(1)      Immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination described in the proxy statement/prospectus forming part of this registration statement (the “proxy statement/prospectus”), Tortoise Acquisition Corp. II, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“TortoiseCorp”), intends to effect a deregistration under the Cayman Islands Companies Law (2020 Revision) and a domestication under Section 388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, pursuant to which TortoiseCorp’s jurisdiction of incorporation will be changed from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”). All securities being registered will be issued by TortoiseCorp (after the Domestication), the continuing entity following the Domestication, which will be renamed “Volta Inc.” upon the effective time of the Domestication, as further described in the proxy statement/prospectus. As used herein, “Volta” refers to TortoiseCorp after the Domestication and/or the consummation of the Business Combination, including after such change of name, as applicable.

(2)      Pursuant to Rule 416(a) of the Securities Act, there are also being registered  an indeterminable number of additional securities as may be issued to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions.

(3)      The number of shares of common stock of Volta being registered represents the number of Class A ordinary shares of TortoiseCorp that were registered pursuant to the registration statements on Form S-1 (333-248269 and 333-248725) (together, the “IPO Registration Statement”) and offered by TortoiseCorp in its initial public offering (the “TortoiseCorp public shares”). The TortoiseCorp public shares will be automatically converted by operation of law into shares of Volta Class A common stock (which will each carry one vote per share) in the Domestication.

(4)      Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee, based on the average of the high and low prices of the Class A ordinary shares of TortoiseCorp (the company to which Volta will succeed following the Domestication) on the NYSE on May 10, 2021 ($10.025 per Class A ordinary share) (such date being within five business days of the date that this registration statement was first filed with the SEC). This calculation is in accordance with Rule 457(f)(1) of the Securities Act.

(5)      The number of redeemable warrants to acquire shares of common stock of Volta being registered represents the number of redeemable warrants to acquire Class A ordinary shares of TortoiseCorp that were registered pursuant to the IPO Registration Statement referenced in note (3) above and offered by TortoiseCorp in its initial public offering (the “TortoiseCorp public warrants”). The TortoiseCorp public warrants will be automatically converted by operation of law into redeemable warrants to acquire shares of Volta Class A common stock in the Domestication.

(6)      Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee, based on the average of the high and low prices of the warrants of TortoiseCorp (the company to which Volta will succeed following the Domestication) on the NYSE on May 10, 2021 ($1.825per warrant) (such date being within five business days of the date that this registration statement was first filed with the SEC). This calculation is in accordance with Rule 457(f)(1) of the Securities Act.

(7)      The number of shares of common stock of Volta being registered represents the sum of (a) 101,240,276shares of Volta Class A common stock to be issued in connection with the Business Combination described herein, (b) 11,431,899shares of Volta Class B common stock (including restricted stock awards) to be issued in connection with the Business Combination described herein, (c)20,712,774shares of Volta Class A common stock that may be reserved for issuance in respect of Volta Class A options issued in exchange for outstanding Volta options and in respect of Volta warrants issued in exchange for outstanding Volta warrants, (d) the issuance of up to 134,993shares of Volta Class B common stock that may be reserved for issuance in respect of Volta Class B options and (e) 10,500,000shares of Volta Class B common stock reserved for issuance upon the settlement of certain restricted stock units to be issued pursuant to Volta’s 2021 Founder Incentive Plan and that may be issued after such date pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination described herein.

(8)      The number of shares of common stock of Volta being registered represents the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the TortoiseCorp public warrants.

(9)      Calculated by multiplying the proposed maximum aggregate offering price of securities to be registered by 0.0001091.

*         Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination described herein, the Registrant intends to effect a deregistration under Article 206 of the Cayman Islands Companies Law (2020 Revision) and a domestication under Section 388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, pursuant to which the Registrant’s jurisdiction of incorporation will be changed from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware.

We may not consummate the Business Combination unless and until the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal, the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, the NYSE Proposal, the 2021 Plan Proposal, the Founder Plan Proposal and the Director Election Proposal (collectively, the “Condition Precedent Proposals”) are approved at the extraordinary general meeting. Each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is cross-conditioned on the approval of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. The approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, the NYSE Proposal, the 2021 Plan Proposal, the Founder Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal the Director Election Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote (in person, online or by proxy) of the holders of a majority of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and actually casting votes thereon at the extraordinary general meeting, voting as a single class. Under the Existing Organizational Documents, only the holders of Class B Ordinary Shares are entitled to vote on the election of directors and therefore the Director Election Proposal. Approval of the Domestication Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote (in person, online or by proxy) of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and actually casting votes thereon at the extraordinary general meeting, voting as a single class. Accordingly, a shareholder’s failure to vote in person, online or by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on any of the Proposals. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

In connection with the Business Combination, certain related agreements have been, or will be, entered into on or prior to the closing of the Business Combination, including (a) the Stockholder Support Agreement, dated as of February7, 2021; (b) certain Lock-Up Agreements, dated as of February7, 2021; (c) the amended and restated registration rights agreement substantially in the form attached to the Business Combination Agreement as Exhibit A (the “Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement”); (d) the Letter Agreement, dated as of September10, 2020, providing that, among other things, the parties thereto will vote their Class B Ordinary Shares in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination; (e) the Sponsor Letter Agreement by and among Volta, TortoiseCorp, Tortoise Sponsor II LLC and certain holders of Class B Ordinary Shares, dated as of February7, 2021; and (f) the Subscription Agreements, dated as of February7, 2021, pursuant to which certain investors have agreed to purchase an aggregate of 30,000,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Private Placement Financing”).

Pursuant to the Existing Organizational Documents, holders of Class A Ordinary Shares issued as part of the TortoiseCorp Units in the initial public offering of TortoiseCorp (the “public shares” and, holders of such public shares, the “public shareholders”), other than public shareholders that held Class B Ordinary Shares prior to such initial public offering (the “initial shareholders”), may request that TortoiseCorp redeem all or a portion of such public shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. Holders of TortoiseCorp Units must elect to separate the TortoiseCorp Units into the underlying Class A Ordinary Shares and TortoiseCorp Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If public shareholders hold their TortoiseCorp Units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, such public shareholders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the TortoiseCorp Units into the underlying public shares and warrants, or if a holder holds TortoiseCorp Units registered in its own name, the holder must contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company,

TortoiseCorp’s transfer agent, directly and instruct it to do so. The redemption rights include the requirement that a holder must identify itself to TortoiseCorp in order to validly redeem its shares. Public shareholders (other than the initial shareholders) may elect to redeem their public shares even if they vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the public shares will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank. If the Business Combination is consummated, and if a public shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the public shares that it holds and timely delivers its shares to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, New Volta will redeem such public shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the trust account established at the consummation of TortoiseCorp’s initial public offering relating to such public shares, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, as of December31, 2020, this would have amounted to $10.00 per issued and outstanding public share. If a public shareholder exercises its redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its public shares for cash and will no longer own public shares. The redemption will take place following the Domestication and, accordingly, it is shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock that will be redeemed immediately after consummation of the Business Combination. See the subsection entitled “Extraordinary General Meeting — Redemption Rights” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your public shares for cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such public shareholder or any other person with whom such public shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the public shares. Accordingly, if a public shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 20% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of such 20% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

Tortoise Sponsor II LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), and TortoiseCorp’s officers and directors have agreed to (a) vote all of their Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination and (b) waive their anti-dilution rights with respect to their Class B Ordinary Shares in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. Such shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price applicable to public shares that are redeemed. As of the date of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, the initial shareholders own approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares in the aggregate.

The Business Combination Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain other closing conditions as described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. There can be no assurance that the parties to the Business Combination Agreement would waive any such provision of the Business Combination Agreement if the closing conditions are not met. In addition, in no event will TortoiseCorp redeem public shares in an amount that would cause New Volta’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) to be less than $5,000,001 after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the Private Placement Financing.

TortoiseCorp is providing the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus and accompanying proxy card to its shareholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the extraordinary general meeting and at any adjournments of the extraordinary general meeting. Information about the extraordinary general meeting, the Business Combination and other related business to be considered by TortoiseCorp’s shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting is included in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. Whether or not you plan to attend the extraordinary general meeting, all of TortoiseCorp’s shareholders are urged to read the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes and other documents referred to therein, carefully and in their entirety. In particular, you should carefully consider the matters discussed under “Risk Factors” beginning on page 38 of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

After careful consideration, the boards of directors of TortoiseCorp and Volta have each unanimously approved the Business Combination Agreement and related transactions and the board of directors of TortoiseCorp has approved the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus and determined that it is advisable to consummate the Business Combination. The board of directors of TortoiseCorp recommends that its shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Business Combination Agreement, “FOR” the Domestication, “FOR” the issuance of New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Class B Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Domestication, the Business Combination and the Private Placement Financing and “FOR” the other proposals described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

The approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, the NYSE Proposal, the 2021 Plan Proposal, the Founder Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal the Director Election Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote (in person, online or by proxy) of the holders of a majority of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and actually casting votes thereon at the extraordinary general meeting, voting as a single class. Under the Existing Organizational Documents, only the holders of Class B Ordinary Shares are entitled to vote on the election of directors and therefore the Director Election Proposal. Approval of the Domestication Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote (in person, online or by proxy) of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and actually casting votes thereon at the extraordinary general meeting, voting as a single class. Accordingly, a shareholder’s failure to vote in person, online or by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on any of the Proposals. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

Your vote is very important, regardless of the number of Class A Ordinary Shares you own. To ensure your representation at the extraordinary general meeting, please complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. Please submit your proxy promptly, whether or not you expect to attend the extraordinary general meeting.

If you sign, date and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted FOR each of the proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting. If you fail to return your proxy card or fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote, and do not attend the extraordinary general meeting virtually or in person, the effect will be, among other things, that your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the extraordinary general meeting and will not be voted. An abstention or broker non-vote will be counted towards the quorum requirement but will not count as a vote cast at the extraordinary general meeting. You can also attend the extraordinary general meeting and vote in person or online. Even if you have previously voted by submitting a proxy pursuant to any of the methods noted above, you may withdraw your proxy and vote in person or online.

More information about TortoiseCorp, Volta and the proposed transactions is included in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. TortoiseCorp urges you to read the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, including the financial statements and annexes and other documents referred to herein, carefully and in their entirety.

TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS, YOU MUST DEMAND IN WRITING THAT YOUR PUBLIC SHARES ARE REDEEMED FOR A PRO RATA PORTION OF THE FUNDS HELD IN THE TRUST ACCOUNT AND TENDER YOUR SHARES TO TORTOISECORP’S TRANSFER AGENT AT LEAST TWO BUSINESS DAYS PRIOR TO THE VOTE AT THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING. IN ORDER TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHT, YOU NEED TO IDENTIFY YOURSELF AS A BENEFICIAL HOLDER. YOU MAY TENDER YOUR SHARES BY EITHER DELIVERING YOUR SHARE CERTIFICATE TO THE TRANSFER AGENT OR BY DELIVERING YOUR SHARES ELECTRONICALLY USING THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY’S DWAC (DEPOSIT WITHDRAWAL AT CUSTODIAN) SYSTEM. IF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION IS NOT COMPLETED, THEN THESE SHARES WILL BE RETURNED TO YOU OR YOUR ACCOUNT. IF YOU HOLD THE SHARES IN STREET NAME, YOU WILL NEED TO INSTRUCT THE ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE AT YOUR BANK OR BROKER TO WITHDRAW THE SHARES FROM YOUR ACCOUNT IN ORDER TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS.

On behalf of our board of directors, I thank you for your support and look forward to the successful completion of the Business Combination.

Sincerely,

TortoiseCorp is providing the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus and accompanying proxy card to its shareholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the extraordinary general meeting and at any adjournments of the extraordinary general meeting. Information about the extraordinary general meeting, the Business Combination and other related business to be considered by TortoiseCorp’s shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting is included in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. Whether or not you plan to attend the extraordinary general meeting, all of TortoiseCorp’s shareholders are urged to read the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes and other documents referred to therein, carefully and in their entirety. In particular, you should carefully consider the matters discussed under “Risk Factors” beginning on page 38 of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

After careful consideration, the board of directors of TortoiseCorp has unanimously approved the Business Combination Agreement and related transactions and the other Proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus, and has determined that it is advisable to consummate the Business Combination. The board of directors of TortoiseCorp recommends that its shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Business Combination Agreement, “FOR” the Domestication, “FOR” the issuance of New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Class B Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Domestication, the Business Combination and the Private Placement Financing and “FOR” the other Proposals described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

Pursuant to the Existing Organizational Documents, a holder of Class A Ordinary Shares issued as part of the units sold in TortoiseCorp’s initial public offering (the “public shares” and, holders of such public shares the “public shareholders”), other than public shareholders that held Class B Ordinary Shares prior to TortoiseCorp’s initial public offering (the “initial shareholders”) may request that TortoiseCorp redeem all or a portion of its public shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. As a holder of public shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

(a)     hold public shares, or if you hold public shares through TortoiseCorp units sold in the initial public offering of TortoiseCorp (the “TortoiseCorp Units”), you elect to separate your TortoiseCorp Units into the underlying public shares and warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares;

(b)    submit a written request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, TortoiseCorp’s transfer agent, in which you (i) request that New Volta redeem all or a portion of your public shares for cash, and (ii) identify yourself as the beneficial holder of the public shares and provide your legal name, phone number and address; and

SUMMARY TERM SHEET

This Summary Term Sheet, together with the sections entitled “Questions and Answers About the Business Combination” and “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus,” summarizes certain information included in this proxy statement/prospectus, but does not include all of the information that is important to you. You should carefully read this entire proxy statement/prospectus, including the attached annexes, for a more complete understanding of the matters to be considered at the extraordinary general meeting.

•        TortoiseCorp is a blank check company incorporated on July24, 2020 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. For more information about TortoiseCorp, see the section entitled “Information About TortoiseCorp.” When you consider the TortoiseCorp Board’s recommendation of the Proposals, you should keep in mind that our directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of TortoiseCorp shareholders generally. Our directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the Business Combination, and in recommending to shareholders that they approve the Business Combination. Shareholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination. See the subsection entitled “The Business Combination — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” for additional information. The TortoiseCorp Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in recommending that TortoiseCorp shareholders vote “FOR” each of the Proposals.

•        There are currently 34,500,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and 8,625,000 Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding. In addition, there are currently 14,558,333 TortoiseCorp Warrants outstanding, consisting of 8,625,000 public warrants and 5,933,333 private placement warrants. Each whole TortoiseCorp Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one whole Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share. The TortoiseCorp Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination (or any other Initial Business Combination) and (b) 12months from the closing of our IPO and will expire five years after the completion of an Initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Once the warrants become exercisable, TortoiseCorp may redeem the outstanding warrants, in whole and not in part, for cash in accordance with, and subject to the terms of, the Warrant Agreement. The private placement warrants, however, are non-redeemable so long as they are held by our Sponsor or its permitted transferees. For more information about the terms of the warrants, see the subsection entitled “Description of Securities — Public Warrants.”

•        Volta, a Delaware corporation, was founded in 2010 by Scott Mercer, its Chief Executive Officer, and Christopher Wendel, who subsequently joined as co-founder and President. Volta primarily owns, operates and maintains EV charging stations and has expanded its network across the United States to include more than 1,600 chargers across 23 territories and states that generated over 140,000 charging sessions per month on average for the 12months ended December31, 2020, forming one of the most utilized charging station networks in the United States. For more information about Volta, see the sections entitled “Information About Volta” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Volta.”

•        On February7, 2021, we and our wholly owned subsidiaries, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub, entered into the Business Combination Agreement with Volta. A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A.

•        Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, First Merger Sub will merge with and into Volta, with Volta surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Volta, and as soon as practicable, but in any event within three days following the Effective Time and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, Volta (as the surviving entity of the First Merger) will merge with and into Second Merger Sub, with Second Merger Sub surviving the Second Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Volta. For more information about the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination, see the section entitled “The Business Combination.”

viii

•        At the Closing, it is anticipated that 101,240,276shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock and 11,431,899shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock will be issued to the Historical Rollover Shareholders in the Business Combination in exchange for all outstanding shares of Volta Common Stock (including shares of Volta Preferred Stock converted in the Conversion). It is also anticipated that we will reserve for issuance up to 20,712,774shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock and 134,993shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock in respect of New Volta Options issued in exchange for outstanding pre-merger Volta Options and in respect of New Volta Warrants issued in exchange for outstanding pre-merger Volta Warrants. For more information about the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination, see the section entitled “The Business Combination.”

•        Unless lawfully waived by the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, the Closing is subject to a number of conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, including, among others, receipt of the requisite TortoiseCorp shareholder approval of the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination and certain other proposals at the extraordinary general meeting, as contemplated by this proxy statement/prospectus. For more information about the closing conditions to the Business Combination, see the subsection entitled “The Business Combination — Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination Agreement.”

•        The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the consummation of the Business Combination upon agreement of the parties thereto, or for other reasons in specified circumstances. For more information about the termination rights under the Business Combination Agreement, see the subsection entitled “The Business Combination — Termination.”

•        The proposed Business Combination involves numerous risks. For more information about these risks, please see the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

•        Pursuant to the Private Placement Financing, we have agreed to issue and sell to certain investors, and those investors have agreed to buy from us, in connection with the Closing, an aggregate of 30,000,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate commitment of $300,000,000. Such New Volta Class A Common Stock would be valued at approximately $          , based on the closing price of our Class A Ordinary Shares of $           per share on            , 2021.

•        Under our Existing Organizational Documents, in connection with the Business Combination, our public shareholders may elect to have their shares redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share calculated in accordance with our Existing Organizational Documents. As of December31, 2020, this would have amounted to $10.00 per share. If a holder exercises its redemption rights, then such holder will be exchanging its public shares for cash and will no longer own shares of New Volta following the completion of the Business Combination and will not participate in the future growth of New Volta, if any. Such a holder will be entitled to receive cash for its public shares only if it properly demands redemption and delivers its shares (either physically or electronically) to our transfer agent at least two business days prior to the extraordinary general meeting. For more information regarding these procedures, see the subsection entitled “Extraordinary General Meeting — Redemption Rights.”

•        We anticipate that, upon completion of the Business Combination, the ownership of New Volta will be as follows:

•        the Historical Rollover Shareholders other than Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will own 88,728,871shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 50.9% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock, and 1,907,872shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, or approximately 16.7% of the outstanding New Volta Class B Common Stock;

•        the public shareholders will own 34,500,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 19.8% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        the New Private Placement Investors will own 30,000,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 17.2% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        the initial shareholders will own 8,625,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 4.9% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock; and

ix

•        Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel, together with their affiliated entities, will collectively own 12,511,405shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 7.2% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock, and 9,524,027shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, or 83.3% of the outstanding New Volta Class B Common Stock and, assuming that the New Volta Class B Common Stock is not converted into Class A Common Stock, immediately following the completion of the Business Combination, taking into account all of their New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Class B Common Stock, Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will collectively control approximately 37.3% of the voting power of the capital stock of New Volta on a fully-diluted basis.

The number of shares and the interests set forth above (a) assume (i) that no public shareholders elect to have their public shares redeemed, (ii) that there are no other issuances of equity interests of TortoiseCorp or Volta and no repurchases of Volta Restricted Stock, (iii) none of TortoiseCorp’s initial shareholders or the Historical Rollover Shareholders purchase Class A Ordinary Shares in the open market and (iv) that there are no exercises of Volta Options or Volta Warrants and (b) do not take into account TortoiseCorp Warrants that will remain outstanding following the Business Combination and which may be exercised at a later date. As a result of the Business Combination, the economic and voting interests of our public shareholders will decrease. If we assume the maximum redemptions scenario described under the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information — Note 1 - Basis of Presentation,” i.e., 34,500,000 public shares are redeemed, and the assumptions set forth in the foregoing clauses (a)(ii)–(iv) and (b) remain true, the ownership of New Volta upon completion of the Business Combination will be as follows:

•        the Historical Rollover Shareholders other than Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will own 88,728,871shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 63.4% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock, and 1,907,872shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, or approximately 16.7% of the outstanding New Volta Class B Common Stock;

•        the public shareholders will not own any shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        the New Private Placement Investors will own 30,000,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 21.4% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        the initial shareholders will own 8,625,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 6.2% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock; and

•        Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel, together with their affiliated entities, will collectively own 12,511,405shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 8.9% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock, and 9,524,027shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, or 83.3% of the outstanding New Volta Class B Common Stock and, assuming that the New Volta Class B Common Stock is not converted into Class A Common Stock, immediately following the completion of the Business Combination, taking into account all of their New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Class B Common Stock, Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will collectively control approximately 42.4% of the voting power of the capital stock of New Volta on a fully-diluted basis.

The ownership percentages with respect to New Volta set forth above do not take into account TortoiseCorp Warrants that will remain outstanding immediately following the Business Combination, but do include the Founder Shares, which will convert into New Volta Class A Common Stock upon an Initial Business Combination. If the facts are different than these assumptions, the percentage ownership retained by TortoiseCorp’s existing shareholders in New Volta following the Business Combination will be different. For example, if we assume that all outstanding 8,625,000 public warrants and 5,933,333 private placement warrants were exercisable and exercised following completion of the Business Combination and further assume that no public shareholders elect to have their public shares redeemed (and each other assumption set forth in the preceding paragraph remains the same), then the ownership of New Volta would be as follows:

•        the Historical Rollover Shareholders other than Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will own 88,728,871shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 47.0% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock, and 1,907,872shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, or approximately 16.7% of the outstanding New Volta Class B Common Stock;

x

•        the public shareholders will own 43,125,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 22.8% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        the New Private Placement Investors will own 30,000,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 15.9% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        the initial shareholders will own 14,558,333shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 7.7% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock; and

•        Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel, together with their affiliated entities, will collectively own 12,511,405shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 6.6% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock, and 9,524,027shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, or 83.3% of the outstanding New Volta Class B Common Stock and, assuming that the New Volta Class B Common Stock is not converted into Class A Common Stock, immediately following the completion of the Business Combination, taking into account all of their New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Class B Common Stock, Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will collectively control approximately 35.5% of the voting power of the capital stock of New Volta on a fully-diluted basis.

The TortoiseCorp Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination (or any other Initial Business Combination) and (b) 12months from the closing of our IPO and will expire five years after the completion of an Initial Business Combination or earlier upon their redemption or liquidation.

Additionally, if we (a) assume (i) that no public shareholders elect to have their public shares redeemed, (ii) that there are no other issuances of equity interests of TortoiseCorp or Volta and no repurchases of Volta Restricted Stock, (iii) none of TortoiseCorp’s initial shareholders or the Historical Rollover Shareholders purchase Class A Ordinary Shares in the open market, (iv) the issuance of all 20,712,774shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock that will be reserved in respect of New Volta Options issued in exchange for outstanding pre-merger Volta Options and in respect of New Volta Warrants issued in exchange for outstanding pre-merger Volta Warrants and (v) the issuance of all 134,993shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock that will be reserved in respect of New Volta Options issued in exchange for outstanding pre-merger Volta Options and (b) do not take into account TortoiseCorp Warrants that will remain outstanding following the Business Combination and may be exercised at a later date, then the ownership of New Volta would be as follows:

•        the Historical Rollover Shareholders other than Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will own 108,936,646shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 55.8% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock, and 1,907,872shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, or approximately 16.5% of the outstanding New Volta Class B Common Stock;

•        the public shareholders will own 34,500,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 17.7% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        the New Private Placement Investors will own 30,000,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 15.4% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        the initial shareholders will own 8,625,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 4.4% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock; and

•        Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel, together with their affiliated entities, will collectively own 13,016,404shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 6.7% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock, and 9,659,020shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, or 83.5% of the outstanding New Volta Class B Common Stock and, assuming that the New Volta Class B Common Stock is not converted into Class A Common Stock, immediately following the completion of the Business Combination, taking into account all of their New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Class B Common Stock, Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will collectively control approximately 35.3% of the voting power of the capital stock of New Volta on a fully-diluted basis.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE BUSINESS COMBINATION

The following questions and answers briefly address some commonly asked questions about the Proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting, including the proposed Business Combination. The following questions and answers do not include all the information that is important to TortoiseCorp shareholders. We urge TortoiseCorp shareholders to carefully read this entire proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes and other documents referred to herein.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT TORTOISECORP’S EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING AND THE BUSINESS COMBINATION

Q:     Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus?

A:     TortoiseCorp is sending this proxy statement/prospectus to its shareholders to help them decide how to vote their Ordinary Shares with respect to the matters to be considered at the extraordinary general meeting. TortoiseCorp shareholders are being asked to consider and vote upon, among other things, a proposal to (a) approve and adopt the Business Combination Agreement, pursuant to which First Merger Sub will merge with and into Volta, with Volta surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Volta, and as soon as practicable, but in any event within three days following the Effective Time and as part of the same overall transaction as First Merger, Volta (as the surviving entity of the First Merger) will merge with and into Second Merger Sub, with Second Merger Sub surviving the Second Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Volta, (b) approve the First Merger, Second Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and (c) approve, for purposes of complying with applicable listing rules of the NYSE, (i) the issuance in connection with the Domestication and the Business Combination of up to an aggregate of 144,365,276shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock and 4,562,259shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock to the Historical Rollover Shareholders, (ii) the issuance and sale to the New Private Placement Investors of 30,000,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock in the Private Placement Financing, which shall occur substantially concurrently with, and is contingent upon, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, (iii) the issuance of up to 20,712,774shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock that may be reserved for issuance in respect of New Volta Class A Options issued in exchange for outstanding Volta Options and in respect of New Volta Warrants issued in exchange for outstanding Volta Warrants and (iv) the issuance of up to 6,869,640shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock that may be reserved for issuance in respect of New Volta Restricted Stock and New Volta Class B Options. The Business Combination cannot be completed unless TortoiseCorp shareholders approve the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal, the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, the NYSE Proposal, the 2021 Plan Proposal, the Founder Plan Proposal and the Director Election Proposal (collectively, the “Condition Precedent Proposals”) at the extraordinary general meeting.

A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A. This proxy statement/prospectus and its annexes include important information about the proposed Business Combination and the other matters to be acted upon at the extraordinary general meeting. You should read this proxy statement/prospectus and its annexes carefully and in their entirety.

The approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, the NYSE Proposal, the 2021 Plan Proposal, the Founder Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal, the Director Election Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote (in person, online or by proxy) of at least a majority of the holders of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and actually casting votes thereon at the extraordinary general meeting, voting as a single class. Under the Existing Organizational Documents, only the holders of Class B Ordinary Shares are entitled to vote on the election of directors and therefore the Director Election Proposal. Each of the Domestication Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote (in person, online or by proxy) of at least a two-thirds majority of the holders of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and actually casting votes thereon at the extraordinary general meeting, voting as a single class.

As a condition to the Business Combination, TortoiseCorp will change its jurisdiction of incorporation by deregistering as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and continuing and domesticating as

1

a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware. As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication, prior to the Effective Time: (a) each then issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Share and each then issued and outstanding Class B Ordinary Share will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of New Volta Class A Common Stock; (b) each then issued and outstanding TortoiseCorp Warrant will convert automatically into a New Volta Warrant pursuant to the Warrant Agreement; (c) each then issued and outstanding TortoiseCorp Unit will convert automatically into a New Volta Unit, each consisting of one share of New Volta Class A Common Stock and one-fourth of one New Volta Warrant; (d) a dual class structure will be implemented and New Volta will be authorized to issue New Volta Class B Common Stock that will carry voting rights in the form of ten votes per such share; and (e) TortoiseCorp will immediately be renamed “Volta Inc.”

Q:     What will happen in the Business Combination?

A:     On February7, 2021, TortoiseCorp, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub entered into the Business Combination Agreement with Volta. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, (a) First Merger Sub will merge with and into Volta, with Volta surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Volta, and (b) as soon as practicable, but in any event within three days following the Effective Time and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, Volta (as the surviving entity of the First Merger) will merge with and into Second Merger Sub, with Second Merger Sub surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Volta. At the Closing, it is anticipated that 101,240,276shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock and 11,431,899shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock will be issued to the Historical Rollover Shareholders in the Business Combination in exchange for all outstanding shares of Volta Common Stock. It is also anticipated that we will reserve for issuance up to 20,712,774shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock and 134,993shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock in respect of New Volta Options issued in exchange for outstanding pre-merger Volta Options and in respect of New Volta Warrants issued in exchange for outstanding pre-merger Volta Warrants. For more information about the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination, see the section entitled “The Business Combination.”

Q:     Why is TortoiseCorp proposing the Business Combination?

A:     TortoiseCorp was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination involving TortoiseCorp and one or more businesses or entities.

On September15, 2020, TortoiseCorp completed its IPO of 34,500,000 TortoiseCorp Units, including 4,500,000 TortoiseCorp Units that were issued pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full, with each TortoiseCorp Unit consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share and one-fourth of one warrant, where each whole warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share, generating gross proceeds to TortoiseCorp of $345,000,000. The underwriters were granted a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the IPO to purchase up to 4,500,000 additional units to cover over-allotments, if any, at $10.00 per unit, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full on September11, 2020. Since the IPO, TortoiseCorp’s activity has been limited to the search for a prospective Initial Business Combination.

The TortoiseCorp Board considered a wide variety of factors in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination, including its review of the results of the due diligence conducted by TortoiseCorp’s management and TortoiseCorp’s advisors. As a result, the TortoiseCorp Board concluded that a transaction with Volta would present the most attractive opportunity to maximize value for TortoiseCorp’s shareholders. Please see the subsection entitled “The Business Combination — The TortoiseCorp Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination.”

Q:     What conditions must be satisfied to complete the Business Combination?

A:     There are a number of closing conditions in the Business Combination Agreement, including the approval by our shareholders of the Condition Precedent Proposals. For a summary of the conditions that must be satisfied or waived prior to completion of the Business Combination, see the subsection entitled “The Business Combination — Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination Agreement.”

Q:     How will we be managed and governed following the Business Combination?

A:     Immediately after the Closing, the TortoiseCorp Board will be divided into three separate classes, designated as follows:

•        the Class I directors will be                       and                       and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2022;

•        the Class II directors will be                       ,                       and                       and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2023; and

•        the Class III directors will be                       ,                      and                       and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2024.

It is anticipated that                       will be designated Chairperson of the New Volta board of directors (the “New Volta Board”) immediately after the Closing.

For additional information, please see the section entitled “Management After the Business Combination.”

Q:     Will TortoiseCorp obtain new financing in connection with the Business Combination?

A:     The New Private Placement Investors have committed to purchase from TortoiseCorp 30,000,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $300million in the Private Placement Financing.

Q:     What equity stake will our current shareholders and the holders of our Founder Shares hold in New Volta following the consummation of the Business Combination?

A:     We anticipate that, upon completion of the Business Combination, the ownership of New Volta will be as follows:

•        the Historical Rollover Shareholders other than Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will own 88,728,871shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 50.9% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock, and 1,907,872shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, or approximately 16.7% of the outstanding New Volta Class B Common Stock;

•        the public shareholders will own 34,500,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 19.8% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        the New Private Placement Investors will own 30,000,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 17.2% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        the initial shareholders will own 8,625,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 4.9% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock; and

•        Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel, together with their affiliated entities, will collectively own 12,511,405shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 7.2% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock, and 9,524,027shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, or 83.3% of the outstanding New Volta Class B Common Stock and, assuming that the New Volta Class B Common Stock is not converted into Class A Common Stock, immediately following the completion of the Business Combination, taking into account all of their New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Class B Common Stock, Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will collectively control approximately 37.3% of the voting power of the capital stock of New Volta on a fully-diluted basis.

4

The number of shares and the interests set forth above (a) assume (i) that no public shareholders elect to have their public shares redeemed, (ii) that there are no other issuances of equity interests of TortoiseCorp or Volta and no repurchases of Volta Restricted Stock, (iii) none of TortoiseCorp’s initial shareholders or the Historical Rollover Shareholders purchase Class A Ordinary Shares in the open market and (iv) that there are no exercises of Volta Options or Volta Warrants and (b) do not take into account TortoiseCorp Warrants that will remain outstanding following the Business Combination and may be exercised at a later date. As a result of the Business Combination, the economic and voting interests of our public shareholders will decrease. If we assume the maximum redemptions scenario described under the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information — Note 1 — Basis of Presentation,” i.e., 34,500,000 public shares are redeemed, and the assumptions set forth in the foregoing clauses (a)(ii)–(iv) and (b) remain true, the ownership of New Volta upon the Closing will be as follows:

•        the Historical Rollover Shareholders other than Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will own 88,728,871shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 63.4% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock, and 1,907,872shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, or approximately 16.7% of the outstanding New Volta Class B Common Stock;

•        the public shareholders will not own any shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        the New Private Placement Investors will own 30,000,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 21.4% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        the initial shareholders will own 8,625,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 6.2% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock; and

•        Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel, together with their affiliated entities, will collectively own 12,511,405shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 8.9% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock, and 9,524,027shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, or 83.3% of the outstanding New Volta Class B Common Stock and, assuming that the New Volta Class B Common Stock is not converted into Class A Common Stock, immediately following the completion of the Business Combination, taking into account all of their New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Class B Common Stock, Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will collectively control approximately 42.4% of the voting power of the capital stock of New Volta on a fully-diluted basis.

The ownership percentages with respect to New Volta set forth above do not take into account TortoiseCorp Warrants that will remain outstanding immediately following the Business Combination, but do include the Founder Shares, which will convert into New Volta Class A Common Stock upon an Initial Business Combination. If the facts are different than these assumptions, the percentage ownership retained by TortoiseCorp’s existing shareholders in New Volta following the Business Combination will be different. For example, if we assume that all outstanding 8,625,000 public warrants and 5,933,333 private placement warrants were exercisable and exercised following completion of the Business Combination and further assume that no public shareholders elect to have their public shares redeemed (and each other assumption set forth in the preceding paragraph remains the same), then the ownership of New Volta would be as follows:

•        the Historical Rollover Shareholders other than Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will own 88,728,871shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 47.0% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock, and 1,907,872shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, or approximately 16.7% of the outstanding New Volta Class B Common Stock;

•        the public shareholders will own 43,125,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 22.8% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        the New Private Placement Investors will own 30,000,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 15.9% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        the initial shareholders will own 14,558,333shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 7.7% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock; and

•        Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel, together with their affiliated entities, will collectively own 12,511,405shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 6.6% of the outstanding New

5

Volta Class A Common Stock, and 9,524,027shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, or 83.3% of the outstanding New Volta Class B Common Stock and, assuming that the New Volta Class B Common Stock is not converted into Class A Common Stock, immediately following the completion of the Business Combination, taking into account all of their New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Class B Common Stock, Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will collectively control approximately 35.5% of the voting power of the capital stock of New Volta on a fully-diluted basis.

The TortoiseCorp Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination (or any other Initial Business Combination) and (b) 12months from the closing of our IPO and will expire five years after the completion of an Initial Business Combination or earlier upon their redemption or liquidation.

Additionally, if we (a) assume (i) that no public shareholders elect to have their public shares redeemed, (ii) that there are no other issuances of equity interests of TortoiseCorp or Volta and no repurchases of Volta Restricted Stock, (iii) none of TortoiseCorp’s initial shareholders or the Historical Rollover Shareholders purchase Class A Ordinary Shares in the open market, (iv) the issuance of all 20,712,774shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock that will be reserved in respect of New Volta Options issued in exchange for outstanding pre-merger Volta Options and in respect of New Volta Warrants issued in exchange for outstanding pre-merger Volta Warrants and (v) the issuance of all 134,993shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock that will be reserved in respect of New Volta Options issued in exchange for outstanding pre-merger Volta Options and (b) do not take into account TortoiseCorp Warrants that will remain outstanding following the Business Combination and may be exercised at a later date, then the ownership of New Volta would be as follows:

•        the Historical Rollover Shareholders other than Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will own 108,936,646shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 55.8% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock, and 1,907,872shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, or approximately 16.5% of the outstanding New Volta Class B Common Stock;

•        the public shareholders will own 34,500,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 17.7% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        the New Private Placement Investors will own 30,000,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 15.4% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        the initial shareholders will own 8,625,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 4.4% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock; and

•        Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel, together with their affiliated entities, will collectively own 13,016,404shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 6.7% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock, and 9,659,020shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, or 83.5% of the outstanding New Volta Class B Common Stock and, assuming that the New Volta Class B Common Stock is not converted into Class A Common Stock, immediately following the completion of the Business Combination, taking into account all of their New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Class B Common Stock, Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will collectively control approximately 30.2% of the voting power of the capital stock of New Volta on a fully-diluted basis.

Please see the subsection and section entitled “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus — Ownership of New Volta After the Closing” and “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for further information.

Q:     Why is TortoiseCorp proposing the Domestication?

A:     The TortoiseCorp Board believes that there are significant advantages to TortoiseCorp’s shareholders that will arise as a result of a change of TortoiseCorp’s domicile to the State of Delaware. Further, the TortoiseCorp Board believes that any direct benefit that the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) provides to a corporation also indirectly benefits its shareholders, who are the owners of the corporation. The TortoiseCorp Board believes that there are several reasons why a reincorporation in Delaware is in the best interests of TortoiseCorp and its shareholders, including (a) the prominence, predictability and flexibility of the DGCL, (b) Delaware’s well-established principles of corporate governance and (c) the

6

increased ability for Delaware corporations to attract and retain qualified directors. Each of the foregoing are discussed in greater detail in the section entitled “Proposal No. 2 — The Domestication Proposal — Reasons for the Domestication.”

To effect the Domestication, TortoiseCorp will file a notice of deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and file the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which TortoiseCorp will be domesticated and continue as a Delaware corporation.

The approval of the Domestication Proposal is a condition to the Closing of the Business Combination under the Business Combination Agreement. The approval of the Domestication Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote (in person, online or by proxy) of holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and actually casting votes thereon at the extraordinary general meeting, voting as a single class. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

Q:     How will the Domestication affect my Ordinary Shares, TortoiseCorp Warrants and TortoiseCorp Units?

A:     As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication, prior to the Effective Time: (a) each then issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Share and each then issued and outstanding Class B Ordinary Share of TortoiseCorp will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of New Volta Class A Common Stock; (b) each then issued and outstanding TortoiseCorp Warrant will convert automatically into a New Volta Warrant to purchase one share of New Volta Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Warrant Agreement; (c) each then issued and outstanding TortoiseCorp Unit will convert automatically into a New Volta Unit, each consisting of one share of New Volta Class A Common Stock and one-fourth of one New Volta Warrant; (d) a dual class structure will be implemented and New Volta will be authorized to issue shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock that will carry voting rights in the form of ten votes per such share; and (e) after the Domestication, TortoiseCorp will immediately be renamed “Volta Inc.” For additional information about the Domestication, please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 2 — The Domestication Proposal” in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Q:     What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication?

A:     As discussed more fully below under the caption “The Business Combination — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders,” the Domestication should qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (a “Reorganization”). Section 367(b) of the Code, which applies to the domestication of a foreign corporation in certain Reorganizations and imposes U.S. federal income tax on certain U.S. persons in connection with transactions that otherwise would generally be tax-free, may apply with respect to U.S. Holders (as defined below) on the date of the Domestication. Consequently, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•        a U.S. Holder who, on the date of the Domestication, beneficially owns (actually or constructively, including as a result of the applicable attribution rules that would take into account such U.S. Holder’s ownership of TortoiseCorp Warrants) Class A Ordinary Shares with 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of TortoiseCorp shares entitled to vote or 10% or more of the total value of all classes of TortoiseCorp shares, generally will be required to include in income as a deemed dividend paid by TortoiseCorp the “all earnings and profits amount” attributable to such U.S. Holder, as discussed more fully below under the caption “The Business Combination — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — Effects of Section 367(b)”;

•        a U.S. Holder who, on the date of the Domestication, beneficially owns (actually or constructively, including as a result of the applicable attribution rules that would take into account such U.S. Holder’s ownership of TortoiseCorp Warrants) Class A Ordinary Shares with a fair market value of at least $50,000 (but less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of TortoiseCorp shares entitled to vote and less than 10% of the total value of all classes of TortoiseCorp shares) will recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to the Domestication or, in the alternative, may elect to recognize the

7

“all earnings and profits amount” attributable to such U.S. Holder, as discussed more fully below under the caption “The Business Combination — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — Effects of Section 367(b)”; and

•        a U.S. Holder who, on the date of the Domestication, beneficially owns (actually or constructively, including as a result of the applicable attribution rules that would take into account such U.S. Holder’s ownership of TortoiseCorp Warrants) Class A Ordinary Shares with a fair market value of less than $50,000 (as well as less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of TortoiseCorp shares entitled to vote and less than 10% of the total value of all classes of TortoiseCorp shares) generally should not be required to recognize any gain or loss in connection with the Domestication or to include any part of the “all earnings and profits amount” in income.

Further, the Domestication could be a taxable event for U.S. Holders under the “passive foreign investment company” (or “PFIC”) provisions of the Code. Because TortoiseCorp is a blank-check company with no current active business, based upon the composition of its income and assets, and upon review of its financial statements, TortoiseCorp believes that it may be considered a PFIC for the 2020 taxable year and may be considered a PFIC for its current taxable year (which is expected to end on the date of the Domestication).

If certain PFIC regulations were finalized (including retroactively after the date of the Domestication) in their currently proposed form, such U.S. Treasury regulations may require taxable gain recognition by a U.S. Holder with respect to its exchange of Class A Ordinary Shares and TortoiseCorp Warrants, as applicable, for New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Warrants in the Domestication if TortoiseCorp were classified as a PFIC at any time during such U.S. Holder’s holding period for such Class A Ordinary Shares or TortoiseCorp Warrants, as applicable. The tax on any such recognized gain would be imposed based on a complex set of computational rules. Such rules are discussed more fully below under the caption “The Business Combination — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.” However, a U.S. Holder may be able to avoid the PFIC gain and certain other tax consequences associated with PFIC status with respect to its Class A Ordinary Shares (but not its TortoiseCorp Warrants) if such U.S. Holder either (i) is eligible to and makes a timely and valid QEF Election (as defined and described below under the caption “The Business Combination — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules”) in the first taxable year in which such U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Class A Ordinary Shares and in which TortoiseCorp was classified as a PFIC or (ii) makes a Mark-to-Market Election (as defined and described below under the caption “The Business Combination — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules”) with respect to its Class A Ordinary Shares. Generally, neither election is available with respect to the TortoiseCorp Warrants.

TortoiseCorp does not expect the Domestication to result in any material U.S. federal income tax consequences to Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below). However, Non-U.S. Holders may become subject to U.S. federal income withholding taxes on any dividends paid (or deemed paid) in respect of such Non-U.S. Holder’s shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock after the Domestication.

The rules governing the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Domestication are complex and will depend on a holder’s particular circumstances. All holders of TortoiseCorp Public Securities are urged to consult with, and rely solely upon, their tax advisors regarding the potential tax consequences to them of the Domestication, including the effects of Section 367(b) of the Code, the application of the PFIC rules, and the tax consequences if the Domestication were to fail to qualify as a Reorganization. For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Domestication, see the discussion below under the caption “The Business Combination — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders.”

Q:     Why is TortoiseCorp proposing the NYSE Proposal?

A:     TortoiseCorp is proposing the NYSE Proposal in order to comply with NYSE listing rules, which require shareholder approval of certain transactions that result in the issuance of 20% or more of a company’s outstanding voting power or shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance of stock or securities. In connection with the Domestication, Business Combination and the Private Placement Financing, we may

8

issue up to an aggregate of 101,240,276shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock and 11,431,899shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock to the Historical Rollover Shareholders and the New Private Placement Investors. Because we may issue 20% or more of our outstanding voting power and outstanding Ordinary Shares in connection with the Business Combination and the Private Placement Financing, we are required to obtain shareholder approval of such issuances pursuant to NYSE listing rules. See the section entitled “Proposal No. 5 — The NYSE Proposal” for additional information.

Q:     Did the TortoiseCorp Board obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination?

A:     No. The TortoiseCorp Board did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with its determination to approve the Business Combination. TortoiseCorp’s officers and directors have experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of businesses and companies, as well as experience in mergers and acquisitions. In analyzing and evaluating the proposed Business Combination, TortoiseCorp’s officers and directors relied on their own general experience as well as certain sector experience and advice provided by advisors and consultants engaged by TortoiseCorp. Accordingly, investors should take into account, and are assuming the risk that, the TortoiseCorp Board, in relying on their own experience or the experience of TortoiseCorp’s officers, advisors and consultants, may not have properly valued the proposed Business Combination or Volta’s business.

Q:     What happens if I sell my Class A Ordinary Shares before the extraordinary general meeting?

A:     The record date for the extraordinary general meeting is earlier than the date that the Business Combination is expected to be completed. If you transfer your Class A Ordinary Shares after the record date, but before the extraordinary general meeting, unless the transferee obtains from you a proxy to vote those shares, you will retain your right to vote at the extraordinary general meeting. However, you will not be able to seek redemption of your Class A Ordinary Shares because you will no longer be able to deliver them for cancellation upon consummation of the Business Combination in accordance with the provisions described in this proxy statement/prospectus. If you transfer your Class A Ordinary Shares prior to the record date, you will have no right to vote those shares at the extraordinary general meeting or seek redemption of those shares.

Q:     How has the announcement of the Business Combination affected the trading price of the TortoiseCorp Units, Class A Ordinary Shares and public warrants?

A:     The closing price of the TortoiseCorp Units, Class A Ordinary Shares and public warrants on February5, 2021, the last trading day before announcement of the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, was $13.61, $12.64 and $3.50, respectively. On                       , 2021 the trading date immediately prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the TortoiseCorp Units, Class A Ordinary Shares and public warrants closed at $                       , $             and $             , respectively.

Q:     Following the Business Combination, will TortoiseCorp’s securities continue to trade on a stock exchange?

A:     Yes. We anticipate that, following the Business Combination, the New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Warrants will continue trading on the NYSE under the new symbols “VLTA” and “VLTA WS,” respectively. Our units will automatically separate into the component securities upon consummation of the Business Combination and, as a result, will no longer trade as a separate security following the Business Combination.

Q:     What vote is required to approve the Proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting?

A:     The approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, the NYSE Proposal, the 2021 Plan Proposal, the Founder Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal, the Director Election Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote (in person, online or by proxy) of the holders of a majority of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and actually casting votes thereon at the extraordinary general meeting, voting as a single class. Under the Existing Organizational Documents, only the holders of Class B Ordinary Shares are entitled to vote on the election of directors and therefore the Director Election Proposal. Approval of the Domestication Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote (in person, online or by proxy) of the

9

holders of at least two-thirds of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and actually casting votes thereon at the extraordinary general meeting, voting as a single class. Accordingly, a shareholder’s failure to vote in person, online or by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on any of the Proposals. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

Q:     May the Sponsor or TortoiseCorp’s directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates purchase public shares in connection with the Business Combination?

A:     In connection with the shareholder vote to approve the proposed Business Combination, our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates may privately negotiate transactions to purchase public shares from shareholders who would have otherwise elected to have their shares redeemed in conjunction with the Business Combination for a per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. There is no limit on the number of public shares our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates may purchase in such transactions, subject to compliance with applicable law and the rules of the NYSE. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are in excess of the per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. However, our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors and their respective affiliates have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds in the Trust Account will be used to purchase public shares in such transactions. None of our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates will make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller of such public shares or during a restricted period under Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Such a purchase could include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record holder of such public shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights, and could include a contractual provision that directs such shareholder to vote such shares in a manner directed by the purchaser. In the event that our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates purchase public shares in privately negotiated transactions from public shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are in excess of the per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. For more information, see the subsection entitled “The Business Combination — Potential Purchases of Public Shares.”

Q:     How many votes do I have at the extraordinary general meeting?

A:     Our shareholders are entitled to one vote at the extraordinary general meeting for each Class A Ordinary Share or Class B Ordinary Share held of record as of                           , 2021, the record date for the extraordinary general meeting. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 34,500,000 outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares, which are held by our public shareholders, and 8,625,000 outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares, which are held by our initial shareholders.

Q:     What constitutes a quorum at the extraordinary general meeting?

A:     Holders of a majority in voting power of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, present in person, online or by proxy, constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the chairman of the meeting has the power to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting. As of the record date for the extraordinary general meeting, 21,562,501 Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares, in the aggregate, would be required to achieve a quorum. Abstentions will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum with respect to each Proposal.

Q:     How will our Sponsor, directors and officers vote?

A:     Our Sponsor, directors and officers have agreed to vote any Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares owned by them in favor of the Business Combination and the other Proposals. Currently, they own approximately 20% of our issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares, in the aggregate. Please see the subsection entitled “The Business Combination — Related Agreements — Sponsor Letter.”

10

Q:     What interests do the current officers and directors have in the Business Combination?

A:     When you consider the TortoiseCorp Board’s recommendation of the Proposals, you should keep in mind that our directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of other shareholders generally. Our directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the Business Combination, and in recommending to shareholders that they approve the Business Combination. Shareholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination. See the subsection entitled “The Business Combination — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” for additional information. The TortoiseCorp Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in recommending that TortoiseCorp shareholders vote “FOR” each of the Proposals. These interests include, among other things:

•        the fact that an affiliate of our Sponsor holds 5,933,333 private placement warrants that would expire worthless if an Initial Business Combination is not consummated;

•        the fact that our Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed not to redeem any Class A Ordinary Shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve the Business Combination;

•        the fact that our Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for the Founder Shares, including 105,000 Founder Shares which were subsequently transferred to our independent directors, and that such securities will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination, which if unrestricted and freely tradable would be valued at approximately $                        , based on the closing price of our Class A Ordinary Shares of $                         per share on                         , 2021;

•        if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event we are unable to complete an Initial Business Combination within the required time period, our Sponsor has agreed to indemnify us to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 per public share, or such lesser amount per public share as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of (a) any third party (other than our independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to us or (b) a prospective target business with which we have entered into a letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, but only if such a third party or target business has not executed a waiver of all rights to seek access to the Trust Account;

•        the anticipated continuation of Vincent T. Cubbage as a director after the Business Combination;

•        the fact that our independent directors own an aggregate of 105,000 Founder Shares that were transferred from our Sponsor, which if unrestricted and freely tradeable would be valued at approximately $                      , based on the closing price of our Class A Ordinary Shares of $                           per share on                          , 2021;

•        the fact that our Sponsor, officers and directors will be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations; and

•        the fact that our Sponsor, officers and directors will lose their entire investment in us if an Initial Business Combination is not completed.

Q:     What happens if I vote against the Business Combination Proposal?

A:     Under the Existing Organizational Documents, if the Business Combination Proposal is not approved and we do not otherwise consummate an alternative Initial Business Combination within 24months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or 27months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering if we have executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an Initial Business Combination within 24months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering but have not completed an Initial Business Combination within such 24-month period (the “Combination Period”), we will be required to dissolve and liquidate the Trust Account by returning the then-remaining funds in such account to our public shareholders.

11

Q:     Do I have redemption rights?

A:     Pursuant to the Existing Organizational Documents, a public shareholder may request that TortoiseCorp redeem all or a portion of its public shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. As a holder of public shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

•        hold public shares or, if you hold public shares through TortoiseCorp Units, you elect to separate your TortoiseCorp Units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares;

•        submit a written request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, TortoiseCorp’s transfer agent, in which you (i) request that New Volta redeem all or a portion of your public shares for cash, and (ii) identify yourself as the beneficial holder of the public shares and provide your legal name, phone number and address; and

•        deliver your public shares to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, TortoiseCorp’s transfer agent, physically or electronically through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).

Holders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their public shares in the manner described above prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on, 2021 (two business days before the extraordinary general meeting) in order for their shares to be redeemed.

Holders of TortoiseCorp Units must elect to separate the TortoiseCorp Units into the underlying Class A Ordinary Shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If public shareholders hold their TortoiseCorp Units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, such public shareholders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants, or if a holder holds TortoiseCorp Units registered in its own name, the holder must contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, TortoiseCorp’s transfer agent, directly and instruct it to do so. The redemption rights include the requirement that a holder must identify itself to TortoiseCorp in order to validly redeem its shares. Public shareholders (other than the initial shareholders) may elect to redeem their public shares even if they vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the public shares will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank. If the Business Combination is consummated, and if a public shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the public shares that it holds and timely delivers its shares to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, New Volta will redeem such public shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the Trust Account relating to such public shares, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, as of December31, 2020, this would have amounted to $10.00 per issued and outstanding public share. If a public shareholder exercises its redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its public shares for cash and will no longer own public shares. The redemption will take place following the Domestication and, accordingly, it is shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock that will be redeemed immediately after consummation of the Business Combination. See the subsection entitled “Extraordinary General Meeting — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your shares for cash.

Q:     Will how I vote affect my ability to exercise redemption rights?

A:     No. You may exercise your redemption rights whether you vote your Class A Ordinary Shares for or against or abstain from voting on the Business Combination Proposal or any other Proposal described in this proxy statement/prospectus. As a result, the Business Combination can be approved by shareholders who will redeem their shares and no longer remain shareholders.

Q:     How do I exercise my redemption rights?

A:     In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must (a) if you hold your Class A Ordinary Shares through TortoiseCorp Units, elect to separate your TortoiseCorp Units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares and (b) prior to 5:00 p.m.,

12

Eastern time, on                         , 2021 (two business days before the extraordinary general meeting), tender your shares physically or electronically and submit a request in writing that we redeem your public shares for cash to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent, at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
1 State Street, 30th Floor
New York, New York 10004-1561
Attention: Mark Zimkind
Email: mzimkind@continentalstock.com

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public shareholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to his, her or its shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s shares, in excess of the 20% threshold. Accordingly, all public shares in excess of the 20% threshold beneficially owned by a public shareholder or group will not be redeemed for cash. In order to determine whether a shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with any other shareholder, TortoiseCorp will require each public shareholder seeking to exercise redemption rights to certify to TortoiseCorp whether such shareholder is acting in concert or as a group with any other shareholder. Shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent and time to effect delivery. It is our understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, we do not have any control over this process and it may take longer than two weeks. Shareholders who hold their shares in street name will have to coordinate with their bank, broker or other nominee to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically.

Holders of outstanding TortoiseCorp Units must separate the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If you hold TortoiseCorp Units registered in your own name, you must deliver the certificate for such units or deliver such units electronically to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company with written instructions to separate such units into public shares and public warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit the mailing of the public share certificates or electronic delivery of the public shares back to you so that you may then exercise your redemption rights with respect to the public shares following the separation of such public shares from the units.

If a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee holds your TortoiseCorp Units, you must instruct such nominee to separate your TortoiseCorp Units. Your nominee must send written instructions by facsimile to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. Such written instructions must include the number of TortoiseCorp Units to be split and the nominee holding such TortoiseCorp Units. Your nominee must also initiate electronically, using DTC’s DWAC (deposit withdrawal at custodian) system, a withdrawal of the relevant TortoiseCorp Units and a deposit of the corresponding number of public shares and public warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit your nominee to exercise your redemption rights with respect to the public shares following the separation of such public shares from the TortoiseCorp Units. While this is typically done electronically on the same business day, you should allow at least one full business day to accomplish the separation. If you fail to cause your public shares to be separated in a timely manner, you will likely not be able to exercise your redemption rights.

Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with our consent, until the vote is taken with respect to the Business Combination. If you delivered your shares for redemption to the transfer agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that the transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting our transfer agent at the email address or address listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

Q:     What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights?

A:     The receipt of cash by a U.S. Holder of New Volta Class A Common Stock in redemption of such stock will be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Please see the discussion below under the caption “The Business Combination — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income

13

Taxation of U.S. Holders — Redemption of New Volta Class A Common Stock” for additional information. U.S. Holders of New Volta Class A Common Stock considering the exercise of their redemption rights should consult with, and rely solely upon, their own tax advisors with respect to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising such redemption rights.

Additionally, because the Domestication will occur immediately prior to the redemption of U.S. Holders that exercise redemption rights with respect to their New Volta Class A Common Stock, U.S. Holders exercising their redemption rights with respect to their New Volta Class A Common Stock will be subject to the potential tax consequences of the Domestication, including the effects of Section 367(b) of the Code and the application of the PFIC rules to the Domestication. The tax considerations with respect to the Domestication are discussed more fully below under the caption “The Business Combination — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders.”

All holders of TortoiseCorp Public Securities considering exercising their redemption rights with respect to their New Volta Class A Common Stock are urged to consult with, and rely solely upon, their tax advisors with respect to the potential tax consequences to them of the Domestication and the exercise of their redemption rights.

Q:     If I am a warrant holder, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my warrants?

A:     No. The holders of TortoiseCorp Warrants have no redemption rights with respect to such warrants.

Q:     Do I have appraisal rights if I object to the proposed Business Combination?

A:     No. There are no appraisal rights available to holders of Class A Ordinary Shares, Class B Ordinary Shares or TortoiseCorp Warrants in connection with the Business Combination or Domestication under Cayman Islands law or the DGCL.

Q:     What happens to the funds deposited in the Trust Account after consummation of the Business Combination?

A:     If the Business Combination Proposal is approved, we intend to use a portion of the funds held in the Trust Account to pay (a) any transaction costs associated with the Business Combination Agreement and Business Combination, (b) taxes and deferred underwriting discounts and commissions from the IPO and (c) for any redemptions of public shares. The remaining balance in the Trust Account, together with Private Placement Funds, will be used for general corporate purposes of New Volta. See the section entitled “The Business Combination” for additional information.

Q:     What happens if the Business Combination is not consummated or is terminated?

A:     There are certain circumstances under which the Business Combination Agreement may be terminated. See the subsection entitled “The Business Combination — Termination” for additional information regarding the parties’ specific termination rights. In accordance with the Existing Organizational Documents, if an Initial Business Combination is not consummated within the Combination Period, we will (a) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (b) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (c) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and the TortoiseCorp Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case of (b) and (c) above to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law.

14

We expect that the amount of any distribution our public shareholders will be entitled to receive upon our dissolution will be approximately the same as the amount they would have received if they had redeemed their shares in connection with the Business Combination, subject in each case to our obligations under the Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. Holders of our Founder Shares have waived any right to any liquidating distributions with respect to those shares.

In the event of liquidation, there will be no distribution with respect to the outstanding TortoiseCorp Warrants. Accordingly, the TortoiseCorp Warrants will expire worthless.

Q:     When is the Business Combination expected to be consummated?

A:     It is currently anticipated that the Business Combination will be consummated promptly following the extraordinary general meeting to be held on                         , 2021, provided that all the requisite shareholder approvals are obtained and other conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination have been satisfied or waived. For a description of the conditions for the completion of the Business Combination, see the subsection entitled “The Business Combination — Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination Agreement.”

Q:     What do I need to do now?

A:     You are urged to read carefully and consider the information included in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the section entitled “Risk Factors” and the annexes attached to this proxy statement/prospectus, and to consider how the Business Combination will affect you as a shareholder. You should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement/prospectus and on the enclosed proxy card or, if you hold your shares through a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, on the voting instruction form provided by the broker, bank or nominee.

Q:     How do I vote?

A:     If you were a holder of record of Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares on                          , 2021, the record date for the extraordinary general meeting, you may vote with respect to the Proposals in person or online at the virtual extraordinary general meeting or by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the extraordinary general meeting and vote in person or online, obtain a proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.

Q:     What will happen if I abstain from voting or fail to vote at the extraordinary general meeting?

A:     At the extraordinary general meeting, we will count a properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” with respect to a particular proposal as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. For purposes of approval, failure to vote or an abstention will have no effect on the Proposals.

Q:     What will happen if I sign and submit my proxy card without indicating how I wish to vote?

A:     Signed and dated proxies received by us without an indication of how the shareholder intends to vote on a proposal will be voted “FOR” each Proposal being submitted to a vote of the shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting.

Q:     If I am not going to attend the extraordinary general meeting in person or online, should I submit my proxy card instead?

A:     Yes. Whether you plan to attend the extraordinary general meeting or not, please read this proxy statement/prospectus carefully, and vote your shares by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided.

15

Q:     If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?

A:     No. Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to non-discretionary matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or nominee. We believe the Proposals presented to our shareholders will be considered non-discretionary and therefore your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction. Your bank, broker or other nominee can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with directions you provide.

Q:     May I change my vote after I have submitted my executed proxy card?

A:     Yes. You may change your vote by sending a later-dated, signed proxy card to us at the address listed below so that it is received by us prior to the extraordinary general meeting or by attending the extraordinary general meeting and voting in person or online. You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to us, which must be received prior to the extraordinary general meeting.

Q:     What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

A:     You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/prospectus and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction forms. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction form for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction form that you receive in order to cast your vote with respect to all of your shares.

Q:     Who can help answer my questions?

A:     If you have questions about the Proposals or if you need additional copies of the proxy statement/prospectus or the enclosed proxy card you should contact our proxy solicitor at:

Morrow Sodali LLC
470 West Avenue
Stamford, Connecticut 06902

Parties to the Business Combination

Tortoise Acquisition Corp. II

TortoiseCorp is a Cayman Islands exempted company formed on July24, 2020 for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination involving TortoiseCorp and one or more businesses. Upon the Closing, we intend to change our name from “Tortoise Acquisition Corp. II” to “Volta Inc.”

Our Class A Ordinary Shares, public warrants and TortoiseCorp Units, consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share and one-fourth of one warrant, are traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbols “SNPR,” “SNPR WS” and “SNPR.U,” respectively. We have applied to continue the listing of the New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Warrants on the NYSE under the symbols “VLTA” and “VLTA WS” respectively, upon the Closing. The New Volta Units will automatically separate into the component securities upon consummation of the Business Combination and, as a result, will no longer trade as a separate security.

The mailing address of TortoiseCorp’s principal executive office is 5100 W. 115th Place, Leawood, KS 66211, and our telephone number is (913) 981-1020.

Volta Industries, Inc.

Founded in 2010 by Scott Mercer, its Founder and Chief Executive Officer, and Christopher Wendel, who subsequently joined Volta as co-founder and President, Volta primarily owns, operates and maintains EV charging stations and has expanded its network across the United States to include more than 1,600 chargers across 23 territories and states that have generated over 140,000 charging sessions per month on average for the 12months ended December31, 2020, forming one of the most utilized charging station networks in the United States. To take advantage of the expected growth opportunity presented by the EV market, which we define as delivering the most value for its commercial partners, Volta intends to rapidly expand its network of charging stations, using its proprietary data-driven planning tools to identify high-traffic, high visibility site partner locations that it believes would benefit most from its EV charging solutions, garner the highest usage from Volta’s driving community.

Volta’s business entails partnering with real estate and retail partners with national and regional multi-site portfolios of commercial and retail properties, as well as municipalities and local business owners, to locate and deploy its EV charging stations in premier locations. The site hosts Volta partners with span a wide array of industries and locations, including retail centers, grocery stores, pharmacies, movie theaters, parking lots, healthcare/medical facilities, municipalities, sport and entertainment venues, parks and recreation areas, restaurants, schools and universities, certain transit and fueling locations and office buildings and other locations. Volta signs long-term contracts for properties and grows its footprint over time as its station utilization justifies further capital investment in its EV charging infrastructure. Unique to Volta’s model, its network has the ability to draw on several sources of revenue to build earlier and higher unit economics than other solutions currently available in the market, by tapping into multiple commercial opportunities at any given site: a unique sponsorship asset, real-estate partners’ investment considerations and ultimately, user and network fees.

For more information about Volta, see the sections entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Volta” and “Information About Volta” and the financial statements of Volta included herein.

The Domestication

As a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination, the TortoiseCorp Board has unanimously approved a change of TortoiseCorp’s jurisdiction of incorporation by deregistering as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and continuing and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”).

As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication, prior to the Effective Time: (a) each then issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Share and each then issued and outstanding Class B Ordinary Share will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of New Volta Class A Common Stock; (b) each then issued and outstanding TortoiseCorp Warrant will convert automatically into a New Volta Warrant pursuant to the Warrant Agreement; (c) each then issued and outstanding TortoiseCorp Unit will convert automatically into a New Volta Unit, each consisting of one share of New Volta Class A Common Stock and one-fourth of one New Volta Warrant; (d) a dual class structure will be implemented and New Volta will be authorized to issue shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock that will carry voting rights in the form of ten votes per such share; and (e) after the Domestication, TortoiseCorp will immediately be renamed “Volta Inc.” For additional information about the Domestication, please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 2 — The Domestication Proposal.”

The Business Combination

On February7, 2021, we entered into the Business Combination Agreement with First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub and Volta. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, First Merger Sub will merge with and into Volta, with Volta surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Volta and as soon as practicable, but in any event within three days following the Effective Time, Volta (as the surviving entity of the First Merger) will merge with and into Second Merger Sub, with Second Merger Sub surviving the Second Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Volta.

Immediately prior to the Effective Time and subject to receipt of the requisite approval of Volta’s stockholders, Volta will cause each share of Volta Preferred Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time to be automatically converted into shares of Volta Class B Common Stock at the then-effective conversion rate in accordance with the terms of the Volta Charter. Following the Conversion, there will be no outstanding shares of Volta Preferred Stock and each holder of Volta Preferred Stock will thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such securities.

At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Business Combination and without any action on the part of TortoiseCorp, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, Volta or the holders of any of Volta’s securities:

•        each share of Volta Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including shares of Volta Class B Common Stock resulting from the Conversion, but excluding shares of Volta Restricted Stock) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the number of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio;

•        each share of Volta Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding shares of Volta Restricted Stock) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the number of shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio;

•        all shares of Volta Common Stock and Volta Preferred Stock held in the treasury of Volta will be cancelled without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution will be made with respect thereto;

•        each share of First Merger Sub Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the surviving entity of the First Merger;

•        each Volta Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically converted into a warrant to purchase a number of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of Volta Common Stock subject to such Volta Warrant and (b) the Exchange Ratio, rounding down to the nearest whole number of shares, at an exercise price per share equal to (i) the exercise price per share for the shares of Volta Common Stock subject to such Volta Warrant divided by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, rounding up to the nearest whole cent;

19

•        each share of Volta Restricted Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into an award of a number of restricted shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Class B Common Stock, as applicable (each, a share of “New Volta Restricted Stock”), equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of Volta Restricted Stock subject to such award and (b) the Exchange Ratio (which award will remain subject to the same vesting and repurchase terms as such Volta Restricted Stock, except that any per share repurchase price applicable to such New Volta Restricted Stock shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the per share repurchase price applicable to the Volta Restricted Stock by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest cent);

•        each Volta Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically converted into a New Volta Option to purchase a number of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Class B Common Stock, as applicable, equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of Volta Common Stock subject to such Volta Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (b) the Exchange Ratio, rounding down to the nearest whole number of shares, at an exercise price per share equal to (i) the exercise price per share for the shares of Volta Common Stock subject to such Volta Option divided by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, rounding up to the nearest whole cent (which option will remain subject to the same vesting terms as such Volta Option); and

•        each Volta Non-Plan Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, in Volta’s sole discretion, either (i) be automatically cancelled for no consideration as of the Effective Time, or (ii) automatically, without any action on the part of the holder thereof or Volta and effective as of the Effective Time, be assumed and converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of Volta Common Stock subject to such Volta Non-Plan Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (b) the Exchange Ratio, rounding down to the nearest whole number of shares, at an exercise price per share equal to (i) the exercise price per share for the shares of Volta Common Stock subject to such Volta Non-Plan Option divided by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, rounding up to the nearest whole cent (which option will remain subject to the same vesting terms as such Volta Non-Plan Option).

Regulatory Matters

Under the HSR Act and rules that have been promulgated thereunder by the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), certain transactions may not be consummated unless information has been furnished to the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “Antitrust Division”) and the FTC and certain waiting period requirements have been satisfied. The Business Combination is subject to these requirements and may not be completed until the expiration or early termination of the 30-day waiting period following the parties’ submission of Notification and Report Forms with the Antitrust Division and the FTC. On February22, 2021, the parties filed the required forms under the HSR Act with respect to the Business Combination with the Antitrust Division and the FTC and requested early termination. The waiting period expired on March24, 2021 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time.

At any time before or after consummation of the Business Combination, notwithstanding expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, the Antitrust Division or the FTC, or any state or foreign governmental authority could take such action under applicable antitrust laws as such authority deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking to enjoin the consummation of the Business Combination, conditionally approving the Business Combination upon divestiture of assets, subjecting the completion of the Business Combination to regulatory conditions or seeking other remedies. Private parties may also seek to take legal action under the antitrust laws under certain circumstances. TortoiseCorp cannot assure you that the Antitrust Division, the FTC, any state attorney general or any other governmental authority will not attempt to challenge the Business Combination on antitrust grounds, and, if such a challenge is made, TortoiseCorp cannot assure you as to its result.

Neither TortoiseCorp nor Volta is aware of any material regulatory approvals or actions that are required for completion of the Business Combination other than as required under the HSR Act. It is presently contemplated that if any additional regulatory approvals or actions are required, those approvals or actions will be sought. There can be no assurance, however, that any such additional approvals or actions will be obtained.

Related Agreements

Stockholder Support Agreement

On February7, 2021, TortoiseCorp, Volta and the Written Consent Parties entered into a Stockholder Support Agreement (the “Stockholder Support Agreement”), pursuant to which the Written Consent Parties agreed to vote all of their shares of Volta Common Stock and Volta Preferred Stock in favor of the approval and adoption of

22

the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination, including agreeing to execute the Written Consent within 48 hours of the Registration Statement becoming effective. Additionally, such Written Consent Parties agreed, among other things, not to, prior to the Effective Time, (a) transfer any of their shares of Volta Common Stock and Volta Preferred Stock (or enter into any arrangement with respect thereto), subject to certain customary exceptions, or (b) enter into any voting arrangement that is inconsistent with the Stockholder Support Agreement. The Stockholder Support Agreement will terminate upon the earlier to occur of: (a) the Effective Time, (b) the date of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms and (c) the effective date of a written agreement of TortoiseCorp and the Written Consent Parties terminating the Stockholder Support Agreement.

A&R Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Closing, that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated September10, 2020, among TortoiseCorp and certain persons and entities holding securities of TortoiseCorp (the “IPO Registration Rights Agreement”), will be amended and restated and TortoiseCorp, certain persons and entities holding securities of TortoiseCorp prior to the Closing (the “Initial Holders”) and certain persons and entities receiving New Volta Class A Common Stock or instruments exercisable for New Volta Class A Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination (the “New Holders” and, together with the Initial Holders, the “Registration Rights Holders”) will enter into an amended and restated registration rights agreement substantially in the form attached to the Business Combination Agreement as Exhibit A (the “A&R Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, New Volta will agree that, within 30 calendar days after the consummation of the Business Combination, New Volta will file with the SEC (at New Volta’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of certain securities held by or issuable to the Registration Rights Holders (the “Resale Registration Statement”), and New Volta will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to have the Resale Registration Statement declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof. In certain circumstances, certain of the Registration Rights Holders can demand up to three underwritten offerings, and all of the Registration Rights Holders will be entitled to customary piggyback registration rights. The A&R Registration Rights Agreement does not provide for the payment of any cash penalties by New Volta if it fails to satisfy any of its obligations under the A&R Registration Rights Agreement.

Lock-Up Agreements

On February7, 2021, the founders of Volta entered into a Lock-Up Agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”) with TortoiseCorp and Volta, pursuant to which they agreed, subject to certain customary exceptions, not to effect any (a) direct or indirect sale, assignment, pledge, hypothecation, disposition, loan or other transfer, or entry into any agreement with respect to any sale, assignment, pledge, hypothecation, disposition, loan or other transfer, with respect to any shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Class B Common Stock held by them immediately after the Effective Time, including any shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Class B Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of New Volta Options or New Volta Warrants to purchase shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Class B Common Stock held by them immediately following the Closing or (b) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (a), in each case, until the date that is the earlier of (i) one year after the Closing Date and (ii) the earlier to occur of, subsequent to the Closing Date, (x) the first date on which the last reported sale price of the New Volta Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as equitably adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing and (y) the date on which there is consummated a subsequent liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of New Volta’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock for cash, securities or other property.

The Proposed Bylaws will include transfer restrictions on the New Volta securities issued to Volta stockholders in connection with the First Merger, including New Volta securities issued upon the settlement or exercise of New Volta Restricted Stock or New Volta Options that were automatically converted from equity awards of Volta outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, for a period of six months after the Closing.

23

Sponsor Letter

On February7, 2021, the initial shareholders entered into a letter agreement (the “Sponsor Letter”) with TortoiseCorp and Volta pursuant to which, among other things, the initial shareholders agreed to (a) waive the anti-dilution rights set forth in Article 17.3 of the Existing Organizational Documents, (b) comply with the non-solicitation provisions in the Business Combination Agreement and (c) vote all Ordinary Shares held by them in favor of the adoption and approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination.

Private Placement Financing

On February7, 2021, TortoiseCorp entered into separate subscription agreements (each a “Subscription Agreement” and collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”) with each of the New Private Placement Investors, pursuant to which the New Private Placement Investors agreed to purchase, and TortoiseCorp agreed to sell to the New Private Placement Investors, an aggregate of 30,000,000 Private Placement Shares for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $300,000,000, in the Private Placement Financing.

The closing of the sale of the Private Placement Shares pursuant to the Subscription Agreements will take place substantially concurrently with the Closing and is contingent upon, among other customary closing conditions, the subsequent consummation of the Business Combination. The purpose of the Private Placement Financing is to raise additional capital for use by the post-combination company following the Closing.

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, TortoiseCorp agreed that, within 30 calendar days after the consummation of the Business Combination, New Volta will file with the SEC (at New Volta’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Private Placement Shares (the “Private Placement Resale Registration Statement”), and New Volta will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Private Placement Resale Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (a) 60 calendar days (or 90 calendar days if the SEC notifies New Volta that it will review the Private Placement Resale Registration Statement) following the Closing and (b) the tenth business day after the SEC notifies New Volta that the Private Placement Resale Registration Statement will not be reviewed or will not be subject to further review.

For more information about the Subscription Agreements, see the subsection entitled “The Business Combination — Related Agreements — Private Placement Financing.”

Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination

Interests of Sponsor and TortoiseCorp Directors and Officers

In considering the recommendation of the TortoiseCorp Board to vote in favor of the Business Combination, shareholders should be aware that, aside from their interests as shareholders, our Sponsor and certain of our directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of other shareholders generally. Our directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the Business Combination, and in recommending to shareholders that they approve the Business Combination. Shareholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination. These interests include, among other things:

•        the fact that an affiliate of our Sponsor holds 5,933,333 private placement warrants that would expire worthless if an Initial Business Combination is not consummated;

•        the fact that our Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed not to redeem any Class A Ordinary Shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve the Business Combination;

•        the fact that our Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for the Founder Shares, including 105,000 Founder Shares which were subsequently transferred to our independent directors, and that such securities will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination, which if unrestricted and freely tradable would be valued at approximately $        , based on the closing price of our Class A Ordinary Shares of $        per share on        , 2021;

24

•        if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event we are unable to complete an Initial Business Combination within the required time period, our Sponsor has agreed to indemnify us to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 per public share, or such lesser amount per public share as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of (a) any third party (other than our independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to us or (b) a prospective target business with which we have entered into a letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, but only if such a third party or target business has not executed a waiver of all rights to seek access to the Trust Account;

•        the anticipated continuation of Vincent T. Cubbage as a director after the Business Combination;

•        the fact that our independent directors own an aggregate of 105,000 Founder Shares that were transferred from our Sponsor, which if unrestricted and freely tradeable would be valued at approximately $        , based on the closing price of our Class A Ordinary Shares of $        per share on        , 2021;

•        the fact that our Sponsor, officers and directors will be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations; and

•        the fact that our Sponsor, officers and directors will lose their entire investment in us if an Initial Business Combination is not completed.

Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

After careful consideration, the TortoiseCorp Board recommends that our shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Business Combination Proposal.

For a more complete description of our reasons for the approval of the Business Combination and the recommendation of the TortoiseCorp Board, see the subsections entitled “The Business Combination — The TortoiseCorp Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination.”

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to the Existing Organizational Documents, a public shareholder may request that TortoiseCorp redeem all or a portion of its public shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. As a holder of public shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

•        hold public shares or, if you hold public shares through TortoiseCorp Units, you elect to separate your TortoiseCorp Units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares;

•        submit a written request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, TortoiseCorp’s transfer agent, in which you (i) request that New Volta redeem all or a portion of your public shares for cash, and (ii) identify yourself as the beneficial holder of the public shares and provide your legal name, phone number and address; and

•        deliver your public shares to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, TortoiseCorp’s transfer agent, physically or electronically through the DTC.

Holders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their public shares in the manner described above prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on         , 2021 (two business days before the extraordinary general meeting) in order for their shares to be redeemed.

Holders of TortoiseCorp Units must elect to separate the TortoiseCorp Units into the underlying Class A Ordinary Shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If public shareholders hold their TortoiseCorp Units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, such public shareholders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the TortoiseCorp Units into the underlying public shares and public warrants, or if a holder holds TortoiseCorp Units registered in its own name, the holder

25

must contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, TortoiseCorp’s transfer agent, directly and instruct it to do so. The redemption rights include the requirement that a holder must identify itself to TortoiseCorp in order to validly redeem its shares. Public shareholders (other than the initial shareholders) may elect to redeem their public shares even if they vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the public shares will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank. If the Business Combination is consummated, and if a public shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the public shares that it holds and timely delivers its shares to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, New Volta will redeem such public shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the Trust Account relating to such public shares, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, as of December31, 2020, this would have amounted to $10.00 per issued and outstanding public share. Each redemption of Class A Ordinary Shares by our public shareholders will decrease the amount in our Trust Account. In no event will we redeem public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. If a public shareholder exercises its redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its public shares for cash and will no longer own public shares. The redemption will take place following the Domestication and, accordingly, it is shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock that will be redeemed immediately after consummation of the Business Combination. See the subsection entitled “Extraordinary General Meeting — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your shares for cash.

Ownership of New Volta After the Closing

We anticipate that, upon completion of the Business Combination, the ownership of New Volta will be as follows:

•        the Historical Rollover Shareholders other than Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will own 88,728,871shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 50.9% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock, and 1,907,872shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, or approximately 16.7% of the outstanding New Volta Class B Common Stock;

•        the public shareholders will own 34,500,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 19.8% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        the New Private Placement Investors will own 30,000,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 17.2% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        the initial shareholders will own 8,625,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 4.9% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock; and

•        Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel, together with their affiliated entities, will collectively own 12,511,405shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 7.2% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock, and 9,524,027shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, or 83.3% of the outstanding New Volta Class B Common Stock and, assuming that the New Volta Class B Common Stock is not converted into Class A Common Stock, immediately following the completion of the Business Combination, taking into account all of their New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Class B Common Stock, Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will collectively control approximately 37.3% of the voting power of the capital stock of New Volta on a fully-diluted basis.

The number of shares and the interests set forth above (a) assume (i) that no public shareholders elect to have their public shares redeemed, (ii) that there are no other issuances of equity interests of TortoiseCorp or Volta and no repurchases of Volta Restricted Stock, (iii) none of TortoiseCorp’s initial shareholders or the Historical Rollover Shareholders purchase Class A Ordinary Shares in the open market and (iv) that there are no exercises of Volta Options or Volta Warrants and (b) do not take into account TortoiseCorp Warrants that will remain outstanding following the Business Combination and may be exercised at a later date. As a result of the Business Combination, the economic and voting interests of our public shareholders will decrease. If we assume the maximum redemptions scenario described under the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial

26

Information — Note 1 — Basis of Presentation,” i.e., 34,500,000 public shares are redeemed, and the assumptions set forth in the foregoing clauses (a)(ii)–(iv) and (b) remain true, the ownership of New Volta upon completion of the Business Combination will be as follows:

•        the Historical Rollover Shareholders other than Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will own 88,728,871shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 63.4% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock, and 1,907,872shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, or approximately 16.7% of the outstanding New Volta Class B Common Stock;

•        the public shareholders will not own any shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        the New Private Placement Investors will own 30,000,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 21.4% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        the initial shareholders will own 8,625,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 6.2% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock; and

•        Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel, together with their affiliated entities, will collectively own 12,511,405shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 8.9% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock, and 9,524,027shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, or 83.3% of the outstanding New Volta Class B Common Stock and, assuming that the New Volta Class B Common Stock is not converted into Class A Common Stock, immediately following the completion of the Business Combination, taking into account all of their New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Class B Common Stock, Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will collectively control approximately 42.4% of the voting power of the capital stock of New Volta on a fully-diluted basis.

The ownership percentages with respect to New Volta set forth above do not take into account TortoiseCorp Warrants that will remain outstanding immediately following the Business Combination, but do include the Founder Shares, which will convert into New Volta Class A Common Stock upon an Initial Business Combination. If the facts are different than these assumptions, the percentage ownership retained by TortoiseCorp’s existing shareholders in New Volta following the Business Combination will be different. For example, if we assume that all outstanding 8,625,000 public warrants and 5,933,333 private placement warrants were exercisable and exercised following completion of the Business Combination and further assume that no public shareholders elect to have their public shares redeemed (and each other assumption set forth in the preceding paragraph remains the same), then the ownership of New Volta would be as follows:

•        the Historical Rollover Shareholders other than Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will own 88,728,871shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 47.0% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock, and 1,907,872shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, or approximately 16.7% of the outstanding New Volta Class B Common Stock;

•        the public shareholders will own 43,125,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 22.8% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        the New Private Placement Investors will own 30,000,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 15.9% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        the initial shareholders will own 14,558,333shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 7.7% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock; and

•        Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel, together with their affiliated entities, will collectively own 12,511,405shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 6.6% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock, and 9,524,027shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, or 83.3% of the outstanding New Volta Class B Common Stock and, assuming that the New Volta Class B Common Stock is not converted into Class A Common Stock, immediately following the completion of the Business Combination, taking into account all of their New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Class B Common Stock, Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will collectively control approximately 35.5% of the voting power of the capital stock of New Volta on a fully-diluted basis.

27

The TortoiseCorp Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination (or any other Initial Business Combination) and (b) 12months from the closing of our IPO and will expire five years after the completion of an Initial Business Combination or earlier upon their redemption or liquidation.

Additionally, if we (a) assume (i) that no public shareholders elect to have their public shares redeemed, (ii) that there are no other issuances of equity interests of TortoiseCorp or Volta and no repurchases of Volta Restricted Stock, (iii) none of TortoiseCorp’s initial shareholders or the Historical Rollover Shareholders purchase Class A Ordinary Shares in the open market, (iv) the issuance of all 20,712,774shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock that will be reserved in respect of New Volta Options issued in exchange for outstanding pre-merger Volta Options and in respect of New Volta Warrants issued in exchange for outstanding pre-merger Volta Warrants and (v) the issuance of all 134,993shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock that will be reserved in respect of New Volta Options issued in exchange for outstanding pre-merger Volta Options and (b) do not take into account TortoiseCorp Warrants that will remain outstanding following the Business Combination and may be exercised at a later date, then the ownership of New Volta would be as follows:

•        the Historical Rollover Shareholders other than Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will own 108,936,646shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 55.8% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock, and 1,907,872shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, or approximately 16.5% of the outstanding New Volta Class B Common Stock;

•        the public shareholders will own 34,500,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 17.7% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        the New Private Placement Investors will own 30,000,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 15.4% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        the initial shareholders will own 8,625,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 4.4% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock; and

•        Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel, together with their affiliated entities, will collectively own 13,016,404shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 6.7% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock, and 9,659,020shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, or 83.5% of the outstanding New Volta Class B Common Stock and, assuming that the New Volta Class B Common Stock is not converted into Class A Common Stock, immediately following the completion of the Business Combination, taking into account all of their New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Class B Common Stock, Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will collectively control approximately 35.3% of the voting power of the capital stock of New Volta on a fully-diluted basis.

Please see the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for further information.

Board of Directors of New Volta Following the Business Combination

Assuming the Director Election Proposal is approved at the extraordinary general meeting, we expect the New Volta Board to be comprised of Scott Mercer, Christopher Wendel, Eli Aheto, Vincent T. Cubbage, Martin Lauber, Katherine Savitt, Bonita Stewart and John Tough.

Expected Accounting Treatment

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization under U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, TortoiseCorp will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. See the subsection entitled “The Business Combination — Expected Accounting Treatment.”

Appraisal Rights

Appraisal Rights of TortoiseCorp Shareholders

There are no appraisal rights available to holders of Class A Ordinary Shares, Class B Ordinary Shares or TortoiseCorp Warrants in connection with the Business Combination or Domestication under Cayman Islands law or the DGCL.

Other TortoiseCorp Proposals

In addition to the proposal to approve by ordinary resolution and adopt the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination, our shareholders will be asked to vote upon (a) a proposal to approve by special resolution the change of TortoiseCorp’s jurisdiction of incorporation by deregistering as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and continuing and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware; (b) a proposal to approve by special resolution and adopt the Proposed Organizational Documents; (c) nine separate proposals to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, by ordinary resolution material differences between the Existing Organizational Documents and the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws of New Volta; (d) a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution, for purposes of complying with the applicable listing rules of the NYSE, (i) the issuance of up to an aggregate of 144,365,276shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock and 4,562,259shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock in connection with the Domestication and the Business Combination, (ii) the issuance and sale of 30,000,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock in the Private Placement Financing, which shall occur substantially concurrently with, and is contingent upon, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, (iii) the issuance of up to 20,712,774shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock that may be reserved for issuance in respect of New Volta Class A Options issued in exchange for outstanding Volta Options and in respect of New Volta Warrants issued in exchange for outstanding Volta Warrants and (iv) the issuance of up to 6,869,640shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock that may be reserved for issuance in respect of New Volta Restricted Stock and New Volta Class B Options; (e) a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution and adopt the 2021 Plan; (f) a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution and adopt the Founder Plan; (g) a proposal for the holders of the Class B Ordinary Shares to elect, effective immediately after the effective time of the Second Merger, two directors to serve until the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, three directors to serve until the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders and three directors to serve until the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, subject to such directors’ earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal; and (h) a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution the adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of one or more Proposals at the extraordinary general meeting. For more information, see the sections entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal,” “Proposal No. 2 — The Domestication Proposal,” “Proposal No. 3 — The Organizational Documents Proposal,” “Proposal No. 4 — The Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals,” “Proposal No. 5 — The NYSE Proposal,” “Proposal No. 6 — The 2021 Plan Proposal,” “Proposal No. 7 — The Founder Plan Proposal,” “Proposal No. 8 — The ESPP Proposal,” Proposal No. 9 — The Director Election Proposal” and “Proposal No. 10 — The Adjournment Proposal” for more information.

Date, Time and Place of Extraordinary General Meeting

The extraordinary general meeting will be held in person on         , 2021, at         , Eastern time, at the offices of Vinson & Elkins L.L.P., located at 1114 Avenue of the Americas, 32nd Floor, New York, NY 10036, or such other date, time and place to which such meeting may be adjourned, to consider and vote upon the Proposals. In the interest of public health, and due to the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we are also planning for the meeting to be held virtually pursuant to the procedures described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, but the physical location of the meeting will remain at the location specified above for the purposes of Cayman Islands law and the Existing Organizational Documents.

Voting Power; Record Date

You will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the virtual extraordinary general meeting if you owned Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares at the close of business on        , 2021, which is the record date for the extraordinary general meeting. You are entitled to one vote for each Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B

29

Ordinary Share that you owned as of the close of business on the record date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. On the record date, there were 43,125,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares outstanding in the aggregate, of which 34,500,000 were public shares and 8,625,000 were Founder Shares held by the initial shareholders.

Proxy Solicitation

Proxies may be solicited by mail. We have engaged Morrow Sodali LLC to assist in the solicitation of proxies. If a shareholder grants a proxy, it may still vote its shares online if it revokes its proxy before the extraordinary general meeting. A shareholder may also change its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy as described in the subsection entitled “Extraordinary General Meeting — Revoking Your Proxy.”

Quorum and Required Vote for Proposals for the Extraordinary General Meeting

A quorum of our shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the extraordinary general meeting if holders of a majority our Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares entitled to vote thereat attend in person, online or by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum.

The approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, the NYSE Proposal, the 2021 Plan Proposal, the Founder Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal, the Director Election Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote (in person, online or by proxy) of the holders of a majority of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and actually casting votes thereon at the extraordinary general meeting, voting as a single class. Under the Existing Organizational Documents, only the holders of Class B Ordinary Shares are entitled to vote on the election of directors and therefore the Director Election Proposal. Approval of the Domestication Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote (in person, online or by proxy) of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and actually casting votes thereon at the extraordinary general meeting, voting as a single class. Accordingly, a shareholder’s failure to vote in person, online or by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on any of the Proposals. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

The Closing is conditioned on the approval of the Condition Precedent Proposals at the extraordinary general meeting. Each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is cross-conditioned on each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Recommendation to TortoiseCorp Shareholders

The TortoiseCorp Board believes that each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal, the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, the NYSE Proposal, the 2021 Plan Proposal, the Founder Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal, the Director Election Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal is in the best interests of TortoiseCorp and our shareholders and recommends that our shareholders vote “FOR” each Proposal (or in the case of the Director Election Proposal, “FOR ALL NOMINEES”) being submitted to a vote of the shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting. For more information, see the sections entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal,” “Proposal No. 2 — The Domestication Proposal,” “Proposal No. 3 — The Organizational Documents Proposal,” “Proposal No. 4 — The Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals,” “Proposal No. 5 — The NYSE Proposal,” “Proposal No. 6 — The 2021 Plan Proposal,” “Proposal No. 7 — The Founder Plan Proposal,” “Proposal No. 8 — The ESPP Proposal,” “Proposal No. 9 — The Director Election Proposal” and “Proposal No. 10 — The Adjournment Proposal.”

When you consider the recommendation of the TortoiseCorp Board in favor of approval of these Proposals, you should keep in mind that, aside from their interests as shareholders, our Sponsor and certain of our directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder. Please see the subsection entitled “The Business Combination — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination.”

Summary Risk Factors

In evaluating the Proposals set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus, you should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus, including the annexes, and especially consider the factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors.” Some of the risks related to Volta’s business and industry and the Business Combination are summarized below.

•        Volta is an early stage company with a history of losses and expects to incur significant expenses and losses for the foreseeable future.

•        Volta has experienced rapid growth and expects to invest in growth for the foreseeable future. If it fails to manage growth effectively, its business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.

•        Failure to expand Volta’s geographic footprint and to build scalable and robust processes could harm its prospects for growth, and Volta may never successfully do so or achieve or sustain profitability.

•        Volta currently faces competition in both the EV charging market and in its content sales activities, and expects to face significant competition in the future as these markets evolve.

•        Volta depends upon strong relationships with real estate and retail partners to build out its charging station network and increased competition or loss of a partner could adversely impact Volta’s business.

•        Volta derives a significant portion of its revenues from sponsored content on its charging stations, which fluctuates and is subject to market conditions outside of its control, and Volta may not be able to place content in certain geographies until it has achieved scale in such geographies.

•        Volta relies on a limited number of suppliers and manufacturers for the manufacture and supply of its charging stations, some of which are also early stage companies. A loss of any of these partners or defects in or failure of the products with which they supply Volta could negatively affect Volta’s business.

•        Volta’s business is subject to risks associated with construction, cost overruns and delays, and other contingencies that may arise in the course of completing installations, and such risks may increase in the future as Volta expands the scope of such services with other parties.

•        Volta faces risks related to natural disasters and health pandemics, which could have a material adverse effect on its business and results of operations. For example, impacts to Volta’s business as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic included slow-down of permitting and construction activities during shutdowns, shut-down of properties where Volta’s stations are located, drop off in media spend, shut-down of offices and a transition to remote work forces, impacting revenue potential and usage.

•        If Volta is unable to attract and retain key employees and hire qualified management, technical, engineering and sales personnel, its ability to compete and successfully grow its business could be harmed.

•        Any continued expansion by Volta into international markets will expose it to additional tax, compliance, market and other risks and there can be no assurance that any such expansion will be successful.

•        Government regulation of outdoor media may restrict Volta’s content sales activities.

•        Volta’s management has limited experience in operating a public company and the requirements of being a public company may strain Volta’s resources, divert management’s attention and affect its ability to attract and retain qualified board members and officers.

•        Volta may need to raise additional funds and these funds may not be available when needed.

•        Volta’s forecasted operating results and projections and its estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth may prove to be inaccurate.

•        Volta is dependent upon the availability of electricity at its charging sites and could be adversely affected by utility rate adjustments and cost increases, delays or new or increased taxation or other restrictions on the availability or cost of electricity.

31

•        Volta’s future growth and success is correlated with and thus dependent upon the continuing rapid adoption of and demand for EVs by businesses and drivers.

•        The reduction, modification or elimination of rebates, tax credits and other financial incentives and benefits associated with the EV industry could cause reduced demand for EVs and EV charging stations.

•        The EV charging market is characterized by rapid technological change, which requires Volta to continue to develop new products and product innovations and maintain and expand its intellectual property portfolio.

•        Volta’s charging stations and mobile application platform could contain undetected defects, errors or bugs in hardware or software and, as an emerging technology, the full operating life of the equipment in Volta’s charging stations is not fully known and may malfunction through repeated use, which could result in property damage or injury and adversely affect Volta’s brand, business, financial condition and results of operations.

•        Computer malware, viruses, ransomware, hacking, phishing attacks and other network disruptions could result in security and privacy breaches, loss of proprietary information and interruption in service.

•        Growing Volta’s business and user base depends upon the effective operation of Volta’s mobile applications with mobile operating systems, networks and standards that Volta does not control.

•        Volta may need to defend against intellectual property infringement or misappropriation claims, which may be time-consuming and expensive, and its business may be adversely affected if it is unable to protect its technology and intellectual property from unauthorized use by third parties.

•        The expected shift in Volta’s business model to pay-for-use and the requirement of mobile check-ins may impact Volta’s ability to retain driver interest, content partners and site hosts.

•        Volta’s charging stations include components that depend on semiconductor supply chains that are currently unable to meet demand and as a result Volta may experience delays in the delivery of its product from its manufacturers, impeding its intended installation and deployment plans.

•        If Volta fails to offer high-quality support to site partners and drivers, its business and reputation may suffer.

•        Volta may be unable to collect and leverage customer data in all geographic locations, and this limitation may impact research and development, content sales, partnership relations and operations.

•        The occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could delay the Business Combination or give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement.

•        The outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against TortoiseCorp following announcement of the Business Combination and the possibility of third-party claims against the Trust Account.

•        The inability to complete the Business Combination due to the failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of TortoiseCorp, or satisfy the other conditions to closing in the Business Combination Agreement.

•        The risk that TortoiseCorp may not be able to consummate the Private Placement Financing.

•        The risk that the proposed Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of Volta or TortoiseCorp as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination.

•        The possibility that COVID-19 may hinder TortoiseCorp’s ability to consummate the Business Combination.

SELECTED UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data (the “selected pro forma information”) gives effect to the Business Combination described in the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.” The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization under U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, TortoiseCorp is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of New Volta will represent a continuation of the financial statements of Volta with the Business Combination being treated as the equivalent of Volta issuing stock for the net assets of TortoiseCorp, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of TortoiseCorp will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be presented as those of Volta in future reports of New Volta.

The selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet data as of December31, 2020 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had occurred on December31, 2020. The selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations data for the year ended December31, 2020 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had occurred on January1, 2020.

RISK FACTORS

The following risk factors will apply to our business and operations following the completion of the Business Combination. These risk factors are not exhaustive and investors are encouraged to perform their own investigation with respect to the business, financial condition and prospects of Volta and our business, financial condition and prospects following the completion of the Business Combination. You should carefully consider the following risk factors in addition to the other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus, including matters addressed in the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” We may face additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, which may also impair our business or financial condition. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Volta,” the financial statements of Volta and the notes to the financial statements of Volta included herein.

Risks Related to Volta’s Business

Volta is an early stage company with a history of losses and expects to incur significant expenses and losses for the foreseeable future.

Volta has a history of operating losses. Volta incurred a net loss of $72.9million for the year ended December31, 2020, and as of December31, 2020, Volta had an accumulated deficit of approximately $156.6million. Volta believes it will continue to incur operating and net losses each quarter for the foreseeable future. Even if Volta achieves profitability in any quarter, there can be no assurance that Volta will be able to maintain profitability. Volta’s potential profitability is particularly dependent upon the continued adoption of electric vehicles (“EVs”) by drivers and fleet operators, the continued availability of, and Volta’s continued eligibility for, governmental incentives and credits associated with EV charging stations, Volta’s ability to receive anticipated benefits from any upfront capital expenditures it incurs to develop and expand its charging station network, the absence of changes in law or regulation relating to the EV charging industry that disproportionately benefit Volta’s competitors or that require significant changes to Volta’s products, services or business model, the impact of laws and regulations, or the absence of changes in law or regulation, that restrict or otherwise adversely impact Volta’s ability to conduct its content-delivery activities, the recognition by content partners, site hosts and other business partners of the benefits of Volta’s content offerings and, in each case, the hosting and utilization of Volta’s chargers, any of which may not occur at the levels Volta currently anticipates or at all.

Failure to effectively expand Volta’s sales, marketing and operational team could harm its ability to grow its business and strategic partnerships and achieve broader market acceptance of its products and services.

Volta’s ability to grow its business and charging station network and strategic partnerships to achieve broader market acceptance with site hosts, content partners and drivers, grow revenue and achieve and sustain profitability will depend, to a significant extent, on its ability to effectively expand its sales, content, marketing, technology and operational teams and capabilities. Volta relies on its site acquisition and content sales and marketing teams to expand its commercial footprint and obtain new content partners, respectively, in order to grow its EV charging business, and Volta relies on its network planning, engineering, site development, operations and project management personnel to build out and serve new sites. Volta also relies on its technology team, which is currently being scaled, to continue to develop improvements, enhancements and new functionality in its EV charging stations, mobile application platform and network planning tools. Volta plans to continue to expand in these functional areas but it may not be able to recruit and hire a sufficient number of competent personnel with the requisite skills, technical expertise and experience, which may adversely affect its ability to expand such capabilities. The hiring process can be costly and time-consuming, and new employees may require significant training and time before they achieve full productivity. Recent hires and planned hires may not become as productive as quickly as anticipated, and Volta may be unable to hire or retain sufficient numbers of qualified individuals. In the event that Volta’s employees join a labor union, higher employee costs and increased risk of work stoppages or strikes could result. Any failure to recruit, train, incentivize and retain a sufficient number of qualified personnel and to have such personnel attain desired productivity levels within a reasonable period of time and in a cost-effective manner could harm Volta’s growth prospects and ability to achieve or sustain profitability, and have an adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. See also “— If Volta is unable to attract and retain key employees and hire qualified management, technical, engineering and sales personnel, its ability to compete and successfully grow its business would be harmed.”

38

Failure to expand Volta’s geographic footprint and to build scalable and robust processes could harm its prospects for growth and profitability, and Volta may never successfully do so or achieve or sustain profitability.

Volta’s ability to achieve significant revenue growth and profitability in the future will depend, in large part, on its success in expanding its business both within its existing markets and to additional markets and geographies and building scalable and robust processes to manage its business and operations. If prospective commercial partners, such as site hosts and content partners in such existing and new markets and geographies do not perceive Volta’s product and service offerings to be of value to them or Volta’s EV charging stations and services are not favorably received by them or by drivers in such markets, Volta may not be able to attract and retain such business partners and successfully expand in its existing markets and to new markets and geographies.

In addition, if Volta is not able to build scalable and robust processes to manage its existing business operations and prospective growth and expansion, it may fail to satisfy and retain its existing business partners and drivers that utilize its charging stations and may not be able to attract new business partners and driver interest in additional markets and, as a result, Volta’s ability to maintain and/or grow its business and achieve or sustain profitability will be adversely affected. For example, site hosts may elect not to adopt Volta’s products or services for many reasons, including a perception that they or their customers are unlikely to derive sufficient value from Volta’s EV charging services, that Volta’s content services will not sufficiently drive customer engagement at such host site, that the local community objects to Volta’s stations due to their size, display screens or otherwise, that competitors provide a better value or experience or that service issues are not satisfactorily resolved. Retention and expansion of site host, content partner and driver interest and engagement will also be dependent on the quality, effectiveness and perception of Volta’s customer service and operations and any failure by Volta to offer high quality support to its business partners and users of its charging stations could adversely affect Volta’s business, reputation and growth prospects. See also “— Customer-Related Risks — If Volta fails to offer high-quality support to site partners and drivers, its business and reputation will suffer.”

If Volta is not able to build robust and scalable processes to manage its existing business operations and prospective growth and expansion, it may be unable to successfully compete in retaining existing business partners and drivers that use its charging stations and attracting new business partners and drivers in existing and new markets and geographies. Any such failure to compete or expand its business would adversely affect Volta’s business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations and ability to achieve or sustain profitability.

Volta currently faces competition from a number of companies in the EV charging market, and expects to face significant competition in the future as the market for EV charging evolves.

The EV charging market is relatively new and Volta currently faces competition from a number of companies. Volta believes its current competitors to its EV charging owner-operator business activities are EVgo Services LLC, Electrify America LLC (“Electrify America”), Tesla Inc. (“Tesla”), EVBox Group, ChargePoint, Inc., Rivian Automotive Inc., Pod Point Limited, EVConnect, Inc., Engie SA and Blink Charging Co., or charging networks being developed by OEMs or in partnership with any of the aforementioned competitors. The principal competitive factors in the EV charging industry include capital efficient deployment; revenue lines and diversity of revenue opportunities; charger utilization and pricing to drivers; charger network reliability, scale and local density; charger count, charger locations and accessibility; charger connectivity to EVs and ability to charge all models and standards; speed of charging relative to expected vehicle dwell times at the location; software-enabled services offerings and overall business partner and driver experience; operator brand, track record and reputation; access to equipment vendors and service providers; installation expertise and costs; and policy incentives. Large initial stage markets require significant early capital expenditures, engagement across verticals and driver engagement to gain market share, and ongoing effort to scale product and service offerings, channels, installers, teams and processes. There are also competitors, in particular those with limited funding, experience or commitment to quality assurance, that could cause poor experiences, hampering overall EV adoption or trust in any particular provider of charging services. Further, Volta’s current or potential competitors may be acquired by third parties with different commercial objectives and imperatives and greater available resources.

In addition, there are other means for charging EVs, which could affect the level of demand for charging at Volta’s charging stations. For example, Tesla continues to build out its supercharger network across the United States for Tesla vehicles, which could reduce overall demand for new Volta charging stations at sites that host Tesla chargers or reduce utilization of existing Volta charging stations located at the same sites. Tesla may also open

39

its supercharger network to support charging of non-Tesla EVs in the future, which could further reduce demand for charging on Volta’s stations. Municipalities may also determine to provide additional public charging options, including by converting existing electricity infrastructure into public EV charging points, or determine to limit or reduce permitting for new EV charging stations due to perceived oversaturation or concerns relating to electric grid capacity, any of which could potentially reduce Volta’s serviceable markets. In addition, retailers, utilities or other site hosts or commercial, municipal and federal fleet businesses may opt to become owners and operators of public or private EV charging equipment and purchase that equipment and associated management software directly from other vendors in the marketplace.

Additionally, future changes in charging preferences and technologies; the development of inductive EV charging capabilities; battery chemistries, ultralong-range batteries or energy storage technologies, industry standards or applications; driver behavior; autonomous driving; increased focus on non-automotive transit alternatives, including mobility hubs and micromobility options in major markets; or battery EV efficiency may develop in ways that limit Volta’s future share gains in desirable markets or slow the growth of Volta’s addressable or serviceable market. Competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than Volta to new or changing site host or driver preferences and other opportunities, technologies, standards or regulatory requirements, may be eligible for favorable governmental incentives that are not available to Volta and/or may be better equipped to initiate or withstand substantial price or technological competition. In addition, competitors may in the future establish cooperative relationships with vendors of complementary products, technologies or services to increase the availability of their solutions in the marketplace.

The EV charging business may become more competitive, pressuring future increases in utilization and margins. Competition is still developing and is expected to increase as the number of EVs sold increases. In addition, further competition has in the past and may in the future arise from regulatory or judicial action. For example, one of Volta’s current competitors is Electrify America, a subsidiary of Volkswagen. Electrify America was formed as part of Volkswagen’s consent decree with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in connection with its diesel emissions issue. Volkswagen was forced to commit $2billion to Electrify America and the expansion of its EV charger network over a ten-year period, which began in January 2017. Electrify America expects to install (or have under development) approximately 800 public EV charging sites with approximately 3,500 chargers by December 2021 and is currently approaching completion of cycle 2 of its 4-cycle spending program. Because Electrify America’s expansion of its EV charger network is mandated by the consent decree and not necessarily done in a manner designed to maximize economic return, Electrify America’s rate of expansion may outpace Volta’s and limit Volta’s serviceable market or increase Volta’s costs to install or operate its charging stations, including due to charger saturation or grid efficiency concerns in the markets that Electrify America is servicing or into which it is expanding.

