158,433,112 shares of Common Stock
On June 21, 2024, Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”), entered into a credit and guaranty agreement (as amended by the First Omnibus Amendment to Credit Documents, dated as of November 26, 2024, and as further amended by the First Amendment to Credit and Guaranty Agreement dated as of April 30, 2025, the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and CCM Denali Debt Holdings, LP (“CCM Denali Debt”), as administrative agent and collateral agent, pursuant to which the lenders provided a $210.5 million secured multi-draw facility (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan”), and a $105 million revolving credit facility, to be made available at the lenders’ sole discretion, on terms and subject to conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement. On June 21, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement,” together with the Credit Agreement, the “Agreements”) with CCM Denali Equity Holdings, LP (“CCM Denali Equity” or the “Selling Securityholder”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, securities of the Company.
Pursuant to the Delayed Draw Term Loan, the lenders funded to the Company $75 million on June 21, 2024, $30 million on August 29, 2024, $65 million on October 31, 2024 and $40.5 million on January 24, 2025. In connection with each draw under the Delayed Draw Term Loan, the Company issued a Warrant (as defined below) and/or shares of preferred stock in amounts representing predetermined, fully diluted, percentages (an “Applicable Percentage”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). In connection with such draws: (i) on June 21, 2024, the lenders were issued a warrant to purchase 43,276,194 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (the “Warrant”) and shares of Series A-1 Non-Voting Non-Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”), that converted into 31.940063 shares of non-voting Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Series B-1 Preferred Stock”), which shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock are convertible into an aggregate of 31,940,063 shares of Common Stock, (ii) on August 29, 2024, the lenders were issued shares of Series A-2 Non-Voting Non-Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A-2 Preferred Stock”), that converted into 28.806463 shares of non-voting Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Series B-2 Preferred Stock”), which shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock are convertible into an aggregate of 28,806,463 shares of Common Stock, (iii) on October 31, 2024, the lenders were issued 38.259864 shares of non-voting Series B-3 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Series B-3 Preferred Stock”), which shares of Series B-3 Preferred Stock are convertible into an aggregate of 38,259,864 shares of Common Stock, and (iv) on January 24, 2025, the lenders were issued 16.150528 shares of non-voting Series B-4 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series B-4 Preferred Stock” and, together with the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, the Series B-2 Preferred Stock and the Series B-3 Preferred Stock, the “Series B Preferred Stock”), which shares of Series B-4 Preferred Stock are convertible into an aggregate of 16,150,528 shares of Common Stock. This prospectus relates to the offer and sale by the Selling Securityholder of an aggregate of 158,433,112 shares of Common Stock underlying the Series B Preferred Stock and issuable upon exercise of the Warrant issued in connection with the Purchase Agreement.
If the Company fails to achieve Sales Milestone 4 (as defined in the Credit Agreement) on July 31, 2025, the Applicable Percentage will be subject to up to a 1.0% increase for the missed milestone or an increase in the overall Applicable Percentage of up to 34.0%, which would result in the issuance of additional warrants or preferred stock to CCM Denali Equity.
The Selling Securityholder may sell the shares of Common Stock, obtained from the exercise of the Warrant and/or the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, in a number of different ways and at varying prices from time to time in accordance with the provisions set forth under the section titled “Plan of Distribution.” The shares of Common Stock, obtained from the exercise of the Warrant and/or the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, may be sold directly to you, through agents, or through underwriters and dealers. The Selling Securityholder may sell the shares of Common Stock, obtained from the exercise of the Warrant and / or the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, at prevailing market prices or at prices negotiated with buyers. The Selling Securityholder will be responsible for any commissions due to brokers, dealers or agents. We will be responsible for all other offering expenses. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the Selling Securityholder of the shares of Common Stock offered by this prospectus, except with respect to amounts received by us upon the exercise of the Warrant for cash.
Our Common Stock and our public warrants are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “EOSE” and “EOSEW,” respectively. The closing price of our Common Stock on May 6, 2025 was $5.04 per share. The closing price of our public warrants on May 6, 2025 was $0.43 per warrant.

This summary highlights selected information and does not contain all of the information that is important to you.

