three separate suppliers. Amounts related to the collaborative arrangements are classified in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as research and development expense in the amounts of $0.8 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

(m)	Advertising and Promotional Expenses

Advertising and promotional costs are expensed as incurred and included in sales and marketing expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Advertising costs totaled $0.5 million each for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

(n)	Restructuring Costs

The Company accounts for costs associated with a restructuring plan under ASC 420,

Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations.

A liability for the costs associated with the restructuring plan are recognized as incurred and measured at fair value. The restructuring costs mainly consist of charges related to lease termination as part of the restructuring plan. The Company incurred restructuring costs of $0 and $1.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The short-term liability associated with the restructuring costs is included on the consolidated balance sheets as other current liabilities and the long-term liability associated with the restructuring costs is presented as part of other long-term liabilities.

F-86

Table of Contents

(o)	Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the

asset-and-liability

method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense.

(p)	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, and quoted market values, as considered necessary.

There were no impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

(q)	Convertible Preferred Stock Warrants

The Company has issued convertible preferred stock warrants exercisable into shares of the Company’s convertible preferred stock. The Company classifies warrants to purchase shares of convertible preferred stock that are redeemable or include an antidilution feature as liabilities. Such warrants are measured and recognized at fair value, and subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date. At the end of each reporting period, changes in fair value during the period are recognized as a component of other income (expense), net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company will continue to adjust the preferred stock warrant liability for changes in the fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the warrants or the completion of a liquidation event, including completion of an initial public offering (“IPO”), at which time all such convertible preferred stock warrants will be converted into warrants to purchase shares of common stock, and the liability will be reclassified to additional

paid-in

capital. See “Note 2(s)—Fair Value Measurement” for details on the valuation methodology.

(r)	Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis for all share-based payments that are expected to vest to employees,

non-employees,

and directors, including grants of employee stock options and other share-based awards. Equity-classified awards issued to employees,

non-employees

and directors are measured at the grant-date fair value of the award. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. For accounting purposes, the Company estimates grant-date fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model. The BSM option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the underlying common stock, the risk-free interest rates, the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the price of the Company’s common stock and the expected dividend yield of the Company’s common stock.

The fair value of accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximated their carrying values as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, due to their short-term nature. The Company records long-term debt and long-term debt due to related parties on an amortized cost basis. The fair value of the Convertible Notes was $45.1 million as of December 31, 2020. The carrying value of the Convertible Notes of $51.3 million, net of $11.9 million of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs, was recorded as long-term debt totaling $33.4 million and long-term debt—related party totaling $6.0 million as of December 31, 2020. The fair value of the Convertible Notes was $27.9 million as of December 31, 2019. The carrying value of the Convertible Notes of $29.3 million, net of $1.7 million of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs, was recorded as long-term debt totaling $27.6 million as of December 31, 2019.

F-88

Table of Contents

Level 3 instruments consist solely of the Company’s embedded derivative in the Company’s notes payable. The Company classifies its financial instruments within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to lack of market data. See “Note 13—Borrowing Arrangements” for details on the valuation of the embedded derivative in the convertible notes.

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 fair value hierarchy categories of financial instruments for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

(t)	Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is presented in conformity with the

two-class

method required for participating securities. The Company considers all series of its convertible preferred stock to be participating securities. Net loss is attributed to common stockholders and participating securities based on their participation rights. Net loss attributable to common stockholders is not allocated to the convertible preferred stock as the holders of the convertible preferred stock do not have a contractual obligation to share in any losses.

Under the

two-class

method, basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

Diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders adjusts basic earnings per share for the potentially dilutive impact of convertible preferred stock, stock options, restricted stock units, and convertible notes. As the Company has reported losses for all periods presented, all potentially dilutive securities including convertible preferred stock, stock options, restricted stock units, common stock warrants and convertible notes, are antidilutive and accordingly, basic net loss per share equals diluted net loss per share.

(u)	Derivative Liabilities

The Company evaluates the embedded conversion feature within its convertible debt instruments under ASC

815-15 and ASC

815-40 to

determine if the conversion feature meets the definition of a liability and, if so, whether to bifurcate the conversion feature and account for it as a separate derivative liability. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then

re-valued

at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or

non-current

based on whether

net-cash

settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months after the balance sheet date. The derivative is subject to

re-measurement

at the end of each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized as a component of other income (expense), net, in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the conversion or maturity of the debt instruments.

(v)	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Topic 606. Topic 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605,

Revenue Recognition

, and requires the recognition of revenue as promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Topic 606 also includes Subtopic

340-40,

Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers

, which requires the deferral of incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Collectively, the Company refers to Topic 606 and Subtopic

340-40

as the “new standard.”

The Company adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2019, utilizing the modified retrospective method of adoption by applying the new standard to the periods impacted post-adoption. The Company recognized

F-89

Table of Contents

the cumulative effect of initially applying Topic 606 as an adjustment to retained earnings in the balance sheet as of January 1, 2019. The guidance was applied to contracts that are not substantially complete as of the date of initial application in accordance with practical expedient ASC

606-10-65-1(h).

The Company recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying Topic 606 as an adjustment to retained earnings in the balance sheet as of January 1, 2019:


	As reported at December 31, 2018			Impact of Topic 606 adoption			As adjusted at January 1, 2019
Liabilities
Deferred revenue, current	$	(489	)	$	270		$	(219	)
Deferred revenue, non-current		(212	)		154			(58	)
Stockholder’s Deficit
Accumulated deficit		166,223			(424	)		165,799

The deferred cost balance as of January 1, 2019 related to the incremental cost of obtaining contracts which were not complete as of the adoption date was not material.

On June 20, 2018, the FASB issued the Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)

2018-07,

Improvement to Nonemployee Share-based Payment Accounting

(Topic 718)

, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services. Under ASU

2018-07,

most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees, which are accounted for under Topic 718, while nonemployee share-based payments issued for goods and services are accounted for under Topic

505-50.

Topic

505-50,

before the ASU

2018-07

amendments, differs significantly from Topic 718. Differences include (but are not limited to) the guidance on (1) the determination of the measurement date (which generally is the date on which the measurement of equity-classified share-based payments becomes fixed), (2) the accounting for performance conditions, (3) the ability of a nonpublic entity to use certain practical expedients for measurement, and (4) the accounting (including measurement and classification) for share-based payments after vesting. ASU

2018-07

eliminates most of the differences. The Company early adopted the standard for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019, on a modified retrospective basis. There was no material impact on adoption of the standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU

2016-18,

Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230). Restricted Cash

(“ASU

2016-18”),

which addresses the reporting of restricted cash in the Statement of Cash Flows. The amendments in this update require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the

beginning-of-period

and

end-of-period

total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted ASU

2016-18

effective January 1, 2019 using a retrospective transition method to each period presented.

The following table summarize the impacts of adopting the new standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash consisted of the following (in thousands):


	As of December 31,
	2020		2019
Cash and cash equivalents	$	7,598	$	10,876
Restricted cash		70		70

	$	7,668	$	10,946

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU

2018-18,

Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606

, which clarifies when transactions between participants in

F-90

Table of Contents

a collaborative arrangement are within the scope of Topic 606. Such guidance clarifies revenue recognition and financial statement presentation for transactions between collaboration participants. The guidance took effect for annual reporting periods beginning after December 1, 2019, including interim reporting periods within these annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance during the first quarter of 2020 did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or results of operations.

(w)	Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU

2016-02,

Leases (Topic 842).

ASU

2016-02

requires a lessee to recognize in the consolidated balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a

right-to-use

asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. This ASU is effective for public and private companies’ fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and December 15, 2021, respectively, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt ASU

2016-02

under the private company transition guidance beginning January 1, 2022 and is currently evaluating the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU

2016-13,

Financial instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

, and subsequent related ASUs, which amends the guidance on the impairment of financial instruments by requiring measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. ASU

2016-13

is effective for public and private companies’ fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, and December 15, 2022, respectively. The Company expects to adopt ASU

2016-13

under the private company transition guidance beginning January 1, 2023 and is currently evaluating the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU

2018-15,

Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal Use Software (Subtopic

350-40):

Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract

350-40.

Under ASU

2018-15,

the capitalized implementation costs related to a cloud computing arrangement will be amortized over the term of the arrangement and all capitalized implementation amounts will be required to be presented in the same line items of the consolidated financial statements as the related hosting fees. ASU

2018-15

Common Stock Warrants

The following common stock warrants were outstanding as of December 31, 2020:

In March, August and October 2020, the Company issued 909,097 common stock warrants in conjunction with the issuance of convertible promissory notes (the “2023 Notes”). These warrants are exercisable for shares of common stock at $0.01 per share and expire in March 2025. The common stock warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes model. Because there were various financial instruments issued in conjunction with the 2023 Notes, therefore the Company allocated the proceeds from the issuance of the 2023 Notes between the convertible notes and the common stock warrants on a relative fair value basis. The Company allocated $7.2 million to the common stock warrants which is included in additional

paid-in

capital on the consolidated balance sheets. The warrants are not remeasured in future periods as they meet the conditions for equity classification. See “

Note 13—Borrowing Arrangements

” for additional details on the 2023 Notes.

In November 2019, the Company early terminated a facility lease and issued the lessor a warrant to purchase 2,324 shares of the Company’s common stock at the exercise price of $0.01 per share. The common stock warrants expire three years after the issuance date, and were recorded at $86.05 per share, which was calculated using the Black-Scholes model. The Company recorded the fair value of $0.2 million for the common stock warrants in additional

paid-in

capital with the offset amount included in restructuring costs.

The following assumptions were used to calculate the fair value of the common stock warrants issued:


Expected term	3.0 years
Expected volatility	42.9	%
Risk-free interest rate	1.6	%
Expected dividends	0.0	%

Conversion

—All of the convertible preferred stock instruments are convertible at the option of the holder at any time, or immediately upon the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering in which the gross cash proceeds to the Company are at least $50 million with a per share price in excess of the Series C original issue price. Given that the conversion price is currently fixed, the Company would issue a fixed number of shares of common stock to settle the convertible preferred stock, unless a down round of common stock is issued, in which case the conversion price would be adjusted to maintain the value of preferred stock converted to common stock. The conversion price for each outstanding share of Series Seed, Series

Seed-2,

Series A, Series A+, Series B and Series C convertible preferred stock is $1.57, $2.02, $9.28, $12.65, $115.42 and $143.12, respectively.

Redemption

—The convertible preferred stock does not contain any mandatory redemption features, however, they may be redeemed upon an event that is not solely within the control of the Company. As such, the convertible preferred stock is classified as temporary equity (mezzanine equity) in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

F-96

Table of Contents

Dividends

—Holders of the convertible preferred stock are entitled to receive noncumulative cash dividends in preference to any dividend on the common stock, at the rate of 8% per annum of the original issue price, when and as declared by the Board of Directors. To date, no dividends have been declared.

Liquidation Preference—

Upon a liquidation event, the Company’s assets will be distributed to holders of convertible preferred stock, in preference to the holders of common stock, in the following order: (i) first, to the holders of Series C convertible preferred stock at a per share amount equal to the greater of (y) the original issue price plus any declared but unpaid dividends, or (z) the amount such holders would have received had they converted their convertible preferred stock into common stock immediately prior to such event, (ii) then, to holders of Series B convertible preferred stock at a per share amount equal to the greater of (y) the original issue price plus any declared but unpaid dividends, or (z) the amount such holders would have received had they converted their convertible preferred stock into common stock immediately prior to such event, and (iii) then, on a pari passu basis, among the holders of Series A convertible preferred stock, Series A+ convertible preferred stock, Series Seed convertible preferred stock and Series

Seed-2

convertible preferred stock at a per share amount equal to the greater of (y) the applicable original issue price plus any declared but unpaid dividends, or (z) the amount such holders would have received had they converted their convertible preferred stock into common stock immediately prior to such event. Any remaining assets shall be distributed among the holders of common stock pro rata, based on the number of shares of common stock held by each.

Voting

—Each share of convertible preferred stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock into which such share of convertible preferred stock is convertible.

Preferred Stock Warrants

In connection with the issuance of Series C convertible preferred stock, the Company issued warrants to purchase Series C convertible preferred stock (the “Series C warrants”) with an expiration of 180 days from initial vesting. The Series C warrants vest on achievement of certain milestones and contain an anti-dilution adjustment provision on the number of shares and the exercise price. The Series C warrants are classified as a liability and presented as convertible preferred stock warrant liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and carried at fair value, adjusted at each balance sheet date. All Series C warrants were exercised during the year ended December 31, 2019 and none are outstanding as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

The fair value of the convertible preferred stock warrant liability is measured using the Binomial option-pricing model, weighted by the probability that the Series C warrants would vest. Inputs to that model include the purchase right’s remaining contractual term, the risk-free interest rate, expected volatility based on representative peer companies, and the estimated fair value of the underlying convertible preferred stock. Generally, increases (decreases) in the fair value of the underlying convertible preferred stock and estimated term would result in a directionally similar impact to the fair value measurement, as recognized in other income (expense), net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The following assumptions were used in determining fair value of the convertible preferred stock warrant liability at the dates of issuance and at exercise during the year ended December 31, 2019:


Expected term			0.6 - 1.2 years
Expected volatility			40.7% - 46.8%
Risk-free interest rate			2.5% - 2.7%
Expected dividends			0.0%

The change in the fair value of the Series C warrants from the date of issuance to the end of each reporting date and through date of exercise of the warrants has been recorded in other income (expense), net in the

Convertible Notes

2022 Notes

The 2022 Notes contain an embedded derivative representing the debt conversion features and the fair value of the derivative which was recorded as a liability with an offsetting amount recorded as a debt discount against the carrying value of the 2022 Notes. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2022 Notes, using the effective interest rate method. The derivative liability is

re-valued

at the end of each reporting period using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. The model used in valuing this derivative liability requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions including but not limited to: 1) expected cash flows the Company expects to go to the noteholders; 2) the Company’s risk adjusted discount rates; and 3) the probability of a change in control occurring during the term of the 2022 Note, and when it would occur. Changes in the estimated fair value of the debt derivative are recorded in other income (expense), net, on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the fair value of the derivative liability was $0.5 million and $1.2 million, recorded in derivative liability on the consolidated balance sheets.

The estimated fair value of the embedded derivative is as follows (in thousands):

The Company incurred approximately $0.9 million of fees related to issuance of the 2022 Notes in the form of advisor fees, legal fees and other related expenses.

2023 Notes

In 2020, the Company issued convertible promissory notes of approximately $8.1 million in March 2020, $7.5 million in August 2020 and $0.5 million in October 2020 to various investors. In conjunction with the 2023 Notes, the Company issued 909,097 common stock warrants. See “Note 11—Common Stock” for additional details.

The principal amount of the outstanding balance shall accrue interest at 10.0% per annum, payable at maturity in March 2023. Prior to maturity, the 2023 Notes may be redeemed for an amount equal to 200% of the principal amount of the outstanding balance and the unpaid accrued interest in the event of a change in control, or converted, either voluntarily at the option of the investor or automatically to equity based on various conversion events.

In accounting for the issuance of the 2023 Notes, the Company separated the 2023 Notes into liability and equity components, consisting of embedded derivatives representing the redemption and conversion features, and common stock warrants, respectively. The fair value of the derivatives were calculated using the “with and without” method. The key valuation assumptions used consist of the discount rate and the probability of the occurrence of various conversion events. The fair value of the liability and equity components exceeded the 2023 Notes gross proceeds therefore, the fair value of the components were allocated on a relative fair value basis. At issuance, the derivative liability and common stock warrants received relative fair value allocations of $5.2 million and $7.2 million, respectively, with the offset to debt discount, and the remaining $11 thousand was recorded as a loss in other income (expense), net on the consolidated statements of operations. The derivative liabilities are

re-valued

at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the estimated fair value of the derivatives are recorded in other income (expense), net, on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2020, the fair value of the derivative liability was $4.5 million, recorded in derivative liability on the consolidated balance sheets.

The equity component was allocated $7.2 million on a relative fair value basis, and is included in additional

paid-in

capital on the consolidated balance sheets. The equity component is not remeasured in future periods as it meets the conditions for equity classification.

The 2023 Notes debt issuance costs were approximately $0.4 million, consisting of advisor fees, legal fees and other related expenses. The Company allocated the total amount incurred to the liability and equity components on a relative fair value basis, resulting in $0.3 million allocated to the liability component and recorded as debt discount and approximately $0.1 million to the equity component, resulting in a net carrying value of $7.2 million. The residual amount of $15 thousand was allocated to loss on issuance of the 2023 Notes. As such, the total loss recorded on the 2023 Notes is approximately $26 thousand.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded amortization on the debt discount of $1.7 million, as additional interest expense, and recorded $0.8 million in other income (expense), net, to reflect the change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities.

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

In May 2020, the Company was granted a loan under the Paycheck Protection Program offered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), section 7(a)(36) of the Small Business consolidated Act for approximately $2.5 million. The loan is evidenced by a promissory note and bears interest at 1% with no payments for the first 6 months. Monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $0.1 million begin in December 2020, subject to deferral as the Company has applied for debt forgiveness, and continue through maturity in April 2022, if required. The loan is subject to partial or full forgiveness if the Company uses all proceeds for eligible purposes; maintains certain employment levels; and maintains certain compensation levels in accordance with and subject to the CARES Act and the rules, regulations and guidance. The Company initially applied for the PPP loan to be forgiven in December 2020, with responses to SBA inquiries and final application submitted in January 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2020, interest expense recognized on the PPP loan was immaterial.

(14)	Stock-Based Compensation

In January 2013, the Board adopted the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (“the Plan”), which was subsequently approved by the Company’s stockholders. The Company initially reserved a total of 500,000 shares of

F-100

Table of Contents

common stock for issuance under the Plan. Between October 2014 and November 2020, through multiple amendments approved by the company’s stockholders, the share reserve was increased to 3,197,762 shares of common stock. Additionally, in July 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved amendments to the Plan to add restricted stock units as a form of equity compensation award under the plan.

The Plan permits the granting of incentive stock options,

non-statutory

stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock or restricted stock units to employees, directors, and service providers at exercise prices not less than 100% of fair market value at the date of grant. The Board of Directors, at its sole discretion, shall determine the exercise price.

Options granted under the Plan expire 10 years from the date of grant. First time grants of incentive stock options and

non-statutory

options generally vest at a rate of 25% on the first anniversary of the grant date and then ratably monthly over the next three years. Upon termination of employment, any unvested options are automatically returned to the Company. In general, vested options that were not exercised within three months after termination are surrendered back to the Company. These options are added back to the Plan and made available for future grants. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company granted 0.5 million new options and 0.2 million new options, respectively. The weighted average fair value of options granted for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, was $9.22 per share and $33.09 per share, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, was $0.1 million and $9.3 million, respectively.

A summary of option activity under the Plan is as follows:

2020 Stock Option Modification

On April 2, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors passed a resolution to reprice outstanding stock options (“2020 Modification”), wherein the Company modified 342,735 stock options to reduce the exercise price of each underwater option to $49.43 per share to reflect the fair value as of January 31, 2020. As a result, 100% of the options outstanding under the 2013 incentive plan that were granted from April 2018 through August 2019 were modified on April 2, 2020, to reflect an exercise price of $49.43 per share.

Table of Contents

The incremental fair value of the modified options is recognized as stock-based compensation expense. On the date of the modification, the fair value of the modified options exceeded the fair value of the original options by $1.5 million, of which $0.4 million was recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in 2020. The Company will recognize the remaining unrecognized

non-cash

compensation cost related to the 2020 Modification over the remaining requisite service period of the modified options.

Determination of Fair Value

The Company estimates grant-date fair value of stock options using the BSM option-pricing model. The determination of the fair value of each stock award using this option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards. Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award.