Barriers to entry in the EV charging market may erode as a result of government intervention, leading to more competitors or existing competitors becoming better positioned to succeed. In addition, in some jurisdictions, Volta may see competition from local utilities who may be interested in, and receive regulatory approval for, ownership of public EV charging equipment, from various owners of non-networked Level 2 chargers, and from new entrants into the U.S. EV charging market. Further, Volta’s competitors may not be subject to the same regulatory requirements as Volta, such as those relating to Volta’s digital display screens and content offerings, providing them with greater flexibility as to placement and expansion of their EV charging networks and facilitating their competition with Volta.

New competitors or alliances may emerge in the future that are better financed or have greater access to capital than Volta, secure greater market share, have proprietary technologies that site hosts or drivers prefer, have more effective marketing abilities and/or face different financial hurdles, which could put Volta at a competitive disadvantage. Further, Volta’s current strategic initiatives and contracts with major business partners and key site hosts may fail to result in a sustainable competitive advantage for Volta. Future competitors could also be better positioned to serve certain segments of Volta’s current or future target markets, which could create price pressure or erode Volta’s market share. In light of these factors, current or potential drivers that use Volta’s charging stations may utilize charging services of competitors, resulting in reduced demand for Volta’s charging stations and for content offerings among existing and prospective site hosts and content partners. If Volta fails to adapt to changing market conditions or continue to compete successfully with current charging providers or new competitors, its growth will be inhibited, adversely affecting its business, financial condition and results of operations.

40

Volta also faces intense competition in its content-delivery activities and expects to continue to face significant competition as the market for out-of-home and digital display media evolves.

The place-based digital media industry is fragmented, consisting of a few traditional companies operating on a national basis, such as Outfront Media, Inc., Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc., Lamar Advertising Company, JCDecaux Group, Intersection Media, LLC and Destination Media, Inc., as well as new, digitally forward, omni-channel platforms like Google, Facebook and Twitter, and hundreds of smaller regional and local companies operating a limited number of displays in a single or a few local geographic markets. Volta competes with all of these companies for its content partners. Content rates also vary greatly from market-to-market and on a format-by-format basis, creating various opportunities for competition on pricing. If Volta’s competitors offer media displays at rates below the rates Volta charges, it could lose potential content partners and could be pressured or unable, due to content format, market differences or otherwise, to reduce its rates below those currently charged to attract or retain content partners. In addition, installation of digital displays by Volta or its competitors at a pace or location that exceeds the ability of the market to derive new revenues from those displays could also have an adverse effect on Volta’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

In particular, competition in the place-based digital media industry and the content rates Volta is able to charge are based on a number of different factors, including location, size of display, market and total number of impressions delivered by a display or group of displays. The number of impressions delivered by Volta’s displays are measured by Geopath, Inc. (“Geopath”), an independent third-party organization that provides audience measurement for the out-of-home and place-based media industries. Geopath leverages a range of data sources, including anonymous location and trip data from connected vehicles and smartphones, to understand the number of people passing a display during a defined period of time. Due to how total impressions are calculated, Volta’s ability to generate additional content revenue from the placement of multiple charging stations equipped with digital displays at any one site may be limited, as a greater number of displays in close proximity may not yield additional impressions. Similarly, saturation of out-of-home and digital displays at any given site, including those of Volta’s competitors, may put pricing pressure on Volta’s content offerings at that site or reduce the number of displays government authorities are willing to permit. The competitive or regulatory pressures caused by market saturation and the method of calculating the number of and pricing for impressions could limit Volta’s ability to expand its content offerings in any market and have an adverse effect on Volta’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Volta’s content services also compete with other media, including online, mobile and social media content platforms and traditional platforms (such as television, radio, print and direct mail marketers). In addition, Volta competes with a wide variety of out-of-home media, including media in shopping centers, grocery stores, movie theaters, transit locations and sports and entertainment venues, among other locations. Advertisers compare relative costs of available media, including the average cost per thousand impressions, particularly when delivering a message to customers with distinct demographic characteristics. In competing with other media, the out-of-home and place-based media industry relies on its relative cost efficiency and its ability to reach specific markets, geographic areas and/or demographics. Further, as digital media technology continues to develop, Volta’s competitors in the place-based media industry may be able to offer products or services that are, or that are seen to be, substantially similar to or better than Volta’s. This may force Volta to compete in different ways and incur additional costs and/or expend resources in order to remain competitive. If Volta’s competitors are more successful than Volta is in developing digital content products, diversifying the placement of their digital displays to maximize additional impressions or in attracting and retaining content partners, Volta’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Volta has experienced rapid growth and expects to invest in growth for the foreseeable future. If it fails to manage growth effectively, its business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Volta has experienced rapid growth in recent periods. For example, the number of full-time employees has grown from 64 as of December31, 2018 to 145 as of December31, 2020. Volta also continues to invest in the development and enhancement of its technology, products and mobile application platform. The growth and expansion of its business has placed and continues to place a significant strain on management, business operations,

41

financial condition and infrastructure and corporate culture. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic caused Volta to substantially freeze 2020 hiring activity beginning in the first quarter of 2020 and take other remedial actions, including employees working from home, to address prospective impacts of the pandemic, which have placed further strain on Volta’s resources and its ability to effectively manage and continue its growth efforts and development and enhancement of its products and services. See also “— Volta faces risks related to natural disasters and health pandemics, which could have a material adverse effect on its business and results of operations. For example, impacts to Volta’s business as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic included slow-down of permitting and construction activities during shutdowns, shut-down of properties where Volta’s stations are located, drop off in content spend, shut-down of offices and a transition to remote work forces, impacting revenue potential and usage.”

To manage growth in operations and personnel, Volta will need to continue to improve its operational, financial and management controls and reporting systems and procedures, and to successfully integrate new personnel hired while Volta’s employees continue to work from home. Failure to manage growth effectively could result in difficulty or delays in attracting new business partners, declines in quality or user satisfaction, increases in costs, difficulties in introducing new products and services or enhancing existing products and services, loss of business partners, information security vulnerabilities or other operational difficulties, any of which could adversely affect Volta’s business performance and operating results. For example, Volta is in the process of expanding its mobile application functionality to include, among other things, payment processing features and other enhancements. If Volta’s technology team, which is in an early stage of growth, does not have sufficient resources or capabilities to successfully enable such functionality and Volta is not able to appropriately expand its technology team, Volta’s ability to grow its business could be adversely affected. Volta’s strategy is based on a combination of growth and maintenance of strong performance of its existing EV charging network and content offerings, and any inability to scale, to continue to provide a favorable experience for its content partners, site hosts and drivers or to manage operations at its charging sites may negatively impact Volta’s growth trajectory.

In addition, in the event of continued fast growth, Volta’s information technology systems and internal control over financial reporting and procedures may not be adequate to support its operations and may introduce opportunities for data security incidents that may interrupt business operations and permit bad actors to obtain unauthorized access to business or user information. Volta may also face risks to the extent such bad actors infiltrate the information technology infrastructure of its contractors. See also “— Unauthorized disclosure of personal or sensitive data or confidential information, whether through a breach of Volta’s computer systems or otherwise, could severely hurt its business.” Further, as a public company, Volta will be required to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, and the failure to do so could have an adverse effect on its business. See also “— The requirements of being a public company may strain Volta’s resources, divert management’s attention and affect its ability to attract and retain qualified board members and officers.”

Volta depends upon strong relationships with real estate and retail partners to build out its charging station network and increased competition or loss of a partner could adversely impact Volta’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Volta depends on establishing and maintaining strong long-term relationships with real estate and retail partners and site hosts with national and regional multi-site portfolios of commercial and retail properties to build out its charging station network. Such site hosts can span a wide array of industries and locations, including retail centers, grocery stores, pharmacies, movie theaters, parking lots, healthcare/medical facilities, municipalities, sports and entertainment venues, parks and recreation areas, restaurants, schools and universities, certain transit and fueling locations and office buildings and other locations and could potentially include hotels, airports, automobile dealers, other transportation hubs and other locations drivers visit day-to-day, any of which may have differing interests and incentives in partnering with an EV charging provider like Volta. If site hosts believe the benefits offered by Volta’s competitors exceed those provided by Volta or that they would not benefit from the content-delivery elements of Volta’s business model, Volta may lose access to high quality property owners necessary to drive and sustain its future growth and profitability. In addition, the loss of a partner with a multi-site portfolio of properties could have an outsized impact on Volta’s business if Volta is not able to enter into agreements with additional site hosts to build out its charging network. Such competition or the loss of key partners could have an adverse effect on Volta’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

42

Volta derives a significant portion of its revenues from content sales on its charging stations, which fluctuate and are subject to market conditions outside of its control, and Volta may not be able to sell its content services in certain geographies until Volta has achieved scale in such geographies.

Volta derives a significant portion of its revenues from providing content space on its EV charging stations equipped with digital displays. A decline in the economic prospects of media buyers, the economy in general or the economy of any individual geographic market or industry, particularly a market in which Volta conducts substantial business or an industry, such as the retail, automotive, consumer packaged goods or professional services industries, from which Volta derives a significant portion of its content revenues, could alter current or prospective buyers’ spending priorities. In addition, natural disasters, acts of terrorism, disease outbreaks (such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic), civil unrest, hostilities, regulatory enforcement or changes in law or enforcement practices, political uncertainty, trade policies (such as tariffs), shifts in market demographics, extraordinary weather events (such as hurricanes, earthquakes, blizzards and wildfires), technological changes and power outages could interrupt Volta’s ability to build, deploy, and/or display content on its charging stations, and/or lead to a reduction in economic certainty and content expenditures by Volta’s existing or prospective content partners. See also “— Volta faces risks related to natural disasters and health pandemics, which could have a material adverse effect on its business and results of operations. For example, impacts to Volta’s business as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic included slow-down of permitting and construction activities during shutdowns, shut-down of properties where Volta’s stations are located, drop off in content spend, shut-down of offices and a transition to remote work forces, impacting revenue potential and usage.” In addition, content partners may decide to reduce or postpone content spend due to factors outside their and Volta’s control. For example, disruptions to semiconductor supply chains may reduce automobile suppliers’ ability to introduce or manufacture vehicles, leading them to reduce or postpone content spend. Any reduction in media expenditures could adversely affect Volta’s business, financial condition or results of operations. Further, media expenditure patterns may be impacted by any of these factors. For example, buyers’ expenditures may be made with less advance notice and may become difficult to forecast from period to period.

Volta’s content business has experienced and is expected to continue to experience fluctuations as Volta continues to scale its EV charging footprint in various markets, including as a result of seasonality due to, among other things, seasonal buying patterns and seasonal influences on media markets. Typically, content spend is highest in the fourth quarter, during the holiday shopping season, and lowest in the first quarter, as advertisers adjust their spending following the holiday shopping season and prepare annual budgets. In addition, until Volta has achieved sufficient scale of its content-driven charging stations in a given market to be able to deliver a meaningful amount of impressions to its content partners, Volta may have difficulties in securing content contracts for that market, which may also lead to fluctuations in its content revenues or an inability to meet its projections of anticipated content revenue. Further, the placement of multiple charging stations at a given site may only yield incremental additional content revenues if the stations are in close proximity or in less desirable locations on a property and do not deliver independent impressions for Volta’s content partners. The effects of such occurrences may make it difficult to estimate future operating results based on the previous results of any specific quarter, which may make it difficult to plan capital expenditures and expansion, could affect operating results and could have an adverse effect on Volta’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Content-based restrictions on outdoor media by regulators and site partners may further restrict the categories of content that Volta can display on its charging stations.

Restrictions on outdoor media of certain products, services or other content are or may be imposed by federal, state and local laws and regulations, as well as contracts with Volta’s site hosts that provide site hosts with approval rights over content or restrict certain content from being displayed at those sites. For example, tobacco products have been effectively banned from outdoor media in most jurisdictions and state and local governments in some cases limit outdoor media of alcohol. Further, certain municipalities and site hosts may limit issue-based outdoor media, place restrictions on media off-site or off-premises products or services or limit the display of content deemed competitive to existing site host tenants. Content-based restrictions could cause a reduction in Volta’s content revenues by limiting the content partners Volta is able to provide media services to and, more broadly, such restrictions or any expanded restrictions that could be adopted in the future could cause an increase in available space on the existing inventory of displays in the outdoor media industry, which could have an adverse effect on Volta’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

43

Volta relies on a limited number of suppliers and manufacturers for the manufacture and supply of Volta’s charging stations, some of which are also early stage companies. A loss of any of these partners or defects in or failure of the products with which they supply Volta could negatively affect Volta’s business.

Volta relies on a limited number of suppliers and manufacturers for the manufacture and supply of its charging stations, including in some cases only a single supplier for some products and components, some of which are also early stage companies. This reliance on a limited number of suppliers and manufacturers, including those that are early stage companies that may face challenges in maintaining their existing operations, increases Volta’s risk of supply failure or interruption, since it may not have proven reliable alternative or replacement suppliers or manufacturers beyond these key parties. In the event of interruption, it may not be able to increase capacity from other sources or develop alternate or secondary sources without incurring material additional costs and substantial delays. In addition, if certain components are only available from a single supplier that experiences a supply interruption or ceases operations, compatible replacement components may not be available at reasonable prices or at all, requiring Volta to redesign its EV charging stations for compatibility with available replacement components. Thus, Volta’s business could be adversely affected if one or more of its suppliers or manufacturers is impacted by any interruption at a particular location or if any such suppliers or manufacturers that are early stage companies are not able to continue in operation. In addition, supply chain disruptions may also negatively affect its media revenue potential, through a delay in its ability to deploy stations or a reduction of content spend by content partners, such as automobile manufacturers, who may experience supply chain disruptions as well.

As the demand for public EV charging increases, the charging equipment vendors may also not be able to dedicate sufficient supply chain, production or sales channel capacity to keep up with the required pace of charging infrastructure expansion. Equipment vendors may experience decreased availability of key materials or components or otherwise encounter supply chain disruptions in obtaining the necessary inputs to meet their delivery obligations to Volta. In addition, as the EV market grows, the industry may be exposed to deteriorating design requirements, undetected faults or the erosion of testing standards by charging equipment and component suppliers, which may adversely impact the performance, reliability and lifecycle cost of the chargers. If Volta experiences a significant increase in demand for its charging stations, or if it needs to replace an existing supplier or manufacturer, it may not be possible to supplement or replace them on acceptable terms or at all, which may undermine its ability to deliver and install additional charging stations in a timely manner and could require the redesign or redevelopment of Volta’s technologies, any of which could have an adverse effect on Volta’s business and revenues. For example, it may take a significant amount of time to identify a manufacturer that has the capability and resources to build charging stations or deliver specified components for such charging stations in sufficient volume. Identifying suitable suppliers and manufacturers could be an extensive process that requires Volta to become satisfied with their quality control, technical capabilities, responsiveness and service, financial stability, regulatory compliance, and labor and other ethical practices. Accordingly, a loss of any significant suppliers or manufacturers could have an adverse effect on Volta’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The use of suppliers and manufacturers outside of the United States would create additional operational and financial risks for Volta’s business.

As Volta’s business continues to grow, Volta may elect to engage with manufacturers and suppliers outside of the U.S., including potentially in China, for the manufacture and supply of Volta’s charging stations or related components. The use of suppliers and manufacturers outside of the U.S. entails a variety of risks, including currency exchange fluctuations, challenges in oversight of manufacturing activity and quality control, tariffs and other trade barriers, unexpected changes in U.S. or local legal or regulatory requirements relating to such manufacture and supply, difficulties in obtaining export licenses or in overcoming other trade barriers, laws and business practices favoring local companies in the event of any supply failure or interruption, political and economic instability, difficulties protecting intellectual property rights, difficulties in pursuing legal judgments in the event of disputes or failures to supply, risks of delivery delays and significant taxes or other burdens of complying with U.S. and local laws that may be applicable to such arrangements.

Further, there is a risk that the U.S. could require that charging equipment be manufactured in the U.S. in order to access federal financial support or secure contracts with the federal government. If Volta engages with manufacturers and suppliers outside of the U.S., Volta would then have to source equipment from alternative vendors in the U.S. or work with vendors who have manufacturing capacity in the U.S. to participate in certain covered federal programs. In addition, new tariffs and policy incentives could be put in place by the U.S. that favor

44

equipment manufactured by or assembled at American factories, which may increase the costs of continuing to source products or components from international manufacturers and suppliers. In the event Volta engages with manufacturers or suppliers outside of the U.S., including as a single source for any products or components, any such changes in policy or regulation or the associated risks with engaging with such manufacturers or suppliers could have an adverse effect on Volta’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Volta’s business is subject to risks associated with construction, cost overruns and delays, and other contingencies that may arise in the course of completing installations, and such risks may increase in the future as Volta expands the scope of such services with other parties.

Volta is typically responsible for the installation of its charging stations at its partners’ sites. These installations are typically performed by electrical and civil contractors engaged and managed by Volta under the oversight of Volta’s construction project managers and site management personnel. The installation of charging stations at a particular site is generally subject to oversight and regulation in accordance with state and local laws and ordinances relating to building codes, safety, environmental protection, insurance requirements and related matters, as well as various local and other governmental approvals and permits that may vary by jurisdiction. Working with contractors may also require Volta or its site hosts to comply with additional rules, working conditions and other requirements imposed by property owners or other third parties, which can add costs and complexity to an installation project. Working with contractors may also result in Volta’s direct or indirect dependence upon companies with unionized workforces, including suppliers, and any resulting additional costs, including from potential work stoppages or strikes, could have an adverse effect on Volta’s business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, building codes, accessibility requirements, utility interconnect specifications, review, approval or study lead time or regulations may hinder EV charger installation and can end up taking additional time and costing more in order to meet the code requirements. Increased demand for the components necessary to install charging stations could also lead to higher installation costs. Further, for sites that require the installation of new electricity service by utilities to enable the placement of Volta’s DCFC or other chargers, the additional cost of installation or the length of time it could take the utility to install the new electricity service could further impact Volta’s ability to complete the installation on schedule and at its anticipated cost and could adversely impact Volta’s business arrangements or relationships with its site hosts.

Accidents or damage to charging equipment or components arising from the installation process could also cause additional delays and result in liability or claims against Volta or its site hosts. Damage to property or other utilities, such as water pipes, electrical cables, gas lines or other infrastructure, whether resulting from Volta’s installation efforts or external factors (such as weather damage) during the course of the installation process, could also lead to explosion risk or other damage to the host site, any of which may not be covered by insurance fully or at all, and could lead to further delays and liability, as well as reputational harm for Volta, which could reduce future demand for Volta’s charging stations and related services. Meaningful delays or cost overruns caused by Volta’s vendor supply chains, contractors, or inability of local utilities and approving agencies to cope with the level of activity may also impact Volta’s ability to obtain or recognize revenue from its EV charging stations, including revenue from the sale of content on its charging stations, and/or impact Volta’s relationships with its site hosts and content partners, either of which could impact Volta’s business and profitability.

In addition, if Volta’s contractors are unable to provide timely, thorough and quality installation-related services and fall behind on their construction schedules, Volta’s site hosts and other business partners could become dissatisfied with Volta’s products and services. As the demand for public EV charging increases and qualification requirements for contractors become more stringent, Volta may also encounter shortages in the number of qualified contractors available to complete all of Volta’s desired installations. In addition, while Volta’s contracts typically do not permit its contractors to file liens against Volta’s site hosts’ properties, if Volta fails to timely pay its contractors, they may file such liens notwithstanding such contractual terms and Volta would be required to remove them and its relationship with the site host could be adversely affected.

Volta’s business model is predicated on the presence of qualified and capable electrical and civil contractors and subcontractors in the new markets it intends to enter. There is no guarantee that there will be an adequate supply of such partners. A shortage in the number of qualified contractors may impact the viability of Volta’s business plan, increase risks around the quality of works performed and increase costs if outside contractors are brought into a new market. Further, changes to existing or new licensing requirements for Volta’s contractors may increase Volta’s installation costs or result in further shortages of appropriately licensed contractors to conduct Volta’s installations.

45

In addition, Volta’s network expansion plan relies on its site development efforts, and its business is exposed to risks associated with receiving site control and access necessary for the installation of the charging station and operation of the charging equipment, electrical interconnection and power supply at identified locations sufficient to host chargers and on a timely basis. Volta does not own the land at the charging sites and generally relies on agreements with site hosts that convey the right to install, own and operate the charging equipment on the site. Volta may not be able to renew the site agreements or retain site control. The process of establishing or extending site control and access could take longer or become more competitive. As the EV market grows, competition for premium sites may intensify, the power distribution grid may require upgrading and electrical interconnection with local utilities may become competitive, all of which may lead to delays in installation and/or commissioning. As a result, Volta may be exposed to increased interconnection costs and utility fees, as well as delays, which may slow the growth of Volta’s charging network expansion.

Volta faces risks related to natural disasters and health pandemics, which could have a material adverse effect on its business and results of operations. For example, impacts to Volta’s business as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic included slow-down of permitting and construction activities during shutdowns, shut-down of some properties where Volta’s stations are located, drop off in content spend, shut-down of offices and a transition to remote work forces, impacting revenue potential and usage.

Volta faces risks related to natural disasters and health pandemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. The impact of COVID-19, including changes in driver and business behavior, pandemic fears and market downturns and restrictions on business and individual activities, has created significant volatility in the global and domestic economies and led to reduced economic activity. The spread of COVID-19 has created charging equipment supply chain and shipping constraints, a slow-down in permitting and construction activities and has delayed the installation of new chargers. The COVID-19 pandemic has also resulted in the shut-down of, or significantly reduced the use of, various properties and retail and commercial sites where Volta’s chargers are located, such as retail centers, movie theaters, stadiums, schools and universities, certain transit and fueling locations and office buildings and other locations, which has adversely affected the usage of Volta’s charging stations.

Further, the change in driver behavior resulting from the prolonged COVID-19 shut-downs has also impacted content spend, particularly for outdoor digital displays such as those on Volta’s charging stations, and has and may continue to result in decreased content revenue for Volta. Such changes in driver behavior and the continuing uncertainty as to when and to what extent normal economic and operating activities will resume may also adversely affect Volta’s ability to generate revenue, secure new site locations with existing business partners and secure new real estate and retail partners and site hosts with national and regional multi-site portfolios of commercial and retail properties as such prospective partners continue to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their businesses and any resulting changes in their business models. In addition, COVID-19 has also disrupted the manufacturing, delivery and overall supply chain of vehicle manufacturers and suppliers and has led to a decrease in vehicle sales, including EV sales, in markets around the world. Any sustained downturn in demand for EVs or continued impact on driver behavior, including a failure of drivers to return to pre-pandemic retail purchasing and transit behaviors or of employers to return to in-person workplace activities, could harm Volta’s business and negatively impact the growth of its charging station network.

The pandemic has resulted in government authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain COVID-19, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, stay-at-home or shelter-in-place orders and business shutdowns. These measures adversely impacted Volta’s employees and operations and the operations of its site hosts, suppliers, vendors and business partners and negatively impacted demand for EV charging. In addition, the shut-down of government offices in the markets in which Volta operates has resulted in a slow-down in permitting and construction activities and delayed the installation of new chargers, which may negatively impact Volta’s relationships with its site hosts and have an adverse effect on Volta’s ability to generate revenue from such charging stations. These measures by government authorities may remain in place for a significant period of time and may continue to adversely affect Volta’s site development and charger installation plans, sales, marketing and content-delivery activities, business and results of operations.

Volta has modified its business practices in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and currently has all non-essential personnel work from home. Volta has implemented various safety protocols for essential personnel who must leave their homes for work, requiring the use of protective face masks and social distancing, and has

46

restricted work-related airline travel. Volta may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that it determines are in the best interests of its employees, site hosts, contractors, suppliers, vendors and other business partners. There is no certainty that such actions will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by COVID-19 or otherwise be satisfactory to government authorities. The transition to remote working has also placed further strain on Volta’s ability to effectively manage and maintain its corporate culture and integration of its work force. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic caused Volta to substantially freeze 2020 hiring activity in the first quarter of 2020 to address prospective impacts of the pandemic, which placed further strain on Volta’s resources and its ability to manage its continuing growth efforts and development and enhancement of its products and services. As Volta resumes hiring activity in 2021, Volta may face difficulties integrating new team members while employees continue to work from home, which may result in further challenges to Volta’s growth efforts and operations. If significant portions of Volta’s workforce are unable to work effectively, including due to illness, quarantines, social distancing, government actions or other restrictions in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, its operations will be negatively impacted. Furthermore, if significant portions of drivers are subject to stay at home orders or otherwise work remotely or are not travelling via EV for sustained periods of time, user demand for charging and related services will decline and Volta may not be able to secure new partners to expand its charging network.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts Volta’s business, prospects and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration, spread and severity of the pandemic, the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, and when and to what extent normal economic and operating activities can resume. The COVID-19 pandemic could limit the ability of site hosts, contractors, suppliers, vendors, permitting agencies, utilities and business partners to perform, including third-party suppliers’ ability to provide components and materials used in charging stations or in providing installation or maintenance services. If Volta is not able to obtain needed components and materials for the manufacture and installation of its charging stations, or if any of its key suppliers and manufacturers are not able to continue in operation as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Volta’s business would be adversely affected. See also “— Volta relies on a limited number of suppliers and manufacturers for the manufacture and supply of Volta’s charging stations, some of which are also early stage companies. A loss of any of these partners or defects in or failure of the products with which they supply Volta could negatively affect Volta’s business.” Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, Volta may continue to experience an adverse impact to its business as a result of the pandemic’s global economic impact, including any recession that has occurred or may occur in the future. Specifically, difficult macroeconomic conditions, such as decreases in per capita income and level of disposable income, increased and prolonged unemployment or a decline in customer confidence as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as reduced spending by businesses, could each have a material adverse effect on the demand for Volta’s products and services.

If Volta is unable to attract and retain key employees and hire qualified management, technical, engineering and sales personnel, its ability to compete and successfully grow its business would be harmed.

Volta’s success depends on the continuing services of key employees, including members of its management team. The loss of any of these individuals could have a material adverse effect on Volta’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Volta’s success also depends, in part, on its continuing ability to identify, hire, attract, train and develop and retain highly qualified personnel. The inability to do so effectively would adversely affect its business. Competition for employees can be intense, particularly in the San Francisco Bay Area where Volta is headquartered, and the ability to attract, hire and retain them depends on Volta’s ability to provide competitive compensation. In addition, Volta competes for qualified personnel with its other competitors in the EV charging industry, who may seek to hire Volta’s employees from time to time due to their industry expertise. Volta may not be able to attract, assimilate, develop or retain qualified personnel in the future, and failure to do so could adversely affect its business, including its growth prospects and ability to expand into new markets and geographies. See also “— Failure to effectively expand Volta’s sales, marketing and operational team could harm its ability to grow its business and strategic partnerships and achieve broader market acceptance of its products and services.”

Any continued expansion by Volta into international markets will expose it to additional tax, compliance, market and other risks and there can be no assurance that any such expansion will be successful.

Although Volta’s primary operations are currently in the United States, Volta’s strategy includes the continued expansion of its business into international markets, including countries in addition to Germany and France in the European Union (“EU”) and potential other markets in North America, and Volta may develop contractual

47

relationships with parts and manufacturing suppliers outside of the U.S. See also “— The use of suppliers and manufacturers outside of the United States would create additional operational and financial risks for Volta’s business.” If Volta elects to expand into these or any other international markets, managing this expansion will require additional resources and controls, the recruiting and hiring of critical personnel and development of local infrastructure, identification of key business partners and site hosts and competition with existing participants in the local EV charging markets, which may be well established at the time of Volta’s entry. Volta’s international expansion could also subject it to risks associated with international operations, including:

•        conformity with applicable business customs, including translation into foreign languages and associated expenses;

•        lack of availability of or restricted access to government incentives and subsidies;

•        changes to its business model from that deployed in the United States due to differing local laws, regulations or user habits;

•        cost of alternative power sources, which could vary meaningfully outside the United States;

•        difficulties in establishing, staffing and managing foreign operations in an environment of diverse culture, laws and business practices, and the increased travel, infrastructure and legal and compliance costs associated with international operations;

•        installation challenges, including those associated with local licensing and permitting requirements;

•        differing driving habits and transportation modalities in other markets;

•        differing levels of demand among prospective site hosts and content partners;

•        compliance with local restrictions and regulations on outdoor digital displays, including content and location-based restrictions that may impact the placement of Volta’s content-driven charging stations or Volta’s ability to engage with local content partners;

•        compliance with multiple, potentially conflicting and changing governmental laws, regulations, certifications and permitting processes including environmental, banking, employment, tax, information security, privacy and data protection laws and regulations such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), national legislation implementing the same and changing requirements for legally transferring data out of the European Economic Area;

•        compliance with U.S. and foreign anti-bribery laws including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and the United Kingdom Anti-Bribery Act;

•        conforming products to various international regulatory and safety requirements as well as charging and other electric infrastructures;

•        difficulties in collecting payments in foreign currencies and associated foreign currency exposure, which may result in losses from remeasurement;

•        restrictions on repatriation of earnings;

•        difficulties in translating foreign-currency denominated financial results into Volta’s consolidated financial statements, which may result in losses from translation;

•        challenges in obtaining intellectual property protection, policing the unauthorized use of intellectual property or pursuing enforcement of intellectual property rights outside of the United States;

•        challenges in securing branding rights in new jurisdictions, including in the event of similar or conflicting brands existing in local markets, as well as any changes to branding driven by local considerations;

48

•        compliance with potentially conflicting and changing laws of taxing jurisdictions and compliance with applicable U.S. tax laws as they relate to international operations, the complexity and adverse consequences of such tax laws, and potentially adverse tax consequences due to changes in such tax laws; and

•        regional economic and political conditions.

In addition, any continued expansion is likely to involve the incurrence of significant upfront capital expenditures. As a result of these risks, any potential future international expansion efforts Volta may pursue may not be successful, and Volta may not be able to recover the benefit of any upfront costs or capital expenditures it incurs. If Volta commits substantial resources to any such expansion efforts and such efforts are not successful, Volta’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, a failure to expand into additional international markets could limit Volta’s ability to grow its business and achieve and sustain profitability.

Volta’s management has limited experience in operating a public company.

Many Volta executive officers have limited experience in the management of a publicly-traded company. The management team may not successfully or effectively manage the transition to a public company that will be subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under federal securities laws. Their limited experience in dealing with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies could be a significant disadvantage in that it is likely that an increasing amount of their time may be devoted to these activities, which will result in less time being devoted to the management and growth of the company’s operations. Volta may not have adequate personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training in accounting policies, compliance practices or internal controls required of public companies. The development and implementation of the standards and controls and the hiring of experienced personnel necessary to achieve the level of accounting standards required of a public company may require expenditures greater than expected, and a delay could impact Volta’s ability or prevent it from accurately and timely reporting its operating results, timely filing required reports with the SEC and complying with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). It is possible that Volta will be required to expand its employee base and hire additional employees to support its operations as a public company, which will increase its operating costs in future periods. See also “— Failure to build Volta’s finance infrastructure and improve its accounting systems and controls could impair Volta’s ability to comply with the financial reporting and internal controls requirements for publicly traded companies.”

The requirements of being a public company may strain Volta’s resources, divert management’s attention and affect its ability to attract and retain qualified board members and officers.

As a public company after the completion of the Business Combination, Volta will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the listing requirements of the NYSE, and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Compliance with these rules and regulations will increase its legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and increase demand on Volta’s systems and resources. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that Volta file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to its business and results of operations and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. To maintain and, if required, improve Volta’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to meet this standard, significant resources and management oversight may be required. Similar resources and management oversight may also be required to monitor regulatory developments at the SEC that may impose new disclosure requirements. As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could harm Volta’s business and results of operations. Although Volta has already hired additional employees in preparation for these heightened requirements, it may need to hire more employees or engage additional consultants to assist in public company compliance matters, which would increase its costs and expenses.

49

Volta has identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. If Volta is unable to remediate these material weaknesses, or if Volta identifies additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fails to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, this may result in material misstatements of Volta’s consolidated financial statements or cause Volta to fail to meet its periodic reporting obligations.

As a public company, New Volta will be required to provide management’s attestation on internal control over financial reporting. Management may not be able to effectively and timely implement controls and procedures that adequately respond to the increased regulatory compliance and reporting requirements that will be applicable after the Business Combination. If Volta is not able to implement the additional requirements of Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, it may not be able to assess whether its internal control over financial reporting is effective, which may subject it to adverse regulatory consequences and could harm investor confidence.

In connection with the preparation and audit of Volta’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December31, 2020 and 2019, material weaknesses were identified in its internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of Volta’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting were identified as material weaknesses:

•        Volta did not design and maintain formal accounting policies, procedures and controls over significant accounts and disclosures to appropriately analyze, record and disclose complex technical accounting matters, including equity transactions and asset retirement obligations, commensurate with its accounting and reporting requirements.

•        Volta did not maintain a sufficient complement of personnel to ensure appropriate segregation of duties to ensure that all journal entries and reconciliations were reviewed by an individual other than the preparer. Additionally, the Chief Financial Officer had inappropriate access rights in the general ledger system.

•        Volta did not design and maintain formal accounting policies, procedures and controls over significant accounts and disclosures to appropriately prevent, detect or correct material misstatements which resulted in a high volume of correcting journal entries recorded subsequent to year-end; and

•        Volta did not design and maintain effective controls over certain information technology general controls for information systems that are relevant to the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. Specifically, Volta did not design and maintain program change management controls to ensure that information technology program and data changes affecting financial IT applications and underlying accounting records are identified, tested, authorized and implemented appropriately during migration.

The material weakness related to formal accounting policies, procedures and controls resulted in adjustments to several accounts and disclosures. Each of these material weaknesses could result in a misstatement of account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

Volta has begun implementation of a plan to remediate these material weaknesses. These remediation measures are ongoing and include hiring additional accounting and financial reporting personnel and implementing additional policies, procedures and controls.

In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting, Volta has expended, and anticipates that New Volta will continue to expend, significant resources, including accounting-related costs and significant management oversight. New Volta’s independent registered public accounting firm is not required to formally attest to the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting until after it is no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. At such time, New Volta’s independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which its internal control over financial reporting is documented, designed or operating. Any failure to maintain effective disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting could adversely affect the business and operating results after the Business Combination and could cause a decline in the price of New Volta Class A Common Stock.

50

Failure to build Volta’s finance infrastructure and improve its accounting systems and controls could impair Volta’s ability to comply with the financial reporting and internal controls requirements for publicly traded companies.

As a public company after completion of the Business Combination, Volta will operate in an increasingly demanding regulatory environment, which will require it to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the regulations of the NYSE, the rules and regulations of the SEC, expanded disclosure requirements, accelerated reporting requirements and more complex accounting rules. Company responsibilities required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act include establishing corporate oversight and adequate internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Effective internal controls are necessary for Volta to produce reliable financial reports and are important to help prevent and detect financial fraud. Commencing with its fiscal year ending the year in which the Business Combination is completed, Volta must perform system and process evaluation and testing of its internal controls over financial reporting to allow management to report on the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting in its Form 10-K filing for that year, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The standards required for a public company under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are significantly more stringent than those required of Volta as a privately-held company. Prior to the Closing of the Business Combination, Volta has never been required to test its internal controls within a specified period and, as a result, it may experience difficulty in meeting these reporting requirements in a timely manner. Further, as an emerging growth company, Volta’s independent registered public accounting firm is not required to formally attest to the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 until the date Volta is no longer an emerging growth company and is an accelerated filer. At such time, Volta’s independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event that it is not satisfied with the level at which the controls of Volta are documented, designed or operating.

Testing and maintaining these controls can divert Volta’s management’s attention from other matters that are important to the operation of its business. If Volta is not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in a timely manner, or if it is unable to maintain proper and effective internal controls, Volta may not be able to produce timely and accurate financial statements. If Volta identifies new, different or additional material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting or is unable to assert that its internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if Volta’s independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion as to the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting when Volta no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company and is an accelerated filer, or if Volta cannot otherwise provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of Volta’s financial reports and the market price of its common stock could be adversely affected, and Volta could become subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC, NYSE or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources.

Volta may need to raise additional funds and these funds may not be available when needed.

Volta may need to raise additional capital in the future to further scale its business and expand to additional markets. Volta may raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related or debt securities, through obtaining credit from government or financial institutions or by engaging in joint ventures or other alternative forms of financing. Volta cannot be certain that additional funds will be available on favorable terms when required, or at all. If Volta cannot raise additional funds when needed, its financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. If Volta raises funds through the issuance of debt securities or through loan arrangements, the terms of such debt securities or loan arrangements could require significant interest payments, contain covenants that restrict Volta’s business, or contain other unfavorable terms. In addition, to the extent Volta raises funds through the sale of additional equity securities, Volta stockholders would experience additional dilution.

Volta’s headquarters and a large number of its EV chargers are located in active earthquake, tornado, hurricane, fire and other natural disaster zones; an earthquake, a wildfire or other natural disaster or resource shortages, including public safety power shut-offs that have occurred and will continue to occur in California and other markets, could disrupt and harm its operations and those of Volta’s site hosts and drivers that use its chargers.

Volta is headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area and its headquarters, a majority of its team and a large number of its EV chargers are located in active earthquake and fire zones. The occurrence of a natural disaster such

51

as an earthquake, tornado, hurricane, blizzard or ice storm (such as the recent ice storms in Texas), drought, flood, fire (such as the recent extensive wildfires in California), localized extended outages of critical utilities (such as California’s public safety power shut-offs) or transportation systems, or any critical resource shortages could cause a significant interruption in its business, damage or destroy its facilities or inventory, and cause it to incur significant costs, any of which could harm its business, financial condition and results of operations. The insurance Volta maintains may not be adequate to cover losses in any particular case. In addition, rolling public safety power shut offs can affect user acceptance of EVs, as EV charging may be unavailable at the desired times, or at all, during these events. If these events persist, the demand for EVs could decline, which would result in reduced demand for EV charging solutions and could adversely affect Volta’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Volta’s forecasted operating results and projections rely in large part upon assumptions, analyses and internal estimates developed by Volta’s management. If these assumptions, analyses or estimates prove to be incorrect or inaccurate, Volta’s actual operating results may differ materially and adversely from those forecasted or projected.

Volta’s forecasted operating results and projections are subject to significant uncertainty and rely in large part upon assumptions, analyses and internal estimates developed by Volta’s management, any or all of which may not prove to be correct or accurate. If these assumptions, analyses or estimates prove to be incorrect or inaccurate, Volta’s actual operating results may differ materially and adversely from those forecasted or projected. Realization of the results forecasted will depend on the successful implementation by the combined company of Volta’s proposed business plan, and policies and procedures consistent with the assumptions. Future results will also be affected by events and circumstances beyond the combined company’s control, for example, the competitive environment, the combined company’s executive team, rapid technological change, economic and other conditions in the markets in which Volta proposes to operate, governmental regulation, uncertainties inherent in product development and testing, Volta’s future financing needs and its ability to grow and to manage growth effectively. In particular, Volta’s forecasts and projections include forecasts and estimates relating to the expected size and growth of the markets in which Volta operates or seeks to enter. See “— Volta’s estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth may prove to be inaccurate.” Volta’s forecasts and projections also assume that Volta is able to perform its obligations under its commercial contracts. See “— Volta relies on a limited number of suppliers and manufacturers for the manufacture and supply of Volta’s charging stations, some of which are also early stage companies. A loss of any of these partners or defects in or failure of the products with which they supply Volta could negatively affect Volta’s business.” For the reasons described above, it is likely that the actual results of Volta’s operations will be different from the results forecasted and those differences may be material and adverse. The forecasts were prepared by Volta’s management and have not been certified or examined by an accountant. Neither TortoiseCorp nor Volta has any duty to update the financial projections included in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Volta’s estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth may prove to be inaccurate.

Market opportunity estimates and growth forecasts, whether obtained from third-party sources or developed internally, are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates that may prove to be inaccurate. This is especially so at the present time due to the uncertain and rapidly changing projections of the severity, magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as changing projections as to EV adoption rates. The estimates and forecasts included in this proxy statement/prospectus relating to the size and expected growth of the target market, market demand, EV adoption across individual market verticals and use cases, content demand, ability of charging infrastructure to address charging demand and related pricing may also prove to be inaccurate. In particular, estimates regarding the current and projected market opportunity for EV charging throughput or Volta market share capture are difficult to predict. The estimated addressable markets may not materialize in the timeframe of the projections included herein, if ever, and even if the markets meet the size estimates and growth estimates presented in this proxy statement/prospectus, Volta’s business could fail to grow at similar rates.

Volta’s charging stations are often located in outdoor areas that are publicly accessible and may be exposed to weather-related damage, inadvertent accidents or vandalism or misuse by drivers or other individuals, which could increase Volta’s replacement and maintenance costs.

Volta’s EV chargers are typically located in publicly accessible outdoor areas and may be subject to damage from a number of sources. Volta’s chargers are subject to exposure to the elements and weather-related impacts and wear and tear, as well as the risk of inadvertent or accidental damage by drivers or from other vehicles, including

52

due to vehicle collisions or charger misuse. Volta’s charging stations may also be exposed to intentional damage and abuse, including vandalism or other intentional property damage, any of which would increase wear and tear of the charging equipment and could result in such equipment being irreparably damaged or destroyed. Such damage or increased wear and tear could shorten the usable lifespan of the chargers and require Volta to increase its spending on replacement and maintenance costs, and could result in site hosts reconsidering the value of hosting Volta EV charging stations at their sites. In addition, the cost of any such damage may not be covered by Volta’s insurance in full or at all and, in the event of repeated damage to Volta’s charging equipment, Volta’s insurance premiums could increase and it could be subject to additional insurance costs or may not be able to obtain insurance at all, any of which could have an adverse effect on its business. See also “— Volta maintains certain levels of insurance; Volta may, however, face claims from time to time that could exceed its insurance coverage or not fall within its coverage.”

Volta is dependent upon the availability of electricity at its current and future charging sites or upon the installation of new electricity service at host sites by utilities. Cost increases, delays, new or increased taxation and/or other restrictions on the availability or cost of electricity could adversely affect Volta’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The operation and development of Volta’s charging station network is generally dependent upon the availability of electricity at its charging sites at a reasonable cost, which is beyond its control, and, for certain of Volta’s charging stations, upon the installation of new electricity service at host sites by utilities. Volta’s charging sites, including those using existing site electricity and those for which new electricity service is being installed, are affected by problems accessing electricity sources, such as planned or unplanned power outages. In recent years, shortages of electricity have resulted in increased costs to users and interruptions in service. For example, California has experienced rolling blackouts due to excessive demands on the electrical grid or as precautionary measures against the risk of wildfire, Texas recently experienced widespread outages, rolling blackouts and electricity price spikes arising from cold weather conditions and other markets in which Volta operates can experience significant power outages from time to time. Climate change may increase the frequency of such weather-related energy security issues. In the event of a power outage or shortage, Volta will typically be dependent on the utility company and/or the site host to restore power or provide power at a reasonable cost. In addition, if Volta’s EV charging stations are not able to deliver charging to drivers due to problems with availability of electricity, equipment failure or otherwise, drivers will not be able to charge their EVs at Volta’s EV charging stations and Volta may be unable to meet its contractual commitments to its content partners (for example, if charging station displays are not operational). Any power outage, particularly any prolonged power outage, could result in drivers losing confidence in EV charging, dissatisfaction among Volta’s site hosts and content partners and adversely affect Volta’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, changes in utility electricity pricing, new and restrictive constructs from regulations or additional taxation applicable to electricity pricing, or changes to, or to the interpretation of, existing federal, state or local laws relating to electricity pricing or availability, may adversely impact future operating results. For example, Volta currently provides free EV charging to drivers as part of its business model. If the free charging offered by Volta were to become subject to taxation due to the implementation of new laws or regulations or changes in interpretation of existing laws or regulations, Volta’s revenues would be adversely affected. As Volta develops its paid charging features and services, pricing restrictions may also limit its ability to implement its desired pricing schemes or may intensify competitive pressures on the electricity pricing Volta can offer. Alternatively, if Volta’s EV charging stations, and in particular its Direct Current Fast Charging stations (“DCFCs”), experience high utilization, Volta may become subject to “demand charges” on the electricity it provides to drivers under existing commercial utility rate structures, and the demand charges may be substantial.

Further, utility rates may change in a way that adversely affects EV charging or in a way that may limit Volta’s ability to access certain beneficial rate schedules. Utilities or other regulated entities with monopoly power could also receive authority to provide charging services that result in an anti-competitive advantage relative to Volta and other private sector operators. Any such changes, surcharges or new and restrictive constructs or taxation could adversely affect Volta’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

53

While Volta to date has not made material acquisitions, should it pursue acquisitions in the future, it would be subject to risks associated with acquisitions.

Volta may acquire additional assets, products, technologies or businesses that are complementary to its existing business. The process of identifying and consummating acquisitions and the subsequent integration of new assets and businesses into Volta’s own business would require attention from management and could result in a diversion of resources from its existing business, which in turn could have an adverse effect on its operations. Acquired assets or businesses may not generate the expected financial results. Acquisitions could also result in the use of cash, potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the occurrence of goodwill impairment charges, amortization expenses for other intangible assets and exposure to potential unknown liabilities of the acquired business. Moreover, the costs of identifying and consummating acquisitions may be significant. To date, Volta has no experience with material acquisitions and the integration of acquired assets, businesses and personnel. Failure to successfully identify, complete, manage and integrate acquisitions could adversely affect Volta’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Volta maintains certain levels of insurance; Volta may, however, face claims from time to time that could exceed its insurance coverage or not fall within its coverage.

Volta maintains insurance policies for its charging stations and its corporate assets. This insurance coverage protects Volta in the event it suffers losses resulting from negligence, theft, fraud or other similar events or from business interruptions caused by such events. Volta may be subject to claims that users of its charging stations have been injured or harmed by or while using its products, including false claims or erroneous reports relating to safety, security or privacy issues, or that personal property has been damaged by or as a result of use of its charging stations. See also “— Risks Related to Volta’s Technology, Intellectual Property and Infrastructure — Volta’s charging stations and mobile application platform could contain undetected defects, errors or bugs in hardware or software and, as an emerging technology, the full operating life of the equipment in Volta’s charging stations is not fully known and may malfunction through repeated use, any of which could result in property damage or bodily injury. If any of Volta’s or its competitors’ charging stations cause property damage or bodily injury, whether as the result of operator misuse, defect, malfunction or otherwise, the public may develop a negative perception of EVs, EV charging, or Volta and its brand image, which would adversely affect Volta’s business, financial condition and results of operations.” Although Volta maintains insurance to help protect it from the risk of such claims, such insurance may not be sufficient or may not apply to all situations. Further, Volta’s insurance claims could be denied for various reasons, causing Volta to bear the full cost of any losses or liabilities. In addition, Volta maintains insurance policies for its directors and officers. However, such insurance is significantly costly and may not be sufficient or adequately cover potential losses and may also be subject to denial of claims.

Risks Related to the EV Market

Volta’s future growth and success is correlated with and thus dependent upon the continuing rapid adoption of and demand for EVs by businesses and drivers. In addition, the success of alternative fuels, competing technologies or alternative transportation options or technologies could undermine Volta’s prospects.

Volta’s future growth is ultimately dependent upon the adoption of and demand for EVs both by businesses and drivers. The market for EVs is still rapidly evolving, characterized by rapidly changing technologies, increasing driver choice as it relates to available EV models, their pricing and performance, evolving government regulation and industry standards, changing driver preferences and behaviors, intensifying levels of concern related to environmental issues and governmental initiatives related to climate change and the environment generally. In addition, the success of alternative fuels, competing technologies or alternative transportation options or technologies could result in the increased adoption of such fueling models or alternative technologies in place of EVs and EV charging and adversely affect Volta’s business and prospects for future growth.

Volta’s revenues are derived in part from EV drivers’ driving and charging behavior. Potential shifts in behavior may include but are not limited to changes in annual vehicle miles traveled, preferences for urban versus suburban versus rural and public versus private charging, demand from rideshare or urban delivery fleets and the emergence of autonomous vehicles and/or new forms of mobility. Although demand for EVs has grown in recent years, there is no guarantee of continuing future demand.

54

In addition, the EV fueling model is different from gasoline and other fuel models, requiring behavior changes and education of businesses, drivers, regulatory bodies, local utilities and other stakeholders. Further developments in, and improvements in affordability of, alternative technologies, such as renewable diesel, biodiesel, ethanol, hydrogen fuel cells or compressed or renewable natural gas, proliferation of hybrid powertrains involving such alternative fuels or improvements in the fuel economy of internal combustion engine (“ICE”) vehicles, whether as the result of regulation or otherwise, may materially and adversely affect demand for EVs and EV charging stations in some market verticals. Regulatory bodies may also adopt rules that substantially favor certain alternatives to petroleum-based propulsion over others, which may not necessarily be EVs. Local jurisdictions may also impose restrictions on urban driving due to congestion, which may prioritize and accelerate micromobility trends and slow EV adoption growth. Finally, the currently-paused litigation between the state of California and the National Highway Transit Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) could impact California’s ability to set fuel economy standards that encourage the adoption of EVs, which are followed by many other states, should the Biden Administration not substantially modify NHTSA and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) current rules on preemption in its pending reconsideration of these rules.

If the market for EVs develops more slowly than expected, or if demand for EVs decreases or if any of the above cause or contribute to automakers reducing the availability of EV models or cause or contribute to drivers or businesses no longer purchasing EVs or purchasing fewer of them, Volta’s growth could be reduced and its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. The market for EVs could be affected by numerous factors, such as:

•        perceptions about EV features, quality, driver experience, safety, performance and cost;

•        perceptions about the limited range over which EVs may be driven on a single battery charge and about availability and access to sufficient public EV charging stations;

•        developments of and improvements in faster charging technologies;

•        developments in, and improvements in affordability of, and public perception of, alternative technologies, such as renewable diesel, biodiesel, ethanol, hydrogen fuel cells or compressed or renewable natural gas;

•        competition, including from other types of alternative fuel vehicles (such as hydrogen fuel cell vehicles), plug-in hybrid EVs and high fuel-economy ICE vehicles;

•        increases in fuel efficiency in legacy ICE and hybrid vehicles;

•        volatility in the price of gasoline and diesel at the pump;

•        concerns regarding the stability of the electrical grid;

•        the decline of an EV battery’s ability to hold a charge over time;

•        availability of service for EVs;

•        availability of critical minerals for EV batteries and related infrastructure;

•        drivers’ perception about the convenience, speed and cost of EV charging;

•        government regulations and economic incentives, including adverse changes in, or expiration of, favorable tax incentives related to EVs, EV charging stations or decarbonization generally;

•        concerns relating to end of life of EV charging infrastructure and the costs of replacing and recycling outdated EV charging stations, including potential environmental impact;

•        relaxation of government mandates or quotas regarding the sale of EVs;

•        the number, price and variety of EV models available for purchase; and

•        concerns about the future viability of EV manufacturers.

55

In addition, sales of vehicles in the automotive industry can be cyclical, which may affect growth in acceptance of EVs. It is uncertain how macroeconomic factors will impact demand for EVs, particularly since they have historically and may continue to be more expensive than traditional gasoline-powered vehicles, when the automotive industry globally has been experiencing a recent decline in sales. Furthermore, because fleet operators often make large purchases of EVs, this cyclicality and volatility in the automotive industry may be more pronounced with commercial purchasers, and any significant decline in demand from these customers could reduce demand for EV charging and Volta’s products and services.

While many global original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and several new market entrants have announced plans for new EV models, the lineup of EV models expected to come to market over the next several years may not materialize in that timeframe or may fail to attract sufficient customer demand. Demand for EVs may also be affected by factors directly impacting automobile prices or the cost of purchasing and operating automobiles, such as sales and financing incentives, prices of raw materials and parts and components, cost of fuel and governmental regulations, including tariffs, import regulation and other taxes. Volatility in demand may lead to lower vehicle unit sales, which may result in reduced demand for EV charging solutions and therefore adversely affect Volta’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The batteries used in EVs are manufactured from raw materials, including rare earth minerals such as lithium, that may be subject to price fluctuations, shortages or interruptions of supply due to currency fluctuations, trade barriers, tariffs or other general economic or political conditions, the occurrence of any of which may adversely affect the demand for EVs and as a result the demand for Volta’s charging stations.

Volta’s success is tied directly to the ability of EV manufacturers to produce EVs that attract drivers. Rare earth minerals are among the key raw materials necessary for the production of the batteries used in EVs. Prices for rare earth minerals, most notably lithium, have been volatile and may, together with other key components, increase significantly as a result of an increased demand for materials required to manufacture and assemble battery cells. In addition, rare earth minerals are affected by other factors beyond its control such as currency fluctuations, trade barriers, tariffs, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation, global and regional supply and demand for rare earth minerals and products and the political and economic conditions of countries that produce rare earth minerals and products. Some of the rare earth minerals used to manufacture batteries for EVs are sourced from other countries, including potentially China. Changes in global political, regulatory and economic conditions or in laws and policies governing foreign trade, manufacturing, development and investment in China or other countries where these rare earth minerals are purchased could adversely impact EV manufacturers’ ability to obtain or produce batteries for their EVs in sufficient quantities, in a timely manner or at a commercially reasonable cost. Diminished availability, delays in production or higher costs passed on to customers may adversely affect the growth of the EV market and demand for EVs, which could adversely affect demand for Volta’s charging stations.

The EV market currently benefits from the availability of rebates, tax credits and other financial incentives from governments, utilities and others to offset the purchase or operating cost of EVs and EV charging stations. The reduction, modification or elimination of such benefits could cause reduced demand for EVs and EV charging stations, which would adversely affect Volta’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The U.S. federal government and some state and local governments provide incentives to end users and purchasers of EVs and EV charging stations in the form of rebates, tax credits and other financial incentives, such as payments for regulatory credits. The EV market relies on these governmental rebates, tax credits and other financial incentives to significantly lower the effective costs associated with EVs and EV charging stations. However, these incentives may expire on a particular date, end when the allocated funding is exhausted or be reduced or terminated as a matter of regulatory or legislative policy. Any reduction in rebates, tax credits or other financial incentives could negatively affect the EV market and adversely impact demand for EVs and EV charging stations, which could adversely affect Volta’s business, financial condition, results of operations and expansion potential.

In particular, in connection with the production, delivery, placement into service and ongoing operation of its charging stations, Volta earns and expects to continue to earn various tradable regulatory credits, in particular California’s Low-Carbon Fuel Standard (“LCFS”) credits, as well as carbon credits under comparable LCFS programs in other states. Volta earns revenue from the sale of these credits, and expects to continue to sell future credits, to entities that generate deficits under the LCFS programs and are obligated to purchase the credits and use them to offset their deficits or emissions, primarily petroleum refiners and marketers, and other entities that can use

56

the credits to comply with the program requirements. However, there is no guarantee that such credits will continue to be available for sale, including at prices forecasted by Volta, or that regulatory restrictions would not be imposed on the proceeds from the sale of such credits in the future. For example, LCFS credit pricing may fluctuate and may come under pressure if clean fuels, possibly including EVs, achieve a higher-than-expected market penetration. Further, Volta may not be able to market all LCFS credits, may have to sell LCFS credits at below projected prices or may not be able to sell LCFS credits at all. Additionally, the price at which the regulatory credits can be sold may not be known at the time the activities that generate the credits are undertaken. As a result, Volta bears the risk of any change in pricing of the credits between the time that the activities that generate the credits are undertaken and the time the credits are monetized, which Volta may not be able to mitigate through hedging transactions. LCFS program rules may also be revised in the future in ways that disadvantage certain types of clean fuels, including charging electricity used in EVs, or may not be extended further. In addition, Volta relies on various internally-developed and third-party software reporting tools to calculate the regulatory credits earned from Volta’s charging station network. Any failure by Volta to accurately calculate such credits, either due to a failure by Volta or any third-party software that it uses, could adversely affect Volta’s ability to sell, and the revenue it derives from the sale of, these credits and adversely affect Volta’s business and financial condition.

Additionally, tax credits available under Section 30C of the Code for the installation of certain EV charging equipment are presently set to expire at the end of 2021. Congress is considering extending the availability of those tax credits beyond 2021 as well as the applicability of those tax credits. Should Congress fail to do so, or provide for a narrow application of those credits, Volta may not be able to realize anticipated benefits from those credits. Any failure of Congress to extend the availability or applicability of those credits and any limitations imposed on Volta’s ability to derive any revenue or other income from those tax credits could adversely affect Volta’s business and financial condition.

Further, new tariffs and policies that could incentivize overbuilding of infrastructure may also have a negative impact on the economics of Volta’s charging stations. If Volta does not have the necessary tax or other attributes to obtain the benefits of or monetize any such credits and Volta’s existing competitors or new market entrants are able to do so on favorable terms or more efficiently, such competitors or new market entrants may be able to offer more favorable economics to business partners and drivers than Volta. If Volta is not eligible for grants or other incentives under any available programs, while Volta’s competitors are, it may adversely affect Volta’s competitiveness or results of operations.

The EV charging market is characterized by rapid technological change, which requires Volta to continue to develop new products and product innovations and maintain and expand its intellectual property portfolio. Any delays in such developments could adversely affect market adoption of Volta’s products and its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Continuing technological changes in battery and other EV technologies could adversely affect adoption of current EV charging technology, continuing and increasing reliance on EV charging infrastructure and/or the use of Volta’s products and services. In addition, evolving legal and regulatory requirements may drive further changes to EV charging technologies. Volta’s future success will depend in part upon its ability to develop and introduce a variety of new capabilities and innovations to its existing product offerings, to maintain and expand its existing intellectual property portfolio and to introduce a variety of new product and services offerings to address the changing needs of the EV charging market.

As EV technologies change, Volta may need to upgrade or adapt its charging station technology and introduce new products and services in order to serve vehicles that have the latest technology, in particular battery technology, which could involve substantial costs. In addition, changes in federal and state regulatory requirements, such as California’s Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Open Access Act, which regulates credit card payment functionality on EV charging stations, could require Volta to develop and adopt technologies for its charging stations that Volta would otherwise not adopt, in order to ensure it remains in compliance with applicable law. Even if Volta is able to keep pace with changes in technology and develop new products and services, its research and development expenses could increase, its financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected and its prior products could become obsolete more quickly than expected.

57

Volta cannot guarantee that any new EV charging stations it develops will be released in a timely manner, or at all, or achieve market acceptance. Delays in delivering new charging stations that appeal to Volta’s site hosts and content partners and meet driver demand could damage Volta’s relationships with its business partners and lead them to seek alternative products or services. Delays in introducing new products and innovations or the failure to offer innovative products or services at competitive prices may cause existing and potential business partners and drivers to use Volta’s competitors’ products or services.

If Volta is unable to devote adequate resources to develop improvements or enhancements to its existing charging stations or cannot otherwise successfully develop new products or services that meet the requirements of its business partners and drivers that use its EV charging stations on a timely basis or that remain competitive with technological alternatives, its products and services could lose market share, its revenue could decline, it may experience higher operating losses and its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Risks Related to Volta’s Technology, Intellectual Property and Infrastructure

Volta’s charging stations and mobile application platform could contain undetected defects, errors or bugs in hardware or software and, as an emerging technology, the full operating life of the equipment in Volta’s charging stations is not fully known and may malfunction through repeated use, any of which could result in property damage or bodily injury. If any of Volta’s or its competitors’ charging stations cause property damage or bodily injury, whether as the result of operator misuse, defect, malfunction or otherwise, the public may develop a negative perception of EVs, EV charging or Volta and its brand image, which could adversely affect Volta’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Volta is developing and operating in an emerging technology sector and the operating life of its charging station equipment and technologies is not fully known. Volta’s charging stations could contain undetected defects, errors or bugs in hardware or software or could malfunction through repeated use, exposure to the elements, vandalism or misuse or the passage of time, any of which could result in property damage or bodily injury. See also “— Risks Related to Volta’s Business — Volta’s charging stations are often located in outdoor areas that are publicly accessible and may be exposed to weather-related damage, inadvertent accidents or vandalism or misuse by drivers or other individuals, which could increase Volta’s replacement and maintenance costs.” If any of Volta’s charging stations cause property damage or bodily injury, whether due to undetected defects, errors or bugs or external circumstances, Volta may be subject to legal claims by site hosts and/or drivers that use its charging stations and its brand and reputation could be adversely affected, which could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if any EV charging stations owned or operated by Volta’s competitors cause property damage or bodily injury, the public may develop a negative perception of EVs and the EV charging industry generally, which could adversely affect Volta’s brand and reputation even if the incident was not related to Volta’s products or services.

If Volta is subject to claims that its charging stations have malfunctioned and persons were injured or purported to be injured, any insurance that Volta carries may not be sufficient or may not apply to all situations to cover all expenses arising from or in connection with such claims. Similarly, to the extent that such malfunctions are related to components obtained from third-party vendors, or third-party installers, such vendors may not assume responsibility for such malfunctions. Further, Volta relies on some single source suppliers and manufacturers, some of which are also early stage companies, the unavailability or failure of which can pose risks to supply chain or product shipping situations. See “— Risks Related to Volta’s Business — Volta relies on a limited number of suppliers and manufacturers for the manufacture and supply of Volta’s charging stations, some of which are also early stage companies. A loss of any of these partners or defects in or failure of the products with which they supply Volta could negatively affect Volta’s business.” If such malfunctions or injuries arise from components sourced from such suppliers or manufacturers, such suppliers or manufacturers may not have the financial capability to address their responsibility for any such malfunctions. In addition, Volta’s site hosts could be subjected to claims as a result of such incidents and may bring legal claims against Volta to attempt to hold it liable. Any of these events could adversely affect Volta’s brand, relationships with its site hosts and content partners, its reputation with drivers and its business, financial condition and results of operations.

58

Furthermore, Volta’s mobile application platform, which was recently developed by Volta, is complex and includes a number of licensed third-party commercial and open-source software libraries. Volta’s mobile application and other software platforms have contained defects and errors and may in the future contain undetected defects or errors. Volta is continuing to evolve the features and functionality of its mobile application platform through updates and enhancements, including, in particular, to include additional check-in and payment processing features, and there can be no assurance that Volta’s efforts to enhance existing features or develop new functionality for its mobile application will be successful at all or without introducing additional defects or errors that may not be detected until after deployment to users. Volta is also continuing to scale its technology team, which may not be successful in developing a robust, defect-free platform. If Volta’s products and services, including any updates or patches, are not implemented or used correctly or as intended, inadequate performance and disruptions in service may result, which could result in complaints from Volta’s business partners and drivers that use its products, lawsuits and adversely impact Volta’s brand and reputation.

As part of its service offerings, Volta also licenses certain predictive software to third parties to help them predict electricity grid needs and identify prospective EV charging penetration over time. Defects and errors in such software offerings, including as a result of the limited capacity of Volta’s currently scaling technology team, could harm Volta’s reputation with such utility companies and lead to loss of business and revenues.

Any defects or errors in product or services offerings, or the perception of such defects or errors, or other performance problems could result in any of the following, each of which could adversely affect Volta’s business, financial condition and results of operations:

•        expenditure of significant financial and product development resources, including recalls, in efforts to analyze, correct, eliminate or work around errors or defects;

•        loss of existing or potential business partners;

•        interruptions or delays in sales;

•        delayed or lost revenue;

•        delay or failure to attain market acceptance;

•        delay in the development or release of new functionality or improvements;

•        negative publicity and reputational harm, including with drivers that use Volta’s charging stations, leading to decreased demand for its products and services among its site hosts and content partners;

•        sales credits or refunds;

•        exposure of confidential, personal or proprietary information;

•        diversion of development and customer service resources;

•        breach of warranty claims;

•        legal claims under applicable laws, rules and regulations; and

•        the expense and risk of litigation.

Volta also faces the risk that any contractual protections it seeks to include in its agreements with site hosts, construction partners, content partners, suppliers and manufacturers are rejected, not implemented uniformly or may not fully or effectively protect from claims by such business partners or other third parties. Any insurance coverage or indemnification obligations of suppliers may not adequately cover all such claims, or cover only a portion of such claims. A successful product liability, warranty or other similar claim could have an adverse effect on Volta’s business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, even claims that ultimately are unsuccessful could result in expenditure of funds in litigation, divert management’s time and other resources and cause reputational harm.

59

In addition, Volta relies on some open-source software and libraries for development of its products and services and may continue to rely on similar licenses. Third parties may assert a copyright claim against Volta regarding its use of such software or libraries, which could lead to the adverse results listed above. Use of such software or libraries may also force Volta to provide third parties, at no cost, the source code to its proprietary software, which may decrease revenue and lessen any competitive advantage Volta has due to the secrecy of its source code.

Computer malware, viruses, ransomware, hacking, phishing attacks and other network disruptions could result in security and privacy breaches, loss of proprietary information and interruption in service, which would harm Volta’s business.

Computer malware, viruses, physical or electronic break-ins and similar disruptions in Volta’s EV charging stations, ad servers or internal systems could lead to interruption and delays in Volta’s services and operations and loss, misuse or theft of data. Computer malware, viruses, ransomware, hacking, phishing attacks or denial of service, against online networks have become more prevalent and may occur on Volta’s systems. Volta’s content-driven EV charging stations also contain digital displays and some contain cameras that may be susceptible to security breaches, cyber-attacks and hacking. In addition, as Volta implements payment card processing capabilities in its mobile application and charging stations, it may collect additional sensitive data that could be subject to data breach or targeting by bad actors. Any attempts by cyber attackers to disrupt Volta’s services or systems or to access and disrupt the operation of its EV charging stations, including by broadcasting content that may be deemed offensive or inappropriate or accessing and collecting charging station camera footage, if successful, could harm its business, introduce liability to data subjects, result in lawsuits or claims against Volta, result in the misappropriation of funds, be expensive to remedy, damage its reputation or brand and adversely affect its relationships with its site hosts, content partners, the payment card industry and drivers that use Volta’s charging stations. Insurance may not be sufficient to cover significant expenses and losses related to cyber-attacks. Even with the security measures implemented by Volta that are designed to detect and protect against cyber-attacks, and any additional measures Volta may implement or adopt in the future, Volta’s facilities and systems, and those of Volta’s EV charging stations and third-party service providers, could be vulnerable to security breaches, computer viruses, lost or misplaced data, programming errors, scams, burglary, human errors, acts of vandalism or other events. Efforts to prevent cyber attackers from entering computer systems are expensive to implement, and Volta may not be able to cause the implementation or enforcement of such preventions with respect to its third-party vendors. Though it is difficult to determine what, if any, harm may directly result from any specific interruption or attack, any failure to maintain performance, reliability, security and availability of systems and technical infrastructure, including on Volta’s charging stations, may, in addition to other losses, harm Volta’s reputation, brand and ability to attract customers.

Volta has and may in the future experience service disruptions, outages and other performance problems due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, third-party service providers, human or software errors and capacity constraints. Volta relies on carrier networks to support reliable operation, management and maintenance of its charger network, and charging session management and driver authentication depend, and payment processing will depend, on reliable connections with wireless communications networks. As a result, Volta’s operations depend on a handful of public carriers and are exposed to disruptions related to network outages and other communications issues on the carrier networks. See “— Risks Related to Volta’s Technology, Intellectual Property and Infrastructure — Interruptions, delays in service or inability to increase capacity with Volta’s cloud service providers could impair the use or functionality of Volta’s EV charging stations and other services, harm its business and subject it to liability.” If Volta’s EV charging stations or mobile application platform are unavailable when drivers attempt to access EV charging, they may seek other charging options from Volta’s competitors, which could reduce demand for its solutions from its site hosts and content partners.

There are several factors ranging from human error to data corruption that could materially impact the efficacy of any processes and procedures designed to enable Volta to recover from a disaster or catastrophe, including by lengthening the time services are partially or fully unavailable. For example, Volta relies on a centralized ad server for purposes of delivering its content across its EV charging station network. A disruption of Volta’s ad server due to cyber-attack, human error, natural catastrophe or otherwise could result in Volta being unable to meet its obligations to its content partners, resulting in significant loss of revenue and reputational harm with Volta’s business partners. It may be difficult or impossible to perform some or all recovery steps and continue normal business operations due to the nature of a particular cyber-attack, disaster or catastrophe or other disruption, especially during peak periods, which could cause additional reputational damages, or loss of revenues, any of which could adversely affect Volta’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

60

Unauthorized disclosure of personal or sensitive data or confidential information, whether through a breach of Volta’s computer systems or otherwise, could severely hurt its business.

Some aspects of Volta’s business involve the collection, receipt, use, storage, processing and transmission of personal information (of drivers that use its mobile applications, including names, addresses, e-mail addresses and, if Volta enhances its mobile application platform to include payment processing capability, payment and financial information through its payment processors), temporary footage from cameras in certain of its charging stations, driver preferences and confidential information and personal data about Volta’s customers and employees, its suppliers and Volta, some of which is entrusted to third-party service providers and vendors. Volta increasingly relies on commercially available systems, software, tools (including encryption technology) and monitoring to provide security and oversight for processing, transmission, storage and protection of confidential information and personal data.

Despite the security measures Volta has in place, its EV charging stations, facilities, computing equipment (including laptops and tablets) and systems, and those of third parties with which Volta does business, may be vulnerable to security breaches, acts of vandalism and theft, computer viruses, misplaced or lost data, programming and/or human errors, or other similar events, and there is no guarantee that inadvertent or unauthorized use or disclosure will not occur or that third parties will not gain unauthorized access to this type of confidential information and personal data. See also “— Computer malware, viruses, ransomware, hacking, phishing attacks and other network disruptions could result in security and privacy breaches, loss of proprietary information and interruption in service, which would harm Volta’s business.”

Electronic security attacks designed to gain access to personal, sensitive or confidential information data by breaching mission critical systems of large organizations are constantly evolving, and high profile electronic security breaches leading to unauthorized disclosure of confidential information or personal data have occurred recently at a number of major U.S. companies. Attempts by computer hackers or other unauthorized third parties to penetrate or otherwise gain access to Volta’s computer systems or the systems of third parties with which Volta does business, or to the digital displays, camera feeds or other functions of Volta’s EV charging stations through cyber-attacks, hacking, fraud or other means of deceit, if successful, may result in the misappropriation of personal information, data, confidential business information and, following Volta’s implementation of payment processing functionality, payment information. Hardware, software or applications Volta utilizes may contain defects in design or manufacture or other problems that could unexpectedly compromise information security. In addition, Volta’s employees, contractors or third parties with which Volta does business or to which Volta outsources business operations may attempt to circumvent its security measures in order to misappropriate such information and data, and may purposefully or inadvertently cause a breach or other compromise involving such information and data. Despite advances in security hardware, software and encryption technologies, the methods and tools used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service or sabotage systems are constantly changing and evolving, and may be difficult to anticipate or detect for long periods of time. Volta is implementing and updating its processes and procedures to protect against unauthorized access to, or use of, secured data and to prevent data loss. However, the ever-evolving threats mean Volta and its third-party service providers and vendors must continually evaluate and adapt their respective systems, procedures, controls and processes, and there is no guarantee that they will be adequate to safeguard against all data security breaches, misappropriating of confidential information, or misuses of personal data. Moreover, because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not identified until they are launched against a target, Volta and its suppliers or vendors may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative or mitigation measures.

Despite Volta’s precautions, an electronic security breach in Volta’s systems (or in the systems of third parties with which Volta does business) that results in the unauthorized release of personally identifiable information regarding business partners, users, employees or other individuals or other sensitive data could nonetheless occur and lead to serious disruption of Volta’s operations, financial losses from remedial actions, loss of business or potential liability, including possible punitive damages and significant harm to Volta’s reputation with its business partners and drivers that use its charging stations. As a result, Volta could be subject to demands, claims and litigation by private parties, and investigations, related actions and penalties by regulatory authorities. In addition, Volta could incur significant costs in notifying affected persons and entities and otherwise complying with the multitude of federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the unauthorized access to, or use or disclosure of, personal information.

61

Finally, any perceived or actual unauthorized access to, or use or disclosure of, such information could harm Volta’s reputation, substantially impair its ability to attract and retain business partners and maintain the trust of drivers for the use of its EV charging stations and have an adverse impact on Volta’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, as the regulatory environment relating to companies’ obligation to protect such sensitive data becomes increasingly rigorous, with new and constantly changing requirements applicable to Volta’s business, compliance with those requirements could result in additional costs, and a material failure on its part to comply could subject Volta to fines or other regulatory sanctions and potentially to lawsuits. Any of the foregoing could have an adverse effect on Volta’s business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Growing Volta’s business and user base depends upon the effective operation of Volta’s mobile applications with mobile operating systems, networks and standards that Volta does not control.

Volta is dependent on the interoperability of its mobile applications with popular mobile operating systems that Volta does not control, such as Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS, and any changes in such systems that degrade the functionality of Volta’s application or give preferential treatment to competitive applications and products could adversely affect the usage of Volta’s applications on mobile devices. Additionally, in order to deliver high quality mobile products, it is important that Volta’s products work well with a range of mobile technologies, systems, networks and standards that Volta does not control. For example, Volta is in discussions with OEMs to integrate its mobile application platform into EV user interfaces, which may operate on differing and proprietary operating systems. Any failure to build business relationships with such OEMs or to successfully implement any necessary changes to Volta’s mobile application to ensure interoperability with such operating systems, including as a result of the limited capacity of Volta’s currently scaling technology team, may adversely affect Volta’s ability to grow its business. Volta may not be successful in developing relationships with key participants in the mobile industry or in developing products that operate effectively with the technologies, systems, networks or standards used by such key participants, which could have an adverse effect on Volta’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Volta may need to defend against intellectual property infringement or misappropriation claims, which may be time-consuming and expensive.

From time to time, the holders of intellectual property rights may assert their rights and urge Volta to take licenses, and/or may bring suits alleging infringement or misappropriation of such rights. There can be no assurance that Volta will be able to mitigate the risk of potential suits or other legal demands by competitors or other third parties. Accordingly, Volta may consider entering into licensing agreements with respect to such rights, although no assurance can be given that such licenses can be obtained on acceptable terms or that litigation will not occur, and such licenses and associated litigation could significantly increase Volta’s operating expenses. In addition, if Volta is determined to have or believes there is a high likelihood that it has infringed upon or misappropriated a third party’s intellectual property rights, it may be required to cease making, selling or incorporating certain key components or intellectual property into the products and services it offers, to pay substantial damages and/or royalties, to redesign its products and services and/or to establish and maintain alternative branding. In addition, to the extent that Volta’s business partners become the subject of any allegation or claim regarding the infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property rights related to Volta’s products and services, Volta may be required to indemnify such business partners. If Volta were required to take one or more such actions, its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, any litigation or claims, whether or not valid, could result in substantial costs, negative publicity and diversion of resources and management attention.

Volta’s business may be adversely affected if it is unable to protect its technology and intellectual property from unauthorized use by third parties.

Volta’s success depends, at least in part, on Volta’s ability to protect its core technology and intellectual property. To accomplish this, Volta relies on, and plans to continue relying on, a combination of patents, trade secrets (including know-how), employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements, copyrights, trademarks, intellectual property licenses and other contractual rights to retain ownership of, and protect, its technology, though Volta is currently in the early stages of securing its portfolio of core technology and intellectual property. In addition, as Volta considers continued international expansion, including to the EU, Volta may encounter conflicts with existing EU market participants that have similar branding or have secured rights to copyrights or trademarks that Volta holds

62

in the U.S., which may limit its ability to strengthen its brand in the EU and generally. Failure to adequately protect its technology and intellectual property could result in competitors offering similar products, potentially resulting in the loss of some of Volta’s competitive advantage and a decrease in revenue which would adversely affect its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

The measures Volta takes to protect its technology intellectual property from unauthorized use by others may not be effective for various reasons, including the following:

•        any patent applications Volta submits may not result in the issuance of patents;

•        the scope of issued patents may not be broad enough to protect proprietary rights;

•        any issued patents may be challenged by competitors and/or invalidated by courts or governmental authorities;

•        the costs associated with enforcing patents, confidentiality and invention agreements or other intellectual property rights may make aggressive enforcement impracticable;

•        current and future competitors may circumvent patents or independently develop similar trade secrets or works of authorship, such as software;

•        know-how and other proprietary information Volta purports to hold as a trade secret may not qualify as a trade secret under applicable laws; and

•        proprietary designs and technology embodied in Volta’s products may be discoverable by third-parties through means that do not constitute violations of applicable laws.

Patent, trademark and trade secret laws vary significantly throughout the world. Some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Further, policing the unauthorized use of its intellectual property in foreign jurisdictions may be difficult or impossible. Therefore, Volta’s intellectual property rights may not be as strong or as easily enforced outside of the United States, including in jurisdictions to which Volta may desire to expand its business.

Further, competitors, suppliers or vendors may, in certain instances, be free to create variations or derivative works of Volta technology and intellectual property, and those derivative works may become directly competitive with Volta’s offerings. Finally, Volta may not be able to leverage, or obtain ownership of, all technology and intellectual property developed by Volta’s vendors, suppliers and design consultants in connection with the design and manufacture of Volta’s products, thereby jeopardizing Volta’s ability to obtain a competitive advantage over its competitors.

The current lack of industry standards may lead to uncertainty, additional competition and further unexpected costs.

The EV industry is new and evolving, as are the standards governing EV charging which have not had the benefit of time-tested use cases. These immature industry standards could result in future incompatibilities and issues that could require significant resources and/or time to remedy. Currently, many EVs do not use standardized charging inputs, including for DCFC, such that the charging ports available of EV charging stations may not serve all makes and models of EVs. Utilities and other large market participants also mandate their own adoption of specifications that have not become widely adopted in the industry, may hinder innovation or slow new product or new feature introduction. If Volta’s EV charging stations are not able to serve all models of EVs, or the EV industry develops new charging standards that are incompatible with Volta’s current charging stations, Volta may be required to redesign and redeploy charging stations compatible with the new industry standards, which may require significant capital expenditures and could adversely affect Volta’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, automobile manufacturers, such as Tesla, may choose to develop and promulgate their own proprietary charging standards and systems, which could lock out competitors’ EV charging stations from being compatible with Tesla’s or such other automobile manufacturers’ vehicles, or to use their size and market position to influence the market, which could limit Volta’s market and ability to provide charging to drivers that use such EVs,

63

negatively impacting its business. The charging stations developed by Tesla and such other automobile manufacturers may still be able to service other models of EVs, which could impact site host demand for Volta charging stations and, as a result, impact content partner demand for Volta’s content services.

Further, should regulatory bodies later impose a standard that is not compatible with Volta’s infrastructure or products, it may incur significant costs to adapt its business model to the new regulatory standard. For example, Volta could be required to make additional expenditures to develop multiple types of charging stations in order to remain eligible for regulatory credits and incentives, such as LCFS. Any changes in Volta’s business model or products driven by changing regulatory requirements may require significant time and expense to address and, as a result, may have an adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

Interruptions, delays in service or inability to increase capacity with Volta’s cloud service providers could impair the use or functionality of Volta’s EV charging stations and other services, harm its business and subject it to liability.

Volta currently serves its business partners and drivers using third-party cloud service providers, primarily Amazon Web Services and Google, as well as others. Any outage or failure of such cloud services could negatively affect Volta’s product connectivity and performance, including the ad server that delivers Volta’s content across all of its EV charging stations. Further, Volta depends on connectivity from its charging stations to its data network through cellular service and virtual private networking providers, such as AT&T and Verizon. Any incident affecting a cloud service provider’s network or a cellular and/or virtual private networking services provider’s infrastructure or operations, whether caused by fire, flood, storm, earthquake, power loss, telecommunications failures, breach of security protocols, computer viruses and disabling devices, failure of access control mechanisms, natural disasters, war, criminal act, military actions, terrorist attacks and other similar events could negatively affect the use, functionality or availability of Volta’s EV charging stations and services.

Any damage to, or failure of, Volta’s systems, or those of its third-party cloud service providers, could interrupt or hinder the use or functionality of its services, including its ability to meet obligations to its content partners and deliver content across its EV charging network. Impairment of or interruptions in Volta’s ability to deliver content or in the operation of its mobile application or charging stations may reduce revenue, subject it to claims and litigation and adversely affect its ability to attract new content partners and site hosts. Volta’s business will also be harmed if its business partners and drivers that use its charging stations believe its products and services are unreliable.

Volta expects to incur research and development costs and devote significant resources to developing new products, which could significantly reduce its profitability and may never result in revenue to Volta.

Volta’s future growth depends on penetrating new markets, adapting existing products to any new or developing EV charging industry standards and driver requirements and preferences and introducing new or enhanced EV charging stations that achieve market acceptance. Volta plans to incur significant research and development costs in the future as part of its efforts to design, develop, manufacture and introduce new products and enhance existing products. Further, Volta’s research and development program may not produce successful results, and its new products may not achieve market acceptance, create additional revenue or become profitable.

Volta intends to continue to incur costs and devote significant resources to the research and development of machine learning-driven predictive software tools, such as its PredictEVTM tool, which could significantly reduce its profitability and may never be commercialized or result in revenue to Volta.

Volta uses its propriety machine learning-driven network planning tool to facilitate planning of its future expansion efforts and site, strategic partner and user targeting and currently derives revenue from the licensing of its PredictEVTM software tool to utility companies, channel partners and other third parties. Volta intends to continue to devote significant resources to the research and development of additional machine learning-driven predictive software tools that are complementary to its business model and to seek opportunities to commercialize such tools through licensing, subscription or other arrangements to generate revenue. Volta may incur substantial research and development costs as part of its efforts to design, develop and introduce such new predictive software tools, which could significantly reduce its profitability. In addition, Volta’s efforts may not produce successful results and, if completed, its predictive tools may not achieve market acceptance, create additional revenue or become profitable

64

and may not provide benefits for Volta’s business efforts. Further, Volta may elect to discontinue such efforts at any time and may not receive any return on its investment in such efforts and the costs it incurs in connection with such research and development activities and the development of such predictive software.

Customer-Related Risks

The expected shift in Volta’s business model from free EV charging to pay-for-use and the requirement of mobile check-ins may impact Volta’s ability to retain driver interest in its charging stations and adversely affect content partner and site host demand.

Volta currently offers sponsored charging on most of its EV charging stations, which results in free electricity for drivers. As Volta’s EV charging network and business model continue to expand and evolve, Volta intends to introduce an ability for drivers to earn free charging or use paid charging services on more of its charging stations, as well as idle fees for EVs that remain connected to a charging station beyond a specified period of time after charging is complete. If Volta switches from a sponsored EV charging to a pay-for-use model, it may lose market share with drivers who have become accustomed to Volta’s free-to-driver sponsored charging and do not wish to use paid charging services, or prefer the paid charging services of Volta’s competitors. In addition, Volta does not currently require drivers to check in on its mobile application in order to use its EV charging stations but intends to require this in the near future. This requirement may cost Volta market share with drivers who have become accustomed to charging without checking in. The anticipated transition to a paid charging model, as well as the implementation of mobile check-in features, if they prove to be unpopular with drivers, may also result in reduced demand for Volta’s charging stations from its site partners, if site hosts believe the shift will lead to decreased utilization of Volta charging stations by drivers and lower driver engagement at their sites. Further, if Volta is not able to successfully integrate its anticipated payment processing or check-in features into its mobile application platform, either at all or without errors or defects, or such features do not operate reliably or in a manner that is convenient and easy to use, drivers may consider Volta’s charging services to be unreliable or undesirable and may elect to use competitors’ chargers. See also “— Risks Related to Volta’s Technology, Intellectual Property and Infrastructure — Computer malware, viruses, ransomware, hacking, phishing attacks and other network disruptions could result in security and privacy breaches, loss of proprietary information and interruption in service, which would harm Volta’s business.”

The transition to a pay-for-use model may also subject Volta to additional regulatory and payment card industry requirements associated with its payment model, which may require it to implement additional changes to its EV charging stations and may impact the price at which it is able to provide EV charging to drivers, further impacting demand for charging on Volta’s charging stations. Any decrease in driver demand for Volta’s EV charging stations may impact demand for its charging stations among site hosts, and Volta’s inability to expand its charging station footprint in existing and new markets may have an adverse impact on its ability to generate and grow content revenue from its charging network. If Volta is not able to appropriately market its new charging station payment and check-in features and to continue to retain and enhance its brand and reputation among business partners and drivers, its brand and reputation could be harmed and its business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

If Volta fails to offer high-quality support to site partners and drivers, its business and reputation could suffer.

Once Volta charging stations have been installed, site hosts and drivers will rely on Volta to provide support services to resolve any issues that might arise in the future. Rapid and high-quality customer and equipment support is important so host sites can provide charging services and drivers can receive reliable charging for their EVs. The importance of high-quality customer and equipment support will increase as Volta seeks to expand its business and pursue new business partners and geographies and to enhance the functionality of its EV charging stations and mobile application, including its addition of paid charging and payment processing features. If Volta does not quickly resolve issues and provide effective support and adequately expand its construction project manager team, its ability to retain business partners and driver demand for its charging stations could suffer and its brand and reputation could be harmed.

65

Volta may be unable to collect and leverage customer data in all geographic locations, and this limitation may impact research and development, content sales, partnership relations and operations.

Volta relies on data collected through its EV charging stations or its mobile application. Volta uses this data in connection with the research, development and analysis of its technologies, creating and delivering value-add customer services, including the predictive software offering it licenses to certain utilities, and in assessing future charger locations as well as charging site capacities and utilization. Volta’s inability to obtain necessary rights to use this data or freely transfer this data could result in delays or otherwise negatively impact Volta’s research and development and expansion efforts and limit Volta’s ability to derive revenues from its content or other value-add customer services. For instance, user privacy regulations may limit Volta’s ability to make intelligent, data driven business decisions, conduct microtargeting marketing strategies for charger station placement and content revenue generation or provide other microtargeting based offerings to Volta’s content partners, site hosts and other business partners.

Volta’s success in the licensing of its PredictEVTM tool as a software as a service (“SaaS”) offering will depend on its ability to attract new licensing customers and retain existing licensing customers. If Volta’s licensing customers do not renew their subscriptions or if Volta fails to attract new licensing customers, Volta’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

In addition to its EV charging offerings, Volta licenses its proprietary PredictEVTM planning software to utility companies, channel partners and other third parties through a software as a service offering. In order for Volta to continue to generate revenue from the licensing of its PredictEVTM tool, it is important that its existing customers renew their subscriptions when the contract term expires, that Volta continue to develop additional subscription services to offer to customers and that Volta attract additional partners that are interested in licensing the PredictEVTM tool. Customers may decide not to renew their subscriptions with a similar contract period or at the same prices or terms. Customer retention may decline or fluctuate, and Volta may be unsuccessful in attracting new licensing customers, as a result of a number of factors, including satisfaction with software and features, functionality and accuracy, as well as features and pricing of competing predictive software products or reductions in spending levels among current or prospective customers. If licensing customers do not renew their subscriptions or if they renew on less favorable terms, or if Volta is unable to attract new customers for the licensing of its PredictEVTM tool, Volta’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Financial and Accounting-Related Risks

Volta’s financial condition and results of operations are likely to fluctuate on a quarterly basis in future periods, which could cause its results for a particular period to fall below expectations, resulting in a decline in the price of New Volta Common Stock.

Volta’s financial condition and results of operations have fluctuated in the past and may continue to fluctuate in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are beyond its control.

In addition to the other risks described herein, the following factors could also cause Volta’s financial condition and results of operations to fluctuate on a quarterly basis:

•        the timing and volume of new sales;

•        fluctuations in service costs, particularly due to unexpected costs of servicing and maintaining charging stations;

•        the timing of new product introductions, which can initially have lower gross margins;

•        weaker than anticipated demand for charging stations, whether due to changes in government incentives and policies or due to other conditions;

•        fluctuations in sales and marketing or research and development expenses;

•        supply chain interruptions and manufacturing or delivery delays;

66

•        the timing and availability of new products relative to Volta’s commercial partners’ and investors’ expectations;

•        the length of the sales and installation cycle for a particular site partner;

•        the impact of COVID-19 on Volta’s workforce, or those of its commercial partners, suppliers or vendors or on customers;

•        disruptions in sales, production, service or other business activities or Volta’s inability to attract and retain qualified personnel; and

•        unanticipated changes in federal, state, local or foreign government incentive programs, which can affect demand for EVs.

Fluctuations in operating results and cash flow could, among other things, give rise to short-term liquidity issues. In addition, revenue, and other operating results in future quarters may fall short of the expectations of investors and financial analysts, which could have an adverse effect on the price of the New Volta Common Stock.

Volta’s reported financial results may be negatively impacted by changes in U.S. GAAP.

U.S. GAAP is subject to interpretation by the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), the SEC and various bodies formed to promulgate and interpret appropriate accounting principles. A change in these principles or interpretations could have a significant effect on reported financial results, and may even affect the reporting of transactions completed before the announcement or effectiveness of a change.

Risks Related to Legal Matters and Regulations

Government regulation of outdoor media may restrict Volta’s content activities.

U.S. federal, state and local regulations have a significant impact on the outdoor media industry and may have an impact on Volta’s content activities. Construction, repair, maintenance, lighting, upgrading, height, size, spacing, the location and permitting of outdoor digital displays and the use of new technologies for changeable displays, such as digital displays, may be regulated by federal, state and local governments, and, from time to time, governments have prohibited or significantly limited the construction of new outdoor media displays or structures. Since digital displays have been developed and introduced relatively recently into the market on a large scale, existing regulations that currently do not apply to them by their terms could be revised or new regulations could be enacted to impose greater restrictions on digital displays due to alleged concerns over aesthetics or driver safety, which could make it more difficult for Volta to expand its content-driven EV charging stations to new locations and markets or could require Volta to remove display-enabled stations from existing installed locations. In addition, Volta’s failure to comply with these or any future regulations that become applicable to its digital displays could have an adverse impact on the effectiveness of its displays or their attractiveness to Volta’s business partners as a media medium. As a result, Volta’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Further, a number of state and local governments have implemented or initiated taxes, fees and registration requirements in an effort to decrease or restrict the number of outdoor signs and/or to raise revenue. Several jurisdictions have imposed such taxes as a percentage of outdoor media revenue generated in that jurisdiction or based on the size and type of display technology. Volta expects various jurisdictions to continue to try to impose such taxes as a way of increasing revenue. The increased imposition of these measures or their application to Volta’s digital displays, and Volta’s inability to overcome any such measures, could reduce its operating income if those outcomes result in restrictions on the use of preexisting displays or limit Volta’s ability to expand its content-driven EV charging stations to new sites and markets. Changes in laws and regulations affecting outdoor media or digital displays, or changes in the interpretation of those laws and regulations, at any level of government, could have a significant financial impact on Volta by requiring Volta to make significant expenditures to ensure compliance or otherwise limiting or restricting its content sales activities and could have an adverse effect on Volta’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

67

Privacy concerns and laws, or other applicable regulations, may adversely affect Volta’s business.

National and local governments and agencies in the jurisdictions in which Volta operates or may operate in the future and in which Volta’s commercial partners operate have adopted, are considering adopting or may adopt laws and regulations regarding the collection, use, storage, processing and disclosure of information regarding users and other individuals, which could impact Volta’s ability to offer services in certain jurisdictions, including additional jurisdictions in which it may wish to expand its operations. Laws and regulations relating to the collection, use, disclosure, security and other processing of individuals’ information can vary significantly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, laws, regulations, standards and other obligations relating to privacy, data protection and information security are significant. In addition, some companies, particularly larger enterprises, often will not contract with vendors that do not meet these rigorous standards. Accordingly, the failure, or perceived inability, to comply with these laws, regulations, standards and other obligations may limit the use and adoption of Volta’s charging stations and other offerings, reduce overall demand, lead to regulatory investigations, litigation and significant fines, penalties or liabilities for actual or alleged noncompliance, or slow the pace at which Volta closes sales transactions, any of which could harm Volta’s business, financial condition or results of operations. Moreover, if Volta or any of its employees or contractors fail or are believed to fail to adhere to appropriate practices regarding commercial partners’ or users’ data, it may damage its reputation and brand.

Additionally, existing laws, regulations, standards and other obligations may be interpreted in new and differing manners in the future, and may be inconsistent among jurisdictions. Future laws, regulations, standards and other obligations, and changes in the interpretation of existing laws, regulations, standards and other obligations could result in increased regulation, increased costs of compliance and penalties for non-compliance, and limitations on data collection, use, disclosure and transfer for Volta and its commercial partners. For example, California adopted the California Consumer Privacy Protection Act (the “CCPA”) and the California State Attorney General has begun enforcement actions against various parties alleged to have failed to comply with the CCPA.

The costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, laws and regulations relating to privacy, data protection and information security that are applicable to the businesses of Volta’s commercial partners, suppliers and vendors may adversely affect their ability and willingness to process, handle, store, use and transmit certain types of information, such as demographic and other personal information. If Volta or its commercial partners, suppliers or vendors are unable to transfer data between and among jurisdictions in which they operate, it could result in delays in the sale or installation of, or decrease demand for, Volta’s products and services or require Volta to modify or restrict some of its products or services.

In addition to government activity, privacy advocacy groups, the technology industry and other industries have established or may establish various new, additional or different self-regulatory standards that may place additional burdens on technology companies. Drivers and commercial partners may expect that Volta will meet voluntary certifications or adhere to other standards established by them or third parties. If Volta is unable to maintain these certifications or meet these standards, it could reduce demand for its solutions and adversely affect its business.

Failure to comply with laws relating to employment could subject Volta to penalties and other adverse consequences.

Volta is subject to various employment-related laws in the jurisdictions in which its employees are based. It faces risks if it fails to comply with applicable United States federal or state wage laws and wage laws of the international jurisdictions where it currently operates or may operate in the future. Any violation of applicable wage laws or other labor- or employment-related laws could result in complaints by current or former employees, adverse media coverage, investigations and damages or penalties which could have a materially adverse effect on Volta’s reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, responding to any such proceedings may result in a significant diversion of management’s attention and resources, significant defense costs and the incurrence of other professional fees.

Volta is, and will continue to be, subject to environmental, health and safety laws and regulations that could result in increased compliance costs or additional operating costs or construction costs and restrictions.

Volta and its operations, as well as those of Volta’s contractors and suppliers, are and will be subject to certain federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, including laws relating to the use, handling,

68

storage, transportation and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, as well as electronic wastes and hardware, whether hazardous or not. Volta or others in Volta’s supply chain may be required to obtain permits and comply with procedures that impose various restrictions and obligations that could have adverse effects on Volta’s operations. If key permits and approvals cannot be obtained on acceptable terms, or if other operational requirements cannot be met in a manner satisfactory for Volta’s operations or on a timeline that meets Volta’s commercial obligations, it may adversely impact Volta’s business.

Environmental and health and safety laws and regulations can be complex and may be subject to change through future amendments to such laws at the supranational, national, sub-national and/or local level or other new or modified regulations that may be implemented under existing laws. The nature and extent of any changes in these laws, rules, regulations and permits may be uncertain and unpredictable and could have an adverse effect on Volta’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Future legislation and regulations or changes in existing legislation and regulations, or interpretations thereof, including those relating to hardware manufacturing, electronic waste or batteries, could cause additional expenditures, restrictions and delays in connection with Volta’s operations as well as other future projects, the extent of which cannot be predicted. Additionally, Volta could be regulated as a retail electric service provider in the future.

Volta currently relies on third parties to ensure compliance with certain environmental laws, including those related to the disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes, to include end-of-life disposal or recycling. Any failure to properly handle or dispose of such wastes, regardless of whether such failure is Volta’s or its contractors, may result in liability under environmental laws, including, but not limited to, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), under which liability may be imposed, without regard to fault or degree of contribution, for the investigation and clean-up of contaminated sites as well as impacts to human health and damages to natural resources. The costs of liability with respect to contamination could have a material adverse effect on Volta’s business, financial condition or results of operations. Additionally, Volta may not be able to secure contracts with third parties and contractors to continue their key supply chain and disposal services for its business, which may result in increased costs for compliance with environmental laws and regulations.

Separately, Volta and its operations are subject to an increasing number of laws and regulations regarding Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) matters. For example, the FTC has published guidance, the FTC “Green Guides,” regarding the marketing of products or services as using renewable energy or resulting in carbon offsets. Volta may also be subject to various supply chain requirements regarding, among other things, conflict minerals and labor practices. Volta may be required to incur substantial costs to comply with these requirements, and the failure to comply may result in substantial fines or other penalties that may adversely impact Volta’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

Volta is or will be subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, financial and economic sanctions and similar laws, and non-compliance with such laws can subject Volta to administrative, civil and criminal fines and penalties, collateral consequences, remedial measures and legal expenses, all of which could adversely affect its business, results of operations, financial condition and reputation.

Volta is or will be subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, financial and economic sanctions and similar laws and regulations in various jurisdictions in which it conducts or in the future may conduct activities, including the FCPA and other anti-corruption laws and regulations. The FCPA prohibits Volta and its officers, directors, employees and business partners acting on its behalf, including agents, from corruptly offering, promising, authorizing or providing anything of value to a “foreign official” for the purposes of influencing official decisions or obtaining or retaining business or otherwise obtaining favorable treatment. The FCPA also requires companies to make and keep books, records and accounts that accurately reflect transactions and dispositions of assets and to maintain a system of adequate internal accounting controls. A violation of these laws or regulations could adversely affect Volta’s business, results of operations, financial condition and reputation. Volta’s policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with these regulations may not be sufficient and its directors, officers, employees, representatives, consultants, agents and business partners could engage in improper conduct for which it may be held responsible.

Non-compliance with anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering or financial and economic sanctions laws could subject Volta to whistleblower complaints, adverse media coverage, investigations and severe administrative, civil and criminal sanctions, collateral consequences, remedial measures and legal expenses, all

69

of which could materially and adversely affect Volta’s business, results of operations, financial condition and reputation. In addition, changes in economic sanctions laws in the future could adversely impact Volta’s business and investments in its common stock.

Risks Relating to Ownership of the New Volta Common Stock after the Closing of the Business Combination

The dual class structure of New Volta’s Common Stock has the effect of concentrating voting control with Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel, Volta’s co-founders, members of the Volta Board and its Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively. This will limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters, including the outcome of important transactions, including a change in control.

Shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock will have ten votes per share, while shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock will have one vote per share. Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel, Volta’s co-founders, members of the Volta Board and its Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively, will hold all of the issued and outstanding shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock following the Closing of the Business Combination. Accordingly, Messrs. Mercer and Wendel will hold approximately 37.3% of the voting power of New Volta’s capital stock on a fully-diluted basis (assuming, among other things, that no public shareholders elect to have their public shares redeemed) and will be able to control matters submitted to its stockholders for approval, including the election of directors, amendments of its organizational documents and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of New Volta’s assets or other major corporate transactions. Messrs. Mercer and Wendel may have interests that differ from yours and may vote in a way with which you disagree and which may be adverse to your interests. This concentrated control may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of New Volta, could deprive its stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their capital stock as part of a sale of New Volta and might ultimately affect the market price of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock. For information about New Volta’s dual class structure, see the section titled “Description of Securities.”

New Volta’s dual class structure may depress the trading price of New Volta’s Class A Common Stock.

New Volta cannot predict whether its dual class structure will result in a lower or more volatile market price of the New Volta Class A Common Stock or in adverse publicity or other adverse consequences. For example, certain index providers have announced restrictions on including companies with multiple-class share structures in certain of their indexes. S&P Dow Jones and FTSE Russell have announced changes to their eligibility criteria for inclusion of shares of public companies on certain indices, including the S&P 500, pursuant to which companies with multiple classes of shares of common stock are excluded. In addition, several stockholder advisory firms have announced their opposition to the use of multiple class structures. As a result, the dual class structure of New Volta’s Common Stock may cause stockholder advisory firms to publish negative commentary about New Volta’s corporate governance practices or otherwise seek to cause New Volta to change its capital structure. Any such exclusion from indices or any actions or publications by stockholder advisory firms critical of New Volta’s corporate governance practices or capital structure could adversely affect the value and trading market of the New Volta Class A Common Stock.

New Volta will be a controlled company within the meaning of the NYSE rules, and, as a result, qualifies for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that provide protection to stockholders of other companies. To the extent New Volta utilizes any of these exemptions, you will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements. New Volta does not currently intend to rely on the exemptions afforded to controlled companies at this time.

So long as more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors of New Volta is held by an individual, a group or another company, New Volta will qualify as a “controlled company” under NYSE rules. Following the completion of the business combination, Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will control a majority of the voting power of New Volta’s outstanding capital stock. As a result, New Volta will be a “controlled company” under NYSE rules. As a controlled company, New Volta will be exempt from certain NYSE corporate governance requirements, including those that would otherwise require the New Volta Board to have a majority of independent directors and require that New Volta either establish compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees, each comprised entirely of independent directors, or otherwise ensure that the compensation of New Volta’s executive officers and nominees for directors are determined or recommended to the New Volta Board by the independent directors. While New Volta does not currently intend to rely on any of these exemptions, it will be

70

entitled to do so for as long as New Volta is considered a “controlled company,” and to the extent it relies on one or more of these exemptions, holders of New Volta Common Stock will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the NYSE corporate governance requirements.

Volta has never paid cash dividends on its capital stock, and New Volta does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.

Volta has never paid cash dividends on its capital stock and currently intends to retain any future earnings to fund the growth of its business. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of the New Volta Board and will depend on New Volta’s financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors that the New Volta Board may deem relevant. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of New Volta’s Class A Common Stock will be the sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

The stock price following the Closing of the Business Combination will be volatile, and you may not be able to sell shares at or above the price at the Closing.

After the Closing of the Business Combination, the trading price of the New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Warrants will be volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond New Volta’s control. These factors include:

•        actual or anticipated fluctuations in operating results;

•        failure to meet or exceed financial estimates and projections of the investment community or that New Volta provides to the public;

•        issuance of new or updated research or reports by securities analysts or changed recommendations for the industry in general;

•        announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, collaborations or capital commitments;

•        operating and share price performance of other companies in the industry or related markets;

•        the timing and magnitude of investments in the growth of the business;

•        actual or anticipated changes in laws and regulations;

•        additions or departures of key management or other personnel;

•        increased labor costs;

•        disputes or other developments related to intellectual property or other proprietary rights, including litigation;

•        the ability to market new and enhanced solutions on a timely basis;

•        sales of substantial amounts of the New Volta Class A Common Stock by New Volta’s directors, executive officers or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur;

•        changes in capital structure, including future issuances of securities or the incurrence of debt; and

•        general economic, political and market conditions.

In addition, the stock market in general, and the stock prices of technology companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. Broad market and industry factors may seriously affect the market price of New Volta Class A Common Stock, regardless of actual operating performance. In addition, in the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market price of a particular company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against these companies. This litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources.

71

Anti-takeover provisions contained in the Proposed Organizational Documents and applicable laws could impair a takeover attempt.

Upon the Closing of the Business Combination, the Proposed Organizational Documents will afford certain rights and powers to the New Volta Board that could contribute to the delay or prevention of an acquisition that it deems undesirable. New Volta will also be subject to Section 203 of the DGCL and other provisions of Delaware law that limit the ability of stockholders in certain situations to effect certain business combinations. Any of the foregoing provisions and terms that have the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for the New Volta Class A Common Stock. See also “Description of the Securities.”

New Volta is subject to risks related to taxation in the United States.

Significant judgments based on interpretations of existing tax laws or regulations are required in determining New Volta’s provision for income taxes. New Volta’s effective income tax rate could be adversely affected by various factors, including, but not limited to, changes in the mix of earnings in tax jurisdictions with different statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes in existing tax policies, laws, regulations or rates, changes in the level of non-deductible expenses (including share-based compensation), changes in the location of New Volta’s operations, changes in New Volta’s future levels of research and development spending, mergers and acquisitions or the results of examinations by various tax authorities. Although New Volta believes its tax estimates are reasonable, if the IRS or any other taxing authority disagrees with the positions taken on its tax returns, New Volta could have additional tax liability, including interest and penalties. If material, payment of such additional amounts upon final adjudication of any disputes could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.

Changes to applicable tax laws and regulations or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could affect New Volta’s business and future profitability.

New Volta is a U.S. corporation and thus subject to U.S. corporate income tax on its worldwide income. Further, since New Volta’s operations and customers are located throughout the United States, New Volta will be subject to various U.S. state and local taxes. U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax laws, policies, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances could be interpreted, changed, modified or applied adversely to New Volta and may have an adverse effect on its business and future profitability.

