Item 8.01 Other Events.

On November 14, 2022, Climate Real Impact Solutions II Acquisition Corporation (“CLIM”) filed a definitive proxy statement relating to a special meeting of stockholders to approve (i) an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter Amendment Proposal”) and (ii), an amendment to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated January 26, 2021, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trust Amendment Proposal” and together with the Charter Amendment Proposal, the “Proposals”), which would, if implemented, allow the Company to redeem all of its outstanding shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Public Shares”) in advance of the Company’s contractual expiration date of January 29, 2023 by changing the date by which the Company must cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination (a “Business Combination”) from January 29, 2023 to the later of (x) December 8, 2022 or (y) the date of effectiveness of the second amended and restated charter (the “Amended Termination Date”).

If the Proposals are approved, and because the Company will not be able to complete an initial Business Combination by the Amended Termination Date, the Company will redeem all Public Shares as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days after the Amended Termination Date (the “Mandatory Redemption”). The Company expects to complete the Mandatory Redemption on or around December 9, 2022, if shareholders approve the Proposals. Additionally, the last day of trading of the Public Shares will be December 8, 2022, if shareholders approve the Proposals.

The virtual special meeting will be held on Thursday, December 8, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. New York City time, and the record date for the meeting was the close of business (New York City time) on November 7, 2022.
