EXPLANATORY NOTE

DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment relates to the following Registration Statement on Form S-1 (as amended and supplemented, the “Registration Statement”), previously filed by Quanergy Systems, Inc. (the “Company”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”):

• Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-267420), originally filed with the SEC on September 14, 2022 and declared effective on October 28, 2022, relating to, among other things, (a) the issuance by the Company of up to 45,080,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) upon exercise of warrants (the “Unit Warrants”) issued under the Registration Statement and (b) the issuance by the Company of up to 450,800 shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of warrants issued to the underwriter in the offering (the “Underwriter Warrants”) under the Registration Statement.

The Company is filing this Post-Effective Amendment to withdraw and remove from registration any and all shares of Common Stock that remain unissued by the Company pursuant to the Unit Warrants and Underwriter Warrants under the Registration Statement as of the filing of this Post-Effective Amendment.

On December 13, 2022, the Company filed a voluntary petition (Case No. 22-11305) for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101–1532 (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (such court, the “Court” and such case, the “Case”). The Case is being administered under the caption “In re Quanergy Systems, Inc., Case No. 22-11305 (CTG).”

On February 2, 2023, the Court entered an order authorizing the sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets to ROLISI, LLC pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. On February 3, 2023, the Company successfully consummated the sale, which provided the Company with the liquidity necessary to wind down the Company’s estate in an orderly and expeditious manner. On November 8, 2023, the Court entered an order confirming the First Amended Chapter 11 Plan of Quanergy Systems, Inc. (the “Plan”). The Plan became effective on November 30, 2023 (the “Effective Date”). Pursuant to the Plan, all shares of common stock and other equity interests in the Company were deemed cancelled and extinguished upon the Effective Date. Accordingly, as of the Effective Date, no additional shares of Common Stock may be issued pursuant to the Unit Warrants or the Underwriter Warrants.

In connection with the Plan, the Company has terminated all offerings of its securities pursuant to its existing registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including the Registration Statement. In accordance with undertakings made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities that had been registered for issuance that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, effective upon the filing of this Post-Effective Amendment, the Company hereby removes and withdraws from registration all such Common Stock of the Company that are registered pursuant to the Registration Statement that remain unsold or otherwise unissued as of the date hereof, if any. The Company also hereby amends the Registration Statement, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such Common Stock and terminates its effectiveness.
