PART I
ITEM. 1 BUSINESS
General
Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: EOSE) (“Eos”, “we,” “us,” “our,” or “Company”) is 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. The Eos 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.
Eos, a Delaware corporation, was originally incorporated in Delaware on June 3, 2019, as a special purpose acquisition company under the name B. Riley Principal Merger Corp. II., in order to acquire a company or companies, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination. Upon the completion of a business combination on November 16, 2020 (the "Merger"), the Company changed its name to “Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc.” The Company’s common shares started trading under the ticker NASDAQ: EOSE on November 16, 2020.
On April 8, 2021, the Company entered into a unit purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Holtec Power, Inc. (“Holtec”), in accordance with the terms and conditions of which the Company purchased from Holtec the remaining 51% interest in HI-POWER, LLC (“Hi-Power”) that was not already owned by the Company. Hi-Power was incorporated as a joint venture between the Company and Holtec in 2019. In connection with the transaction, the Company also entered into a transition services agreement and a sublease with Holtec. The transaction closed on April 9, 2021. Following the consummation of the transactions set forth in the Purchase Agreement (the “Transactions”), Hi-Power became a 100% indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the obligations of the parties under the Hi-Power joint venture terminated.
The Company designs, develops, manufactures, and markets 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 (“Li-ion”) batteries for such long-duration applications. The Company has 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. The Company currently focuses on manufacturing and selling turn-key direct current ("DC") battery energy storage systems. The Company plans to develop a turn-key alternating current ("AC") system. The Company’s 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. The Company has a manufacturing facility in Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania to produce DC energy blocks with an integrated BMS. The Company’s primary market is North America. The Company has one operating and reportable segment.

Principal Products and Services
The Company offers an innovative Znyth™ technology battery energy storage system ("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. The Company’s 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, the Company currently offers: (a) a BMS which provides a remote asset monitoring capability and service to track the performance and health of the Company’s BESS and to proactively identify future system performance issues through predictive analytics; (b) project management services to ensure the process of implementing the Company’s 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 the Company’s systems.
Availability of Raw Materials
The Company procures materials from various third parties and across commodities, including chemicals and substrates, fabricated metal products, plastics, electronics and electrical components. We use both domestic and international raw materials suppliers to create our current Z3™ battery module. We will continue to focus on domesticating our supply chain in an economically sustainable manner.
While we believe we have sufficient sources for the materials, components, services and supplies used in our manufacturing activities, we are highly dependent on the availability of essential materials, parts and subassemblies from our suppliers. The predominant raw materials that are required for our Z3™ battery product are zinc halide salts, felt, resin, titanium and conductive polymer.
The Company effectively manages its supply chain through close relationships with key suppliers. We engage in formal agreements with our strategic supplier partners and continually look to implement strategies and opportunities to ensure a resilient supply network.
Additionally, based on the latest Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") guidance, the Company believes that our current Z3™ battery module feature raw materials sourcing sufficient to qualify for the Domestic Content Bonus awarded by the Inflation Reduction Act’s ("IRA") tax credits.
Industry Overview
We believe the energy storage industry has evolved into a critical sector and increased global demand for global sustainable energy systems. The Company's development of clean energy complements fossil fuels in meeting the world’s growing demands for electricity. The world moves towards decarbonization and the increased use of renewable energy sources like solar and wind, energy storage plays a pivotal role in stabilizing grids, ensuring reliable power supply and maximizing the utility of intermittent power generation.
The global energy storage market is experiencing robust growth, driven by the rising need for grid reliability, increased renewable energy integration and advancements in energy storage technologies. We believe the market size is expected to expand significantly in the next decade. Key drivers of industry growth are renewable energy integration, grid modernization, cost reductions and energy security.
4
Certain countries' government policies, subsidies, and incentives play a role in accelerating the development and deployment of energy storage technologies. In the United States, the Department of Energy (“DOE”) has historically supported energy storage research and development, and some states have even adopted energy storage mandates.
Energy storage is a rapidly evolving industry that we believe is integral to the future of global energy systems. The Eos Z3 BESS provides a viable use case for standalone storage as an alternative to the bottleneck for the energy storage grid as the world continues to use fossil fuels for energy and electricity. Additionally, we believe our BESS' technology, safety and wide operating range makes us a "workhorse" asset for the energy grid.
Strategy
The Company continues to invest in the design, development, and production of its next-generation product, the Eos Z3 battery. This new battery builds upon the same electrochemistry that has remained largely unchanged for nearly a decade. The Eos Z3 is engineered to reduce costs and weight while enhancing manufacturability and overall system performance. Compared to the previous Gen 2.3, the Z3 features a more cost-effective design with a simplified tub structure, 50% fewer cells, and 98% fewer welds per battery module. We believe that the Eos Z3 will offer customers twice the energy density per square foot, while maintaining the same level of safety and reliability as the previous generation.
The transition to the Eos Z3 is progressing as planned, with the first fully-automated battery manufacturing line now installed and in commercial production. The Z3 uses the same chemistry, known for its ability to endure over 3 million cycles, but introduces a new mechanical design aimed at improving performance, reducing costs, and enhancing manufacturability. The Company began delivering Z3 battery modules in Q3 2023. The Z3 incorporates valuable lessons learned from the past fifteen years, which the Company expects will drive efficiencies as it scales its state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities.
The Company believes that the simplicity, flexibility, and safety of its products are key attributes desired by the market. Moreover, the Company recognizes the competitive advantage offered by the Inflation Reduction Act, which provides production tax credits (PTC) for domestically manufactured battery components, as well as tax credits for customers involved in projects meeting domestic content requirements (see the Regulations section in Item 1 - Business). The Company also plans to collaborate with a consortium of community leaders, universities, and supply chain partners to pursue funding opportunities under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law of 2021.
Market Trends and Opportunities
The Company believes there is a global push to generate energy through sustainable, renewable sources. However, this shift creates imbalances in existing energy grids that must be addressed. Managing these imbalances will require a variety of energy storage technologies to provide safe, reliable power. Until now, most energy storage systems have been short-duration, typically providing power for less than four hours. The Company anticipates that the future will demand mid-duration (6-12 hour) BESS that offer the flexibility to address intermittency and congestion challenges.
The Z3 battery is primarily composed of five earth-abundant, readily available raw materials with established supply chains, which enables the Company to drive costs down as production scales up. While lithium-ion batteries currently dominate stationary energy storage, driven in large part by the electric vehicle (EV) market, the Company sees an emerging challenge in the lithium supply chain.
There is growing industry-wide concern regarding the safety risks associated with lithium-ion batteries, including incidents of thermal runaway, fires, and explosions. Lithium-ion batteries are vulnerable to internal short circuits and thermal instability due to the flammable nature of their electrolytes, which can lead to significant safety incidents and have prompted intensified regulatory scrutiny. In contrast, our battery technology is designed without these characteristics, offering a significantly enhanced safety profile and reinforcing our commitment to reliable and secure energy storage solutions.

Intellectual Property
The success of our business depends, in part, on our ability to maintain and protect our proprietary technology, information, processes and know-how. We rely primarily on patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws in the United States and similar laws in other countries, confidentiality agreements and procedures and other contractual arrangements. These patents are subject to regulatory approval by the respective governing entity where the patent was filed. A majority of our patents relate to cell chemistry, architecture and battery mechanical design, system packaging and BMS. We continually assess opportunities to seek patent protection for those aspects of our technology, design, methodologies and processes that we believe provide significant competitive advantages.
The Company periodically assesses its patent portfolio in relation to the patents’ utility and materiality to the current operation and future strategy of the business and abandons applications or ceases to maintain patents which are deemed immaterial to our current or future business operations. As of December 31, 2024, we have 26 patent families and 160 patents pending, issued, or published in 29 countries, protecting our technology and system architecture. The Company's key patents, related to its most recent generation product and future products, are not scheduled to expire until 2035 or later.
In addition, the Company relies on trade secret protection and confidentiality agreements to safeguard our interests with respect to proprietary know-how that is not patentable and processes for which patents are difficult to enforce. We believe that many key elements of our manufacturing processes involve proprietary know-how, technology or data that are not covered by patents or patent applications, including technical processes, test equipment designs, algorithms and procedures. All of our research and development personnel have entered into confidentiality and proprietary information agreements with us. These agreements address intellectual property protection issues and requires our employees to assign to us all of the inventions, designs and technologies that Company personnel develop during the course of their employment. We also require our customers and business partners to enter into confidentiality agreements before we disclose any sensitive aspects of our technology or business plans.
Regulations
Governmental Programs and Incentives
Globally, both the operations of our business by us and the ownership of our products by our customers are impacted by various government programs, incentives and other arrangements.
DOE Loan Facility
On November 26, 2024, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement with the United States Federal Financing Bank ("FFB") and the United States DOE Loan Programs Office (“LPO”) ("DOE Loan Facility") pursuant to which, among other things, the DOE provided a guarantee of the Company’s (x) obligations to repay the term loan borrowings provided by the FFB to the Company and evidenced by a future advance promissory note (the “FFB Promissory Note”) and (y) the Company’s other obligations owing to FFB in respect of such guaranteed loan, and in connection and concurrently therewith, the Company entered into a Loan Guarantee Agreement with the DOE (collectively, such agreements provide for a multi draw term loan facility, the DOE Loan Facility), marking the first Title XVII battery loan closed. The DOE Loan Facility is a key step in advancing the Company's Project American Made Zinc Energy ("AMAZE") and is expected to fund the expansion of Eos’ manufacturing capacity to 8 GWh by 2027 to meet the growing demand for longer duration battery energy storage systems. The DOE Loan Facility provides for up to $303.5 million in funding, including capitalized interest.
The DOE Loan Facility provides for a multi draw term loan facility under a series of at least two and, if the Company elects, up to four tranches of the loan (each, a “Tranche”), subject to the achievement of certain funding conditions, with each Tranche corresponding to the production, maintenance and development, and operation of a given production line to be funded using the proceeds of such Tranche and the principal amount of each Tranche consisting of a maximum principal amount designated for such Tranche in the DOE Loan Facility. Each Tranche provides the Company funding for 80% of the Eligible Project Costs (as defined in the DOE Loan Facility) associated with the corresponding production line, with the Company responsible for funding the remaining 20% of the Eligible Project Costs.
6
Through December 31, 2024, the Company has received funding under the DOE Loan Facility for an aggregate amount of $68.3 million, at an interest rate of 4.791% for eligible project costs incurred through December 6, 2024. These costs are a portion of Tranche 1 of the DOE Loan Facility. Tranche 1 provides up to $102.0 million for eligible costs in connection with the design, construction, installation, startup and shakedown of a battery automation line and related tools, with a projected annual production capacity of approximately 1.25 GWh ("Line 1").
For further discussion, see Note 13, Borrowings, to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022
On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 into law. The IRA has significant economic incentives for both energy storage customers and manufacturers for projects placed in service after December 31, 2022. One of the most important features of the IRA is that it offers a 10-year term tax credit, whereas historically similar industrial credits have been shorter in duration. Customers placing new energy storage facilities in service, which include our Gen 2.3 and Z3™ BESS, could qualify for investment tax credit (“ITC”). The IRA also offers an extra ten percent credit if the project is in an “energy community” and another ten percent credit if the project satisfies domestic content requirements, which have been set forth. The ten percent bonus for domestic content could represent a strategic advantage for the Company resulting from the Company’s near-sourcing and Made in America strategy, and we currently anticipate that projects utilizing Eos batteries will qualify for the bonus.
The Production Tax Credits under Internal Revenue Code 45X (“PTC”), can be claimed on battery components manufactured in the U.S. and sold to U.S. or foreign customers. These tax credits available to manufacturers include a credit for ten percent of the cost incurred to make electrode active materials in addition to credits of $35 per kWh of capacity of battery cells and $10 per kWh of capacity of battery modules. These credits are cumulative, meaning that companies will be able to claim each of the available tax credits based on the battery components produced and sold through 2029, after which the PTC will begin to gradually phase down through 2032. In April 2024, the IRS issued final regulations related to applicable tax credit transferability and direct pay provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act. The Company has reviewed these regulations and believes they do not have a material impact on the financial statements.
Competition
The markets for our products are competitive, and we compete with manufacturers of traditional Li-ion and other battery storage systems. Factors affecting customers when choosing from different battery storage systems in the market include:
•product performance and features;
•safety and sustainability;
•total lifetime cost of ownership;
•total operational costs related to auxiliary equipment;
•total product lifespan and degradation rate;
•power and energy efficiency;
•duration of the battery's storage;

•U.S.-based manufacturing and sourced materials.
7
Our Znyth™ battery system competes with products from traditional Li-ion battery manufacturers and solution providers such as Panasonic, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd, LG Chem, Ltd., Tesla, BYD, Sungrow, and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited. Our longer duration competitors include ESS Inc., Enervenue, Ambri, Form Energy, and Lockheed Martin. We believe that our current and next generation battery system offers significant technology, safety and cost advantages that reflect a competitive differentiation over Li-ion storage technologies.
Competitive Strengths
We believe the following strengths of our business distinguish us from our competitors and position us to capitalize on the expected continued growth in the energy storage market:
•Differentiated Product- Lithium cells must be kept within a narrow temperature range (25 °C +/- 5 °C), otherwise they are at risk of thermal runaway, potentially leading to fire or explosion. The Znyth™ BESS has a significantly wider thermal operating range (-20°C to 50°C), which eliminates the need for costly thermal management measures such as HVAC and fire suppression systems. Additionally, the product is a static modular battery design, which eliminates the need for pumps or compressors, both maintenance prone equipment required for flow batteries. Our battery system can charge and discharge at different durations, covering a wide range of use cases. The charge and discharge rates are fixed for Li-ion, and the life of a Li-ion battery can degrade if it is not charged or discharged at the rate for which it was designed, while the Eos Znyth technology BESS is not subject to the same degradation. This is because Eos batteries are manufactured at zero voltage and a zero percent state of charge, whereas Li-ion batteries must be kept at a specific voltage and state of charge even when not actively being used.
•Minimal Supply Chain Constraints- All materials for producing our Z3™ battery products are widely available commodities with fewer supply chain constraints and minimal competition from electric vehicles. Additionally, the majority of the materials are recyclable with commercially available recycling processes at end of product life, helping preserve the environment.
•Proven Technology Solution in the Growing and Evolving Energy Storage Market- As we launch the Z3 battery and ramp up manufacturing to gigawatt-hours (“GWh”) scale, we believe that we will benefit from the overall growth of the energy storage market, which is expected to reach 6,214 GWh by the end of 2035, as projected by BNEF. From an application perspective, the market is evolving to a LDES market. Our technology is tailored to address such a need. While Li-ion has been optimized for shorter duration, the performance of our batteries improves as it moves towards longer duration, making us the prime technology for the long-duration storage market.
•Experienced Technology Team Focused on Continuous Innovation- Our research and development team is responsible for growing and advancing our intellectual property portfolio, protecting our technology and system architecture. We believe that our continued investment in research and development will enable us to improve efficiency, energy density, functionality, and reliability while reducing the cost of our battery solution. We are also focused on leveraging our technology know-how to improve our BMS, expanding the operation of our batteries and increasing our overall performance. This same leverage would allow us to optimize our energy management solution to contextualize the operation of the battery based on the application, expanding our customers' ability to use our Znyth™ BESS in a wider set of use-cases.
•Established Global Sales Channels Anchored with Top-Tier Customers- We sell products directly to the electric utility industry and through sales channels to the commercial and industrial market. We continue to build relationships with new customers and enter into agreements to provide battery solutions to new customers.
•Strong management team- We have assembled an executive team focused on accelerating the commercialization of the next-generation Z3™ battery product. With decades of combined, diverse experience in the energy industry and deep expertise in manufacturing, battery storage and executing complex power and energy projects around the world, our management team is able to develop, manufacture and deliver systems at scale to meet the growing demands of the global storage market.

