This prospectus supplement supplements the prospectus, dated May 13, 2022 (the “Prospectus”), which forms a part of our registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-264238). This prospectus supplement is being filed to update and supplement the information in the Prospectus with the information contained in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 14, 2023 (the “Current Report”). Accordingly, we have attached the Current Report to this prospectus supplement.

The Prospectus and this prospectus supplement relate to the issuance by us of an aggregate of up to 21,320,000 shares of our common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), consisting of (i) 7,520,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of 7,520,000 warrants (the “Private Warrants”) originally issued in a private placement to CITIC Capital Acquisition Corp. (“CCAC”) in connection with the initial public offering of CCAC and (ii) 13,800,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of 13,800,000 warrants (the “Public Warrants” and, together with the Private Warrants, the “Warrants”) originally issued in the initial public offering of CCAC.

The Prospectus and this prospectus supplement also relate to the offer and sale from time to time by the selling securityholders named in the Prospectus or their permitted transferees (the “selling securityholders”) of (i) up to 57,538,996 shares of Common Stock consisting of (a) 3,695,000 shares of Common Stock purchased by subscripts for $10.00 per share in a private placement pursuant to subscription agreements entered into in connection with the Business Combination (as defined in the Prospectus), (b) 7,520,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Warrants which have an exercise price equal to $11.50 per share, (c) 6,900,000 shares of Common Stock originally issued to CCAC for approximately $0.004 per share, (d) 34,422,480 shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the Business Combination (as defined in the Prospectus) as merger consideration at an acquiror share value of $10.00 per share, (e) 197,875 shares held by Tomoyuki Izuhara pursuant to the exercise of options to purchase Common Stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.36 to $4.29 per share, and (f) 4,803,641 shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Share Issuance Agreements (as defined in the Prospectus), at a deemed per share price of $1.9841, and (ii) up to 7,520,000 Private Warrants.

The common stock and Warrants were listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbols “QNGY” and “QNGY WS,” respectively. Trading in these securities was suspended on the NYSE after market close on November 8, 2022 and the NYSE filed a Form 25 with the SEC to delist the securities on April 5, 2023. The common stock and Warrants currently trade exclusively on the OTC Pink Marketplace under the symbols “QNGYQ” and “QNGWQ”, respectively.

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined under U.S. federal securities laws and, as such, have elected to comply with reduced public company reporting requirements. The Prospectus complies with the requirements that apply to an issuer that is an emerging growth company.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should review carefully the risks and uncertainties described in the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 8 of the Prospectus and under similar headings in any amendments or supplements to the Prospectus.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities, or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus supplement or the Prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

(a) subject to Section 3.5(e) below, on the Effective Date, the Insurance Contracts shall vest, unaltered and in their entirety with the Post-Effective Date Debtor, and all debts, obligations, and liabilities of the Debtor (and, after the Effective Date, of the Post-Effective Date Debtor) thereunder, whether arising before or after the Effective Date, shall survive and shall not be amended, modified, waived, released, discharged or impaired in any respect, all such debts, obligations, and liabilities of the Debtor (and, after the Effective Date, of the Post-Effective Date Debtor) shall be satisfied by the Post-Effective Date Debtor in the ordinary course of business, and the Insurers shall not need to or be required to file or serve any objection to a proposed cure amount or a request, application, Claim, proof or motion for payment or allowance of any Claim or Administrative Claim and shall not be subject to any bar date or similar deadline governing cure amounts, proofs of claim or Administrative Claims;

(c) nothing in this Section 3.5 shall constitute a waiver of any Causes of Action the Debtor, its Estate or the Post-Effective Date Debtor may hold against any Entity, including any Insurers.

(d) subject to Section 3.5(e) below, nothing shall modify the scope of, or alter in any other way, the rights and obligations of the Insurers, the Debtor (or, after the Effective Date, the Post-Effective Date Debtor), or any other individual or entity, as applicable, under the Insurance Contracts, and all such rights and obligations shall be determined under the Insurance Contracts and applicable non-bankruptcy law as if the Chapter 11 Case had not occurred, and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Insurers shall retain any and all rights, claims and defenses to liability and/or coverage that they have under the Insurance Contracts, including the right to contest and/or litigate with any party, including the Debtor and the Post-Effective Date Debtor, the existence, primacy and/or scope of liability and/or available coverage under any alleged applicable Insurance Contract; and

The Post-Effective Date Debtor may (i) designate any Claim as Allowed at any time from and after the Effective Date and (ii) may designate any Claim as a Disputed Claim and not Allowed at any time from and after the Effective Date until the Claim Objection Deadline.

ARTICLE V

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN AND THE PLAN ADMINISTRATOR

5.1 Implementation of the Plan. The Plan will be implemented by, among other things, the appointment of the Plan Administrator, the formation of the Plan Oversight Committee, and the making of Distributions from the Assets, including, without limitation, all Cash and the proceeds, if any, from the Retained Causes of Action, by the Post-Effective Date Debtor in accordance with the Plan and the Plan Administrator Agreement.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, on and after the Effective Date, all Assets of the Estate, including all claims, rights, Retained Causes of Action and any property acquired by the Debtor under or in connection with the Plan, shall vest in the Post-Effective Date Debtor, free and clear of all Claims, Liens, charges, other encumbrances and Interests.

