Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

All of the securities reported herein as beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons were acquired in connection with the transactions associated with the Business Combination (as defined and described further below).

On September 9, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), Nauticus Robotics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly known as CleanTech Acquisition Corp.) (prior to the Closing Date, “CLAQ” and after the Closing Date, “Nauticus”), consummated the previously announced business combination (the “Closing”) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement” and together with the other agreements and transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between CLAQ and Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc. was effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc., with Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc. surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of CLAQ (the “Merger”). On September 9, 2022, as contemplated by the Merger Agreement and as described in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus filed by CLAQ with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 15, 2022 (as amended or supplemented, the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”), CLAQ was renamed “Nauticus Robotics, Inc.” and the previous Nauticus Robotics, Inc. was renamed “Nauticus Robotics Holdings Inc.” On the Closing Date, among other things, (a) each share of Nauticus Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing converted into shares of Nauticus Common stock, par value $0.01 per share, in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation of Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc. (“Nauticus Preferred Stock Conversion”); (b) that certain (i) Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note, dated June 19, 2021, by and between Goradia Capital, LLC and Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc., as amended on December 16, 2021, (ii) Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note, August 3, 2021, by and between Material Impact Fund II, L.P. and Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc., as amended on December 16, 2021, (iii) Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note, dated October 22, 2021, by and between In-Q-Tel, Inc. and Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc., as amended on December 16, 2021, (iv) Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note, dated July 28, 2020, by and between Schlumberger Technology Corporation and Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc., as amended on December 16, 2021, and (v) Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note, dated December 7, 2020, by and between Transocean Inc. and Nauticus Robotics Holdings, Inc., as amended on December 16, 2021 (each, a “Nauticus Convertible Note” and collectively, the “Nauticus Convertible Notes”) was converted into shares of Nauticus Common Stock in accordance with the terms of each such Nauticus Convertible Note; and (c) each share of Nauticus Common Stock (including shares of Nauticus Common Stock outstanding as a result of the Nauticus Preferred Stock Conversion and Nauticus Convertible Notes Conversion, but excluding shares of the holders who perfect rights of appraisal under Delaware law) was converted into the right to receive (i) shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock and (ii) Earnout Shares.

Following the closing of the Merger, former holders of shares of Nauticus Common Stock (including shares received as a result of the Nauticus Preferred Stock conversion and the Nauticus Convertible Notes conversion, the “Stockholder Earnout Group”) shall be entitled to receive their pro rata share of up to 7,499,993 additional shares of Nauticus Common Stock (the “Earnout Shares”). The Earnout Shares will be released and delivered to the Stockholder Earnout Group upon occurrence of the following (each, a “Triggering Event”):

 

i.

one-half of the Escrow Shares will be released if, within a 5-year period following the signing date of the Merger Agreement, the volume-weighted average price of Nauticus Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share over any 20 trading days within a 30-day trading period;

 

ii.

one-quarter of the Escrow Shares will be released if, within a 5-year period following the signing date of the Merger Agreement, the volume-weighted average price of Nauticus Common Stock equals or exceeds $17.50 per share over any 20 trading days within a 30-day trading period; and

 

iii.

one-quarter of the Escrow Shares will be released if, within a 5-year period following the signing date of the Merger Agreement, the volume-weighted average price of Nauticus Common Stock equals or exceeds $20.00 per share over any 20 trading days within a 30-day trading period.

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, CLAQ and Nauticus entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors purchasing up to an aggregate of $40.0 million in principal amount of secured debentures (the “Debentures”) and warrants. The number of shares of Common Stock into which the Debentures are convertible is equal to 120% of the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures divided by the conversion price of $15.00, and the number of shares of Common Stock into which the associated warrants are exercisable is equal to 120% of the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures divided by the conversion price, with an exercise price equal to $20, subject to adjustment (the “Debt Financing,” and together with the Equity Financing, the “PIPE Investment”). The exercise price of the associated warrant is subject to (i) customary anti-dilution adjustments; and (ii) in the case of a subsequent equity sale at a per share price below the

exercise price, the exercise price of the associated warrant will be adjusted to such lower price, and the number of shares underlying the warrant will increase proportionately. In the event of a rights offering or dividend, the warrant holder will be treated as though the shares underlying the warrant he/she holds were outstanding. These warrants can be exercised on a cashless basis. There will be an original issue discount of 2% from the issued amount of the Debentures. Interest will accrue on all outstanding principal amount of the Debentures at 5% per annum, payable quarterly. The Debentures will be secured by first priority interests, and liens on, all present and after-acquired assets of Nauticus, and will mature on the fourth anniversary of the date of issuance. On the Closing Date, ATW Special Situations I LLC (“ATW”), MIF II, and the 2022 SLS Family Irrevocable Trust, subscribed for Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $36,530,320 (out of the aggregate $40.0 million) which is convertible into 2,922,425 shares of Common Stock and associated warrants for an additional 2,922,425 shares of Common Stock.