The following assumptions were used to calculate the fair value of stock-based compensation:


	Year ended December 31,
	2020		2019
Expected term		0.5 –6.5 years		5.2 – 6.1 years
Expected volatility		40.4% –63.6%		41.5% – 42.5%
Risk-free interest rate		0.1% – 1.5%		1.5% – 2.6%
Expected dividends		0.0%		0.0%

Expected term

—The Company has opted to use the “simplified method” for estimating the expected term of options, whereby the expected term equals the arithmetic average of the vesting term and the original contractual term of the option (generally 10 years).

Expected volatility

—Due to the Company’s limited operating history and a lack of company specific historical and implied volatility data, the Company has based its estimate of expected volatility on the historical volatility of a group of peer companies that are publicly traded. The historical volatility data was computed using the daily closing prices for the selected companies’ shares during the equivalent period of the calculated expected term of the stock-based awards.

Risk-free interest rate

—The risk-free rate assumption is based on U.S. Treasury instruments with maturities similar to the expected term of the Company’s stock options.

Expected dividends

—The Company has not issued any dividends in its history and does not expect to issue dividends over the life of the options and therefore has estimated the dividend yield to be zero.

Fair value of common stoc

k—The fair value of the shares of common stock underlying the stock-based awards has historically been determined by the Board of Directors, with input from management. Because there has been no public market for the Company’s common stock, the Board of Directors has determined the fair value of the common stock on the grant-date of the stock-based award by considering a number of objective and subjective factors. Such factors include a valuation of the Company’s common stock performed by an unrelated third-party specialist, valuations of comparable companies, sales of the Company’s convertible preferred stock to unrelated third-parties, operating and financial performance, the lack of liquidity of the Company’s capital stock, as well as general and industry-specific economic outlooks.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, there was a total of $8.4 million and $11.9 million, respectively, of unrecognized employee compensation costs related to

non-vested

stock option awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.14 and 2.83 years, respectively.

Performance-based Restricted Stock Units

In fiscal year 2020, the Company issued performance-based RSUs to certain key executives and employees. These RSUs have both performance and service vesting conditions. Service vesting conditions for RSUs provide for vesting ranging from zero months to four years from the date of grant. Performance vesting is contingent upon the occurrence of a liquidity event, defined as either an initial public offering, change in control or public trading event. As the “liquidity event” performance condition was not considered probable as of December 31, 2020, no RSUs are expected to vest as of December 31, 2020 and accordingly, no stock-based compensation cost has been recorded. Total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost of $25.3 million related to unvested RSUs is expected to be recognized upon vesting.

The following summarizes restricted stock unit activity under the plan:

Operaing Leases

The Company leases its facilities under

non-cancelable

operating lease agreements. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period and has accrued for rent expense incurred but not paid. Rent expense was $0.7 million and $1.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

In November 2019, the Company entered into a Lease Termination Agreement in order to terminate the remaining obligation under one of its facility leases. In connection with the signing of the Lease Termination

F-103

Table of Contents

Agreement, the Company issued common stock warrants with a fair value of $0.2 million as partial consideration for the lease termination. In addition, the Lease Termination Agreement calls for future monthly payments in varying amounts into 2023. All costs associated with this lease termination are included in restructuring costs in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019. See “Note 9—Restructuring Costs” for details.

Vendor Contract Liability

In October 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with a contract manufacturer for production of various

sub-assemblies

and final assemblies of the Company’s M8 and S3 product lines. The contract manufacturer procures parts to fulfill the forecasted demand of the Company, holding title and risk of loss to the inventory.

The terms of the agreement specify that the Company may be liable for this inventory should it not place orders for units sufficient to consume this inventory, or in varying amounts based on the termination of the agreement at any time by either party. The contract manufacturer holds $2.9 million and $3.4 million of inventory at cost subject to this agreement as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company and the contract manufacturer identified $1.2 million worth of inventory as excess and obsolete (“excess inventory”), out of which $0.9 million worth of excess inventory was bought back by the Company during 2019. The Company has recorded the remaining balance of liability of $0.3 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, within accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets related to parts that are deemed obsolete or not in current demand forecasts subject to this agreement.

Legal Matters

non-infringement

of the complainant’s patent (patent # 7969558). The Complainant filed an answer and counterclaim seeking injunctions and damages for an unspecified amount. The Company answered the counterclaims asserting that the patent claims are not valid and also filed two petitions for inter parties review (“IPR”) before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”), which were instituted in May 2018. All briefing and the oral hearing in the PTAB proceedings have concluded. On May 25, 2018, the PTAB instituted both IPRs on all petitioned claims. On May 23, 2019, the PTAB issued Final Written Decisions finding all petitioned claims are not invalid. On June 24, 2019, the Company filed a Request for Rehearing in response to the Final Written Decision. On May 23, 2020, the Board denied the Request for Rehearing. Quanergy filed an appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (“CAFC”) for each IPR (consolidated as docket no.

CAFC-20-2070).

Oral Argument was held on July 7, 2021. We are currently awaiting a decision from the CAFC. Nevertheless, this

litigation, as with any other litigation, is subject to uncertainty and an unfavorable outcome may result in a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial position, and overall trends.

In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company started engaging in discussions with the Complainant for a potential out of court settlement related to the ongoing legal proceeding discussed above, in order to avoid future significant legal expenses. As of the current date, both parties are in negotiations and nothing has been finalized. The Company determined that it had incurred a liability as of December 31, 2020 and recorded an estimated potential loss for this case in the amount of $2.5 million, including interest totaling approximately $0.4 million, recorded in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations. The Company will continue to monitor developments on this settlement and record any necessary adjustments to reflect the effect of ongoing negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case in the period they become known.

Employee Retention Plan

In November 2019, the Company adopted an employee retention plan (“Retention Plan”). Key employees as determined by the Board of Directors are eligible to participate in the Retention Plan, and have the right to payment of a retention bonus upon the occurrence of a covered transaction as defined in the Retention Plan, which includes a change in control or IPO. The Retention Plan is an unfunded plan and the participants must be employed at the time of the covered transaction to be eligible to receive payment. The Company recognizes the retention plan related expense based on the best estimate of occurrence of a covered transaction. This estimate is revised periodically based on continuation of employment and other factors such as likelihood of occurrence of a covered transaction etc. The amount of retention bonus available to active participants in the Retention Plan upon the occurrence of a covered transaction was $4.7 million as of December 31, 2020.

(16)	Segment Reporting and Geographic Information

The Company conducts its business in one operating segment that designs, develops and produces LiDAR sensors used in intelligent real-time 3D object detection and classification solutions. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The CODM allocates resources and makes operating decisions based on financial information presented on a consolidated basis. The profitability of the Company’s product group is not a determining factor in allocating resources and the CODM does not evaluate profitability below the level of the consolidated company.

A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has established a valuation allowance to offset the gross deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, due to the uncertainty of realizing future tax benefits from its domestic net operating loss carryforwards and other domestic and foreign deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance increased by $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and increased by $9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards (“NOL”) of approximately $175.0 million for federal and $127.1 million for state tax purposes. If not utilized, these carryforwards will begin to expire in 2033 for both federal and state tax purposes. Of the $175.0 million of federal NOL, $77.4 million pertains to losses generated for the years 2017 and prior, which will begin to expire in 2033 if not utilized, and $97.6 million is the amount generated subsequent to December 31, 2017, which has an indefinite life.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company has research and development tax credit carryforwards of approximately $4.9 million for federal and $4.0 million for state income tax purposes. If not utilized, the federal tax credit carryforward will expire in various amounts beginning in 2033. The California tax credit can be carried forward indefinitely.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company has Canada scientific research and experimental development investment tax credit carryforwards of approximately $0.2 million which will expire in 2037 if not utilized.

The Tax Reform Act of 1986 limits the use of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards in certain situations where equity transactions resulted in a change of ownership as defined by Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The Company has performed a Section 382 study as of December 31, 2020. The study results reflect ownership changes occurred on March 7, 2014 and December 3, 2020; however, there is no impairment to the NOL’s or R&D credits as a result of the ownership changes identified.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s earnings from its foreign subsidiaries are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for federal or state income taxes have been provided thereon. Due to the Transition Tax and Global Intangible

Low-Taxed

Income (“GILTI”) as enacted by the

F-107

Table of Contents

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, those foreign earnings will not be subject to federal income taxes when actually distributed in the form of a dividend or otherwise. The Company, however, could still be subject to state income taxes and withholding taxes payable to various foreign countries. The amounts of taxes which the Company could be subject to are not material to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

A reconciliation of the amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):

The Company records penalties related to unrecognized tax positions as a component of income tax expense. The Company is not expecting the amount of unrecognized tax benefits to materially change within the next 12 months.

The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state and local, and foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s tax years from inception through 2020 are subject to examination by the U.S., state, and foreign tax authorities due to the carryforward of unutilized net operating losses and research and development credits. The Company is not currently under examination in any tax jurisdictions.

On March 27, 2020, the president signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). Among the changes to the U.S. federal income tax rules, the CARES Act modified net operating loss carryback rules that were eliminated by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, restored 100% bonus depreciation for qualified improvement property, increased the limit on the deduction for net interest expense and accelerated the time frame for refunds of alternative minimum tax credits. The Company considers any retroactive changes related to the CARES Act to be immaterial and will monitor as more guidance is released.

On December 21, 2020, the president signed into law the “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021” which includes further

COVID-19

economic relief and extension of certain expiring tax provisions. The relief package includes a tax provision clarifying that businesses with forgiven PPP loans can deduct regular business expenses that are paid for with the loan proceeds. Additional pandemic relief tax measures include an expansion of the employee retention credit and enhanced charitable contribution deductions. Currently, the Company is evaluating the impact of all other provisions under the Consolidated Appropriations Act as additional legislative guidance becomes available but anticipates any potential adjustments to be offset by the full valuation allowance.

California Assembly Bill 85 (“AB 85”) was signed into law on June 29, 2020. The legislation suspends the California Net Operating Loss deductions for 2020, 2021, and 2022 for certain taxpayers and imposes a limitation of California Tax Credits utilization for 2020, 2021, and 2022. The legislation disallows the use of California Net Operating Loss deductions if the taxpayer recognizes business income and its income subject to tax is greater than $1.0 million. Additionally, business credits will only offset a maximum of $5.0 million of California tax liability. Given the Company is in taxable loss position for the year, AB 85 does not impact the Company for 2020.

(18)	Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

The Company uses the

two-class

method to calculate net loss per share. No dividends were declared or paid for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Undistributed earnings for each period are allocated to participating securities, including the convertible preferred stock, based on the contractual participation rights of the security to share in the current earnings as if all current period earnings had been distributed. As there is no contractual obligation for the convertible preferred stock to share in losses, the Company’s basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during periods with undistributed losses.

The following table sets forth the computation of the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):


	Year ended December 31,
	2020			2019

Net loss per share attributable to common stockholder, basic and diluted	$	(7.06	)	$	(9.11	)

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 because the inclusion of potential shares of common stock would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented.

Related Party Collaboration Agreement

To support the Company’s path towards automotive grade solid state LiDAR sensors, help

de-risk

the ramp towards high volume manufacturing, and improve the company’s marketing and distribution capabilities, the Company entered into a Strategic Partnership Agreement (“Collaborative Agreement”) with Sensata Technology, Inc (“Sensata”) on February 8, 2016. As part of the Collaborative Agreement, Sensata made a $50 million investment in the initial closing of the Company’s offering of Series B convertible preferred stock. The agreement committed both companies to engage in joint development and commercialization of the solid-state product for the transportation segment. The Company was expected to retain ultimate discretion relating to

F-109

product roadmap and development, with Sensata retaining ultimate control over the manufacturing, sales and marketing decisions subject to certain terms and conditions.

No revenues on this Collaborative Agreement have been recognized for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. In accordance with this Collaborative Agreement, the Company purchased equipment from Sensata totaling $1.0 million which is included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Depreciation expense on this equipment was $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Related Party Convertible Notes

In 2020, the Company issued convertible promissory notes of approximately $16.1 million to various investors, out of which $15.7 million was issued to three related parties. The related party debt is presented as ‘long-term notes- related party’ in the consolidated balance sheet, adjusted for deferred interest, allocated debt financing costs and derivative liability recorded as debt discount on the 2023 Notes. The principal amount of the outstanding balance shall accrue interest at 10.0% per annum, payable at maturity in March 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company accrued interest of $0.9 million related to the 2023 Notes issued to the related parties. In conjunction with the 2023 Notes, the Company also issued common stock warrants, of which 880,649 were issued to the three related parties. See “

Note 13—Borrowing Arrangements

” for additional details.

Related Party Restricted Stock Units

Out of the total RSU grants in 2020, 908,466 were issued to directors, officers, and key employees of the Company. Total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost of $14.8 million related to unvested RSUs issued to related parties is expected to be recognized upon vesting.

There were no other material related party transactions during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

(20)	Subsequent Events

In preparing the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company evaluated subsequent events for recognition and measurement purposes through July 16, 2021, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. The Company noted no subsequent events to date that would materially impact the consolidated financial statement disclosures, except for the following:

In February 2021, the Company amended the 2023 Notes and entered into note purchase agreements with new investors (“Extension Notes”), issuing incremental convertible promissory notes and 1,623,303 common stock warrants for gross proceeds of $48.7 million. The Extension Notes accrue interest at 10.0% per annum, payable at maturity. The Extension Notes have similar conversion and redemption features as the original 2023 Notes, and mature in March 2023, unless earlier converted or redeemed. The common stock warrants are exercisable for $0.01 per share and expire 5 years from the initial closing.

On March 21, 2021, the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2013 Plan was increased to 4,556,307 shares. The Company also granted 1,019,687 restricted stock units and 300,000 restricted stock awards to employees, directors and external advisors. In addition, the Company amended all outstanding RSUs issued prior to March 2021 such that each share scheduled to vest on a monthly vest date will now accelerate and vest on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15, preceding the

F-110

Table of Contents

applicable monthly vesting date. The Company also granted 21,955 restricted stock units to employees in May 2021.

On June 14, 2021, the PPP Loan was forgiven in full, for the principal amount of $2.5 million and interest of approximately $28 thousand that had accrued from the funding date of April 30, 2020 through the forgiveness date. For the three-month period ending June 30, 2021 and the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021, the Company anticipates that it will recognize a gain from the extinguishment of the full amount of the PPP Loan.

On June 21, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger with CCAC and Merger Sub (the “Merger Agreement”), for a proposed business combination. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and subject to the conditions thereof, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and the Company will be the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of CCAC (the “Merger”). The Merger is subject to approval by stockholders of the Company and CCAC.

Underwritten Shelf Takedown

”);

provided

that the Company shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if such offering shall include Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the Demanding Holder, either individually or together with other Demanding Holders, with an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, of at least $100 million (the “

that is then available for such offering.

2.1.5

Reduction of Underwritten Offering

. If the underwriter in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown advises the Demanding Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Demanding Holders shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting (such maximum number of such securities, the “

provided

that the Sponsor Majority Holders, the Director Holders or the Quanergy Holders may elect to have the Company continue an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if the Minimum Takedown Threshold would still be satisfied by the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown by the Sponsor Majority Holders, the Director Holders, the Quanergy Holders or any of their respective Permitted Transferees, as applicable. If withdrawn, a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall constitute a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown by the withdrawing Demanding Holder for purposes of

Section

2.1.4

, unless either (i) such Demanding Holder has not previously withdrawn any Underwritten Shelf Takedown or (ii) such Demanding Holder reimburses the Company for all Registration Expenses with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown (or, if there is more than one Demanding Holder, a pro rata portion of such Registration Expenses based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder has

E-7

requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown);

provided

that, if the Sponsor Majority Holders, the Director Holders or the Quanergy Holders elect to continue an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, such Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall instead count as an Underwritten Shelf Takedown demanded by the Sponsor Majority Holders, the Director Holders or the Quanergy Holders, as applicable, for purposes of

Section

2.1.4

. Following the receipt of any Withdrawal Notice, the Company shall promptly forward such Withdrawal Notice to any other Holders that had elected to participate in such Shelf Takedown.

. If (but without any obligation to do so) the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for holders of capital stock other than the Holders) any of its stock under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company stock plan or a transaction covered by Rule 145 under the Securities Act, a registration in which the only stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities which are also being registered, or any registration on any form which does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities), then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed offering to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but not less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such offering, which notice shall (A) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to include in such registered offering such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within five (5) days after receipt of such written notice (such registered offering, a “

Piggyback Registration

”). Subject to

Section

2.2.2

, the Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and, if applicable, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of such Piggyback Registration to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this

Section

2.2.1

to be included therein on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such registered offering and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The inclusion of any Holder’s Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Registration shall be subject to such Holder agreement to enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering.

2.2.2

Reduction of Piggyback Registration

. If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by holders of Registrable Securities to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the securities so included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling security holders according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each selling security holder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such selling security holders). For purposes of the preceding parenthetical concerning apportionment, for any selling security holder which is a holder of Registrable Securities and which is a partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners and holders of capital stock of such holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single “selling security holder,” and any

pro-rata

reduction with respect to such “selling security holder” shall be based upon the

E-8

Table of Contents

aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “selling security holder,” as defined in this sentence.

2.2.3

Piggyback Registration Withdrawal

. Any Holder of Registrable Securities (other than a Demanding Holder, whose right to withdraw from an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, and related obligations, shall be governed by

Section

2.1.6

) shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Piggyback Registration or, in the case of a Piggyback Registration pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement with respect to such Piggyback Registration used for marketing such transaction. The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons or entities pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration (which, in no circumstance, shall include a Shelf) at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (other than

Section

2.1.6

), the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this

Section

2.2.3

2.2.4

Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights

lock-up

agreement or in the event the managing Underwriters otherwise agree by written consent. Each such Holder agrees to execute a customary

lock-up

agreement in favor of the Underwriters to such effect (in each case on substantially the same terms and conditions as all such Holders).

Block Trade

Other Coordinated Offering

provided

that the Demanding Holders representing a majority of the Registrable Securities wishing to engage in the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work with the Company and any Underwriters, brokers, sales agents or placement agents prior to making such request in order to facilitate preparation of the registration statement, prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering.

expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement is contained in (or not contained in, in the case of an omission) any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein;

provided

however

, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers,

E-14

Table of Contents

directors and each person or entity who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.

4.1.3 Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s or entity’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (plus local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person or entity of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under

Section

4.1

from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and

out-of-pocket

expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and

out-of-pocket

expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by in the case of an omission), such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action;

provided

however

, that the liability of any Holder under this

Section

4.1.5

shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in

Sections 4.1.1

4.1.2

and

4.1.3

above, any legal or other fees, charges or

out-of-pocket

expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this

Section

4.1.5

were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this

Section

4.1.5

. No person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this

Section

4.1.5

from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

1.	G ENERAL ; P URPOSE .

(a)

The Plan provides a means by which Eligible Employees of the Company and certain Designated Companies may be given an opportunity to purchase shares of Common Stock. The Plan permits the Company to grant a series of Purchase Rights to Eligible Employees under an Employee Stock Purchase Plan. In addition, the Plan permits the Company to grant a series of Purchase Rights to Eligible Employees that do not meet the requirements of an Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

(b)

The Plan includes two components: a 423 Component and a

Non-423

Component. The Company intends (but makes no undertaking or representation to maintain) the 423 Component to qualify as an Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The provisions of the 423 Component, accordingly, will be construed in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or determined by the Board, the

Non-423

Component will operate and be administered in the same manner as the 423 Component.

(c)

The Company, by means of the Plan, seeks to retain the services of Eligible Employees, to secure and retain the services of new Employees and to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for the success of the Company and its Related Corporations.

2.	A DMINISTRATION .

(a)

The Board or the Committee will administer the Plan. References herein to the Board shall be deemed to refer to the Committee except where context dictates otherwise.