Before making your investment decision with respect to our securities, you should carefully read this entire prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement and the documents referred to in “Where You Can Find More Information.”
Overview
We are an American energy company and America’s leading innovator in designing, manufacturing, and providing zinc-based battery energy storage systems (“BESS”), sourced, and manufactured in the United States. Our BESS are safe, non-flammable, secure, and sustainable alternatives to lithium-ion batteries, making them ideal for utility-scale, microgrid, and commercial and industrial long-duration applications.
We design, develop, manufacture, and market innovative zinc-based energy storage solutions for utility-scale, microgrid, and commercial & industrial (“C&I”) applications. We believe that our batteries have the potential to emerge as a leading alternative to Lithium-ion batteries for such long-duration applications. We have developed a broad range of intellectual property with multiple patents covering unique battery chemistry, mechanical product design, energy block configuration and a software operating system (Battery Management System or “BMS”). The BMS software uses proprietary Eos-developed algorithms and includes ambient and battery temperature sensors, as well as voltage and electric current sensors for the electrical strings and the system. We currently focus on manufacturing and selling turn-key direct current (“DC”) battery energy storage systems. We plan to develop a turn-key alternating current system. Our primary applications focus on integrating battery storage solutions with: (1) renewable energy systems that are connected to the utility power grid; (2) renewable energy systems that are not connected to the utility power grid; (3) storage systems utilized to relieve congestion; and (4) storage systems to assist C&I customers in reducing their peak energy usage or participating in the utilities ancillary and demand response markets. We have a manufacturing facility in Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania to produce DC energy blocks with an integrated BMS. Our primary market is North America. The Company has one operating and reportable segment.
We offer an innovative Znyth™ technology BESS designed to provide the operating flexibility to manage increased grid complexity and price volatility resulting from an overall increase in renewable energy generation and a congested grid coming from an increase in electricity demand growth. Our BESS is a validated chemistry with accessible non-precious earth components in a durable design that is intended to deliver results in extreme temperatures and conditions. The system is designed to be safe, flexible, scalable, sustainable and manufactured in the United States using raw materials primarily sourced in the United States. We believe the Company’s Z3™ battery module is the core of its innovative systems. The Z3 battery module is the only U.S. designed and manufactured battery module that today provides utilities, independent power producers, renewables developers and C&I customers with an alternative to lithium-ion and lead-acid monopolar batteries for critical 3- to 12-hour or longer discharge duration applications. We believe the Z3 battery is transforming how utility, industrial and commercial customers store power.
In addition to its BESS, we currently offer: (a) a BMS which provides a remote asset monitoring capability and service to track the performance and health of our BESS and to proactively identify future system performance issues through predictive analytics; (b) project management services to ensure the process of implementing our BESS are coordinated in conjunction with the customer’s overall project plans; (c) commissioning services that ensure the customer’s installation of the BESS meets the performance expected by the customer; and (d) long-term maintenance plans to maintain optimal operating performance of our systems.

Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on matters to be voted on by stockholders.

Our Board may, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the Common Stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of our Board to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of the Company or the removal of existing management.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
The certificate of incorporation, bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL, contain provisions that could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, or preventing an acquisition deemed undesirable by our Board. These provisions could also make it difficult for stockholders to take certain actions, including electing directors who are not nominated by the members of our Board or taking other corporate actions, including effecting changes in our management. For instance, our Board will be empowered to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the Board or the resignation, death, or removal of a director in certain circumstances; and our advance notice provisions in our bylaws will require that stockholders must comply with certain procedures in order to nominate candidates to our Board or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting.
Our authorized but unissued Common Stock and preferred stock will be available for future issuances without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved Common Stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
The Company, in its certificate of incorporation, has expressly elected not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL, and thus the restrictions on business combinations contained in Section 203 of the DGCL do not apply to the Corporation.
Classified Board of Directors
Our Board is divided into three classes, each of which will generally serve for a term of three years with only one class of directors being elected in each year. This system of electing directors may tend to discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, because it generally makes it more difficult for stockholders to replace a majority of the directors.
Directors’ Liability; Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our certificate of incorporation limits the liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL and provides that we will provide them with customary indemnification. We entered into customary indemnification agreements with each of our executive officers and directors that provide them, in general, with customary indemnification in connection with their service to us or on our behalf.
Securities Exchange
Our Common Stock and public warrants are listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “EOSE” and “EOSEW,” respectively.

If so, the third party may use shares of Common Stock pledged by the Selling Securityholder or borrowed from the Selling Securityholder or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use shares of Common Stock received from the Selling Securityholder in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock.

Any commissions, and any profit on the resale of shares of Common Stock, received by the Selling Securityholder and any such broker-dealers, agents or underwriters may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions.

The DGCL provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Our bylaws provide for indemnification by the registrant of its directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. The registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its current directors and executive officers to provide these directors and executive officers additional contractual assurances regarding the scope of the indemnification set forth in the registrant’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws and to provide additional procedural protections. There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director or executive officer of the registrant for which indemnification is sought.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock purchases, redemptions or other distributions, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Our certificate of incorporation provides for such limitation of liability.
We maintain standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (a) to its directors and officers against loss rising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, and (b) to us with respect to payments which may be made by the registrant to such officers and directors pursuant to the above indemnification provision or otherwise as a matter of law.

Item 17. Undertakings
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made of securities registered hereby, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) | To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; |
(ii) | To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the 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 the 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 Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent 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; provided, however, that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement. |
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, 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.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i) | If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B (§ 230.430B of this chapter): |
(A) | Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and |
(B) | Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which the prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. 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 effective date, 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 effective date. |
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement 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.
(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant 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 registrants will, unless in the opinion of their 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