Risk Factors
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision. Our business, prospects, financial condition, or operating results could be harmed by any of these risks, as well as other risks not known to us or that we consider immaterial as of the date of this Form 10-K. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks, and, as a result, you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
We have a history of losses that casts substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. We must deliver on our potential for significant business growth and improved manufacturing processes to achieve sustained, long-term profitability and long-term commercial success.
We have had net losses and negative operating cash flows each fiscal quarter since inception of our business. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had $685.9 million and $229.5 million in net losses, respectively. We expect to continue to incur losses and experience negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future, as we anticipate continued investment in the development and launch of product with outside capital at the expense of short-term profitability. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Company concluded that there was substantial doubt about its ability to continue to operate as a going concern for the 12 months following the issuance of these Consolidated Financial Statements.
Although our available capital has increased substantially since our Merger through the issuance of convertible notes and other financing, we continue to have limited resources relative to certain of our competitors, especially certain Li-ion manufacturers that have a longer history, are part of large multinational corporations and are already operating at a profit. To achieve profitability as well as long-term commercial success, we must continue to execute our plan to expand our business, which will require us to deliver on our existing global sales pipeline in a timely manner, increase our production capacity, improve our cost profile, grow demand for our products, and seize new market opportunities by leveraging our proprietary technology and its manufacturing processes for novel solutions. Failure to do one or more of these things could prevent us from achieving sustained, long-term commercial success.
As a growth company in the early commercialization stage of its lifecycle, Eos is subject to inherent risks and uncertainties associated with the development of an enterprise. Our revenues may not grow as expected for a number of reasons, many of which are outside of our control, including a decline in global demand for battery storage products, increased competition, or our failure to continue to capitalize on growth opportunities. In addition, although we have achieved sales of our products to potential customers, it is not clear to what extent, if any, the products will be profitable and when. The costs of goods associated with production of our battery storage system are significant. While we are working to optimize our supply chain, improve the speed and efficiency of our manufacturing processes, and lower the cost of other input costs such as raw material and conversion costs, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in these efforts. If we are not able to sustain revenue growth, reduce cost and continue to raise the capital necessary to support operations, our failure to achieve or maintain profitability could negatively impact the value of our common stock. Even if we do achieve profitability when expected, we may be unable to sustain or increase our profitability in the future.
In order to execute our development strategy, we have historically relied on outside capital through the issuance of equity, debt, and borrowings under financing arrangements (collectively “outside capital”) to fund our cost structure and expect to continue to rely on outside capital for the foreseeable future. While we believe we will eventually reach a scale of profitability to sustain our operations, there can be no assurance we will be able to achieve such profitability or do so in a manner that does not require our continued reliance on outside capital. Moreover, while we have historically been successful in raising outside capital, there can be no assurance we will be able to continue to obtain outside capital in the future or do so on terms that are acceptable to us.
13
The relatively recent commercialization of our products makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects.
Since our inception, we have sold a limited quantity of Eos Znyth™ DC battery systems to our customers. We began commercializing our products in mid-2018, and while our research and development activities successfully established the efficiency of our chemistry, we struggled to incorporate our proven technologies into an effective manufacturing design prior to 2018.
We continue to invest in the design and development of the next generation product, the Z3™ battery which builds off the same electrochemistry that has not fundamentally changed for the better part of a decade. The Z3 battery is designed to reduce cost and weight and improve manufacturability and system performance. The Eos Z3 transition is fully underway, and the first semi-automated battery manufacturing line is installed and has started commercial production. The Company started delivery of its Z3 battery modules in the third quarter of 2023.
Our success will depend on our ability to manufacture products at scale and low cost while timely meeting customers’ demands and overcome any negative perception in the market related to our historical manufacturing challenges, and we may not be able to generate sufficient customer confidence in our latest designs and ongoing product improvements and lower the cost due to economies of scale. Our inability to predict the extent of customer adoption of our proprietary technologies in the already-established traditional energy storage market makes it difficult to evaluate our profitability and future prospects.
Failure to deliver the benefits offered by our technologies, or the emergence of improvements to competing technologies, could reduce demand for our products and harm our business.
We believe that, compared to Li-ion batteries, our energy storage solutions offer significant benefits, including the use of widely-available and low-cost materials with no rare earth or toxic components, recyclability at end-of-life, an over twenty (20) year product life requiring minimal maintenance, and a wide thermal operating range that eliminates the need for fire suppression and HVAC, which would otherwise be required for use with Li-ion batteries.
The rates at which electricity is available from a customer’s local electric utility company is subject to change and any changes in such rates may affect the relative benefits of our energy storage systems. Further, if our manufacturing costs do not decrease to the extent we intend, or if our expectations regarding the operation, performance, maintenance and disposal of our products are not realized, we could have difficulty marketing our products as a superior alternative to already-established technologies and impact the market reputation and adaptability of our products. Developments of existing and new technologies could improve their cost and usability profile, reducing any relative benefits currently offered by our products which would negatively impact the likelihood of our products gaining market acceptance.
A decline in lithium prices may result in increased competition from traditional lithium-ion (“Li-ion”) batteries and adversely affect the demand for our products.
Currently, global lithium available supply exceeds demand. Decreases in the price of lithium, a key component of traditional Li-ion batteries, may increase the competitiveness of the traditional Li-ion batteries relative to the zinc-based energy storage solutions we provide. Mineral prices fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control such as global and regional supply and demand, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation, fluctuation in the value of the United States dollar and foreign currencies, and the political and economic conditions of mineral-producing countries throughout the world. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in a decrease in lithium prices, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
As we endeavor to expand our business, we will incur significant costs and expenses, which could outpace our cash reserves. Unfavorable conditions or disruptions in the capital and credit markets may adversely impact business conditions and the availability of credit.
14
We expect to incur additional costs and expenses in the future related to the continued development and expansion of our business, including in connection with expanding our manufacturing capabilities to significantly increase production capacity, developing our products, maintaining and enhancing our research and development operations, expanding our sales, marketing, and business development activities in the United States and internationally, and growing our project management, field services and overall operational capabilities for delivering projects. We do not know whether we will be able to reduce our manufacturing cost and grow our revenue rapidly enough to absorb these costs or the extent of these expenses or their impact on our results of operations.
Disruptions in the global capital and credit markets as a result of an economic downturn, economic uncertainty, changing or increased regulation, or failures of significant financial institutions could adversely affect our customers’ ability to access capital and could adversely affect our access to liquidity needed for business in the future. Our business could be hurt if we are unable to obtain additional capital as required, resulting in a decrease in our revenues and profitability.
Our success depends on the continuing contributions of our key personnel, and the loss of services of any principal member of our management team could adversely affect our business.
We rely heavily on the services of our key executive officers. We are investing significant resources in developing new members of management as we complete our restructuring and strategic transformation, and the loss of services of any principal member of our management team could adversely affect our business. The competition for qualified personnel is intense in our industry, and we may not be successful in attracting and retaining enough qualified personnel to support our anticipated growth. We also cannot guarantee that any employee will remain employed with us for any definite period since all of our employees, including our key executive officers, serve at-will and may terminate their employment at any time for any reason.
The Company’s Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is committed to working with the management to design compensation plans that attract, retain and motivate the Company’s executives and support business objectives that create shareholder value. In addition, the Board of Directors has implemented procedures to plan for the effective succession of senior management and key personnel. However, we still depend on the experience of our senior management team, including our chief executive officer, chief financial officer and chief accounting officer, and other key personnel, each of whom would be difficult to replace in the event of an unforeseen departure from the Company. Despite successfully managing recent turnover, the loss of any such personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business and our ability to implement our business strategy. All of our employees, including our senior management, are free to terminate their employment relationships with us at any time. We do not maintain key-person insurance for any of our employees, including senior management. In addition, changes and replacement, as well as transition in senior executive leadership could adversely affect our relationships with clients, customers, and employees. We must successfully integrate new key personnel whom we hire within our organization in order to achieve our operating objectives.
Additionally, our ability to attract qualified personnel, including senior management and key technical personnel, is critical to the execution of our growth strategy. Competition for qualified senior management personnel and highly skilled individuals with technical expertise is extremely intense. We face and are likely to continue to face challenges identifying, hiring, and retaining qualified personnel in all areas of our business. In addition, integrating new employees into our team could prove disruptive to our operations, require substantial resources and management attention, and ultimately prove unsuccessful. Our failure to attract and retain qualified senior management and other key technical personnel could limit or delay our strategic efforts, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
The failure or breach of our network or IT systems, including as a result of a cybersecurity breach, could affect our sales and operations.
From time to time, we may face attempts by others to gain unauthorized access to our network or IT systems through various forms of the Internet or try to introduce malicious software to our network or IT systems, including our BMS. We or our products may be a target of computer hackers, organizations or malicious attackers who attempt to:
•gain access to our systems, network or data centers or those of our customers;
15
•steal proprietary information related to our business, products, employees, and customers; or
•interrupt our infrastructure or those of our customers.
To date, no attempts have resulted in any material adverse impact to our business or operations; however, there can be no guarantee that such intrusions will not be material in the future. While we seek to detect and investigate all unauthorized attempts and attacks against our network and products, and to prevent their recurrence where practicable through changes to our internal processes and tools and/or changes to our products, we remain potentially vulnerable to additional known or unknown threats, such as, among other things, malware and computer virus attacks, ransomware attacks, social engineering attacks (including phishing attacks) or denial-of-service attacks. In addition to intentional third-party cybersecurity breaches, the integrity and confidentiality of Company and customer data may be compromised as a result of human error, fraud or malice on the part of our employees or third parties, product defects, software bugs, server malfunctions, software or hardware failure or other technological failures. Such threats are evolving, may be difficult for long periods of time, and may see their frequency increased and effectiveness enhanced by the use of artificial intelligence. Further, these risks may be heightened in connection with ongoing global conflicts such as the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the military conflict between Israel and Hamas. Cybersecurity breaches, whether successful or unsuccessful, and other IT system interruptions, including those resulting from human error and technological failures, could result in us incurring significant costs related to, for example, rebuilding internal systems, reduced inventory value, providing modifications to our products and services, defending against litigation, responding to regulatory inquiries or actions, paying damages, or taking other remedial steps with respect to third parties.
Our IT infrastructure is currently managed by a third party Managed Services Provider ("MSP"). While we regularly review the cybersecurity tools and other security protection provided by this MSP, and this MSP regularly runs intrusion and other security tests on services provided to us, there can be no guarantee that a failure or breach of such systems will not occur. While we generally perform cybersecurity diligence on our other key service providers, we do not control our service providers and our ability to monitor their cybersecurity is limited. Some of our service providers may store or have access to our data and may not have effective controls, processes, or practices to protect our information from loss, unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized use or misappropriation or cybersecurity breaches. A vulnerability in our service providers’ software or systems, a failure of our service providers’ safeguards, policies or procedures, or a cybersecurity breach affecting any of these third parties could harm our business.
We operate a few IT systems throughout our business that could fail for a variety of reasons, including the threats of unauthorized intrusions and attackers. If such failures were to occur, we may not be able to sufficiently recover to avoid the loss of data or any adverse impact on our operations that are dependent on such IT systems. This could result in lost sales as we may not be able to meet the demands for our product.
Furthermore, because our IT systems are essential for the exchange of information both internally and in communicating with third parties, including our suppliers and manufacturers, cybersecurity breaches could potentially lead to the unauthorized release of sensitive, confidential or personal data or information, improper use of our systems, or, unauthorized access, use, disclosure, modification or destruction of information or defective products. If these cybersecurity breaches continue, our operations and ability to communicate both internally and with third parties may be negatively impacted. Additionally, if we try to remediate our cybersecurity problems, we could face significant unplanned costs or capital investments and any damage or interruption could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, and results of operations. Additionally, we cannot be certain that our insurance coverage will be adequate for data security liabilities actually incurred, that insurance will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms, or at all, or that our insurer will not deny coverage as to any future claim.
Internal system or service failures, or failures in the systems or services of third parties on which we rely, could disrupt our business and impair our ability to effectively provide our services and products to our customers, which could damage our reputation and adversely affect our business.
16
Any system or service disruptions, including to our IT systems managed by a MSP, if not anticipated and appropriately mitigated, could materially and adversely affect our business. We, and the service providers on which we rely, are also subject to systems failures, including network, software or hardware failures, whether caused by us, third-party service providers, cybersecurity threats, malicious insiders, natural disasters, power shortages, terrorist attacks, pandemics or other events, which could cause loss of data and interruptions or delays in our business, cause us to incur remediation costs, subject us to claims and damage our reputation. In addition, the failure or disruption of our communications, or those of our service providers, could cause us to interrupt or suspend our operations or otherwise adversely affect our business. Our property and business interruption insurance may be inadequate to compensate us for all losses resulting from any system or operational failure or disruption.
The nature of our business exposes us to potential legal proceedings or claims that could adversely affect our operating results. These claims could conceivably exceed the level of our liability insurance coverage.
We are a party to lawsuits in the normal course of our business. Litigation can be expensive, lengthy and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict. Responding to lawsuits brought against us, or legal actions that we may initiate, can be expensive and time-consuming. Unfavorable outcomes from these claims and/or lawsuits could adversely affect our business, results of operations, or financial condition and cash flows, and we could incur substantial monetary liability and/or be required to change our business practices. See Part I, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings.”
Our business may expose us to claims for personal injury, death or property damage resulting from the use of our products or from employee related matters. Additionally, we could be subject to potential litigation associated with compliance with various laws and governmental regulations at the federal, state or local levels, such as those relating to the protection of persons with disabilities, employment, health, safety, security and other regulations under which we operate.
We carry comprehensive insurance, subject to deductibles, at levels we believe are sufficient to cover existing and future claims made during the respective policy periods. However, we may be exposed to multiple claims, and, as a result, could incur significant out-of-pocket costs before reaching the deductible amount, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the cost of such insurance policies may increase significantly upon renewal of those policies as a result of general rate increases for the type of insurance we carry as well as our historical experience and experience in our industry. Although we have not experienced any material losses that were not covered by insurance, our existing or future claims may exceed the coverage level of our insurance, and such insurance may not continue to be available on economically reasonable terms, or at all. If we are required to pay significantly higher premiums for insurance, are not able to maintain insurance coverage at affordable rates or must pay amounts in excess of claims covered by our insurance, then we could experience higher costs that could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Labor disputes could disrupt our ability to serve our customers and/or lead to higher labor costs.
As of December 31, 2024, we have 430 full-time employees.
Approximately 160 production and maintenance employees at our facilities in Turtle Creek and East Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania are represented by the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union, AFL-CIO/CLC (“USW”).
We entered our first collective bargaining agreement (“CBA”) with USW applicable to the USW-represented employees on February 14, 2025, and the agreement was ratified and became effective on February 19, 2025 and expires on April 30, 2028. The CBA retains a probationary period and existing entry-level wage rates for new employees, provides seniority-based wage progression for entry-level positions and includes general wage increases for other positions. No wage increases become effective until May 1, 2026. The CBA allows for employee participation in existing and future Company benefits, including 401(k) and health and welfare benefits, as offered to our other non-represented employees. The wage and benefit costs agreed in the CBA do not materially increase our previously planned budgetary expenditures at our facilities.
17
The CBA also allows for substantial operational flexibility with broad management rights, subcontracting rights, flexible shift and overtime scheduling, and work rules to preserve reliability and performance of the production facilities. Finally, the CBA contains other common agreement provisions, including non-discrimination, no-strike/no-lockout, union security, safety, discipline, and grievance and arbitration procedures.
We maintain a positive and collaborative relationship with the USW, which led to relatively quick agreement on CBA terms. Management considers union relations to be good and the USW as a valuable partner for workforce training and management.
The imposition of tariffs, sanctions, restrictions on imports or other trade barriers between the United States and various countries may impact our revenue and results of operations.
The current political landscape has introduced significant uncertainty with respect to future trade regulations and existing international trade agreements. The new, substantial tariff increases on imports to the United States from Canada, Mexico and China announced on February 1, 2025, or other tariffs should they be implemented and sustained for an extended period of time, could have a significant adverse effect, including financial, on the overall energy storage solutions industry, us, and our supply chain. Further, retaliatory tariffs imposed by other governments would exacerbate the impact.
The Company sources approximately 15% of parts, products or materials from Canada and Mexico. As long as such tariffs are in effect, we expect that the costs of such parts, products and materials would increase. It is difficult to predict what further trade-related actions governments may take, which may include additional or increased tariffs and trade restrictions, and we may be unable to quickly and effectively react to such actions, which could result in supply shortages and increased costs.
We cannot predict whether, and to what extent, there may be changes to international trade agreements or whether quotas, duties, tariffs, exchange controls or other restrictions on our products will be changed or imposed. If we are unable to source our products from the countries where we wish to purchase them, either because of regulatory changes or for any other reason, or if the cost of doing so increases, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, imposition of tariffs may result in local sourcing initiatives, or other developments that make it more difficult to sell our products in foreign countries, which would negatively impact our business and operating results.
Risks Related to Our Products and Manufacturing
We must obtain Underwriters Laboratories ("UL") and other related certifications for our future generations of product.
Our existing generation of battery systems has received Underwriters Laboratories ("UL") 1973 certification and has been tested for UL 9540A. Based on these North American certifications, we also intend to expand our current generation of battery systems product certification to other national standards such as European Conformity (“CE”) marking in the European Union and the international certification of the International Electrotechnical Commission (“IEC”). We also intend to obtain the UL certification and all applicable safety standards for our future products. Failure to obtain UL, IEC or CE certification would have a significant impact on our revenues, as such certifications are required by most of our customers. As Battery Storage is a relatively new market segment, additional rules will be introduced and regulation changes will occur. We must continue to adapt and ensure conformity to new standards and regulations introduced in the market.
Compared to traditional Li-ion energy storage technologies, our cells and modules have less power density and round trip efficiency and may be considered inferior to competitors’ products.
18
While the energy density of the Eos Z3™ battery enclosure product is significantly improved compared to the Eos Gen 2.3 enclosure product, and we believe that for certain installation sites the Eos Z3 systems may now equal Li-ion energy density per acre of land, traditional Li-ion cells and modules continue to offer higher power density and a lower self-discharge rate than Eos cells and modules. The differences in power density and energy efficiency become lower when comparing full size Li-ion systems to Eos Z3 systems due to the differences in auxiliary loads required by Li-ion systems and safety spacing between enclosures required by Li-ion, however, if customers were to place greater value on power density and efficient power delivery on a cell and module basis, then we could have difficulty positioning our batteries as a viable or compelling alternative to traditional Li-ion batteries and our business would suffer.
We have limited manufacturing experience and could experience difficulty in producing commercial volumes of the battery storage system, establishing manufacturing capacity to scale and in meeting potential cost savings and efficiencies from anticipated improvements to our manufacturing capabilities.
We have limited experience in commercial manufacturing of the battery storage system. On August 21, 2019, we entered into a joint venture agreement with Holtec and formed Hi-Power, which was owned 51% by Holtec and 49% by us. We acquired the 51% equity interest owned by Holtec in April 2021. Because we have limited prior commercial manufacturing experience, we may incur manufacturing inefficiencies, delays or interruptions. Our current manufacturing and testing processes do not require significant technological or production process expertise. However, any change in our processes could cause one or more production errors, requiring a temporary suspension or delay in our production line until the errors can be researched, identified, and properly addressed and rectified. This may occur particularly as we introduce new products, modify our engineering and production techniques, and/or expand our capacity. In addition, our failure to maintain appropriate quality assurance processes could result in increased product failures, loss of customers, increased warranty reserve, decreased production, and logistical costs and delays. Any of these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
To date, we have only manufactured batteries in limited quantities for commercial customers. The output achieved to date is a fraction of what the Company expects will be necessary for full commercialization and to meet the demand we see in the market for our product. The manufacturing process for commercial scale is being refined and improved. There are risks associated with scaling up manufacturing to commercial volumes including, among others, technical or other problems with process scale-up, process reproducibility, stability issues, quality consistency, timely availability of raw materials and cost overruns. There is no assurance that we will be successful in establishing a larger-scale commercial manufacturing process that achieves our objectives for manufacturing capacity and cost per battery, in a timely manner or at all. If we are unable to produce sufficient quantities of product for commercialization on a timely basis and in a cost-effective manner, the Company's commercialization efforts would be impaired which could materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
We may experience delays, disruptions, or quality control problems in our manufacturing operations.
Our operations require significant amounts of certain components and raw materials. We deploy a continuous, company wide process to source the components and raw materials from a few suppliers. If we are unable to source these components or raw materials, our operations may be disrupted, or we could experience a delay or halt in certain of our manufacturing operations. We believe that our supply management and production practices are based on an appropriate balancing of the foreseeable risks and the costs of alternative practices. Nonetheless, reduced availability or interruption in supplies, whether resulting from more stringent regulatory requirements, supplier financial condition, increases in duties and tariff costs, disruptions in transportation, an outbreak of a severe public health pandemic, severe weather, the occurrence or threat of wars, and other geopolitical conflict could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Some of our customers may experience project delays as a result of delays in site selection and preparation, procedures of obtaining necessary permissions and establishing grid connections. These delays have impacted, and may, from time to time, continue to impact the timing of our product deliveries and our results of operations.
We may not have sufficient insurance coverage to cover business continuity.
19
We rely on a single manufacturing site in Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania to manufacture the products to our customers. As a result, a sustained or repeated interruption in the manufacturing of our products due to labor shortage, fire, flood, war, pandemic, or natural disasters may interfere with our ability to manufacture our products and fulfill customers’ demands in a timely manner. Failure to manufacture our products and meet customer demands would impair our ability to generate revenues which would adversely affect our financial results.
Defects or performance problems in our products could result in loss of customers, reputational damage, and decreased revenue, facing warranty, indemnity, and product liability claims that may arise from defective products.
Since our inception, our business objectives have been focused on producing a safe, low-cost grid-scale energy storage solution to meet the increasing demand for and adoption of renewable energy generation assets. Our Z3 battery design has, after years of research and prototype development, resulted in robust control of cell-to-cell spacing using a method which can easily be scaled for mass manufacturing production.
Although our products meet our stringent quality requirements, they may contain undetected errors or defects, especially when first introduced or when new generations of products are released. Errors, defects, or poor performance can arise due to design flaws, defects in raw materials or components or manufacturing difficulties, which can affect the quality of our products. In addition, our BMS software may contain errors, bugs, vulnerabilities (including to cyber attacks), design defects or technical limitations. Some errors, bugs or vulnerabilities inherently may be difficult to detect. Any actual or perceived errors, bugs, vulnerabilities, defects, or poor performance in our products could result in the replacement or recall of our products, shipment delays, rejection of our products, damage to our reputation, legal claims, lost revenue, diversion of our engineering personnel from our product development efforts, and increases in customer service and support costs, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Furthermore, defective components may give rise to warranty, indemnity, or product liability claims against us that exceed any revenue or profit we receive from the affected products. Generally, our product comes with an initial two (2) year manufacturing warranty. We also offer customers an extended performance warranty of up to twenty (20) years at an additional cost to the customer. The price charged for any such extended warranty is based on the use case of the customer and the additional performance that such customer desires. For extended warranties, this may require system augmentation or battery replacements, which would be provided at no additional charge beyond the price of the extended warranty paid by such customer.
While we accrued reserves for warranty claims, our estimated warranty costs for previously sold products may change to the extent future products are not compatible with earlier generation products under warranty. Our warranty accruals are based on various assumptions, which are based on a short operating history. As a result, these assumptions could prove to be materially different from the actual performance of our systems, causing us to incur substantial unanticipated expense to repair or replace defective products in the future or to compensate customers for defective products. Our failure to accurately predict future claims could result in unexpected volatility in, and have a material adverse effect on, our financial condition.
If one of our products were to cause injury to someone or cause property damage, due to a result of product malfunctions, defects, or improper installation, we could be exposed to product liability claims. We could incur significant costs and liabilities if we are sued and if damages are awarded against us. Further, any product liability claim we face could be expensive to defend and could divert management’s attention. The successful assertion of a product liability claim against us could result in potentially significant monetary damages, penalties or fines, subject us to adverse publicity, damage our reputation and competitive position, and adversely affect sales of our products. In addition, product liability claims, injuries, defects, or other problems experienced by other companies in the battery industry could lead to unfavorable market conditions for the industry as a whole and may have an adverse effect on our ability to attract new customers, thus harming our growth and financial performance.
We are heavily dependent on third-party suppliers and contractors. Supply chain issues could adversely affect our operations and financial results.
20
We are heavily dependent on third-party suppliers and contractors and their ability to deliver sufficient quantities of key components, products and services at reasonable prices and in time for us to meet schedules for the delivery of our products and services. In addition, our operations depend on our ability to anticipate and our suppliers’ ability to fulfill, our needs for sufficient quantities of key components and products. Given the diverse distribution of our suppliers and contract manufacturers, and the long lead times required to manufacture, assemble and deliver our products, problems could arise in production, planning and inventory management, and regulatory compliance that could seriously harm our business. Suppliers may face global supply chain challenges, such as transportation delays or reduced access to raw materials, and our business could be negatively impacted if suppliers are forced to reduce their normal operations.
If we elect to expand our production capacity by constructing one or more new manufacturing facilities, we may encounter challenges relating to the construction, management and operation of such facilities.
We currently operate our manufacturing facility located in Pennsylvania. We may, however, seek to construct one or more manufacturing facilities designed to meet our product supply needs in the future. Although we currently believe that we can expand our Turtle Creek facility to a 2 gigawatt-hour (“GWh”) manufacturing facility, we cannot provide any assurances that we would be able to successfully establish or operate a new manufacturing facility in a timely or profitable manner, or at all, or within any budget that might be forecasted for such a project. In addition, in order to access Tranche 3 and Tranche 4 under the DOE Loan Agreement, the Company would be required to open a new manufacturing facility satisfactory to the DOE to complete Lines 3 and 4 (as defined in the DOE Loan Agreement). The construction of any such facility would require significant capital expenditures and result in significantly increased fixed costs. If we are unable to transition manufacturing operations to any such new facilities in a cost-efficient and timely manner, then we may experience disruptions in operations, which could negatively impact our business and financial results. Further, if the demand for our products decreases or if we do not produce the expected output after any such new facility is operational, we may not be able to spread a significant amount of our fixed costs over the production volume, thereby increasing our product unit fixed cost, which would have a negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our ability to expand our manufacturing capacity would also greatly depend on our ability to hire, train and retain an adequate number of manufacturing employees, in particular employees with the appropriate level of knowledge, background and skills. Should we be unable to hire such employees, our business and financial results could be negatively impacted.
We could incur substantial costs as a result of violations of, or liabilities under, environmental laws.
Our properties, operations and the products we manufacture are subject to a number of environmental, health and safety laws and regulations in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. These laws and regulations govern, among other things, air emissions, water discharges, handling and disposal of solid and hazardous substances and wastes, soil and groundwater contamination, employee health and safety and the content of products. Under certain of these laws and regulations, we may be subject to joint and several liability for environmental investigations and remediation, including sites at which waste we generated was disposed, even if the contamination was not caused by us or was lawful at the time it occurred. Our failure to comply with these environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including failing to obtain any necessary permits, could cause us to incur substantial civil or criminal fines or penalties or enforcement actions, including regulatory or judicial orders enjoining or curtailing our operations or requiring us to conduct or fund remedial or corrective measures, install pollution control equipment or perform other actions. The future identification of presently unidentified environmental conditions, more vigorous enforcement by regulatory agencies, enactment of more stringent laws, regulations or permit requirements, including relating to climate change, or other unanticipated events may arise in the future and give rise to environmental liabilities, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Increased scrutiny from stakeholders and regulators regarding environmental, social and governance ("ESG") practices and disclosures, including those related to climate change and sustainability, as well as recent U.S. based anti-ESG efforts, could result in additional costs and risks.
21
Companies across many industries are facing increasing scrutiny relating to their environmental, social and governance practices and disclosures. Our failure to satisfy evolving stakeholder expectations for ESG practices and reporting may potentially harm our reputation and impact employee retention, customer relationships and access to capital and financial markets. We have established goals related to ESG matters. These goals reflect our current plans and aspirations and are not guarantees that we will be able to achieve them. Our efforts to accomplish and accurately report on these goals and objectives present numerous operational, reputational, financial, legal and other risks, any of which could have a material negative impact, including on our reputation and the market price of our common stock.
Further, certain institutional investors, investor advocacy groups, investment funds, creditors, influential financial markets participants and other stakeholders have become increasingly focused on companies' ESG issues in evaluating their investments and business relationships. Certain organizations also provide ESG ratings, scores and benchmarking studies that assess companies’ ESG practices. Although there are no universally accepted standards for such ratings, scores or benchmarking studies, they are used by some investors to inform their investment and voting decisions. It is possible that our future shareholders or organizations that report on, rate or score ESG practices will not be satisfied with our ESG performance. At the same time, some stakeholders and regulators have increasingly expressed or pursued opposing views, legislation, and investment expectations with respect to ESG, including the enactment or proposal of “anti-ESG” legislation or policies. Unfavorable press about or ratings or assessments of our ESG practices, regardless of whether or not we comply with applicable legal requirements, may lead to negative investor sentiment toward us, which could have a negative impact on our share price and our access to and cost of capital.
In addition, the adoption of new ESG-related regulations, or changes to existing ESG-related regulations, applicable to our business, or pressure from key stakeholders to comply with additional voluntary ESG-related initiatives or frameworks, could require us to make substantial investments in ESG matters, which could impact the results of our operations. Decisions or related investments in this regard could affect consumer perceptions as to our brand. We could also fail, or be perceived to fail, in our achievement of any announced ESG initiatives, goals or objectives, or we could be criticized for the scope of such initiatives, goals or objectives. If we fail to satisfy the expectations of investors and other key stakeholders or our initiatives, goals or objectives are not executed as planned, our reputation, financial results and market price of our common stock and access to and cost of capital could be materially and adversely affected.
Risks Related to Our Future Growth
If we fail to manage our recent and future growth effectively, we may be unable to execute our business plan, maintain high levels of customer service, or adequately address competitive challenges.
We have experienced significant growth in recent periods and intend to continue to expand our business significantly within existing and new markets. This growth has placed, and any future growth may place, a significant strain on our management, operational, and financial infrastructure. We will be required to expand, train, and manage our growing employee base and scale and otherwise improve our information technology (“IT”) infrastructure in tandem with that headcount growth. Our management will also be required to maintain and expand our relationships with customers, suppliers, and other third parties and attract new customers and suppliers, as well as manage multiple geographic locations.
Our current and planned operations, personnel, customer support, IT, information systems, and other systems and procedures might be inadequate to support future growth and may require us to make additional unanticipated investments in its infrastructure. Our success and ability to further scale our business will depend, in part, on our ability to manage these changes in a cost-effective and efficient manner. If we cannot manage our growth, we may be unable to take advantage of market opportunities, execute our business strategies, or respond to competitive pressures. This could also result in declines in quality or customer satisfaction, increased costs, difficulties in introducing new offerings, or other operational difficulties. Any failure to effectively manage growth could adversely impact our business and reputation.
Our growth prospects depend on our ability to capitalize on market opportunities.
22
We believe that several market opportunities could help fuel our growth prospects, including the following:
•the pervasiveness of electric grid congestion, creating an opportunity to deploy batteries to reduce the peak energy usage of a customer in specific locations where infrastructure constraints create a need for transmission and/or distribution upgrades;
•the demand for co-location of battery assets on solar or wind farms to store off-peak intermittent renewable energy production and provide on-peak energy at the higher price of alternative energy;
•C&I end users’ adoption of alternative energy generation technologies to supplement or replace on-the-grid energy usage; and
•carbon reduction targets and lower prices from renewables may be forcing earlier retirement of conventional energy sources and drive demand for energy storage.
If these expected market opportunities do not materialize, or if we fail to capitalize on them, then we may not be able to meet our growth projections.
If we fail to meet the covenants in either the DOE Loan Facility or the Credit Agreement, we may be subject to default under the credit facilities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
The DOE Loan Facility and Credit Agreement contain various affirmative and negative covenants applicable to the Company including, among others, as defined in the Credit Agreement (i) meeting certain Minimum Consolidated EBITDA, Minimum Consolidated Revenue, and Minimum Liquidity (the cash in accounts controlled by the collateral agent) measured quarterly, (ii) reporting and information covenants including the delivery of annual, quarterly and monthly financial statements, daily cash reports, annual financial plans and forecasts with weekly progress reports and updates, (iii) monthly meetings with the lenders and the engagement of advisors and consultants requested by the lenders, and (iv) restrictions on business and activities including debt incurrence, asset dispositions, distributions, investments, and modifications to or terminations of various material contracts. The DOE Loan Facility and the Credit Agreement are subject to certain events of default which can be triggered by, among other things, (i) breach of payment obligations and other obligations and representations in the DOE Loan Facility, Credit Agreement or related documents, (ii) default under other debt facilities with a principal above a predetermined amount, (iii) failure to perform or comply with certain covenants in the DOE Loan facility and the Credit Agreement, (iv) entry into a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or any of its subsidiaries in an involuntary case under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or under any other debtor relief law, (v) any money judgment, writ or warrant of attachment or similar process involving in the aggregate at any time an amount in excess of $2.5 million, (vi) any order, judgement or decree entered against the Company or the any of its subsidiaries decreeing the dissolution or split up of such entity, (vii) the failure of the common stock to be listed on an internationally recognized stock exchange in the United States and (viii) a change of control.
On November 26, 2024, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement Amendment, pursuant to which among other things, the applicability of the Consolidated Revenue and EBITDA financial covenants were deferred until December 31, 2025 and certain provisions were modified to conform with comparable provisions in the DOE Loan Facility and with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event the Company is unable to comply with all financial covenants when required under the Credit Agreement or the DOE Loan Facility, and the Company is unable to secure another waiver or amendment to the Credit Agreement or the DOE Loan Facility, the lenders may, at their discretion, exercise any and all of their existing rights and remedies, which may include, among other things, asserting their rights in the Company’s assets securing the loan, and the lender under the DOE Loan Facility may no longer be required to continue funding. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure funding under the DOE Loan Facility or outside sources of capital in the event it fails to meet a funding condition or comply with the various covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries under the DOE Loan Facility or the Credit Agreement. Moreover, the Company’s other lenders may exercise similar rights and remedies under the cross-default provisions of their respective borrowing arrangements with the Company. Any such default on the Credit Agreement or the DOE Loan Facility could have a material adverse effect on our business.
The Credit Agreement and the DOE Loan Facility are secured by a substantial portion of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, resulting in a lack of substantial remaining assets available for incurring additional indebtedness.
23
The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company and it is secured by perfected first priority security interests (subject to customary exceptions and permitted liens) over the assets of the Company and of its subsidiaries. In addition, the DOE Loan Facility is guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company and is secured by a lien (subject to customary exceptions and permitted liens) on all real and personal property and all intellectual property collateral of the Company and its subsidiaries, including its Turtle Creek manufacturing site.
Because a substantial portion of the Company’s assets secure the Credit Agreement and the DOE Loan Facility, we do not have substantial remaining assets available to secure other indebtedness. Accordingly, we may not be able to incur additional secured indebtedness in the future. In addition, the terms of each of the Credit Agreement and the DOE Loan Facility significantly limit our ability to incur additional debt, including secured debt. If we are unable in the future to incur additional indebtedness, including secured indebtedness, to finance our operations and projects, such limitation could have an adverse effect on our business plans, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company may need to seek alternative sources of capital, or risk its ability to continue operations, in the event it fails to meet a funding condition under the terms of the DOE Loan Facility or in the event that the government enacts laws and governmental regulations that could affect the availability of funding under the DOE Loan Facility.
Pursuant to the terms of the DOE Loan Facility, the lender is not required to provide funding under the DOE Loan Facility in the event that the Company does not meet the necessary funding conditions stipulated in the DOE Loan Facility. In the event the Company does not meet these funding conditions and the lender chooses not to continue funding, the Company would need to seek alternative sources of capital, which may not be available on favorable terms or at all. If the lender does not continue funding, and the Company’s efforts to raise additional outside capital prove unsuccessful, management would be required to seek other strategic alternatives, which may include, among others, a significant curtailment in the Company’s operations, a sale of certain of the Company’s assets, a sale of the entire Company to strategic or financial investors and/or allowing the Company to become insolvent.
In addition, on January 20, 2025, President Trump issued an Executive Order titled “Unleashing American Energy,” that, among other provisions, directed DOE to pause the disbursement of funds appropriated through the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 or the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and to review DOE’s processes, policies, and programs for issuing grants, loans, contracts, or any other financial disbursements of such appropriated funds for consistency with the law and the policy outlined in the Executive Order. The Company is currently uncertain whether the required review under the Executive Order will impact the availability to receive funding under the DOE Loan Facility. There can be no assurance as to DOE’s implementation of the Executive Order, the new Administration’s views of the contemplated DOE review or its future policies, or the impact of those policies on the DOE Loan Facility and our existing and future projects, including our related contracts.
A substantial number of shares of the Company’s common stock that are issuable upon the exercise or conversion of securities issued or issuable under the Credit Agreement and the SPA are subject to a contractual lockup.
Under the terms of the Credit Agreement and the SPA, the holders of our securities issued or issuable thereunder are subject to a contractual lockup that expires on June 21, 2025. Such securities represent a substantial portion of our outstanding shares of common stock and, subject to beneficial ownership limitations, have the potential to represent an even larger portion of our outstanding shares of common Stock, and we are obligated to register the resale of these shares of common stock by the holders.
Upon the effectiveness of the resale registration statement or otherwise in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act and after expiration or waiver of the lock-up, the holders may sell our common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, which could have the effect of increasing the volatility in the trading price of our common stock or putting significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock.
24
The resale, or expected or potential resale, of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could adversely affect the market price for our common stock and make it more difficult for you to sell your common stock at times and prices that you feel are appropriate. Furthermore, because there will be a large number of shares registered pursuant to the registration statement, selling holders could continue to offer the securities covered by the registration statement for a significant period of time, the precise duration of which cannot be predicted. Accordingly, the adverse market and price pressures resulting from an offering pursuant to a registration statement may continue for an extended period of time.
Further, sales of our common stock upon expected expiration of resale restrictions could encourage short sales by market participants. Generally, short selling means selling a security, contract or commodity not owned by the seller. The seller is committed to eventually purchase the financial instrument previously sold. Short sales are used to capitalize on an expected decline in the security’s price. As such, short sales of our common stock could have a tendency to depress the price of our common stock, which could further increase the potential for short sales.
We cannot predict the size of future issuances or sales of our common stock or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of our common stock will have on the market price of our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, including issuances made in the ordinary course of the Company’s business, or the perception that such sales could occur, may materially and adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock.
Our planned expansion into new geographic markets or new product lines or services could subject us to additional business, financial, and competitive risks.
During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we primarily sold our products in the United States. We have in the past, and may in the future, evaluate opportunities to expand into new geographic markets and introduce new product offerings and services that are a natural extension of our existing business. We also may from time to time engage in acquisitions of businesses or product lines with the potential to strengthen our market position, enable us to enter attractive markets, expand our technological capabilities, or provide synergy opportunities.
Our success operating in these new geographic or product markets, or in operating any acquired business, will depend on a number of factors, including our ability to develop solutions to address the requirements of the electric utility industry and C&I end users, our timely qualification and certification of new products, our ability to manage increased manufacturing capacity and production, and our ability to identify and integrate any acquired businesses.
Further, any additional markets that we may enter could have different characteristics from the markets in which we currently sell products, and our success will depend on our ability to adapt properly to these differences. These differences may include regulatory requirements, including tax laws, trade laws, labor regulations, tariffs, export quotas, customs duties, or other trade restrictions, limited or unfavorable intellectual property protection, international, political or economic conditions, restrictions on the repatriation of earnings, longer sales cycles, warranty expectations, product return policies and cost, performance and compatibility requirements. In addition, expanding into new geographic markets will increase our exposure to presently existing and new risks, such as fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies and difficulties and increased expenses in complying with United States and foreign laws, regulations, and trade standards, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended (the “FCPA”).
Failure to develop and introduce these new products successfully into the market, to successfully integrate acquired businesses or to otherwise manage the risks and challenges associated with our potential expansion into new product and geographic markets, could adversely affect our revenues and our ability to sustain profitability.
Our results of operations may fluctuate from quarter to quarter, which could make our future performance difficult to predict and could cause our results of operations for a particular period to fall below expectations, resulting in a decline in the price of our common stock.
25
Revenue from our battery sales is primarily recorded upon transfer of ownership of the product to the customer. Under our customer contracts, this transfer typically takes place upon shipment of the battery from our manufacturing facility but, in some instances, occurs upon delivery to a customer site or, even more infrequently, when commercial operation commences. Because our revenues are generally derived from sales of hardware that may take many months to manufacture and prepare for delivery, such revenue can come in peaks and troughs based on the underlying customer arrangements. As a result, our quarterly results of operations are difficult to predict and may fluctuate significantly in the future based on the timing of product deliveries.
Risks Related to Our United States Operations
Some of our customers receive federal, state and local government incentives for renewable energy solutions. The reduction, elimination or expiration of government subsidies and economic incentives related to renewable energy solutions could reduce demand for our technologies and harm our business.
To promote renewable energy generation and consumption, federal, state, local and foreign government bodies provide incentives to owners, end users, distributors, system integrators and manufacturers of alternative energy systems in the form of rebates, tax credits and other financial incentives such as system performance payments, issuance of renewable energy credits associated with renewable energy generation and exclusion of certain renewable energy systems from property tax assessments. Some of our customers receive these incentives for investment in energy storage projects.
Our business relies, in part, on the co-location of battery assets with solar and wind technologies. The market for on-grid applications, where solar or wind power is used to supplement a customer’s electricity purchased from the utility network or sold to a utility under tariff, often depends in large part on the availability and size of government and economic incentives that vary by geographic market. The reduction, elimination or expiration of government subsidies and economic incentives for on-grid renewable electricity may negatively affect the competitiveness of alternative electricity generation relative to conventional and nonrenewable sources of electricity and could harm or halt the growth of the alternative electricity industries. Because our C&I end user sales are generally expected to be made into the on-grid market, these changes could harm our business. For example, the Inflation Reduction Act enacted in August 2022 allows owners of new batteries to claim an ITC of between 30% and 70% during 2023 through a period that extends at least into the 2030s and possibly longer. The tax credit amount depends on the location of the battery and amount of domestic content. Companies should have an incentive to buy US-made batteries to qualify for a higher tax credit. A condition to claim tax credits at these levels is the same as wages that are paid on federal construction projects must be paid to mechanics and laborers who work at the project site and lay down yard during construction and for the five years after on alterations and repairs, and qualified apprentices must be used during the same periods for as much as 15% of total labor hours.
The Inflation Reduction Act also allows manufacturers of certain battery components made in the United States to claim tax credits. Under Internal Revenue Code Section 6417(d), certain eligible taxpayers, including such manufacturers, can elect direct payment, enabling the Internal Revenue Service to treat the tax credit amount as a deemed tax payment and refund any excess as a cash tax payment, even if the taxpayer has no tax liability. This election can be made for any taxable year in which the taxpayer qualifies for the credit, and, once made, applies to that taxable year and the subsequent four taxable years, resulting in five consecutive years of direct payment. The tax credits for manufacturers start phasing down in amount after 2029 and end after 2032.
Both sets of tax credits are expected to increase demand for batteries and encourage more US domestic manufacturing of batteries. If in the future, Congress were to repeal or cut back the incentives, it could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
In general, subsidies and incentives may expire on a particular date, end when the allocated funding is exhausted or be reduced or terminated as renewable energy adoption rates increase or as a result of legal challenges, the adoption of new statutes or regulations or the passage of time. These reductions or terminations often occur without warning.
26
In addition, several jurisdictions have adopted renewable portfolio standards, which mandate that a certain portion of electricity delivered by utilities to customers each year must come from renewable energy resources. Utilities must either generate the renewable electricity themselves or buy renewable energy credits ("REC"s) from independent generators who have been awarded them for generating renewable electricity. Utilities may buy such RECs bundled with renewable electricity. An REC allows the utility to add this electricity to its renewable portfolio requirement total without actually expending the capital for generating facilities. However, there can be no assurances that such policies will continue.
If subsidies and incentives applicable to alternative energy implementation or usage are reduced or eliminated, or the regulatory landscape otherwise becomes less favorable, then there could be reduced demand for alternative energy solutions, which could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The new presidential administration and Congress may seek to repeal or curtail the tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act, as well as its other tax provisions intended to incentivize renewable energy technologies. Changes in laws related to the tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act, or changes in interpretations of such laws, communications with regulatory agencies, transactions or agreements with third parties, and/or evolving interpretations of the Final Regulations may result in a material change in our estimate of tax credits to which we may be entitled, which could materially affect our business, financial position and results of operations. Finally, the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, which restricted federal agencies’ ability to interpret vague or broad legislation, could introduce uncertainty around applicable agency regulations and, therefore, negatively impact the demand for our services. See Part I, Item I - Business - Regulations for further discussion of government programs and incentives.
We have operations in the United States, which exposes us to multiple federal, state and local regulations. Changes in applicable law, regulations or requirements, or our material failure to comply with any of them, can increase our costs and have other negative impacts on our business.
Applicable laws and requirements address multiple aspects of our operations, such as worker safety, consumer rights, data privacy, cybersecurity, employee benefits and more, and can often have different requirements in different jurisdictions. Changes in these requirements, or any material failure to comply with them, could increase our costs, affect our reputation, limit our business, drain management’s time and attention or otherwise, generally impact our operations in adverse ways.
We are subject to complex and evolving laws, regulations, rules, standards and contractual obligations regarding data privacy and cybersecurity, which could increase the cost of doing business, compliance risks and potential liability.
We are subject to complex and evolving laws, regulations, rules, standards and contractual obligations governing data privacy and cybersecurity and any failure to comply with these laws, regulations, rules, standards and contractual obligations could expose us to liability and/or reputational damage. Compliance with these laws, regulations, rules and standards may require us to change our policies, procedures and technology for data privacy and cybersecurity, which could, among other things, make us more vulnerable to operational failures and to monetary penalties for breach of such laws, regulations, rules and standards.
27
In the U.S., there are numerous federal, state and local data privacy and cybersecurity laws and regulations governing the collection, sharing, use, retention, disclosure, security, storage, transfer and other processing of personal information. At the federal level, we are subject to, among other laws and regulations, the rules and regulations promulgated under the authority of the Federal Trade Commission (which has the authority to regulate and enforce against unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce, including acts and practices with respect to data privacy and cybersecurity). Moreover, the U.S. Congress has recently considered, and is currently considering, various proposals for more comprehensive data privacy and cybersecurity legislation, to which we may be subject if passed. At the U.S. state level, we may be subject to laws and regulations such as the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, the “CCPA”), which broadly defines personal information and gives California residents expanded privacy rights and protections, such as affording them the right to access and request deletion of their information and to opt out of certain sharing and sales of personal information. Numerous other states also have enacted, or are in the process of enacting or considering, comprehensive state-level data privacy and cybersecurity laws and regulations that share similarities with the CCPA. Moreover, laws in all 50 U.S. states require businesses to provide notice under certain circumstances to consumers whose personal information has been disclosed as a result of a data breach.
Further, while we strive to publish and prominently display privacy policies that are accurate, comprehensive, and compliant with applicable laws, regulations, rules and industry standards, we cannot ensure that our privacy policies and other statements regarding our practices will be sufficient to protect us from claims, proceedings, liability or adverse publicity relating to data privacy and cybersecurity. Although we endeavor to comply with our privacy policies, we may at times fail to do so or be alleged to have failed to do so. The publication of our privacy policies and other documentation that provide promises and assurances about data privacy and cybersecurity can subject us to potential government or legal action if they are found to be deceptive, unfair, or misrepresentative of our actual practices. Any concerns about our data privacy and cybersecurity practices, even if unfounded, could damage our reputation and adversely affect our business.
Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with our privacy policies, or applicable data privacy and cybersecurity laws, regulations, rules, standards or contractual obligations, or any compromise of security that results in unauthorized access to, or unauthorized loss, destruction, use, modification, acquisition, disclosure, release or transfer of personal information, may result in requirements to modify or cease certain operations or practices, the expenditure of substantial costs, time and other resources, proceedings or actions against us, legal liability, governmental investigations, enforcement actions, claims, fines, judgments, awards, penalties, sanctions and costly litigation (including class actions). Any of the foregoing could harm our reputation, distract our management and technical personnel, increase our costs of doing business, adversely affect the demand for our products and services, and ultimately result in the imposition of liability, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We could be adversely affected by any violations of the FCPA, the U.K. Bribery Act, and other foreign anti-bribery laws, as well as violations against export controls and economic embargo regulations.
28
The FCPA prohibits companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to foreign government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Other countries in which we operate also have anti-bribery laws, some of which prohibit improper payments to government and non-government persons and entities. Our policies mandate compliance with these anti-bribery laws. However, we currently operate in and intend to further expand into, many parts of the world that have experienced governmental corruption to some degree and, in certain circumstances, strict compliance with anti-bribery laws may conflict with local customs and practices. In addition, due to the level of regulation in our industry and related energy industries, our entry into certain jurisdictions may require substantial government contact where norms can differ from U.S. standards. Although we expect to maintain strict internal control policies and procedures designed to guard against improper conduct, there can be no guarantee that our employees, agents, and business partners will not take actions in violation of our internal control policies. In the event that we believe or have reason to believe that our employees or agents have or may have violated applicable laws, including anti-corruption laws, we may be required to investigate or have outside counsel investigate the relevant facts and circumstances, and detecting, investigating and resolving actual or alleged violations can be expensive and require significant time and attention from senior management. Any violation of U.S. federal and state and non-U.S. laws, regulations and policies could result in substantial fines, sanctions, civil and/or criminal penalties, and curtailment of operations in the United States or other applicable jurisdictions. In addition, actual or alleged violations could damage our reputation and ability to do business. Any of the foregoing could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Furthermore, we are subject to the export controls and economic embargo rules and regulations of the United States, including, but not limited to, the Export Administration Regulations and trade sanctions against embargoed countries, which are administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control within the Department of the Treasury, as well as the laws and regulations administered by the Department of Commerce. These regulations limit our ability to market, sell, distribute or otherwise transfer our products or technology to prohibited countries or persons. While we do not conduct business with sanctioned and embargoed countries and we expect to maintain strict internal controls policies and procedures designed to guard against improper conduct, a determination that we have failed to comply, whether knowingly or inadvertently, may result in substantial penalties, including fines and enforcement actions and civil and/or criminal sanctions, the disgorgement of profits and the imposition of a court-appointed monitor, as well as the denial of export privileges, and may have an adverse effect on our reputation.
Risks Related to Intellectual Property
If we fail to protect, or incur significant costs in defending, our intellectual property and other proprietary rights, then our business and results of operations could be materially harmed.
Our success depends to a significant degree on our ability to protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights. We rely on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret and unfair competition laws, as well as confidentiality and other contractual provisions with our customers, suppliers, employees, and others, to establish and protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights. Our ability to enforce these rights is subject to general litigation risks, as well as uncertainty as to the enforceability of our intellectual property rights in various countries. When we seek to enforce our rights, we may be subject to claims that our intellectual property rights are invalid or not enforceable. Our assertion of intellectual property rights may result in another party seeking to assert claims against us, which could harm our business. Our inability to enforce intellectual property rights under any of these circumstances would likely harm our competitive position and business.
We have been issued patents in, or have patent applications pending in the United States, North America, Europe, South America, Asia and Australia. We cannot guarantee that any of our pending applications will be approved or that our existing and future intellectual property rights will be sufficiently broad to protect our proprietary technology, and any failure to obtain such approvals or finding that our intellectual property rights are invalid or unenforceable could force us to, among other things, rebrand or redesign our affected products. In countries where we have not applied for patent protection or where effective intellectual property protection is not available to the same extent as in the United States, we may be at greater risk that our proprietary rights will be infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated.
29
Our intellectual property may be stolen or infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated. Despite our implementation of security measures, our IT systems and those of our service providers are vulnerable to circumstances beyond our reasonable control which may lead to the theft of our intellectual property or trade secrets or business disruption, including inappropriate retention or disclosure of trade secrets by current or former employees. To the extent that any disruption or security breach results in a loss or damage to our data or an inappropriate disclosure of confidential information, it could cause significant damage to our reputation, affect our relationships with our customers, suppliers and employees and lead to claims against the company. Any lawsuits that we may initiate to protect our significant investment in our intellectual property also may consume management and financial resources for long periods of time and may not result in favorable outcomes, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.
Third parties may assert that we are infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating their intellectual property rights, which could divert management’s attention, cause us to incur significant costs, and prevent us from selling or using the technology to which such rights relate.
Our competitors and other third parties hold numerous patents related to technology used in our industry. From time to time, we may be subject to claims of intellectual property infringement, misappropriation or other violation and related litigation, and, if we gain greater recognition in the market, we will face a higher risk of being the subject of claims that we have violated others’ intellectual property rights. While we believe that our products and technology do not infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate in any material respect upon any valid intellectual property rights of third parties, we cannot be certain that we would be successful in defending against any such claims. If we do not successfully defend or settle intellectual property claims, we could be liable for significant monetary damages and could be prohibited from continuing to use certain technology, business methods, content, or brands. To avoid a prohibition, we could seek a license from the applicable third party, which could require us to pay significant royalties, increasing our operating expenses. If a license is not available at all or not available on reasonable terms, then we may be required to develop or license a non-violating alternative, either of which could require significant effort and expense. If we cannot license or develop a non-violating alternative, we would be forced to limit or stop sales of our offerings and may be unable to effectively compete. Any of these results would adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Risks Related to Our Securities
Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the SPA and the securities issued thereunder, current stockholders may be subject to significant dilution, and the voting power of the currently outstanding common stock could be significantly diluted.
As of February 26, 2025, there were 226,599,297 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and an aggregate of 253,238,633 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion or exercise of outstanding convertible securities (as calculated under the Credit Agreement and the SPA), including 158,433,112 shares of common stock underlying the Warrant (as defined below) and Preferred Stock (as defined below) issued to Cerberus under the Credit Agreement and the SPA (the “Cerberus Securities”).
If the Company fails to meet all of the remaining milestones as of the final milestone measurement date under the Delayed Draw Term Loan, Cerberus would be entitled to receive additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock (as defined below) or Warrants aggregating to a maximum Applicable Percentage of 37.0% (originally 49.0%), or assuming the number of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis does not change after February 26, 2025, Preferred Stock and Warrants with respect to an aggregate of 177,540,034 shares of Common Stock, including the Cerberus Securities already issued to Cerberus. Such shares of Preferred Stock and Warrants are directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock, subject only to a beneficial ownership cap of 49.9% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company. Furthermore, the Certificates of Designation governing the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Certificates of Designation”) contain preemptive rights that permit the holders of Series B Preferred Stock to participate in certain future equity offerings by the Company.
30
In addition, if the Company were to issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible or exercisable into common stock or trigger anti-dilution protection under the Cerberus Securities, the Cerberus Securities may become convertible or exercisable into additional shares of common stock. The issuance, pursuant to the terms of the Cerberus Securities, of common stock will dilute the percentage ownership interest of all stockholders, could dilute the book value per share of the common stock and will increase the number of the Company’s outstanding shares, and upon conversion or exercise would dilute the voting power of the common stock, which could cause the market price of our common stock to decrease. Depressed trading prices of our common stock could further impair our ability to raise sufficient capital to carry on our business.
We currently have a significant number of outstanding securities that are exercisable for or convertible into our common stock, which could result in significant additional dilution and downward pressure on our stock price. Future issuances of our common stock, including common stock that may be issuable pursuant to outstanding warrants or other convertible securities, could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our stockholders and could cause our stock price to fall.
In addition to the Cerberus Securities, the Company has issued the IPO Warrants, the 2021 Convertible Notes, the AFG Convertible Notes and warrants issued pursuant to the April, May and December 2023 Public Offering, which are each exercisable for or convertible into common stock at certain exercise or conversion prices per share. See Note 14, Warrants Liability for further discussion. The issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise or conversion of our warrants or convertible securities would result in significant additional dilution to our current stockholders, which could adversely affect the price of our common stock and the terms on which we could raise additional capital. If we sell additional shares of common stock, convertible securities or other equity securities, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing stockholders, and new investors could gain rights, preferences and privileges senior to the holders of our common stock.
To the extent that any shares of common stock are issued upon exercise or conversion of any of these securities, there will be an increase in the number of shares of common stock eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of a substantial number of such shares in the public market could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Provisions in our Charter and Delaware law may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers.
Our Charter requires, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, that (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against us, our directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or our Charter or our bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against us or our directors, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine may be brought only in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware, except any claim (A) as to which the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within 10 days following such determination), (B) which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, (C) for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction, or (D) any action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"), as to which the Court of Chancery and the federal district court for the District of Delaware shall have concurrent jurisdiction. If an action is brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to service of process on such stockholder’s counsel. Although we believe that this provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies, a court may determine that this provision is unenforceable, and to the extent it is enforceable, the provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers, although our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, our Charter provides that the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.
31
Although we believe that this provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies, the provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers.
Provisions in our Charter may inhibit a takeover of us, which could limit the price investors might be willing to pay in the future for our common stock and could entrench management.
Our Charter contains provisions that may hinder unsolicited takeover proposals that stockholders may consider to be in their best interests. We are also subject to anti-takeover provisions under Delaware law, which could delay or prevent a change of control. Together these provisions may make it more difficult to remove management and may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for our securities. These provisions include:
•no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates;
•a classified board of directors with three-year staggered terms, which could delay the ability of stockholders to change the membership of a majority of the Board;
•the right of our Board to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of our Board or the resignation, death or removal of a director in certain circumstances, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on our Board;
•a prohibition on stockholder action by written consent, which forces stockholder action to be taken at an annual or special meeting of our stockholders;
•advance notice procedures that stockholders must comply with in order to nominate candidates to our Board or to propose matters to be acted upon at a meeting of stockholders, which may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company; and
•the requirement that a meeting of stockholders may only be called by members of our Board or the stockholders holding a majority of our shares, which may delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors.
Our stock price may be volatile and may decline regardless of our operating performance.
Fluctuations in the price of our securities could contribute to the loss of part or all your investment. The trading price of our securities could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on your investment in our securities and our securities may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid for them. In such circumstances, the trading price of our securities may not recover and may experience a further decline.
Factors affecting the trading price of our securities may include:
•actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to us;
•changes in the market’s expectations about our operating results;
•success of competitors;
•our operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;
•changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning us or the industries in which we operate in general;
•operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to us;
•our ability to market new and enhanced products on a timely basis;
•changes in laws and regulations affecting our business;
•commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving us;
•changes in our capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;
•the volume of shares of our common stock available for public sale;
•any major change in our board of directors or management;
•sales of substantial amounts of our common stock by our directors, executive officers or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur; and
32
•general economic, political, market conditions such as recessions, inflation, interest rates, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations and acts of war or terrorism.
Future resales of our common stock may cause the market price of our securities to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.
Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our securities irrespective of our operating performance. The stock market in general, and Nasdaq, have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of our securities, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for the stocks of other companies that investors perceive to be like us could depress our stock price regardless of our business, prospects, financial conditions, or results of operations. A decline in the market price of our securities also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future.
We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our common stock.
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock. We currently do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to declare cash dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors, subject to applicable laws, and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.
We are a “smaller reporting company” and, because we have opted to use the reduced reporting requirements available to us, certain investors may find investing in our securities less attractive.
As a smaller reporting company, we are permitted to comply with scaled-back disclosure obligations in our SEC filings compared to other issuers, including with respect to disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements. We have elected to adopt the accommodations available to smaller reporting companies. Until we cease to be a smaller reporting company, the scaled-back disclosure in our SEC filings will result in less information about our company being available than for other public companies. If investors consider our common stock less attractive as a result of our election to use the scaled-back disclosure permitted for smaller reporting companies, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our share price may be more volatile.
We are also a non-accelerated filer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and we are not required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Therefore, our internal controls over financial reporting will not receive the level of review provided by the process relating to the auditor attestation included in annual reports of issuers that are subject to the auditor attestation requirements. In addition, we cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we are not required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements. We cannot predict if investors will find our securities less attractive because we rely on these available exemptions. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the market price of our securities may be more volatile.