(b)

The Board will have the power, subject to, and within the limitations of, the express provisions of the Plan:

(i)

To determine how and when Purchase Rights will be granted and the provisions of each Offering (which need not be identical).

(ii)

To designate from time to time (A) which Related Corporations will be eligible to participate in the Plan as Designated 423 Corporations, (B) which Related Corporations or Affiliates will be eligible to participate in the Plan as Designated

Non-423

Corporations, and (C) which Designated Companies will participate in each separate Offering (to the extent that the Company makes separate Offerings).

(iii)

To impose one or more limitations (including holding periods) on the sale of shares purchased by Participants in an Offering.

(iv)

To construe and interpret the Plan and Purchase Rights, and to establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for its administration. The Board, in the exercise of this power, may correct any defect, omission or inconsistency in the Plan, in a manner and to the extent it deems necessary or expedient to make the Plan fully effective.

(v)

To settle all controversies regarding the Plan and Purchase Rights granted under the Plan.

(vi)

To suspend or terminate the Plan at any time as provided in Section 12.

(vii)

To amend the Plan at any time as provided in Section 12.

F-1

Table of Contents

(viii)

Generally, to exercise such powers and to perform such acts as it deems necessary or expedient to promote the best interests of the Company and its Related Corporations and to carry out the intent that the Plan be treated as an Employee Stock Purchase Plan with respect to the 423 Component.

(ix)

To adopt such rules, procedures and

sub-plans

as are necessary or appropriate to permit or facilitate participation in the Plan by Employees who are foreign nationals or employed or located outside the United States. Without limiting the generality of, and consistent with, the foregoing, the Board specifically is authorized to adopt rules, procedures, and

sub-plans

regarding, without limitation, eligibility to participate in the Plan, the definition of eligible “earnings,” handling and making of Contributions, establishment of bank or trust accounts to hold Contributions, payment of interest, conversion of local currency, obligations to pay payroll tax, determination of beneficiary designation requirements, withholding procedures and handling of share issuances, any of which may vary according to applicable requirements, and which, if applicable to a Designated

Non-423

Corporation, do not have to comply with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code.

(c)

The Board may delegate some or all of the administration of the Plan to a Committee or Committees. If administration is delegated to a Committee, the Committee will have, in connection with the administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore possessed by the Board that have been delegated to the Committee, including the power to delegate to a subcommittee any of the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to exercise (and references in this Plan to the Board will thereafter be to the Committee or subcommittee), subject, however, to such resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board. Further, to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, the Board or Committee may, from time to time, delegate some or all of its authority under the Plan to one or more officers of the Company or other persons or groups of persons as it deems necessary, appropriate or advisable under conditions or limitations that it may set at or after the time of the delegation. The Board may retain the authority to concurrently administer the Plan with the Committee and may, at any time, revest in the Board some or all of the powers previously delegated. Whether or not the Board has delegated administration of the Plan to a Committee, the Board will have the final power to determine all questions of policy and expediency that may arise in the administration of the Plan.

(d)

All determinations, interpretations and constructions made by the Board in good faith will not be subject to review by any person and will be final, binding and conclusive on all persons.

3.	S HARES OF C OMMON S TOCK S UBJECT TO THE P LAN .

(a)

Subject to the provisions of Section 11(a) relating to Capitalization Adjustments, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan will not exceed [●]

shares of Common Stock, plus the number of shares of Common Stock that are automatically added on January 1

of each year for a period of ten years commencing on January 1, 2022 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2031, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) one percent (1%) of the Fully-Diluted Common Stock on December 31

of the preceding calendar year, and (ii) [●] shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may act prior to the first day of any calendar year to provide that there will be no January 1

increase in the share reserve for such calendar year or that the increase in the share reserve for such calendar year will be a lesser number of shares of Common Stock than would otherwise occur pursuant to the preceding sentence. For the avoidance of doubt, up to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock reserved under this Section 3(a) may be used to satisfy purchases of Common Stock under the 423 Component and any remaining portion of such maximum number of shares may be used to satisfy purchases of Common Stock under the

Non-423

Component.

(b)

If any Purchase Right granted under the Plan terminates without having been exercised in full, the shares of Common Stock not purchased under such Purchase Right will again become available for issuance under the Plan.

F-2

Table of Contents

(c)

The stock purchasable under the Plan will be shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Stock, including shares repurchased by the Company on the open market.

4.	G RANT OF P URCHASE R IGHTS ; O FFERING .

(a)

The Board may from time to time grant or provide for the grant of Purchase Rights to Eligible Employees under an Offering (consisting of one or more Purchase Periods) on an Offering Date or Offering Dates selected by the Board. Each Offering will be in such form and will contain such terms and conditions as the Board will deem appropriate, and, with respect to the 423 Component, will comply with the requirement of Section 423(b)(5) of the Code that all Employees granted Purchase Rights will have the same rights and privileges. The terms and conditions of an Offering shall be incorporated by reference into the Plan and treated as part of the Plan. The provisions of separate Offerings need not be identical, but each Offering will include (through incorporation of the provisions of this Plan by reference in the document comprising the Offering or otherwise) the period during which the Offering will be effective, which period will not exceed 27 months beginning with the Offering Date, and the substance of the provisions contained in Sections 5 through 8, inclusive.

(b)

If a Participant has more than one Purchase Right outstanding under the Plan, unless he or she otherwise indicates in forms delivered to the Company or a third party designated by the Company (each, a “

Company Designee

”): (i) each form will apply to all of his or her Purchase Rights under the Plan, and (ii) a Purchase Right with a lower exercise price (or an earlier-granted Purchase Right, if different Purchase Rights have identical exercise prices) will be exercised to the fullest possible extent before a Purchase Right with a higher exercise price (or a later-granted Purchase Right if different Purchase Rights have identical exercise prices) will be exercised.

(c)

The Board will have the discretion to structure an Offering so that if the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the first Trading Day of a new Purchase Period within that Offering is less than or equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Offering Date for that Offering, then (i) that Offering will terminate immediately as of that first Trading Day, and (ii) the Participants in such terminated Offering will be automatically enrolled in a new Offering beginning on the first Trading Day of such new Purchase Period.

5.	E LIGIBILITY .

(a)

Purchase Rights may be granted only to Employees of the Company or, as the Board may designate in accordance with Section 2(b), to Employees of a Related Corporation or an Affiliate. Except as provided in Section 5(b) or as required by Applicable Law, an Employee will not be eligible to be granted Purchase Rights unless, on the Offering Date, the Employee has been in the employ of the Company, a Related Corporation or an Affiliate, as the case may be, for such continuous period preceding such Offering Date as the Board may require, but in no event will the required period of continuous employment be equal to or greater than two years. In addition, the Board may (unless prohibited by Applicable Law) provide that no Employee will be eligible to be granted Purchase Rights under the Plan unless, on the Offering Date, such Employee’s customary employment with the Company, the Related Corporation, or the Affiliate is more than 20 hours per week and more than five months per calendar year or such other criteria as the Board may determine consistent with Section 423 of the Code with respect to the 423 Component. The Board may also exclude from participation in the Plan or any Offering Employees who are “highly compensated employees” (within the meaning of Section 423(b)(4)(D) of the Code) of the Company or a Related Corporation or a subset of such highly compensated employees.

(b)

The Board may provide that each person who, during the course of an Offering, first becomes an Eligible Employee will, on a date or dates specified in the Offering which coincides with the day on which such person becomes an Eligible Employee or which occurs thereafter, receive a Purchase Right under that Offering, which Purchase Right will thereafter be deemed to be a part of that Offering. Such Purchase Right will have the

F-3

Table of Contents

same characteristics as any Purchase Rights originally granted under that Offering, as described herein, except that:

(i)

the date on which such Purchase Right is granted will be the “Offering Date” of such Purchase Right for all purposes, including determination of the exercise price of such Purchase Right;

(ii)

the period of the Offering with respect to such Purchase Right will begin on its Offering Date and end coincident with the end of such Offering; and

(iii)

the Board may provide that if such person first becomes an Eligible Employee within a specified period of time before the end of the Offering, he or she will not receive any Purchase Right under that Offering.

(c)

No Employee will be eligible for the grant of any Purchase Rights under the 423 Component if, immediately after any such Purchase Rights are granted, such Employee owns stock possessing five percent or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or of any Related Corporation. For purposes of this Section 5(c), the rules of Section 424(d) of the Code will apply in determining the stock ownership of any Employee, and stock which such Employee may purchase under all outstanding Purchase Rights and options will be treated as stock owned by such Employee.

(d)

As specified by Section 423(b)(8) of the Code, an Eligible Employee may be granted Purchase Rights under the 423 Component only if such Purchase Rights, together with any other rights granted under all Employee Stock Purchase Plans of the Company and any Related Corporations, do not permit such Eligible Employee’s rights to purchase stock of the Company or any Related Corporation to accrue at a rate which, when aggregated, exceeds US $25,000 of Fair Market Value of such stock (determined at the time such rights are granted, and which, with respect to the Plan, will be determined as of their respective Offering Dates) for each calendar year in which such rights are outstanding at any time.

(e)

Officers of the Company and any Designated Company, if they are otherwise Eligible Employees, will be eligible to participate in Offerings under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may (unless prohibited by Applicable Law) provide in an Offering that Employees who are highly compensated Employees within the meaning of Section 423(b)(4)(D) of the Code will not be eligible to participate.

(f)

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5 to the contrary, in the case of an Offering under the

(a)

On each Offering Date, each Eligible Employee, pursuant to an Offering made under the Plan, will be granted a Purchase Right to purchase up to that number of shares of Common Stock purchasable either with a percentage or with a maximum dollar amount, as designated by the Board (as defined by the Board in each Offering) during the period that begins on the Offering Date (or such later date as the Board determines for a particular Offering) and ends on the date stated in the Offering, which date will be no later than the end of the Offering.

(b)

The Board will establish one or more Purchase Dates during an Offering on which Purchase Rights granted for that Offering will be exercised and shares of Common Stock will be purchased in accordance with such Offering.

(c)

In connection with each Offering made under the Plan, the Board may specify (i) a maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased by any Participant on any Purchase Date during such Offering,

F-4

Table of Contents

(ii) a maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased by all Participants pursuant to such Offering and/or (iii) a maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased by all Participants on any Purchase Date under the Offering. If the aggregate purchase of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Purchase Rights granted under the Offering would exceed any such maximum aggregate number, then, in the absence of any Board action otherwise, a pro rata (based on each Participant’s accumulated Contributions) allocation of the shares of Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) available will be made in as nearly a uniform manner as will be practicable and equitable.

(d)

The purchase price of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to Purchase Rights will be specified by Board prior to the commencement of an Offering and will not be less than the lesser of:

(i)

an amount equal to 85% of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the Offering Date; or

(ii)

an amount equal to 85% of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the applicable Purchase Date.

7.	P ARTICIPATION ; W ITHDRAWAL ; T ERMINATION .

(a)

An Eligible Employee may elect to participate in an Offering and authorize payroll deductions as the means of making Contributions by completing and delivering to the Company or a Company Designee, within the time specified for the Offering, an enrollment form provided by the Company or Company Designee. The enrollment form will specify the amount of Contributions not to exceed the maximum amount specified by the Board. Each Participant’s Contributions will be credited to a bookkeeping account for such Participant under the Plan and will be deposited with the general funds of the Company except where Applicable Law requires that Contributions be deposited with a third party. If permitted in the Offering, a Participant may begin such Contributions with the first payroll occurring on or after the Offering Date (or, in the case of a payroll date that occurs after the end of the prior Offering but before the Offering Date of the next new Offering, Contributions from such payroll will be included in the new Offering). If permitted in the Offering, a Participant may thereafter reduce (including to zero) or increase his or her Contributions. If required under Applicable Law or if specifically provided in the Offering and to extent permitted by Section 423 of the Code with respect to the 423 Component, in addition to or instead of making Contributions by payroll deductions, a Participant may make Contributions through payment by cash, check or wire transfer prior to a Purchase Date.

(b)

During an Offering, a Participant may cease making Contributions and withdraw from the Offering by delivering to the Company or a Company Designee a withdrawal form provided by the Company. The Company may impose a deadline before a Purchase Date for withdrawing. Upon such withdrawal, such Participant’s Purchase Right in that Offering will immediately terminate and the Company will distribute as soon as practicable to such Participant all of his or her accumulated but unused Contributions and such Participant’s Purchase Right in that Offering shall thereupon terminate. A Participant’s withdrawal from that Offering will have no effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in any other Offerings under the Plan, but such Participant will be required to deliver a new enrollment form to participate in subsequent Offerings.

(c)

Unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, Purchase Rights granted pursuant to any Offering under the Plan will terminate immediately if the Participant either (i) is no longer an Employee for any reason or for no reason (subject to any post-employment participation period required by Applicable Law) or (ii) is otherwise no longer eligible to participate. The Company will distribute as soon as practicable to such individual all of his or her accumulated but unused Contributions.

(d)

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a Participant whose employment transfers or whose employment terminates with an immediate rehire (with no break in service) by or between the Company and a Designated Company or between Designated Companies will not be treated as having terminated employment

for purposes of participating in the Plan or an Offering; however, if a Participant transfers from an Offering under the 423 Component to an Offering under the

Non-423

Component, the exercise of the Participant’s Purchase Right will be qualified under the 423 Component only to the extent such exercise complies with Section 423 of the Code. If a Participant transfers from an Offering under the

Non-423

Component to an Offering under the 423 Component, the exercise of the Purchase Right will remain

non-qualified

under the

Non-423

Component. The Board may establish different and additional rules governing transfers between separate Offerings within the 423 Component and between Offerings under the 423 Component and Offerings under the

Non-423

Component.

(e)

During a Participant’s lifetime, Purchase Rights will be exercisable only by such Participant. Purchase Rights are not transferable by a Participant, except by will, by the laws of descent and distribution, or, if permitted by the Company, by a beneficiary designation as described in Section 10.

(f)

Unless otherwise specified in the Offering or as required by Applicable Law, the Company will have no obligation to pay interest on Contributions.

8.	E XERCISE OF P URCHASE R IGHTS .

(a)

On each Purchase Date, each Participant’s accumulated Contributions will be applied to the purchase of shares of Common Stock, up to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock permitted by the Plan and the applicable Offering, at the purchase price specified in the Offering. No fractional shares will be issued unless specifically provided for in the Offering.

(b)

Unless otherwise provided in the Offering, if any amount of accumulated Contributions remains in a Participant’s account after the purchase of shares of Common Stock on the final Purchase Date of an Offering, then such remaining amount will not roll over to the next Offering and will instead be distributed in full to such Participant after the final Purchase Date of such Offering without interest (unless otherwise required by Applicable Law).

(c)

No Purchase Rights may be exercised to any extent unless the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such exercise under the Plan are covered by an effective registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act and the Plan is in material compliance with all applicable U.S. federal and state, foreign and other securities, exchange control and other laws applicable to the Plan. If on a Purchase Date the shares of Common Stock are not so registered or the Plan is not in such compliance, no Purchase Rights will be exercised on such Purchase Date, and, subject to Section 423 of the Code with respect to the 423 Component, the Purchase Date will be delayed until the shares of Common Stock are subject to such an effective registration statement and the Plan is in material compliance, except that the Purchase Date will in no event be more than 27 months from the Offering Date. If, on the Purchase Date, as delayed to the maximum extent permissible, the shares of Common Stock are not registered and the Plan is not in material compliance with all Applicable Laws, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, no Purchase Rights will be exercised and all accumulated but unused Contributions will be distributed to the Participants without interest (unless the payment of interest is otherwise required by Applicable Law).

9.	C OVENANTS OF THE C OMPANY .

The Company will seek to obtain from each U.S. federal or state, foreign or other regulatory commission, agency or other Governmental Body having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required to grant Purchase Rights and issue and sell shares of Common Stock thereunder unless the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that doing so is not practical or would cause the Company to incur costs that are unreasonable. If, after commercially reasonable efforts, the Company is unable to obtain the authority that counsel for the Company deems necessary for the grant of Purchase Rights or the lawful issuance and sale of Common Stock under the Plan, and at a commercially reasonable cost, the Company will be relieved from any liability for failure to grant Purchase Rights and/or to issue and sell Common Stock upon exercise of such Purchase Rights.

10.	D ESIGNATION OF B ENEFICIARY .

(a)

The Company may, but is not obligated to, permit a Participant to submit a form designating a beneficiary who will receive any shares of Common Stock and/or Contributions from the Participant’s account under the Plan if the Participant dies before such shares and/or Contributions are delivered to the Participant. The Company may, but is not obligated to, permit the Participant to change such designation of beneficiary. Any such designation and/or change must be on a form approved by the Company.

(b)

If a Participant dies, and in the absence of a valid beneficiary designation, the Company will deliver any shares of Common Stock and/or Contributions to the executor or administrator of the estate of the Participant. If no executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its sole discretion, may deliver such shares of Common Stock and/or Contributions, without interest (unless the payment of interest is otherwise required by Applicable Law), to the Participant’s spouse, dependents or relatives, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate.

11.	A DJUSTMENTS UPON C HANGES IN C OMMON S TOCK ; C ORPORATE T RANSACTIONS .

(a)

In the event of a Capitalization Adjustment, the Board will appropriately and proportionately adjust: (i) the class(es) and maximum number of securities subject to the Plan pursuant to Section 3(a), (ii) the class(es) and maximum number of securities by which the share reserve is to increase automatically each year pursuant to Section 3(a), (iii) the class(es) and number of securities subject to, and the purchase price applicable to outstanding Offerings and Purchase Rights, and (iv) the class(es) and number of securities that are the subject of the purchase limits under each ongoing Offering. The Board will make these adjustments, and its determination will be final, binding and conclusive.

(b)

In the event of a Corporate Transaction, then: (i) any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation (or the surviving or acquiring corporation’s parent company) may assume or continue outstanding Purchase Rights or may substitute similar rights (including a right to acquire the same consideration paid to the stockholders in the Corporate Transaction) for outstanding Purchase Rights, or (ii) if any surviving or acquiring corporation (or its parent company)

does not assume or continue such Purchase Rights or does not substitute similar rights for such Purchase Rights, then the Participants’ accumulated Contributions will be used to purchase shares of Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) within ten business days (or such other period specified by the Board) prior to the Corporate Transaction under the outstanding Purchase Rights, and the Purchase Rights will terminate immediately after such purchase.

12.	A MENDMENT , T ERMINATION OR S USPENSION OF THE P LAN .

(a)

The Board may amend the Plan at any time in any respect the Board deems necessary or advisable. However, except as provided in Section 11(a) relating to Capitalization Adjustments, stockholder approval will be required for any amendment of the Plan for which stockholder approval is required by Applicable Law.

(b)

The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. No Purchase Rights may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated.

Any benefits, privileges, entitlements and obligations under any outstanding Purchase Rights granted before an amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan will not be materially impaired by any such amendment, suspension or termination except (i) with the consent of the person to whom such Purchase Rights were granted, (ii) as necessary to facilitate compliance with any laws, listing requirements, or governmental regulations (including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 423 of the Code and the regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder relating to Employee Stock Purchase Plans) including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued or amended after the date the Plan is adopted by the

F-7

Table of Contents

Board, or (iii) as necessary to obtain or maintain favorable tax, listing, or regulatory treatment. To be clear, the Board may amend outstanding Purchase Rights without a Participant’s consent if such amendment is necessary to ensure that the Purchase Right and/or the Plan complies with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code with respect to the 423 Component or with respect to other Applicable Laws. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Offering Document to the contrary, the Board will be entitled to: (i) establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars; (ii) permit Contributions in excess of the amount designated by a Participant in order to adjust for mistakes in the Company’s processing of properly completed Contribution elections; (iii) establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Common Stock for each Participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from the Participant’s Contributions; (iv) amend any outstanding Purchase Rights or clarify any ambiguities regarding the terms of any Offering to enable the Purchase Rights to qualify under and/or comply with Section 423 of the Code with respect to the 423 Component; and (v) establish other limitations or procedures as the Board determines in its sole discretion advisable that are consistent with the Plan. The actions of the Board pursuant to this paragraph will not be considered to alter or impair any Purchase Rights granted under an Offering as they are part of the initial terms of each Offering and the Purchase Rights granted under each Offering.