5.2 Substantive Consolidation. The Debtor seeks authorization, pursuant to section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code, for the Substantive Consolidation of the Debtor and its Estate and Quanergy Perception as of the Petition Date free and clear of all Liens, Claims, Interests, and encumbrances, for all purposes, including the consolidation of assets and liabilities, the solicitation of acceptance of the Plan, and Distributions to Creditors, such that all property of the Estate and Quanergy Perception will be merged and consolidated into, and vested in, the Estate and became the property of the Estate as of the Petition Date, and such that all Assets and liabilities of the Estate include those of Quanergy Perception as of the Petition Date, unless provided otherwise in the Plan with respect to any specific liability or asset, and as such liabilities and Assets are treated in the Plan, attached to the Estate and became the liabilities and Assets of the Estate as of the Petition Date. For the avoidance of doubt, any property vested in the Estate under the Confirmation Order shall be subject to all Claims, Liens, Interests and encumbrances, and priorities concerning the Plan, as the same are provided for in the Plan, and subject to all defenses, Claims, and Avoidance Actions that exist with respect to the same, but only to the extent such Claims, Liens, Interests and encumbrances are otherwise preserved or provided for in the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, any claim or Cause of Action held by and between the Debtor and its Estate, on the one hand, and Quanergy Perception, on the other hand, shall be cancelled pursuant to the effectuation of the consolidation under the Confirmation Order and all claims and Causes of Action of the Debtor, its Estate or Quanergy Perception are preserved as property of the Debtor and its Estate and shall be transferred to the Post-Effective Date Debtor under the Plan.

5.3 Merger Transaction. The Debtor seeks authorization, pursuant to sections 105(a) and 363(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, to effectuate the Merger Transaction with non-Debtor Quanergy Perception following the Substantive Consolidation. The Merger Transaction contemplates a transaction in which Quanergy Perception will be merged with and into the Debtor, with the Debtor as the surviving entity pursuant to a parent-subsidiary short-form merger under section 253 of the Delaware General Corporate Law (the “DGCL”). Section 253 of the DGCL provides that, where a parent owns 90% or more of all classes of stock of another corporation, the board of the parent can approve a merger of the subsidiary into the parent without holding a meeting of the parent’s stockholders. Accordingly, in accordance with section 253 of the DGCL, the Debtor’s Board adopted resolutions authorizing the entry into the Merger Transaction with Quanergy Perception. The Merger Transaction will be effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Ownership and Merger in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

5.4 The Debtor’s Post-Effective Date Corporate Affairs.

On the Effective Date, the Plan Administrator shall be the sole officer and director of the Post-Effective Date Debtor and appointed to manage the Post-Effective Date Debtor, in consultation with the Plan Oversight Committee, in accordance with the Plan and the Plan Administrator Agreement. Following the implementation of the Plan, the administration and Distribution of the Assets in accordance with the terms of the Plan, and the winding down of the Post-Effective Date Debtor’s affairs, without the need for any further order or action of the Bankruptcy Court, the Post-Effective Date Debtor will be dissolved and its affairs will be wound up in accordance with Delaware law. The Plan Administrator is authorized to take, in consultation with the Plan Oversight Committee, all actions reasonably necessary to dissolve the Post-Effective Date Debtor, and neither the Plan Administrator nor the Post-Effective Date Debtor shall be required to pay any taxes or fees in order to cause such dissolution and termination of the Post-Effective Date Debtor’s existence.

5.6.5 Indemnification of the Plan Administrator and Related Parties. The Debtor and the Post-Effective Date Debtor shall indemnify and hold harmless: (i) the Plan Administrator (solely in his or her capacity as such); (ii) the Plan Administrator Professionals; and (iii) the Plan Oversight Committee and Plan Oversight Committee Members (solely in their capacity as such) (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), with respect to any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses arising out of or due to their post-Effective Date actions or omissions, or consequences of such actions or omissions, taken in connection with the Plan, the Plan Administrator Agreement and the Confirmation Order, other than acts or omissions, or consequences of such post-Effective Date actions or omissions, resulting from such Indemnified Party’s bad faith, willful misconduct (including, without limitation, actual fraud) or gross negligence. To the extent that an Indemnified Party asserts a claim for indemnification as provided above, (i) any payment on account of such claim shall be paid solely from the Estate and (ii) the legal fees and related costs incurred by counsel to the Plan Administrator in monitoring and participating in the defense of such claims giving rise to the asserted right of indemnification shall be advanced to such Indemnified Party (and such Indemnified Party undertakes to repay such amounts if it ultimately shall be determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified therefore) out of the Estate or any insurance. The indemnification provisions of the Plan Administrator Agreement shall remain available to and be binding upon any former Plan Administrator or the estate of any decedent of the Plan Administrator and shall survive the termination of the Plan Administrator Agreement.

