On July 17, 2023, TLG Acquisition One Corp., a Delaware corporation (“TLG”), announced that Neha Palmer, a member of the board of directors of Electriq Power, Inc. (“Electriq”) and a proposed member of the to-be-formed board of directors (the “Pubco Board”) of the combined company (“Pubco”) of the previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”) between TLG and Electriq, has notified TLG and Electriq of her intention to resign from the Pubco Board, with the exact date to be determined but after the consummation of the Business Combination. It is expected that Ms. Palmer will resign from the compensation committee of Pubco (the “Pubco Compensation Committee”) at the effective time of her resignation from the Pubco Board. Ms. Palmer has committed to serving on the Pubco Board and the Pubco Compensation Committee through the consummation of the Business Combination and thereafter until the effective date of her resignation. Ms. Palmer’s proposed departure is not the result of any disagreement with the management or board of directors of either Electriq or TLG. Electriq and TLG are actively searching for a replacement.
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 has been submitted to TLG’s stockholders for their consideration. In connection with the proposed Business Combination, TLG has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Form S-4”), in which a joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus (“Proxy Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus”) was included. The information in the Form S-4 may be changed. TLG also intends to file other relevant documents with the SEC regarding the proposed Business Combination. The Form S-4 has been declared effective by the SEC and the definitive Proxy Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus is being mailed to TLG’s stockholders in connection with TLG’s solicitation of proxies for the vote of TLG’s stockholders, and Electriq’s stockholders in connection with Electriq’s solicitation of written consent, in connection with the proposed Business Combination and other matters as described in such Proxy Statement/Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus, and serves 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/CONSENT SOLICITATION 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/Consent Solicitation 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 directing a written request to TLG at 515 North Flagler Drive, Suite 520, West Palm Beach, FL 33401.
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 of 1933, as amended.
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, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on March 20, 2023 (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. Other 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/Consent Solicitation 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/Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus carefully when it becomes available before making any voting or investment decisions.