For example, several tax proposals have been set forth that would, if enacted, make significant changes to U.S. tax laws. Such proposals include an increase in the U.S. income tax rate applicable to corporations (such as New Volta) from 21% to 28%. Congress may consider, and could include, some or all of these proposals in connection with tax reform that may be undertaken. It is unclear whether these or similar changes will be enacted and, if enacted, how soon any such changes could take effect. The passage of any legislation as a result of these proposals and other similar changes in U.S. federal income tax laws could adversely affect New Volta’s business and future profitability.

As a result of plans to expand New Volta’s business operations, including to jurisdictions in which tax laws may not be favorable, its obligations may change or fluctuate, become significantly more complex or become subject to greater risk of examination by taxing authorities, any of which could adversely affect New Volta’s after-tax profitability and financial results.

In the event that New Volta’s business expands domestically or internationally, its effective tax rates may fluctuate widely in the future. Future effective tax rates could be affected by operating losses in jurisdictions where no tax benefit can be recorded under U.S. GAAP, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities, or changes in tax laws. Factors that could materially affect New Volta’s future effective tax rates include, but are not limited to: (a) changes in tax laws or the regulatory environment, (b) changes in accounting and tax standards or practices, (c) changes in the composition of operating income by tax jurisdiction and (d) pre-tax operating results of New Volta’s business.

Additionally, after the Business Combination, New Volta may be subject to significant income, withholding, and other tax obligations in the United States and may become subject to taxation in numerous additional U.S. state and local and non-U.S. jurisdictions with respect to income, operations and subsidiaries related to those jurisdictions.

72

New Volta’s after-tax profitability and financial results could be subject to volatility or be affected by numerous factors, including (a) the availability of tax deductions, credits, exemptions, refunds and other benefits to reduce tax liabilities, (b) changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, if any, (c) the expected timing and amount of the release of any tax valuation allowances, (d) the tax treatment of stock-based compensation, (e) changes in the relative amount of earnings subject to tax in the various jurisdictions, (f) the potential business expansion into, or otherwise becoming subject to tax in, additional jurisdictions, (g) changes to existing intercompany structure (and any costs related thereto) and business operations, (h) the extent of intercompany transactions and the extent to which taxing authorities in relevant jurisdictions respect those intercompany transactions, and (i) the ability to structure business operations in an efficient and competitive manner. Outcomes from audits or examinations by taxing authorities could have an adverse effect on New Volta’s after-tax profitability and financial condition. Additionally, the IRS and several foreign tax authorities have increasingly focused attention on intercompany transfer pricing with respect to sales of products and services and the use of intangibles. Tax authorities could disagree with New Volta’s intercompany charges, cross-jurisdictional transfer pricing or other matters and assess additional taxes. If New Volta does not prevail in any such disagreements, New Volta’s profitability may be affected.

New Volta’s after-tax profitability and financial results may also be adversely affected by changes in relevant tax laws and tax rates, treaties, regulations, administrative practices and principles, judicial decisions and interpretations thereof, in each case, possibly with retroactive effect.

New Volta’s ability to utilize its net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations.

In general, under Section 382 of the Code, a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” is subject to limitations on its ability to use its pre-change net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) to offset future taxable income. The limitations apply if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change,” which is generally defined as a greater than 50 percentage point change (by value) in its equity ownership by certain stockholders over a three year period. If Volta has experienced an ownership change at any time since its incorporation, New Volta may be subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its existing NOLs and other tax attributes to offset taxable income or tax liability. In addition, the Business Combination and future changes in New Volta’s stock ownership, which may be outside of New Volta’s control, may trigger an ownership change. Similar provisions of state tax law may also apply to limit New Volta’s use of accumulated state tax attributes. As a result, even if New Volta earns net taxable income in the future, its ability to use its pre-change NOL carryforwards and other tax attributes to offset such taxable income or tax liability may be subject to limitations, which could potentially result in increased future income tax liability to New Volta.

Volta received a loan as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and Volta’s application for such loan could in the future be determined to have been impermissible which could adversely impact its business and reputation.

On April27, 2020, Volta received a Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loan in the amount of $3.2million with fixed interest of 1% per annum as part of the CARES Act (the “PPP Loan”). Although under the CARES Act Volta may be eligible to apply for forgiveness of all loan proceeds used to pay payroll costs, rent, utilities and other qualifying expenses, provided that it retains a certain number of employees and maintains compensation within certain regulatory parameters of the PPP, Volta plans to repay the PPP Loan in full following the consummation of the Business Combination.

In applying for the PPP Loan, Volta was required to certify, among other things, that the then current economic uncertainty made the PPP Loan necessary to support its ongoing operations. Volta made these certifications in good faith after analyzing, among other things, the requirements of the PPP Loan, Volta’s then-current business activity and its ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support its ongoing operations in a manner that would not be significantly detrimental to its business. Volta believes that it satisfied all eligibility criteria for the PPP Loan, and that its receipt of the PPP Loan was consistent with the broad objectives of the CARES Act. The certification regarding necessity described above did not at the time contain any objective criteria and continues to be subject to interpretation. If, despite Volta’s good-faith belief that it has satisfied all eligibility requirements for the PPP Loan, Volta is later determined to have violated any of the laws or governmental regulations that apply to it in connection with the PPP Loan, or it is otherwise determined that it was ineligible to receive the PPP Loan, Volta may be subject

73

to civil, criminal and administrative penalties. Any violations or alleged violations may result in adverse publicity and damage to Volta’s reputation, a review or audit by the SBA or other government entity or claims under the False Claims Act. These events could consume significant financial and management resources and could have a material adverse effect on Volta’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Related to TortoiseCorp and the Business Combination

Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference in this section of this proxy statement/prospectus to “we,” “us” or “our” refers to TortoiseCorp prior to the Business Combination and to New Volta and its subsidiaries following the Business Combination.

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, New Volta’s sole material asset will be its direct and indirect interests in its subsidiaries and, accordingly, New Volta will be dependent upon distributions from its subsidiaries to pay taxes and cover its corporate and other overhead expenses and pay dividends, if any, on the New Volta Common Stock.

New Volta is a holding company and, subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination, will have no material assets other than its direct and indirect equity interests in its subsidiaries. New Volta will have no independent means of generating revenue. To the extent New Volta’s subsidiaries have available cash, New Volta will cause its subsidiaries to make distributions of cash to pay taxes, cover New Volta’s corporate and other overhead expenses and pay dividends, if any, on the New Volta Common Stock. To the extent that New Volta needs funds and its subsidiaries fail to generate sufficient cash flow to distribute funds to New Volta or are restricted from making such distributions or payments under applicable law or regulation or under the terms of their financing arrangements, or are otherwise unable to provide such funds, New Volta’s liquidity and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Subsequent to the consummation of the Business Combination, New Volta may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on its financial condition, results of operations and stock price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

Although we have conducted due diligence on Volta, we cannot assure you that this diligence revealed all material issues that may be present in Volta, that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence or that factors outside of our control will not later arise. As a result, following the consummation of the Business Combination, New Volta may be forced to write-down or write-off assets, restructure its operations or incur impairment or other charges that could result in losses. Even if our due diligence successfully identified certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with our preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and may not have an immediate impact on New Volta’s liquidity, the fact that New Volta reports charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about New Volta following the completion of the Business Combination or its securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause New Volta to be unable to obtain future financing on favorable terms or at all.

Our initial shareholders have agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how our public shareholders vote.

Unlike many other blank check companies in which the founders agree to vote their founder shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by public shareholders in connection with an initial business combination, our initial shareholders have agreed to vote any Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares owned by them in favor of the Business Combination. As of the date hereof, our initial shareholders own shares equal to approximately 20.0% of our issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares in the aggregate. Accordingly, it is more likely that the necessary shareholder approval will be received for the Business Combination than would be the case if the initial shareholders agreed to vote any Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares owned by them in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by our public shareholders.

74

Our Sponsor and certain of our directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of other shareholders generally.

When considering the TortoiseCorp Board’s recommendation that our shareholders vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, our shareholders should be aware that our Sponsor and certain of our directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of other shareholders generally. These interests include:

•        the fact that an affiliate of our Sponsor holds 5,933,333 private placement warrants that would expire worthless if an Initial Business Combination is not consummated;

•        the fact that our Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed not to redeem any Class A Ordinary Shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve the Business Combination;

•        the fact that our Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for the Founder Shares, including 105,000 Founder Shares which were subsequently transferred to our independent directors, and that such securities will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination, which if unrestricted and freely tradable would be valued at approximately $            , based on the closing price of our Class A Ordinary Shares of $             per share on             , 2021;

•        if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event we are unable to complete an Initial Business Combination within the required time period, our Sponsor has agreed to indemnify us to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 per public share, or such lesser amount per public share as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of (a) any third party (other than our independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to us or (b) a prospective target business with which we have entered into a letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, but only if such a third party or target business has not executed a waiver of all rights to seek access to the Trust Account;

•        the anticipated continuation of Vincent T. Cubbage as a director after the Business Combination;

•        the fact that our independent directors own an aggregate of 105,000 Founder Shares that were transferred from our Sponsor, which if unrestricted and freely tradeable would be valued at approximately $ , based on the closing price of our Class A Ordinary Shares of $ per share on             , 2021;

•        the fact that our Sponsor, officers and directors will be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations; and

•        the fact that our Sponsor, officers and directors will lose their entire investment in us if an Initial Business Combination is not completed.

For additional information, see “The Business Combination — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination — Interests of Sponsor and TortoiseCorp Directors and Officers.”

Our initial shareholders hold a significant number of Class B Ordinary Shares and an affiliate of our Sponsor holds a significant number of our warrants. They will lose their entire investment in us if we do not complete the Business Combination or any other Initial Business Combination.

Our Sponsor and our independent directors hold all of our 8,625,000 Founder Shares, representing 20% of the total outstanding shares upon completion of our IPO. The Founder Shares will be worthless if we do not complete the Business Combination or any other Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. In addition, an affiliate of our Sponsor holds an aggregate of 5,933,333 private placement warrants that will also be worthless if we do not complete an Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The Founder Shares are identical to the Class A Ordinary Shares included in the TortoiseCorp Units, except that (a) the Founder Shares and the Class A Ordinary Shares into which the Founder Shares convert upon an Initial Business Combination are subject to certain transfer restrictions, (b) our Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into that certain Letter Agreement, dated as of September10, 2020 (the “Letter Agreement”), with us, pursuant to which they have agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and any public

75

shares they own in connection with the completion of an Initial Business Combination and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if we fail to complete an Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if we fail to complete an Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period) and (c) the Founder Shares are automatically convertible into shares of our Class A Ordinary Shares at the time of an Initial Business Combination.

The personal and financial interests of our Sponsor, officers and directors may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting the Business Combination, completing the Business Combination and influencing the operation of New Volta following the Business Combination.

We and Volta will incur significant transaction expenses and transition costs in connection with the Business Combination.

We and Volta have both incurred and expect to incur significant, non-recurring costs in connection with consummating the Business Combination and operating as a public company following the consummation of the Business Combination. All expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination, including all legal, accounting, consulting, investment banking and other fees, expenses and costs, will be for the account of the party incurring such fees, expenses and costs or will be paid by New Volta following the Closing. Our transaction expenses as a result of the Business Combination are currently estimated at approximately $             million, including approximately $12.1million in deferred underwriting discounts and commissions to the underwriters of our IPO.

We may be subject to business uncertainties while the Business Combination is pending.

Uncertainty about the effect of the Business Combination on employees and third parties may have an adverse effect on Volta and, consequently, on TortoiseCorp. These uncertainties may impair Volta’s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel and could cause third parties that deal with Volta to defer entering into contracts or making other decisions or seek to change existing business relationships. If key employees depart because of issues relating to such uncertainty or a desire not to remain with the business, New Volta’s business following the Business Combination could be negatively impacted. In addition, the Business Combination Agreement restricts Volta from making certain expenditures and taking other specified actions without the consent of TortoiseCorp until the Business Combination occurs. These restrictions may prevent Volta from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the Closing. For additional information please see the subsection entitled “The Business Combination — Conduct of Business Pending the Business Combination.”

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus may not be indicative of what the actual financial position or results of operations of New Volta would have been for the periods presented.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information for New Volta following the Business Combination in this proxy statement/prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what New Volta’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been for the periods presented had the Business Combination been completed on the dates indicated. See the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for more information.

The consummation of the Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions and if those conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Business Combination Agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the Business Combination may not be completed.

The Business Combination Agreement is subject to a number of conditions which must be fulfilled in order to complete the Business Combination. Those conditions include: (a) approval by TortoiseCorp’s shareholders and Volta’s stockholders, (b) TortoiseCorp having at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets as of the effective time of the consummation of the Business Combination, (c) the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, (d) the listing of the shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Closing and the Private Placement Financing on the NYSE (or another national securities exchange mutually agreed by the parties to the Business Combination Agreement) and the effectiveness of this Registration Statement and

76

(e) TortoiseCorp having cash on hand, after distribution of the Trust Fund and deducting all amounts to be paid pursuant to the exercise of redemption rights, at least $225,000,000. For additional information, please see the subsection entitled “The Business Combination — Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination Agreement.” In addition, the parties can mutually decide to terminate the Business Combination Agreement at any time, before or after shareholder approval, or TortoiseCorp or Volta may elect to terminate the Business Combination Agreement in certain other circumstances. For additional information please see the subsection entitled “The Business Combination — Termination.”

We may waive one or more of the conditions to the Business Combination.

We may agree to waive, in whole or in part, one or more of the conditions to our obligations to complete the Business Combination, to the extent permitted by our Existing Organizational Documents and applicable laws. For example, it is a condition to our obligation to close the Business Combination that certain of Volta’s representations and warranties be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of the Business Combination Agreement and the Effective Time. However, if the TortoiseCorp Board determines that it is in the best interests of TortoiseCorp to proceed with the Business Combination notwithstanding the fact that a condition is not met, then the TortoiseCorp Board may elect to waive that condition and close the Business Combination. For additional information please see the subsection entitled “The Business Combination — TortoiseCorp, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub Conditions.”

The exercise of discretion by TortoiseCorp’s directors and officers in agreeing to changes to the terms of or waivers of closing conditions in the Business Combination Agreement may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in the best interests of TortoiseCorp’s shareholders.

In the period leading up to the consummation of the Business Combination, other events may occur that, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, would require TortoiseCorp to agree to amend the Business Combination Agreement, to consent to certain actions or to waive rights that it is entitled to under the Business Combination Agreement. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of the business of Volta, a request by Volta and its management to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Business Combination Agreement or the occurrence of other events that would have a material adverse effect on the business of Volta and could entitle TortoiseCorp to terminate the Business Combination Agreement. In any such circumstance, it would be in the discretion of TortoiseCorp, acting through the TortoiseCorp Board, to grant its consent or waive its rights. The existence of the financial and personal interests of the TortoiseCorp directors described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the TortoiseCorp directors between what he or she may believe is best for TortoiseCorp and TortoiseCorp’s shareholders and what he or she may believe is best for himself or herself or his or her affiliates in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, TortoiseCorp does not believe there will be any changes or waivers that TortoiseCorp’s directors and officers would be likely to make after TortoiseCorp shareholder approval of the Business Combination has been obtained. While certain changes could be made without further shareholder approval, if there is a change to the terms of the Business Combination that would have a material impact on the shareholders, TortoiseCorp will be required to circulate a new or amended proxy statement/prospectus or supplement thereto and resolicit the vote of TortoiseCorp’s shareholders with respect to the Business Combination Proposal.

If we are unable to complete the Business Combination or any other Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, our public shareholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per share on the liquidation of our Trust Account (or less than $10.00 per share in certain circumstances where a third party brings a claim against us that our Sponsor is unable to indemnify us against), and the TortoiseCorp Warrants will expire worthless.

If we are unable to complete the Business Combination or any other Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, our public shareholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per share on the liquidation of our Trust Account (or less than $10.00 per share in certain circumstances where a third party brings a claim against us that our Sponsor is unable to indemnify us against (as described below)), and the TortoiseCorp warrants will expire worthless.

77

If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in our Trust Account could be reduced and the per share redemption amount received by our public shareholders may be less than $10.00 per share.

Our placing of funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third-party claims against us. Although we will seek to have all vendors, service providers (other than our independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses and other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of our public shareholders, such parties may not execute such agreements, or even if they execute such agreements, they may not be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account, including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. Although no third parties have refused to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account to date, if any third party refuses to execute such an agreement in the future, our management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative.

Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third-party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. Upon redemption of our public shares, either if we are unable to complete an Initial Business Combination within the prescribed timeframe, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with an Initial Business Combination, we will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against us within the ten years following redemption. Accordingly, the per-share redemption amount received by public shareholders could be less than the $10.00 per public share initially held in the Trust Account, due to claims of such creditors. Our Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than our independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (a) $10.00 per public share and (b) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, in each case including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of our Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, we have not asked our Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have we independently verified whether our Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and we believe that our Sponsor’s only assets are securities of our company. Therefore, we cannot assure you that our Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for the Business Combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.00 per public share. In such event, we may not be able to complete the Business Combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your public shares. None of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

Our directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of our Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to our public shareholders.

In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (a) $10.00 per public share and (b) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, and our Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations.

78

While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment and subject to their fiduciary duties may choose not to do so in any particular instance. If our independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to our public shareholders may be reduced below $10.00 per share.

We may not have sufficient funds to satisfy indemnification claims of our directors and officers.

We have agreed to indemnify our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law. However, our officers and directors have agreed, and any persons who may become officers or directors prior to an Initial Business Combination will agree, to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account and to not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever. Accordingly, any indemnification provided will be able to be satisfied by us only if (a) we have sufficient funds outside of the Trust Account or (b) we consummate an Initial Business Combination. Our obligation to indemnify our officers and directors may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against our officers or directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders. Furthermore, a shareholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against our officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

If, after we distribute the proceeds in the Trust Account to our public shareholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover such proceeds, and the members of the TortoiseCorp Board may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to our creditors, thereby exposing the members of the TortoiseCorp Board and us to claims of punitive damages.

If, after we distribute the proceeds in the Trust Account to our public shareholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our shareholders. In addition, the TortoiseCorp Board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or having acted in bad faith, thereby exposing itself and us to claims of punitive damages, by paying public shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to our public shareholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of our shareholders and the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by our shareholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to our public shareholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our shareholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by our shareholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

Even if we consummate the Business Combination, there is no guarantee that the public warrants will be in the money at the time they become exercisable, and they may expire worthless.

The exercise price for our warrants is $11.50 per Class A Ordinary Share. There is no guarantee that the public warrants will be in the money following the time they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, and as such, they may expire worthless.

79

We may amend the terms of the public warrants in a manner that may be adverse to holders of public warrants with the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then-outstanding public warrants. As a result, the exercise price of the public warrants could be increased, the exercise period could be shortened and the number of our Class A Ordinary Shares purchasable upon exercise of a public warrant could be decreased, all without a holder’s approval.

The public warrants were issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and us. The Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the public warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then-outstanding public warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of public warrants. Accordingly, we may amend the terms of the public warrants in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 50% of the then-outstanding public warrants approve of such amendment. Although our ability to amend the terms of the public warrants with the consent of at least 50% of the then-outstanding public warrants is unlimited, examples of such amendments could be amendments to, among other things, increase the exercise price of the public warrants, convert the public warrants into cash or stock (at a ratio different than initially provided), shorten the exercise period or decrease the number of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of a public warrant.

We may redeem unexpired warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to warrant holders, thereby making their warrants worthless.

We have the ability to redeem outstanding warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, provided that the last reported sales price of our Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which we give proper notice of such redemption and provided certain other conditions are met. If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. Redemption of the outstanding warrants could force you (a) to exercise your warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so, (b) to sell your warrants at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your warrants or (c) to accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of your warrants. None of the private placement warrants will be redeemable by us for cash so long as they are held by our Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

In addition, we may redeem your warrants after they become exercisable for a number of Class A Ordinary Shares determined based on the redemption date and the fair market value of our Class A Ordinary Shares. Any such redemption may have similar consequences to a cash redemption described above. In addition, such redemption may occur at a time when the warrants are “out-of-the-money,” in which case you would lose any potential embedded value from a subsequent increase in the value of the Class A Ordinary Shares had your warrants remained outstanding.

Because certain of our Class A Ordinary Shares and public warrants currently trade as TortoiseCorp Units consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share and one-fourth of one warrant, the TortoiseCorp Units may be worth less than units of other blank check companies.

Each TortoiseCorp Unit contains one-fourth of one warrant. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, no fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the TortoiseCorp Units, and only whole warrants will trade. This is different from other blank check companies similar to ours whose units include one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one whole share. This unit structure may cause the TortoiseCorp Units to be worth less than if each included a warrant to purchase one whole share. We have established the components of the TortoiseCorp Units in this way in order to reduce the dilutive effect of the warrants upon completion of an Initial Business Combination since the warrants will be exercisable in the aggregate for one-fourth of the number of shares compared to units that each contain a whole warrant to purchase one share, thus making us, we believe, a more attractive merger partner for target businesses. Nevertheless, this unit structure may cause the TortoiseCorp Units to be worth less than if they included a warrant to purchase one whole share.

80

We may issue a substantial number of additional Ordinary Shares or TortoiseCorp Preference Shares to complete the Business Combination or under an employee incentive plan after completion of the Business Combination. Any such issuances would dilute the interest of our shareholders and likely present other risks.

We may issue additional Ordinary Shares or TortoiseCorp Preference Shares to complete the Business Combination or under an employee incentive plan after completion of the Business Combination. The issuance of additional Ordinary Shares or TortoiseCorp Preference Shares:

•        may significantly dilute the equity interests of our investors;

•        may subordinate the rights of holders of Ordinary Shares if TortoiseCorp Preference Shares are issued with rights senior to those afforded our Ordinary Shares;

•        could cause a change in control if a substantial number of Ordinary Shares are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors; and

•        may adversely affect prevailing market prices for TortoiseCorp Units, Class A Ordinary Shares and/or the public warrants.

The NYSE may delist the New Volta securities from trading on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in New Volta securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

We cannot assure you that New Volta securities will continue to be listed on the NYSE after the Business Combination. In connection with the Business Combination, New Volta will be required to demonstrate compliance with the NYSE’s initial listing requirements, which are more rigorous than the NYSE’s continued listing requirements, in order to continue to maintain the listing of New Volta securities on the NYSE. For instance, New Volta’s stock price would generally be required to be at least $4.00 per share, its aggregate market value would be required to be at least $150million and the market value of its publicly held shares would be required to be at least $40million. We cannot assure you that New Volta will be able to meet those initial listing requirements at that time. New Volta’s continued eligibility for listing may depend on, among other things, the number of our public shares that are redeemed prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

If the NYSE delists New Volta securities from trading on its exchange and we are not able to list such securities on another national securities exchange, we expect New Volta securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

•        a limited availability of market quotations for New Volta securities;

•        reduced liquidity for New Volta securities;

•        a determination that the New Volta Class A Common Stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in the New Volta Class A Common Stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;

•        a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

•        a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” Because the TortoiseCorp Units, Class A Ordinary Shares and public warrants are listed on the NYSE, the TortoiseCorp Units, Class A Ordinary Shares and public warrants qualify as covered securities. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of our securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. While we are not aware of a state having used these powers to prohibit or restrict the sale of securities issued by blank check companies, other than the state of Idaho, certain state securities regulators view blank check companies unfavorably and might use these powers, or threaten to use these powers, to hinder the sale of securities of blank check companies in their states. Further, if we were no longer listed on the NYSE, our securities would not be covered securities and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities.

81

The TortoiseCorp Board did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination.

The TortoiseCorp Board did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with its determination to approve the Business Combination. Accordingly, investors will be relying solely on the judgment of the TortoiseCorp Board in valuing Volta and assuming the risk that the TortoiseCorp Board may not have properly valued the business. The lack of a third-party valuation or fairness opinion may also lead an increased number of shareholders to vote against the proposed Business Combination or demand redemption of their shares for cash, which could potentially impact TortoiseCorp’s ability to consummate the Business Combination.

Sales of a substantial number of Class A Ordinary Shares in the public market could occur at any time and a significant portion of New Volta’s total outstanding shares will be restricted from immediate resale following the consummation of the Business Combination, but may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares or, after the consummation of the Business Combination, the New Volta Class A Common Stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

Sales of a substantial number of Class A Ordinary Shares in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares. After the Business Combination (and assuming no redemptions by our public shareholders of public shares), our Sponsor and our current officers and directors will hold approximately 4.9% of the New Volta Class A Common Stock, including the 8,625,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock into which the Founder Shares will convert (or 6.2% of the New Volta Class A Common Stock, assuming a maximum redemption by our public shareholders of 100% of the public shares). Pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement entered into at the time of the IPO, and reaffirmed in the Sponsor Letter, the Founder Shares (which will be converted into shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock in connection with the Domestication), as well as shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock held by Volta’s co-founders, may not be transferred until the earlier to occur of (a) one year after the Closing or (b) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the last reported sale price of the New Volta Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing, the shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock into which the Founder Shares convert, and any New Volta securities held by Volta’s co-founders, will be released from these transfer restrictions. Pursuant to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, New Volta will agree that, within 30 calendar days after the Closing, New Volta will file with the SEC (at New Volta’s sole cost and expense) the Resale Registration Statement, and New Volta will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Resale Registration Statement become effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof. In certain circumstances, the Registration Rights Holders can demand up to three underwritten offerings and will be entitled to customary piggyback registration rights.

Further, pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, TortoiseCorp agreed that, within 30 calendar days after the consummation of the Business Combination, New Volta will file with the SEC (at New Volta’s sole cost and expense) the Private Placement Resale Registration Statement, and New Volta will use its reasonable best efforts to have the Private Placement Resale Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof. This registration statement will also cover shares issuable upon exercise of the public warrants. The sale of shares under the Private Placement Resale Registration is likely to have an adverse effect on the trading price of the New Volta Class A Common Stock.

Additionally, New Volta will likely register for resale shares subject to the converted Volta Options and shares under the 2021 Plan and Founder Plan, as well as shares subject to converted Volta Warrants and shares held by Volta’s affiliates that were subject to a lock-up. The shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock issued to the Historical Rollover Shareholders will be subject to certain transfer restrictions following the consummation of the Business Combination. The sale of a substantial number of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock after the release of any applicable transfer restrictions or pursuant to a resale registration is likely to have an adverse effect on the trading price of the New Volta Class A Common Stock.

82

For more information about the A&R Registration Rights Agreement and Subscription Agreements, see the subsections entitled “The Business Combination — Related Agreements — A&R Registration Rights Agreement” and “The Business Combination — Related Agreements — Private Placement Financing.”

If the Business Combination’s benefits do not meet the expectations of investors, shareholders or financial analysts, the market price of our securities may decline.

If the benefits of the Business Combination do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of our securities prior to the Closing may decline. The market values of our securities at the time of the Business Combination may vary significantly from their prices on the date the Business Combination Agreement was executed, the date of this proxy statement/prospectus or the date on which our shareholders vote on the Business Combination.

In addition, following the Business Combination, fluctuations in the price of New Volta securities could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. Accordingly, the valuation ascribed to our Class A Ordinary Shares in the Business Combination may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market following the Business Combination. If an active market for our securities develops and continues, the trading price of New Volta securities following the Business Combination could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on your investment in our securities and our securities may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid for them. In such circumstances, the trading price of our securities may not recover and may experience a further decline.

Factors affecting the trading price of New Volta securities following the Business Combination may include:

•        actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to New Volta;

•        changes in the market’s expectations about New Volta’s operating results;

•        success of competitors;

•        New Volta’s operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;

•        changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning New Volta or the market in general;

•        operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to New Volta;

•        New Volta’s ability to market new and enhanced products and technologies on a timely basis;

•        changes in laws and regulations affecting New Volta’s business;

•        New Volta’s ability to meet compliance requirements;

•        commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving New Volta;

•        changes in New Volta’s capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;

•        the volume of New Volta Class A Common Stock available for public sale;

•        any major change in the New Volta Board or management;

•        sales of substantial amounts of New Volta Class A Common Stock by New Volta’s directors, executive officers or significant shareholders or the perception that such sales could occur; and

•        general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations and acts of war or terrorism.

83

Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our securities either before or after the consummation of the Business Combination irrespective of our operating performance. The stock market in general and the NYSE have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of our securities, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for retail stocks or the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to New Volta following the Business Combination could depress our stock price regardless of our business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of New Volta’s securities also could adversely affect its ability to issue additional securities and its ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

Following the Business Combination, if securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about New Volta, its business or its market, or if they change their recommendations regarding the New Volta Class A Common Stock adversely, the price and trading volume of the New Volta Class A Common Stock could decline.

The trading market for the New Volta Class A Common Stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about New Volta, its business, its market or its competitors. If any of the analysts who may cover New Volta following the Business Combination change their recommendation regarding the New Volta Class A Common Stock adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about its competitors, the price of the New Volta Class A Common Stock would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover New Volta following the Business Combination were to cease their coverage or fail to regularly publish reports on New Volta, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause the stock price or trading volume of New Volta securities to decline.

Our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates may elect to purchase public shares from public shareholders, which may influence the vote on the Business Combination Proposal and reduce the public “float” of our Class A Ordinary Shares.

Our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates may purchase public shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of the Business Combination, although they are under no obligation to do so. There is no limit on the number of public shares our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates may purchase in such transactions, subject to compliance with applicable law and the rules of the NYSE. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are in excess of the per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. None of the funds in the Trust Account will be used to purchase public shares in such transactions. None of our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates will make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller of such public shares or during a restricted period under Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Such a purchase could include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record holder of such public shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights, and could include a contractual provision that directs such shareholder to vote such shares in a manner directed by the purchaser.

In the event that our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates purchase public shares in privately negotiated transactions from public shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares.

The purpose of any such purchases of public shares could be to vote such shares in favor of the Business Combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of the Business Combination or to satisfy a closing condition in the Business Combination Agreement, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. Any such purchases of our public shares may result in the completion of the Business Combination that may not otherwise have been possible. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent the purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements.

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our Class A Ordinary Shares may be reduced and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, which may make it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on the NYSE or any other national securities exchange. See the

84

subsection entitled “The Business Combination — Potential Purchases of Public Shares” for a description of how our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates will select which shareholders or warrant holders to purchase securities from in any private transaction.

Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws or regulations, may adversely affect our business, investments and results of operations.

We are subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments. In particular, we are required to comply with certain SEC and other legal requirements. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, investments and results of operations. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete the Business Combination, and our results of operations.

The JOBS Act permits “emerging growth companies” like us to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such, we take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including (a) the exemption from the auditor attestation requirements with respect to internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (b) the exemptions from say-on-pay, say-on-frequency and say-on-golden parachute voting requirements and (c) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements. As a result, our shareholders may not have access to certain information they deem important. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (a) the last day of the fiscal year (i) following September15, 2025, the fifth anniversary of our IPO, (ii) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07billion (as adjusted for inflation pursuant to SEC rules from time to time) or (iii) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our Class A Ordinary Shares or, after the consummation of the Business Combination, the shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700million as of the last business day of our prior second fiscal quarter, and (b) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three year period.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the exemption from complying with new or revised accounting standards provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act as long as we are an emerging growth company. An emerging growth company can therefore delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

We cannot predict if investors will find our Class A Ordinary Shares or the New Volta Class A Common Stock less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Class A Ordinary Shares or the New Volta Class A Common Stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Class A Ordinary Shares or the New Volta Class A Common Stock and our share price may be more volatile.

The TortoiseCorp Warrants and Founder Shares may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares and make it more difficult to effectuate our Business Combination.

We issued warrants to purchase 8,625,000 Class A Ordinary Shares as part of the TortoiseCorp Units. We also issued 5,933,333 private placement warrants, each exercisable to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at $11.50 per share.

85

Our initial shareholders currently own an aggregate of 8,625,000 Founder Shares. The Founder Shares are convertible into Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like and subject to further adjustment as set forth herein. In addition, if our Sponsor makes any working capital loans, it may convert those loans into up to an additional 1,000,000 private placement warrants, at the price of $1.50 per warrant. Any issuance of a substantial number of additional Class A Ordinary Shares upon exercise of these warrants and conversion rights will increase the number of issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares and reduce the value of the Class A Ordinary Shares issued to complete the Business Combination. Therefore, the TortoiseCorp Warrants and Founder Shares may make it more difficult to effectuate the Business Combination or increase the cost of acquiring Volta.

We do not have a specified maximum redemption threshold. The absence of such a redemption threshold may make it possible for us to complete the Business Combination even if a substantial majority of our shareholders do not agree.

The Existing Organizational Documents do not provide a specified maximum redemption threshold, except that in no event will we redeem public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 (such that we are not subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules). As a result, we may be able to complete the Business Combination even though a substantial majority of our public shareholders do not agree with the transaction and have redeemed their shares or have entered into privately negotiated agreements to sell their shares to our Sponsor, officers, directors, advisors or any of their respective affiliates. In the event the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all of the Class A Ordinary Shares that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the proposed Business Combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we will not complete the Business Combination or redeem any shares, all of the Class A Ordinary Shares submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof, and we instead may search for an alternate Initial Business Combination.

Our shareholders will have reduced ownership and voting interests after the Business Combination and will exercise less influence over management.

Upon the issuance of the shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock to the Historical Rollover Shareholders and the New Private Placement Investors and the issuance of shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock to Volta’s co-founders and certain other holders, current holders of Ordinary Shares will be diluted. Following the consummation of the Business Combination and the Private Placement Financing, without taking into account TortoiseCorp Warrants that will remain outstanding following the Business Combination and may be exercised at a later date, current holders of Ordinary Shares would own 18.6% of the outstanding New Volta Common Stock and, as a result of the higher voting rights of the New Volta Class B Common Stock, would control 12.0% of the voting power of New Volta.

The market price of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock after the Business Combination may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the price of the Class A Ordinary Shares.

Upon completion of the Business Combination, our shareholders and Volta stockholders will become holders of New Volta Class A Common Stock. Prior to the Business Combination, TortoiseCorp has limited operations. Upon completion of the Business Combination, TortoiseCorp’s results of operations will depend upon the performance of the Volta business, which is affected by factors that are different from those currently affecting the results of operations of TortoiseCorp.

The Business Combination may be materially adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In December 2019, COVID-19 was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. COVID-19 has and is continuing to spread throughout the world, including the United States. On January30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” On January31, 2020, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex M. Azar II declared a public health emergency for the United States to aid the U.S. healthcare community in responding to COVID-19, and on March11, 2020, the WHO characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic.” The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted, and a significant outbreak of other infectious diseases could result, in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets worldwide. Additionally, our ability to consummate the Business

86

Combination may be materially adversely affected due to significant governmental measures being implemented to contain the outbreak of COVID-19 or its impact, including travel restrictions, the shutdown of businesses and quarantines, among others, which may limit our ability to have meetings with potential investors or affect the ability of Volta’s personnel, vendors and service providers to negotiate and consummate the Business Combination in a timely manner. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Business Combination will depend on the efficacy and distribution of recently developed COVID-19 vaccines and future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. If the disruptions posed by COVID-19 or other matters of global concern continue for an extensive period of time, our ability to consummate the Business Combination may be materially adversely affected. See also “— Risks Related to Volta’s Business — Volta faces risks related to health pandemics, which could have a material adverse effect on its business and results of operations. For example, impacts to Volta’s business as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic included slow-down of permitting and construction activities during shutdowns, shut-down of properties where Volta’s stations are located, drop off in media spend, shut-down of offices and a transition to remote work forces, impacting revenue potential and usage.”

We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. This material weakness could continue to adversely affect our ability to report our results of operations and financial condition accurately and in a timely manner.

On April12, 2021, the staff of the SEC (the “SEC Staff”) issued a public statement entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Consideration for Warrants issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC Staff Statement”). In the SEC Staff Statement, the SEC staff expressed its view that certain terms and conditions common to SPAC warrants may require the warrants to be classified as liabilities on the SPAC’s balance sheet as opposed to equity. Since issuance on September15, 2020, our warrants were accounted for as equity within our balance sheet. After discussion and evaluation, including with our registered public accounting firm and our audit committee, and taking into consideration the SEC Staff Statement, we have concluded that our warrants should be presented as liabilities with subsequent fair value remeasurement.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our management is likewise required, on a quarterly basis, to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and to disclose any changes and material weaknesses identified through such evaluation of those internal controls. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the accounting for a significant and unusual transaction related to the warrants we issued in connection with our Initial Public Offering. As a result of this material weakness, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December31, 2020. This material weakness resulted in a material misstatement of our derivative warrant liabilities, change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities, Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption, accumulated deficit and related financial disclosures for the affected periods.

We have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of December31, 2020 because material weaknesses existed in our internal control over financial reporting. We have taken a number of measures to remediate the material weaknesses described therein; however, if we are unable to remediate our material weaknesses in a timely manner or we identify additional material weaknesses, we may be unable to provide required financial information in a timely and reliable manner and we may incorrectly report financial information. Likewise, if our financial statements are not filed on a timely basis, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the stock exchange on which our Class A Ordinary Shares are listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities. Failure to timely file will cause us to be ineligible to utilize short form registration statements on Form S-3 or Form S-4, which may impair our ability to obtain capital in a timely fashion to execute our business strategies or issue shares to effect an acquisition. In either case, there could result a material adverse effect on our business. The existence of material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting

87

could adversely affect our reputation or investor perceptions of us, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares. In addition, we will incur additional costs to remediate material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

We can give no assurance that the measures we have taken and plan to take in the future will remediate the material weakness identified or that any additional material weaknesses or restatements of financial results will not arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting or circumvention of these controls. In addition, even if we are successful in strengthening our controls and procedures, in the future those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or errors or to facilitate the fair presentation of our financial statements.

Risks Related to Consummation of the Domestication

Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference in this section of this proxy statement/prospectus to “we,” “us” or “our” refers to TortoiseCorp prior to the Business Combination and to New Volta and its subsidiaries following the Business Combination.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the rights of the holders of New Volta Common Stock arising under the DGCL as well as the Proposed Organizational Documents will differ from and may be less favorable to the rights of holders of Class A Ordinary Shares arising under Cayman Islands law as well as the Existing Organizational Documents.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the rights of holders of New Volta Common Stock will arise under the Proposed Organizational Documents as well as the DGCL. The Proposed Organizational Documents and the DGCL contain provisions that differ in some respects from those in the Existing Organizational Documents and under Cayman Islands law and, therefore, some rights of holders of New Volta Common Stock could differ from the rights that holders of Class A Ordinary Shares currently possess. For instance, while class actions are generally not available to shareholders under Cayman Islands law, such actions are generally available under the DGCL. This change could increase the likelihood that New Volta becomes involved in costly litigation, which could have a material adverse effect on New Volta.

In addition, there are differences between the Proposed Organizational Documents and the Existing Organizational Documents. For a more detailed description of the rights of holders of New Volta Common Stock and how they may differ from the rights of holders of Class A Ordinary Shares, please see the section entitled “Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights.” The forms of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws of New Volta are attached as Annex B and Annex C, respectively, to this proxy statement/prospectus, and we urge you to read them.

The Proposed Organizational Documents will provide, subject to limited exceptions, that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation matters, which could limit stockholders’ ability to obtain a more favorable judicial forum for disputes with New Volta or its directors, officers, employees or stockholders.

The Proposed Organizational Documents will require, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that derivative actions brought in name of New Volta, actions against directors, officers and employees for breach of fiduciary duty and other similar actions may be brought in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware or, if that court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, another federal or state court situated in the State of Delaware. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the forum provisions in the Proposed Organizational Documents. In addition, the Proposed Organizational Documents will provide that the federal district courts of the United States shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

In March 2020, the Delaware Supreme Court issued a decision in Salzburg et al. v. Sciabacucchi, which found that an exclusive forum provision providing for claims under the Securities Act to be brought in federal court is facially valid under Delaware law. It is unclear whether this decision will be appealed, or what the final outcome of this case will be. New Volta intends to enforce this provision, but it does not know whether courts in other jurisdictions will agree with this decision or enforce it.

88

This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with New Volta or any of its directors, officers, other employees or stockholders, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, New Volta may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm its business, operating results and financial condition.

U.S. Holders may recognize income for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Domestication.

U.S. Holders (as defined below) may recognize gain or a deemed dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Domestication. Because the Domestication will occur immediately prior to the redemption of U.S. Holders that exercise redemption rights with respect to their New Volta Class A Common Stock, U.S. Holders exercising redemption rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of the Domestication.

As discussed more fully below under the subsection entitled “The Business Combination — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders,” the Domestication should qualify as a Reorganization. Section 367(b) of the Code, which applies to the domestication of a foreign corporation in a Reorganization, may apply with respect to U.S. Holders on the date of the Domestication and could require certain of such U.S. Holders to recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to the Domestication unless a certain election is made to include the “all earnings and profits amount” attributable to such U.S. Holder, as discussed more fully below under the subsection entitled “The Business Combination — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — Effects of Section 367(b).”

Additionally, if TortoiseCorp were to be treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, certain U.S. holders may be subject to adverse tax consequences as a result of the Domestication. If finalized (including retroactively after the date of the Domestication) in their currently proposed form, proposed U.S. Treasury regulations may require gain recognition by a U.S. Holder with respect to its exchange of Class A Ordinary Shares and TortoiseCorp Warrants, as applicable, for New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Warrants in the Domestication. See the subsection entitled “The Business Combination — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.” A U.S. Holder may be able to avoid the PFIC gain and certain other tax consequences associated with PFIC status with respect to its Class A Ordinary Shares (but not its TortoiseCorp Warrants) if such U.S. Holder either (i) is eligible to and makes a timely and valid QEF Election (as defined and described below under “The Business Combination — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules”) in the first taxable year in which such U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Class A Ordinary Shares and in which TortoiseCorp was classified as a PFIC or (ii) makes a Mark-to-Market Election with respect to its Class A Ordinary Shares. Generally, neither election is available with respect to the TortoiseCorp Warrants.

The rules governing the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Domestication are complex and will depend on a holder’s particular circumstances. All holders of TortoiseCorp Public Securities are urged to consult with, and rely solely upon, their tax advisors regarding the potential tax consequences to them of the Domestication, including the effects of Section 367(b) of the Code, the application of the PFIC rules, and if the Domestication were to fail to qualify as a Reorganization. For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Domestication, see the subsection entitled “The Business Combination — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders.” Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the rights of holders of New Volta Class A Common Stock arising under the DGCL as well as Proposed Organizational Documents will differ from and may be less favorable to the rights of holders of Class A Ordinary Shares arising under Cayman Islands law as well as the Existing Organizational Documents.

Risks Related to the Redemption

There is no guarantee that a shareholder’s decision whether to redeem its shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account will put the shareholder in a better future economic position.

We can give no assurance as to the price at which a shareholder may be able to sell its public shares (including the shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock into which the public shares will convert upon the effectiveness of the Domestication) in the future following the completion of the Business Combination or any alternative Initial

89

Business Combination. Certain events following the consummation of the Business Combination may cause an increase in the price of New Volta Class A Common Stock and may result in a lower value realized now than a shareholder might realize in the future had the shareholder redeemed their shares. Similarly, if a shareholder does not redeem their shares, the shareholder will bear the risk of ownership of the New Volta Class A Common Stock after the consummation of the Business Combination, and there can be no assurance that a shareholder can sell its shares in the future for a greater amount than the redemption price set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. A shareholder should consult, and rely solely upon, the shareholder’s own tax and/or financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect his, her or its individual situation.

If our shareholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement/prospectus, they will not be entitled to redeem their Class A Ordinary Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account.

In order to exercise their redemption rights, holders of public shares are required to submit a request in writing and deliver their shares (either physically or electronically) to our transfer agent at least two business days prior to the extraordinary general meeting. Shareholders electing to redeem their shares will receive their pro rata portion of the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to us to pay our taxes, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the Business Combination. If a shareholder fails to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement/prospectus in a timely manner, they may not be entitled to redeem their Class A Ordinary Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account. See the subsection entitled “Extraordinary General Meeting — Redemption Rights” for additional information on how to exercise your redemption rights.

Shareholders who wish to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account must comply with specific requirements for redemption that may make it more difficult for them to exercise their redemption rights prior to the deadline.

Public shareholders who wish to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account must, among other things, as more fully described in the subsection entitled “Extraordinary General Meeting — Redemption Rights,” tender their certificates to our transfer agent or deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically through DTC prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on             , 2021. In order to obtain a physical stock certificate, a shareholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC and our transfer agent will need to act to facilitate this request. It is our understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, because we do not have any control over this process or over the brokers, it may take significantly longer than two weeks to obtain a physical certificate. If it takes longer than anticipated to obtain a physical certificate, shareholders who wish to redeem their shares may be unable to obtain physical certificates by the deadline for exercising their redemption rights and thus will be unable to redeem their shares.

In addition, holders of outstanding TortoiseCorp Units must separate the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If you hold TortoiseCorp Units registered in your own name, you must deliver the certificate for such units or deliver such units electronically to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company with written instructions to separate such units into public shares and public warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit the mailing of the public share certificates or electronic delivery of the public shares back to you so that you may then exercise your redemption rights with respect to the public shares following the separation of such public shares from the TortoiseCorp Units.

If a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee holds your TortoiseCorp Units, you must instruct such nominee to separate your TortoiseCorp Units. Your nominee must send written instructions by facsimile to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. Such written instructions must include the number of TortoiseCorp Units to be split and the nominee holding such units. Your nominee must also initiate electronically, using DTC’s DWAC system, a withdrawal of the relevant TortoiseCorp Units and a deposit of the corresponding number of public shares and public warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit your nominee to exercise your redemption rights with respect to the public shares following the separation of such public shares from the TortoiseCorp Units. While this is typically done electronically on the same business day, you should allow at least one full business day to accomplish the separation. If you fail to cause your public shares to be separated in a timely manner, you will likely not be able to exercise your redemption rights.

90

If a public shareholder fails to receive notice of TortoiseCorp’s offer to redeem its public shares in connection with the Business Combination, or fails to comply with the procedures for tendering its shares, such shares may not be redeemed.

TortoiseCorp will comply with the proxy rules when conducting redemptions in connection with the Business Combination. Despite TortoiseCorp’s compliance with these rules, if a public shareholder fails to receive TortoiseCorp’s proxy materials, such shareholder may not become aware of the opportunity to redeem its public shares. In addition, the proxy materials that TortoiseCorp will furnish to holders of its public shares in connection with the Business Combination will describe the various procedures that must be complied with in order to validly redeem public shares. In the event that a shareholder fails to comply with these or any other procedures, its public shares may not be redeemed.

If TortoiseCorp is unable to consummate the Business Combination or any other Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the public shareholders may be forced to wait beyond such date before redemption from the Trust Account.

If TortoiseCorp is unable to consummate the Business Combination or any other Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, TortoiseCorp will (a) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (b) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (c) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of TortoiseCorp’s remaining shareholders and the TortoiseCorp Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case of (b) and (c) above to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law.

The U.S. federal income tax treatment of the redemption of New Volta Class A Common Stock as a sale of such New Volta Class A Common Stock depends on a shareholder’s specific facts.

The U.S. federal income tax treatment of a redemption of New Volta Class A Common Stock will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of such New Volta Class A Common Stock under Section 302 of the Code, which will depend largely on the total number of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock treated as held by the shareholder electing to redeem its New Volta Class A Common Stock (including any stock constructively owned by the holder including as a result of owning private placement warrants or public warrants and any of our stock that a holder would directly or indirectly acquire pursuant to the Business Combination or the Private Placement Financing) relative to all of our shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock outstanding before and after the redemption. If such redemption is not treated as a sale of New Volta Class A Common Stock for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the redemption will instead be treated as a corporate distribution. For more information about the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the redemption of New Volta Class A Common Stock, see the subsection entitled “The Business Combination — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — Redemption of New Volta Class A Common Stock” or “The Business Combination — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Federal Income Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders — Redemption of New Volta Class A Common Stock,” as applicable.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December31, 2020 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December31, 2020 present the combination of the historical financial information of TortoiseCorp (as restated) and Volta after giving effect to the Business Combination, Private Placement Financing, and related adjustments described in the accompanying notes. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December31, 2020 combines the historical balance sheet of TortoiseCorp as of December31, 2020 (as restated) and the historical consolidated balance sheet of Volta as of December31, 2020 on a pro forma basis as if the Business Combination had been consummated on December31, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the period ended December31, 2020 combines the historical statement of operations of TortoiseCorp for the period from July24, 2020 (inception) through December31, 2020 (as restated) and the historical consolidated statement of operations of Volta for the year ended December31, 2020 on a pro forma basis as if the Business Combination had been consummated on January1, 2020, the beginning of the earliest period presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations.

The historical financial information of TortoiseCorp was derived from the audited financial statements of TortoiseCorp as of and for the period from July24, 2020 (inception) through December31, 2020 (as restated), included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The historical financial information of Volta was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Volta as of and for the year ended December31, 2020, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This information should be read together with TortoiseCorp’s and Volta’s audited financial statements and related notes, the sections entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of TortoiseCorp,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Volta” and other financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Introduction

TortoiseCorp is a blank check company incorporated on July24, 2020 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or other similar transaction with one or more businesses or entities. On September15, 2020, TortoiseCorp consummated its Initial Public Offering of 34,500,000 TortoiseCorp Units, including 4,500,000 TortoiseCorp Units that were issued pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full, at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $345.0million. Each TortoiseCorp Unit consists of one Class A Ordinary Share and one-fourth of one public warrant, for a total of 8,625,000 public warrants. Simultaneously with the Initial Public Offering, TortoiseCorp completed the private sale of 5,933,333 private placement warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant in a private placement to Tortoise Borrower, generating gross proceeds of approximately $8.9million. Each whole public warrant and private placement warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. TortoiseCorp also issued a total of 8,625,000 Class B Ordinary Shares.

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the private placement warrants, $345.0million of the net proceeds was placed in the Trust Account with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee and was available to be invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by TortoiseCorp, until the earlier of: (a) the completion of an Initial Business Combination and (b) the distribution of the Trust Account. TortoiseCorp has 24months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or 27months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering if it has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an Initial Business Combination within 24months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, but has not completed an Initial Business Combination within such 24-month period, to complete an Initial Business Combination, which would include the Business Combination.

94

Volta, formed in Hawaii in 2010 and incorporated in Delaware on December15, 2014, is headquartered in San Francisco, California. Volta is a holding company for its wholly-owned subsidiaries which are domiciled in California, Canada and Europe. Volta operates a managed network of charging stations for electric vehicles across the United States. Volta’s vision is to create EV charging networks that capitalize on and catalyze the shift from combustion-powered miles to electric miles by placing stations where consumers go, work and shop. Volta’s revenue is derived by selling content on the charging station network, monetizing the utilization of the stations and selling, installing and maintaining charging stations.

On February7, 2021, TortoiseCorp and its wholly owned subsidiaries, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub, entered into the Business Combination Agreement with Volta. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, First Merger Sub will merge with and into Volta, with Volta surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Volta, and as soon as practicable, but in any event within three days following the Effective Time and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, Volta (as the surviving entity of the First Merger) will merge with and into Second Merger Sub, with Second Merger Sub surviving the Second Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Volta. In connection with the Business Combination, current security holders of TortoiseCorp and Volta will become security holders of New Volta. Following the Business Combination, the New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Warrants will continue trading on the NYSE under the new symbols “VLTA” and “VLTA WS,” respectively, and New Volta will continue as a publicly-listed entity. Prior to the closing of the Business Combination, TortoiseCorp will domesticate as a Delaware corporation.

Description of the Business Combination

As noted above, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information contained herein assumes that TortoiseCorp’s shareholders approve the proposed Business Combination. TortoiseCorp cannot predict how many of its public shareholders will exercise their right to have their Class A Ordinary Shares redeemed for cash. As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented under two different redemption scenarios, which produce different allocations of total New Volta equity interests between holders of Ordinary Shares. As described in greater detail below, the first scenario, or “no redemptions scenario,” assumes that none of the public shareholders will exercise their right to have their Class A Ordinary Shares redeemed for cash, and the second scenario, or “maximum redemptions scenario,” assumes that holders of the maximum number of shares of Class A Ordinary Shares that can be redeemed for cash will exercise their right to have their Class A Ordinary Shares redeemed for cash, with TortoiseCorp still having: (1) cash on hand equal to or in excess of $225.0million, and (2) at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets, after deducting all amounts to be paid pursuant to the exercise of redemption rights, as required to consummate the Business Combination. The residual cash of TortoiseCorp remaining after any redemption of public shares and the Private Placement Financing will be retained by New Volta. The expected cash balance of New Volta under the no redemptions scenario and maximum redemptions scenario is $672.2million and $327.2million, respectively. The actual results will likely be within the parameters described by the two scenarios, however, there can be no assurance regarding which scenario will be closest to the actual results. Under both scenarios, Volta is considered to be the accounting acquirer, as further discussed in “Note 1 — Basis of Presentation” of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

In connection with the Domestication and prior to the Effective Time, the total issued and outstanding 34,500,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and 8,625,000 Class B Ordinary Shares as of December31, 2020 will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock. Each issued and outstanding public warrant and private placement warrant will convert automatically into a New Volta Warrant pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, entitling the holder to purchase one share of New Volta Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50. A dual class structure will be implemented and New Volta will be authorized to issue shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock that will carry voting rights in the form of ten votes per share. Upon the domestication, TortoiseCorp will immediately be renamed “Volta Inc.”

95

Each share of Volta Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination will be converted to New Volta Class B Common Stock based on the Exchange Ratio. Each share of Volta Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination will be converted into New Volta Class A Common Stock based on the Exchange Ratio. Each share of Volta Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination will, immediately prior to the Effective Time, be converted into shares of Volta Class B Common Stock at the then-effective conversion rate in accordance with the terms of the Volta Charter, which shares of Volta Class B Common Stock will be converted into New Volta Class A Common Stock based on the Exchange Ratio. Each outstanding and unexercised Volta Warrant will automatically be converted into a warrant to acquire a number of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock based on the Exchange Ratio, rounding down the resulting number of shares to the nearest whole number. Volta Options outstanding prior to the Business Combination will be converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Class B Common Stock, as applicable, equal to the Exchange Ratio. Volta Non-Plan Options outstanding and unexercised will be converted into an option to purchase shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio. Following the conversion of the Volta Options, Volta Non-Plan Options, Volta Warrants and Volta Restricted Stock described above, the resulting New Volta Options, New Volta Warrants and New Volta Restricted Stock conversions will be at an exercise price per share equal to (a) the exercise price per share for the shares of Volta Common Stock subject to such converted Volta Options, Volta Non-Plan Options, Volta Warrants or Volta Restricted Stock, as applicable, divided by (b) the Exchange Ratio, rounding up to the nearest whole cent.

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the Historical Rollover Shareholders will have the right to receive shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Class B Common Stock, as applicable, at a deemed value of $10.00 per share after giving effect to the Exchange Ratio of 1.2052, obtained by dividing (a) 130,000,000 by (b) the aggregate amount of Volta Outstanding Shares prior to the Business Combination. The amount of Volta Outstanding Shares, comprised of the total number of shares of Volta Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination, expressed on a fully-diluted and as-converted to Volta Common Stock basis, was 107,864,958shares. Accordingly, an estimated 101,240,276 and 11,431,899shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Class B Common Stock, respectively, will be issued and outstanding immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination. An estimated 35,271,107 and 134,993shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Class B Common Stock, respectively, will be reserved for the potential future issuance upon the exercise of New Volta Options and New Volta Warrants. An additional 10,500,000shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock will be reserved for issuance upon the settlement of certain restricted stock units to be issued pursuant to Volta’s 2021 Founder Incentive Plan.

In addition, in connection with the Business Combination, New Volta is proposing to implement two incentive plans, the 2021 Plan and the Founder Plan, which will be effective upon closing of the Business Combination, subject to approval by TortoiseCorp shareholders, in place of the existing Volta Option Plan. The purpose of the 2021 Plan and the Founder Plan is to provide eligible employees, directors, consultants and the founders the opportunity to receive stock-based incentive awards in order to encourage them to contribute materially to New Volta’s growth and to align the economic interests of such persons with those of its stockholders. The financial impact of the 2021 Plan and the Founder Plan has not been included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statement as it cannot be reliably estimated at this stage. See “Proposal No. 6 — The 2021 Plan Proposal” and “Proposal No. 7 — The Founder Plan Proposal” contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus for further information.

For more information about the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination, see the section entitled “The Business Combination.”

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

The pro forma adjustments have been prepared as if the Business Combination (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Conversion and the Domestication) had been consummated on December31, 2020 in the case of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and on January1, 2020, the beginning of the earliest period presented, in case of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared assuming the following methods of accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be presented as those of Volta in future reports of New Volta.

Notwithstanding the legal form of the Business Combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, TortoiseCorp will be treated as the “acquired” company and Volta will be treated as the acquirer for financial statement reporting purposes. Volta has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:

•        Volta’s existing stockholders will hold the majority of the ownership and voting rights of the post-combination company. The relative voting rights of the stockholders of the post-combination company will be equivalent to equity ownership (each share of New Volta Class A Common Stock has one vote per share), except for New Volta Class B Common Stock, which will carry ten votes per share. Under the no redemptions scenario, TortoiseCorp shareholders, including the public shareholders, the initial shareholders and the New Private Placement Investors, will hold a total of 25.3% of the voting power of the post-combination company compared to a 74.7% voting interest to be held by the Historical Rollover Shareholders. Under the maximum redemptions scenario, the initial shareholders and the New Private Placement Investors will hold a total of 15.2% of the voting power of the post-combination company compared to an 84.8% voting interest to be held by the Historical Rollover Shareholders. The public shareholders will not hold any shares or voting interest.

•        The New Volta Board will be composed of eight directors, with eight appointed, and with former Volta stockholders having the ability to elect or appoint a majority of the directors.

•        Volta’s senior management will be the majority of the senior management of New Volta.

Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of New Volta will represent a continuation of the financial statements of Volta with the acquisition being treated as the equivalent of Volta issuing stock for the net assets of TortoiseCorp, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of TortoiseCorp will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

One-time direct and incremental transaction costs anticipated to be incurred prior to, or concurrent with, the Business Combination are reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as a direct reduction to New Volta additional paid-in capital and are assumed to be cash settled.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December31, 2020 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

•        TortoiseCorp’s audited condensed balance sheet as of December31, 2020 (as restated) and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

•        Volta’s audited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December31, 2020 and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December31, 2020 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

•        TortoiseCorp’s audited statement of operations for the period from July24, 2020 (inception) through December31, 2020 (as restated) and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

•        Volta’s audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December31, 2020 and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

102

Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.

The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Business Combination are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that TortoiseCorp believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments, and it is possible the difference may be material. TortoiseCorp believes that these assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Business Combination based on information available to management at the time, and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

Based on its initial analysis, management did not identify any differences in accounting policies between TortoiseCorp and Volta that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not assume any differences in accounting policies. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, New Volta’s management will perform a comprehensive review of the two entities’ accounting policies. As a result of the review, New Volta’s management may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two entities which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of New Volta.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Business Combination taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of New Volta. They should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of TortoiseCorp (as restated) and Volta included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

In May 2020, the SEC adopted Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 became effective on January1, 2021. This Pro Forma financial information is presented in accordance with the guidance in Release No. 33-10786.

COMPARATIVE SHARE INFORMATION

The following table sets forth summary historical comparative share information for TortoiseCorp and Volta, respectively, and unaudited pro forma condensed combined per share information of New Volta after giving effect to the Business Combination, presented under two scenarios:

•        Assuming No Redemptions Scenario — this scenario assumes that none of the public shareholders exercise their right to have their Class A Ordinary Shares redeemed for cash; and

•        Assuming Maximum Redemptions Scenario — this scenario assumes that 34,500,000 Class A Ordinary Shares are redeemed for an aggregate payment of $345.0million, which is the maximum number of shares that could be redeemed in connection with the Business Combination at an assumed redemption price of $10.00 per share based on the Trust Account balance as of December31, 2020 with TortoiseCorp still having: (a) cash on hand equal to or in excess of $225.0million and (b) at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets, after giving effect to the Private Placement Financing and deducting all amounts to be paid pursuant to the exercise of redemption rights, as required to consummate the Business Combination.

The pro forma book value information reflects the Business Combination as if it had occurred on December31, 2020. The weighted average shares outstanding and net loss per share information reflect the Business Combination as if it had occurred on January1, 2020.

This information is only a summary and should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of TortoiseCorp (as restated) and Volta and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The unaudited pro forma combined per share information of TortoiseCorp and Volta is derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus in the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

The unaudited pro forma combined income (loss) per share information below does not purport to represent the income (loss) per share which would have occurred had the companies been combined during the periods presented, nor earnings per share for any future date of period. The unaudited pro forma combined book value per share information below does not purport to represent what the value of TortoiseCorp and Volta would have been had the companies been combined during the periods presented.

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

General

We are furnishing this proxy statement/prospectus to our shareholders as part of the solicitation of proxies by the TortoiseCorp Board for use at the extraordinary general meeting to be held on               , 2021, and at any adjournment thereof. This proxy statement/prospectus is first being furnished to our shareholders on or about               , 2021. This proxy statement/prospectus provides you with information you need to know to be able to vote or instruct your vote to be cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

All shareholders as of the record date, or their duly appointed proxies, may attend the extraordinary general meeting. For the purpose of satisfying requirements of Cayman Islands law, the extraordinary general meeting will be conducted at a physical location. However, in light of the health risks associated with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we are also providing a live webcast of the extraordinary general meeting via a virtual shareholder meeting format. To support the well-being of our shareholders, directors and officers, we encourage you to attend the extraordinary general meeting virtually via live webcast by visiting               .

Our virtual extraordinary general meeting format uses technology designed to increase shareholder access, save TortoiseCorp and our shareholders time and money and provide our shareholders rights and opportunities to participate in the virtual extraordinary general meeting similar to those they would have at the in-person extraordinary general meeting, at no cost. In addition to online attendance, we provide shareholders with an opportunity to hear all portions of the official extraordinary general meeting as conducted by the TortoiseCorp Board, submit written questions and comments during the extraordinary general meeting and vote online during the open poll portion of the extraordinary general meeting. We welcome your suggestions on how we can make our virtual extraordinary general meeting more effective and efficient.

Shareholders will have multiple opportunities to submit questions to TortoiseCorp for the extraordinary general meeting. Shareholders who wish to submit a question in advance may do so by pre-registering online and then selecting the chat box link. Shareholders also may submit questions live during the meeting. Questions pertinent to extraordinary general meeting matters may be recognized and answered during the extraordinary general meeting in our discretion, subject to time constraints. We reserve the right to edit or reject questions that are inappropriate for extraordinary general meeting matters. In addition, we will offer live technical support for all shareholders attending the extraordinary general meeting virtually.

To attend online and participate in the extraordinary general meeting, shareholders of record will need to visit              and enter the control number provided on your proxy card, regardless of whether you pre-registered.

Date, Time and Place

The extraordinary general meeting will be held in person on               , 2021, at              , Eastern time, at the offices of Vinson & Elkins L.L.P., located at 1114 Avenue of the Americas, 32nd Floor, New York, NY 10036, or such other date, time and place to which such meeting may be adjourned, to consider and vote upon the Proposals. In the interest of public health, and due to the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we are also planning for the meeting to be held virtually pursuant to the procedures described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, but the physical location of the meeting will remain at the location specified above for the purposes of Cayman Islands law and the Existing Organizational Documents.

Voting Power; Record Date

You will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the extraordinary general meeting if you owned Ordinary Shares, i.e., Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares, at the close of business on              , 2021, which is the record date for the extraordinary general meeting. You are entitled to one vote for each Ordinary Share that you owned as of the close of business on the record date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. On the record date, there were 43,125,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares outstanding in the aggregate, of which 34,500,000 were public shares and 8,625,000 were Founder Shares held by the initial shareholders.

111

Vote of our Sponsor and the Directors and Officers of TortoiseCorp

Our Sponsor, directors and officers have agreed to vote any Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares owned by them in favor of the Business Combination and the other Proposals.

Our Sponsor, directors and officers have waived any redemption rights, including with respect to Class A Ordinary Shares purchased in our IPO or in the aftermarket, in connection with the Business Combination. The Founder Shares held by our Sponsor and our independent directors have no redemption rights upon our liquidation and will be worthless if we do not effect an Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, our Sponsor, directors and officers are entitled to redemption rights upon our liquidation with respect to any Class A Ordinary Shares they may own.

Quorum and Required Vote for Proposals for the Extraordinary General Meeting

A quorum of our shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the extraordinary general meeting if holders of a majority of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares entitled to vote thereat attend in person, online or by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum.

The approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, the NYSE Proposal, the 2021 Plan Proposal, the Founder Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal, the Director Election Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote (in person, online or by proxy) of the holders of a majority of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and actually casting votes thereon at the extraordinary general meeting, voting as a single class. Under the Existing Organizational Documents, only the holders of Class B Ordinary Shares are entitled to vote on the election of directors and therefore the Director Election Proposal. Approval of the Domestication Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote (in person, online or by proxy) of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and actually casting votes thereon at the extraordinary general meeting, voting as a single class. Accordingly, a shareholder’s failure to vote in person, online or by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on any of the Proposals. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

The Closing is conditioned on the approval of the Condition Precedent Proposals at the extraordinary general meeting. Each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is cross-conditioned on each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Recommendation to TortoiseCorp Shareholders

After careful consideration, the TortoiseCorp Board recommends that our shareholders vote “FOR” each Proposal (or in the case of the Director Election Proposal, “FOR ALL NOMINEES”) being submitted to a vote of the shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting.

For a more complete description of our reasons for the approval of the Business Combination and the recommendation of the TortoiseCorp Board, see the subsection entitled “The Business Combination — The TortoiseCorp Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination.”

112

Voting Your Shares

Each Class A Ordinary Share and each Class B Ordinary Share that you own in your name entitles you to one vote on each of the Proposals for the extraordinary general meeting. Your one or more proxy cards show the number of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares that you own. There are several ways to vote your Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares:

•        You can vote your shares by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the extraordinary general meeting. If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign, date and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted “FOR” each of the Proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting. If you fail to return your proxy card or fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote, and do not virtually attend the extraordinary general meeting, the effect will be, among other things, that your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the extraordinary general meeting and will not be voted. An abstention or broker non-vote will be counted towards the quorum requirement but will not count as a vote cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

•        You can attend the extraordinary general meeting and vote in person or online even if you have previously voted by submitting a proxy pursuant to any of the methods noted above. However, if your Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, you must get a proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way we can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before the extraordinary general meeting or at such meeting by doing any one of the following:

•        you may send another proxy card with a later date;

•        you may notify our secretary, in writing, before the extraordinary general meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

•        you may attend the extraordinary general meeting, revoke your proxy and vote in person or online, as indicated above.

No Additional Matters May Be Presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting

The extraordinary general meeting has been called to consider only the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal, the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, the NYSE Proposal, the 2021 Plan Proposal, the Founder Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal, the Director Election Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal. Under the Existing Organizational Documents, other than procedural matters incident to the conduct of the extraordinary general meeting, no other matters may be considered at the extraordinary general meeting if they are not included in this proxy statement/prospectus, which serves as the notice of the extraordinary general meeting.

Who Can Answer Your Questions About Voting Your Shares

If you have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares, you may call Morrow Sodali LLC, our proxy solicitor, at (800) 662-5200 (banks and brokerage firms, please call collect at (203) 658-9400).

113

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to the Existing Organizational Documents, a public shareholder may request that TortoiseCorp redeem all or a portion of its public shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. As a holder of public shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:

(a)     hold public shares or, if you hold public shares through TortoiseCorp Units, you elect to separate your TortoiseCorp Units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares;

(b)    submit a written request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, TortoiseCorp’s transfer agent, in which you (i) request that New Volta redeem all or a portion of your public shares for cash, and (ii) identify yourself as the beneficial holder of the public shares and provide your legal name, phone number and address; and

(c)     deliver your public shares to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, TortoiseCorp’s transfer agent, physically or electronically through DTC.

Holders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their public shares in the manner described above prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on               , 2021 (two business days before the extraordinary general meeting) in order for their shares to be redeemed.

Holders of TortoiseCorp Units must elect to separate the TortoiseCorp Units into the underlying Class A Ordinary Shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If public shareholders hold their TortoiseCorp Units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, such public shareholders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the TortoiseCorp Units into the underlying public shares and public warrants. Your nominee must send written instructions by facsimile to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. Such written instructions must include the number of TortoiseCorp Units to be split and the nominee holding such units. Your nominee must also initiate electronically, using DTC’s DWAC system, a withdrawal of the relevant units and a deposit of the corresponding number of public shares and public warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit your nominee to exercise your redemption rights with respect to the public shares following the separation of such public shares from the TortoiseCorp Units. While this is typically done electronically on the same business day, you should allow at least one full business day to accomplish the separation. If you fail to cause your public shares to be separated in a timely manner, you will likely not be able to exercise your redemption rights. If a holder holds TortoiseCorp Units registered in its own name, the holder must contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, TortoiseCorp’s transfer agent, directly and instruct it to do so.

The redemption rights include the requirement that a holder must identify itself to TortoiseCorp in order to validly redeem its shares. Public shareholders (other than the initial shareholders) may elect to redeem their public shares even if they vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the public shares will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank. If the Business Combination is consummated, and if a public shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the public shares that it holds and timely delivers its shares to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, New Volta will redeem such public shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the Trust Account relating to such public shares, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, as of December31, 2020, this would have amounted to $10.00 per issued and outstanding public share. Each redemption of Class A Ordinary Shares by our public shareholders will decrease the amount in our Trust Account. In no event will we redeem public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. If a public shareholder exercises its redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its public shares for cash and will no longer own public shares. The redemption will take place following the Domestication and, accordingly, it is shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock that will be redeemed immediately after consummation of the Business Combination.

Prior to exercising redemption rights, shareholders should verify the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their Class A Ordinary Shares in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. We cannot

114

assure you that you will be able to sell your Class A Ordinary Shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in the Class A Ordinary Shares when you wish to sell your shares.

If you exercise your redemption rights, your Class A Ordinary Shares will cease to be outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination and will only represent the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account. You will no longer own those shares and will have no right to participate in, or have any interest in, our future growth following the Business Combination, if any. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly and timely demand redemption.

If the Business Combination is not approved and we do not consummate an Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our Trust Account by returning the then-remaining funds in such account to the public shareholders and the public warrants will expire worthless.

Appraisal Rights

There are no appraisal rights available to holders of Class A Ordinary Shares, Class B Ordinary Shares or TortoiseCorp Warrants in connection with the Business Combination or Domestication under Cayman Islands law or the DGCL.

Proxy Solicitation Costs

We are soliciting proxies on behalf of the TortoiseCorp Board. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. TortoiseCorp and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person. We will file with the SEC all scripts and other electronic communications as proxy soliciting materials. TortoiseCorp will bear the cost of the solicitation.

We have engaged Morrow Sodali LLC to assist in the proxy solicitation process. We will pay that firm a fee of $35,000, plus disbursements. We will reimburse Morrow Sodali LLC for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will indemnify Morrow Sodali LLC and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses. We will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. We will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

THE BUSINESS COMBINATION

This section of the proxy statement/prospectus describes the material provisions of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, but does not purport to describe all of the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A hereto. You are urged to read the Business Combination Agreement in its entirety because it is the primary legal document that governs the Business Combination.

The Business Combination Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Business Combination Agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made and will be made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the Business Combination Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Business Combination Agreement are also modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules, which we refer to as the “Schedules,” which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to shareholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, you should not rely on the representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement as characterizations of the actual state of facts about the respective parties. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Business Combination Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in our public disclosures.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Business Combination Agreement.

General: Structure of the Business Combination

On February7, 2021, TortoiseCorp, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub and Volta entered into the Business Combination Agreement, pursuant to which First Merger Sub will merge with and into Volta, with Volta surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Volta, and as soon as practicable, but in any event within three days following the Effective Time and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, Volta (as the surviving entity of the First Merger) will merge with and into Second Merger Sub, with Second Merger Sub surviving the Second Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Volta. The terms of the Business Combination Agreement, which contain customary representations and warranties, covenants, closing conditions, termination provisions and other terms relating to the Business Combination, are summarized below.

The First Merger and Second Merger will be consummated by the filing of certificates of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and will be effective immediately upon such filings or upon such later time as may be agreed by the parties and specified in such certificates of merger. The parties will hold the Closing immediately prior to such filing of the certificate of merger with respect to the First Merger on the Closing Date, which date will occur as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than three business days, following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at such time), or on such other date, time or place as TortoiseCorp and Volta may mutually agree.

Conversion of Securities

Immediately prior to the Effective Time and subject to receipt of the requisite approval of Volta’s stockholders, Volta will cause each share of Volta Preferred Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time to be automatically converted into shares of Volta Class B Common Stock at the then-effective conversion rate in accordance with the terms of the Volta Charter. Following the Conversion, there will be no outstanding shares of Volta Preferred Stock and each holder of Volta Preferred Stock will thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such securities.

116

At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Business Combination and without any action on the part of TortoiseCorp, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, Volta or the holders of any of Volta’s securities:

•        each share of Volta Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including shares of Volta Class B Common Stock resulting from the Conversion, but excluding shares of Volta Restricted Stock) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the number of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio;

•        each share of Volta Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding shares of Volta Restricted Stock) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the number of shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio;

•        all shares of Volta Common Stock and Volta Preferred Stock held in the treasury of Volta will be cancelled without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution will be made with respect thereto;

•        each share of First Merger Sub Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the surviving entity of the First Merger;

•        each Volta Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically converted into a warrant to purchase a number of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of Volta Common Stock subject to such Volta Warrant and (b) the Exchange Ratio, rounding down to the nearest whole number of shares, at an exercise price per share equal to (i) the exercise price per share for the shares of Volta Common Stock subject to such Volta Warrant divided by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, rounding up to the nearest whole cent;

•        each share of Volta Restricted Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into an award of a number of shares of New Volta Restricted Stock equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of Volta Restricted Stock subject to such award and (b) the Exchange Ratio (which award will remain subject to the same vesting and repurchase terms as such Volta Restricted Stock, except that any per share repurchase price applicable to such New Volta Restricted Stock shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the per share repurchase price applicable to the Volta Restricted Stock by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest cent);

•        each Volta Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically converted into a New Volta Option to purchase a number of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Class B Common Stock equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of Volta Common Stock subject to such Volta Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (b) the Exchange Ratio, rounding down to the nearest whole number of shares, at an exercise price per share equal to (i) the exercise price per share for the shares of Volta Common Stock subject to such Volta Option divided by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, rounding up to the nearest whole cent (which option will remain subject to the same vesting terms as such Volta Option); and

•        each Volta Non-Plan Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, in Volta’s sole discretion, either (i) be automatically cancelled for no consideration as of the Effective Time, or (ii) automatically, without any action on the part of the holder thereof or Volta and effective as of the Effective Time, be assumed and converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of Volta Common Stock subject to such Volta Non-Plan Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (b) the Exchange Ratio, rounding down to the nearest whole number of shares, at an exercise price per share equal to (i) the exercise price per share for the shares of Volta Common Stock subject to such Volta Non-Plan Option divided by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, rounding up to the nearest whole cent (which option will remain subject to the same vesting terms as such Volta Non-Plan Option).

Additional Agreements

Registration Statement; Proxy Statement

As promptly as practicable after the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, TortoiseCorp agreed to prepare and file with the SEC this Registration Statement in connection with providing TortoiseCorp’s shareholders with the opportunity to exercise their redemption rights and the registration under the Securities Act of the shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Class B Common Stock to be issued or issuable (i) in the Domestication and (ii) to the stockholders of Volta pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, including the shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the New Volta Warrants in accordance with their terms, which Registration Statement includes a proxy statement in preliminary form relating to the extraordinary general meeting (including any adjournment thereof) to be held to consider the Proposals.

Consent Solicitation; Written Consent

As promptly as practicable following the date upon which this Registration Statement becomes effective, Volta agreed to solicit the Requisite Volta Stockholder Approval via written consent in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL. In connection therewith, the Volta Board will set a record date for determining the stockholders of Volta entitled to provide such written consent and Volta will prepare an information statement (the “Information Statement”), which Information Statement shall include a description of the appraisal rights of the shareholders of Volta available under Section 262 of the DGCL and the dissenters’ rights of the shareholders of Volta available under Chapter 13 of the Corporations Code of the State of California, along with such other information as is required

thereunder and pursuant to applicable law. Volta agreed to use reasonable best efforts to cause certain of the Written Consent Parties to duly execute and deliver the Written Consent in respect of the shares of Volta Common Stock beneficially owned by such Written Consent Parties in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL within 48 hours of this Registration Statement becoming effective. As promptly as practicable following the execution and delivery of the Written Consent by the Written Consent Parties to Volta, Volta will deliver to TortoiseCorp a copy of such Written Consent. If the Written Consent Parties fail to deliver the Written Consent to Volta within 48 hours of this Registration Statement becoming effective (a “Written Consent Failure”), TortoiseCorp will have the right to terminate the Business Combination Agreement.

Each of Volta, on the one hand, and TortoiseCorp, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub, on the other hand, agreed to, and to direct their respective affiliates and representatives acting on their behalf to, immediately cease any and all existing discussions or negotiations with any person conducted prior to the execution of the Business Combination Agreement with respect to any Alternative Transaction.

The party who received the inquiry shall keep the other party informed, on a reasonably current and prompt basis, of the status and material terms of any such inquiry, proposal, indication or request with respect to an Alternative Transaction, including the material terms and conditions thereof any material amendments or proposed amendments.

If either party receives any inquiry or proposal as described above, then that party has agreed to promptly (and in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours after they become aware of such inquiry or proposal) notify such inquirer in writing that the party receiving the inquiry is subject to an exclusivity agreement with respect to the Alternative Transaction that prohibits them from considering such inquiry or proposal.

•        by either TortoiseCorp or Volta if any governmental authority in the United States shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any injunction, order, decree or ruling (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which has become final and nonappealable and has the effect of making consummation of the Business Combination illegal or otherwise preventing or prohibiting consummation of the Business Combination;

Related Agreements

This section describes the material provisions of certain additional agreements entered into or to be entered into pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, which we refer to as the “Related Agreements,” but does not purport to describe all of the terms thereof. The Related Agreements have been or will be filed with the SEC at a future date. Shareholders and other interested parties are urged to read such Related Agreements in their entirety.

Stockholder Support Agreement

On February7, 2021, TortoiseCorp, Volta and the Written Consent Parties entered into the Stockholder Support Agreement, pursuant to which the Written Consent Parties agreed to vote all of their shares of Volta Common Stock and Volta Preferred Stock in favor of the approval and adoption of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination, including agreeing to execute the Written Consent within 48 hours of the Registration Statement becoming effective. Additionally, such Written Consent Parties agreed, among other things, not to, prior to the Effective Time, (a) transfer any of their shares of Volta Common Stock and Volta Preferred Stock (or enter into any arrangement with respect thereto), subject to certain customary exceptions or (b) enter into any voting arrangement that is inconsistent with the Stockholder Support Agreement. The Stockholder Support

130

Agreement will terminate upon the earlier to occur of: (a) the Effective Time, (b) the date of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms and (c) the effective date of a written agreement of TortoiseCorp and the Written Consent Parties terminating the Stockholder Support Agreement.

A&R Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Closing, the IPO Registration Rights Agreement will be amended and restated and TortoiseCorp and the Registration Rights Holders will enter into the A&R Registration Rights Agreement. Pursuant to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, New Volta will agree that, within 30 calendar days after the consummation of the Business Combination, New Volta will file with the SEC (at New Volta’s sole cost and expense) the Resale Registration Statement, and New Volta will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to have the Resale Registration Statement declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof. In certain circumstances, certain of the Registration Rights Holders can demand up to three underwritten offerings, and all of the Registration Rights Holders will be entitled to customary piggyback registration rights. The A&R Registration Rights Agreement does not provide for the payment of any cash penalties by New Volta if it fails to satisfy any of its obligations under the A&R Registration Rights Agreement.

Lock-Up Agreements

On February7, 2021, the founders of Volta entered into the Lock-Up Agreement with TortoiseCorp and Volta, pursuant to which they agreed, subject to certain customary exceptions, not to effect any (a) direct or indirect sale, assignment, pledge, hypothecation, disposition, loan or other transfer, or entry into any agreement with respect to any sale, assignment, pledge, hypothecation, disposition, loan or other transfer, with respect to any shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Class B Common Stock held by them immediately after the Effective Time, including any shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Class B Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of New Volta Options or New Volta Warrants to purchase shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Class B Common Stock held by them immediately following the Closing or (b) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (a), in each case, until the date that is the earlier of (i) one year after the Closing Date and (ii) the earlier to occur of, subsequent to the Closing Date, (x) the first date on which the last reported sale price of the New Volta Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as equitably adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing and (y) the date on which there is consummated a subsequent liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of New Volta’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock for cash, securities or other property.

The Proposed Bylaws will include transfer restrictions on the New Volta securities issued to Volta stockholders in connection with the First Merger for a period of six months after the Closing.

Sponsor Letter

On February7, 2021, the initial shareholders entered into the Sponsor Letter with TortoiseCorp pursuant to which, among other things, the initial shareholders agreed to, (a) waive the anti-dilution rights set forth in Article 17.3 of the Existing Organizational Documents, (b) comply with the non-solicitation provisions in the Business Combination Agreement and (c) vote all TortoiseCorp Ordinary Shares held by them in favor of the adoption and approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination.

Private Placement Financing

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, on February7, 2021, TortoiseCorp entered into separate Subscription Agreements with each of the New Private Placement Investors, pursuant to which the New Private Placement Investors agreed to purchase, and TortoiseCorp agreed to sell to the New Private Placement Investors, an aggregate of 30,000,000 Private Placement Shares for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $300,000,000, in the Private Placement Financing.

131

The closing of the sale of the Private Placement Shares pursuant to the Subscription Agreements will take place substantially concurrently with the Closing and is contingent upon, among other customary closing conditions, the subsequent consummation of the Business Combination. The purpose of the Private Placement Financing is to raise additional capital for use by the post-combination company following the Closing.

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, TortoiseCorp agreed that, within 30 calendar days after the consummation of the Business Combination, New Volta will file with the SEC (at New Volta’s sole cost and expense) the Private Placement Resale Registration Statement, and New Volta will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Private Placement Resale Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (a) 60 calendar days (or 90 calendar days if the SEC notifies New Volta that it will review the Private Placement Resale Registration Statement) following the Closing and (b) the tenth business day after the SEC notifies New Volta that the Private Placement Resale Registration Statement will not be reviewed or will not be subject to further review.

Background of the Business Combination

The terms of the business combination were the result of extensive negotiations between representatives of TortoiseCorp and Volta. The following is a brief description of the background of these negotiations, the Business Combination and related transactions.

TortoiseCorp is a Cayman Islands exempted company formed on July24, 2020 for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. TortoiseCorp’s business strategy is to identify and complete a business combination with a company that is playing an active role in providing solutions to reduce emissions and/or improve the sustainability of products and industries, along with making a positive impact on the communities that it serves by employing efficient and innovative business practices. The proposed business combination with Volta was the result of a search for a potential transaction utilizing the broad network of contacts and corporate relationships developed by TortoiseCorp management.

On September15, 2020, TortoiseCorp completed its IPO of 34,500,000 TortoiseCorp Units, including 4,500,000 TortoiseCorp Units that were issued pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full, with each TortoiseCorp Unit consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share and one-fourth of one public warrant, generating gross proceeds to TortoiseCorp of $345,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, TortoiseCorp completed the private sale of 5,933,333 private placement warrants to Tortoise Borrower, generating gross proceeds to us of approximately $8,900,000. There are a total of 14,558,333 whole public warrants and private placement warrants outstanding, and each whole TortoiseCorp Warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share.

Following the closing of our IPO, TortoiseCorp management commenced an active search for businesses or assets to acquire for the purpose of consummating our Initial Business Combination. We reviewed self-generated ideas, explored ideas with the underwriters from our IPO, and contacted, and were contacted by, a number of individuals and entities with respect to over 60 potential Business Combination opportunities across a wide array of industry sectors or technologies, including businesses engaged in or involving renewable fuels, transportation, energy storage, renewable power and energy efficiency.

By January7, 2021, the date on which TortoiseCorp and Volta agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, to enter into exclusive negotiations with respect to a potential Business Combination, TortoiseCorp conducted due diligence and discussions (including by participating in investor presentations) with the senior executives, stockholders or sponsors of, or investment advisors to, 12 Initial Business Combination candidates (the “Other Potential Acquisitions”). TortoiseCorp management conducted site visits with respect to certain of the Other Potential Acquisitions.

132

In connection with TortoiseCorp’s due diligence evaluation of and discussions with the Other Potential Acquisitions:

•        TortoiseCorp focused its efforts primarily on bilateral discussions with the key decision-makers of each of the Other Potential Acquisitions regarding a potential transaction, although four of the Other Potential Acquisitions became involved in auction processes led by investment banks after TortoiseCorp began its initial review or, in some cases, commenced auction processes when TortoiseCorp began its initial review;

•        TortoiseCorp entered into nine non-disclosure agreements; and

•        TortoiseCorp submitted formal indications of interest and/or draft letters of intent to three of the Other Potential Acquisitions with an initial indication of value ranging from approximately $800million to $1.8billion.

Due to the progression of the discussions with Volta, as well as TortoiseCorp Board’s conclusion that a transaction with Volta would present the most attractive opportunity for TortoiseCorp’s shareholders, the TortoiseCorp Board ultimately determined that a business combination with Volta was the most attractive potential transaction for TortoiseCorp. The decision to pursue a business combination with Volta over the Other Potential Acquisitions was generally the result of, but not limited to, one or more of the following factors:

•        the belief by TortoiseCorp that the Other Potential Acquisitions did not fully meet the investment criteria of TortoiseCorp, which included, among other things, candidates that would benefit from TortoiseCorp’s management’s structuring expertise, insight and capital markets expertise, exhibit a need for capital to achieve the company’s growth strategy, are at an inflection point, have attractive opportunities to grow the business and would be well-received by public investors;

•        a difference in valuation expectations between TortoiseCorp and the senior executives and stockholders of, or advisors to, the Other Potential Acquisitions;

•        TortoiseCorp’s assessment of the likelihood of raising capital to finance the incremental capital needs of the Other Potential Acquisitions at the indicative valuation with institutional investors through a private investment in public equity (a “PIPE”);

•        a determination by TortoiseCorp that the Other Potential Acquisitions were not prepared to satisfy accounting and other requirements applicable to publicly listed companies following an Initial Business Combination and listing on a national securities exchange, or generally not prepared to operate as a publicly listed company due to a variety of factors;

•        a lack of conviction in the commitment by the Other Potential Acquisitions to reduce carbon emissions or improve sustainability of products or services;

•        a belief by TortoiseCorp that Volta possessed a superior management team that was well-prepared and positioned to execute on its business plan; and

•        the determination by TortoiseCorp and our Sponsor that Volta, including its business and business prospects, was of superior quality to the Other Potential Acquisitions.

On September16, 2020, a representative of Goldman, Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), who served as one of TortoiseCorp’s underwriters in its IPO, contacted Vince Cubbage, TortoiseCorp’s Chief Executive Officer, to discuss a private company engaged in the EV charging station sector that would align with TortoiseCorp’s goal of decarbonization and sustainability. On that same day, Stephen Pang, Chief Financial Officer of TortoiseCorp, held a telephone conference with another representative of Goldman Sachs regarding a recently-announced special purpose acquisition company transaction in the EV charging space. The discussion focused on the strong level of interest among institutional investors for investment opportunities in the EV charging sector.

Following Goldman Sachs’ conversations with Mr.Cubbage and Mr.Pang, Goldman Sachs sent an email on September16, 2020 introducing Christopher Wendel, President and co-founder of Volta, to Messrs. Cubbage and Pang, and the gentlemen agreed to hold an introductory teleconference between senior representatives of their organizations the following week.

On September18, 2020, TortoiseCorp and Volta executed a mutual confidentiality agreement to facilitate confidential discussions between the parties and the sharing of confidential information between the parties and their respective representatives. The mutual confidentiality agreement did not restrict TortoiseCorp or Volta from engaging in discussions regarding a strategic transaction (or, in the case of TortoiseCorp, an Initial Business Combination) with any other party.

On that same day and after the confidentiality agreement was entered into, representatives of Goldman Sachs held a teleconference with Mr.Cubbage and Mr.Pang to discuss Volta’s business model, EV charging station technology and geographic footprint, management team and long-term growth plans. Goldman Sachs also reviewed the future capital needs of Volta as well as a proposed Series D private financing round (the “Volta Series D Financing”) as to which it was advising Volta, together with the timetable for such capital raise.

On September21, 2020, representatives of Volta, including Scott Mercer, Volta’s founder and Chief Executive Officer, Mr.Wendel, Drew Lipsher, Volta’s Chief Strategy Officer, and Andrew Cornelia, Volta’s Chief of Staff, hosted an introductory video conference call with Messrs. Cubbage and Pang and other members of the TortoiseCorp management team to provide an introduction to Volta’s business, operations, technology, long-term strategy, competitive landscape and timetable for the proposed Volta Series D Financing. TortoiseCorp management also provided to Volta’s management team a brief introduction to TortoiseCorp’s business strategy and organizational structure as well as the expected attributes of a potential business combination between Volta and TortoiseCorp.

Following calls between representatives of Goldman Sachs and members of TortoiseCorp’s management on September 22 and September23, 2020 to discuss the business of Volta and the initial financial model used for the Volta Series D Financing, a follow-up video conference was held on September24, 2020, where Messrs. Mercer, Wendel, Lipsher and Cornelia provided further details of an investor presentation regarding Volta’s business and the amount of the proposed Volta Series D Financing. During that video conference, members of TortoiseCorp discussed the public market receptivity to recent EV charging related transactions and the possibility of a business combination between TortoiseCorp and Volta following the close of the proposed Volta Series D Financing. After discussing the benefits to Volta of additional working capital sourced from TortoiseCorp’s trust fund and other capital TortoiseCorp could raise from institutional investors in connection with the transaction, TortoiseCorp requested Volta management provide updated financial projections to model Volta’s longer-term growth prospects using such capital. Following such call, Messrs. Cubbage and Pang called Barclays Capital, Inc. (“Barclays”), an underwriter in TortoiseCorp’s IPO, to discuss the prospect of Barclays serving as financial advisor to TortoiseCorp in connection with a potential business combination with Volta and to evaluate preliminarily the likelihood of interest by institutional investors in providing additional capital to finance Volta’s business plan through a PIPE that would close simultaneously with the Business Combination.

On September28, 2020, Messrs. Cubbage and Pang had a conference call with Mr.Wendel. During that call, Mr.Cubbage expressed TortoiseCorp’s interest in exploring a potential business combination with Volta and discussed next steps for an onsite visit in San Francisco to meet the full executive team.

Between September29, 2020 and October4, 2020, TortoiseCorp’s management held several calls with representatives of Barclays, including industry and coverage specialists, to discuss the prospects of a business combination with Volta, including Volta’s business, pre-money valuation ranges, the out-of-home media market, the EV charging station market, the regulatory environment, the competitive landscape and Volta’s business model and financial assumptions, including its growth strategy and current and prospective sources of revenue.

During a visit to Volta’s headquarters by TortoiseCorp management on October7, 2020, Volta’s management made presentations to TortoiseCorp regarding Volta’s EV charging station technology, third-party vendors relied upon by Volta including vendors that assist Volta with the permitting, construction and installation of Volta’s EV charging stations, financial model and assumptions including Volta’s research and development budget, competitive landscape, outlook for the EV charging station sector and the regulatory environment, plans and strategies for continued international expansion and public-company preparedness. During that site visit, Mr.Cubbage explained the merits of a transaction with TortoiseCorp, including the benefits to Volta from accelerating its growth strategy in the fast-growing EV charging station market with the proceeds from TortoiseCorp’s trust funds together with additional capital TortoiseCorp could raise in a PIPE offering, the timetable to negotiate and close a possible business combination and certain accounting and regulatory requirements applicable to publicly-traded companies as well as, in general, public-company readiness. Representatives of Goldman Sachs also gave an update on the status and closing timetable of the proposed Volta Series D Financing.

134

Throughout the period of October8, 2020 through November24, 2020, TortoiseCorp management participated in numerous conference calls with representatives of each of Volta, Goldman Sachs and Barclays to discuss the updated financial projection model for the combined company upon closing of a business combination, which was received on October8, 2020, and sensitivities to the business cases, potential valuations of Volta, the status of the planned Volta Series D Financing and various diligence matters. After Mr.Cubbage explained how a business combination between Volta and TortoiseCorp would meet the objectives and strategy of both companies, Mr.Wendel advised Mr.Cubbage during a call on November18, 2020 that Volta was interested in discussing a business combination with TortoiseCorp in earnest, but not until the completion of the Volta Series D Financing. During this period, TortoiseCorp management also engaged in preliminary discussions with leading management consulting firms and technology and engineering firms to evaluate the expertise of such firms for the purpose of assisting TortoiseCorp in its due diligence investigation of Volta as well as the EV charging station sector.

On November25, 2020, TortoiseCorp delivered a letter to Volta, in which TortoiseCorp expressed its interest in combining with Volta, set out TortoiseCorp’s management team’s long history of successfully completing mergers and acquisitions and PIPE financings and expressed a preliminary pre-money valuation of Volta in the range of $1.0billion to $1.2billion, subject to completion of confirmatory due diligence and Volta meeting its current business plan and certain peer company benchmark trading performance. In the letter, Mr.Cubbage proposed that TortoiseCorp would raise an additional $200million in a PIPE offering, in addition to TortoiseCorp’s $345million of trust funds that would be available to the combined company after closing (assuming no redemptions), to further fund Volta’s growth plans. TortoiseCorp also advised Volta that it would be prepared to enter into a letter of intent with Volta and complete its due diligence investigation of Volta once Volta and TortoiseCorp reached mutual agreement on the pre-money valuation of Volta, provided Volta agreed to negotiate exclusively with TortoiseCorp regarding a potential business combination.

Throughout the period of November25, 2020 to January6, 2021, TortoiseCorp management (a) continued to analyze the business of Volta and its competitors as well as the current regulatory environment together with anticipated changes in government policy to encourage the growth of EV charging stations and (b) held several discussions with Barclays regarding the valuation of Volta and the feasibility of a $200million (or more) PIPE offering. In addition, and during this same period, members of TortoiseCorp’s management had conference calls with members of Volta’s senior management team to discuss the status of the Volta Series D Financing and the desire of both TortoiseCorp and Volta to reach agreement on the framework for entering exclusivity and negotiating a potential transaction by late December 2020 or early January 2021.

On December17, 2020, Goldman Sachs delivered to TortoiseCorp discussion materials for a conference call between the parties. On that day, representatives of management of Volta and TortoiseCorp, together with representatives of Goldman Sachs, held a conference call to discuss the materials, including the status and scheduled closing date of the pending Volta Series D Financing, the overall draft timetable for a potential business combination between Volta and TortoiseCorp, the projected launch date of the marketing of the anticipated PIPE offering, access to a virtual data room containing more complete confidential information relating to Volta and its business and affairs and the allocation of work streams among the parties and their advisors.

On December23, 2020, Mr.Wendel informed Mr.Cubbage that Volta had closed the Volta Series D Financing and would provide data room access to the TortoiseCorp management team. On December28, 2020 TortoiseCorp management and Barclays held a conference call with representatives of Goldman Sachs to discuss views on valuation of the proposed business combination based on relative trading values of comparable companies, transaction multiples and appropriate discounts to those multiples for a new company entering the public markets at the time of a business combination announcement. On December29, 2020, Mr.Cubbage and certain other members of TortoiseCorp’s management team held a conference call with Messrs. Mercer and Wendel together with representatives of Goldman Sachs to discuss the pre-money valuation range of Volta. During that call, Tortoise proposed a pre-money valuation of Volta in the range of $1.25billion to $1.35billion, and Mr.Cubbage advised Messrs. Mercer and Wendel that TortoiseCorp would send to Volta a draft of a letter of intent that sets out the general framework of a business combination. Mr.Cubbage informed Mr.Wendel that TortoiseCorp would not be prepared to execute a letter of intent unless Volta agreed to negotiate exclusively with TortoiseCorp with respect to a possible business combination. Mr.Wendel advised Mr.Cubbage that Volta would be prepared to agree to exclusivity provided TortoiseCorp also agreed to reciprocal exclusivity. Mr.Cubbage advised Mr.Wendel that an exclusive undertaking on the part of TortoiseCorp would be acceptable but only with respect to businesses operating in the EV charging station sector.

135

Later that same day, Mr.Cubbage sent a draft of a non-binding letter of intent to Mr.Wendel setting out the general framework for a potential business combination between Volta and TortoiseCorp. The draft of TortoiseCorp’s non-binding letter proposed: (a) a pre-money equity value of Volta equal to $1.3billion and contemplated a business combination in which a single class of common stock of TortoiseCorp would be issued in exchange for all outstanding shares of common stock and preferred stock (or equity rights with respect thereto) held by the Historical Rollover Shareholders; (b) an exclusive negotiating period of the later of 60 days and the date that would be five days after Volta delivered to TortoiseCorp certain audited financial statements, except that TortoiseCorp’s exclusive negotiating covenant applied solely to businesses that were engaged in the EV charging business sector; (c) that TortoiseCorp would issue an additional $200million of common shares in a PIPE offering to provide additional working capital to the combined company on a post-closing basis; (d) a post-closing, single-class, board of directors consisting of nine directors, two of which would be nominated by the Sponsor and seven of which would be nominated by Volta; (e) restrictions on the ability of certain Historical Rollover Shareholders to sell TortoiseCorp shares (i.e., a lock-up) issued to them in a business combination for a period of 180-days following the closing thereof, except that Messrs. Mercer and Wendel would be subject to a lock-up for a period of two (2) years following the closing of a business combination (subject to their right to sell an unspecified number of shares commencing on the expiration date of the lock-up applicable to the Founder Shares); (f) an equity incentive plan for the officers, directors and employees of Volta in the range of 5% to 10% of the total pro forma issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the combined company as of the date of the closing of a business combination; (g) that an unspecified group of key management members enter into employment agreements with the combined company, with the terms of agreements and the key management members to be agreed upon by the parties at a later date; (h) a condition that neither party would have an obligation to close the business combination unless TortoiseCorp had at closing an amount of cash from its trust funds (after giving effect to all required redemptions) and proceeds from the sale of shares in a PIPE offering equal to, in the aggregate, $200million (i.e., the minimum cash closing condition); and (i) other terms customary for a transaction of the type contemplated by TortoiseCorp’s proposed business combination. TortoiseCorp also proposed that it would re-domicile as a Delaware corporation immediately prior to closing the proposed business combination.

Throughout the period of December27, 2020 through February6, 2021, TortoiseCorp and its legal and financial advisors and industry consultants conducted their due diligence investigation regarding Volta, including a review of due diligence materials posted by Volta to the virtual data room.

On December30, 2020, Mr.Wendel called Mr.Cubbage to convey Volta’s initial reactions to TortoiseCorp’s proposed letter of intent, during which call the parties discussed certain aspects of the proposed business combination, including TortoiseCorp’s proposed $1.3billion pre-money valuation of Volta, lock-up restrictions and the $200million minimum cash closing condition.

On December31, 2020, representatives of Volta sent comments to the draft letter of intent to TortoiseCorp. Volta tentatively accepted the $1.3billion pre-money valuation but proposed various revisions and additional provisions to TortoiseCorp’s initial proposal, including: (a) a shorter time period for exclusive negotiations and, with respect to TortoiseCorp, a requirement that TortoiseCorp’s exclusive negotiating obligation apply to business combination candidates engaged in any business sector rather than only the EV charging business sector; (b) a dual-class common stock structure, with Messrs. Mercer and Wendel (and certain other Historical Rollover Shareholders) exchanging their Volta shares for shares of the combined company possessing an unspecified number of higher votes per share and the other Historical Rollover Shareholders exchanging their Volta shares for shares of the combined company possessing one vote per share; (c) a management incentive compensation plan for certain key members of management, with the size of and participants in the plan to be agreed upon at a later date and with awards to vest based on certain stock trading triggers; (d) a staggered board structure, consisting of three classes of directors; (e) that all Historical Rollover Shareholders agree, with respect to the shares of stock of the combined company issued to them in the business combination, to a lock-up for a period of 180-days after the closing of the business combination, but that the lock-up applicable to shares of the combined company issued to Messrs. Mercer and Wendel would expire contemporaneously with the expiration of the lock-up applicable to the Founder Shares; (f) an equity incentive plan for the officers, directors and employees of Volta equal to 10% (rather than in the range of 5% to 10%) of the total pro forma issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the combined company as of the date of the closing of the business combination; (g) that only Volta have the right to condition its obligation to close the business combination on TortoiseCorp satisfying the minimum cash closing condition and that, in any event, the amount of cash needed to satisfy this condition was an issue for the parties to agree upon; (h) that

136

TortoiseCorp would be required to close the business combination regardless of whether Volta suffered a material adverse effect; and (i) that the Sponsor would be required to forfeit an unspecified number of Founder Shares in the event that (i) the minimum cash closing condition is not satisfied or (ii) if the trading price of the combined company’s common stock trades at a price (which price had not been specified by Volta) for a certain period of time post-closing. Volta also indicated that it desired to discuss whether $200million was the appropriate amount of capital to be raised by TortoiseCorp in the proposed PIPE offering.

Over the next few days, representatives of Volta and TortoiseCorp spoke by telephone regarding various comments reflected in Volta’s revised draft of the letter of intent delivered to TortoiseCorp on December31, 2020. On January3, 2021, TortoiseCorp delivered to Volta and Goldman Sachs a revised draft of a letter of intent, in which TortoiseCorp accepted Volta’s December31, 2020 draft letter of intent, except: (a) TortoiseCorp offered a 45-day exclusivity period, which would automatically extend to 75 days from the date of execution of the letter of intent if by the 45th day, TortoiseCorp confirmed in writing that nothing in its due diligence investigation had caused TortoiseCorp to lower its $1.3billion pre-money valuation of Volta; (b) TortoiseCorp offered to engage in exclusive negotiations with respect to EV charging station businesses and further offered not to engage in material due diligence with respect to a potential acquisition candidate engaged in other lines of business; (c) TortoiseCorp offered to consider an additional management incentive plan for unidentified key members of management, with such awards to vest based on terms to be negotiated; (d) TortoiseCorp offered to raise $200million of capital in the proposed PIPE offering, with the understanding that the parties would cooperate with the other’s reasonable request to increase the PIPE offering to $300million (or such other amount as the parties may otherwise agree), subject to investor interest; (e) TortoiseCorp indicated its willingness to consider a dual-class common stock voting structure subject to further discussions; (f) TortoiseCorp rejected a staggered or classified board structure; (g) TortoiseCorp proposed that certain founders of Volta would be prohibited from selling, once their lock-up period expired, more than 25% of the shares issued to them in the Business Combination during any six-month period; and (h) TortoiseCorp proposed a minimum cash closing amount equal to the amount of the PIPE offering plus $34.5million, and that this condition would be a mutual closing condition. In addition, TortoiseCorp rejected Volta’s requests to eliminate as a condition to TortoiseCorp’s obligation to close the non-occurrence of a material adverse effect upon Volta, as well as any commitment on the part of TortoiseCorp to forfeit any Founder Shares based on the minimum cash closing condition not being satisfied or otherwise.

On January4, 2021, representatives of the senior management team of Volta and TortoiseCorp, together with their legal advisers and Goldman Sachs, held a conference call to discuss TortoiseCorp’s latest draft of the letter of intent, including among other matters the duration of the exclusivity period as well as TortoiseCorp’s exclusivity obligations, the combined company’s post-closing board and capital stock structure (including the dual-class capital structure then in effect under Volta’s existing constituent documents) and the minimum cash closing condition and the mutuality of such condition. Following such call, Steven Schnitzer, TortoiseCorp’s General Counsel, spoke with Volta’s outside counsel to discuss the terms of TortoiseCorp’s exclusivity obligations and reached tentative agreement upon a framework for TortoiseCorp’s exclusivity obligations.