13.	T AX Q UALIFICATION ; T AX W ITHHOLDING .

(a)

Although the Company may endeavor to (i) qualify a Purchase Right for special tax treatment under the laws of the United States or jurisdictions outside of the United States or (ii) avoid adverse tax treatment, the Company makes no representation to that effect and expressly disavows any covenant to maintain special or to avoid unfavorable tax treatment, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan. The Company will be unconstrained in its corporate activities without regard to the potential negative tax impact on Participants.

(b)

Each Participant will make arrangements, satisfactory to the Company and any applicable Related Corporation, to enable the Company or the Related Corporation to fulfill any withholding obligation for

Tax-Related

Items. Without limitation to the foregoing, in the Company’s sole discretion and subject to Applicable Law, such withholding obligation may be satisfied in whole or in part by (i) withholding from the Participant’s salary or any other cash payment due to the Participant from the Company or a Related Corporation; (ii) withholding from the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, either through a voluntary sale or a mandatory sale arranged by the Company; or (iii) any other method deemed acceptable by the Board. The Company shall not be required to issue any shares of Common Stock under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied.

(c)

The 423 Component is exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code, and any ambiguities herein shall be interpreted to so be exempt from Section 409A of the Code. The

Non-423

Component is intended to be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code under the short-term deferral exception and any ambiguities shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. In furtherance of the foregoing and notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, if the Committee determines that an option granted under the Plan may be subject to Section 409A of the Code or that any provision in the Plan would cause an option under the Plan to be subject to Section 409A, the Committee may amend the terms of the Plan and/or of an outstanding option granted under the Plan, or take such other action the Committee determines is necessary or appropriate, in each case, without the participant’s consent, to exempt any outstanding option or future option that may be granted under the Plan from or to allow any such options to comply with Section 409A of the Code, but only to the extent any such amendments or action by the Committee would not violate Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no liability to a participant or any other party if the option under the Plan that is intended to be exempt from or compliant with Section 409A of the Code is not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Committee with respect thereto.

(a)

Plan Purpose.

The Company, by means of the Plan, seeks to secure and retain the services of Employees, Directors and Consultants, to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for the success of the Company and any Affiliate and to provide a means by which such persons may be given an opportunity to benefit from increases in value of the Common Stock through the granting of Awards.

(b)

Available Awards.

The Plan provides for the grant of the following Awards: (i) Incentive Stock Options; (ii) Nonstatutory Stock Options; (iii) SARs; (iv) Restricted Stock Awards; (v) RSU Awards; (vi) Performance Awards; and (vii) Other Awards.

(c)

Adoption Date; Effective Date.

The Plan will come into existence on the Adoption Date, but no Award may be granted prior to the Effective Date.

2.	S HARES S UBJECT TO THE P LAN .

(a)

Share Reserve.

Subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 2(c) and any adjustments as necessary to implement any Capitalization Adjustments, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to Awards will not exceed [●]

In addition, subject to any adjustments as necessary to implement any Capitalization Adjustments, such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock will automatically increase on January 1 of each year for a period of ten years commencing on January 1, 2022 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2031, in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the Fully-Diluted Common Stock on December 31 of the preceding year; provided, however, that the Board may act prior to January 1

of a given year to provide that the increase for such year will be a lesser number of shares of Common Stock.

(b)

Aggregate Incentive Stock Option Limit.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2(a) and subject to any adjustments as necessary to implement any Capitalization Adjustments, the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options is [●] shares.

(i)

Limit Applies to Common Stock Issued Pursuant to Awards.

For clarity, the Share Reserve is a limit on the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to Awards and does not limit the granting of Awards, except that the Company will keep available at all times the number of shares of Common Stock reasonably required to satisfy its obligations to issue shares pursuant to such Awards. Shares may be issued in connection with a merger or acquisition as permitted by, as applicable, Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c), NYSE Listed Company Manual Section 303A.08, NYSE American Company Guide Section 711 or other applicable rule, and such issuance will not reduce the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan.

(ii)

Actions that Do Not Constitute Issuance of Common Stock and Do Not Reduce Share Reserve.

The following actions do not result in an issuance of shares under the Plan and accordingly do not reduce the number of shares subject to the Share Reserve and available for issuance under the Plan: (1) the

1	NTD: To be equal to 10% of shares of the fully-diluted shares of common stock immediately following effective date.

Each Option and SAR will have such terms and conditions as determined by the Board. Each Option will be designated in writing as an Incentive Stock Option or Nonstatutory Stock Option at the time of grant; provided, however, that if an Option is not so designated or if an Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option fails to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, then such Option will be a Nonstatutory Stock Option, and the shares purchased upon exercise of each type of Option will be separately accounted for. Each SAR will be denominated in shares of Common Stock equivalents. The terms and conditions of separate Options and SARs need not be identical; provided, however, that each Option Agreement and SAR Agreement will conform (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Award Agreement or otherwise) to the substance of each of the following provisions:

(c)

Exercise Procedure and Payment of Exercise Price for Options.

In order to exercise an Option, the Participant must provide notice of exercise to the Plan Administrator in accordance with the procedures specified in the Option Agreement or otherwise provided by the Company. The Board has the authority to grant Options that do not permit all of the following methods of payment (or otherwise restrict the ability to use certain methods) and to grant Options that require the consent of the Company to utilize a particular method of payment. The exercise price of an Option may be paid, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and as determined by the Board, by one or more of the following methods of payment to the extent set forth in the Option Agreement:

(i)

by cash or check, bank draft or money order payable to the Company;

(ii)

pursuant to a “cashless exercise” program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board that, prior to the issuance of the Common Stock subject to the Option, results in either the receipt of cash (or check) by the Company or the receipt of irrevocable instructions to pay the exercise price to the Company from the sales proceeds;

(iii)

by delivery to the Company (either by actual delivery or attestation) of shares of Common Stock that are already owned by the Participant free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or security interests, with a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise that does not exceed the exercise price, provided that (1) at the time of exercise the Common Stock is publicly traded, (2) any remaining balance of the exercise price not satisfied by such delivery is paid by the Participant in cash or other permitted form of payment, (3) such delivery would not violate any Applicable Law or agreement restricting the redemption of the Common Stock, (4) any certificated shares are endorsed or accompanied by an executed assignment separate from certificate, and (5) such shares have been held by the Participant for any minimum period necessary to avoid adverse accounting treatment as a result of such delivery;

G-3

(iv)

if the Option is a Nonstatutory Stock Option, by a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise by the largest whole number of shares with a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise that does not exceed the exercise price, provided that (1) such shares used to pay the exercise price will not be exercisable thereafter and (2) any remaining balance of the exercise price not satisfied by such net exercise is paid by the Participant in cash or other permitted form of payment; or

(v)

in any other form of consideration that may be acceptable to the Board and permissible under Applicable Law.

(d)

Exercise Procedure and Payment of Appreciation Distribution for SARs

In order to exercise any SAR, the Participant must provide notice of exercise to the Plan Administrator in accordance with the SAR Agreement. The appreciation distribution payable to a Participant upon the exercise of a SAR will not be greater than an amount equal to the excess of (i) the aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Common Stock equivalents that are vested and being exercised under such SAR, over (ii) the strike price of such SAR. Such appreciation distribution may be paid to the Participant in the form of Common Stock or cash (or any combination of Common Stock and cash) or in any other form of payment, as determined by the Board and specified in the SAR Agreement.

(e)

Transferability.

Options and SARs may not be transferred to third party financial institutions for value. The Board may impose such additional limitations on the transferability of an Option or SAR as it determines. In the absence of any such determination by the Board, the following restrictions on the transferability of Options and SARs will apply, provided that except as explicitly provided herein, neither an Option nor a SAR may be transferred for consideration and provided, further, that if an Option is an Incentive Stock Option, such Option may be deemed to be a Nonstatutory Stock Option as a result of such transfer:

(i)

Restrictions on Transfer.

An Option or SAR will not be transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and will be exercisable during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant; provided, however, that the Board may permit transfer of an Option or SAR in a manner that is not prohibited by applicable tax and securities laws upon the Participant’s request, including to a trust if the Participant is considered to be the sole beneficial owner of such trust (as determined under Section 671 of the Code and applicable state law) while such Option or SAR is held in such trust, provided that the Participant and the trustee enter into a transfer and other agreements required by the Company.

(ii)

Domestic Relations Orders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the execution of transfer documentation in a format acceptable to the Company and subject to the approval of the Board or a duly authorized Officer, an Option or SAR may be transferred pursuant to a domestic relations order.

(f)

Vesting.

The Board may impose such restrictions on or conditions to the vesting and/or exercisability of an Option or SAR as determined by the Board. Except as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement or other written agreement between a Participant and the Company or an Affiliate, vesting of Options and SARs will cease upon termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service.

(g)

Termination of Continuous Service for Cause.

Except as explicitly otherwise provided in the Award Agreement or other written agreement between a Participant and the Company or an Affiliate, if a Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated for Cause, the Participant’s Options and SARs will terminate and be forfeited immediately upon such termination of Continuous Service, and the Participant will be prohibited from exercising any portion (including any vested portion) of such Awards on and after the date of such termination of Continuous Service and the Participant will have no further right, title or interest in such forfeited Award, the shares of Common Stock subject to the forfeited Award, or any consideration in respect of the forfeited Award.

(h)

Post-Termination Exercise Period Following Termination of Continuous Service for Reasons Other than Cause.

Subject to Section 4(i), if a Participant’s Continuous Service terminates for any reason other

than for Cause, the Participant may exercise his or her Option or SAR to the extent vested, but only within the following period of time or, if applicable, such other period of time provided in the Award Agreement or other written agreement between a Participant and the Company or an Affiliate; provided, however, that in no event may such Award be exercised after the expiration of its maximum term (as set forth in Section 4(a)):

(i)

three months following the date of such termination if such termination is a termination without Cause (other than any termination due to the Participant’s Disability or death);

(ii)

12 months following the date of such termination if such termination is due to the Participant’s Disability;

(iii)

18 months following the date of such termination if such termination is due to the Participant’s death; or

(iv)

18 months following the date of the Participant’s death if such death occurs following the date of such termination but during the period such Award is otherwise exercisable (as provided in (i) or (ii) above).

Following the date of such termination, to the extent the Participant does not exercise such Award within the applicable Post-Termination Exercise Period (or, if earlier, prior to the expiration of the maximum term of such Award), such unexercised portion of the Award will terminate, and the Participant will have no further right, title or interest in the terminated Award, the shares of Common Stock subject to the terminated Award, or any consideration in respect of the terminated Award.

(i)

Restrictions on Exercise; Extension of Exercisability.

A Participant may not exercise an Option or SAR at any time that the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon such exercise would violate Applicable Law. Except as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement or other written agreement between a Participant and the Company or an Affiliate, if a Participant’s Continuous Service terminates for any reason other than for Cause and, at any time during the last thirty days of the applicable Post-Termination Exercise Period: (i) the exercise of the Participant’s Option or SAR would be prohibited solely because the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon such exercise would violate Applicable Law, or (ii) the immediate sale of any shares of Common Stock issued upon such exercise would violate the Company’s Trading Policy, then the applicable Post-Termination Exercise Period will be extended to the last day of the calendar month that commences following the date the Award would otherwise expire, with an additional extension of the exercise period to the last day of the next calendar month to apply if any of the foregoing restrictions apply at any time during such extended exercise period, generally without limitation as to the maximum permitted number of extensions); provided, however, that in no event may such Award be exercised after the expiration of its maximum term (as set forth in Section 4(a)).

(j)

Non-Exempt

Employees

. No Option or SAR, whether or not vested, granted to an Employee who is a

non-exempt

employee for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, will be first exercisable for any shares of Common Stock until at least six months following the date of grant of such Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in accordance with the provisions of the Worker Economic Opportunity Act, any vested portion of such Award may be exercised earlier than six months following the date of grant of such Award in the event of (i) such Participant’s death or Disability, (ii) a Corporate Transaction in which such Award is not assumed, continued or substituted, (iii) a Change in Control, or (iv) such Participant’s retirement (as such term may be defined in the Award Agreement or another applicable agreement or, in the absence of any such definition, in accordance with the Company’s then current employment policies and guidelines). This Section 4(j) is intended to operate so that any income derived by a

non-exempt

employee in connection with the exercise or vesting of an Option or SAR will be exempt from his or her regular rate of pay.

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a Participant will have voting and other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares subject to a Restricted Stock Award.

(2)

RSU Awards: An RSU Award represents a Participant’s right to be issued on a future date the number of shares of Common Stock that is equal to the number of restricted stock units subject to the RSU Award.

Performance Awards

Other Awards

. Other forms of Awards valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, Common Stock, including the appreciation in value thereof, may be granted either alone or in addition to Awards provided for under Section 4 and the preceding provisions of this Section 5. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board will have sole and complete discretion to determine the persons to whom and the time or times at which such Other Awards will be granted, the number of shares of Common Stock (or the cash equivalent thereof) to be granted pursuant to such Other Awards and all other terms and conditions of such Other Awards.

The Board or any Committee may delegate to one or more Officers the authority to do one or both of the following (i) designate Employees who are not Officers to be recipients of Options and SARs (and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, other types of Awards) and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the terms thereof, and (ii) determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be subject to such Awards granted to such Employees; provided, however, that the resolutions or charter adopted by the Board or any Committee evidencing such delegation will specify the total number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to the Awards granted by such Officer and that such Officer may not grant an Award to himself or herself. Any such Awards will be granted on the applicable form of Award Agreement most recently approved for use by the Board or the Committee, unless otherwise provided in the resolutions approving the delegation authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Board nor any Committee may delegate to an Officer who is acting solely in the capacity of an Officer (and not also as a Director) the authority to determine the Fair Market Value.

8.	T AX W ITHHOLDING

(a)

Withholding Authorization.

As a condition to acceptance of any Award under the Plan, a Participant authorizes withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to such Participant, and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision for (including), any sums required to satisfy any U.S. federal, state, local and/or foreign tax or social insurance contribution withholding obligations of the Company or an Affiliate, if any, which arise in connection with the exercise, vesting or settlement of such Award, as applicable. Accordingly, a Participant may not be able to exercise an Award even though the Award is vested, and the Company shall have no obligation to issue shares of Common Stock subject to an Award, unless and until such obligations are satisfied.

(b)

Satisfaction of Withholding Obligation.

To the extent permitted by the terms of an Award Agreement, the Company may, in its sole discretion, satisfy any U.S. federal, state, local and/or foreign tax or social insurance withholding obligation relating to an Award by any of the following means or by a combination of such means: (i) causing the Participant to tender a cash payment; (ii) withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock issued or otherwise issuable to the Participant in connection with the Award; (iii) withholding cash from an Award settled in cash; (iv) withholding payment from any amounts otherwise payable to the Participant; (v) by allowing a Participant to effectuate a “cashless exercise” pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board, or (vi) by such other method as may be set forth in the Award Agreement.

(c)

No Obligation to Notify or Minimize Taxes; No Liability to Claims.

Except as required by Applicable Law the Company has no duty or obligation to any Participant to advise such holder as to the time or manner of exercising such Award. Furthermore, the Company has no duty or obligation to warn or otherwise advise such holder of a pending termination or expiration of an Award or a possible period in which the Award may not be exercised. The Company has no duty or obligation to minimize the tax consequences of an Award to the holder of such Award and will not be liable to any holder of an Award for any adverse tax consequences to such holder in connection with an Award. As a condition to accepting an Award under the Plan, each Participant (i) agrees to not make any claim against the Company, or any of its Officers, Directors, Employees or Affiliates related to tax liabilities arising from such Award or other Company compensation and (ii) acknowledges that such Participant was advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, financial and other legal advisors regarding the tax consequences of the Award and has either done so or knowingly and voluntarily declined to do so. Additionally, each Participant acknowledges any Option or SAR granted under the Plan is exempt from Section 409A only if the exercise or strike price is at least equal to the “fair market value” of the Common Stock on the date of grant as determined by the Internal Revenue Service and there is no other impermissible deferral of compensation associated with the Award. Additionally, as a condition to accepting an Option or SAR granted under the Plan,

G-11

Table of Contents

each Participant agrees not make any claim against the Company, or any of its Officers, Directors, Employees or Affiliates in the event that the Internal Revenue Service asserts that such exercise price or strike price is less than the “fair market value” of the Common Stock on the date of grant as subsequently determined by the Internal Revenue Service.

(d)

Withholding Indemnification.

As a condition to accepting an Award under the Plan, in the event that the amount of the Company’s and/or its Affiliate’s withholding obligation in connection with such Award was greater than the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or its Affiliates, each Participant agrees to indemnify and hold the Company and/or its Affiliates harmless from any failure by the Company and/or its Affiliates to withhold the proper amount.

9.	M ISCELLANEOUS .

(a)

Source of Shares.

The stock issuable under the Plan will be shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Stock, including shares repurchased by the Company on the open market or otherwise.

(b)

Use of Proceeds from Sales of Common Stock.

Proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to Awards will constitute general funds of the Company.

(c)

Corporate Action Constituting Grant of Awards.

Corporate action constituting a grant by the Company of an Award to any Participant will be deemed completed as of the date of such corporate action, unless otherwise determined by the Board, regardless of when the instrument, certificate, or letter evidencing the Award is communicated to, or actually received or accepted by, the Participant. In the event that the corporate records (e.g., Board consents, resolutions or minutes) documenting the corporate action approving the grant contain terms (e.g., exercise price, vesting schedule or number of shares) that are inconsistent with those in the Award Agreement or related grant documents as a result of a clerical error in the Award Agreement or related grant documents, the corporate records will control and the Participant will have no legally binding right to the incorrect term in the Award Agreement or related grant documents.

(d)

Stockholder Rights.

No Participant will be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of Common Stock subject to such Award unless and until (i) such Participant has satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Award pursuant to its terms, if applicable, and (ii) the issuance of the Common Stock subject to such Award is reflected in the records of the Company.

(e)

No Employment or Other Service Rights.

Nothing in the Plan, any Award Agreement or any other instrument executed thereunder or in connection with any Award granted pursuant thereto will confer upon any Participant any right to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in the capacity in effect at the time the Award was granted or affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate at will and without regard to any future vesting opportunity that a Participant may have with respect to any Award (i) the employment of an Employee with or without notice and with or without cause, (ii) the service of a Consultant pursuant to the terms of such Consultant’s agreement with the Company or an Affiliate, or (iii) the service of a Director pursuant to the Bylaws of the Company or an Affiliate, and any applicable provisions of the corporate law of the state or foreign jurisdiction in which the Company or the Affiliate is incorporated, as the case may be. Further, nothing in the Plan, any Award Agreement or any other instrument executed thereunder or in connection with any Award will constitute any promise or commitment by the Company or an Affiliate regarding the fact or nature of future positions, future work assignments, future compensation or any other term or condition of employment or service or confer any right or benefit under the Award or the Plan unless such right or benefit has specifically accrued under the terms of the Award Agreement and/or Plan.

