Item 1.01.

Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

General

On November 13, 2022, TLG Acquisition One Corp. (“TLG”) and Eagle Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of TLG (“Merger Sub”), entered into a Merger Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Merger Agreement”) with Electriq Power, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Electriq”). If the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Transactions”) are completed, Merger Sub will merge with and into Electriq, with Electriq surviving such merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of TLG (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, and upon consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions (together with the Merger, the “Business Combination”), the separate corporate existence of Electriq will cease to exist and the holders of Electriq common stock, preferred stock, options, warrants and other convertible securities (collectively, the “Electriq equityholders”) will become equityholders of TLG, which will change its name to “Electriq Power Holdings, Inc.” in connection with the Business Combination. We refer to TLG after the consummation of the Business Combination as “New Electriq.” Capitalized terms used in this Current Report on Form 8-K but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Merger Agreement.

Merger Consideration

As part of the Merger, Electriq equityholders will receive aggregate merger consideration (the “Merger Consideration”) of $495 million, consisting of up to 49,500,000 shares of TLG’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Parent Class A Common Stock”), valued at $10.00 per share, and the right to elect to receive up to $25.0 million in cash with a corresponding reduction in the number of shares of TLG common stock. At the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), 2,000,000 shares of TLG common stock from the Merger Consideration (the “Merger Consideration Incentive Shares”) will be placed into an escrow account to be used as Merger Consideration Incentive Shares. As part of the Merger Consideration, holders of Electriq’s warrants and options not exercised prior to the Merger will receive replacement warrants and options, respectively, to purchase shares of Parent Class A Common Stock based on the value of the Merger Consideration per share of Electriq common stock.

Financings and Share Reserve

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, TLG has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to enter into subscription agreements, non-redemption agreements, backstop agreements or similar financing agreements (the “Financing Agreements”) with one or more persons which shall raise or backstop an amount at least $120.0 million (such transactions, the “Financings”), after deducting the amount of the Electriq Revolver (defined below) and the amount committed under the Lawrie Note (defined below). The Financing Agreements will be on terms reasonably acceptable to Electriq (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) solely if such terms include the issuance of additional equity interests of TLG or additional TLG indebtedness.

In connection with the Financings, 7,000,000 shares of Parent Class A Common Stock (the “Incentive Shares”) will be placed in escrow at Closing, consisting of 5,000,000 newly issued shares of Parent Class A Common Stock (the “New Incentive Shares”) and the 2,000,000 Merger Consideration Incentive Shares. The New Incentive Shares will be paid out as incentives in the Financings first, followed by the Merger Consideration Incentive Shares. At the termination of the escrow, any New Incentive Shares not paid out in the Financing will be transferred 50% to the Sponsor (defined in the Merger Agreement) and 50% to the Electriq equityholders, and any Merger Consideration Incentive Shares not paid out in the Financing will be returned to the Electriq equityholders.

Other Covenants

The Merger Agreement includes covenants of Electriq with respect to operation of its business prior to consummation of the Merger. The Merger Agreement also contains additional covenants of the parties, including, among others, a covenant to make any required filings pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (“HSR”), and the preparation and filing of a registration statement on Form S-4 relating to the Merger and containing a proxy statement of TLG (the “Registration Statement / Proxy Statement”).


The Merger Agreement also contains exclusivity provisions prohibiting Electriq and its subsidiaries from soliciting, initiating, knowingly facilitating, participating in, entering into, continuing discussions, negotiations or transactions with, or knowingly encouraging or responding to any inquiries or proposals by, or providing any information to any person relating to or that could reasonably be expect to lead to, or enter into or consummate any transaction relating to a Competing Company Transaction (as defined in the Merger Agreement), subject to limited exceptions specified therein.

Representations and Warranties

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties thereto with respect to the parties, the Business Combination contemplated by the Merger Agreement and their respective business operations and activities. The representations and warranties of the parties generally do not survive the Closing.

Conditions to Consummation of the Business Combination

Consummation of the Business Combination is generally subject to customary conditions, including (a) expiration or termination of all applicable waiting periods under HSR, (b) the absence of any law or governmental order prohibiting the consummation of the Merger, (c) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement, (d) the Parent Class A Common Stock to be issued in the Merger having been listed on The New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) upon the Closing, and otherwise satisfying the applicable listing requirements of NYSE, (e) receipt of stockholder approval from stockholders of each of TLG and Electriq for consummation of the Merger and other related necessary matters and (f) TLG having net tangible assets following the redemptions of at least $5,000,001.