On January5, 2021, Volta delivered a revised draft of the letter of intent, accepting TortoiseCorp’s January 3rd draft letter of intent, except that: (a) Volta offered a 30-day exclusivity period, which would automatically extend to 75 days from the date of execution of the letter of intent if the parties had commenced the PIPE offering marketing process by the end of the initial 30-day period; (b) TortoiseCorp would agree to negotiate exclusively with Volta during the exclusivity period and not engage in discussions regarding a potential business combination with a third party engaged in any line of business, subject to certain exceptions; (c) Volta proposed a $175million PIPE offering, but agreed that the parties would cooperate with the other’s reasonable request to increase the PIPE offering to an unspecified greater amount as the parties may agree, subject to investor interest; (d) Volta required the post-closing combined company to adopt a dual-class voting capital structure, with Messrs. Mercer and Wendel and certain other Historical Rollover Shareholders exchanging their Volta shares for common stock of the combined company possessing a larger (but unspecified) number of votes per share than the other class of common stock of the combined company; (e) Volta required the post-closing board of the combined company to continue with TortoiseCorp’s classified board structure; (f) Volta rejected limiting the right of certain founders to sell, after the agreed upon lock-up period expires, no more than 25% of the shares issued to them in the Business Combination during any six-month period; (g) Volta would engage a compensation consultant to discuss the parameters of the general incentive compensation plan, a long-term incentive plan for certain key members of management and certain

137

other equity compensation awards to certain members of management, and TortoiseCorp and Volta would consider adopting such plans and awards; and (h) Volta proposed a minimum cash closing amount of $225million, but that satisfaction of such condition would be a condition only to Volta’s obligation to close the business combination.

Later that same day, TortoiseCorp delivered a revised draft of the non-binding letter of intent in which it accepted Volta’s latest draft, except that: (a) TortoiseCorp would have no obligation to give certain notices to Volta in connection with unsolicited offers submitted to TortoiseCorp during the exclusivity period by third parties in respect of a potential business combination; (b) TortoiseCorp would agree that the common shares of the combined company to be held by Messrs. Mercer and Wendel and certain other Historical Rollover Shareholders would possess a higher vote on a post-closing basis relative to the common shares held by other shareholders of the combined company so long as such high-vote shares convert into low-vote shares at a time to be mutually agreed upon by the parties during the negotiation of the definitive documents; and (c) TortoiseCorp would agree to the $225million cash closing condition as proposed by Volta with the understanding that the PIPE offering would be increased to a minimum of $225million, subject to investor interest in the offering.

On January6, 2021, Mr.Wendel telephoned Mr.Cubbage to indicate that Volta had accepted TortoiseCorp’s latest draft letter of intent and that the Volta Board had approved such draft. Later that day, following a meeting held by TortoiseCorp’s management with the TortoiseCorp Board to discuss the terms and conditions of the letter of intent including the valuation of Volta, the TortoiseCorp Board approved the latest draft of the letter of intent. On that same day, Volta and TortoiseCorp, together with representatives of Goldman Sachs and Barclays, held a conference call to review the timetable for the proposed business combination, the process and timetable for wall crossing PIPE investors and the timetable for the completion of due diligence by TortoiseCorp and its advisors and industry consultants.

On January7, 2021, TortoiseCorp and Volta entered into the non-binding letter of intent. On that same day, TortoiseCorp had a diligence call with its outside legal counsel, Vinson & Elkins L.L.P. (“Vinson & Elkins”), which sent TortoiseCorp’s updated due diligence request list to Volta’s outside legal advisors, Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP (“Orrick”). In addition and later that day, Barclays entered into a confidentiality agreement with TortoiseCorp relating to the proposed business combination and PIPE offering.

On January8, 2021, representatives of TortoiseCorp, Barclays and Vinson & Elkins met by teleconference with Goldman Sachs to review the timetable relating to various aspects of the transaction, including the launch of the PIPE offering marketing process, distribution of initial drafts of a business combination agreement and other principal transaction documents and the completion of diligence by TortoiseCorp and its advisors and consultants.

On January12, 2021, representatives of Volta, TortoiseCorp, Goldman Sachs and Barclays held a teleconference to review an updated and final version of a financial projection model for the combined company upon closing of the business combination reflecting the use of funds in the Trust Account and proceeds from the PIPE offering, along with Volta’s business plan and operating budget, together with internal, unaudited prospective financial information for the post-business combination combined company prepared by Volta on January11, 2021 as set forth under “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination — Unaudited Prospective Financial Information.”

On January13, 2021, Goldman Sachs distributed to TortoiseCorp and Barclays an initial draft of an investor presentation relating to Volta and the Business Combination to be used for the PIPE offering marketing process. Throughout the period of January13, 2021 to January20, 2021, representatives of Volta and TortoiseCorp, together with their respective legal and financial advisors at different stages of the process, met during multiple drafting sessions to discuss and revise drafts of the PIPE offering investor presentation.

On January14, 2021, representatives of TortoiseCorp and Vinson & Elkins met by teleconference with representatives of Volta and Orrick to review certain historical information relating to Volta and other due diligence matters.

On January15, 2021, representatives of Volta and TortoiseCorp held a teleconference to discuss the timetable for the launch of the PIPE offering marketing process as well as the market valuation of other companies in the EV charging station sector. During such call, Volta’s representative discussed Volta’s view of its market value given both its current business prospects as well as market conditions due in part to the stated priorities of the new federal government administration. Volta also discussed feedback they had received from current Volta investors and potential PIPE investors as to market valuations expected to be received by certain Volta competitors that were

138

thought to be in the capital raising process at that time. Volta reiterated its management team’s support for a potential business combination with TortoiseCorp but conveyed that certain Volta investors and members of the Volta Board were beginning to question whether TortoiseCorp’s indicated value was sufficient.

On January15, 2021 and January18, 2021, TortoiseCorp management held separate meetings with the TortoiseCorp Board to discuss, among other things, the engagement of Barclays and Goldman Sachs as co-placement agents for the proposed PIPE offering (collectively, the “Placement Agents”) and Barclays as financial advisor and capital markets advisor to TortoiseCorp in connection with the proposed business combination. During such meetings, members of senior management of TortoiseCorp provided an update with respect to the results of their due diligence investigation regarding Volta. During the January18, 2021 meeting, Mr.Cubbage discussed recent telephone conversations he had with representatives of Volta and a representative of Goldman Sachs regarding a request by the Volta Board for TortoiseCorp to increase its pre-money valuation of Volta.

On January17, 2021, representatives of Goldman Sachs, Barclays, Volta and TortoiseCorp held a teleconference to discuss the current version of the PIPE offering investor presentation, potential target investors and the timetable for the launch of the PIPE offering marketing process.

On January19, 2021, TortoiseCorp engaged Goldman Sachs and Barclays as Placement Agents and Barclays as TortoiseCorp’s financial advisor. On that same day, representatives of the Placement Agents began to wall cross targeted investors that may have an interest in discussing, on a confidential basis, participation in the Private Placement Financing.

On January20, 2021, Vinson & Elkins distributed to Orrick an initial draft of the Business Combination Agreement, and the Placement Agents posted the Private Placement Financing investor presentation to a virtual data room for review by potential New Private Placement Investors.

After the close of business on January22, 2021, the Placement Agents held an update conference call with TortoiseCorp and Volta, during which the Placement Agents informed the parties that that there was a high degree of interest from the investors that had participated in the initial Private Placement Financing marketing meetings. Between January 22 and January24, 2021, Mr.Cubbage had separate teleconferences with representatives of Goldman Sachs, Mr.Wendel and John Tough, a director of the Volta Board, in which Volta discussed TortoiseCorp potentially increasing its pre-money valuation of Volta, with Mr.Cubbage initially rejecting the proposal. After further consideration, the Volta Board agreed that the pre-money valuation of Volta would not be increased above the valuation agreed to in the executed letter of intent.

On January22, 2021, representatives of TortoiseCorp had a diligence call with Vinson & Elkins, and following such call, Vinson & Elkins sent to Orrick a supplemental diligence request list.

During calls between January 22 and January24, 2021, representatives of Volta discussed with representatives of TortoiseCorp additional details as to an existing arrangement to which Messrs. Wendel and Mercer were party, which entitled Messrs. Mercer and Wendel to certain proceeds from Volta upon the completion by Volta of a strategic transaction (the “Volta Management Carveout Plan”). Following further discussion regarding these issues, TortoiseCorp and Volta agreed that it would be in the best interests of the combined company if Volta terminated at the Closing the existing Volta Management Carveout Plan to remove that agreement as an over-hang on the combined company. Representatives of TortoiseCorp proposed that if Messrs. Wendel and Mercer would agree to terminate the Volta Management Carveout Plan at Closing, TortoiseCorp would agree to issue at Closing to Messrs. Wendel and Mercer equity under a restricted stock award in an amount and upon vesting terms mutually acceptable to the parties.

On January27, 2021, Orrick distributed to Vinson & Elkins Volta’s initial comments to the Business Combination Agreement.

On January29, 2021, TortoiseCorp management updated the TortoiseCorp Board regarding the status of the potential business combination. During the meeting, TortoiseCorp management provided an overview of the issues raised by Volta in its revised draft of the Business Combination Agreement, reviewed the status of the diligence work being conducted by management and TortoiseCorp’s advisors and industry consultants and discussed the recent negotiations between Mr.Cubbage and Volta and its representatives regarding a potential increase to the pre-money

139

valuation of Volta. TortoiseCorp management also updated the TortoiseCorp Board regarding the proposed arrangement to issue additional restricted equity to Messrs. Mercer and Wendel subject to the termination of the Volta Management Carveout Plan upon closing of the Business Combination.

That same day, TortoiseCorp’s management met by teleconference with Vinson & Elkins to discuss Volta’s comments to the draft Business Combination Agreement.

Throughout the period of January30, 2021 through February6, 2021, TortoiseCorp and Volta and their respective legal advisors held various teleconferences and exchanged several drafts of the Business Combination Agreement to resolve open issues, which focused principally on: (a) identifying a group of Historical Rollover Shareholders that would enter into the Stockholder Support Agreement under which the Written Consent Parties would agree to vote all of their shares of Volta Common Stock and Volta Preferred Stock in favor of the approval and adoption of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination; (b) the inclusion of an express ability of the boards of directors of TortoiseCorp and Volta to change their recommendations to their respective shareholders regarding approval of the Business Combination; (c) whether to compute the number of shares of the combined company available to be issued to the Historical Rollover Shareholders using the treasury share method when taking into account outstanding, in-the-money, options and warrants of Volta; (d) Volta’s operating covenants between signing and Closing; (e) the terms and conditions of the Founder Plan to be adopted in exchange for termination of the Volta Management Carveout Plan; (f) the circumstances under which high-vote shares of the combined company issued to certain Historical Rollover Shareholders (consisting principally of Messrs. Mercer and Wendel) in the Business Combination will convert into low-vote shares; (g) the composition of the New Volta Board; (h) whether loans made by the Sponsor to TortoiseCorp for expenses would convert at Closing into equity of New Volta; (i) certain termination rights including the right of TortoiseCorp to terminate the Business Combination Agreement should Volta fail to deliver its audited financial statements by an agreed-upon date; and (j) certain representations and warranties and closing conditions.

On January31, 2021, Vinson & Elkins delivered to Orrick initial drafts of (a) the A&R Registration Rights Agreement under which certain Historical Rollover Shareholders would be granted registration rights similar to the registration rights granted to the Sponsor (and certain related parties) in connection with the IPO, (b) the Stockholder Support Agreement and (c) Lock-Up Agreements under which Messrs. Mercer and Wendel would agree not to transfer, subject to certain customary exceptions, the shares of the combined company issued to them in the Business Combination until the expiration of the lock-up period applicable to the Founder Shares.

On that same day, Mr.Cubbage had a teleconference with Messrs. Mercer and Wendel to discuss the terms of the Founder Plan and other incentive compensation awards to each of them, along with the vesting provisions thereof. During such teleconference, the parties tentatively agreed that the Founder Plan would provide an incentive award to each of Mr.Mercer and Mr.Wendel equal to approximately 2% of the combined company’s shares (on a fully diluted basis) after giving effect to the Closing of the Business Combination, subject to certain continued service requirements.

On February1, 2021, Mr.Wendel sent to TortoiseCorp a proposal for an omnibus incentive compensation plan to be adopted by the combined company, setting out customary terms and conditions for incentive compensation awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock or units or other equity rights to the officers, directors, employees and other eligible plan participants in the amount of up to ten percent of the fully diluted capital of the combined company at Closing. On that same day, the Placement Agents reported to TortoiseCorp and Volta on the current indications of interest from potential investors in the Private Placement Financing.

Also on February1, 2021, Volta delivered to TortoiseCorp an initial draft of its disclosure schedules to the Business Combination Agreement. Throughout the remainder of the week, Volta and TortoiseCorp and their legal advisors exchanged revised drafts of such disclosure schedules.

On February3, 2021, TortoiseCorp management held a meeting with the TortoiseCorp Board, during which Mr.Schnitzer reviewed the transaction agreements to be entered into by the parties in connection with the Business Combination and the TortoiseCorp Board reviewed the results of diligence by TortoiseCorp’s management, advisors and industry consultants.

140

Also on February3, 2021, senior members of management of Volta and TortoiseCorp together with representatives of Vinson & Elkins and Orrick held a teleconference to review a wide range of due diligence matters relating to Volta.

On that same day, representatives of the Placement Agents reported to Volta and TortoiseCorp the final indications of interest from potential investors in the Private Placement Financing, and Volta and TortoiseCorp agreed to increase the Private Placement Financing to $300million (or 30,000,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock).

On February4, 2021, TortoiseCorp reached substantial agreement with interested investors on the terms and conditions of the Subscription Agreements. On that same day, TortoiseCorp management held a meeting with the TortoiseCorp Board, which representatives of Vinson & Elkins and Barclays attended. Vinson & Elkins reported on the results of its due diligence investigation of Volta and reviewed the material terms of the Business Combination Agreement (including the dual-class capital structure of the combined company) and the other transaction agreements, including the Stockholder Support Agreement, the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, the Lock-Up Agreement, the Subscription Agreements and the Sponsor Letter to be entered into by the Sponsor and the Company’s independent directors under which they would agree, among other things, to vote their shares of the Company in favor of the Business Combination. During this meeting, Mr.Cubbage also reported on the terms and conditions of equity awards to Messrs. Mercer and Wendel including under the Founder Plan. At such meeting, Barclays reviewed the financial projections of Volta and the sources and uses of capital, and presented its valuation analysis of Volta based on benchmarking of various peer companies including the estimated valuation implications of recently completed comparable transactions. Barclays also reviewed the Private Placement Financing marketing process and advised that indications of interest from interested investors far exceeded the amount of capital TortoiseCorp and Volta had proposed to raise in the Private Placement Financing.

Also on February4, 2021, Mr.Cubbage had a teleconference with Mr.Wendel to discuss the size of the 2021 Plan and certain other terms and conditions of the plan proposed by Volta, including an annual evergreen provision that would automatically replenish the plan by five percent of the shares outstanding at the end of the applicable year.

On February4, 2021, the Volta Board, at an executive session held via video conference, unanimously approved the Business Combination Agreement, the other transaction documents (in each case in substantially final forms), the Business Combination and all related transactions.

On February5, 2021, TortoiseCorp and Volta reached substantial agreement on the most recent draft of the Business Combination Agreement and the other transaction documents. At a meeting of the TortoiseCorp Board held on that same day, representatives of Vinson & Elkins reviewed the principal terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the other transaction documents as well as the fiduciary duties of the TortoiseCorp Board and the board and shareholder approvals required to approve the Business Combination and related transactions. Mr.Cubbage and other members of management updated the TortoiseCorp Board regarding recent changes regarding the terms and conditions of the Business Combination and related transactions, and Mr.Cubbage provided an overview of the overall rationale for the Business Combination and the benefits of the proposed transaction to TortoiseCorp’s shareholders. Vinson & Elkins also reviewed a draft of unanimous written consent resolutions proposed to be adopted by the TortoiseCorp Board to approve the Business Combination, the Business Combination Agreement and the related transaction agreements. At such meeting, the TortoiseCorp Board unanimously expressed support for the Business Combination with Volta.

On that same day, the Placement Agents posted the final Business Combination Agreement and an updated investor presentation to the Private Placement Financing virtual data room. The documents posted to the data room reflected, among other things, changes in the pro forma capitalization table resulting from the equity awards to be granted under the Founder Plan and certain other incentive equity awards.

Late in the evening of February5, 2021, Mr.Schnitzer delivered a communication to the TortoiseCorp Board regarding final changes to be agreed to by the parties in certain of the transaction documents, including the disclosure schedules and the Proposed Organizational Documents to govern the combined company upon the Closing.

141

On February6, 2021, representatives of Volta and TortoiseCorp held several telephone conferences to finalize the terms and conditions of the equity compensation awards to Messrs. Mercer and Wendel under the 2021 Plan as well as the terms and conditions of the Founder Plan. Throughout that day, Vinson & Elkins and Orrick exchanged final drafts of Volta’s disclosure schedules as well as the Proposed Organizational Documents.

On February7, 2021, the TortoiseCorp Board unanimously approved the Business Combination Agreement.

On February7, 2021, TortoiseCorp and Volta entered into the Business Combination Agreement and the related transaction agreements. TortoiseCorp also entered into Subscription Agreements with the New Private Placement Investors for the purchase of $300million of New Volta Class A Common Stock in connection with the Private Placement Financing.

Before the market opened on February8, 2021, TortoiseCorp and Volta announced in a joint press release the Business Combination and the $300million Private Placement Financing together with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement.

The TortoiseCorp Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

The TortoiseCorp Board considered a wide variety of factors in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination. In light of the complexity of those factors, the TortoiseCorp Board, as a whole, did not consider it practicable to, nor did it attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it took into account in reaching its decision. The TortoiseCorp Board viewed its decision as being based on all of the information available and the factors presented to and considered by it. In addition, individual members of the TortoiseCorp Board may have given different weight to different factors. This explanation of the reasons for the TortoiseCorp Board’s approval of the Business Combination, and all other information presented in this section, is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed in the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Before reaching its decision, the TortoiseCorp Board reviewed the results of the due diligence conducted by TortoiseCorp’s management and TortoiseCorp’s advisors and consultants, which included:

•        meetings and calls with Volta’s management regarding its business model, operations and forecasts;

•        a legal due diligence review conducted by Vinson & Elkins which included, among other things, a review of material contracts, intellectual property matters and other legal matters and documents posted to a virtual data room, conference calls with Volta and its attorneys and certain public record searches regarding Volta;

•        a tax due diligence review conducted by WithumSmith+Brown, PC;

•        comparisons to select public companies in the same business sector as Volta, including EV charging companies such as ChargePoint, EVBox, EVgo and Blink Charging (collectively the “Comparable EV Charging Companies”); EV technology companies including, Tesla; and clean energy technology companies, including Enphase Energy Inc., SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. and Array Technologies, Inc. (collectively the “Comparable Clean Energy Technology Companies” and, together with the Comparable EV Charging Companies and Tesla, the “Comparable Companies”);

•        review of analysis prepared by, and discussions with, TortoiseCorp’s advisors and consultants;

•        consultation with legal and financial advisors, industry experts and regulatory agencies;

•        financial and valuation analysis of Volta and the Business Combination; and

•        review of the financial statements of Volta.

In approving the Business Combination, the TortoiseCorp Board determined not to obtain a fairness opinion. The officers and directors of TortoiseCorp have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies from a wide range of industries and concluded that their experience and background, together with the experience and sector expertise of TortoiseCorp’s Financial Advisor and Industry Consultants, enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the Business Combination.

142

The factors considered by the TortoiseCorp Board included, but were not limited to, the following:

•        Market Opportunity.    The TortoiseCorp Board noted the increasing demand for and adoption of EVs, as well as the significant decline in the projected battery cost curve. The TortoiseCorp Board determined that Volta has an opportunity to capitalize on the burgeoning EV charging station market.

•        Volta’s Commerce-Driven Business Model.    The TortoiseCorp Board considered Volta’s commerce-driven business model. Volta’s charging network is the only network designed to increase traffic to and user spending at site partners.

•        Volta’s Strong Customer Demand.    The TortoiseCorp Board considered the national real estate footprint and portfolio of long-term contracts that Volta has with leading grocery store chains and real estate investment trusts including Giant Food, Albertsons Companies, Kroger and Brookfield Properties.

•        Volta’s Revenue Diversity and Unit Economics.    The TortoiseCorp Board considered Volta’s multiple revenue streams and the expectation that Volta’s charging stations will grow in value as its network scales due to the impact of network effects.

•        Volta’s Scale and Market Share.    The TortoiseCorp Board noted that Volta has a proprietary data-driven planning tool, PredictEVTM that utilizes machine-learning to predict the current and future need for charging services, which allows Volta to maximize the efficiency and impact of new locations for its charging network.

•        Financial Condition.    The TortoiseCorp Board also considered factors such as Volta’s outlook, development and financial plan, as well as valuations and trading of publicly traded companies and valuations of precedent combinations and combination targets in similar and adjacent sectors and the fact that after consummation of the Business Combination (and assuming no redemptions), Volta would have enough cash on hand to fund the planned expansion of its charging infrastructure through 2025.

•        Operating History and Management Team.    The TortoiseCorp Board considered the fact that Volta has a ten-year operating history, which has enabled it to build a strong management team that is expected to remain with the post-combination company and continue to seek to execute Volta’s strategy.

•        Terms of the Business Combination Agreement.    The TortoiseCorp Board reviewed the financial and other terms of the Business Combination Agreement and determined that they were the product of arm’s-length negotiations among the parties.

•        Independent Director Role.    TortoiseCorp’s independent directors took an active role in guiding TortoiseCorp management as TortoiseCorp evaluated and negotiated the proposed terms of the Business Combination. Following an active and detailed evaluation, the TortoiseCorp Board’s independent directors unanimously approved, as members of the TortoiseCorp Board, the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination.

In addition, the TortoiseCorp Board determined that the Business Combination satisfies the investment criteria that the TortoiseCorp Board identified in connection with the IPO. For more information, see the subsection entitled “The Business Combination — Background of the Business Combination.”

In the course of its deliberations, the TortoiseCorp Board also considered a variety of uncertainties, risks and other potentially negative factors relevant to the Business Combination, including the following:

•        Early Stage Company Risk.    That Volta is an early stage company with a history of losses, and that Volta will incur significant expenses and continuing losses for the near term.

•        Growth Risk.    That Volta needs to continue to aggressively expand its team and geographic footprint and build scalable and robust processes to achieve its projected growth, and the risk that Volta may fail to do so or achieve or sustain profitability.

•        Competitive Risk.    That Volta currently faces competition from a number of companies and expects to face significant competition in the future as the market for EV charging develops.

143

•        Supplier and Manufacturer Risk.    That Volta relies on a limited number of suppliers and manufacturers for its charging stations.

•        Public Company Risk.    The risks that are associated with being a publicly traded company that is in its early, developmental stage.

•        Benefits May Not Be Achieved Risk.    The risk that the potential benefits of the Business Combination may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe.

•        Redemption Risk.    The risk that a significant number of TortoiseCorp’s shareholders elect to redeem their shares in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, which would reduce the amount of cash available to the post-combination company to fund its business plan following the Closing.

•        Shareholder Vote Risk.    The risk that TortoiseCorp’s shareholders may fail to provide the votes necessary to approve the Business Combination.

•        Litigation Risk.    The risk of potential litigation challenging the Business Combination or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin consummation of the Business Combination.

•        Closing Conditions Risk.    The risk that completion of the Business Combination is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions that are not within TortoiseCorp’s control.

•        No Third-Party Valuation Risk.    That TortoiseCorp did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with the Business Combination.

•        Fees, Expenses and Time Risk.    The risk of incurring significant fees and expenses associated with completing the Business Combination and the substantial time and effort of Volta management and TortoiseCorp management required to complete the Business Combination.

•        Other Risks.    Various other risk factors associated with Volta’s business, as described in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

In addition to considering the factors described above, the TortoiseCorp Board also considered that the officers and directors of TortoiseCorp have interests in the Business Combination as individuals that are in addition to, and that may be different from, the interests of TortoiseCorp’s shareholders. TortoiseCorp’s independent directors reviewed and considered these interests during the negotiation of the Business Combination and in evaluating and unanimously approving, as members of the TortoiseCorp Board, the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination. For more information, see the subsection entitled “— Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination.”

The TortoiseCorp Board concluded that the potential benefits that it expects TortoiseCorp and its shareholders to achieve as a result of the Business Combination outweigh the potentially negative factors associated with the Business Combination. Accordingly, the TortoiseCorp Board, based on its consideration of the specific factors listed above, unanimously (a) determined that the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are in the best interests of TortoiseCorp’s shareholders, (b) approved, adopted and declared advisable the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and (c) recommended that the shareholders of TortoiseCorp approve each of the Proposals.

The above discussion of the material factors considered by the TortoiseCorp Board is not intended to be exhaustive but does set forth the principal factors considered by the TortoiseCorp Board.

144

Unaudited Prospective Financial Information

Volta does not, as a matter of general practice, develop or publicly disclose long-term forecasts of its future financial performance. However, Volta established targets relating to its consolidated results of operations and its business in connection with the proposed Business Combination, including internally prepared forecasts for each of the fiscal years ending December31, 2020 through 2025, and supplied them to its board of directors and to TortoiseCorp. In connection with the proposed Business Combination, TortoiseCorp management used the financial projections set forth below as part of its comprehensive analysis and presented key elements of the forecasts to the TortoiseCorp Board as part of the TortoiseCorp Board’s review and subsequent approval of the Business Combination.

Volta prepared these financial projections solely for internal use and not with a view toward public disclosure or toward complying with U.S. GAAP, the published guidelines of the SEC regarding projections or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information. The inclusion of financial projections in this proxy statement/prospectus should not be regarded as an indication that TortoiseCorp, Volta, their respective directors, officers, advisors or other representatives considered, or now considers, such financial projections necessarily to be predictive of actual future results or to support or fail to support your decision whether to vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal. No person has made or makes any representation or warranty to any TortoiseCorp shareholder regarding the information included in these financial projections. The financial forecasts are not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results, and readers of this proxy statement/prospectus are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information. The projections should not be viewed as public guidance and you are cautioned not to rely on the projections in making a decision regarding the Business Combination, as the projections may be materially different than actual results. Volta will not refer back to the financial projections in its future periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act.

Furthermore, the financial projections do not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the date they were prepared. None of Volta’s independent registered public accounting firm, TortoiseCorp’s independent registered public accounting firm nor any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the financial projections, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and they assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the financial projections. Nonetheless, a summary of the projections is provided in this proxy statement/prospectus only because the projections were made available to TortoiseCorp and the TortoiseCorp Board in connection with their review of the proposed Business Combination.

These financial projections reflect numerous estimates and assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, regulatory, market and financial conditions and other future events, as well as matters specific to Volta’s business, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond Volta’s control. As a result, there can be no assurance that the projected results will be realized or that actual results will be as projected. Since the projections cover multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less predictive with each successive year. These financial projections are subjective in many respects and thus are susceptible to multiple interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments. As such, these financial projections constitute forward-looking information and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including the various risks set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this proxy statement/prospectus.

EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS, BY INCLUDING IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS A SUMMARY OF VOLTA’S INTERNAL FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS, TORTOISECORP UNDERTAKES NO OBLIGATIONS AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY TO UPDATE OR REVISE, OR PUBLICLY DISCLOSE ANY UPDATE OR REVISION TO, THESE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS TO REFLECT CIRCUMSTANCES OR EVENTS, INCLUDING UNANTICIPATED EVENTS, THAT MAY HAVE OCCURRED OR THAT MAY OCCUR AFTER THE PREPARATION OF THESE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS AND THEIR PRESENTATION TO THE TORTOISECORP BOARD, EVEN IN THE EVENT THAT ANY OR ALL OF THE ASSUMPTIONS UNDERLYING THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS ARE SHOWN TO BE IN ERROR OR CHANGE.

The unaudited prospective financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus has been prepared by, and is the responsibility of, Volta. Neither Grant Thornton LLP, Volta’s independent registered public accounting firm, nor WithumSmith+Brown, PC, TortoiseCorp’s independent registered public accounting firm, has audited, reviewed, examined, compiled or applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to the accompanying unaudited

145

prospective financial information and, accordingly, neither Grant Thornton LLP nor WithumSmith+Brown, PC express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. The Grant Thornton LLP report included in this proxy statement/prospectus relates to Volta’s previously issued financial statements. It does not extend to the unaudited prospective financial information and should not be read to do so.

Key Financial Metrics:

The projections set out below assume the consummation of the Business Combination. As described above, Volta’s ability to achieve these projections will depend upon a number of factors outside of its control. These factors include significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. Volta developed these projections based upon assumptions with respect to future business decisions and conditions that are subject to change, including Volta’s execution of its strategies and product development, as well as growth in the markets in which it currently operates and proposes to operate. As a result, Volta’s actual results may materially vary from the projections set out below. See also “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and the risk factors set out in “Risk Factors.”

The key elements of the projections provided by TortoiseCorp management to the TortoiseCorp Board are as follows:

	Fiscal Year Ending December 31,
	2021E			2022E			2023E			2024E			2025E
	(in millions)
Total Revenue	$	47		$	141		$	280		$	492		$	826
Gross Profit		19			66			135			242			436
Total Operating Expenses		(59	)		(92	)		(149	)		(211	)		(303	)
EBITDA		(30	)		(1	)		33			109			252

Projected revenue is based on Volta booking revenue in its content, network development and data business, scaling with accelerating deployment of its station network. Network effects are driven by completion of national coverage of key media markets, growing EV penetration and full build out of its technological capabilities. Projected gross profit is driven by economies of scale in the sale of media content, maturation of the charge-for-charge effort and robust build out of the data product. “EBITDA,” a non-GAAP measure, which includes future income derived from structured financings such as tax equity. Volta believes that this is a good measure of the health of the cash generating capabilities of its network over time.

The Volta projections that were reviewed and considered by the TortoiseCorp Board were prepared including certain tax equity programs as revenue and before Volta voluntarily adopted accounting standards for the treatment of leases under ASC 842. As a result, the above projections do not give effect to the current accounting policies and procedures under ASC 842 and associated tax incentive financing programs. See the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Volta” and the financial statements of Volta included herein for additional information.

Satisfaction of 80% Test

It is a requirement under the Existing Organizational Documents and the NYSE listing requirements that the business or assets acquired in an Initial Business Combination have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes and excluding the deferred underwriting discounts and commissions) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for an Initial Business Combination. In connection with its evaluation and approval of the Business Combination, the TortoiseCorp Board determined that the fair market value of Volta exceeded $1.4billion based on, among other things, comparable company EBITDA multiples and revenue multiples.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination

Interests of Sponsor and TortoiseCorp Directors and Officers

In considering the recommendation of the TortoiseCorp Board to vote in favor of the Business Combination, shareholders should be aware that, aside from their interests as shareholders, our Sponsor and certain of our directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those

146

of other shareholders generally. Our directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the Business Combination, and in recommending to shareholders that they approve the Business Combination. Shareholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination. These interests include, among other things:

•        the fact that an affiliate of our Sponsor holds 5,933,333 private placement warrants that would expire worthless if an Initial Business Combination is not consummated;

•        the fact that our Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed not to redeem any Class A Ordinary Shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve the Business Combination;

•        the fact that our Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for the Founder Shares, including 105,000 Founder Shares which were subsequently transferred to our independent directors, and that such securities will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination, which if unrestricted and freely tradable would be valued at approximately $            , based on the closing price of our Class A Ordinary Shares of $             per share on             , 2021;

•        if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event we are unable to complete an Initial Business Combination within the required time period, our Sponsor has agreed to indemnify us to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 per public share, or such lesser amount per public share as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of (a) any third party (other than our independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to us or (b) a prospective target business with which we have entered into a letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, but only if such a third party or target business has not executed a waiver of all rights to seek access to the Trust Account;

•        the anticipated continuation of Vincent T. Cubbage as a director after the Business Combination;

•        the fact that our independent directors own an aggregate of 105,000 Founder Shares that were transferred from our Sponsor, which if unrestricted and freely tradeable would be valued at approximately $            , based on the closing price of our Class A Ordinary Shares of $             per share on             , 2021;

•        the fact that our Sponsor, officers and directors will be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations; and

•        the fact that our Sponsor, officers and directors will lose their entire investment in us if an Initial Business Combination is not completed.

Potential Purchases of Public Shares

In connection with the shareholder vote to approve the Business Combination, our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates may privately negotiate transactions to purchase public shares from shareholders who would have otherwise elected to have their shares redeemed in conjunction with the Business Combination for a per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. There is no limit on the number of public shares our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates may purchase in such transactions, subject to compliance with applicable law and the rules of the NYSE. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are in excess of the per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. However, our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors and their respective affiliates have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds in the Trust Account will be used to purchase public shares in such transactions. None of our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates will make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller of such public shares or during a restricted period under Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Such a purchase could include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record holder of such public shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights, and could include a contractual provision that directs such shareholder to vote such shares in a manner directed by the purchaser.

147

In the event that our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates purchase public shares in privately negotiated transactions from public shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares.

The purpose of any such purchases of public shares could be to (a) vote such shares in favor of the Business Combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of the Business Combination or (b) to satisfy a closing condition in the Business Combination Agreement, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. Any such purchases of our public shares may result in the completion of the Business Combination that may not otherwise have been possible. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent the purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements.

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our Class A Ordinary Shares may be reduced and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, which may make it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.

Our Sponsor, officers, directors, advisors or any of their respective affiliates anticipate that they may identify the shareholders with whom our Sponsor, officers, directors, advisors or any of their respective affiliates may pursue privately negotiated purchases by either the shareholders contacting us directly or by our receipt of redemption requests submitted by shareholders following our mailing of proxy materials in connection with the Business Combination. To the extent that our Sponsor, officers, directors, advisors or any of their respective affiliates enter into a privately negotiated purchase, they would identify and contact only potential selling shareholders who have expressed their election to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account or vote against the Business Combination, whether or not such shareholder has already submitted a proxy with respect to the Business Combination but only if such shares have not already been voted at the extraordinary general meeting related to the Business Combination. Our Sponsor, officers, directors, advisors or any of their respective affiliates will select which shareholders to purchase shares from based on the negotiated price and number of shares and any other factors that they may deem relevant, and will only purchase public shares if such purchases comply with Regulation M under the Exchange Act and the other federal securities laws.

Any purchases by our Sponsor, officers, directors, advisors or any of their respective affiliates who are affiliated purchasers under Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act will only be made to the extent such purchases are able to be made in compliance with Rule 10b-18, which is a safe harbor from liability for manipulation under Section 9(a)(2) of and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act. Rule 10b-18 has certain technical requirements that must be complied with in order for the safe harbor to be available to the purchaser. Our Sponsor, officers, directors, advisors and any of their respective affiliates will not make purchases of Class A Ordinary Shares if the purchases would violate Section 9(a)(2) of or Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act.

Total Company Shares to Be Issued in the Business Combination

We anticipate that, upon completion of the Business Combination, the ownership of New Volta will be as follows:

•        the Historical Rollover Shareholders other than Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will own 88,728,871shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 50.9% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock, and 1,907,872shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, or approximately 16.7% of the outstanding New Volta Class B Common Stock;

•        the public shareholders will own 34,500,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 19.8% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        the New Private Placement Investors will own 30,000,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 17.2% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        the initial shareholders will own 8,625,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 4.9% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock; and

148

•        Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel, together with their affiliated entities, will collectively own 12,511,405shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 7.2% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock, and 9,524,027shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, or 83.3% of the outstanding New Volta Class B Common Stock and, assuming that the New Volta Class B Common Stock is not converted into Class A Common Stock, immediately following the completion of the Business Combination, taking into account all of their New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Class B Common Stock, Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will collectively control approximately 37.3% of the voting power of the capital stock of New Volta on a fully-diluted basis.

The number of shares and the interests set forth above (a) assume (i) that no public shareholders elect to have their public shares redeemed, (ii) that there are no other issuances of equity interests of TortoiseCorp or Volta and no repurchases of Volta Restricted Stock, (iii) none of TortoiseCorp’s initial shareholders or the Historical Rollover Shareholders purchase Class A Ordinary Shares in the open market and (iv) that there are no exercises of Volta Options or Volta Warrants and (b) do not take into account TortoiseCorp Warrants that will remain outstanding following the Business Combination and may be exercised at a later date. As a result of the Business Combination, the economic and voting interests of our public shareholders will decrease. If we assume the maximum redemptions scenario described under the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information — Note 1 — Basis of Presentation,” i.e., 34,500,000 public shares are redeemed, and the assumptions set forth in the foregoing clauses (a)(ii)–(iv) and (b) remain true, the ownership of New Volta upon completion of the Business Combination will be as follows:

•        the Historical Rollover Shareholders other than Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will own 88,728,871shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 63.4% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock, and 1,907,872shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, or approximately 16.7% of the outstanding New Volta Class B Common Stock;

•        the public shareholders will not own any shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        the New Private Placement Investors will own 30,000,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 21.4% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        the initial shareholders will own 8,625,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 6.2% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock; and

•        Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel, together with their affiliated entities, will collectively own 12,511,405shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 8.9% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock, and 9,524,027shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, or 83.3% of the outstanding New Volta Class B Common Stock and, assuming that the New Volta Class B Common Stock is not converted into Class A Common Stock, immediately following the completion of the Business Combination, taking into account all of their New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Class B Common Stock, Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will collectively control approximately 42.4% of the voting power of the capital stock of New Volta on a fully-diluted basis.

The ownership percentages with respect to New Volta set forth above do not take into account TortoiseCorp Warrants that will remain outstanding immediately following the Business Combination, but do include the Founder Shares, which will convert into New Volta Class A Common Stock upon an Initial Business Combination. If the facts are different than these assumptions, the percentage ownership retained by TortoiseCorp’s existing shareholders in New Volta following the Business Combination will be different. For example, if we assume that all outstanding 8,625,000 public warrants and 5,933,333 private placement warrants were exercisable and exercised following completion of the Business Combination and further assume that no public shareholders elect to have their public shares redeemed (and each other assumption set forth in the preceding paragraph remains the same), then the ownership of New Volta would be as follows:

•        the Historical Rollover Shareholders other than Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will own 88,728,871shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 47.0% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock, and 1,907,872shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, or approximately 16.7% of the outstanding New Volta Class B Common Stock;

149

•        the public shareholders will own 43,125,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 22.8% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        the New Private Placement Investors will own 30,000,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 15.9% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        the initial shareholders will own 14,558,333shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 7.7% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock; and

•        Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel, together with their affiliated entities, will collectively own 12,511,405shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 6.6% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock, and 9,524,027shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, or 83.3% of the outstanding New Volta Class B Common Stock and, assuming that the New Volta Class B Common Stock is not converted into Class A Common Stock, immediately following the completion of the Business Combination, taking into account all of their New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Class B Common Stock, Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will collectively control approximately 35.5% of the voting power of the capital stock of New Volta on a fully-diluted basis.

The TortoiseCorp Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination (or any other Initial Business Combination) and (b) 12months from the closing of our IPO and will expire five years after the completion of an Initial Business Combination or earlier upon their redemption or liquidation.

Additionally, if we (a) assume (i) that no public shareholders elect to have their public shares redeemed, (ii) that there are no other issuances of equity interests of TortoiseCorp or Volta and no repurchases of Volta Restricted Stock, (iii) none of TortoiseCorp’s initial shareholders or the Historical Rollover Shareholders purchase Class A Ordinary Shares in the open market, (iv) the issuance of all 20,712,774shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock that will be reserved in respect of New Volta Options issued in exchange for outstanding pre-merger Volta Options and in respect of New Volta Warrants issued in exchange for outstanding pre-merger Volta Warrants and (v) the issuance of all 134,993shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock that will be reserved in respect of New Volta Options issued in exchange for outstanding pre-merger Volta Options and (b) do not take into account TortoiseCorp Warrants that will remain outstanding following the Business Combination and may be exercised at a later date, then the ownership of New Volta would be as follows:

•        the Historical Rollover Shareholders other than Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will own 108,936,646shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 55.8% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock, and 1,907,872shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, or approximately 16.5% of the outstanding New Volta Class B Common Stock;

•        the public shareholders will own 34,500,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 17.7% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        the New Private Placement Investors will own 30,000,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 15.4% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        the initial shareholders will own 8,625,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 4.4% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock; and

•        Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel, together with their affiliated entities, will collectively own 13,016,404shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, or approximately 6.7% of the outstanding New Volta Class A Common Stock, and 9,659,020shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, or 83.5% of the outstanding New Volta Class B Common Stock and, assuming that the New Volta Class B Common Stock is not converted into Class A Common Stock, immediately following the completion of the Business Combination, taking into account all of their New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Class B Common Stock, Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will collectively control approximately 35.3% of the voting power of the capital stock of New Volta on a fully-diluted basis.

Board of Directors of New Volta Following the Business Combination

Assuming the Director Election Proposal is approved by our shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting, we expect the New Volta Board to be comprised of the individuals set forth below effective immediately after the Effective Time.

Name	Age	Position
Scott Mercer	35	Chief Executive Officer
Christopher Wendel	54	President, Director
Eli Aheto	45	Director
Vincent T. Cubbage	56	Director
Martin Lauber	52	Director
Katherine J. Savitt	57	Director
Bonita C. Stewart	63	Director
John J. Tough	35	Director

Redemption Rights

Under our Existing Organizational Documents, holders of public shares may elect to have their shares redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share calculated in accordance with our Existing Organizational Documents. As of December31, 2020, this would have amounted to $10.00 per share. If a holder exercises its redemption rights, then such holder will be exchanging its shares of our Class A Ordinary Shares for cash and will no longer own shares of TortoiseCorp. Such a holder will be entitled to receive cash for its public shares only if it properly demands redemption and delivers its shares (either physically or electronically) to our transfer agent in accordance with the procedures described herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of the public shares, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights in excess of the 20% threshold. Accordingly, all public shares in excess of the 20% threshold beneficially owned by a public shareholder or group will not be redeemed for cash. In order to determine whether a shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with any other shareholder, TortoiseCorp will require each public shareholder seeking to exercise redemption rights to certify to TortoiseCorp whether such shareholder is acting in concert or as a group with any other shareholder. Each redemption of Class A Ordinary Shares by our public shareholders will decrease the amount in our Trust Account. In no event will we redeem public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. See the subsection entitled “Extraordinary General Meeting — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your shares for cash.

Appraisal Rights

Appraisal Rights of TortoiseCorp Shareholders

There are no appraisal rights available to holders of Class A Ordinary Shares, Class B Ordinary Shares or TortoiseCorp Warrants in connection with the Business Combination or Domestication under Cayman Islands law or the DGCL.

Expected Accounting Treatment

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization under U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, TortoiseCorp will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination is primarily based on Volta stockholders comprising a relative majority of the voting power of New Volta and having the ability to nominate the members of the New Volta Board, Volta’s operations prior to the acquisition comprising the only ongoing operations of New Volta and Volta’s senior management comprising a majority of the senior management of New Volta. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of the post-combination company will represent a continuation of the financial statements of Volta with the Business Combination treated as the equivalent of Volta issuing stock for the net assets of TortoiseCorp, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of TortoiseCorp will be stated at historical costs, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be presented as those of Volta in future reports of New Volta.

151

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations for Holders (as defined below) of Class A Ordinary Shares and TortoiseCorp Warrants (collectively, “TortoiseCorp Public Securities”) immediately prior to the Business Combination with respect to (i) the Domestication, (ii) electing to have their New Volta Class A Common Stock redeemed for cash if the Business Combination is completed and (iii) the ownership and disposition of New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Warrants (collectively, “New Volta Securities”) following the Business Combination. Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference in this section of this proxy statement/prospectus to “we,” “us” or “our” refers to TortoiseCorp prior to the Business Combination and to New Volta and its subsidiaries following the Business Combination. For purposes of this discussion, a “Holder” is a beneficial owner of TortoiseCorp Public Securities immediately prior to the Business Combination or, as a result of owning such TortoiseCorp Public Securities, of New Volta Securities immediately following the Business Combination. Although not entirely clear, we intend to treat a Holder of a TortoiseCorp Unit or New Volta Unit (each consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share and a partial TortoiseCorp Warrant or one share of New Volta Class A Common Stock and a partial New Volta Warrant, as applicable) as the owner of the underlying TortoiseCorp Public Securities or New Volta Securities, as applicable, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Assuming such treatment is appropriate, the discussion below with respect to Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares, TortoiseCorp Warrants, shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Warrants should also apply to Holders of TortoiseCorp Units and New Volta Units, as applicable (as the deemed owners of the underlying TortoiseCorp Public Securities and New Volta Securities that constitute the TortoiseCorp Units and New Volta Units, as applicable).

This discussion applies only to TortoiseCorp Public Securities and New Volta Securities, as the case may be, that are held as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, property held for investment). This discussion is based on the provisions of the Code, U.S. Treasury regulations, administrative rules, and judicial decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly with retroactive effect. Any such change or differing interpretation could significantly alter the tax considerations described herein. TortoiseCorp has not sought any rulings from the IRS with respect to the statements made and the positions or conclusions described in this summary. Such statements, positions and conclusions are not free from doubt, and there can be no assurance that your tax advisor, the IRS or a court will agree with such statements, positions and conclusions.

The following discussion does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects resulting from the completion of the Business Combination and does not address the tax treatment of any other transactions occurring in connection with the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, the issuance of Class A Ordinary Shares in the Private Placements. In addition, this summary does not address the Medicare tax on certain investment income, U.S. federal estate or gift tax laws, any U.S. state, local, or non-U.S. tax laws, any tax treaties or other tax law other than U.S. federal income tax law. Furthermore, this discussion does not address all U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to particular Holders in light of their personal circumstances or that may be relevant to certain categories of investors that may be subject to special rules, such as:

•        banks, insurance companies, or other financial institutions;

•        tax-exempt or governmental organizations;

•        “qualified foreign pension funds” as defined in Section 897(l)(2) of the Code (or any entities all of the interests of which are held by a qualified foreign pension fund);

•        dealers in securities or foreign currencies;

•        U.S. Holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

•        traders in securities that use the mark-to-market method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

•        “controlled foreign corporations,” “passive foreign investment companies,” and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;

•        entities or arrangements treated as partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or holders of interests therein;

152

•        persons deemed to sell TortoiseCorp Public Securities or New Volta Securities under the constructive sale provisions of the Code;

•        persons that acquired TortoiseCorp Public Securities or New Volta Securities through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation or through a tax-qualified retirement plan;

•        except as specifically provided below, persons that actually or constructively own five percent or more (by vote or value) of any class of Ordinary Shares or New Volta Common Stock;

•        persons that hold TortoiseCorp Public Securities or New Volta Securities as part of a straddle, appreciated financial position, synthetic security, hedge, conversion transaction, or other integrated investment or risk reduction transaction;

•        certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;

•        holders of Founder Shares and private placement warrants; and

•        the initial shareholders, our Sponsor, and TortoiseCorp’s or New Volta’s officers or directors.

INVESTORS ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONSULT WITH, AND RELY SOLELY UPON, THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS (INCLUDING ANY POTENTIAL FUTURE CHANGES THERETO) TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS, AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER ANY OTHER TAX LAWS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX LAWS OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY U.S. STATE, LOCAL, NON-U.S. OR OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE INCOME TAX TREATY.

U.S. Holder and Non-U.S. Holder Defined

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a Holder that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is:

•        an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, including an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more during a taxable year;

•        a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;

•        an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

•        a trust (i) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and which has one or more “United States persons” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) that has made a valid election under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

A “Non-U.S. Holder” is a Holder that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, an individual, corporation, estate or trust and that is not a U.S. Holder.

If a partnership (including an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds TortoiseCorp Units, New Volta Units, TortoiseCorp Public Securities or New Volta Securities, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership generally might depend upon the status of the partner, upon the activities of the partnership and upon certain determinations made at the partner level. Accordingly, we urge partners in partnerships (including entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holding TortoiseCorp Public Securities or New Volta Securities to consult with, and rely solely upon, their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them relating to the matters discussed below.

153

U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders

This section applies to you if you are a “U.S. Holder.”

The Domestication

The discussion under this heading “— U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — The Domestication” constitutes the opinion of Vinson & Elkins L.L.P., U.S. tax counsel to TortoiseCorp, insofar as it discusses the material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to U.S. Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares and TortoiseCorp Warrants as a result of the Domestication, based on, and subject to, customary assumptions, qualifications and limitations, and the assumptions, qualifications and limitations herein and in the opinion included as Exhibit 8.1 hereto, as well as representations of TortoiseCorp. The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication will depend primarily upon whether the Domestication qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

Pursuant to the Domestication, TortoiseCorp will change its jurisdiction of incorporation by deregistering as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and continuing and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (and in connection with the Domestication will change its name to “Volta Inc.”). The Domestication should qualify as a Reorganization, but such treatment is not free from doubt. For purposes of the discussion below regarding the consequences of the Domestication, it is assumed that the Domestication will qualify as a Reorganization described in Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code.

If the Domestication qualifies as a Reorganization, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•        TortoiseCorp should be deemed to have (i) transferred all of its assets and liabilities to New Volta in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock and warrants of New Volta, and immediately thereafter (ii) distributed the common stock and warrants of New Volta to the shareholders and warrant holders of TortoiseCorp in liquidation of TortoiseCorp, and the taxable year of TortoiseCorp should end on the date of the Domestication;

•        subject to certain rules discussed under “— U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — Effects of Section 367(b)” and “— U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules” below, a U.S. Holder that exchanges its Class A Ordinary Shares for New Volta Class A Common Stock and/or TortoiseCorp Warrants for New Volta Warrants in the Domestication should not recognize any gain or loss on such exchange;

•        subject to certain rules discussed under “— U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — Effects of Section 367(b)” and “— U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules” below, the tax basis of a share of New Volta Class A Common Stock or a New Volta Warrant, as applicable, received by a U.S. Holder in the Domestication should be equal to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Class A Ordinary Share or TortoiseCorp Warrant surrendered in exchange therefor; and

•        the holding period for a share of New Volta Class A Common Stock or a New Volta Warrant, as applicable, received by a U.S. Holder should include such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Class A Ordinary Share or TortoiseCorp Warrant surrendered in exchange therefor.

If the Domestication fails to qualify as a Reorganization, then subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. Holder generally would recognize gain or loss with respect to each of its Class A Ordinary Shares and TortoiseCorp Warrants in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the fair market value of the corresponding share of New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Warrant received in the Domestication and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Class A Ordinary Share or TortoiseCorp Warrant surrendered in exchange therefor. In such event, such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the share of New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Warrant received in the Domestication would be equal to the fair market value of that share of New Volta Class A Common Stock or that New Volta Warrant on the date of the Domestication, and such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the share of New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Warrant received in the Domestication would begin on the day following the date of the Domestication.

154

Because the Domestication will occur immediately prior to the redemption of New Volta Class A Common Stock described in the subsection of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Information about TortoiseCorp — Redemption Rights for Holders of Public Shares,” U.S. Holders exercising their redemption rights with respect to their New Volta Class A Common Stock will be subject to the potential tax consequences of the Domestication. All U.S. Holders considering exercising their redemption rights with respect to their New Volta Class A Common Stock are urged to consult with, and rely solely upon, their tax advisors with respect to the potential tax consequences to them of the Domestication and exercise of redemption rights.

THE RULES GOVERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT OF THE DOMESTICATION ARE COMPLEX. U.S. HOLDERS OF TORTOISECORP PUBLIC SECURITIES ARE URGED TO CONSULT WITH, AND RELY SOLELY UPON, THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE POTENTIAL TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE DOMESTICATION, INCLUDING IF IT WERE TO FAIL TO QUALIFY AS A REORGANIZATION.

Effects of Section 367(b)

Section 367(b) of the Code applies to certain transactions involving foreign corporations that would otherwise not require shareholders to recognize gain or loss, including the domestication of a foreign corporation in certain Reorganizations. When it applies, Section 367(b) requires certain U.S. persons to recognize income in connection with transactions that otherwise would generally be tax-free. These rules may apply with respect to U.S. Holders on the date of the Domestication, and because the Domestication will occur immediately prior to the redemption of U.S. Holders that exercise redemption rights with respect to their New Volta Class A Common Stock, U.S. Holders exercising such redemption rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of such rules as a result of the Domestication.

A.      U.S. Holders that Own at Least 10 Percent (by Vote or Value) of TortoiseCorp

A U.S. Holder who on the date of the Domestication beneficially owns (actually or constructively, including as a result of the applicable attribution rules that would take into account such U.S. Holder’s ownership of TortoiseCorp Warrants) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares entitled to vote or 10% or more of the total value of all classes of our shares (a “10% U.S. Shareholder”) must include in income as a dividend the “all earnings and profits amount” as defined in U.S. Treasury regulations. Complex attribution rules apply in determining whether a U.S. Holder is a 10% U.S. Shareholder and all U.S. Holders are urged to consult with, and rely solely upon, their tax advisors with respect to these attribution rules.

A 10% U.S. Shareholder’s “all earnings and profits amount” with respect to its Class A Ordinary Shares is the net positive earnings and profits of TortoiseCorp attributable to such public shares (as determined under U.S. Treasury regulations). U.S. Treasury regulations provide that the “all earnings and profits amount” attributable to a shareholder’s block of shares is the ratably allocated portion of the foreign corporation’s earnings and profits generated during the period the shareholder held the block of shares.

TortoiseCorp does not expect to have significant cumulative earnings and profits through the date of the Domestication. If TortoiseCorp’s cumulative net earnings and profits through the date of the Domestication is less than or equal to zero, then a U.S. Holder should not be required to include in gross income an “all earnings and profits amount” with respect to its public shares. If TortoiseCorp’s cumulative net earnings and profits are greater than zero through the date of the Domestication, a U.S. Holder would be required to include its “all earnings and profits amount” in income as a deemed dividend. A U.S. Holder that is a corporation may, under certain circumstances, effectively be exempt from taxation on a portion or all of the deemed dividend. U.S. Holders, including corporate shareholders and shareholders who have made a QEF Election (as defined below), should consult with, and rely solely upon, their own tax advisors as to the applicability of such rules in their particular circumstances.

B.      U.S. Holders that Own Less than 10 Percent (by Vote and Value) of TortoiseCorp

A U.S. Holder who, on the date of the Domestication, beneficially owns (actually or constructively, including as a result of the applicable attribution rules that would take into account such U.S. Holder’s ownership of TortoiseCorp Warrants) Class A Ordinary Shares with a fair market value of at least $50,000 (but less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of TortoiseCorp shares entitled to vote and less than 10% of the total

155

value of all classes of TortoiseCorp shares) will recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to the Domestication or, in the alternative, may elect to recognize the “all earnings and profits amount” attributable to such U.S. Holder, as described below.

Unless a U.S. Holder makes the “all earnings and profits amount” election described herein, such U.S. Holder generally must recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to its New Volta Class A Common Stock received in the Domestication in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of such New Volta Class A Common Stock over the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Class A Ordinary Shares surrendered in exchange therefor. Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, such gain would be capital gain, and would be long-term capital gain if the U.S. Holder held the Class A Ordinary Shares for longer than one year (subject to the suspension of the applicable holding period for the reasons described in “— U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — Gain or Loss on Sale or Other Taxable Exchange or Disposition of New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Warrants” below).

In lieu of recognizing any gain as described in the preceding paragraph, a U.S. Holder may elect to include in income the “all earnings and profits amount” attributable to its Class A Ordinary Shares. There are, however, strict conditions for making this election. The election must comply with applicable U.S. Treasury regulations and generally must include, among other things, (a) a statement that the Domestication is a Section 367(b) exchange (within the meaning of the applicable U.S. Treasury regulations), (b) a complete description of the Domestication, (c) a description of any stock, securities or other consideration transferred or received in the Domestication, (d) a statement describing the amounts required to be taken into account for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (e) a statement that the U.S. Holder is making the election that includes (i) a copy of the information that the U.S. Holder received from New Volta establishing and substantiating the U.S. Holder’s “all earnings and profits amount” with respect to the U.S. Holder’s Class A Ordinary Shares and (ii) a representation that the U.S. Holder has notified New Volta that the U.S. Holder is making the election and (f) certain other information required to be furnished with the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax return or otherwise furnished pursuant to the Code or the U.S. Treasury regulations.

The election must be attached by the electing U.S. Holder to such U.S. Holder’s timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the year of the Domestication, and the U.S. Holder must send notice that it is making the election to New Volta no later than the date such tax return is filed. Upon written request, TortoiseCorp will endeavor to provide to a U.S. Holder such information as the IRS may require, including a PFIC annual information statement, in order to enable the U.S. Holder to make and maintain a QEF Election. There is no assurance, however, that TortoiseCorp will timely provide such required information.

EACH U.S. HOLDER IS URGED TO CONSULT WITH, AND RELY SOLELY UPON, ITS TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE CONSEQUENCES TO IT OF MAKING THE ELECTION DESCRIBED HEREIN AND THE APPROPRIATE FILING REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ELECTION.

C.     U.S. Holders that Own Class A Ordinary Shares with a Fair Market Value of Less than $50,000

A U.S. Holder who, on the date of the Domestication, beneficially owns (actually or constructively, including as a result of the applicable attribution rules that would take into account such U.S. Holder’s ownership of TortoiseCorp Warrants) Class A Ordinary Shares with a fair market value of less than $50,000 (as well as less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of TortoiseCorp shares entitled to vote and less than 10% of the total value of all classes of TortoiseCorp shares) generally should not be required to recognize any gain or loss under Section 367(b) of the Code in connection with the Domestication or to include any part of the “all earnings and profits amount” in income.

156

ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE EFFECT OF SECTION 367(b) OF THE CODE TO THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

In addition to the discussion under “— U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — Effects of Section 367(b),” the Domestication could be a taxable event for U.S. Holders under the PFIC provisions of the Code.

A.      PFIC Status of TortoiseCorp

In general, a foreign (i.e., non-U.S.) corporation will be treated as a PFIC with respect to a U.S. Holder in any taxable year in which, after applying certain look-through rules, either: (i) at least 75% of its gross income for such taxable year consists of passive income (e.g., dividends, interest, rents (other than rents derived from the active conduct of a trade or business), and gains from the disposition of passive assets); or (ii) the average percentage (ordinarily averaged quarterly over the year) by value of its assets during such taxable year that produce or are held for the production of passive income is at least 50%.

Because TortoiseCorp is a blank-check company with no current active business, based upon the composition of its income and assets, and upon review of its financial statements, TortoiseCorp believes that it may be considered a PFIC for the 2020 taxable year and may be considered a PFIC for its current taxable year (which is expected to end on the date of the Domestication).

B.     Effects of PFIC Rules on the Domestication

Section 1291(f) of the Code requires that, to the extent provided in U.S. Treasury regulations, a U.S. Holder that disposes of stock of a PFIC recognizes gain notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. No final U.S. Treasury regulations are currently in effect under Section 1291(f) of the Code. However, proposed U.S. Treasury regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code have been promulgated with a retroactive effective date once they become final. If finalized (including retroactively after the date of the Domestication) in their currently proposed form, such U.S. Treasury regulations may require taxable gain recognition by a U.S. Holder with respect to its exchange of Class A Ordinary Shares and TortoiseCorp Warrants, as applicable, for New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Warrants in the Domestication if TortoiseCorp were classified as a PFIC at any time during such U.S. Holder’s holding period for such Class A Ordinary Shares or TortoiseCorp Warrants, as applicable. The tax on any such recognized gain would be imposed based on a complex set of computational rules. However, as discussed in more detail below, a U.S. Holder may be able to avoid the PFIC gain and other tax consequences described below with respect to its Class A Ordinary Shares (but not its TortoiseCorp Warrants) if such U.S. Holder either (i) is eligible to and makes a timely and valid QEF Election (as defined and described below) in the first taxable year in which such U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Class A Ordinary Shares and in which TortoiseCorp was classified as a PFIC or (ii) makes a Mark-to-Market Election with respect to its Class A Ordinary Shares. Generally, neither election is available with respect to the TortoiseCorp Warrants.

Under these rules:

•        the U.S. Holder’s gain would be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s aggregate holding period for such U.S. Holder’s Class A Ordinary Shares or TortoiseCorp Warrants;

•        the amount of gain allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which the U.S. Holder realized the gain, or to the portion of the U.S. Holder’s holding period prior to the first day of TortoiseCorp’s taxable year in which TortoiseCorp was a PFIC, would be taxed as ordinary income; and

•        the amount of gain allocated to each of the other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder would be subject to tax at the highest rate of tax in effect for the U.S. Holder for that year, and an interest charge for the deemed deferral benefit would be imposed with respect to the resulting tax attributable to each such other taxable year (or portion thereof).

The proposed U.S. Treasury regulations provide coordinating rules with Section 367(b) of the Code, whereby, if the gain recognition rule of the proposed U.S. Treasury regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code applies to a disposition of PFIC stock that results from a transfer with respect to which Section 367(b) of the Code requires the shareholder to recognize gain or include an amount in income as discussed under “— Effects of Section 367(b),”

157

the gain realized on the transfer is taxable under the PFIC rules discussed above, and the excess, if any, of the amount to be included in income under Section 367(b) of the Code over the gain realized under Section 1291 of the Code is taxable as provided under Section 367(b) of the Code.

It is not possible to predict whether, in what form and with what effective date the proposed U.S. Treasury regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code will become final. Therefore, U.S. Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares that have not made a timely QEF Election or a Mark-to-Market Election and U.S. Holders of TortoiseCorp Warrants may, pursuant to the proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, be subject to taxation on the Domestication to the extent their Class A Ordinary Shares or TortoiseCorp Warrants have a fair market value in excess of their tax basis.

C.     QEF Election with Respect to Class A Ordinary Shares

The impact of the PFIC rules on a U.S. Holder with respect to its Class A Ordinary Shares (but not its TortoiseCorp Warrants, for which a QEF Election is not available) will depend on whether such U.S. Holder is eligible to and makes a timely and valid election to treat TortoiseCorp as a “qualified electing fund” under Section 1295 of the Code (which we refer to as a “QEF Election”) for the first taxable year in which such U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Class A Ordinary Shares and TortoiseCorp is classified as a PFIC. Generally, a QEF Election should be made on or before the due date for filing such U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax return for such taxable year. A QEF Election is made by an individual U.S. Holder (and, once made, can be revoked only with the consent of the IRS) and generally requires such U.S. Holder to include annually in gross income its pro rata share of the ordinary earnings (as ordinary income) and net capital gains (as long-term capital gain), if any, of TortoiseCorp, regardless of whether TortoiseCorp makes distributions to such U.S. Holder. However, in order to comply with the QEF Election requirements, a U.S. Holder must receive a PFIC annual information statement from TortoiseCorp. Upon written request, TortoiseCorp will endeavor to provide to a U.S. Holder such information as the IRS may require, including a PFIC annual information statement, in order to enable the U.S. Holder to make and maintain a QEF Election. There is no assurance, however, that TortoiseCorp will timely provide such required information.

D.     Mark-to-Market Election with Respect to Class A Ordinary Shares

The impact of the PFIC rules on a U.S. Holder with respect to its Class A Ordinary Shares (but not its TortoiseCorp Warrants, for which a Mark-to-Market Election, is not available) may also depend on whether such U.S. Holder is eligible to and makes a timely and valid “Mark-to-Market Election” under Section 1296 of the Code with respect to its Class A Ordinary Shares. No assurance can be given that the Class A Ordinary Shares are considered to be “marketable stock” (which generally would include stock that is regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the New York Stock Exchange (on which the Class A Ordinary Shares have been listed)) for purposes of the Mark-to-Market Election. If such an election is available and has been made by a U.S. Holder, such U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to the PFIC rules described above. However, if the Mark-to-Market Election is made by a U.S. Holder after the first taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which the U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) Class A Ordinary Shares and in which TortoiseCorp was classified as a PFIC, then the PFIC rules will continue to apply to certain dispositions of, distributions on and other amounts taxable with respect to Class A Ordinary Shares.

THE PFIC RULES (INCLUDING THE RULES WITH RESPECT TO THE QEF ELECTION AND THE MARK-TO-MARKET ELECTION) ARE VERY COMPLEX AND AFFECTED BY VARIOUS FACTORS IN ADDITION TO THOSE DESCRIBED ABOVE. THEIR APPLICATION IS UNCERTAIN. U.S. HOLDERS ARE STRONGLY URGED TO CONSULT WITH, AND RELY SOLELY UPON, THEIR TAX ADVISORS TO DETERMINE THE APPLICATION OF THE PFIC RULES TO THEM IN THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES AND ANY RESULTING TAX CONSEQUENCES.

THE RULES GOVERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT OF THE DOMESTICATION ARE COMPLEX. U.S. HOLDERS OF TORTOISECORP PUBLIC SECURITIES ARE URGED TO CONSULT WITH, AND RELY SOLELY UPON, THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE POTENTIAL TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE DOMESTICATION.

Redemption of New Volta Class A Common Stock

In the event that a U.S. Holder’s New Volta Class A Common Stock is redeemed pursuant to the redemption provisions described in the subsection of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Information about TortoiseCorp — Redemption Rights for Holders of Public Shares,” the treatment of the redemption for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether it qualifies as a sale of the New Volta Class A Common Stock under Section 302 of the Code. If the redemption qualifies as a sale of New Volta Class A Common Stock, the U.S. Holder will be treated as described under “— U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — Gain or Loss on Sale or Other Taxable Exchange or Disposition of New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Warrants” below. If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of New Volta Class A Common Stock, the U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a distribution from New Volta with the tax consequences described below under “— U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — Distributions Treated as Dividends.”

Whether a redemption qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total number of shares of New Volta stock treated as held by the U.S. Holder (including any stock constructively owned by the U.S. Holder as a result of owning New Volta Warrants or otherwise) relative to all of the shares of New Volta stock outstanding both before and after the redemption. The redemption of New Volta Class A Common Stock generally will be treated as a sale of New Volta Class A Common Stock (rather than as a distribution from New Volta) if the redemption satisfies one of the following tests (the “redemption sale tests”): (i) it is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the U.S. Holder, (ii) it results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. Holder’s interest in New Volta or (iii) it is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the U.S. Holder. In determining whether any of the redemption sale tests is satisfied, a U.S. Holder must take into account not only stock actually owned by the U.S. Holder, but also shares of our stock that are “constructively” owned by it. A U.S. Holder may constructively own (i) stock owned by certain related individuals or entities in which the U.S. Holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. Holder and (ii) any stock the U.S. Holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include the New Volta Class A Common Stock which could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the New Volta Warrants.

In order to meet the “substantially disproportionate” test, the percentage of New Volta’s outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder immediately following the redemption of our New Volta Class A Common Stock must, among other requirements, be less than 80% of the percentage of New Volta’s outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder immediately before the redemption. Prior to the Business Combination, the New Volta Class A Common Stock may not be treated as voting stock for this purpose and, consequently, this substantially disproportionate test may not be applicable. There will be a “complete termination” of a U.S. Holder’s interest if either (i) all of the shares of our stock both actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed or (ii) all of the shares of our stock actually owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed, the U.S. Holder is eligible to waive and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules the constructive attribution of stock owned by certain family members, and the U.S. Holder does not constructively own any other shares of our stock (including as a result of owning New Volta Warrants). The redemption of New Volta Class A Common Stock will not be “essentially equivalent to a dividend” if a U.S. Holder’s redemption results in a “meaningful reduction” of the U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in New Volta. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in New Volta will depend on the particular facts and circumstances, but the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.”

If none of the redemption sale tests is satisfied, the redemption will be treated as a distribution from New Volta and the tax considerations will be as described under “— U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — Distributions Treated as Dividends” below. After the application of those rules, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. Holder in the redeemed New Volta Class A Common Stock will be added to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining stock or, if it has none, to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its New Volta Warrants or possibly in other shares of our stock constructively owned by it.

U.S. Holders who actually or constructively own five percent (or if our New Volta Class A Common Stock is not then publicly traded, one percent) or more of our stock (by vote or value) may be subject to special reporting requirements with respect to a redemption of our New Volta Class A Common Stock. A U.S. Holder should consult with, and rely solely upon, its own tax advisor with respect to its reporting requirements.

159

The rules governing the U.S. federal income tax treatment of redemptions are complex and the determination of whether a redemption will be treated as a sale of New Volta Class A Common Stock or as a distribution with respect to such stock is made on a holder-by-holder basis. Additionally, because the Domestication will occur immediately prior to the redemption of U.S. Holders that exercise redemption rights with respect to their New Volta Class A Common Stock, U.S. Holders exercising such redemption rights will be subject to the potential tax consequences of the Domestication. All U.S. Holders considering exercising redemption rights with respect to their New Volta Class A Common Stock are urged to consult with, and rely solely upon, their tax advisors with respect to the potential tax consequences to them of the Domestication and exercise of redemption rights.

Tax Characterization of Distributions with Respect to New Volta Class A Common Stock

If New Volta pays distributions of cash or other property to U.S. Holders of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, such distributions generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from New Volta’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its New Volta Class A Common Stock, that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its New Volta Class A Common Stock. Any remaining portion of the distribution will be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of New Volta Class A Common Stock and will be treated as described under “— U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — Gain or Loss on Sale or Other Taxable Exchange or Disposition of New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Warrants” below.

Possible Constructive Distributions with Respect to New Volta Warrants

The terms of the New Volta Warrants provide for an adjustment to the number of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock for which New Volta Warrants may be exercised or to the exercise price of the New Volta Warrants in certain events. An adjustment which has the effect of preventing dilution generally is not taxable. U.S. Holders of the New Volta Warrants would, however, be treated as receiving a constructive distribution from New Volta if, for example, the adjustment increases the warrantholders’ proportionate interest in New Volta’s assets or earnings and profits (e.g., through an increase in the number of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock that would be obtained upon exercise or through a decrease in the exercise price of the New Volta Warrant) as a result of a distribution of cash or other property to the holders of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock. Any such constructive distribution would be treated in the same manner as if U.S. Holders of New Volta Warrants received a cash distribution from New Volta generally equal to the fair market value of the increased interest and would be taxed in a manner similar to distributions to U.S. Holders of New Volta Class A Common Stock described herein. See “— U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — Tax Characterization of Distributions with Respect to New Volta Class A Common Stock” above. For certain information reporting purposes, New Volta is required to determine the date and amount of any such constructive distributions. Proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, which New Volta may rely on prior to the issuance of final regulations, specify how the date and amount of any such constructive distributions are determined.

Distributions Treated as Dividends

Any portion of a distribution that is treated as a dividend paid by New Volta to a U.S. Holder that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally will qualify for the 50% dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied. The portion of any dividend that is nontaxable to a corporate U.S. Holder under the dividends received deduction will result in a reduction of the U.S. Holder’s basis in its shares if the dividend is classified as an “extraordinary dividend” which reduction would increase the amount of gain or decrease the amount of loss recognized by the U.S. Holder in connection with a disposition of its shares. With certain exceptions (including, but not limited to, dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations), and provided certain holding period requirements are met, any portion of a distribution that is treated as a dividend paid by New Volta to a non-corporate U.S. Holder generally will constitute a “qualified dividend” that will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the lower applicable long-term capital gains rate. It is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to the New Volta Class A Common Stock described in this proxy statement/prospectus may be deemed to be a limitation of a stockholder’s risk of loss and prevent a

160

U.S. Holder from satisfying the applicable holding period requirements, and if the Domestication did not qualify as a Reorganization, the holding period of each U.S. Holder’s shares would begin the day after the Domestication. If the applicable holding period requirements are not satisfied, a corporate U.S. Holder may not be able to qualify for the dividends received deduction and would have taxable income equal to the entire dividend amount, and a non-corporate U.S. Holder may be subject to tax on the dividend at regular ordinary income tax rates instead of the preferential income tax rate that applies to qualified dividend income. U.S. Holders should consult with, and rely solely upon, their tax advisors regarding the availability of the dividends received deduction or the lower preferential income tax rate for qualified dividend income, as the case may be.

Gain or Loss on Sale or Other Taxable Exchange or Disposition of New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Warrants

Upon a sale or other taxable disposition of New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Warrants (which in general would include a redemption of New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Warrants that is treated as a sale of such securities as described below), a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis with respect to its New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Warrants. Generally, the amount of capital gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder will be an amount equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received in such disposition (or, if the New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Warrants are held as part of New Volta Units at the time of the disposition, the portion of the amount realized on such disposition that is allocated to the New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Warrants included in the New Volta Units) and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the relevant New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Warrants. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Warrants generally will equal the U.S. Holder’s acquisition cost of the Class A Ordinary Shares or TortoiseCorp Warrants exchanged therefore (see the tax basis discussion above under the caption “— U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — The Domestication”) or, as discussed below, the U.S. Holder’s initial basis for the New Volta Class A Common Stock received upon exercise of New Volta Warrants, less, in the case of New Volta Class A Common Stock, any prior distributions paid to such U.S. Holder that were treated as a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes (as discussed above).

Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Warrants, as applicable, so disposed of exceeds one year. It is unclear, however, whether the redemption rights with respect to the New Volta Class A Common Stock described in this proxy statement/prospectus may be deemed to be a limitation of a stockholder’s risk of loss and suspend the running of the applicable holding period of such stock for this purpose. If the running of the holding period for the New Volta Class A Common Stock is suspended, non-corporate U.S. Holders may not be able to satisfy the one-year holding period requirement for long-term capital gain treatment with respect to New Volta Class A Common Stock. If the one-year holding period requirement is not satisfied, any gain on a sale or other taxable disposition of the New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Warrants, as applicable, would be subject to short-term capital gain treatment and would be taxed at regular ordinary income tax rates. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders will be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Cash Exercise of a New Volta Warrant

Except as discussed below with respect to the cashless exercise of a New Volta Warrant, a U.S. Holder generally will not recognize gain or loss on the acquisition of New Volta Class A Common Stock upon the exercise of a New Volta Warrant for cash. The U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its New Volta Class A Common Stock received upon exercise of a New Volta Warrant generally will be an amount equal to the sum of the U.S. Holder’s initial investment in the TortoiseCorp Warrant (see the tax basis discussion above under the caption “— U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — The Domestication”) and the exercise price of such New Volta Warrant. It is unclear whether a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the New Volta Class A Common Stock received upon exercise of the New Volta Warrant will commence on the date of exercise of the New Volta Warrant or the immediately following date. In either case, the holding period will not include the period during which the U.S. Holder held the New Volta Warrant.

161

Cashless Exercise of a New Volta Warrant

The tax characterization of a cashless exercise of a New Volta Warrant are not clear under current tax law. Due to the absence of authority on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a cashless exercise, there can be no assurance which, if any, of the alternative tax characterizations and resultant tax consequences would be adopted by the IRS or upheld by a court of law. Accordingly, U.S. Holders should consult with, and rely solely upon, their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of a cashless exercise.

A cashless exercise could potentially be characterized as any of the following for U.S. federal income tax purposes: (i) not a realization event and thus tax-deferred, (ii) a realization event that qualifies as a tax-deferred “recapitalization,” or (iii) a taxable realization event. While not free from doubt, New Volta intends to treat any cashless exercise of a New Volta Warrant occurring after its giving notice of an intention to redeem the New Volta Warrant for cash as permitted under the terms of the Warrant Agreement as if New Volta redeemed such New Volta Warrant for shares in a cashless redemption qualifying as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, there is some uncertainty regarding New Volta’s intended tax treatment, and it is possible that a cashless exercise could be characterized differently. Accordingly, the tax consequences of all three characterizations are generally described below. U.S. Holders should consult with and rely solely upon their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of a cashless exercise.

If a cashless exercise were characterized as either not a realization event or as a realization event that qualifies as a recapitalization, a U.S. Holder should not recognize any gain or loss on the exchange of New Volta Warrants for shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock. A U.S. Holder’s basis in the shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock received would generally equal the U.S. Holder’s aggregate basis in the exchanged New Volta Warrants. If the cashless exercise were not a realization event, it is unclear whether a U.S. Holder’s holding period in the New Volta Class A Common Stock would be treated as commencing on the date of exchange of the New Volta Warrants or on the immediately following date, but the holding period would not include the period during which the U.S. Holder held the New Volta Warrants. On the other hand, if the cashless exercise were characterized as a realization event that qualifies as a recapitalization, the holding period of the New Volta Class A Common Stock would include the holding period of the warrants exercised therefor.

If the cashless exercise were treated as a realization event that does not qualify as a recapitalization, however, the cashless exercise could be treated in whole or in part as a taxable exchange in which gain or loss would be recognized by the U.S. Holder. For example, a portion of the New Volta Warrants to be exercised on a cashless basis could be deemed to have been surrendered in payment of the exercise price of the remaining portion of such warrants, which would be deemed to be exercised. In such a case, a U.S. Holder would effectively be deemed to have sold a number of New Volta Warrants having an aggregate value equal to the exercise price of the remaining New Volta Warrants deemed exercised. The U.S. Holder would recognize capital gain or loss in an amount generally equal to the difference between the value of the portion of the warrants deemed sold and its adjusted tax basis in such warrants (generally in the manner described above under “— U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — Gain or Loss on Sale or Other Taxable Exchange or Disposition of New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Warrants”), and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the New Volta Class A Common Stock received would generally equal the sum of the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the remaining New Volta Warrants deemed exercised and the exercise price of such warrants. It is unclear whether a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the New Volta Class A Common Stock would commence on the date of exercise of the New Volta Warrants or on the date following the date of exercise of the New Volta Warrants, but the holding period would not include the period during which the U.S. Holder held the New Volta Warrants.

Redemption or Repurchase of Warrants for Cash

If New Volta redeems the New Volta Warrants for cash as permitted under the terms of the Warrant Agreement or if New Volta repurchases New Volta Warrants in an open market transaction, such redemption or repurchase generally will be treated as a taxable disposition to the U.S. Holder, taxed as described under “— U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — Gain or Loss on Sale or Other Taxable Exchange or Disposition of New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Warrants” above.

162

Expiration of a New Volta Warrant

If a New Volta Warrant is allowed to expire unexercised, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize a capital loss equal to such holder’s tax basis in the New Volta Warrant (see the tax basis discussion above under the caption “— U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — The Domestication”). The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Information reporting requirements generally will apply to dividends paid to a U.S. Holder and to the proceeds from the sale or other disposition of New Volta Units, New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Warrants, unless the U.S. Holder is an exempt recipient and certifies to such exempt status. Backup withholding may apply to such payments if the U.S. Holder fails to provide a taxpayer identification number or a certification of exempt status or has been notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding (and such notification has not been withdrawn).

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability (if any) of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund generally may be obtained, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

U.S. Federal Income Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders

This section applies to you if you are a “Non-U.S. Holder.”

The Domestication

TortoiseCorp does not expect the Domestication to result in any material U.S. federal income tax consequences to Non-U.S. Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares and TortoiseCorp Warrants.

NON-U.S. HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH, AND RELY SOLELY UPON, THEIR TAX ADVISORS TO DETERMINE THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE DOMESTICATION.

Redemption of New Volta Class A Common Stock

The characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of the redemption of a Non-U.S. Holder’s New Volta Class A Common Stock pursuant to the redemption provisions described in the subsection of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Information about TortoiseCorp — Redemption Rights for Holders of Public Shares,” generally will correspond to the U.S. federal income tax characterization of such a redemption of a U.S. Holder’s New Volta Class A Common Stock, as described under “— U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — Redemption of New Volta Class A Common Stock” above, and the consequences of the redemption to the Non-U.S. Holder will correspond to that described below in “— U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — Distributions Treated as Dividends” and “— U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — Gain or Loss on Sale or Other Taxable Exchange or Disposition of New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Warrants,” as applicable. It is possible that because the applicable withholding agent may not be able to determine the proper characterization of a redemption of a Non-U.S. Holder’s New Volta Class A Common Stock, the withholding agent might treat the redemption as a distribution subject to withholding tax.

Tax Characterization of Distributions with Respect to New Volta Class A Common Stock

The determination of the extent to which a distribution will be treated as a dividend, return of capital or gain from the sale of stock is generally the same for Non-U.S. Holders as that described in “— U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — Tax Characterization of Distributions with Respect to New Volta Class A Common Stock.” To the extent a distribution constitutes gain from the sale of New Volta Class A Common Stock, see “— U.S. Federal Income Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders — Gain or Loss on Sale or Other Taxable Exchange or Disposition of New Volta Class A Common Stock and Warrants” below, and to the extent such distribution constitutes a dividend, see “— U.S. Federal Income Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders — Distributions Treated as Dividends.”

163

Possible Constructive Distributions with Respect to New Volta Warrants

The determination for Non-U.S. Holders of whether a constructive distribution from us has occurred as a result of an adjustment to the number of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock for which New Volta Warrants may be exercised or to the exercise price of the New Volta Warrants in certain events is generally the same as the determination for U.S. Holders as described in “— U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — Possible Constructive Distributions with Respect to New Volta Warrants.” To the extent such adjustment is treated as a constructive distribution, see “— U.S. Federal Income Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders — Tax Characterization of Distributions with Respect to New Volta Class A Common Stock” for the consequences of such characterization.

Distributions Treated as Dividends

Subject to the withholding requirements under FATCA (as defined below) and other than with respect to effectively connected dividends, each of which is discussed below, any distribution treated as a dividend paid to a Non-U.S. Holder on its New Volta Class A Common Stock generally will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at the rate of 30% of the gross amount of the distribution (unless an applicable income tax treaty provides for a lower rate). To receive the benefit of a reduced treaty rate, a Non-U.S. Holder must provide the applicable withholding agent with an IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or other applicable or successor form) certifying qualification for the reduced rate. In the case of any constructive dividend, it is possible that this tax would be withheld from any amount owed to a Non-U.S. Holder by the applicable withholding agent, including cash distributions on other property or sale proceeds from warrants or other property subsequently paid or credited to such Holder.

Any portion of a distribution that is treated as a dividend paid to a Non-U.S. Holder that is effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is treated as attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States) generally will be taxed on a net income basis at the rates and in the manner generally applicable to United States persons. Such effectively connected dividends will not be subject to U.S. withholding tax if the Non-U.S. Holder satisfies certain certification requirements by providing the applicable withholding agent with a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI certifying eligibility for exemption. If the Non-U.S. Holder is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it may also be subject to a branch profits tax (at a 30% rate or such lower rate as specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on its effectively connected earnings and profits (as adjusted for certain items), which will include effectively connected dividends.

Gain or Loss on Sale or Other Taxable Exchange or Disposition of New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Warrants

Subject to the discussion below under “— U.S. Federal Income Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders — Information Reporting and Backup Withholding,” a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on any gain realized upon the sale or other disposition of New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Warrants (including an expiration or redemption of New Volta Warrants) unless:

•        the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the calendar year in which the sale or disposition occurs and certain other conditions are met;

•        such gain is effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is treated as attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States); or

•        New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Warrants constitute United States real property interests by reason of New Volta’s status as a “United States real property holding corporation” (a “USRPHC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, as a result, such gain is treated as effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States.

A Non-U.S. Holder described in the first bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on the amount of such gain, which generally may be offset by U.S. source capital losses.

164

A Non-U.S. Holder whose gain is described in the second bullet point above or, subject to the exceptions described in the next paragraph, the third bullet point above, generally will be taxed on a net income basis at the rates and in the manner generally applicable to United States persons unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise. If the Non-U.S. Holder is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes whose gain is described in the second bullet point above, such gain would also be included in its effectively connected earnings and profits (as adjusted for certain items), which may be subject to a branch profits tax (at a 30% rate or such lower rate as provided under an applicable income tax treaty).

Generally, a corporation is a USRPHC if the fair market value of its United States real property interests equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its worldwide real property interests and its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. New Volta does not believe that it will be a USRPHC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and New Volta does not expect to become a USRPHC for the foreseeable future. However, in the event that New Volta were to become a USRPHC, as long as the New Volta Class A Common Stock continues to be “regularly traded on an established securities market” (within the meaning of the U.S. Treasury regulations, referred to herein as “regularly traded”), a Non-U.S. Holder that actually or constructively owns, or owned at all times during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the disposition or the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for the applicable security, (i) 5% or less of the New Volta Class A Common Stock and (ii) 5% or less of the New Volta Warrants, provided the warrants are considered to be regularly traded, as applicable, will not be treated as disposing of a United States real property interest and will not be taxable on gain realized on the disposition thereof as a result of New Volta’s status as a USRPHC. It is unclear how a Non-U.S. Holder’s ownership of New Volta Warrants will affect the determination of whether such Non-U.S. Holder owns more than 5% of the New Volta Class A Common Stock. In addition, special rules may apply in the case of a disposition of New Volta Warrants if the New Volta Class A Common Stock is considered to be regularly traded, but such other securities are not considered to be regularly traded. New Volta can provide no assurance as to its future status as a USRPHC or as to whether the New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Warrants will be treated as regularly traded.If New Volta were to become a USRPHC and its New Volta Class A Common Stock were not considered to be regularly traded on an established securities market, a Non-U.S. Holder (regardless of the percentage of New Volta Securities owned) would be treated as disposing of a United States real property interest and would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a taxable disposition of New Volta Class A Common Stock, New Volta Units and New Volta Warrants (as described in the preceding paragraph), and a 15% withholding tax would apply to the gross proceeds from any such disposition.

Non-U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult with, and rely solely upon, their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences related to ownership in a USRPHC.

Exercise or Redemption of a New Volta Warrant

The U.S. federal income tax characterization of a Non-U.S. Holder’s exercise of a New Volta Warrant generally will correspond to the U.S. federal income tax characterization of the exercise of a New Volta Warrant by a U.S. Holder, as described under “— U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — Cash Exercise of a New Volta Warrant” or “— U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — Cashless Exercise of a New Volta Warrant” above, as the case may be. To the extent a cashless exercise is characterized as a taxable exchange, the consequences would be similar to those described above in “— U.S. Federal Income Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders — Gain or Loss on Sale or Other Taxable Exchange or Disposition of New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Warrants.” The U.S. federal income tax treatment for a Non-U.S. Holder of a redemption of New Volta Warrants for cash as permitted under the terms of the Warrant Agreement (or if New Volta purchases New Volta Warrants in an open market transaction) generally will correspond to that described above in “— U.S. Federal Income Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders — Gain or Loss on Sale or Other Taxable Exchange or Disposition of New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Warrants.”

Expiration of a New Volta Warrant

The U.S. federal income tax treatment of the expiration of a New Volta Warrant held by a Non-U.S. Holder generally will correspond to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the expiration of a New Volta Warrant held by a U.S. Holder, as described under “— U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders — Expiration of a New Volta Warrant” above.

165

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Any dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder must be reported annually to the IRS and to the Non-U.S. Holder. Copies of these information returns may be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides or is established. Payments of dividends to a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to backup withholding if the Non-U.S. Holder establishes an exemption by properly certifying its non-U.S. status on an IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or other applicable or successor form).

Payments of the proceeds from a sale or other disposition by a Non-U.S. Holder of New Volta Units, New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Warrants effected by or through a U.S. office of a broker generally will be subject to information reporting and backup withholding (at the applicable rate) unless the Non-U.S. Holder establishes an exemption by properly certifying its non-U.S. status on an IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or other applicable or successor form) and certain other conditions are met. Information reporting and backup withholding generally will not apply to any payment of the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of New Volta Units, New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Warrants effected outside the United States by a non-U.S. office of a broker. However, unless such broker has documentary evidence in its records that the Non-U.S. Holder is not a United States person and certain other conditions are met, or the Non-U.S. Holder otherwise establishes an exemption, information reporting will apply to a payment of the proceeds of the disposition of New Volta Units, New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Warrants effected outside the United States by such a broker if it has certain relationships within the United States.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability (if any) of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund generally may be obtained, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

NON-U.S. HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH, AND RELY SOLELY UPON, THEIR TAX ADVISORS TO DETERMINE THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THEIR OWNERSHIP OF NEW VOLTA SECURITIES FOLLOWING THE BUSINESS COMBINATION.

Additional Withholding Requirements under FATCA

Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, and the U.S. Treasury regulations and administrative guidance issued thereunder (“FATCA”), impose a 30% withholding tax on any dividends (including constructive dividends) on New Volta Class A Common Stock and, subject to the proposed U.S. Treasury regulations discussed below, on proceeds from sales or other dispositions of our securities, if paid to a “foreign financial institution” or a “non-financial foreign entity” (each as defined in the Code) (including, in some cases, when such foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity is acting as an intermediary), unless (i) in the case of a foreign financial institution, such institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. government to withhold on certain payments, and to collect and provide to the U.S. tax authorities substantial information regarding U.S. account holders of such institution (which includes certain equity and debt holders of such institution, as well as certain account holders that are non-U.S. entities with U.S. owners), (ii) in the case of a non-financial foreign entity, such entity certifies that it does not have any “substantial United States owners” (as defined in the Code) or provides the applicable withholding agent with a certification identifying the direct and indirect substantial United States owners of the entity (in either case, generally on an IRS Form W-8BEN-E), or (iii) the foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules and provides appropriate documentation (such as an IRS Form W-8BEN-E). Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing these rules may be subject to different rules. Under certain circumstances, a Holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes. While gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition of our securities paid after January1, 2019 would have originally been subject to withholding under FATCA, proposed U.S. Treasury regulations provide that such payments of gross proceeds do not constitute withholdable payments. Taxpayers may generally rely on these proposed U.S. Treasury regulations until they are revoked or final U.S. Treasury regulations are issued. Holders are encouraged to consult with, and rely solely upon, their own tax advisors regarding the effects of FATCA on their ownership of New Volta Units, New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Warrants.

166

THE FOREGOING DISCUSSION IS NOT A COMPREHENSIVE DISCUSSION OF ALL OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO HOLDERS OF TORTOISECORP PUBLIC SECURITIES OR NEW VOLTA SECURITIES. SUCH HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH, AND RELY SOLELY UPON, THEIR TAX ADVISORS TO DETERMINE THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION (INCLUDING THE DOMESTICATION AND ANY EXERCISE OF THEIR REDEMPTION RIGHTS) AND, TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, OF OWNING NEW VOLTA SECURITIES FOLLOWING THE COMPLETION OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY OTHER TAX LAWS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE AND GIFT TAX LAWS AND ANY STATE, LOCAL, OR NON-U.S. TAX LAWS AND TAX TREATIES (AND ANY POTENTIAL FUTURE CHANGES THERETO).

Regulatory Matters

Under the HSR Act and rules that have been promulgated thereunder by the FTC, certain transactions may not be consummated unless information has been furnished to the Antitrust Division and the FTC and certain waiting period requirements have been satisfied. The Business Combination is subject to these requirements and may not be completed until the expiration or early termination of the 30-day waiting period following the parties’ submission of Notification and Report Forms with the Antitrust Division and the FTC. On February22, 2021, the parties filed the required forms under the HSR Act with respect to the Business Combination with the Antitrust Division and the FTC and requested early termination. The waiting period expired on March24, 2021 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time.

At any time before or after consummation of the Business Combination, notwithstanding expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, the Antitrust Division or the FTC, or any state or foreign governmental authority could take such action under applicable antitrust laws as such authority deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking to enjoin the consummation of the Business Combination, conditionally approving the Business Combination upon divestiture of assets, subjecting the completion of the Business Combination to regulatory conditions or seeking other remedies. Private parties may also seek to take legal action under the antitrust laws under certain circumstances. TortoiseCorp cannot assure you that the Antitrust Division, the FTC, any state attorney general or any other governmental authority will not attempt to challenge the Business Combination on antitrust grounds, and, if such a challenge is made, TortoiseCorp cannot assure you as to its result.

Neither TortoiseCorp nor Volta is aware of any material regulatory approvals or actions that are required for completion of the Business Combination other than as required under the HSR Act. It is presently contemplated that if any additional regulatory approvals or actions are required, those approvals or actions will be sought. There can be no assurance, however, that any such additional approvals or actions will be obtained.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 — THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL

Overview

We are asking our shareholders to approve and adopt the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination. Our shareholders should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus. Please see the section above entitled “The Business Combination” for additional information and a summary of certain terms of the Business Combination Agreement. You are urged to carefully read the Business Combination Agreement in its entirety before voting on this proposal.

Because we are holding a shareholder vote on the Business Combination Proposal, we may consummate the Business Combination only if it is approved by the affirmative vote (in person, online or by proxy) of a majority of the holders of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and actually casting votes thereon at the extraordinary general meeting, voting as a single class.

Resolution

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that TortoiseCorp’s entry into the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of February7, 2021, by and among TortoiseCorp, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub and Volta (in the form attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A), pursuant to which, among other things, (a) First Merger Sub will merge with and into Volta, with Volta surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Volta, and (b) as soon as practicable, but in any event within three days following the Effective Time, Volta (as the surviving entity of the First Merger) will merge with and into Second Merger Sub, with Second Merger Sub surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Volta, and all other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement be confirmed, ratified and approved in all respects.”

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Business Combination Proposal (and consequently, the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination) requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote (in person, online or by proxy) of a majority of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and actually casting votes thereon at the extraordinary general meeting, voting as a single class. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting. Accordingly, failure to vote in person, online or by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting or an abstention from voting will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the Business Combination Proposal.

The Business Combination Proposal is conditioned on the approval of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, the Business Combination Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of the Ordinary Shares.

Our Sponsor, directors and officers have agreed to vote any Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares owned by them in favor of the Business Combination Proposal.

Recommendation of the TortoiseCorp Board

THE TORTOISECORP BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT TORTOISECORP SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL.

168

PROPOSAL NO. 2 — THE DOMESTICATION PROPOSAL

Overview

As discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus, TortoiseCorp is asking its shareholders to approve the Domestication Proposal. Under the Business Combination Agreement, the approval of the Domestication Proposal is also a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination.

As a condition to closing the Business Combination, the TortoiseCorp Board has unanimously approved, and TortoiseCorp’s shareholders are being asked to consider and vote upon the Domestication Proposal to approve by special resolution a change of TortoiseCorp’s jurisdiction of incorporation by deregistering as a Cayman Islands exempted company and continuing and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. To effect the Domestication, TortoiseCorp will file an application to deregister with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and file the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which TortoiseCorp will be domesticated and continue as a Delaware corporation.

As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication, prior to the Effective Time: (a) each then issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Share and each then issued and outstanding Class B Ordinary Share of TortoiseCorp will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of New Volta Class A Common Stock; (b) each then issued and outstanding TortoiseCorp Warrant will convert automatically into a New Volta Warrant pursuant to the Warrant Agreement; (c) each then issued and outstanding TortoiseCorp Unit will convert automatically into a New Volta Unit, each consisting of one share of New Volta Class A Common Stock and one-fourth of one New Volta Warrant; (d) a dual class structure shall be implemented and New Volta will be authorized to issue shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock that will carry voting rights in the form of ten votes per such share; and (e) after its Domestication, TortoiseCorp will immediately be renamed “Volta Inc.”

The Domestication Proposal, if approved, will approve a change of TortoiseCorp’s jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware. Accordingly, while TortoiseCorp is currently incorporated as an exempted company under the Cayman Islands Companies Act (As Revised), upon the Domestication, New Volta will be governed by the DGCL. We encourage shareholders to carefully consult the information set out below under the section entitled “Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights.” Additionally, we note that if the Domestication Proposal is approved, then TortoiseCorp will also ask its shareholders to approve the Organizational Documents Proposal (discussed below), which, if approved, will replace the Existing Organizational Documents with the Proposed Organizational Documents. The Proposed Organizational Documents differ in certain material respects from the Existing Organizational Documents and we encourage shareholders to carefully consult the information set out below under the sections entitled “Proposal No. 3 — The Organizational Documents Proposal” and “Proposal No. 4 — The Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals” and the Existing Organizational Documents of TortoiseCorp and the Proposed Organizational Documents.

Reasons for the Domestication

The TortoiseCorp Board believes that there are significant advantages to us that will arise as a result of a change of our domicile to Delaware. Further, the TortoiseCorp Board believes that any direct benefit that the DGCL provides to a corporation also indirectly benefits its shareholders, who are the owners of the corporation. The TortoiseCorp Board believes that there are several reasons why a reincorporation in Delaware is in the best interests of TortoiseCorp and its shareholders. As explained in more detail below, these reasons can be summarized as follows:

•        Prominence, Predictability and Flexibility of Delaware Law.    For many years Delaware has followed a policy of encouraging incorporation in its state and, in furtherance of that policy, has been a leader in adopting, construing and implementing comprehensive, flexible corporate laws responsive to the legal and business needs of corporations organized under its laws. Many corporations have chosen Delaware initially as a state of incorporation or have subsequently changed corporate domicile to Delaware. Because of Delaware’s prominence as the state of incorporation for many major corporations, both the legislature and courts in Delaware have demonstrated the ability and a willingness to act quickly and effectively to meet changing business needs. The DGCL is frequently revised and updated

169

to accommodate changing legal and business needs and is more comprehensive, widely used and interpreted than other state corporate laws. This favorable corporate and regulatory environment is attractive to businesses such as ours.

•        Well-Established Principles of Corporate Governance.    There is substantial judicial precedent in the Delaware courts as to the legal principles applicable to measures that may be taken by a corporation and to the conduct of a company’s board of directors, such as under the business judgment rule and other standards. Because the judicial system is based largely on legal precedents, the abundance of Delaware case law provides clarity and predictability to many areas of corporate law. We believe such clarity would be advantageous to New Volta, its management and the New Volta Board to make corporate decisions and take corporate actions with greater assurance as to the validity and consequences of those decisions and actions. Further, investors and securities professionals are generally more familiar with Delaware corporations, and the laws governing such corporations, increasing their level of comfort with Delaware corporations relative to other jurisdictions. The Delaware courts have developed considerable expertise in dealing with corporate issues, and a substantial body of case law has developed construing Delaware law and establishing public policies with respect to corporate legal affairs. Moreover, Delaware’s vast body of law on the fiduciary duties of directors will provide appropriate protection for New Volta’s stockholders from possible abuses by directors and officers.

•        Increased Ability to Attract and Retain Qualified Directors.Reincorporation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware is attractive to directors, officers and shareholders alike. New Volta’s incorporation in Delaware may make New Volta more attractive to future candidates for the New Volta Board, because many such candidates are already familiar with Delaware corporate law from their past business experience. To date, we have not experienced difficulty in retaining directors or officers, but directors of public companies are exposed to significant potential liability. Thus, candidates’ familiarity and comfort with Delaware laws — especially those relating to director indemnification — draw such qualified candidates to Delaware corporations. The TortoiseCorp Board therefore believes that providing the benefits afforded directors by Delaware law will enable New Volta to compete more effectively with other public companies in the recruitment of talented and experienced directors and officers.

The frequency of claims and litigation pursued against directors and officers has greatly expanded the risks facing directors and officers of corporations in carrying out their respective duties. The amount of time and money required to respond to such claims and to defend such litigation can be substantial. While both Cayman Islands and Delaware law permit a corporation to include a provision in its governing documents to reduce or eliminate the monetary liability of directors for breaches of fiduciary duty in certain circumstances, the TortoiseCorp Board believes that, in general, Delaware law is more developed and provides more guidance than Cayman Islands law on matters regarding a company’s ability to limit director liability. As a result, the TortoiseCorp Board believes that the corporate environment afforded by Delaware will enable New Volta to compete more effectively with other public companies in attracting and retaining new directors.

Expected Accounting Treatment After Domestication

There will be no accounting effect nor change in carrying amount of the consolidated assets and liabilities of TortoiseCorp/New Volta as a result of the Domestication. The business, capitalization, assets and liabilities and financial statements of New Volta immediately following the Domestication will be the same as those of TortoiseCorp immediately prior to the Domestication.

Resolution

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as a special resolution, that TortoiseCorp be transferred by way of continuation to Delaware pursuant to Part XII of the Cayman Islands Companies Act (As Revised) and Section 388 of the DGCL and, immediately upon being de-registered in the Cayman Islands, that TortoiseCorp be continued and domesticated as a corporation under the laws of the state of Delaware and, conditional upon, and with effect from, the registration of TortoiseCorp as a corporation in the State of Delaware, the name of TortoiseCorp be changed from “Tortoise Acquisition Corp. II” to “Volta Inc.” and the registered office of the post-domestication company be changed to 2711 Centerville Road, Suite 400, in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, Delaware 19808.”

170

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Domestication Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote (in person, online or by proxy) of at least two-thirds of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and actually casting votes thereon at the extraordinary general meeting, voting as a single class. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting. Accordingly, failure to vote in person, online or by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting or an abstention from voting will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the Domestication Proposal.

The Domestication Proposal is conditioned on the approval of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, the Domestication Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of the Ordinary Shares.

Recommendation of the TortoiseCorp Board

THE TORTOISECORP BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT TORTOISECORP SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE DOMESTICATION PROPOSAL.

171

PROPOSAL NO. 3 — THE ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL

Overview

Assuming the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal and the NYSE Proposal are approved, TortoiseCorp will replace its Existing Organizational Documents with the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed Bylaws of New Volta, in each case under the DGCL.

TortoiseCorp’s shareholders are asked to consider and vote upon, to approve by special resolution and to adopt, the Proposed Organizational Documents in connection with the replacement of the Existing Organizational Documents, with such principal changes as are described in the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals. All shareholders are encouraged to read the Proposed Organizational Documents in their entirety, which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B and Annex C, for a more complete description of their terms.

Reasons for the Organizational Documents Proposal

Each of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws was negotiated as part of the Business Combination. The TortoiseCorp Board’s specific reasons for each of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals are set forth in the section entitled “Proposal No. 4 — The Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals.”

Resolution

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as a special resolution, that the Existing Organizational Documents currently in effect be amended and restated by the deletion in their entirety and the substitution in their place of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws, and that the name of the Company be changed to “Volta Inc.,” effective upon the effectiveness of the Domestication.”

Vote Required for Approval

If the Business Combination Proposal and the Domestication Proposal are not approved, the Organizational Documents Proposal will not be presented at the extraordinary general meeting. The approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal requires a special resolution under the Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote (in person, online or by proxy) of at least two-thirds of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and actually casting votes thereon at the extraordinary general meeting, voting as a single class. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for purposes of establishing quorum, will not count as a vote cast at the extraordinary general meeting. Accordingly, failure to vote in person, online or by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting or an abstention from voting will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the Organizational Documents Proposal.

The Organizational Documents Proposal is conditioned on the approval of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, the Organizational Documents Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of the Ordinary Shares.

Recommendation of the TortoiseCorp Board

THE TORTOISECORP BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT TORTOISECORP SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSAL.

172

PROPOSAL NO. 4 — THE ADVISORY ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSALS

If the Domestication Proposal and Organizational Documents Proposal are approved and the Business Combination is to be consummated, TortoiseCorp will replace the Existing Organizational Documents, under the Cayman Islands Companies Act (As Revised), with the Proposed Organizational Documents, under the DGCL.

As required by SEC guidance, to give shareholders the opportunity to present their separate views on important corporate governance provisions, TortoiseCorp is asking its shareholders to consider and vote upon and to approve on a non-binding advisory basis by ordinary resolution nine separate proposals in connection with the replacement of the Existing Organizational Documents with the Proposed Organizational Documents. The Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals are conditioned upon the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Organizational Documents Proposal and each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. However, the shareholder vote regarding each of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals is an advisory vote, and is not binding on TortoiseCorp or the TortoiseCorp Board (separate and apart from the approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal). Accordingly, regardless of the outcome of the non-binding advisory vote on the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, TortoiseCorp intends that the Proposed Organizational Documents will take effect upon the closing of the Business Combination (assuming approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal).

The following table sets forth a summary of the principal changes proposed to be made between the Existing Organizational Documents and the Proposed Organizational Documents. This summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the Proposed Organizational Documents, copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B and Annex C. All shareholders are encouraged to read each of the Proposed Organizational Documents in its entirety for a more complete description of its terms. Additionally, as the Existing Organizational Documents are governed by Cayman Islands law and the Proposed Organizational Documents will be governed by the DGCL, TortoiseCorp encourages its shareholders to carefully consult the information set out under the section entitled “Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights.”

	Existing Organizational Documents	Proposed Organizational Documents
Authorized Shares (Proposal 4A)	Under the Existing Organizational Documents, TortoiseCorp’s share capital is US$22,100 divided into 221,000,000 TortoiseCorp shares, consisting of 200,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, 20,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares and 1,000,000 TortoiseCorp Preference Shares.