The following is also disclosed in Note 17, Commitments and Contingencies to our Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Class Action Complaints
On March 8, 2023, a class action lawsuit (the “Delman Complaint”) was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware by plaintiff Richard Delman (the “Delman Plaintiff”) against certain defendants including the Company’s former directors (the “Delman Defendants”). Neither the Company nor Eos Energy Storage LLC were named as a defendant in the Delman Complaint, but each was identified as a relevant non-party, and the Company has indemnification obligations relating to the lawsuit. On June 26, 2024, the parties to the Delman Complaint as well as the Company entered into a definitive Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement, Compromise, and Release and related documents (collectively, “Settlement Agreement”), pursuant to which the Delman Plaintiff agreed to release all claims against the Delman Defendants in exchange for a settlement payment of $8.5 million (the “Settlement Amount”), funded by the Company’s D&O liability insurers, subject to the Company’s retention of $1.0 million consisting of payment of legal fees of the Delman Defendants. On October 17, 2024, the Court of Chancery approved the Settlement Agreement and entered the Final Judgment subject to the payment of Settlement Amount. On December 10, 2024, the Settlement Amount was fully paid to the Delman Plaintiff by the Company’s D&O liability insurers.
34
On August 1, 2023, a class action lawsuit (the “Houck Complaint”) was filed in the United States District Court of New Jersey by plaintiff William Houck (the “Houck Plaintiff”) against the Company and three individual officers: the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, its former Chief Financial Officer, and its current Chief Financial Officer (with the Company, the “Houck Defendants”). The Houck Complaint alleges that the Houck Defendants violated federal securities laws by making knowingly false or misleading statements about the Company’s contractual relationship with a customer and about the size of the Company’s order backlog and commercial pipeline. On November 8, 2024, the District Court granted the renewed motion to dismiss filed by the Houck Defendants. On January 23, 2025, the Company filed a Notice and Request for Entry of Final Judgment with the District Court. The Company is awaiting the District Court’s entry of Final Judgment.
On November 5, 2024, a shareholder derivative lawsuit (the “Hyung Complaint”) was filed in the United States District Court of the District of New Jersey by plaintiff Jung Jae Hyung (the “Hyung Plaintiff”) against certain defendants including the Company’s current Chief Executive Officer, the Company’s current Chief Financial Officer, and five of the Company’s current Directors and one former Director (the “Hyung Defendants”). The Hyung Complaint alleges that the Hyung Defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company by allowing the Company to make knowingly false or misleading statements about the Company’s contractual relationship with a customer and about the size of the Company’s order backlog and commercial pipeline. The Company intends to vigorously contest this matter.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report. In addition to historical information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from management’s expectations. Factors that could cause such differences are discussed in “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.”
Overview
The Company offers an innovative Znyth™ technology battery energy storage system ("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. The Company’s BESS is a validated chemistry with accessible non-precious earth components in a durable design that is intended to deliver results in even the most 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 US designed and manufactured battery module that today provide 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 discharge duration applications. We believe the Z3 battery will transform how utility, industrial, and commercial customers store power.
In addition to its BESS, the Company currently offers: (a) a BMS which provides a remote asset monitoring capability and service to track the performance and health of the Company’s BESS and to proactively identify future system performance issues through predictive analytics; (b) project management services to ensure the process of implementing the Company’s 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 the Company’s systems.
The Company’s growth strategy contemplates increasing sales of battery energy storage systems and related software and services through a direct sales team and sales channel partners. The Company’s current and target customers include utilities, project developers, independent power producers and commercial and industrial companies.
Business Trends
As an SEC-registered and Nasdaq-listed company, we are required to implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices and have, and will continue to, hire additional personnel in this context. We have incurred additional annual expenses as a public company for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees, internal and external accounting, legal, administrative resources, including increased personnel costs, and audit and other professional service fees.
Inflation and cost factors - During 2024, the effects of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes in 2022 and in the first half of 2023 had an impact on reducing inflation back towards normal levels. This eased many investor concerns and worked to stabilize the cost of purchasing supplies and raw materials for the Company.
DOE Loan Facility
On November 26, 2024, the Company entered into the DOE Loan Facility. The DOE Loan Facility is a key step in advancing the Company's Project American Made Zinc Energy ("AMAZE") and is expected to fund the expansion of Eos’ manufacturing capacity to 8 GWh by 2027 to meet the growing demand for longer duration battery energy storage systems. The DOE Loan Facility provides for up to $303.5 million in funding, including capitalized interest.
36
The DOE Loan Facility provides for a multi draw term loan facility under a series of at least two and, if the Company elects, up to four tranches of the loan (each, a “Tranche”), subject to the achievement of certain funding conditions, with each Tranche corresponding to the production, maintenance and development, and operation of a given production line to be funded using the proceeds of such Tranche and the principal amount of each Tranche consisting of a maximum principal amount designated for such Tranche in the DOE Loan Facility. Each Tranche provides the Company funding for 80% of the Eligible Project Costs (as defined in the DOE Loan Facility) associated with the corresponding production line, with the Company responsible for funding the remaining 20% of the Eligible Project Costs.
Through December 31, 2024, the Company has received funding under the DOE Loan Facility for an aggregate amount of $68.3 million, at an interest rate of 4.791% for eligible project costs incurred through December 6, 2024. These costs are a portion of Tranche 1 of the DOE Loan Facility. Tranche 1 provides up to $102.0 million for eligible costs in connection with the design, construction, installation, startup and shakedown of a battery automation line and related tools, with a projected annual production capacity of approximately 1.25 GWh ("Line 1").
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”)
On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 into law. The IRA has significant economic incentives for both energy storage customers and manufacturers for projects placed in service after December 31, 2022. One of the most important features of the IRA is that it offers a 10-year term tax credit, whereas historically similar industrial credits have been shorter in duration. Customers placing new energy storage facilities in service, which include our Gen 2.3 and Z3™ BESS, could qualify for an investment tax credit (“ITC”). The IRA also offers an extra ten percent credit if the project is in an “energy community” and another ten percent credit if the project satisfies domestic content requirements. The ten percent bonus for domestic content could represent a strategic advantage for the Company resulting from the Company’s near-sourcing and Made in America strategy, and we believe that projects utilizing Eos batteries qualify for the bonus.
Production Tax Credits under Internal Revenue Code 45X (“PTC”) can be claimed on battery components manufactured in the U.S. and sold to U.S. or foreign customers. These tax credits available to manufacturers include a credit for ten percent of the cost incurred to make electrode active materials in addition to credits of $35 per kWh of capacity of battery cells and $10 per kWh of capacity of battery modules. These credits are cumulative, meaning that companies will be able to claim each of the available tax credits based on the battery components produced and sold through 2029, after which the PTC will begin to gradually phase down through 2032. In April 2024, the IRS issued final regulations related to applicable tax credit transferability and direct pay provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act. The Company has reviewed these regulations and believes they do not have a material impact on the financial statements.

