On September 19, 2023, the board of directors (the “Board”) of ads-tec Energy PLC (the “Company”) was notified by Ms. Salina Love of her decision not to stand for re-election as a member of the Board at the Company’s 2023 annual general meeting (the “General Meeting”).

There are no arrangements or understandings between Dr. Harms and any other person pursuant to which Dr. Harms was appointed as a director of the Company. In addition, there is no family relationship between Dr. Harms and any director or executive officer of the Company. The Board deems Dr. Harms an “independent director” as defined by Nasdaq Rule 5605(a)(2).

On September 19, 2023 the Company held the General Meeting. Of the total of 48,975,825 of the Company’s ordinary shares, $0.0001 nominal value per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), issued, outstanding, and eligible to vote as of the record date of August 24, 2023, a quorum of 28,261,500 Ordinary Shares, or approximately 57.7%, voted at or were represented by proxy at the General Meeting.

The information furnished in this Report on Form 6-K is hereby incorporated by reference into the Company’s registration statements on Form F-3 (File No. 333-262281) and Form S-8 (File No. 333-263153).
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 6-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company’s actual results may differ from its expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believe,” “hope,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include the Company’s expectations with respect to future performance and involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside the Company’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include but are not limited to risks and uncertainties incorporated by reference under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Form 20-F (SEC File No. 001-41188) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 11, 2023 and in the Company’s other filings with the SEC. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
