Item 8.01. Other Events.

Strategic Alternatives
On June 24, 2024, Hyzon Motors Inc. (the “Company” or “Hyzon”) issued a press release announcing that the Company has started realigning its strategic priorities so as to focus on the Company’s core North American markets and the refuse industry.

In addition to the Company's previously disclosed efforts to secure capital, the Company announced that it has retained PJT Partners as its financial advisor to lead the ongoing capital raise efforts including via capital markets transactions, and to explore a full range of strategic options for the Company, which could potentially include a sale of the Company and/or a divestiture of its Europe and Australia/New Zealand businesses and subsidiaries, amongst other alternatives. As the Company explores such alternatives, it will continue to focus on cost reduction efforts and managing liquidity, including a reduction in work force, or other strategic transactions and/or measures.

The Company can provide no assurances that its exploration of strategic alternatives will result in the Company pursuing a transaction or that any transaction, if pursued, will be completed on attractive terms or at all. The Company has not set a timetable for the completion of this process and does not commit to comment further unless and until the Company enters into a definitive transaction agreement or otherwise determines that further disclosure is appropriate or necessary. Even if successful, the Company may need to pursue other measures, including (without limitation) one or a combination of such transactions and/or measures described above.

The Press Release is attached hereto and filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference into this Current Report. The description of this strategic review process in this Current Report is qualified in its entirety by the attached Press Release.