See Article 29 of the Existing Organizational Documents.	The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation provides that, subject to the rights of any New Volta Preferred Stock, directors on the New Volta Board may only be removed for cause and by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares entitled to vote in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. See Article VI of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation.
Adoption of Supermajority Vote Requirement to Amend the Proposed Organizational Documents (Proposal 4D)	The Existing Organizational Documents provide that amendments may be made by a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the Ordinary Shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at a general meeting. See Article 18.3 of the Existing Organizational Documents.	The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation requires the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of New Volta entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, to (a) adopt, amend or repeal the Proposed Bylaws, and to (b) amend or repeal or adopt any provision inconsistent with Sections 1.2 and 2 of Article IV, or Article V, Article VI, Article VIII, Article IX, Article X, or Article XI or Section 1 of Article XII of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation (provided that if two-thirds of the New Volta Board approved such adoption, amendment or repeal of the Proposed Organizational Documents, then only the affirmative vote of the majority of the holders of the outstanding shares will be required). The New Volta Board will also have the power to adopt, amend or repeal the Proposed Bylaws by the approval of a majority of the total number of authorized directors. See Article VIII and Article XII of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation.

174

	Existing Organizational Documents	Proposed Organizational Documents
Exclusive Forum Provision (Proposal 4E)	The Existing Organizational Documents do not contain a provision adopting an exclusive forum for certain shareholder litigation.	Under the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, unless New Volta consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if and only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks subject matter jurisdiction, any state court located within the State of Delaware or, if and only if all such state courts lack subject matter jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) will be the sole and exclusive forum for the following types of actions or proceedings under Delaware statutory or common law: (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of New Volta; (b) any action or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer or other employee of New Volta or any stockholder to New Volta or New Volta’s stockholders; (c) any action or proceeding asserting a claim against New Volta or any current or former director, officer or other employee of New Volta or any stockholder in such stockholder’s capacity as such arising out of or pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation or the Proposed Bylaws of New Volta (as each may be amended from time to time); (d) any action or proceeding to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation or the Proposed Bylaws of New Volta; (e) any action or proceeding as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; and (f) any action asserting a claim against New Volta or any director, officer or other employee of New Volta or any stockholder, governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in all cases to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. This provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Unless New Volta consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. See Article X of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation.
Action by Written Consent of Stockholders (Proposal 4F)	The Existing Organizational Documents provide that a resolution in writing signed by all of the shareholders entitled to vote at general meetings shall be as valid and effective as if the same had been passed at a duly convened and held general meeting. See Article 22.3 of the Existing Organizational Documents.	The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation provides that, subject to the rights of any New Volta Preferred Stock then outstanding, any action required or permitted to be taken by New Volta’s stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of such stockholders and may not be effected by written consent of the stockholders.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4A — Authorized Shares

TortoiseCorp’s shareholders are being asked to approve and adopt an amendment to the Existing Organizational Documents to authorize the change in the authorized share capital of TortoiseCorp from (a) 200,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, 20,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares and 1,000,000 TortoiseCorp Preference Shares to (b) 400,000,000shares of New Volta Common Stock and 10,000,000shares of New Volta Preferred Stock.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are 43,125,000 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, which includes an aggregate of 8,625,000 Class B Ordinary Shares held by the initial shareholders, including our Sponsor. In addition, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there is outstanding an aggregate of 14,558,333 warrants to acquire Ordinary Shares, comprised of 5,933,333 private placement warrants held by Tortoise Borrower and 8,625,000 public warrants.

As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication, prior to the Effective Time: (a) each then issued and outstanding Class A Ordinary Share and each then issued and outstanding Class B Ordinary Share will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of New Volta Class A Common Stock; (b) each then issued and outstanding TortoiseCorp Warrant will convert automatically into a New Volta Warrant pursuant to the Warrant Agreement; and (c) each then issued and outstanding TortoiseCorp Unit will convert automatically into a New Volta Unit, each consisting of one share of New Volta Class A Common Stock and one-fourth of one New Volta Warrant.

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, at the closing of the Business Combination, each outstanding share of Volta Class B Common Stock, including each share of Volta Preferred Stock that will be converted into shares of Volta Class B Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, but excluding shares of Volta Restricted Stock, will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive the number of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, equal to the applicable exchange

176

ratio (determined in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement); (b) each share of Volta Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding shares of Volta Restricted Stock) will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive the number of shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock equal to the applicable exchange ratio (determined in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement); (c) each warrant to purchase shares of Volta Preferred Stock or Volta Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into a warrant to acquire a number of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock based on the applicable exchange ratio and at a specified price (each determined in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement); (d) each award of Volta Restricted Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into New Volta Restricted Stock with respect to a number of restricted shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Class B Common Stock, as applicable, based on the applicable exchange ratio (determined in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement); and (e) each option to purchase shares of Volta Class A Common Stock or Volta Class B Common Stock, whether or not exercisable and whether or not vested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will automatically be converted into a New Volta Option to purchase a number of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Class B Common Stock, as applicable, based on the applicable exchange ratio (determined in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement).

In order to ensure that New Volta has sufficient authorized capital for future issuances, the TortoiseCorp Board has approved, subject to shareholder approval, that the Proposed Organizational Documents of New Volta increase the total number of authorized shares of all classes of capital stock to 410,000,000shares, consisting of 350,000,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, 50,000,000shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock and 10,000,000shares of New Volta Preferred Stock.

Such amendment further provides that, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation or by applicable law, each holder of New Volta Class A Common Stock shall have the right to one vote per share of New Volta Class A Common Stock held of record by such holder and each holder of New Volta Class B Common Stock shall have the right to ten votes per share of New Volta Class B Common Stock held of record by such holder.

Such exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

Unless New Volta consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act.

All shareholders are encouraged to read the Proposed Organizational Documents in their entirety for a more complete description of their terms.

Reasons for Amendments

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4A — Authorized Shares

The principal purpose of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4A is to provide for an authorized capital structure of New Volta that will enable it to continue as an operating company governed by DGCL. The TortoiseCorp Board believes that it is important for New Volta to have available for issuance a number of authorized shares of New Volta Common Stock and New Volta Preferred Stock sufficient to support its growth and to provide flexibility for future corporate needs.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4B — Voting Power

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will have beneficial ownership of more than 83.3% of the outstanding shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, and such shares are generally restricted from transfers, except in limited circumstances. Under the Proposed Organizational Documents, holders of New Volta Class B Common Stock will be entitled to ten votes per share of New Volta Class B Common Stock. This provides Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel with the ability to control the outcome of matters requiring stockholder approval. The TortoiseCorp Board believes that New Volta’s success rests on its ability to undertake a long-term view, and Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel’s controlling interest will enhance New Volta’s ability to focus on long-term value creation and help insulate New Volta from short-term outside influences. Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel’s voting power also provides New Volta with flexibility to employ various financing and transaction strategies involving the issuance of equity securities, while maintain their control.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4C — Director Removal

The Existing Organizational Documents provide that before an Initial Business Combination, holders of Class B Ordinary Shares may remove any director, and that after an Initial Business Combination, shareholders may

179

by an ordinary resolution remove any director. Under the DGCL, unless a company’s certificate of incorporation provides otherwise, a director may be removed only for cause if a company has a classified board. The Proposed Organizational Documents provide that directors may only be removed for cause and by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of then-outstanding shares entitled to vote in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. The TortoiseCorp Board believes that such a standard will (a) increase board continuity and the likelihood that experienced board members with familiarity of New Volta’s business operations would serve on the New Volta Board at any given time and (b) make it more difficult for a potential acquiror or other person, group or entity to gain control of the New Volta Board.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4D — Adoption of Supermajority Vote Requirement to Amend the Proposed Organizational Documents

The Existing Organizational Documents provide that amendments may be made by a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of at least two-thirds of the Ordinary Shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote and actually casting votes thereon at a general meeting. The Proposed Organizational Documents require the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the voting power of the outstanding shares to (a) adopt, amend or repeal the Proposed Bylaws, and to (b) amend or repeal or adopt any provision inconsistent with Sections 1.2 and 2 of Article IV, or Article V, Article VI, Article VIII, Article IX, Article X, or Article XI or Section 1 of Article XII of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation. This is intended to protect the Proposed Bylaws and certain key provisions of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation from arbitrary amendment and to prevent a simple majority of stockholders from taking actions that may be harmful to other stockholders or making changes to provisions that are intended to protect all stockholders.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4E — Exclusive Forum Provision

Adopting Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation is intended to assist New Volta in avoiding multiple lawsuits in multiple jurisdictions regarding the same matter. The ability to require such claims to be brought in a single forum will help to assure consistent consideration of the issues, the application of a relatively known body of case law and level of expertise and should promote efficiency and cost-savings in the resolutions of such claims. The TortoiseCorp Board believes that the Delaware courts are best suited to address disputes involving such matters given that after the Domestication, New Volta will be incorporated in Delaware. Delaware law generally applies to such matters and the Delaware courts have a reputation for expertise in corporate law matters. Delaware offers a specialized Court of Chancery to address corporate law matters, with streamlined procedures and processes, which help provide relatively quick decisions. This accelerated schedule can minimize the time, cost and uncertainty of litigation for all parties. The Court of Chancery has developed considerable expertise with respect to corporate law issues, as well as a substantial and influential body of case law construing Delaware’s corporate law and long-standing precedent regarding corporate governance. This will provide New Volta and its stockholders with more predictability regarding the outcome of intra-corporate disputes. In the event the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the other state courts located in Delaware would be the most appropriate forums because these courts have more expertise on matters of Delaware law compared to other jurisdictions; provided, that these exclusive forum provisions will not apply to suits brought to enforce any cause of action arising under the Securities Act, any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act, or to any claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

In addition, this amendment would promote judicial fairness and avoid conflicting results, as well as make New Volta’s defense of applicable claims less disruptive and more economically feasible, principally by avoiding duplicative discovery.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4F — Action by Written Consent of Stockholders

Under the Proposed Organizational Documents, New Volta’s stockholders will have the ability to propose items of business (subject to the restrictions set forth therein) at duly convened stockholder meetings. Eliminating the right of stockholders to act by written consent limits the circumstances under which stockholders can act on their own initiative to remove directors, or alter or amend the Proposed Organizational Documents outside of a duly called special or annual meeting of the stockholders of New Volta. Further, the TortoiseCorp Board believes continuing to limit stockholders’ ability to act by written consent will reduce the time and effort the New Volta Board and New Volta’s management would need to devote to stockholder proposals, which time and effort could distract New Volta’s directors and management from other important company business.

180

In addition, the elimination of the stockholders’ ability to act by written consent may have certain anti-takeover effects by forcing a potential acquirer to take control of the New Volta Board only at a duly called special or annual meeting. However, this proposal is not in response to any effort of which TortoiseCorp is aware to obtain control of New Volta, and TortoiseCorp and its management do not presently intend to propose other anti-takeover measures in future proxy solicitations. Further, the TortoiseCorp Board does not believe that the effects of the elimination of stockholder action by written consent will create a significant impediment to a tender offer or other effort to take control of New Volta. Inclusion of these provisions in the Proposed Organizational Documents might also increase the likelihood that a potential acquirer would negotiate the terms of any proposed transaction with the New Volta Board and thereby help protect stockholders from the use of abusive and coercive takeover tactics.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4G — Corporate Name

The TortoiseCorp Board believes that changing TortoiseCorp’s corporate name from “Tortoise Acquisition Corp. II” to “Volta Inc.” is desirable to reflect the Business Combination with Volta and to clearly identify New Volta as the publicly traded entity.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4H — Perpetual Existence

The TortoiseCorp Board believes that making New Volta’s corporate existence perpetual is desirable since perpetual existence is the usual period of existence for corporations and it believes that it is the most appropriate period for New Volta following the Business Combination.

Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4I — Provisions Related to Status as a Blank Check Company

The TortoiseCorp Board believes that the elimination of certain provisions related to TortoiseCorp’s status as a blank check company is desirable because these provisions will serve no purpose following the Business Combination. For example, certain provisions in the Existing Organizational Documents require that proceeds from the IPO be held in the Trust Account until a business combination or liquidation of TortoiseCorp has occurred. These provisions cease to apply once the Business Combination is consummated and are therefore not included in the Proposed Organizational Documents.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of each of the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, each of which is a non-binding advisory vote, requires an ordinary resolution under the Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote (in person, online or by proxy) of a majority of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and actually casting votes thereon at the extraordinary general meeting, voting as a single class. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for purposes of establishing quorum, will not count as a vote cast at the extraordinary general meeting. Accordingly, failure to vote in person, online or by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting or an abstention from voting will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals.

The Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals are conditioned on the approval of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals will have no effect, even if approved by holders of the Ordinary Shares.

As discussed above, the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals are advisory votes and therefore are not binding on TortoiseCorp or the TortoiseCorp Board. Accordingly, regardless of the outcome of the non-binding advisory vote on the Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, TortoiseCorp intends that the Proposed Organizational Documents will take effect upon the Closing (assuming approval of the Organizational Documents Proposal).

Recommendation of the TortoiseCorp Board

THE TORTOISECORP BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT TORTOISECORP SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ADVISORY ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS PROPOSALS.

PROPOSAL NO. 5 — THE NYSE PROPOSAL

Overview

Assuming the Business Combination Proposal is approved, our shareholders are also being asked to approve (a) the issuance pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement of up to an aggregate of 144,365,276shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock and 4,562,259shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock to the Historical Rollover Shareholders in connection with the Business Combination and 43,125,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock to the TortoiseCorp shareholders in connection with the Domestication, (b) the issuance and sale of 30,000,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock in the Private Placement Financing, which shall occur substantially concurrently with, and is contingent upon, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, (c) the issuance of up to 20,712,774shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock that may be reserved for issuance in respect of New Volta Class A Options issued in exchange for outstanding Volta Options and in respect of New Volta Warrants issued in exchange for outstanding Volta Warrants and (d) the issuance of up to 6,869,640shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock that may be reserved for issuance in respect of New Volta Restricted Stock and New Volta Class B Options.

Why TortoiseCorp Needs Shareholder Approval

We are seeking shareholder approval in order to comply with Section 312.03(c) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.

Under Section 312.03(c) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of common stock, or of securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, in any transaction or series of related transactions if such securities are not issued in a public offering for cash and (a) have, or will have upon issuance, voting power equal to or in excess of 20% of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of such stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock; or (b) the number of shares of common stock to be issued is, or will be upon the issuance, equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance of the common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock. TortoiseCorp will issue shares representing 20% or more of the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares of TortoiseCorp prior to the issuance, or 20% or more of its voting power prior to the issuance, pursuant to the Domestication, Business Combination Agreement and the Private Placement Financing.

Effect of Proposal on Current Shareholders

If the NYSE Proposal is adopted, up to an aggregate of 174,365,276shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock and 11,431,899shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock may be issued in connection with the Domestication, Business Combination and the Private Placement Financing.

The issuance of the shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Class B Common Stock described above would result in significant dilution to our shareholders, and result in our shareholders having a smaller percentage interest in the voting power, liquidation value and aggregate book value of TortoiseCorp.

Resolution

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, for the purposes of complying with Section 312.03(c) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, that the issuance of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Class B Common Stock in connection with the Domestication, the Business Combination and the Private Placement Financing be approved.”

Vote Required for Approval

Approval of the NYSE Proposal requires the affirmative vote (in person, online or by proxy) of the holders of a majority of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and actually casting votes thereon at the extraordinary general meeting, voting as a single class. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while

182

considered present for purposes of establishing quorum, will not count as a vote cast at the extraordinary general meeting. Accordingly, failure to vote in person, online or by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting or an abstention from voting will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the NYSE Proposal.

The NYSE Proposal is conditioned on the approval of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, the NYSE Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of the Ordinary Shares.

Recommendation of the TortoiseCorp Board

THE TORTOISECORP BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT TORTOISECORP SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE NYSE PROPOSAL.

183

PROPOSAL NO. 6 — THE 2021 PLAN PROPOSAL

Overview

In this Proposal No. 6, we are asking our shareholders to approve the New Volta 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, which we refer to herein as the 2021 Plan. A total of 45,187,241shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock and 134,993shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock will initially be reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan. The TortoiseCorp Board approved the 2021 Plan on             , 2021, subject to stockholder approval at the extraordinary general meeting. If shareholders approve this proposal, the 2021 Plan will become effective on the consummation of the Business Combination. If the 2021 Plan is not approved by the shareholders, it will not become effective and no awards will be granted thereunder. The 2021 Plan is described in more detail below. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the 2021 Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex D.

The 2021 Plan is intended to be a continuation of the Volta Option Plan, which will be assumed in the Business Combination and amended, restated and re-named into the form of the 2021 Plan effective as of the Closing Date. If the 2021 Plan becomes effective, then no additional stock awards will be granted under the Volta Option Plan as in effect immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, although all outstanding stock awards granted under the Volta Option Plan as in effect immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination will continue to be subject to the terms and conditions as set forth in the agreements evidencing such stock awards and the terms of the applicable plan.

The material terms of the 2021 Plan are summarized below. The key differences between the terms of the 2021 Plan and the terms of the Volta Option Plan are as follows:

•        Subject to capitalization adjustments and the share counting provisions described below, a total of 45,187,241 New Volta Class A Common Stock and 134,993 New Volta Class B Common Stock will initially be authorized for stock awards granted under the 2021 Plan (which amount is equal to 34,750,000 new shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock plus 10,437,241shares of Volta Class A Common Stock and 134,993shares of Volta Class B Common Stock that are available for issuance under the Volta Option Plan) as of March31, 2021.

•        The 2021 Plan provides for an automatic share reserve increase on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with the 2022 fiscal year through and including the first day of the 2031 fiscal year in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of the outstanding shares of New Volta Common Stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (ii) such number of shares determined by the New Volta Board.

•        The 2021 Plan permits the grant of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and stock bonus awards.

•        Under the 2021 Plan, no outside director may receive awards under the 2021 Plan with a total grant date fair value that, when combined with cash compensation received for service as an outside director, exceeds (i) $750,000 in total value for any outside director, except with respect to the first year of service in which case any equity awards granted and cash fees paid will not exceed $1,000,000 in total value.

•        The 2021 Plan provides that all stock awards granted thereunder will be subject to recoupment in accordance with any New Volta policy or as necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable laws.

Reasons to Approve the 2021 Plan

As of March31, 2021, a total of no shares of Volta Class A Common Stock and 1,105,231shares of Volta Class B Common Stock remained available for future grants under the Volta Option Plan (1,332,024shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock and no shares of New Volta Class B Common on a post-exchange basis). We believe that the current share reserve of the Volta Option Plan is insufficient to meet New Volta’s future needs with respect to attracting, motivating and retaining key executives and employees and non-employee directors in a competitive market for talent. The share discussion below is presented on a pre-exchange ratio basis, which is assumed to be

184

1.2052 New Volta shares for every Volta share. In connection with the Business Combination, (i) Volta Class B Common Stock will be exchanged for New Volta Class A Common stock and (ii) Volta Class A Common Stock will be exchanged for New Volta Class B Common Stock, in each case, based on the exchange ratio in the prior sentence.

The table below shows the stock awards that were outstanding under the Volta Option Plan as of March31, 2021, each of which were granted in the form of stock options. As of             , 2021, the closing price of TortoiseCorp’s Class A Common Stock was $             per share as reported on the NYSE.

(3)      Calculated by dividing the sum of (i) the number of shares underlying outstanding awards and (ii) shares available for future awards, by the number of shares of Volta Common Stock outstanding, in each case at year-end.

Forward-Looking Statements

We do not as a matter of course make public forecasts as to our total shares of our capital stock outstanding and utilization of various equity awards due to the unpredictability of the underlying assumptions and estimates. In particular, the forecasts set forth in this Proposal No. 6 include embedded assumptions that are highly dependent on the public trading price of the New Volta Common Stock and other factors, which we do not control and, as a result, we do not as a matter of practice provide forecasts. These forecasts reflect various assumptions regarding New Volta’s future operations. The inclusion of the forecasts set forth above should not be regarded as an indication that these forecasts will be predictive of actual future outcomes, and the forecasts should not be relied upon as such.

The 2021 Plan Combines Compensation and Corporate Governance Best Practices

The 2021 Plan includes provisions that are designed to protect stockholders’ interests and reflect corporate governance best practices.

•        No Discounted Stock Options or SARs.    All stock options and SARs granted under the 2021 Plan must have an exercise or strike price equal to or greater than the fair market value of New Volta Common Stock on the date the stock option or SAR is granted, except in connection with certain exchange programs or corporate transactions, as discussed below.

•        No Reload Stock Options or SARs or Tax Gross-ups.    The 2021 Plan does not provide for reload stock options or SARs or tax gross-ups in any circumstance.

•        Limit on Non-Employee Director Awards.    As described above and below, no outside director may receive awards under the 2021 Plan with a total grant date fair value that, when combined with cash compensation received for service as an outside director, exceeds (i) $750,000 in total value for any outside director, except with respect to the first year of service in which case any equity awards granted and cash fees paid will not exceed $1,000,000 in total value.

185

•        Awards Subject to Clawback.    As described above and below, the 2021 Plan provides that all stock awards granted thereunder will be subject to recoupment in accordance with any New Volta policy or as necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable laws.

Description of the 2021 Plan

Set forth below is a summary of the material features of the 2021 Plan. The 2021 Plan is set forth in its entirety as Annex D to this proxy statement, and all descriptions of the 2021 Plan contained in this Proposal No. 6 are qualified by reference to Annex D.

Purpose

The 2021 Plan is intended to (i) attract and retain the best available personnel to ensure New Volta success and accomplish its goals, (ii) incentivize employees, directors and independent contractors of New Volta with long-term equity-based compensation to align their interests with stockholders’ and (iii) promote the success of New Volta’s business. The 2021 Plan is a continuation of the Volta Option Plan, which will be assumed from a subsidiary and amended, restated and re-named into the form of the 2021 Plan effective as of the consummation of the Business Combination.

Types of Stock Awards

The 2021 Plan permits the grant of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, SARs and stock bonus awards (all such types of awards, collectively, “stock awards”).

Share Reserve

Number of Shares

Subject to adjustments as set forth in the 2021 Plan, the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the 2021 Plan is 45,187,241shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock and 134,993shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock. The shares may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired shares. Furthermore, subject to adjustments as set forth in the 2021 Plan, in no event shall the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the 2021 Plan pursuant to Incentive Stock Options exceed the number set forth above plus, to the extent allowable under Section 422 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, any shares that again become available for issuance pursuant to the 2021 Plan.

The number of shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan will be automatically increased on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with the 2022 fiscal year through and including the first day of the 2031 fiscal year, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of the outstanding shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Class B Common Stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (ii) such smaller number of shares determined by the New Volta Board, with such shares to be shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock.

Lapsed Awards

To the extent a stock award expires or is forfeited or becomes unexercisable for any reason without having been exercised in full, or is surrendered pursuant to an exchange program (as set forth in the 2021 Plan), the unissued shares that were subject thereto shall continue to be available under the 2021 Plan for issuance pursuant to future stock awards. In addition, any shares that New Volta retains upon exercise or settlement of a stock award in order to satisfy the exercise or purchase price for such stock award or any withholding taxes due with respect to such stock award shall be treated as not issued and shall continue to be available under the 2021 Plan for issuance pursuant to future stock awards. Shares issued under the 2021 Plan and later forfeited to us due to the failure to vest or repurchased by New Volta at the original purchase price paid to it for the shares (including without limitation upon forfeiture to or repurchase by New Volta in connection with a participant ceasing to be a service provider) shall again be available for future grant under the 2021 Plan. To the extent a stock award under the 2021 Plan is paid out in cash rather than shares, such cash payment will not result in reducing the number of shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan.

186

Assumption or Substitution of Awards by the Company.

The Administrator (as defined below), from time to time, may determine to substitute or assume outstanding awards granted by another company, whether in connection with an acquisition of such other company or otherwise, by either: (a) assuming such award under the 2021 Plan or (b) granting an award under the 2021 Plan in substitution of such other company’s award. Any awards that are assumed or substituted under the 2021 Plan will not reduce the number of shares authorized for grant under the 2021 Plan or authorized for grant to a participant in any fiscal year.

Eligibility

Employees, directors and independent contractors of New Volta or its affiliates are all eligible to participate in the 2021 Plan. Incentive Stock Options may only be granted to employees. As of March31, 2021, for equity plan purposes, New Volta had a total of approximately six employees, approximately 35 consultants and five non-employee directors who would be eligible to be granted stock awards under the 2021 Plan.

Administration

The 2021 Plan will be administered by the New Volta Board or a committee thereof, which committee will be constituted to satisfy applicable laws (the “Administrator”). To the extent a participant is a person subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the transactions contemplated under the 2021 Plan will be structured to satisfy the requirements for exemption under Rule 16b-3.

Subject to the limitations set forth in the 2021 Plan, applicable laws and/or any applicable award agreement, the Administrator has the authority, in its discretion, to (i) determine the fair market value in accordance with the 2021 Plan; (ii) select the service providers to whom equity awards may be granted under the 2021 Plan; (iii) determine the number of shares to be covered by each equity award granted under the 2021 Plan; (iv) approve forms of equity award agreements for use under the 2021 Plan; (v) determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the 2021 Plan, of any equity award granted thereunder; (vi) institute and determine the terms and conditions of an exchange program under the terms of the 2021 Plan (subject to stockholder approval); (vii) construe and interpret the terms of the 2021 Plan and equity awards granted pursuant to the 2021 Plan; (viii) correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the 2021 Plan, any equity award or any equity award agreement; (ix) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the 2021 Plan; (x) modify or amend each equity award (subject to the terms of the 2021 Plan); (xi) adjust performance goals applicable to a participant with respect to an equity award to take into account changes in applicable laws or in accounting or tax rules, or such other extraordinary events or circumstances; (xii) allow participants to satisfy tax withholding obligations in such manner as prescribed in the 2021 Plan; (xiii) authorize any person to execute on our behalf any instrument required to effect the grant of an equity award previously granted by the Administrator; (xiv) allow a participant to defer the receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of shares that would otherwise be due to such participant under an equity award; and (xv) make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the 2021 Plan.

To the extent permitted by applicable law and listing requirements, the New Volta Board or a committee thereof may delegate all or any part of its authority and powers under the 2021 Plan to one or more of our officers.

Stock Options

Each stock option will be designated in the stock award agreement as either an incentive stock option (which is entitled to favorable tax treatment) or a nonstatutory stock option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate fair market value of the shares with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by the participant during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, such stock options will be treated as nonstatutory stock options. Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees of New Volta or the employees of its parent or subsidiary corporations.

The term of each stock option will be stated in the stock award agreement. In the case of an incentive stock option, the term will be 10 years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the stock award agreement. Moreover, in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a participant who owns stock representing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of New Volta stock or the stock of any of its parent or subsidiary corporations, the term of the incentive stock option will be five years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the stock award agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as of the last date

187

on which a stock option would otherwise be exercisable, a participant is prohibited by applicable law or written New Volta policy from engaging in an open-market sales of New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Class B Common Stock, the final exercise date of such stock option shall be automatically extended to the date that is 30 days following the date the participant is no longer prohibited from engaging in such open-market sales; provided the foregoing will not apply to the extent it would result in any incentive stock option from having a maximum term longer than specified above or would result in a violation of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”).

The per share exercise price for the shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of a stock option will be determined by the Administrator in an award agreement, subject to the following: in the case of an incentive stock option (i) granted to an employee who, at the time the incentive stock option is granted, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of New Volta stock or the stock of any of its parent or subsidiary corporations, the per share exercise price will be no less than 110% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant; and (ii) granted to any other employee, the per share exercise price will be no less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant. In the case of a nonstatutory stock option, the per share exercise price will be no less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, stock options may be granted with a per share exercise price of less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant pursuant to a corporate reorganization, liquidation, or other transaction, described in Section 424(a) of the Code.

At the time a stock option is granted, the Administrator will fix the period within which the stock option may be exercised and will determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the stock option may be exercised, subject to adjustment as set forth in the 2021 Plan or in an applicable award agreement. The Administrator will also determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising a stock option, including the method of payment, in an applicable award agreement.

If a participant ceases to be a service provider other than for “Cause,” (as defined in the 2021 Plan) the participant may exercise his or her stock option within such period of time as is specified in the stock award agreement to the extent that the stock option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such stock option). In the absence of a specified time in the stock award agreement, or as may be provided in any other written agreement between New Volta or any affiliate and the participant, to the extent vested as of a participant’s termination, the stock option will remain exercisable for 12months following a termination for death or disability, and 3months following a termination for any other reason other than Cause. Any outstanding stock option (including any vested portion thereof) held by a participant shall immediately terminate in its entirety upon the participant being first notified of his or her termination for Cause.

Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs)

The Administrator will determine the terms and conditions of each SAR, except that the exercise price for each SAR cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant, and such terms and conditions will be set forth in an applicable award agreement . Upon exercise of a SAR, a participant will receive payment from New Volta in an amount, if any, by which the fair market value of a share on the date of exercise exceeds the exercise price by the number of shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised. SARs may be paid in cash, shares of New Volta Common Stock or a combination thereof, as determined by the Administrator. SARs are exercisable at the times and on the terms established by the Administrator, which will be set forth in an applicable award agreement.

Restricted Stock and RSUs

Restricted stock awards are grants of shares of New Volta Common Stock that are subject to various restrictions, including restrictions on transferability and forfeiture provisions. Shares of restricted stock will vest and the restrictions on such shares will lapse in accordance with terms and conditions established by the Administrator. Each RSU is a bookkeeping entry representing an amount equal to the fair market value of one share of New Volta Common Stock.

In determining whether restricted stock or RSUs should be granted, and/or the vesting schedule for such a stock award, the Administrator may impose whatever conditions on vesting as it determines to be appropriate. For example, the Administrator may determine to grant restricted stock or RSUs only if performance goals established

188

by the Administrator are satisfied. Any performance goals may be applied on a Company-wide or an individual business unit basis, as determined by the Administrator. Please refer to the discussion below under “— Performance Goals” for more information.

During the period of restriction, participants holding restricted stock may exercise full voting rights and will be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid, in each case with respect to such shares unless the Administrator determines otherwise. If any such dividends or distributions are paid in shares, the shares will be subject to the same terms, including without limitation vesting and restrictions on transferability and forfeitability, as the restricted stock with respect to which they were paid.

During the vesting period, participants holding RSUs will hold no voting rights by virtue of such RSUs. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, award dividend equivalents in connection with the grant of RSUs that may be settled in cash, in shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof. Absent a contrary provision in an award agreement, such dividend equivalents will be subject to the same terms, restrictions and risk of forfeiture as the RSUs with respect to which the dividends accrue and shall not be settled unless and until the related RSUs have vested and been earned.

Stock Bonus Awards

A stock bonus award is an award of shares without a purchase price that is not subject to any restrictions. The Administrator will determine the number of shares to be awarded to the participant under a stock bonus award. A stock bonus award may be paid in cash, whole shares, or a combination thereof, based on the fair market value of the shares subject to the stock bonus award on the date of payment, as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator.

Performance Awards

The Administrator may grant options, SARs, restricted stock and RSUs that are subject to the satisfaction of specified performance criteria. The Administrator determines the terms surrounding performance awards, including the required levels of performance with respect to specified business criteria (including any adjustment(s) thereto that will be applied in determining the achievement of such performance criteria), the corresponding amounts payable upon achievement of such levels of performance, and the termination and forfeiture provisions; provided that all performance criteria must be determined when the achievement of such criteria remains substantially uncertain.

The Administrator in its discretion may make performance goals applicable to a participant with respect to an equity award. In the Administrator’s discretion, one or more of the following performance goals may apply: (1) sales or non-sales revenue; (2) return on revenues; (3) operating income; (4) income or earnings including operating income; (5) income or earnings before or after taxes, interest, depreciation and/or amortization; (6) income or earnings from continuing operations; (7) net income; (8) pre-tax income or after-tax income; (9) net income excluding amortization of intangible assets, depreciation and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets and/or excluding charges attributable to the adoption of new accounting pronouncements; (10) raising of financing or fundraising; (11) project financing; (12) revenue backlog; (13) gross margin; (14) operating margin or profit margin; (15) capital expenditures, cost targets, reductions and savings and expense management; (16) return on assets, return on investment, return on capital, or return on stockholder equity; (17) cash flow, free cash flow, cash flow return on investment, net cash provided by operations, or cash flow in excess of cost of capital; (18) performance warranty and/or guarantee claims; (19) stock price or total stockholder return; (20) earnings or book value per share; (21) economic value created; (22) pre-tax profit or after-tax profit; (23) strategic business criteria; (24) objective goals relating to divestitures, joint ventures, mergers, acquisitions and similar transactions; (25) objective goals relating to staff management, results from staff attitude and/or opinion surveys, staff satisfaction scores, staff safety, staff accident and/or injury rates, compliance, headcount, performance management, completion of critical staff training initiatives; (26) objective goals relating to projects; and (27) enterprise resource planning. Equity awards issued to participants may take into account other criteria (including subjective criteria).

Performance goals may differ from participant to participant, performance period to performance period and from equity award to equity award. Any criteria used may be measured, as applicable, (i) in absolute terms, (ii) in relative terms (including, but not limited to, any increase (or decrease) over the passage of time and/or any

189

measurement against other companies or financial or business or stock index metrics particular to us), (iii) on a per share and/or share per capita basis, (iv) against the performance of us as a whole or against any of our affiliate(s), or a particular segment(s), a business unit(s) or a product(s) of us or individual project company, (v) on a pre-tax or after-tax basis, (vi) on a U.S. GAAP or non-GAAP basis, and/or (vii) using an actual foreign exchange rate or on a foreign exchange neutral basis.

Outside Director Limitations

Equity awards granted during a single fiscal year under the 2021 Plan or otherwise, taken together with any cash fees paid during such fiscal year for services on the New Volta Board, will not exceed $750,000 in total value for any outside director, except with respect to the first year of service in which case any equity awards granted and cash fees paid will not exceed $1,000,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such equity awards, in each case, based on the grant date fair value of such equity awards for financial reporting purposes). Such applicable limit will include the value of any equity awards that are received in lieu of all or a portion of any annual committee cash retainers or other similar cash-based payments. Equity awards granted to an individual while he or she was serving in the capacity as an employee or while he or she was an independent contractor but not an outside director will not count for purposes of these limits.

Leaves of Absence/Transfer Between Locations

The Administrator has the discretion to determine in an applicable award agreement whether and to what extent the vesting of stock awards shall be suspended during any leave of absence. A participant will not cease to be an employee in the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by the participant’s employer or (ii) transfers between New Volta’s locations or between New Volta and any subsidiary. If an employee holds an incentive stock option and such leave exceeds 3months then, for purposes of incentive stock option status only, such employee’s service as an employee shall be deemed terminated on the first day following such three-month period and the incentive stock option shall thereafter automatically treated for tax purposes as a nonstatutory stock option in accordance with applicable laws, unless reemployment upon the expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or statute, or unless provided otherwise pursuant to a written company policy.

Nontransferability of Stock Awards

Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator or otherwise provided in an award agreement or other written agreement between New Volta or any of its affiliates and a participant, a stock award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the participant, only by the participant. If the Administrator makes a stock award transferable, such stock award will be subject such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate and provided in an applicable award agreement; provided, however, that in no event may any award be transferred for consideration to a third-party financial institution, unless otherwise provided in an award agreement or other applicable written agreement between New Volta or any of its affiliates and a participant.

Clawback/Recovery

The Administrator may specify in an equity award agreement that the participant’s rights, payments, and/or benefits with respect to an equity award will be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, and/or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any applicable vesting, performance or other conditions and restrictions of an equity award. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary under the 2021 Plan, an equity award granted under the 2021 Plan will be subject to any clawback policy to the extent such policy is adopted pursuant to, and consistent with the requirements of, applicable laws. The Administrator may require a participant to forfeit or return to and/or reimburse us for all or a portion of the equity award and/or shares issued under the equity award, any amounts paid under, or benefits provided pursuant to, the equity award, and any payments or proceeds paid or provided upon disposition of the shares issued under the equity award, pursuant to the terms of such company clawback policy or as necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable laws.

190

Adjustment

In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination, consolidation, recapitalization or reclassification of the shares, subdivision of the shares, a rights offering, a reorganization, merger, spin-off, split-up, repurchase, or exchange of the New Volta Common Stock or other securities of us or other significant corporate transaction, or other change affecting the New Volta Common Stock occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent dilution, diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the 2021 Plan, will, in such manner as it may deem equitable in its good faith discretion, adjust the number, kind and class of securities that may be delivered under the 2021 Plan and/or the number, class, kind and price of securities covered by each outstanding equity award; provided that all such adjustments will be made in a manner that does not result in taxation under Section 409A.

Dissolution or Liquidation

In the event of the proposed winding up, dissolution or liquidation of us, the Administrator will notify each participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. To the extent it has not been previously exercised or settled, an equity award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

Corporate Transaction

Except as otherwise provided in an applicable award agreement or other agreement with a participant that is binding upon New Volta, in the event of (i) a transfer of all or substantially all of our assets, (ii) a merger, consolidation or other capital reorganization or business combination transaction of us with or into another corporation, entity or person, (iii) the consummation of a transaction, or series of related transactions, in which any person becomes the beneficial owner directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of our then outstanding capital stock, or (iv) a “Change in Control” (as defined in the 2021 Plan) (each a “corporate transaction”), each outstanding equity award (vested or unvested) will be treated as the Administrator determines, which determination shall provide for one or more of the following: (a) the continuation of such outstanding equity awards (if we are the surviving corporation); (b) the assumption of such equity awards by the surviving corporation or its parent; (c) the substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent of new stock options or other equity awards for such equity awards that preserve the intrinsic value of such awards; (d) the cancellation of such equity awards in exchange for a payment to the participants equal to the excess of (1) the fair market value of the shares subject to such equity awards as of the closing date of such corporate transaction over (2) the exercise price or purchase price paid or to be paid (if any) for the shares subject to the equity awards (which payment may be subject to the same conditions that apply to the consideration that will be paid to holders of shares in connection with the transaction, subject to applicable law); (e) the full or partial acceleration of vesting, settlement, payment and/or expiration of such equity awards as of immediately prior to the corporate transaction; (f) the full or partial lapse of forfeiture, repurchase or re-acquisition rights with respect to shares previously acquired under such equity awards as of immediately prior to the corporate transaction; or (g) the opportunity for participants to exercise their outstanding stock options and/or stock appreciation rights prior to the occurrence of the corporate transaction and the termination of such outstanding, unexercised stock options and/or stock appreciation rights prior to the consummation of such corporate transaction for no consideration, but only if such right may be exercised by the participant by broker-assisted transaction or through net exercise and net tax withholding.

Change in Control

An equity award may be subject to additional acceleration of vesting, settlement, payment and/or expiration upon or after a Change in Control as may be provided in the equity award agreement for such equity award or as may be provided in any other written agreement between us or any of our affiliates and the participant, but in the absence of such provision, no such acceleration will occur unless approved by the Administrator.

Amendment, Termination and Duration of the 2021 Plan

If approved by our shareholders, the 2021 Plan will continue in effect for a term of 10 years measured from the date of approval by the board of directors, unless terminated earlier under the terms of the 2021 Plan. The Administrator may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the 2021 Plan pursuant to the listing standards of any national securities exchange or association on which New Volta securities are listed or as otherwise required by applicable law.

191

U.S. Federal Tax Aspects

The following generally summarizes the U.S. federal income tax consequences that will arise with respect to awards under the 2021 Plan, but it is not a detailed or complete description of all U.S. federal tax laws or regulations that may apply, and does not address any local, state or foreign laws. Therefore, no one should rely on this summary for individual tax compliance, planning or decisions. Participants in the 2021 Plan should consult their own professional tax advisors concerning tax aspects of awards under the 2021 Plan. Nothing in this proxy statement is written or intended to be used, and cannot be used, for the purposes of avoiding taxpayer penalties. The discussion below concerning tax deductions that may become available to us under U.S. federal tax law is not intended to imply that we will necessarily obtain a tax benefit or asset from those deductions. Taxation of equity-based payments in other countries is complex, does not generally correspond to federal tax laws, and is not covered by the summary below. This summary is based on the tax laws in effect as of the date of this proxy statement. Changes to these laws could alter the tax consequences described below.

A participant who receives a stock option or SAR will not have taxable income upon the grant of the stock option or SAR. For stock options, other than incentive stock options, and SARs the participant will recognize ordinary income upon exercise in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares over the exercise price — the appreciation value — on the date of exercise. Any gain or loss recognized upon any later disposition of the shares generally will be capital gain or loss.

The purchase of shares upon exercise of an incentive stock option will not result in any taxable income to the participant, except for purposes of the alternative minimum tax. Gain or loss recognized by the participant on a later sale or other disposition of the shares will either be long-term capital gain or loss or ordinary income depending upon whether the participant holds the shares transferred upon exercise for a specified period. Any ordinary income recognized will be in the amount, if any, by which the lesser of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise or the amount realized from the sale exceeds the stock option price.

A participant who receives restricted stock will not have taxable income upon grant, but will generally be taxed upon vesting unless the participant elects to be taxed at the time of grant of restricted stock. Absent such election, the participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares at the time of vesting.

A participant who receives RSUs, performance units, performance shares, other stock-based awards or other cash-based awards will not have taxable income upon grant of the award; instead the participant will generally be taxed upon vesting. The participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares or the amount of cash received by the participant. In addition, Section 409A imposes certain restrictions on deferred compensation arrangements. Stock awards that are treated as deferred compensation under Section 409A are intended to meet the requirements of this section of the Code.

The Administrator may, at its discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, permit a participant to satisfy such withholding or deduction obligations or any other tax-related items, in whole or in part by (without limitation) paying cash, electing to have New Volta withhold otherwise deliverable shares or cash (including, without limitation, withholding cash from the proceeds of a sale of shares subject to an Award), or delivering to New Volta already-owned shares, or such other method as may be set forth in an award agreement; provided that, unless the Administrator permits otherwise, any proceeds derived from a cashless exercise must be an approved broker-assisted cashless exercise or the cash or shares withheld or delivered must be limited to avoid financial accounting charges under applicable accounting guidance or shares must have been previously held for the minimum duration required to avoid financial accounting charges under applicable accounting guidance. The fair market value of the shares to be withheld or delivered will be determined as based on such methodology that we deem to be reasonable and in accordance with applicable laws.

New Volta will be entitled to a tax deduction in connection with a stock award under the 2021 Plan only in an amount equal to the ordinary income realized by the participant and at the time the participant recognizes the income. Section 162(m) places a limit of $1million on the amount of compensation that New Volta may deduct as a business expense in any year with respect to certain of New Volta’s most highly paid executive officers. While the Administrator considers the deductibility of compensation as one factor in determining executive compensation, the Administrator retains the discretion to award and pay compensation that is not deductible as it believes that it is

192

in the best interests of shareholders to maintain flexibility in New Volta’s approach to executive compensation and to structure a program that New Volta consider to be the most effective in attracting, motivating and retaining key employees.

New Plan Benefits

The 2021 Plan does not provide for set benefits or amounts of awards and we have not approved any equity awards that are conditioned on stockholder approval of the Volta Option Plan. The following table summarizes certain equity awards committed pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, which have not been granted and are subject to approval of the New Volta Board. All other future awards to directors, executive officers, employees and consultants under the 2021 Plan are discretionary and cannot be determined at this time.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the 2021 Plan Proposal requires the affirmative vote (in person, online or by proxy) of the holders of a majority of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and actually casting votes thereon at the extraordinary general meeting, voting as a single class. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for purposes of establishing quorum, will not count as a vote cast at the extraordinary general meeting.

PROPOSAL NO. 7 — THE FOUNDER PLAN PROPOSAL

Overview

In this Proposal No. 7, we are asking our shareholders to approve the New Volta Founder Incentive Plan, which we refer to herein as the Founder Plan. A total of 10,500,000shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock will initially be reserved for issuance under the Founder Plan. The TortoiseCorp Board approved the Founder Plan on             , 2021, subject to stockholder approval at the extraordinary general meeting. If shareholders approve this proposal, the Founder Plan will become effective on the consummation of the Business Combination. If the Founder Plan is not approved by the shareholders, it will not become effective and no awards will be granted thereunder. The Founder Plan is described in more detail below. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Founder Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex E. The material terms of the Founder Plan are summarized below.

Description of the Founder Plan

Set forth below is a summary of the material features of the Founder Plan. The Founder Plan is set forth in its entirety as Annex E to this proxy statement, and all descriptions of the Founder Plan contained in this Proposal No. 7 are qualified by reference to Annex E.

Purpose

The Founder Plan is intended to (i) retain Christopher Wendel and Scott Mercer (together, the “Founders”) to ensure New Volta success and accomplish its goals, (ii) incentivize the Founders with equity-based compensation to align their interests with stockholders’, and (iii) promote the success of New Volta’s business.

Types of Stock Awards

The Founder Plan permits the grant of restricted stock units (“RSUs” or “stock award”).

Share Reserve

Number of Shares

The maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the Founder Plan is 10,500,000shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock. The shares may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired shares.

Lapsed Awards

To the extent a stock award expires or is forfeited, the unissued shares that were subject thereto shall no longer be available under the Founder Plan for issuance pursuant to future stock awards. In addition, any shares that New Volta retains in order to satisfy any withholding taxes due with respect to such stock award shall be treated as issued and shall no longer be available under the Founder Plan for issuance pursuant to future stock awards. Shares issued under the Founder Plan and later forfeited to us due to the failure to vest (including without limitation upon forfeiture to New Volta in connection with a participant ceasing to be a service provider) shall no longer be available for future grant under the Founder Plan. To the extent a stock award under the Founder Plan is paid out in cash rather than shares, such cash payment will result in reducing the number of shares available for issuance under the Founder Plan.

Eligibility

Each of the two Founders is eligible to participate in the Founder Plan. No other individual is eligible to participate in the Founder Plan.

195

Administration

The Founder Plan will be administered by the New Volta Board or a committee thereof, which committee will be constituted to satisfy applicable laws (the “Administrator”). The transactions contemplated under the Founder Plan will be structured to satisfy the requirements for exemption under Rule 16b-3.

Subject to the limitations set forth in the Founder Plan, applicable laws and/or any applicable equity award agreement, the Administrator has the authority, in its discretion, to (i) determine the fair market value in accordance with the Founder Plan; (ii) determine the number of shares to be covered by each equity award granted under the Founder Plan, provided that each Founder will be granted an initial equity award covering 5,250,000shares effective as soon as practicable after the closing of the Business Combination; (iii) approve forms of equity award agreements for use under the Founder Plan; (iv) determine the terms and conditions, consistent with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and not inconsistent with the terms of the Founder Plan, of any equity award granted thereunder; (v) construe and interpret the terms of the Founder Plan and equity awards granted pursuant to the Founder Plan; (vi) correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Founder Plan, any equity award or any equity award agreement; (vii) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Founder Plan; (viii) modify or amend each equity award (subject to the terms of the Founder Plan); (ix) allow participants to satisfy tax withholding obligations in such manner as prescribed in the Founder Plan; (x) authorize any person to execute on our behalf any instrument required to effect the grant of an equity award previously granted by the Administrator; (xi) allow a participant to defer the receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of shares that would otherwise be due to such participant under an equity award; and (xii) make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Founder Plan.

To the extent permitted by applicable law and listing requirements, the New Volta Board or a committee thereof may delegate all or any part of its authority and powers under the Founder Plan to one or more of our officers.

RSUs

Each RSU is a bookkeeping entry representing an amount equal to the fair market value of one share of New Volta Common Stock.

RSUs granted under the Founder Plan and the terms thereof, including the number of RSUs subject to such grant and the vesting schedule for such grant, will be evidenced by an award agreement.

During the vesting period, participants holding RSUs will hold no voting rights by virtue of such RSUs. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, award dividend equivalents in connection with the grant of RSUs that may be settled in cash, in shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof. Absent a contrary provision in an award agreement, such dividend equivalents will be subject to the same terms, restrictions and risk of forfeiture as the RSUs with respect to which the dividends accrue and shall not be settled unless and until the related RSUs have vested and been earned.

Leaves of Absence/Transfer Between Locations

The Administrator has the discretion to determine in an applicable award agreement whether and to what extent the vesting of stock awards shall be suspended during any leave of absence. A participant will not cease to be an employee in the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by the participant’s employer or (ii) transfers between New Volta’s locations or between New Volta and any subsidiary.

Nontransferability of Stock Awards

Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator or otherwise provided in an award agreement or other written agreement between New Volta or any of its affiliates and a Founder, a stock award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the participant, only by the participant. If the Administrator

196

makes a stock award transferable, such stock award will be subject to such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate and provided in an applicable award agreement; provided, however, that in no event may any award be transferred for consideration to a third-party financial institution, unless otherwise provided in an award agreement or other applicable written agreement between New Volta or any of its affiliates and a Founder.

Clawback/Recovery

The Administrator may specify in an equity award agreement that the participant’s rights, payments, and/or benefits with respect to an equity award will be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, and/or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any applicable vesting, performance or other conditions and restrictions of an equity award. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary under the Founder Plan, an equity award granted under the Founder Plan will be subject to any clawback policy to the extent such policy is adopted pursuant to, and consistent with the requirements of, applicable laws. The Administrator may require a participant to forfeit or return to and/or reimburse us for all or a portion of the equity award and/or shares issued under the equity award, any amounts paid under, or benefits provided pursuant to, the equity award, and any payments or proceeds paid or provided upon disposition of the shares issued under the equity award, pursuant to the terms of such company clawback policy or as necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable laws.

Adjustment

In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination, consolidation, recapitalization or reclassification of the shares, subdivision of the shares, a rights offering, a reorganization, merger, spin-off, split-up, repurchase, or exchange of the New Volta Common Stock or other securities of us or other significant corporate transaction, or other change affecting the New Volta Common Stock occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent dilution, diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Founder Plan, will, in such manner as it may deem equitable in its good faith discretion, adjust the number, kind and class of securities that may be delivered under the Founder Plan and/or the number, class and kind of securities covered by each outstanding equity award; provided that all such adjustments will be made in a manner that does not result in taxation under Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”).

Dissolution or Liquidation

In the event of the proposed winding up, dissolution or liquidation of us, the Administrator will notify each participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. To the extent it has not been previously settled, an equity award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

Corporate Transaction

Except as otherwise provided in an applicable award agreement or other agreement with a participant that is binding upon New Volta, in the event of (i) a transfer of all or substantially all of our assets, (ii) a merger, consolidation or other capital reorganization or business combination transaction of us with or into another corporation, entity or person, (iii) the consummation of a transaction, or series of related transactions, in which any person becomes the beneficial owner directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of our then outstanding capital stock, or (iv) a “Change in Control” (as defined in the Founder Plan), each outstanding equity award (vested or unvested) will be treated as the Administrator determines, which determination shall provide for one or more of the following: (a) the continuation of such outstanding equity awards (if we are the surviving corporation); (b) the assumption of such equity awards by the surviving corporation or its parent; (c) the substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent of new equity awards for such equity awards that preserve the intrinsic value of such awards; (d) the cancellation of such equity awards in exchange for a payment to the participants equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares subject to such equity awards as of the closing date of such corporate transaction (which payment may be subject to the same conditions that apply to the consideration that will be paid to holders of shares in connection with the transaction, subject to applicable law); or (e) the full or partial acceleration of vesting, settlement, payment and/or expiration of such equity awards.

197

Change in Control

An equity award may be subject to additional acceleration of vesting, settlement, payment and/or expiration upon or after a Change in Control as may be provided in the equity award agreement for such equity award or as may be provided in any other written agreement between us or any of our affiliates and the participant, but in the absence of such provision, no such acceleration will occur unless approved by the Administrator.

Amendment, Termination and Duration of the Founder Plan

If approved by our shareholders, the Founder Plan will continue in effect for a term of 10 years measured from the date of approval by the board of directors, unless terminated earlier under the terms of the Founder Plan. The Administrator may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Founder Plan pursuant to the listing standards of any national securities exchange or association on which New Volta securities are listed or as otherwise required by applicable law.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Aspects

The following generally summarizes the U.S. federal income tax consequences that will arise with respect to awards under the Founder Plan, but it is not a detailed or complete description of all U.S. federal tax laws or regulations that may apply, and does not address any local, state or foreign laws. Therefore, no one should rely on this summary for individual tax compliance, planning or decisions. Participants in the Founder Plan should consult their own professional tax advisors concerning tax aspects of awards under the Founder Plan. Nothing in this proxy statement is written or intended to be used, and cannot be used, for the purposes of avoiding taxpayer penalties. The discussion below concerning tax deductions that may become available to us under U.S. federal tax law is not intended to imply that we will necessarily obtain a tax benefit or asset from those deductions. Taxation of equity-based payments in other countries is complex, does not generally correspond to federal tax laws, and is not covered by the summary below. This summary is based on the tax laws in effect as of the date of this proxy statement. Changes to these laws could alter the tax consequences described below.

A participant who receives RSUs will not have taxable income upon grant of the award; instead the participant will generally be taxed upon vesting. The participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares or the amount of cash received by the participant. In addition, Section 409A of the Code imposes certain restrictions on deferred compensation arrangements. Stock awards that are treated as deferred compensation under Section 409A are intended to meet the requirements of this section of the Code.

The Administrator may, at its discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time (but subject to any limitations set forth in an applicable Award Agreement), permit a participant to satisfy such withholding or deduction obligations or any other tax-related items, in whole or in part by (without limitation) paying cash, electing to have New Volta withhold otherwise deliverable shares or cash (including, without limitation, withholding cash from the proceeds of a sale of shares subject to an Award), or delivering to New Volta already-owned shares, or such other method as may be set forth in an award agreement. The fair market value of the shares to be withheld or delivered will be determined as based on such methodology that we deem to be reasonable and in accordance with applicable laws.

New Volta will be entitled to a tax deduction in connection with a stock award under the Founder Plan only in an amount equal to the ordinary income realized by the participant and at the time the participant recognizes the income. Section 162(m) places a limit of $1million on the amount of compensation that New Volta may deduct as a business expense in any year with respect to certain of New Volta’s most highly paid executive officers. While the Administrator considers the deductibility of compensation as one factor in determining executive compensation, the Administrator retains the discretion to award and pay compensation that is not deductible as it believes that it is in the best interests of stockholders to maintain flexibility in New Volta’s approach to executive compensation and to structure a program that New Volta consider to be the most effective in attracting, motivating and retaining key employees.

198

PROPOSAL NO. 8 — THE ESPP PROPOSAL

Overview

In this Proposal No. 8, we are asking our shareholders to approve the New Volta 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which we refer to herein as the ESPP. A total of 3,715,944shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock will initially be reserved for issuance under the ESPP. The TortoiseCorp Board approved the ESPP on            , 2021, subject to shareholders approval at the extraordinary general meeting. If shareholders approve this proposal, the ESPP will become effective on the consummation of the business combination. If the ESPP is not approved by the shareholders, it will not become effective and no awards will be granted thereunder. The ESPP is described in more detail below. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the ESPP, a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex F.

Description of the ESPP

Purpose

The ESPP provides a means by which eligible employees and/or eligible service providers of either New Volta or one of its affiliates may be given an opportunity to purchase shares New Volta Class A Common Stock. The ESPP will permit New Volta to grant a series of purchase rights to eligible employees and/or eligible service providers. By means of the ESPP, New Volta will seek to retain and assist New Volta affiliates in retaining the services of such eligible employees and eligible service providers, to secure and retain the services of new eligible employees and eligible service providers and to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for New Volta’s success and that of its affiliates. As of March31, 2021, approximately 165 Volta employees and approximately 35 other Volta service providers are eligible to participate in the ESPP.

The ESPP includes two components: a “423 Component” and a “Non 423 Component.” The 423 Component is intended to qualify as an Employee Stock Purchase Plan pursuant to Section 423 of the Code. The provisions of the 423 Component will be construed in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code, including without limitation to extend and limit ESPP participation in a uniform and non-discriminating basis. In addition, the ESPP authorizes grants of purchase rights under the Non-423 Component that do not meet the requirements of an Employee Stock Purchase Plan under Section 423 of the Code. Except as otherwise provided in the ESPP or determined by the New Volta Board, the Non-423 Component will operate and be administered in the same manner as the 423 Component. Eligible employees will be able to participate in the 423 Component or Non-423 Component of the ESPP. Eligible service providers (who are not eligible employees) will only be able to participate in the Non-423 Component of the ESPP.

Administration

The New Volta Board administers the ESPP and has the final power to construe and interpret both the ESPP and the rights granted under it. Further, the New Volta Board has the power, subject to the provisions of the ESPP and applicable laws, to determine when and how rights to purchase New Volta Class A Common Stock will be granted, the provisions of each offering of such rights (which need not be identical), and whether any employee or other service provider will be eligible to participate in the ESPP.

The New Volta Board has the power to delegate administration of the ESPP to a committee composed of not fewer than one member of the New Volta Board. As used herein with respect to the ESPP, the term “New Volta Board” refers to any committee the New Volta Board appoints, and to the New Volta Board. Whether or not the New Volta Board has delegated administration of the ESPP to a committee, the New Volta Board will have the final power to determine all questions of policy and expediency that may arise in the administration of the ESPP.

Stock Subject to the ESPP

Subject to adjustments as provided in the ESPP, the maximum number of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock that may be issued under the ESPP will not exceed 3,715,944shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock. If any purchase right granted under the ESPP terminates without having been exercised in full, the shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock not purchased under such purchase right will again become available for issuance under the ESPP.

200

Offerings

The ESPP is implemented by offerings of rights to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock to all eligible employees and eligible service providers from time to time. Offerings may comprise one or more purchase periods. The maximum length for an offering under the ESPP is 27months. The provisions of separate offerings need not be identical. When a participant elects to join an offering, he or she is granted a purchase right to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock on each purchase date within the offering, each corresponding to the end of a purchase period within such offering. On each purchase date, all payroll deductions collected from the participant during such purchase period are automatically applied to the purchase of New Volta Class A Common Stock, subject to certain limitations.

Eligibility

Purchase rights may be granted only to New Volta employees, employees of qualifying related corporations or, solely with respect to the Non-423 Component, employees of a New Volta affiliate (other than a qualifying related corporation) or eligible service providers. The New Volta Board may provide that employees will not be eligible to be granted purchase rights under the ESPP if, on the offering date, the employee (i) has not completed at least two years of service since the employee’s last hire date (or such lesser period as the New Volta Board may determine), (ii) customarily works not more than 20 hours per week (or such lesser period as the New Volta Board may determine), (iii) customarily works not more than five months per calendar year (or such lesser period as the New Volta Board may determine), (iv) is a highly compensated employee within the meaning of the Code, or (v) has not satisfied such other criteria as the New Volta Board may determine consistent with Section 423 of the Code. Unless otherwise determined by the New Volta Board for any offering, an employee will not be eligible to be granted purchase rights unless, on the offering date, the employee has completed at least 3months of service since the employee’s last hire date and customarily works more than 20 hours per week and more than five months per calendar year.

No employee will be eligible for the grant of any purchase rights if, immediately thereafter, such employee owns stock possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of our stock or the stock of any related corporation. An eligible employee may be granted purchase rights only if such purchase rights, together with any other rights granted under all our and any related corporations’ Employee Stock Purchase Plans, do not permit such eligible employee’s rights to purchase stock to accrue in excess of $25,000 worth of stock in any calendar year.

Participation in the ESPP

On each offering date, each eligible employee or eligible service provider, pursuant to an offering made under the ESPP, will be granted a purchase right to purchase up to that number of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock purchasable either with a percentage of such employee’s earnings or with a maximum dollar amount, as designated by the New Volta Board; provided however, that in the case of eligible employees, such percentage or maximum dollar amount will in either case not exceed 15% of such employee’s earnings during the period that begins on the offering date (or such later date as the New Volta Board determines for a particular offering) and ends on the date stated in the offering, which date will be no later than the end of the offering, unless otherwise provided for in an offering.

Purchase Price

The purchase price of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock acquired pursuant to purchase rights will be not less than the lesser of (i) 85% of the fair market value of the shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock on the offering date; or (ii) 85% of the fair market value of the shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock on the applicable purchase date (i.e., the last day of the applicable purchase period).

Payment of Purchase Price; Payroll Deductions

The purchase price of the shares is accumulated by payroll deductions over the offering. To the extent permitted in the offering document, a participant may increase, reduce or terminate his or her payroll deductions. All payroll deductions made on behalf of a participant are credited to his or her account under the ESPP and deposited with New Volta general funds. To the extent permitted in the offering document, a participant may make

201

additional payments into such account. If required under applicable laws or regulations or if specifically provided in the offering, in addition to or instead of making contributions by payroll deductions, a participant may make contributions through a payment by cash, check, or wire transfer prior to a purchase date, in a manner New Volta directs.

Purchase of Stock

The New Volta Board will establish one or more purchase dates during an offering on which purchase rights granted for that offering will be exercised and shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock will be purchased in accordance with such offering. In connection with each offering, the New Volta Board may specify a maximum number of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock that may be purchased by any participant or all participants. If the aggregate purchase of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock issuable on exercise of purchase rights granted under the offering would exceed any such maximum aggregate number, then, in the absence of any New Volta Board action otherwise, a pro rata (based on each participant’s accumulated contributions) allocation of the shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock available will be made in as nearly a uniform manner as will be practicable and equitable.

Withdrawal

During an offering, a participant may cease making contributions and withdraw from the offering by delivering a withdrawal form. New Volta may impose a deadline before a purchase date for withdrawing. On such withdrawal, such participant’s purchase right in that offering will immediately terminate and New Volta will distribute as soon as practicable to such participant all of his or her accumulated but unused contributions without interest and such participant’s purchase right in that offering will then terminate. A participant’s withdrawal from that offering will have no effect on his or her eligibility to participate in any other offerings under the ESPP, but such participant will be required to deliver a new enrollment form to participate in subsequent offerings.

Termination of Employment

Purchase rights granted pursuant to any offering under the ESPP will terminate immediately if the participant either (i) is no longer an eligible employee or eligible service provider for any reason or for no reason, or (ii) is otherwise no longer eligible to participate. New Volta will have the exclusive discretion to determine when a participant is no longer actively providing services and the date of the termination of employment or service for purposes of the ESPP. As soon as practicable, New Volta will distribute to such individual all of his or her accumulated but unused contributions without interest.

Leave of Absence

A participant will not be deemed to have terminated employment or failed to remain continuously employed by us or a Designated Company (as defined in the ESPP) in the case of sick leave, military leave, or any other leave of absence approved by us; provided that such leave is for a period of not more than 3months or reemployment upon the expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or statute. We will have sole discretion to determine whether a participant has terminated employment and the effective date on which the participant terminated employment, regardless of any notice period or garden leave required under local law.

Employment Transfers

Unless otherwise determined by the New Volta Board, a participant whose employment transfers or whose employment terminates with an immediate rehire (with no break in service) by or between us and a Designated Company or between Designated Companies will not be treated as having terminated employment for purposes of participating in the ESPP or an offering; however, if a participant transfers from an offering under the 423 Component to an offering under the Non-423 Component, the exercise of the participant’s purchase right will be qualified under the 423 Component only to the extent such exercise complies with Section 423 of the Code. If a participant transfers from an offering under the Non-423 Component to an offering under the 423 Component, the exercise of the purchase right will remain non-qualified under the Non-423 Component. In the event that a participant’s purchase right is terminated under the ESPP, we will distribute as soon as practicable to such individual all of his or her accumulated but unused contributions without interest.

202

Restrictions on Transfer

During a participant’s lifetime, purchase rights will be exercisable only by such participant. Purchase rights are not transferable by a participant, except by will, by the laws of descent and distribution, or, if we so permit, by a beneficiary designation.

Exercise of Purchase Rights

On each purchase date, each participant’s accumulated contributions will be applied to the purchase of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, up to the maximum number of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock permitted by the ESPP and the applicable offering, at the purchase price specified in the offering. Unless otherwise specified in the offering, no fractional shares will be issued and, if any amount of accumulated contributions remains in a participant’s account after the purchase of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock on the final purchase date in an offering, such remaining amount will roll over to the next offering.

No purchase rights may be exercised to any extent unless and until the shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock to be issued on such exercise under the ESPP are covered by an effective registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act, and the ESPP is in material compliance with all applicable U.S. federal and state, foreign and other securities, exchange control, and other laws applicable to the ESPP. If, on the purchase date, as delayed to the maximum extent permissible, the shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock are not registered and the ESPP is not in material compliance with all applicable laws or regulations, no purchase rights will be exercised and all accumulated but unused contributions will be distributed as soon as practicable to the participants without interest.

Capitalization Adjustments

In the event of a capitalization adjustment, the New Volta Board will appropriately and proportionately adjust: (i) the classes and maximum number of securities subject to the ESPP, (ii) the classes and number of securities subject to, and the purchase price applicable to, outstanding offerings and purchase rights, and (iii) the classes and number of securities that are the subject of the purchase limits under each ongoing offering.

Dissolution or Liquidation

In the event of New Volta’s dissolution or liquidation, the New Volta Board will shorten any offering then in progress by setting a new purchase date prior to the consummation of such proposed dissolution or liquidation. The New Volta Board will notify each participant in writing, prior to the new purchase date that the purchase date for the participant’s purchase rights has been changed to the new purchase date and that such purchase rights will be automatically exercised on the new purchase date, unless prior to such date the participant has withdrawn from the offering.

Effect of Certain Corporate Transactions

In the event of:

•        a transfer of all or substantially all of New Volta’s assets;

•        a merger, consolidation or other capital reorganization or business combination transaction of our New Volta with or into another corporation, entity or person; or

•        the consummation of a transaction, or series of related transactions, in which any person becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of New Volta’s then outstanding capital stock;

any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation (or the surviving or acquiring corporation’s parent company) may assume or continue outstanding purchase rights or may substitute similar rights for outstanding purchase rights, or, if any surviving or acquiring corporation (or its parent company) does not assume or continue

203

such purchase rights or does not substitute similar rights for such purchase rights, then the participants’ accumulated contributions will be used to purchase shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock prior to the corporate transaction under the outstanding purchase rights, and the purchase rights will terminate immediately after such purchase. The New Volta Board will notify each participant in writing prior to the new purchase date that the purchase date for the participant’s purchase rights has been changed to the new purchase date and that such purchase rights will be automatically exercised on the new purchase date unless prior to such date the participant has withdrawn from the offering.

Spin-Off

In the event of a spin-off or similar transaction involving us, the New Volta Board may take actions deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with an ongoing offering and subject to compliance with applicable laws (including the assumption of purchase rights under an ongoing offering by the spun-off company, or shortening an offering and scheduling a new purchase date prior to the closing of such transaction). In the absence of any such action by the New Volta Board, a participant in an ongoing offering whose employer ceases to qualify as a related corporation as of the closing of a spin-off or similar transaction will be treated in the same manner as if the participant had terminated employment.

Amendment, Termination or Suspension of the ESPP

The New Volta Board may amend the ESPP at any time in any respect the New Volta Board deems necessary or advisable. However, except with respect to capitalization adjustments described above, stockholder approval will be required for any amendment of the ESPP for which stockholder approval is required by applicable laws, regulations or listing requirements, including any amendment that either (i) increases the number of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock available for issuance under the ESPP, (ii) expands the class of individuals eligible to become participants and receive purchase rights, (iii) materially increases the benefits accruing to participants under the ESPP or reduces the price at which shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock may be purchased under the ESPP, (iv) extends the term of the ESPP, or (v) expands the types of awards available for issuance under the ESPP, but in each case only to the extent stockholder approval is required by applicable laws, regulations, or listing requirements.

The New Volta Board may suspend or terminate the ESPP at any time. No purchase rights may be granted under the ESPP while the ESPP is suspended or after it is terminated.

Any benefits, privileges, entitlements, and obligations under any outstanding purchase rights granted before an amendment, suspension, or termination of the ESPP will not be materially impaired by any such amendment, suspension, or termination except (i) with the consent of the person to whom such purchase rights were granted, (ii) as necessary to comply with any laws, listing requirements, or governmental regulations, or (iii) as necessary to obtain or maintain any special tax, listing, or regulatory treatment.

Federal Income Tax Information

The following generally summarizes the U.S. federal income tax consequences that will arise with respect to participation in the ESPP and with respect to the sale of New Volta Class A Common Stock acquired under the ESPP, but it is not a detailed or complete description of all U.S. federal tax laws or regulations that may apply, and does not address any local, state or foreign laws. Therefore, no one should rely on this summary for individual tax compliance, planning or decisions. Participants in the ESPP should consult their own professional tax advisors concerning tax aspects of rights under the ESPP. Nothing in this proxy statement is written or intended to be used, and cannot be used, for the purposes of avoiding taxpayer penalties. The discussion below concerning tax deductions that may become available to us under U.S. federal tax law is not intended to imply that New Volta will necessarily obtain a tax benefit or asset from those deductions. Taxation of equity-based payments in other countries is complex,

204

does not generally correspond to federal tax laws, and is not covered by the summary below. This summary also assumes that the 423 Component complies with Code Section 423 and is based on the tax laws in effect as of the date of this proxy statement. Changes to these laws could alter the tax consequences described below.

As described above, the ESPP has a 423 Component and a Non-423 Component. The tax consequences for a U.S. taxpayer will depend on whether he or she participates in the 423 Component or the Non-423 Component.

423 Component

Rights granted under the 423 Component are intended to qualify for favorable federal income tax treatment associated with rights granted under an employee stock purchase plan which qualifies under the provisions of Section 423 of the Code. Under this component, a participant will be taxed on amounts withheld for the purchase of New Volta Class A Common Stock as if such amounts are actually received. Otherwise, no income will be taxable to a participant as a result of the granting or exercise of a purchase right until disposition of the acquired shares. The taxation upon disposition will depend upon the holding period of the acquired shares:

•        If the stock is disposed of more than two years after the beginning of the offering and more than one year after the stock is transferred to the participant, then the lesser of (i) the excess of the fair market value of the stock at the time of such disposition over the purchase price, or (ii) the excess of the fair market value of the stock as of the beginning of the offering over the purchase price (determined as of the beginning of the offering) will be treated as ordinary income. Any further gain or any loss will be taxed as a long-term capital gain or loss.

•        If the stock is sold or disposed of before the expiration of either of the holding periods described above, then the excess of the fair market value of the stock on the purchase date over the purchase price will be treated as ordinary income at the time of such disposition. The balance of any gain will be treated as capital gain. Even if the stock is later disposed of for less than its fair market value on the purchase date, the same amount of ordinary income is attributed to the participant, and a capital loss is recognized equal to the difference between the sales price and the fair market value of the stock on such purchase date.

Any compensation income that a participant receives upon sale of the New Volta Class A Common Stock that he or she purchased under the 423 Component is not subject to withholding for income, Medicare or social security taxes. Any capital gain or loss will be short-term or long-term, depending on how long the stock has been held.

Non-423 Component

Rights granted under the Non-423 Component are not intended to qualify for favorable federal income tax treatment associated with rights granted under an employee stock purchase plan which qualifies under the provisions of Section 423 of the Code. Under this component, a participant will have compensation income equal to the value of the New Volta Class A Common Stock on the day he or she purchases the New Volta Class A Common Stock, less the purchase price. When a participant sells the New Volta Class A Common Stock purchased under the ESPP, he or she also will have a capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the sales proceeds and the value of the Class A Common Stock on the day he or she purchased the stock. Any capital gain or loss will be short-term or long-term, depending on how long the stock has been held.

Any compensation income that a participant receives upon sale of the Class A Common Stock that he or she purchased under the Non-423 Component is subject to withholding for income, Medicare and social security taxes, as applicable.

Tax Consequences to New Volta

There are no federal income tax consequences to New Volta by reason of the grant or exercise of rights under the ESPP. New Volta is entitled to a deduction to the extent amounts are taxed as ordinary income to a participant (subject to the requirement of reasonableness and the satisfaction of tax reporting obligations).

205

New Plan Benefits

Participation in the ESPP is voluntary and each eligible employee will make his or her own decision whether and to what extent to participate in the ESPP. It is therefore not possible to determine the benefits or amounts that will be received in the future by individual employees or groups of employees under the ESPP.

Registration with the SEC

If the ESPP is approved by TortoiseCorp’s shareholders, New Volta intends to file a registration statement on Form S-8 registering the shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP as soon as reasonably practicable after New Volta becomes eligible to use such form.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the ESPP Proposal requires the affirmative vote (in person, online or by proxy) of the holders of a majority of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and actually cast thereon at the extraordinary general meeting, voting as a single class. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for purposes of establishing quorum, will not count as a vote cast at the extraordinary general meeting. Accordingly, failure to vote in person, online or by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting or an abstention from voting will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the ESPP Proposal.

The ESPP Proposal is conditioned on the approval of each of the Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is not approved, the ESPP Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of the Ordinary Shares.

Business Overview

Volta’s mission is to build the fueling infrastructure of the future. Volta’s vision is to create an EV charging network that capitalizes on and catalyzes the shift from combustion-powered miles to electric miles by placing stations in public locations that match the behavior and commerce of visitors to its host sites. By leveraging a data-driven understanding of driver behavior to deliver EV charging solutions that fit seamlessly into drivers’ daily routines, Volta’s goal is to benefit the entire ecosystem of drivers, brands and its commercial partners. As part of Volta’s unique EV charging offering, its charging stations allow it to enhance its site hosts’ and strategic partners’ core commercial interests, creating a new means for them to benefit from the transformative shift to electric mobility.

Volta’s business entails partnering with real estate and retail partners with national and regional multi-site portfolios of commercial and retail properties, as well as municipalities and local business owners, to locate and deploy its EV charging stations in premier locations. Similarly, Volta’s content partners benefit from access to these unique locations, reaching audiences when they are about to enter retail facilities As of December31, 2020, Volta had over 1,600 chargers across 23 territories and states that have generated over 140,000 charging sessions per month, forming one of the most utilized charging station networks in the United States.

Volta’s unique business model aims to maximize deployment of capital to deliver compelling value per unit and dollars per mile of capital invested. Volta’s current business model is capable of generating revenue from multiple sources, including: Behavior and Commerce, Network Development, Charging Network Operations and Network Intelligence.

•        Behavior and Commerce revenue is principally generated through delivery of content across the charging network by site and content partners.

•        Network Development revenue is generated by providing installation, operating and maintenance services, and sale of Volta’s charging products to select site hosts. Network Development revenue is also generated from contracts with utility companies for the sale of installed electrical infrastructure.

•        Charging Network Operations revenue is generated by utilization of the stations and through sales of LCFS credits.

•        Network Intelligence revenue consists of license or service fee revenue from proprietary software tools related to the charging station network. Volta offers access to the PredictEVTM tool to utility companies, channel partners and other third parties through a software-as-a-service offering (“SaaS”).

Executive Overview

Volta seeks to capitalize on the transformational EV market megatrends, while simultaneously leveraging a differentiated business model that provides a competitive advantage. Combining an understanding of the electric charging revolution, a sustained awareness of behavioral trends and advanced proprietary data software, Volta benefits from multiple revenue streams to diversify and enhance its financial performance.

Volta intends to continue to leverage its competitive strengths to scale its network of EV charging offerings and drive stakeholder value through the acceleration of new and enhanced product offerings, investing in sales and marketing efforts, targeting expansion in existing and new markets, including strategic acquisition opportunities, and by developing customized loyalty solutions to its site hosts and retail partners that promote sustainability and detailed utilization metrics. Additionally, Volta expects to capitalize on its PredictEVTM network planning tool to drive revenue growth in network intelligence.

In addition to offering our proprietary network planning tool to various partners, Volta expects to maximize the use of its proprietary network planning tool as a data-driven approach to expand its EV charging network, as well as to continue building customized loyalty solutions for its site hosts and partners. The development and operation of a comprehensive, highly reliable charging network enables Volta to focus on the commerce-driven elements of the shift to electric mobility.

211

Historically, Volta has generated total revenues of $19.5million for the year ended December31, 2020, representing an increase of 27%, as compared with the $15.3million generated for the year ended December31, 2019. Network development expansion and its related costs has primarily driven EBITDA to $(48.6) million for the year ended December31, 2020, as compared with $(32.0) million for the year ended December31, 2019.

Information regarding use of EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, and a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income, the most comparable GAAP measure, is included below in the subsection entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Volta’s financial results for the years ended December31, 2020 and 2019 take into account and give effect to Volta’s voluntary early adoption of ASC 842. See the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Volta” and the financial statements of Volta included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus for additional information.

Key Performance Measures

Volta management reviews several key performance measures, discussed below, to evaluate its business and results of operations, measure performance, identify trends, formulate plans and make strategic decisions. Volta management believes that the presentation of such metrics is useful to Volta’s investors and counterparties because they are used to measure and benchmark the performance of companies, such as Volta and its peers.

Total Stations Installed, including Network Partners

Volta management defines “Total Network Stations Installed” as the total size of the charging network at the end of the period.

The following table sets forth key performance measures for the years ended December31, 2020 and 2019:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2020		2019
Total revenue	$	19,450,425	$	15,265,609
Total stations installed, including network partners		1,578		1,115

For more information on the increase of total revenue, refer to the subsection entitled “Results of Operations” below.

Key Factors Affecting Operational Results

Volta’s future operating results and cash flows are dependent upon a number of opportunities, challenges and other factors, including macroeconomic conditions, human resources, customer retention, adoption of EVs and related technology, regulatory environment, competition, and installation and construction costs.

Macroeconomic Conditions

Volta derives a significant portion of its revenues from providing paid content on its EV charging stations. Current or prospective buyers’ spending priorities could be altered by a decline in the economy in general, the economic prospects of such buyers’, and/or the economy of any individual geographic market or industry. Any such changes, particularly a market in which Volta conducts a substantial portion of its business or an industry from which it derives a significant portion of its content, could adversely affect Volta’s revenues. Additionally, disruptions to buyers’ product plans or launches could affect revenue.

Volta is dependent upon the availability of electricity at its current and future charging sites. Increases in electricity costs, the need to upgrade or bring in additional power infrastructure at locations, delays, new or increased taxation, power shortages and/or other restrictions on the availability or cost of electricity could adversely affect Volta’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Human Resources

Volta’s ability to achieve revenue growth, profitability and expand its charging station network and strategic content partnerships to achieve broader market acceptance will depend on its ability to effectively expand its sales,

212

content, marketing, technology and operational teams and capabilities. Volta’s success depends, in part, on its continuing ability to identify, hire, attract, train, develop and retain highly qualified personnel. To achieve growth, Volta needs to continue to expand its team and geographic footprint aggressively.

Customer Retention

Volta intends to introduce a pay-for-use model for charging, in excess of an initial period of free charging, as well as idle fees for EVs that remain connected to a charging station for more than a specified period of time after charging is complete. As Volta switches from a free EV charging to a pay-for-use model, it risks losing drivers who have become accustomed to its free charging and do not wish to use paid charging services.

Adoption of EVs and Related Technology

Volta’s future growth and success is aligned with the continuing rapid adoption of EVs for passenger and fleet applications and the desire of site partners to provide this amenity on their properties that allows Volta to access the vehicle and foot traffic at these sites. The success of alternative fuels, competing technologies or alternative transportation options could considerably undermine Volta’s prospects to offer this amenity.

The EV charging market is characterized by rapid technological change, which requires Volta to continue to develop new products, innovate, and maintain and expand its intellectual property portfolio. Any delays in such developments could adversely affect market adoption of its products and its financial results. Volta’s ability to grow its business and consumer base depends, in part, upon the effective operation of its mobile applications that Volta deploys on various mobile operating systems, cellular and payment networks and external charging standards that it does not control.

Volta is developing and operating in an emerging technology sector. Computer malware, viruses, ransomware, hacking, phishing attacks and other network disruptions could result in security and privacy breaches, loss of proprietary information and interruption in service, which could harm Volta’s business. Unauthorized disclosure of personal or sensitive data or confidential information, whether through electronic security breaches or otherwise, could severely hurt Volta’s business.

Regulatory Environment

Volta’s business and its ability to execute operational plans could be highly impacted by the regulatory environment in which it operates on the federal, state and local levels. Regulatory factors affecting Volta’s business include: infrastructure financing or support, carbon offset programs, EV-related tax incentives and tax policy, utility and power regulation, payment regulations, data privacy and security, software reporting tools, transportation policy and construction, electrical and sign code permitting.

Restrictions on certain digital outdoor media content products, services or other content are or may be imposed by federal, state and local laws and regulations, as well as contracts with Volta’s host sites. Digital displays were introduced to the market relatively recently, and existing media signage regulations could be revised or new regulations could be enacted to impose greater restrictions on digital content or displays. In addition, Volta may be also impacted if federal, state or local governments enact rules or legislation to tax revenues derived from the sale of digital media. Any such regulatory changes could adversely affect Volta’s financial condition and results of operations.

Competition

Volta currently faces competition from a number of companies, in both the EV charging industry and in the media industry. Volta expects to face significant competition in the future as the markets for EV charging and content evolve. Increased competition in these industries could create a talent war, making it more challenging to attract and retain talent.

The EV charging business may become more competitive and Volta may face increased pressure on utilization and margins. Competition is expected to continue to increase as the number of EVs sold increases or as new competitors or alliances emerge that have greater market share or access to capital than Volta. If Volta’s content competitors offer media content display rates below the rates it charges, it could lose potential partners and be

213

pressured to reduce its rates. This could have an adverse effect on Volta’s financial position. Volta’s future growth and success are dependent upon the desirability of its charging stations as content space. The success of alternative media content options employed by agencies, brands or other purchasers of content could undermine Volta’s prospects.

Relationships with Real Estate and Retail Partners

In order to build its charging station network, Volta will need to continue to establish and maintain relationships with real estate partners, retail partners and site hosts with national, multi-state and local portfolios of commercial and retail properties. Site hosts can span a diverse array of industries and locations, and if such hosts believe the benefits offered by Volta’s competitors exceed the benefits of partnering with Volta, Volta may lose access to high quality property owners that it needs to achieve profitability.

Seasonality

Volta’s content business has experienced and is expected to continue to experience fluctuations as it continues to scale its EV charging footprint in various markets. This is primarily due to, among other things, seasonal buying patterns and seasonal influences on media markets. Typically, media spend is highest in the fourth quarter, during the holiday shopping season, and lowest in the first quarter, as buyers adjust their spending following the holiday shopping season and prepare annual budgets.

Installation and Construction Cost Drivers

Volta’s business is subject to risks associated with construction, cost overruns and delays and other contingencies that may arise in the course of completing installations. The timing of obtaining permits from state and local governments to install charging stations is often out of Volta’s control, and could result in delays of operations. In addition, Volta relies on a limited number of suppliers and manufacturers for the manufacture and supply of its charging stations, some of which are also early-stage companies.

Volta’s EV chargers are typically located in publicly accessible outdoor or garage areas and may be subject to damage from a number of sources, including exposure to the elements and weather-related impacts, and wear and tear and inadvertent or accidental damage by drivers, including due to vehicle collisions or charger misuse. Volta’s charging stations may also be subject to intentional damage and abuse, including vandalism or other intentional property damage, any of which would increase wear and tear of the charging equipment and could result in such equipment being irreparably damaged or destroyed.

COVID-19 Impact

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. Volta management is closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of Volta’s business. Volta has taken measures in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including closing its offices, implementing a work from home policy for its workforce and actively managing its site installations. Volta may take further actions that alter its business operations, as may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that it determines are in the best interests of its employees, contractors and stockholders.

After shelter-in-place orders were issued in March 2020, construction activities halted until June1, 2020, resulting in a 43% forecasted reduction in capital expenditures from Volta’s original budget for the 2020 fiscal year. Volta’s supply chain was delayed due to high global demand for key components of its stations. The process of obtaining permits has slowed down, as over the counter permits have been scaled back due to work from home arrangements in the jurisdictions where Volta is installing stations. Volta implemented a plan to reduce personnel costs through a temporary hiring freeze and reduction in non-essential contractors. Volta further reduced program spend, representing a combined 38% reduction against its original budget for the 2020 fiscal year. On April27, 2020, Volta received a Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loan in the amount of $3.2million with fixed interest of 1% per annum as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) related relief. In the second half of 2020, construction projects and the permitting process for new sites resumed.

214

The COVID-19 pandemic, the measures taken by the federal, state or local authorities and businesses affected and the resulting economic impact may materially and adversely affect Volta’s business, results of operations, cash flows and financial positions as well as its drivers that use its charging stations. Despite such recent events, Volta management does not anticipate the COVID-19 pandemic will significantly impact future operations, as demonstrated by the launch of several new automotive media campaigns in February 2021. Volta believes that its content network remains attractive to buyers, given over 70% of its charging stations are installed in close proximity to essential businesses such as grocery stores and pharmacies. See Note3, “Liquidity,” of Volta’s audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus for more information on going concern. See the subsection entitled “Key Factors Affecting Operational Results” for further discussion of the possible impact of COVID-19 on Volta’s business.

Basis of Presentation

Substantially all of Volta’s long-lived assets are maintained in, and its losses are attributable to, the United States. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Volta and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis and Volta expects to have enough funding for the foreseeable future. See Note2, “Summary of significant accounting policies,” of Volta’s audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus for more information.

Network Intelligence revenue consists of license or service fee revenue from proprietary software tools derived from the charging station network. Volta offers access to the PredictEVTM tool to utility companies, channel partners and other third parties through a SaaS business model.

Cost of Services

Cost of services consist primarily of contracted labor for sales of installation and maintenance services and costs related to station rent, electricity, insurance, communication, and business property taxes related to Volta’s site leases. Volta expects cost of services to increase in future periods primarily due to increased costs associated with operating a national charging network due to increasing rent and electricity costs as site partners seek to monetize customer parking spaces.

215

Cost of Products

Cost of products consist primarily of hardware related costs of Level 2 and DCFC stations which includes the station chassis, high-resolution, outdoor screen displays, the EV chargers, routers, and computers. While the interim cost of products has increased for the current generation of Volta’s award-winning charging stations, which include intuitive lighting features and a new chassis design, Volta expects the next generation of stations to decrease in cost per station as it scales purchasing with its manufacturing partners.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel-related expenses, share based compensation, professional fees for legal, accounting, other consulting services, software and licenses and information technology development services costs. Volta expects to incur additional general and administrative expenses as a result of operating as a public company, including expenses related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and NYSE listing standards, additional insurance expenses (including directors’ and officers’ insurance), investor relations activities and other administrative and professional services. Volta also expects to increase the size of its selling, general and administrative function to support the growth of its business.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization primarily relate to the depreciation of Volta-owned charging stations and its tenant improvements, technology equipment and other tools. Volta anticipates these expenses will continue to increase over time as it continues to build its network.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses primarily relate to write offs of expenses related to projects discontinued prior to construction.

Interest Expense

Interest expense primarily consists of interest related to its loan interest, amortization of debt issuance costs and costs related to early termination of debt.

Other Income (Expense), net

Other income (expense), net relates to income from rebates from various jurisdictions for installing publicly available EV charging infrastructure and the revaluation of Volta Preferred Stock warrant liability, expenses related to an accrual for disputed invoices and various local and state government agencies.

Income Tax Expense

Volta’s income tax provision consists of an estimate of federal and state taxes, as adjusted for allowable credits, deductions, uncertain tax positions, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities and changes in tax law and valuation allowance.

Total revenue	$	19,450,425	$	15,265,609	$	4,184,816		27	%

Behavior and Commerce revenue decreased by $0.6million, or 7%, from December31, 2019 to December31, 2020, primarily due to postponed media campaigns as a result of the COVID-19 shelter-in-place and other measures taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

217

Network Development revenue increased by $4.3million, or 68%, from December31, 2019 to December31, 2020, primarily due to an increase of $3.1million of revenue attributable to completion of stations previously contracted, an increase of $0.6million in infrastructure related sales, and an increase of $0.5million in operations and maintenance revenue.

Charging Network Operations revenue increased by $0.4million, or 108%, from December31, 2019 to December31, 2020. This was due to an increase in regulatory credit revenue of $0.4million attributable to an increase in earned LCFS credits linked to the high utilization of the charging network.

Volta earned $0.1million in Network Intelligence revenue in 2020, which it began generating in November 2020.

Cost of revenues

The following table summarizes cost of revenues by products and services:

	Year Ended December 31,				Variance
	2020		2019		$		%
Cost of services	$	17,465,930	$	10,662,591	$	6,803,339	64	%
Cost of products	$	4,450,224	$	2,535,526	$	1,914,698	76	%

Cost of services increased by $6.8million, or 64%, to $17.5million for the year ended December31, 2020 as compared to the year ended December31, 2019, primarily due to an increase of $3.2million in station rent and media license fees. In addition, an increase of $1.1million in installation services costs derived from an increase of stations completed, owned by network partners.

Cost of products increased by $1.9million, or 76%, from December31, 2019 to December31, 2020, primarily due to the increase of 109 charging stations sold to network partners.

Operating Expenses

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $15.0million, or 53%, for the year ended December31, 2020 as compared to the year ended December31, 2019. This was primarily driven by an increase in payroll costs for salaried employees of $4.9million, an increase in bonuses of $1.0million, and an increase in professional services expense of $1.7million. This was also driven by an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation of $4.4million. The payroll related cost increase was mainly driven by additions to Volta’s year end full-time employee headcount to 136 from 127 in 2020 and 2019, respectively, with the addition of several senior level employees in 2019 and 2020.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $2.8million, or 77%, to $6.5million for the year ended December31, 2020 from $3.7million for the year ended December31, 2019. This was primarily due to an increase in the number of stations in service in 2020 as compared to 2019.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses decreased by $3.7million, or 78%, for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to the year ended December31, 2019, primarily due to a $3.5million decrease in the adjustment to construction in progress as a result of disqualified, cancelled or fully deprecated pilot projects.

218

Loss from Operations

Loss from operations increased by $18.7million, or 54%, from December31, 2019 to December31, 2020. This was primarily due to an increase in cost of services and cost of products of $8.7million, an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $15.0million ($4.4million non-cash), and an increase in depreciation and amortization expenses of $2.8million, partially offset by an increase in revenue of $4.2million, and a decrease in other operating expenses of $3.7million.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by $13.4million, or 267%, from December31, 2019 to December31, 2020, primarily due to conversion features on promissory notes issued by Volta throughout 2020 and converted in connection with the Series D Financing on December23, 2020. The conversion features allowed for a discounted conversion price resulting in $10.8million of additional interest expense (non-cash portion) in 2020. Additionally, the interest expense related to Volta’s term loan increased by $3.3million.

Other Expense, net

Other expense, net increased by $0.7million, or 81%, to $1.6million for the year ended December31, 2020 from $0.9million for the year ended December31, 2019. This was primarily due to an increase of $0.4million of other operating expenses attributable to the revaluation of warrant liabilities during 2020 for all Volta Warrants relating to Volta Preferred Stock.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was less than $0.1million for each of the years ended December31, 2020 and 2019, primarily attributable to state taxes.

Net Loss

Net loss increased by $32.8million, or 81%, from December31, 2019 to December31, 2020, primarily due to an increase of $22.9million in total costs and expenses and an increase of $13.4million in interest expense, partially offset by an increase of $4.2million in revenue.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

Volta has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception. To date, Volta has funded its operations primarily with proceeds from the issuance of Volta Preferred Stock, borrowings under its loan facilities, including its term loan, a Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan under the Small Business Administration (SBA), and other term loans. From inception to the date of this filing, Volta has raised aggregate net cash proceeds of over $213million from the sale of shares of Volta Preferred Stock, Volta Common Stock and its term loan borrowings. As of December31, 2020, Volta had a cash balance of $58.8million. Volta believes that cash on hand, together with cash generated from sales to customers, will satisfy its working capital and capital requirements for at least the next twelve months from May14, 2021, the date on which Volta’s audited consolidated financial statements were issued.

Liquidity Policy

As an early-stage company, Volta maintains a strong focus on liquidity and defines its liquidity risk tolerance based on sources and uses to maintain a sufficient liquidity position to meet its obligations under both normal and stressed conditions. Volta manages its liquidity to provide access to sufficient funding to meet its business needs and financial obligations, as well as capital allocation and growth objectives.

Cash Flow Summary

The following table summarizes Volta’s cash flows:

	Year Ended December 31,						Variance
	2020			2019			$			%
Net cash used in Operating Activities	$	(52,649,736	)	$	(23,697,763	)	$	(28,951,973	)	122	%
Net cash used in Investing Activities		(21,586,250	)		(24,809,641	)		(3,223,391	)	(12	)%
Net cash provided by Financing Activities	$	122,283,883		$	47,246,728		$	75,037,155		159	%

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities increased by $29.0million, or 122%, to $52.6million for the year ended December31, 2020 as compared to $23.7million for the year ended December31, 2019. This increase was primarily due to a $17.8million increase in net loss adjusted for non-cash items and an increase in net working capital, excluding operating lease liabilities, of $0.7million. Net working capital was impacted by net effect of an increase in accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable in 2019 compared to 2018, and a decrease in those accounts in 2020 compared to 2019, primarily due to COVID 19. Accrued expenses and other liabilities increased in both 2019 and 2020, with respect to the prior year. Net working capital was further impacted by a $2.6million increase in the cash used for prepaid partnership costs outflow in 2020 compared to 2019.

Additionally, there was a $0.9million increase in the cash used on ROU assets in 2020 as compared with the prior period, a $0.9million increase in the cash provided by the related operating lease liabilities and a $2.7million decrease in the use of lease cash incentive. Despite the use of cash for operating activities, Volta intends on meeting cash requirements and maintaining operations through the issuance of equity financing as further detailed in Note17, “Subsequent events,” of Volta’s audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus for more information.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $3.2million, or 12%, to $21.6million for the year ended December31, 2020, as compared to $24.8million for the year ended December31, 2019, primarily due to the $3.7million decrease in cash incentives received due to fewer financing transaction agreements on digital media screens in 2020, and offset by lower deployment of capital around the purchase of property and equipment, net, primarily due to COVID-19.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $75.0million, or 159%, to $122.3million for the year ended December31, 2020, as compared to $47.2million for the year ended December31, 2020. This was primarily driven by an increase of $75.9million in net proceeds from the issuance of Preferred Stock and an increase in proceeds of $3.2million from the PPP Loan, partially offset by a $4.1million decrease in proceeds related to financing transactions on digital media screens.

Contractual Obligations

In the normal course of business, Volta enters into obligations and commitments that require future contractual payments. The commitments result primarily from operating leases and long-term debt. The following table summarizes Volta’s contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of December31, 2020:

	Total		Less than 1 year		1 to 3 years		3 to 5 years		More than 5 years
Operating Leases	$	73,127,558	$	9,474,959	$	19,634,051	$	17,928,439	$	26,090,109

221

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to its financial results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Volta believes the following non-GAAP measure is useful in evaluating its operating performance. Volta uses the following non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate its ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Volta believes that this non-GAAP financial measure, when taken together with the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measure, provides meaningful, supplemental information regarding its performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of its business, results of operations or outlook. Volta considers EBITDA to be an important measure because it helps illustrate underlying trends in its business and its historical operating performance on a more consistent basis. Volta believes that the use of EBITDA is helpful to its investors as it is a metric used by management in assessing the health of its business and its operating performance.

However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in Volta’s industry, may calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of Volta’s non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. A reconciliation is provided below for the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measure and the reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Volta’s business.

EBITDA

In order to provide investors with greater insight and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management and the board of directors in its financial and operational decision-making, Volta has supplemented the Consolidated Financial Statements presented on a U.S. GAAP basis in this proxy statement/prospectus with EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure. Volta believes EBITDA provides its board of directors, management and investors with a helpful measure for comparing its operating performance with the performance of other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates. Volta also believes that EBITDA is a measure frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in its industry, and is a measure contained in its debt covenants. However, while Volta considers EBITDA to be an important measure of operating performance, EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures have limitations, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Volta’s results as reported under U.S. GAAP.

The following table provides a reconciliation of EBITDA to net (loss) income, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure reported in Volta’s audited condensed consolidated financial statements for the following periods:

	Year Ended December 31,						Variance
	2020			2019			$			%
Net Income (Loss)	$	(73,405,099	)	$	(40,652,616	)	$	(32,752,483	)	81	%
Income tax (benefit) expense		9,096			12,963			(3,867	)	(30	)%
Interest expense		18,360,506			4,997,680			13,362,826		267	%
Depreciation and amortization		6,468,791			3,655,234			2,813,557		77	%
EBITDA	$	(48,566,706	)	$	(31,986,739	)		(16,579,967	)	52	%

EBITDA decreased by $16.6million, or 52%, to $(48.6) million for year ended December31, 2020, as compared to $(32.0) million for the year ended December31, 2019. This is primarily attributable to an increase of $8.7million of cost of services and cost of products and an increase of $15.0million in selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by a decrease in other operating expenses of $3.7million and an increase in revenues of $4.2million, driven by the expansion of the charging network.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Volta prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires it to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that can significantly impact the amounts it reports as in its financial statements and the related disclosures. Volta bases its estimates on

222

historical experience and other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Volta’s actual results could differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Volta believes that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding its historical and future performance as these policies involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity.

Please refer to Note2, “Summary of significant accounting policies,” of Volta’s audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus for a description of Volta’s accounting policies in detail. Volta believes the following accounting policies require the most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its financial statements.

Emerging Growth Company Status

Pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act, an emerging growth company is provided the option to adopt new or revised accounting standards that may be issued by FASB or the SEC either (a) within the same periods as those otherwise applicable to non-emerging growth companies or (b) within the same time periods as private companies. Volta intends to take advantage of the exemption for complying with certain new or revised accounting standards within the same time periods as private companies, such as current expected credit losses and income tax.

Volta also intends to take advantage of some of the reduced regulatory and reporting requirements of emerging growth companies pursuant to the JOBS Act, including, but not limited to: not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation and exemptions from the requirements of holding non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation and golden parachute payments.

Volta will cease to be an emerging growth company on the date that is the earliest of (a) the last day of the fiscal year in which it has total annual gross revenues of $1.07billion or more; (b) the last day of its fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of its initial public offering; (c) the date on which it has issued more than $1.0billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (d) the last day of the fiscal year in which it is deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of its common stock held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $700.0million as of the last business day of the second fiscal quarter of such fiscal year.

Network Development Revenue

Volta generates Network Development revenue from the sales of products including charging stations to select site hosts and infrastructure to utility companies as well as related installation services and operations and maintenance services on charging stations owned by third parties. Some of Volta’s agreements include non-standard terms and conditions and include promises to transfer multiple goods and services. As a result, significant interpretation and judgment is required to determine the appropriate accounting for these transactions, including: (1) whether performance obligations are considered distinct that should be accounted for separately versus together, how the price should be allocated among the performance obligations, and when to recognize revenue for each performance obligation; (2) developing an estimate of the stand-alone selling price (“SSP”) of each distinct performance obligation; (3) combining contracts that may impact the allocation of the transaction price between product and services; and (4) estimating the consideration payable to a customer as a reduction of the transaction price.

When an agreement contains multiple performance obligations, Volta identifies each component to the contract and allocates the transaction price based on a relative SSP. If the arrangement contains a lease it is accounted for in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. In some arrangements, Volta has executed a sale and leaseback of the digital media screens (sale leaseback) and has also acquired the right to control the use of the location to advertise over a set term (location lease). During the construction phase, Volta does not control the underlying asset on the customer’s property. When the sale leaseback qualifies as a financing, Volta will not record a sale for accounting purposes of the digital media screen and depreciates that asset over its useful life. For contractual lease payments that do not exceed the fair value of the location lease obligation, Volta records a lease liability and an associated right-of-use (“ROU”) asset based on the discounted lease payments. In some instances, Volta may receive a lease incentive from the lessor which is recorded as a reduction to the lease payments. In arrangements where Volta pays consideration to a customer for a distinct good or service, the consideration payable to a customer is limited to the fair value of the distinct good or service received by the customer. If the contractual payments for the location

223

lease of this arrangement are in excess of fair value, then Volta will estimate the excess contractual payments over fair value and record that amount as a reduction to the transaction price in the arrangement. The reduction to transaction price for consideration payable to a customer is recognized at the later of when Volta pays or promises to pay the consideration or when Volta recognizes the related revenue for the transferred products and services.

The determination of SSP for performance obligations to customers is judgmental and is based on the price that Volta would charge for the same good or service if sold separately on a standalone basis to similar clients in similar circumstances. Volta estimates SSP based on reasonably available data that maximizes the use of observable inputs that may vary over time. Typically the SSP of Volta’s performance obligations are based on expected cost plus a margin. The margin reflects what the market would be willing to pay adjusted for differences in products, geographies, customers, and other factors.

Sales of charging stations and installed infrastructure is recognized at a point in time when control has been transferred to the customer and is classified as product revenue on our statement of operations. Installation services are recognized as service revenue based on a percentage of completion throughout the installation period. The percentage of completion involves the use of various estimating techniques to project costs at completion and recognize revenue ratably over the costs incurred to date. Operation and maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement, as services are performed. Payments are typically due within one month after billed.

Changes in judgments with respect to these assumptions and estimates could impact the timing or amount of revenue recognition. Please refer to Note2, “Summary of significant accounting policies,” of Volta’s audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus for additional information on revenue recognition.

Equity Based Compensation

Volta’s stock-based compensation consists of options that are granted to employees and non-employees as part of their compensation package. Given that Volta is a private company, there are no direct observable inputs into the fair value of Volta Common Stock, and Volta’s management must make assumptions to estimate the fair value.

The grant-date fair value of employee and non-employee stock options are determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using various inputs, including estimates of expected volatility, term, risk-free rate, and future dividends. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. Compensation cost is recognized over the vesting period of the applicable award using the straight-line method.

Changes in the following assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value and ultimately how much stock-based compensation expense is recognized. These inputs are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop.

Given the absence of a public trading market, the Volta Board considers numerous objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of Volta Common Stock. These factors include, but are not limited to, (i) contemporaneous valuations of Volta Common Stock performed by an independent valuation specialist; (ii) developments in the business and stage of development; (iii) operational and financial performance and condition; (iv) issuances of Volta Preferred Stock and the rights and preferences of Volta Preferred Stock relative to Volta Common Stock; (v) the current condition of capital markets and the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an initial public offering or sale of Volta; (vi) the lack of marketability of the Volta Common Stock; and (vii) experience of management and hiring of key personnel.

The grant date fair value of Volta Common Stock was determined using valuation methodologies which utilize certain assumptions, including probability weighting events, volatility, time to liquidation, a risk-free interest rate, and an assumption for a discount for lack of marketability.

Volta used the market approach to determine the fair value of the Volta Common Stock. This approach measures the value of an asset or business through an analysis of recent sales or offerings of comparable investments or assets and gives consideration to the financial condition and operating performance of an entity relative to those of public entities operating in the same or similar lines of business. Volta applies the market approach by utilizing the Backsolve method, which uses a Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the implied value based on the recent transaction price. For purposes of allocating the fair value of Common Stock, Volta used the Option Pricing

224

Method (“OPM”). Under the OPM, shares are valued by creating a series of call options with exercise prices based on the liquidation preferences and conversion terms of each equity class. The estimated fair values of the preferred and common stock are inferred by analyzing these options. This method is appropriate to use when the range of possible future outcomes is so difficult to predict that estimates would be highly speculative, and dissolution or liquidation is not imminent.

For financial reporting purposes, Volta considers the amount of time between the valuation date and the grant date to determine whether to use the latest common stock valuation or a straight-line interpolation between the two valuation dates. The determination includes an evaluation of whether the subsequent valuation indicates that any significant change in valuation had occurred between the previous valuation and the grant date.

The following table summarizes the key share-based payment valuation assumptions:

	December 31,
	2020		2019
Expected dividend yield	—		—
Risk-free interest rate	0.80	%	2.07	%
Expected volatility	48.14	%	34.39	%
Expected term (in years)	6.0		6.0

Expected Dividend Yield

Volta does not expect, and is not contractually obligated, to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

Risk-free Interest Rate

The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yields currently available from the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve over the expected term.

Expected Volatility

Expected volatility is a measure of the amount of fluctuation in the value of Volta’s share price over a specific time period. Volatility is generally calculated as the standard deviation of the continuously compounding rates of return on the share over a specified period and is typically expressed as annualized returns. Judgment is required to select a method to estimate expected volatility for nonpublic companies. As Volta does not have a trading history prior to the Business Combination, sufficient historical information related to the fair value of Volta’s options is not available. Nonpublic entities may use average volatility for comparable public companies to form a reasonable basis for the assumption of expected volatility. To identify similar entities, Volta considered characteristics of each, such as industry, stage of life cycle, size and financial leverage. Based on the 2020 409a valuations performed by a third-party valuation firm, volatility was determined to be between 27% and 73% based on a 5-year analysis of comparable public companies. The average volatility actually used in the fair value determination for stock options was 38% for grants issued prior to March31, 2020 and 50-58% for awards granted after March31, 2020.