(f)

Change in Time Commitment

. In the event a Participant’s regular level of time commitment in the performance of his or her services for the Company and any Affiliates is reduced (for example, and without limitation, if the Participant is an Employee of the Company and the Employee has a change in status from a full-

G-12

Table of Contents

time Employee to a part-time Employee or takes an extended leave of absence) after the date of grant of any Award to the Participant, the Board may determine, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, to (i) make a corresponding reduction in the number of shares or cash amount subject to any portion of such Award that is scheduled to vest or become payable after the date of such change in time commitment, and (ii) in lieu of or in combination with such a reduction, extend the vesting or payment schedule applicable to such Award. In the event of any such reduction, the Participant will have no right with respect to any portion of the Award that is so reduced or extended.

(g)

Execution of Additional Documents.

As a condition to accepting an Award under the Plan, the Participant agrees to execute any additional documents or instruments necessary or desirable, as determined in the Plan Administrator’s sole discretion, to carry out the purposes or intent of the Award, or facilitate compliance with securities and/or other regulatory requirements, in each case at the Plan Administrator’s request.

(h)

Electronic Delivery and Participation

. Any reference herein or in an Award Agreement to a “written” agreement or document will include any agreement or document delivered electronically, filed publicly at www.sec.gov (or any successor website thereto) or posted on the Company’s intranet (or other shared electronic medium controlled by the Company to which the Participant has access). By accepting any Award the Participant consents to receive documents by electronic delivery and to participate in the Plan through any

on-line

electronic system established and maintained by the Plan Administrator or another third party selected by the Plan Administrator. The form of delivery of any Common Stock (e.g., a stock certificate or electronic entry evidencing such shares) shall be determined by the Company.

(i)

Clawback/Recovery

. All Awards granted under the Plan will be subject to recoupment in accordance with any clawback policy that the Company is required to adopt pursuant to the listing standards of any national securities exchange or association on which the Company’s securities are listed or as is otherwise required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other Applicable Law and any clawback policy that the Company otherwise adopts, to the extent applicable and permissible under Applicable Law. In addition, the Board may impose such other clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions in an Award Agreement as the Board determines necessary or appropriate, including but not limited to a reacquisition right in respect of previously acquired shares of Common Stock or other cash or property upon the occurrence of Cause. No recovery of compensation under such a clawback policy will be an event giving rise to a Participant’s right to voluntarily terminate employment upon a “resignation for good reason,” or for a “constructive termination” or any similar term under any plan of or agreement with the Company.

(j)

Securities Law Compliance.

A Participant will not be issued any shares in respect of an Award unless either (i) the shares are registered under the Securities Act; or (ii) the Company has determined that such issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Each Award also must comply with other Applicable Law governing the Award, and a Participant will not receive such shares if the Company determines that such receipt would not be in material compliance with Applicable Law.

(k)

Transfer or Assignment of Awards; Issued Shares.

Except as expressly provided in the Plan or the form of Award Agreement, Awards granted under the Plan may not be transferred or assigned by the Participant. After the vested shares subject to an Award have been issued, or in the case of Restricted Stock and similar awards, after the issued shares have vested, the holder of such shares is free to assign, hypothecate, donate, encumber or otherwise dispose of any interest in such shares provided that any such actions are in compliance with the provisions herein, the terms of the Trading Policy and Applicable Law.

(l)

Effect on Other Employee Benefit Plans.

The value of any Award granted under the Plan, as determined upon grant, vesting or settlement, shall not be included as compensation, earnings, salaries, or other similar terms used when calculating any Participant’s benefits under any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company or any Affiliate, except as such plan otherwise expressly provides. The Company expressly reserves its rights to amend, modify, or terminate any of the Company’s or any Affiliate’s employee benefit plans.

G-13

(m)

Deferrals.

To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Board, in its sole discretion, may determine that the delivery of Common Stock or the payment of cash, upon the exercise, vesting or settlement of all or a portion of any Award may be deferred and may also establish programs and procedures for deferral elections to be made by Participants. Deferrals will be made in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A.

(n)

Section 409A.

Unless otherwise expressly provided for in an Award Agreement, the Plan and Award Agreements will be interpreted to the greatest extent possible in a manner that makes the Plan and the Awards granted hereunder exempt from Section 409A, and, to the extent not so exempt, in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A. If the Board determines that any Award granted hereunder is not exempt from and is therefore subject to Section 409A, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award will incorporate the terms and conditions necessary to avoid the consequences specified in Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code, and to the extent an Award Agreement is silent on terms necessary for compliance, such terms are hereby incorporated by reference into the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan (and unless the Award Agreement specifically provides otherwise), if the shares of Common Stock are publicly traded, and if a Participant holding an Award that constitutes “deferred compensation” under Section 409A is a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A, no distribution or payment of any amount that is due because of a “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A without regard to alternative definitions thereunder) will be issued or paid before the date that is six months and one day following the date of such Participant’s “separation from service” or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death, unless such distribution or payment can be made in a manner that complies with Section 409A, and any amounts so deferred will be paid in a lump sum on the day after such six month period elapses, with the balance paid thereafter on the original schedule.

(o)

Choice of Law.

This Plan and any controversy arising out of or relating to this Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in any application of any law other than the law of the State of Delaware.

10.	C OVENANTS OF THE C OMPANY .

(a)

Compliance with Law.

The Company will seek to obtain from each regulatory commission or agency, as may be deemed to be necessary, having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required to grant Awards and to issue and sell shares of Common Stock upon exercise or vesting of the Awards; provided, however, that this undertaking will not require the Company to register under the Securities Act the Plan, any Award or any Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any such Award. If, after reasonable efforts and at a reasonable cost, the Company is unable to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the authority that counsel for the Company deems necessary or advisable for the lawful issuance and sale of Common Stock under the Plan, the Company will be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell Common Stock upon exercise or vesting of such Awards unless and until such authority is obtained. A Participant is not eligible for the grant of an Award or the subsequent issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the Award if such grant or issuance would be in violation of any Applicable Law.

11.	A DDITIONAL R ULES FOR A WARDS S UBJECT TO S ECTION 409A.

(a)

Application.

Unless the provisions of this Section of the Plan are expressly superseded by the provisions in the form of Award Agreement, the provisions of this Section shall apply and shall supersede anything to the contrary set forth in the Award Agreement for a

Non-Exempt

Award.

(b)

Non-Exempt

Awards Subject to

Non-Exempt

Severance Arrangements.

To the extent a

Non-Exempt

Award is subject to Section 409A due to application of a

Non-Exempt

Severance Arrangement, the following provisions of this subsection (b) apply.

(i)

If the

Non-Exempt

Award vests in the ordinary course during the Participant’s Continuous Service in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Award Agreement, and does not accelerate vesting under

G-14

Table of Contents

the terms of a

Non-Exempt

Severance Arrangement, in no event will the shares be issued in respect of such

Non-Exempt

Award any later than the later of: (i) December 31

of the calendar year that includes the applicable vesting date, or (ii) the 60

day that follows the applicable vesting date.

(ii)

If vesting of the

Non-Exempt

Award accelerates under the terms of a

Non-Exempt

Severance Arrangement in connection with the Participant’s Separation from Service, and such vesting acceleration provisions were in effect as of the date of grant of the

Non-Exempt

Award and, therefore, are part of the terms of such

Non-Exempt

Award as of the date of grant, then the shares will be earlier issued in settlement of such

Non-Exempt

Award upon the Participant’s Separation from Service in accordance with the terms of the

Non-Exempt

Severance Arrangement, but in no event later than the 60

day that follows the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service. However, if at the time the shares would otherwise be issued the Participant is subject to the distribution limitations contained in Section 409A applicable to “specified employees,” as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such shares shall not be issued before the date that is six months following the date of such Participant’s Separation from Service, or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death that occurs within such six month period.

(iii)

If vesting of a

Non-Exempt

Award accelerates under the terms of a

Non-Exempt

Severance Arrangement in connection with a Participant’s Separation from Service, and such vesting acceleration provisions were not in effect as of the date of grant of the

Non-Exempt

Award and, therefore, are not a part of the terms of such

Non-Exempt

Award on the date of grant, then such acceleration of vesting of the

Non-Exempt

Award shall not accelerate the issuance date of the shares, but the shares shall instead be issued on the same schedule as set forth in the Grant Notice as if they had vested in the ordinary course during the Participant’s Continuous Service, notwithstanding the vesting acceleration of the

Non-Exempt

Award. Such issuance schedule is intended to satisfy the requirements of payment on a specified date or pursuant to a fixed schedule, as provided under Treasury Regulations

Section 1.409A-3(a)(4).

(c)

Treatment of

Non-Exempt

Awards Upon a Corporate Transaction for Employees and Consultants.

The provisions of this subsection (c) shall apply and shall supersede anything to the contrary set forth in the Plan with respect to the permitted treatment of any

Non-Exempt

Award in connection with a Corporate Transaction if the Participant was either an Employee or Consultant upon the applicable date of grant of the

Non-Exempt

Award.

(i)

Vested

Non-Exempt

Awards.

The following provisions shall apply to any Vested

Non-Exempt

Award in connection with a Corporate Transaction:

(1)

If the Corporate Transaction is also a Section 409A Change in Control then the Acquiring Entity may not assume, continue or substitute the Vested

Non-Exempt

Award. Upon the Section 409A Change in Control the settlement of the Vested

Non-Exempt

Award will automatically be accelerated and the shares will be immediately issued in respect of the Vested

Non-Exempt

Award. Alternatively, the Company may instead provide that the Participant will receive a cash settlement equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares that would otherwise be issued to the Participant upon the Section 409A Change in Control.

(2)

If the Corporate Transaction is not also a Section 409A Change in Control, then the Acquiring Entity must either assume, continue or substitute each Vested

Non-Exempt

Award. The shares to be issued in respect of the Vested

Non-Exempt

Award shall be issued to the Participant by the Acquiring Entity on the same schedule that the shares would have been issued to the Participant if the Corporate Transaction had not occurred. In the Acquiring Entity’s discretion, in lieu of an issuance of shares, the Acquiring Entity may instead substitute a cash payment on each applicable issuance date, equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares that would otherwise be issued to the Participant on such issuance dates, with the determination of the Fair Market Value of the shares made on the date of the Corporate Transaction.

G-15

Table of Contents

(ii)

Unvested

Non-Exempt

Awards.

The following provisions shall apply to any Unvested

Non-Exempt

Award unless otherwise determined by the Board pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section.

(1)

In the event of a Corporate Transaction, the Acquiring Entity shall assume, continue or substitute any Unvested

Non-Exempt

Award. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, any Unvested

Non-Exempt

Award will remain subject to the same vesting and forfeiture restrictions that were applicable to the Award prior to the Corporate Transaction. The shares to be issued in respect of any Unvested

Non-Exempt

Award shall be issued to the Participant by the Acquiring Entity on the same schedule that the shares would have been issued to the Participant if the Corporate Transaction had not occurred. In the Acquiring Entity’s discretion, in lieu of an issuance of shares, the Acquiring Entity may instead substitute a cash payment on each applicable issuance date, equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares that would otherwise be issued to the Participant on such issuance dates, with the determination of Fair Market Value of the shares made on the date of the Corporate Transaction.

(2)

If the Acquiring Entity will not assume, substitute or continue any Unvested

Non-Exempt

Award in connection with a Corporate Transaction, then such Award shall automatically terminate and be forfeited upon the Corporate Transaction with no consideration payable to any Participant in respect of such forfeited Unvested

Non-Exempt

Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted and in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A, the Board may in its discretion determine to elect to accelerate the vesting and settlement of the Unvested

Non-Exempt

Award upon the Corporate Transaction, or instead substitute a cash payment equal to the Fair Market Value of such shares that would otherwise be issued to the Participant, as further provided in subsection (e)(ii) below. In the absence of such discretionary election by the Board, any Unvested

Non-Exempt

Award shall be forfeited without payment of any consideration to the affected Participants if the Acquiring Entity will not assume, substitute or continue the Unvested

Non-Exempt

Awards in connection with the Corporate Transaction.

(3)

The foregoing treatment shall apply with respect to all Unvested

Non-Exempt

Awards upon any Corporate Transaction, and regardless of whether or not such Corporate Transaction is also a Section 409A Change in Control.

(d)

Treatment of

Non-Exempt

Awards Upon a Corporate Transaction for

Non-Employee

Directors.

The following provisions of this subsection (d) shall apply and shall supersede anything to the contrary that may be set forth in the Plan with respect to the permitted treatment of a

Non-Exempt

Director Award in connection with a Corporate Transaction.

(i)

If the Corporate Transaction is also a Section 409A Change in Control then the Acquiring Entity may not assume, continue or substitute the

Non-Exempt

Director Award. Upon the Section 409A Change in Control the vesting and settlement of any

Non-Exempt

Director Award will automatically be accelerated and the shares will be immediately issued to the Participant in respect of the

Non-Exempt

Director Award. Alternatively, the Company may provide that the Participant will instead receive a cash settlement equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares that would otherwise be issued to the Participant upon the Section 409A Change in Control pursuant to the preceding provision.

(ii)

If the Corporate Transaction is not also a Section 409A Change in Control, then the Acquiring Entity must either assume, continue or substitute the

Non-Exempt

Director Award. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the

Non-Exempt

Director Award will remain subject to the same vesting and forfeiture restrictions that were applicable to the Award prior to the Corporate Transaction. The shares to be issued in respect of the

Non-Exempt

Director Award shall be issued to the Participant by the Acquiring Entity on the same schedule that the shares would have been issued to the Participant if the Corporate Transaction had not occurred. In the Acquiring Entity’s discretion, in lieu of an issuance of shares, the Acquiring Entity may instead substitute a cash payment on each applicable issuance date, equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares that would otherwise be issued to the Participant on such issuance dates, with the determination of Fair Market Value made on the date of the Corporate Transaction.

G-16

Table of Contents

(e)

If the RSU Award is a

Non-Exempt

Award, then the provisions in this Section 11(e) shall apply and supersede anything to the contrary that may be set forth in the Plan or the Award Agreement with respect to the permitted treatment of such

Non-Exempt

Award:

(i)

Any exercise by the Board of discretion to accelerate the vesting of a

Non-Exempt

Award shall not result in any acceleration of the scheduled issuance dates for the shares in respect of the

Non-Exempt

Award unless earlier issuance of the shares upon the applicable vesting dates would be in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A.

(ii)

The Company explicitly reserves the right to earlier settle any

Non-Exempt

Award to the extent permitted and in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A, including pursuant to any of the exemptions available in Treasury Regulations

Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix).

(iii)

To the extent the terms of any

Non-Exempt

Award provide that it will be settled upon a Change in Control or Corporate Transaction, to the extent it is required for compliance with the requirements of Section 409A, the Change in Control or Corporate Transaction event triggering settlement must also constitute a Section 409A Change in Control. To the extent the terms of a

Non-Exempt

Award provides that it will be settled upon a termination of employment or termination of Continuous Service, to the extent it is required for compliance with the requirements of Section 409A, the termination event triggering settlement must also constitute a Separation From Service. However, if at the time the shares would otherwise be issued to a Participant in connection with a “separation from service” such Participant is subject to the distribution limitations contained in Section 409A applicable to “specified employees,” as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such shares shall not be issued before the date that is six months following the date of the Participant’s Separation From Service, or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death that occurs within such six month period.

(iv)

The provisions in this subsection (e) for delivery of the shares in respect of the settlement of an RSU Award that is a

Non-Exempt

Award are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that the delivery of the shares to the Participant in respect of such

Non-Exempt

Award will not trigger the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be so interpreted.

12.	S EVERABILITY .

If all or any part of the Plan or any Award Agreement is declared by any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity shall not invalidate any portion of the Plan or such Award Agreement not declared to be unlawful or invalid. Any Section of the Plan or any Award Agreement (or part of such a Section) so declared to be unlawful or invalid shall, if possible, be construed in a manner which will give effect to the terms of such Section or part of a Section to the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid.

13.	T ERMINATION OF THE P LAN .

The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. No Incentive Stock Options may be granted after the tenth anniversary of the earlier of: (i) the Adoption Date, or (ii) the date the Plan is approved by the Company’s stockholders.

Continuous Service

A change in the capacity in which the Participant renders service to the Company or an Affiliate as an Employee, Director or Consultant or a change in the Entity for which the Participant renders such service, provided that there is no interruption or termination of the Participant’s service with the Company or an Affiliate, will not terminate a Participant’s Continuous Service; provided, however, that if the Entity for which a Participant is rendering services ceases to qualify as an Affiliate, as determined by the Board, such Participant’s Continuous Service will be considered to have terminated on the date such Entity ceases to qualify as an Affiliate. For example, a change in status from an Employee of the Company to a Consultant of an Affiliate or to a Director will not constitute an interruption of Continuous Service. To the extent permitted by law, the Board or the chief executive officer of the Company, in that party’s sole discretion, may determine whether Continuous Service will be considered interrupted in the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by the Board or chief executive officer, including sick leave, military leave or any other personal leave, or (ii) transfers between the Company, an Affiliate, or their successors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a leave of absence will be treated as Continuous Service for purposes of vesting in an Award only to such extent as may be provided in the Company’s leave of absence policy, in the written terms of any leave of absence agreement or policy applicable to the Participant, or as otherwise required by law. In addition, to the extent required for exemption from or compliance with Section 409A, the determination of whether there has been a termination of Continuous Service will be made, and such term will be construed, in a manner that is consistent with the definition of “separation from service” as defined under Treasury Regulation

H-7

Table of Contents

(b)

Class B Shares held by the Founders shall be surrendered by the Founders on a pro rata basis for no consideration to the extent that the Over-Allotment Option is not exercised in full so that the Founders will own 20 per cent of the Company’s issued Shares after the IPO (exclusive of any securities purchased in a private placement simultaneously with the IPO); and

(c)

Public Shares shall be repurchased by way of tender offer in the circumstances set out in the Business Combination Article hereof.

Subject to the provisions of the Statute, and, where applicable, the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law, the Company may purchase its own Shares (including any redeemable Shares) in such manner and on such other terms as the Directors may agree with the relevant Member. For the avoidance of doubt, redemptions, repurchases and surrenders of Shares in the circumstances described in the Article above shall not require further approval of the Members.

10	Variation of Rights of Shares

10.1

Subject to Article 3.1, if at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different classes of Shares, all or any of the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class) may, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied without the consent of the holders of the issued Shares of that class where such variation is considered by the Directors not to have a material adverse effect upon such rights; otherwise, any such variation shall be made only with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than two thirds of the issued Shares of that class (other than with respect to a waiver of the provisions of the Class B Share Conversion Article hereof, which as stated therein shall only require the consent in writing of the holders of a majority of the issued Shares of that class), or with the approval of a resolution passed by a majority of not less than two thirds of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the holders of the Shares of that class. For the avoidance of doubt, the Directors reserve the right, notwithstanding that any such variation may not have a material adverse effect, to obtain consent from the holders of Shares of the relevant class. To any such meeting all the provisions of the Articles relating to general meetings shall apply

mutatis mutandis

, except that the necessary quorum shall be one person holding or representing by proxy at least one third of the issued Shares of the class and that any holder of Shares of the class present in person or by proxy may demand a poll.

10.2

For the purposes of a separate class meeting, the Directors may treat two or more or all the classes of Shares as forming one class of Shares if the Directors consider that such class of Shares would be affected in the same way by the proposals under consideration, but in any other case shall treat them as separate classes of Shares.

10.3

The rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further Shares ranking pari passu therewith or Shares issued with preferred or other rights.

H-8

Table of Contents

11	Commission on Sale of Shares

The Company may, in so far as the Statute permits, pay a commission to any person in consideration of his subscribing or agreeing to subscribe (whether absolutely or conditionally) or procuring or agreeing to procure subscriptions (whether absolutely or conditionally) for any Shares. Such commissions may be satisfied by the payment of cash and/or the issue of fully or

partly paid-up Shares.

The Company may also on any issue of Shares pay such brokerage as may be lawful.

