On November 11, 2022, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Fluence Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted and approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to permit holders of the Company’s Class B-1 common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Class B-1 Common Stock”), to convert shares of Class B-1 Common Stock into shares of Class B-2 common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of the Company (the “Class B-2 Common Stock,” and together with the Class B-1 Common Stock, the “Class B Common Stock”), at a one-to-one ratio at any time at the option of such holder (the “Amendment”) and directed that the Amendment be submitted to stockholders for approval. The Board set November 17, 2022 as the record date (“Record Date”) for purposes of stockholder action to approve the Amendment.

 

On the Record Date, the holder of (a) 71.8% of the voting power of the aggregate issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock and (b) 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock as of the record date executed an action by written consent in lieu of a meeting adopting and approving the Amendment in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

 

Pursuant to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), a Schedule 14C information statement (the “Information Statement”) will be filed with the SEC and sent or provided to the stockholders the Company as of the Record Date. The Amendment will become effective upon the filing of a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