•In January 2025, the Company successfully achieved all operational milestones that guarantees final $40.5 million under the $210.5 million Delayed Draw Term Loan to further solidify its position as a leader in American energy storage systems. Successfully meeting these performance milestones will enable the Company to fuel its ongoing operations, U.S. production expansion, and the creation of an American energy storage powerhouse, without the need to raise additional capital via debt or additional equity offerings.
•With the Delayed Draw Term Loan fully funded, combined with DOE loan facility's first disbursement in December 2024, Eos has a strong foundation and sufficient capital to continue implementing Project AMAZE. The Company is executing its strategy to scale production into strong customer demand for long duration energy storage. Cash from customer projects now play an important role in funding working capital and our American-made system can play a critical role in America achieving energy independence. The $210.5 million Delayed Draw Term Loan ("DDTL") is now fully funded, driven by the Company consistently achieving key operational milestones related to the Company’s state-of-the-art manufacturing line, raw materials cost-out, Z3 technology performance improvement and orders backlog cash conversion. The Company surpassed its January raw materials cost-out target by 6% while delivering manufacturing cycle times below 10 seconds to further demonstrate continued operational efficiency and progress.

| Revenue | $ | 15,606 | $ | 16,378 | $ | (772) | (5) | % | |||||||||||||||
The Company generates revenues from the delivery of its BESS and service-related solutions. The Company expects revenues to increase as it scales production to meet customer demand.
Revenue slightly decreased for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, due to reduced production and deliveries due to the installation of the Company’s new manufacturing line.

Cost of goods sold | $ | 98,867 | $ | 89,798 | $ | 9,069 | 10 | % | |||||||||||||||
Cost of goods sold primarily consists of direct costs relating to labor, material and overhead directly tied to product assembly, procurement and construction (“EPC”), project delivery, commissioning and start-up test procedures. Indirect costs included in cost of goods sold are manufacturing overhead such as equipment maintenance, environmental health and safety, quality and production control procurement, transportation, logistics, depreciation and facility-related costs. As a nascent technology with a new manufacturing process that is early in its product lifecycle, the Company still faces significant costs associated with production start-up, commissioning of various components, modules and subsystems and other related costs. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized $3.8 million reduction of cost of goods sold related to the IRA PTC. The Company expects its cost of goods sold to exceed revenues in the near term as it continues to scale production and prepares battery energy storage systems delivered to customers to go-live.
Cost of goods sold increased by $9.1 million, or 10% from $89.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to $98.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in cost of goods sold from 2023 to 2024 was primarily due to an increase in project commissioning costs on previously delivered projects, revaluations of inventory balances, along with the underutilization and absorption of labor and overhead associated with implementing the new line.

The Company incurred losses of $9.1 million and $7.2 million from write-downs of property, plant and equipment for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The 2023 write-downs were mainly due to replacement of equipment, outsourcing of certain production processes and the shift in production from the Gen 2.3 battery system to the Z3™ battery system. The 2024 write-downs were primarily related to design changes from the Z3™-Phase 1 to Z3™-Phase 2 production in which the Phase 1 production assets could not be utilized or repurposed for Phase 2 production. Additionally, the 2024 amount contains costs for disposal of equipment and tooling that was used for manufacturing of the Gen 2.3 battery, but cannot be repurposed for the Eos Z3 battery production.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity and Going Concern
As a growth company in the early commercialization stage of its lifecycle, Eos is subject to inherent risks and uncertainties associated with the development of an enterprise. In this regard, substantially all of the Company’s efforts to date have been devoted to the development and manufacturing of battery energy storage systems and complementary products and services, recruitment of management and technical staff, deployment of capital to expand the Company’s operations to meet customer demand and raising capital to fund the Company’s development. However, as a result of these efforts, the Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception and expects to continue to incur such losses and negative cash flows for the foreseeable future until such time that the Company can reach a scale of profitability to sustain its operations.
In order to execute its development strategy, the Company has historically relied on outside capital through the issuance of equity, debt and borrowings under financing arrangements (collectively “outside capital”) to fund its cost structure. While the Company believes its recent entry into new credit facilities as discussed below has significantly improved its capital position and provides a path to sustainable operations and profitability, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to achieve such profitability or do so in a manner that does not require additional outside capital. Moreover, while the Company has historically been successful in raising outside capital, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to continue to obtain outside capital in the future or do so on terms that are acceptable to the Company.

