Evgo Inc. Form 8-K Summary
Business Context and Reporting Period
Evgo Inc. filed this Form 8-K on February 6, 2023, under Item 8.01, Other Events. The filing concerns a Delaware Court of Chancery proceeding related to the company’s 2021 business combination and amended certificate of incorporation. It does not report operating or financial results for a fiscal period.
Material Event and Legal Proceedings
- On February 3, 2023, Evgo filed a Section 205 petition seeking validation of the stockholder vote approving the 2021 Charter Amendment Proposal.
- The company also seeks validation and declaration of effectiveness of the amended certificate of incorporation, including its filing and effectiveness as of July 1, 2021, and of securities issued or to be issued in reliance on the vote or amended charter.
- The requested relief includes validation of the 5,750,000 shares of Class A common stock issued upon conversion of Class B common stock at the closing of the business combination.
- On February 6, 2023, the Court of Chancery granted Evgo’s motion to expedite the matter and scheduled a hearing for February 20, 2023, at 3:15 p.m. Eastern Time in Wilmington, Delaware.
- The filing serves as notice of the hearing. Stockholders may appear at the hearing or submit written positions in advance.
Background and Unusual Items
Before the July 1, 2021 closing, CRIS stockholders approved amendments that increased authorized Class A shares from 100 million to 1.2 billion and authorized Class B shares from 10 million to 400 million, among other changes. The company states that a subsequent Court of Chancery ruling created uncertainty regarding whether Delaware law required separate voting by the Class A and Class B classes for portions of the amendments.
