NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, other than those items disclosed below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

On May 5, 2022, the Company entered into a Promissory Note with the Sponsor (the “Third Promissory Note”) to which the Company could borrow up to an aggregate of $133,000. The Third Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and payable upon the earlier of (i) completion of the initial Business Combination or (ii) the date on which the Company determines that it is unable to effect a Business Combination. On May 5, 2022, the Company drew down $133,000 under the Third Promissory Note.

As approved by the Company’s stockholders at a Special Meeting of Stockholders on July 18, 2022 (the “Meeting”), the Company entered into an amendment (the “Trust Amendment”) to the investment management trust agreement, dated as of July 14, 2021, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company on July 19, 2022. Pursuant to the Trust Amendment, the Company has the right to extend the time to complete a business combination six (6) times for an additional one (1) month each time from July 19, 2022, to January 19, 2023, by depositing $100,000 to the trust account for each one-month extension.

As approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Meeting on July 18, 2022, the Company filed an amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State on July 19, 2022 (the “Charter Amendment”), giving the Company the right to extend the date by which it has to complete a business combination up to six (6) times for an additional one (1) month each time, from July 19, 2022 to January 19, 2023.

On July 18, 2022, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000 to CleanTech Investments, LLC and an unsecured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $300,000 to CleanTech Sponsor I LLC. The Company deposited to the trust account $100,000 of the total $450,000 of loan amount and extended the amount of time it has available to complete a business combination from July 19, 2022 to August 19, 2023. Both CleanTech Investments, LLC and CleanTech Sponsor I LLC were the Company’s sponsors at its initial public offering. Neither promissory note bears interest, and each will be repaid only upon closing of a business combination by the Company.

In connection with a stockholders’ vote at the Meeting on July 18, 2022, 15,466,711 shares of the Company’s Common Stock were tendered for redemption, resulting in a $156,533,843 reduction in the Trust Account balance. After the redemptions, the Trust Account balance was $18,048,122.