Other conditions to the obligation of TLG to consummate the Business Combination include, among others, that no material adverse effect with respect to Electriq shall have occurred since the date of the Merger Agreement. Other conditions to the obligation of Electriq to consummate the Business Combination include, among others, TLG must have minimum available funds equal to or in excess of $125.0 million (after taking into account any transaction expenses, redemptions, taxes due and payable prior to Closing, and funds received in the Financings and the amount of the Electriq Revolver and the amount committed under the Lawrie Note).

Termination

The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances at any time prior to the Closing, including by mutual written consent or if the Business Combination have not been consummated on or prior to February 1, 2023 (subject to extensions until as late as June 1, 2023 to the extent TLG obtains an extension of its deadline to consummate a business combination transaction, as set forth in the Merger Agreement). TLG intends to seek an extension of the date by which it must consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”) as the board of directors of TLG currently believes that there will not be sufficient time before February 1, 2023 to complete a Business Combination. On November 3, 2022, TLG filed a preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for the purposes of seeking its stockholder approval to extend the Combination Period from February 1, 2023 to May 1, 2023 (the date that is 27 months from the closing date of TLG’s initial public offering (“IPO”)) (the “Amended Date”) and on a monthly basis up to three times from the Amended Date to August 1, 2023 (the date that is 30 months from the closing date of the IPO).

A copy of the Merger Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, reference to the actual agreement. The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Merger Agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were 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 such agreement. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement were made as of a specified date, are modified or qualified by information in one or more confidential disclosure letters prepared in connection with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what might be viewed as material to investors, or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk


between the parties. Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement are not necessarily characterizations of the actual state of facts about TLG, Electriq or the other parties at the time they were made or otherwise and should only be read in conjunction with the other information that TLG makes publicly available in reports, statements and other documents filed with the SEC.

Lock-up Agreements

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain security holders of Electriq (the “Electriq Holders”) entered into lock-up agreements (each, a “Lock-up Agreement”) with Electriq and TLG. Pursuant to the Lock-up Agreements, the Electriq Holders agreed, among other things, that their shares of Parent Class A Common Stock received as Merger Consideration may not be transferred until the earlier to occur of (i) six months following Closing and (ii) the date after the Closing on which New Electriq completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of New Electriq stockholders having the right to exchange their equity holdings in New Electriq for cash, securities or other property (the “Lock-up”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, after the Closing, (i) the volume weighted average price per share of Parent Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-day trading period, 10% of the Restricted Securities (as defined in the Lock-up Agreement) of each Electriq Holder is released from the Lock-up and (ii) the volume weighted average price per share of Parent Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-day trading period, an additional 10% of the Restricted Securities of each Electriq Holder will be released from the Lock-up.

A copy of the Lock-up Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Lock-up Agreements is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Lock-up Agreement filed herewith.

Sponsor Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, TLG entered into an agreement (the “Sponsor Agreement”) with Electriq, the Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor and TLG’s independent directors, whereby the Sponsor and holders of SPAC Founder Shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “SPAC Founder Shares”), have agreed to waive certain of their anti-dilution and conversion rights with respect to the SPAC Founder Shares. Pursuant to the Sponsor Agreement, the Sponsor has agreed that it will forfeit for no consideration 5,000,000 SPAC Founder Shares, which shares will be cancelled.

The Sponsor also agreed to subject its SPAC Founder Shares, and the other holders of SPAC Founder Shares agreed to subject their SPAC Founder Shares, to certain transfer restrictions as follows: (i) with respect to 500,000 SPAC Founder Shares, the Sponsor will not transfer such shares until the earliest to occur of (x) the fifth anniversary of the Closing, (y) such time as the closing volume weighted average price of a share of the Parent Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 for any 20 trading days within any 30-day trading period and (z) the date after the Closing on which New Electriq completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of New Electriq stockholders having the right to exchange their Parent Class A Common Stock for cash, securities or other property; (ii) with respect to an additional 500,000 SPAC Founder Shares, the Sponsor will not transfer such shares until the earliest to occur of (x) the fifth anniversary of the Closing, (y) such time as the closing volume weighted average price of a share of the Parent Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00 for any 20 trading days within any 30-day trading period or (z) the date after the Closing on which New Electriq completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of New Electriq stockholders having the right to exchange their Parent Class A Common Stock for cash, securities or other property; and (iii) with respect to all of the SPAC Founder Shares (including those covered in (i) and (ii)), the Sponsor and the other holders will not transfer such shares until the earliest to occur of (x) the six-month anniversary of the Closing or (y) the date after the Closing on which New Electriq completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of New Electriq stockholders having the right to exchange their Parent Class A Common Stock for cash, securities or other property; provided that (i) 10% of such SPAC Founder Shares will be released at such time as the closing volume weighted average price of a share of the


Parent Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 for any 20 trading days within any 30-day trading period and (ii) an additional 10% of such SPAC Founder Shares will be released at such time as the closing volume weighted average price of a share of the Parent Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00 for any 20 trading days within any 30-day trading period.