5.6.6 Insurance. The Plan Administrator shall be authorized to obtain and pay for, out of the funds of the Estate, all reasonably necessary insurance coverage for himself or herself, his or her agents, representatives, employees or independent contractors and the Debtor, including, but not limited to, coverage with respect to: (i) any property that is or may in the future become the property of the Debtor or the Estate; and (ii) the liabilities, duties and obligations of the Plan Administrator and his or her agents, representatives, employees or independent contractors under the Plan Administrator Agreement, the latter of which insurance coverage may remain in effect for a reasonable period of time as determined by the Plan Administrator after the termination of the Plan Administrator Agreement.

5.6.7 Preservation of Retained Causes of Action. Except as expressly set forth in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, the Post-Effective Date Debtor shall retain all Retained Causes of Action and nothing contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order shall be deemed to be a release, waiver or relinquishment of any such Retained Causes of Action. The Post-Effective Date Debtor or the Plan Administrator, as applicable, shall retain, reserve and be entitled to assert all such Retained Causes of Action as fully as if the Chapter 11 Case had not been commenced, and all of

the Post-Effective Date Debtor’s legal and equitable rights respecting any Claim that is not specifically waived or relinquished by the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or any Final Order (including settlement or other agreements authorized thereby) may be asserted after the Effective Date to the same extent as if the Chapter 11 Case had not been commenced. Except as provided below, recovery, if any, on a Retained Cause of Action against any of the Debtor’s and Quanergy Perception’s officers and directors serving as of the Petition Date (collectively, the “Current D&Os”) shall be limited to the amount of insurance coverage, if any, provided under any applicable Insurance Contract. Specifically, and subject to the exceptions below, (i) no Person or Entity shall have a right to recover the amount of any settlement or judgment arising out of the Retained Causes of Action against a Current D&O outside or in excess of the available insurance amounts under any applicable Insurance Contract, and (ii) no Person or Entity other than the applicable insurers under the applicable Insurance Contracts shall be potentially responsible for payment of any settlement or judgment arising out of the Retained Causes of Action against the Current D&Os; provided that the Current D&Os liability for the Retained Causes of Action shall not be waived or released, and a Person or Entity may commence an action to impose liability and seek to collect on any settlement or judgment against the Current D&Os arising out of any Retained Cause of Action for the limited and sole purpose of triggering coverage under any applicable Insurance Contract;; provided further, however, that recovery on a Retained Cause of Action against any of the Current D&Os will not be limited to the amount of insurance coverage provided under any applicable Insurance Contract if (i) insurance coverage is not available to the Current D&Os under any applicable Insurance Contract because coverage is excluded or coverage is denied with respect to any Retained Causes of Action against the Current D&Os, (ii) the Current D&Os fail to provide reasonable cooperation, as required under the terms of any applicable Insurance Contract or applicable law, with any litigation in which they are a named defendant or identified as a third party witness, including, without limitation, with respect to reasonable requests for document production or any other discovery requests, (iii) any Retained Causes of Action against the Current D&Os arises from criminal acts, willful misconduct, actual fraud, gross negligence, or any other conduct for which coverage may be excluded under the terms of an applicable Insurance Contract. Neither the foregoing limitations on recovery from the Current D&Os nor anything else in this Plan shall impair or affect the existing rights of any insurer to enforce the terms of the Insurance Contract consistent with applicable law.

5.7 Plan Oversight Committee.

5.7.1 Creation of the Plan Oversight Committee. On or before ten (10) days prior to the commencement of the Confirmation Hearing and subject to Bankruptcy Court approval in connection with Confirmation of the Plan, the Committee shall designate the Plan Oversight Committee Members, which members shall be reasonably acceptable to the Debtor. Each Plan Oversight Committee Member shall be authorized to act in accordance with the Plan and the Plan Administrator Agreement. Plan Oversight Committee Members shall be entitled to compensation as provided under the Plan Administrator Agreement and reimbursement of actual, reasonable expenses incurred in the course of discharging their responsibilities as Plan Oversight Committee Members if such expenses have been approved by the Plan Administrator prior to being incurred. For the avoidance of doubt, Plan Oversight Committee Members shall not be entitled to reimbursement of fees and expenses of such Plan Oversight Committee Members’ legal counsel or other professional advisors.

The Plan Oversight Committee shall have independent standing to appear and be heard in the Bankruptcy Court as to any matter relating to the Plan, the Plan Administrator Agreement, the Estates or the Post-Effective Date Debtor, including any matter as to which the Bankruptcy Court has retained jurisdiction pursuant to Article X of the Plan.

5.7.3 Function and Duration of the Plan Oversight Committee. The Plan Oversight Committee shall have the rights and responsibilities set forth in the Plan and the Plan Administrator Agreement, including instructing and supervising the Plan Administrator with respect to its responsibilities under the Plan and the Plan Administrator Agreement.

ARTICLE VII

PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS

7.1 Interest on Claims. Except to the extent provided in section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Plan or the Confirmation Order, post-petition interest, penalties or fees shall not accrue or be paid on Allowed Claims, and no Holder of an Allowed Claim shall be entitled to interest accruing on any Allowed Claim from and after the Petition Date.

