INTRODUCTORY NOTE
Due to the large number of events reported under the specified items of Form 8-K, this Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed in two parts. An amendment to this Form 8-K is being submitted for filing on the same date to include additional matters under Items 3.03, 5.03, 5.05, 7.01 and 9.01 of Form 8-K.
On February 8, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), Quanergy Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Quanergy”) (f/k/a CITIC Capital Acquisition Corp. (“CCAC”)), consummated the previously announced merger (the “Closing”) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated June 21, 2021 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among CCAC and Quanergy Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (when referred to in its pre-Business Combination (as defined below) capacity, “Legacy Quanergy”). On January 28, 2022, Legacy Quanergy changed its corporate name to Quanergy Perception Technologies, Inc. The Company’s shareholders approved the business combination (the “Business Combination”) and the change of CCAC’s jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware by deregistering as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and domesticating and continuing as a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”) at an extraordinary general meeting of stockholders held on January 31, 2022 (the “Special Meeting”). In connection with the Special Meeting and the Business Combination, holders of 26,867,796 of CCAC’s Class A ordinary shares (“Class A Ordinary Shares”), or approximately 97.3% of the shares with redemption rights, exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.07 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $270,503,771. On February 8, 2022, holders of 600,000 of CCAC’s Class A ordinary shares (“Class A Ordinary Shares”), or approximately 2.2% of the shares with redemption rights, reversed their prior redemptions, resulting in $6,040,773 being returned to the trust account established at the consummation of CCAC’s initial public offering prior to the Closing.
On February 7, 2022, one business day prior to the Closing Date, CCAC effectuated the Domestication, pursuant to which each of CCAC’s currently issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B ordinary shares (“Class B Ordinary Shares”) automatically converted by operation of law, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”). Similarly, all of CCAC’s outstanding warrants became warrants to acquire shares of Common Stock, and no other changes were made to the terms of any outstanding warrants.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination was effected through the merger (the “Merger”) of a wholly owned subsidiary of CCAC, CITIC Capital Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) with and into Legacy Quanergy, whereupon the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased and Legacy Quanergy became the surviving company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In connection with the Domestication, the Company changed its name from CITIC Capital Acquisition Corp. to Quanergy Systems, Inc.
A description of the Business Combination and the terms of the Merger Agreement are included in the final prospectus and definitive proxy statement, dated January 6, 2022 (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in the section entitled “BCA Proposal” beginning on page 126 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.
On the Closing Date, purchasers subscribed to purchase from the Company an aggregate of 3,650,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “PIPE Shares”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $36,500,000, pursuant to separate subscription agreements (each, a “Subscription Agreement”). The sale of PIPE Shares was consummated substantially concurrently with the Closing. A description of the Subscription Agreements is included in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the section entitled “BCA Proposal—Related Agreements—Subscription Agreements” beginning on page 147 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