Support Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain stockholders of Electriq (each, a “Supporting Electriq Stockholder”), Electriq and TLG entered into a Support Agreement (the “Support Agreement”). Under the Support Agreement, each Supporting Electriq Stockholder agreed to, among other things, (i) vote at any meeting of the stockholders of Electriq or by written consent all of its Electriq common stock and/or Electriq preferred stock, as applicable, held of record or thereafter acquired in favor of the Merger and the Transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (ii) be bound by certain transfer restrictions with respect to Electriq securities, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Support Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Support Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of the Support Agreement filed herewith.

Stockholders’ Agreement

The Merger Agreement contemplates that, at the Closing, New Electriq, the Sponsor and certain former Electriq equityholders will enter into a stockholders’ agreement (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”), pursuant to which (i) the Sponsor will be entitled to nominate one (1) director until the date upon which the Sponsor’s and its affiliates’ aggregate initial ownership interest of the issued and outstanding common stock of New Electriq (“Sponsor Initial Ownership Interest”) decreases to one-half of Sponsor Initial Ownership Interest and (ii) Greensoil Building Innovation Fund Co-Investment I, L.P. (“Greensoil”) will be entitled to nominate one (1) director until the date upon which Greensoil’s and its affiliates’ aggregate initial ownership interest of the issued and outstanding common stock of New Electriq (“Greensoil Initial Ownership Interest”) decreases to one-half of the Greensoil Initial Ownership Interest. The Sponsor and Greensoil will also each be entitled to designate one non-voting board observer until the date upon which each of the Sponsor and Greensoil, respectively, holds less than 1% of the issued and outstanding common stock of New Electriq.

A copy of the Stockholders’ Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.4 and is incorporated herein by reference.

A copy of the form of the Registration Rights Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.5 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of the Registration Rights Agreement filed herewith.


Electriq Debt Financings

On September 21, 2022, Electriq signed a term sheet for a $21.5 million asset-backed revolving credit agreement with a private lender (“Electriq Revolver”). Electriq is negotiating definitive documentation of such agreement. While it is expected the definitive documentation to be executed before December 31, 2022, there can be no assurance that Electriq and the private lender will enter into such credit agreement.

On November 13, 2022, Electriq entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with John Michael Lawrie pursuant to which Mr. Lawrie agreed to purchase secured convertible promissory notes from Electriq (the “Lawrie Note”) in an amount of up to $8.5 million. Funding under the securities purchase agreement is subject to certain conditions, including (i) the documentation of the Electriq Revolver, (ii) the conversion of $5.0 million of Electriq stockholder debt into convertible debt being reasonably satisfactory to Mr. Lawrie and (iii) funding under the Electriq Revolver.

The Lawrie Note will bear interest at a simple rate of 14% per annum, payable quarterly in cash. The Lawrie Note is payable in full 24 months following the issuance of the Lawrie Note. The Lawrie Note will be senior to all current and future indebtedness of Electriq, except that it will be subordinated to the Electriq Revolver. If it is not converted in connection with the Business Combination, the Lawrie Note will be assumed by New Electriq in the Merger.

Mr. Lawrie will have the right but not the obligation to convert the outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest into equity of Electriq or its successor in the event of (i) a future issuance of equity securities for the purpose of raising capital of at least $20,000,000, (ii) an acquisition of Electriq or its successor, whether by asset purchase, merger or share purchase (an “Acquisition Transaction”), (iii) certain capital markets transactions, including an initial public offering, direct listing, or SPAC-related transaction (a “Capital Markets Transaction”); or (iv) upon maturity, if the Lawrie Note remains outstanding. Other than at maturity, the conversion price is 95% of the relevant consideration per share. With respect to conversion at maturity, the price per share is to be obtained by dividing $275,000,000 by the number of outstanding shares of common stock of Electriq. Mr. Lawrie will be entitled to demand prepayment in cash in connection with any Capital Markets Transaction. If Mr. Lawrie does not convert in connection with an Acquisition Transaction, Electriq is required to pay Mr. Lawrie two times the outstanding principal amount in cash. The Lawrie Note will have events of default that are customary for similar instruments.

A copy of the Securities Purchase Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.6 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Securities Purchase Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Securities Purchase Agreement filed herewith.