12	Non Recognition of Trusts

The Company shall not be bound by or compelled to recognise in any way (even when notified) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Share, or (except only as is otherwise provided by the Articles or the Statute) any other rights in respect of any Share other than an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the holder.

13	Lien on Shares

13.1

The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on all Shares (whether

fully paid-up or

not) registered in the name of a Member (whether solely or jointly with others) for all debts, liabilities or engagements to or with the Company (whether presently payable or not) by such Member or his estate, either alone or jointly with any other person, whether a Member or not, but the Directors may at any time declare any Share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. The registration of a transfer of any such Share shall operate as a waiver of the Company’s lien thereon. The Company’s lien on a Share shall also extend to any amount payable in respect of that Share.

13.2

The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors think fit, any Shares on which the Company has a lien, if a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable, and is not paid within fourteen clear days after notice has been received or deemed to have been received by the holder of the Shares, or to the person entitled to it in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the holder, demanding payment and stating that if the notice is not complied with the Shares may be sold.

13.3

To give effect to any such sale the Directors may authorise any person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Shares sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser. The purchaser or his nominee shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer, and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the sale or the exercise of the Company’s power of sale under the Articles.

13.4

The net proceeds of such sale after payment of costs, shall be applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable and any balance shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares before the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the Shares at the date of the sale.

14	Call on Shares

14.1

Subject to the terms of the allotment and issue of any Shares, the Directors may make calls upon the Members in respect of any monies unpaid on their Shares (whether in respect of par value or premium), and each Member shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen clear days’ notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on the Shares. A call may be revoked or postponed, in whole or in part, as the Directors may determine. A call may be required to be paid by instalments. A person upon whom a call is made shall remain liable for calls made upon him notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the Shares in respect of which the call was made.

14.2	A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorising such call was passed.

H-9

Table of Contents

14.3	The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof.

14.4

If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable, the person from whom it is due shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due and payable until it is paid at such rate as the Directors may determine (and in addition all expenses that have been incurred by the Company by reason of

such non-payment), but

the Directors may waive payment of the interest or expenses wholly or in part.

14.5

An amount payable in respect of a Share on issue or allotment or at any fixed date, whether on account of the par value of the Share or premium or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a call and if it is not paid all the provisions of the Articles shall apply as if that amount had become due and payable by virtue of a call.

14.6	The Directors may issue Shares with different terms as to the amount and times of payment of calls, or the interest to be paid.

14.7

The Directors may, if they think fit, receive an amount from any Member willing to advance all or any part of the monies uncalled and unpaid upon any Shares held by him, and may (until the amount would otherwise become payable) pay interest at such rate as may be agreed upon between the Directors and the Member paying such amount in advance.

14.8	No such amount paid in advance of calls shall entitle the Member paying such amount to any portion of a Dividend or other distribution payable in respect of any period prior to the date upon which such amount would, but for such payment, become payable.

15	Forfeiture of Shares

15.1

If a call or instalment of a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the Directors may give to the person from whom it is due not less than fourteen clear days’ notice requiring payment of the amount unpaid together with any interest which may have accrued and any expenses incurred by the Company by reason of

such non-payment. The

notice shall specify where payment is to be made and shall state that if the notice is not complied with the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

15.2

If the notice is not complied with, any Share in respect of which it was given may, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors. Such forfeiture shall include all Dividends, other distributions or other monies payable in respect of the forfeited Share and not paid before the forfeiture.

15.3

A forfeited Share may be

sold, re-allotted or

otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit and at any time before a

sale, re-allotment or

disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit. Where for the purposes of its disposal a forfeited Share is to be transferred to any person the Directors may authorise some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Share in favour of that person.

15.4

A person any of whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of them and shall surrender to the Company for cancellation the certificate for the Shares forfeited and shall remain liable to pay to the Company all monies which at the date of forfeiture were payable by him to the Company in respect of those Shares together with interest at such rate as the Directors may determine, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all monies due and payable by him in respect of those Shares.

15.5

A certificate in writing under the hand of one Director or Officer that a Share has been forfeited on a specified date shall be conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the Share. The certificate shall (subject to the execution of an instrument of transfer) constitute a good title to the Share and the person to whom the Share is sold or otherwise disposed of shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his title to the Share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the Share.

H-10

Table of Contents

15.6

The provisions of the Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the par value of the Share or by way of premium as if it had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

16	Transmission of Shares

16.1

If a Member dies, the survivor or survivors (where he was a joint holder), or his legal personal representatives (where he was a sole holder), shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to his Shares. The estate of a deceased Member is not thereby released from any liability in respect of any Share, for which he was a joint or sole holder.

16.2

Any person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other way than by transfer) may, upon such evidence being produced as may be required by the Directors, elect, by a notice in writing sent by him to the Company, either to become the holder of such Share or to have some person nominated by him registered as the holder of such Share. If he elects to have another person registered as the holder of such Share he shall sign an instrument of transfer of that Share to that person. The Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before his death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution, as the case may be.

16.3

A person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other case than by transfer) shall be entitled to the same Dividends, other distributions and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the holder of such Share. However, he shall not, before becoming a Member in respect of a Share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to general meetings of the Company and the Directors may at any time give notice requiring any such person to elect either to be registered himself or to have some person nominated by him be registered as the holder of the Share (but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before his death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution or any other case than by transfer, as the case may be). If the notice is not complied with within ninety days of being received or deemed to be received (as determined pursuant to the Articles), the Directors may thereafter withhold payment of all Dividends, other distributions, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the Share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

17	Class B Share Conversion

17.1

The rights attaching to all Shares shall rank

pari passu

in all respects, and the Class A Shares and Class B Shares shall vote together as a single class on all matters (subject to the Variation of Rights of Shares Article and the Appointment hereof and Removal of Directors Article) with the exception that the holder of a Class B Share shall have the Conversion Rights referred to in this Article.

17.2	Class B Shares shall automatically convert into Class A Shares on a one-for-one basis (the “ Initial Conversion Ratio ”): concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of a Business Combination.

17.3

Notwithstanding the Initial Conversion Ratio, in the case that additional Class A Shares or any other Equity-linked Securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts issued in the IPO (including pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option) and related to or in connection with the closing of a Business Combination, all Class B Shares in issue shall automatically convert into Class A Shares at the time of the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio for which the Class B Shares shall convert into Class A Shares will be adjusted so that the number of Class A Shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B Shares will equal, in the aggregate, 20 per cent of the sum of: (a) the total number of all Class A Shares in issue upon completion of the IPO (including any Class A Shares issued pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option and excluding any Class A Shares underlying the private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor); plus (b) all

H-11

Table of Contents

Class A Shares and Equity-linked Securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination, excluding any Shares or Equity-linked Securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination, any private placement-equivalent warrants issued to the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or to the Company’s officers and directors upon the conversion of working capital loans made to the Company; minus (c) the number of Public Shares redeemed in connection with a Business Combination, provided that such conversion of Class B Shares into Class A Shares shall never be less than the Initial Conversion Ratio.

17.4

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the foregoing adjustment to the Initial Conversion Ratio may be waived as to any particular issuance or deemed issuance of additional Class A Shares or Equity-linked Securities by the written consent or agreement of holders of a majority of the Class B Shares then in issue consenting or agreeing separately as a separate class in the manner provided in the Variation of Rights of Shares Article hereof.

17.5

The foregoing conversion ratio shall also be adjusted to account for any subdivision (by share split, subdivision, exchange, capitalisation, rights issue, reclassification, recapitalisation or otherwise) or combination (by reverse share split, share consolidation, exchange, reclassification, recapitalisation or otherwise) or similar reclassification or recapitalisation of the Class A Shares in issue into a greater or lesser number of shares occurring after the original filing of the Articles without a proportionate and corresponding subdivision, combination or similar reclassification or recapitalisation of the Class B Shares in issue.

17.6

Each Class B Share shall convert into its pro rata number of Class A Shares pursuant to this Article. The pro rata share for each holder of Class B Shares will be determined as follows: each Class B Share shall convert into such number of Class A Shares as is equal to the product of 1 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of Class A Shares into which all of the Class B Shares in issue shall be converted pursuant to this Article and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Class B Shares in issue at the time of conversion.

17.7

References in this Article to “

converted

”, “

conversion

” or “

exchange

” shall mean the compulsory redemption without notice of Class B Shares of any Member and, on behalf of such Members, automatic application of such redemption proceeds in paying for such new Class A Shares into which the Class B Shares have been converted or exchanged at a price per Class B Share necessary to give effect to a conversion or exchange calculated on the basis that the Class A Shares to be issued as part of the conversion or exchange will be issued at par. The Class A Shares to be issued on an exchange or conversion shall be registered in the name of such Member or in such name as the Member may direct.

18	Amendments of Memorandum and Articles of Association and Alteration of Capital

18.1	The Company may by Ordinary Resolution:

(a)

increase its share capital by such sum as the Ordinary Resolution shall prescribe and with such rights, priorities and privileges annexed thereto, as the Company in general meeting may determine;

35.5

A general notice that a Director is a shareholder, director, officer or employee of any specified firm or company and is to be regarded as interested in any transaction with such firm or company shall be sufficient disclosure for the purposes of voting on a resolution in respect of a contract or transaction in which he has an interest, and after such general notice it shall not be necessary to give special notice relating to any particular transaction.

39.2

The Directors may by resolution approve additional remuneration to any Director for any services which in the opinion of the Directors go beyond his ordinary routine work as a Director.

Seal

40.1

The Company may, if the Directors so determine, have a Seal. The Seal shall only be used by the authority of the Directors or of a committee of the Directors authorised by the Directors.

No Dividend or other distribution shall be paid except out of the realised or unrealised profits of the Company, out of the share premium account or as otherwise permitted by law.

H-26

Table of Contents

41.2

Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any Shares, all Dividends and other distributions shall be paid according to the par value of the Shares that a Member holds. If any Share is issued on terms providing that it shall rank for Dividend as from a particular date, that Share shall rank for Dividend accordingly.

41.3	The Directors may deduct from any Dividend or other distribution payable to any Member all sums of money (if any) then payable by him to the Company on account of calls or otherwise.

41.4

The Directors may resolve that any Dividend or other distribution be paid wholly or partly by the distribution of specific assets and in particular (but without limitation) by the distribution of shares, debentures, or securities of any other company or in any one or more of such ways and where any difficulty arises in regard to such distribution, the Directors may settle the same as they think expedient and in particular may issue fractional Shares and may fix the value for distribution of such specific assets or any part thereof and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any Members upon the basis of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of all Members and may vest any such specific assets in trustees in such manner as may seem expedient to the Directors.

41.5	Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any Shares, Dividends and other distributions may be paid in any currency. The Directors may determine the basis of conversion for any currency conversions that may be required and how any costs involved are to be met.

41.6

The Directors may, before resolving to pay any Dividend or other distribution, set aside such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall, at the discretion of the Directors, be applicable for any purpose of the Company and pending such application may, at the discretion of the Directors, be employed in the business of the Company.

41.7

Any Dividend, other distribution, interest or other monies payable in cash in respect of Shares may be paid by wire transfer to the holder or by cheque or warrant sent through the post directed to the registered address of the holder or, in the case of joint holders, to the registered address of the holder who is first named on the Register of Members or to such person and to such address as such holder or joint holders may in writing direct. Every such cheque or warrant shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent. Any one of two or more joint holders may give effectual receipts for any Dividends, other distributions, bonuses, or other monies payable in respect of the Share held by them as joint holders.

41.8	No Dividend or other distribution shall bear interest against the Company.

41.9

Any Dividend or other distribution which cannot be paid to a Member and/or which remains unclaimed after six months from the date on which such Dividend or other distribution becomes payable may, in the discretion of the Directors, be paid into a separate account in the Company’s name, provided that the Company shall not be constituted as a trustee in respect of that account and the Dividend or other distribution shall remain as a debt due to the Member. Any Dividend or other distribution which remains unclaimed after a period of six years from the date on which such Dividend or other distribution becomes payable shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company.

42	Capitalisation

The Directors may at any time capitalise any sum standing to the credit of any of the Company’s reserve accounts or funds (including the share premium account and capital redemption reserve fund) or any sum standing to the credit of the profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution; appropriate such sum to Members in the proportions in which such sum would have been divisible amongst such Members had the same been a distribution of profits by way of Dividend or other distribution; and apply such sum on their behalf in paying up in full unissued Shares for allotment and distribution credited as

fully paid-up to

and amongst them in the proportion aforesaid. In such event the Directors shall do all acts and things required to give effect to such capitalisation, with full power given to the Directors to make such provisions as they think fit in the case of Shares becoming distributable in fractions (including provisions whereby the

H-27

Table of Contents

benefit of fractional entitlements accrue to the Company rather than to the Members concerned). The Directors may authorise any person to enter on behalf of all of the Members interested into an agreement with the Company providing for such capitalisation and matters incidental or relating thereto and any agreement made under such authority shall be effective and binding on all such Members and the Company.

43	Books of Account

43.1

The Directors shall cause proper books of account (including, where applicable, material underlying documentation including contracts and invoices) to be kept with respect to all sums of money received and expended by the Company and the matters in respect of which the receipt or expenditure takes place, all sales and purchases of goods by the Company and the assets and liabilities of the Company. Such books of account must be retained for a minimum period of five years from the date on which they are prepared. Proper books shall not be deemed to be kept if there are not kept such books of account as are necessary to give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s affairs and to explain its transactions.

43.2

The Directors shall determine whether and to what extent and at what times and places and under what conditions or regulations the accounts and books of the Company or any of them shall be open to the inspection of Members not being Directors and no Member (not being a Director) shall have any right of inspecting any account or book or document of the Company except as conferred by Statute or authorised by the Directors or by the Company in general meeting.

44.2

Without prejudice to the freedom of the Directors to establish any other committee, if the Shares (or depositary receipts therefor) are listed or quoted on the Designated Stock Exchange, and if required by the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law, the Directors shall establish and maintain an Audit Committee as a committee of the Directors and shall adopt a formal written Audit Committee charter and review and assess the adequacy of the formal written charter on an annual basis. The composition and responsibilities of the Audit Committee shall comply with the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law. The Audit Committee shall meet at least once every financial quarter, or more frequently as circumstances dictate.

44.3

If the Shares (or depositary receipts therefor) are listed or quoted on the Designated Stock Exchange, the Company shall conduct an appropriate review of all related party transactions on an ongoing basis and shall utilise the Audit Committee for the review and approval of potential conflicts of interest.

44.4	The remuneration of the Auditor shall be fixed by the Audit Committee (if one exists).

44.5	If the office of Auditor becomes vacant by resignation or death of the Auditor, or by his becoming incapable of acting by reason of illness or other disability at a time when his services are required, the Directors shall fill the vacancy and determine the remuneration of such Auditor.

44.6	Every Auditor of the Company shall have a right of access at all times to the books and accounts and vouchers of the Company and shall be entitled to require from the Directors and Officers such information and explanation as may be necessary for the performance of the duties of the Auditor.

46	Winding Up

46.1	If the Company shall be wound up, the liquidator shall apply the assets of the Company in satisfaction of creditors’ claims in such manner and order as such liquidator thinks fit. Subject to the rights attaching to any Shares, in a winding up:

(a)

if the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be insufficient to repay the whole of the Company’s issued share capital, such assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses shall be borne by the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them; or

(b)

if the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the Company’s issued share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus shall be distributed amongst the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up subject to a deduction from those Shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to the Company for unpaid calls or otherwise.

46.2

If the Company shall be wound up the liquidator may, subject to the rights attaching to any Shares and with the approval of a Special Resolution of the Company and any other approval required by the Statute, divide amongst the Members in kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether such assets shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may for that purpose value any assets and determine how the division shall be carried out as between the Members or different classes of Members. The liquidator may, with the like approval, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the Members as the liquidator, with the like approval, shall think fit, but so that no Member shall be compelled to accept any asset upon which there is a liability.

47	Indemnity and Insurance

47.1

Every Director and Officer (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include auditors of the Company), together with every former Director and former Officer (each an “

Indemnified Person

”) shall be indemnified out of the assets of the Company against any liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages or expenses, including legal expenses, whatsoever which they or any of them may incur as a result of any act or failure to act in carrying out their functions other than such liability (if any) that they may incur by reason of their own actual fraud, wilful neglect or wilful default. No Indemnified Person shall be liable to the Company for any loss or damage incurred by the Company as a result (whether direct or indirect) of the carrying out of their functions unless that liability arises through the actual fraud, wilful neglect or wilful default of such Indemnified Person. No person shall be found to have committed actual fraud, wilful neglect or wilful default under this Article unless or until a court of competent jurisdiction shall have made a finding to that effect.

47.2

The Company shall advance to each Indemnified Person reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defence of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving such Indemnified Person for which indemnity will or could be sought. In connection with any advance of any expenses hereunder, the Indemnified Person shall execute an undertaking to repay the advanced amount to the Company if it shall be determined by final judgment or other final adjudication that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article. If it shall be determined by a final judgment or other final adjudication that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification with respect to such judgment, costs or expenses, then such party shall not be indemnified with respect to such judgment, costs or expenses and any advancement shall be returned to the Company (without interest) by the Indemnified Person.

47.3

The Directors, on behalf of the Company, may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any Director or other Officer against any liability which, by virtue of any rule of law, would otherwise attach to such person in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which such person may be guilty in relation to the Company.

price payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of such Business Combination, including interest earned on the Trust Account ((net of taxes paid or payable, if any), divided by the number of then issued Public Shares, provided that the Company shall not repurchase Public Shares in an amount that would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than US$5,000,001.

51.3

If the Company initiates any tender offer in accordance with

Rule 13e-4 and

Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act in connection with a Business Combination, it shall file tender offer documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to completing such Business Combination which contain substantially the same financial and other information about such Business Combination and the redemption rights as is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act. If, alternatively, the Company holds general meeting to approve a Business Combination, the Company will conduct any redemptions in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, and not pursuant to the tender offer rules, and file proxy materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

51.4	At a general meeting called for the purposes of approving a Business Combination pursuant to this Article, in the event that such Business Combination is approved by Ordinary Resolution, the Company shall be authorised to consummate such Business Combination.

51.5

Any Member holding Public Shares who is not the Sponsor, a Founder, Officer or Director may, in connection with any vote on a Business Combination, elect to have their Public Shares redeemed for cash (the “

IPO Redemption

”), provided that no such Member acting together with any Affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate, or other group for the purposes of acquiring, holding, or disposing of Shares may exercise this redemption right with

H-31

Table of Contents

respect to more than 20 per cent of the Public Shares in the aggregate without the prior consent of the Company. If so demanded, the Company shall pay any such redeeming Member, regardless of whether he is voting for or against such proposed Business Combination,

a per-Share redemption

price payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then issued Public Shares (such redemption price being referred to herein as the “

Redemption Price

”). The Company shall not redeem Public Shares in an amount that would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than US$5,000,001 (the “

Redemption Limitation

”).

51.6	A Member may not withdraw a Redemption Notice once submitted to the Company unless the Directors determine (in their sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which they may do in whole or in part).

51.7

In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination by 24 months from the consummation of the IPO, or such later time as the Members may approve in accordance with the Articles, the Company shall: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at

a per-Share price,

payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company (less taxes payable and up to US$100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then Public Shares in issue, which redemption will completely extinguish public Members’ rights as Members (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining Members and the Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of (ii) and (iii) above to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of Applicable Law.

51.8

In the event that any amendment is made to this Article (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100 per cent of the Public Shares if the Company has not consummated a Business Combination within 24 months from the consummation of the IPO, or such later time as the Members may approve in accordance with the Articles or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights

or pre-initial Business

Combination activity, each holder of Public Shares who is not the Sponsor, a Founder, Officer or Director shall be provided with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon the approval of any such amendment at

a per-Share price,

payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares. The Company’s ability to provide such redemption in this Article is subject to the Redemption Limitation.