7.2 Distributions by Post-Effective Date Debtor. The Plan Administrator or its designee, on behalf of the Post-Effective Date Debtor, shall serve as the disbursing agent under the Plan with respect to Distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims (provided that the Post-Effective Date Debtor may hire professionals or consultants to assist with making Distributions). The Post-Effective Date Debtor shall make all Distributions required to be made to such Holders of Allowed Claims pursuant to the Plan, the Confirmation Order and the Plan Administrator Agreement. The Post-Effective Date Debtor shall not be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of the Plan Administrator’s duties as disbursing agent unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court.

7.3 Distributions for Claims Allowed as of the Effective Date. Except as otherwise provided herein or as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, all Distributions to be made on account of Claims that are Allowed Claims as of the Effective Date shall be made on the initial distribution date by the Post-Effective Date Debtor. Distributions on account of Claims that first become Allowed Claims after the Effective Date shall be made pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Plan Administrator Agreement. No Distribution shall be made on account of, without limitation, any Allowed Claim or portion thereof that (i) has been satisfied after the Petition Date; (ii) is listed in the schedules as contingent, unliquidated, disputed or in a zero amount, and for which a proof of claim has not been timely Filed; or (iii) is evidenced by a proof of claim that has been amended by a subsequently Filed proof of claim.

7.4 Means of Cash Payment.

(a) Cash payments under the Plan shall be made, at the option, and in the sole discretion, of the Post-Effective Date Debtor, by wire, check or such other method as the Post-Effective Date Debtor deems appropriate under the circumstances. Cash payments to foreign creditors may be made, at the option, and in the sole discretion, of the Post-Effective Date Debtor, in such funds and by such means as are necessary or customary in a particular foreign jurisdiction. Cash payments made pursuant to the Plan in the form of checks issued by the Post-Effective Date Debtor shall be null and void if not cashed within ninety (90) days of the date of the issuance thereof. Requests for reissuance of any check within ninety (90) days of the date of the issuance thereof shall be made directly to the Post-Effective Date Debtor.

(b) For purposes of effectuating Distributions under the Plan, any Claim denominated in foreign currency shall be converted to U.S. Dollars pursuant to the applicable published exchange rate in effect on the Petition Date.

7.5 Fractional Distributions. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, no payment of fractional cents shall be made pursuant to the Plan. Whenever any payment of a fraction of a cent under the Plan would otherwise be required, the actual Distribution made shall reflect a rounding of such fraction to the nearest whole penny (up or down), with half cents or more being rounded up and fractions less than half of a cent being rounded down.

7.6 De Minimis Distributions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, the Post-Effective Date Debtor shall not be required to distribute, and shall not distribute, Cash or other property to the Holder of any Allowed Claim if the amount of Cash or other property to be distributed on account of such Claim is less than $100. Any Holder of an Allowed Claim on account of which the amount of Cash or other property to be distributed is less than $100 shall be forever barred from asserting such Claim against the Estate.

7.7 Delivery of Distributions. All Distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be made at the address of such Holder as set forth in the claims register maintained in the Chapter 11 Case (subject to, after the Effective Date, a change of address notification provided by a Holder in writing in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Post-Effective Date Debtor) or, in the absence of a Filed-proof of claim, the Schedules. If a Distribution is returned as undeliverable, the Post-Effective Date Debtor shall have no affirmative obligation to locate such current address. If the Post-Effective Date Debtor cannot determine, or is not notified in writing of, a Holder’s then-current address within ninety (90) days after the Effective Date or does not receive a request for reissuance of any check within ninety (90) days of the date of the issuance, the Distribution reserved for such Holder shall be deemed an unclaimed Distribution. The responsibility to provide the Post-Effective Date Debtor a current address of a Holder of Claims shall always be the responsibility of such Holder. Except as set forth above, nothing contained in the Plan shall require the Post-Effective Date Debtor to attempt to locate any Holder of an Allowed Claim. Amounts in respect of undeliverable Distributions made by the Post-Effective Date Debtor shall be held in trust on behalf of the Holder of the Allowed Claim to which they are payable by the Post-Effective Date Debtor until the earlier of the date that such undeliverable Distributions are claimed by such Holder and ninety (90) days after the date the undeliverable Distributions were made. The Post-Effective Date Debtor is entitled to, but shall have no obligation to, recognize the sale or transfer of any Claim that occurs after the Confirmation Date.

7.8 Withholding, Payment and Reporting Requirements with Respect to Distributions. All Distributions under the Plan shall, to the extent applicable, comply with all tax withholding, payment and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, provincial, local or foreign taxing authority, and all Distributions shall be subject to any such withholding, payment and reporting requirements. The Post-Effective Date Debtor shall be authorized to take any and all actions that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding, payment and

reporting requirements. The Post-Effective Date Debtor may require, in the Post-Effective Date Debtor’s sole and absolute discretion and as a condition to the receipt of any Distribution, that the Holder of an Allowed Claim complete and return to the Post-Effective Date Debtor the appropriate Form W-8 or Form W-9, as applicable, to each Holder. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, (a) each Holder of an Allowed Claim that is to receive a Distribution pursuant to the Plan shall have sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed by any governmental unit, including income, withholding and other tax obligations, on account of such Distribution, and including, in the case of any Holder of a Disputed Claim that has become an Allowed Claim, any tax obligation that would be imposed upon the Estate in connection with such Distribution; and (b) no Distribution shall be made to or on behalf of such Holder pursuant to the Plan unless and until such Holder has made arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Post-Effective Date Debtor for the payment and satisfaction of such withholding tax obligations or such tax obligation that would be imposed upon the Estate in connection with such Distribution.