Expected Term (in years)

Volta uses the practical expedient in ASC 718 which allows nonpublic entities to follow a simplified approach for calculating expected term. For service vesting conditions, the expected term is the midpoint between the requisite service period and the contractual term of the option. For performance vesting conditions, the expected term is determined based on the probability of occurrence. When the occurrence is probable, the expected term is the midpoint between the requisite service period and the contractual term of the option. If the occurrence is other than probable, the expected term is the contractual term when the service period is not stated, or the midpoint between the requisite service period and the contractual term if the requisite service period or vesting period is stated.

Fair Value of Warrant Liabilities

Volta classifies Series B Preferred Stock Warrants as long-term liabilities at their estimated fair value. The liability is subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date, with changes in fair value recorded as other expenses, net in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Volta will continue to revalue the

225

Volta Warrants relating to such Volta Preferred Stock until exercise, expiration, conversion or until they are no longer redeemable or the completion of a liquidation event, including completion of an initial public offering, at which time all such Series B convertible Preferred Stock warrants will be converted into warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock and the liability will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital. As of December31, 2020, all Volta Warrants relating to its Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding.

Volta estimates the fair value of the warrant liability using the Backsolve method, which uses a Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the implied equity value of Volta. Volta is required to make assumptions and estimates in determining an appropriate risk-free interest rate, volatility, term, dividend yield, discount due to exercise restrictions and the fair value of Volta Common Stock. Any significant adjustments to the unobservable inputs would have a direct impact on the fair value of the warrant liability. Refer to Note4, “Fair value measurements,” of Volta’s audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus for additional information.

Long Lived Assets

Property and equipment, net, which primarily consists of charging stations and construction in progress station hardware, is reported at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Volta estimates the useful lives of the stations to be between five and ten years, based on its historical experience and its plans regarding how it intends to use those assets.

Volta’s experience indicates that the estimated useful lives applied to its portfolio of assets have been reasonable, and it does not expect significant changes to the estimated useful lives of its long-lived assets in the future. When Volta determines that stations or other equipment will be disposed of prior to the end of their initially estimated useful lives, it estimates the revised useful lives and depreciates the assets over the revised period.

Volta also reviews property and equipment for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that depreciable property and equipment might be impaired, and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. When specific assets are determined to be unrecoverable, the cost basis of the asset is reduced to reflect the current fair market value.

Volta uses various assumptions in determining the remaining useful lives of assets to be disposed of prior to the end of their useful lives and in determining the current fair market value of long-lived assets that are determined to be unrecoverable. Estimated useful lives and fair values are sensitive to factors including contractual commitments, regulatory requirements and future expected cash flows. Volta’s impairment loss calculations require management to apply judgment in estimating future cash flows, including forecasting useful lives of the assets and selecting the discount rate that reflects the risk inherent in future cash flows.

Leases

Volta maintains multiple lease arrangements depending on negotiating contracts with customers relating to installed charging stations. The charging stations have two units of account: the charging station and digital media screen. Volta recognizes a financing transaction on the digital media screen, which remains on Volta’s balance sheet based on the cost of the digital media screen and is depreciated over its useful life. Volta also leases the location of the charging stations and this is recognized as an operating lease arrangement, with a lease liability and ROU asset under ASC 842. Volta voluntarily early adopted accounting standards for the treatment of leases under ASC 842 prior to the required adoption after December15, 2021 given its business and operations in relation to leased properties on a go-forward basis.

Volta uses significant estimates in accounting for lease liabilities and ROU assets, which are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The lease interest rate used to determine the present value of future lease payments is based on Volta’s incremental borrowing rate. Volta’s leases are all long term, extending beyond a twelve-month period, and include periods under options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain Volta will exercise such options. Volta identifies separate lease and non-lease components, and the non-lease components are typically comprised of electricity reimbursements to the landlord.

Volta has elected the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components as a combined single lease component, increasing the amount of Volta’s lease liabilities and ROU assets.

226

Please refer to Note2, “Summary of significant accounting policies,” and Note12, “Leases,” of Volta’s audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus for additional information about leases.

Income Taxes

Volta utilizes the liability method in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the estimated future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax expense or benefit is the result of changes in the deferred tax asset and liability. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets where it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Volta makes estimates, assumptions and judgments to determine its provision for its income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. Volta assesses the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and to the extent it believes that recovery is not likely, it establishes a valuation allowance.

Volta recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits which, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, have not been material, are recognized within provision for income taxes. As of December31, 2020, Volta has determined there are no uncertain tax positions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of the balance sheet dates of December31, 2019, and December31, 2020, Volta has not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note2, “Summary of significant accounting policies,” of Volta’s audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus for a discussion of the impact of recent accounting pronouncements.

Related Party Transactions

Refer to Note16, “Related party transactions,” of Volta’s audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus for more information for related party transactions.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Volta’s operations include activities solely based in the United States. These operations expose Volta to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates and changes in consumer attitudes. Volta monitors and manages these financial exposures as an integral part of its overall risk management program.

Interest Rate Risk

Volta had a cash balance totaling $58.8million as of December31, 2020. Volta manages its cash through zero balance accounts and demand deposit accounts for which the amount held is equal to the fair value. Volta’s total principal long-term debt balance was $52.2million as of December31, 2020 and had fixed interest rates of 12% per annum for its EIP loan and 1% per annum for its SBA loan, respectively. Because the rates are fixed, a change in market rates would have no impact on Volta’s financial position or results of operations.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Volta is not currently exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, however, its operations may be subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in the future to the extent it opens offices or initiates business activities in locations where it might incur expenses or generate revenues in currencies other that U.S. dollars.

INFORMATION ABOUT VOLTA

Overview

Volta’s mission is to build the fueling infrastructure of the future. Volta’s vision is to create an EV charging network that capitalizes on and catalyzes the shift from combustion-powered miles to electric miles by placing stations in public locations that match the behavior and commerce of visitors to its host sites. By leveraging a data-driven understanding of driver behavior to deliver EV charging solutions that fit seamlessly into drivers’ daily routines, Volta’s goal is to benefit the entire ecosystem of drivers, brands and its commercial partners. As part of Volta’s unique EV charging offering, its charging stations allow it to enhance its site hosts’ and strategic partners’ core commercial interests, creating a new means for them to benefit from the transformative shift to electric mobility.

Founded in 2010 by Scott Mercer, its Founder and Chief Executive Officer, and Christopher Wendel, who subsequently joined as co-founder and President, Volta primarily owns, operates and maintains EV charging stations and has expanded its network across the United States to include more than 1,600 chargers across 23 territories and states that have generated over 140,000 charging sessions per month on average for the 12months ended December31, 2020, forming one of the most utilized charging station networks in the United States. To take advantage of the expected growth opportunity presented by the EV market, which we define as delivering the most value for its commercial partners, Volta intends to rapidly expand its network of charging stations, using its proprietary data-driven planning tools to identify high-traffic, high visibility site partner locations that it believes would benefit most from its EV charging solutions and garner the highest usage from Volta’s driving community.

Volta’s business entails partnering with real estate and retail partners with national and regional multi-site portfolios of commercial and retail properties, as well as municipalities and local business owners, to locate and deploy its EV charging stations in premier locations. The site hosts Volta partners with span a wide array of industries and locations, including retail centers, grocery stores, pharmacies, movie theaters, parking lots, healthcare/medical facilities, municipalities, sport and entertainment venues, parks and recreation areas, restaurants, schools and universities, certain transit and fueling locations and office buildings and other locations. Volta signs long-term contracts for properties and grows its footprint over time as its station utilization justifies further capital investment in its EV charging infrastructure. Unique to Volta’s model, its network has the ability to draw on several sources of revenue to build earlier and higher unit economics than other solutions currently available in the market, by tapping into multiple commercial opportunities at any given site: a unique content/sponsorship asset, real-estate partners’ investment considerations and ultimately, user and network fees.

Most important for the long-term health of the EV charging industry, Volta focuses on optimizing its network deployment for capital and electrical grid efficiency. Volta is building a network that has at its core the objective of delivering the most electric miles per dollar invested.

Market Opportunity

Volta believes the transition to electric mobility will be one of the largest macro-economic shifts in its lifetime. Because electricity is pervasive and safely distributed, fueling can shift to a model where vehicles charge at locations where their drivers already engage in everyday activities. The locations where the vehicle is parked will offer charging speeds matched to the natural parking duration of vehicles at the site in order to provide drivers with a meaningful charge to their vehicles. With the exception of occasional drives beyond a vehicle’s battery range, EV charging is primarily a top-up model and the fueling experience is transitioning from being a common chore performed by having to make a dedicated and sometimes inconvenient stop, to being conveniently located within a driver’s typical daily routine. For example, EV drivers might top-up with lower speed charging while parked at a shopping center for a few hours, but choose a faster mid-speed option for visits to grocery stores, drug stores and coffee shops, as needed. Volta offers a unique platform that delivers the convenience of the “on your route” model of EV charging while providing additional value through its understanding of driver behavior and commerce opportunities. By providing an EV charging amenity that is centered on its strategic partners’ commercial goals, Volta believes its partners will be able to take better advantage of the shift to electric mobility and drive site visitor engagement in their businesses.

228

EV Charging

The EV charging market is heavily dependent on the general market for EVs, which has experienced significant recent growth in response to public demand for vehicles with greater fuel efficiency, greater performance and lower environmental emissions. Volta expects this market growth to accelerate in the future due to numerous factors, including lower upfront prices for EVs, increased EV model availability and performance, lower total cost of ownership (“TCO”) as compared to ICE vehicles, increased range and availability of chargers and federal, state and local incentives and regulations.

For example, automobile and battery manufacturers have substantially increased their efforts to offer EVs at a wider variety of price points and to develop batteries with higher efficiencies and lower costs. According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance (“BNEF”), the cost of EV batteries is expected to fall below $100/kWh beginning in 2024, which would allow EVs to compete with and potentially outperform ICE vehicles on cost in the coming years. Efforts to date by OEMs have already lowered the upfront costs of EVs, and Volta expects further price reductions over the next several years. BNEF estimates most EVs will reach upfront cost parity with ICE vehicles by 2023 on an unsubsidized basis. As measured in terms of TCO, certain classes of EVs are already at or below parity with their ICE counterparts. As overall EV costs decline, more makes and models will reach TCO parity with their ICE equivalents and the TCO advantage for other types of EVs will expand.

In addition, according to Reuters, more than $300billion has been invested or committed for investment in EVs in the next five to ten years by global automobile OEMs. Their investment is intended to expand and accelerate production of their EV offerings and associated technologies and to optimize the global EV supply chain. For example, Daimler AG has announced plans to electrify the entire Mercedes-Benz portfolio by 2022, Volkswagen expects to put 22million EVs on the road in the next ten years and has announced $91billion in committed EV spending, General Motors Company expects to have 30 EV models by 2025 with $27billion in committed EV spending, Ford has announced $22billion in committed EV spending by 2025 and BMW expects EVs to make up 15 – 25% of its 2025 sales, with more than 7million EVs expected to be on the road by 2030. In response to the growing electrification trend, demand for public charging is also expected to increase, with BNEF forecasting demand for EV charging connectors growing by eight times from 2015 – 2030 and by 24 times from 2015 – 2040.

229

These advances are further bolstered by incentives and rebates offered by federal, state and local governments, including regulated utilities, to encourage the use of EVs. The U.S. federal government currently offers a tax credit for qualified plug-in EVs of up to $7,500, depending on vehicle weight and battery capacity, subject to certain limitations. In addition, the Biden Administration has announced several initiatives to address climate change and encourage the transition to zero emission vehicles, including EVs. For example, on January27, 2021, President Biden signed an executive order that calls for, among other things, the increased use of zero-emissions vehicles by the federal government. Recently, the Biden Administration announced the American Jobs Plan, an infrastructure plan intended, among other things, to help U.S. automakers spur the domestic EV supply chain and support American workers to make batteries and EVs. If adopted, the plan would establish grant and incentive programs for state and local governments and the private sector to develop EV charging infrastructure and provide for rebates and tax incentives for buying American-made EVs. Additionally, the American Jobs Plan proposes $174billion in additional federal spending to promote the adoption of EVs, including the construction of 500,000 EV charging stations by 2030. States such as California, Colorado, Delaware, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New York and Rhode Island also offer various incentives — such as rebates, grants and tax credits — to promote EV and EV supply equipment purchases. Additional rebates and grants for purchasers of EVs are currently under consideration at the federal and state level. Further, regulated utilities such as the NY Public Service Commission, which approved $700million to fund EV charging infrastructure for multiple utilities, and Southern California Edison, which adopted a $436million charge-ready infrastructure program, are also supporting EV infrastructure development efforts.

Demand for EVs has also been encouraged by regulatory developments and changes in driver habits. Several states — including California, Oregon, New York, Maryland and Massachusetts — have adopted or proposed mandates for EVs with the goal of more than 6million EVs on the road by 2030. It is also expected that by 2035, all new cars sold in California, Massachusetts and New Jersey will be zero-emission vehicles, based on current requirements or government recommendations in such states. Additionally, California has enacted its Clean Miles Standard and Incentive Program aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from rideshare vehicles through electrification. Volta believes these regulations will rapidly accelerate EV adoption by drivers and fleets in the coming years.

230

Behavior & Commerce

Volta believes digital place-based content, an early component of its behavior and commerce-driven revenue generation, enjoys a strong and unique position in the marketing industry, offering partners a cost-effective media solution with an opportunity to reach high-value site visitors when they are close to making purchase decisions through a targeted and effective medium. Volta’s charging stations allow its content partners to reach their target customer demographic while they are engaged in their daily routines, whether shopping, working or pursuing recreational activities. With the growth of digital media and the use of data, advertisers can build on this location-targeting ability and alter advertising messages based on environmental conditions, including time of day, time of year and weather, making them all the more relevant and effective to their target audience. Site hosts are also able to partner with Volta with the goal of impacting the full funnel of behavior from their customers: influencing store choice, extending dwell-time and affecting purchase decisions. Furthermore, Volta believes that it offers a compelling halo effect to partners by increasing perception of the partners brands’ commitment to the environment and community, as potential customers begin to associate the brands with Volta and its commitment to sustainability.

Volta’s Solution and Go to Market Strategy

Volta’s solution is to provide a client-first model that uses commerce and charging to unlock the larger macro opportunity surrounding the disruption of fueling. By choosing Volta charging stations, charging becomes more than just an amenity that a site host can offer its customers — it can serve as an independent driver of revenue, loyalty and driver engagement for site hosts. Volta’s content partners similarly benefit from access to unique locations served by Volta’s EV charging stations, reaching audiences when they are about to enter retail facilities. Finally, Volta believes its core focus on the use of sustainable technology and its dedication to slowing climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions caused by transportation closely aligns with the values of its site hosts, content partners and the drivers that use Volta chargers.

Volta’s principal products and services are its EV charging stations and related services. Volta’s EV charging equipment consists of a managed network of content-driven Level 2 and DCFC chargers equipped with digital displays and Level 2 charging towers without digital displays. Volta’s EV charging network is facilitated by proprietary software that operates, maintains and monitors its EV charging stations and associated charging data. Volta remotely monitors and manages its EV charging stations to assist with driver engagement at host sites to provide EV drivers with vital station information, including charger location and availability. Volta’s content-driven charging stations also provide its commercial partners with an extensive network of digital displays in prime locations that drivers visit on a day-to-day basis.

In Volta’s primary business model, Volta leases premier space from real estate and retail partners and other site hosts to place its content-driven EV charging stations near site entrances, which are highly visible to both pedestrian and vehicular traffic, creating a desirable platform for brands and Volta’s commercial partners. Volta remains responsible for the installation, operation and maintenance of the charging stations. Volta derives revenue from the sale of the media display time to its commercial partners, as well as to site hosts who wish to display additional media content on Volta’s charging stations. As an alternative to Volta’s primary business model, it also sells content-driven EV charging stations to certain business partners and continues to perform the related installation, operation and maintenance services, while retaining the exclusive right to sell content on the charging stations for the duration of the contract term. Volta is moving from an open-access model which provides free charging to shoppers and visitors that use Volta charging stations, to a model where drivers will receive initial partner-sponsored free charging time followed by pay-for-use charging. Finally, Volta also derives revenue from licensing its PredictEVTM tool, a machine-learning built software tool that Volta uses for network planning, to utility companies, channel partners and other third parties to help them assess the impact that EV adoption and the shift to electric mobility will have on electricity demand in their service areas.

The Volta team also uses its proprietary network planning tool to leverage a data-driven approach to expansion of its EV charging network. Combined with the Volta team’s extensive expertise in developing and operating a comprehensive, highly reliable charging network and selecting and developing quality sites for chargers, Volta believes that the PredictEVTM tool enables it to take a holistic approach to EV charging focused on changes to commerce and behavior resulting from the shift to electric mobility.

231

The key elements of Volta’s go-to-market strategy include:

•        Behavior and Commerce.    Volta strives to develop and operate an EV charging network that leverages behavioral understanding to contribute in all phases of EV adoption. Volta views EV charging as more than just a fueling approach — it is an opportunity to develop sustainable and climate friendly EV infrastructure that allows drivers to maximize their time spent doing the things that matter most to them, while enabling Volta’s site hosts and commercial partners to attract and reach like-minded shoppers through a charging ecosystem that fits their daily needs. Volta’s goal is to master the questions of where people go, what they do and how they choose to spend, and to strategically plan its approach to EV charging around the behavior of drivers in a way that delivers value for both the driving community and Volta’s strategic partners.

•        Network Development.    Volta utilizes its proprietary network planning tool to predict charging demand and economic, social and grid impact across its target markets, which it believes enables it to maximize the efficiency and impact of its network. This machine learning-driven approach to demand forecasting allows Volta to predict the current and future need for charging services in a given market, facilitating planning of future expansion efforts and site, strategic partner and driver targeting with the goal of delivering the most electric miles per dollar invested. Volta leverages this data to manage relationships with national and local site hosts and content partners and provide them with additional opportunities to monitor and maximize the value provided by its charging stations and to help support initiatives that respond to network usage, performance and other optimization efforts. Volta believes this tool allows it to effectively and efficiently allocate its capital and strategic partner outreach efforts and to guide the ongoing management of its charging network.

•        Value-Added Charging Services.    By developing unique content-driven charging stations, located in premier locations at its host sites, Volta provides charging services that create value beyond just re-selling electricity. Volta’s award-winning, user-experience focused EV charging product family allows for tailored site planning to increase driver engagement and maximize utilization of its charging stations. By leveraging its content offerings to sponsor periods of free charging on its charging stations, Volta has delivered 84million free electric miles to drivers as of December31, 2020, driving up to ten hours of average daily usage and an average charging session length of 105 minutes on Volta’s charging stations in California, and up to ten hours daily use and 165 minutes per charging session nationwide. This high utilization and extended session use, which are among the best in the industry, have led to increased visitorship for Volta’s site hosts and greater impact for its commercial partners, adding value beyond just EV charging itself.

Volta is committed to sustainability, and believes this commitment is in line with the goals of its business partners and the larger community. For example, drivers using Volta’s charging stations have offset nearly 38million pounds of CO2 emissions from July25, 2014 to December31, 2020. Volta will continue to evaluate means by which to assess and improve its sustainability profile, though it cannot predict which, if any, such programs it may adopt in the future or at all.

Volta’s Driver Experience

Volta’s aim is to accelerate the EV movement by providing a seamless charging experience, thoughtfully located along the paths of EV drivers’ lives. The user experience is an important focus of Volta’s efforts and it combines its station lighting, driver interfaces, mobile application and driver communications to enhance the charging experience for drivers that use its stations. A key part of this approach is Volta’s development of its stylish, well-located and easy-to-use charging stations, which aim to make the charging process uncomplicated and enjoyable. Volta also facilitates the driver experience through its proprietary mobile application, available for iOS and Android, which provides EV drivers with vital station information, including the ability to locate EV charging stations on the Volta network, view real-time station status information, initiate EV charging sessions, report and troubleshoot any issues and view their charging history. Volta seeks to continuously innovate and expand the functionality of its mobile application and expects to release new features, such as station check-in and payment processing capabilities, in the near future. In addition, Volta has integrated all Volta charging stations into one network that is available to drivers who use the Volta mobile application, in order to make EV charging as seamless

232

as possible. Volta also intends to partner with OEMs and other mobile application providers to make the Volta mobile application available through EVs, in-dash navigation or other user interface systems, as well as through other mobile charging and map applications, to further simplify the user experience for drivers. Finally, Volta seeks to provide rapid and high-quality driver and equipment support to ensure that host sites can provide uninterrupted charging services and drivers can receive reliable charging for their EVs. Volta’s goal is to make it simple for drivers to find and use Volta’s charging stations, with minimal disruption to their daily routine.

In connection with locating its EV charging stations at its host sites, Volta is also responsible for installation, operation and maintenance of the EV charging stations, including delivering electricity to drivers who access its publicly available charging network. Volta is moving from an open-access model which provides free charging to shoppers and visitors that use Volta charging stations, to a model where drivers will receive initial partner-sponsored free charging time followed by pay-for-use charging. Volta also anticipates implementing additional pay-for-use charging features, including fees for charging time in excess of an initial free charging period, as well as idle fees for remaining connected to a station for more than a certain amount of time after charging is complete, and paid charging for its DCFC charging services. Volta also makes its mobile application available to drivers free of charge, which drivers can use to locate available chargers and initiate EV charging sessions, among other features. Volta installs its chargers in premium parking spaces owned or leased by commercial or public-entity site hosts that desire to provide EV charging services at their respective locations. Volta’s site hosts include retail centers, grocery stores, pharmacies, movie theaters, parking lots, healthcare/medical facilities, municipalities, sport and entertainment venues, parks and recreation areas, restaurants, schools and universities, certain transit and fueling locations and office buildings and other locations. Volta also provides certain site hosts with data to help them better understand charger utilization and driver engagement at their sites, as well as positive environmental impact from the charging services they are facilitating, based on the methodologies discussed above under “Volta’s Solution and Go to Market Strategy.”

Content Services

Volta sells content on its charging station digital displays to various national and regional businesses and content channel partners. Volta believes its EV charging stations provide a new investment thesis for marketers, helping them find real-world growth by leveraging the growing EV market opportunity, while solving for sustainability concerns of regulators and stakeholders, and making it easier to target their customer demographic on their daily routes. Volta can also use its proprietary network planning tool and data collection efforts to demonstrate the value proposition of its charging stations to content partners, using metrics showing superior utilization and increased retail engagement at its host sites. Volta’s advanced content systems also offer varying types of marketing opportunities and approaches to its content partners, including ad serving, programmatic buying, dynamic media and other ad tech innovations. Volta’s content clients include OEMs, national and regional retail, consumer packaged goods and professional services companies and various channel partners.

Additional Service Offerings

Volta uses its proprietary PredictEVTM planning software tool to predict and forecast expected grid capacity, EV charging penetration and expected charger utilization. In addition to using the PredictEVTM tool to provide information inputs for its network planning and to develop data-driven site and station recommendations, Volta also licenses the PredictEVTM tool to utility companies, channel partners and other third parties through a SaaS model. Volta’s licensing partners use its PredictEVTM tool to help them predict electricity demand in their service areas as driver demand for electricity, including EV charging, continues to expand, and to help manage grid capacity constraints and concerns as well as identify prospective EV charging penetration over time. Volta believes its PredictEVTM tool enables its licensing partners to be better prepared to react to and participate in the continuing build-out of EV infrastructure.

Volta’s Partnerships and Strategic Relationships

Volta is focused on establishing and maintaining strong long-term relationships with real estate and retail partners and site hosts with national and regional multi-site portfolios of commercial properties to build out its charging network. Such site hosts can span a wide array of industries and locations and currently include retail centers, grocery stores, pharmacies, movie theaters, parking lots, healthcare/medical facilities, municipalities, sport and entertainment venues, parks and recreation areas, restaurants, schools and universities, certain transit and fueling locations and office buildings and other locations. For Volta’s partners with multi-site portfolios, Volta executes master service agreements with site hosts that help facilitate conversion of prospect sites into developable locations by standardizing terms and conditions for site leasing and access. Volta’s management believes the benefits offered to site hosts by its business model will continue to provide Volta with access to the highest quality property owners and site hosts. Such access and continued premier placement of Volta’s stations will in turn allow it to continue demonstrating the benefits of its content offerings to its partners, leveraging the expansion of its EV charging station network to grow its relationships with key national and regional content partners as the Volta network scales.

The table below provides examples of Volta’s current and past commercial partners:

____________

(1)      Examples of current and past media partners.

Suppliers and Service Providers

Volta has invested in and maintains long-term relationships with suppliers and service providers. Volta designs its EV charging stations in-house with the assistance of professional design consultants and outsources production to contract manufacturers. At this stage of the industry, equipment can be unique to each supplier with respect to components and aftermarket maintenance and warranty services. Volta relies on a limited number of suppliers and manufacturers, and in some cases only a single supplier for some components, for the manufacture and supply of its charging stations. In addition, Volta is typically responsible for the installation of its charging stations at its partners’ sites. These installations are generally performed by electrical and civil contractors, consistent and in accordance with accepted industry practices. Those electrical and civil contractors are engaged and managed by Volta under the oversight of Volta’s construction project managers and site management personnel. To facilitate its installation and maintenance activities, Volta has formed relationships with construction and maintenance companies that have significant experience building and maintaining EV charging sites.

236

Competition

EV Charging

The EV charging market is relatively new and is increasingly competitive. Volta currently faces competition from a number of companies. Volta believes its current competitors to its EV charging owner-operator business activities are EVgo, Electrify America, Tesla and Rivian. There are also many other large and small EV charging companies that offer non-networked or “basic” chargers that have limited customer leverage but could provide a low-cost solution for basic charger needs in commercial and retail locations, such as Pod Point Limited, EVConnect, Inc. and Engie SA, as well EV charging equipment manufacturers that also compete with Volta, like ChargePoint, EVBox and Blink, in addition to charging networks being developed by OEMs or in partnership with any of the aforementioned competitors. The principal competitive factors in the EV charging industry include capital efficient deployment; number of revenue lines and diversity of revenue opportunities, charger utilization and pricing to drivers; charger connectivity to EVs and ability to charge all models and standards; charger network reliability, scale and local density; charger locations and accessibility; speed of charging relative to expected vehicle dwell times at the location; software-enabled services offerings and overall business partner and driver user experience; operator brand, track record and reputation; access to equipment vendors and service providers; installation expertise and costs; and policy incentives. Large initial stage markets require significant early capital expenditures, engagement across verticals and driver engagement to gain market share and continued effort to scale product and service offerings, channels, installers, teams and processes. There are also competitors who may have limited funding, experience or commitment to quality assurance, which could cause poor experiences, hampering overall EV adoption or trust in any particular provider of charging services. Volta believes these additional competitors may struggle with gaining the necessary network traction but could gain momentum in the future. Further, Volta’s current or potential competitors may be acquired by third parties with different commercial objectives and imperatives and greater available resources.

Volta believes it has a competitive advantage in delivering charging services driven by its unique business model, EV charging station design, charging station placement, network tools and the additional value Volta’s charging stations can deliver to its site hosts and business partners by combining content offerings with charging services to drive higher utilization as compared to Volta’s competitors.

Content

The place-based digital media industry is fragmented, consisting of a few traditional companies operating on a national basis, such as Outfront Media, Inc., Clear Channel Outdoor, Lamar, JCDecaux, Intersection and GSTV, as well as newer, digitally-forward, omni-channel platforms like Google, Facebook and Twitter, and hundreds of smaller regional and local companies operating a limited number of displays in a single or a few local geographic markets. Volta competes with all of these companies for its content customers. Volta also competes with other content, including broadcast and cable television, radio, print media, the internet and mobile and direct mail marketers, within their respective markets. In addition, Volta competes with a wide variety of out-of-home media, including media in shopping centers, grocery stores, movie theaters, transit locations and sports and entertainment venues. Advertisers compare relative costs of available media, cost per thousand impressions (CPMs), as well as markets, locations and audiences, particularly when delivering a message to customers with distinct demographic characteristics. In competing with other content, Volta intends to rely on its differentiated product and its content-driven charging station placement which can provide access to a high-value audience, historically unavailable locations, an uncluttered media experience, the opportunity to influence purchase and brand decisions immediately prior to site visitors entering a retail environment, a compelling halo effect for brands around alignment with sustainability and the growing ability to prove efficacy of digital content in the real world.

Governmental Regulation and Incentives

State, regional and local regulations for installation and operation of EV charging stations and place-based media content vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and may include, but are not limited to, permitting and sign code requirements, inspection requirements, licensing of contractors, certifications, environmental requirements, health and safety requirements and restrictions around digital display placement and content.

237

Compliance with such regulations is an important aspect of Volta’s ability to continue its operations and avoid additional costs and installation delays for its EV charging stations. The descriptions that follow are summaries and should be read in conjunction with the texts of the regulations described herein, which are subject to change. The descriptions do not purport to describe all present and proposed regulations affecting Volta’s business.

Grants and Incentives

Volta continuously pursues public grants, subsidies and incentives to reduce its capital expenditures. Volta has dedicated, and plans to further dedicate, a variety of internal and external resources to monitor, apply for and utilize available grant, subsidy and incentive funding for the development of charging infrastructure on a state, local and national level. Volta may inform its network expansion and local build plans based on expected timing for and availability of funding of this type. Volta has received grants from Eversource Energy, National Grid Rhode Island, National Grid Massachusetts, Entergy Corporation, and Maryland Energy Administration.

Volta intends to continue to vigorously seek additional grants, rebates, subsidies and incentives as an effective avenue to reduce its capital investment in the promotion, purchase and installation of charging stations where applicable.

Government Regulations to Enhance EV Adoption

Some governments provide incentives to end users and purchasers of EVs and EV charging stations in the form of rebates, tax credits and other financial incentives, such as payments for regulatory credits, as discussed in more detail below. The EV market relies on these governmental rebates, tax credits and other financial incentives to significantly lower the effective costs associated with EVs and EV charging stations.

For example, the regulations mandated by the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (“CAFE”) standards set the average new vehicle fuel economy, as weighted by sales, that a manufacturer’s fleet must achieve. The EPA has established vehicle carbon dioxide emissions standards through model year 2026 for light-duty vehicles; however, the Biden Administration has announced plans to reconsider these standards and has proposed to restore California’s authority to establish its own more stringent standards, which several other states have elected to follow. Although Volta is not a car manufacturer, and thus not directly subject to the CAFE standards, such standards may still indirectly affect Volta’s business. The adoption of more stringent standards may create further incentives for vehicle manufacturers to increase their EV offerings, which would likely result in increased demand for charging services. Additionally, several states, such as California, Massachusetts and New York, have adopted or are considering adopting bans on the sale of internal combustion engine vehicles by 2035.

LCFS Credits

Volta earns various tradable regulatory credits, in particular California’s LCFS credits, as well as carbon credits under comparable LCFS programs in other states. Volta earns credits for the kilowatt-hours distributed by its stations and, in certain cases, the installation of DCFC infrastructure under California’s Fast Charging Infrastructure program. Volta earns revenue from the sale of these credits, and expects to continue to sell future credits, to entities that generate deficits under the LCFS programs and are obligated to purchase the credits and use them to offset their deficits or emissions, primarily petroleum refiners and marketers, and other entities that can use the credits to comply with the program requirements, or through exchanges. Volta actively seeks to maximize the number of regulatory credits generated per kWh of energy dispensed energy. Volta’s management is actively monitoring proposed and newly enacted LCFS programs in other jurisdictions (including, for example, states, such as Massachusetts, New York, Colorado and Washington) as potential future revenue streams. The availability of such credits depends on continued governmental support for these programs and regulatory frameworks that make it possible for Volta to participate in these credit markets. There is no guarantee that such credits will continue to be available for sale or that regulatory restrictions would not be imposed on the proceeds from the sale of such credits in the future. Additionally, to the extent government incentives result in increased build-out of electric or other low-carbon fuel dispensing infrastructure that also produce LCFS or similar regulatory credits, the revenue received from the sale of such credits may diminish.

238

Other EV Charging Regulations

On December16, 2019, California adopted amendments to the state’s electric vehicle supply equipment specifications that prohibit, or will prohibit, public-charging operators from billing customers by the minute within the state. The prohibition on per-minute billing currently applies to all new Level 2 chargers installed or replaced on or after January1, 2021 and will apply to new DCFCs installed or replaced on or after January1, 2023. Chargers installed before 2021 can continue time-based billing until 2031 (for Level 2 chargers) or 2033 (for DCFCs).

California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia, Washington and the District of Columbia have determined that companies that sell EV charging services to the public will not be regulated as utilities. While these individual state determinations are not binding on any other regulator or jurisdiction, they demonstrate a trend in the way states view the nascent EV charging industry. Other jurisdictions are in the process of adopting such reforms.

Manufacturing and Safety Regulations

Volta does not directly manufacture or assemble its charging stations; however, Volta may still be subject to the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, as amended (“OSHA”). OSHA establishes certain employer responsibilities, including maintenance of a workplace free of recognized hazards likely to cause death or serious injury, compliance with standards promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and various record keeping, disclosure and procedural requirements. Various standards, including standards for notices of hazards, safety in excavation and demolition work and the handling of asbestos, may apply to Volta’s operations.

In addition, the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (“NEMA”) is the association of electrical equipment and medical imaging manufacturers. NEMA provides a forum for the development of technical standards that are in the best interests of the industry and users, advocacy of industry policies on legislative and regulatory matters, and collection, analysis, and dissemination of industry data.

Waste Handling and Disposal

Volta is subject to environmental laws and regulations regarding the handling and disposal of hazardous substances and solid wastes, including electronic wastes and batteries. These laws regulate the generation, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of solid and hazardous waste and may impose strict, joint and several liability for the investigation and remediation of areas where hazardous substances may have been released or disposed. For instance, CERCLA and comparable state laws impose liability, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons that contributed to the release of a hazardous substance into the environment. These persons include current and prior owners or operators of the site where the release of the hazardous substance occurred as well as companies that disposed or arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances found at the site. Under CERCLA, these persons may be subject to joint and several strict liability for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment, for damages to natural resources and the costs of certain health studies. CERCLA also authorizes the EPA and, in some instances, third parties to act in response to threats to the public health or the environment and seek to recover costs incurred from the responsible classes of persons. In the course of ordinary operations, Volta, through third parties and contractors, may handle hazardous substances within the meaning of CERCLA and similar state statutes and, as a result, may be jointly and severally liable for all or part of the costs required to clean up sites as which these hazardous substances have been released into the environment.

Volta may also be subject to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) and comparable state statutes for the generation or disposal of solid wastes, which may include hazardous wastes. RCRA regulates both solid and hazardous wastes, but in particular, imposes strict requirements on the generation, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of hazardous wastes. Provided that certain requirements are met, certain components of our charging stations may be excluded from RCRA’s hazardous waste regulations; however, if these components do not meet all established requirements for the exclusion to apply, or if the requirements for the exclusion change, Volta may be required to treat such products as hazardous waste which are subject to more rigorous and costly disposal requirements. Any changes in the laws or regulations, or any changes in Volta’s ability to qualify the materials used for exclusions under such laws and regulations, could adversely affect Volta’s operating expenses.

239

Place-Based Media Industry Regulations

The place-based media and outdoor media industry is subject to governmental regulation and enforcement at the federal, state and local levels in the United States. These regulations have a significant impact on the outdoor media industry and may have an impact on Volta’s content sales activities.

In particular, construction, repair, maintenance, lighting, upgrading, height, size, spacing, the location and permitting of outdoor digital displays and the use of new technologies for changeable displays, such as digital displays, are regulated by federal, state and local governments, and, from time to time, governments have prohibited or significantly limited the construction of new outdoor media displays or structures. Since digital displays have been developed and introduced relatively recently into the market on a large scale, existing regulations that currently do not apply to them by their terms could be revised or new regulations could be enacted to impose greater restrictions on digital displays due to alleged concerns over aesthetics or driver safety.

In recent years, outdoor media also has become the subject of other targeted taxes and fees and, from time to time, legislation has been introduced attempting to impose taxes on revenue from outdoor media or for the right to use outdoor media assets. In particular, a number of governments have implemented or initiated taxes, fees and registration requirements in an effort to decrease or restrict the number of outdoor signs and/or to raise revenue. Several jurisdictions have imposed such taxes as a percentage of outdoor media revenue generated in that jurisdiction or based on the size and type of display technology. These laws may affect prevailing competitive conditions in specified markets in a variety of ways. Such laws may reduce Volta’s expansion opportunities or may increase or reduce competitive pressure from other members of the outdoor media industry.

In addition, restrictions on the use of outdoor media to display certain products, services or other content have been imposed by federal, state and local laws and regulations. For example, tobacco products have been effectively banned from outdoor media in most jurisdictions and state and local governments in some cases limit outdoor advertising of alcohol. Further, certain municipalities may limit issue-based outdoor advertising or place restrictions on advertising off-site or off-premises products or services. Additional restrictions on outdoor media of certain products and services are or may be imposed by federal, state and local laws and regulations.

Intellectual Property

Volta protects its intellectual property and proprietary rights through patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret and unfair competition laws, augmented by its own confidentiality protocols. Volta undertakes actions as necessary to ensure that its proprietary rights are protected while at the same time respecting the intellectual property rights of other persons.

As of December31, 2020, Volta had 13 patents and 8 pending patent applications. Volta continues to regularly assess opportunities for seeking patent protection for those aspects of its technology, designs and methodologies that it believes provide a meaningful competitive advantage.

Employees

As of December31, 2020, Volta had 145 regular full-time employees. None of Volta’s employees are represented by a labor union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Volta has never experienced a work stoppage and believes it maintains positive relationships with its employees.

Facilities

Volta’s primary office is located at 155 De Haro St, San Francisco, California 94103, where Volta occupies facilities totaling approximately 8,480 rentable square feet under a lease that, as currently amended, expires in August 2025. Volta uses these facilities for office space and warehouse purposes. Volta believes its existing facilities are adequate for its current requirements.

240

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, Volta may become involved in actions, claims, suits and other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business, including assertions by third parties relating to intellectual property infringement, breaches of contract or warranties or employment-related matters. Volta is not currently a party to any actions, claims, suits or other legal proceedings the outcome of which, if determined adversely to Volta, would individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on Volta’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

241

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF TORTOISECORP

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes of TortoiseCorp included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations, estimates and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that may affect our future operating results or financial position. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. On September15, 2020 (the “IPO Closing Date”), we completed our Initial Public Offering of 34,500,000 TortoiseCorp Units, including 4,500,000 TortoiseCorp Units that were issued pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full. The TortoiseCorp Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds to us of approximately $345.0million. We incurred offering costs of approximately $19.5million, inclusive of approximately $12.1million in deferred underwriting commissions.

On September15, 2020, simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, we completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of 5,933,333 private placement warrants at a purchase price of $1.50 per warrant to Tortoise Borrower generating gross proceeds to us of approximately $8.9million.

Approximately $345.0million of the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement has been deposited in the Trust Account.

The Existing Organizational Documents provide that, other than the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, none of the funds held in the Trust Account will be released until the earliest of: (a) the completion of an Initial Business Combination; (b) the redemption of any public shares that have been properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Existing Organizational Documents to affect the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of such public shares if we have not consummated an Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period; or (c) the redemption of 100% of the public shares if we are unable to complete an Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of our creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of our public shareholders.

In connection with the Initial Public Offering, we entered into the Forward Purchase Agreement pursuant to which we may elect, in our sole and absolute discretion, to offer CIBC National Trust Company (“CIBC National Trust”) the opportunity to purchase Forward Purchase Units, consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share (the “Forward Purchase Shares”) and one-fourth of one redeemable warrant (the “Forward Purchase Warrants”), where each whole redeemable warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “Forward Purchase Units”), and, if CIBC National Trust accepts such offer, it commits to purchase at least a minimum aggregate amount equal to either (a) 10% of the gross proceeds from a private placement that may close simultaneously with the closing of our Initial Business Combination or (b) 10% of the gross proceeds from the Initial Public Offering (the “Minimum Aggregate Amount”), at CIBC National Trust’s sole discretion, and up to a maximum aggregate amount of $100,000,000 of Forward Purchase Units at a price per unit equal to the public offering price of the TortoiseCorp Units sold in the Initial Public Offering (the “Maximum Aggregate Amount”), in a private placement that will close simultaneously with the closing of our Initial Business Combination. The Forward Purchase Agreement is subject to conditions, including CIBC National Trust specifying the amount of units between the Minimum Aggregate Amount and Maximum Aggregate Amount (the “Specified Amount”) it wishes to purchase after we notify CIBC National Trust of our intention to offer it the opportunity to purchase Forward Purchase Units. We may specify, in our sole and absolute discretion and at any time prior to or after CIBC National Trust has indicated its Specified Amount, an amount below the Specified Amount that we are willing to sell to CIBC National Trust. CIBC National Trust may choose to accept our offer to purchase the Forward Purchase Units entirely within CIBC National Trust’s sole discretion. Accordingly, if CIBC National Trust does not accept our offer

242

to purchase the Forward Purchase Units, it will not be obligated to purchase the Forward Purchase Units. We entered into a Subscription Agreement with CIBC National Trust in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, pursuant to which CIBC National Trust agreed to purchase, subject to the satisfaction of applicable closing conditions, shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock. As a result, on February8, 2021, we delivered a notice to CIBC National Trust stating that we will not elect to offer CIBC National Trust the opportunity to purchase Forward Purchase Units pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement.

Restatement of Previously Issued Financials

On April12, 2021, the SEC Staff issued the SEC Staff Statement. In the SEC Staff Statement, the SEC Staff expressed its view that certain terms and conditions common to SPAC warrants may require the warrants to be classified as liabilities on the SPAC’s balance sheet as opposed to equity. Since issuance on September15, 2020, the TortoiseCorp Warrants were accounted for as equity within our balance sheet, and after discussion and evaluation, including with our independent registered public accounting firm and our audit committee, and taking into consideration the SEC Staff Statement, we have concluded that the TortoiseCorp Warrants should be presented as liabilities with subsequent fair value remeasurement.

As a result of the foregoing, on May6, 2021, the Audit Committee of the TortoiseCorp Board, in consultation with management, concluded that our previously issued financial statements for the periods beginning with the period from July24, 2020 (inception) through December31, 2020, and our unaudited interim financial statements as of, and for the quarterly period ended, September30, 2020 should be restated because of a misapplication in the guidance around accounting for the TortoiseCorp Warrants and should no longer be relied upon.

Historically, the TortoiseCorp Warrants were reflected as a component of equity as opposed to liabilities on the balance sheets and the statements of operations did not include the subsequent non-cash changes in estimated fair value of the TortoiseCorp Warrants, based on our application of FASB ASC Topic 815-40. The views expressed in the SEC Staff Statement were not consistent with the our historical interpretation of the specific provisions within our warrant agreements and application of ASC 815-40 to the warrant agreements. We reassessed our accounting for the TortoiseCorp Warrants issued on September15, 2020, in light of the SEC Staff’s published views. Based on this reassessment, we determined that the TortoiseCorp Warrants should be classified as liabilities measured at fair value upon issuance, with subsequent changes in fair value reported in our statement of operations each reporting period.

Our accounting for the TortoiseCorp Warrants as components of equity instead of as derivative liabilities did not have any effect on our previously reported revenue, operating expenses, operating income, cash flows or cash.

In connection with the restatement, our management reassessed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures for the periods affected by the restatement. As a result of that reassessment, we determined that our disclosure controls and procedures for such periods were not effective with respect to the classification of the TortoiseCorp Warrants as components of equity instead of as derivative liabilities.

We have not amended our previously filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period affected by the restatement. The financial information that has been previously filed or otherwise reported for these periods is superseded by the information in our Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and the financial statements and related financial information contained in such previously filed reports should no longer be relied upon.

The restatement is more fully described in Note 2 of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Proposed Business Combination

Business Combination Agreement

On February7, 2021, we entered into the Business Combination Agreement with First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub and Volta, pursuant to which (a) First Merger Sub will merge with and into Volta, with Volta surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Volta, and (b) as soon as practicable, but in any event within three days following the Effective Time and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, Volta (as the surviving entity of the First Merger) will merge with and into Second Merger Sub, with Second Merger Sub surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Volta.

243

The consummation of the Business Combination is subject to the approval of our shareholders and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions, and the transactions are expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2021. The Outside Date under (and as defined in) the Business Combination Agreement has been automatically extended to 240 days from 210 days as a result of Volta’s non-delivery of its PCAOB Financial Statements (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) within the 90-day period following execution of the Business Combination Agreement.

Additionally, such Written Consent Parties agreed, among other things, not to, prior to the Effective Time, (a) transfer any of their shares of Volta Common Stock and Volta Preferred Stock (or enter into any arrangement with respect thereto), subject to certain customary exceptions or (b) enter into any voting arrangement that is inconsistent with the Stockholder Support Agreement.

The Proposed Bylaws will include transfer restrictions on the New Volta securities issued to Volta stockholders in connection with the First Merger for a period of six months after the Closing.

244

Sponsor Letter

On February7, 2021, the initial shareholders entered into the Sponsor Letter with TortoiseCorp pursuant to which, among other things, the initial shareholders agreed to, (a) waive the anti-dilution rights set forth in Article 17.3 of the Existing Organizational Documents, (b) comply with the non-solicitation provisions in the Business Combination Agreement and (c) vote all TortoiseCorp Ordinary Shares held by them in favor of the adoption and approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination.

Subscription Agreements

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, on February7, 2021, TortoiseCorp entered into separate Subscription Agreements with each of the New Private Placement Investors, pursuant to which the New Private Placement Investors agreed to purchase, and TortoiseCorp agreed to sell to the New Private Placement Investors, an aggregate of 30,000,000 Private Placement Shares for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $300,000,000, in the Private Placement Financing.

The closing of the sale of the Private Placement Shares pursuant to the Subscription Agreements will take place substantially concurrently with the Closing and is contingent upon, among other customary closing conditions, the subsequent consummation of the Business Combination. The purpose of the Private Placement Financing is to raise additional capital for use by the post-combination company following the Closing.

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, TortoiseCorp agreed that, within 30 calendar days after the consummation of the Business Combination, New Volta will file with the SEC (at New Volta’s sole cost and expense) the Private Placement Resale Registration Statement, and New Volta will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Private Placement Resale Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (a) 60 calendar days (or 90 calendar days if the SEC notifies New Volta that it will review the Private Placement Resale Registration Statement) following the Closing and (b) the tenth business day after the SEC notifies New Volta that the Private Placement Resale Registration Statement will not be reviewed or will not be subject to further review.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any significant operations nor generated any operating revenue to date. Our only activities from inception through the IPO Closing Date related to our formation and the Initial Public Offering. Although we have not generated operating revenue, we have generated non-operating income in the form of investment income from investments held in the Trust Account. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company, as well as costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans.

For the period from July24, 2020 (inception) through December31, 2020, we had a net loss of approximately $28.0million, which consisted of approximately $27.0million loss from changes in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities, approximately $0.4million of general and administrative expenses and financing costs of approximately $0.6million.

As a result of the SEC Staff Statement, we now classify the TortoiseCorp Warrants at their fair value and adjust the warrant instruments to fair value at each reporting period. These liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statement of operations. For the periods form July24, 2020 (inception) through September30, 2020 and from July24, 2020 (inception) through December31, 2020, the change in fair value of the TortoiseCorp Warrants was an increase of $4,851,960 and in increase of $27,068,170, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December31, 2020, we had $0.9million in our operating bank account, and working capital of approximately $1.2million.

Our liquidity needs to date have been satisfied through a payment of $25,000 of expenses on our behalf by our Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares, the loan of approximately $181,000 from our Sponsor pursuant to an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) and the proceeds from the consummation of the Private

245

Placement not held in the Trust Account. We fully repaid the Note on September21, 2020. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an Initial Business Combination (including the Business Combination), our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide us Working Capital Loans. As of December31, 2020, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loan.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that TortoiseCorp will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity from the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of an Initial Business Combination (including the Business Combination) or one year from this filing. Over this time period, these funds will be used for payment of general and administrative expenses as well as expenses associated with consummating the Business Combination, or (in the event the Business Combination is not consummated) identifying, evaluating and performing due diligence on prospective target businesses and structuring, negotiating and consummating an Initial Business Combination.

Management is continuing to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have an effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations, the Closing of the Business Combination and/or search for another target company (in the event the Business Combination is not consummated), the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the balance sheet. The audited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

In July 2020, 7,187,500 Founder Shares were issued to our Sponsor in exchange for the payment of $25,000 of expenses on our behalf. In September 2020, we effected a share capitalization with respect to our Class B Ordinary Shares of 1,437,500shares thereof, resulting in our Sponsor holding an aggregate of 8,625,000 Founder Shares. In connection with the Initial Public Offering, our Sponsor transferred 35,000 Founder Shares to each of Juan J. Daboub, Karin M. Leidel and Sidney L. Tassin (collectively, the “Independent Directors”). The Founder Shares are identical to the Class A Ordinary Shares included in the TortoiseCorp Units sold in the Initial Public Offering except that the Founder Shares are Class B Ordinary Shares which automatically convert into Class A Ordinary Shares at the time of the Initial Business Combination and are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below.

The holders of the Founder Shares have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (a) one year after the completion of the Initial Business Combination and (b) subsequent to the Initial Business Combination, (i) if the last reported sale price of our Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, or (ii) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property.

Private Placement Warrants

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we completed the Private Placement of the private placement warrants to Tortoise Borrower, generating gross proceeds of approximately $8.9million. Each private placement warrant is exercisable for one Class A Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Initial Business Combination is not completed within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the public shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the private placement warrants will expire worthless. The private placement warrants will be non-redeemable for cash and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by Tortoise Borrower or its permitted transferees.

246

Tortoise Borrower and our officers and directors agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their private placement warrants until 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination.

Note Payable to Our Sponsor

On July29, 2020, our Sponsor agreed to loan us funds to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to the Note. The Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of 180 days and the closing of the Initial Public Offering. TortoiseCorp borrowed approximately $181,000 under the Note and repaid the Note in full on September21, 2020.

Administrative Services Agreement

Pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement between us and Tortoise Capital Advisors, L.L.C. (“Tortoise Capital Advisors”), an affiliate of our Sponsor, dated September10, 2020 (the “Administrative Services Agreement”), we agreed to pay Tortoise Capital Advisors a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and administrative support. Upon completion of the Initial Business Combination or our liquidation, the agreement will terminate. We incurred $36,667 for expenses in connection with the Administrative Services Agreement for the period from July24, 2020 (inception) through December31, 2020. No amounts were due as of December31, 2020.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to fair value of financial instruments and accrued expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. TortoiseCorp has identified the following as its critical accounting policies:

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

Class A Ordinary Shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares (including Class A Ordinary Shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A Ordinary Shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. Our Class A Ordinary Shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at December31, 2020, 28,382,615 Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of TortoiseCorp’s balance sheet.

Net Income Per Ordinary Share

Net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding during the period. We have not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 14,558,333 Class A Ordinary Shares in the calculation of diluted income per share, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.

Our statement of operations includes a presentation of income per share for Ordinary Shares subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income per share. Net income per ordinary share, basic and diluted for Class A Ordinary Shares are calculated by dividing the interest income (loss) earned on investment securities held in the Trust Account, net of applicable taxes available to be withdrawn from the Trust Account, which was $0.00 for the period from July24, 2020 (inception) through December31, 2020, by the weighted average

247

number of Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding for the period. Net loss per ordinary share, basic and diluted for Class B Ordinary Shares, is calculated by dividing the net loss of approximately $28.0million, less income attributable to Class A Ordinary Shares, by the weighted average number of Class B Ordinary Shares outstanding for the period.

Derivative Warrant Liabilities

We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815-15. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

We issued 8,625,000 warrants to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares to the public shareholders in our Initial Public Offering and issued 5,933,333 Private Placement Warrants to TortoiseEcofin Borrower. All of the outstanding TortoiseCorp Warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40. Accordingly, we recognize the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjust the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statement of operations. The fair value of the TortoiseCorp Warrants were initially measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model and subsequently, the fair value of the private placement warrants has been estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model each measurement date. The fair value of public warrants issued in connection with our Initial Public Offering have subsequently been measured based on the listed market price of such warrants.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Our management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December31, 2020, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

Contractual Obligations

As of December31, 2020, we did not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities.

On September10, 2020, we entered into an Administrative Services Agreement pursuant to which we have agreed to pay Tortoise Capital Advisors a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and administrative support. Upon completion of the Initial Business Combination or our liquidation, the agreement will terminate.

The underwriters of the Initial Public Offering were entitled to underwriting discounts and commissions of 5.5%, of which 2.0% (approximately $6.9million) was paid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering and 3.5% (approximately $12.1million) was deferred. The deferred underwriting discounts and commissions will become payable to the underwriters upon the consummation of the Initial Business Combination and will be paid from the amounts held in the Trust Account. The underwriters are not entitled to any interest accrued on the deferred underwriting discounts and commissions.

JOBS Act

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act will be allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of

248

new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (a) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the JOBS Act, (b) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (c) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting and Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (d) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the IPO Closing Date or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

INFORMATION ABOUT TORTOISECORP

Overview

TortoiseCorp is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. On September15, 2020, TortoiseCorp completed its Initial Public Offering of 34,500,000 TortoiseCorp Units, including 4,500,000 TortoiseCorp Units that were issued pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full. The TortoiseCorp Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds to us of approximately $345.0million. TortoiseCorp incurred offering costs of approximately $19.5million, inclusive of approximately $12.1million in deferred underwriting commissions.

On September15, 2020, simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, TortoiseCorp completed the private sale of 5,933,333 private placement warrants at a purchase price of $1.50 per warrant to Tortoise Borrower, an affiliate of the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to TortoiseCorp of approximately $8.9million.

Approximately $345.0million of the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the private placement warrants has been deposited in the Trust Account established for the benefit of the public shareholders.

The Existing Organizational Documents provide that, other than the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, none of the funds held in the Trust Account will be released until the earliest of: (a) the completion of an Initial Business Combination; (b) the redemption of any public shares that have been properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend our Existing Organizational Documents to affect the substance or timing of TortoiseCorp’s obligation to redeem 100% of such public shares if it has not consummated an Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period; or (c) the redemption of 100% of the public shares if TortoiseCorp is unable to complete an Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of TortoiseCorp’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the public shareholders.

In connection with the Initial Public Offering, TortoiseCorp entered into the Forward Purchase Agreement pursuant to which it may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to offer CIBC National Trust the opportunity to purchase units (the “Forward Purchase Units”), consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share and one-fourth of one redeemable warrant, where each whole redeemable warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, and, if CIBC National Trust accepts such offer, it commits to purchase at least a minimum aggregate amount equal to either (a) 10% of the gross proceeds the Private Placement Financing or (b) 10% of the gross proceeds from the Initial Public Offering, at CIBC National Trust’s sole discretion, and up to a maximum aggregate amount of $100,000,000 of Forward Purchase Units at a price per unit equal to the public offering price of the TortoiseCorp Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, in a private placement that will close simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Business Combination. The Forward Purchase Agreement is subject to conditions, including CIBC National Trust specifying the amount of units between the minimum aggregate amount and maximum aggregate amount it wishes to purchase after TortoiseCorp notifies CIBC National Trust of its intention to offer it the opportunity to purchase Forward Purchase Units. TortoiseCorp may specify, in its sole and absolute discretion and at any time prior to or after CIBC National Trust has indicated its Specified Amount, an amount below the specified amount that TortoiseCorp is willing to sell to CIBC National Trust. CIBC National Trust may choose to accept TortoiseCorp’s offer to purchase the Forward Purchase Units entirely within CIBC National Trust’s sole discretion. Accordingly, if CIBC National Trust does not accept TortoiseCorp’s offer to purchase the Forward Purchase Units, it will not be obligated to purchase the Forward Purchase Units. On February8, 2021, and in connection with CIBC National Trust entering into a Subscription Agreement as part of to the Private Placement Financing, TortoiseCorp delivered a notice to CIBC National Trust stating that TortoiseCorp will not elect to offer CIBC National Trust the opportunity to purchase Forward Purchase Units pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement.

250

TortoiseCorp intends to effectuate the Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of its Initial Public Offering, the sale of the private placement warrants and from additional issuances, if any, of shares, debt or a combination of shares and debt. However, TortoiseCorp cannot assure you that it will be able to complete the Business Combination. See also the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

Initial Business Combination

The NYSE rules require that we must complete one or more business combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount held in the Trust Account). In connection with its evaluation and approval of the Business Combination, the TortoiseCorp Board determined that the fair market value of Volta exceeded $1.4billion based on, among other things, comparable company EBITDA multiples and revenue multiples.

Redemption Rights for Holders of Public Shares

We are providing our public shareholders with the opportunity to elect to redeem their public shares for cash equal to a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to us to pay our taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, upon the consummation of the Business Combination, subject to the limitations described herein. As of December31, 2020, the amount in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to us to pay our taxes, is $10.00 per share. Our Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares and any public shares they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. The Founder Shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per share redemption price.

Submission of Initial Business Combination to a Shareholder Vote

The extraordinary general meeting to which this proxy statement/prospectus relates is being held to solicit your approval of, among other things, the Business Combination, which would constitute an Initial Business Combination under the terms of the Existing Organizational Documents. Unlike many other blank check companies, TortoiseCorp public shareholders are not required to vote against the Business Combination in order to exercise their redemption rights. If the Business Combination is not completed, then public shareholders electing to exercise their redemption rights will not be entitled to receive such payments. Our Sponsor, directors and officers have agreed to vote any Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares owned by them in favor of the Business Combination.

Limitation on Redemption Rights

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Existing Organizational Documents provide that a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemptions with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the Class A Ordinary Shares included in the units sold in the IPO.

Employees

TortoiseCorp currently has five officers. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters but they intend to devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to our affairs until we have completed our Initial Business Combination. The amount of time that they will devote in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for our Initial Business Combination and the stage of the business combination process we are in.

Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors

TortoiseCorp has five directors. The TortoiseCorp Board is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class (except for those directors appointed prior to TortoiseCorp’s first annual general meeting) serving a three-year term. The term of office of the first class of directors, consisting of Stephen Pang, will expire at our first annual general meeting. The term of office of the second class of directors, consisting of Juan J. Daboub and Karin M. Leidel, will expire at the second annual general meeting. The term of office of the third class of directors, consisting of Vincent T. Cubbage and Sidney L. Tassin, will expire at the third annual general meeting.

TortoiseCorp’s officers are appointed by the TortoiseCorp Board and serve at the discretion of the TortoiseCorp Board, rather than for specific terms of office. The TortoiseCorp Board is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in TortoiseCorp’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association as it deems appropriate. TortoiseCorp’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that TortoiseCorp’s officers may consist of a Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Vice Presidents, Secretary, Treasurer and such other offices as may be determined by the TortoiseCorp Board.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

The Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association do not require, and the TortoiseCorp Board has no policy with respect to, the separation of the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The TortoiseCorp Board believes that this is the most appropriate structure for TortoiseCorp because it believes that this issue is part of the succession planning process and that it is in the best interests of TortoiseCorp for the TortoiseCorp Board to make a determination regarding this issue each time it appoints a new Chief Executive Officer and during times of transition.

The Chairman has the general supervision and control of the acquisition activities of TortoiseCorp subject to the ultimate authority of the TortoiseCorp Board, and is responsible for the execution of the policies of the TortoiseCorp Board with respect to such matters. The Chief Executive Officer has general supervision of the affairs of TortoiseCorp and general control of all of its business subject to the ultimate authority of the TortoiseCorp Board, and is responsible for the execution of the TortoiseCorp Board with respect to such matters, except to the extent any such powers and duties have been prescribed to the Chairman.

The audit committee of the TortoiseCorp Board is responsible for discussing policies and guidelines to govern the process by which risk assessment and risk management is undertaken. The audit committee is also required to meet periodically with management to review and assess TortoiseCorp’s major financial risk exposures and the manner in which such risks are being monitored and controlled.

Director Independence

The NYSE listing standards require that a majority of the TortoiseCorp Board be independent. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person who has no material relationship with the listed company (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company). The TortoiseCorp Board has determined that Juan J. Daboub, Karin M. Leidel and Sidney L. Tassin are “independent directors” as defined in the NYSE listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Our independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

Committees of the TortoiseCorp Board

The TortoiseCorp Board has three standing committees: an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, the rules of the NYSE and Rule 10A under the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors. Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, the rules of the NYSE require that the compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors. The charter of each committee is available on our website, https://tortoisespac.com.

255

Audit Committee

The TortoiseCorp Board has established an audit committee of the board of directors. Juan J. Daboub, Karin M. Leidel and Sidney L. Tassin, all of whom are independent, serve as members of our audit committee. Sidney L. Tassin serves as chair of the audit committee. Each members of the audit committee is financially literate, and the TortoiseCorp Board has determined that Sidney L. Tassin qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules.

The TortoiseCorp Board has adopted an audit committee charter, which details the principal functions of the audit committee, including:

•        the appointment, compensation, retention, replacement, and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm and any other independent registered public accounting firm engaged by us;

•        pre-approving all audit and permitted non-audit services to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm or any other registered public accounting firm engaged by us, and establishing pre-approval policies and procedures;

•        reviewing and discussing with the independent registered public accounting firm all relationships the auditors have with us in order to evaluate their continued independence;

•        setting clear hiring policies for employees or former employees of the independent registered public accounting firm;

•        setting clear policies for audit partner rotation in compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

•        obtaining and reviewing a report, at least annually, from the independent registered public accounting firm describing (a) the independent auditor’s internal quality-control procedures and (b) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the audit firm, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities within the preceding five years respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm and any steps taken to deal with such issues;

•        reviewing and approving any related party transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC prior to us entering into such transaction; and

•        reviewing with management, the independent registered public accounting firm, and our legal advisors, as appropriate, any legal, regulatory or compliance matters, including any correspondence with regulators or government agencies and any employee complaints or published reports that raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies and any significant changes in accounting standards or rules promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC or other regulatory authorities.

Compensation Committee

The TortoiseCorp Board has established a compensation committee of the board of directors. Juan J. Daboub, Karin M. Leidel and Sidney L. Tassin serve as members of our compensation committee. Under the NYSE listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have at least two members of the compensation committee, all of whom must be independent. Juan J. Daboub, Karin M. Leidel and Sidney L. Tassin are independent. Juan J. Daboub serves as chair of the compensation committee.

The TortoiseCorp Board has adopted a compensation committee charter, which details the principal functions of the compensation committee, including:

•        reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our chief executive officer’s compensation, evaluating our chief executive officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our chief executive officer based on such evaluation;

256

•        reviewing and approving on an annual basis the compensation of all of our other officers;

•        reviewing on an annual basis our executive compensation policies and plans;

•        implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;

•        assisting management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;

•        approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our officers and employees;

•        if required, producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and

•        reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.

The charter also provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser and is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the compensation committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by the NYSE and the SEC.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The TortoiseCorp Board has established a nominating and corporate governance committee of the board of directors. The members of our nominating and corporate governance are Juan J. Daboub, Karin M. Leidel and Sidney L. Tassin. Karin M. Leidel serves as chair of the nominating and corporate governance committee.

The primary purposes of our nominating and corporate governance committee are to assist the board in:

•        identifying, screening and reviewing individuals qualified to serve as directors and recommending to the board of directors candidates for nomination for election at the annual meeting of stockholders or to fill vacancies on the board of directors;

•        developing, recommending to the board of directors and overseeing implementation of our corporate governance guidelines;

•        coordinating and overseeing the annual self-evaluation of the board of directors, its committees, individual directors and management in the governance of the company; and

•        reviewing on a regular basis our overall corporate governance and recommending improvements as and when necessary.

The nominating and corporate governance committee is governed by a charter that complies with the rules of the NYSE.

Committee Membership, Meetings and Attendance

During the fiscal year ended December31, 2020, the TortoiseCorp Board held two meetings, our audit committee held one meeting, our compensation committee held no meetings and our nominating and corporate governance committee held no meetings.

Each of our incumbent directors attended or participated in at least 75% of the meetings of the TortoiseCorp Board and the respective committees, of which he or she is a member, held during the period such incumbent director was a director during the fiscal year ended December31, 2020. We encourage all of our directors to attend our annual general meetings.

Director Nominations

Our nominating and corporate governance committee recommends to the TortoiseCorp Board candidates for nomination for election at the annual general meeting. The TortoiseCorp Board also considers director candidates

257

recommended for nomination by our shareholders during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to stand for election at the next annual general meeting (or, if applicable, an extraordinary general meeting). Our shareholders that wish to nominate a director for election to the TortoiseCorp Board should follow the procedures set forth in our Existing Organizational Documents.

We have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, the TortoiseCorp Board considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom and the ability to represent the best interests of our shareholders.

Shareholder Communications

The TortoiseCorp Board welcomes communications from our shareholders. Our shareholders may send communications to the TortoiseCorp Board, any committee of the TortoiseCorp Board, the Chairman of the TortoiseCorp Board or any other director in particular to:

Tortoise Acquisition Corp. II

5100 W. 115th Place

Leawood, Kansas 66211

Our shareholders should mark the envelope containing each communication as “Shareholder Communication with Directors” and clearly identify the intended recipient(s) of the communication. TortoiseCorp’s General Counsel will review each communication received from our shareholders and will forward the communication, as expeditiously as reasonably practicable, to the addressee(s) if: (a) the communication complies with the requirements of any applicable policy adopted by the TortoiseCorp Board relating to the subject matter of the communication; and (b) the communication falls within the scope of matters generally considered by the TortoiseCorp Board. To the extent the subject matter of a communication relates to matters that have been delegated by the TortoiseCorp Board to a committee or to an executive officer of TortoiseCorp, then TortoiseCorp’s General Counsel may forward the communication to the executive officer or chairman of the committee to which the matter has been delegated. The acceptance and forwarding of communications to the members of the TortoiseCorp Board or an executive officer does not imply or create any fiduciary duty of the TortoiseCorp Board members or executive officer to the person submitting the communications.

Code of Ethics and Committee Charters

We have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees. Our Code of Ethics and our audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committee charters are available on our website, https://tortoisespac.com, under the “Investor Information” tab. In addition, a copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided without charge upon request from us in writing at 5100 W. 115th Place, Leawood, KS or by telephone at (913) 981-1020. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our Code of Ethics in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

Conflicts of Interest

Under Cayman Islands law, directors and officers owe the following fiduciary duties:

•        duty to act in good faith in what the director or officer believes to be in the best interests of the company as a whole;

•        directors should not improperly fetter the exercise of future discretion;

•        duty to exercise authority for the purpose for which it is conferred;

•        duty not to put themselves in a position in which there is a conflict between their duty to the company and their personal interests; and

•        duty to exercise independent judgment.

258

In addition to the above, directors also owe a duty of care which is not fiduciary in nature. This duty has been defined as a requirement to act as a reasonably diligent person having both the general knowledge, skill and experience that may reasonably be expected of a person carrying out the same functions as are carried out by that director in relation to the company and the general knowledge, skill and experience of that director.

As set out above, directors have a duty not to put themselves in a position of conflict and this includes a duty not to engage in self-dealing, or to otherwise benefit as a result of their position at the expense of the company. However, in some instances what would otherwise be a breach of this duty can be forgiven and/or authorized in advance by the shareholders provided that there is full disclosure by the directors. This can be done by way of permission granted in the Existing Organizational Documents or, alternatively, by shareholder approval at general meetings.

Tortoise manages several investment vehicles. Tortoise and its affiliates may compete with us for acquisition opportunities. If these entities or companies decide to pursue any such opportunity, we may be precluded from pursuing such opportunities. In addition, investment ideas generated within Tortoise may be suitable for both us and for current or future Tortoise Funds and may be directed to such affiliates rather than to us. Neither Tortoise nor members of our management team who are also employed by Tortoise have any obligation to present us with any opportunity for a potential business combination of which they become aware. Tortoise and/or our management, in their capacities as partners, officers or employees of Tortoise or in their other endeavors, may be required to present potential business combinations to the related entities described above, current or future affiliates of Tortoise, or third parties, before they present such opportunities to us.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may pursue a business combination opportunity with any affiliates of Tortoise or the Tortoise Funds. Such entities may co-invest with us in the target business at the time of our Initial Business Combination, or we could raise additional proceeds to complete the acquisition by issuing to such entity a class of equity or equity-linked securities. Each of our officers and directors presently has, and any of them in the future may have additional fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entity. Accordingly, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such opportunity to such other entity, subject to their fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. We do not believe, however, that the fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of our officers or directors will materially affect our ability to complete our business combination. In addition, we may pursue a business combination opportunity with an entity to which an officer or director has a fiduciary or contractual obligation. Any such entity may co-invest with us in the target business at the time of our Initial Business Combination, or we could raise additional proceeds to complete the acquisition by issuing to such entity a class of equity or equity-linked securities. Our Existing Organizational Documents provide that we renounce our interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of our company and such opportunity is one we are legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for us to pursue.

Our Sponsor, officers and directors may become involved with subsequent blank check companies similar to the Company. Investors and potential investors should also be aware of the following other potential conflicts of interest:

•        None of our officers or directors is required to commit his or her full time to our affairs and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating his or her time among various business activities.

•        In the course of their other business activities, our officers and directors may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as the other entities with which they are then affiliated. Our management may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.

•        Our initial shareholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and any public shares held by them in connection with the consummation of an Initial Business Combination. Additionally, our initial shareholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if we fail to consummate an Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. If we do not complete an Initial Business Combination within the

259

Combination Period, the proceeds of the sale of the private placement warrants held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of our public shares, and the private placement warrants will expire worthless. Furthermore, our initial shareholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any Founder Shares held by them until one year after the date of the consummation of our Initial Business Combination or earlier if, subsequent to our Initial Business Combination, (a) the last sale price of our Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our initial business combination or (b) we consummate a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property. With certain limited exceptions, the private placement warrants and the Class A Ordinary Shares underlying such warrants will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of our Initial Business Combination. Since our Sponsor and officers and directors own Ordinary Shares and TortoiseCorp Warrants, our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our Initial Business Combination.

•        Our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers and directors was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our Initial Business Combination.

•        Our Sponsor, officers or directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a business combination and financing arrangements as we may obtain loans from our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or any of our officers or directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended Initial Business Combination. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period.

The conflicts described above may not be resolved in our favor.

We are not prohibited from pursuing an Initial Business Combination with a company that is affiliated with our Sponsor, officers or directors or making the acquisition through a joint venture or other form of shared ownership with our Sponsor, officers or directors. In the event we seek to complete our Initial Business Combination with a business combination target that is affiliated with our Sponsor, officers or directors, we, or a committee of independent directors, would obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm which is a member of FINRA or from an independent accounting firm that such Initial Business Combination is fair to our company from a financial point of view. We are not required to obtain such an opinion in any other context. Volta is not affiliated with our Sponsor or any of our officers or directors.

Furthermore, in no event will our Sponsor or any of our existing officers or directors, or any of their respective affiliates, be paid by the company any finder’s fee, consulting fee or other compensation prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the completion of our Initial Business Combination. Further, we currently pay an amount equal to $10,000 per month to Tortoise Capital Advisors, an affiliate of our Sponsor, for office space, utilities, secretarial support and administrative services provided to us.

We cannot assure you that any of the above-mentioned conflicts will be resolved in our favor.

We will complete the Business Combination only if we obtain the approval of an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote (in person, online or by proxy) of a majority of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and actually casting votes thereon at the extraordinary general meeting, voting as a single class. Our initial shareholders have agreed to vote any Founder Shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of our Initial Business Combination, which includes the Business Combination, and our officers and directors have also agreed to vote any public shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of the Business Combination.

260

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against willful default, fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our Existing Organizational Documents provide that our officers and directors are indemnified by us to the fullest extent permitted by law, as it now exists or may in the future be amended, including for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud, willful default or willful neglect.

Our officers and directors have agreed, and any persons who may become officers or directors prior to our Initial Business Combination will agree, to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account, and to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any services provided to us and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever. Accordingly, any indemnification provided will only be able to be satisfied by us if (a) we have sufficient funds outside of the Trust Account or (b) we consummate an Initial Business Combination.

Our indemnification obligations may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against our officers or directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders. Furthermore, a shareholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against our officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

We believe that these provisions, the insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.

261

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

TortoiseCorp

None of our officers or directors have received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. Commencing on the date that our securities were first listed on the NYSE through the earlier of consummation of our Initial Business Combination and our liquidation, we have agreed to pay Tortoise Capital Advisors, an affiliate of our Sponsor, a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial support and administrative services. In addition, our Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our Sponsor, officers or directors, or our or their respective affiliates. Any such payments prior to an Initial Business Combination will be made using funds held outside the Trust Account. Other than quarterly audit committee review of such reimbursements, we do not expect to have any additional controls in place governing our reimbursement payments to our directors and officers for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with our activities on our behalf in connection with identifying and consummating an Initial Business Combination. Other than these payments and reimbursements, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, will be paid by TortoiseCorp to our Sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to completion of our Initial Business Combination.

In the event that the Business Combination is approved, we expect that certain of our directors and officers will continue to serve as part of the management team of New Volta in the capacity of directors. We also expect that (a) members of the New Volta management team will receive equity-based incentive compensation awards from time to time pursuant to the 2021 Plan, subject to approval of “Proposal No. 6 — The 2021 Plan Proposal” and that (b) certain members of the New Volta management team will receive equity-based incentive compensation awards pursuant to the Founder Plan, subject to approval of “Proposal No. 7 — The Founder Plan Proposal.”

For more information about the interests of our Sponsor, directors and officers in the Business Combination, see the subsection entitled “The Business Combination — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination.”

Volta

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Volta will be considered a smaller reporting company and an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the JOBS Act and has opted to comply with the executive compensation disclosure rules applicable to such companies. These rules provide for reduced compensation disclosure for the principal executive officer and the two most highly compensated executive officers other than the principal executive officer (the “named executive officers”). This section provides an overview of Volta’s executive compensation programs, including a narrative description of the material factors necessary to understand the information disclosed in the summary compensation table below.

Volta’s named executive officers for fiscal year 2020 are:

•        Scott Mercer, Chief Executive Officer;

•        Christopher Wendel, President; and

•        James DeGraw, General Counsel and Chief Administrative Officer.

The Volta Board, with input from Volta’s Chief Executive Officer, has historically determined the compensation for Volta’s named executive officers. The Volta Board has designed, and intends to modify as necessary, its compensation and benefits programs to attract, retain, incentivize and reward talented and qualified executives who share its philosophy and desire to work towards achieving Volta’s goals. Volta believes its compensation programs should promote the success of the company and align executive incentives with the long-term interests of its stockholders. Volta’s current compensation programs reflect its startup origins and consist primarily of salary, bonus and equity awards. As Volta’s needs evolve, it intends to continue to evaluate its philosophy and compensation programs as circumstances require.

Volta Option Plan

General.    The Volta Board originally adopted, and Volta’s stockholders approved, the Volta Option Plan on December15, 2014, and the Volta Option Plan was last amended on December26, 2018. The Volta Option Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options to Volta employees (and employees of any parent or majority-owned subsidiary of Volta), and for the grant of non-statutory stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights to Volta employees, directors and consultants (and employees and consultants of any parent or majority-owned subsidiary of Volta). TortoiseCorp intends to assume the Volta Option Plan in the Business Combination and to amend, restate and re-name the Volta Option Plan into the form of the 2021 Plan effective as of the Closing Date. The terms of the Volta Option Plan as described herein will continue to govern the terms and conditions of the outstanding awards previously granted thereunder.

Share Reserve.    Volta reserved an aggregate of 2,188,158shares of Volta Class A Common Stock and 26,580,398shares of Volta Class B Common Stock under the Volta Option Plan. As of March31, 2021, (i) Volta Options to purchase 112,009shares of Volta Class A Common Stock and Volta Options to purchase 8,504,617shares of Volta Class B Common Stock were outstanding, and (ii) no shares of Volta Class A Common Stock and 2,001,243shares of Volta Class B Common Stock were available for future grants.

Plan Administration.    The Volta Board has administered the Volta Option Plan. It is expected that the compensation committee of the New Volta Board will administer the Volta Option Plan following the Closing Date.

264

Types of Awards.    The Volta Option Plan provides for the grant of incentive Volta Options, non-statutory Volta Options, Volta Restricted Stock, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights.

Stock Options.    The Volta Board has discretion to grant incentive or non-statutory Volta Options under the Volta Option Plan, provided that incentive Volta Options may only be granted to employees. The exercise price per share applicable to such Volta Options must generally be equal to at least the fair market value per share of Volta Class A Common Stock or Volta Class B Common Stock, as applicable, on the date of grant. The term of Volta Options may not exceed ten years; provided, however, that any incentive Volta Option granted to a participant who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Volta Common Stock, or of certain of Volta’s subsidiary corporations, may not have a term in excess of five years and must have an exercise price per share equal to at least 110% of the fair market value per share of Volta Class A Common Stock or Volta Class B Common Stock, as applicable, on the grant date. Subject to the provisions of the Volta Option Plan, the Volta Board has discretion to determine the remaining terms of the Volta Options (e.g., vesting). After the termination of a participant’s service, the participant may only exercise his or her Volta Option, to the extent vested, for a specified period of time stated in his or her option agreement. Generally, if termination is due to death or disability, the Volta Option will remain exercisable for 18months and 12months following the termination of service, respectively. In all other cases except for a termination for cause, the Volta Option will generally remain exercisable for three months following the termination of service. In the event of a termination for cause, the Volta Option will immediately terminate. However, in no event may a Volta Option be exercised later than the expiration of its maximum term.

Restricted Stock.    The Volta Board has discretion to grant Volta Restricted Stock under the Volta Option Plan. Volta Restricted Stock are generally shares of Volta Class A Common Stock or Volta Class B Common Stock that are issued or sold to a participant pursuant to the Volta Option Plan and subject to repurchase by Volta under certain circumstances and that are fully vested at grant or that will vest in accordance with terms and conditions established by the Volta Board, in its sole discretion. The Volta Board has discretion to determine the number of shares that the participant may receive or purchase, the price to be paid (if any) and the time by which the participant must accept the shares/offer.

Restricted Stock Units.    The Volta Board has discretion to grant restricted stock units under the Volta Option Plan. Each restricted stock unit is a bookkeeping entry representing an amount equal to the fair market value of one share of Volta Class A Common Stock or Volta Class B Common Stock, as applicable. The Volta Board, in its discretion, determines whether restricted stock units should be granted, the total units granted and/or the vesting terms applicable to such units. Participants holding restricted stock units will hold no voting rights by virtue of such restricted stock units. The Volta Board may, in its sole discretion, award dividend equivalents in connection with the grant of restricted stock units. Restricted stock units may be settled in cash, shares of Volta Class A Common Stock or Volta Class B Common Stock, as applicable, or any combination thereof or in any other form of consideration, as determined by the Volta Board, in its sole discretion.

Stock Appreciation Rights.    The Volta Board has discretion to grant stock appreciation rights under the Volta Option Plan and to determine the terms and conditions of each stock appreciation right, except that the exercise price for each stock appreciation right cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares of Volta Class A Common Stock or Volta Class B Common Stock, as applicable, on the date of grant. Upon exercise of a stock appreciation right, a participant will receive payment from Volta in an amount determined by multiplying the difference between the fair market value of a share on the date of exercise over the exercise price by the number of shares with respect to which the stock appreciation right is exercised. Stock appreciation rights may be paid in cash, shares of Volta Class A Common Stock or Volta Class B Common Stock, as applicable, or any combination thereof, or in any other form of consideration, as determined by the Volta Board in its discretion. Stock appreciation rights are exercisable at the times and on the terms established by the Volta Board, in its discretion.

Non-transferability of Awards.    Unless the Volta Board provides otherwise, awards granted under the Volta Option Plan are generally not transferable.

Certain Adjustments.    In the event of certain corporate events or changes in Volta’s capitalization, to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits available under the Volta Option Plan, the Volta Board will make adjustments to one or more of the number, kind and class of securities that may be delivered under the Volta Option Plan and/or the number, kind, class and price of securities covered by each outstanding award.

265

Dissolution or liquidation.    In the event of Volta’s dissolution or liquidation, each outstanding award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such action, unless otherwise determined by the Volta Board.

Change in Control.    The Volta Option Plan provides that in the event of a change in control, unless otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement or as determined by the Volta Board at the time of grant, outstanding awards will be assumed, cancelled if not exercised/settled or cashed out in lieu of exercise as determined by the Volta Board.

Amendment or Termination.    The Volta Board may amend or terminate the Volta Option Plan at any time, provided such action does not impair the rights or obligations of any participant without his or her consent. In addition, stockholder approval must be obtained to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with applicable laws.

Benefits and Perquisites

Volta provides benefits to its named executive officers on the same basis as provided to all of its employees, including health, dental and vision insurance; health savings account; life insurance; subsidies in the form of reimbursements up to $200 per month for the lease or purchase of EVs; and a tax-qualified Section 401(k) plan for which Volta matches 100% of contributions up to 4% of the employee’s salary.

The following discussion describes the amounts and benefits that would have been owed to the named executive officers in the event of certain terminations of employment or change in control as of the end of fiscal year 2020 under the employment agreements and Carve-Out Plan (as defined below).

Employment Agreements.    Each of the named executive officers has entered into an employment agreement with Volta as described above in the section titled “Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table.” Each employment agreement with Volta’s named executive officers provides for an initial term that continues until the one-year anniversary of the effective date of the agreement and shall thereafter automatically renew for successive additional one-year terms unless Volta or the named executive officer provides at least 90 days’ written notice of their intent not to renew the agreement; provided however, the named executive officer’s employment shall continue to be at-will and Volta or the named executive officer may terminate the named executive officer’s employment earlier at any time, for any reason, with or without cause and with or without notice.

Volta may terminate any of the employment agreements with the named executive officers immediately for “cause” (as defined in the applicable employment agreement). If the employment of a named executive officer is terminated by Volta without “cause” or terminates as a result of his death or disability, the named executive officer resigns for “good reason” (as defined in the applicable employment agreement) or, solely with respect to Mr.DeGraw, Volta elects not to renew the agreement, the named executive officer will be entitled to receive the

268

following severance benefits, subject to his execution of a release of claims in favor of Volta, its affiliates and any of their present, former and future owners, members, directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents, servants, representatives, attorneys, predecessors, successors and assigns: (i) continued payment of his base salary for the lesser of the balance of the term of the agreement or six months following his termination date, (ii) acceleration of all outstanding unvested equity awards, (iii) any unpaid annual bonus for the completed fiscal year prior to the termination date, which bonus will be paid at the same time bonuses are paid to other senior executives and (iv) reimbursement or payment of COBRA premiums charged for coverage that exceeds the amount paid for similar coverage by active employees for up to twelve months following the named executive officer’s termination date. Mr.Wendel’s agreement also provides for a severance payment, subject to his execution of a release of claims in favor of Volta, if Mr.Wendel resigns for good reason in connection with Mr.Mercer’s termination from his position as Volta’s Chief Executive Officer without cause, with such severance payment equal to 25% of the amount that Mr.Wendel would otherwise receive under the Management Carveout Plan. However, as noted below, the Management Carveout Plan will terminate effective as of the day prior to, and contingent upon, the closing of the Business Combination, and, after such time, Mr.Wendel will no longer be eligible for this severance payment.

Pursuant to each of the employment agreements with the named executive officers, the named executive officer is also entitled to full acceleration of all outstanding unvested equity awards if Volta consummates a “change of control” (as defined in the applicable employment agreement) during the term of the agreement.

Management Carve-Out Plan.    Pursuant to the Volta Management Carve-Out Plan (the “Carve-Out Plan”), in the event of a “liquidity transaction” (as defined in the Carve-Out Plan), Mr.Mercer and Mr.Wendel would each be eligible to receive 2% of the “aggregate proceeds” (as defined in the Carve-Out Plan), subject to their execution of a release of claims in favor of Volta. On February4, 2021, the Volta Board, Mr.Mercer and Mr.Wendel approved termination of the Carve-Out Plan, effective as of the day prior to, and contingent upon, the closing of the Business Combination.

Post-Closing Executive Compensation Arrangements

This section describes the plans and arrangements New Volta intends to maintain following the consummation of the Business Combination for the benefit of its employees, including the named executive officers.

2021 Plan.    In connection with the Business Combination, the TortoiseCorp Board will adopt the 2021 Plan, subject to shareholder approval, in order to facilitate the grant of equity awards to attract, retain and incentivize employees (including the named executive officers), independent contractors and directors of New Volta and its affiliates, which is essential to New Volta’s long term success. The 2021 Plan is a continuation of the Volta Option Plan, which will be assumed from Volta and amended, restated and re-named into the form of the 2021 Plan effective as of the consummation of the Business Combination. For additional information about the 2021 Plan, please see “Proposal No. 6 — The 2021 Plan Proposal.”

Founder Plan.    In connection with the Business Combination, the TortoiseCorp Board will adopt the Founder Plan, subject to shareholder approval, in order to facilitate the grant of equity awards to Mr.Mercer and Mr.Wendel, who are essential to New Volta’s long-term success. For additional information about the Founder Plan, please see “Proposal No. 7 — The Founder Plan Proposal.”

2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.    In connection with the Business Combination, the TortoiseCorp Board will adopt the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, subject to stockholder approval, in order to allow employees of New Volta and its affiliates to purchase shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock at a discount through payroll deductions and to benefit from stock price appreciation, thus enhancing the alignment of employee and stockholder interests. For additional information about the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, please see “Proposal No. 8 — The 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal.”

Director Compensation

Historically, Volta has neither had a formal compensation policy for its non-employee directors, nor has it had a formal policy of reimbursing expenses incurred by its non-employee directors in connection with their board service. Volta has occasionally granted stock options to its non-employee directors. However, Volta did not provide its non-employee directors who will be non-employee directors of New Volta, with any cash, equity or other compensation in 2020. Neither Mr.Mercer nor Mr.Wendel received any additional compensation for service as a director for 2020.

269

Volta’s non-employee directors held the following aggregate number of stock options as of December31, 2020:

Name	Shares Subject to Outstanding Stock Options
Eli Aheto	—
Martin Lauber	—
Katherine Savitt	150,000
Bonita Stewart	—
John Tough	—

Certain of Volta’s non-employee directors are affiliated with entities which hold Volta securities. See “Beneficial Ownership of Securities” and “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Volta’s Related Party Transactions” contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus for further information.

Non-Employee Director Compensation Arrangements

In connection with the Business Combination, the New Volta Board will adopt a new non-employee director compensation policy effective upon the closing of the Business Combination. The new policy is designed to attract and retain high quality non-employee directors by providing competitive compensation and to align their interests with the interests of New Volta stockholders through equity awards.

Specifically, the new policy will provide for the following annual cash retainers, which will be payable quarterly in arrears and pro-rated for partial quarters of service (including for the partial quarter of service performed following the closing of the Business Combination):

Annual Board Member Service Retainer

•        All Outside Directors: $60,000

•        Outside Director serving as Chairperson or Lead Outside Director: $30,000 (in addition to above)

•        Chairperson of the Audit Committee: $20,000

•        Chairperson of the Compensation Committee: $15,000

•        Chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee: $10,000

Equity Compensation

As described below, non-employee directors will receive equity awards under the 2021 Plan annually and upon their initial appointment to the New Volta Board, as follows:

•        Upon initial election or appointment to the New Volta Board, a stock option or restricted stock unit award, as determined by the New Volta Board, with a grant date value of $200,000, which will vest in three equal annual instalments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the non-employee director’s continuous service through each applicable vesting date; and

270

•        At each annual stockholder meeting following the non-employee director’s appointment to the New Volta Board and such director’s service on the New Volta Board for a minimum of six months, an additional stock option or restricted stock unit award, as determined by the New Volta Board, with a grant date value of $150,000, which will vest in full upon the earlier of the first anniversary of the date of grant or the next annual stockholder meeting, subject to the non-employee director’s continuous service through the applicable vesting date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for each non-employee director who remains in continuous service as a member of the New Volta Board until immediately prior to the consummation of a “change in control” (as defined in the 2021 Plan), any unvested portion of an equity award granted in consideration of such non-employee director’s service as a member of the New Volta Board will vest in full immediately prior to, and contingent upon, the consummation of such change in control.

The New Volta Board will also have discretion to grant additional equity awards to certain outside directors for services to New Volta that exceed the standard expectations for an outside director or for other circumstances determined to be appropriate by the New Volta Board. New Volta will also reimburse directors for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with attending board and committee meetings.

Family Relationships

There are no familial relationships among the New Volta directors and executive officers.

Board Composition

If the Proposed Organizational Documents are approved, upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the New Volta Board will be comprised of eight directors and will be divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. At each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors to directors whose terms then expire will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following election. New Volta’s directors will be divided among the three classes as follows:

•        the Class I directors will be              and              and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2022;

•        the Class II directors will be              ,              and              and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2023; and

•        the Class III directors will be              ,              and              and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2024.

Directors in a particular class will be elected for three-year terms at the annual meeting of stockholders in the year in which their terms expire. As a result, only one class of directors will be elected at each annual meeting of New Volta stockholders, with the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective three-year terms. Each director’s term continues until the election and qualification of his or her successor, or the earlier of his or her death, resignation or removal. This classification of the New Volta Board may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in New Volta’s control or management.

275

The Proposed Organizational Documents that will be in effect upon the completion of this offering provided that only the New Volta Board can fill vacant directorships, including newly-created seats. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the authorized number of directors would be distributed pro rata among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class would consist of one-third of the authorized number of directors. The Proposed Organizational Documents will also provide that New Volta’s directors may only be removed for cause and by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares entitled to vote in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

Director Independence

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the New Volta Board is expected to determine that each of the directors serving on the New Volta Board, other than Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel, will qualify as an independent director, as defined under the listing rules of NYSE, and the New Volta Board will consist of a majority of “independent directors,” as defined under the applicable rules of the SEC and NYSE relating to director independence requirements. In addition, New Volta will be subject to certain rules of the SEC and NYSE relating to the membership, qualifications and operations of the audit committee, as discussed below.

Following the completion of the Business Combination, Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel will control a majority of the voting power of New Volta’s outstanding capital stock. As a result, New Volta will be a “controlled company” under NYSE rules. As a controlled company, New Volta will be exempt from certain NYSE corporate governance requirements, including those that would otherwise require the New Volta Board to have a majority of independent directors and require that New Volta establish a compensation committee comprised entirely of independent directors, or otherwise ensure that the compensation of its executive officers and nominees for directors are determined or recommended to the board of directors by the independent members of the New Volta Board. While New Volta does not currently intend to rely on any of these exemptions, it will be entitled to do so for as long as New Volta will be considered a “controlled company,” and to the extent it relies on one or more of these exemptions, holders of New Volta Common Stock will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the NYSE corporate governance requirements.

Board Leadership Structure

The New Volta Board does not have a policy requiring the positions of the Chairperson of the board of directors and Chief Executive Officer to be separate or held by the same individual. The New Volta Board believes that this determination should be based on circumstances existing from time to time, based on criteria that are in New Volta’s best interests and the best interests of its stockholders, including the composition, skills and experience of the board and its members, specific challenges faced by New Volta or the industry in which it operates and governance efficiency. The New Volta Board intends to adopt Corporate Governance Guidelines, effective as of the consummation of the Business Combination, which will provide for the appointment of a lead independent director at any time when the Chairperson is not independent.

Board Committees

Effective as of the consummation of the Business Combination, the New Volta Board will establish an audit committee, a compensation committee, a risk committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee, each of which will have the composition and responsibilities described below. The New Volta Board and its committees will set schedules for meeting throughout the year and can also hold special meetings and act by written consent from time to time, as appropriate. The New Volta Board will delegate various responsibilities and authority to its committees and the committees will regularly report on their activities and actions to the full board of directors. Members will serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by the New Volta Board. The New Volta Board may establish other committees to facilitate the management of New Volta’s business as it deems necessary or appropriate from time to time.

Each committee of the New Volta Board will operate under a written charter approved by the New Volta Board. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, copies of each charter will be posted on the Investor Relations section of New Volta’s website at www.voltacharging.com. The inclusion of the post-combination company’s website address or the reference to New Volta’s website in this proxy statement/prospectus does not include or incorporate by reference the information on Volta’s website into this proxy statement/prospectus.

276

Audit Committee

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, New Volta’s audit committee will be comprised of              ,              and              , with             serving as audit committee chairperson. The New Volta Board has determined that             ,             and             will each meet the requirements for independence and financial literacy under the current NYSE listing standards and SEC rules and regulations, including Rule 10A-3. In addition, the New Volta Board expects to determine that             is an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act. This designation does not impose any duties, obligations or liabilities that are greater than are generally imposed on members of the audit committee and the New Volta Board. The audit committee will be responsible for, among other things:

•        selecting a qualified firm to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit New Volta’s financial statements;

•        helping to ensure the independence and overseeing the performance of the independent registered public accounting firm;

•        reviewing and discussing the results of the audit with the independent registered public accounting firm and reviewing, with management and that firm, New Volta’s interim and year-end operating results;

•        reviewing New Volta’s financial statements and critical accounting policies and estimates;

•        reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of New Volta’s internal controls;

•        developing procedures for employees to submit concerns anonymously about questionable accounting, internal accounting controls or audit matters;

•        overseeing New Volta’s policies on financial risk assessment and risk management;

•        overseeing compliance with New Volta’s code of business conduct and ethics;

•        reviewing related party transactions; and

•        approving or, as permitted, pre-approving all audit and all permissible non-audit services (other than de minimis non-audit services) to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm.

The audit committee will operate under a written charter, to be effective on the date of the consummation of the Business Combination, which satisfies the applicable rules of the SEC and the listing standards of the NYSE, and which will be available on New Volta’s website upon the consummation of the Business Combination. All audit services to be provided to New Volta and all permissible non-audit services, other than de minimis non-audit services, to be provided to New Volta by New Volta’s independent registered public accounting firm will be approved in advance by the audit committee.

Compensation Committee

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, New Volta’s compensation committee will be comprised of             ,             and             , and             will be the chairperson of the compensation committee. The New Volta Board has expects to determine that each member of the compensation committee meets the requirements for independence under the current NYSE listing standards and SEC rules and regulations. Each member of the committee will be a non-employee director, as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the compensation committee will be responsible for, among other things:

•        reviewing, approving and determining, or making recommendations to the New Volta Board regarding, the compensation of New Volta’s executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer;

•        making recommendations regarding non-employee director compensation to the full New Volta Board;

277

•        reviewing, approving and administering incentive compensation and equity compensation plans; and

The compensation committee will operate under a written charter, to be effective on the date of the consummation of the Business Combination, which satisfies the applicable rules of the SEC and NYSE listing standards, and will be available on New Volta’s website upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the nominating and corporate governance committee will be comprised of             ,             and             , and             will be the chairperson of the nominating and corporate governance committee. The New Volta Board expects to determine that each member of the nominating and corporate governance committee meets the requirements for independence under the current NYSE listing standards and SEC rules and regulations. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the nominating and corporate governance committee will be responsible for, among other things:

•        identifying, evaluating and selecting, or making recommendations to the New Volta Board regarding nominees for election to the New Volta Board and its committees;

•        considering and making recommendations to the New Volta Board regarding the composition of the New Volta Board and its committees;

•        overseeing New Volta’s corporate governance practices;

•        overseeing the evaluation and the performance of the New Volta Board and individual directors; and

•        contributing to succession planning.

The nominating and corporate governance committee will operate under a written charter, to be effective on the date of the consummation of the Business Combination, which satisfies the applicable rules of the SEC and the NYSE listing standards and will be available on New Volta’s website upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

Risk Committee and Board Oversight of Risk

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, New Volta’s risk management committee will be comprised of             and             , with             serving as risk committee chairperson. The New Volta Board expects to determine that             and             will each meet the requirements for independence under the current NYSE listing standards and SEC rules and regulations.

Upon the consummation of Business Combination, one of the key functions of the New Volta Board will be informed oversight of New Volta’s risk management process. The New Volta Board anticipates administering this oversight function through a standing risk committee, as well as through the various other standing committees of the New Volta Board that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, the New Volta Board and the risk committee will be responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure, including the strategies, policies, procedures, processes and systems established by New Volta to identify, assess, measure, monitor and manage the major risks faced by New Volta. New Volta’s audit committee will have the responsibility to consider New Volta’s major financial risk exposures and the steps its management will take to monitor and control such exposures. The compensation committee will assess and evaluate the risks associated with New Volta’s overall compensation philosophy, plans and programs and the nominating and corporate governance committee will also monitor the effectiveness of New Volta’s governance guidelines.

The risk committee will operate under a written charter, to be effective on the date of the consummation of the Business Combination, which will be available on New Volta’s website upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

278

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

The New Volta Board will adopt a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that will apply to all of New Volta’s directors, officers and employees, including New Volta’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics will be available on the Corporate Governance section of New Volta’s website. In addition, New Volta intends to post on the Corporate Governance section of New Volta’s website all disclosures that are required by law or the listing standards of the NYSE concerning any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of the intended members of the New Volta compensation committee is or has been at any time one of New Volta’s officers or employees. None of New Volta’s expected executive officers currently serves, or in the past fiscal year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee (or other board of directors committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire board of directors) of any entity that has or has had one or more executive officers serving as a member of the New Volta Board or compensation committee.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, which will be effective upon consummation of the Business Combination, limits New Volta’s directors’ liability to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL. The DGCL provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability:

•        for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit;

•        for any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

•        for any unlawful payment of dividends or redemption of shares; or

•        for any breach of a director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders.

If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of New Volta’s directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.

Delaware law and the Proposed Bylaws, which will be effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, provide that New Volta will, in certain situations, indemnify New Volta’s directors and officers and may indemnify other employees and other agents, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Any indemnified person is also entitled, subject to certain limitations, to advancement, direct payment or reimbursement of reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding.

In addition, New Volta will enter into separate indemnification agreements with New Volta’s directors and officers. These agreements, among other things, will require New Volta to indemnify its directors and officers for certain expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by a director or officer in any action or proceeding arising out of their services as one of New Volta’s directors or officers or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at New Volta’s request.

New Volta plans to maintain a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy pursuant to which New Volta’s directors and officers are insured against liability for actions taken in their capacities as directors and officers. We believe these provisions in the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed Bylaws, which will be effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, and these indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or control persons, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

279

COMPARISON OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS

TortoiseCorp is a Cayman Islands exempted company. The Cayman Islands Companies Act (As Revised) and the Existing Organizational Documents govern the rights of TortoiseCorp’s shareholders. The Cayman Islands Companies Act (As Revised) differs in some material respects from laws generally applicable to United States corporations and their stockholders. In addition, the Existing Organizational Documents will differ in certain material respects from the Proposed Organizational Documents. As a result, when you become a stockholder of New Volta, your rights will differ in some regards as compared to when you were a shareholder of TortoiseCorp.

Below is a summary chart outlining important similarities and differences in the corporate governance and rights associated with owning shares of TortoiseCorp, as a Cayman Islands exempted company, and New Volta, as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware.

This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Existing Organizational Documents, the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B, and the Proposed Bylaws, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C. You should review each of the Proposed Organizational Documents, as well as the DGCL and the Cayman Islands Companies Act (As Revised), for more information as to how these laws apply to New Volta and TortoiseCorp, respectively.

	Delaware	Cayman Islands
Stockholder/Shareholder Approval of Business Combinations	Mergers generally require approval of a majority of all outstanding shares. Mergers in which less than 20% of the acquirer’s stock is issued generally do not require acquirer stockholder approval. Mergers in which one corporation owns 90% or more of a second corporation may be completed without the vote of the second corporation’s board of directors or stockholders.	Mergers require a special resolution, and any other authorization as may be specified in the relevant articles of association. Parties holding certain security interests in the constituent companies must also consent. All mergers (other than parent/subsidiary mergers) require shareholder approval — there is no exception for smaller mergers. Where a bidder has acquired 90% or more of the shares in a Cayman Islands company, it can compel the acquisition of the shares of the remaining shareholders and thereby become the sole shareholder. A Cayman Islands company may also be acquired through a “scheme of arrangement” sanctioned by a Cayman Islands court and approved by 50%+1 in number and 75% in value of shareholders in attendance and voting at a shareholders’ meeting.
Stockholder/Shareholder Votes for Routine Matters	Generally, approval of routine corporate matters that are put to a stockholder vote require the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter.	Under the Cayman Islands Companies Act (As Revised) and the Existing Organizational Documents, routine corporate matters may be approved by an ordinary resolution (being the affirmative vote (in person, online or by proxy) of a majority of the holders of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares entitled to vote entitled to vote and actually casting votes thereon at the extraordinary general meeting, voting as a single class).

280

	Delaware	Cayman Islands
Appraisal Rights	Generally, a stockholder of a publicly traded corporation does not have appraisal rights in connection with a merger.	Minority shareholders that dissent from a Cayman Islands statutory merger are entitled to be paid the fair market value of their shares, which if necessary may ultimately be determined by the court.
Inspection of Books and Records	Any stockholder may inspect the corporation’s books and records for a proper purpose during the usual hours for business.	Shareholders generally do not have any rights to inspect or obtain copies of the register of shareholders or other corporate records of a company.
Stockholder/Shareholder Lawsuits	A stockholder may bring a derivative suit subject to procedural requirements (including adopting Delaware as the exclusive forum as per Advisory Organizational Documents Proposal 4E).	In the Cayman Islands, the decision to institute proceedings on behalf of a company is generally taken by the company’s board of directors. A shareholder may be entitled to bring a derivative action on behalf of the company, but only in certain limited circumstances.
Fiduciary Duties of Directors	Directors must exercise a duty of care and duty of loyalty and good faith to the company and its stockholders.	A director owes fiduciary duties to a company, including to exercise loyalty, honesty and good faith to the company as a whole. In addition to fiduciary duties, directors of TortoiseCorp owe a duty of care, diligence and skill. Such duties are owed to the company but may be owed direct to creditors or shareholders in certain limited circumstances.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers	A corporation is generally permitted to indemnify its directors and officers acting in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.	A Cayman Islands company generally may indemnify its directors or officers except with regard to fraud or willful default.
Limited Liability of Directors	Permits limiting or eliminating the monetary liability of a director to a corporation or its stockholders, except with regard to breaches of duty of loyalty, intentional misconduct, unlawful repurchases or dividends, or improper personal benefit.	Liability of directors may be unlimited, except with regard to their own fraud or willful default.

281

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

If the Business Combination is consummated, New Volta will replace its Existing Organizational Documents with the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed Bylaws in the form attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B and Annex C, which, in the judgment of the TortoiseCorp Board, is necessary to adequately address the needs of the post-combination company.

The following summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed Bylaws, copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B and Annex C. We urge you to read the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed Bylaws in their entirety for a complete description of the rights and preferences of the post-combination company’s securities following the Business Combination.

For more information on the Organizational Documents Proposal and Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals, see the sections entitled “Proposal No. 3 — The Organizational Documents Proposal” and “Proposal No. 4 — The Advisory Organizational Documents Proposals.”

Capital Stock

Authorized Capitalization

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation will authorize the issuance of 410,000,000shares of capital stock, consisting of three classes: 350,000,000shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock, 50,000,000shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock and 10,000,000shares of New Volta Preferred Stock. We expect to have approximately 174,365,276shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock and 11,431,899shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock outstanding immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, assuming none of the outstanding public shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, and 139,865,276shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock and 11,431,899shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock outstanding immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, assuming all outstanding public shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination.

282

to acquire such shares, as the case may be), with holders of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Class B Common Stock receiving, on a per share basis, an identical number of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Class B Common Stock, as applicable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the New Volta Board may pay or make a disparate dividend or distribution per share of New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Class B Common Stock (whether in the amount of such dividend or distribution payable per share, the form in which such dividend or distribution is payable, the timing of the payment, or otherwise) if such disparate dividend or distribution is approved in advance by both (a) the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock and (b) the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

Rights Upon Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up

Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation or by applicable law, each holder of New Volta Class B Common Stock shall have the right to ten votes per share of New Volta Class B Common Stock held of record by such holder.