As disclosed in Note 3, Credit and Securities Purchase Transaction, on June 21, 2024, the Company entered into a financing transaction with CCM Denali Debt Holdings, LP, an affiliate of Cerberus Capital Management LP (herein after referred to as “Cerberus”, “Denali”, “Lender”, “Holder”). As a result of this transaction, Cerberus agreed to provide a $210.5 million secured multi-draw facility to be made in four installments (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan”) as well as a $105.0 million revolving credit facility (“Revolving Facility”), to be made available beginning June 21, 2026, at Cerberus’ sole discretion and only if the Delayed Draw Term Loan is fully funded. As of the issuance date, the Delayed Draw Term Loan was fully funded. As part of the Credit and Securities Purchase Transaction, Cerberus received warrants and preferred stock resulting in a 33% ownership position in the Company as of the issuance date. This ownership percentage represents $644.8 million in market capitalization based on the February 27, 2025 closing share price of the Company’s common stock.
As disclosed in Note 13, Borrowings, on November 26, 2024, the Company successfully closed on the DOE Loan Facility, which provides the Company with up to $303.5 million in funding, including capitalized interest, subject to the achievement of certain funding conditions. The DOE Loan Facility provides for a multi draw term loan facility under a series of at least two and, if the Company elects, up to four tranches, subject to the achievement of certain conditions, with each tranche corresponding to the production, maintenance and development, and operation of a given production line to be funded using the proceeds of such tranche. The DOE Loan Facility specifies the maximum amount subject to each tranche (Tranche 1: $102.0 million; Tranche 2: $117.3 million; Tranche 3: $71.8 million; and Tranche 4: $12.3 million), and any amounts which are not withdrawn under a specified tranche cannot be allocated to another tranche. Through December 31, 2024, the Company had drawn down $68.3 million under Tranche 1.
As of the date the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements were issued (the “issuance date”), management evaluated the significance of the following negative financial conditions in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 205-40, Going Concern:
•Since its inception, the Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash from operations in order to fund its development. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $685.9 million. Adjustments to reconcile the net loss to cash used in operations are primarily from non-cash items on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The non-cash items totaled $549.2 million. The Company incurred negative cash flows from operations of $153.9 million and had an accumulated deficit of $1,561.7 million as of December 31, 2024.
•As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $74.3 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents available to fund the Company’s operations, and working capital of $114.9 million, which includes loan commitment assets of $21.7 million classified as current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
•On June 21, 2024, upon closing of the Credit and Securities Purchase Transaction, Cerberus funded the Company $$75.0 million of the initial draw, and the Company received $71.3 million, net of the 5.0% original issue discount. On August 29, 2024, Cerberus funded the Company $30.0 million (“August Draw”), and the Company received $28.5 million, net of the 5.0% original issue discount. On November 1, 2024, Cerberus funded the Company $65.0 million related to the October 31, 2024 tranche (“October Draw” or “October Tranche”), and the Company received $61.8 million, which is net of the 5.0% original issue discount. On January 24, 2025, Cerberus funded the Company the final $40.5 million related to the January 31, 2025 tranche (“January 2025 Draw”). Subsequent to the January 2025 Draw, the Delayed Draw Term Loan has been fully funded.
•Through December 31, 2024, under the DOE Loan Facility, the Company drew down $68.3 million for the eligible project cost that the Company had incurred through December 6, 2024. These costs are a portion of Tranche 1 of the DOE Loan Facility. Tranche 1 provides up to $102.0 million for eligible costs in connection with the design, construction, installation, startup and shakedown of a battery automation line and related tools. In the event the Company does not achieve certain funding conditions and the DOE chooses not to continue funding, the Company would need to seek alternative sources of capital, which may not be available on favorable terms or at all.
44
•The Credit and Securities Purchase Transaction and the DOE Loan Facility contain certain quarterly financial covenants, which include (a) Minimum Liquidity, (b) Minimum Consolidated EBITDA, and (c) Minimum Consolidated Revenue (collectively, the “financial covenants”). As of the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2024, the only financial covenant in effect was Minimum Liquidity. As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with this covenant, as well as all non-financial covenants and expects to remain in compliance with the Minimum Liquidity covenant over the next twelve month beyond the issuance date. The Minimum Consolidated EBITDA and Minimum Consolidated Revenue financial covenants are effective starting fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, the Company expects that it may be unable to remain in compliance with the Minimum Consolidated EBITDA and Minimum Consolidated Revenue financial covenant beginning December 31, 2025, absent the Company’s ability to secure a waiver or amend the Credit and Securities Purchase Transaction and the DOE Loan Facility. In the event the Company is unable to comply with the financial and non-financial covenants as of December 31, 2025, and the Company is unable to secure a waiver, Cerberus and DOE may, at their discretion, enter into a forbearance agreement with the Company and/or exercise any and all of their existing rights and remedies, which may include, among other things, asserting their rights in the Company’s assets securing the loans. Moreover, the Company’s other lenders may exercise similar rights and remedies under the cross-default provisions of their respective borrowing agreements with the Company.
•In the event the Company’s ongoing efforts to raise additional outside capital are unsuccessful, the Company will be unable to meet its obligations as they come due over the next twelve month beyond the issuance date. In such an event, management will be required to seek other strategic alternatives, which may include, among others, a significant curtailment in the Company’s operations, a sale of certain of the Company’s assets, a sale of the entire Company to strategic or financial investors and/or allowing the Company to become insolvent.
These uncertainties raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates that the Company will be able to realize assets and settle liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Financing Arrangements
The Company has historically relied on outside capital to fund its cost structure and expects this reliance to continue for the foreseeable future until the Company reaches profitability through its planned revenue generating activities. During 2024, the Company closed on the following capital transactions:
•Under the ATM offering program, for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company sold 16,627,523 shares raising proceeds of $14.1 million, net of fees paid to Cowen, at an average selling price of $0.87 per share.
•The Company secured a strategic investment of up to $315.5 million from Cerberus. The investment by Cerberus is structured as a $210.5 million Delayed Draw Term Loan to be made in four installments. On June 21, 2024 the first installment of $75.0 million was funded, on August 29, 2024, the second draw of $30.0 million was funded, on October 31, 2024 the third draw of $65.0 million was funded, and on January 24, 2025, the final draw of $40.5 million was funded. As part of the strategic investment, a $105.0 million Revolving Facility can be made available to the Company at the Lenders’ sole discretion and only if the Delayed Draw Term Loan is fully funded.
45
•On November 26, 2024, the Company entered into the DOE Loan Facility which provides for an aggregate principal amount of up to $277.5 million of borrowings and an aggregate capitalized interest of up to $26.0 million. Through December 31, 2024, the Company has drawn down $68.3 million under the DOE Loan Facility, at an interest rate of 4.791% for eligible project costs that the Company has incurred through December 6, 2024. These costs are a portion of Tranche 1 of the DOE Loan Facility, which are related to Line 1. Additional draws under the DOE Loan Facility are subject to our achievement of certain funding conditions, with each Tranche corresponding to the production, maintenance and development, and operation of a given production line to be funded using the proceeds of such Tranche and the principal amount of each Tranche consisting of a maximum principal amount designated for such Tranche in the DOE Loan Facility. Each Tranche provides the Company funding for 80% of the Eligible Project Costs (as defined in the DOE Loan Facility) associated with the corresponding production line, with the Company responsible for funding the remaining 20% of the Project Costs.
See Note 13, Borrowings, and Note 20, Shareholders' Equity for all of the Company’s outstanding debt and equity transactions.
Capital Expenditures
Although the Company expects capital expenditures and working capital requirements to increase as it seeks to execute its growth strategy, total capital expenditures for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $33.2 million and $29.3 million, respectively. The increase in capital expenditures in 2024 was primarily driven by costs incurred for Phase 2 production of the Z3™ battery system. See Note 7, Property, Plant and Equipment for further discussion.
Discussion and Analysis of Cash Flows
The Company relies heavily on private placement of convertible notes, term loans, equipment financing and issuance of common stock and warrants. Our short-term working capital needs are primarily related to funding of debt interest payments, repayment of debt principal, product manufacturing, research and development, and general corporate expenses. The Company’s long-term working capital needs are primarily related to repayment of long-term debt obligations and capital expenses for capacity expansion and maintenance, equipment upgrades and repair of equipment.
The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the periods presented.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing our Consolidated Financial Statements, we make assumptions, judgments, and estimates on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We regularly reevaluate our assumptions, judgments, and estimates.
Critical accounting estimates are those estimates that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and could have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
Warranty Liability
The Company generally provides a standard warranty for a period of two years. We also provide extended warranties and performance guarantees, which are identified as separate performance obligations in the Company's contracts with customers. We accrue warranty reserves at the time of recording the sale. Warranty reserves include management’s best estimate of the projected costs to repair or to replace any items under warranty, which is based on various factors including actual claim data to date, results of lab testing, factory quality data, and field monitoring. Due to limited claim experience since commercialization of our product, and the potential for variability in these underlying factors, the difference between our estimated costs and our actual costs could be material to our Consolidated Financial Statements. If actual product failure rates or the frequency or severity of reported claims differ from our estimates, we may be required to revise our estimated warranty liability. We will also update actual warranty experience to determine warranty reserves as such experience becomes available. We review our reserves at least quarterly, seeking to ensure that our accruals are adequate in meeting expected future warranty obligations, and we will adjust our estimates as needed. Initial warranty data can be limited at the early stage in the commercialization of our products and, the adjustments that we record may be material. Thus, it is likely that as we sell additional BESS, we will acquire additional information on the projected costs to repair or replace items under warranty and may need to make additional adjustments (See Note 10, Accrued Expenses to our Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report).
Warrants Liability
The Company estimated the fair value of the April 2023 warrants, the May 2023 warrants, and the December 2023 warrants using the Black-Scholes model at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. This model incorporates inputs such as the stock price of the Company, exercise price, risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, and time to expiration. The expected volatility involves unobservable inputs classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The sensitivity of the fair value calculation to this assumption could create materially different results under different conditions or using different assumptions. See Note 16, Fair Value Measurement to our Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
48
Convertible Notes and Embedded Derivatives
The Company estimated the fair value of the embedded conversion features in the 2021 Convertible Notes and the AFG Convertible Notes using a binomial lattice model at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. This model incorporates inputs such as the stock price of the Company, dividend yield, risk-free interest rate, the effective debt yield and expected volatility. The effective debt yield and volatility involve unobservable inputs classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The sensitivity of the fair value calculation to these methods, assumptions, and estimates included could create materially different results under different conditions or using different assumptions. See Note 16, Fair Value Measurements to our Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Instruments issued under the Credit and Securities Purchase Transaction (see Note 16, Fair Value Measurement)
The fair value of the Delayed Draw Term Loan was estimated using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method, based on the contractual cash flows discounted at an effective debt yield. The fair value of the loan commitment asset was estimated using the discounted cash flow model, based on the contractual cash flows discounted at the effective debt yield and considering the probability of achieving certain milestones. The fair value for the SPA Warrant is estimated based on its intrinsic value, using the Eos common stock closing price adjusted by a discount for lack of marketability (“DLOM”), less the exercise price of $0.01 for the SPA Warrant. A DLOM was applied considering the underlying shares of the SPA Warrants are unregistered. The fair value of the Contingent Warrants is estimated based on the underlying Eos common stock closing price adjusted by a DLOM using a Black-Scholes model, considering the probability of achieving certain milestones. A DLOM was applied considering the underlying shares of the Contingent Warrants are unregistered. The fair values for all these instruments are designated as level 3 measurements as they rely on significant unobservable inputs. The significant unobservable inputs for each of these instruments are detailed in Note 16, Fair Value Measurement), which include debt yield, DLOM, and milestones achievement expectations. The sensitivity of the fair value calculation to debt yield, DLOM, and milestones achievement expectations could create materially different results under different conditions or using different assumptions.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk arises from the general funding needs of the Company's activities and in the management of the Company's assets and liabilities. Our exposure to liquidity risk is dependent on our ability to raise funds to meet our obligations and sustain operations. We manage liquidity risk by continuously monitoring our actual and forecasted working capital requirements to ensure there is capital to meet short-term, long-term obligations, including our financial covenants under the DOE Loan Facility and Credit and Securities Purchase Transaction (see Note 13, Borrowings to our Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report). As disclosed in Note 1, Overview to our Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report, there is a substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In order to execute its development strategy, the Company has historically relied on outside capital to fund its cost structure and expects to continue to rely on outside capital for the foreseeable future. While the Company believes it will eventually reach a scale of profitability to sustain its operations, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to achieve such profitability or do so in a manner that does not require its continued reliance on outside capital. Moreover, while the Company has historically been successful in raising outside capital, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to continue to obtain outside capital in the future or do so on terms that are acceptable to the Company.
Equity Price Risk
Equity price risk arises from security price volatility. The Company is subject to this risk due to the warrants issued, since they are measured at fair value. See Note 16, Fair Value Measurement for warrant valuations and fair values, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows, for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and may be unable to remain in compliance with financial covenants required by borrowing arrangements absent the Company’s ability to secure additional outside capital or obtain a waiver, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
52
Convertible Notes Payable and Warrants Liability - Refer to Notes 13, 14 and 16 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company’s 2021 Convertible Notes and AFG Convertible Notes (collectively “the Convertible Notes”) contain embedded conversion features that are required to be bifurcated from the Convertible Notes and measured at fair value at each reporting period. The Company estimates the fair value of the embedded conversion features using a binomial lattice model at the inception and on subsequent valuation dates. This model incorporates inputs such as the stock price of the Company, dividend yield, risk-free interest rate, the effective debt yield, and expected volatility. The effective debt yield and the expected volatility involve unobservable inputs.
The Company’s April 2023 Transaction, May 2023 Transaction, and the December 2023 Public Offering include warrants that are required to be measured at fair value at each reporting period. The Company estimates the fair value of the warrants using a Black-Scholes model at the inception and on subsequent valuation dates. This model incorporates inputs such as the stock price of the Company, exercise price, risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, and time to expiration. The expected volatility involves unobservable inputs.
Unlike the fair value of financial instruments that are readily observable and therefore more easily independently corroborated, the valuation of the embedded conversion features and warrants is inherently subjective and involves the use of complex modeling tools. Auditing the fair value of the embedded conversion features and warrants requires a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the valuation of the (1) embedded conversion features in the Convertible Notes and (2) warrants included the following, among others:
•With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of management’s valuation methodology and the significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of the embedded conversion features and warrants by:
◦Testing the source information underlying the fair value of the embedded conversion features and the warrants and the mathematical accuracy of the calculations.
◦Developing an independent estimate of the inputs and compared those to the inputs used in the fair value of the embedded conversion features and warrants.
•We evaluated the competency and objectivity of management’s expert engaged by the Company to perform the valuation of the embedded conversion features and warrants.
Financial Instruments Associated with the Credit and Securities Purchase Transaction - Refer to Notes 3, 13, 14 and 16 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
On June 21, 2024, the Company entered into a (1) credit and guaranty agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with CCM Denali Debt Holdings, LP, and (2) Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with CCM Denali Equity Holdings, LP (collectively, CCM Denali Debt Holdings, LP and CCM Denali Equity Holdings, LP referred to as “Cerberus”) (collectively, the Credit Agreement and the SPA referred to as “Cerberus Agreements”).
In conjunction with the Cerberus Agreements, the Company also entered into a payoff letter agreement with ACP Post Oak Credit I LLC and other Atlas Lenders to settle all outstanding obligations under the Atlas Credit Agreement, which were deemed paid and satisfied in full.
53
Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, Cerberus agreed to provide a (1) $210.5 million secured multi-draw facility to be made in four installments (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan”) upon the achievement of certain performance milestones on dates specified in the Credit Agreement, and (2) $105.0 million revolving credit facility, to be made available beginning June 21, 2026, at Cerberus’ sole discretion and only if the Delayed Draw Term Loan is fully funded.
Under the terms of the SPA, the Company issued the following (1) a warrant to purchase 43,276,194 shares of Common Stock (the “SPA Warrant”), (2) 59 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, and (3) upon the achievement of performance milestones on dates specified in the Credit Agreement, the Company issued at the option of Cerberus, preferred stock or warrants on common stock, up to an aggregate of 33.0% ownership limitation on a fully diluted basis at such time the Delayed Draw Term Loan is fully drawn (the “Contingent Warrants”). The Contingent Warrants were settled in Preferred Stock upon the successful funding of the Delayed Draw Term Loan on dates specified in the Credit Agreement.
Auditing the accounting for the instruments issued under the Cerberus Agreements, and the settlement of the obligations under the Atlas Credit Agreement, requires a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve professionals in our firm with expertise in financial instruments.
The Credit Agreement contains loan commitment assets, which are required to be measured at fair value upon inception (June 21, 2024), with no subsequent remeasurement. The Company estimates the fair value of the loan commitment asset using the discounted cash flow model, based on the contractual cash flows discounted at the effective debt yield and considering the probability of achieving certain milestones. The milestone achievement expectations and the effective debt yield involve unobservable inputs.
The Company estimates the fair value of the debt issued under the Delayed Draw Term Loan at inception and on subsequent valuation dates using a discounted cash flow method, based on the contractual cash flows discounted at the effective debt yield. The effective debt yield involves unobservable inputs.
The Company estimates the fair value for the SPA warrant issued under the Securities Purchase Agreement at inception and on subsequent valuation dates based on its intrinsic value, using the Company’s common stock closing price adjusted by a discount for lack of marketability (“DLOM”), less the exercise price. The DLOM involves unobservable inputs.
The Company estimates the fair value of the Contingent Warrants issued under the Securities Purchase Agreement at inception and on subsequent valuation dates based on the Company’s common stock closing price adjusted by a DLOM using Black-Scholes option pricing model, considering the probability of achieving certain milestones. The milestone achievement expectations, the expected volatility, and the DLOM involve unobservable inputs.
Unlike the fair value of financial instruments that are readily observable and therefore more easily independently corroborated, the valuation of the financial instruments associated with the Cerberus Agreements is inherently subjective and involves the use of complex modeling tools. Auditing the fair value of the financial instruments associated with the Cerberus Agreements requires a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the (1) accounting of the instruments issued under the Cerberus Agreements, and the settlement of the obligations under the Atlas Credit Agreement, and (2) valuation of the financial instruments associated with the Cerberus Agreements included the following, among others:
•With the assistance of professionals in our firm with expertise in financial instruments, we evaluated the appropriateness of management’s accounting conclusions related to (1) the financial instruments issued under the Cerberus Agreements, and (2) the settlement of the obligations under the Atlas Credit Agreement.
•With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of management’s valuation methodology and the significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of the financial instruments issued under the Cerberus Agreements by:
54
◦Testing the source information underlying the fair value of the financial instruments issued under the Cerberus Agreements and the mathematical accuracy of the calculations.
◦Developing an independent estimate of the inputs and compared those to the inputs used in the fair value of the financial instruments issued under the Cerberus Agreements.
•We evaluated the competency and objectivity of management’s expert engaged by the Company to perform the accounting and valuation of the financial instruments associated with the Cerberus Agreements, and the settlement of the obligations under the Atlas Credit Agreement.

1. Overview
Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and “Eos”) designs, develops, manufactures, and markets innovative energy storage solutions for utility-scale, microgrid, and commercial & industrial (“C&I”) applications. Eos 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). The Company has only one
Liquidity and Going Concern
As a growth company in the early commercialization stage of its lifecycle, Eos is subject to inherent risks and uncertainties associated with the development of an enterprise. In this regard, substantially all of the Company’s efforts to date have been devoted to the development and manufacturing of battery energy storage systems and complementary products and services, recruitment of management and technical staff, deployment of capital to expand the Company’s operations to meet customer demand and raising capital to fund the Company’s development. However, as a result of these efforts, the Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception and expects to continue to incur such losses and negative cash flows for the foreseeable future until such time that the Company can reach a scale of profitability to sustain its operations.
In order to execute its development strategy, the Company has historically relied on outside capital through the issuance of equity, debt and borrowings under financing arrangements (collectively “outside capital”) to fund its cost structure. While the Company believes its recent entry into new credit facilities as discussed below has significantly improved its capital position and provides a path to sustainable operations and profitability, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to achieve such profitability or do so in a manner that does not require additional outside capital. Moreover, while the Company has historically been successful in raising outside capital, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to continue to obtain outside capital in the future or do so on terms that are acceptable to the Company.
As disclosed in Note 3, Credit and Securities Purchase Transaction, on June 21, 2024, the Company entered into a financing transaction with CCM Denali Debt Holdings, LP, an affiliate of Cerberus Capital Management LP (herein after referred to as “Cerberus”, “Denali”, “Lender”, “Holder”). As a result of this transaction, Cerberus agreed to provide a $210,500 secured multi-draw facility to be made in four installments (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan”) as well as a $105,000 revolving credit facility (“Revolving Facility”), to be made available beginning June 21, 2026, at Cerberus’ sole discretion and only if the Delayed Draw Term Loan is fully funded. As of the issuance date, the Delayed Draw Term Loan was fully funded. As part of the Credit and Securities Purchase Transaction, Cerberus received warrants and preferred stock resulting in a 33 % ownership position in the Company as of the issuance date. This ownership percentage represents $644,823 in market capitalization based on the February 27, 2025 closing share price of the Company’s common stock.
As disclosed in Note 13, Borrowings, on November 26, 2024, the Company successfully closed on the DOE Loan Facility, which provides the Company with up to $303,450 in funding, including capitalized interest, subject to the achievement of certain funding conditions. The DOE Loan Facility provides for a multi draw term loan facility under a series of at least two and, if the Company elects, up to four tranches, subject to the achievement of certain conditions, with each tranche corresponding to the production, maintenance and development, and operation of a given production line to be funded using the proceeds of such tranche. The DOE Loan Facility specifies the maximum amount subject to each tranche (Tranche 1: $101,979 ; Tranche 2: $117,326 ; Tranche 3: $71,836 ; and Tranche 4: $12,309 ), and any amounts which are not withdrawn under a specified tranche cannot be allocated to another tranche. Through December 31, 2024, the Company had drawn down $68,279 under Tranche 1.
As of the date the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements were issued (the “issuance date”), management evaluated the significance of the following negative financial conditions in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 205-40, Going Concern:

1. Overview (cont.)
•Since its inception, the Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash from operations in order to fund its development. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $685,870 . Adjustments to reconcile the net loss to cash used in operations are primarily from non-cash items on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The non-cash items totaled $549,174 . The Company incurred negative cash flows from operations of $153,936 and had an accumulated deficit of $1,561,716 as of December 31, 2024.
•As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $74,292 of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents available to fund the Company’s operations, and working capital of $114,937 , which includes loan commitment assets of $21,731 classified as current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
•On June 21, 2024, upon closing of the Credit and Securities Purchase Transaction, Cerberus funded the Company $75,000 of the initial draw, and the Company received $71,250 , net of the 5.0 % original issue discount. On August 29, 2024, Cerberus funded the Company $30,000 (“August Draw”), and the Company received $28,500 , net of the 5.0 % original issue discount. On November 1, 2024, Cerberus funded the Company $65,000 related to the October 31, 2024 tranche (“October Draw” or “October Tranche”), and the Company received $61,750 , which is net of the 5.0 % original issue discount. On January 24, 2025, Cerberus funded the Company the final $40,500 related to the January 31, 2025 tranche (“January 2025 Draw”). Subsequent to the January 2025 Draw, the Delayed Draw Term Loan has been fully funded.
•Through December 31, 2024, under the DOE Loan Facility, the Company drew down $68,279 for the eligible project cost that the Company had incurred through December 6, 2024. These costs are a portion of Tranche 1 of the DOE Loan Facility. Tranche 1 provides up to $101,979 for eligible costs in connection with the design, construction, installation, startup and shakedown of a battery automation line and related tools. In the event the Company does not achieve certain funding conditions and the DOE chooses not to continue funding, the Company would need to seek alternative sources of capital, which may not be available on favorable terms or at all.
•The Credit and Securities Purchase Transaction and the DOE Loan Facility contain certain quarterly financial covenants, which include (a) Minimum Liquidity, (b) Minimum Consolidated EBITDA, and (c) Minimum Consolidated Revenue (collectively, the “financial covenants”). As of the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2024, the only financial covenant in effect was Minimum Liquidity. As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with this covenant, as well as all non-financial covenants and expects to remain in compliance with the Minimum Liquidity covenant over the next twelve month beyond the issuance date. The Minimum Consolidated EBITDA and Minimum Consolidated Revenue financial covenants are effective starting fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, the Company expects that it may be unable to remain in compliance with the Minimum Consolidated EBITDA and Minimum Consolidated Revenue financial covenant beginning December 31, 2025, absent the Company’s ability to secure a waiver or amend the Credit and Securities Purchase Transaction and the DOE Loan Facility. In the event the Company is unable to comply with the financial and non-financial covenants as of December 31, 2025, and the Company is unable to secure a waiver, Cerberus and DOE may, at their discretion, enter into a forbearance agreement with the Company and/or exercise any and all of their existing rights and remedies, which may include, among other things, asserting their rights in the Company’s assets securing the loans. Moreover, the Company’s other lenders may exercise similar rights and remedies under the cross-default provisions of their respective borrowing agreements with the Company.
•In the event the Company’s ongoing efforts to raise additional outside capital are unsuccessful, the Company will be unable to meet its obligations as they come due over the next twelve month beyond the issuance date. In such an event, management will be required to seek other strategic alternatives, which may include, among others, a significant curtailment in the Company’s operations, a sale of certain of the Company’s assets, a sale of the entire Company to strategic or financial investors and/or allowing the Company to become insolvent.

1. Overview (cont.)
These uncertainties raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue to operate as a going concern, which contemplates that the Company will be able to realize assets and settle liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation
Foreign Currency
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries use the local currency of their respective countries as their functional currency. The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The operating results of foreign operations are translated at weighted average exchange rates. The related translation gains or losses are reported as a separate component of shareholders’ deficit in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions, which were insignificant for years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, are included as other expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Allowance for Expected Credit Losses
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value.

Embedded derivatives
Some of our debt and preferred stock financings contain embedded features, such as conversion features and redemption features. The Company evaluates each agreement to determine whether the embedded feature requires bifurcation from the host instrument, in which case would require to be accounted for as a derivative liability. The Company uses valuation models to estimate the fair value of the embedded derivatives. The change in fair value of the embedded derivatives is presented separately on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Earnings (loss) Per Share
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, contract assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, warrants, notes payable — related party, contract liabilities, and long-term debt.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, contract assets, contract liabilities and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Goodwill
Goodwill consists of the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment each year using a qualitative or quantitative process that is performed at least annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate a likely reduction in the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
Prior to performing a quantitative evaluation, an assessment of qualitative factors may be performed to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value. If it is determined that it is unlikely that the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the Company is not required to complete the quantitative goodwill impairment evaluation. If it is determined that the carrying value may exceed fair value when considering qualitative factors, a quantitative goodwill impairment evaluation is performed. When performing the quantitative evaluation, if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss equal to the difference will be recorded.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Income Taxes and Deferred Taxes
The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740"). Income taxes are computed under the asset and liability method reflecting both current and deferred taxes, which reflect the tax impact of all events included in the financial statements. The balance sheet approach (i) reflects a current tax liability or asset recognized for estimated taxes payable or refundable on tax returns for the current and prior years, (ii) reflects a deferred tax liability or asset recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards, (iii) measures current and deferred tax liabilities and assets using the enacted tax rate of which the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated, and (iv) reduces deferred tax assets, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets only to the extent that management concludes these assets are more-likely-than-not to be realized. Significant judgement is required in assessing and estimating the more-likely-than-not tax consequences of the events included in the financial statements. Management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations.
Intangible Assets, net
Intangible assets are stated at their historical cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives.
Inventory

EOS ENERGY ENTERPRISES, INC. | ||
| NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | ||
| (In thousands, except share and per share amounts) | ||
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is computed using standard cost which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company records inventory when it takes delivery and title to the product according to the terms of each supply contract.
The Company evaluates its ending inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence. A valuation allowance is recorded for inventories that management considers excess or obsolete. Management considers forecasted demand in relation to the inventory on hand, competitiveness of product offerings, market conditions and product life cycles when determining excess and obsolescence and net realizable value adjustments. Once inventory is written down and a new cost basis is established, it is not written back up if demand increases.
Leases
The Company accounts for its leases under ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”). Under ASC 842, the right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The discount rate used to calculate the present value represents our collateralized incremental borrowing rate and is calculated based on the treasury yield curve that is commensurate with the term of each lease, and a spread representative of our borrowing costs. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Leases may be classified as either operating leases or finance leases. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are excluded from the scope of ROU assets and liabilities, as allowed by ASC 842.
The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. The Company has elected the practical expedient to account for non-lease components as part of the lease component for all asset classes. The majority of the Company's lease agreements are real estate leases.
Property, Plant and Equipment, net
Equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the improvements or the life of the lease. Maintenance and repair expenditures are expensed as incurred. Expenditures which significantly improve or extend the life of an asset are capitalized.
Construction in Progress
Included in property, plant, and equipment is construction in progress. Costs related to the design, development, and construction of large capital projects are accumulated in construction in progress until the project is complete. A construction project is considered substantially complete upon the cessation of construction and development activities. Once the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use these costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the asset's estimated useful life. A portion of construction in progress also includes capitalized interest. Interest costs incurred during construction of large capital projects are capitalized as construction in progress until the underlying asset is ready for its intended use, at which point the interest costs are amortized as depreciation expense over the life of the underlying asset. Interest is capitalized using a weighted average effective interest rate applicable to borrowings outstanding during the period to which it is applied.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, which include materials, supplies, salaries, benefits and other costs related to research, development and testing of products.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is earned from the sales, installation, and commissioning of BESS, the terms of which are dictated by supply agreements the Company enters into with its customers. Revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods and/or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods and/or services to the customer. As most contracts contain multiple goods or services delivered to the customer at different times, the transaction price is allocated to each good or service based on the relative standalone selling price and revenue is recognized when or as the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company uses either the expected cost-plus margin approach or adjusted market assessment approach to estimate the standalone selling prices of its goods and services.
Product Revenue
Product revenue is comprised of revenue from the BESS, along with other products, including marshalling cabinets, spare parts, transformers and inverters. It is recognized when control transfers, as determined by the specific terms outlined in each contract. If not specifically defined in the contract, the timing around the transfer of control is based on the shipping terms, which vary by contract, but are generally either Delivered-at-Place ("DAP") Destination or Exworks. Many of the Company’s contracts with customers contain some component of variable consideration. The Company estimates variable consideration, such as refunds, penalties including liquidated damages, and the customer’s right to return, using the expected value method, and adjusts transaction price for its estimate of variable consideration. We update our estimates of variable consideration and adjust the transaction price accordingly by recording an adjustment to net revenue and refund liability with respect to variable consideration such as penalties, refunds, and credits to customers. The Company has concluded that its estimation of variable consideration results in an adjustment to the transaction price such that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue would not occur in the future.
Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold. Sales tax collected from customers are recorded on a net basis and therefore, not included in revenue. Sales tax is recorded as a liability (payable) until remitted to governmental authorities.
Service Revenue
Service revenue includes commissioning, installation and engineering, procurement and construction revenue. As the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s performance, these performance obligations are satisfied over time. The Company uses an input method to measure progress towards satisfaction. If at any time management determines that in the case of a particular contract total costs will exceed total contract revenue, a provision for the entire anticipated contract loss is recorded at that time.
Warranty related revenue
In addition to a standard two-year limited warranty against defects, the Company offers customers the option to purchase an extended warranty, a maintenance and monitoring service and/or a performance guarantee. As the standard two-year limited warranty is classified as an assurance-type warranty, based on criteria set forth in ASC 606, it is not accounted for as a separate performance obligation. The extended warranty, maintenance and monitoring service warranty and performance guarantee, however, represent distinct services and are accounted for as separate performance obligations based on a time-lapsed measure of progress resulting in a ratable recognition of revenue over the respective performance period. For these performance obligations, at any time if management determines that in the case of a particular warranty that total costs will exceed total warranty revenue, a provision for the entire anticipated warranty loss is recorded at that time and included in warranty liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
The Company recognizes contract assets for certain contracts in which revenue recognition performance obligations have been satisfied, however invoicing to the customer has not yet occurred. Contract liabilities primarily relate to consideration received from customers in advance of the Company’s satisfying performance obligations under contractual arrangements. Contract balances are reported in a net contract asset or liability position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Payment terms are generally aligned with meeting various contractual milestones, beginning with purchase order execution and extending through manufacturing release, ready to ship, delivery and commissioning.
Practical Expedients and Exemptions
As permitted by ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company elected to use certain practical expedients.
•The Company treats costs associated with obtaining new contracts as expenses when incurred if the amortization period of the asset recognized by the Company is one year or less.
•The Company has elected to exclude sales and other similar taxes from the transaction price.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company's stock-based compensation expense consists of:
•Stock options.
•Restricted stock units awards ("RSU").
•Performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSU”).
•Performance-based milestone awards ("Milestone PRSU").
Stock-based compensation is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period of the award. For stock option awards, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value. For RSUs and Milestone PRSUs, the Company uses the Company's stock price on date of grant to estimate fair value. For PRSUs, the fair value is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation in an option pricing framework.
The Company recognizes compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the award vesting period. Stock options generally have a term of to ten years and vest over periods ranging from three months to two years . RSUs generally vest over periods from to three years . PRSUs generally vest over to three years . For PRSUs and Milestone PRSUs, stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis based on management’s estimation of achievement of performance conditions (see Note 18, Stock Based Compensation for further discussion). The Company recognizes forfeitures as incurred.
Warranty liability
Series A and B Preferred Stock
As discussed in Note 3, Credit and Securities Purchase Transaction, the Company issued shares of (1) Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series A-2 Preferred Stock (collectively "Series A Preferred Stock") in June 2024 and August 2024, respectively, which were subsequently converted into shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock and Series B-2