7.9 Setoffs. The Post-Effective Date Debtor may, but shall not be required to, set off against any Claim, any payments, Retained Causes of Actions or other Distributions to be made by the Post-Effective Date Debtor pursuant to the Plan in respect of such Claim, any claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtor or the Estate may have against the Holder of such Claim; provided, however, that neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Debtor, the Estate or the Post-Effective Date Debtor of any such claim that it may have against such Holder, provided further, that if the Post-Effective Date Debtor sets off any Avoidance Action or Retained Cause of Action against the recovery to any Holder of a Claim pursuant to this Section 7.9, the Post-Effective Date Debtor shall not be deemed to have impaired, estopped, waived, or released any rights to prosecute the same such Avoidance Action or Retained Cause of Action against any other Person or Entity.

7.10 No Distribution in Excess of Allowed Amounts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Holder of an Allowed Claim shall receive in respect of such Claim any Distribution of a value as of the Effective Date in excess of the Allowed amount of such Claim.

7.11 Allocation of Distributions. All Distributions received under the Plan by Holders of Claims shall be deemed to be allocated first to the principal amount of such Claim as determined for United States federal income tax purposes and then to accrued interest, if any, with respect to such Claim.

7.12 Forfeiture of Distributions. If the Holder of an Allowed Claim fails to cash a check payable to it within the time period set forth in Section 7.4(a) of the Plan, fails to claim an undeliverable Distribution within the time limit set forth in Section 7.7 of the Plan, or fails to complete and return to the Post-Effective Date Debtor the appropriate Form W-8 or Form W-9 within 120 days of the written request by the Post-Effective Date Debtor for the completion and return to it of the appropriate form pursuant to Section 7.8 of the Plan, then such Holder shall be deemed to have forfeited its right to any Distributions from the Estate (or the proceeds thereof) and the Post-Effective Date Debtor. The forfeited Distributions shall become unrestricted Assets, and shall be redistributed to Holders of Allowed Claims in accordance with the terms of the Plan after reserving as necessary for payment of expenses of the Plan Administrator and otherwise in compliance with the Plan and the Plan Administrator Agreement. In the event the Post-Effective Date Debtor determines, in the Post-Effective Date Debtor’s sole discretion, that any such amounts are too small in total to economically redistribute to the Holders of Allowed Claims, the Post-Effective Date Debtor may instead donate such amounts to a charitable organization(s), free of any restrictions thereon, notwithstanding any federal or state escheat laws to the contrary.

ARTICLE VIII

PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING DISPUTED, CONTINGENT AND UNLIQUIDATED CLAIMS AND DISTRIBUTIONS WITH RESPECT THERETO

8.1 Claims Administration Responsibility. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan and the Plan Administrator Agreement, after the Effective Date, the Post-Effective Date Debtor shall have the authority (a) to file, withdraw or litigate to judgment objections to Claims; (b) to settle, compromise or Allow any Claim or Disputed Claim without any further notice to or action, order or approval by the Bankruptcy Court; (c) to amend the Schedules in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code; and (d) to administer and adjust the claims register to reflect any such settlements or compromises without any further notice to or action, order or approval by the Bankruptcy Court. Any agreement entered into by the Post-Effective Date Debtor in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Confirmation Order with respect to the allowance of any Claim shall be conclusive evidence and a final determination of the Allowance of such Claim.

8.2 Claim Objections. All objections to Claims (other than (i) Administrative Claims and (ii) Professional Fee Claims, which Professional Fee Claims shall be governed by Section 11.2 of the Plan) shall be Filed on or before the Claim Objection Deadline, which date may be extended by the Bankruptcy Court upon a motion Filed by the Post-Effective Date Debtor on or before the Claim Objection Deadline with notice only to those parties entitled to notice in the Chapter 11 Case pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002 as of the Filing of such motion. The Filing of a motion to extend the Claim Objection Deadline shall automatically extend the Claim Objection Deadline until a Final Order is entered by the Bankruptcy Court. In the event that such a motion to extend the Claim Objection Deadline is denied, the Claim Objection Deadline shall be the later of the then-current Claim Objection Deadline (as previously extended, if applicable) or thirty (30) days after entry of a Final Order denying the motion to extend the Claim Objection Deadline.

8.3 No Distributions Pending Allowance. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or the Plan Administrator Agreement, no payments or Distributions shall be made with respect to a Disputed Claim unless and until all objections to such Disputed Claim have been settled, withdrawn, or determined by a Final Order, and the Disputed Claim has become an Allowed Claim. To the extent that a Claim is not a Disputed Claim but is held by a Holder that is or may be liable to the Debtor or the Post-Effective Date Debtor on account of a Retained Cause of Action, no payments or Distributions shall be made with respect to all or any portion of such Claim unless and until such Claim and liability have been settled or withdrawn or have been determined by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court or such other court having jurisdiction over the matter.