Subject to preferences that may apply to any shares of New Volta Preferred Stock outstanding at the time, shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Class B Common Stock will be treated equally, identically and ratably, on a per share basis, with respect to any dividends or distributions as may be declared and paid from time to time by the New Volta Board out of any assets of New Volta legally available therefor; provided, however, that in the event a dividend is paid in the form of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Class B Common Stock (or rights to acquire such shares), then holders of New Volta Class A Common Stock will receive shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock (or rights to acquire such shares, as the case may be) and holders of New Volta Class B Common Stock will receive shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock (or rights

283

to acquire such shares, as the case may be), with holders of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Class B Common Stock receiving, on a per share basis, an identical number of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Class B Common Stock, as applicable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the New Volta Board may pay or make a disparate dividend or distribution per share of New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Class B Common Stock (whether in the amount of such dividend or distribution payable per share, the form in which such dividend or distribution is payable, the timing of the payment, or otherwise) if such disparate dividend or distribution is approved in advance by both (a) the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock and (b) the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

Rights Upon Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up

Subject to any preferential or other rights of any holders of New Volta Preferred Stock then outstanding, upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of New Volta, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Class B Common Stock will be entitled to receive ratably all assets of New Volta available for distribution to its stockholders unless disparate or different treatment of the shares of each such class with respect to distributions upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up is approved in advance by both (a) the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock and (b) the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

Other Rights

The holders of New Volta Class B Common Stock will not have preemptive or other subscription rights. There will be no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the New Volta Class B Common Stock. The New Volta Class B Common Stock will be convertible into shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock on a one-to-one basis at the option of the holders of the New Volta Class B Common Stock at any time upon written notice to New Volta. In addition, the New Volta Class B Common Stock will automatically convert into shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the close of business on the earliest to occur of (a) the later of (i) ten years from the date of filing of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and (ii) the date that is one year after the first date on which neither Scott Mercer nor Christopher Wendel is serving as an executive officer or director of New Volta; (b) the date that is one year after the death or permanent disability of the last to die or become disabled of Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel; and (c) the date specified by the affirmative vote of the holders of New Volta Class B Common Stock representing not less than two-thirds of the voting power of the outstanding shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock, voting separately as a single class. The New Volta Class B Common Stock will also automatically convert into New Volta Class A Common Stock upon a transfer of the New Volta Class B Common Stock, other than certain permitted transfers specified in the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of shares of New Volta Class B Common Stock will be subject to those of the holders of any shares of New Volta Preferred Stock that New Volta may issue in the future.

New Volta Preferred Stock

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation provides that shares of New Volta Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The New Volta Board will be authorized to fix the designation, vesting, powers (including voting powers), preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights (and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof) of the shares of each such series and to increase (but not above the total number of authorized shares of the class) or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any such series.

The number of authorized shares of New Volta Preferred Stock may also be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of New Volta entitled to vote thereon, without a separate vote of the holders of the New Volta Preferred Stock or any series thereof, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to the terms of any certificate of designation designating a series of New Volta Preferred Stock.

284

The New Volta Board will be able to, subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law, without stockholder approval, issue New Volta Preferred Stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Class B Common Stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of the New Volta Board to issue New Volta Preferred Stock without stockholder approval, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of New Volta or the removal of New Volta’s management and may adversely affect the market price of New Volta Class A Common Stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of New Volta. New Volta will have no New Volta Preferred Stock outstanding at the date the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation becomes effective. Although the TortoiseCorp Board does not currently intend to issue any shares of New Volta Preferred Stock, we cannot assure you that the New Volta Board will not do so in the future.

Warrants

Public Warrants

Public warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional public warrants will be issued upon separation of the TortoiseCorp Units and only whole public warrants will trade. The public warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination (or any other Initial Business Combination) and (b) 12months from the closing of our IPO; provided in each case that we have an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the New Volta Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the public warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder (or we permit holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under certain circumstances). We have agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of the Business Combination, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC and have an effective registration statement covering the New Volta Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to the New Volta Class A Common Stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the Warrant Agreement. If a registration statement covering the New Volta Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective 60 business days after the closing of the Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, we may, at our option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” and, in the event we so elect, we will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event we do not so elect, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

The warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination or any other Initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. In addition, if we issue additional New Volta Class A Common Stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of New Volta Class A Common Stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the TortoiseCorp Board and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the Newly Issued Price.

Once the warrants become exercisable, we may redeem the outstanding warrants for cash (except as described herein with respect to the private placement warrants):

•        in whole and not in part;

•        at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

•        upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

285

•        if, and only if, the last sale price of the New Volta Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

We will not redeem the warrants for cash unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the New Volta Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to the New Volta Class A Common Stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period, except if the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

Commencing 90 days after the warrants become exercisable, we may redeem the outstanding warrants for New Volta Class A Common Stock:

•        in whole and not in part;

•        at a price equal to a number of shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock to be determined by reference to an agreed table based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of the New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

•        if, and only if, the last sale price of the New Volta Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted per share sub-divisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) on the trading day prior to the date on which we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

The “fair market value” of the New Volta Class A Common Stock means the average reported last sale price of the New Volta Class A Common Stock for the ten trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants.

In no event will we be required to net cash settle any warrant. If we are unable to complete the Business Combination or any other Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period and we liquidate the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from our assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

Private Placement Warrants

The private placement warrants are identical to the public warrants underlying the TortoiseCorp Units sold in the IPO, except that the private placement warrants and the New Volta Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants will not be transferrable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination or any other Initial Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the private placement warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the private placement warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the private placement warrants will be redeemable by TortoiseCorp and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the public warrants.

Our Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent

The transfer agent for our Ordinary Shares (and, after the consummation of the Business Combination, the New Volta Common Stock) and the warrant agent for our warrants is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. We have agreed to indemnify Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company in its roles as transfer agent and warrant agent, its agents and each of its stockholders, directors, officers and employees against all claims and losses that may arise out of acts performed or omitted for its activities in that capacity, except for any liability due to any gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the indemnified person or entity.

286

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law and our Proposed Organizational Documents

We will not opt out of Section 203 of the DGCL under the Proposed Organizational Documents. Under Section 203 of the DGCL, New Volta will be prohibited from engaging in any business combination with any stockholder for a period of three years following the time that such stockholder (the “interested stockholder”) came to own at least 15% of the outstanding voting stock of New Volta (the “acquisition”), except if:

•        the New Volta Board approved the acquisition prior to its consummation;

•        the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock upon consummation of the acquisition; or

•        the business combination is approved by the New Volta Board, and by a 2/3 majority vote of the other stockholders in a meeting.

Generally, a “business combination” includes any merger, consolidation, asset or stock sale or certain other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with that person’s affiliates and associates, owns, or within the previous three years owned, 15% or more of our voting stock.

Under certain circumstances, declining to opt out of Section 203 of the DGCL will make it more difficult for a person who would be an “interested stockholder” to effect various business combinations with New Volta for a three-year period. This may encourage companies interested in acquiring New Volta to negotiate in advance with the New Volta Board because the stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if the New Volta Board approves the acquisition which results in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder.

This may also have the effect of preventing changes in the New Volta Board and may make it more difficult to accomplish transactions which stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

Written Consent by Stockholders

Under the Proposed Organizational Documents, subject to the rights of any series of New Volta Preferred Stock then outstanding, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of New Volta must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of New Volta and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders.

Special Meeting of Stockholders

Under the Proposed Organizational Documents, special meetings of stockholders of New Volta may be called only by the chairperson of the New Volta Board, the chief executive officer or president of New Volta, the lead independent director of the New Volta Board or the New Volta Board acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships, and may not be called by any other person or persons. Only such business shall be considered at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been stated in the notice for such meeting.

Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations

Under the Proposed Bylaws, advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors and of business to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of the stockholders of New Volta shall be given in the manner and to the extent provided in New Volta’s bylaws.

Listing of Securities

We have applied to continue the listing of the New Volta Class A Common Stock and New Volta Warrants on the NYSE under the symbols “VLTA” and “VLTA WS,” respectively, upon the Closing. The TortoiseCorp Units will automatically separate into the component securities upon consummation of the Business Combination and, as a result, will no longer trade as a separate security.

SECURITIES ACT RESTRICTIONS ON RESALE OF NEW VOLTA COMMON STOCK

Rule 144

Pursuant to Rule 144, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of New Volta Common Stock or New Volta Warrants for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (a) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (b) we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and have filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12months (or such shorter period as we were required to file reports) preceding the sale. Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock or New Volta Warrants for at least six months but who are affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:

•        1% of the total number of shares of such New Volta securities then-outstanding; or

•        the average weekly reported trading volume of such New Volta securities during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

Sales by our affiliates under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.

Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies

Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met:

•        the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;

•        the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

•        the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and materials required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Current Reports on Form 8-K; and

•        at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

As a result, our initial shareholders will not be able to sell their New Volta Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144 without registration until one year after we have completed the Business Combination or any other Initial Business Combination, although these shares may be sold sooner to the extent they have been registered on a registration statement that has been declared effective by the SEC.

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES

The following table sets forth information known to TortoiseCorp regarding (a) the actual beneficial ownership of our Ordinary Shares as of the record date (prior to the Domestication, Business Combination and Private Placement Financing) and (b) the expected beneficial ownership of our voting common stock immediately following consummation of the Domestication, Business Combination and Private Placement Financing, assuming that no public shares of TortoiseCorp are redeemed, and alternatively the maximum redemptions scenario, which assumes that 34,500,000 Class A Ordinary Shares are redeemed as further described in the subsection entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information — Note 1 — Basis of Presentation,” resulting in an aggregate payment of $345.0million out of the Trust Account, in each case, by:

•        each person who is, or is expected to be, the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock;

•        each of our named executive officers and directors;

•        each person who will become a named executive officer or director of New Volta post-Business Combination; and

•        all current executive officers and directors of TortoiseCorp, as a group pre-Business Combination and all executive officers and directors of New Volta post-Business Combination.

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days.

The beneficial ownership of our Ordinary Shares prior to the Domestication, Business Combination and Private Placement Financing is based on 43,125,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding in the aggregate as of March31, 2021.

The expected beneficial ownership of shares of our voting common stock immediately following consummation of the Domestication, Business Combination and Private Placement Financing, assuming none of our public shares are redeemed, (a) assumes (i) that none of TortoiseCorp’s initial shareholders or the Historical Rollover Shareholders purchase Class A Ordinary Shares in the open market, (ii) that there are no other issuances of equity interests of TortoiseCorp or Volta and no repurchases of Volta Restricted Stock and (iii) that there are no exercises of Volta Options or Volta Warrants and (b) does not take into account New Volta Warrants that will remain outstanding following the Business Combination and may be exercised at a later date.

The expected beneficial ownership of shares of our voting common stock immediately following consummation of the Domestication, Business Combination and Private Placement Financing, assuming the maximum redemptions scenario where 34,500,000 public shares have been redeemed, (a) assumes (i) that none of TortoiseCorp’s initial shareholders or the Historical Rollover Shareholders purchase Class A Ordinary Shares in the open market, (ii) that there are no other issuances of equity interests of TortoiseCorp or Volta and no repurchases of Volta Restricted Stock and (iii) that there are no exercises of Volta Options or Volta Warrants and (b) does not take into account New Volta Warrants that will remain outstanding following the Business Combination and may be exercised at a later date.

Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of voting common stock beneficially owned by them.

Shares of New Volta Common Stock that may be acquired by an individual or group within 60 days of March31, 2021, pursuant to the exercise of options or warrants, are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of such individual or group, but are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person shown in the table.

289

Unless otherwise indicated, the address for each Volta stockholder listed is: 155 De Haro Street San Francisco, CA 94103.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

TortoiseCorp Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On July29, 2020, the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for certain expenses on behalf of the Company in exchange for issuance of 7,187,500 Founder Shares. In September 2020, the Company effected a share capitalization of 1,437,500 Founder Shares, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 8,625,000 Founder Shares. All shares and associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the share capitalization. The holders of the Founder Shares agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 1,125,000 Founder Shares, on a pro rata basis, to the extent that the option to purchase additional units is not exercised in full by the underwriters, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. The over-allotment option was exercised in full on September11, 2020; thus, these shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

The holders of the Founder Shares have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (a) one year after the completion of the Initial Business Combination and (b) subsequent to the Initial Business Combination, (i) if the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, or (ii) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property.

Private Placement Warrants

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, TortoiseCorp completed the Private Placement of 5,933,333 private placement warrants at a price of $1.50 per private placement warrant in the Private Placement to Tortoise Borrower, generating gross proceeds of approximately $8.9million.

Each private placement warrant is exercisable for one Class A Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering to be held in the Trust Account. If TortoiseCorp does not complete an Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The private placement warrants will be non-redeemable for cash and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by Tortoise Borrower or its permitted transferees.

Tortoise Borrower and TortoiseCorp’s officers and directors agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their private placement warrants until 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination.

Administrative Services Agreement

Pursuant the Administrative Services Agreement between TortoiseCorp and Tortoise Capital Advisors, dated September10, 2020, TortoiseCorp agreed to pay Tortoise Capital Advisors a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and administrative support. Upon completion of the Initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the agreement will terminate. During the period from July24, 2020 (inception) through December31, 2020, the Company incurred $36,667 in expenses for these services, which is included in general and administrative expenses on the audited condensed statement of operations. No amounts were due as of December31, 2020.

In addition, the Sponsor, the Company’s officers and directors or any of their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf such as identifying potential partner businesses and performing due diligence on a suitable Initial Business Combination. The Company’s audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by the Company to the Sponsor, the Company’s officers or directors or any affiliates of the Company or the Company’s officers or directors. Any such payments prior to an Initial Business Combination will be made using funds held outside the Trust Account.

293

Related Party Loans and Advances

On July29, 2020, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $600,000 to be used for the payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to the Note. The Note was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Company borrowed approximately $181,000 under the Note and repaid the Note in full on September21, 2020.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an Initial Business Combination, the Sponsor, certain of the Company’s officers and directors or any of their respective affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes an Initial Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that an Initial Business Combination is not completed within the Combination Period, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of an Initial Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1.5million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-combination company at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of December31, 2020, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, private placement warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the private placement warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares), and any Class A Ordinary Shares held by the initial shareholders, the Sponsor and Tortoise Borrower at the completion of the Initial Public Offering or acquired prior to or in connection with the Initial Business Combination, are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands that TortoiseCorp offer such securities in an underwritten offering. These holders also have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to certain underwritten offerings TortoiseCorp may conduct. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the registration of such securities.

Forward Purchase Agreement

The Company entered into the Forward Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to offer CIBC National Trust the opportunity to purchase Forward Purchase Units, consisting of one Forward Purchase Share and one-fourth of one Forward Purchase Warrant, where each whole redeemable warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, and, if CIBC National Trust accepts such offer, it commits to purchase at least a minimum aggregate amount equal to either (a) 10% of the gross proceeds from a private placement that may close simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Business Combination or (b) the Minimum Aggregate Amount of 10% of the gross proceeds from the Initial Public Offering, and up to the Maximum Aggregate Amount of $100,000,000 of Forward Purchase Units at a price per unit equal to the public offering price. The Forward Purchase Shares will be identical to the Class A Ordinary Shares included in the TortoiseCorp Units sold in the Initial Public Offering and the Forward Purchase Warrants will have the same terms as the public warrants, except the Forward Purchase Shares and the Forward Purchase Warrants will be subject to transfer restrictions and certain registration rights. The funds from the sale of the Forward Purchase Units may be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the Initial Business Combination, and any excess funds may be used for the working capital needs of the post-transaction company. The Forward Purchase Agreement is subject to conditions, including CIBC National Trust specifying the Specified Amount it wishes to purchase after the Company notifies CIBC National Trust of its intention to offer CIBC National Trust the opportunity to purchase Forward Purchase Units. The Company may specify, in its sole and absolute discretion and at any time prior to or after CIBC National Trust has indicated its Specified Amount, an amount below the Specified Amount that the Company is willing to sell to CIBC National Trust. CIBC National Trust may choose to accept the Company’s offer to purchase the Forward Purchase Units entirely within CIBC National Trust’s sole discretion. Accordingly, if CIBC

294

National Trust does not accept the Company’s offer to purchase the Forward Purchase Units, it will not be obligated to purchase the Forward Purchase Units. On February8, 2021, and in connection with CIBC National Trusts entering into of a subscription agreement to purchase shares of New Volta Class A Common Stock in the Private Placement Financing, we delivered a notice to CIBC National Trust stating that we will not elect to offer CIBC National Trust the opportunity to purchase Forward Purchase Units pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement.

EXPERTS

The audited financial statements of Volta included in this proxy statement/prospectus and elsewhere in this registration statement have been so included in reliance upon the report of Grant Thornton LLP, independent registered public accountants, upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

The financial statements of Tortoise Acquisition Corp. II as of December31, 2020 and for the period from July24, 2020 (inception) through December31, 2020, appearing in this proxy statement/prospectus on Form S-4 have been audited by WithumSmith+Brown, PC, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report thereon and included in this proxy statement/prospectus, in reliance upon such report and upon the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

HOUSEHOLDING INFORMATION

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS AND NOMINATIONS

We anticipate that the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders will be held no later than             , 2022. For any proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement and form of proxy for submission to the stockholders at our 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, it must be submitted in writing and comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act and our Proposed Bylaws. Assuming the meeting is held on or about             , 2022, such proposals must be received by New Volta at its offices at 155 De Haro Street San Francisco, CA 94103, within a reasonable time before New Volta begins to print and send its proxy materials for the meeting.

In addition, the Proposed Bylaws, which will be effective upon consummation of the Domestication, provide notice procedures for stockholders to propose business (other than director nominations) to be considered by stockholders at a meeting. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of New Volta not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the close of business 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that no annual meeting was held during the preceding year or the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than 30 days prior to or delayed by more than 60 days after such anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received no earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and no later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date such meeting is first made. Thus, for our 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, notice of a proposal must be delivered to our Secretary no later than             , 2022 and no earlier than             , 2022. The Chairperson of the New Volta Board may refuse to acknowledge the introduction of any stockholder proposal not made in compliance with the foregoing procedures.

Further, the Proposed Bylaws, which will be effective upon the consummation of the Domestication, provide notice procedures for stockholders to nominate a person as a director to be considered by stockholders at a meeting. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of New Volta in the case of an annual meeting, not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that no annual meeting was held during the preceding year or the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than 30 days prior to or delayed by more than 60 days after the anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received no earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting was first made. Thus, for our 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, notice of a nomination must be delivered to our Secretary no later than             , 2022 and no earlier than             , 2022. The Chairperson of the New Volta Board may refuse to acknowledge the introduction of any stockholder nomination not made in compliance with the foregoing procedures.

SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS

Shareholders and interested parties may communicate with the TortoiseCorp Board, any committee chairperson or the non-management directors as a group by writing to the TortoiseCorp Board or committee chairperson in care of Tortoise Acquisition Corp II, 5100 W. 115th Place, Leawood, Kansas 66211. Following the Business Combination, such communications should be sent in care of Volta Inc., 155 De Haro Street San Francisco, CA 94103. Each communication will be forwarded, depending on the subject matter, to the board of directors, the appropriate committee chairperson or all non-management directors.

301

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITY

TortoiseCorp is a Cayman Islands exempted company. If TortoiseCorp does not change its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware by effecting the Domestication, you may have difficulty serving legal process within the United States upon TortoiseCorp. You may also have difficulty enforcing, both in and outside the United States, judgments you may obtain in U.S. courts against TortoiseCorp in any action, including actions based upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal or state securities laws. Furthermore, there is doubt that the courts of the Cayman Islands would enter judgments in original actions brought in those courts predicated on U.S. federal or state securities laws. However, TortoiseCorp may be served with process in the United States with respect to actions against TortoiseCorp arising out of or in connection with violation of U.S. federal securities laws relating to offers and sales of TortoiseCorp’s securities by serving TortoiseCorp’s U.S. agent irrevocably appointed for that purpose.

TortoiseCorp files reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC as required by the Exchange Act. You can read TortoiseCorp’s SEC filings, including this proxy statement/prospectus, over the Internet at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of
Tortoise Acquisition Corp. II

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Tortoise Acquisition Corp. II (the “Company”), as of December31, 2020, the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from July24, 2020 (inception) through December31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December31, 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from July24, 2020 (inception) through December31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Restatement of Financial Statements

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued a public statement entitled Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”) (the “SEC Staff Statement”) on April12, 2021, which discusses the accounting for certain warrants as liabilities. The Company previously accounted for its warrants as equity instruments. Management evaluated its warrants against the Public Statement, and determined that the warrants should be accounted for as liabilities. Accordingly, the 2020 financial statements have been restated to correct the accounting and related disclosure for the warrants.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ WithumSmith+Brown, PC

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (AS RESTATED)

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization and General

Tortoise Acquisition Corp. II (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on July24, 2020. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities that the Company has not yet identified (the “Initial Business Combination”).

All activity for the period from July24, 2020 (inception) through December31, 2020 relates to the Company’s formation and its preparation for the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and since the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective acquisition target for an Initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenue until after the completion of its Initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of income earned on investments on investments in the Trust Account (as defined below). The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The Company’s sponsor is Tortoise Sponsor II LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Initial Public Offering was declared effective on September10, 2020. On September15, 2020, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 34,500,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units, the “public shares”), including 4,500,000 Units that were issued pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $345.0million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $19.5million, inclusive of approximately $12.1million in deferred underwriting commissions (see Note 6).

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company completed the private sale of 5,933,333 warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant (the “Private Placement Warrants”) in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) to TortoiseEcofin Borrower LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TortoiseEcofin Borrower”) and an affiliate of the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $8.9million (see Note 5).

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $345.0million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement were placed in a trust account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Trust Account”), located in the United States, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and will be invested by the trustee only in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of an Initial Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of its Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating an Initial Business Combination. The Company’s Initial Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount held in trust) at the time the Company signs a definitive agreement in connection with an Initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete an Initial Business Combination if the post-combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

TORTOISE ACQUISITION CORP. II
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (AS RESTATED)

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION(cont.)

The Company will provide the holders of the public shares (the “public shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of an Initial Business Combination either (a) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Initial Business Combination or (b) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of an Initial Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The public shareholders will be entitled to redeem their public shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). The per-share amount to be distributed to public shareholders who redeem their public shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 6). These public shares were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with an Initial Business Combination if the Company would have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of the Initial Business Combination and a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Initial Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association which were adopted by the Company in connection with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering (the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing an Initial Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their public shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with an Initial Business Combination, the holders of the Founder Shares (as defined in Note 8) prior to the Initial Public Offering (the “Initial Shareholders”) have agreed to vote their Founder Shares and any public shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of an Initial Business Combination. In addition, the Initial Shareholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and public shares in connection with the completion of an Initial Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% or more of the public shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Company’s Sponsor, executive officers and directors have agreed not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide for the redemption of its public shares in connection with an Initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its public shares if the Company does not complete an Initial Business Combination, unless the Company provides the public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

If the Company is unable to complete an Initial Business Combination within 24months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or September15, 2022 (or 27months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or December15, 2022, if the Company has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an Initial Business Combination within 24months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering) (the “Combination Period”), the Company will (a) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (b) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION(cont.)

a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (c) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in the case of clauses (b) and (c), to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The Initial Shareholders have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete an Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Initial Shareholders should acquire public shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such public shares if the Company fails to complete an Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete an Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the public shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will only be the $10.00 per share initially held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (a) $10.00 per Public Share and (b) the actual amount per Public Share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have vendors, service providers (except the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Proposed Business Combination

As more fully described in Note10, on February7, 2021, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with SNPR Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“First Merger Sub”), SNPR Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Second Merger Sub”), and Volta Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Volta”), pursuant to which First Merger Sub will merge with and into Volta (the “First Merger”), with Volta surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Surviving Corporation”), and the Surviving Corporation will subsequently merge with and into Second Merger Sub (the “Second Merger”) with Second Merger Sub surviving the Second Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Proposed Business Combination”). The announcement of the Proposed Business Combination and related agreements were filed with the SEC on a Form 8-K on February8, 2021.

F-9

TORTOISE ACQUISITION CORP. II
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (AS RESTATED)

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION(cont.)

Completion of the Proposed Business Combination is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions stated in the Business Combination Agreement.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December31, 2020, the Company had approximately $0.9million in its operating bank account and working capital of approximately $1.2million.

Through December31, 2020, the Company’s liquidity needs have been satisfied through a payment of $25,000 of expenses on behalf of the Company by the Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares, the loan of approximately $181,000 from the Sponsor pursuant to the Note (as defined in Note 5) and the proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. The Company fully repaid the Note on September21, 2020. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an Initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 5). As of December31, 2020, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loan.

Based on the foregoing, the Company’s management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of an Initial Business Combination and one year from the date of this report. Over this time period, the Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Initial Business Combination.

NOTE 2. RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In April 2021, the Audit Committee of the Company, in consultation with management, concluded that, because of a misapplication of the accounting guidance related to its public and private placement warrants to purchase Class A ordinary shares that the Company issued in September 2020 (the “Warrants”), the Company’s previously issued financial statements for the Affected Periods should no longer be relied upon. As such, the Company is restating its financial statements for the Affected Periods included in this Annual Report.

On April12, 2021, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC Staff”) issued a public statement entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC Staff Statement”). In the SEC Staff Statement, the SEC Staff expressed its view that certain terms and conditions common to SPAC warrants may require the warrants to be classified as liabilities on the SPAC’s balance sheet as opposed to equity. Since issuance on September15, 2020, the Company’s warrants were accounted for as equity within the Company’s previously reported balance sheets. After discussion and evaluation, including with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and the Company’s audit committee, management concluded that the warrants should be presented as liabilities with subsequent fair value remeasurement.

Historically, the Warrants were reflected as a component of equity as opposed to liabilities on the balance sheets and the statements of operations did not include the subsequent non-cash changes in estimated fair value of the Warrants, based on our application of FASB ASC Topic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40). The views expressed in the SEC Staff Statement were not consistent with the Company’s historical interpretation of the specific provisions within its warrant agreement and the Company’s application of ASC 815-40 to the warrant agreement. The Company reassessed its accounting for Warrants issued on September15, 2020, in light of the SEC Staff’s published views. Based on this reassessment, management determined that the Warrants should be classified as liabilities measured at fair value upon issuance, with subsequent changes in fair value reported in the Company’s statement of operations each reporting period.

There is no change to total shareholders’ equity at the reported balance sheet date.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

As described in Note 2 — Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements and Note 11 — Quarterly Financial Information (unaudited), the Company’s financial statements for the period from July24, 2020 (inception) through December31, 2020, and for the unaudited interim periods ended September30, 2020 (collectively, the “Affected Periods”), are restated in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1) (this “Annual Report”) to correct the misapplication of accounting guidance related to the Company’s warrants in the Company’s previously issued audited and unaudited condensed financial statements for such periods. The restated financial statements are indicated as “Restated” in the audited and unaudited condensed financial statements and accompanying notes, as applicable. See Note 2 — Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements for further discussion.

Emerging Growth Company

As an emerging growth company, the Company may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth

company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statement with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation coverage limits of $250,000, and any cash held in Trust Account. At December31, 2020, the Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Financial Instruments

As of December31, 2020, the carrying values of cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash Held in Trust Account

As of December31, 2020, the assets held in the Trust Account were held in cash.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December31, 2020.

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with warrant liabilities are expensed as incurred, presented as non-operating expenses in the statement of operations. Offering costs associated with the public shares were charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at December31, 2020, 28,382,615 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

Derivative Warrant Liabilities

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge its exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. Management evaluates all of the Company’s financial instruments, including issued warrants to purchase its Class A ordinary shares, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815-15. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

The Company issued 8,625,000 warrants to purchase Class A ordinary shares to investors in the Company’s Initial Public Offering and simultaneously issued 5,933,333 Private Placement Warrants to TortoiseEcofin Borrower. All of the Company’s outstanding warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40. Accordingly, we recognize the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjust the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statement of operations. The fair value of the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Public Offering and Private Placement Warrants were initially measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model and subsequently, the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants have been estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model each measurement date. The fair value of Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering have subsequently been measured based on the listed market price of such warrants.

Net Loss Per Ordinary Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The Company has not considered the effect of the Public Warrants (as defined below) and the Private Placement Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 14,558,333 Class A ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.

The Company’s statement of operations include a presentation of income per share for ordinary shares subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income per share. Net loss per share, basic and diluted for Class A ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the investment income earned on the Trust Account of $0 for the period from July24, 2020 (inception) through December31, 2020 by the weighted average number of Class A ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Net loss per share, basic and diluted for Class B ordinary shares is calculated by dividing the net loss of approximately $364,000, less income attributable to Class A ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of Class B ordinary shares outstanding for the period.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Income Taxes

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December31, 2020. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

The Company is considered an exempted Cayman Islands company and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the periods presented. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 4. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

On September15, 2020, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 34,500,000 Units, including 4,500,000 Units that were issued pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $345.0million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $19.5million, inclusive of approximately $12.1million in deferred underwriting commissions.

Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-fourth of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7).

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On July29, 2020, the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for certain expenses on behalf of the Company in exchange for issuance of 7,187,500 Founder Shares. In September 2020, the Company effected a share capitalization of 1,437,500 Founder Shares, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 8,625,000 Founder Shares. All shares and associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the share capitalization. The holders of the Founder Shares agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 1,125,000 Founder Shares, on a pro rata basis, to the extent that the option to purchase additional units is not exercised in full by the underwriters, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. The over-allotment option was exercised in full on September11, 2020; thus, these shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

The holders of the Founder Shares have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (a) one year after the completion of the Initial Business Combination and (b) subsequent to the Initial Business Combination, (i) if the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period

commencing at least 150 days after the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, and (ii) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

Private Placement

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company completed the private sale of 5,933,333 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant to TortoiseEcofin Borrower, generating gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $8.9million.

Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete an Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable for cash and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by TortoiseEcofin Borrower or its permitted transferees.

TortoiseEcofin Borrower and the Company’s officers and directors agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination.

Related Party Loans

On July29, 2020, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $600,000 to be used for the payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). The Note was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Company borrowed approximately $181,000 under the Note and repaid the Note in full on September21, 2020.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an Initial Business Combination, the Sponsor, certain of the Company’s officers and directors or any of their respective affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes an Initial Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that an Initial Business Combination is not completed within the Combination Period, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of an Initial Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1.5million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-combination company at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of December31, 2020, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Administrative Services Agreement

Pursuant an Administrative Services Agreement between the Company and Tortoise Capital Advisors, L.L.C. (“Tortoise Capital Advisors”), dated September10, 2020 (the “Administrative Services Agreement”), the Company agreed to pay Tortoise Capital Advisors a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and administrative support. Upon completion of the Initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the agreement will terminate. During the period from July24, 2020 (inception) through December31, 2020, the Company incurred $36,667 in expenses for these services, which is included in administrative expenses – related party on the accompanying statement of operations. No amount was due as of December31, 2020.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (cont.)

In addition, the Sponsor, the Company’s officers and directors or any of their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on the Company’s behalf such as identifying potential partner businesses and performing due diligence on a suitable Initial Business Combination. The Company’s audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by the Company to the Sponsor, the Company’s officers or directors or any affiliates of the Company or the Company’s officers or directors. Any such payments prior to an Initial Business Combination will be made using funds held outside the Trust Account.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Registration and Shareholder Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares), and any Class A ordinary shares held by the Initial Shareholders, the Sponsor and TortoiseEcofin Borrower at the completion of the Initial Public Offering or acquired prior to or in connection with the Initial Business Combination, are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands that the Company offer such securities in an underwritten offering. These holders also have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to certain underwritten offerings the Company may conduct. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the registration of such securities.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 4,500,000 additional Units at the Initial Public Offering price of $10.00 per Unit, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full on September11, 2020.

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $6.9million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, $0.35 per Unit, or approximately $12.1million in the aggregate, will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amount held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes an Initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Deferred Legal Fees Associated with the Initial Public Offering

The Company entered into an engagement letter to obtain legal advisory services, pursuant to which the Company’s legal counsel agreed to defer half of their fees until the closing of the Initial Business Combination. As of December31, 2020, the Company recorded an aggregate of $150,000 in connection with such arrangement as deferred legal fees in the accompanying balance sheet.

Forward Purchase Agreement

The Company entered into a forward purchase agreement (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to offer CIBC National Trust Company (“CIBC National Trust”) the opportunity to purchase forward purchase units, consisting of one Class A ordinary share (the “Forward Purchase Shares”) and one-fourth of one redeemable warrant (the “Forward Purchase Warrants”), where each whole redeemable warrant is exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “Forward Purchase Units”), and, if CIBC National Trust accepts such offer, it commits to purchase at least a minimum aggregate amount equal to either (a) 10% of the gross proceeds from a private placement that may close simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Business Combination or (b) 10% of the gross proceeds from the Initial Public Offering (the “Minimum Aggregate Amount”), and up to a maximum aggregate amount

F-17

TORTOISE ACQUISITION CORP. II
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (AS RESTATED)

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES(cont.)

of $100,000,000 of Forward Purchase Units at a price per unit equal to the public offering price (the “Maximum Aggregate Amount”). The Forward Purchase Shares will be identical to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering and the Forward Purchase Warrants will have the same terms as the Public Warrants, except the Forward Purchase Shares and the Forward Purchase Warrants will be subject to transfer restrictions and certain registration rights. The funds from the sale of the Forward Purchase Units may be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the Initial Business Combination, and any excess funds may be used for the working capital needs of the post-transaction company. The Forward Purchase Agreement is subject to conditions, including CIBC National Trust specifying the amount of Forward Purchase Units between the Minimum Aggregate Amount and Maximum Aggregate Amount (the “Specified Amount”) it wishes to purchase after the Company notifies CIBC National Trust of its intention to offer CIBC National Trust the opportunity to purchase Forward Purchase Units. The Company may specify, in its sole and absolute discretion and at any time prior to or after CIBC National Trust has indicated its Specified Amount, an amount below the Specified Amount that the Company is willing to sell to CIBC National Trust. CIBC National Trust may choose to accept the Company’s offer to purchase the Forward Purchase Units entirely within its sole discretion. Accordingly, if CIBC National Trust does not accept the Company’s offer to purchase the Forward Purchase Units, it will not be obligated to purchase the Forward Purchase Units.

In connection with the Company entering into the Business Combination Agreement, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with CIBC National Trust pursuant to which CIBC National Trust agreed to purchase, subject to the satisfaction of applicable closing conditions, shares of our Class A Common Stock (as defined in Note 10). On February8, 2021 and as a result of CIBC National Trust entering into such subscription agreement to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock, the Company delivered a notice to CIBC National Trust stating that it will not elect to offer CIBC National Trust the opportunity to purchase Forward Purchase Units pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that, while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company and the closing of an Initial Business Combination, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE WARRANT LIABILITIES

As of December31, 2020, the Company had 8,625,000 Public Warrants and 5,933,333 Private Warrants outstanding.

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of an Initial Business Combination and (b) 12months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder (or the Company permits holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under certain circumstances). The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of the Initial Business Combination, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC and have an effective registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective 60 business days after the closing of the Initial Business Combination, warrant holders

F-18

TORTOISE ACQUISITION CORP. II
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (AS RESTATED)

NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE WARRANT LIABILITIES(cont.)

may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

The warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and will expire five years after the completion of an Initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. In addition, if the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the Initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A ordinary shares (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the board and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the Newly Issued Price.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of an Initial Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants for cash (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

•        in whole and not in part;

•        at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

•        upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

•        if, and only if, the last sale price of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

The Company will not redeem the warrants for cash unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares is available throughout the 30-day redemption period, except if the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

Commencing 90 days after the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants for Class A ordinary shares:

•        in whole and not in part;

•        at a price equal to a number of Class A ordinary shares to be determined by reference to an agreed table based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of Class A ordinary shares;

F-19

TORTOISE ACQUISITION CORP. II
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (AS RESTATED)

NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE WARRANT LIABILITIES(cont.)

•        upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

•        if, and only if, the last sale price of Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted per share sub-divisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) on the trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

The “fair market value” of Class A ordinary shares shall mean the average reported last sale price of Class A ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants.

In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. If the Company is unable to complete an Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

NOTE 8. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Class A Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. On December31, 2020, there were 34,500,000 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, including 28,382,615 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption.

Class B Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share (the “Founder Shares”). On July29, 2020, the Company issued 7,187,500 Founder Shares. In September 2020, the Company effected a share capitalization of 1,437,500 Founder Shares, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 8,625,000 Founder Shares. On September10, 2020, the Sponsor transferred 35,000 Founder Shares to each of the Company’s independent directors. All shares and associated amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the share capitalization. Of the 8,625,000 Founder Shares outstanding, up to 1,125,000 were subject to forfeiture by the Initial Shareholders for no consideration to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised in full or in part, so that the Initial Shareholders would collectively own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the Initial Public Offering. The over-allotment option was exercised in full on September11, 2020; thus, the 1,125,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

Ordinary shareholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. Holders of Founder Shares will have the right to elect all of the Company’s directors prior to the Initial Business Combination. On any other matter submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders, holders of the Class A ordinary shares and holders of the Founder Shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders except as required by law or stock exchange rule.

The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of the Initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis (subject to adjustment for share sub-divisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like), and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts sold in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of the Initial Business Combination, the ratio at which Founder Shares shall convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding Founder Shares agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all ordinary shares outstanding upon completion of the Initial Public Offering plus all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the Initial Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the Initial Business Combination).

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following table presents information about the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December31, 2020 by level within the fair value hierarchy:

Description	Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level I)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Other Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Liabilities:
Derivative warrant liabilities	$	24,610,660	$	—	$	20,581,490

Transfers to/from Levels1,2, and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting period. The estimated fair value of the Public Warrants transferred from a Level 3 measurement as of December31, 2020 on account of the separate listing and trading of the Public Warrants as of November2, 2020.

The fair value of the Public Warrants issued in connection with the Public Offering and Private Placement Warrants were initially measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model and subsequently, the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants have been estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model each measurement date. The fair value of Public Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering have been measured based on the listed market price of such warrants, a Level 1 measurement, since December31, 2020. For the period ended December31, 2020, the Company recognized a charge to the statement of operations resulting from an increase in the fair value of liabilities of approximately $27.1million presented as change in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities on the accompanying statement of operations.

The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants, and the Public Warrants prior to being separately listed and traded, is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Monte Carlo simulation are assumptions related to expected stock-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its Class A ordinary shares warrants based on implied volatility from the Company’s traded warrants and from historical volatility of select peer company’s Class A ordinary shares that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero.

The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements inputs at their measurement:

	As of September 15, 2020			As of December 31, 2020
Volatility		22.6	%		47.5	%
Probability of success of a Business Combination		80.0	%		80.0	%
Stock price	$	9.69		$	10.65
Expected life of the options to convert		6			5.5

NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On February7, 2021, the Company, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub entered into a Business Combination Agreement with Volta, pursuant to which First Merger Sub will merge with and into Volta, with Volta surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Surviving Corporation will subsequently merge with and into Second Merger Sub with Second Merger Sub surviving the Second Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The announcement of the Proposed Business Combination and related agreements were filed with the SEC on a Form 8-K on February8, 2021.

Completion of the Proposed Business Combination is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions stated in the Business Combination Agreement. Prior to the effective time of the First Merger (the “Effective Time”), the Company will domesticate (the “Domestication”) as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) and the applicable provisions of the Companies Act (2020 Revision) of the Cayman Islands (the “Companies Act”). The Company expects to complete the Proposed Business Combination late in the third quarter of 2021. The Outside Date under (and as defined in) the Business Combination Agreement has been automatically extended to 240 days from 210 days as a result of Volta’s non-delivery of its PCAOB Financial Statements (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) within the 90-day period following execution of the Business Combination Agreement.

Stockholder Support Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company entered into a Stockholder Support Agreement (the “Stockholder Support Agreement”) with Volta and certain shareholders of Volta pursuant to which such shareholders agreed to vote all of their shares of Volta’s Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Volta Class A Common Stock”) and shares of Volta’s Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Volta Class B Common Stock” and, together with the Volta Class A Common Stock, the “Volta Common Stock”) and shares of Volta’s preferred stock (“Volta Preferred Stock”) in favor of the approval and adoption of the Proposed Business Combination and related transactions (the “Proposed Transactions”), including agreeing to execute a written consent within forty-eight hours of a registration statement on Form S-4 filed by the Company becoming effective. Additionally, such shareholders have agreed, among other things, not to, prior to the Effective Time (a) transfer any of their shares of Volta Common Stock and Volta Preferred Stock (or enter into any arrangement with respect thereto), subject to certain customary exceptions or (b) enter into any voting arrangement that is inconsistent with the Stockholder Support Agreement.

Lock-Up Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the founders of Volta entered into a Lock-Up Agreement with the Company and Volta pursuant to which they have agreed, subject to certain customary exceptions, not to effect any (a) direct or indirect sale, assignment, pledge, hypothecation, disposition, loan or other transfer, or entry into any agreement with respect to any sale, assignment, pledge, hypothecation, disposition, loan or other transfer, with respect to any shares of the Company’s domesticated Class A common stock (the “Class A Common Stock”) or domesticated Class B common stock (the “Class B Common Stock”) held by them immediately after the Effective Time, including any shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock issuable upon

NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS(cont.)

the exercise of options or warrants to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock held by them immediately following the closing of the Proposed Transactions (the “BCA Closing”) or (b) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (a), in each case, until the date that is the earlier of (i) one year after the BCA Closing and (ii) the earlier to occur of, subsequent to the BCA Closing, (x) the first date on which the last reported sale price of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as equitably adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading-day period commencing at least 150 days after the BCA Closing and (y) the date on which there is consummated a subsequent liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A Common Stock for cash, securities or other property.

The Company’s bylaws after the BCA Closing will include transfer restrictions on its securities issued to the investors of Volta in connection with the First Merger for a period of six (6) months after the BCA Closing.

Sponsor Letter

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Volta, the Sponsor and the other holders of the Founder Shares pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor and each other holder agreed to (a) waive the anti-dilution rights set forth in Article 17.3 of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, (b) comply with the non-solicitation provisions in the Business Combination Agreement and (c) vote all of the Company’s ordinary shares held by them in favor of the adoption and approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the Proposed Transactions.

Subscription Agreements

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company entered into separate subscription agreements (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”) with a number of investors (each, a “Subscriber” and collectively, the “Subscribers”), pursuant to which the Subscribers agreed to purchase, and the Company agreed to sell to the Subscribers, an aggregate of 30,000,000shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Private Placement Shares”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $300,000,000, in a private placement.

The closing of the sale of the Private Placement Shares pursuant to the Subscription Agreements will take place on the date of, and at a time immediately prior to or substantially concurrently with, the BCA Closing and is contingent upon, among other customary closing conditions, the consummation of the Proposed Transactions. The purpose of the Private Placement is to raise additional capital for use by the combined company following the BCA Closing.

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Company agreed that, within 30 calendar days after the consummation of the Proposed Transactions, it will file with the SEC (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Private Placement Shares (the “Private Placement Resale Registration Statement”), and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Private Placement Resale Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) 60 calendar days (or 90 calendar days if the SEC notifies the Company that it will review the Private Placement Resale Registration Statement) following the BCA Closing and (ii) the tenth business day after the SEC notifies the Company that the Private Placement Resale Registration Statement will not be reviewed or will not be subject to further review.

Also, in January 2021, in connection with the Proposed Transactions, the Company engaged Barclays Capital Inc. (“Barclays”) and Goldman Sachs & Co LLC (“Goldman” and, together with Barclays, the “Placement Agents”) pursuant to an engagement letter to act as co-placement agents in connection with the potential sale of its equity-linked securities to one or more financial investors. An aggregate fee of 3.0% of the gross proceeds received

by the Company from a sale of the securities in such offering (or $9.0million) will be payable to the Placement Agents, subject to the completion of the offering. The Company also engaged Barclays under such engagement letter to act as the Company’s financial advisor and capital markets advisor in connection with the Proposed Transactions, and the Company agreed to pay a fee of $3.0million to Barclays for such services, subject to the consummation of the Proposed Transactions.

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through May6, 2021, the date the financial statements were issued.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Shareholders

Volta Industries, Inc.

Opinion on the financial statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Volta Industries, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in redeemable convertible preferred stock and shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Adoption of new accounting standard

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed its method of accounting for leases in the year ended December31, 2020 due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases.

Going concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $156,123,000 as of December31, 2020 and incurred a net loss of $73,405,000 during the year ended December31, 2020. These conditions, along with other matters set forth in Note3, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ GRANT THORNTON LLP

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2019.

Volta Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 — Description of business

Volta Industries, Inc. is a holding company for its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Volta Charging, LLC, Volta Charging Services, LLC (inactive), and Volta Media, LLC (inactive) (collectively, “the Company” or “Volta”). The Company was incorporated in Delaware on December15, 2014 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California. The Company operates a network of smart media-enabled charging stations for electric vehicles across the United States (“U.S.”). In addition, the Company utilizes the network to decarbonize the transportation sector and accelerate electric vehicle adoption by providing sponsored or pay-to-use charging to drivers. Revenue is derived primarily by selling paid content on the media-enabled charging station network and selling, installing and maintaining charging stations.

All of the Company’s operations and assets are located in the U.S., and all of its revenues are attributable to customers located in the U.S.

Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation and consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and include the accounts and operations of Volta Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Volta Charging, LLC is the primary operating subsidiary of the Company. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant items subject to management’s estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, assumptions underlying the determination of the stand-alone selling prices for performance obligations within revenue arrangements, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, stock-based compensation, tax valuation allowance, valuation and recognition of warrants, incremental borrowing rate for right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities, lease term, and the valuation and useful lives of property and equipment. The Company believes that the estimates and judgments upon which it relies are reasonable based upon information available to the Company at the time that these estimates and judgments are made. The Company periodically evaluates such estimates and adjusts prospectively based upon such periodic evaluation. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates using different assumptions or under different conditions.

Segment reporting

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company was managed as a single operating segment on a consolidated basis. The Company determined that the President is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) as he is responsible for making decisions regarding the allocation of resources, performance assessment, strategic operations and organization management. Although the Company has different revenue streams, the CODM manages the Company as a whole and makes decisions at the consolidated level. There are no segment managers who are held accountable for operating and financial results or the product and service mix offered by the Company.

Cash

Cash includes on-demand deposits with banks, for which the cost approximates the fair value.

Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and are non-interest bearing. The Company generally grants uncollateralized credit terms to its customers and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reserve for potentially uncollectible receivables. Bad debt expenses are recorded in selling, general and administrative in the

F-32

Volta Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies(cont.)

consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss when the allowance is established. When accounts receivable are deemed uncollectible, the uncollectible amount is written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as credits to bad debt expense and included in selling, general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company determines the level of allowances required based on historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, the credit quality of its customers, current economic conditions and other factors that may affect customers’ ability to pay. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded bad debt expenses of $0.1million. There was no bad debt expense recorded for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Unbilled receivables result from amounts recognized as revenues but not yet invoiced as of the consolidated balance sheet date. There was no balance for unbilled receivables as of December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $0.6million in unbilled receivables related to network development revenue, which are included in the accounts receivable balance.

Concentration of risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash is held on deposit with high-credit quality financial institutions. Such deposits may at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced losses in such amounts or accounts.

As of December 31, 2020, one customer accounted for 59.5% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance. As of December 31, 2019, one customer accounted for 68.2% and another customer accounted for 16.7% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance. For the year ended December 31, 2020, one customer accounted for 63.0% and another customer accounted for 16.1% of the Company’s revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2019, one customer accounted for 65.5% of the Company’s revenue. Revenue generated by these customers arises from a portfolio of contracts with multiple, separate, legal entities. The Company mitigates concentration risk as all contracts are executed with these separate, legal entities.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, one supplier accounted for 21.1% and 76.3% of the Company’s accounts payable balance and orders, respectively. The Company mitigates concentration risk by maintaining contracts and agreements with alternative suppliers and is actively expanding its supplier network.

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company evaluates the fair value measurements of all financial assets and liabilities. Fair value is an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.

A three-tiered hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value. This hierarchy requires that the Company use observable market data, when available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value:

•        Level1, observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

•        Level2, inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly;

•        Level3, unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires that the Company develop its own assumptions.

F-33

Volta Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies(cont.)

Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.

Inventory

Inventory consists of finished goods in the form of assembled charging stations. Inventory is measured using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method and stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. The value of inventories is reduced by estimates for excess and obsolete inventories. The estimate for excess and obsolete inventories is based upon management’s review of utilization of inventories in light of projected sales, current market conditions, and market trends. The Company monitors inventory to identify events that would require impairment due to obsolete inventory and adjusts the value of inventory when required. No inventory valuation losses were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The cost of maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred, and expenditures that extend the useful lives of assets are capitalized. Property and equipment are depreciated and amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Leasehold improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term, ranging from two to five years.

Asset	Useful Lives(In Years)
Charging stations and digital media screens	5–10
Capitalized research and development equipment	5
Computers and equipment	3–5
Furniture	5
Leasehold improvements	2–5
Internal-use software	0.5

Construction in progress includes all costs capitalized related to projects, primarily related to in-process engineering activities and installation of assets that have yet to be placed in service. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the consolidated balance sheets, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the period realized.

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, losses of $1.0million and $4.6million, respectively, related to construction in progress that were damaged or abandoned were recognized in other operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Capitalization of software costs

The Company accounts for the costs of software developed for internal use by capitalizing costs incurred during the application development stage to property and equipment, net on the consolidated balance sheets. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post-implementation activities are expensed as incurred. The Company amortized the capitalized costs of internal-use software on a straight-line basis over six months and recognized the amortization in depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies(cont.)

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of assets to be held and used is assessed by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Although the Company has accumulated losses, the Company believes that the future cash flows will be sufficient to exceed the carrying value of the Company’s long-lived assets. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company determined that no events or changes in circumstances existed that would otherwise indicate any impairment of its long-lived assets.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. The Company recognizes an ROU asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date for operating leases with terms greater than 12months. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The initial measurement of ROU assets is comprised of the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred, less any lease incentives received. ROU assets are subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the carrying amount of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs, plus (less) any prepaid (accrued) lease payments, less the unamortized balance of lease incentives received. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The interest rate used to determine the present value of the future lease payments is the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as the Company generally cannot determine the implicit rate because it does not have access to the lessor’s residual value or the amount of the lessor’s deferred initial costs. The incremental borrowing rate is the interest rate the Company would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms.

Lease terms include the noncancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor.

Variable lease payments associated with the Company’s leases are recognized when the event, activity, or circumstance in the lease agreement on which those payments are assessed occurs. Variable lease payments are recognized in other operating expenses in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Company identifies separate lease and non-lease components within the contract. Non-lease components primarily include payments for electricity reimbursements made to the landlord. The Company has elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease payments and account for them together as a single lease component, which increases the amount of the Company’s ROU assets and lease liabilities.

In April 2020, the FASB provided for an optional practical expedient that simplifies how a lessee accounts for rent concessions that are a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. The practical expedient provides that, for eligible leases, the lessee may choose to forgo the evaluation of the enforceable rights and obligations of the original lease contract. Instead, lessees may account for COVID-19 related rent concessions either (i) as if they were part of the enforceable rights and obligations of the parties under the existing lease contract or (ii) as a lease modification. Eligible leases are those for which the concession is COVID-19 related and the changes to the lease do not result in a substantial increase to the rights of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient for all eligible lease modifications, resulting in the rent concession being recorded as a negative variable lease cost and recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss in that period.

Debt issuance costs

Costs incurred in connection with borrowings under financing facilities are deferred and amortized over the life of the related financing on a straight-line basis which approximates the effective interest method. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company deferred and capitalized costs related to the issuance of the term loans approximating $0.6million and $0.9million, respectively, and amortized $0.3million and $0.1million, respectively, of deferred debt issuance costs as interest expenses, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss (see Note 7 — Debt facilities).

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded debt issuance costs of $0.1million related to the convertible note upon issuance. The amortized debt issuance costs of $39.9 thousand were recognized as interest expenses, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and the remaining unamortized debt issuance cost of $0.1million was reclassified to equity issuance costs and included in Preferred Stock on the consolidated balance sheets upon the conversion of the convertible note into Series D-1 Preferred Stock.

Equity issuance costs

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company raised $99.3million through sales of Series D and D-1 Preferred Stock resulting in $4.5million of equity issuance costs, of which $3.8million was paid in cash and $0.7million was paid as Class B Common Stock warrants (see Note 8 — Warrants). Equity issuance costs are included in Preferred Stock on the consolidated balance sheets.

Stock warrants

The Company classifies Preferred Stock warrants issued in connection with certain historical debt arrangements as long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets at their estimated fair value because the underlying Preferred Stock is contingently redeemable. At initial recognition, the warrants were recorded at their estimated fair value calculated using the Option Pricing Model (“OPM”) Backsolve approach, under the market method.

The Company’s Common Stock warrants are freestanding warrants that were issued in connection with certain debt and equity financing transactions. The warrants are classified as equity instruments at the grant date fair value calculated using the OPM Backsolve approach and are not subject to revaluation at the balance sheet date.

Revenue recognition

ASC 606

Revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services by following a five-step process, (i) identify the contract with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price, and (v) recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company generally considers a sales contract and/or agreement with an approved purchase order as a customer contract provided that collection is considered probable, which is assessed based on the creditworthiness of the customer. The Company combines contracts with a customer if contracts are entered into at or near the same time with the same customer and are negotiated with a single commercial substance or contain price dependencies. As it enters contracts with customers, the Company evaluates distinct goods and services promised in the contract to identify the appropriate performance obligations. The performance obligations include advertising services, charging stations, which include Level 2 (L2) or DCFC charging stations, installation services, operation and maintenance services, installed infrastructure, regulatory credits and Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”). The Company generally contracts with customers at fixed amounts and has not experienced significant returns or price concessions and

F-36

discounts. To the extent, the Company is entitled to variable consideration on the sale of goods or services, it will estimate the amount it expects to collect as part of the transaction price provided it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur when the uncertainty related to variable consideration is resolved.

When a contract contains multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation using the relative standalone selling price (“SSP”) method. The determination of SSP is judgmental and is based on the price the Company would charge for the same good or service if it were sold separately in a standalone sale to similar customers in similar circumstances. As the charging stations, installation and operation and maintenance services are never sold separately, the Company utilizes an expected cost plus a margin approach to determine the SSP of each of the separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for promised goods or services.

Disaggregation of revenue

The Company’s operations represent a single operating segment based on how the Company and its CODM manages its business. The Company disaggregates revenue by major category in the table below based on what it believes are the primary economic factors may impact the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows from these customer contracts.

	Year Ended December 31,
	2020		2019
Revenues
Behavior and Commerce	$	8,013,403	$	8,608,059
Network Development		10,598,303		6,318,772
Charging Network Operations		705,719		338,778
Network Intelligence		133,000		—
Total revenues	$	19,450,425	$	15,265,609

Behavior and Commerce

Behavior and Commerce revenue is generated by displaying paid media content on the Company’s network of media-enabled charging stations. National and regional businesses pay for content either directly or through their relationships with advertising agencies, based on the number of impressions delivered over the contract term, which is typically less than one year. Behavior and Commerce revenue is recognized ratably over time as the impressions are displayed on media-enabled charging stations over the contract term. The Company typically bills customers in advance on a monthly basis, and payments are typically due within one month after content delivery. Behavior and Commerce revenue is recorded in service revenue in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Network Development

Network Development revenue consists of revenue generated through installation services, operation and maintenance services offered over the contract term (generally a 10-year term), installed infrastructure for utility companies and charging station products. Revenue from installation services is recognized on a percentage of completion basis over the installation period. Revenue from operation and maintenance services is recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement as the services are performed. Revenue from the sale of installed infrastructure is recognized at a point in time when control of the installed infrastructure is transferred to the customer. Revenue from charging stations is recognized at the point in time when control of the charging station is transferred to the customer, which is typically when the charging station is delivered at the designated customer site.

F-37

Volta Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies(cont.)

If the arrangement contains a lease it is accounted for in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. In some arrangements, the Company has executed a sale and leaseback of the digital media screens (sale leaseback) and has also acquired the right to control the use of the location to advertise over a set term (location lease) (see Note 7 — Debt facilities). During the construction phase, the Company does not control the underlying asset on the customer’s property. As the leaseback qualifies as a financing arrangement, the Company will not record a sale for accounting purposes of the digital media screen and will depreciate that asset over its useful life. For contractual payments that do not exceed the fair value of the location lease obligation, the Company records a lease liability and an associated right-of-use asset based on the discounted lease payments. In some instances, the Company may receive a lease incentive from the lessor which is recorded as a reduction to the right-of-use asset.

The determination of the transaction price for Network Development revenue may require judgment and can affect the amount and timing of revenue. The transaction price is based on the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to for providing the Network Development products and services on a standalone basis. Almost all of the transaction price is based on fixed cash consideration received from customers. The transaction price is allocated between lease and non-lease components based on a relative-selling price basis. However, in arrangements where the Company pays consideration to a customer for a distinct good or service, the consideration payable to a customer is limited to the fair value of the distinct good or service received by the customer. If the contractual payments for the location lease of this arrangement are in excess of fair value, then the Company will estimate the excess contractual payments over fair value and record that amount as a reduction to the transaction price in the arrangement. The reduction to transaction price for consideration payable to a customer is recognized at the later of when the Company pays or promises to pay the consideration or when the Company recognizes the related revenue for the transferred products and services. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company reduced the transaction price and recognized consideration payable to a customer of $0.4million and $0.2million, respectively.

The Company typically bills the customer upon contract inception for charging stations and installation services and bills the customer on a quarterly basis for operation and maintenance services. Payments are typically due within one month after billing. Revenue generated through installation services, operation and maintenance services and installed infrastructure is recorded in service revenue in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Revenue generated through charging station products is recorded in product revenue in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Charging Network Operations

Charging Network Operations revenue correlates to usage of the stations, and are currently, primarily generated by selling regulatory credits or Low Carbon Fuel Standard credits to other regulated entities. The Company recognizes revenue from regulatory credits at the point in time when the regulatory credits are sold to the customer. Costs associated Charging Network Operations is comprised of a minor amount of personnel-related costs which is presented in selling, general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Charging Network Operations revenue is recorded in other revenue in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Network Intelligence

Network Intelligence revenue is generated through the delivery of SaaS to the customer. The Company recognizes Network Intelligence revenue ratably over the contract term on a time-elapsed basis as the SaaS is performed. Network Intelligence revenue is recorded in other revenue in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. A majority of costs associated with Network Intelligence revenue qualify as internal use software and are capitalized and recorded within property and equipment, net on the consolidated balance sheets.

Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies(cont.)

Practical expedient and policy elected

The Company utilized the practical expedient to not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the Company generally expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers control of the promised good or service and when the Company receives payment from the customer is within one year or less. At contract inception, the Company expects to complete installation and transfer control of media-enabled charging stations to customers and receive payment within one year of contract execution. The Company generally expects to fulfill media campaigns and receive payment for advertising sales within one year.

The Company has elected to present revenue net of sales taxes remitted to government authorities.

Remaining performance obligations

Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligation represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and unbilled amounts that is expected to be recognized as revenue in future periods and excludes the performance obligations that are subject to cancellation terms. The remaining performance obligations related to advertising services, the sale of media-enabled charging stations, installation services and SaaS are expected to be recognized as revenue within the next twelve months and are recorded within deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets. The unbilled amounts were $0.8 million and $0.6 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Remaining performance obligations were $24.2 million as of December 31, 2020. The Company expects to recognize approximately 38.9% of its remaining performance obligations as revenues in the next twelve months and the remainder thereafter.

Deferred revenue

Deferred revenue primarily consists of billings or payments received from customers in advance of revenue recognized for the sale of media-enabled charging stations, installation and operation and maintenance services and is recognized as revenue upon transfer control or as services are performed. The Company generally invoices customers in advance or in milestone-based installments. Revenue recognized during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2019 and 2018, was $8.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively. Deferred revenue is expected to be recognized during the succeeding twelve-month period and is therefore presented as current. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, deferred revenue related to such customer payments amounted to $7.7 million and $13.1 million, respectively.

Costs to obtain a contract with a customer

The Company elected to apply the practical expedient available under ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs — Contracts with Customers, to not capitalize incremental costs of obtaining a contract, such as sales commissions, if the amortization period is less than one year. Commissions paid for certain sales of advertising are expensed as incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less as the majority of media campaigns are scheduled to run less than one year.

Sales commissions are also paid for obtaining a network development contract with a site host that purchases media-enabled charging stations and related services. As the typical contract term for these agreements exceeds one year, the Company does not apply this practical expedient. Sales commissions that are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer are capitalized and included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The deferred costs are then amortized over the period of benefit consistent with the transfer of the goods and services to the customer to which the asset relates and is included in selling, general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies(cont.)

The ending balances of assets recognized from costs of obtaining a contract with a customer were $0.1 million and $0.4 million included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $0.3 million and $0.3 million included in other non-current assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Amortization expense related to assets recognized from costs to obtain a contract with a customer was $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company did not recognize any contract cost impairment losses during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation and amortization)

Costs of services

Costs of services consist of costs attributable to the Network Development revenues and Behavior and Commerce revenue. Costs associated with Network Development consist of costs associated with providing installation, operations and maintenance services, including personnel-related costs associated with delivering services, such as salaries and benefits, and costs to install infrastructure for utility companies. Costs associated with Behavior and Commerce revenue consists of costs associated with providing advertising services, including related rental payments on location leases for the advertising displays, for charging sites, station electricity, and labor costs directly related to service revenue-generating activities.

Cost of products

Cost of products consists of primarily of hardware cost and shipping cost. Hardware cost primarily relate to L2 and DCFC stations which includes the cost of station chassis, the electric vehicle chargers, routers, and computers.

Selling, general and administrative (excluding depreciation and amortization)

Selling, general and administrative consists primarily of employee-related costs, including salaries, employee benefits, and stock-based compensation, repair and maintenance expenses on corporate facilities and equipment, marketing and advertising costs.

Advertising expenses

The Company expenses advertising expenses as they are incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, advertising expenses were $0.3million and $0.4million, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company does not capitalize any advertising expenses.

Other expenses, net

Other expenses, net, consist primarily of the miscellaneous expenses or income that are not related to the core business operation. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, other expenses, net primarily relate to the changes in the fair value measurement of Preferred Stock warrants (see Note 4 — Fair value measurements).

Other income included in other expenses, net are related to rebates and incentives received from utility companies for the installation of electric vehicle charging stations and related infrastructure.

Income taxes

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts more likely than not expected to be realized.

Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies(cont.)

Management regularly assesses the ability to realize deferred tax assets recorded based upon the weight of available evidence, including such factors as recent earnings history and expected future taxable income on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. In the event that the Company changes its determination as to the amount of realizable deferred tax assets, the Company will adjust its valuation allowance with a corresponding impact to the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with accounting standards which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes in an enterprise’s financial statements by defining the criterion that an individual tax position must meet for any part of the benefit of that position to be recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The accounting standard prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return as well as guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has determined there are no uncertain tax positions. The Company’s policy is to include penalties and interest related to income tax matters within the Company’s benefit from (provision for) income taxes.

Stock-based compensation

The Company accounts for all share-based payment awards granted to employees and nonemployees based on the fair value of the awards on the date of the grant. For service-based awards, stock-based compensation is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss over the period during which the employee is required to perform service in exchange for the award (generally the vesting period of the award). The Company estimates the fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The grant-date fair value of option awards is based upon the fair value of the Company’s Common Stock as of the date of grant, as well as estimates of the expected term of the awards, expected Common Stock price volatility over the expected term of the option awards, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yield. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. Compensation cost is recognized over the vesting period of the applicable award using the straight-line method.

Comprehensive loss

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had no items of comprehensive loss.

COVID-19 impact

On January30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”). In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The COVID-19 pandemic will continue to have a negative impact on the operations and customers of the Company. The impact on the business and the results of operations included decreased customer demand for advertising space due to the decrease in foot traffic at the site hosts as consumers were subject to shelter-in-place orders around the United States, as well as the temporary halting of construction activities of the media-enabled charging stations. In addition, the ability of the employees and the suppliers’ and customers’ employees to work may be impacted by individuals contracting or being exposed to COVID-19, which may significantly hamper the operations. Despite the adverse impacts, there are no indications that the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a material decline in the carrying value of any assets, or a material change in the estimate of any contingent amounts recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020. However, there is uncertainty as to the duration and overall impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The consolidated financial statements reflect estimates and assumptions made by management as of December 31, 2020 and management continues to monitor the potential impact. Events and changes in circumstances arising after December 31, 2020, including those resulting from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, will be reflected in management’s estimates for future periods. The Company applied for a loan under the Small Business

Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act of 2020 (“CARES Act”). In April 2020, the Company received loan proceeds of $3.2million under the SBA PPP of the CARES Act (see Note 7 — Debt facilities).

Recent accounting pronouncements

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-07, Compensation — Stock Compensation: Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2018-07 was issued to provide guidance on share-based payments granted to non-employees in exchange for goods or services used or consumed in an entity’s own operations and supersedes the guidance in ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. ASU 2018-07 aligns much of the guidance on measuring and classifying non-employee awards with that of awards to employees. The Company adopted this standard on January1, 2019 using the modified retrospective basis. The adopted standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The ASU eliminates certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements for all entities and modifies some disclosure requirements. This ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard on January1, 2020. Since the standard impacted disclosures only, its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires a lessee to recognize a lease liability and an ROU asset for all leases as of the date on which the lessor makes the underlying asset available to the lessee. For lessors, accounting for leases is substantially the same as in prior periods. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, to clarify how to apply certain aspects of the new leases standard. ASU No. 2020-05, as subsequently amended for various technical issues, and the consideration of COVID-19, is effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates in fiscal years beginning after December15, 2021, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December15, 2022, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02, and all related amendments using a modified retrospective transition method. Under that transition method, the Company initially applied the new leases standard at the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements (which is January1, 2019) for leases existing at, or entered into after January1, 2019. The modified retrospective approach did not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. The standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the transition practical expedients, which permits the Company to carry forward certain conclusions regarding lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs under the new standard. The Company also elected the practical expedient pertaining to land easements and the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases with a term shorter than twelve months. The Company did not elect the practical expedient to use hindsight for leases existing at the adoption date. Upon adoption, the Company recognized net ROU assets and lease liabilities of $13.1million and $14.7million, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets. Further, the sale and leaseback of the digital media screens was recorded as a financing obligation in the amount of $0.3million with a corresponding reduction to retained earnings on January1, 2019. For the year ended December31, 2019, Network Development revenue was reduced by $3.1million upon transition which includes failed sale accounting treatment of the digital media screens and station rent expense, recorded in Cost of Services, decreased by $0.4million. The Company does not anticipate any changes in future cash flows or other significant indirect effects as a result of the change in accounting principle.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet effective     

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The ASU was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-19, ASU No. 2019-05 and ASU No. 2019-10. The guidance amended reporting requirements for credit losses for assets

held at amortized cost basis and available-for-sale debt securities. For available-for-sale debt securities, credit losses will be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down. In addition, the length of time a security has been in an unrealized loss position will no longer impact the determination of whether a credit loss exists. ASU No. 2016-13, as subsequently amended for various technical issues, is effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates for fiscal years beginning after December15, 2022, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. If the Company were to lose EGC status in 2021, the standard would be effective for the fiscal year beginning after December15, 2021. The Company has not yet determined the potential effects of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. This guidance is effective for emerging growth companies following private company adoption dates in fiscal years beginning after December15, 2021, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December15, 2022, with early adoption permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company has not yet determined the potential effects of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies the accounting for certain convertible instruments, amends guidance on derivative scope exceptions for contracts in an entity’s own equity, and modifies the guidance on diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) calculations as a result of these changes. The standard can be applied on either a fully retrospective or modified retrospective basis by an entity. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December15, 2020. The Company does not expect a significant impact of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 — Liquidity

The Company’s financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has financed its operations to date primarily through private placements of its equity securities and loan agreements. Since its inception, the Company has incurred negative cash flows from operations and investing activities as it is expending significant resources in expanding its activities. This has resulted in losses from operations, which are expected to continue for the foreseeable future years, and an accumulated deficit. The Company may require additional financing to fund operations to meet its business plan.

During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred a net loss of $73.4million and $40.7million, respectively, and had negative cash flows from operating activities of $52.6million and $23.7million, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $156.1million and cash of $58.8million.

During the first and second quarter of FY 2020, the Company’s revenues declined due to COVID-19. Customer demand for advertising space declined due to the decrease in foot traffic at our site hosts as consumers were subject to shelter-in-place orders around the United States. Productivity and capital expenditures decreased as construction activities of our media-enabled charging stations was temporarily halted due to the shelter-in-place orders. The financial impacts of COVID-19 on the Company, an emerging business yet to achieve profitability, cast doubt as to whether the Company can continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

In response, management implemented several plans to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s financial performance, including operating cost containment measures, payroll reductions, realignment of our commissions structure, reduced capital expenditures, re-prioritization of high-value and essential sites, and raising capital through debt and equity transactions. Most of our media-enabled charging stations are located in close proximity to essential businesses, positioning us for recovery as shelter-in-place orders lift and consumers gradually

return to in-person shopping. There are inherent uncertainties associated with predicting consumer behavior, particularly after the effects of COVID-19. Trends may or may not improve based on mitigating plans implemented by management.

During April 2020, the Company received loan proceeds of $3.2million under the PPP, under the CARES Act as administered by the U.S. SBA (see Note 7 — Debt facilities).

Until the Company is cash-flow positive, the Company will need to continue to raise funds through the issuance of private equity securities or additional borrowings. The Company raised $128.1million through sales of Series D and D-1 Preferred Stock, where $99.3million was received during the year ended December31, 2020 and $28.7million was received subsequent to December31, 2020. In addition, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement with Tortoise Acquisition Corp. II. on February7, 2021 (see Note 17 — Subsequent events). Management has considered conditions or events in the aggregate, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the closing of the Business Combination Agreement, that provides substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern over the next 12months following the issuance of the consolidated financial statements. No assurances can be provided that additional funding will be available at terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital the Company may significantly curtail its operations, modify existing strategic plans and/or dispose of certain operations or assets.

Note 4 — Fair value measurements

The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in the fair value measurements. All of the Company’s cash is classified within Level 1 as they are valued using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources. The senior secured term loan and the PPP loan are classified within Level 2 as they are valued using market-based risk measurements that are indirectly observable, such as credit risk. Preferred Stock warrant liabilities are classified within Level 3 and measured by the OPM Backsolve approach under the market method.

The Company’s financial instruments for which the Company discloses fair value are as follows:

	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
December 31, 2019
Liabilities
Senior secured term loan	$	23,181,240	$	24,608,068	$	—	$	24,608,068	$	—
Preferred Stock warrant liability		287,505		287,505		—		—		287,505
Total	$	23,468,745	$	24,895,573	$	—	$	24,608,068	$	287,505
December 31, 2020
Liabilities
PPP loan	$	3,193,300	$	3,193,300	$	—	$	3,193,300	$	—
Senior secured term loan		47,826,670		50,960,000		—		50,960,000		—
Preferred Stock warrant liability		698,451		698,451		—		—		698,451
Total	$	51,718,421	$	54,851,751	$	—	$	54,153,300	$	698,451

Level 2 valuation — senior secured term loan and PPP

The Company measures the fair value of the senior secured term loan using discounted cash flows and market-based expectations for credit risk and market risk. The carrying amount of the PPP loan approximates fair value due to the expected short-term nature of the loan.

Note 4 — Fair value measurements(cont.)

Level 3 valuation — Preferred Stock warrants

The Company measures the value of its Preferred Stock warrants on a recurring basis using the OPM Backsolve approach. The OPM Backsolve approach uses a Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the implied equity value of the Company. Once an overall equity value was determined, the aggregate amounts were allocated to the different classes of equity according to their rights and preferences. The inputs to the OPM Backsolve approach include time to liquidation, a risk-free interest rate, an assumption for a discount for lack of marketability and an assumed volatility based on the volatility of similar publicly traded companies. In determining the fair value of the warrants, the methodologies used to estimate the enterprise value of the Company were performed using the approaches, and the assumptions consistent with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Accounting and Valuation Guide, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation (“AICPA Accounting and Valuation Guide”).

Assumptions used in the Backsolve approach for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

	December 31,
	2020		2019
Expected dividend yield	—		—
Risk-free interest rate	0.53	%	1.76	%
Expected volatility	50	%	50	%
Expected term (in years)	4.50		5.50

The Preferred Stock warrants are recorded as a liability due to the Preferred Stock’s redemption provisions. Unrealized losses resulting from changes in the fair value measurement of Preferred Stock warrants each period are recorded to other expenses, net in the Company’s accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The changes in the fair value of the Preferred Stock warrants as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

December 31, 2018	$	126,206
Increase in fair value of warrants		61,299
December 31, 2019		287,505
Increase in fair value of warrants		410,946
December 31, 2020	$	698,451

There were no transfers of financial instruments between levels of the hierarchy during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Note 5 — Property and equipment, net

Property and equipment, net, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, consist of the following:

Term loan

On June19, 2019, the Company entered into a term loan agreement that provides for senior secured term loan facilities of up to $44.0million, of which $20.0million was available and was drawn upon at the close of the agreement and the Company drew down an additional $4.0million on the loan facility during September 2019, which resulted in $24.0million of the principal amount outstanding as of December 31, 2019. On November25, 2020, the maximum borrowings were increased to $49.0million. The Company drew on the remaining amount of the commitment of $25.0million during the year ended December 31, 2020. The term loan bears interest on the total outstanding balance at 12% per annum and is secured by certain qualifying assets of the Company. Principal payments are due in equal monthly installments beginning on July1, 2021, and the term loan matures on June19, 2024. These provisions expire on the earlier of loan termination, when the facility is fully drawn on, or two years after the closing date. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, principal amounts of $49.0 million and $24.0million were outstanding, and there was a debt discount of $1.2million and $0.8million related to debt issuance costs, respectively. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, accrued interest was $1.4million and $0.7million, respectively.

The term loan agreement contains certain covenants pertaining to reporting and financial requirements, as well as negative and affirmative covenants. If the Company does not meet its reporting requirements, the lenders have the right to request remedies, including an increase in the interest rate by 3.0% per annum, and an option to call the loan in the event of default. The Company was in compliance with all covenant requirements as of December 31, 2019. Subsequent to 2019, the Company was not in compliance with certain financial and reporting requirements for the month of June 2020. In August 2020 and November 2020, the lenders agreed to waive their right to call the debt as a result of those violations. In December 2020, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

PPP loan

During April 2020 the Company applied for and received a small business loan of $3.2million through the PPP. The loan principal and accrued interest are forgivable so long as the borrower maintains its payroll levels and uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes during the covered period following disbursement, such as payroll, benefits, rent and utilities. Subject to certain qualifications and exclusions, the amount of loan forgiveness is reduced if the borrower terminates employees or reduces salaries during the covered period. Any portion of the loan that is not forgiven will carry interest at the stated rate of 1% per annum, and equal installment payments would be due monthly. Commencing November 2020, the Company is required to repay the loan in equal monthly payments with the final payment due upon maturity of the loan in April 2022. Although the Company expects to receive full forgiveness for the loan as the entire amount was used for eligible expenses under the program, the Company plans to repay the PPP loan.

Term loan and PPP loan payments by period as of December 31, 2020 are as follows:

Year Ending December 31,
2021	$	10,323,138
2022		18,731,273

Convertible notes

During the periods of March 2020 through October 2020, the Company issued convertible notes with a total original principal amount of $30.2million to investors. The convertible notes accrued interest at a rate of 8% per annum and had an original maturity date of September 2021.

As of December 31, 2020, all outstanding principal amounts and accrued but unpaid interest were automatically converted into shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock upon the closing of the Company’s sale of the Series D Preferred Stock. The Company issued to the holders of the convertible notes a number of shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock calculated by dividing the outstanding principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest by the conversion price of $3.77 per share, calculated at a 26% discount to the fair value of the Series D Preferred Stock (see Note 9 – Redeemable convertible preferred stock for the amount and description of Series D-1 Preferred Stock issued upon conversion of the convertible notes).

Financing obligations

For one customer, the Company has entered into multiple contracts to sell media-enabled charging stations and also lease back the digital media screens for a period of up to 10 years. The lease back of the digital media screen is in excess of its useful life of 5 years. Therefore, the consideration received equal to relative standalone selling price for the digital media screens has been recorded as a financing transaction. This financing arrangement has been amortized over its 5-year term at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at the time of the transaction. As of December31, 2020 and 2019, the current portions of the financing obligation were $0.7million and $0.3million which were included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities. Non-current portions were $3.8million and $4.1million which were included within other non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, respectively. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate for each of these transaction has ranged between 10.32%-16.68%.

Note 8 — Warrants

Preferred Stock warrants

In connection with the Company’s prior debt financing arrangements, the Company issued Preferred Stock warrants to purchase shares of Series B Preferred Stock. During December 2019, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 209,029 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $1.05 per warrant, expiring in July 2025 and all remain outstanding as of December 31, 2020.

The fair value of the outstanding Preferred Stock warrants was initially $0.1million, determined by estimating an aggregate equity value of the Company using a Backsolve method (see Note 4 — Fair value measurements).

Common Stock warrants

In connection with a prior debt facility which was partially used in 2018, then unused and terminated in 2019, the Company issued Common Stock warrants to purchase 1,951,969shares of Class B Common Stock, which are classified in equity; in connection with the lender’s commitment until the termination of the senior secured note facility, the Company issued additional warrants to purchase 5,555,606shares of Class B Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.19 per share, which are also classified in equity. The Company valued the warrants at $0.60 per share upon issuance for a total amount of $3.4million. As the warrants were issued in connection with a debt facility, the debt had an equal and offsetting original issuance discount of $3.4million which was amortized into interest expenses, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2019.

In connection with Series D issuance, the Company issued warrants to purchase 381,679 and 150,000shares of Class B Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.31 and $0.01 in March 2020 and December 2020, respectively, to the existing investors, which are classified in equity. The Company valued the warrants at $0.76 and $3.05 respectively per share upon issuance for a total amount of $0.7million. As the warrants were issued in connection with the issuance of Preferred Stock, the Preferred Stock had equal and offsetting equity issuance costs of $0.7million recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, all Preferred Stock and Common Stock warrants remain outstanding.

The Preferred Stock is presented outside of permanent equity in the consolidated financial statements due to the redemption provisions outside of the Company’s control in the event of a deemed liquidation, including a merger or consolidation in which the holders of Common Stock and Preferred Stock hold less than 50% of the post-merger entity. The redemption amount is not adjusted as a deemed liquidation is not probable, therefore the Preferred Stock is not probable of becoming redeemable.

Conversion

Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into fully paid and non-assessable Class A Common Stock, at the option of the holder, at any time. The conversion rate is determined by dividing the original issue price by the conversion price. Both the original issuance price and conversion price per share are $1.20, $1.40, $1.68, $1.51, $2.61, $7.38 and $3.77 for Series A, Series B, Series C, Series C-1, Series C-2, Series D and Series D-1, respectively. All 8,283,574shares of Series D-1 were issued upon conversion of convertible notes at a 26% discount to the issuance price, resulting in an increase in carrying value of $11.1million. The conversion ratio for all series of Preferred Stock is 1:1. The conversion price would be adjusted upon issuance of additional shares of Common Stock (including Common Stock deemed issued by the issuance of options or convertible securities) for consideration less than the applicable conversion price for each series of Preferred Stock, stock splits and combinations, distributions payable on the Common Stock in additional shares of Common Stock, other securities of the Company or other property, merger or reorganization in which the Common Stock is exchanged for securities, cash or other property.

The Company has the right to redeem up to a third of the originally issued shares of Series A Preferred Stock (including Common Stock resulting from the conversion thereof), at a redemption price equal to the Series A original issue price plus a premium of 75%, 150% or 225% thereon if the redemption occurs in the first year, two years or three years respectively of the issuance date. The redemption right terminates after the third anniversary of the issuance date. In the event of redemption of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the conversion rights of the shares designated for redemption will terminate on the last full day preceding the date fixed for redemption if the redemption price is fully paid on the redemption date.

Note 9 — Redeemable convertible preferred stock(cont.)

Upon any conversion, no adjustment to the conversion price will be made for any declared but unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion or on the Class A Common Stock delivered upon conversion.

All outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be mandatorily converted to shares of Class A Common Stock upon the following: (i) a closing of the sale of Common Stock to the public in a firm-commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, resulting in at least $275.0million of proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions), or (ii) at the date and time, or occurrence of an event, specified by vote or written consent of a majority of the then-outstanding Preferred Stock voting together.

Dividend rights

The Company shall not declare, pay or set aside any dividends on shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Company (other than dividends on shares of Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock) unless (in addition to the obtaining of any consents required elsewhere in the Certificate of Incorporation) the holders of the Preferred Stock then outstanding shall, on a pari passu basis, first receive, or simultaneously receive, a dividend on each outstanding share of Preferred Stock in an amount at least equal to that dividend per share of Preferred Stock as would equal the product of (i) the dividend payable on each share of such class or series determined, if applicable, as if all shares of such class or series had been converted into Common Stock and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a share of the applicable series of Preferred Stock, in each case calculated on the record date for determination of holders entitled to receive such dividend; provided that, if the Company declares, pays or sets aside, on the same date, a dividend on shares of more than one class or series of capital stock of the Company, the dividend payable to the holders of Preferred Stock shall be calculated based upon the dividend on the class or series of capital stock that would result in the highest dividend.

Voting rights

On any matter presented to the stockholders of the Company at any meeting of the stockholders, the holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Preferred Stock held. Holders of Preferred Stock vote together as a single class with the holders of the Company’s Common Stock.

The holders of Series D and Series D-1 Preferred Stock voting as a separate class shall be entitled to elect one member of the Volta Board. The holders of Series C, Series C-1 and Series C-2 Preferred Stock voting as a separate class shall be entitled to elect one member of the Volta Board. The holders of Series B Preferred Stock voting as a separate class shall be entitled to elect one member of the Volta Board. The holders of Common Stock voting as a separate class shall be entitled to elect two members of the Volta Board.

Liquidation preference

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, or a deemed liquidation event (a merger or consolidation in which the holders of Common Stock and Preferred Stock hold less than 50% of the post-merger entity or a sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets), the holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to receive assets of the Company in preference to any distribution to holders of Common Stock. Assets available for distribution to holders of Preferred Stock are made on a pari passu basis to all series of Preferred Stock. Payment to Preferred Stock holders shall be made according to this order of preference for an amount (liquidation amount) equal to the greater of (i) original issue price per share, plus any dividends declared but unpaid or (ii) an amount per share that would have been payable had all shares of each Preferred Stock series been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to any such event of liquidation. If upon any such event of liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the assets of the Company available for distribution are insufficient, the holders of Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the number of shares held.

Note 9 — Redeemable convertible preferred stock(cont.)

Redemption

The holders of Preferred Stock have no voluntary rights to redeem shares. If a deemed liquidation event occurs and the Company does not effect a dissolution of the Company, the holders of the Preferred Stock have the right to require the Company to redeem the Preferred Stock at the same amount as the liquidation amount. Although the Preferred Stock is not mandatorily or currently redeemable, a deemed liquidation would constitute an event outside the Company’s control in which the Company would be obligated to redeem the Preferred Stock.

2014 Stock Plan

Under the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (“Volta Option Plan”), employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company are able to participate in the Company’s future performance through awards of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock awards and stock appreciation rights at the discretion of management and the Volta Board.

Incentive and non-statutory stock options may be granted with exercise prices not less than 100% of the estimated fair value of the Common Stock on the date of grant, as determined by the Volta Board. Options granted to individuals owning over 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock are exercisable up to five years from the date of grant.

The exercise price of any option granted to a 10% stockholder may not be less than 110% of the estimated fair value of the Common Stock on the date of grant, as determined by the Volta Board. Options granted under the Volta Option Plan expire no later than ten years from the date of grant. Options granted under the Volta Option Plan vest over periods determined by the Volta Board, generally over periods of four years. The Volta Option Plan terminates automatically ten years after the earlier of its adoption by the Volta Board or the approval of the Volta Option Plan by the stockholders.

Subject to Volta Board approval at the grant date, if an option includes an “early exercise” feature, then such option shall be exercisable at any time, but any unvested option shares shall be subject to the Company’s right to repurchase them at the original exercise price in the event that the optionee’s service terminates for any reason. If an option does not permit early exercise, then such an option shall not be exercisable with respect to unvested shares.

As of December 31, 2020, there were options and RSAs outstanding to purchase a total of 112,009 Class A shares of Common Stock and 4,910,607 of Class B shares of Common Stock under the Volta Option Plan. As of December 31, 2020, zero options for both Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock were available for issuance under the Volta Option Plan. Option award activity for employees and non-employees as of December 31, 2020, is as follows:

	Number of options outstanding		Weighted-average exercise price per share		Weighted- average remaining contractual life (years)	Aggregate intrinsic value

Note 10 — Stockholders’ equity and stock-based compensation(cont.)

The aggregate intrinsic value of employee options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $0.5million and $0.1million, respectively. The intrinsic value is the difference between the estimated fair value of the Company’s Common Stock at the date of exercise and the exercise price for in-the-money options.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of employee options granted during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $0.45 and $0.37 per share, respectively. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of employee options forfeited during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $0.38 and $0.24 per share, respectively. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options that vested during the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $0.30 and $0.17 per share, respectively. The total fair value of options vested during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $0.9 million and $0.2million, respectively.

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of grant. The fair value of all options is amortized on a ratable basis over the required service periods of the awards, which are generally the vesting periods.

The weighted-average assumptions that were used in calculating such values during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, were as follows:

	December 31,
	2020		2019
Expected dividend yield	—		—
Risk-free interest rate	0.80	%	2.07	%
Expected volatility	48.14	%	34.39	%
Expected term (in years)	6.0		6.0

The Company has limited historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior for its stock option grants. Therefore, the expected term of options granted is based on the “simplified method” of expected life, described in U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 107, whose acceptance was extended in Staff Accounting Bulletin 110.

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a term consistent with the expected life of the awards in effect at the time of grant.

As the Company does not have a trading history for its Common Stock prior to the Business Combination (see Note 17 — Subsequent events), the expected stock price volatility for the Company’s Common Stock was estimated by taking the historic stock price volatility for industry peers based on their price observations over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. The Company has no history or expectation of paying cash dividends on its Common Stock. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company has employee stock-based compensation expense of $3.1million and $1.7million related to unvested stock awards not yet recognized, which is expected to be recognized over an estimated weighted-average period of approximately 2.8 years.

Compensation expense

Compensation expense related to stock-based awards was recorded in selling, general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for $5.3million and $1.0million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Partial recourse promissory notes

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had $10.4million and $1.2million of promissory notes outstanding from employees, issued for 1,036,124 restricted stock purchases of Class A Common Stock, for both years, and the exercise of 11,147,195 and 2,165,605shares of stock options exercisable for Class B Common Stock,

F-53

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 10 — Stockholders’ equity and stock-based compensation(cont.)

respectively. The Company recognized $0.7million tax paid on employees’ behalf for the awards subject to 83(b) elections which were paid through payroll by the Company in note receivable — employee on the consolidated balance sheets. The promissory notes for the exercise of stock options represent the aggregate exercise price of the options and carry interest rates of 3.25% and 2.26%, respectively, and the principal and interest are due upon the earlier of: (i) the tenth anniversary of the note’s issuance, or (ii) the date of a change of control. The promissory notes for the restricted stock awards represent the aggregate purchase price of the awards and carry interest rates of 2.30% with interest due and payable annually and the principal due upon the earlier of: (i) the tenth anniversary of the note’s issuance, or (ii) the date of a change of control. All promissory notes issued are collateralized by the shares issued in exchange for the note and were considered to be partial recourse as they may be surrendered at the then fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by the Volta Board. The remainder up to 50% of the value of the original principal of the notes is collateralized by the assets of the borrowers. The amount payable is not limited to the fair value of the shares at the time of default or maturity. As such, the shares are not considered exercised for accounting purposes and the shares issued are not reflected as outstanding in the consolidated financial statements until the notes are repaid and the underlying stock options have vested.

Note 11 — Net loss per share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. For stock options that were exercised by employees issuing promissory notes to the Company, the shares of Common Stock issued under such exercises are not included in the calculation of basic net loss per share until the underlying promissory notes are fully paid or forgiven.

Diluted net loss per share is computed in a similar manner, but it also includes the effect of potential common shares outstanding during the period, when dilutive. Potential common shares include outstanding stock options, convertible Preferred Stock, warrants for Common Stock and warrants for Preferred Stock. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive common shares is reflected in diluted net loss per share by application of the treasury stock method for stock options and warrants, and by application of the if-converted method for the Preferred Stock. Deposits received for the repayment of the promissory notes for the exercise of stock options are considered in the calculation of diluted net loss per share, in the event the effect is dilutive. To the extent these potential common shares are antidilutive, they are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share.

The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the periods presented:

Note 11 — Net loss per share(cont.)

The following weighted average shares of the potentially dilutive outstanding securities for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive given the net loss attributable to common shares. Therefore, the diluted net loss per share are the same as the basic net loss per share for the periods presented.

Note 12 — Leases

The Company is a lessee in several noncancellable operating leases, primarily for office space and the use of spaces for the installation of its electric vehicle charging stations (“site leases”). These leases generally have an initial term ranging from five to ten years, with the option to extend the lease for one to five years. In connection with the leases, the Company recorded asset retirement obligations for the restoration of lease sites of $0.8million and $0.6million as of December31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, in other non-current liabilities within the consolidated balance sheets.

Contingencies

From time to time, the Company may become involved in claims and other legal matters, either asserted or unasserted, arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these other claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the outcome of any of these ongoing legal matters, individually and in aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized $0.6million in other operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, and $0.6million in accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of December 31, 2020 on the consolidated balance sheet for invoices totaling $1.4million. In good faith, the Company disputed invoices for work performed in 2019. There are various disagreements between the Company and the vendor regarding these invoices. The Company disputes the underlying basis for these amounts and notified the vendor during the year ended December 31, 2019 of the Company’s intent not to pay.

Note 14 — Income taxes(cont.)

Management regularly assesses the ability to realize deferred tax assets recorded based upon the weight of available evidence, including such factors as recent earnings history and expected future taxable income on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis. In the event that the Company changes its determination as to the amount of realizable deferred tax assets, the Company will adjust its valuation allowance with a corresponding impact to the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the valuation allowance increased by $19.2million and $12.6million, respectively.

Utilization of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the “ownership change” limitations provided by Section 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and other similar state provisions. Any annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards before utilization.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had federal and state NOL carryforwards of approximately $62.3million and $54.4million (post apportionment), respectively, as reported on its tax returns available to reduce future taxable income, if any. If not utilized, these federal and state NOL carryforwards will begin to expire in the year ending December31, 2035. As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, $36.8million in federal NOL carryforwards do not have an expiration date. As of December 31, 2020, the Company also has Alternative Fuel Vehicle Credit carryforwards of $8.8million that will begin to expire in the year ending December31, 2035 if not utilized.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with accounting standards which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes in an enterprise’s financial statements by defining the criterion that an individual tax position must meet for any part of the benefit of that position to be recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The accounting standard prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return as well as guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has determined there are no uncertain tax positions.

The Company’s policy is to include penalties and interest related to income tax matters within the Company’s benefit from (provision for) income taxes. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had no material accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

The 2017 through 2020 tax years generally remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities.

Note 15 — Employee benefit plan

The Company has a 401(k) defined contribution savings plan that covers substantially all employees of the Company on a tax-advantaged basis. The 401(k) plan provides for voluntary salary reduction contributions of eligible participants’ annual compensation, not to exceed the Internal Revenue Service annual allowable contribution. The Company is obligated to contribute a matching contribution of up to 4% of the employee’s contribution under applicable safe harbor rules. Matching contributions are invested proportionately to each participant’s voluntary contributions in the investment options provided under the 401(k) plan. As a tax-qualified retirement plan, contributions to the 401(k) plan and earnings on those contributions are not taxable to the employees until distributed from the 401(k) plan. The Company has recognized expenses related to matching contributions made of $0.5million and $0.4million in selling, general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Article III
CONVERSION OF SECURITIES; EXCHANGE

Section 3.01 Conversion of Securities.

(a) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cause each share of Company Preferred Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time to be automatically converted into a number of shares of Company Class B Common Stock at the then-effective conversion rate as calculated pursuant to Section 4.1.1 of the Company Certificate of Incorporation. All of the shares of Company Preferred Stock converted into shares of Company Class B Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall cease to exist, and each holder of Company Preferred Stock shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Preferred Stock.

(b) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Mergers and without any action on the part of Acquiror, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities:

(i) each share of Company Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including shares of Company Class B Common Stock resulting from the conversion of Company Preferred Stock described in Section 3.01(a), but excluding shares of Company Restricted Stock) shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive the number of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (the “Per Share Class A Merger Consideration”);

(ii) each share of Company Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding shares of Company Restricted Stock) shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive the number of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class B Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (the “Per Share Class B Merger Consideration” and together with the Per Share Class A Merger Consideration, the “Per Share Merger Consideration”);

(iii) all shares of Company Stock held in the treasury of the Company shall be canceled without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto; and

(iv) each share of First Merger Sub Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(c) Effective as of the Effective Time, each Company Warrant, to the extent then outstanding and unexercised, shall automatically, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into a warrant to acquire a number of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock at an adjusted exercise price per share, in each case, as determined under this Section 3.01(c) (each such resulting warrant, an “Assumed Warrant”). Each Assumed Warrant shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, except to the extent such terms or conditions are rendered inoperative by the Transactions. Accordingly, effective as of the Effective Time: (a) each Assumed Warrant shall be exercisable solely for shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock; (b) the number of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock subject to each Assumed Warrant shall be equal to (1) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the applicable Company Warrant multiplied by (2) the Exchange Ratio, rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock; and (c) the per share exercise price for the Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Warrant shall be equal to (x) the per share exercise price for the shares of Company Common Stock subject to the applicable Company Warrant, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounding the

Annex A-16

resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent. Acquiror shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for future issuance, and shall maintain such reservation for so long as any of the Assumed Warrants remain outstanding, a sufficient number of shares Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock for delivery upon the exercise of such Assumed Warrants.

(d) Each share of Company Common Stock that is Company Restricted Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be handled in accordance with the terms of Sections 3.01(b)(i) and (ii), as applicable, in the same manner as any other share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (such restricted shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock and Domesticated Acquiror Class B Common Stock issued pursuant to this Section 3.01(d), “Exchanged Restricted Stock”). Except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each award of Exchanged Restricted Stock shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting) as were applicable to the corresponding former Company Restricted Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, except to the extent such terms or conditions are rendered inoperative by Transactions, and except that any per share repurchase price applicable to such Exchanged Restricted Stock shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the per share repurchase price applicable to the Company Restricted Stock by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest cent. The parties intend that shares of Exchanged Restricted Stock issued in exchange for Company Restricted Stock in accordance with Sections 3.01(b)(i) and (ii), as applicable, and this Section 3.01(d) will be treated as received in exchange for the applicable holder’s Company Restricted Stock and, provided that a timely and valid election has been made in respect of such Company Restricted Stock under Section 83(b) of the Code, agree to treat and report the receipt of the Exchanged Restricted Stock for income Tax purposes as consideration for such holder’s Company Restricted Stock and not as compensation for services, except as otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Tax law).

(e) Effective as of the Effective Time, each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall automatically, without any action on the part of the holder thereof or the Company, be assumed and converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock or Domesticated Acquiror Class B Common Stock, as applicable, as determined under this Section 3.01(e) (such option, an “Assumed Option”). Each Assumed Option shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, except to the extent such terms or conditions are rendered inoperative by the Transactions. Accordingly, effective as of the Effective Time: (a) each Assumed Option shall be exercisable solely for shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock or Domesticated Acquiror Class B Common Stock, as applicable; (b) each Assumed Option shall be assumed and converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock or Domesticated Acquiror Class B Common Stock, as applicable, equal to (1) the number of shares of Company Class A Common Stock or Company Class B Common Stock, as applicable, subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (2) the Exchange Ratio, rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock or Domesticated Acquiror Class B Common Stock, as applicable; and (c) the per share exercise price of each Assumed Option shall be equal to (x) the per share exercise price for the shares of Company Common Stock subject to the applicable Company Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent; provided, however, that the exercise price and the number of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock or Domesticated Acquiror Class B Common Stock, as applicable, purchasable pursuant to the Assumed Options shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code; provided, further, that in the case of any Assumed Option to which Section 422 of the Code applies, the exercise price and the number of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock or Domesticated Acquiror Class B Common Stock, as applicable, purchasable pursuant to such option shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing, subject to such adjustments as are necessary in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code. Acquiror shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for future issuance pursuant to the Omnibus Incentive Plan, and shall maintain such reservation for so long as any of the Assumed Options remain outstanding, a sufficient number of shares Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock or Domesticated Acquiror Class B Common Stock, as applicable, for delivery upon the exercise of such Exchange Options. At or prior to the Effective Time, the parties and their boards, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions that are necessary to effectuate the treatment of the Company Options pursuant to this subsection, or to cause any disposition or acquisition of equity securities of Acquiror pursuant to this Section 3.01(e) by each individual who is subject to the

Annex A-17

reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), with respect to Acquiror or who will (or is reasonably expected to) become subject to such reporting requirements with respect to Acquiror to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. Effective as of the Effective Time or as soon thereafter as permitted under applicable Law, Acquiror shall file an appropriate registration statement or registration statements with respect to the shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock or Domesticated Acquiror Class B Common Stock, as applicable, subject to such Assumed Options and shall maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such awards remain outstanding.

(f) Each Company Non-Plan Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, in the Company’s sole discretion, either (i) be automatically cancelled for no consideration as of the Effective Time, or (ii) automatically, without any action on the part of the holder thereof or the Company and effective as of the Effective Time, be assumed and converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock as determined under this Section 3.01(f) (such option, an “Assumed Non-Plan Option”). To the extent applicable, each Assumed Non-Plan Option shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Company Non-Plan Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, except to the extent such terms or conditions are rendered inoperative by the Transactions. Accordingly, effective as of the Effective Time: (a) each Assumed Non-Plan Option shall be exercisable solely for shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock; (b) each Assumed Non-Plan Option shall be assumed and converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock equal to (1) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Non-Plan Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (2) the Exchange Ratio, rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock; and (c) the per share exercise price of each Assumed Non-Plan Option shall be equal to (x) the per share exercise price for the shares of Company Common Stock subject to the applicable Company Non-Plan Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent; provided, however, that the exercise price and the number of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock, purchasable pursuant to the Assumed Non-Plan Options shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Acquiror shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for future issuance, and shall maintain such reservation for so long as any of the Assumed Non-Plan Options remain outstanding, a sufficient number of shares Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock for delivery upon the exercise of such Assumed Non-Plan Options.

Section 3.02 Exchange.

(a) Exchange Agent. On the Closing Date, Acquiror shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company that shall be designated by Acquiror and is reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of the Company Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Article III, the number of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock and Domesticated Acquiror Class B Common Stock sufficient to deliver the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement (such shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock and Domesticated Acquiror Class B Common Stock, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto pursuant to Section 3.02(c), being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). Acquiror shall cause the Exchange Agent, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, to pay the Per Share Merger Consideration out of the Exchange Fund in accordance with this Agreement. Except as contemplated by Section 3.02(c) hereof, the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(b) Exchange Procedures. As promptly as practicable after the date hereof, Acquiror shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Agent to mail (or send by electronic mail) to each holder of Company Stock (including shares of Company Class B Common Stock resulting from the conversion of Company Preferred Stock described in Section 3.01(a)) entitled to receive the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.01 a letter of transmittal, which shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to Acquiror and the Company (the “Letter of Transmittal”) and shall specify instructions for delivering the Letter of Transmittal. Within two (2) Business Days (but in no event prior to the Effective Time) after submitting to the Exchange Agent such Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, such holder of shares of Company Stock shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefore, and Acquiror shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver, the applicable

Annex A-18

Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01, and such shares of Company Stock shall forthwith be cancelled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the Effective Time Acquiror may in its sole discretion cause the Exchange Agent to deliver the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration to any holder of shares of Company Stock notwithstanding the fact that such holder has not submitted a Letter of Transmittal to the Exchange Agent, after which the shares of Company Stock held by such holder shall forthwith be cancelled.

(c) Distributions with Respect to Uncancelled Shares. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to the Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock or Domesticated Acquiror Class B Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to any holder of shares of Company Stock with respect to the shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock or Domesticated Acquiror Class B Common Stock represented thereby until the Company Stock held by such holder is cancelled in accordance with Section 3.02(b). Subject to the effect of escheat, Tax or other applicable Laws, following such cancellation, Acquiror shall pay or cause to be paid to the holder of the shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock or Domesticated Acquiror Class B Common Stock issued to such holder, without interest, (i) promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days of such cancellation, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and theretofore paid with respect to such shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock or Domesticated Acquiror Class B Common Stock, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions, with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such cancellation and a payment date occurring after surrender, payable with respect to such shares of Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock or Domesticated Acquiror Class B Common Stock.

(d) No Further Rights in Company Common Stock. The Per Share Merger Consideration payable upon conversion of the Company Stock (including shares of Company Class B Common Stock resulting from the conversion of Company Preferred Stock described in Section 3.01(a)) in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid and issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Stock.

(e) Adjustments to Per Share Consideration. The Per Share Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Acquiror Class A Common Stock, Acquiror Class B Common Stock, Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock or Domesticated Acquiror Class B Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

(f) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Company Stock for one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Acquiror, upon demand, and any holders of Company Stock who have not theretofore complied with this Section 3.02 shall thereafter look only to Acquiror for the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of Company Stock as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any government entity shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of Acquiror free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(g) No Liability. None of the Exchange Agent, Acquiror, the Surviving Entity or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of Company Stock (including shares of Company Class B Common Stock resulting from the conversion of Company Preferred Stock described in Section 3.01(a)) for any Domesticated Acquiror Class A Common Stock or Domesticated Acquiror Class B Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law in accordance with this Section 3.02.

(h) Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, Acquiror, and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts (including shares, warrants, options or other property) otherwise payable, issuable or transferable pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment, issuance or transfer under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) or any provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld and timely paid to the applicable Governmental Authority, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid, issued or transferred to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Annex A-19

Annex A-41

Section 5.11 No Prior Operations of First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub. First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub were formed solely for the purpose of engaging in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and has not engaged in any business activities or conducted any operations or incurred any obligation or liability, other than as contemplated by this Agreement. The Second Merger Sub has at all times during its existence been treated as a disregarded entity for federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes and its assets are thereby treated for applicable income Tax purposes as owned by Acquiror, and no election has been made or will be made, nor has any action been taken or will be taken, to treat the Second Merger Sub as a corporation or a partnership for income Tax purposes.

Section 5.12 Brokers. Except for Barclays Capital Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, no broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission in connection with the Transactions based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Acquiror, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub. Acquiror has provided the Company with a true and complete copy of all contracts, agreements and arrangements including its engagement letters, with Barclays Capital Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, other than those that have expired or terminated and as to which no further services are contemplated thereunder to be provided in the future.

Section 5.13 Acquiror Trust Fund. As of the date of this Agreement, Acquiror has no less than $345,000,000 in the trust fund established by Acquiror for the benefit of its public shareholders (the “Trust Fund”) (including an aggregate of approximately $12,075,000 of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions being held in the Trust Fund) maintained in a trust account at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Trust Account”). The monies of such Trust Account are invested in United States Government securities or money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and held in trust by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”) pursuant to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of September10, 2020, between Acquiror and the Trustee (the “Trust Agreement”). The Trust Agreement has not been amended or modified and is valid and in full force and effect and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the Remedies Exceptions. Acquiror has complied in all material respects with the terms of the Trust Agreement and is not in breach thereof or default thereunder and there does not exist any event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, would constitute such a breach or default by Acquiror or the Trustee. There are no separate contracts, agreements, side letters or other agreements or understandings (whether written or unwritten, express or implied): (i) between Acquiror and the Trustee that would cause the description of the Trust Agreement in the Acquiror SEC Reports to be inaccurate in any material respect; or (ii) that would entitle any person (other than shareholders of Acquiror who shall have elected to redeem their shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Acquiror Organizational Documents) to any portion of the proceeds in the Trust Account. Prior to the Closing, none of the funds held in the Trust Account may be released except: (A) to pay income and Taxes from any interest income earned in the Trust Account; and (B) upon the exercise of Redemption Rights in accordance with the provisions of the Acquiror Organizational Documents. To Acquiror’s knowledge, as of the date of this Agreement, following the Effective Time, no stockholder of Acquiror shall be entitled to receive any amount from the Trust Account except to the extent such stockholder is exercising its Redemption Rights. There are no Actions pending or, to the knowledge of Acquiror, threatened in writing with respect to the Trust Account. Upon consummation of the First Merger and notice thereof to the Trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement, Acquiror shall cause the Trustee to, and the Trustee shall thereupon be obligated to, release to Acquiror as promptly as practicable, the Trust Funds in accordance with the Trust Agreement at which point the Trust Account shall terminate; provided, however that the liabilities and obligations of Acquiror due and owing or incurred at or prior to the Effective Time shall be paid as and when due, including all amounts payable (a) to shareholders of Acquiror who shall have exercised their Redemption Rights, (b) with respect to filings, applications and/or other actions taken pursuant to this Agreement required under Law, (c) to the Trustee for fees and costs incurred in accordance with the Trust Agreement, and (d) to third parties (e.g., professionals, printers, etc.) who have rendered services to Acquiror in connection with its efforts to effect the Mergers. Acquiror has no reason to believe that any of the conditions to the use of funds in the Trust Account will not be satisfied or funds available in the Trust Account will not be available to Acquiror at the Effective Time.