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
Preferred Stock, respectively, in September 2024, and (2) Series B-3 Preferred Stock in November 2024 (collectively, with the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-2 Preferred Stock and Series B-3 Preferred Stock, the “Series B Preferred Stock” and together with Series A Preferred Stock, “the Preferred Stock”). The Preferred Stock is redeemable based upon the passage of time and therefore meets the criteria to be classified within temporary equity. Management has elected to recognize changes in the redemption value pursuant to ASC 480-10-S99-3A-15(b). As a result, the Company will remeasure the Preferred Stock to the maximum redemption value at each reporting date but will never be adjusted below its initial carrying value. Adjustments are reflected in Additional paid in capital on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Production Tax Credits under Internal Revenue Code 45X (“PTC”)
Since the PTC is a refundable credit (i.e., a credit with a direct-pay option available), the PTC is outside the scope of ASC 740. Therefore, the Company accounts for the PTC under a government grant model. GAAP does not address the accounting for government grants received by a business entity that are outside the scope of ASC 740. The Company’s accounting policy is to analogize to IAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, under IFRS Accounting Standards. Under IAS 20, once it is reasonably assured that the entity will comply with the conditions of the grant, the grant money is recognized on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognizes the related expenses or losses for which the grant money is intended to compensate. The Company recognizes grants once it is probable that both of the following conditions will be met: (1) the Company is eligible to receive the grant and (2) the Company is able to comply with the relevant conditions of the grant. The PTC is a non-monetary asset since the Company’s intention is to sell the tax credit to a third-party and is recorded at the value that is expected to be received from the sale in Grant Receivable, net on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and is subsequently recognized in Cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss when the inventory is sold. In the event the PTC is sold, upon the receipt of the cash payments, the Company will record offsets to Grant Receivable, net. Differences in the recorded value of the PTC and the sale price will be recognized as an adjustment to cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Fair Value Option
The Company has elected the option under ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments ("ASC 825"), to measure the Delayed Draw Term Loan, including all tranches of fundings received in 2024 (see Note 3, Credit and Securities Purchase Transaction) at fair value. The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs. When the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for such instrument is reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss at each subsequent reporting date. Upfront costs and fees related to items for which the fair value option is elected shall be recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred. These amounts are included in Other expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The gains or losses attributable to changes in instrument-specific risk are included in Change in fair value of debt – credit risk in Accumulated other comprehensive Loss.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Agreements - Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. This amendment will impact various disclosure areas, including the statement of cash flows, accounting changes and error corrections, earnings per share, debt, equity, derivatives, and transfers of financial assets. The amendments in this ASU 2023-06 will be effective on the date the related disclosures are removed from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K by the SEC, and will no longer be effective if the SEC has not removed the applicable disclosure requirement by June 30, 2027. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact this amendment could have on its disclosures.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires an entity, even one with only one reportable segment, to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis, and provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Additionally, it requires an entity to disclose the title and position of the chief operating decision maker. ASU 2023-07 does not change how an entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates them or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2023-07 retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 as of December 31, 2024. See Note 22, Segment Reporting for further discussion.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires additional disclosures related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and taxes paid. The amendment is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and the Company does not anticipate a material change in the financial statements and related disclosure.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40).

This update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, though early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact this amendment could have on its financial statements and disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments. The amendments in this update clarify the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as induced conversions rather than as debt extinguishments. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years, though early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact this amendment could have on its financial statements and disclosures.
There were no other accounting standards or updates during the year ended December 31, 2024 that had a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

3. Credit and Securities Purchase Transaction (cont.)
On November 26, 2024, the Company amended the Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”), by and among the Company, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries as guarantors party thereto and the Lender, pursuant to which among other things, the applicability of the Consolidated Revenue and EBITDA financial covenants were deferred until December 31, 2025 and certain provisions were amended to conform with comparable provisions in the DOE Loan Facility. See Note 13, Borrowings, for further discussion.
Securities Purchase Agreement
On June 21, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with CCM Denali Equity Holdings, LP (the “Purchaser”).
SPA Warrant
Under the SPA, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 43,276,194 shares of common stock representing a collective ownership of 19.9 % (the “SPA Warrant”) of our outstanding shares of (inclusive of Series A-1 Preferred Stock – see below) common stock prior to the issuance. The SPA Warrant has a ten-year term and an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The SPA Warrant includes anti-dilutive rights, subject to certain excluded issuances, in the event any shares of common stock, options, warrants, convertible securities or other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in common stock are issued at a price per share of less than the fair market value (as defined in the Warrant) of a share of common stock on the issuance date of the Warrant, subject to adjustment. Until the Company received stockholder approval on September 10, 2024, the Company could not issue additional shares of common stock exceeding 19.99 % of shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the date of the Initial Draw (such percentage, as may be adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Warrant, the “Conversion Cap”) upon exercise of the Warrant, and would have been required to issue, at the option of the Lender, Series A Preferred Stock or additional warrants on common stock upon a draw under the Delayed Draw Term Loan. Following shareholder approval received, the Conversion Cap increased to 49.9 % of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the applicable measurement date; and the holder of the Warrant has the option to amend the Conversion Cap to any percentage less than 49.9 %.
The SPA Warrant is exercisable at the holder’s discretion for cash or on a cashless basis. The SPA Warrant is subject to automatic cashless exercise on the expiration date if the fair market value of one share is greater than the exercise price then in effect. Upon an acceleration under the Credit Agreement, the Company may be required to purchase the SPA Warrant from the holder at an amount equal to the closing sale price of underlying common stock less the SPA Warrant exercise price at the request of the holder. The SPA Warrant meets the criteria for liability classification under ASC 480 and is recognized at fair value with changes in fair value included in Change in fair value of derivatives - related parties in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Contingent Warrants
Upon the achievement of performance milestones on dates specified in the Credit Agreement, the Company received additional funds and issued at the option of the Lender, Preferred Stock (Series A Preferred Stock, if prior to shareholder approval or Series B Preferred Stock if after shareholder approval) or warrants on common stock (collectively “Contingent Warrants”) under the SPA in an amount equal to the applicable percentage, up to an aggregate of 33.0 % ownership limitation on a fully diluted basis at such time the Delayed Draw Term Loan is fully drawn. The applicable percentage is subject to increase by up to 8.0 % to up to 41.0 % on a fully diluted basis to the extent that milestones are not met on the final measurement date on April 30, 2025, in which case additional Contingent Warrants would be issuable. The Contingent Warrants meet the criteria for liability classification under ASC 480. As such, the Contingent Warrants are included in Warrants liability - related party on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value as of December 31, 2024. The change in fair value of the Contingent warrants is included in Change in fair value of derivatives - related parties on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. See Note 14, Warrants Liability, for further discussion of the SPA Warrant and Contingent Warrants.

11. Government Grants
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”)
On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 into law. The IRA has significant economic incentives for both energy storage customers and manufacturers for projects placed in service after December 31, 2022. Starting in 2023, there are PTCs, which can be claimed on battery components manufactured in the U.S. and sold to U.S. or foreign customers. The tax credits available to manufacturers include a credit for ten percent of the cost incurred to make electrode active materials in addition to credits of $35 per kWh of capacity of battery cells and $10 per kWh of capacity of battery modules. These credits are cumulative, meaning that companies will be able to claim each of the available tax credits based on the battery components produced and sold through 2029, after which the PTC will begin to gradually phase down through 2032.
In April 2024, the Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued final regulations (Final Regulations) on the transferability of certain energy tax credits, pursuant to Section 6418 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which was enacted as part of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The Company has reviewed these regulations and believes they do not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

11. Government Grants (cont.)
In October 2024, the Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued final regulations (Final Regulations) to provide guidance on the PTC established by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The company has reviewed these regulations and believes they do not have a material impact on the financial statements.
Since the PTC is a refundable credit (i.e., a credit with a direct-pay option available), the PTC is outside the scope of ASC 740. Therefore, the Company accounts for the PTC under a government grant model. GAAP does not address the accounting for government grants received by a business entity that are outside the scope of ASC 740. The Company’s accounting policy is to analogize to IAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, under IFRS Accounting Standards. Under IAS 20, once it is reasonably assured that the entity will comply with the conditions of the grant, the grant money is recognized on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognizes the related expenses or losses for which the grant money is intended to compensate. The Company recognizes grants once it is probable that both of the following conditions will be met: (1) the Company is eligible to receive the grant and (2) the Company is able to comply with the relevant conditions of the grant.
The PTC is recorded as the applicable items become finished goods and the conditions in the preceding paragraph are met.
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company entered into tax credit purchase agreements to sell and transfer all of the PTCs related to the production and sale of battery cells and battery modules produced in calendar years 2023 and in the first quarter of 2024, that were eligible to be claimed on the Company’s tax returns for the related years. The transferred tax credits were sold at 90 % of their value and the cash purchase price of the PTCs was $3,430 .
During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company entered into tax credit purchase agreements to sell and transfer all of the PTCs related to the production and sale of electrode active materials produced in calendar year 2023, that were eligible to be claimed on the Company’s tax return. The transferred tax credits were sold at 90 % of their value and the cash purchase price of the PTCs was $812 .
Cash was received from the buyer in April, June, and October of 2024, after the completed registration requirements were filed through the IRS‑provided electronic portal, inclusive of registration numbers needed to claim the credit on the Buyer’s tax return. Upon the receipt of the cash payments, the Company recorded offsets to the PTC/Grant Receivable account. There were no differences between the recorded fair value of the PTC receivable and the amount of consideration received. Future differences, if any, will be recognized as an adjustment to cost of goods sold.
The Company recognized PTC credits of $ and $3,256 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, as a reduction of cost of goods sold on the Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, grant receivable related to the PTC in the amount of $2,283 and $3,256 , respectively, is recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Milestones
In the event the Company fails to achieve any of the remaining milestones under the Credit and Securities Purchase Transaction on the one additional milestone measurement date, the Company will not receive the specific tranche unless waived by the Lender, the Company will be subject to a penalty represented by an up to 4.0 % increase in the applicable percentage in the form of additional Warrants or Preferred Stock at the final missed milestone measurement date, which could result in the issuance of additional shares of Preferred Stock or Warrants up to an applicable percentage increase of up to 16.0 % for all missed milestones, or up to a 49.0 % overall applicable percentage taking into account the 33.0 % applicable percentage. If the Company fails to achieve an interim milestone, but then subsequently achieves the final milestone for that particular category, the incremental penalty equity related to that milestone category is returned to the Company. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had met all applicable interim milestones resulting in a maximum applicable percentage increase of 8.0 % for the remaining interim milestones, or up to 41.0 % overall applicable percentage considering the 33.0 % applicable percentage.

As a result of meeting the third performance milestones, if the Company fails to achieve the remaining milestones as of the final milestone measurement date, the applicable percentage will be subject to up to a 4.0 % increase for the missed milestones or an increase in the overall applicable percentage of up to 37.0 %. See Note 23, Subsequent Events for additional information.

The Company elected the fair value option to account for all draws under the Delayed Draw Term Loan for operational purposes. The financial liability was initially measured at its issue-date fair value and is subsequently remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis at each reporting period date. The Company also elected the fair value option for the August Draw and the October Draw. The Initial Draw fair value, the August Draw fair value, as well as the October Draw fair value (collectively the "DDTL"), was $25,653 , $12,528 , and $28,340 respectively, at issuance. As of December 31, 2024, the fair value for the DDTL was $76,188 . A gain of $33,823 was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2024. This is included in Change in fair value of debt - related party on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The Company also recorded a loss attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk of $43,490 for the year ended December 31, 2024. This is included in Change in fair value of debt - credit risk in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.
The Company did not separately report interest expense attributable to the DDTL because such interest was included in the determination of the fair value of the Note. See Note 16, Fair Value Measurement for the assumptions used to determine the fair value the Delayed Draw Term Loan at issuance and at December 31, 2024.
Contractual Interest Rates - Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at an annual rate equal to 15.0 % per annum, subject to the following increases: (i) an additional 5.0 % per annum upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Agreement. The Company may elect to add accrued and unpaid interest on the loans to the principal amount of the loans (capitalized interest).
Maturity - The DDTL is scheduled to mature on the earlier of (i) June 15, 2034 as amended on November 26, 2024, and (ii) 91 days prior to the maturity of certain of the Company’s outstanding convertible notes.

2021 Convertible Notes Payable - Related Party
On July 6, 2021, the Company entered into an investment agreement with Spring Creek Capital, LLC, a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of Koch Industries. The investment agreement provides for the issuance and sale to Koch of convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $100,000 . The maturity date of the 2021 Convertible Notes is June 30, 2026, subject to earlier conversion, redemption or repurchase.
Contractual Interest Rates - The 2021 Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 5 % per year if interest is paid in cash, or 6 % per year if interest is paid in-kind. Interest on the 2021 Convertible Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 30.
Conversion Rights - The 2021 Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the holder at any time until the business day prior to the maturity date, including in connection with a redemption by the Company. The 2021 Convertible Notes will be convertible into shares of the Company's common stock based on an initial conversion rate of 49.9910 shares of the Company’s common stock, which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $20.00 per share, in each case subject to customary anti-dilution and other adjustments. The Company has the right to settle conversions in shares of common stock, cash, or any combination thereof.
Optional Redemption - On or after June 30, 2024, the 2021 Convertible Notes will be redeemable by the Company in the event that the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock has been at least 130 % of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides the redemption notice at a redemption price of 100 % of the principal amount of such 2021 Convertible Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
If, following the Company’s delivery of a redemption notice, the 2021 Convertible Notes are converted pursuant to the holders’ conversion rights, the Company is required to make an additional cash payment to the converting holder equal to the present value of all interest payments the holder would have been entitled to receive had such 2021 Convertible Notes remained outstanding until June 30, 2026 (the “interest make-whole payment”). The present value is calculated using a discount rate equal to the risk-free rate plus 50 basis points and assuming interest accrued at the cash interest rate of 5 % per year.

Contingent Redemption - With certain exceptions, upon the occurrence of certain events, fundamental changes described in the 2021 Convertible Notes Agreement, the holders of the 2021 Convertible Notes may require that the Company repurchase all or part of the principal amount of the Notes at a purchase price of 100 % of the principal amount of such 2021 Convertible Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Embedded Derivatives - The interest make-whole payment can be triggered only in connection with an induced conversion, and therefore represents an adjustment to the settlement amount of the embedded conversion feature. Because this adjustment is calculated in a manner in which the cash payout may exceed the time value of the embedded conversion feature, the embedded conversion feature is precluded from being considered indexed to the Company’s own stock. Therefore, the embedded conversion feature does not qualify for the scope exceptions to derivative accounting prescribed by ASC 815.

AFG Convertible Notes - Related Party
On January 18, 2023, the Company entered into the Investment Agreement with the Purchasers relating to the issuance and sale to the Purchasers of $13,750 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s AFG Convertible Notes.
Contractual Interest Rates - The AFG Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 26.5 % per annum, which is entirely paid-in-kind. All interest payments are made through an increase in the principal amount of the outstanding AFG Convertible Notes or through the issuance of additional notes (such interest is referred to herein as “PIK Interest”). Interest on the AFG Convertible Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 30, commencing on June 30, 2023. It is expected that the Notes will mature on June 30, 2026, subject to earlier conversion, redemption or repurchase.
87
EOS ENERGY ENTERPRISES, INC. | ||
| NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | ||
| (In thousands, except share and per share amounts) | ||
Conversion Rights - The AFG Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the holder (the “Conversion Option”) at any time until the business day prior to the maturity date, including in connection with a redemption by the Company. The AFG Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, based on an initial conversion price of approximately $1.67 per share subject to customary anti-dilution and other adjustments. The Company has the right to settle conversions in shares of common stock, cash, or any combination thereof.
Optional Redemption - On or after June 30, 2024, provided that the Company has obtained stockholder approval, the AFG Convertible Notes are redeemable by the Company in the event that the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock has been at least 130 % of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides the redemption notice. The redemption price will be equal to the then current principal amount of the AFG Convertible Notes (inclusive of all PIK Interest), plus the aggregate amount of all interest payments on the AFG Convertible Notes that the holders of the AFG Convertible Notes to be redeemed would have been entitled to receive had the AFG Convertible Notes remained outstanding to the maturity date. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has not sought stockholder approval.
Contingent Redemption - With certain exceptions, upon the occurrence of certain events and fundamental changes described in the AFG Convertible Notes Agreement, the holders of the AFG Convertible Notes may require that the Company repurchase all or part of the principal amount of the AFG Convertible Notes at a purchase price of 100 % of the principal amount of the AFG Convertible Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Embedded Derivative - The Conversion Option includes an exercise contingency, which requires the Company to obtain shareholder approval for conversions subject to the Exchange Cap. If shareholder approval is not obtained, following commercially reasonable efforts, the Company will be required to settle the conversion in excess of the Exchange Cap in cash. Since settlement in cash may be required in absence of shareholder approval, the embedded conversion feature fails the equity classification guidance in ASC 815 and is thus precluded from being classified in equity. Therefore, the embedded conversion feature is required to be bifurcated from the AFG Convertible Notes and accounted for at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
The fair value of the AFG Convertible Notes at issuance was $16,623 , which was greater than the proceeds received. The Company recorded the difference of $2,873 as interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

14. Warrants Liability (cont.)
The Company issued private placement warrants to B. Riley Financial, Inc. in conjunction with its initial public offering 2020 (“IPO warrants”).
In April 2023, the Company issued 16,000,000 shares of common stock and 16,000,000 private placement warrants to purchase shares of common stock, and in May 2023, the Company issued another 3,601,980 shares of common stock and 3,601,980 private placement warrants to purchase shares of common stock (the “April 2023 Transaction” and “May 2023 Transaction”, respectively). The proceeds from the April 2023 Transaction and May 2023 Transaction were $40,000 , and $8,000 , respectively. The fair value of the warrants and common stock for the April 2023 Transaction and May 2023 Transaction at issuance was $66,366 and $13,267 , respectively, which was greater than the proceeds. As such, the Company recorded the excess as losses in the amounts of $26,366 and $5,267 , respectively, as a component of change in fair value of warrants in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The Company paid $2,328 in underwriting fees at closing related to the Transactions.
In December 2023, the Company issued in a combined public offering (i) 34,482,759 shares of its common stock and (ii) accompanying common warrants to purchase one share of common stock for each share of common stock sold (the "December 2023 Public Offering"). The gross proceeds to the Company from the December 2023 Public Offering were $50,000 , before deducting underwriting fees at closing. The offering price for each share of common stock and accompanying warrant was $1.45 . The fair value of the warrants and common stock for the December 2023 Public Offering at issuance was $71,294 , which was greater than the proceeds. As such, the Company recorded the excess as losses in the amount of $21,294 , as a component of change in fair value of warrants in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The Company paid $2,500 in underwriting fees at closing and incurred an additional $175 in legal fees related to the offering. For the year ended December 31, 2024, 4,682,767 of the December 2023 warrants were exercised generating approximately $7,492 for the Company.
The 2023 warrants do not qualify for equity classification guidance in ASC 815-40 and are measured at fair value at each reporting period.
Warrants liability - related party
SPA Warrant
As discussed in Note 3, Credit Agreement and Securities Purchase Transaction, the Company issued to the Purchaser, one warrant to purchase 43,276,194 shares of common stock. The warrant has a Ten-year term, a $0.01 per share exercise price, and is exercisable at the Purchaser’s discretion for cash or on a cashless basis. Upon an acceleration under the Credit Agreement, the Company could be required to purchase the warrant from the holder at an amount equal to the most recently quoted price. Following stockholder approval on September 10, 2024, the Conversion Cap increased to 49.9 %. See Note 3, Credit Agreement and Securities Purchase Transaction for additional information on this transaction.
Contingent Warrants
Following the Initial Draw, on three separate predetermined draw dates (for the third draw, see Note 23, Subsequent Events) upon the achievement of the corresponding performance milestone for each such draw date, the Company received additional funds under the Credit Agreement and issued securities under the SPA in an amount equal to the applicable percentage, up to an aggregate of 33.0 % ownership limitation on a fully-diluted basis as of the time the Delayed Draw Term Loan was fully drawn. Although these contingent warrants were not issued or exercisable until additional draws occurred, they meet the guidance under ASC 480 and are recognized at fair value with changes in fair value reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The applicable percentage is subject to increase by 8.0 % to up to 41.0 % on a fully diluted basis to the extent that milestones are not met on the final measurement date on April 30, 2025, in which case additional Contingent Warrants would be issuable.

16. Fair Value Measurement
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, contract assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, warrants, notes payable — related party, contract liabilities, and long-term debt.
Accounting standards require financial assets and liabilities to be classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

16. Fair Value Measurement (cont.)
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 - Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, contract assets, contract liabilities and accounts payable, and DOE Loan Facility are considered to be representative of their fair value.
The table below summarizes the fair values of certain liabilities that are included within the Company's accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, and their designations among the three fair value measurement categories:

16. Fair Value Measurement (cont.)
April 2023 warrants, May 2023 warrants and December 2023 warrants
The April 2023 warrants, May 2023 warrants, and the December 2023 warrants are classified as Level 3 financial instruments in the table above. The Company estimated the fair value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes model at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. This model incorporates inputs such as the stock price of the Company, risk-free interest rate, volatility, and time to expiration. The volatility involves unobservable inputs classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The inputs used to determine the fair value of the April 2023 warrants, May 2023 warrants, and the December 2023 warrants are as follows:

Embedded derivatives
The Company estimated the fair value of the embedded conversion features in the 2021 Convertible Note and AFG Convertible Note using a binomial lattice model at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. This model incorporates inputs such as the stock price of the Company, dividend yield, risk-free interest rate, the effective debt yield and expected volatility. The effective debt yield and volatility involve unobservable inputs classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The inputs used to determine the fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities are as follows:

Accounting for instruments resulting from the Credit and Securities Purchase Transaction
The Loan commitment assets were measured at fair value as of June 21, 2024 (see Note 3, Credit and Securities Purchase Transaction). The fair value was $76,091 at issuance calculated using the discounted cash flow model. They will not be subsequently remeasured at fair value.
The following table summarizes instruments that were initially and subsequently measured at fair value. (see Note 3, Credit and Securities Purchase Transaction):
| Instrument | Initial measurement date | Initial Fair Value | ||||||||||||
| Initial Draw of the Delayed Draw Term Loan | 6/21/2024 | |||||||||||||
| SPA Warrant | 6/21/2024 | |||||||||||||
| Contingent Warrants | 6/21/2024 | |||||||||||||
| August Draw of the Delayed Draw Term Loan | 8/29/2024 | |||||||||||||
| October Draw of the Delayed Draw Term Loan | 10/31/2024 | |||||||||||||
The fair value of each draw of the Delayed Draw Term Loan was estimated using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method, based on the contractual cash flows discounted at a debt yield and considering the probability of achieving certain milestones.
The fair value for the SPA warrant is estimated based on its intrinsic value, using the Eos common stock closing price adjusted by a discount for lack of marketability (“DLOM”), less the exercise price of $0.01 for the SPA Warrant. A DLOM was applied considering the underlying shares of the SPA Warrants are unregistered.
The fair value of the Contingent Warrants is estimated based on the underlying Eos common stock closing price adjusted by a DLOM using Black-Scholes option pricing model, considering the probability of achieving certain milestones. A DLOM was applied considering the underlying shares of the Contingent Warrants are unregistered.
The fair values for all the above instruments are designated as level 3 measurements as they rely on significant unobservable inputs. The significant unobservable inputs for each of these instruments are disclosed in the tables below. All other inputs used are observable.

