Furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein is the investor presentation dated March 8, 2023 (the “Investor Presentation”), which will be used by TLG Acquisition One Corp. (the “Company” or “TLG”) from time to time, with respect to the previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”) involving TLG and Electriq Power, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Electriq”). The information contained in the Investor Presentation is illustrative summary information that should be considered in the context of the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other public announcements that the Company may make by press release or otherwise from time to time.
The information referenced under Item 7.01 (including Exhibit 99.1 referenced in Item 9.01 below) of this Current Report on Form 8-K is being “furnished” under “Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure” and, as such, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1 referenced in Item 9.01 below) shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement, report or other document filed by the Company pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Additional Information and Where to Find It
This communication relates to the proposed Business Combination involving TLG and Electriq. This communication may be deemed to be solicitation material in respect of the proposed Business Combination. The proposed Business Combination will be submitted to TLG’s stockholders for their consideration. In connection with the proposed Business Combination, TLG has filed with the SEC the Form S-4, in which a preliminary joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) was included. The information in the Form S-4 is not complete and may be changed. TLG also intends to file other relevant documents with the SEC regarding the proposed Business Combination. After the Form S-4 is declared effective by the SEC, the definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus will be mailed to TLG’s stockholders in connection with TLG’s solicitation of proxies for the vote of TLG’s stockholders in connection with the proposed Business Combination and other matters as described in such Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and will serve as the prospectus relating to the offer of the securities to be issued to Electriq’s stockholders in connection with the completion of the proposed Business Combination. BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING OR INVESTMENT DECISION WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION, INVESTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS OF TLG AND INVESTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS OF ELECTRIQ AND OTHER INTERESTED PERSONS ARE URGED TO READ THE DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS REGARDING THE PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION (INCLUDING ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS THERETO) AND OTHER RELEVANT MATERIALS CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION.
The Proxy Statement/Prospectus, any amendments or supplements thereto and other relevant materials, and any other documents filed by TLG with the SEC, may be obtained once such documents are filed with the SEC free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or free of charge from TLG at https://tlgacquisitions.com/investor-relations/default.aspx or by written request to TLG’s Investor Relations Department at mail@tlgacquisitions.com.
No Offer or Solicitation
This communication does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act.
Participants in the Solicitation
TLG, Electriq and certain of their respective executive officers, directors, other members of management and employees may, under the rules of the SEC, be deemed to be “participants” in the solicitation of proxies in connection with the proposed Business Combination. Information regarding TLG’s directors and executive officers is available in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was filed with the SEC on March 25, 2022 (the “Annual Report”). To the extent that holdings of TLG’s securities have changed from the amounts reported in the Annual Report, such changes have been or will be reflected on Statements of Changes in Beneficial Ownership on Form 4 filed with the SEC. These documents may be obtained free of charge from the sources indicated above. Information regarding the participants in the proxy solicitation and a description of their direct and indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, is contained in the Form S-4, the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and other relevant materials relating to the proposed Business Combination to be filed with the SEC when they become available. Stockholders and other investors should read the Proxy Statement/Prospectus carefully when it becomes available before making any voting or investment decisions.
