The Prospectus and this prospectus supplement also relate to the resale from time to time by the selling securityholders named in the Prospectus or their permitted transferees (the “Selling Securityholders”) of (i) 4,312,500 shares of Common Stock (the “Founder Shares”) that were issued to the Co-sponsors in conjunction with the IPO at a purchase price equivalent to approximately $0.00058 per Founder Share and subsequently converted upon the closing of the Business Combination and (ii) 3,100,000 shares of Common Stock purchased by certain Selling Securityholders at a price of $10.00 per share of Common Stock, and issued pursuant to the terms of certain subscription agreements entered into in connection with the Business Combination pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement,” and together with the other agreements and transactions contemplated thereby, the “Business Combination”) by and among CleanTech Acquisition Corp.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination Merger Sub merged with and into Nauticus Robotics Holdings, with Nauticus Robotics Holdings surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Company was renamed “Nauticus Robotics, Inc.”

 

Further, the Prospectus and this prospectus relate to the offer and sale by us of (i) 2,922,425 shares of Common Stock (the “SPA Warrant Shares”) which have been or may be issued from time to time upon the exercise of 2,922,425 warrants that were issued to certain Selling Securityholders (the “SPA Investors”) pursuant to the SPA, with an exercise price of $20.00 per share (the “SPA Warrants”) and (ii) 2,922,425 shares of Common Stock (the “Debenture Shares” and together with the SPA Warrant Shares, the “SPA Shares”) issuable upon the conversion of the Debentures (defined below) that were purchased by certain Selling Securityholders pursuant to the SPA, with a conversion price of $15.00 per share.

 Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On May 23, 2022, Nauticus Robotics Brazil Ltda., a Brazilian limited liability company (the “Company”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Nauticus Robotics, Inc., a Delaware corporation, entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) by and between the Company and Petróleo Brasileiro S.A., a Brazilian limited liability corporation (“Petrobras”), pursuant to which, among other things and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the Company will provide Petrobras with underwater inspection services through the use of Aquanaut, the Company’s autonomous subsea robotic system.

 

Unless otherwise terminated or suspended under the terms of the Agreement, the term of the Agreement is 1,080 days, and Petrobras agrees to pay the Company a fixed fee of approximately BRL 21.6 million (approximately USD 4.3 million), subject to the payment conditions and schedules set forth in the Agreement.

 

The Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and various customary covenants made by each party. Among other terms, the Company agrees to: comply with local labor laws, provide a health assurance plan to certain employees, repair any defects or faults with its equipment, comply with Petrobras’ information security standards and communicate any violations of such standards, and procure and maintain, throughout the entire term of the Agreement, insurance coverage for risks associated with the execution of the services. Among other terms, Petrobras agrees to make timely payments to the Company, adopt information security measures to protect personal data in compliance with applicable laws, provide the Company with adequate instructions and specifications, and issue requisite authorizations for the Company to execute the services under the Agreement.

 

Each of the Company and Petrobras has agreed to indemnify the other for certain damages and losses arising out of services provided under the Agreement, including damages and losses to equipment, facilities, and materials, subject to customary limitations. The services provided by the Company under the Agreement are subject to regular inspection by Petrobras. Petrobras reserves the right to reject or accept any work performed under the Agreement that does not comply with the requirements set forth therein and the technical specifications provided pursuant to the Agreement.

 

The Agreement contains termination rights for each of the Company and Petrobras, including, among other things, terms in which Nauticus may terminate the Agreement in the event of a delay in payment or release of equipment by Petrobras and in which Petrobras may terminate the Agreement without compensation or retention of the Company’s services in the event of certain breaches or non-compliance under the Agreement. Under certain conditions, the Company may be liable for damages up to 100% of the readjusted Agreement value, and the Company may be obligated to reimburse Petrobras if it is unable to provide a feasible technological solution. Further, Nauticus may be subject to monetary non-compliance penalties pursuant to compliance thresholds specified by the Agreement.

 

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company or Petrobras. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements contained in the Agreement were made only for purposes of the Agreement, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Agreement, and are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules provided by the parties to the Agreement in connection with the signing of the Agreement. These confidential disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies, and creates exceptions to the representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements set forth in the Agreement. Moreover, certain representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements in the Agreement were used for the purpose of allocating risk between the Company and Petrobras rather than establishing matters as facts and were made only as of the date of the Agreement (or such other date or dates as may be specified in the Agreement). In addition, the parties may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by investors. Accordingly, the representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements in the Agreement may not describe the actual state of affairs at the date they were made or at any other time and should not be relied upon as characterizations of the actual state of facts about the Company or Petrobras. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements may change after the date of the Agreement, and, unless required by applicable law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update such information.