51.9

A holder of Public Shares shall be entitled to receive distributions from the Trust Account only in the event of an IPO Redemption, a repurchase of Shares by means of a tender offer pursuant to this Article, or a distribution of the Trust Account pursuant to this Article. In no other circumstance shall a holder of Public Shares have any right or interest of any kind in the Trust Account.

51.10

After the issue of Public Shares, and prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, the Directors shall not issue additional Shares or any other securities that would entitle the holders thereof to (i) receive funds from the Trust Account or (ii) vote as a class with Public Shares on a Business Combination.

51.11

A Director may vote in respect of a Business Combination in which such Director has a conflict of interest with respect to the evaluation of such Business Combination. Such Director must disclose such interest or conflict to the other Directors.

51.12

The Company shall not enter into an initial Business Combination with another blank cheque company or a similar company with nominal operations.

52	Certain Tax Filings

Each Tax Filing Authorised Person and any such other person, acting alone, as any Director shall designate from time to time, are authorised to file tax

forms SS-4, W-8 BEN, W-8 IMY, W-9, 8832

and 2553 and such other similar tax forms as are customary to file with any US state or federal governmental authorities or foreign governmental authorities in connection with the formation, activities and/or elections of the Company and such other tax forms as may be approved from time to time by any Director or Officer. The Company further ratifies and approves any such filing made by any Tax Filing Authorised Person or such other person prior to the date of the Articles.

53	Business Opportunities

53.1

To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, no individual serving as a Director or an Officer (“

Management

”) shall have any duty, except and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Company renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for Management, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other. Except to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Management shall have no duty to communicate or offer any such corporate opportunity to the Company and shall not be liable to the Company or its Members for breach of any fiduciary duty as a Member, Director and/or Officer solely by reason of the fact that such party pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, himself or herself, directs such corporate opportunity to another person, or does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company.

53.2

To the extent a court might hold that the conduct of any activity related to a corporate opportunity that is renounced in this Article to be a breach of duty to the Company or its Members, the Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any and all claims and causes of action that the Company may have for such activities. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the provisions of this Article apply equally to activities conducted in the future and that have been conducted in the past.

53.3

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article, such renouncement shall not apply to any business opportunity that is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a Director or Officer of the Company and it is an opportunity the Company is able to complete on a reasonable basis.

DGCL

”). In the absence of any such designation or determination, stockholders’ meetings shall be held at the Corporation’s principal executive office.

(i) At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be (i) specified in a notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (ii) if not specified in a notice of meeting, otherwise brought before the meeting by the Board of Directors or the Chairperson of the Board or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder present in person who (A) (1) was a record owner of shares of the Corporation both at the time of giving the notice provided for in this Section 2.4 and at the time of the meeting, (2) is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (3) has complied with this Section 2.4 in all applicable respects or (B) properly made such proposal in accordance with

”). The foregoing clause (iii) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to propose business to be brought before an annual meeting of the stockholders. For purposes of this Section 2.4, “present in person” shall mean that the stockholder proposing that the business be brought before the annual meeting of the Corporation, or a qualified representative of such proposing stockholder, appear at such annual meeting. A “qualified representative” of such proposing stockholder shall be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or any other person authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders.

To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the

one-year

anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting (which, in the case of the first annual meeting of stockholders following the Effective Time (as defined in the Corporation’s Certification of Incorporation), the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting shall be deemed to be [●], 2021); provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered, or mailed and received, not later than the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or, if later, the 10th day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was first made by the Corporation (such notice within such time periods, “

Timely Notice

”). In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of Timely Notice as described above.

(iii) To be in proper form for purposes of this Section 2.4, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth:

(a) As to each Proposing Person (as defined below), (1) the name and address of such Proposing Person (including, if applicable, the name and address that appear on the Corporation’s books and records); and (2) the class or series and number of shares of the Corporation that are, directly or indirectly, owned of record or beneficially owned (within the meaning of Rule

13d-3

under the Exchange Act) by such Proposing Person, except that such Proposing Person shall in all events be deemed to beneficially own any shares of any class or series of the Corporation as to which such Proposing Person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time in the future (the disclosures to be made pursuant to the foregoing clauses (1) and (2) are referred to as “

Stockholder Information

”);

(b) As to each Proposing Person, (1) the full notional amount of any securities that, directly or indirectly, underlie any “derivative security” (as such term is defined in Rule

16a-1(c)

under the Exchange Act) that constitutes a “call equivalent position” (as such term is defined in Rule

16a-1(b)

under the Exchange Act) (“

Synthetic Equity Position

”) and that is, directly or indirectly, held or maintained by such Proposing Person with respect to any shares of any class or series of shares of the Corporation; provided that, for the purposes of the definition of “Synthetic Equity Position,” the term “derivative security” shall also include any security or instrument that would not otherwise constitute a “derivative security” as a result of any feature that would make any conversion, exercise or similar right or privilege of such security or instrument becoming determinable only at some future date or upon the happening of a future occurrence, in which case the determination of the amount of securities into which such security or instrument would be convertible or exercisable shall be made assuming that such security or instrument is immediately convertible or exercisable at the time of such determination;

I-2

Table of Contents

and, provided, further, that any Proposing Person satisfying the requirements of Rule

13d-1(b)(1)

under the Exchange Act (other than a Proposing Person that so satisfies Rule

13d-1(b)(1)

under the Exchange Act solely by reason of Rule

13d-1(b)(1)(ii)(E))

shall not be deemed to hold or maintain the notional amount of any securities that underlie a Synthetic Equity Position held by such Proposing Person as a hedge with respect to a bona fide derivatives trade or position of such Proposing Person arising in the ordinary course of such Proposing Person’s business as a derivatives dealer, (2) any rights to dividends on the shares of any class or series of shares of the Corporation owned beneficially by such Proposing Person that are separated or separable from the underlying shares of the Corporation, (3) any material pending or threatened legal proceeding in which such Proposing Person is a party or material participant involving the Corporation or any of its officers or directors, or any affiliate of the Corporation, (4) any other material relationship between such Proposing Person, on the one hand, and the Corporation, any affiliate of the Corporation, on the other hand, (5) any direct or indirect material interest in any material contract or agreement of such Proposing Person with the Corporation or any affiliate of the Corporation (including, in any such case, any employment agreement, collective bargaining agreement or consulting agreement), (6) a representation that such Proposing Person intends or is part of a group which intends to deliver a proxy statement or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock required to approve or adopt the proposal or otherwise solicit proxies from stockholders in support of such proposal and (7) any other information relating to such Proposing Person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies or consents by such Proposing Person in support of the business proposed to be brought before the meeting pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act (the disclosures to be made pursuant to the foregoing clauses (1) through (7) are referred to as “

Disclosable Interests

”); provided, however, that Disclosable Interests shall not include any such disclosures with respect to the ordinary course business activities of any broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee who is a Proposing Person solely as a result of being the stockholder directed to prepare and submit the notice required by these Bylaws on behalf of a beneficial owner; and

(c) As to each item of business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting, (1) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting and any material interest in such business of each Proposing Person, (2) the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the bylaws of the Corporation, the language of the proposed amendment), and (3) a reasonably detailed description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings (x) between or among any of the Proposing Persons or (y) between or among any Proposing Person and any other record or beneficial holder(s) or persons(s) who have a right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time in the future of the shares of any class or series of the Corporation or any other person or entity (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder; and (4) any other information relating to such item of business that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies in support of the business proposed to be brought before the meeting pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act; provided, however, that the disclosures required by this paragraph (iii) shall not include any disclosures with respect to any broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee who is a Proposing Person solely as a result of being the stockholder directed to prepare and submit the notice required by these Bylaws on behalf of a beneficial owner.

For purposes of this Section 2.4, the term “

Proposing Person

” shall mean (i) the stockholder providing the notice of business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting, (ii) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different, on whose behalf the notice of the business proposed to be brought before the annual meeting

I-3

Table of Contents

is made, and (iii) any participant (as defined in paragraphs (a)(ii)-(vi) of Instruction 3 to Item 4 of Schedule 14A) with such stockholder in such solicitation.

(iv) A Proposing Person shall update and supplement its notice to the Corporation of its intent to propose business at an annual meeting, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be true and correct as of the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and as of the date that is 10 business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five business days after the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of such record date), and not later than eight business days prior to the date for the meeting or, if practicable, any adjournment or postponement thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the meeting has been adjourned or postponed) (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of 10 business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any other Section of these Bylaws shall not limit the Corporation’s rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided by a stockholder, extend any applicable deadlines hereunder or enable or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has previously submitted notice hereunder to amend or update any proposal or to submit any new proposal, including by changing or adding matters, business or resolutions proposed to be brought before a meeting of the stockholders.

(v) Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at an annual meeting that is not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with this Section 2.4. The presiding officer of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine that the business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with this Section 2.4, and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

(vi) This Section 2.4 is expressly intended to apply to any business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders other than any proposal made in accordance with Rule

14a-8

under the Exchange Act and included in the Corporation’s proxy statement. In addition to the requirements of this Section 2.4 with respect to any business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting, each Proposing Person shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act with respect to any such business. Nothing in this Section 2.4 shall be deemed to affect the rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to

Rule 14a-8

under the Exchange Act.

(vii) For purposes of these Bylaws, “public disclosure” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by a national news service, in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or by such other means as is reasonably designed to inform the public or securityholders of the Corporation in general of such information including, without limitation, posting on the Corporation’s investor relations website.

2.5

(i) Subject in all respects to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, nominations of any person for election to the Board of Directors at an annual meeting or at a special meeting (but only if the election of directors is a matter specified in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the person calling such special meeting) may be made at such meeting only (x) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, including by any committee or persons authorized to do so by the Board of Directors or these bylaws, or (y) by a stockholder present in person (A) who was a record owner of shares of the Corporation both at the time of giving the notice provided for in this Section 2.5 and at the time of the meeting, (B) is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (C) has complied with this Section 2.5 and Section 2.6 as to such notice and nomination. For purposes of this Section 2.5, “present in person” shall mean that the stockholder proposing that the business be brought before the meeting of the Corporation, or a qualified representative of such stockholder, appear at such meeting. A “qualified representative” of such proposing stockholder

For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any other Section of these Bylaws shall not limit the Corporation’s rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided by a stockholder, extend any applicable deadlines hereunder or enable or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has previously submitted notice hereunder to amend or update any nomination or to submit any new nomination.

(iii) A candidate for nomination as a director shall further update and supplement the materials delivered pursuant to this Section 2.6, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be true and correct as of the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and as of the date that is 10 business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation (or any other office specified by the Corporation in any public announcement) not later than five business days after the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of such record date), and not later than eight business days prior to the date for the meeting or, if practicable, any adjournment or postponement thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the meeting has been adjourned or postponed) (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of 10 business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof).

’

Meetings

Unless otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be sent or otherwise given in accordance with Section 8.1 of these bylaws not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. The notice shall specify the place, if any, date and time of the meeting, the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.

2.8

Quorum

Unless otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the holders of a majority in voting power of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person, or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the stockholders. A quorum, once established at a meeting, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum. If, however, a quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then either (i) the person presiding over the meeting or (ii) a majority in voting power of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person, or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, shall have power to recess the meeting or adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided in Section 2.9 of these bylaws until a quorum is present or represented. At any recessed or adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed.

2.9

Adjourned Meeting; Notice

When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, unless these bylaws otherwise require, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At any adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board shall fix as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date so fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

2.10

Conduct of Business

The date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting by the person presiding over the meeting. The Board may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board, the person presiding over any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to convene and (for any or no reason) to recess and/or adjourn the meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures (which need not be in writing) and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such presiding person, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board or prescribed by the person presiding over the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of

I-8

Table of Contents

an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present (including, without limitation, rules and procedures for removal of disruptive persons from the meeting); (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the person presiding over the meeting shall determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. The presiding person at any meeting of stockholders, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the meeting (including, without limitation, determinations with respect to the administration and/or interpretation of any of the rules, regulations or procedures of the meeting, whether adopted by the Board or prescribed by the person presiding over the meeting), shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a matter of business was not properly brought before the meeting and if such presiding person should so determine, such presiding person shall so declare to the meeting and any such matter or business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted or considered. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board or the person presiding over the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

2.11

Voting

Except as may be otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, these bylaws or the DGCL, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder.

Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, at all duly called or convened meetings of stockholders at which a quorum is present, for the election of directors, a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect a director. Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, these bylaws, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, or applicable law or pursuant to any regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities, each other matter presented to the stockholders at a duly called or convened meeting at which a quorum is present shall be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast (excluding abstentions and broker

non-votes)

on such matter.

2.12

Record Date for Stockholder Meetings and Other Purposes

In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than 60 days nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting. If the Board so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be the close of business on the next day preceding the day on which notice is first given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting; and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance herewith at the adjourned meeting.

In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment or any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of capital stock, or for the purposes of any other lawful action, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the

I-9

Table of Contents

record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

2.13

Proxies

Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy authorized by an instrument in writing or by a transmission permitted by law filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL. A proxy may be in the form of an electronic transmission that sets forth or is submitted with information from which it can be determined that the transmission was authorized by the stockholder.

2.14

List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote

The Corporation shall prepare, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (provided, however, that if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than 10 days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. The Corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the Corporation’s principal executive office. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Such list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them. Except as otherwise provided by law, the stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list of stockholders required by this Section 2.14 or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

2.15

Inspectors of Election

Before any meeting of stockholders, the Corporation shall appoint an inspector or inspectors of election to act at the meeting or its adjournment and make a written report thereof. The Corporation may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If any person appointed as inspector or any alternate fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, then the person presiding over the meeting shall appoint a person to fill that vacancy.

Such inspectors shall:

(i) determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the number of shares represented at the meeting and the validity of any proxies and ballots;

(ii) count all votes or ballots;

(iii) count and tabulate all votes;

I-10

Table of Contents

(iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspector(s); and

(v) certify its or their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and its or their count of all votes and ballots.

Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of the duties of inspector, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspection with strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspector’s ability. Any report or certificate made by the inspectors of election is prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. The inspectors of election may appoint such persons to assist them in performing their duties as they determine.

2.16

Delivery to the Corporation

Whenever this Article II requires one or more persons (including a record or beneficial owner of stock) to deliver a document or information to the Corporation or any officer, employee or agent thereof (including any notice, request, questionnaire, revocation, representation or other document or agreement), such document or information shall be in writing exclusively (and not in an electronic transmission) and shall be delivered exclusively by hand (including, without limitation, overnight courier service) or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and the Corporation shall not be required to accept delivery of any document not in such written form or so delivered.

Resignation and Vacancies

Any director may resign at any time upon notice given in writing or by electronic transmission to the Corporation. The resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein or upon the happening of an event specified therein, and if no time or event is specified, at the time of its receipt. When one or more directors so resigns and the resignation is effective at a future date or upon the happening of an event to occur on a future

I-11

Table of Contents

date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective, and each director so chosen shall hold office as provided in Section 3.3.

Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, vacancies resulting from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of any director, and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors shall be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.

Board Action without a Meeting

Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board, or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission. After an action is taken, the consent or consents relating thereto shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board, or the committee thereof, in the same paper or electronic form as the minutes are maintained. Such action by written consent or consent by electronic transmission shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote of the Board.

In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board or in these bylaws, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers that may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority to (i) approve or adopt, or recommend to the stockholders, any action or matter expressly required by the DGCL to be submitted to stockholders for approval, or (ii) adopt, amend or repeal any bylaw of the Corporation.

Article VII—General Matters

7.1

Execution of Corporate Contracts and Instruments

The Board, except as otherwise provided in these bylaws, may authorize any officer or officers, or agent or agents, to enter into any contract or execute any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the Corporation; such authority may be general or confined to specific instances.

7.2

Stock Certificates

The shares of the Corporation shall be represented by certificates, provided that the Board by resolution may provide that some or all of the shares of any class or series of stock of the Corporation shall be uncertificated. Certificates for the shares of stock, if any, shall be in such form as is consistent with the Certificate of Incorporation and applicable law. Every holder of stock represented by a certificate shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of the Corporation by, any two officers authorized to sign stock certificates representing the number of shares registered in certificate form. The Chairperson or Vice Chairperson of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Treasurer, any Assistant Treasurer, the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Corporation shall be specifically authorized to sign stock certificates. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate has ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he or she were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

The Corporation may issue the whole or any part of its shares as partly paid and subject to call for the remainder of the consideration to be paid therefor. Upon the face or back of each stock certificate issued to represent any such partly paid shares, or upon the books and records of the Corporation in the case of uncertificated partly paid shares, the total amount of the consideration to be paid therefor and the amount paid thereon shall be stated. Upon the declaration of any dividend on fully paid shares, the Corporation shall declare a dividend upon partly paid shares of the same class, but only upon the basis of the percentage of the consideration actually paid thereon.

7.3

Special Designation of Certificates

If the Corporation is authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class, then the powers, the designations, the preferences and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or summarized on the face or on the back of the certificate that the Corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock (or, in the case of uncertificated shares, set forth in a notice provided pursuant to Section 151 of the DGCL); provided, however, that except as otherwise provided in Section 202 of the DGCL, in lieu of the foregoing requirements, there may be set forth on the face of back of the certificate that the Corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock (or, in the case of any uncertificated shares, included in the aforementioned notice) a statement that the Corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, the designations, the preferences and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.

7.4

Lost Certificates

Except as provided in this Section 7.4, no new certificates for shares shall be issued to replace a previously issued certificate unless the latter is surrendered to the Corporation and cancelled at the same time. The Corporation may issue a new certificate of stock or uncertificated shares in the place of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and the Corporation may require the owner of the lost,

I-16

Table of Contents

stolen or destroyed certificate, or such owner’s legal representative, to give the Corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares.

7.5

Shares Without Certificates

The Corporation may adopt a system of issuance, recordation and transfer of its shares of stock by electronic or other means not involving the issuance of certificates, provided the use of such system by the Corporation is permitted in accordance with applicable law.

7.6

The Board, subject to any restrictions contained in either (i) the DGCL or (ii) the Certificate of Incorporation, may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of its capital stock. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property or in shares of the Corporation’s capital stock.

The Board may set apart out of any of the funds of the Corporation available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose and may abolish any such reserve. Such purposes shall include but not be limited to equalizing dividends, repairing or maintaining any property of the Corporation, and meeting contingencies.

7.8

Fiscal Year

The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be fixed by resolution of the Board and may be changed by the Board.

Shares of stock of the Corporation shall be transferred on the books of the Corporation only by the holder of record thereof or by such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender to the Corporation of the certificate or certificates representing such shares endorsed by the appropriate person or persons (or by delivery of duly executed instructions with respect to uncertificated shares), with such evidence of the authenticity of such endorsement or execution, transfer, authorization and other matters as the Corporation may reasonably require, and accompanied by all necessary stock transfer stamps. No transfer of stock shall be valid as against the Corporation for any purpose until it shall have been entered in the stock records of the Corporation by an entry showing the names of the persons from and to whom it was transferred.

7.11

7.12

Registered Stockholders

7.13

Waiver of Notice

Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, a written waiver, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws.

Article VIII—Notice

8.1

Delivery of Notice; Notice by Electronic Transmission

Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provisions of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these bylaws may be given in writing directed to the stockholder’s mailing address (or by electronic transmission directed to the stockholder’s electronic mail address, as applicable) as it appears on the records of the Corporation and shall be given (1) if mailed, when the notice is deposited in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, (2) if delivered by courier service, the earlier of when the notice is received or left at such stockholder’s address or (3) if given by electronic mail, when directed to such stockholder’s electronic mail address unless the stockholder has notified the Corporation in writing or by electronic transmission of an objection to receiving notice by electronic mail. A notice by electronic mail must include a prominent legend that the communication is an important notice regarding the Corporation.

Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice or electronic transmission to the Corporation. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, the Corporation may give a notice by electronic mail in accordance with the first paragraph of this section without obtaining the consent required by this paragraph.

I-18

Table of Contents

Any notice given pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall be deemed given:

(i) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice;

(ii) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and

(iii) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a notice may not be given by an electronic transmission from and after the time that (1) the Corporation is unable to deliver by such electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation and (2) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice, provided, however, the inadvertent failure to discover such inability shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

Article IX—Indemnification

9.1

Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings other than Those by or in the Right of the Corporation

Subject to Section 9.3, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful.

9.2

Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation

Subject to Section 9.3, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been

I-19

Table of Contents

adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

9.3

Authorization of Indemnification

Any indemnification under this Article IX (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director or officer is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 9.1 or Section 9.2, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (i) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (iv) by the stockholders. Such determination shall be made, with respect to former directors and officers, by any person or persons having the authority to act on the matter on behalf of the Corporation. To the extent, however, that a present or former director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.

9.4

Good Faith Defined

For purposes of any determination under Section 9.3, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful, if such person’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to such person by the officers of the Corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation or another enterprise. The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 9.1 or 9.2, as the case may be.

9.5

Indemnification by a Court

Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 9.3, and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any director or officer may apply to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under Section 9.1 or 9.2. The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 9.1 or Section 9.2, as the case may be. Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 9.3 nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the director or officer seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this Article IX shall be given to the Corporation promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in whole or in part, the director or officer seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.

I-20

Table of Contents

9.6

Expenses Payable in Advance

Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a director or officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article IX. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Corporation deems appropriate.

9.7

Nonexclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses

The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article IX shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the Certificate of Incorporation, these

By-Laws,

agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the Corporation that indemnification of the persons specified in Section 9.1 or 9.2 shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Article IX shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the DGCL, or otherwise.

9.8

Insurance

The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article IX.

9.9

Certain Definitions

For purposes of this Article IX, references to “the Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors or officers, so that any person who is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation, or is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article IX with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. The term “another enterprise” as used in this Article IX shall mean any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which such person is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent. For purposes of this Article IX, references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director or officer with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this Article IX.

Limitation on Indemnification

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article IX to the contrary, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification (which shall be governed by Section 9.5), the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any director or officer (or his or her heirs, executors or personal or legal representatives) or advance expenses in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

Notwithstanding that a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation (collectively, the “

Covered Persons

”) may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by other persons (collectively, the “

Other Indemnitors

”), with respect to the rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance set forth herein, the Corporation: (i) shall be the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to Covered Persons are primary and any obligation of the Other Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by Covered Persons are secondary); and (ii) shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by Covered Persons and shall be liable for the full amount of all liabilities, without regard to any rights Covered Persons may have against any of the Other Indemnitors. No advancement or payment by the Other Indemnitors on behalf of Covered Persons with respect to any claim for which Covered Persons have sought indemnification from the Corporation shall affect the immediately preceding sentence, and the Other Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of Covered Persons against the Corporation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the obligations of the Corporation under this Section 9.13 shall only apply to Covered Persons in their capacity as Covered Persons.

9.14

Repeal or Modification

Any repeal or modification of this Article IX by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses of the Covered Persons existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to any acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

Article X—Amendments

The Board is expressly empowered to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation. The stockholders also shall have power to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation; provided, however, that such action by stockholders shall require, in addition to any other vote required by the Certificate of Incorporation or applicable law, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least

Subject to the special rights of the holders of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, the Board of Directors or any individual director may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of voting stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at an election of directors.

D. Subject to the special rights of the holders of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, except as otherwise provided by law, any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, retirement, removal or other causes and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors shall be filled exclusively by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director (other than any directors elected by the separate vote of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock), and shall not be filled by the stockholders. Any director appointed in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office until the expiration of the term of the class to which such director shall have been appointed or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, or removal.

E. Whenever the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation shall have the right, voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more such other series, to elect directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, removal and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate

two-thirds

of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of voting stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in an election of directors.

6.	Assumed that the final versions of all documents reviewed by Duff & Phelps in draft form conform in all material respects to the drafts reviewed;

Assumed that there has been no material change in the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, or prospects of the Company or the Target since the date of the most recent financial statements and other information made available to Duff & Phelps, and that there is no information or facts that would make the information reviewed by Duff & Phelps incomplete or misleading;

To the extent that any of the foregoing assumptions or any of the facts on which this Opinion is based prove to be untrue in any material respect, this Opinion cannot and should not be relied upon. Furthermore, in Duff & Phelps’ analysis and in connection with the preparation of this Opinion, Duff & Phelps has made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, market and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of any party involved in the Proposed Transaction.

Duff & Phelps did not evaluate the Company’s or the Target’s solvency or conduct an independent appraisal or physical inspection of any specific assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise). Duff & Phelps has not been requested to, and did not, (i) initiate any discussions with, or solicit any indications of interest from, third parties with respect to the Proposed Transaction, the assets, businesses or operations of the Company or the Target, or any alternatives to the Proposed Transaction, (ii) negotiate the terms of the Proposed Transaction, and therefore, Duff & Phelps has assumed that such terms are the most beneficial terms, from the Company’s perspective, that could, under the circumstances, be negotiated among the parties to the Merger Agreement and the Proposed Transaction, or (iii) advise the Board of Directors or any other party with respect to alternatives to the Proposed Transaction.

Duff & Phelps is not expressing any opinion as to the market price or value of the Company’s common stock or the Target’s common stock (or anything else) after the announcement or the consummation of the Proposed Transaction. This Opinion should not be construed as a valuation opinion, credit rating, solvency opinion, an analysis of the Company’s or the Target’s credit worthiness, as tax advice, or as accounting advice. Duff & Phelps has not made, and assumes no responsibility to make, any representation, or render any opinion, as to any legal matter.

In rendering this Opinion, Duff & Phelps is not expressing any opinion with respect to the amount or nature of any compensation to any of the Company’s or the Target’s officers, directors, or employees, or any class of such persons, relative to the consideration to be received by the public shareholders of the Company or the Target in the Proposed Transaction, or with respect to the fairness of any such compensation.

This Opinion is furnished solely for the use and benefit of the Board of Directors in connection with its consideration of the Proposed Transaction. This Opinion (i) does not address the merits of the underlying business decision to enter into the Proposed Transaction versus any alternative strategy or transaction; (ii) does not address any transaction related to the Proposed Transaction; (iii) is not a recommendation as to how the Board of Directors or any stockholder should vote or act with respect to any matters relating to the Proposed Transaction, or whether to proceed with the Proposed Transaction or any related transaction, and (iv) does not indicate that the consideration paid is the best possibly attainable under any circumstances; instead, it merely states whether the consideration in the Proposed Transaction is within a range suggested by certain financial analyses. The decision as to whether to proceed with the Proposed Transaction or any related transaction may depend on an assessment of factors unrelated to the financial analysis on which this Opinion is based. This letter should not be construed as creating any fiduciary duty on the part of Duff & Phelps to any party.

This Opinion is solely that of Duff & Phelps, and Duff & Phelps’ liability in connection with this letter shall be limited in accordance with the terms set forth in the engagement letter between Duff & Phelps and the Company dated February 18, 2021 (the “

Engagement Letter

”). This letter is confidential, and its use and disclosure is strictly limited in accordance with the terms set forth in the Engagement Letter.

Disclosure of Prior Relationships

Duff & Phelps has acted as financial advisor to the Board of Directors and will receive a fee for its services. No portion of Duff & Phelps’ fee is contingent upon either the conclusion expressed in this Opinion or whether or not the Proposed Transaction is successfully consummated. Pursuant to the terms of the Engagement Letter, a portion of Duff & Phelps’ fee is earned upon delivery by Duff & Phelps of the Opinion to the Board of Directors and payable upon consummation of the Company’s initial business combination with the Target. Other than this engagement, during the two years preceding the date of this Opinion, Duff & Phelps has not had any material relationship with any party to the Proposed Transaction for which compensation has been received or is intended to be received, nor is any such material relationship or related compensation mutually understood to be contemplated.

Conclusion

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, Duff & Phelps is of the opinion that as of the date hereof the consideration to be paid by the Company in the Proposed Transaction is fair from a financial point of view to the Company.

This Opinion has been approved by the Opinion Review Committee of Duff & Phelps.

clause

(i)

(ii)

. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth herein shall not apply to:

(1) in the case of an entity, Transfers (A) to the Stockholder Party’s affiliates (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended), or to any investment fund or other entity controlling, controlled by, managing or managed by or under common control with the undersigned or affiliates of the undersigned or who shares a common investment advisor with the undersigned, or (B) distributions to members, partners, stockholders or equityholders of the undersigned;;

Lock-up

Period;

(10) the exercise of any Acquiror Equity Interests to purchase Acquiror Common Shares (which exercises may be effected on a cashless basis to the extent the instruments representing such options or warrants permit exercises on a cashless basis) or the settlement of any Acquiror Equity Interests with Acquiror Common Shares;

(11) Transfers to the Company to satisfy tax withholding obligations pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans or arrangements;

(12) Transfers to Acquiror pursuant to any contractual arrangement in effect at the effective time of the Merger that provides for the repurchase by Acquiror or forfeiture of Acquiror Common Shares or Acquiror Equity Interests convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Acquiror Common Shares in connection with the termination of the Stockholder Party’s service to Acquiror; and

Code

”), or the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “

Regulations

”) after the date on which the Merger Agreement was executed by the parties, and such change prevents the Merger from qualifying as a “reorganization” pursuant to Section 368 of the Code (and the Merger does not qualify for similar

tax-free

treatment pursuant to any successor or other provision of the Code or Regulations taking into account such changes), in each case solely and to the extent necessary to cover any tax liability as a direct result of the transaction;

provided, in the case of clauses (1) through (7), where such transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement by executing and delivering the Form of Joinder Agreement set forth on

Exhibit B

Section 6.

Registration Rights

(a) The Company shall, within 30 (thirty) calendar days after the Closing (the “

Filing

Deadline

”), file with the Commission (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Subscribed Shares (the “

Registration Statement

”), and 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 60th calendar day (or 90th calendar day if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the earlier of (A) the filing of the Registration Statement and (B) Filing Deadline and (ii) the 10

Business Day after the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such date, the “

Effectiveness

Deadline

”); provided, however, that the Company’s obligations to include Subscriber’s Subscribed Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Company held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Subscribed Shares (which shall be limited to

non-underwritten

public offerings) and such other information as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Subscribed Shares, and Subscriber shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Company from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Subscribed Shares by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Subscribed Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Subscribed Shares as is permitted by the Commissioner. In such event, the number of Subscribed Shares to be registered for each selling shareholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders and as promptly as practicable after being permitted to register additional Subscribed Shares under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Company shall amend the Registration Statement or file a new Registration Statement to register such additional Subscribed Shares and cause such amendment or Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable. The Company agrees that, except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to remain effective with respect to Subscriber, keep any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which the Company determines to obtain continuously effective with respect to Subscriber, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of (i) two years from the issuance of the Subscribed Shares, (ii) the date on which all of the Subscribed Shares shall have been sold, or (iii) on the first date on which the undersigned can sell all of its Subscribed Shares (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 of the Securities Act without limitation as to the manner of sale or the amount of such securities that may be sold;

provided

that, the Company shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the

M-11

Table of Contents

Registration Statement, and from time to time to require Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Company or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event the Company’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Company in the Registration Statement of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the

non-disclosure

of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Company’s board of directors, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements(such circumstance, a “

Suspension Event

”);

provided,

that the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such Registration Statement available for the sale by Subscriber of such Subscribed Shares as soon as practicable thereafter. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company (which notice shall not contain any material

non-public

information regarding the Company) of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Subscriber agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Subscribed Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Company that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Company unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the Company, Subscriber will deliver to the Company or, in Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Subscribed Shares in Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Subscribed Shares shall not apply (i) to the extent Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide

pre-existing

document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data

back-up.

(b) The Company shall advise Subscriber within five (5) business days:

(i)

when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

(ii)

of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

(iii)

of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Subscribed Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

(iv)

subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company shall not, when so advising Subscriber of such events, provide Subscriber with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Company other than to the extent that providing notice to Subscriber of the occurrence of the events listed in (i) through (iv) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding the Company.

(c) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable.

M-12

Table of Contents

(d) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Subscribed Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Common Stock have been listed.

IPO

”) and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders and certain other parties (including the underwriters of the IPO). For and in consideration of the Company entering into this Subscription Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Subscriber hereby (a) agrees that it does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any assets held in the Trust Account, and shall not make any claim against the Trust Account, regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to this Subscription Agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “

Released Claims

”), (b) irrevocably waives any Released Claims that it may have against the Trust Account now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with the Company, and (c) will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever. Subscriber agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Subscription Agreement and specifically relied upon by the Company and its affiliates to induce the Company to enter in this Subscription Agreement, and Subscriber further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against Subscriber and each of its affiliates under applicable law. To the extent the Subscriber or any of its affiliates commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to the Company or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against the Company or its Representatives, Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that Subscriber’s and its affiliates’ sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit the Subscriber or its affiliates (or any person claiming on any of their behalves or in lieu of any of them) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. In the event Subscriber or any of its affiliates commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to the Company or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or the public shareholders of the Company, whether in the form of money damages or injunctive relief, the Company and its Representatives, as applicable, shall be entitled to recover from Subscriber and its affiliates the associated legal fees and costs in connection with any such action in the event the Company or its Representatives, as applicable,

For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “

Representatives

” with respect to any person shall mean such person’s affiliates and its and its affiliate’s respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, advisors, agents and other representatives. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Subscription Agreement, the provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Subscription Agreement.

Section 9.

Company’s Covenants

. At the request of the holder of the Subscribed Shares, and subject to the execution and delivery of such representation letters and other information as the Company or its transfer agent shall reasonably request, the Company shall reasonably cooperate with the holder of the Subscribed Shares to effect the removal of any applicable legend, and for the Company to issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of the Subscribed Shares upon which it is stamped or issue to such holder by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at The Depository Trust Company (“

DTC

”), if (i) such Subscribed Shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (ii) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer, such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Subscribed Shares may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, or (iii) the Subscribed Shares are sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144.

Section 10.

Indemnity

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the Subscriber, its directors, and officers, employees, and agents, and each person who controls the Subscriber (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) and each affiliate of the Subscriber (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Subscriber expressly for use therein. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Company’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) nor shall the Company be liable for any Losses to the extent they arise out of based upon a violation which occurs in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of Subscriber in violation of this Agreement.

(b) The Subscriber agrees, severally and not jointly with any person that is a party to the Other Subscription Agreements, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, employees and agents, and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) and each affiliate of the Company against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or

M-14

Table of Contents

any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Subscriber expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of the Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Subscriber upon the sale of the Subscribed Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Subscriber’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Subscriber (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (1) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (2) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent. An indemnifying party who elects not to assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of legal counsel to any indemnified party a conflict of interest exists between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(d) The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, employee, agent, affiliate or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Subscribed Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

(e) If the indemnification provided under this Section 10 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by or on behalf of, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 10 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Each indemnifying party’s obligation to make a contribution pursuant to this Section 10(e) shall be individual, not joint and several, and any contribution pursuant to this Section 10(e) by any seller of Subscribed Shares shall be limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Subscribed Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement.

(m) In any dispute arising out of or related to this Subscription Agreement, or any other agreement, document, instrument or certificate contemplated hereby, or any transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the applicable adjudicating body shall award to the prevailing party, if any, the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the dispute and the enforcement of its rights under this Subscription Agreement or any other agreement, document, instrument or certificate contemplated hereby and, if the adjudicating body determines a party to be the prevailing party under circumstances where the prevailing party won on some but not all of the claims and counterclaims, the adjudicating body may award the prevailing party an appropriate percentage of the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the adjudication and the enforcement of its rights under this Subscription Agreement or any other agreement, document, instrument or certificate contemplated hereby or thereby.

(n) If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

(o) No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement, and no course of dealing between the parties hereto, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of such party. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement by a party hereto, nor any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or remedy, shall preclude such party from any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder.

(p) This Subscription Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic mail or in .pdf) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.

(q) This Subscription Agreement, and any claim or cause of action hereunder based upon, arising out of or related to this Subscription Agreement (whether based on law, in equity, in contract, in tort or any other theory) or the negotiation, execution, performance or enforcement of this Subscription Agreement, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws that would otherwise require the application of the law of any other state.

non-public

Nothing contained herein or in any Other Subscription Agreement, and no action taken by Subscriber or investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Subscriber and Other Subscribers or other investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that Subscriber and Other Subscribers or other investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements. Subscriber acknowledges that no Other Subscriber has acted as agent for Subscriber in connection with making its investment hereunder and no Other Subscriber will be acting as agent of Subscriber in connection with monitoring its investment in the Subscribed Shares or enforcing its rights under this Subscription Agreement. Subscriber shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Subscription Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Subscriber or investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

ANNEX A

ELIGIBILITY REPRESENTATIONS OF SUBSCRIBER

Capitalized terms used and not defined in this

Annex A

shall have the meanings given in the Subscription Agreement to which this

Annex A

is attached. The undersigned represents and warrants that the undersigned is either a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “

Securities Act

”)) or an “accredited investor” (an “

Accredited Investor

”) as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, for

Accredited Investor

(i) A natural person whose net worth, either individually or jointly with such person’s spouse or spousal equivalent, at the time of the Subscriber’s purchase, exceeds $1,000,000;

The term “net worth” means the excess of total assets over total liabilities (including personal and real property, but

excluding

the estimated fair market value of the Subscriber’s primary home). For the purposes of calculating joint net worth with the person’s spouse or spousal equivalent, joint net worth can be the aggregate net worth of the Subscriber and spouse or spousal equivalent; assets need not be held jointly to be included in the calculation. There is no requirement that securities be purchased jointly. A spousal equivalent means a cohabitant occupying a relationship generally equivalent to a spouse.

In determining individual “income,” the Subscriber should add to the Subscriber’s individual taxable adjusted gross income (exclusive of any spousal or spousal equivalent income) any amounts attributable to tax exempt income received, losses claimed as a limited partner in any limited partnership, deductions claimed for depletion, contributions to an IRA or Keogh retirement plan, alimony payments, and any amount by which income from long-term capital gains has been reduced in arriving at adjusted gross income.

(iii)

A director or executive officer of the Company;

(iv)

A natural person holding in good standing with one or more professional certifications or designations or other credentials from an accredited educational institution that the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (“

SEC

”) has designated as qualifying an individual for accredited investor status;

The SEC has designated the General Securities Representative license (Series 7), the Private Securities Offering Representative license (Series 82) and the Licensed Investment Adviser Representative (Series 65) as the initial certifications that qualify for accredited investor status.

A natural person who is a “knowledgeable employee” as defined in Rule

3c-5(a)(4)

under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “

Investment Company Act

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of directors and officers.

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors. However, such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be unenforceable, to the extent it seeks to indemnify or exculpate a fiduciary in respect of their actual fraud or willful default, or for the consequences of committing a crime. The registrant’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides for indemnification of officers and directors for losses, damages, costs and expenses incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud, wilful neglect or willful default.

1.	The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(a)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i)

To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii)

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;

(b)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(d)

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration

statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(e)

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this Registration Statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)

Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii)

Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii)

The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv)

Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by them is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this Registration Statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reoffering’s by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

The registrant undertakes that every prospectus: (1) that is filed pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, or (2) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this Form

S-4,

within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of this Registration Statement through the date of responding to the request.