8.4 Estimation of Contingent or Unliquidated Claims. The Post-Effective Date Debtor may, at any time, request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any contingent or unliquidated Claim pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, regardless of whether the Debtor has previously objected to such Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, and the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to estimate any Claim at any time during litigation concerning any objection to any Claim, including during the pendency of any appeal relating to any such objection. In the event the Bankruptcy Court so estimates any contingent or unliquidated Claim, that estimated amount shall constitute the Allowed amount of such Claim. All of the Claims objection, estimation and resolution procedures in this Section 8 of the Plan are cumulative and are not necessarily exclusive of one another.

8.5 Amendments to Claims. On or after the Effective Date, a Claim may not be Filed or amended to increase liability or to assert new liabilities without the prior authorization of the Bankruptcy Court or the Post-Effective Date Debtor and any such new or amended Claim Filed without prior authorization shall be deemed disallowed in full and expunged without any further action. Any Claims Filed after the applicable deadlines in the Bar Date Order or the Plan shall be automatically deemed disallowed in full and expunged without further action, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court.

ARTICLE IX

All requests for payment of an Administrative Claim (other than a Section 503(b)(9) Claim) arising on or after the Petition Date must be Filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served on counsel to the Plan Administrator, counsel to the Post-Effective Date Debtor, and counsel to the U.S. Trustee no later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. In the event of an objection to allowance of an Administrative Claim, the Bankruptcy Court shall determine the Allowed amount of such Administrative Claim.

The Professional Fee Reserve shall vest in the Estate and shall be maintained by the Post-Effective Date Debtor in accordance with the Plan and the Plan Administrator Agreement. The Estate shall fund the Professional Fee Reserve on the Effective Date in an amount that is agreed upon by the Debtor and the Committee and that approximates, as of the Effective Date, the total projected amount of unpaid Professional Fee Claims. If the Debtor and the Committee are unable to agree on the amount in which the Professional Fee Reserve is to be funded, the Debtor and the Committee shall submit the issue to the Bankruptcy Court, which, following notice and a hearing, shall fix the amount of the required Professional Fee Reserve. Any excess funds in the Professional Fee Reserve shall be released back to the Estate to be used for other purposes consistent with the Plan and the Plan Administrator Agreement.

11.5 Modifications and Amendments.

(a) The Debtor may alter, amend or modify the Plan under section 1127(a) of the Bankruptcy Code at any time prior to the Confirmation Date. All alterations, amendments or modifications to the Plan must comply with section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtor shall provide parties in interest with notice of such amendments or modifications as may be required by the Bankruptcy Rules or Order of the Bankruptcy Court. A Holder of a Claim that has accepted the Plan shall be deemed to have accepted the Plan, as altered, amended, modified or clarified, if the proposed alteration, amendment, modification or clarification does not materially and adversely change the treatment of the Claim of such Holder.

(b) After the Confirmation Date and prior to substantial consummation (as defined in section 1101(2) of the Bankruptcy Code) of the Plan, the Debtor or the Post-Effective Date Debtor, as applicable, may, under section 1127(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, institute proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court to remedy any defect or omission or to reconcile any inconsistencies in the Plan, the Disclosure Statement approved with respect to the Plan, or the Confirmation Order, and such matters as may be necessary to carry out the purpose and effect of the Plan. Such proceedings must comply with section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code. To the extent required, prior notice of such proceedings shall be served in accordance with the Bankruptcy Rules or an order of the Bankruptcy Court. A Holder of a Claim that has accepted the Plan shall be deemed to have accepted the Plan, as altered, amended, modified or clarified, if the proposed alteration, amendment, modification or clarification does not materially and adversely change the treatment of the Claim of such Holder.

11.6 Severability of Plan Provisions. If, prior to Confirmation, any term or provision of the Plan is held by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court, at the request of the Debtor, shall have the power to alter and interpret such term or provision to make it valid or enforceable to the maximum extent practicable, consistent with the original purpose of the term or provision held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, and such term or provision shall then be applicable as altered or interpreted. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration, or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions of the Plan shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated by such holding, alteration or interpretation. The Confirmation Order shall constitute a judicial determination and shall provide that each term and provision of the Plan, as it may have been altered or interpreted, is valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms.

11.7 Successors and Assigns. The rights, benefits and obligations of any Entity named or referred to in the Plan shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of, any heir, executor, administrator, personal representative, successor or assign of such Entity.