Section 5.14 Employees. None of Acquiror, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub has, or has had, any employees. Other than any officers as described in the Acquiror SEC Reports, Acquiror, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub have no employees on their payroll, and have not retained any contractors, other than consultants and advisors in the ordinary course of business.

Acquiror, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub have never and do not currently maintain, sponsor, or contribute to any Employee Benefit Plan. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the Transactions contemplated hereunder (either alone or upon the occurrence of any additional or subsequent events or the passage of time) will (i) cause any compensatory payment or benefit, including any retention, bonus, fee, distribution, remuneration, or other compensation payable to any Person who is or has been an employee of or independent contractor to Acquiror (other than fees paid to consultants, advisors, placement agents or underwriters engaged by Acquiror in connection with its initial public offering or this Agreement and the Transactions) to increase or become due to any such Person or (ii) result in forgiveness of indebtedness with respect to any employee of Acquiror.

Following the Closing, Surviving Entity will honor all accrued but unused vacation and other paid time off of the Continuing Employees that existed immediately prior to the Closing with respect to the calendar year in which the Closing occurs.

Prior to the Effective Time, the Company may purchase a prepaid “tail” policy with respect to the D&O Insurance from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance carrier. If the Company elects to purchase such a “tail” policy prior to the Effective Time, Acquiror will maintain such “tail” policy in full force and effect for a period of no less than six years after the Effective Time and continue to honor its obligations thereunder.

Rul. 2001-46, 2001-2 C.B. 321, or otherwise) and, taken to together, to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and (iii) not (and not permit or cause any of their affiliates, subsidiaries or Representatives to) take any action which to its knowledge could reasonably be expected to materially prevent or impede the Domestication or the Mergers from qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and (b) report each of the Domestication and the integrated Mergers as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (unless (i) otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or (ii) solely with respect to the reporting of the integrated Mergers as a reorganization, the Second Merger is not effected pursuant to Section 7.14(b) below), including attaching the statement described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-3(a) on or with its Tax Return for the taxable year of the Domestication and the Mergers.

The parties hereto shall reasonably cooperate with each other and their respective counsel to provide reasonable factual support letters of the sort customarily provided as the basis for a legal opinion that the Mergers qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, the inability of the Company to provide certification, or the inability of any party to provide a factual support letter or any representation requested pursuant thereto, in each case, pursuant to this Section 7.14(b) shall not be a condition to, or have other any effect on, the Transactions (other than the Second Merger) or any other obligations or rights under this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the obligation of each party to cause the Closing or First Merger to occur).

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, except as otherwise required pursuant to this Agreement, no party (or its respective affiliates and owners) shall be required to satisfy its obligations pursuant to this Section 7.14 by foregoing, reducing, or adversely modifying the amount, rights or nature of any shares, options or other property such party (or its respective affiliates or owners) is entitled to retain or receive pursuant to this Agreement (including indirectly by agreeing to grant, increase, or modify the amount, rights or nature of any shares, options or other property to which another party (or its respective affiliates or owners) is entitled to retain or receive pursuant to this agreement) without reasonable compensation therefor. To the extent the parties reasonably determine the

Annex A-62

Transactions qualify as a tax-free incorporation pursuant to Section 351 of the Code, either in addition to or in lieu of the “reorganization” treatment discussed above, the parties agree to undertake similar obligations as set forth in this Section 7.14 in respect of such tax-free incorporation treatment.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision

Annex A-68

is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 10.04 Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede, except as set forth in Section 7.05(b), all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof, except for the Confidentiality Agreement.

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State. All legal actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any Delaware Chancery Court; provided, that if jurisdiction is not then available in the Delaware Chancery Court, then any such legal Action may be brought in any federal court located in the State of Delaware or any other Delaware state court. The parties hereto hereby (a) irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for themselves and with respect to their respective properties for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto, and (b) agree not to commence any Action relating thereto except in the courts described above in Delaware, other than Actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree or award rendered by any such court in Delaware as described herein.

Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in Delaware as described herein for any reason, (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) that (i) the Action in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such Action is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

Section 10.09 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or portable document format (pdf) transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 10.10 Specific Performance.

(a) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof, and, accordingly, that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and

Annex A-69

provisions hereof (including the parties’ obligation to consummate the Mergers) in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, County of Newcastle, or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, any court of the United States located in the State of Delaware without proof of actual damages or otherwise, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity as expressly permitted in this Agreement. Each of the parties hereby further waives (i) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at Law would be adequate and (ii) any requirement under any Law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if prior to the Outside Date any party initiates an Action to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, then the Outside Date will be automatically extended by: (A) the amount of time during which such Action is pending plus 20 Business Days; or (B) such other time period established by the court presiding over such Action.

All claims, obligations, liabilities, or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in Law or in equity or otherwise, or granted by statute or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company veil or any other theory or doctrine, including alter ego or otherwise) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, or the negotiation, execution, or performance or non-performance of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents), may be made only against (and such representations and warranties are those solely of) the persons that are expressly identified as parties to this Agreement or the applicable Transaction Document (the “Contracting Parties”) except as set forth in this Section 10.11.

The parties acknowledge and agree that the Nonparty Affiliates are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 10.11. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, none of the Contracting Parties or any Nonparty Affiliate shall be responsible or liable for any multiple, consequential, indirect, special, statutory, exemplary or punitive damages which may be alleged as a result of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any other agreement referenced herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder, or the termination or abandonment of any of the foregoing.

1.2 The number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of capital stock representing a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law, and no vote of the holders of the Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock voting separately as a class shall be required therefor.

Section 2. Preferred Stock

2.1 The Corporation’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by the law of the State of Delaware, by resolution or resolutions adopted from time to time, to provide for the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock in one (1) or more series, and, by filing a certificate of designation pursuant to the applicable law of the State of Delaware (the “Certificate of Designation”), to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, to fix the designation, vesting, powers (including voting powers), preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights (and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof) of the shares of each such series and to increase (but not above the total number of authorized shares of the class) or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any such series. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may also be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, without a separate vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock or any series thereof, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to the terms of any Certificate of Designation designating a series of Preferred Stock.

2.2 Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Certificate of Designation designating any series of Preferred Stock pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article IV, (i) any new series of Preferred Stock may be designated, fixed and determined as provided herein by the Board without approval of the holders of Common Stock or the holders of Preferred Stock, or any series thereof, and (ii) any such new series may have powers, preferences

Annex B-1

and rights, including, without limitation, voting rights, dividend rights, liquidation rights, redemption rights and conversion rights, senior to, junior to or pari passu with the rights of the Common Stock, the Preferred Stock or any future class or series of Preferred Stock or Common Stock.

Section 3. Rights of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock

3.1 Except as otherwise provided in this Certificate of Incorporation or required by applicable law, shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall have the same rights and powers, rank equally (including as to dividends and distributions, and upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation), share ratably and be identical in all respects and as to all matters.

3.2 Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Certificate of Incorporation or as provided by law, the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall (a) at all times vote together as a single class on all matters (including the election of directors) submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation, (b) be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation (the “Bylaws”) and (c) be entitled to vote upon such matters and in such manner as may be provided by applicable law; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one (1) or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together as a class with the holders of one (1) or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock). Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or required by applicable law, each holder of Class A Common Stock shall have the right to one (1) vote per share of Class A Common Stock held of record by such holder and each holder of Class B Common Stock shall have the right to ten (10) votes per share of Class B Common Stock held of record by such holder.

3.3 Shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall be treated equally, identically and ratably, on a per share basis, with respect to any dividends or distributions as may be declared and paid from time to time by the Board out of any assets of the Corporation legally available therefor; provided, however, that in the event a dividend is paid in the form of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (or rights to acquire such shares), then holders of Class A Common Stock shall receive shares of Class A Common Stock (or rights to acquire such shares, as the case may be) and holders of Class B Common Stock shall receive shares of Class B Common Stock (or rights to acquire such shares, as the case may be), with holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock receiving, on a per share basis, an identical number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may pay or make a disparate dividend or distribution per share of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (whether in the amount of such dividend or distribution payable per share, the form in which such dividend or distribution is payable, the timing of the payment, or otherwise) if such disparate dividend or distribution is approved in advance by both (a) the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and (b) the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

3.4 Shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock may not be subdivided, combined or reclassified unless the shares of the other class are concurrently therewith proportionately subdivided, combined or reclassified in a manner that maintains the same proportionate equity ownership between the holders of the outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock on the record date for such subdivision, combination or reclassification; provided, however, that shares of one (1) such class may be subdivided, combined or reclassified in a different or disproportionate manner if such subdivision, combination or reclassification is approved in advance by both (a) the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and (b) the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

3.5 Subject to any preferential or other rights of any holders of Preferred Stock then outstanding, upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will be entitled to receive ratably all assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders unless disparate or different treatment of the shares of each such

Annex B-2

class with respect to distributions upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up is approved in advance by both (a) the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and (b) the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

3.6 In the case of any distribution or payment in respect of the shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock upon the merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other entity, or in the case of any other transaction having an effect on stockholders substantially similar to that resulting from a merger or consolidation, such distribution or payment shall be made ratably on a per share basis among the holders of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock as a single class; provided, however, that shares of one (1) such class may receive different or disproportionate distributions or payments in connection with such merger, consolidation or other transaction if (i) the only difference in the per share distribution to the holders of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock is that any securities distributed to the holder of a share Class B Common Stock have ten (10) times the voting power of any securities distributed to the holder of a share of Class A Common Stock, or (ii) such merger, consolidation or other transaction is approved by both (a) the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and (b) the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

Article V

Section 1. Each share of Class B Common Stock shall be convertible into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock at the option of the holder thereof at any time upon written notice to the Corporation. Before any holder of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to convert any of such holder’s shares of such Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock, such holder shall deliver an instruction, duly signed and authenticated in accordance with any procedures set forth in the Bylaws or any policies of the Corporation then in effect, at the principal corporate office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Class B Common Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at its principal corporate office of such holder’s election to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable on conversion thereof are to be registered on the books of the Corporation. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, register on the Corporation’s books ownership of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to which such record holder of Class B Common Stock, or to which the nominee or nominees of such record holder, shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have occurred immediately prior to the close of business on the date such notice of the election to convert is received by the Corporation, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Class A Common Stock as of such date.

Section 2. Each share of Class B Common Stock shall automatically, without further action by the Corporation or the holder thereof, be converted into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the close of business on the earliest of (i) ten (10) years from the Effectiveness Date (as defined below); (ii) the date that is twelve (12) months after the death or Permanent Disability (as defined below) of the last to die or become Disabled (as defined below) of the Founders; and (iii) the date specified by the affirmative vote of the holders of Class B Common Stock representing not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, voting separately as a single class (each of the events referred to in (i), (ii) and (iii) are referred to herein as an “Automatic Conversion”). The Corporation shall provide notice of the Automatic Conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2 of Article V to record holders of such shares of Class B Common Stock as soon as practicable following the Automatic Conversion. Such notice shall be provided by any means then permitted by the General Corporation Law; provided, however, that no failure to give such notice nor any defect therein shall affect the validity of the Automatic Conversion. Upon and after the Automatic Conversion, the person registered on the Corporation’s books as the record holder of the shares of Class B Common Stock so converted immediately prior to the Automatic Conversion shall be registered on the Corporation’s books as the record holder of the shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon Automatic Conversion of such shares of Class B Common Stock, without further action on the part of the record holder thereof. Immediately upon the effectiveness of the Automatic Conversion, the rights of the holders of shares of Class B Common Stock as such shall cease, and the holders shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder or holders of such shares of Class A Common Stock into which such shares of Class B Common Stock were converted.

Annex B-3

Section 3. Each share of Class B Common Stock shall automatically, without further action by the Corporation or the holder thereof, be converted into one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock, upon the occurrence of a Transfer (as defined below), other than a Permitted Transfer (as defined below), of such share of Class B Common Stock.

Section 4. The Corporation may, from time to time, establish such policies and procedures, not in violation of applicable law or this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, relating to the administration of the conversion of shares of the Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock as it may deem necessary or advisable. If the Corporation has reason to believe that a Transfer that is not a Permitted Transfer has occurred, the Corporation may request that the purported transferor furnish affidavits or other evidence to the Corporation as it reasonably deems necessary to determine whether a Transfer that is not a Permitted Transfer has occurred, and if such transferor does not within ninety (90) days after the date of such request furnish sufficient (as determined in good faith by the Board) evidence to the Corporation (in the manner provided in the request) to enable the Corporation to determine that no such Transfer has occurred, any such shares of Class B Common Stock, to the extent not previously converted, shall be automatically converted into shares of Class A Common Stock and such conversion shall thereupon be registered on the books and records of the Corporation; provided that the Board may delay such automatic conversion if the applicable Founder is continuing to make good faith efforts to provide affidavits or other evidence reasonably requested by the Corporation as of the ninetieth (90th) day following such request. In connection with any action of stockholders taken at a meeting, the stock ledger of the Corporation shall be presumptive evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders and the classes of shares held by each such stockholder and the number of shares of each class held by such stockholder.

Annex B-6

Section 6. In the event any shares of Class B Common Stock are converted into shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to this Article V, the shares of Class B Common Stock so converted shall be retired and shall not be reissued by the Corporation.

Section 7. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 1, 2 or 3 of this Article V, if the date on which any share of Class B Common Stock is converted into Class A Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of Sections 1, 2 or 3 of this Article V occurs after the record date for the determination of the holders of Class B Common Stock entitled to receive any dividend or distribution to be paid on the shares of Class B Common Stock, the holder of such shares of Class B Common Stock as of such record date will be entitled to receive such dividend or distribution on such payment date; provided, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, to the extent that any such dividend or distribution is payable in shares of Class B Common Stock, such dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been declared, and shall be payable in, shares of Class A Common Stock and no shares of Class B Common Stock shall be issued in payment thereof.

Section 8. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized and unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting conversions of shares of Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock, such number of duly authorized shares of Class A Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then-outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock. If at any time the number of authorized and unissued shares of Class A Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then-outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, the Corporation shall promptly take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation, obtaining the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation. All shares of Class A Common Stock which are so issuable shall, when issued, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares. The Corporation shall take all such action as may be necessary to ensure that all such shares of Class A Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or regulation.

Article VI

Section 1. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board, except as otherwise provided by law. In addition to the powers and authority expressly conferred upon them by statute or by this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation.

Section 2. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the total number of directors constituting the Whole Board (as defined below) shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board. For purposes of this Certificate of Incorporation, the term “Whole Board” shall mean the total number of authorized directors whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships.

Section 3. Subject to the special rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, the directors shall be divided, with respect to the time for which they severally hold office, into three (3) classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, respectively (the “Classified Board”). The Board is authorized to assign members of the Board already in office to such classes of the Classified Board, which assignments shall become effective at the same time the Classified Board becomes effective. Directors shall be assigned to each class in accordance with a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board, with the number of directors in each class to be divided as nearly equal as reasonably possible. The initial term of office of the Class I directors shall expire at the Corporation’s first annual meeting of stockholders following the Effectiveness Date, the initial term of office of the Class II directors shall expire at the Corporation’s second annual meeting of stockholders following the Effectiveness Date and the initial term of office of the Class III directors shall expire at the Corporation’s third annual meeting of stockholders following the Effectiveness Date. At each annual meeting of stockholders following the Effectiveness Date, directors elected to succeed those directors of the class whose terms then expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election. In the event of any increase or decrease in the authorized number of directors (a) each director then serving as such shall nevertheless continue as a director of the class of which the director is a member and (b) the newly created or eliminated directorships resulting from such increase or decrease shall be apportioned by the Board among the three (3) classes of directors so as to ensure that no one class has more than one (1) director more than any other class.

Annex B-7

Section 4. Each director shall hold office until the annual meeting at which such director’s term expires and until such director’s successor is elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. Any director may resign at any time upon notice to the Corporation given in writing or by any electronic transmission permitted by the Bylaws. Subject to the special rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, no director may be removed from the Board except for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors voting together as a single class. In the event of any increase or decrease in the authorized number of directors, (a) each director then serving as such shall nevertheless continue as a director of the class of which the director is a member and (b) the newly created or eliminated directorships resulting from such increase or decrease shall be apportioned by the Board among the classes of directors so as to ensure that no one class has more than one (1) director more than any other class. To the extent possible, consistent with the foregoing rule, any newly created directorships shall be added to those classes whose terms of office are to expire at the latest dates following such allocation, and any newly eliminated directorships shall be subtracted from those classes whose terms of office are to expire at the earliest dates following such allocation, unless otherwise provided from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board. No decrease in the authorized number of directors constituting the Board shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

Section 5. Subject to the special rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, any vacancy occurring in the Board for any cause, and any newly created directorship resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors, shall, unless (a) the Board determines by resolution that any such vacancies or newly created directorships shall be filled by the stockholders or (b) as otherwise provided by law, be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and not by the stockholders. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders at which the term of office of the class to which the director has been assigned expires or until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal.

Article VII

Section 1. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, if the General Corporation Law is hereafter amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of a director, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law, as so amended.

Section 2. Neither any amendment nor repeal of this Article VII, nor the adoption of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article VII, shall eliminate, reduce or otherwise adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or adoption of such an inconsistent provision.

Article VIII

The Board shall have the power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws. Any adoption, amendment or repeal of the Bylaws by the Board shall require the approval of a majority of the Whole Board. The stockholders shall also have power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation) or any provision of law that might otherwise permit a lesser or no vote, but in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation required by applicable law or by this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock issued pursuant to any Certificate of Designation), the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to adopt, amend or repeal any provision of the Bylaws; provided, further, that if two-thirds (2/3) of the Whole Board has approved such adoption, amendment or repeal of any provisions of the Bylaws, then only the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to adopt, amend or repeal any provision of the Bylaws.

Annex B-8

Article IX

Section 1. Subject to the rights of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders.

Section 2. Special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by the Chairperson of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the Lead Independent Director (as defined in the Bylaws) or the Board acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board, and may not be called by any other person or persons. Only such business shall be considered at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been stated in the notice for such meeting.

Section 3. Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors and of business to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be given in the manner and to the extent provided in the Bylaws.

Article X

Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if and only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks subject matter jurisdiction, any state court located within the State of Delaware or, if and only if all such state courts lack subject matter jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the following types of actions or proceedings under Delaware statutory or common law: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation; (ii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Corporation or any stockholder to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders; (iii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim against the Corporation or any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Corporation or any stockholder in such stockholder’s capacity as such arising out of or pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law, this Certificate or the Bylaws of the Corporation (as each may be amended from time to time); (iv) any action or proceeding to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of this Certificate or the Bylaws of the Corporation (including any right, obligation or remedy thereunder); (v) any action or proceeding as to which the General Corporation Law confers jurisdiction to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; and (vi) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any director, officer or other employee of the Corporation or any stockholder, governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in all cases to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. This Article X shall not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Any person or entity holding, owning or otherwise acquiring any interest in any security of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of this Article X.

Article XI

If any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then such provision shall nonetheless be enforced to the maximum extent possible consistent with such holding and the remaining provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation (including without limitation, all portions of any section of this Certificate of Incorporation containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall remain in full force and effect.

Annex B-9

Article XII

Section 1. The Corporation reserves the right to amend or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation in the manner prescribed by the laws of the State of Delaware and all rights conferred upon stockholders are granted subject to this reservation; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation) or any provision of law that might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, but in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of the stock of the Corporation required by law or by this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation), and subject to Sections 1 and 2.1 of Article IV, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend or repeal or adopt any provision inconsistent with Sections 1.2 and 2 of Article IV, or Article V, Article VI, Article VI, Article VIII, Article IX, Article X, Article XI, or this Section 1 of this Article XII (the “Specified Provisions”); provided, further, that if two-thirds (2/3) of the Whole Board has approved such amendment or repeal of, or any provision inconsistent with, the Specified Provisions, then only the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend or repeal, or adopt any provision inconsistent with, the Specified Provisions.

Section 2. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation) or any provision of law that might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, but in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of the stock of the Corporation required by law or by this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation), both (i) the affirmative vote of the holders of Class A Common Stock representing at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, voting separately as a single class, and (ii) the affirmative vote of the holders of Class B Common Stock representing at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, voting separately as single class, shall be required to amend or repeal, or to adopt any provision inconsistent with, Sections 1.2, 2.2, 3 of Article IV, Article V or this Section 2 of Article XII.

Article I

STOCKHOLDERS

1.1 Annual Meetings.

An annual meeting of stockholders shall be held for the election of directors at such date and time as the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Volta Inc. (the “Corporation”) shall each year fix. The meeting may be held either at a place, within or without the State of Delaware as permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), or by means of remote communication as the Board in its sole discretion may determine. Any proper business may be transacted at the annual meeting.

1.2 Special Meetings.

Special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes shall be called in the manner set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Certificate of Incorporation”). The special meeting may be held either at a place, within or without the State of Delaware, or by means of remote communication as the Board in its sole discretion may determine. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to matters relating to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of the meeting.

1.3 Notice of Meetings.

Notice of all meetings of stockholders shall be given in writing or by electronic transmission in the manner provided by applicable law (including, without limitation, as set forth in Section 7.1.1 of these Bylaws) stating the date, time and place, if any, of the meeting, the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting. In the case of a special meeting, such notice shall also set forth the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise required by applicable law or the Certificate of Incorporation, notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be given not less than ten (10), nor more than sixty (60), days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting.

1.4 Adjournments.

The chairperson of the meeting shall have the power to adjourn the meeting to another time, date and place (if any). Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time, date and place (if any) thereof and the means of remote communication (if any) by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided, however, that if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Board may postpone, reschedule or cancel any previously scheduled special or annual meeting of stockholders before it is to be held, regardless of whether any notice or public disclosure with respect to any such meeting has been sent or made pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof or otherwise, in which case notice shall be provided to the stockholders of the new date, time and place, if any, of the meeting as provided in Section 1.3 above.

Annex C-1

1.5 Quorum.

Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, at each meeting of stockholders the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business; provided, however, that where a separate vote by a class or classes or series of stock is required by applicable law or the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of such class or classes or series of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on such matter, present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to the vote on such matter. If a quorum shall fail to attend any meeting, the chairperson of the meeting or, if directed to be voted on by the chairperson of the meeting, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote who are present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting may adjourn the meeting. Shares of the Corporation’s stock belonging to the Corporation (or to another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation are held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation), shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Corporation or any other corporation to vote any shares of the Corporation’s stock held by it in a fiduciary capacity and to count such shares for purposes of determining a quorum. A quorum, once established at a meeting, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum.

1.6 Organization.

Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by (a) such person as the Board may designate, or (b) in such person’s absence, the Chairperson of the Board, or (c) in such person’s absence, the Lead Independent Director, or, (d) in such person’s absence, the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, or (e) in such person’s absence, the President of the Corporation, or (f) in the absence of such person, by a Vice President. Such person shall be the chairperson of the meeting and, subject to Section 1.10 of these Bylaws, shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as seems to such person to be in order. The Secretary of the Corporation shall act as the secretary of the meeting, but in such person’s absence the chairperson of the meeting may appoint any person to act as the secretary of the meeting.

1.7 Voting; Proxies.

Each stockholder of record entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy. Such a proxy may be prepared, transmitted and delivered in any manner permitted by applicable law. Except as may be required in the Certificate of Incorporation, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Unless otherwise provided by applicable law, rule or regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, every matter other than the election of directors shall be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of stock entitled to vote on such matter that are present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and are voted for or against the matter (or if there are two (2) or more classes or series of stock entitled to vote as separate classes, then in the case of each class or series, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of stock of that class or series present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting voting for or against such matter).

1.8 Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Record.

In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at the adjourned meeting.

Annex C-2

In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board and which shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no such record date is fixed by the Board, then the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

1.9 List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote.

The Secretary shall prepare, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten (10) days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth (10th) day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network as permitted by applicable law (provided that the information required to gain access to the list is provided with the notice of the meeting), or (b) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. If the meeting is held at a location where stockholders may attend in person, the list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present at the meeting. If the meeting is held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access the list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Except as otherwise provided by law, the list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them.

1.10 Inspectors of Elections.

1.10.1 Applicability. Unless otherwise required by the Certificate of Incorporation or by the DGCL, the following provisions of this Section 1.10 shall apply only if and when the Corporation has a class of voting stock that is: (a) listed on a national securities exchange; (b) authorized for quotation on an interdealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; or (c) held of record by more than two thousand (2,000) stockholders. In all other cases, observance of the provisions of this Section 1.10 shall be optional, and at the discretion of the Board.

1.10.2 Appointment. The Corporation shall, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one (1) or more inspectors of election to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. The Corporation may designate one (1) or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the person presiding at the meeting shall appoint one (1) or more inspectors to act at the meeting.

1.10.3 Inspector’s Oath. Each inspector of election, before entering upon the discharge of such inspector’s duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspector’s ability.

1.10.4 Duties of Inspectors. At a meeting of stockholders, the inspectors of election shall (a) ascertain the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each share, (b) determine the shares represented at a meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, (c) count all votes and ballots, (d) determine and retain for a reasonable period of time a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, and (e) certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting, and their count of all votes and ballots. The inspectors may appoint or retain other persons or entities to assist the inspectors in the performance of the duties of the inspectors.

1.10.5 Opening and Closing of Polls. The date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced by the chairperson of the meeting at the meeting. No ballot, proxies or votes, nor any revocations thereof or changes thereto, shall be accepted by the inspectors after the closing of the polls unless the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, upon application by a stockholder, shall determine otherwise.

Annex C-3

1.10.6 Determinations. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots, the inspectors shall be limited to an examination of the proxies, any envelopes submitted with those proxies, any information provided in connection with proxies pursuant to Section 211(a)(2)b.(i) of the DGCL, or in accordance with Sections 211(e) or 212(c)(2) of the DGCL, ballots and the regular books and records of the Corporation, except that the inspectors may consider other reliable information for the limited purpose of reconciling proxies and ballots submitted by or on behalf of banks, brokers, their nominees or similar persons which represent more votes than the holder of a proxy is authorized by the record owner to cast or more votes than the stockholder holds of record. If the inspectors consider other reliable information for the limited purpose permitted herein, the inspectors at the time they make their certification of their determinations pursuant to this Section 1.10 shall specify the precise information considered by them, including the person or persons from whom they obtained the information, when the information was obtained, the means by which the information was obtained and the basis for the inspectors’ belief that such information is accurate and reliable.

1.11 Notice of Stockholder Business; Nominations.

1.11.1 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

(a) Nominations of persons for election to the Board and the proposal of other business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders only: (i) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of such meeting (or any supplement thereto), (ii) by or at the direction of the Board or any committee thereof or (iii) by any stockholder of the Corporation who was a stockholder of record at the time of giving of the notice provided for in this Section 1.11 (the “Record Stockholder”), who is entitled to vote at such meeting and who complies with the notice and other procedures set forth in this Section 1.11 in all applicable respects.

Article VI

INDEMNIFICATION

6.1 Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

Each person who was or is made a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, legislative or any other type whatsoever (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that such person (or a person of whom such person is the legal representative), is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee of another corporation, or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans (for purposes of this Article VI, an “Indemnitee”), shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expenses, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee in connection therewith, provided such Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner that the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or Proceeding,

Annex C-15

had no reasonable cause to believe the Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. Such indemnification shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of such Indemnitees’ heirs, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 6.5 of these Bylaws, the Corporation shall indemnify any such Indemnitee seeking indemnity in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee only if such Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board or such indemnification is authorized by an agreement approved by the Board.

6.2 Advance of Expenses.

Except as otherwise provided in a written indemnification contract between the Corporation and an Indemnitee, the Corporation shall pay on a current and as-incurred basis all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that if the DGCL then so requires, the advancement of such expenses shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such Indemnitee, to repay such amounts if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VI or otherwise.

6.3 Non-Exclusivity of Rights.

The rights conferred on any person in this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other right that such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote or consent of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. Additionally, nothing in this Article VI shall limit the ability of the Corporation, in its discretion, to indemnify or advance expenses to persons whom the Corporation is not obligated to indemnify or advance expenses pursuant to this Article VI.

6.4 Indemnification Contracts.

The Board is authorized to cause the Corporation to enter into indemnification contracts with any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or any person serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including employee benefit plans, providing indemnification or advancement rights to such person. Such rights may be greater than those provided in this Article VI.

6.5 Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit.

The following shall apply to the extent not in conflict with any indemnification contract provided for in Section 6.4 of these Bylaws.

6.5.1 Right to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 6.1 or 6.2 of these Bylaws is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be twenty (20) days, the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that the Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard of conduct which makes it permissible under the DGCL (or other applicable law) for the Corporation to indemnify the Indemnitee for the amount claimed.

6.5.2 Effect of Determination. Neither the absence of a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in applicable law, nor an actual determination that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the Indemnitee, be a defense to such suit.

6.5.3 Burden of Proof. In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article VI, or otherwise, shall be on the Corporation.

Annex C-16

6.6 Nature of Rights.

The rights conferred upon Indemnitees in this Article VI shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer or trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. Any amendment, repeal or modification of any provision of this Article VI that adversely affects any right of an Indemnitee or an Indemnitee’s successors shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any right or protection conferred on a person pursuant to this Article VI with respect to any Proceeding involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place prior to such amendment, repeal or modification.

6.7 Insurance.

The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

Article VII

NOTICES

7.1 Notice.

7.1.1 Form and Delivery. Except as otherwise specifically required in these Bylaws (including, without limitation, Section 7.1.2 of these Bylaws) or by applicable law, all notices required to be given pursuant to these Bylaws shall be in writing and may (a) in every instance in connection with any delivery to a member of the Board, be effectively given by hand delivery (including use of a delivery service), by depositing such notice in the mail, postage prepaid, or by sending such notice by overnight express courier, facsimile, electronic mail or other form of electronic transmission and (b) be effectively delivered to a stockholder when given by hand delivery, by depositing such notice in the mail, postage prepaid or, if specifically consented to by the stockholder as described in Section 7.1.2 of these Bylaws, by sending such notice by facsimile, electronic mail or other form of electronic transmission. Any such notice shall be addressed to the person to whom notice is to be given at such person’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. The notice shall be deemed given: (a) in the case of hand delivery, when received by the person to whom notice is to be given or by any person accepting such notice on behalf of such person; (b) in the case of delivery by mail, upon deposit in the mail; (c) in the case of delivery by overnight express courier, when dispatched; and (d) in the case of delivery via facsimile, electronic mail or other form of electronic transmission, at the time provided in Section 7.1.2 of these Bylaws.

7.1.2 Electronic Transmission. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given in accordance with Section 232 of the DGCL. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (a) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two (2) consecutive notices given by the Corporation in accordance with such consent and (b) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, that the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action. Notice given pursuant to this Section 7.1.2 shall be deemed given: (i) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (ii) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (iii) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of such posting and the giving of such separate notice; and (iv) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder.

7.1.3 Affidavit of Giving Notice. An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given in writing or by a form of electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

Annex C-17

7.2 Waiver of Notice.

Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a written waiver of notice, signed by the person entitled to notice, or waiver by electronic transmission by such person, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors or members of a committee of directors need be specified in any waiver of notice.

9.5 Certificate of Incorporation Governs.

In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation shall govern.

9.6 Severability.

If any provision of these Bylaws shall be held to be invalid, illegal, unenforceable or in conflict with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, then such provision shall nonetheless be enforced to the maximum extent possible consistent with such holding and the remaining provisions of these Bylaws (including without limitation, all portions of any section of these Bylaws containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal, unenforceable or in conflict with the Certificate of Incorporation, that are not themselves invalid, illegal, unenforceable or in conflict with the Certificate of Incorporation) shall remain in full force and effect.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Award originally issued under the Prior Plan, in no event will the terms applicable to such Award following this assumption, amendment and restatement impair the rights of such Participant with respect to such Award and, in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Plan and the Prior Plan that would otherwise result in such an impairment, the applicable term of the Prior Plan shall apply.

2.     Definitions.    As used herein, the following definitions will apply:

(a)     “Administrator” means the Board or any of its Committees as will be administering the Plan, in accordance with Section 4 of the Plan.

(b)     “Affiliate” means a Parent, a Subsidiary or any corporation or other entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Company.

For purposes of clarity, a termination without “Cause” does not include any termination that occurs solely as a result of Participant’s death or Disability.

A transaction shall not constitute a Change in Control if its sole purpose is to change the state of the Company’s incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transactions. In addition, if any Person (as defined above) is considered to be in effective control of the Company, the acquisition of additional control of the Company by the same Person will not be considered to cause a Change in Control. If required for compliance with Code Section 409A, in no event will a Change in Control be deemed to have occurred if such transaction is not also a “change in the ownership or effective control of” the Company or “a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of” the Company as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) (without regard to any alternative definition thereunder).

Annex D-5

3.     Stock Subject to the Plan.

(a)     Stock Subject to the Plan.    Subject to the provisions of Sections 3(b) and 15 of the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan will not exceed the sum of (i)             shares of Class A Common Stock, and (ii)         shares of Class B Common Stock. The Shares may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the provisions of Section 15 below, in no event shall the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan pursuant to Incentive Stock Options exceed the number set forth in this Section 3(a) plus, to the extent allowable under Section 422 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, any Shares that again become available for issuance pursuant to Section 3(c).

(b)     Automatic Share Reserve Increase.    The number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan will be increased on the first day of each Fiscal Year beginning with the 2022 Fiscal Year and ending on (and including) the first day of the 2031 Fiscal Year, in each case, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i)  five percent (5%) of the outstanding Shares on the last day of the immediately preceding Fiscal Year and (ii) such number of Shares determined by the Board, with such Shares to be Class A Common Stock.

(c)     Lapsed Awards.    To the extent an Award should expire or be forfeited or become unexercisable for any reason without having been exercised in full, or is surrendered pursuant to an Exchange Program, the unissued Shares that were subject thereto shall, unless the Plan shall have been terminated, continue to be available under the Plan for issuance pursuant to future Awards.  In addition, any Shares which are retained by the Company upon exercise or settlement of an Award in order to satisfy the exercise or purchase price for such Award or any withholding taxes due with respect to such Award shall be treated as not issued and shall continue to be available under the Plan for issuance pursuant to future Awards.  Shares issued under the Plan and later forfeited to the Company due to the failure to vest or repurchased by the Company at the original purchase price paid to the Company for the Shares (including, without limitation, upon forfeiture to or repurchase by the Company in connection with a Participant ceasing to be a Service Provider) shall again be available for future grant under the Plan. To the extent an Award under the Plan is paid out in cash rather than Shares, such cash payment will not result in reducing the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan.

(d)     Assumption or Substitution of Awards by the Company.    The Administrator, from time to time, may determine to substitute or assume outstanding awards granted by another company, whether in connection with an acquisition of such other company or otherwise, by either: (a) assuming such award under this Plan or (b) granting an Award under this Plan in substitution of such other company’s award. Such assumption or substitution will be permissible if the holder of the substituted or assumed award would have been eligible to be granted an Award under this Plan if the other company had applied the rules of this Plan to such grant. In the event the Administrator elects to assume an award granted by another company, subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A, the purchase price or the exercise price, as the case may be, and the number and nature of Shares issuable upon exercise or settlement of any such Award will be adjusted appropriately. In the event the Administrator elects to grant a new Option in substitution rather than assuming an existing option, such new Option may be granted with a similarly adjusted exercise price. Any awards that are assumed or substituted under this Plan shall not reduce the number of Shares authorized for grant under the Plan or authorized for grant to a Participant in any fiscal year.

4.     Administration of the Plan.

(a)     Procedure.

(i)     Multiple Administrative Bodies.    Different Committees with respect to different groups of Service Providers may administer the Plan.

(iii)     Other Administration.    Other than as provided above, the Plan will be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee, which committee will be constituted to satisfy Applicable Laws.

Annex D-6

(b)     Powers of the Administrator.    Subject to the limitations set forth in the Plan and Applicable Laws and/or any applicable Award Agreement, the Administrator will have the authority, in its discretion:

(i)     to determine the Fair Market Value in accordance with Section 2(w)(iii);

(ii)     to select the Service Providers to whom Awards may be granted hereunder;

(iii)     to determine the number of Shares to be covered by each Award granted hereunder;

(iv)     to approve forms of Award Agreements for use under the Plan;

(v)     to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award granted hereunder; such terms and conditions may include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Awards may be exercised (which may be based on Performance Goals), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Award or the Shares relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator will determine;

(vi)     to institute and determine the terms and conditions of an Exchange Program; provided however, that the Administrator shall not implement an Exchange Program without the approval of the holders of a majority of the Shares that are present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at any annual or special meeting of the Company’s stockholders;

(vii)     to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards granted pursuant to the Plan;

(viii)     correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in this Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement;

(ix)     to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations established for the purpose of satisfying non-U.S. Applicable Laws, for qualifying for favorable tax treatment under applicable non-U.S. Applicable Laws or facilitating compliance with non-U.S. Applicable Laws (sub-plans may be created for any of these purposes);

(x)     to modify or amend each Award (subject to Section 22 of the Plan), including but not limited to the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination exercisability period of Awards, to accelerate vesting and to extend the maximum term of an Option (subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and compliance with all Applicable Laws, including, without limitation, Section 6(b) of the Plan regarding Incentive Stock Options and Code Section 409A);

(xi)     adjust Performance Goals to take into account changes in Applicable Laws or in accounting or tax rules, or such other extraordinary, unforeseeable, nonrecurring or infrequently occurring events or circumstances as the Administrator deems necessary or appropriate to avoid windfalls or hardships;

(xii)     to allow Participants to satisfy tax withholding obligations in such manner as prescribed in Section 16 of the Plan;

(xiii)     to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to give effect to the grant of an Award previously granted by the Administrator;

(xiv)     to allow a Participant to defer the receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Shares that would otherwise be due to such Participant under an Award; and

(xv)     to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan.

(c)     Effect of Administrator’s Decision.    Subject to the limitations set forth in the Plan and/or any applicable Award Agreement, the Administrator’s decisions, determinations and interpretations will be final and binding on all Participants and any other holders of Awards. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be submitted by the Participant to the Company for review. Any Officer of the Company, including but not limited to Insiders, shall have the authority to review and resolve disputes with respect to Awards held by Participants who are not Insiders, and such resolution shall be final and binding on the Company and the Participant. Only the Committee shall have the authority to review and resolve disputes with respect to Awards held by Participants who are Insiders.

Annex D-7

(d)     Delegation.    To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, the Board or Committee, in its sole discretion and on such terms and conditions as it may provide, may delegate all or any part of its authority and powers under the Plan to one or more Directors or Officers.

(e)     Administration of Awards Subject to Performance Goals.    The Administrator will, in its sole discretion, determine the Performance Goals, if any, applicable to any Award (including any adjustment(s) thereto that will be applied in determining the achievement of such Performance Goals). The Performance Goals may differ from Participant to Participant and from Award to Award. The Administrator shall determine and approve the extent to which such Performance Goals have been timely achieved and the extent to which the Shares subject to such Award have thereby been earned.

(f)     Section 16 of the Exchange Act.    Awards granted to Participants who are Insiders must be approved by two or more “non-employee directors” of the Board (as defined in the regulations promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act).

5.     Award Eligibility.    Nonstatutory Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and Stock Bonuses may be granted to Service Providers. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees.

6.     Stock Options.

(a)     Limitations.    Each Option will be designated in the Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), such Options will be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 6(a), Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account in the order in which they were granted. The Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to each Option will be determined as of the date the Option with respect to such Shares is granted.

(b)     Term of Option.    The term of each Option will be stated in the Award Agreement. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the term will be ten (10) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement. Moreover, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Incentive Stock Option will be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement.

(c)     Option Exercise Price and Consideration.

(i)     Exercise Price.    The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option will be determined by the Administrator in an Award Agreement, subject to the following:

(1)     In the case of an Incentive Stock Option

(A)     granted to an Employee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price will be no less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

(B)     granted to any Employee other than an Employee described in paragraph (A) immediately above, the per Share exercise price will be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

(2)     In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the per Share exercise price will be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

(3)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to a transaction described in, and in a manner consistent with, Section 424(a) of the Code.

Annex D-8

(4)     The exercise price may be adjusted as provided in Section 14 below.

(ii)     Exercisability and Vesting.    At the time an Option is granted, the Administrator will fix the period within which the Option may vest and/or be exercised and will determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the Option may vest and/or be exercised, subject to adjustment as set forth herein or in an applicable Award Agreement. An Option will vest and/or become exercisable at such time, and upon such terms, as are determined by the Administrator in an applicable Award Agreement, which may include completion of a specified period of service with the Company or an Affiliate and/or based on the achievement of Performance Goals during a Performance Period as set out in advance in the Participant’s Award Agreement. If an Option vests and/or becomes exercisable based on the satisfaction of Performance Goals, then the Administrator will: (x) determine the nature, length and starting date of any Performance Period; (y) select the Performance Goals to be used to measure the performance; and (z) determine what additional conditions, if any, should apply.

(iii)     Form of Consideration.    The Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration at the time of grant in an applicable Award Agreement. Such consideration for both types of Options may consist of: (1) cash; (2) check; (3) promissory note, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, (4) other Shares, provided that such Shares have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which such Option will be exercised and provided that accepting such Shares will not result in any adverse accounting consequences to the Company, as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion; (5) consideration received by the Company under a broker-assisted (or other) cashless exercise program (whether through a broker or otherwise) implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan; (6) by net exercise; (7) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws; or (8) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.

(d)     Exercise of Option.

(i)     Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder.    Any Option granted hereunder will be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

An Option will be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) a notice of exercise (in such form as the Administrator may specify from time to time) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised (together with full payment of any applicable taxes or other amounts required to be withheld or deducted with respect to the Option). Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Award Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option will be issued in the name of the Participant or, if requested by the Participant, in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder will exist with respect to the Shares subject to an Option, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company will issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 15 of the Plan or an applicable Award Agreement.

(ii)     Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider.    If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the Participant’s termination as the result of the Participant’s death, Disability or Cause, the Participant may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Participant’s termination. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of termination the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the unvested portion of the Option will terminate and the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option (after giving effect to any applicable acceleration provisions that apply to such Option) will revert to the Plan. If after termination the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.

Annex D-9

(iii)     Disability of Participant.    If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Participant’s Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Participant’s termination as a result of Participant’s Disability. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of such termination the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the unvested portion of the Option will terminate and the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option (after giving effect to any applicable acceleration provisions that apply to such Option) will revert to the Plan. If after such termination the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.

(iv)     Death of Participant.    If a Participant dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised following the Participant’s death within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death (but in no event may the Option be exercised later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement), by the Participant’s designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been designated prior to Participant’s death in a form acceptable to the Administrator. If no such beneficiary has been designated by the Participant, then such Option may be exercised by the personal representative of the Participant’s estate or by the person(s) to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the Participant’s will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution. In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following Participant’s death. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of termination the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the unvested portion of the Option will terminate and the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option (after giving effect to any applicable acceleration provisions that apply to such Option) will revert to the Plan. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.

(v)     Termination for Cause.    If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of being terminated for Cause, any outstanding Option (including any vested portion thereof) held by such Participant shall immediately terminate in its entirety upon the Participant being first notified of his or her termination for Cause and the Participant will be prohibited from exercising his or her Option from and after the date of such notification. All the Participant’s rights under any Option, including the right to exercise the Option, may be suspended pending an investigation of whether Participant will be terminated for Cause.

(vi)     Automatic Extension of Term Due to Trading Restrictions.    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, as of the last date on which an Option would otherwise be exercisable, a Participant is prohibited by Applicable Law or written Company policy from engaging in any open-market sales of Common Stock, the final exercise date of such Option will be automatically extended to the date that is thirty (30) days following the date the Participant is no longer prohibited from engaging in such open-market sales; provided that the foregoing will not apply to the extent it would result in any Incentive Stock Option having a maximum term that is longer than is specified in Section 6(b) above or would result in a violation of Code Section 409A.

7.     Restricted Stock.

(a)     Grant of Restricted Stock.    Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Shares of Restricted Stock to Service Providers in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.

(b)     Vesting Criteria and Other Terms.    Each Award of Restricted Stock will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the Period of Restriction, the number of Shares granted, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, the Company as escrow agent will hold Shares of Restricted Stock until the Period of Restriction has lapsed. The Period of Restriction will lapse at such time, and upon such terms, as are determined by the Administrator in an applicable Award Agreement, which may include the completion of a specified period of service with the Company or an Affiliate and/or based on the achievement of Performance Goals during a Performance Period as set out in advance in the Participant’s Award Agreement. If the Period of Restriction will lapse upon the

Annex D-10

satisfaction of Performance Goals, then the Administrator will: (x) determine the nature, length and starting date of any Performance Period; (y) select the Performance Goals to be used to measure the performance; and (z) determine what additional conditions, if any, should apply.

(c)     Transferability.    Except as provided in this Section 7, the Award Agreement or other written agreement between the Company or any of its Affiliates and an applicable Participant, Shares of Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction.

(d)     Other Restrictions.    The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may in an applicable Award Agreement impose such other restrictions on Shares of Restricted Stock as it may deem advisable or appropriate.

(e)     Removal of Restrictions.    Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7, Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Restricted Stock grant made under the Plan will be released from escrow as soon as practicable after the last day of the Period of Restriction or at such other time as the Administrator may determine in an applicable Award Agreement. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions will lapse or be removed.

(f)     Voting Rights.    During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may exercise full voting rights with respect to those Shares, unless the Administrator determines otherwise in an applicable Award Agreement.

(g)     Dividends and Other Distributions.    Unless the Administrator provides otherwise in an applicable Award Agreement, during the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock will be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such Shares, and any such dividends or distributions will be subject to the same terms, including, without limitation, vesting and restrictions on transferability and forfeitability, as the Shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid.

(h)     Return of Restricted Stock to Company.    On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock for which restrictions have not lapsed will be cancelled and returned as unissued Shares to the Company and again will become available for grant under the Plan.

8.     Restricted Stock Units.

(a)     Grant.    Restricted Stock Units may be granted at any time and from time to time as determined by the Administrator. Restricted Stock Units granted under the Plan, including the number of Restricted Stock Units subject to such grant, will be evidenced by an Award Agreement setting forth the terms, conditions, and restrictions (if any) related to the grant, subject to the limitations set forth herein.

(b)     Vesting Criteria and Other Terms.    The Administrator will set vesting criteria and other terms in its discretion in an applicable Award Agreement, which, depending on the extent to which the vesting criteria and other terms are met, will determine the number of Restricted Stock Units that settle into shares of Common Stock. A Restricted Stock Unit Award will vest at such time, and upon such terms, as are determined by the Administrator in an applicable Award Agreement, which may include upon completion of a specified period of service with the Company or an Affiliate and/or based on the achievement of Performance Goals during a Performance Period as set out in advance in the Participant’s Award Agreement. If Restricted Stock Units vest based upon satisfaction of Performance Goals, then the Administrator will: (x) determine the nature, length and starting date of any Performance Period; (y) select the Performance Goals to be used to measure the performance; and (z) determine what additional conditions, if any, should apply.

(c)     Earning Restricted Stock Units.    Upon meeting the applicable vesting criteria and any other conditions, the Participant will be entitled to have the Restricted Stock Units settled as determined by the Administrator, subject to the limitations set forth herein or in an applicable Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the grant of Restricted Stock Units, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any vesting criteria or other conditions that must be met for the Restricted Stock Units to settle.

(d)     Dividend Equivalents.    The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, award dividend equivalents in connection with the grant of Restricted Stock Units that may be settled in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof. Absent a contrary provision in an Award Agreement, such dividend equivalents shall

Annex D-11

be subject to the same terms, restrictions and risk of forfeiture as the Restricted Stock Units with respect to which the dividends accrue and shall not be settled unless and until the related Restricted Stock Units have vested and been earned.

(e)     Form and Timing of Settlement.    Settlement of earned Restricted Stock Units will be made upon the date(s) determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may settle earned Restricted Stock Units in cash, Shares, or a combination of both.

(f)     Cancellation.    On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all Shares underlying any unvested, unearned Restricted Stock Units (after giving effect to any applicable acceleration provisions that apply to such Restricted Stock Units) will be forfeited to the Company and the underlying shares of Common Stock will be available for future issuance under the Plan in accordance with Section 3(c).

9.     Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a)     Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights.    Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, a Stock Appreciation Right may be granted to Service Providers at any time and from time to time as will be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion.

(b)     Number of Shares.    The Administrator will have complete discretion to determine the number of Stock Appreciation Rights granted to any Service Provider, which number will be set forth in an applicable Award Agreement.

(c)     Exercise Price and Other Terms.    Each Stock Appreciation Right grant will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the exercise price, the term of the Stock Appreciation Right, the conditions of exercise, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right will be determined by the Administrator and will be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. Otherwise, the Administrator, subject to the provisions of the Plan, will have complete discretion to determine the terms and conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan, which will be set forth in an applicable Award Agreement.

(d)     Exercisability and Vesting.    At the time a Stock Appreciation Right is granted, the Administrator will fix the period within which the Stock Appreciation Right may vest and/or be exercised and will determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the Option may vest and/or be exercised. A Stock Appreciation Right will vest and/or become exercisable at such time, and upon such terms, as are determined by the Administrator in an applicable Award Agreement, which may include completion of a specified period of service with the Company or an Affiliate and/or based on the achievement of Performance Goals during a Performance Period as set out in advance in the Participant’s Award Agreement. If a Stock Appreciation Right vests and/or becomes exercisable based on the satisfaction of Performance Goals, then the Administrator will: (x) determine the nature, length and starting date of any Performance Period; (y) select the Performance Goals to be used to measure the performance; and (z) determine what additional conditions, if any, should apply.

(e)     Expiration of Stock Appreciation Rights.    A Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan will expire upon the date determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rules of Section 6(b) relating to the maximum term and Section 6(d) relating to exercise also will apply to Stock Appreciation Rights, mutatis mutandis.

(f)     Payment of Stock Appreciation Right Amount.    Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, a Participant will be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying:

(i)     The amount, if any, by which the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise exceeds the exercise price; times

(ii)     The number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised.

At the discretion of the Administrator, the payment upon Stock Appreciation Right exercise may be in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof.

Annex D-12

10.     Stock Bonus Awards.

(a)     Awards of Stock Bonuses.    A Stock Bonus Award is an award of Shares to an eligible person without a purchase price that is not subject to any restrictions. All Stock Bonus Awards may be made, but are not required to be made, pursuant to an Award Agreement.

(b)     Number of Shares.    The Administrator will have complete discretion to determine the number of Shares to be awarded to any Participant under a Stock Bonus Award and any other terms applicable to such Stock Bonus Award.

(c)     Form and Timing of Payment.    Payment of a Stock Bonus Award will be made upon the date(s) determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement (unless such grant is not made pursuant to an Award Agreement as provided in Section 10(a)). Payment may be made in the form of cash, whole Shares, or a combination thereof, based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Stock Bonus Award on the date of payment, as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator.

11.     Outside Director Limitations.    Stock awards granted during a single fiscal year under the Plan or otherwise, taken together with any cash fees paid during such fiscal year for services on the Board, shall not exceed $750,000 in total value for any Outside Director, except with respect to the first year of service in which case any stock awards granted and cash fees paid will not exceed $1,000,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such stock awards, in each case, based on the grant date fair value of such stock awards for financial reporting purposes). Such applicable limit shall include the value of any stock awards that are received in lieu of all or a portion of any annual committee cash retainers or other similar cash-based payments. Stock awards granted to an individual while he or she was serving in the capacity as an Employee or while he or she was an Independent Contractor but not an Outside Director will not count for purposes of the limitations set forth in this Section 11.

12.     Leaves of Absence/Transfer Between Locations.    The Administrator shall have the discretion to determine in an applicable Award Agreement whether and to what extent the vesting of Awards shall be suspended during any leave of absence; provided, however, that in the absence of such determination, vesting of Awards shall continue during any paid leave and shall be suspended during any unpaid leave (unless otherwise required by Applicable Laws). A Participant will not cease to be an Employee in the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by the Participant’s employer or (ii) transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company or any Affiliate. If an Employee is holding an Incentive Stock Option and such leave exceeds three (3) months then, for purposes of Incentive Stock Option status only, such Employee’s service as an Employee shall be deemed terminated on the first (1st) day following such three (3) month period and the Incentive Stock Option shall thereafter automatically treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option in accordance with Applicable Laws, unless reemployment upon the expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or statute, or unless provided otherwise pursuant to a written Company policy.

13.     Change in Time Commitment.    In the event a Participant’s regular level of time commitment in the performance of his or her services for the Company or any Affiliates is reduced (for example, and without limitation, if the Participant is an Employee of the Company and the Employee has a change in status from full-time to part-time), the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may, if so provided in an applicable Award Agreement (i) make a corresponding reduction in the number of Shares or cash amount subject to any portion of any outstanding Award that is scheduled to vest, settle and/or become payable after the date of such change in time commitment, and (ii) in lieu of or in combination with such a reduction, extend or otherwise revise the vesting, settlement and/or payment schedule applicable to any outstanding Award (in accordance with all Applicable Laws, including, without limitation, Section 409A of the Code, as applicable). In the event the Administrator takes any action pursuant to this Section 13, the Participant will have no right with respect to any portion of any affected Award.

14.     Transferability of Awards.    Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator or otherwise provided in an Award Agreement or other written agreement between the Company and an applicable Participant, an Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant. If the Administrator makes an Award transferable, such Award will be subject to such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate and provides in an applicable Award Agreement provided, however, that

Annex D-13

in no event may any Award be transferred for consideration to a third-party financial institution, unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement or other applicable written agreement between the Company or any of its Affiliates and the applicable Participant.

15.     Adjustments; Dissolution or Liquidation; Merger or Change in Control.

(a)     Adjustments.    In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination, consolidation, recapitalization (including a recapitalization through a large nonrecurring cash dividend or distribution of property, including shares of a subsidiary) or reclassification of the Shares, subdivision of the Shares, a rights offering, a reorganization, merger, spin-off, split-up, repurchase, or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company or other significant corporate transaction, or other change affecting the Common Stock occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent dilution, diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, will, in such manner as it may deem equitable in its good faith discretion, adjust the number, kind and class of securities that may be delivered under the Plan and/or the number, class, kind and price of securities covered by each outstanding Award. Notwithstanding the forgoing, all adjustments under this Section 15 shall be made in a manner that does not result in taxation or penalties under Code Section 409A.

(b)     Dissolution or Liquidation.    In the event of the proposed winding up, dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator will notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. To the extent it has not been previously exercised or settled, and without limiting Section 14(a) or 14(c) herein, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

(c)     Corporate Transaction.    Except as otherwise provided in an applicable Award Agreement or other agreement with the Participant that is binding upon the Company, in the event of (i) a transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, (ii) a merger, consolidation or other capital reorganization or business combination transaction of the Company with or into another corporation, entity or person, (iii) the consummation of a transaction, or series of related transactions, in which any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Company’s then outstanding capital stock, or (iv) a Change in Control (each, a “Corporate Transaction”), each outstanding Award (vested or unvested) will be treated as the Administrator determines, which determination may be made without the consent of any Participant and need not treat all outstanding Awards (or portion thereof) in an identical manner. Such determination, without the consent of any Participant, shall provide for one or more of the following in the event of a Corporate Transaction: (A) the continuation of such outstanding Awards by the Company (if the Company is the surviving corporation); (B) the assumption of such outstanding Awards by the surviving corporation or its parent; (C) the substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent of new options or other equity awards for such Awards that preserve (as of immediately after the Corporate Transaction) the intrinsic value of such Awards (as of immediately prior to the Corporate Transaction); (D) the cancellation of such outstanding Awards in exchange for a payment to the Participants equal to the excess of (1) the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such Awards as of the closing date of such Corporate Transaction over (2) the exercise price or purchase price paid or to be paid (if any) for the Shares subject to the Awards; provided that, at the discretion of the Administrator and to the extent permissible under all Applicable Laws (including without limitation Section 409A of the Code), such payment may be subject to the same conditions that apply to the consideration that will be paid to holders of Shares in connection with the transaction; (E) the full or partial acceleration of vesting, settlement, payment and/or expiration of such outstanding Awards as of immediately prior to the Corporate Transaction; (F) the full or partial lapse of forfeiture, repurchase or reacquisition rights with respect to Shares previously acquired pursuant to any Awards as of immediately prior to the Corporate Transaction; or (G) the opportunity for Participants to exercise such outstanding Options and/or Stock Appreciation Rights prior to the occurrence of the Corporate Transaction and the termination of such outstanding, unexercised Options and/or Stock Appreciation Rights upon the consummation of such Corporate Transaction for no consideration but only if such right may be exercised by the Participant by broker-assisted transaction or through net exercise and net tax withholding.

(d)     Change in Control.    An Award may be subject to additional acceleration of vesting, settlement, payment and/or expiration upon or after a Change in Control as may be provided in the Award Agreement for

Annex D-14

such Award or as may be provided in any other written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and the Participant, but in the absence of such provision, no such acceleration will occur unless approved by the Administrator.

16.     Tax.

(a)     Withholding Requirements.    Subject to any limitations provided in an applicable Award Agreement, prior to the delivery of any Shares or cash pursuant to an Award (or exercise or settlement thereof) or prior to any time the Award or Shares are subject to taxation or other Tax-Related Items, the Company and/or the Participant’s employer will have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any Tax-Related Items or other items that the Company or any Affiliate is required to withhold or deduct or that is otherwise applicable with respect to such Award.

(b)     Withholding Arrangements.    The Administrator, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time (but subject to any limitations set forth in an applicable Award Agreement), may require a Participant to satisfy such withholding or deduction obligations or any other Tax-Related Items, in whole or in part by (without limitation) (i) paying cash, (ii) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable cash or Shares, (iii) delivering to the Company already-owned Shares, or (iv) such other method as may be set forth in the Award Agreement; provided that, unless specifically permitted by the Company, any proceeds derived from a cashless exercise must be an approved broker-assisted cashless exercise or the cash or Shares withheld or delivered must be limited to avoid financial accounting charges under applicable accounting guidance or Shares must have been previously held for the minimum duration required to avoid financial accounting charges under applicable accounting guidance. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld or delivered will be determined based on such methodology that the Company deems to be reasonable and in accordance with Applicable Laws.

(c)     Compliance With Code Section 409A.    Awards will be designed and operated in such a manner that they are either exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Code Section 409A such that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Code Section 409A. The Plan and each Award Agreement under the Plan is intended to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A (or an exemption therefrom) and will be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent, except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. To the extent that an Award or payment, or the settlement or deferral thereof, is subject to Code Section 409A the Award will be granted, paid, settled or deferred in a manner that will meet the requirements of Code Section 409A (or an exemption therefrom), such that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Code Section 409A. In no event will the Company be responsible for or reimburse a Participant for any taxes or other penalties incurred as a result of the application of Code Section 409A to the extent such taxes result from the failure of the Plan or an Award Agreement to be in documentary compliance with Code Section 409A.

17.     No Effect on Employment or Service.    Neither the Plan nor any Award will confer upon a Participant any right with respect to continuing the Participant’s relationship as a Service Provider with the Company or any Affiliate, nor will they interfere in any way with the Participant’s right or the Company’s or any Affiliate’s right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

18.     Date of Grant.    The date of grant of an Award will be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Award, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination will be provided to each Participant within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

19.     Corporate Records Control.    In the event that the corporate records (e.g., Board consents, resolutions or minutes) documenting the corporate action constituting the grant contain terms (e.g., exercise price, vesting schedule or number of Shares) that are inconsistent with those in the Award Agreement or related grant documents as a result of a clerical error in the papering of the Award Agreement or related grant documents, the corporate records will control and the Participant will have no legally binding right to the incorrect term in the Award Agreement or related grant documents.

Annex D-15

20.     Clawback/Recovery.    The Administrator may specify in an Award Agreement that the Participant’s rights, payments, and/or benefits with respect to an Award will be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, and/or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any applicable vesting, performance or other conditions and restrictions of an Award. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary under this Plan, an Award granted under the Plan shall be subject to the Company’s clawback policy to the extent such policy is adopted pursuant to, and consistent with the requirements of, Applicable Laws. The Administrator may require a Participant to forfeit or return to and/or reimburse the Company for all or a portion of the Award and/or Shares issued under the Award, any amounts paid under, or benefits provided pursuant to, the Award, and any payments or proceeds paid or provided upon disposition of the Shares issued under the Award, pursuant to the terms of such Company clawback policy or as necessary or appropriate to comply with Applicable Laws.

21.     Term of Plan.    Subject to Section 25 of the Plan, the restatement of the Prior Plan into this Plan became effective as of the Effective Date. The Plan will continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years measured from the earlier of the date the Board approves restatement of the Prior Plan into this Plan or the approval of such restatement by the Company’s stockholders, unless terminated earlier under Section 22 of the Plan.

22.     Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

(a)     Amendment and Termination.    The Administrator may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan, subject to Section 22(b) and (c).

(b)     Stockholder Approval.    The Company will obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws.

(c)     Effect of Amendment or Termination.    No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan will materially impair the rights of any Participant, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company. Termination of the Plan will not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

23.     Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

(a)     Legal Compliance.    Shares will not be issued pursuant to the vesting, exercise, settlement or payment (as applicable) of an Award unless the vesting, exercise, settlement or payment of such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares or cash will comply with Applicable Laws as determined by the Company in good faith.

(b)     Investment Representations.    As a condition to the vesting, exercise, settlement or payment of an Award, the Company may require the Participant to represent and warrant at the time of any such vesting, exercise, settlement or payment that the Shares are being purchased or issued only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.

24.     Inability to Obtain Authority.    The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares, or payment of cash, hereunder, will relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares, or pay such cash, as to which such requisite authority will not have been obtained.

25.     Stockholder Approval.    The Plan will be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the Prior Plan was restated into this Plan. Such stockholder approval will be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws.

26.     Governing Law.    The Plan and all Awards hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, but without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

The Plan permits the grant of Restricted Stock Units.

2.     Definitions.    As used herein, the following definitions will apply:

(a)     “Administrator” means the Board or any of its Committees as will be administering the Plan, in accordance with Section 4 of the Plan.

(b)     “Affiliate” means a Parent, a Subsidiary or any corporation or other entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Company.

(d)     “Award” means, individually or collectively, a grant under the Plan of Restricted Stock Units.

(e)     “Award Agreement” means the written or electronic agreement setting forth the terms and provisions applicable to each Award granted under the Plan. The Award Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

(g)     “Cause” means, with respect to the termination of a Participant’s status as a Service Provider, (i) except as otherwise defined in an Award Agreement, in the case where there is no employment agreement, consulting agreement, change in control agreement or similar agreement in effect between the Company or an Affiliate of the Company and the Participant at the time of the grant of the Award (or where there is such an agreement but it does not define “cause” (or words of like import) or where it only applies upon the occurrence of a change in control and one has not yet taken place): (A) any material breach by Participant of any material written agreement between Participant and the Company; (B) any failure by Participant to comply with the Company’s material written policies or rules as they may be in effect from time to time; (C) neglect or persistent unsatisfactory performance of Participant’s duties; (D) Participant’s repeated failure to follow reasonable and lawful instructions from the Board or Chief Executive Officer; (E) Participant’s indictment for, conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, any felony or crime that results in, or is reasonably expected to result in, a material adverse effect on the business or reputation of the Company; (F) Participant’s commission of or participation in an act of fraud against the Company; (G) Participant’s commission of or participation in an act that results in material damage to the Company’s business, property or reputation; or (H) Participant’s unauthorized use or disclosure of any proprietary information or trade secrets of the Company or any other party to whom the Participant owes an obligation of nondisclosure as a result of his or her relationship with the Company; or (ii) in the case where there is an employment agreement, consulting agreement, change in control agreement or similar agreement in effect between the Company or an Affiliate and the Participant at the time of the grant of the Award that defines “cause” (or words of like import), “cause” as defined under such agreement (taking into account, for the avoidance of doubt, applicable cure periods and other applicable conditions to such determination); provided, however, that with regard to any agreement under which the definition of “cause” only applies on occurrence of a change in control, such definition of “cause” shall not apply until a change in control actually takes place and then only with regard to a termination thereafter. For purposes of clarity, a termination without “Cause” does not include any termination that occurs solely as a result of Participant’s death or Disability. Where a determination is made under clause (i) above, the determination as to whether a

Annex E-1

Participant’s status as a Service Provider for purposes of the Plan has been terminated for Cause shall be made in good faith by the Company and shall be final and binding on the Participant. Where a determination is made under clause (ii) above, the determination as to whether a Participant’s status as a Service Provider for purposes of the Plan has been terminated for Cause will be made in accordance with the applicable employment agreement, consulting agreement, change in control agreement or similar agreement. The foregoing definition does not in any way limit the Company’s ability (or that of any Affiliate or any successor thereto, as appropriate) to terminate a Participant’s employment or consulting relationship at any time, subject to Applicable Laws.

(h)     “Change in Control” except as may otherwise be provided in an Award Agreement or other applicable agreement that is executed by an applicable Participant after the Effective Date hereof, means the occurrence of any of the following:

(i)     The consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity or any other corporate reorganization, if the Company’s stockholders immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or reorganization cease to directly or indirectly own immediately after such merger, consolidation or reorganization at least a majority of the combined voting power of the continuing or surviving entity’s securities outstanding immediately after such merger, consolidation or reorganization in substantially the same proportions immediately after such merger, consolidation or reorganization as in effect immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or reorganization;

(ii)     The consummation of the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (other than (x) to a corporation or other entity of which at least a majority of its combined voting power is owned directly or indirectly by the Company, (y) to a corporation or other entity owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Common Stock of the Company or (z) to a continuing or surviving entity described in Section 2(h)(i) in connection with a merger, consolidation or reorganization which does not result in a Change in Control under Section 2(h)(i));

(iii)     A change in the effective control of the Company, which occurs on the date that a majority of members of the Board is replaced during any twelve (12) month period by Directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board prior to the date of the appointment or election; or

(iv)     The consummation of any transaction as a result of which any Person becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities. For purposes of this Section 2(h), the term “Person” shall have the same meaning as when used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act but shall exclude:

(1)     a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or an Affiliate;

(2)     a corporation or other entity owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Common Stock of the Company;

(3)     the Company; and

(4)     a corporation or other entity of which at least a majority of its combined voting power is owned directly or indirectly by the Company.

A transaction shall not constitute a Change in Control if its sole purpose is to change the state of the Company’s incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transactions. In addition, if any Person (as defined above) owns more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities and no other Person or group of related Persons owns a greater percentage of such voting power, the acquisition of additional securities of the Company by the same Person will not be considered to cause a Change in Control. If required for compliance with Code Section 409A, in no event will a Change in Control be deemed to have occurred if such transaction is not also a “change in the ownership or effective control of” the Company or “a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of” the Company as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) (without regard to any alternative definition thereunder).

6.     Restricted Stock Units.

(a)     Grant.    Restricted Stock Units granted under the Plan, including the number of Restricted Stock Units subject to such grant, will be evidenced by an Award Agreement setting forth the terms, conditions, and restrictions (if any) related to the grant, subject to the limitations set forth herein.

Annex E-5

(b)     Vesting Criteria and Other Terms.    A Restricted Stock Unit Award will vest at such time, and upon such terms, as are determined by the Administrator consistent with the Business Combination Agreement, the Plan and Applicable Laws, and set forth in an applicable Award Agreement. The extent to which the vesting criteria and other terms set by the Administrator are met will determine the number of Restricted Stock Units that settle into shares of Common Stock.

(c)     Earning Restricted Stock Units.    Upon meeting the applicable vesting criteria and any other conditions, the Participant will be entitled to have the Restricted Stock Units settled as determined by the Administrator, subject to the limitations set forth herein or in an applicable Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the grant of Restricted Stock Units, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any vesting criteria or other conditions that must be met for the Restricted Stock Units to settle.

(d)     Dividend Equivalents.    The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, award dividend equivalents in connection with the grant of Restricted Stock Units that may be settled in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof. Absent a contrary provision in an Award Agreement, such dividend equivalents shall be subject to the same terms, restrictions and risk of forfeiture as the Restricted Stock Units with respect to which the dividends accrue and shall not be settled unless and until the related Restricted Stock Units have vested and been earned.

(e)     Form and Timing of Settlement.    Settlement of earned Restricted Stock Units will be made upon the date(s) determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may settle earned Restricted Stock Units in cash, Shares, or a combination of both.

(f)     Cancellation.    On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all Shares underlying any unvested, unearned Restricted Stock Units (after giving effect to any applicable acceleration provisions that apply to such Restricted Stock Units) will be forfeited to the Company and the underlying shares of Common Stock will not be available for future issuance under the Plan.

7.     Leaves of Absence/Transfer Between Locations.    The Administrator shall have the discretion to determine in an applicable Award Agreement whether and to what extent the vesting of Awards shall be suspended during any leave of absence; provided, however, that in the absence of such determination, vesting of Awards shall continue during any paid leave and shall be suspended during any unpaid leave (unless otherwise required by Applicable Laws). A Participant will not cease to be an Employee in the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by the Participant’s employer or (ii) transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company or any Affiliate.

8.     Transferability of Awards.    Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator or otherwise provided in an Award Agreement or other written agreement between the Company or any of its Affiliates and an applicable Participant, an Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant. If the Administrator makes an Award transferable, such Award will be subject to such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate and provides in an applicable Award Agreement provided, however, that in no event may any Award be transferred for consideration to a third-party financial institution, unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement or other applicable written agreement between the Company or any of its Affiliates and the applicable Participant.

Notwithstanding the forgoing, all adjustments under this Section 9 shall be made in a manner that does not result in taxation or penalties under Code Section 409A.

Annex E-6

(b)     Dissolution or Liquidation.    In the event of the proposed winding up, dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator will notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. To the extent it has not been previously settled, and without limiting Section 9(a) or 9(c) herein, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

(c)     Corporate Transaction.    Except as otherwise provided in an applicable Award Agreement or other agreement with the Participant that is binding upon the Company, in the event of (i) a transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, (ii) a merger, consolidation or other capital reorganization or business combination transaction of the Company with or into another corporation, entity or person, (iii) the consummation of a transaction, or series of related transactions, in which any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Company’s then outstanding capital stock, or (iv) a Change in Control (each, a “Corporate Transaction”), each outstanding Award (vested or unvested) will be treated as the Administrator determines, which determination may be made without the consent of any Participant and need not treat all outstanding Awards (or portion thereof) in an identical manner. Such determination, without the consent of any Participant, shall provide for one or more of the following in the event of a Corporate Transaction: (A) the continuation of such outstanding Awards by the Company (if the Company is the surviving corporation); (B) the assumption of such outstanding Awards by the surviving corporation or its parent; (C) the substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent of new equity awards for such Awards that preserve (as of immediately after the Corporate Transaction) the intrinsic value of such Awards (as of immediately prior to the Corporate Transaction); (D) the cancellation of such outstanding Awards in exchange for a payment to the Participants equal to the Fair Market Value of the vested Shares subject to such Awards as of the closing date of such Corporate Transaction; provided that, at the discretion of the Administrator and to the extent permissible under all Applicable Laws (including without limitation Section 409A of the Code), such payment may be subject to the same conditions that apply to the consideration that will be paid to holders of Shares in connection with the transaction; or (E) the full or partial acceleration of vesting, settlement, payment and/or expiration of such outstanding Awards as of immediately prior to the Corporate Transaction.

(d)     Change in Control.    An Award may be subject to additional acceleration of vesting, settlement, payment and/or expiration upon or after a Change in Control as may be provided in the Award Agreement for such Award or as may be provided in any other written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and the Participant, but in the absence of such provision, no such acceleration will occur unless approved by the Administrator.

10.     Tax.

(a)     Withholding Requirements.    Subject to any limitations provided in an applicable Award Agreement, prior to the delivery of any Shares or cash pursuant to an Award (or settlement thereof) or prior to any time the Award or Shares are subject to taxation or other Tax-Related Items, the Company and/or the Participant’s employer will have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any Tax-Related Items or other items that the Company or any Affiliate is required to withhold or deduct or that is otherwise applicable with respect to such Award.

(b)     Withholding Arrangements.    The Administrator, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time (but subject to any limitations set forth in an applicable Award Agreement), may permit a Participant to satisfy such withholding or deduction obligations or any other Tax-Related Items, in whole or in part by (without limitation) (i) paying cash, (ii) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable cash or Shares, (iii) delivering to the Company already-owned Shares, or (iv) such other method as may be set forth in the Award Agreement. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld or delivered will be determined based on such methodology that the Company deems to be reasonable and in accordance with Applicable Laws.

(c)     Compliance With Code Section 409A.    Awards will be designed and operated in such a manner that they are either exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Code Section 409A such that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Code Section 409A. The Plan and each Award Agreement under the Plan is intended to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A (or an exemption therefrom) and will be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent, except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. To the extent that an Award or payment,

Annex E-7

or the settlement or deferral thereof, is subject to Code Section 409A the Award will be granted, paid, settled or deferred in a manner that will meet the requirements of Code Section 409A (or an exemption therefrom), such that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Code Section 409A. In no event will the Company be responsible for or reimburse a Participant for any taxes or other penalties incurred as a result of the application of Code Section 409A to the extent such taxes result from the failure of the Plan or an Award Agreement to be in documentary compliance with Code Section 409A.

11.     No Effect on Employment or Service.    Neither the Plan nor any Award will confer upon a Participant any right with respect to continuing the Participant’s relationship as a Service Provider with the Company or any Affiliate, nor will they interfere in any way with the Participant’s right or the Company’s or any Affiliate’s right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

12.     Date of Grant.    The date of grant of an Award will be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Award, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination will be provided to each Participant within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

13.     Corporate Records Control.    In the event that the corporate records (e.g., Board consents, resolutions or minutes) documenting the corporate action constituting the grant contain terms (e.g., vesting schedule or number of Shares) that are inconsistent with those in the Award Agreement or related grant documents as a result of a clerical error in the papering of the Award Agreement or related grant documents, the corporate records will control and the Participant will have no legally binding right to the incorrect term in the Award Agreement or related grant documents.

14.     Clawback/Recovery.    The Administrator may specify in an Award Agreement that the Participant’s rights, payments, and/or benefits with respect to an Award will be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, and/or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any applicable vesting, performance or other conditions and restrictions of an Award. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary under this Plan, an Award granted under the Plan shall be subject to the Company’s clawback policy to the extent such policy is adopted pursuant to, and consistent with the requirements of, Applicable Laws. The Administrator may require a Participant to forfeit or return to and/or reimburse the Company for all or a portion of the Award and/or Shares issued under the Award, any amounts paid under, or benefits provided pursuant to, the Award, and any payments or proceeds paid or provided upon disposition of the Shares issued under the Award, pursuant to the terms of such Company clawback policy or as necessary or appropriate to comply with Applicable Laws.

15.     Term of Plan.    Subject to Section 19 of the Plan, the Plan will become effective as of the Effective Date. The Plan will continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years measured from the earlier of the date the Board approves this Plan or the approval of this Plan by the Company’s stockholders, unless terminated earlier under Section 16 of the Plan.

16.     Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

(a)     Amendment and Termination.    The Administrator may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan, subject to Section 16(b) and (c).

(b)     Stockholder Approval.    The Company will obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws.

(c)     Effect of Amendment or Termination.    No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan will materially impair the rights of any Participant, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company. Termination of the Plan will not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

17.     Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

(a)     Legal Compliance.    Shares will not be issued pursuant to the vesting, settlement or payment (as applicable) of an Award unless the vesting, settlement or payment of such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares or cash will comply with Applicable Laws as determined by the Company in good faith.

Annex E-8

(b)     Investment Representations.    As a condition to the vesting, settlement or payment of an Award, the Company may require the Participant to represent and warrant at the time of any such vesting, settlement or payment that the Shares are being purchased or issued only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.

18.     Inability to Obtain Authority.    The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares, or payment of cash, hereunder, will relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares, or pay such cash, as to which such requisite authority will not have been obtained.

19.     Stockholder Approval.    The Plan will be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board. Such stockholder approval will be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws.

20.     Governing Law.    The Plan and all Awards hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, but without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

VOLTA INC.

2021 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

1.     General; Purpose.

(a)     Purpose.    The Plan provides a means by which Eligible Employees and/or Eligible Service Providers of either the Company or a Designated Company may be given an opportunity to purchase shares of Common Stock. The Plan permits the Company to grant a series of Purchase Rights to Eligible Employees and/or Eligible Service Providers. The Company, by means of the Plan, seeks to, and seeks to assist its Related Corporations or Affiliates to, retain the services of Eligible Employees and Eligible Service Providers and provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for the success of the Company and its Related Corporations and Affiliates.

(b)     Qualified and Non-Qualified Offerings Permitted.    The Plan includes two components: a 423 Component and a Non423 Component. The Company intends (but makes no undertaking or representation to maintain) the 423 Component to qualify as an Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The provisions of the 423 Component, accordingly, will be construed in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code, including without limitation, to extend and limit Plan participation in a uniform and non-discriminating basis. In addition, this Plan authorizes grants of Purchase Rights under the Non-423 Component that do not meet the requirements of an Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or determined by the Board, the Non-423 Component will operate and be administered in the same manner as the 423 Component. In addition, the Company may make separate Offerings which vary in terms (provided that such terms are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, except with respect to a Non-423 Component, the terms of which may vary from the requirements of the Plan that relate to qualification as an Employee Stock Purchase Plan), and the Company will designate which Designated Company is participating in each separate Offering and if any Eligible Service Providers will be eligible to participate in a separate Offering. Eligible Employees will be able to participate in the 423 Component or Non-423 Component of the Plan. Eligible Service Providers will only be able to participate in the Non-423 Component of the Plan.

2.     Administration.

(a)     The Board will administer the Plan unless and until the Board delegates administration of the Plan to a Committee or Committees, as provided in Section 2(c).

(b)     The Board will have the power, subject to, and within the limitations of, the express provisions of the Plan and in accordance with Applicable Laws:

(i)     To determine how and when Purchase Rights will be granted and the provisions of each Offering (which need not be identical).

(ii)     To designate from time to time which Related Corporations will be eligible to participate in the Plan as Designated 423 Corporations or as Designated Non-423 Corporations, which Affiliates will be eligible to participate in the Plan as Designated Non-423 Corporations, and which Designated Companies will participate in each separate Offering (to the extent that the Company makes separate Offerings).

(iii)     To designate from time to time which persons will be eligible to participate in the Non423 Component of the Plan as Eligible Service Providers and which Eligible Service Providers will participate in each separate Offering (to the extent that the Company makes separate Offerings).

(iv)     To construe and interpret the Plan and Purchase Rights, and to establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for its administration. The Board, in the exercise of this power, may correct any defect, omission or inconsistency in the Plan, in a manner and to the extent it deems necessary or expedient to make the Plan fully effective.

(v)     To settle all controversies regarding the Plan and Purchase Rights granted under the Plan.

(vi)     To suspend or terminate the Plan at any time as provided in Section 12.

Annex F-1

(vii)     To amend the Plan at any time as provided in Section 12.

(viii)     Generally, to exercise such powers and to perform such acts as it deems necessary or expedient to promote the best interests of the Company, its Related Corporations, and Affiliates and to carry out the intent that the 423 Component be treated as an Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

(ix)     To adopt such rules, procedures and sub-plans relating to the operation and administration of the Plan as are necessary or appropriate under Applicable Laws to permit or facilitate participation in the Plan by Employees or Eligible Service Providers who are non-U.S. nationals or employed or providing services or located or otherwise subject to the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States. Without limiting the generality of, but consistent with, the foregoing, the Board specifically is authorized to adopt rules, procedures, and sub-plans, which, for purposes of the Non-423 Component, may be beyond the scope of Section 423 of the Code, regarding, without limitation, eligibility to participate in the Plan, handling and making of Contributions, establishment of bank or trust accounts to hold Contributions, payment of interest, conversion of local currency, obligations to pay payroll tax, determination of beneficiary designation requirements, withholding procedures and handling of share issuances, any of which may vary according to Applicable Laws.

(c)     The Board may delegate some or all of the administration of the Plan to a Committee or Committees. If administration is delegated to a Committee, the Committee will have, in connection with the administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore possessed by the Board that have been delegated to the Committee, including the power to delegate to a subcommittee any of the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to exercise (and references in this Plan to the Board will thereafter be to the Committee or subcommittee), subject, however, to such resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan and Applicable Laws, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board. The Board may retain the authority to concurrently administer the Plan with the Committee and may, at any time, revest in the Board some or all of the powers previously delegated. Whether or not the Board has delegated administration of the Plan to a Committee, the Board will have the final power to determine all questions of policy and expediency that may arise in the administration of the Plan.

(d)     All determinations, interpretations and constructions made by the Board in good faith will not be subject to review by any person and will be final, binding and conclusive on all persons.

3.     Shares of Common Stock Subject to the Plan.

(a)     Number of Shares Available.    Subject to the provisions of Section 11(a) relating to Capitalization Adjustments, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan will not exceed             shares of Common Stock. .

(b)     Share Recycling.    If any Purchase Right granted under the Plan terminates without having been exercised in full, the shares of Common Stock not purchased under such Purchase Right will again become available for issuance under the Plan.

(c)     Source of Shares.    The stock purchasable under the Plan will be shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Stock, including shares repurchased by the Company on the open market.

4.     Grant of Purchase Rights; Offering.

(a)     Offerings.    The Board may from time to time grant or provide for the grant of Purchase Rights to Eligible Employees and/or Eligible Service Providers under an Offering (consisting of one or more Purchase Periods) on an Offering Date or Offering Dates selected by the Board. Each Offering will be in such form and will contain such terms and conditions as the Board will deem appropriate, and, with respect to the 423 Component, will comply with the requirement of Section 423(b)(5) of the Code that all Employees granted Purchase Rights will have the same rights and privileges. The terms and conditions of an Offering will be incorporated by reference into the Plan and treated as part of the Plan. The provisions of separate Offerings need not be identical, but each Offering will include (through incorporation of the provisions of this Plan by reference in the Offering Document or otherwise) the period during which the Offering will be effective, which period will not exceed twenty seven (27) months beginning with the Offering Date, and the substance of the provisions contained in Sections 5 through8, inclusive.

Annex F-2

(b)     More than One Purchase Right.    If a Participant has more than one Purchase Right outstanding under the Plan, unless he or she otherwise indicates in forms delivered to the Company: (i) each form will apply to all of his or her Purchase Rights under the Plan, and (ii) a Purchase Right with a lower exercise price (or an earlier-granted Purchase Right, if different Purchase Rights have identical exercise prices) will be exercised to the fullest possible extent before a Purchase Right with a higher exercise price (or a later-granted Purchase Right if different Purchase Rights have identical exercise prices) will be exercised.

(c)     Restart Provision Permitted.    The Board will have the discretion to structure an Offering so that if the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the first Trading Day of a new Purchase Period within that Offering is less than or equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Offering Date for that Offering, then (i) that Offering will terminate immediately as of that first Trading Day, and (ii) the Participants in such terminated Offering will be automatically enrolled in a new Offering beginning on the first Trading Day of such new Offering.

5.     Eligibility.

(a)     General.    Purchase Rights may be granted only to Employees of the Company or, as the Board may designate in accordance with Section 2(b), to Employees of a Related Corporation or, solely with respect to the Non-423 Component, Employees of an Affiliate or Eligible Service Providers.

(b)     Grant of Purchase Rights in Ongoing Offering.    The Board may provide that Employees will not be eligible to be granted Purchase Rights under the Plan if, on the Offering Date, the Employee (i) has not completed at least two (2) years of service since the Employee’s last hire date (or such lesser period of time as may be determined by the Board in its discretion), (ii) customarily works not more than twenty (20) hours per week (or such lesser period of time as may be determined by the Board in its discretion), (iii) customarily works not more than five (5) months per calendar year (or such lesser period of time as may be determined by the Board in its discretion), (iv) is a highly compensated employee within the meaning of Section 423(b)(4)(D) of the Code, or (v) has not satisfied such other criteria as the Board may determine consistent with Section 423 of the Code. Unless otherwise determined by the Board for any Offering, an Employee will not be eligible to be granted Purchase Rights unless, on the Offering Date, the Employee has completed at least three (3) months of service since the Employee’s last hire date and customarily works more than twenty (20) hours per week and more than five (5) months per calendar year.

(c)     5% Stockholders Excluded.    No Employee will be eligible for the grant of any Purchase Rights if, immediately after any such Purchase Rights are granted, such Employee owns stock possessing five (5) percent or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or of any Related Corporation. For purposes of this Section 5(c), the rules of Section 424(d) of the Code will apply in determining the stock ownership of any Employee, and stock which such Employee may purchase under all outstanding Purchase Rights and options will be treated as stock owned by such Employee.

(d)     $25,000 Limit.    As specified by Section 423(b)(8) of the Code, an Eligible Employee may be granted Purchase Rights only if such Purchase Rights, together with any other rights granted under all Employee Stock Purchase Plans of the Company and any Related Corporations, do not permit such Eligible Employee’s rights to purchase stock of the Company or any Related Corporation to accrue at a rate which, when aggregated, exceeds U.S. $25,000 of Fair Market Value of such stock (determined at the time such rights are granted, and which, with respect to the Plan, will be determined as of their respective Offering Dates) for each calendar year in which such rights are outstanding at any time.

(e)     Service Requirement.    An Eligible Service Provider will not be eligible to be granted Purchase Rights unless the Eligible Service Provider is providing bonafide services to the Company or a Designated Company on the applicable Offering Date.

(f)     Non-423 Component Offerings.    Notwithstanding anything set forth herein except for Section 5(e) above, the Board may establish additional eligibility requirements, or fewer eligibility requirements, for Employees and/or Eligible Service Providers with respect to Offerings made under the Non-423 Component even if such requirements are not consistent with Section 423 of the Code.

Annex F-3

6.     Purchase Rights; Purchase Price.

(a)     Grant and Maximum Contribution Rate.    On each Offering Date, each Eligible Employee or Eligible Service Provider, pursuant to an Offering made under the Plan, will be granted a Purchase Right to purchase up to that number of shares of Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) purchasable either with a percentage or with a maximum dollar amount of such Employee’s earnings (as defined by the Board in each Offering and consistent with Section 423(b)(5) of the Code, as applicable), as designated by the Board; provided however, that in the case of Eligible Employees, such percentage or maximum dollar amount will in either case not exceed 15% of such Employee’s earnings during the period that begins on the Offering Date (or such later date as the Board determines for a particular Offering) and ends on the date stated in the Offering, which date will be no later than the end of the Offering, unless otherwise provided for in an Offering.

(b)     Purchase Dates.    The Board will establish one or more Purchase Dates during an Offering on which Purchase Rights granted for that Offering will be exercised and shares of Common Stock will be purchased in accordance with such Offering.

(c)     Other Purchase Limitations.    In connection with each Offering made under the Plan, the Board may specify (i) a maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased by any Participant on any Purchase Date during such Offering, (ii) a maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased by all Participants pursuant to such Offering, and (iii) a maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased by all Participants on any Purchase Date under the Offering. If the aggregate purchase of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of Purchase Rights granted under the Offering would exceed any such maximum aggregate number, then, in the absence of any Board action otherwise, a pro rata (based on each Participant’s accumulated Contributions) allocation of the shares of Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) available will be made in as nearly a uniform manner as will be practicable and equitable.

(d)     Purchase Price.    The purchase price of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to Purchase Rights will be not less than the lesser of:

(i)     an amount equal to 85%1 of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the Offering Date; or

(ii)     an amount equal to 85% of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the applicable Purchase Date.

7.     Participation; Withdrawal; Termination.

(a)     Enrollment.    An Eligible Employee may elect to authorize payroll deductions as the means of making Contributions by completing and delivering to the Company, within the time specified by the Company, an enrollment form provided by the Company or any third party designated by the Company (each, a “Company Designee”). The enrollment form will specify the amount of Contributions not to exceed the maximum amount specified by the Board. Each Participant’s Contributions will be credited to a bookkeeping account for such Participant under the Plan and will be deposited with the general funds of the Company except where Applicable Laws require that Contributions be deposited with a Company Designee or otherwise be segregated.

(b)     Contributions.    If permitted in the Offering, a Participant may begin Contributions with the first payroll or payment date occurring on or after the Offering Date (or, in the case of a payroll date or payment date that occurs after the end of the prior Offering but before the Offering Date of the next new Offering, Contributions from such payroll or payment will be included in the new Offering) or on such other date as set forth in the Offering. If permitted in the Offering, a Participant may thereafter reduce (including to zero) or increase his or her Contributions. If required under Applicable Laws or if specifically provided in the Offering, in addition to or instead of making Contributions by payroll deductions, a Participant may make Contributions through a payment by cash, check, or wire transfer prior to a Purchase Date, in a manner directed by the Company or a Company Designee.

____________

​1        Note to Draft: Subject to further discussion with respect to discount amount and holding period requirements. Plan document sets forth maximum discount. Can address discount amount applicable to an Offering and any holding period for shares acquired in an Offering in the Offering Document. The Offering Document will be subject to the approval of the post-closing CC, so it will be up to CC to decide the ultimate terms of the Offering. We just want to provide for flexibility under the plan terms for now.

Annex F-4

(c)     Withdrawals.    During an Offering, a Participant may cease making Contributions and withdraw from the Offering by delivering to the Company or a Company Designee a withdrawal form provided by the Company. The Company may impose a deadline before a Purchase Date for withdrawing. On such withdrawal, such Participant’s Purchase Right in that Offering will immediately terminate and the Company will distribute as soon as practicable to such Participant all of his or her accumulated but unused Contributions without interest (except as required by Applicable Law) and such Participant’s Purchase Right in that Offering will then terminate. A Participant’s withdrawal from that Offering will have no effect on his or her eligibility to participate in any other Offerings under the Plan, but such Participant will be required to deliver a new enrollment form to participate in subsequent Offerings.

(d)     Termination of Eligibility.    Purchase Rights granted pursuant to any Offering under the Plan will terminate immediately if the Participant either (i) is no longer an Eligible Employee or Eligible Service Provider for any reason or for no reason, or (ii) is otherwise no longer eligible to participate. The Company shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when Participant is no longer actively providing services and the date of the termination of employment or service for purposes of the Plan. As soon as practicable, the Company will distribute to such individual all of his or her accumulated but unused Contributions without interest (except as required by Applicable Law).

(e)     Leave of Absence.    For purposes of this Section 7, an Employee will not be deemed to have terminated employment or failed to remain in the continuous employ of the Company or of a Designated Company in the case of sick leave, military leave, or any other leave of absence approved by the Company; provided that such leave is for a period of not more than three (3) months or reemployment upon the expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or statute. The Company will have sole discretion to determine whether a Participant has terminated employment and the effective date on which the Participant terminated employment, regardless of any notice period or garden leave required under Applicable Laws.

(f)     Employment Transfers.    Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a Participant whose employment transfers or whose employment terminates with an immediate rehire (with no break in service) by or between the Company and a Designated Company or between Designated Companies will not be treated as having terminated employment for purposes of participating in the Plan or an Offering; however, if a Participant transfers from an Offering under the 423 Component to an Offering under the Non-423 Component, the exercise of the Participant’s Purchase Right will be qualified under the 423 Component only to the extent such exercise complies with Section 423 of the Code. If a Participant transfers from an Offering under the Non-423 Component to an Offering under the 423 Component, the exercise of the Purchase Right will remain non-qualified under the Non-423 Component. In the event that a Participant’s Purchase Right is terminated under the Plan, the Company will distribute as soon as practicable to such individual all of his or her accumulated but unused Contributions without interest (except as required by Applicable Law).

(g)     No Transfers of Purchase Rights.    During a Participant’s lifetime, Purchase Rights will be exercisable only by such Participant. Purchase Rights are not transferable by a Participant, except by will, by the laws of descent and distribution, or, if permitted by the Company, by a beneficiary designation as described in Section 10.

(h)     No Interest.    Unless otherwise specified in the Offering or required by Applicable Law, the Company will have no obligation to pay interest on Contributions.

8.     Exercise of Purchase Rights.

(a)     On each Purchase Date, each Participant’s accumulated Contributions will be applied to the purchase of shares of Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share), up to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock permitted by the Plan and the applicable Offering, at the purchase price specified in the Offering. No fractional shares will be issued unless specifically provided for in the Offering.

(b)     Unless otherwise provided in the Offering, if any amount of accumulated Contributions remains in a Participant’s account after the purchase of shares of Common Stock on the final Purchase Date in an Offering, then such remaining amount will roll over to the next Offering.

(c)     No Purchase Rights may be exercised to any extent unless the shares of Common Stock to be issued on such exercise under the Plan are covered by an effective registration statement pursuant to the Securities

Annex F-5

Act and the Plan is in material compliance with all Applicable Laws. If on a Purchase Date the shares of Common Stock are not so registered or the Plan is not in such compliance, no Purchase Rights will be exercised on such Purchase Date, and the Purchase Date will be delayed until the shares of Common Stock are subject to such an effective registration statement and the Plan is in material compliance, except that the Purchase Date will in no event be more than three (3) months from the original Purchase Date and in no event will the Purchase Date be after such date that would exceed the amount of time permitted by Section 423 of the Code. If, on the Purchase Date, as delayed to the maximum extent permissible, the shares of Common Stock are not registered and the Plan is not in material compliance with all Applicable Laws, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, no Purchase Rights will be exercised and all accumulated but unused Contributions will be distributed as soon as practicable to the Participants without interest (except as required by Applicable Law).

9.     Covenants of the Company.    The Company will seek to obtain from each U.S. federal or state, non-U.S. or other regulatory commission or agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required to issue and sell shares of Common Stock under any applicable Offering unless the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that doing so would cause the Company to incur costs that are unreasonable. If, after commercially reasonable efforts, the Company is unable to obtain the authority that counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of Common Stock pursuant to any Offering under the Plan, and at a commercially reasonable cost, the Company will be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell Common Stock pursuant to any such Offering.

10.     Designation of Beneficiary.

(a)     The Company may, but is not obligated to, permit a Participant to submit a form designating a beneficiary who will receive any shares of Common Stock or Contributions from the Participant’s account under the Plan if the Participant dies before such shares or Contributions are delivered to the Participant. The Company may, but is not obligated to, permit the Participant to change such designation of beneficiary. Any such designation or change must be on a form approved by the Company or as approved by the Company for use by a Company Designee.

(b)     If a Participant dies, in the absence of a valid beneficiary designation, the Company will deliver any shares of Common Stock and Contributions (without interest, except as required by Applicable Law) to the executor or administrator of the estate of the Participant. If no executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its sole discretion, may deliver such shares of Common Stock and Contributions (without interest, except as required by Applicable Law) to the Participant’s spouse, dependents or relatives, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate.

11.     Capitalization Adjustments; Dissolution or Liquidation; Corporate Transactions.

(a)     Capitalization Adjustment.    In the event of a Capitalization Adjustment, the Board will appropriately and proportionately adjust: (i) the class(es) and maximum number of securities subject to the Plan pursuant to Section 3(a), (ii) the class(es) and number of securities subject to, and the purchase price applicable to, outstanding Offerings and Purchase Rights, and (iii) the class(es) and number of securities that are the subject of the purchase limits under each ongoing Offering. The Board will make these adjustments, and its determination will be final, binding, and conclusive.

(b)     Dissolution or Liquidation.    In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Board will shorten any Offering then in progress by setting a New Purchase Date prior to the consummation of such proposed dissolution or liquidation. The Board will notify each Participant in writing, prior to the New Purchase Date that the Purchase Date for the Participant’s Purchase Rights has been changed to the New Purchase Date and that such Purchase Rights will be automatically exercised on the New Purchase Date, unless prior to such date the Participant has withdrawn from the Offering as provided in Section 7.

(c)     Corporate Transaction.    In the event of a Corporate Transaction, then: (i) any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation (or the surviving or acquiring corporation’s parent company) may assume or continue outstanding Purchase Rights or may substitute similar rights (including a right to acquire the same consideration paid to the stockholders in the Corporate Transaction) for outstanding Purchase Rights, or (ii) if any surviving or acquiring corporation (or its parent company) does not assume or continue such Purchase Rights or

Annex F-6

does not substitute similar rights for such Purchase Rights, then the Participants’ accumulated Contributions will be used to purchase shares of Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) prior to the Corporate Transaction under the outstanding Purchase Rights (with such actual date to be determined by the Board in its sole discretion), and the Purchase Rights will terminate immediately after such purchase. The Board will notify each Participant in writing, prior to the New Purchase Date that the Purchase Date for the Participant’s Purchase Rights has been changed to the New Purchase Date and that such Purchase Rights will be automatically exercised on the New Purchase Date, unless prior to such date the Participant has withdrawn from the Offering as provided in Section 7.

(d)     Spin-Off.    In the event of a spin-off or similar transaction involving the Company, the Board may take actions deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with an ongoing Offering and subject to compliance with Applicable Laws (including the assumption of Purchase Rights under an ongoing Offering by the spun-off company, or shortening an Offering and scheduling a new Purchase Date prior to the closing of such transaction). In the absence of any such action by the Board, a Participant in an ongoing Offering whose employer ceases to qualify as a Related Corporation as of the closing of a spin-off or similar transaction will be treated in the same manner as if the Participant had terminated employment (as provided in Section 7(d)).

12.     Amendment, Termination or Suspension of the Plan.

(a)     Plan Amendment.    The Board may amend the Plan at any time in any respect the Board deems necessary or advisable. However, except as provided in Section 11(a) relating to Capitalization Adjustments, stockholder approval will be required for any amendment of the Plan for which stockholder approval is required by Applicable Laws, including but not limited to any amendment that either (i) increases the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan, (ii) expands the class of individuals eligible to become Participants and receive Purchase Rights, (iii) materially increases the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan or reduces the price at which shares of Common Stock may be purchased under the Plan, (iv) extends the term of the Plan, or (v) expands the types of awards available for issuance under the Plan, but in each of (i) through (v) above only to the extent stockholder approval is required by Applicable Laws.

(b)     Suspension or Termination.    The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. No Purchase Rights may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated.

(c)     No Impairment of Rights.    Any benefits, privileges, entitlements, and obligations under any outstanding Purchase Rights granted before an amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan will not be materially impaired by any such amendment, suspension, or termination except (i) with the consent of the person to whom such Purchase Rights were granted, (ii) as necessary to comply with any laws, listing requirements, or governmental regulations (including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 423 of the Code and the regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder relating to Employee Stock Purchase Plans) including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued or amended after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board, or (iii) as necessary to obtain or maintain any special tax, listing, or regulatory treatment. To be clear, the Board may amend outstanding Purchase Rights without a Participant’s consent if such amendment is necessary to ensure that the Purchase Right or the 423 Component complies with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code.

(d)     Corrections and Administrative Procedures.    Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Board will be entitled to: (i) permit Contributions in excess of the amount designated by a Participant in order to adjust for mistakes in the Company’s processing of properly completed Contribution elections; (ii) establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Common Stock for each Participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from the Participant’s Contributions; (iii) amend any outstanding Purchase Rights or clarify any ambiguities regarding the terms of any Offering to enable the Purchase Rights to qualify under and/or comply with Section 423 of the Code; and (iv) establish other limitations or procedures as the Board determines in its sole discretion advisable that are consistent with the Plan. The actions of the Board pursuant to this paragraph will not be considered to alter or impair any Purchase Rights granted under an Offering as they are part of the initial terms of each Offering and the Purchase Rights granted under each Offering.

Annex F-7

13.     Tax Matters.

(a)     Section 409A of the Code.    Purchase Rights granted under the 423 Component are intended to be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code under U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A1(b)(5)(ii). Purchase Rights granted under the Non-423 Component to U.S. taxpayers are intended to be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code under the short-term deferral exception and any ambiguities will be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. Subject to Section 13(b) below, Purchase Rights granted to U.S. taxpayers under the Non-423 Component will be subject to such terms and conditions that will permit such Purchase Rights to satisfy the requirements of the short-term deferral exception available under Section 409A of the Code, including the requirement that the shares subject to a Purchase Right be delivered within the short-term deferral period. Subject to Section 13(b) below, in the case of a Participant who would otherwise be subject to Section 409A of the Code, to the extent the Board determines that a Purchase Right or the exercise, payment, settlement, or deferral thereof is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Purchase Right will be granted, exercised, paid, settled, or deferred in a manner that will comply with Section 409A of the Code, including U.S. Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including, without limitation, any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the adoption of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will have no liability to a Participant or any other party if the Purchase Right that is intended to be exempt from or compliant with Section 409A of the Code is not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Board with respect thereto.

(b)     No Guarantee of Tax Treatment.    Although the Company may endeavor to (i) qualify a Purchase Right for special tax treatment under the laws of the United States or jurisdictions outside of the United States, or (ii) avoid adverse tax treatment (e.g., under Section 409A of the Code), the Company makes no representation to that effect and expressly disavows any covenant to maintain special or to avoid unfavorable tax treatment, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, including Section 13(a) above. The Company will be unconstrained in its corporate activities without regard to the potential negative tax impact on Participants under the Plan.

14.     Tax Withholding.    The Participant will make adequate provision to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations of, and/or contributions required to be remitted by, the Company and/or the applicable Designated Company related to Participant’s Tax-Related Items which arise with respect to Participant’s participation in the Plan or upon the disposition of the shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Plan. The Company and/or the Designated Company may, but will not be obligated to, (i) withhold from the Participant’s compensation or any other payments due to the Participant the amount necessary to meet such withholding obligations and/or required contributions, (ii) withhold a sufficient whole number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of a Purchase Right having an aggregate value sufficient to satisfy such withholding obligations and/or required contributions, (iii) withhold from the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock, either through a voluntary sale or a mandatory sale arranged by the Company, the amount necessary to meet any such withholding obligations and/or required contributions, or (iv) employ any other method that the Company and/or the Designated Company deems appropriate to satisfy any such withholding obligations and/or required contributions. The Company and/or the Designated Company will have the right to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company or a Designated Company to satisfy any such withholding obligations and/or required contributions, or reporting obligations related to such Tax-Related Items. The Company shall not be required to issue any shares of Common Stock under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied.

15.     Effective Date of Plan.    The Plan will become effective on the Effective Date. No Purchase Rights will be exercised unless and until the Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company, which approval must be within twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan is adopted (or, if required under Section 12(a) above, amended) by the Board.

16.     Miscellaneous Provisions.

(a)     Proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to Purchase Rights will constitute general funds of the Company.

(b)     A Participant will not be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, shares of Common Stock subject to Purchase Rights unless and until the Participant’s shares of Common Stock acquired on exercise of Purchase Rights are recorded in the books of the Company (or its transfer agent).

Annex F-8

(c)     The Plan and any Offering do not constitute an employment or service contract. Nothing in the Plan or in any Offering will in any way alter the at-will nature of a Participant’s employment, if applicable, or be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on the part of any Participant to continue his or her employment or service relationship with the Company, a Related Corporation, or an Affiliate, or on the part of the Company, a Related Corporation, or an Affiliate to continue the employment or service of a Participant.

(d)     The provisions of the Plan will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without resort to that state’s conflicts of laws rules. For purposes of litigating any dispute that may arise directly or indirectly from the Plan or any Offering, the parties hereby submit and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State of Delaware and agree that any such litigation shall be conducted only in the courts of Delaware or the federal courts of the United States located in Delaware and no other courts.

(e)     If any particular provision of the Plan is found to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable, such provision will not affect the other provisions of the Plan, but the Plan will be construed in all respects as if such invalid provision were omitted.

(f)     If any provision of the Plan does not comply with Applicable Laws, such provision will be construed in such a manner as to comply with Applicable Laws.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS

Item 20.     Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against willful default, willful neglect, civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. The Existing Organizational Documents provide for indemnification of our officers and directors against any liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages or expenses, including legal expenses, whatsoever which they or any of them may incur as a result of any act or failure to act in carrying out their functions other than such liability (if any) that they may incur by reason of their own actual fraud, willful neglect or willful default.

We have entered into agreements with our officers and directors to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in the Existing Organizational Documents. We have purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

UNDERTAKINGS

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)    To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i)     To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii)    To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii)   To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

(2)    That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)    To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4)    That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(5)    That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)     Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii)    Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii)   The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv)   Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

II-4

(6)    That, prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this Registration Statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the Registrant undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

(7)    That every prospectus: (i) that is filed pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(8)    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(9)    The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items4, 10(b),11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

(10)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