17. Commitments and Contingencies
Lease commitments
The Company has lease commitments under lease agreements. See Note 15, Leases, for additional information.
Minimum Volume Commitment
In June 2022, the Company entered into a long-term supply agreement with a minimum volume commitment with a third party, which provides services to process certain raw materials. Any purchase order issued under this supply agreement will be non-cancellable. To the extent the Company fails to order the guaranteed minimum volume defined in the contract at the end of the term, the Company is required to pay the counterparty an amount equal to the shortfall, if any, multiplied by a fee. The Company is currently negotiating a new long-term supply agreement with the counterparty. As part of the ongoing negotiations, during the fourth quarter, the Company paid the counterparty $1,250 as a shortfall penalty and transferred equipment with a net book value of approximately $600 . As a result, the Company has been released of any minimum volume commitments as part of the original agreement.
Legal Proceedings
Class Action Complaints
On March 8, 2023, a class action lawsuit (the “Delman Complaint”) was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware by plaintiff Richard Delman (the “Delman Plaintiff”) against certain defendants including the Company’s former directors (the “Delman Defendants”). Neither the Company nor Eos Energy Storage LLC were named as a defendant in the Delman Complaint, but each was identified as a relevant non-party, and the Company has indemnification obligations relating to the lawsuit. On June 26, 2024, the parties to the Delman Complaint as well as the Company entered into a definitive Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement, Compromise, and Release and related documents (collectively, “Settlement Agreement”), pursuant to which the Delman Plaintiff agreed to release all claims against the Delman Defendants in exchange for a settlement payment of $8,500 (the “Settlement Amount”), funded by the Company’s D&O liability insurers, subject to the Company’s retention of $1,000 consisting of payment of legal fees of the Delman Defendants. On October 17, 2024, the Court of Chancery approved the Settlement Agreement and entered the Final Judgment subject to the payment of Settlement Amount. On December 10, 2024, the Settlement Amount was fully paid to the Delman Plaintiff by the Company’s D&O liability insurers.

On August 1, 2023, a class action lawsuit (the “Houck Complaint”) was filed in the United States District Court of New Jersey by plaintiff William Houck (the “Houck Plaintiff”) against the Company and three individual officers: the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, its former Chief Financial Officer, and its current Chief Financial Officer (with the Company, the “Houck Defendants”). The Houck Complaint alleges that the Houck Defendants violated federal securities laws by making knowingly false or misleading statements about the Company’s contractual relationship with a customer and about the size of the Company’s order backlog and commercial pipeline. On November 8, 2024, the District Court granted the renewed motion to dismiss filed by the Houck Defendants. On January 23, 2025, the Company filed a Notice and Request for Entry of Final Judgment with the District Court. The Company is awaiting the District Court’s entry of Final Judgment.
On November 5, 2024, a shareholder derivative lawsuit (the “Hyung Complaint”) was filed in the United States District Court of the District of New Jersey by plaintiff Jung Jae Hyung (the “Hyung Plaintiff”) against certain defendants including the Company’s current Chief Executive Officer, the Company’s current Chief Financial Officer, and five of the Company’s current Directors and one former Director (the “Hyung Defendants”). The Hyung Complaint alleges that the Hyung Defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company by allowing the Company to make knowingly false or misleading statements about the Company’s contractual relationship with a customer and about the size of the Company’s order backlog and commercial pipeline. The Company intends to vigorously contest this matter.

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company granted contingent shares to select key executives that may be earned based on the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) over a and three-year period following the grant date. TSR awards are paid out in stock at the end of the vesting period based on the Company’s stock performance. The performance is measured by determining the percentile rank of the total shareholder return of the Company’s common stock relative to the TSR of the Russell 2000 index peer group for the two and three-year period following the grant date. This peer group includes the entire Russell 2000 index as it existed at the beginning of the performance period, excluding any companies that were removed from the index during the performance period. The payment of awards following the and three-year award period is based on performance achieved in accordance with the scale set forth in the plan agreement and may range from 0 % to 200 % of the initial grant. The fair value of the TSR awards is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation in an option pricing framework.
The following summarizes the key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the TSR awards that were granted, and the resulting weighted average grant date fair value.

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company also granted shares contingent upon the achievement of certain performance milestones related to the Credit Agreement that may be earned over the performance period following the grant date. The contingent share awards (“Milestone PRSU”) are paid out in stock at the end of the vesting period based on the Company’s achievement of the performance milestones.
As of December 31, 2024, there was $8,638 of unrecognized compensation expense attributable to unvested PRSUs, expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 0.9 years.
In 2024, the Company reserved an additional 19,000,000 shares for the Amended and Restated 2020 Incentive Plan. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, 4,552,831 and 5,015,893 shares remain for future issuance, respectively.

18. Stock-Based Compensation (cont.)
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company granted 40,000 RSUs with performance and service conditions. Stock compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the award vesting term. For awards with performance conditions, compensation expense is recognized using an accelerated attribution method over the vesting period. The performance conditions primarily relate to achievement of sales and financing targets. In June 2023, the Company modified 550,000 performance-based stock options that were issued in June 2022 and December 2022 by extending the period to meet certain performance conditions.

Deferred Income Taxes
The Company records deferred income taxes to reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences, if any, between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

The Tax Cuts & Jobs Act of 2017 ("TCJA") mandated that research and experimental ("R&E") costs incurred in tax years beginning after December 31, 2021 must be capitalized and amortized over five years if the research is performed in the United States and over 15 years if performed outside the United States. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has capitalized and will amortize these costs over the required periods.
The Company maintains a valuation allowance where it is more-likely-than-not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset may not be realized. Changes in the valuation allowance are included in the Company’s income tax provision in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is required, the Company evaluates factors such as prior earnings history, expected future earnings, reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, carry back and carry forward periods and tax planning strategies that could potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax asset. The Company has determined that it is more-likely-than-not that it will not be able to utilize its U.S. deferred tax assets at December 31, 2024 and 2023 due to a history of cumulative losses. As such, the Company has a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets.

The valuation allowance increased by $46,442 222,122 , of which $11,006 would be allocated to equity if released. The remaining valuation allowance of $211,116 would be released through continuing operations.
Net Operating Losses & Tax Credits
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has federal research and development tax credits (“R&D credit”) of approximately $3,733 65 for the year ended December 31, 2023, which expired in 2024.
The Company has NOL carryforwards for tax purposes and other deferred tax assets that are available to offset future taxable income, subject to the annual limitation described below.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has gross federal NOL carryforwards of approximately $741,178 and $638,507 , respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has state NOL carryforwards of $1,032,728 and $228,333 , respectively. Regarding the federal NOL, for the year ended December 31, 2024, $89,051 begins to expire in varying amounts from 2032 through 2036, while $652,127 has an indefinite carryforward period. Regarding the state NOL carryforwards for the year ended December 31, 2024, $1,023,378 begins to expire in varying amounts from 2028 through 2044, while $9,350 has an indefinite carryforward period. The U.S. (federal and state) operating loss carryforwards and credits may be subject to an annual limitation due to the “change in ownership” provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, and similar state provisions. In 2020, the Company determined that the merger transaction constitutes a change of ownership as defined under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and Section 383. The Company completed an ownership shift analysis through December 31, 2024 and determined that an ownership change occurred during the 2024 tax year within the meaning of Sections 382 and 383 of the Code. Based on our ownership change limitation study, the timing of the Company’s ability to utilize its pre-change federal NOLs and tax credits may be limited subject to the Section 382 limitation. However, we do not expect that the limitation due to the ownership change will result in any of the NOLs expiring unutilized as a significant amount have an indefinite life carryforward. Assuming there is sufficient projected taxable income, a majority of the Section 382 limited net operating losses will be available prior to the year ended December 31, 2029. Management believes such limitation will not have a material adverse effect on the financial statements as the Company is currently in a net loss position, and the deferred tax asset on the Company’s NOL carryforward is offset by a full valuation allowance. Based on management’s 2020 Section 383 limitation analysis, it is expected that as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $3,733
On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 into law. There are two major corporate tax provisions included in the Act. In general, the IRA creates a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax (“CAMT”) on any corporation that has (or has had) average annual “adjusted financial statement income” for a three-year period preceding the tax year that exceeds $1 billion. The CAMT is effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. The IRA also imposes on publicly traded U.S. corporations a 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of their stock. The excise tax is effective for stock repurchases after December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect the aforementioned provisions in the IRA to have any material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In addition to the CAMT discussed above, the IRA has production tax credits that are discussed in Note 11, Government Grants.

19. Income Taxes (cont.)
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States (federal and state), India, and Italy. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company’s tax positions and determining the Company’s provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company records a liability for uncertain tax positions on the basis of a two-step process in which (i) management determines whether it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on the technical merits of the position and (ii) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.
The Company has unrecognized tax benefits associated with uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 as follows:

| Gross unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31 | $ | $ | |||||||||
The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits was $1,571 and $680 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in gross unrecognized tax benefits in 2024 was related to an impermissible method of accounting for payroll costs.
Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2024 are potential benefits of nil that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate on income from continuing operations. The open tax years for federal returns are 2021 and forward, and the open tax years for state returns are generally 2019 and forward. Net operating losses and R&D credits generated in closed years and utilized in open years are subject to adjustment by the tax authorities. The Company is currently under examination by the IRS related to tax year 2022. The Company is not under examination by any other taxing jurisdictions.
The Company regularly assesses the adequacy of its provision for income tax contingencies in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. As a result, the Company may adjust the reserves for unrecognized tax benefits for the impact of new facts and developments, such as changes to interpretation of relevant tax law, assessments from taxing authorities, settlements with tax authorities and lapses of statute of limitations.

Public Warrants
The Company sold warrants to purchase 9,075,000 shares of the Company's common stock in a public offering on May 22, 2020 (the “Public Warrants”). Each public warrant entitles the holder to purchase a share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. There were no 7,052,254
Standby Equity Purchase Agreement
On April 28, 2022, the Company entered into the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”). Pursuant to the SEPA, the Company had the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Yorkville shares of its common stock at the Company’s request. For the year ended December 31, 2023, total funds raised under the SEPA, inclusive of proceeds received from the 2023 Promissory Notes, were $35,550 . Total shares issued under the SEPA for the year ended December 31, 2023 were 23,630,937 .
On August 23, 2023, the Company and Yorkville terminated the SEPA, as amended, by mutual written consent. At the time of termination, there were no outstanding borrowings, advance notices or shares of common stock to be issued under the SEPA. In addition, there were no fees due by the Company or Yorkville in connection with the termination of the SEPA.
At-the-Market Offering Program
The Company has a sales agreement with Cowen and Company, LLC (“Cowen”), with respect to an at-the-market offering (“ATM”) program under which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time at its sole discretion, shares of its common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $200,000 through Cowen as its sales agent and/or principal.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company sold 16,627,523 shares raising proceeds of $14,089 , net of fees paid to Cowen, at an average selling price of $0.87 per share, included in the Consolidated Statement of Shareholders' Equity.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company sold 37,126,137 shares raising proceeds of $92,916 , net of fees paid to Cowen, at an average selling price of $2.58 per share, included in the Consolidated Statement of Shareholders' Equity.
21. Earnings Per Share
Generally, basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The SPA Warrant and Preferred Series B are participating securities that do not have the obligation to share in the losses of the Company. Therefore, the more dilutive of the “if-converted” and “two-class” method must be applied when calculating EPS for the common shares.
Management has elected to recognize changes in the redemption value of the Series B Preferred Stock. At each balance sheet date, the redemption value of the Series B Preferred Stock will be calculated, and if the redemption

value is greater than the carrying value, the carrying value will be accreted to the redemption value. The accretion is recorded as a deemed dividend, which, in the absence of Retained earnings, reduces additional paid in capital and earnings available to common shareholders in computing basic and diluted EPS. Other potentially dilutive common shares and the related impact to earnings are considered when calculating EPS on a diluted basis.
Since the Company incurred a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2024, as well as the year ended December 31, 2023, the potential dilutive shares from stock options, restricted stock units, warrants, and convertible notes were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented. Therefore, basic and diluted EPS are computed using the same number of weighted-average shares for the year ended December 31, 2024, as well as the year ended December 31, 2023. The following potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the year ended December 31, 2024, as well as the year ended December 31, 2023:

22. Segment Reporting
The Company’s chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer and President. Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the CODM in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. As such, the Company has determined that it operates in one operating and one reportable segment.
The Company designs, develops, manufactures, and markets innovative zinc-based energy storage solutions for utility-scale, microgrid and commercial & industrial (C&I) applications. The Company operates and holds long-lived assets in a single geographical region, with nearly all of its revenue coming from customers in the United States.
The CODM reviews financial information on a consolidated basis and uses Gross profit (loss) and Net income (loss) to assess financial performance considering budget-to-actual variances when making key decisions on how to allocate company resources.

23. Subsequent Events
On January 24, 2025, the Company announced the achievement of all four of the third performance milestones previously agreed upon between Eos and Cerberus pursuant to the Credit Agreement. Achieving these performance milestones enabled the Company to draw an additional $40,500 from the Delayed Draw Term Loan. On January 24, 2025, Cerberus funded the full amount of the scheduled $40,500 draw under the Delayed Draw Term Loan, completing the scheduled fundings under the Delayed Draw Term Loan.
In connection with the final scheduled draw and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the SPA, the Applicable Percentage increased by 2.1 %, and the Company issued to Cerberus 16.150528 shares of a newly designated non-voting Series B-4 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series B-4 Preferred Stock”), which are convertible into an aggregate of 16,150,528 shares of common stock. Collectively, the SPA Warrant, the Series B Preferred Stock, and the newly created Series B-4 Preferred Stock are exercisable or convertible into, as applicable, an aggregate of 158,433,112 shares of common stock, or an Applicable Percentage of 33.0 % as of the issuance date.
Under the terms of the Series B-4 Certificate of Designation, each share of Series B-4 Preferred Stock has an original issue price of $5,990 .
As a result of meeting the third performance milestones, if the Company fails to achieve the remaining milestones as of the final milestone measurement date, the applicable percentage will be subject to up to a 4.0 % increase for the missed milestones or an increase of the overall applicable percentage of up to 37.0 %.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation and supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management, including the CEO and CFO, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013 Framework). Based on our assessment, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Remediation of Previously Identified Material Weaknesses
As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 25, 2021, our management identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to: a lack of a formalized internal control framework in accordance with COSO, inadequate segregation of duties within the financial reporting process, lack of review and approval of journal entries, and a lack of management review controls. To address these material weaknesses, management, with oversight of the Audit Committee, implemented the following steps to remediate the material weaknesses:
•We engaged external experts to complement internal resources and to provide support related to more complex applications of GAAP, tax, and internal controls.
•We designed and implemented a comprehensive internal control framework that includes a formal risk assessment process to identify and design our control activities to address all risks of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.
•We designed and implemented systematic manual journal entry review workflows.
•We designed and implemented IT general controls over the review of user access rights and privileges and implemented more robust review procedures over change management and segregation of duties.
•We developed a formalized process and control documentation for all relevant areas of financial reporting, including IT general and automated controls that support financial reporting.
•We designed and implemented a comprehensive segregation of duties framework and implemented relevant segregation of duties controls, including restricting the ability for one individual to both (i) create and post a journal entry in the general ledger and (ii) prepare and review account reconciliations.
•We designed and implemented management review controls over each significant class of transaction, including areas considered highly complex, judgmental, and subject to management estimation.
•We have designed procedures to validate underlying source data used in our financial reporting controls and the necessary IT general and automated controls to rely on the IT environment supporting our financial reporting.
•We designed and implemented controls to identify any significant and unusual transactions, and analyze, record, report, and disclose such matters.
As of December 31, 2024, our testing of both the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls was completed, and management has concluded that the previously identified material weaknesses have been fully remediated.
Other than the changes described above related to our remediation of the previously identified material weaknesses, there were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting which were identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act during the fourth quarter of 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