11.11 Releases and Related Matters.

(a) Releases by Debtor. As of the Effective Date, for good and valuable consideration, including the contributions of the Debtor Released Parties in facilitating the administration of the Chapter 11 Case and other actions contemplated by the Plan and the other contracts, instruments, releases, agreements or documents executed and delivered in connection with the Plan and the Chapter 11 Case, the Debtor Released Parties are deemed forever released by the Debtor and the Estate, and anyone claiming by or through the Debtor and the Estate, from any and all claims, interests, obligations, rights, suits, damages, Causes of Action, (including any and all Causes of Action under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code), remedies and liabilities whatsoever, including any derivative claims or claims asserted or assertible on behalf of the Debtor and the Estate, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, existing or hereinafter arising, in law, equity or otherwise, that the Debtor or the Estate would have been legally entitled to assert in their own right or on behalf of the Holder of any Claim or Interest, based in whole or in part on any act, omission, transaction, event or other occurrence taking place on or prior to the Effective Date, including in any way relating to the Debtor, the Estate, the Chapter 11 Case, the Plan, the Disclosure Statement or related agreements, instruments or other documents in the Chapter 11 Case; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, the Retained Causes of Action shall not be released by the Debtor or its Estate; provided, further, that the foregoing provisions of this release in Section 11.11(a) of the Plan shall not operate to waive, release or otherwise impair any Causes of Action arising from criminal acts, willful misconduct, actual fraud, or gross negligence of such applicable Debtor Released Party as determined by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court or any other court of competent jurisdiction; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 11.11(a) of the Plan shall act as a release of a direct claim that any Holder of a Claim or Interest may have against any Released Party.

(b) Releases by Holders of Claims. As of the Effective Date, for good and valuable consideration, including the contributions of the Released Parties in facilitating the administration of the Chapter 11 Case and other actions contemplated by the Plan and the other contracts, instruments, releases, agreements or documents executed and delivered in connection with the Plan and the Chapter 11 Case, each of the Releasing Parties shall be deemed to have conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably and forever, released the Released Parties from any and all Claims, Interests, obligations, rights, suits, damages, Causes of Action (including any and all Causes of Action under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code), remedies and liabilities whatsoever, including any derivative claims or claims asserted or assertible on behalf of the Debtor and the Estate, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, existing or hereafter arising, in law, equity or otherwise, that such Releasing Party would have been legally entitled to assert (whether individually or collectively), based in whole or in part on any act, omission, transaction, event or other occurrence taking place on or prior to the Effective Date, including in any way relating to the Debtor, the Estate, the Chapter 11 Case, the Plan, the Disclosure Statement or related agreements, instruments or other documents; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed a waiver or release of any right of any such Releasing Parties to receive a Distribution pursuant to the terms of the Plan; provided further, however, that the foregoing provisions of this release in Section 11.11(b) of the Plan shall not operate to waive, release or otherwise impair any Causes of Action arising from criminal acts, willful misconduct, actual fraud, or gross negligence of such applicable Released Party as determined by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court or any other court of competent jurisdiction. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the foregoing release by the Releasing Parties is not, and shall not be deemed to be, in exchange for a waiver of the Debtor’s rights or claims against the Releasing Parties, including the Debtor’s rights to assert setoffs, recoupments or counterclaims, or to object or assert defenses to any Claim or Interest, and all such rights and Claims are expressly reserved.

(c) Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California provides as follows:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.

Each Holder of a Claim in a Class deemed to accept the Plan and each Holder in a Class entitled to vote on the Plan that does not timely submit a Release Opt-Out indicating such Holder’s decision to not participate in the releases set forth in Section 11.11(b) of the Plan, or Files an objection to the releases in Section 11.11(b) of the Plan prior to the deadline to object to Confirmation of the Plan shall be deemed to have voluntarily waived the rights described in Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California.

(d) Notwithstanding any language to the contrary contained in the Disclosure Statement, Plan, or Confirmation Order, no provision shall (i) preclude the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) from enforcing its police or regulatory powers; or (ii) enjoin, impair or delay the SEC from commencing or continuing any claims, causes of action, proceeding or investigations against any non-debtor Person or non-debtor Entity in any forum.

11.12 Exculpation and Limitation of Liability. On the Effective Date, for good and valuable consideration, the adequacy of which is hereby confirmed, to the maximum extent permitted by law, none of the Exculpated Parties shall have or incur any liability to any Person or Entity, including, without limitation, to any Holder of a Claim or an Interest, for any act or omission occurring on or after the Petition Date and prior to or on the Effective Date in connection with, relating to, or arising out of the Chapter 11 Case, the formulation, negotiation, preparation, dissemination, solicitation of acceptances, implementation, confirmation or consummation of the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the Plan Administrator Agreement or any contract, instrument, release or other agreement or document created, executed or contemplated in connection with the Plan, or the administration of the Plan, or the Assets and property to be distributed under the Plan, or for any other act taken or omitted to be taken on or after the Petition Date and prior to or on the Effective Date; provided, however, that the exculpation provisions of this Section 11.12 shall not apply to acts or omissions constituting actual fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence by such Exculpated Party, as determined by a Final Order.

11.13 Term of Injunctions or Stays. Unless otherwise provided herein or in the Confirmation Order, all injunctions or stays provided for in the Chapter 11 Case under sections 105 or 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, and extant on the Confirmation Date (including any injunctions or stays contained in or arising from the Plan or the Confirmation Order), shall remain in full force and effect.

11.14 Revocation, Withdrawal or Non-Consummation. The Debtor reserves the right to revoke or withdraw the Plan at any time prior to the Confirmation Date and to file subsequent chapter 11 plans. If the Debtor revokes or withdraws the Plan prior to the Confirmation Date, or if Confirmation or the Effective Date does not occur, then (a) the Plan shall be null and void in all respects; (b) any settlement or compromise embodied in the Plan (including the fixing or limiting to an amount certain any Claim or Class of Claims) and any document or agreement executed pursuant to the Plan shall be deemed null and void; and (c) nothing contained in the Plan, and no acts taken in preparation for consummation of the Plan, shall (i) constitute or be deemed to constitute a waiver or release of any Claims against, or any Interests in, the Debtor, or any Avoidance Actions, Retained Causes of Action or other Claims by or against the Debtor or any Entity, (ii) prejudice in any manner the rights of any Debtor or any Entity in any further proceedings involving the Debtor or (iii) constitute an admission of any sort by the Debtor or any other Entity.

11.15 Computation of Time. In computing any period of time prescribed or allowed by the Plan, the provisions of Rule 9006(a) of the Bankruptcy Rules shall apply.

11.16 Headings. The headings of articles, paragraphs and subparagraphs of the Plan are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of any provision of the Plan.

11.17 Governing Law. Unless a rule of law or procedure is supplied by federal law (including the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules), and except as otherwise provide herein, the laws of (a) the State of Delaware shall govern the construction and implementation of the Plan and (except as may be provided otherwise in any such agreements, documents or instruments) any agreements, documents and instruments executed in connection with the Plan and (b) the laws of the state of formation of the Debtor shall govern corporate governance matters with respect to the Debtor; in each case without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

11.18 Notices. Following the Effective Date, all pleadings and notices Filed in the Chapter 11 Case shall be served solely on (i) the Post-Effective Date Debtor and their counsel, (ii) the U.S. Trustee, (iii) any party whose rights are affected by the applicable pleading or notice and (iv) any party Filing a request with the Bankruptcy Court in the Chapter 11 Case to receive notices and papers in the Chapter 11 Case following the Effective Date.

11.19 Preservation of Retained Causes of Action.

11.19.1 Vesting of Causes of Action.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or Confirmation Order, in accordance with section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, any Retained Causes of Action that the Debtor may hold against any Person or Entity shall vest upon the Effective Date in the Post-Effective Date Debtor.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or Confirmation Order, after the Effective Date, the Post-Effective Date Debtor shall have the exclusive right to institute, prosecute, abandon, settle or compromise any Retained Causes of Action, in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Plan Administrator Agreement and without further order of or notice to the Bankruptcy Court, in any court or other tribunal, including, without limitation, in an adversary proceeding Filed in the Chapter 11 Case.

11.19.2 Reservation of Causes of Action. Unless a Retained Cause of Action against a Holder or other Person or Entity is expressly waived, relinquished, released, compromised or settled in the Plan, the Confirmation Order or any Final Order, the Debtor, the Estate and the Post-Effective Date Debtor expressly reserve such Retained Cause of Action for later adjudication by the Post-Effective Date Debtor, including, without limitation, Retained Causes of Action of which the Debtor may presently be unaware or which may arise or exist by reason of additional facts or circumstances unknown to the Debtor at this time or facts or circumstances that may change or be different from those the Debtor now believes to exist. Therefore, no preclusion doctrine, including, without limitation, the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, waiver, estoppel (judicial, equitable or otherwise), laches or the like, shall apply to such Retained Causes of Action upon or after the entry of the Confirmation Order or Effective Date based on the Disclosure Statement, Plan, or Confirmation Order, except where such Retained Causes of Action have been expressly waived, relinquished, released, compromised or settled in the Plan, the Confirmation Order, a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court or, following the Effective Date, in a written agreement duly executed by the Post-Effective Date Debtor which agreement, by its terms, is not subject to Bankruptcy Court approval.

11.20 Bar Date Order. Nothing herein extends or otherwise modifies a bar date established in the Bar Date Order or other Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court.

11.21 Section 1146 Exemption. Pursuant to section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, the issuance, transfer or exchange of any security under the Plan or the making or delivery of any instrument of transfer pursuant to, in implementation of, or as contemplated by the Plan, or the re-vesting, transfer or sale of any real or personal property of the Debtor pursuant to, in implementation of, or as contemplated by the Plan, shall not be taxed under any state or local law imposing a stamp tax, transfer tax or any similar tax or fee.

11.22 Conflicts with the Plan. In the event and to the extent that any provision of the Plan is inconsistent with the provisions of the Disclosure Statement and any Order in the Chapter 11 Case, or any other agreement to be executed by any Person pursuant to the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control and take precedence; provided, however, that the Confirmation Order shall control and take precedence in the event of any inconsistency between the Confirmation Order, any provision of the Plan, and any of the foregoing documents.

11.23 No Stay of Confirmation Order. The Debtor will request that the Bankruptcy Court waive any stay of enforcement of the Confirmation Order otherwise applicable, including, without limitation, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rules 3020(e), 6004(h) and 7062.