#9857019 v3 \027606 \0008 INSIDER TRADING POLICY Revised and adopted by the Board of Directors on March 13, 2023 TRADING IN COMPANY SECURITIES WHILE IN POSSESSION OF MATERIAL NONPUBLIC INFORMATION IS PROHIBITED The purchase or sale of securities by any person who possesses material nonpublic information is a violation of federal and state securities laws. Furthermore, it is important that the appearance, as well as the fact, of trading on the basis of material nonpublic information be avoided. Therefore, it is the policy of Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”), in accordance with applicable law, that any director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company (a “Covered Person”) who is aware of material nonpublic information relating to the Company may not, directly or through family members or other persons or entities: • buy or sell securities of the Company, other than pursuant to a trading plan that complies with Rule 10b5-1 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”); • engage in any other action to take personal advantage of that information; or • pass that information on to others outside the Company, including friends and family (a practice referred to as “tipping”). In addition, it is the policy of the Company that no Covered Person who, in the course of working for the Company, learns of material nonpublic information of another company with which the Company does business, such as a customer or supplier, may trade in that company’s securities until that information becomes public or is no longer material. ALL COVERED PERSONS AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS AND AFFILIATES ARE SUBJECT TO THIS POLICY This Insider Trading Policy (the “Policy”) applies to all Covered Persons. This Policy also applies to any other persons whom the Company’s insider trading Compliance Officer may designate because they have access to material nonpublic information concerning the Company, as well as any person who receives material nonpublic information from any Company insider. This Policy applies to family members who reside with Covered Persons (including a spouse, a child, a child away at college, stepchildren, grandchildren, parents, stepparents, grandparents, siblings and in-laws), anyone else who lives in such persons’ household and any family members who do not live in their household but whose transactions in the Company’s securities are directed by Covered Persons or are subject to the control or influence by such persons, such as parents or children who consult with such persons before they trade in the Company’s securities (collectively referred to as “Family Members”). Each person subject to this Policy is responsible for the transactions of Family Members and therefore should make them aware of this Policy. All transactions of a Family Member, for the purposes of this Policy and applicable securities laws, is treated as if such transactions were for the account of the applicable Covered Person. This
2 Policy does not, however, apply to personal securities transactions of Family Members where the purchase or sale decision is made by a third party not controlled by, influenced by or related to a Covered Person or such person’s Family Members. This Policy also applies to any entities (such as trusts, limited partnerships and corporations) over which Covered Persons have or share voting or investment control (collectively referred to as “Controlled Entities”), and transactions by Controlled Entities should be treated for the purposes of this Policy and applicable securities laws as if they were for the account of the applicable Covered Person. EVERY INDIVIDUAL IS RESPONSIBLE Every Covered Person has an individual responsibility to comply with this Policy against illegal insider trading. A Covered Person may, from time to time, have to forego a proposed transaction in the Company’s securities even if he or she planned to make the transaction before learning of the material nonpublic information and even though the Covered Person believes that he or she may suffer an economic loss or forego anticipated profit by waiting. EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND CERTAIN NAMED EMPLOYEES ARE SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS 1. Section 16 Insiders. The Company has designated certain persons who are subject to the reporting provisions and trading restrictions of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the underlying rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC. Each such person is referred to herein as a “Section 16 Insider.” The Company will maintain a list of Section 16 Insiders and amend such list from time to time as necessary to reflect the addition and the resignation or departure of Section 16 Insiders. 2. Access Persons. The Company will maintain a list of other employees who have frequent access to material nonpublic information concerning the Company (“Access Persons”). The Company will amend such list from time to time as necessary to reflect the addition and departure of Access Persons. 3. Additional Restrictions. Because Section 16 Insiders and Access Persons are more likely than other employees to possess material nonpublic information about the Company, and in light of the reporting requirements to which Section 16 Insiders are subject under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, Section 16 Insiders and Access Persons are subject to the additional restrictions set forth in Appendix I hereto. For purposes of this Policy, Section 16 Insiders and Access Persons are each referred to as “Insiders. INSIDER TRADING COMPLIANCE OFFICER The Company has initially designated its Chief Financial Officer as its Insider Trading Compliance Officer (the “Compliance Officer”). Upon the employment of a Company General Counsel, such General Counsel or another member of the internal legal counsel of the Company shall become the Compliance Officer. The duties of the Compliance Officer will include the following: • Administering this Policy and monitoring and enforcing compliance with all Policy provisions and procedures.
3 • Responding to all inquiries relating to this Policy and its procedures. • Designating and announcing special trading blackout periods during which no Insiders may trade in Company securities. • Providing copies of this Policy and other appropriate materials to all current and new Covered Persons, and such other persons as the Compliance Officer determines have access to material nonpublic information concerning the Company. • Administering, monitoring and enforcing compliance with federal and state insider trading laws and regulations; and assisting in the preparation and filing of all required SEC reports relating to trading in Company securities, including without limitation Forms 3, 4, 5 and 144 and Schedules 13D and 13G. • Approving designated brokers through which Insiders are authorized to trade Company securities. • Revising the Policy as necessary to reflect changes in federal or state insider trading laws and regulations. • Maintaining as Company records originals or copies of all documents required by the provisions of this Policy or the procedures set forth herein, and copies of all required SEC reports relating to insider trading, including without limitation Forms 3, 4, 5 and 144 and Schedules 13D and 13G. • Maintaining the accuracy of the list of Section 16 Insiders and the list of Access Persons, and updating such lists periodically as necessary to reflect additions or deletions The Compliance Officer may designate one or more individuals who may perform the Compliance Officer’s duties in the event that the Compliance Officer is unable or unavailable to perform such duties. In fulfilling his or her duties under this Policy, the Compliance Officer shall be authorized to consult with the Company’s outside counsel. APPLICABILITY OF THIS POLICY TO TRANSACTIONS IN COMPANY SECURITIES 1. General Rule. This Policy applies to all transactions in the Company’s securities, including common stock, options to purchase common stock and any other securities the Company may issue from time to time, such as preferred stock, warrants and convertible debentures, as well as derivative securities relating to the Company’s stock, whether or not issued by the Company, such as exchange-traded options or swaps. For purposes of this Policy, the term “trade” includes any transaction in the Company’s securities, including gifts and pledges. 2. Employee Benefit Plans Equity Incentive Plans. The trading prohibitions and restrictions set forth in this Policy do not apply to the exercise of stock options or other equity awards for cash, but do apply to all sales of securities acquired through the exercise of stock options or other equity awards. Thus, this Policy does apply to the “same-day sale” or cashless exercise of Company stock options. Employee Stock Purchase Plans. The trading prohibitions and restrictions set forth in this Policy do not apply to periodic contributions by the Company or employees to employee stock purchase plans or employee benefit plans (e.g., a pension or 401(k) plan) which are used to purchase Company securities pursuant to the employee’s advance instructions. However, no officers or employees may alter their instructions regarding the level of withholding or the purchase of Company securities in such plans while in the possession of material nonpublic
4 information. Any sale of Company securities acquired under such plans is subject to the prohibitions and restrictions of this Policy. Tax Withholding Rights. The trading prohibitions and restrictions set forth in this Policy do not apply to the exercise of tax withholding rights pursuant to which an officer or other employee elects to have the Company withhold shares to satisfy any tax withholding requirements. DEFINITION OF “MATERIAL NONPUBLIC INFORMATION” 1. “Material”. Information about the Company is “material” if it would be expected to affect the investment or voting decisions of a reasonable shareholder or investor, or if the disclosure of the information would be expected to significantly alter the total mix of the information in the marketplace about the Company. In simple terms, material information is any type of information which could reasonably be expected to affect the market price of the Company’s securities. Both positive and negative information may be material. While it is not possible to identify all information that would be deemed material, the following types of information ordinarily would be considered material: • Financial performance, especially quarterly and year-end operating results, and significant changes in financial performance or liquidity. • Company projections and strategic plans. • Potential mergers or acquisitions, the sale of Company assets or major partnering agreements outside of the ordinary course of business. • New major contracts, orders, suppliers, customers or finance sources or the loss thereof. • Major discoveries or significant changes or developments in products or product lines, research or technologies. • Significant changes or developments in supplies or inventory, including significant vendor problems, product defects, recalls or product returns. • Significant pricing changes. • Stock splits, public or private securities/debt offerings, or changes in Company dividend policies or amounts. • Significant changes in senior management or membership of the Board of Directors. • Significant labor disputes or negotiations. • Actual or threatened major litigation, or the resolution of such litigation. • Receipt or denial of regulatory approval for products. 2. “Nonpublic”. Material information is “nonpublic” if it has not been widely disseminated to the general public through a report filed with the SEC or through major newswire services, national news services or financial news services. For the purpose of this Policy, information will be considered public after the close of trading on the second full trading days following the Company’s widespread public release of the information. 3. Consult the Compliance Officer When In Doubt. Any Covered Persons who are unsure whether the information that they possess is material or nonpublic must consult the Compliance Officer for guidance before trading in any Company securities.
5 COVERED PERSONS MAY NOT DISCLOSE MATERIAL NONPUBLIC INFORMATION TO OTHERS OR MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING TRADING IN COMPANY SECURITIES No Covered Person may disclose material nonpublic information concerning the Company to any other person (including Family Members) where such information may be used by such person to his or her advantage in the trading of the securities of companies to which such information relates, a practice commonly known as “tipping.” No Covered Person or Family Member may make recommendations or express opinions as to trading in the Company’s securities while in possession of material nonpublic information, except such person may advise others not to trade in the Company’s securities if doing so might violate the law or this Policy. COVERED PERSONS MAY NOT PARTICIPATE IN CHAT ROOMS Covered Persons are prohibited from participating in chat room discussions or other Internet forums regarding the Company’s securities or business. ONLY DESIGNATED COMPANY SPOKESPERSONS ARE AUTHORIZED TO DISCLOSE MATERIAL NONPUBLIC INFORMATION The Company is required under the federal securities laws to avoid the selective disclosure of material nonpublic information. The Company has established procedures for releasing material information in a manner that is designed to achieve broad dissemination of the information immediately upon its release. Covered Persons may not, therefore, disclose material information to anyone outside the Company, including Family Members and friends, other than in accordance with those established procedures. Any inquiries from outsiders regarding information about the Company should be forwarded to the Compliance Officer, the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer. CERTAIN TYPES OF TRANSACTIONS ARE PROHIBITED 1. Short Sales. Short sales of the Company’s securities evidence an expectation on the part of the seller that the securities will decline in value, and therefore signal to the market that the seller has no confidence in the Company or its short-term prospects. In addition, short sales may reduce the seller’s incentive to improve the Company’s performance. For these reasons, short sales of the Company’s securities are prohibited by this Policy. In addition, Section 16(c) of the Exchange Act expressly prohibits executive officers and directors from engaging in short sales. 2. Publicly Traded Options. A transaction in options is, in effect, a bet on the short- term movement of the Company’s stock and therefore creates the appearance that the Covered Person is trading based on inside information. Transactions in options also may focus the Covered Person’s attention on short-term performance at the expense of the Company’s long- term objectives. Accordingly, transactions in puts, calls or other derivative securities involving the Company’s stock, on an exchange or in any other organized market, are prohibited by this Policy. (Option positions arising from certain types of hedging transactions are governed by the section below captioned “Hedging Transactions.”) 3. Hedging Transactions. Certain forms of hedging or monetization transactions, such as zero-cost collars and forward sale contracts, allow a Covered Person to lock in much of
6 the value of his or her stock holdings, often in exchange for all or part of the potential for upside appreciation in the stock. These transactions allow the Covered Person to continue to own the covered securities, but without the full risks and rewards of ownership. When that occurs, the Covered Person may no longer have the same objectives as the Company’s other shareholders. Therefore, such transactions involving the Company’s securities are prohibited by this Policy. 4. Margin Accounts and Pledges. Securities held in a margin account may be sold by the broker without the customer’s consent if the customer fails to meet a margin call. Similarly, securities pledged (or hypothecated) as collateral for a loan may be sold in foreclosure if the borrower defaults on the loan. Because a margin sale or foreclosure sale may occur at a time when the pledgor is aware of material nonpublic information or otherwise is not permitted to trade in Company securities, Covered Persons are prohibited from holding Company securities in a margin account or pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan. 5. Standing Orders. Standing orders may be used only for brief periods of time and may not be in place for more than seven (7) days. A standing order placed with a broker (such as “good until cancelled”) to sell or purchase stock at a specified price leaves you with no control over the timing of the transaction. A standing order transaction executed by the broker when you are aware of material non-public information may inadvertently result in unlawful insider trading. If you are subject to trading windows or pre-clearance requirements, you must inform any broker with whom you place any open order at the time it is placed. However, orders under an approved 10b5-1 trading plan are permitted (see Appendix I below). THE COMPANY MAY SUSPEND ALL TRADING ACTIVITIES BY COVERED PERSONS In order to avoid any questions and to protect both Covered Persons and the Company from any potential liability, from time to time the Company may impose a “blackout” period during which some or all of the Covered Persons may not buy or sell the Company’s securities. The Compliance Officer will impose such a blackout period if, in his judgment, there exists nonpublic information that would make trades by the Covered Persons (or certain of the Covered Persons) inappropriate in light of the risk that such trades could be viewed as violating applicable securities laws. VIOLATIONS OF INSIDER TRADING LAWS OR THIS POLICY CAN RESULT IN SEVERE CONSEQUENCES 1. Civil and Criminal Penalties. Penalties for trading on or communicating material nonpublic information can be severe, both for individuals involved in the unlawful conduct and their employers and supervisors, and may include a substantial jail term and payment of a criminal penalty of several times the amount of profits gained or losses avoided. In addition, a person who tips others may also be liable for transactions by the tippees to whom he or she has disclosed material nonpublic information. Tippers can be subject to the same penalties and sanctions as the tippees, and the SEC has imposed large penalties even when the tipper did not profit from the transaction. The SEC can also seek substantial civil penalties from any person who, at the time of an insider trading violation, “directly or indirectly controlled the person who committed the violation,” which would apply to the Company and/or management and supervisory personnel. These control persons may be held liable for up to the greater of $1 million or three times the
7 amount of the profits gained or losses avoided. Even for violations that result in a small or no profit, the SEC can seek penalties from a company and/or its management and supervisory personnel as control persons3 2. Company Discipline. Violation of this Policy or federal or state insider trading laws by any director, officer or employee may subject the director to removal proceedings and the officer or employee to disciplinary action by the Company, including termination for cause. 3. Reporting Violations. Any person who violates this Policy or any federal or state laws governing insider trading, or knows of any such violation by any other person, must report the violation immediately to the Compliance Officer. Upon learning of any such violation, the Compliance Officer, in consultation with the Company’s legal counsel, will determine whether the Company should release any material nonpublic information or whether the Company should report the violation to the SEC or other appropriate governmental authority. THIS POLICY CONTINUES TO APPLY FOLLOWING TERMINATION OF SERVICE This Policy continues to apply to transactions in the Company’s securities even after termination of employment. If a Covered Person is in possession of material nonpublic information when his or her employment or service terminates, he or she may not trade in the Company’s securities until that information has become public or is no longer material. THE COMPLIANCE OFFICER IS AVAILABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS POLICY Please direct all inquiries regarding any of the provisions or procedures of this Policy to the Compliance Officer, the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer. THIS POLICY IS SUBJECT TO REVISION The Company may change the terms of this Policy from time to time to respond to developments in law and practice. The Company will take steps to inform all affected persons of any material change to this Policy. COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES This Policy will be made available on the Company’s intranet and provided to new Covered Persons at the start of their employment or relationship with the Company. Covered Persons must periodically sign a form indicating their acknowledgement of understanding of the Policy and confirming their agreement to abide by the guidelines it sets forth. The Company reserves the right to impose disciplinary actions for violation of this Policy and to issue any necessary stop-transfer orders to the Company’s transfer agent to enforce compliance with this Policy.
8 Appendix I Special Restrictions on Transactions in Company Securities by Executive Officers, Directors and Access Persons OVERVIEW To minimize the risk of apparent or actual violations of the rules governing insider trading, we have adopted these special restrictions relating to transactions in Company securities by Insiders. As with the other provisions of this Policy, Insiders are responsible for ensuring compliance with this Appendix I, including restrictions on all trading during certain periods, by Family Members and by Control Entities. Insiders should provide each of these persons or entities with a copy of this Policy. TRADING WINDOW In addition to the restrictions that are applicable to all employees, any trade by an Insider that is subject to the Insider Trading Policy will be permitted only during an open “trading window.” The trading window generally opens following the close of trading on the second full trading day following the public issuance of the Company’s earnings release for the most recent fiscal quarter and closes at the close of trading on the fifteenth day of the last month of the fiscal quarter in which the earnings were released. In addition to the times when the trading window is scheduled to be closed, the Company may impose a special blackout period at its discretion due to the existence of material nonpublic information that is likely to be widely known among Insiders. Following termination of employment or other service, Insiders will be subject to the trading window, as well as any special blackout period in effect at the time of termination, for one full fiscal quarter thereafter. Even when the trading window is open, Insiders and other Company personnel are prohibited from trading in the Company’s securities while in possession of material nonpublic information. The Company’s Compliance Officer will advise Insiders when the trading window opens and closes. HARDSHIP EXEMPTION The Compliance Officer may, on a case by case basis, authorize a transaction in the Company’s securities outside of the trading window (but in no event during a special blackout period) due to extreme financial or other hardship. Any request for a hardship exemption must be in writing and must describe the amount and nature of the proposed transaction and the circumstances of the hardship. (The request may be made as part of a pre-clearance request, so long as it is in writing.) The Insider requesting the hardship exemption must also certify to the Compliance Officer within two business days prior to the date of the proposed trade that he or she is not in possession of material nonpublic information concerning the Company. The existence of the foregoing procedure does not in any way obligate the Compliance Officer to approve any hardship exemption requested by an Insider. PRE-CLEARANCE OF TRADES As part of the Company’s Insider Trading Policy, all purchases and sales of equity securities of the Company by Insiders, other than transactions that are not subject to the Policy or transactions pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan approved in accordance with
9 this Policy, must be pre-cleared by the Compliance Officer. The intent of this requirement is to prevent inadvertent violations of the Policy, avoid trades involving the appearance of improper insider trading, facilitate timely Form 4 reporting and avoid transactions that are subject to disgorgement under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Written requests for pre-clearance must be submitted to the Compliance Officer at least two business days in advance of each proposed transaction. Written requests should be followed by personal contact with the Compliance Officer to effectively facilitate the receipt of a request for pre-clearance in a timely manner. If the Insider leaves a voicemail message or submits the request by email and does not receive a response from the Compliance Officer within 24 hours, the Insider will be responsible for following up to ensure that the message was received. A request for pre-clearance should provide the following information: • The nature of the proposed transaction and the expected date of the transaction. • The number of shares involved. • If the transaction involves a stock option exercise, the specific option to be exercised and the manner of exercise (e.g., “same-day sale” or “cashless exercise”). • Contact information for the broker who will execute the transaction. Once the proposed transaction is pre-cleared, the Insider may proceed with it on the approved terms, provided that he or she complies with all other securities law requirements, such as Rule 144 and prohibitions regarding trading on the basis of inside information, and with any special trading blackout imposed by the Company prior to the completion of the trade. The Section 16 Insider and his or her broker will be responsible for immediately reporting the results of the transaction as further described below. In addition, pre-clearance is required for the establishment of a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan. However, pre-clearance will not be required for individual transactions effected pursuant to a pre- cleared Rule 10b5-1 trading plan that specifies or establishes a formula for determining the dates, prices and amounts of planned trades. Of course, the results of transactions effected under a trading plan must be reported immediately to the Company since they will be reportable on Form 4 within two business days following the execution of the trade, subject to an extension of not more than two additional business days where the Section 16 Insider is not immediately aware of the execution of the trade. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transactions by the Compliance Officer shall be subject to pre-clearance by the Chief Financial Officer or, in the event of his unavailability, the Chief Executive Officer. DESIGNATED BROKERS Each market transaction in the Company’s stock by a Section 16 Insider, or any person whose trades must be reported by that Insider on Form 4 (such as a member of the Insider’s immediate family who lives in the Insider’s household), must be executed by a broker designated by the Company unless the Insider has received authorization from the Compliance Officer to use a different broker. A Section 16 Insider and any broker that handles the Section 16 Insider’s transactions in the Company’s stock will be required to enter into an agreement whereby:
10 • The Insider authorizes the broker to immediately report directly to the Company the details of all transactions in Company equity securities executed by the broker in the Insider’s account and the accounts of all others designated by the Insider whose transactions may be attributed to the Insider. • The broker agrees not to execute any transaction for the Insider or any of the foregoing designated persons (other than under a pre-approved Rule 10b5-1 trading plan) until the broker has verified with the Company that the transaction has been pre-cleared. • The broker agrees to immediately report the transaction details (including transactions under Rule 10b5-1 trading plans) directly to the Company and to the Insider by telephone and in writing (by fax or email). If a Section 16 Insider wishes to use a broker other than one of the Company’s designated brokers, the Section 16 Insider should submit a request to use that broker to the Compliance Officer. REPORTING OF TRANSACTIONS To facilitate timely reporting under Section 16 of the Exchange Act of Insider transactions in Company securities, Section 16 Insiders are required to (a) report the details of each transaction immediately after it is executed and (b) arrange with persons whose trades must be reported by the Insider under Section 16 (such as Family Members) to immediately report directly to the Company and to the Insider the details of any transactions they have in the Company’s stock. Transaction details to be reported include: • Transaction date (trade date). • Number of shares or other securities involved. • Price per share/security at which the transaction was executed (before addition or deduction of brokerage commissions and other transaction fees). • If the transaction was a stock option exercise, the specific option exercised. • Contact information for the broker who executed the transaction. The transaction details must be reported to the Compliance Officer, with copies to the Company personnel who will assist the Section 16 Insider in preparing his or her Form 4. MODIFICATIONS TO POLICY The Board of Directors or a designated committee of the Board of Directors will be responsible for monitoring and recommending any necessary or advisable modifications to the Insider Trading Policy. PERSONS SUBJECT TO SECTION 16 Most purchases and sales of Company securities by directors, executive officers and greater-than-10% stockholders are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. The Board of Directors or its designated committee will review, at least annually, those individuals who are deemed to be executive officers for purposes of Section 16. An executive officer is generally defined as the president, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, any
11 vice president in charge of a principal business unit, division or function or any other officer or person who performs a policy making function. FORM 4 REPORTING Under Section 16, most trades, including donation of the Company’s equity securities, by Section 16 Insiders are subject to reporting on Form 4 within two business days following the trade date (which in the case of an open market trade is the date when the broker places the buy or sell order, not the date when the trade is settled). To facilitate timely reporting, all transactions that are subject to Section 16 must be reported to the Company on the same day as the trade date, or, with respect to transactions effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan, on the day the Insider is advised of the terms of the transaction. NAMED EMPLOYEES CONSIDERED INSIDERS The Board of Directors or its designated committee will review, at least annually, those individuals deemed to be “Insiders” for purposes of this Appendix I. Insiders shall include persons subject to Section 16 and such other persons as the Board of Directors or its designated committee deems to be Insiders. Generally, Insiders shall be any person who by virtue of his or her position is regularly in possession of material nonpublic information or performs an operational role, such as head of a division or business unit that is material to the Company as a whole. SPECIAL GUIDELINES FOR 10b5-1 TRADING PLANS Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Insider will not be deemed to have violated the Insider Trading Policy if he or she effects a transaction that meets all of the enumerated criteria below. 1. The transaction must be made pursuant to a non-discretionary plan (the “Plan”) entered into and operated in good faith that complies with all provisions of Rule 10b5-1 (the “Rule”), including, without limitation: a. Each Plan must be in the form of a written, binding contract that specifies either: i. the amount of securities to be purchased or sold and the price at which and the date on which the securities are to be purchased or sold, or ii. a written formula or algorithm, or computer program, for determining the amount of securities to be purchased or sold and the price at which and the date on which the securities are to be purchased or sold. b. The Plan must prohibit the Insider and any other person who possesses material nonpublic information from exercising any subsequent influence over how, when, or whether to effect purchases or sales and must state that any person executing Plan transactions may not deviate from Plan instructions c. The Plan must: i. For directors and executive only, only, at a minimum, include a cooling off period that begins on the date of the plan adoption or modification and ends the later of (a) 90 days thereafter and (b) two business days following filing
12 of a Form 10-Q or 10-K covering the financial reporting period in which the plan was adopted or modified, but in no event later than 120 days; and ii. for all other Insiders, at a minimum, include a 30-day cooling off period between entry into a 10b5-1 Trading Plan and the first possible transactions thereunder 2. Each Plan must be approved prior to the effective time of any transactions under such Plan by the Company’s Rule 10b5-1 Plan Review Committee, which shall be composed of persons selected by and serving at the discretion of the Board of Directors (the “10b5-1 Committee”). The Company reserves the right to withhold approval of any Plan that the 10b5-1 Committee determines, in its sole discretion: a. fails to comply with the Rule; b. exposes the Company or the Insider to liability under any other applicable state or federal rule, regulation or law; c. creates any appearance of impropriety; d. fails to meet the guidelines established by the Company; or e. otherwise fails to satisfy review by the 10b5-1 Committee for any reason, such failure to be determined in the sole discretion of the 10b5-1 Committee. 3. Any modifications to the Plan, deviations from the Plan or termination of the Plan without prior approval of the 10b5-1 Committee will result in a failure to comply with the Insider Trading Policy. Any such modification, deviation or termination is subject to the approval of the 10b5-1 Committee in accordance with Section 2 above. No Plan may be modified more than once in any 12-month period. Each Plan must include representations that: a. the Insider will only modify the Plan while not aware of any material nonpublic information about the Company or the securities covered by the Plan and at a time when the Company’s trading window is open with respect to the Insider, and will require that the first transaction following modification of the Plan will comply with the respective cooling off periods in accordance with Section 1(c) above, except that modifications that do not change the pricing, amount of securities or timing of trades, or where a broker executing trades on behalf of the Insider is substituted by a different broker (so long as the purchase or sales instructions remain the same) will not trigger a new cooling off period; and b. any termination of the Plan prior to its fixed termination date or sale of all securities will be made only when the Insider is not aware of material nonpublic information about the Company or the securities covered by the Plan. Following the termination of a Plan, the Insider will not be permitted to establish a new Plan sooner than the first open trading window occurring at least three (3) months after the date of termination. 4. Each Plan must be established: a. at a time when the Insider is not aware of material nonpublic information about the Company or the securities covered by the Plan; and b. at a time when the trading window is open with respect to the Insider; and c. in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the insider trading rules; and
13 d. to provide that the first transaction under the Plan will occur no sooner than the opening of the trading window following the Company’s next earnings release and in compliance with the cooling off period in accordance with Section 1(c) above. 5. Each Plan must either: a. have a fixed termination date that is at least twelve (12) months after the date the first transaction is effectuated under the Plan; or b. continue for an indefinite period and until no more securities covered by the Plan remain available. 6. Each Plan must restrict the size of the transactions which are to be effected under the Plan on any trading day to an amount that does not exceed 10% of the average daily trading volume over the period of four calendar weeks preceding the date of the transaction. 7. Each Plan must provide appropriate mechanisms to ensure that the Insider complies with all rules and regulations, including Rule 144, Rule 701 and Section 16(b), applicable to securities transactions under the Plan by the Insider. 8. Each Plan must provide for automatic suspension or termination of the Plan in the sole discretion of the Company: a. to comply with a lock-up agreement required in connection with a securities issuance transaction in which the Company is a participant; b. upon the occurrence of an event that would violate the law; or c. upon the occurrence of other similar events. Further, each Plan must provide for the suspension of all transactions under such Plan in the event that the Company, in its sole discretion, deems such suspension necessary and advisable. Reactivation of a suspended Plan will trigger a new cooling off period in accordance with Section 1(c) above. 9. Each Plan should include the following representations, warranties and covenants of the Insider: a. As of the date the Plan is established, the Insider is not aware of any material nonpublic information concerning the Company or the securities covered by the Plan. b. The Insider is entering into the Plan in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade compliance with federal or state securities laws. c. While the Plan is in effect, the Insider agrees not to enter into or alter any corresponding or hedging transaction or position with respect to the securities covered by the Plan. d. The Insider agrees not to alter or deviate from the terms of the Plan. e. The Insider agrees that he or she shall not, directly or indirectly, communicate any information relating to the securities or the Company to any broker, dealer, financial advisor, trustee or any other third party who is involved, directly or indirectly, in executing the Plan at any time while the Plan is in effect. f. The Insider agrees not to take, and agrees to cause any person or entity with which the Insider would be required to aggregate sales of securities pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) or (e) of Rule 144 not to take, any action that would cause the sales made under the Plan not to meet all applicable requirements of Rule 144. g. The Insider agrees to timely make all filings required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Exchange Act.
14 h. The Insider acknowledges and agrees that the Insider does not have, and shall not attempt to exercise, any influence over how, when or whether to effect purchases or sales of securities pursuant to the Plan. i. The Insider agrees that any modifications to the Plan must be made in good faith at a time when the Insider is not aware of any material non-public information concerning the Company or the securities covered by the Plan. j. The Insider agrees that termination of the Plan prior to its expiration pursuant to the terms of the Plan will be made in good faith. k. The Insider agrees that the Company may, in its sole discretion, make public announcements regarding the Plan in any press release or filings with the SEC such as the Company’s proxy statement, a Form 8-K or other SEC filings, including, among other things, information as to existence or adoption of the Plan and, to the extent required or advisable under applicable law, information as to the timing of the transactions and the amount and price of the securities to be sold. l. The Insider agrees to return any securities not sold pursuant to the Plan to the Company for re-legending. 10. None of the Company, the Board of Directors, the 10b5-1 Committee nor any of the Company’s officers, employees or other representatives shall be deemed, solely by their approval of an Insider’s Plan, to have represented that any Plan complies with the Rule or to have assumed any liability or responsibility to the Insider or any other party if such Plan fails to comply with the Rule. 11. No multiple overlapping Plans may be in effect, except in the case of: a. a series of separate contracts with different brokers, which may be treated as a single Plan so long as the contracts taken together meet certain conditions; b. multiple concurrent Plans if trading under a later commencing Plan is not authorized until all trades under earlier-commencing Plans are completed (subject to the cooling off periods described above); or c. the Insider has a separate Plan for purposes of “sell-to-cover” transactions under which the Insider instructs his or her broker to sell securities to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of incentive compensation, except in the case of sell-to- cover in connection with option exercises.
